The Municipality of West Nipissing invites all interested persons to attend a Public Open House on the review and update of the Zoning By-law. The Zoning By-law applies to all lands in the Municipality and regulates land use, building location, and development standards such as height, setbacks, permitted uses, and parking. The update will align the By-law with current provincial policies and the proposed Official Plan, while reflecting the community’s evolving needs and priorities.
Public input is an important part of this process. This public information session provides an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to review the proposed changes, ask questions, and share feedback.
