Purpose and effect of Zoning By-law Amendment 007-2022

The purpose of this Zoning By-law amendment is to update zoning regulations applicable to the residential areas in the Dorset Park and Timberlea sections of Old Milton outside the Downtown Character Area. The proposed amendment to the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, introduces new standards that apply to new development in the form of new housing, replacement housing, and additions and alterations to existing houses. The zoning standards aim to preserve the character of the mature neighbourhood areas and protect them from incompatible development while still allowing for change that is sensitive and respectful of character.

At this time, there are planning applications, under the Planning Act, pertaining to these lands. For a complete list, contact the Town’s Development Services department. All public comments received, if any, were considered in the decision rendered on this file.
