ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT (Z02-2026)
SIOUX LOOKOUT AREA ABORIGINAL MANAGEMENT BOARD
96-98 THIRD STREET
THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF SIOUX LOOKOUT
TAKE NOTICE THAT Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications have been submitted by the Sioux Lookout Area Aboriginal Management Board (SLAAMB) under Sections 17, 22 and 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter p. 13, as amended. The applications have been submitted for the subject property locally known as 96-98 Third Street in Hudson which is currently owned by the Municipality of Sioux Lookout. The applicants are in the process of purchasing the subject property. The location of the subject property is included in this Notice.
The subject property is designated Rural Residential in the Hudson Settlement Area in the Municipal Official Plan; and is located in the Hudson Residential (HR) Zone in the Municipal Zoning By-Law.
The applicant is proposing a duplex dwelling which has a separate dwelling unit on each floor. The ground floor area of the duplex is approximately 119 square metres and therefore each dwelling unit would be that size.
The PURPOSE and EFFECT of the Official Plan Amendment application (OP01-2026) is to amend the Official Plan and re-designating the subject property from the Rural Residential designation to a site-specific designation to permit the proposed duplex dwelling. The permitted uses for the Rural Residential designation in the Hudson Settlement Area only permit single detached dwellings in Section 4.10.1 of the Official Plan. As a result, an amendment is required to accommodate the duplex dwelling.
The PURPOSE and EFFECT of the Zoning By-law Amendment application (Z02-2026) is to rezone the subject property from the Hudson Residential (HR) Zone to a site-specific Hudson Residential Exception (HR-XX) Zone to permit the proposed duplex dwelling. A duplex is not included as a permitted use in the HR Zone in Section 5.7.1. A Zoning By-Law Amendment is required to permit the proposed duplex dwelling.
The Municipality of Sioux Lookout will consider the applications at the Public Meeting on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Municipal Office.
If you wish to provide comments on the application, please do so in writing to the Planning Coordinator in advance of the Public Meeting.
