For Immediate Release: September 11, 2025
The following items were discussed at the regular monthly meeting of the Stratford Town Council held on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
Agenda Approved
The agenda was approved following an amendment approved by Council to reorder some items in the agenda.
First Reading Held for Waterfront Rezoning
Two related resolutions were approved with 5-1 votes at first reading. These resolutions are related to proposed amendments to the waterfront area and will streamline the zoning to one zone, ‘Waterfront Mixed Use’, as well as establish uniform design guidelines across all properties. These changes, if approved following second reading and adoption, will apply to lands currently zoned in the area for new development or future redevelopment.
Subdivision Approved
An application from the Stratford Business Park Corporation Inc. to extend Myrtle Street and create two new lots was approved by resolution.
Lot Consolidation Approved
A resolution approved an application from CMLMT Holding Ltd. to consolidate parcel numbers 190173 & 529545 (approx.1.98 acres) and to extend Swallow Drive. The consolidation of these lots thereby subdivides the proposed new lot and creates two new lots for development within the Medium Density Residential (R2) Zone on the north and south sides of Swallow Drive.
A subsequent resolution related to the south lot was added to the agenda however it was later deferred to allow time to consider and review the resolution.
Second Reading & Adoption Held
An application from Cornerstone Baptist Church to rezone PID 1016377, located at 295 Shakespeare Drive from the Town Centre Institutional (TCI) Zone to the Town Centre Mixed Use (TCMU) Zone, was approved by resolutions for second reading and adoption. The applicant is proposing the zoning change for the future creation of three medium density residential lots along Shakespeare and for the expansion of the existing institutional (church) building.
Sports Field Lighting
A resolution was approved to award the respondent Hansen Electric Ltd. with the sports field lighting design and build services project for two ballfields at the Stratford Community Campus in the amount of $783,000.00 (excluding HST).
Proclamation
Mayor Steve Ogden proclaimed September as “Arthritis Awareness Month” in the Town of Stratford. The Arthritis Society of Canada has a 77 year history in Canada and recognize that arthritis is a serious disease that causes debilitating pain, restricts mobility and diminishes quality of life. Six million people in Canada (1 in 5) live everyday with the brutal realities of arthritis from which there is no cure.
