Que le Comité de  recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage 2008-250 visant à :

1.         Faire passer la désignation de zonage de la propriété située au 5073, chemin Rushmore, de AG2 (zone agricole - sous-sone 2) à AG[319r] (zone agricole - exception rurale 319), comme l'illustre le document 1 et le précise le document 2.

BACKGROUND

 

The subject land is located on the south side of Rushmore Road, west of Richmond Road.  The applicants applied for, and received, conditional consent from the Committee of Adjustment to sever the dwelling and accessory detached outbuildings known as 5073 Rushmore Road made surplus through farm consolidation on a 1.13-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.

 

Zoning By-law 2008-250

 

The proposed rezoning will place 5073 Rushmore Road in an AG[xxr] (Agricultural Zone [rural exception]) to recognize a minimum lot width of 24 metres. The AG zone also permits a residential use on parcels with a minimum lot area of 0.2 hectares.

 

The proposed rezoning will also place the vacant farmland in an AG6 (Agricultural subzone 6) to prohibit residential uses. The AG6 Zone will also establish a minimum lot area of 18 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres.


 

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.
