To Pass Amending By-law to Remove a Holding Provision

The Corporation of the Town of Milton has received a Zoning By-law Amendment application requesting the removal of a Holding (H) symbol. An “H” holding symbol is a mechanism to ensure that certain conditions are met prior to the development of the lands proceeding in accordance with the approved Zoning. If the conditions are met, the Town is required to remove the holding symbol upon application by the landowner, by passing a By-law under Section 36 of the Planning Act.

Council intends to pass an amending by-law to Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, at its regular meeting scheduled on Oct. 7, 2024 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held both in person in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Offices, 150 Mary Street, Milton and using electronic video conference technology.

Purpose and effect

The purpose and effect of the application is to remove the "H86" Holding Provision as the following conditions have been satisfied:

“A certification, prepared by a qualified Engineer, has been provided to the satisfaction of Town of Milton demonstrating that stormwater management works and site grading have been completed in accordance with the drawings and reports provided through the Zoning By-law Amendment application in accordance with the specifications and Town Standards, including the installation of French drains and infiltration galleries, as shown on the grading drawings and storm water management brief provided by Phoenix Engineering Services, dated June 30, 2023.”

Appeal process

Appeal rights are accorded only to the owner of the subject lands with respect to the removal of a Holding Provision and, as such, there are no third party rights of appeal for the removal thereof.
