Planning looks light for this first meeting of the fall. A trio of files are on the docket for this one including a decision on a previously announced project, a request for a sign variance at a York Road area institution, and a brand new application for a business that will invite people to get their putt on. Nothing terribly controversial, but City planning business has to get done all the same. Here’s the preview…
NOTE #1: Delegates will be able to appear at this meeting in-person or via tele-presense but you do have to register with the clerks office before 10 am on Friday September 15. You can also submit written delegations and correspondences for agenda items.
NOTE #2: In addition to meeting in-person, this meeting will also be live-streamed on the City of Guelph’s website here.
Decision Report 25 Alice Street Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment File OZS23-004, 2023-334 -Before summer vacation in June, council heard this relatively simple application: the property owners want to tear down the current detached building and build a new semi-detached building, but they need council’s approval because the new zoning bylaw is being appealed at the Ontario Land Tribunal. Staff approves the change.
Sign Variance Report for 176 Morris Street – The Guelph Little Theatre wants a new LED sign above the door, but since the sign is less than 23 metres from a residential property (when the required distance is 30 metres), they need council approval for it to be installed. The proposal has staff’s endorsement to proceed.
Statutory Public Meeting and Decision Report 585 Hanlon Creek Blvd ZBA File OZS23-006 – The applicant here is asking for some slight changes to the zoning that will allow for the creation of a golf simulator in two of the units at a new commercial development. Although this is the statutory public meeting for his project, there will also be a decision at this meeting too.
