THAT a copy of Council's decision be forwarded to the interested parties indicated hereto. 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 amended. The application was filed by Fowler, Davies on behalf of Carlo 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. 521 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. ...3 REPORT NO.: PD -55 -89 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. M 523 REPORT NO.: PD -55 -89 PAGE 4 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 6.1 The rezoning as submitted was received by Staff and circulated to the various commenting agencies. The applicant has been informed that additional information would be required in order to consider the site plan in conjunction with the zoning amendment. To date, Staff have not received any further information to support the application. Staff note that in consideration of the Official Plan policies (Section 11.2.10) as outlined above, Staff cannot process the rezoning application further, until an appropriate site plan has been submitted. 7. RECOMMENDATION 7.1 The purpose of this Report is to satisfy the requirements of the Planning Act and provide the public an opportunity to state concerns regarding the application.
