BACKGROUND

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The parcel to be rezoned is approximately 30 hectares in area, located on the west side of Malakoff Road, on the north side of Harbison, known as 2877 Harbison Road.  The applicants applied for, and received, conditional consent from the Committee of Adjustment to sever the dwelling and accessory detached outbuildings known as 2913 Harbison Road made surplus through farm consolidation on a 1.8-hectare parcel.  In accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement, parcels remnant of surplus dwelling applications are required to be zoned to prohibit the construction of future dwellings on the vacant farmland.  Consent to sever the dwelling is conditional on this rezoning.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan 

 

The parcel is designated Agricultural Resource in the Official Plan.  The policies permit severance of a dwelling 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 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.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The existing zoning is A2 (General Rural).  This zoning recognizes the agriculture land use for these lands.

 

Proposed Zoning

The lands will be placed in a General Rural-exception (A2-55) Zone to prohibit residential dwellings on the vacant farm parcel.

 

New Comprehensive Zoning By-law

 

It is intended that the draft New Comprehensive Zoning By-law will be passed by City Council on June 25, 2008.  The Draft Zoning By-law indicates the lands will be zoned AG. An amendment to AG5 will be required to prohibit residential uses. The AG5 Zone will also establish a minimum lot area of 30 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres.

 

Concurrent Application 

 

Consent application: D08-01-08/B-00030 approved conditional on this rezoning. The rezoning will fulfill one of the conditions of consent to permit the severance to be finalized.

 

 

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.

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy.  The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff recommendation.  The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
