Lot 83, Concession North of Talbot Road and Part of Block 13 West of John Street Plan
164, municipally known as 516 John Street North in the Town of Aylmer. The subject
lands comprise a total lot area of approximately 0.96ha (2.37ac), with 80.00m (262.47ft)
of frontage. Please see Appendix A- Location Map.
Page 5 of 25
The subject lands are within a Tier 1 Settlement Area in the County of Elgin Official
Plan(s), as shown in Appendix B. These settlement areas have full servicing and allow
for a range of uses.
The Town of Aylmer designates the lands Employment as shown on Schedule `A' in the
Town's Official Plan and as shown in Appendix C.
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to re -designate a portion of the subject
lands (9,600 sqm) in area from Employment to Employment Special Policy Area 1 to
permit an existing farmers' market and, in addition, to permit Arterial Commercial Area
uses in addition to Employment uses (as shown in Appendix D).
OPA No. 27 was adopted by Town Council on February 4, 2026 (By-law No. 18-26), as
shown in Appendix E.
In addition to the OPA, a ZBLA is also required to rezone a portion of the subject lands
(9,600 sqm) in area from Heavy Industrial Special Provision 2 (M2-2) to Heavy
Industrial/Support Commercial Special Provision 11 (M2/C2-11) to permit the existing
farmers market and restaurant with an outdoor patio; to permit complimentary uses to the
farmers' market, three (3) mobile food trucks/carts and to reduce parking requirements
from 252 spaces to 126 spaces (using the most restrictive parking regulation). Two new
definitions, farmers' market and microbrewery are proposed. The balance of the subject
lands is 21.75 ha (53.75 ac) in area with existing industrial buildings. The By-law
amendment was approved by Town Council on February 4, 2026 (By-law No. 14-26).
County staff have had the opportunity to review the proposal, associated submission
materials and public comments against the requirements of the Planning Act, the
Provincial Planning Statement, the County of Elgin Official Plan and Town of Aylmer
Official Plan and are satisfied that the proposal meets all relevant requirements and is
appropriate for the context of the subject lands.
Financial Implications:
There are no direct financial impacts to the County with respect to approval of this
application.
Advancement of the Strategic Plan:
Promote Economic Development and develop/implement employment lands and
investment within Elgin County.

Local Municipal Partner Impact:

Communication Requirements:

Township and to any other person/body prescribed under the Planning Act.
Conclusion:
Based on the above analysis it is recommended that County Council approve OPA No.
27 of the Official Plan of the Town of Aylmer, as the modified amendment:
• Is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement;
• Conforms to the County of Elgin Official Plan and intent of the Town of Aylmer
Official Plan; and

Report to Committee of the Whole
From: Katherine Thompson, Manager of Administrative Services
Date: February 24, 2026
Subject: ADM 26 - 07 Recommendations for Council Learning Sessions
Recommendation(s):
THAT the learning session topics identified in the report titled "ADM 26-07
Recommendations for Council Learning Sessions" be endorsed; and
THAT Council approve a list of prioritized learning session topics based on Committee
Member input.
Introduction:
At the Committee of the Whole meeting held on January 27, 2026, the Committee
discussed the option of having Council learning sessions on topics of municipal interest
on days when Council and Committee of the Whole agendas are shorter. Council
approved this recommendation at its meeting on February 10, 2026.
Background and Discussion:
After the initial discussion on January 27, 2026, the Chief Administrative Officer
received several Learning Session topic suggestions from Members of Council and the
Executive Leadership Team. These topics are as follows:
• Review of the Land Use Planning Process
• Municipal Finance and its relation to the Municipal Act
• Risk Management and Insurance
• The Role of Council and the Role of Administration
• Funding Model for Long -Term Care
• Land Ambulance
• Provincial Offences Administration
• Council's Role as a Library Board
• Community Development (Economic Development, Community Improvement
Plans)
Page 23 of 25
• The Development Charges Act
The above recommended topics are for the Committee's consideration. The Committee
may also suggest additional topics. Some topics may be more applicable to incorporate
into a comprehensive Council Orientation Program for the next term of County Council.
All learning session topics suggested in this report can be presented in open session;
however, Council may hold these educational and/or training presentations in closed
session under Municipal Act Section 239 (3.1). Section 239 (3.1) permits meetings of a
council (or committee) to be closed to the public if both of the following conditions are

that materially advances the business or decision -making of the council, local board or
committee.
Financial Implications:
None.

The initiatives outlined in this report are integral to the County's day-to-day operations,
supporting effective governance and the efficient delivery of services to Council and the
public. Together, they enhance organizational efficiency and reflect the County's
ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Conclusion:

considering all of the various topics when developing a comprehensive Council
Orientation Program for the next term of County Council.
