REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF October 1, 1979.
REPORT NO.: P-175-79
SUBJECT: Application for Rezoning Number Z -A-1-16-1
Part of Lots 32 and 33, Concession 8, former
Township of Darlington - Salvatore Roti
RA ('K(_R nTTMn -
The subject application requests an amendment to the Darlington
Zoning By-law for a portion of a 71.0 hectare (175 acre) parcel of
land in part of Lots 32 and 33, Concession 8, former Township of Darl-
ington. The applicant proposes to build and operate a "cheese factory"
on his property.
The site is designated "Permanent Agricultural Reserve" in the
Region of Durham Official Plan. The proposed cheese factory operation
is considered an agricultural use under the provisions of Section 11.2.3
of the Official Plan and would, therefore, conform with the policies of
the Plan.
The site is presently zoned "Agriculture" in the Darlington Zoning
By-law. However, a "Special Condition" would have to be applied to this
property to permit this use. t

The application was circulated to the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, the Durham
Regional Health Unit, Durham Planning Department and Durham Works,
Newcastle Fire Department, Newcastle Building Department, Newcastle
Public Works Department, and Ontario Hydro for comment.
The Durham Planning and Works Departments submitted the
following comments:
"The subject lands are designated "Permanent Agricultural
Reserve" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. The pre-
sence of hazard lands is indicated on a portion of the
site. The Plan permits the use of lands, buildings or
structures for agriculture and farm -related uses including
dairy animals and dairy products. Proposal conforms.
With respect to Regional services, sanitary sewer and
water supply services are not available to the subject
lands and there are no plans to extend services to this
particular area. Due to the commercial/industrial nature
of this proposal, there are no financial planning impli-
cations with respect to the current development policies
of the Regional Municipality of Durham."
The Durham Health Unit provided the following comment:
"Further to this application, please be advised that the
Durham Regional health Unit offers no objection to the
rezoning, provided that plans are submitted for a sewage
disposal system which meets with the approval of the
Ministry of Environment, as well as the Durham Regional
Health Unit."
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority submitted the
following:
"The sketch accompanying the rezoning application appears to
indicate that a majority of lots 32 and 33 are to be sub-
ject to a special provision to permit the construction of a
cheese factory and the production of agricultural dairy
products. We are not in favour of the entire area shown on
the referred to sketch being rezoned to permit the said
activities since portions of lots 32 and 33 are flood susceptible
ments:

and/or indicated highly sensitive in the Authority's sensitive
areas report. The Authority would, however, have no objection
to the rezoning of the lands shown as "proposed cheese factory"
on the submitted drawing."
The Newcastle Building Department submitted the following com-
"The proposed use is more industrial than agricultural and
construction requirements for the building would fall under
an industrial classification."
The following agencies had no objection to the proposed rezoning:
Newcastle Fire Department
i
Newcastle Works Department
Ontario Hydro
Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
COMMENTS:
Since the use proposed appears to be related to an agricultural
operation and would appear to conform to the policies of the Durham
Official Plan, we would have no objection to the subject application
for rezoning.
However, because this area primarily consists of rural uses, we
would prefer to minimize the scale of this development and to take into
consideration the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's concerns,
and therefore suggest that only a portion of the site be rezoned.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1. That application for rezoning Number Z -A-1-16-1 be approved;
2. That the attached By-law Number 79- be forwarded to Council
for approval.
Respectfully submitted,
