The Council of the Municipality of Lambton Shores has initiated a process to consider a municipal-wide amendment to Zoning By-law 1 of 2003. The amendment, if passed, would reduce the parking requirements applicable in the Municipality’s downtown areas. In this respect, parking requirements would be reduced in downtown commercial zones to:
  • 1 parking space per dwelling unit
  • 1 parking space per hotel room
  • a single rate of 1 parking space per 93 square metres (1000 square feet) of ground floor area
Areas to which the Amendments Apply

No key map is provided as the amendment would apply Municipal-wide to all “Commercial-1 (C1) Zones”, which apply to the downtown areas of Arkona, Forest, and Thedford, and to all “Commercial-10 (C10) Zones”, which apply to those properties fronting Main Street in Grand Bend from Ontario Street to the beach.
