A Kincardine Official Plan amendment has been approved by the Bruce County Planning and Development committee.
The application only calls for 4 townhomes on the property in Kincardine but each townhouse is proposed to contain a secondary unit, for a total of 8-units on the parcel of vacant land.
The land in question is on the north side of Golf Links Road, just west of Queen Street in Kincardine.
County councillor and Saugeen Shores Mayor Luke Charbonneau says the need is obvious and it should be fairly easy to do.
He hopes they’ll get on amending the plan right away.
Charbonneau says it creates affordable housing and allows owners to house a relative, which may allow them, “a measure of independence.”
County councillor and Kincardine Mayor Anne Eadie says like everyone else, they’re lacking in affordable housing and this development will be a good addition.
Approval still needs to come back to county council.
