The Town has initiated minor amendments to the Town’s Zoning and Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) By-laws to correct contradictory definitions.
In 2022 the Town of Innisfil adopted By-Law No.’s 046-22 and 047-22 under Section 34(18) of the Planning Act. These amendments added a new ‘Short-Term Accommodation’ definition and strengthened the Town’s existing by-laws to re-affirm that operators of short-term accommodation and bed and breakfasts must reside at the property. To maintain the Town’s original intent, a minor correction is required to address contradictions in the definitions of “Short Term Accommodation” and “Bed and Breakfast”.
This amendment applies to all properties in the Town of Innisfil, except for the Friday Harbour resort.
A Public Meeting has been scheduled.
Have your say on September 18, 2024 at 6 p.m.
