The following Official Plan amendment application has been submitted to the Planning and Forestry Department of the Corporation of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell:

Notice of Complete Application and Joint Public Meeting

Proposed Amendments to the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell and to the Zoning By-law of the Township of East Hawkesbury

Take notice that the Corporation of the Township of East Hawkesbury has requested an amendment to the Official Plan of the Corporation of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell to redesignate the lands within the Ste-Anne-de-Prescott and St-Eugene communities from “Community Policy Area" to "Hamlet Policy Area". The Corporation of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell has determined that the application is complete, in accordance with Section 22(6.4) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended. The application has been assigned File No. OPA 001 2026.

And take notice that the Corporation of the Township of East Hawkesbury has initiated an amendment to Zoning By-law No. 2021-22 to revise standards applicable to lands serviced by private septic systems and to amend the zoning category of a municipally owned property known as Ste-Anne Park.

Public Meeting

The Council of the Corporation of the Township of East Hawkesbury will hold a public meeting to consider the proposed Official Plan amendment and the proposed Zoning By-law amendment, pursuant to Sections 22 and 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.

Date: August 10, 2026
Heure : 6:00 p.m.
Lieu : Township of East Hawkesbury Town Hall
5151 County Road 14
St-Eugène, Ontario, K0B 1P0

Proposed County Official Plan Amendment

The proposed amendment seeks to amend Schedule A2 of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Official Plan by redesignating the Ste-Anne-de-Prescott and St-Eugene communities from "Community Policy Area" to "Hamlet Policy Area". The proposed amendment would permit development on the basis of private services.

Proposed Township of East Hawkesbury Zoning By-law Amendment

The proposed amendment to Zoning By-law No. 2021-22 seeks to increase the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage zone provisions of the Residential Type 1 (R1) Zone, where a lot is serviced by a private septic system. The amendment is required to ensure consistency with the policies of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell Official Plan.

The amendment also includes a site-specific zoning amendment affecting an approximately 2.47-acre municipally-owned property currently used as a municipal park (Ste-Anne Park). As the Township has declared these lands surplus to their municipal needs, the amendment to a R1 Zone would allow for future residential development of the property.

Subject Lands

The Official Plan Amendment applies to all lands within the settlement area boundaries of Ste-Anne-de-Prescott and St-Eugene, in the Township of East Hawkesbury.

The Zoning By-law amendment applies throughout the Township of East Hawkesbury and to the municipally-owned lands known as Ste-Anne Park.

Given the scope of the proposed amendments, no key map is provided.
