What is the proposal?
The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is proposing to amend the Town’s Official Plan to prepare a Queen Street Secondary Plan. The Queen Street Secondary Plan study area applies to the area as shown on the map. The Town has retained The Biglieri Group Ltd. to lead the preparation of a Queen Street Secondary Plan. The project will create a vision for the future and explore how new development and growth can be integrated while respecting the area's historic character, cultural and built heritage, scale and public spaces. The outcome of the project will be an amendment to the Town of Niagara-on-the Lake’s Official Plan that will contain detailed policies and guidelines for future development of the Secondary Plan Area.
