This letter is further to the County's preconsultation letter dated August 16, 2005 : , Specifically, the proposed official plan amendment (OPA) seeks to redesignate the subject landS from the Township's Agricultural designation to the Commercial designation. !the rezoning application proposes to amend the zoning for the site from the Agricultural/Rural ~one to the General Commercial Exception zone. The zoning exception will limit the nature of the uses on the site to highway commercial uses. The property is designated Rural & Agricultu(al in the Simcoe County Official Plan with agricultural policies currently applicable. ! The applicant has submitted various studies in support of the above applications. Of particular note, the Agricultural Viability Assessment has concluded that the property's size is! not conducive to cultivation with modem famn machinery. Neither have any unique microhabitat . ' conditions or soils for specialty crop production been identified on the site. The assessment has determined that the proposed commercial activity on the property will have no adverse irrlpact on agricultural uses in the surrounding area. If th l Further to Section 3.6.7 of the Simcoe County Official Plan, if the subject property :was redesignated, commercial uses permitted on the site should be limited to highway commercial uses. Highway commercial uses are permitted, Fccording to the rural polices of the County's Rural & Agricultural designation. Upon review of the accompanying Planning Analysis (Mi'-IBC planning, January 2006), County staff note that the range of uses proposed in the rezqning application allows uses that are beyond the scope of what the County considers "higrnway CORPORATE SERVICES Fax:705-726-9832 Apr 4 2006 14:22 P.U<! . , bj ~, '. commercial". The County defines highway commercial uses as "those which provide a serVice to the traveling public and include uses such as automotive servicing, accommodation, tourist, . craft and special feature establishments, and restaurants." Given the examples provided in ~he County definition, the following uses proposed by the rezoning application do not seem to m'eet the intent of what is considered highway commerciai: . . Convenience retail stores . Farm implement dealers . Landscaping and/or garden supply outlet . Marine sales and service establishment . . Retail stores . Trailer or mobile home sales establishment Notwithstanding the above, it is understood that the applicant wishes to expand the existing landscaping supply operation. The County has' no objection to limited expansion of the eXisting operation, but the County Official Plan directs future similar uses to settlement areas, business parks or special development areas. It is also requested that business offices only be alloWed provided they are accessory to a permitted use. In addition, the subject property is highly viSible from Highway 11. Site' plan control is a potential means for the local municipality to fu~her guide the detailed design of future development. i Therefore, the County of Simcoe has no objection to the proposed Official Plan Amendment, I subject to the comments above. It should be noted that in accordance with Section 4.11 of t~e County of Simcoe Official Plan, this application is also subject to all other applicable Provincial, County and Local policies and by-laws. i If you require more infonmation or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 705-726-9300 Ex!. 1360. i Sincerely, ~~ Nathan Westendorp, B.E.S.
