6. Zoning By-law
6.1 1960 Baseline Road is currently zone General Industrial (M2) and1972 Baseline Road is
zoned Agricultural (A). A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit the proposed
industrial use expansion on 1972 Baseline Road. The amendment would rezone the
portion of the property identified in Figure 1 from “Agricultural (A) Zone” to “Holding -
Light Industrial Exception (M1-4) Zone”. The M1-4 zone permits all uses within the
Light Industrial (M1) Zone and also permits an auto cartage or transportation depot and
yard, which is a freight transport use under the Official Plan. A by-law will be forwarded
to Council to remove the holding provision once the conditions of site plan approval
have been met.
6.2 1960 Baseline Road would continue to be zoned General Industrial (M2) which permits
a cartage or transportation depot and yard.
