B. Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA-21/25 Municipality of Bayham
THE PURPOSE of this Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit an increased Maximum Building
Height of eight metres (8.0m) on all lands zoned Village Residential 1 (R1) zone and Village
Residential 2 (R2) zone by amending Sections 10.5 and 11.6 of Municipality of Bayham's
Zoning By-law to permit a Maximum Building Height of eight metres (8.0m) whereas a Maximum
Building Height of seven metres (7.0m) is currently permitted.
The subject properties are all lands zoned Village Residential 1 (R1) zone and Village
Residential 2 (R2) zone.
THE EFFECT of this Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit an increased Maximum Building Height
of eight metres (8.0m) on all lands zoned Village Residential 1 (R1) zone and Village Residential 2
(R2) zone.
13. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Susanne Schlotzhauer, resident, spoke in opposition of the current proposed amendment
noting that the residential building height should be raised to 10.5 meters to be similar to other
Ontario municipalities of similar size. Schlotzhauer does not believe that the reasoning for 8
meters has proper planning justification and the municipality should be mitigating fire
suppression issues separately.

No correspondence.
