PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS

TOWN OF HEART’S CONTENT
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS

The Heart’s Content Development Regulations contain two references to the date that the Town’s Heritage Regulations were adopted and came into effect. When Council recently updated the Heritage Regulations, these references became invalid and created a disconnect between the two legal documents.

To correct this inconsistency, the Town Council proposes to amend its Development Regulations to remove any reference to the date that the Heritage Regulations were adopted, thereby ensuring that one set of regulations does not invalidate the other.

The first change will be in the definition of Heritage Regulations in Part 2 of the Development Regulations. It will remove the existing reference to the adoption date. Similarly, the second change will remove the reference to the adoption date in the introductory paragraph to Part 9.5 – Heritage District Zone.

The proposed amendment is available for viewing at the Town Office during regular office hours or will be emailed on request.
