Date

April 13, 2026

Time

17:30 to 18:00

Location

Town Hall ( 600, Higginson st., Hawkesbury, ON K6A 1H1)

Take notice that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Town of Hawkesbury will hold a public meeting on the 13th day of April 2026, at 5:30 p.m., at Town Hall, 600 Higginson Street to consider a proposed Amendment to Zoning By-law N° 20-2018 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13.

The purpose of the application is to rezone the subject property from Residential Two (R2) to Residential Four – Exception (R4‑XX). The lands are legally described as WEST HAWKWESBURY CON BF PT; LOT 13 RP 46R6084 PARTS 3; AND 4 PT PARTS 1 AND 2 RP;46R6912 PARTS 3 AND 4 and are municipally known as a vacant lot on Paul Crescent. The applicant is requesting site-specific zoning exceptions to reduce the required visitor parking ratio from 20% to 10%, to locate parking in the required front yard, to seek relief from the required parking lot screening provisions, and to reduce the number of required barrier-free parking spaces from 15 to 14.

If a person or public body would otherwise have the ability to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Hawkesbury to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Hawkesbury before the By-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Hawkesbury before the zoning by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

This meeting will take place in person, anyone wishing to attend the meeting must confirm their attendance at the following email address: infoplanning@Hawkesbury.ca, no later than April 9, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. We kindly ask you to send any comments or questions in advance to the above-mentioned email address. This meeting will be available for your viewing on our YouTube channel a few days after the meeting.

If a person wishes to be notified of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Hawkesbury’s decision on the proposed By-law, they must make a written request to the Planning Department by email at infoplanning@Hawkesbury.ca.

Additional information relating to the proposed amendment to Zoning By-law N° 20-2018 is available to the public by contacting the Town’s Planning Department at the following email: infoplanning@Hawkesbury.ca.
