Community Planning Open House - As of Right OFDUs - April 30, 2025

Southgate Planning Department - Open House
On Farm Diversified Uses - April 30, 2025

The Southgate Planning Department is seeking public feedback on proposed changes to the Southgate Zoning By-law related to certain On Farm Diversified Uses (accessory uses to Agricultural Operations). These proposed changes would allow a small number of OFDUs to proceed without requiring a Zoning By-law Amendment if all rules are met.

The open house will outline the proposed rule changes and the limited size of OFDU's that would be permitted to proceed if these rules are adopted. In all other cases, a rezoning would still be required. The OFDU would still need to meet all requirements of the Building Code.

Planning Staff will be present to explain the proposed rule changes and seek your feedback.
A further public meeting with Council will occur - but has yet to be scheduled.

Please join us at the following times:
April 30, 2025 1:00pm to 3:30pm at the Holstein Council Chambers; or 
April 30, 2025 5:30 to 7:30pm at the Frank MacIntrye Building.

Comments will be accepted until May 2, 2025 and can be emailed to planning@southgate.ca.
