Zoning By-law Amendment – Z-2022-009 Brouwer Shouldice
(9 and 13 McKague Road)
Bruce County Planner, Daniel Kingsbury, provided Council with a report outlining the proposed rezoning of lands known as 9 and 13 McKague Road, to the Hamlet Commercial (C2) zone with special provisions. Mr. Kingsbury further stated that the special provisions to the C2 zone are requested to recognize reduced frontage, minimum lot area, minimum side yard setback and the minimum driving aisle width. If approved, the proposed amendment would facilitate an indoor boat storage building & mobile repair business on the lands. Council was informed that a portion of the lands are currently zoned C2.
Comments received from municipal staff indicated concerns regarding the functionality of the site given the orientation of the structure and the potential for McKague Road to be impacted by boats backing in and out of the site. Mr. Kingsbury informed members of Council that the applicant intends to utilize a zero-turning radius moving device to move the boats, ensuring that all vehicle maneuvering occurs on site.
Council was informed that public comments have been received concerning water quality to Judges Creek as a result of the development of the property. Daniel Kingsbury informed Council that the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) has reviewed the proposal with respect to conformity with applicable natural heritage policies.

Discussion ensued regarding the availability of the GSCA for the site plan control stage of the project, if it were approved. Daniel Kingsbury informed Council that the GSCA will be available during this stage and have requested that the information be submitted.
Council questioned the ability of the property owners to alter their model and pursue another business venture permitted within C2 zones. Daniel Kingsbury informed Council that alternative uses permitted within C2 zones would be prohibited within the passing of By-law 2022-34, as the by-law is very specific regarding the authorized use of the property.
Clerk, Cathy Addison, provided an overview of the steps following the approval of Zoning By-law Amendment – Z-2022-009 Brouwer Shouldice (9 and 13 McKague Road).
