DATE: Monday, December 15, 1986
REPORT #: PD-299-86 FILE #: DEV 86-61
SUBJECT: REZONING APPLICATION - STABY
PART LOT 27, BROKEN FRONT CONCESSION, FORMER TWP. OF CLARKE
OUR FILE: DEV 86-61
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-299-86 be received; and
2. THAT the application for rezoning of Part of Lot 27, Broken Front Concession ,
former Township of Clarke (Bond Head), submitted by Mr. & Mrs. Staby to permit the
extension of a Node/Cluster be tabled to permit the applicant to apply for an
Official Plan Amendment.
BACKGROUND:
On October 10, 1986, the Planning Department received an application for rezoning
submitted by Mr. & Mrs. Staby. The application was filed in order to change the zoning to
permit the development of one (1) additional residential lot.
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.

REPORT NO.: PD-299-86 Page 2
In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated
to obtain comments from other departments and agencies as noted within Staff
Report PD-266-86. Staff would note the following departments/agencies, in
providing comments, offered no objections to the application as filed:
- Newcastle Community Services Department
- Newcastle Fire Department
- Newcastle Building Department
- Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority
- Ministry of Agriculture and Food
- Bell Canada
The concerns regarding this application are raised by the Regional Planning
Department. Staff requested comments on this application and have received
a verbal response. This indicated that the proposal does not conform to the
Regional Official Plan. The subject lands are designated as "Permanent
Agriculture Reserve". Section 11.2.2 states that: "the use of land within
a designated "Permanent Agricultural Reserve" area for any purpose other
than agriculture and farm-related uses shall not be permitted".
Section 16.6.5 of the Regional Official Plan does allow for the expansion to
existing uses provided that such uses:
"a) have no adverse effect on the present uses of the
surrounding lands or the implementation of the provisions of
this Plan;
b) have regard for the Agriculture Code of Practice as amended
from time to time, if applicable;
c) are accessible by a public road which is maintained by the
appropriate authority as open to traffic on a year-round basis
and is of a standard construction adequate to provide for the
additional traffic generated by the proposed use; and
d) are subject to any conditions that may be contained in a
District Plan.
Each case will be considered on its own merits by the Council of
the respective area municipality and may be subject to site plan
controls."

REPORT NO.: PD-299-86 Page 3
There is a section which deals directly with the Bond Head area, and this
section clearly sets out the limits of the Residential Cluster. The subject
site does not fall within the designated Cluster. Section 16.6.5 does not
permit this type of expansion because Section 10.2.1.6 specifically details
the type of development which is permitted.
Section 10.2.1.6 of the Regional Official Plan does not permit any
expansion to the existing Cluster without an amendment to the Official Plan.
This Section and Section 10.2.1.8 detail the terms under which development
is permitted in this area. It is clear that the terms set out cannot be met
in this case. The site would be required to have municipal water and such
service is available only on Mill and Boulton Streets. The Regional Works
Department has confirmed that services are not currently available nor will
they be made available.
After consideration of the above information, although we have no concern
with the principle of the proposal , we are unable to support the
application due to the lack of conformity with the Regional Official Plan.
The site is presently in the "Permanent Agriculture Reserve" and was not
considered as a part of the Cluster at the time Amendment No. 72 was put
into place. Since 'the site does not conform to the Official Plan, but could
for a logical extension to same, Staff respectfully recommends that Council
table the application to permit the applicant to apply for an Official Plan
Amendment.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee
