The Official PlanThe Official Plan is the backbone of Land Use Planning. For all the information pertaining to the New Zoning By-law process, check out the New New Zoning By-law Page by clicking here.
This page will provide you with information regarding the status of the Official Plan in the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley.
On this Page:
The Official is a key planning instrument that outlines the long term goals and objectives of the municipality in relation to land use planning. It is a statement about where and how development should take place now and in the future. It also defines the planning policies and land use designations such as Agriculture, Rural, Settlement Areas, Industrial/Business, Natural Heritage - Provincially Signficant Wetlands etc., currently in effect.
The Plan includes text and maps which show how lands are designated or classified. To determine the designations of your property please contact the Planning & Development Department.
An Official Plan is adopted by Council and approved by the Province (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing). Official Plans are to be updated every five (5) years.
Council, Township Committees and staff must have regard for the Official Plan when reviewing any planning application/proposal such as zoning by-law amendments, severances, minor variances, plans of subdivision, site plans, etc. An application must meet the Official Plan policies or it will not be approved. If an application does not conform to the Official Plan an Official Plan Amendment could be pursued. The Official Plan Amendment process is outlined in the Planning Act, R.S.O. and related regulations. For more information go to www.mah.gov.on.ca .
The following files make up the Township's Official Plan, which came into effect on February 1, 2006.

The new Official Plan for the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley was verbally approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on February 1, 2006, save and except for two (2) matters pending final resolution: (1) the designated SETTLEMENT AREA abutting the north side of Kilkenny Rd. in Pt.Lot 20, Concession 4, which as of February 1, 2006 is proposed to be designated RURAL and: (2) Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Modification #24. A written ORDER of the OMB related to these two matters has been obtained.
Given the approval to the new Official Plan as detailed above, work on the new zoning by-law (which will implement the new Plan) has begun. The new Zoning By-law will specify detailed rules for various land use zones, such as permitted uses, minimum lot areas/frontages, minimum yard setbacks, height maximums, etc. and will also include “definitions” and other “general provisions” such as home occupation provisions, parking requirements for various types of uses, etc..
