1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On November 30, 1988, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development
received an application to amend the Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63, as

Rossi and would permit the development of a farm implement and machinery
sales and service establishment on a 2.83 ha (7.0 acre) parcel of land.

REPORT NO.: PD -55 -89 PAGE 2
The application is also subject to Site Plan approval prior to
permitting the proposed use.
1.2 The subject site is located in Part Lot 18, Concession 4, former
Township of Darlington. It is on the south west corner of Taunton
Road and Green Road. The property presently houses an existing
residential dwelling and accessory use. Surrounding land uses include
the Darlington Arena, Hobbs Sr. Public School, and proposed "Hamlet
Residential" to the north; a chicken broiler farm to the east; a
former mink farm to the south; and existing residential to the west.
2. PUBLIC NOTICE:
2.1 Staff would note for the Committee's information that, pursuant to
Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the
Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application
was installed on the subject lands and, surrounding property owners
were advised of the proposal.
3. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY:
3.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property is
designated "Permanent Agricultural Reserve ". According to Section
11.2.2 of the Regional Plan, the predominant use of land so designated
shall be for agricultural and farm - related uses. Furthermore, Section
11.2.10 allows a farm implement dealership to be located in the
agricultural area at the discretion of local Council, providing the
use is compatible with surrounding uses; it is not located on highly
productive lands; and is zoned appropriately. The proposal would
appear to conform to the Official Plan policies.

4. CIRCULATED AGENCIES
PAGE 3
4.1 To date, comments remain outstanding from two (2) of the circulated
agencies. These include the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority and Ontario Hydro. The Town of Newcastle Fire Department
and the Regional Health Department have expressed no objection in
their comments on the proposal.
4.2 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has indicated no
objection in principle to the rezoning, but recommend it does not
proceed until such time as the applicant submits detailed plans for
Site Plan approval. Through the site plan application, the applicant
will be responsible for 1000 of the costs associated with any works on
Green Road as a result of this development; the applicant will also be
required to contribute to upgrading of Green Road in accordance with
Town policy; and satisfy Staff in terms of the Town's Design Criteria
and Standard Drawings.
4.3 The Ministry of Agriculture and Food noted that the chicken broiler
farm to the east requires a 370 ft. (113 metre) minimum separation
distance. The separation arc (370 ft.) projects into the southeast
corner of the subject property, leaving the majority of the property
outside the minimum separation distance required by the Agricultural
Code of Practice.
4.4 Regional Planning Staff have noted that the proposal may be permitted
at the discretion of Council in consideration of the provisions of
Section 11.2.10 of the Regional Official Plan. The Regional Public
Works Staff have noted that no access will be permitted on Taunton
Road. In addition, a 3m (10 ft.) road widening and 0.3m (1 ft.)
reserve are required on the Regional Road prior to the passing of a
by -law.

5. PUBLIC CIRCULATION
5.1 Staff note that to date, no objections have been received as a result
of the posted Public Notice or circulation to surrounding property
owners.
6. STAFF COMMENTS
