REPORT NO. : P-124-81 SUBJECT: Objection to By-law 81-52 -- Part of Lot 25, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington (G. Gerrits) RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that: 1. This report be received; and 2. The Planning and Development Committee recommend to Council that the following resolution be adopted and forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board: "WHEREAS the Town of Newcastle has considered all of the objections to Restricted Area By-law 81-52; and WHEREAS the Town of Newcastle is satisfied that the proposed By-law is in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan in that the Official Plan allows a Municipality to recognize an existing use; and WHEREAS the Ministry of Agriculture and Food have no objections to the proposal; BE IT NOW RESOLVED that the Town of Newcastle hereby requests the Ontario Municipal Board to approve By-law 81-52, and - 2 - hereby authorizes Planning staff and the Town Solicitor to attend any hearing that may be convened in respect of the By-law on behalf of the Town." BACKGROUND: Town Council approved By-law 81-52 on May 4, 1981 rezoning a 5.7 hectare (14.0 acre) parcel of land located in Lot 25, Concession 3, Darlington to recognize the existing uses of the property. As a result of the circulation of the By-law, one objection was received (copy attached) . The objector is apparently concerned that the rezoning of the property to recognize existing uses represents a loss of agricultural land and would be more suitably located in an industrial area. Staff note that the Ministry of Agriculture has not objected to the proposal on the basis that the property is not in agricultural use and that there is a lack of agricultural activity in the surrounding area. Staff note that the subject land is approximately 14 acres in area and as such may not be considered a viable agricultural parcel. Staff feel that the rezoning, while allowing for some expansion of the existing uses, does not represent a serious intrusion into the area, nor represents a significant loss of agricultural land. Staff recommend that the By-law be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval with the resolution contained within the recommendation. Respectfully submitted, DNS:lb D. N Smith, M.C.I.P.
