Explanatory Note to By-law 64-21

The purpose of By-law 64-21 is to implement the Provincially-approved SPECIAL POLICY AREA policies set out in Official Plan Amendment 22 by amending By-law 256-88, as amended.

By-law 64-21 replaces the FLOOD DAMAGE CENTRE overlay set out in By-law 256-88, as amended, with a SPECIAL POLICY AREA overlay within the north shore area of Lake Wilcox and as more precisely indicated on Schedule “B” to this By-law.

By-law 64-21 restricts permitted uses for those lands subject to the SPECIAL POLICY AREA to SINGLE DETACHED DWELLINGS and it prohibits SECONDARY SUITES.
