Tillsonburg council approves 16-unit apartment zoning, housing committee sees empty agenda

Town council approved a zoning change and official plan amendment for a 16-unit apartment addition in the Entrepreneurial District at its June 22 meeting, the most significant land-use decision of the recent cycle. The approval, which came despite resident concerns about traffic, privacy and building height, cleared the way for a project by C&A Haight Holdings.

Housing and development

Council unanimously approved the zone change for the apartment building, alongside several other development-related decisions.

A separate zone change to allow a residential unit at Community Living Tillsonburg’s property at 51 Brock Street East also passed unanimously.

At 519 Broadway, council approved-in-part a zone change for 1917043 Ontario Inc. that adds studio, office, monument sales and drugstore uses to the site. The vote was unanimous.

A minor variance for Bueckert reducing lot frontage to 10.05 metres per unit received unanimous support. Council also backed consent applications for Perovich Holdings (file B26-19-7) and two consent applications for Michael Perovich (files B26-15-7 and B26-16-7), each by unanimous vote.

Other council actions

A new pickleball court allocation policy was adopted unanimously. The policy caps seasonal contract usage at three courts, leaving the remaining courts open for general community use.

Council also approved a new Freedom of Information Request Policy and repealed the old by-law, again on a unanimous vote.
