Notice of Passing - Zoning By-law Amendment

TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Corporation of the City of Dryden passed By-law 2026-45 to amend Zoning By-law 2025-10, as amended, on the 13th day of July, 2026, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, c.P.13 as amended. 

Explanatory Note of the By-law:

By-law 2026-45 amends Zoning By-law 2025-10 and applies to those lands known municipally as 185 Grand Trunk Avenue, legally described as PLAN M157 LOTS 707 TO 709 & 899 PCL 8816 and is to permit a site-specific Animal Care Establishment use to allow for pet boarding within a proposed new building on the property at 185 Grand Trunk Avenue. Currently, the Highway Commercial (CH) zone permits only Animal Hospital use (veterinary clinic), however, this use does not include pet boarding.

The applicant is proposing to construct a new two-storey building. The pet boarding facility would be located entirely indoors on the ground floor, with no outdoor enclosures or runs proposed. The second floor of the building is planned to contain a residential apartment. The building itself has not yet been approved, and detailed plans will be reviewed through the City’s planning and building approval processes.

This proposal does not introduce a new pet boarding operation to the area but instead relocates an existing pet boarding facility currently operating at Hillcrest Animal Clinic (195 Grand Trunk Avenue). Existing pet boarding activities would move to 185 Grand Trunk Avenue, and the existing site at 195 Grand Trunk Avenue would continue to operate as a veterinary clinic only.

TAKE NOTICE THAT the last date and time for filing a Notice of Appeal is 4:30 p.m. on August 4, 2026.

Further information regarding the amendment and how to appeal can be found in the attached PDF.
