Work is continuing on a revised Brighton secondary plan and a public meeting is now set for next month.
The Municipality of Brighton has confirmed a statutory public meeting is in the works for April 13 at 6:30 p.m.
The focus of the meeting will be to consider version two of the draft plan, as well as a name change to an area-wide efficient land-use plan.
According to municipal staff, the purpose of this plan is to provide a comprehensive planning framework to guide long-term growth and development within designated secondary plan areas of the community.
The plan delves into land-use frameworks for the northeast, northwest and southwest areas. It also establishes residential density and housing mix policies, commercial and mixed-use areas, and environmental protection areas, while also touching on parks, open spaces and community facilities, transportation and related networks, infrastructure and additional policies, according to the municipality.
This latest version also incorporates public comments from earlier consultation phases. At the April meeting, the goal is to gather additional input and provide council with a chance to consider endorsement of the draft plan, explained officials.
Residents looking to learn more can do so via the municipality’s website. Hard copy documentation can also be made available upon request, noted officials.
In terms of the upcoming meeting, the public can also participate electronically, but residents are being asked to contact the municipality via email at cdoiron@brighton.ca by noon on April 10 if they’re looking at this option.
Written comments can also be received prior to the public meeting.
