Huron County Council approved changes to the Official Plan for the Municipality of South Huron.
The purpose of the changes is to introduce more flexible housing options, as well as provide more options regardless of income level.
The amendment would also emphasize the intensification within existing urban neighbourhoods.
Changes include low, medium, and high-density residential development, new residential neighbourhoods, residential conversions, and addressing a special needs housing policy.
There are also changes to on-farm accommodation for farm labour, and additional residential units in the agricultural area.
The amendment also includes a minimum density requirement of 15 main dwelling units per hectare in newly developing, fully serviced residential areas.
