Princeton Town Council Meeting Planned for May 19th

Quick view

The Princeton Town Council is set to discuss several important topics at their upcoming meeting on May 19th. One of the main items on the agenda is a Development Variance Permit for 304 Jacobson Road. The permit would allow for a carport addition to the existing shop building, increasing the maximum combined size of accessory buildings from 75 m2 to 100 m2. Another topic of discussion is the rezoning of 255 Vermilion Avenue for a cannabis retail store. The Town of Princeton has waived the public hearing for this bylaw, citing consistency with the Official Community Plan. The council will also be considering a Building Inspection Services Mutual Aid Agreement with the RDOS Area H. This agreement would provide mutual coverage of building inspection services between the two parties. Additionally, the council will be receiving information on the Town of Princeton's new app, which has been launched as part of the town's post-Covid-19 recovery plan.
