NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE AND PUBLIC MEETING
CONCERNING A PROPOSED
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW FOR THE TOWN OF SOUTH BRUCE PENINSULA
PURSUANT TO THE PLANNING ACT, 1990

All residents of the Town of South Bruce Peninsula are invited to attend an OPEN HOUSE, Tuesday, September 15th,
2009 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at the Ross Whicher Centre, 578 Brown St. Wiarton. The purpose of the Open House
is to provide residents with an opportunity to review the proposed Comprehensive Zoning By-law for the Town of South
Bruce Peninsula.

Take further notice that the Council of the Town of South Bruce Peninsula will hold a PUBLIC MEETING on Thursday,
September 24th, 2009 at 5:00 p.m., at the Town of South Bruce Peninsula Council Chambers, 315 George St, Wiarton to
consider public comments on the proposed Comprehensive Zoning By-law for the Town.

Purpose and Effect of the proposed Comprehensive Zoning By-law ­ The proposed Comprehensive Zoning By-law
would provide detailed land use regulations in order to facilitate decision making by Municipal Council, public agencies
and private interests with regard to the use and development of land within the Municipality. Specifically, the
Comprehensive Zoning By-law deals with (a) the use that may be made of a parcel of land, (b) the size of parcels of land,
(c) required setbacks and coverage of parcels of land by structures, and (d) other matters including hazard/environmental
protection zones and agricultural land. The Comprehensive Zoning By-law will replace the existing Amabel, Albemarle,
Wiarton and Hepworth Zoning By-laws.

The Comprehensive Zoning By-law would implement the policies of the County of Bruce Official Plan, the Town of South
Bruce Peninsula Official Plan and the Province of Ontario. The Comprehensive Zoning By-law would affect all lands
within the Town of South Bruce Peninsula.

Any person may attend the public meeting and/or make oral or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition
to the proposed Comprehensive Zoning By-law. If a person or public body that files a notice of appeal of a decision of the
Town of South Bruce Peninsula in respect to the proposed Comprehensive Zoning By-law does not make oral
submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Town of South Bruce Peninsula before the proposed
Comprehensive Zoning By-law is passed, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal.
