REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former West Carleton Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 2225 Craig Side Road from RU (Rural) and RU-FP (Rural - Flood Plain) to RU-53 (Rural - exception) and RU-53 FP (Rural exception flood plain) as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2 .

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des affaires rurales recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de l’ancien Canton de West-Carleton afin de changer la désignation de zonage du 2225, chemin Craig Side de RU (zone rurale) et RE-FP (zone rurale -  plaine inondable) à RU-53 (zone rurale – exception) et RU-53 FP (zone rurale – exception, plaine inondable), tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document 1 et expliqué en détail dans le document 2.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The parcel to be rezoned is 19 hectares in area, located on the north side of Craig Side Road, west of Carp Road, and east of the Carp River.  The Village of Carp and the Diefenbunker property lay south of the subject lands.  The parcel to be rezoned is farm field used for cash crop and hay production and slopes to the Carp River forming the western property boundary.

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The applicants applied for, and received, conditional consent from the Committee of Adjustment to sever the dwelling and accessory detached garage known as 2241 Craig Side Road.  The dwelling has been made surplus through farm consolidation on a 1.39-hectare parcel.  In accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement, parcels remnant of such applications are required to prohibit the construction of future dwellings on the vacant farmland.  Consent to sever the dwelling is conditional on this rezoning.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The current zoning is RU (Rural).

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The lands will be placed in an RU-exception 53 (RU-53) zone and RU-exception 53 flood plain (RU-53 (FP)) to prohibit residential dwellings on the lot.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan 

 

The subject land is designated Agricultural Resource in the Official Plan.

 

Policy 3.7.3.14 provides where an application to sever a surplus dwelling is made, for lands that abut the main farm or not, the City will require the vacant agricultural parcel so created be rezoned to prohibit any residential use.

The proposed zoning is to fulfill a condition of consent granted by the Committee of Adjustment to sever a surplus dwelling to conform to the above-noted policies.

The zoning continues to protect the Flood Plain abutting the Carp River.

 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The site is impacted by the flood plain along the Carp River on the western property boundary.  The flood plain zone will remain in place.

 

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The zoning supports the agricultural economy, permitting a condition of the Committee of Adjustment to be finalized and allows severance of a dwelling made surplus through farm consolidation.

 

 

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.
