Highway 11 Corridor Study

The Township of King has completed a Study focusing on the Highway 11 Corridor, a unique area located in the northeast part of the Township. The Corridor has historically functioned as a ‘highway commercial area’ consisting of land uses that can be characterized as commercial and tourism oriented. The Corridor is recognized as contributing to a vibrant rural economy and is located at juncture of key connections to neighbouring municipalities therefore having strategic locational significance as a gateway to the Township. The Study was completed in 3 phases to achieve the following objectives:

Main Objectives:

• Delineate the Study Area and geographic extent of the implementing land use planning framework;
• Develop an implementing land use planning framework that navigates applicable provincial plans and policy, while advancing Township and landowner interest in the desirable redevelopment of the Corridor that is representative of its strategic location and regional function; and
• Implement a process that focuses on consultation with the community, landowners, key stakeholders, agencies, and Council.

Project Phases:

• Phase 1: Draft Policy Discussion Paper and Study Area Delineation
• Phase 2: Public Consultation Opportunities
• Phase 3: Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments
