Proposal
OPA 01/18 LOB
The purpose and effect of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to amend the Township Official Plan to:
(i) clarify policies related to lands within the Langmaid’s Island Muskoka Heritage Area;
(ii) allow for the creation of 36 lots for residential uses; and
(iii) update and scope values identified in the original “Muskoka Heritage Areas” Report (1983) to reflect the findings of more detailed and recent study and assessment.
Z 01/18 LOB
The purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands from “Waterfront Residential (WR) Development Permit Area” to a site specific “Waterfront Residential with an Exception (WR-E__) Development Permit Area”, Waterfront Open Space with an Exception (WOS-E__) Development Permit Area” and “Waterfront Environmental Protection (WEP) Development Permit Area” to permit the development of 36 lots for residential uses with site specific development provisions.
