By-law 2019-0048 approves Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 38 and By-law 2019- 0049 amends Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2010-0050, in order to implement the final recommendations for revised Accessory Dwelling Units policies in Halton Hills. The amendments apply to the Urban and Agricultural/Rural Areas of Halton Hills. Municipal By-laws passed to implement Planning Act policies on second units are not subject to public appeal, in accordance with Sections 17(24.1) and 34(19.1) of the Planning Act. These By-laws are only subject to appeal by the Minister for 20 days after notice is given. OPA No. 38 was exempted from approval by the Region of Halton on September 4, 2019. The decision of Council is final if a notice of appeal is not received on or before the last day for filing a notice of appeal. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE BY-LAWS: The purpose and effect of the amendments is to implement the final recommendations of the Town-initiated review of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) policies by: • Expanding existing permissions for ADUs to bring the Halton Hills Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law into conformity with policies for second units under Section 16(3) of the Planning Act, including permitting units wherever single, semi-detached, and townhomes are permitted; • Introducing ADUs as a use in the Agricultural/Rural Area through the creation of development criteria in the Halton Hills Official Plan; and, • Increasing the maximum size of units in order to remove barriers to creating units in areas where residential uses are permitted. All submissions received regarding Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 38 and Zoning By-law 2019-0049 were considered as part of the Town's review process, and as a result some minor changes were made to OPA 38, including consideration of servicing requirements in the Agricultural/Rural Area. More information on Accessory Dwelling Units is available on the Town's Let's Talk Halton Hills website at: letstalkhaltonhills.ca/accessory-dwelling-units or at the Planning and Sustainability Department at the Halton Hills Town Hall. By-laws 2019-0048 and 2019-0049 are available for inspection at the Planning and Sustainability Department at the Halton Hills Town Hall, during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as well as on the Town's website.
