INFORMATION SESSION: Augusta Land Use Strategy (West of Prescott)
Augusta Township will be holding an Information Session on Monday, September 11, 2023 between 4-5 p.m. at the Municipal Office at 3560 County Road 26, Maynard.
A Land Use Strategy has been prepared by Fotenn Consulting for the Township of Augusta, applicable to lands immediately west of the Town of Prescott. An Official Plan Amendment to the Township of Augusta Official Plan is proposed to allow a Phase I redesignation of a 4.85 ha (12 ac.) area to commercial/light industrial and a 1 ha (2.47 ac.) area to a higher density settlement area, serviced by water and wastewater services. Following the Official Plan amendment, Zoning By-Law amendments would be required to implement specific development standards for these new designations. The balance of the focus area in the Augusta Land Use Strategy (West of Prescott), Phase II, would be considered at a later date.
This Information Session is being held in advance of a Public Meeting to provide information to the public on the Land Use Strategy and proposed Phase I land areas. The consultants will be in attendance to answer questions during this drop-in Information Session and they will also make a presentation to Augusta’s Council at 6 p.m. this same day.
All residents are welcome to attend.
