This neighbourhood meeting is your first opportunity to hear about a proposed development from the applicant, understand the City’s planning approval process and timelines and give you the chance to ask questions. This is a preliminary meeting to provide residents with information before the application is reviewed by City staff and considered by City Council. A Statutory Public Meeting will be scheduled at a later date, in accordance with the Planning Act.

YYZed Project Management & Yonge Huronia Inc. is seeking input from the public on a proposed Amendment to the Zoning By-law for lands known municipally as 306 Yonge Street in the City of Barrie. The proposal is intended to facilitate the future development of two, 20-storey mixed-use buildings. The development proposes to create a total of 388 purpose-built residential rental units and ground floor commercial uses. For more information, please visit the proposed development webpage.

This neighbourhood meeting will be held in a virtual forum with electronic participation via Zoom. To participate in the virtual meeting, you will need access to a computer with internet service or a telephone.
