REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Agriculture and Rural
Affairs Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the Zoning By-law
2008-250 to change the zoning 4532 Rockdale Road from Agricultural (AG) with a
floodplain overlay to Agricultural Subzone 4 (AG4) with a floodplain overlay,
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, afin de modifier le zonage du
4532, chemin Rockdale de Zone agricole (AG) avec zone sous-jacente de
plaine inondable à Sous-zone agricole 4 (AG4) avec zone sous-jacente de plaine
inondable, comme le montre le document 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject parcel is known as 4532 Rockdale Road. The parcel is in an agricultural area, on the west side of Rockdale Road, east of Frank Kenny Road, north of Russell Road, and south of Huisman’s Road.
Purpose of Zoning Amendment
The rezoning is required to fulfill a condition of the Committee of Adjustment decision to sever an eight hectares parcel containing a dwelling and outbuildings made surplus through farm consolidation.
The existing zoning of the severed and retained properties is Agricultural (AG). The existing zone contemplates Agricultural uses and sets minimum zone provisions related to agricultural uses. There is a floodplain overlay affecting the rear of the property.
Vacant Farmland Parcel – 4532 Rockdale Road – to be zoned Agricultural Subzone 4 (AG4)
DISCUSSION
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.
In accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Official Plan, the Committee of Adjustment required that the retained vacant farmland be rezoned to prohibit future residential dwellings.
The Zoning By-law sets up specific zones that prohibit residential uses for these circumstances, depending on the area and frontage associated with the final parcel configuration. In this case the retained parcel is approximately 92 hectares in area. The Agricultural Subzone 4 sets a minimum lot area of 45 hectares.
The Agricultural Subzone 4 requires a minimum lot width of 90 metres. The subject parcel has in excess of 90 metres lot width. The Agricultural Subzone 4 (AG4) therefore will be appropriate for the vacant farmland parcel.
No servicing exists on the subject parcel.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The lot is affected by the 1:100 year floodplain and is recognized as such in the floodplain overlay in the Zoning By-law. No change to the floodplain overlay is proposed by this zoning amendment.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The rezoning supports the agricultural community, permitting a 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 City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
