RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des affaires rurales recommande au Conseil :

 

1.         d’approuver une modification au Règlement général de zonage no 2008-250 en vue de faire passer le zonage d’une partie de la propriété située au 2182, chemin Giroux, de Zone agricole avec exception (AG[701r]) à Sous-zone agricole 5 (AG5), comme le montre le document 1.

BACKGROUND

 

The subject lands are known as 2182 Giroux Road.  They are 42.6 hectares in area and are located on the south side of Giroux Road.  The lands that are intended to be rezoned constitute the “retained” (2182 Giroux Road) agricultural lands and the “severed” (to be known as 2226 Giroux Road) residential parcel on a recent consent application.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The rezoning is required to fulfill a condition of the Committee of Adjustment decision to sever a 0.7-hectare residential parcel containing a dwelling and outbuildings made surplus through farm consolidation.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The existing zoning of the severed and retained parcels is Agricultural with exception (AG[701r]). The existing zone recognizes and permits agricultural uses on a minimum lot area of 42 hectares in areas designated “Agricultural Resource Area” in the Official Plan and restricts the range of permitted uses to agricultural, forestry and related accessory uses in order to preserve these prime agricultural lands from loss by other uses.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The retained lands are intended to be zoned Agricultural Subzone 5 (AG5).  This zoning permits agricultural uses in areas designated “Agricultural Resource Area,” as above, but prohibit a detached dwelling.  This particular subzone represents agricultural lands with a minimum area of 30 hectares and a minimum frontage of 60 metres.

 

The severed parcel is intended to be rezoned to Agricultural Zone (AG) to remove the exception, which requires a minimum lot area of 42 hectares.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan 

 

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 retained lands to be rezoned, prior to finalization of the consent.  The proposed zoning therefore implements the intent of the Official Plan.

 

The rezoning supports the agricultural community, by permitting a farmer to dispose of a dwelling surplus to his operation, while protecting and preserving the agricultural use of the retained lands, and by prohibiting future dwellings to be constructed thereon.
