The Issue

Please sign the petition if you believe that the developer should be required to limit the building height to a maximum of 3 stories as per the current property zoning.

Schomberg is a wonderful community, with a rich heritage and a wide variety of architectural building styles. Schomberg Main Street is a special place, with a rich mixture of homes, shops and businesses, as well as community buildings, such as a library, a church and Community Hall.

The Main Street is walkable, but it’s also crowded in terms of traffic – with bidirectional traffic and parking on both sides of the street it takes time and attention to safely make one’s way along the street.

The developers of 326 Main St. want to attach a 6 storey building to the back of the current house, and to remove the trees between the road and the new building. 

This new development will loom over both Main Street, and the Dufferin Marsh which it abuts.

Recently, the official plan was updated. In that process it was determined that the zoning would permit a 3 storey residential development in this location, significantly increasing the density, and welcoming new people to Schomberg. However, doubling the permitted height from 3 to 6 storeys is unacceptable.

Please sign the petition if you believe that the developer should be required to limit the building height to a maximum of 3 stories as per the current property zoning.

Signing this petition is your opportunity to have 'representation' at the Tribunal.
