2019 Planning Meeting Minutes June 20, 2019
Official Plan Amendment
The existing Elgincentives Community Improvement Plan for the Municipality of Bayham
was adopted in 2015 and provides a framework for encouraging the rehabilitation and
improvement of private lands and buildings in key locations throughout the municipality.
The Community Improvement Plan provides policies that enable Council to offer financial
incentives to private property owners, which currently apply to commercial, mixed-use,
and tourism-related land uses. These incentives are intended to encourage property
owners to improve the appearance of their lands and buildings, which ultimately benefit
residents and visitors within the Municipality of Bayham.
The effect of the amendment will be to enable Council to offer financial incentives to
private property owners in the entire municipality for the improvement of private
employment, industrial and brownfields lands.
