PUBLIC NOTICE

(Under section 111 of the Community Planning Act)

The council of the Regional Town of Cap-Acadie Regional will soon consider a rezoning application that would amend By-law CA-18 – Zoning By-law of the Regional Town of Cap-Acady by modifying Schedule A – Zoning Map of the Town of Cap-Acadie, to rezone the properties of the Aboiteau Cottages, bearing the PIDs 70318753, 70318761, 70318704, 70318688, 70318662, 70318647, 70318621, 70318605, 70318597, 70318571, 70318555, 70318548, 70318506, 70318464, 70318373, 70318381, 70318399, 70318407, 70318415, 70318423, 70318431, 70318449, 70318456, 70318472, 70318480, 70318498, 70318514, 70318522, 70318530, 70318563, 70318589, 70318613, 70318639, 70318654, 70318670, 70318696, 70318712, 70318720, 70318738 and 70318746, from the Integrated Development (ID) zone to the Coastal Residential (CR) zone.

The proposed rezoning aims to provide a more flexible regulatory framework allowing for the renovation, expansion, and adaptation of existing cottages. If the council adopts the proposed By-law CA-18-M09 – By-law Amending By-law CA-18 – Zoning By-law of the Regional Town of Cap-Acadie, it will repeal By-law No. A-005-10Z – By-law Amending Municipal By-law No. A-005 of the Village of Cap-Pelé.

At this stage, no decision has been made. The Cap-Acadie 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:

1. Citizens can consult the proposed by-law on the website capacadie.ca or at the Cap-Acadie municipal building at 2647 Acadie Road, Cap-Pelé (Monday to Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 12:45 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.) as well as at the Plan 360 office at 815A Bombardier Street, Shediac (Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.).

3. The rezoning application will be presented at the meeting of the Southeast Planning Review and Adjustment Committee on October 28, 2026. Plan 360 will submit the Committee's decision to the council, along with the rezoning documents.
4. Council will consider the rezoning application at a public hearing on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber located at 2647 Acadie Road in Cap-Pelé. Citizens will be able to submit their comments at the public hearing. Council will have the following options:

   2. Accept the by-law but modify, add, and/or remove conditions;
   3. Postpone and request additional information; or
   4. Reject the application.
5. The council may conduct 1^st and 2^nd readings by title of a proposed by-law but continue to make modifications if it obtains additional information during the review process. The by-law is adopted only after the reading in its entirety and the 3^rd readings by title have been adopted. The council then adopts a resolution for the conditions related to rezoning.

Important: Submitting a rezoning application does not guarantee its approval. Each application is analyzed individually and must be reviewed by the Town council before a decision is made.
