Something is coming to 400 Division Street. Town council has passed a by-law approving Amendment No. 10 to Arnprior’s Official Plan, affecting lands legally described as McNab Concession A, Part of Lot 5.
A quick decoder: the Official Plan is the town’s long-term blueprint for what can be built where. When a property owner needs the blueprint changed to allow their project, they apply for an Official Plan Amendment — a public process under Ontario’s Planning Act, including a formal public meeting, which for this application was held at council’s February 23 meeting.
Why it matters: Official Plan amendments are usually the first public signal of significant development. The Prior will track what’s proposed for the site as planning documents become available.
