he proposed amendment would change the zoning of lands lying on the south side of
T
Kintyre Line east of Clachan Road, being part of Lot A, Concession V, from the
Agricultural (A1) Zone to the Rural Residential Three (RR3) Zone and to the ‘site-
.
specific’ Agricultural (A1-#) Zone
The re-zoning is necessary to maintain compliance with the Zoning By-law and to fulfill a
condition imposed by the County of Elgin Land Division Committee in granting
permission to sever a parcel occupied by an existing single unit dwelling out of a larger
30.4 hectare (75 acre) parcel (Application for Consent E111/05). The dwelling is
considered surplus to the needs of the farm. The criteria to create a lot to dispose of a
surplus farm dwelling set out in the Township of Aldborough Official Plan and the
Provincial Policy Statement are capable of being satisfied.
The parcel proposed to be zoned Rural Residential Three (RR3)comprises a
rectangularly-shaped parcel having an area of 3,500 square metres (0.9 acres), a depth
of 70 metres (230 ft) and a frontage of 50 metres (164 feet). The surplus farm dwelling
situated on the lot was erected circa 1975. The permitted uses of the RR3 zone include
a single unit dwelling, a home occupation and an accessory use. The lot would satisfy
the minimum lot area, maximum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements (1,850
sq. m., 4,000 sq ft & 30 m respectively) of the RR3 zone.
The parcel proposed to be zoned ‘site-specific’ Agricultural (A1-#) comprises the
remainder of the lands having a frontage of 463 metres (1518 feet) on Clachan Road
and an area of 30.1 hectares (74.4 acres). The ‘site-specific’ A1-# zoning would prohibit
the erection of a dwelling on the lands in accordance with the Official Plan and a
