The Town has initiated a proposed Official Plan Amendment (D09-2024-003), respecting revised complete application and pre-consultation policies applicable to any development or re-development of land within the boundaries of the Town of Innisfil. 

The amendment to the existing Town of Innisfil Official Plan proposes changes to require two mandatory pre-consultation meetings with the Town of Innisfil Planning Department prior to the formal submission of an application for amendments to the Town’s Official Plan or Zoning By-law, for a Plan of Subdivision/Condominium, or for a Site Plan Agreement and/or Amendment. The proposed amendment is a textual amendment, and the policies apply to all lands located within the Town of Innisfil.

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday May 15, 2024 to be held in the Council Chambers at 6:30pm. Please see the below link to the Notice of Town Initiated Official Plan Amendment for more information.

Public Meeting Recording:

A Plan of Subdivision, Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application were submitted in 2018 by Teromi Inc. and Alyange Holdings Inc. on lands legally described as Part of Lot 26, Concession 11 and known municipally as 3275 25 Sideroad.  A 231 unit residential subdivision consisting of 79 single-detached dwellings, 18 semi-detached dwellings, 13 townhouses and 121 apartments, a commercial block, public park and stormwater management pond is proposed.  A Public Meeting was held on September 19, 2018.  See Staff Report DSR-139-18 for more details.  

Subsequent to the comments heard at the Public Meeting, the applicant proposed a land exchange with the Town of Innisfil intended to preserve a large swath of lands in the southernmost portion of the proposed development in exchange for development rights on undeveloped Town-owned lands zoned as open space.  Staff Report DSR-144-19 has more details.  This Staff Report was considered by Council on September 25, 2019, and was deferred to a future date as more information from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) was requested about both parcels of the land exchange.  Ultimately the land exchange was rejected for reasons described in Staff Report DSR-180-21.  

The applicant is working to respond to LSRCA comments and requirements at this time, including confirming any natural heritage features and functions on the lands.  Once the LSRCA and Town Staff are satisfied with submitted responses by the applicant, Staff will prepare a Staff Report to Council with further recommendations on proposed directions for development, as described in DSR-180-21.  Notification of any future Staff Report will be provided to all who wrote/spoke or signed the guestbook at the previous Public Meeting, or otherwise requested notification, as well as those who reach out through the Town’s getinvolvedinnisfil.ca website.
