3. Discussion
3.1 The (H) Holding Symbol is a provision enabled by the Official Plan to ensure that certain
obligations have been considered prior to development and redevelopment of the lands.
This includes: servicing, access, protection of natural areas, measures to mitigate the
impact of development, submission of required studies, execution of agreements and any
other requirements as may be deemed necessary by Council including the
implementation of the policies of the Official Plan.
3.2 The subject property is zoned “Holding - Agricultural Exception ((H) A-89) Zone” and
permits agri-tourism uses, including a proposed wedding and event venue, and all
permitted uses in the parent Agricultural (A) Zone.
3.3 Council must be satisfied that the provisions of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law are
met prior to removing the Holding symbol and release of building permits. Conditions of
site plan approval include:
Conditions relating to use of most easterly entrance along Concession Road 3 for
event traffic to alleviate neighbours’ concerns;
Special requirements for the agri-tourism events;
Securities in the amount of $2,100 for entrance improvements and paving;
Cash payment in the amount $2,500 for future installation of street light along
Concession Road 3; and
Road Damage deposit of $1,000.
3.4 The applicant will be required to enter into a site plan agreement and satisfy all financial
requirements with the Municipality prior to obtaining any permits for the agri-tourism
venue. Although the development agreement has not been executed, in consideration of
Council recess for the summer, staff recommend lifting the ‘H’ symbol at this time.
3.5 All property taxes have been paid in full.

Not applicable

In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the removal of the (H) Holding
Symbol for 3238 Concession Road 3, as shown on the attached By-law and schedule
