REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of part of 7576 Bank Street from Agricultural Zone "AG" to Agricultural Subzone 5 "AG5" as shown in Document 1.
RECOMMANDATIONS DU
RAPPORT
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil
d’approuver une modification au Règlement 2008-250 sur le zonage visant à faire
passer la désignation d’une partie de la propriété située au 7576, rue Bank, de
Zone agricole (« AG ») à Sous-zone agricole 5 (« AG 5 »),
comme l’illustre le document 1.
BACKGROUND
The
subject land identified as part of 7576 Bank Street Road is located south of
Snake Island Road. This
is an agricultural parcel surrounded by agricultural uses to the north, south,
east and west.
The subject land has a broken frontage of 130.87 metres on the west side of Bank Street and contains an area of approximately 39 hectares. The existing house at 7576 Bank Street is being severed as a surplus farm dwelling.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The proposal is to rezone the land to meet a condition of consent to sever a surplus farm dwelling imposed by the Committee of Adjustment (application no. D08-01-09/B-00047).
The current zoning is Agricultural Zone "AG" under Zoning By-law 2008-250.
The requested zoning amendment proposes to rezone the parcel to be retained (vacant farm land) from AG to Agricultural Subzone 5 "AG5" to prohibit residential uses.
DISCUSSION
According to the Official Plan, the subject land is designated “Agricultural Resource Area”. This designation protects prime agricultural areas from loss of lands to other uses. The policies ensure that a severance for the creation of a new lot on which is located a dwelling made surplus through farm consolidation does not permit the construction of a new dwelling on the lot rendered vacant through the severance. The policies require that the vacant agricultural parcel so created be rezoned to prohibit any residential uses. The housing restriction is intended to limit a pattern of lot creation in Agricultural Resource Area that would see a new residence being constructed on a vacant farm property, the house being declared surplus and severed for a lot and the pattern so repeated.
The site is zoned Agricultural Zone “AG”. This zoning permits a detached dwelling, agricultural use and several other uses. In order to ensure that the intent of the Official Plan policies is implemented in the Zoning By-law, it is recommended that the zoning of the site be changed from Agricultural Zone “AG” to Agricultural Subzone 5 “AG5”, as shown on Document 1, in order to prohibit residential uses on a lot having a minimum area of 30 hectares and a minimum width of 60 metres. This rezoning is considered appropriate since it will protect agricultural land from loss to other uses and will continue to respect the minimum lot area and width requirements
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The subject land will be limited to agricultural uses. By restricting residential uses, major agricultural areas will be protected from fragmentation and competing uses. In effect, it will enhance the rural heritage and fortify the rural landscape
