NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING RE: PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the City of Timmins will hold a public meeting on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City of Timmins, 220 Algonquin Boulevard East, Timmins, Ontario, to gather public input regarding a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O 1990, c. P. 13, as amended.
Applicant: Marissa Badilla-Bitagon (MB Estates Corporation)
Location: Plan M-33-S, Lot 160, Parcel 269 WAT
(285 Pine Street South)
THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone the subject lands currently zoned General Commercial (EA-CG) to Residential Third Density (NA-R3) SP6.202 to permit all uses in the Residential Third Density (NA-R3) zone. The intent of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is to facilitate the conversion of the main-floor commercial space within the two-storey building to a residential use, resulting in a total of three residential units. There is an existing second floor residential dwelling unit and an existing residential basement unit. To permit the existing basement residential unit, the applicant received Committee of Adjustment approval via Decision No. 24-50 on May 13, 2024, to reduce the required number of parking spaces from one (1) to zero (0).
The applicant is also seeking relief from the City of Timmins Zoning By-law 2011-7100 with regards to special provisions for the following:
- reduce the minimum lot frontage for three residential units in the NA-R3 zone from 18.2 metres to 9.10 metres;
- reduce the minimum lot area from 285 square metres to 278.70 square metres;
- reduce the front yard setback from 7.5 metres to 0 metres;
- reduce the north interior side yard setback from 1.8 metres to 1.06 metres;
- reduce the south interior side yard setback from 3.0 metres to 2.00 metres; and
- reduce the required number of parking spaces from two (2) to zero (0).
ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.
If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of Council of the City of Timmins to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law 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 submissions to the City of Timmins before the 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.
Please note that the rights of third parties to appeal Zoning By-law Amendment decisions to the Ontario Land Tribunal have been restricted under the Planning Act.
If you wish to be notified of the decision of the City of Timmins on the proposed zoning by-law amendment, you must make a written request to Steph Palmateer, City Clerk, City of Timmins, 220 Algonquin Boulevard East, Timmins, Ontario, P4N 1B3.
