This zoning amendment application seeks to permit residential development within 300
metres of an existing quarry. The proposal is related to a consent application (PL-BDJ-2025-

to Rural – Special Exception (RU-XX) to permit the construction of a dwelling and accessory
uses, notwithstanding the prohibitions of the Zoning By-law (Section 5.34.1).

Despite some setbacks on the construction of the site protection and de-watering system, the Fish Creek Bridge structure is taking shape.
