Clarification Regarding Public Meeting on June 22

Clarification Regarding Public Meeting on June 22

It has come to the Town of Petrolia’s attention that there is some confusion with respect to a public meeting being held at the Town of Petrolia, Municipal Council Chambers on June 22, 2026.

For clarity, the purpose of the by-law is to amend the Town’s Zoning By-law to increase the permitted lot coverage from 35% to 40% for a variety of parcels in the Town of Petrolia. The by-law would only affect lands that are already zoned residential. 

Portions of some of the lands that would be affected by this by-law contain woodlots or other natural heritage features. The amendment would not alter any existing woodlot designations or processes that exist to protect the Town’s natural heritage features. For clarity, the amendment would not rezone any lands to residential that are not already zoned residential.
