Notice of Public Meeting on Zoning By-law Amendment Application PLZBA20260009
to be held by the Council of the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac

Public Meeting Details
Date: March 03, 2026
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: 4432 George Street, Sydenham and on Zoom

Application Details
Property Address: Leveque Road
Applicant: Brad Hornbeck

Purpose and Effect of the Proposed By-law
The by-law would place a holding symbol on the Rural zone on the retained lands from consent applications PL-BDJ-2024-0078 to PL-BDJ-2024-0080. The holding symbol would require a satisfactory hydrogeological study before a building permit could be issued for any form of housing. This is necessary because the owner was unable to find sufficient water on the lot for a residential use.

Starting in 2026, South Frontenac’s Day Camp program will implement a four-week maximum attendance limit per camper per summer.
