New City-Wide Comprehensive Zoning By-law (ReThink Zoning) – File: Z-9619 The Corporation of the City of London is considering a new comprehensive Zoning By-law that will affect all lands within the municipal boundary of the City of London. The purpose and effect of the proposed new comprehensive Zoning By-law is to establish the rules that restrict the use, intensity and form of land, buildings, or structures in the City of London. The new comprehensive Zoning By-law is an implementation tool that will implement the policies of the City of London’s newest Official Plan – The London Plan and repeal and replace the existing comprehensive Zoning By-law No. Z.-1. We are inviting your comments. The next opportunity for consultation will be from June 2023 to October 2023 on a proposed working draft Zoning By-law document. A statutory open house and a statutory public participation meeting will be scheduled at a later date for the purpose of giving the public an opportunity to review and ask questions about the completed proposed new comprehensive Zoning By-law and to make representation to a standing committee consisting of members of Council. Further notice of the statutory open house and statutory public participation meeting will be advertised in The Londoner, or similar newspaper, and sent to any person who has requested in writing to receive further notice.
