In the matter of Section 34 of the Planning Act, the Town of Petawawa hereby gives NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. Application to amend the Zoning By-law 456/07 of the Town of Petawawa.
2. A public meeting regarding an application for an amendment to the Zoning By-law 456/07 of the Town of Petawawa.

Subject Lands          Part of Lot 18, Concession 7, in the Town of Petawawa, as shown on the attached Key Map.

Public Meeting         A public meeting to inform the public of the proposed zoning by-law amendment will be held on May 26, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the municipal office of the Town of Petawawa.

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment

The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment is to rezone a portion of the subject lands from Rural – Exception Twenty (RU-E20) to Residential One – Holding (R1-h). The proposed holding zone will prohibit development until a draft plan of subdivision on municipal water and sewer is approved. The amendment is a condition of approval for consent file B116/24. If approved, the zoning by-law amendment will facilitate the severance of approximately 30 acres for a future plan of subdivision.

Additional information regarding the zoning by-law amendment is available for inspection at the Town of Petawawa Municipal Office during regular office hours.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Town of Petawawa on the proposed zoning by-law amendment, you must make a written request to the Town of Petawawa.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Town of Petawawa 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 Town of Petawawa 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 Town of Petawawa before the by-law is passed by the Town of Petawawa, 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.

Other Applications

The subject lands are subject to other applications under the Planning Act, including:

• Consent Application B116/24, granted on April 1, 2025, conditional on the passage of this zoning by-law amendment.

Note: One of the purposes of the Planning Act is to provide for planning processes that are open, accessible, timely and efficient. Accordingly, all written submissions, documents, correspondence, e-mails or other communications (including your name and address) form part of the public record and will be disclosed/made available by the Municipality to such persons as the Municipality sees fit, including anyone requesting such information. Accordingly, in providing such information, you shall be deemed to have consented to its use and disclosure as part of the planning process.

Dated at the Town of Petawawa this 29th day of April 2025.
