Location:

There are twelve (12) sites that are the subject of proposed Zoning By-law Amendments, illustrated on the map below and numbered A1 to A12 (the “Subject Lands”). The Subject Lands are either within the existing Town of Caledon settlement area or in the settlement area boundary expansion in the Council adopted Future Caledon Official Plan.

PROPOSED CHANGES:

The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments is to rezone the Subject Lands into appropriate residential mixed use zone categories to facilitate the future development of residential lots, residential mixed-use buildings and commercial uses together with the protection of environmental policy areas. While each of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments has its own specific range of zone categories, in general terms the purpose and intent of the amendments is to re-zone the Subject Lands from the existing uses, which includes Agricultural, Small Agricultural Holdings, Environmental Policy Area 2, Rural Residential, Institutional, Bolton Highway Commercial and General Commercial to appropriate zone categories to facilitate future development, including Mixed Density Residential, Environmental Policy Area 1, Urban Corridor, Neighbourhood Centre, Multiple Residential, and General Commercial.

*The illustration is a conceptual plan for information purposes and it is subject to change.
The proposed Zoning By-laws are currently under review by the Town of Caledon and its consultants.
