NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING 
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT Z01-2023 - 2 STURGEON RIVER ROAD

TAKE NOTICE THAT an application for Zoning By-law Amendment has been submitted under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter p. 13, as amended, by Sioux Lookout First Nation Health Authority (SLFNHA) for the subject property known locally as 2 Sturgeon River Road. The subject property is described legally as PLAN M126 LOTS 29 TO 40 PT LOTS 28 & 41 TO 43 PT FIRST AVE & LANE RP 23R10767 PARTS 1 TO 6 PCL 43097 DKF. The subject property is shown on the key map below.

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject property to permit a hostel. The proposed hostel is to be used primarily to house visitors attending medical appointments on a temporary basis and to provide specific programming needs. The subject lands are zoned Highway Commercial (CH) and currently contain a hotel. A site-specific exemption to the CH Zone is sought to permit a hostel as an additional permitted use.  

The Municipality of Sioux Lookout will hold a Statutory Public Meeting on Wednesday, April 19th, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Municipal Office to consider this application.

If you wish to provide comments on the application, please do so in writing to the Planning Coordinator in advance of the Public Meeting.  You may also provide verbal comments by calling 807-737-2700 ext. 2234 and the comments will be transcribed and presented at the Public Meeting.  Further, if you wish to participate or speak at the Public Meeting, please contact the Planning Coordinator.  Anyone wishing to provide comments or speak at the meeting must submit their request by phone or email by noon on April 19th in order to attend.

ANY PERSON may attend the Public Meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout in respect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, you must make a written request to the Planning Coordinator of the Municipality (address below).

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submission at a Public Meeting or make written submissions to the Municipality of Sioux Lookout before the Zoning By-law Amendment is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting, or make written submission to the Municipality of Sioux Lookout before the Zoning By-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
