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 en vue de faire passer le
zonage des 9065 et 9245, chemin Marvelville de Zone agricole (AG1) à Zone
agricole, sous-zone 8 (AG8) et à Zone agricole, sous-zone 5 (AG5), tel
qu’illustré dans le document 1.
The subject land is
located on the north side of Marvelville Road east of Yorks
Corners Road.
The severed parcel is
known as 9113 Marvelville Road and the retained parcels will be known as 9065
and 9245 Marvelville Road. The site is an agricultural parcel, surrounded by
agricultural uses to the north, south, east and west.
These parcels were the subject of a recent
consent application. The exisitng dwelling is being severed as a
surplus farm dwelling. The retained land
will remain vacant and will contine to be used for agricultural purposes.
The Committee of Adjustment approved the consent
application; however, the City appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal
Board. The City and the Purchaser
reached a settlement proposing altered lot lines. The Minutes of Settlement include a condition
to rezone the retained lands to prohibit future residential uses.
Purpose of Zoning Amendment
The land to be severed is known as 9113
Marvelville Road and will have a frontage of 131.8 metres and contain a lot
area of 2.43 hectares and will contain a detached dwelling and several
outbuildings.
The first portion of land to be retained will
be known as 9065 Marvelville Road and will have frontage of 200 metres and
contain a lot area of 5.53 hectares. The
second portion to be retained will be known as 9245 Marvelville Road and will
have broken frontage of 1,515 metres and contain a lot area of approximately
31.1 hectares.
Existing Zoning
The subject land is currently zoned Agricultural
(AG). This zoning recognizes and permits
agricultural uses on a minimum lot area of 30 hectares in areas designated
Agricultural Resource Area in the Official Plan and restricts the range of
permitted uses to agricultural, forestry and related uses in order to preserve
prime agricultural lands from loss to other uses.
Proposed Zoning
The requested zoning amendment proposes to
rezone the retained parcel at 9065 Marvelville Road (farmland) from Agriculture
(AG) to Agricultural, Subzone 8 (AG8).
This zoning permits agricultural uses, but prohibits residential
uses. This particular subzone represents
agricultural lands with a minimum area of 10 hectares and a minimum
frontage of 60 metres. The proposed
zoning for the retained parcel at 9245 Marvelville Road is from AG to AG5. This particular subzone represents
agricultural lands with a minimum area of 30 hectares and a minimum
frontage of 60 metres.
Official Plan
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 Areas that would see a new
residence being constructed on the vacant farm property, the house being
declared surplus and severed for a lot, and the pattern so continued.
Zoning By-law
The site is zoned Agricultural (AG). The AG zone 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 Zoning By-law, it is recommended that the zoning of the retained
land (9065 Marvelville Road) be changed from AG to Agricultural Subzone 8 (AG8),
and from AG to AG5 (9245 Marvelville Road) as shown on Document 1. The AG8 zone will prohibit residential uses on a
lot having a minimum area of 5 hectares and a minimum lot width of 60 metres. The AG5 zone will prohibit residential uses
on a lot having a minimum area of 30 hectares and a minimum lot width of 60
metres. This rezoning for the retained
land is considered appropriate since it will protect agricultural land from
loss to other uses and the lot will continue to respect the minimum lot area
and width requirements.
The retained land will be limited to
agricultural uses. By restricting
residential uses, major agricultural areas will be protected from fragmentation
and competing uses. The effect of this
rezoning will be to enhance the rural heritage and fortify the rural landscape.
The Ward Councillor is aware of this
application and the staff recommendation.
Approving the rezoning will support Minutes of
Settlement that will assist in concluding an outstanding appeal before the
Ontario Municipal Board.
