The predominant use of lands so aesignated 51~a1i be f-or ugri~ultu-r-a-1 and farm related purposes. However, Section 6.2.6 of the 1976 Official plan states that regardless of designation, a place of worship may be permitted in any area provided that the facility is compatible with the surrounding land uses. However, if the proposed use would be in conflict with the predominant use permitted in that designation, the proposed use shall be discouraged to locate at that site. The 1991 Plan in Section 5.2.1, has a similar provision, stating that the use be visible and accessible to residents and is "preferably in close proximity to existing and future transit routes".
