This public meeting is required under the planning act to afford any person an opportunity to make representation with respect to a proposed official plan amendment and zoning bylaw amendment for lands known as four Morrison Drive in 358 Elm Street.

Further, if a person or public body does not make oral submission at the public meeting or make written submission to the corporation of the city of St. Thomas before the amendments are passed, 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 impigion of the opinion of the tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Those wanting to be notified of council's decision on the application should email customer service@saint thomas.ca indicating which public meeting they wish to be notified on and providing their name and address.
