Public Notice: Notice of Extension of an Interim Control By-law

Purpose and Effect of the By-law

The Interim Control By-law 2022-16 was passed to temporarily pause the receipt of all planning applications for properties along the King St. Corridor within the Beamsville Urban Area, not including any minor renovations to commercial buildings or development concepts already submitted to and discussed with Town staff or applications already submitted prior to the passing of the By-law on the 7th of March, 2022 (including pre-consultation or planning application submissions to the Town), until the completion of a Heritage Conservation District Study.

The purpose of By-law 2023-10 is to extend the period of time during which the Interim Control By-law will be in effect, for a period of six months until September 6, 2023 unless otherwise extended in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O., c.P. 13, as amended. The extension is required as a result of Bill 23’s Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act which caused a shift in the scope of the Heritage Conservation District Study.

This By-law applies to all properties along the King St. Corridor in Beamsville as per the map below. A complete copy is available on the Town’s website at Lincoln.ca. For more information regarding this matter, please contact Monika Cocchiara, Manager of Planning and Development at mcocchiara@lincoln.ca or 905-563-2799 ext. 270.
