We Want to Hear from You! Public Engagement Events Scheduled
The Chester Village Planning Advisory Committee has been meeting regularly to begin the review and update of the Secondary Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law. In addition to the online public engagement tools offered through this site, staff are now looking for opportunities to engage with members of the public in person. At this early stage in the review, staff are seeking any and all comments, suggestions and ideas. Although it is never too late to share ideas with staff, this is an ideal time to have your comments considered and utilized in helping to shape the new planning documents.
Two dates for upcoming engagements have now been confirmed:
- Tuesday, August 25th, 2020 at 5:30 pm in Lordly Park (weather pending). Staff will have a display setup adjacent to the Central Street entrance. This coincides with the weekly "Picnic in the Park" (Picnic in the Park schedule or Picnic in the Park Facebook page). Feel free to stop by on your way to the Picnic to discuss land use and planning regulations with staff. Share your thoughts, ideas, concerns by leaving a comment card or speaking directly with staff.
- Saturday, August 29th, 2020 at 1:30 pm on Pleasant Street. This engagement will take place before the "Playhouse on Pleasant Street" (Playhouse on Pleasant event details). Staff will have a display setup on Pleasant Street and are hoping to engage with community members prior to the start of the concert.
Staff will continue to organize and plan additional public engagement events in accordance with Public Heath Guidelines. As more engagement events are scheduled we will be updating this page so please stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to explore the site, complete a survey, watch a video presentation on Secondary Suites or removing minimum parking requirements in the Central Commercial Zone, ask us a question or reach out to staff via phone (902-275-2599) or email (planning@chester.ca).
