Public Open House
The purpose of the Public Open House is to provide information to the public regarding the findings and recommendations of the Boarding House Study. The study recommends that Leamington establish policies, regulations and licencing to allow boarding houses in a manner that is safe, appropriately serviced and in keeping with the character of existing neighborhoods. As directed by Council at the regular meeting of August 13, 2018, draft amendments to the Official Plan (2008) and Zoning By-law 890-09, as amended have been prepared and are available for public review. The purpose and effect of the Official Plan Amendment (OPA No. 5) is to establish a planning policy framework together with detailed zoning regulations to permit small and large boarding houses in both the settlement and agricultural areas of the Municipality. The proposed amendments are municipal wide and therefore no key map is provided.
Residents are encouraged to attend the open house at their convenience and to offer input into the consideration of the draft policies, regulations and the provisions that may be included within a boarding house licencing by-law regulating the maintenance and operation of a boarding house. There will be no formal presentation at the open house however, it is an opportunity to obtain copies of the proposed amendments, as well as discuss them directly with municipal staff. A survey regarding the boarding house licencing by-law may be found on the municipal website at www.leamington.ca/boardinghouses.
