Notice of Public Meeting for 86 John Street – June 24, 2025
Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Port Hope hereby considers an application to amend Zoning By-law 20/2010 under Section 34(10.4) of the Planning Act, submitted by Clark Consulting Services on behalf of the owner Asunder Trade & Capital for lands municipally known as 86 John Street within the Urban Area of the Municipality of Port Hope (see Subject Lands Map) to be a Complete Application. Furthermore, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Port Hope will hold a Public Meeting on June 24, 2025 at 5:00 pm, in person at the Town Hall, to consider the proposed application (File # ZB02-2025). This meeting is open to the public and will also be live-streamed on our YouTube Channel for those who do not wish to provide comments.
The subject lands are designated ‘Central Commercial’ in the Municipality of Port Hope Official Plan and zoned Downtown Commercial ‘COM3’ within the Municipal Zoning By-law 20/2010, as otherwise amended.
The rezoning has been requested to construct one (1) five-storey residential building containing a total of eleven (11) apartment dwelling units on the westerly portion of the subject lands. The existing commercial uses (hotel and restaurant) are proposed to be maintained. The proposed rezoning would also facilitate a future severance (lot creation) to separate the proposed residential use from the existing commercial uses.
The purpose of the rezoning application is to rezone the subject lands from ‘COM3’ Zone to Site Specific Downtown Commercial ‘COM3(157)’ Zone to facilitate the construction of the proposed residential development and the considered future severance.
