By-law Number 2022-053, being a new Zoning By-law for the Countryside (the “Rural Zoning By-law”), affects all lands within the defined area of the By-law, which includes all lands in the Township with the exception of the lands within the urban areas of King City, Nobleton and Schomberg as identified in the legend for the key map below. (Note: A larger map is available for viewing under this posted notice on the Township of King website at www.king.ca/publicnotices)
The new Rural Zoning By-law for the Countryside repeals and replaces Comprehensive Zoning By-law 74-53, as amended, for the lands within the defined area. The new By-law is the result of the Rural Area Zoning By-law Review to; revise and update zoning standards; introduce broadened permissions for agricultural uses, including agriculture-related and on-farm diversified uses to strengthen the rural economy; and to ensure the protection of environmental lands, particularly within the Greenbelt Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) Areas. The new By-law conforms to and implements Township, Regional and Provincial policies, including the Township’s new “Our King” Official Plan.
Public consultation was included in each phase of the process, including six (6) public open houses, two (2) zoning workshops, three (3) technical agency meetings, four (4) presentations to Council including the statutory public meeting on December 6, 2021, one (1) orientation video on the SpeaKING public consultation page, and over twenty-five (25) individual stakeholder meetings.
Comments received from the public meeting in December 2021, and all other comments received in advance of June 2022 were summarized in a comment response matrix which was published on the SpeaKING project page dated June 16, 2022. Comments received between June 2022 and September 9, 2022, were summarized in a comment response matrix that was published on the SpeaKING project page on September 19, 2022. Both comment response matrices were appended to Report GMS-PL-2022-20 which is available on the Township’s website www.king.ca. The input received from stakeholders, external agencies and members of the public was valuable in providing a local context, and to ensure that the needs of the community are addressed. The input and feedback helped shape the new Rural Zoning By-law for the Countryside, particularly as it relates to agricultural areas and the hamlets.
DATED at the Township of King this 6th day of October, 2022.
