The council of the Regional Town of Cap-Acadie will soon review a rezoning application for properties PID 70325329 and 70325246 located on Gérard Street in Grand-Barachois to allow the proposed construction of a single-family dwelling. The application would require:

• An amendment to By-law CA-17 – Municipal Plan of the Regional Town of Cap-Acadie, namely the modification of the future land use map to change the properties from the "Environmental Conservation" designation to the "Rural" designation, and
• An amendment to By-law CA-18 – Zoning By-law of the Regional Town of Cap-Acadie, modifying Schedule A – Zoning Map of the Town of Cap-Acadie to rezone the properties from the Environment Conservation (E) zone to the Coastal Residential (CR) zone.

At this stage, no decision has been made. The council is simply undertaking a rezoning study in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. Citizens will have the opportunity to learn about the project and provide feedback before a final decision is made. Here is some information on the steps in the process and how to participate:
