TAKE NOTICE THAT the Municipality of Sioux Lookout has received applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment. These applications are being considered under the requirements of Sections 17, 22, and 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter p. 13, as amended, by Nate Hochstetler, on behalf of the Sioux Lookout Food Bank for the subject lands located at 5 and 7 Carlbom Drive. The subject lands are currently owned by The Corporation of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout and the Sioux Lookout Food Bank is planning to purchase the subject lands.  The subject lands are legally described as LOTS 1 AND 2, PLAN 23M-695, MUNICIPALITY OF SIOUX LOOKOUT. The subject lands are shown on the Key Map included in this Notice. 

The PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the Official Plan Amendment Application (OP01-2024) is to permit a food bank use on the subject lands.  A food bank use is not permitted within the Residential designation in the Official Plan. 

The PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the Zoning By-law Amendment Application (Z04-2024) is to rezone the subject lands from the Resident Type 2 (R2) Zone to a site-specific zone to permit the proposed food bank use.  A food bank use is not permitted in the R2 Zone. 

A Deeming By-law is also required to deem the lots not to be in a Plan of Subdivision, for the purpose of merging the two properties together.
