REPORT RECOMMENDATION

That the Planning and Development Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of Cumberland Rural Zoning By-Law to change the zoning of 3184 Frank Kenny Road from Agriculture - AGR to Agriculture - Exception Nine AGR-X9 to remove as a permitted use a single detached dwelling as detailed in Document 2.

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

Que le Comité de l'urbanisme et de l'aménagement recommande au Conseil municipal d'approuver une modification au Règlement municipal de zonage rural de l'ancienne Ville de Cumberland en vue de remplacer la désignation de zonage Agricole (AGR) du 3184, chemin Frank Kenny par la désignation Agricole - exception 9 (AGR-X9) pour interdire une maison unifamiliale comme utilisation permise, comme le précise le document 2.

BACKGROUND

The affected property is located north-east of the village of Navan along the west side of Frank Kenny Road near the intersection of Giroux Road. These farmlands, on parts of the east halves of Lots 7 and 8, Concession 8, have been subject to a consent application (D-08-01-03/B-00398) which results in the severance of the bulk of the property, a parcel of approximately 53.8 hectares, from the retained parcel of about 2.7 hectares. On the latter parcel is located an existing house and accessory buildings. The severed lands are being acquired for use by another farm operation.

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

This Zoning By-law amendment is needed to fulfill a condition of approval of the aforementioned consent application wherein no new permanent residential uses are to be allowed on the severed vacant farm parcel.

Existing Zoning

The zoning of the affected lands is Agriculture - AGR with a narrow Floodplain - FP zone overlay traversing portions of the lands.

Proposed Zoning

The zoning would be changed to the Agriculture - Exception 9 (AGR-X9) zone, an existing exception zone, which permits all uses in the Agricultural AGR zone except for the use single detached dwelling. The Floodplain - FP overlay rezoning will remain.

DISCUSSION

The former Regional Official Plan and the Rural Official Plan of the former City of Cumberland both designate the lands as Agricultural Resource Area. The Cumberland Plan requires that when there is a consolidation of farmlands and a dwelling situated on such lands is declared to be surplus and severed off on its own lot, the remnant vacant agricultural parcel is to be rezoned to prohibit any residential use.

The City Council Approved Official Plan also designates the lands as Agricultural Resource Area and maintains the Cumberland prohibition with the explanation of: "This housing restriction is intended to limit a pattern of lot creation in Agricultural Resource Areas that would see a new residence being constructed on a vacant farm property, the house being declared surplus and severed from a lot and the pattern so repeated." One of the best ways of preserving areas of good soil for farming is to limit the severance of lots or establishment of new uses that may conflict with agriculture - in particular new houses not related to farming.

The proposed Zoning By-law amendment would zone the lands to the Agricultural - Exception 9 zone which prohibits a "single detached dwelling" but allows all other uses in the Agricultural - AGR zone. The new zoning would restrict the purchaser of the vacant farm land from building a new single detached house on the lot.
