The Municipality of Brockton is requesting a special Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Mayor Chris Peabody says this will help facilitate the development of over 500 housing units in the East Ridge Business Park.
“As the Municipality considered ways to support and create much needed affordable housing for our seniors and our service and manufacturing industry employees, the MZO became an obvious choice to advance multiple residential development projects in a timely manner,” said Peabody.
The lands subject to the requested MZO, approximately 24 hectares, are zoned as employment, industrial and agricultural lands in Walkerton.
The MZO would convert five vacant parcels of employment lands within the East Ridge Business Park to accommodate more appropriate residential development there, including townhomes, apartments, a residential care facility and a proposed hospice.
