Transport Terminal Land Use Study
City of Windsor Planning Division
On June 3, 2019, Council approved Interim Control By-law 78-2019 and directed staff to study the issues surrounding Transport Terminals. CR291/2019 states “that Council authorize the City Planner to undertake a study and review of Zoning Bylaws 85-18 and 8600 with respect to land use policies related to a Transport Terminal with the City of Windsor.”
The main purposes of doing the study is to ensure that Transport Terminal is appropriately permitted or prohibited, that the provisions for a Transport Terminal are consistent with the policy direction of the Official Plan, and that a Transport Terminal is not detrimental to surrounding existing and potential land uses. It is acknowledged that this is not just a regulatory problem and that the study should not be limited to review of the existing zoning by-laws.
The Transport Terminal Land Use Study below fulfills the request of Council in CR291/2019 and is being tabled at the November 16 meeting of the Development & Heritage Standing Committee (DHSC) to give DHSC members and the public time to review the study. The study contains Council Resolution CR291/2019 as Appendix A and Interim Control By-law 78-2019 as Appendix B. Also below is a link to the brief staff report accompanying the study.
