expansion or enlargement of existing uses" . In consideration of
these policies, the application complies with the Official Plan.

he supported Goodyear's amendment, he was concerned that his access

subject to Ontario Regulation 161/80 and that written permission
from the Conservation Authority must be obtained prior to any
filling or grading on the site.

9 . 1 This proposal will not only direct truck traffic away from

plant access making it more accessible and aesthetically pleasing.
For these reasons, Staff have no objection to this application to
amend the zoning by-law.
9 .2 Staff note that Mrs . Beverly Ferguson's concerns can be dealt with
when the site plan agreement is prepared.

Goodyear, and the site plan agreement is registered.
10. CONCLUSION
