Brampton council set to weigh Railroad Street zoning change, animal shelter bequest

Brampton City Council's July 8 meeting was scheduled to consider a zoning by-law amendment for a multi-property development on Railroad Street, Mill Street North, and Elizabeth Street North, along with new sign regulations and a $50,250 charitable bequest for the animal shelter. Minutes from that meeting and two others have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet confirmed.

The agenda listed five items for council's consideration:

• **Zoning amendment** for 16-35 Railroad St, 48-52 Mill St N, and 55-59 Elizabeth St N, proposed by Tribute Communities. The agenda did not specify the nature of the requested zoning change beyond the by-law amendment.
• **Open House Sign By-law** to regulate temporary signs.
• **Election Sign By-law amendments.**
• **Notice of motion** to adopt a Fuel Cost Adjustment Index for infrastructure contracts, modeled on the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) framework.
• **Acceptance of a charitable bequest** of approximately $50,250 from Isobel Agnes Brown to the HOPE Fund for the Brampton Animal Shelter.

Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet known how council voted on any of these items or whether any were deferred.
