Innisfil's desire to create more environmentally-protected land isn’t making everyone happy.
A public meeting March 1 addressed a few changes in the town’s zoning map, converting agricultural land to either rural residential or natural environmental area.
“The map amendments impact approximately individual 133 properties,” town planner Michelle Banfield said in her note to council. “Most of the mapping amendments are to correct inconsistencies between agricultural (AG) and environmental protection (EP) zones. In these instances, the proposed mapping change is intended to be consistent with a Natural Environmental Area designation in the Town Official Plan.”
The bulk of the changes are happening off Big Bay Point Road, just south of Barrie.
