PURPOSE OF APPLICATION:  

The Town of Kingsville has received the above-noted application for lands located on the south side Pulford Street, east of Division Street North. The subject parcel is designated ‘Residential’ by the  Official Plan and is zoned ‘Residential Zone 1 Urban (R1.1)’ under the Kingsville Comprehensive  Zoning By-law.

The subject parcel is a 1,641.3 sq. m (17,667.4 sq. ft.) residential parcel with an existing dwelling and  outbuildings. The applicant is currently operating a professional office that provides staffing for the  health care industry. This is not a permitted use under the current zoning on the property. The  applicant is requesting a zoning amendment to add a professional office limited to not more than 5  employees. If considered, the zoning on the property would remain Residential while adding an owner  occupied professional office as an additional permitted use.

  • Evaluation of the proposals’ conformity with the Official Plan
  • Review of the existing and proposed zoning
  • Review of the subject property
  • Review of items of concern including traffic, parking and servicing
  • Review of comments received from public notice
  • Comment from both internal Town departments and external agencies, and
