REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of part of 5962 Fourth Line Road from Agricultural Zone (AG) to Agricultural Subzone 4 (AG4) as shown in Document 1.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des questions
rurales recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de
zonage 2008-250 afin de changer la désignation de zonage d’une partie du 5962,
chemin Fourth Line de Zone agricole (AG) à Sous-zone agricole 4 (AG4), tel
qu’il est indiqué dans le Document 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject land is located on the west side of Fourth Line Road, south of Century Road West. This is an agricultural parcel surrounded by agricultural uses to the north, south, east and west. The existing house at 5962 Fourth Line Road is being severed as a surplus farm dwelling.
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 current zoning is Agricultural Zone (AG) under Zoning By-law 2008-250.
DISCUSSION
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-00054). The requested zoning amendment proposes to rezone the parcel to be retained (vacant farm land) from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Subzone 4 (AG4) to prohibit residential uses.
The current 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 Comprehensive Zoning By-law, it is recommended that the zoning of the site be changed from Agricultural Zone (AG) to Agricultural Subzone 4 (AG4), as shown on Document 1, in order to prohibit residential uses on a lot having a minimum area of 45 hectares and a minimum width of 90 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
