Notice of Intention to Pass Amending By-Law to Remove A Holding Provision: Z-10/26

Applicant: Mainline Planning Services Inc.

File: Z-10/26

Location: Blocks 145 and 146 on Plan 20M-1282 and Blocks 67 and 68 on Plan 20M-1290, Part of Lot 6 and 7, Concession 1, (NS) Trafalgar, Town of Milton

Take notice that pursuant to Sections 34 and 36 of the Planning Act , the Corporation of the Town of Milton has received a Zoning By-law Amendment application requesting the removal of a Holding (H) symbol. An “H” holding symbol is a mechanism to ensure that certain conditions are met prior to the development of the lands proceeding in accordance with the approved Zoning. If the conditions are met, the Town is required to remove the holding symbol upon application by the landowner, by passing a By-law under Section 36 of the Planning Act .

Council intends to pass an amending by-law to Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, at its regular meeting scheduled for Sept. 14, 2026, at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held both in person in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Offices, 150 Mary Street, Milton and using electronic video conference technology.

Purpose and effect

“H35” shall not be removed until:

The subject lots/blocks have been consolidated with lots/blocks on adjacent plan(s) of subdivision and each of the resulting consolidated parcels is in compliance with the minimum lot frontage, depth and area (where applicable) requirements of the applicable zoning by-law.

The effect of this application is to remove the Holding Provision and permit development on the noted Blocks to proceed.

That is normal, and usually means Council never had to vote. Most development applications are decided by staff under delegated authority, and since the Province's More Homes Built Faster Act a plan of subdivision no longer requires a statutory public meeting. Council votes mainly on Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments. If this application is still in technical review, any decision is simply still ahead of it.
