Huron East Zoning By-Law Zone Map Modernization
The Municipality of Huron East and the Huron County Planning and Development Department are undertaking a review and update to the Zone Maps of the Huron East Zoning By-Law.
The Zone Maps are used to determine the specific zoning that applies to each property and is important in informing landowners and staff which Zoning provisions apply to a property.
Huron East Council initiated the Zone Map Review process on September 3, 2024. This review is proposed to modernize the Zone Maps for the Huron East Zoning By-law. There has been no major update to the maps since 2006, when the consolidated Zoning By-law for Huron East was first passed.
Some of the proposed changes include:
Re-formatting to have less zone maps overall (reduce from 95 to 44 maps);
- Colour maps to aid interpretation (the current maps are black/white);
- Reformatting to enhance accessibility and overall user-friendliness;
- Improved accuracy based on current aerial photography;
- Minor text changes that relate directly to the maps (for example, remove special zones that no longer apply)
