King Township Rural Zoning By-law King Review
Virtual Public Open House
King Township is in the final stages of undertaking a review of its zoning for the rural areas of the Township, which are currently regulated by the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 74-53, as amended and the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning By-law 2005-23 (applying to lands within the Oak Ridges Moraine Area). A Final Draft Zoning By-law for the Countryside has now been prepared. The rural area encompasses the Countryside and Hamlet designations, as well as the Nobleton Village Reserve Lands (shown in yellow, on the map, right). The rural area excludes the Villages of Nobleton, King City and Schomberg.
All interested persons are invited to join a Virtual Public Open House to learn about the revisions that have been made to the Zoning By-law for the Countryside following public and stakeholder consultation completed in Summer 2021, and to ask questions and provide your feedback on the proposed revisions.
What is a Zoning By-law?
A Zoning By-law is prepared under the requirements of Section 34 of the Planning Act. The Zoning By-law regulates the types of land uses and the character, height, location, size and massing of buildings for all lands in the community.
Why prepare a new Rural Zoning By-law for King Township?
The review of zoning for the rural area follows updates to zoning in the Township’s urban areas (the Villages), through the Nobleton Urban Area Zoning By-law 2016-71 and the King City and Schomberg Urban Area Zoning By-law 2017-66, respectively.
There is a need to review and update the Zoning By-law 74-53 and 2005-23 primarily to ensure that the zoning conforms to local, Regional, and Provincial policy, and addresses the Township’s new Official Plan. We are seeking the community’s input and feedback on the proposed Draft Zoning By-law for the Countryside.
