REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the
Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 3325 Eagleson Road from AG
Agricultural Zone to AG5 [rural exception XX], as detailed in Document 2 and
shown in Document 1.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des affaires
rurales recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de
zonage no 2008-250 en vue de changer le zonage de la propriété
située au 3325, chemin Eagleson, de Zone agricole (AG) à AG5 [exception rurale
XX], comme l’explique le Document 2 et le montre le Document 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject parcels are known as 3311 and 3325 Eagleson Road. The parcels are located in an agricultural
area, north of Brophy Road and east of Eagleson Road.
Purpose of Zoning
Amendment
The rezoning
is required to fulfill a condition of the Committee of Adjustment decision to
sever a dwelling and immediately abutting outbuildings, made surplus through
farm consolidation on a 3.48 hectare parcel.
The existing zoning of the severed and retained
properties is AG (Agricultural Zone). The existing zone contemplates
Agricultural uses and sets minimum zone provisions related to agricultural
uses. The minimum lot size to permit Agricultural use of a property is 36
hectares. Agricultural uses are not permitted on new lots less than 36 hectares
in size. For uses other than Agriculture, Forestry, Equestrian Establishment
and Kennel the minimum lot area is 0.4 hectares.
Severed Parcel – 3311 Eagleson Road – to remain AG (Agricultural Zone)
Retained Parcel – 3325 Eagleson Road – to be rezoned to AG5 [rural exception XX].
DISCUSSION
The parcel is designated Agricultural Resource in the Official Plan. The policies permit severance of a dwelling and immediately adjacent outbuildings made surplus through farm consolidation, provided the vacant agricultural parcel is rezoned to prohibit any residential use.
The Committee of Adjustment in granting the severance of the dwelling and immediately adjacent outbuildings, has required, in accordance with the Official Plan, the severed and retained lands to be rezoned, prior to finalization of the consent. The proposed zoning therefore implements the intent of the Official Plan.
Severed Parcel – 3311 Eagleson Road
It is proposed to leave the severed parcel in the AG (Agricultural Zone).
At 3.48 hectares in lot area agricultural uses are not permitted on the severed lot.
Notwithstanding that Agricultural uses are not permitted,
Section 211 (5) of the Zoning By-law permits an "equestrian establishment
comprised of a stable as an accessory use to a detached dwelling on a lot of
0.8 hectares or larger in area."
The Building Code includes provisions related
to limiting distance requirements. The applicant should be aware that any
change in use of these accessory structures requires a review related to
compliance with the limiting distance requirements under the Building Code.
At the time of the review of the consent application it was felt that a condition for rezoning of the severed parcel would be required to recognize a reduction in required minimum side yard. Since the severance, the configuration of the lot has been altered, resulting in the detached accessory building in question meeting the minimum required side yard.
In review of the rezoning application it was noted that the adjacent outbuildings being severed with the dwelling exceed the maximum size permitted to be used for uses accessory to a residential use under Section 55 of the Zoning By-law. This Section currently limits the aggregate of all accessory buildings to 150 square metres in the AG zone. On April 23, 2009 Agriculture and Rural Affairs carried on consent a report recommending that this zone provision be altered to permit a maximum of five per cent of the lot area for accessory buildings in the AG zone. A by-law to effect this recommendation will be before Council on May 13, 2009 and will be subject to an appeal period. As the area of the existing accessory structures totals 2,777 square metres it will exceed the maximum allowed in the Zoning By-law thereby creating a non-complying situation. Future use of these non-complying buildings is regulated under Section 3 of the Zoning By-law - Non-Conformity and Non-Compliance.
Section 55 also applies to limit the maximum permitted
height of accessory residential structures to 12 metres. Although Section 64 of
the Zoning By-law exempts silos or other farm-related buildings or structures
from the provisions of Section 55, Section 64 does not exempt silos which can
no longer be used for farm-related uses, from the provisions of Section 55. The
silo at 19 metres will be non-complying and the provisions of Section 3
will apply to future use.
Retained Parcel – 3325 Eagleson Road
In
accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Official Plan, the
Committee of Adjustment required that the retained vacant farmland be rezoned
to prohibit future residential dwellings. The rezoning will recognize the final
lot area and minimum lot width of the retained parcel.
The
Zoning By-law sets up specific zones that prohibit residential uses for these
circumstances, depending on the area and frontage associated with the final
parcel configuration. In this case the
retained parcel is approximately 34 hectares in area and has a minimum lot
width of 48 metres.
The AG5 zone prohibits residential uses and sets a minimum lot area of 30 ha. The standard AG5 zone requires a 60 metre minimum lot width. As such it is necessary to establish an AG5 [rural exception XX] zone to recognize that the minimum lot width of the retained parcel is 48 metres.
Consent application: D08-01-08/B-00417 approved conditional on this rezoning. The rezoning will fulfill one of the conditions of consent to permit the severance to finalize.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The rezoning supports the agricultural community,
permitting the farmer to dispose of a dwelling surplus to his operation, while
protecting and preserving the agricultural use of the retained lands, by
prohibiting future dwellings to be constructed thereon.
