Public meeting next week for the Community Planning Permit Bylaw

A message from the Town of Huntsville

The Town of Huntsville is looking for public input on the Draft Community Planning Permit Bylaw (CPP) at an upcoming public meeting on Wednesday, October 27, 2021.

The CPP Bylaw will provide Huntsville with the ability to regulate and manage development in a more streamlined and flexible manner, replace the existing Huntsville Zoning Bylaw, and implement the policies of the Town’s Official Plan.

The CPP Bylaw will provide a new development approval process for Huntsville that merges three separate approvals into one and includes measures to regulate vegetation removal and site alteration, which many in Huntsville have eagerly anticipated, but must also be an approach suitable for application in rural areas.

The Town encourages residents, businesses and interested individuals to review the Draft CPP Bylaw and participate in the Public Meeting.

The virtual public meeting will be held Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at 6:00 p.m., to provide the public with an opportunity to offer comments to planning staff and council on the Draft CPP Bylaw. The meeting notice, link and participation instructions for this meeting are posted at huntsville.ca/PC.

The Draft CPP Bylaw can be viewed at myhuntsville.ca/cppbylaw. Feedback may be provided by contacting planning staff using the questions tabs and staff contact details available on myhuntsville.ca page. Comments on the Draft Bylaw and associated mapping can also be made directly on the Draft Precinct Interactive Map tool.

    I strongly agree with Mr. Leonard Smith “I urge all Rural residents to look at this new by-law carefully … which will affect the majority of landowners.
    There’s more to this Community Planning Permit Bylaw than meets the eye!”

    Much more!

    Will you repost my comment that was in response to Oct.16, 2021 “Applicants told to remove “egregious” retaining wall”? Having been posted Oct. 22, 2021, comment # 15 may well be missed and parts pertain to this draft CPP Bylaw.

    Could this just be a front to make it look like they are doing something?
    After all the damage has been done they want to make changes to the bylaws.
    Did someone say there was an election in the near future?

    I urge all Rural residents to look at this new by-law carefully as I think it is a new tree cutting by-law which will affect the majority of landowners
