Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The Official Plan currently designates these lands as “Recreation Commercial”. Given that the current land use designation does not recognise the proposed development, the Official Plan Amendment will have the effect of changing the land use designation to “Rural” to facilitate future low density residential development.
The proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment will rezone the subject lands from the Recreational Commercial (RC) Zone to Rural Residential (RR) Zone to facilitate the development of future low density residential development.
In support of the applications, the following additional materials were submitted:
- Planning Justification Report, prepared by Skelton Brumwell & Associates, dated April 14, 2026;
- Environmental Impact Study, prepared by Skelton Brumwell & Associates, dated May 8, 2025; and,
- Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment, prepared by York North Archaeological Services Inc., dated July 21, 2024.
The Right to Appeal
If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision(s) of the Township of Selwyn and/or County of Peterborough to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Selwyn and/or County of Peterborough before the proposed Official Plan Amendment is adopted or the Zoning By-Law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Selwyn and/or County of Peterborough before the proposed By-Law Amendment is passed/Official Plan Amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
