REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Agriculture
and Rural Affairs Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to Zoning
By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of part of 1212 Donald B. Munro Drive from
AG (Agricultural) to AG5 (Agricultural, Subzone 5), as 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 2008-250 pour faire passer
le zonage d’une partie du 1212, promenade Donald-B.-Munro Drive de Zone
agricole (AG) à Sous-zone agricole 5 (AG5), comme le montre le document 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject
land, 1212 Donald B. Munro Drive, is located on the north side of Donald B. Munro Drive and
east of the intersection with William Hodgins Lane. It
is an agricultural parcel, surrounded by agricultural uses to the north, south,
east and west. The subject land has a
frontage of 522.5 metres along Donald B. Munro Drive and an area of
approximately 38.32 hectares.
This parcel was the subject of a recent consent application. The existing dwelling and associated
outbuildings are being severed as a surplus farm dwelling. The retained land will remain vacant and will
continue to be used for agricultural purposes.
Purpose of Zoning Amendment
The proposal is to rezone part of the subject land to meet a condition of consent to sever a surplus farm dwelling imposed by the Committee of Adjustment (Application No. D08‑01‑11/B‑00024).
The land to be severed will have a frontage of 140 metres on Donald B. Munro Drive and contain a lot area of 2.7 hectares. It will contain a detached dwelling, barn, workshop and two sheds.
The land to be retained, which is the subject of the zoning request, will have a broken frontage totalling 382.5 metres on Donald B. Munro Drive and contain a lot area of 35.61 hectares.
Existing Zoning
The subject land is currently zoned Agricultural (AG). This zoning recognizes and permits agricultural uses on a minimum lot area of 90 hectares in areas designated Agricultural Resource Area in the Official Plan and restricts the range of permitted uses to agricultural, forestry and related uses in order to preserve prime agricultural lands from loss to other uses.
Proposed Zoning
The requested zoning amendment proposes to rezone the retained parcel (farmland) from AG to Agricultural Subzone 5 (AG5). This zoning permits agricultural uses, but prohibits residential uses. This particular subzone represents agricultural lands with a minimum area of 30 hectares and a minimum frontage of 60 metres.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan
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 Areas that would see a new residence being constructed on the vacant farm property, the house being declared surplus and severed for a lot, and the pattern so continued.
Zoning By-law
The site is zoned Agricultural (AG). The AG zone 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 a portion of the subject land (retained farmland) be changed from Agriculture (AG) to Agricultural Subzone 5 (AG5), as shown on Document 1. The AG5 zone will prohibit residential uses on a lot having a minimum area of 30 hectares and a minimum lot width of 60 metres. This rezoning is considered appropriate since it will protect agricultural land from loss to other uses and the lot 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. The effect of this rezoning will be to enhance the rural heritage and fortify the rural landscape.
