PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE BY-LAW

  • The Interim Control By-law (No. 2021-059) was passed to allow Township staff and consultants to undertake a study in respect of land use policies for new drug addiction treatment and harm reduction facilities including methadone dispensaries and clinics, needle exchange sites, overdose prevention sites, and drug addiction treatment and drug rehabilitation residential facilities for all the lands in the Township of Uxbridge. The study will provide a basis for the development of a policy and regulatory framework, anticipated to include amendments to the Township’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
    • The Interim Control By-law provides that notwithstanding the permitted uses and regulations of the Township Zoning By-law, no person shall use any land, building or structure or expand any use on the land, or use or erect any building or structure, including any addition to an existing building for the purpose of new drug addiction treatment and harm reduction facilities including methadone dispensaries and clinics, needle exchange sites, overdose prevention sites, and drug addiction treatment and drug rehabilitation residential facilities (including those located as an accessory or ancillary use within a pharmacy, other retail store or other similar commercial or institutional use).
    • The Interim Control By-law was to remain in effect until May 10, 2022 unless otherwise extended in accordance with Section 38 of the Planning Act or repealed by Council at an earlier date.
    • Council has now extended the Interim Control By-law to provide for the Interim Control to be in effect for a total period of time being two years from May 10, 2021 in accordance with Section 38 of the Planning Act.
