THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING is to review an application for a Zoning By-law Amendment for property known as 190 Mill Street. The subject land is designated as “Commercial” in the Township of Essa’s Official Plan, 2001, and is zoned “Core Commercial (C2) Zone” in Zoning By-law 2003-50.

A site map has been attached.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the Zoning By-law Amendment is available for inspection during regular office hours at the Township of Essa Administration Centre, Planning and Development Department (lower level) or through email correspondence directed to Oliver Ward, Policy Planner at plan@essatownship.on.ca.
ANY PERSON may attend the meeting and make representation or present submissions respecting these matters. If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Township of Essa in respect of the proposed Amendment(s) does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Essa before the proposal is approved or refused, the Ontario Land Tribunal may dismiss all or part of the appeal.
