Norfolk County is inviting residents to share their thoughts on proposed updates to its Comprehensive Zoning By-law. The municipality is considering a series of minor “housekeeping” amendments to By-law 1-Z-2014, aimed at improving clarity and ensuring the document reflects current standards and legislation.
Officials say the proposed changes focus on aligning the by-law with updated provincial requirements, introducing new definitions, and correcting outdated terminology and references. While the updates are considered minor, they play an important role in keeping planning policies accurate and effective for future development.
To gather feedback, Norfolk County is hosting an open house on Wednesday, April 22 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Talbot Gardens in Simcoe. Residents and interested parties will have the opportunity to learn more about the proposed amendments and speak directly with staff.
For those unable to attend in person, the County is also accepting feedback online through its Engage Norfolk platform. Officials say public input will help shape the final version of the updates before they are brought forward for approval.
