NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING for

REZONING APPLICATION RECEIVED

The Public is invited to participate in a Public Meeting set for Monday, August 11, 2025, beginning at 6:00pm.  This meeting will be held at Town Hall Council Chambers.  75 Main Street, 3^rd Floor, Souris, PEI.

The Town of Souris has received a request from Justin Cheverie to Rezone PID 100842 – 40 Chapel Ave., Souris, PEI (shown on the map provided) from its current zoning of R1 – Low Density Residential to R3 – Mixed-Density Residential for proposed multi-unit housing development.  This information is available on our website www.sourispei.com or in person at Souris Town Hall, 75 Main Street.

This proposed rezoning would require an amendment of the Town of Souris Zoning Map, Official Plan and Future Land Use Zoning Map.   Therefore, as per Section #18.4 of our Land Use Bylaw, the Town is required to notify property owners that live within a five-hundred-foot (500’) radius of the property in addition to an advertisement for a public hearing at least 7 clear days prior to the date fixed for the public meeting.  A sign will also be posted on the property.   This meeting will give Town Council an opportunity to hear and consider any concerns from the public prior to making their decision.  The applicant will also be invited to the meeting to answer questions.

You can either attend in person (or you can submit your concerns or questions in writing.)  Any written concerns or questions must be received prior to August 8, 2025, at 4:00pm.  These can be mailed to Town of Souris, PO Box 628, Souris, PEI, C0A 2B0, dropped off to Town Hall at 75 Main Street, or sent by email [email protected].  Please address to CAO Shelley LaVie  RE: J Cheverie Rezoning Request
