Notice of Public Meeting: Zoning By-law Amendment - Shipping Containers

NOTICE OF A HYBRID PUBLIC MEETING FOR APRIL 28, 2026

CONCERNING A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT

The purpose of this Amendment is to add provisions to the Zoning By-law, in parallel with the Ontario Building Code, to permit a shipping container as an accessory use if the floor area is equal to or less than 15 m2 (161.5 sq. ft.) and the height does not exceed 3m (10 ft.). Shipping containers exceeding these maximum height and floor areas will be defined as structures in the Armour Zoning By-law, subject to zoning by-law amendments.

TAKE NOTICE That the Council of the Township of Armour will hold a Public Meeting on April 28, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act to amend By-law No. 27-95 as amended, the Armour Township Zoning By-law. Virtual attendance via Zoom is also available.

PLEASE ADVISE the Clerk of your email address if you wish to receive a link to join the Zoom meeting. This will allow you the opportunity to monitor and also speak at the meeting if you wish.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Municipal Corporation of the Township of Armour to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting or make written submissions to the Municipal Corporation of the Township of Armour before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting or make written submissions to the Municipal Corporation of the Township of Armour before the By-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
