          [3.2 Report from J.L Richards]
A ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT 26 ONTARIO AVENUE. 
          OKAY. MS.. BRAY, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE. 
          THANK YOU YOUR WORSHIP SO I CAN GO OVER THE REPORT FROM THE PLANNER. 
          SO THE APPLICANT HAS INITIATED A ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT TO PERMIT THE USE OF THE EXISTING
STRUCTURE ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP. 
          THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS AN AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 606 SQUARE METERS AND A FRONTAGE OF
APPROXIMATELY 21 METERS ON ONTARIO AVENUE. 
          THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ZONED CENTRAL COMMERCIAL SPECIAL EXCEPTION 2 C1-2 IN THE CITY OF
ELLIOT LAKE ZONING BYLAW NUMBER 1836 SPECIAL EXCEPTION 2 PERMITS THE USE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR A CRAFTS WORKSHOP. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE USES OTHERWISE PERMITTED IN THE CENTRAL COMMERCIAL ZONE, THE C-1 ZONE
PERMITS THE USE OF LAND FOR VARIOUS USES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMMERCIAL USES, GOVERNMENT OFFICES, PERSONAL SERVICE SHOPS AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS. 
          HOWEVER, INSTITUTIONAL USES SUCH AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP ARE NOT PERMITTED AS A RIGHT ON THE
SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THEREFORE A ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT IS REQUIRED TO ALLOW FOR THIS USE IN THE C1 ZONE. 
          THE PROPOSED ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND POLICIES OF THE
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT THE GROWTH PLAN FOR NORTHERN ONTARIO AND THE CITY OF ELLIOT LAKE'S OFFICIAL PLAN. AND AS SUCH, THE AMENDMENT IS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL. 
          THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? SEEING NONE. OK. CORRESPONDENCE COMMENTS RECEIVED. 
          UP TO THIS POINT, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC IN WRITTEN FORM. 
          DO ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK REGARDING THE PROPOSED BYLAW AMENDMENT? IF YOU WISH TO GET TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR CASE, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO SO. 
          SEEING NONE. YES. 
          [00:05:05]
I HAVE TO ASK A SECOND TIME. 
          ONCE AGAIN, ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO GET UP AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR MAKE ANY
COMMENTS. 
          NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO DO SO. 
          IS THIS THE GENTLEMAN FROM UTAH? CAN THE GENTLEMAN ON THE SCREEN HEAR ME? NO. OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. SO THE PUBLIC MEETING PROCESS IS NOW COMPLETED AND COUNCIL WILL GIVE CAREFUL
CONSIDERATION TO THE COMMENTS OR LACK THEREOF ON THE PROPOSED BYLAW AMENDMENT. 
          AND IF APPROVED, THE BYLAW WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO A FUTURE MEETING OF COUNCIL FOR
CONSIDERATION AND PASSING, WHICH WILL BE DURING THIS EVENING'S REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING. 
          I BELIEVE IT'S 7.3 IS THE REPORT AND 16.1 WOULD BE THE BYLAW. 
          WITH THAT, THE PUBLIC MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED. 
          THANK YOU.
