Executive Summary: The following provides a summary of the Township's Official Plan Amendment: Location: Part of Lot 20, Concession 11, (Oro), known municipally as 3982 Highway 11, Township of Oro-Medonte (Schedule 1). Applicant: Heidi's RV Campground Proposal: To amend the Official Plan of the Township of Oro-Medonte by re -designating approximately 23.5 hectares (58.07 acres) of the subject lands from the "Agricultural" to "Agricultural Exception" and to designate a portion of the subject lands that contain key natural heritage features to the "Environmental Protection Two" Overlay. File No.: OM-OPA-1333 Background/Analysis/Options: The subject lands proposed for re -designation consist of 23.5 hectares (58.07 acres) and possess 340 metres of frontage along Oro-Medonte Line 11 North and 382 metres of frontage along Highway 11 South. The subject lands are contained within two separate parcels, comprised of 39.7 hectares (98 acres) of land in total, both of which are currently designated "Agricultural." Approximately 16.23 hectares will remain in the "Agricultural" designation if Official Plan Amendment No. 33 is approved. The Amendment proposes to re -designate the existing campground from "Agricultural" to "Agricultural Exception." The Amendment will also re -designate a portion of the abutting parcel to "Agricultural 27, 2014 Committee of the Whole CCW int 87 2 Exception" and "Environmental Protection Two" Overlay to allow for an expansion of the campground operation from approximately 160 campsites to approximately 260 campsites. The proposed campground expansion would be approximately 6.24 hectares (15.42 acres) in area, in addition to the 17.2 hectares (42.6 acres) currently operating as a campground. The subject lands are designated "Agricultural" in the Township's Official Plan; therefore are subject to the General, and Agricultural policies of the County of Simcoe Official Plan. The County's Agricultural policies generally do not permit non-agricultural uses within the "Agricultural" designation, however, "General Subdivision and Development" Policy 3.3.9 allows for expansion or enlargement of legally existing uses which do not conform to the designation within the Plan. Although designated "Agricultural," the parcel fronting Highway 11 South has operated continuously as a campground since 1983 and is zoned Agricultural/Rural Exception 92 in the Township Zoning By-law, which permits a camping establishment. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), 2014 provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Section 2.3.6.1 of the PPS provides a set of criteria whereby planning authorities may permit limited non-agricultural uses in an Agricultural designation. An Agricultural Impact Assessment as well as a Supply, Demand and Policy Analysis Report were completed (and subsequently peer reviewed), which demonstrated the proposed campground expansion meets the criteria to permit the limited non-residential use in the prime agricultural area. In addition, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) provides guidance in Sections 2.2.2.9 and 2.2.2.1(i) regarding the management or use of resources, resource-based recreational activities, and rural land uses that cannot be located in settlement areas. The proposed re- designation to expand a seasonal campground is in keeping with the Growth Plan. During the County's review of Official Plan Amendment No. 33, County planning staff in conjunction with staff from the Township and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, modified the Official Plan Amendment. The modifications include changes to the mapping as well as edits to the text of the Amendment, however, the proposed modifications do not alter the principles of the policies. In keeping with the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, Official Plan Amendment No. 33 has been modified from its original version (Schedule 2) adopted by Township of Oro-Medonte By-law No. 2013-061 to recognize key natural heritage features on the subject lands, including a significant woodland and a significant valleyland feature. Through consultation with staff from the Township and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, it was determined that the "Environmental Protection Two" (EP2) Overlay was an appropriate measure to protect and buffer these features. Consequently, further editorial modifications were added to the proposed Official Plan Amendment to ensure that future development is subject to Site Plan Control and that the lands subject to the EP2 Overlay be ecologically enhanced through a restoration plan subject to the satisfaction of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. A Township Staff Report (Schedule 3) outlining the proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment No. 33 have been endorsed by Township Council. Following Township Council's adoption of the Amendment, the Province released an update to the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), with an in -effect date of April 30, 2014. As a result of the timing between the Amendment's adoption by Township Council and the in -effect date of the PPS, 2014, additional modifications to the text of the adopted Amendment are required in order to be consistent with the PPS, 2014. The modifications are centred on the PPS, 2014 policies related to lands in prime agricultural areas. The effect of the additional modifications proposed through CCW 14-187 will keep the subject lands within the "Agricultural" designation, but will permit a seasonal campground operation as a recreational use on the lands as an "Exception". These modifications are consistent with PPS, F'. AP111 of the Whole CCW 14-187 2014 Section 2.3.6.1, which outlines the criteria for limited non-agricultural uses in prime agricultural areas. County staff has proposed the following modifications, as noted below, to those already . endorsed and adopted by Township Council. Township staff has agreed to the additional modifications proposed through CCW 14-187. The proposed Amendment and associated proposed modifications for the Township of Oro-Medonte's Official Plan is in keeping with the policies of the County Official Plan and the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014. Proposed Official Plan Amendment No. 33 Modifications: The following modifications are proposed for Official Plan Amendment No. 33: 1. Part B — The Amendment — Section 1.0 is modified by adding 'from Agricultural" after "the Township of Oro-Medonte," as well as replacing to "Recreational" with to "Agricultural Exception" and "Environmental Protection Two Overlay." 2. Part B — The Amendment — Section 1.0 is modified by adding the following text: C.1.4.3 — Part of Lot 20, Concession 11, (Oro) Notwithstanding any other policy in this Plan, a seasonal campground is permitted on the lands shown to be subject to this Section on Schedule A of this Plan. Site plan control approval or other legal agreement on title in accordance with the policies contained in this Plan, shall be required prior to the development of the site. In addition to the policies of the Plan and the requirements of Section 41 of the Planning Act, if applicable, the agreement shall contain measures to maximize the ecological function of the lands subject to the "Environmental Protection Two" Overlay as shown in Schedule A, by enhancing this area with native plantings, subject to a restoration plan to the satisfaction of the Township and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.

CORPORATE SEAL OF TOWNSHIP Official Plan Amendment No.33 Page 1 Heidi's RV Campground Township of Oro-Medonte Schedule 2 Committee of the Whole CCW 14187 Page 2 of 7 THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT The following Amendment to the Official Plan for the Township of Oro-Medoute consists of three parts: PART A — THE PREAMBLE PART B —THE AMENDMENT PART C — THE APPENDICES Official Plan Amendment No.33 Heidi's RV Campground Consists of the purpose, location and basis for the Amendment and does not constitute part of the actual Amendment. Consisting of the following text and Schedule "A" constitute Amendment N0.33 to the Official Plan of the Township of Oro-Medonte. Consists of the background information and planning considerations associated with this Amendment. This section does not constitute part of the actual amendment. Page 2 Township of O:o-Medonte Schedule 2 Committee of the Whole CCW 14187 .Page 3 of 7 PART A — THE PREAMBLE LO PURPOSE The purpose of this amendment is - to redesignate lands from "Agtic ltutaP, to "Recreational", to accurately reflect the current use:of the site. Furthermoiq this amendment, and an implementing Zoning By-law Amendment, is intended to facilitate an expansion to the existing campground found on the site. 2.0 LOCATION The properties subject to this amendment, ate located on the north side of Highway 11 while being adjacent to and on the west side of Township Line 11. The properties are legally described as Part of Lot 20, Concession 11, in the Township of Oso-Medonte, County of Simcoe. The subject properties consist of 39.7 ha (98 acres) and possesses 340 m (1115 ft) frontage along Oro-Medonte Line 11 North and 382 m (1253 ft) along Highway 11 South. 3.0 BASIS The lands currently possess a long standing family oriented Recreational Campground (HeiRs) which has been in existence since 1983. The campground consists of approximately 160 total sites. On January 4d, 2010 the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) issued notification to Heidi's RV Campground via an "Onsite Sewage Disposal Site inspection Report", that their respective septic system and tile fields were unacceptable and failing. The applicant, as well as the MOF, each realized that a new sewage treatment facility is required to service the trailers on site. Such a sewage treatment facility requires a very high capital expenditure. Through consultation with Township & County Staff, it was determined that the entire site (cutrent and proposed areas) should be re -designated to a more appropriate category through an OPA. The proposed amendment will alter the current designation from Agricultural to Recreational to better reflect the existing and proposed land use. This amendment will allow for the expansion of the campground by 6.24 hectares (15.42 acres) respectively. The total combined area (current & expansion) to be redesignated from Agricultural to Recreational is 23.47 hectares (58.00 acres). To put the subject property in better context, the surrounding land uses are as follows: North: Agricultural lands and entities exist to the north. The adjacent parcel of land to the existing Campground is owned by the applicant.

Highway 11, beyond, which is Hawkestone Creek and the environmental lands associated with it Further south is the settlement lures of Hawkestone and the shores of lake Simcoe East: Big Curve Acta Farm exists to the East . Highway 11 exists to the East as well, beyondwhich lies more Agricultural. lands within the Township. West: Heals RV Superstom a sales centre for travel ttailers and recreational vehicles, is positioned to the West, beyond. Hawkestone Creek. and fronting' Highway 11. Several commercial entities are positioned on, the opposite side of Highway 11, West of the subject site. Behind these commercial entities exists Trehaven Golf Course. As Highway 11 exists directly south, Township Line 11 directly east; and Hawkestone Creek directly west of the existing campground, the only feasible direction for expansion is to the north. The layout and position of the proposed expansion ams has been designed to mesh with the current configuration, allow for easy access, allow for an abundance of area for the new sewage treatment facility, as well as respect all necessary Minimum Distance Separation setbacks to existing agricultural operations. If is felt that the proposed expansion area is the most logical, and only suitable size and location for expansion of the campground. As a result of the expansion, approximately one hundred (100) new trailer spaces will be created. The development is proposed to be serviced with the existing private communal water supply and a new wastewater treatment facility. The expansion area camper sites have been designed larger than the existing sites to allow for it larger trailer size (40) within the past two decades. The proposed expansion sites ate of the same configuration as the existing sites to ensure optimum design and integration. The subject applications and proposed development should be seen as improving and sustaining the local economy. Heidi's RV Campground draws the travelling public from surrounding regions to Oro-Medonte. As such, the proposed expansion should be viewed as development and diversification of the tourism industry in Oro-Medonte. The Township should encourage the retention and expansion of this existing business. A comprehensive Agricultural Impact Assessment has bees completed with respect to the proposed expansion lands, and included with this submission. This study concludes the proposed expansion does not represent incompatible development and will not have any negative effect on the flexibility and efficiency of surrounding Agricultural operations. A Traffic Impact Study has been completed substantiating that the existing roadways can accommodate the traffic generated by the expansion. A Functional Servicing Report has also been completed displaying no negative impacts to the surrounding lands will result from the proposed expansion. As Heidi's RV Campground is an existing and long standing recreational use within the township, it should be considered compatible with the surrounding rural and agricultural character based on the premise that these uses have coexisted and caused no negative impact to one another for the two decades. The Official Plan dictates the Township must Official Plan Amendment No.33 page 4 Heidi's RV Campground Township of Oro-Medonte Schedule 2 C' C Committee of the Whole CCW 14187 Page, 5 of 7 encourage the expansion and diversification of recreational uses, such that Heidi's can take Advantage of the market potential, as is the goal of this amendment As the proposed expansion is smaller in both overall area as well as unit count than the existing RV Campground, it should be considered minor in nature. The subject development win respect and have no negative. impact on the rural character or natural heritage system within the Township. The development will also permit the recreational and tourism use in Heid?s RV Campground to exist and thrive; per the Official Place. The ratite site is cuttesdy serviced with private communal water and sewage disposal services, as is most appropriate for the location of this lot and development In conjunction with these applications, a state of the an sewage disposal system will be installed to the subject lands to service the site. Sufficient and appropriate supply of water currently exists and services the existing Campground as discussed in the Functional Servicing Report Heals RV Campground is considered a passive and active recreational use currently providing recreation and leisure opportunities within the Township. As such it ispermitted under the Recreational designation. The expansion Will allow the Campground to viably exist in the future while allowing more local and regional residents to enjoy the recreation. This development will respect the surrounding natural heritage featuresin the font of Hawkestone Creek. The proposed development represents an expansion to an existing use onto lands which are not currently designated Recreational. As such, the Official Plan deems it necessary to complete an Amendment to the Official Plan. The adjacent land uses include both Agricultural as wen as Environmental Protection. As proven by the supporting studies, the proposed expansion is appropriately buffered from these uses and will have no significant impact The existing Campground is contiguous with the surrounding mead character. The proposed expansion will continue to be compatible with the surrounding uses and character. The proposed development is situated in the most appropriate location for expansion of Heidi's RV Campground, on a site along the Highway 11 corridor, in close proximity to the Om-Medonte Line 11 interchange to Highway 11, in order to service both local and regional residents, as well as the travelling public Official Plan Amendment No.33 Page S Heidi's RV Campground Township of Oro-Medonte Schedule 2 Committee of the Whole CCW 14187 Page 8 of 7 PART B — THE AMENDMENT LO DETAILS OF THE AMENDMENT The Official Plan of the Township of Oro-Medonte, as amended is hereby further amended as follows: Schedule A to the Official Plan, as amended, is hereby further amended by designating the lands known as Part of Lot 20, Concession 11, in the Township of Oro-Medonte to "Recreational", as shown on Schedule "A" attached hereto and forming Part of this Amendment 2.0 IMPLEMENTATION Subsequent to the adoption of this Amendment, Council will pass a by-law amending the Comptehensive Zoning By-law as amended, as it relates to the subject land by rezoning these lands into an appropriate zoning category. 3.0 INTERPRETATION The Provisions of the Official Plan as amended from time to time shall apply in regard to this Amendment Official Plan Amendment No.33 Heidi's RV Campground Page 6 Township of Oro-Medonte C Schedule 2 Committee of the Whole CCW 74187 Page 7 of 7 PART C — THE APPENDIX Agricultural Impact Assessment— September 2011 Addendum and Peer Review Response to Agricultural Impact Assessment — June 2012 Functional Servicing Report —August 2011 Traffic Impact Study — September 2011 Planning Justification Report — October 2011 Supply, Demand & Policy Analysis — December 2012 Offuid Plan Amendment No.33 Page 7 HeidYs RV Campground Township of Oro-Medonte C.

That the County of Simcoe be advised of Council's decision Background: The purpose of this report is to consider proposed modifications to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments that were approved by Council in May 2013. The modifications are the result of additional detailed review of the environmental conditions on the north-west portion of the property and additional environmental review work completed by the applicant, through Azimuth Environmental Consulting, to address the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan conformity requirements. The proposed modifications have been reviewed by staff at the Township, County of Simcoe, and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority who all support the modifications being presented to Council. The modifications include: additional lands that are considered significant woodland being designated Environmental Protection Two Overlay and zoned Environmental Protection (EP), a modification to ensure the provisions of Section 5.28 Setback from an Environmental protection zone boundary does not apply within the campground as this Development Services Department March 26, 2014 Report No. DS2014-017 Page 1 of 4 0 Schedule 3 Committee of the Whole CCW 14.187 Page 2 of 4 30 metre setback has already been incorporated within the EP zone, and a modification requiring Site Plan Control in accordance with the Township's Site Plan Control Area bylaw. Analysis: The property is located in the northeast comer of Highway 11 and Line 11. The property is municipally known as 3982 Highway 11 and is legally described as Part of Lot 20, Concession 11, Township of Oro-Medonte. The existing campground has 157 camping sites and was proposed to be expanded to include an additional 110 camp sites. The new sites are designed to accommodate larger trailer sizes in a similar configuration to the existing camp sites. The existing and proposed campground will be serviced by the existing private communal water supply and a new wastewater treatment facility. The Amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law were required to permit the campground expansion. The property is subject to a Holding provision which requires the approval of a Site Plan Agreement with Council prior to building permits being considered. The Site Plan will be required to ensure that the necessary tree buffering, lot grading/drainage, access is identified on a more detailed site plan to be considered by Council and the LSRCA. The Site Plan Agreement is also registered on title which ensures that any future landowner is also obligated by the site plan requirements for any future development. The new requirement for the site plan approval is the completion of a functional servicing report to the satisfaction of the LSRCA and the Township.
