TOWN OF GREATER NAPANEE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING

The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Greater Napanee intends to consider a Zoning By-law Amendment to Zoning By-law 02-22. Pursuant to Section 34(12) of the Planning Act (R.S.O. 1990), Council will hold a public meeting on March, 9, 2021, to outline the content and effect of the zoning by-law amendment, as well as showing the lands affected.  All those interested are hereby invited to attend the public meeting and express their view on the Zoning By-law amendment.

PURPOSE

A Zoning By-law Amendment application (PLZACO 2021 003) was received from Mark and Brad Lambert at 9481 County Road 2 to fulfill conditions of Consent Application PLCOR 2020 004.  The by-law would prohibit the establishment of a residence on the land to be retained, which is merging with an adjoining farm property, and will recognize its frontage of 80 metres.  The remaining 0.6 hectares is occupied by a residence that has become surplus. The subject site is designated ‘Agricultural’ in the Official Plan and is zoned Prime Agriculture (PA) in Zoning By-law 02-22.

As the lands are designated ‘Prime Agricultural’, rezoning of the retained lands, together with those to which they are being added, to a site-specific Prime Agriculture Zone (PA-X) is required to prohibit residential uses in compliance with Official Plan policy and, to recognize their frontage of 80 metres as well as 2m interior side yard setback for an existing machine shed.

The severed parcel is required to be rezoned to a site specific Prime Agriculture Zone (PA-XX) to permit the existing residence, recognize the lot area of 0.6ha, height of the existing accessory building of 10m and, restrict its use to non-agricultural activities, as well as recognize a 2m interior side yard setback for the accessory building.

EFFECT OF THE ZONING BY-LAW REQUEST

The zoning by-law amendment will permit 31 hectares to be added to an adjoining 13 hectare agricultural parcel, recognising the frontage, and side yard deficiencies as well as prohibiting its use for residential development.  It will also limit the remaining 0.6 hectare parcel to residential and accessory residential uses while recognizing the height and side yard of the existing accessory structure.

LOCATION OF PROPERTY

The property is located at 9481 County Road 2.  The lands are legally described as Part of Lot 4, Concession 1 in the geographic Township of Richmond, Town of Greater Napanee, as shown on the Key Map.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

The lands are subject to consent application PLCOR 2020 004.
