Council weighs $173,760 fine write-off, housing and industrial zoning changes

Greater Sudbury city council’s June 23 agenda included a proposal to write off $173,760 in uncollectible Provincial Offences Act fines, along with zoning changes that would enable a new heavy industrial site in Coniston and a 12-unit apartment building on Fabbro Street. The planning committee, meanwhile, held public hearings on a Chelmsford lot split and a policy that would allow shared housing along major roads.

Planning Committee held hearings on shared housing, Chelmsford lot

Planning Committee met June 22 and held public hearings on two land-use items. The first seeks to create a new residential lot from agricultural land at 21 Seguin Street in Chelmsford. The second is a citywide policy review that would permit shared housing along arterial roads in R3, R4, C2, C3, and C4 zones.

Staff also reviewed a report updating how traffic impact assessments are screened for industrial and employment lands. The committee went into a closed session to discuss land acquisitions for Durham, Evergreen, and St. Charles streets, plus Municipal Road 55 in Naughton.

City Council faced fine write-off, zoning requests

At its regular June 23 meeting, council was asked to write off $173,760 in uncollectible Provincial Offences Act fines through a by-law. The agenda also included:

• A zoning change from Open Space to Heavy Industrial at 84 Smelter Road, Coniston.
• A zoning amendment to permit a 12-unit multiple dwelling at 445 Fabbro Street, Sudbury.
• An update on the 2026 Community Safety and Well-being Plan.
• User fee changes for Camp Sudaca and the Neighbourhood Playground programs.

Earlier the same day, a special city council meeting conducted the Sudbury Airport Community Development Corporation annual general meeting. Council first passed a resolution to temporarily suspend rules of procedure to handle the airport matters.
