ActivitiesPUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
Request to Rezone a Portion of Properties on Sawler Lake to Lakeside Zone
What: Public Information Meeting to provide information and solicit comments on a proposed rezoning of properties within the District of Chester that border Sawler Lake to the Lakeside Zone
When: Wednesday, May 10th, 2023 beginning at 7:00pm
Where: Hubbards Area Lion's Club, 43 Lions Club Road, Fox Point
What is it: Jeffery and Andrew Burchell have submitted an application asking Council to consider rezoning properties within the District of Chester that border Sawler Lake to the Lakeside Zone (see map). If approved, the Lakeside Zone would be applied beginning at the lake and moving inland to a distance that will be determined by Council during the rezoning process.
How can I have my say? The meeting is designed to provide information on the request for rezoning and allow time for comments, questions, and ideas to be shared. You may also contact Planning staff directly to ask questions or let us know your thoughts on the proposal.
Staff have received direction to prepare a report with details and analysis. The report will be considered by the Municipal Planning Advisory Committee, who will provide a recommendation to Council to approve or reject the rezoning. The report and recommendation will then be considered by Council before making a final decision, which will follow a duly scheduled Public Hearing.
Notices with the date, time and location of future meetings will be posted in a local newspaper, on our website, on Municipal social media channels and at the Municipal Office. Council Meetings are open to members of the public and are also streamed live on YouTube (https://youtube.com/user/modcvideo).
