This amendment will also permit a residence to be built on an existing lot (lot of record) where it complies with MDS I formulae — "Type A" land use. This Official Plan Amendment has been initiated by the Municipality of South Huron. A related zoning by-law amendment is being circulated concurrently with this Official Plan Amendment. Official Plan Amendment #6 applies to all land designated Agriculture in the Municipality of South Huron Official Plan.
