The Municipality of Brockton is requesting a special Minister’s Zoning Order from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to help facilitate the development of over 500 housing units which will include senior housing and apartments.
The requests will also include employment lands in the East Ridge Business Park. A Minster’s Zoning Order (MZO) can help speed up the time to rezone lands under a municipality’s official plan and zoning bylaw.
The around 24 hectares of land are zoned as employment, industrial and agricultural lands in Walkerton.
The lands within the East Ridge Business Park would accommodate residential development for town homes, apartments, a residential care facility and a proposed hospice.
