Part 1 — The Preamble
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to amend the wording in Section
C1.4 Agricultural designation and to amend Schedule A in the Township of Oro-
Medonte Official Plan.
The intent of the Official Plan Amendment is to amend the text of Section C1.4 —
Exceptions to add a new site-specific policy that would permit a motor vehicle
repair garage and well drilling business as on-farm diversified uses that are
secondary to the agricultural use of the property.
1.2 Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are located at 3674 Line 8 North and are
legally described as NE Part of Lot 2 & SE Part of Lot 3, Concession 8
(Medonte), Township of Oro-Medonte.
1.3 Basis
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to permit a motor vehicle repair
garage and well drilling business as on-farm diversified uses that are secondary
to the agricultural use of the property and that will remain limited in scale within
an existing accessory building.
The uses would to utilize existing infrastructure (existing building, driveway and
parking area) and are located in such a manner as to be substantially screened
from view from surrounding properties by way of an existing dense coniferous
tree buffer. Considerations such as traffic and noise have been examined and
their impacts are not considered significant. Therefore, the uses will not have a
negative impact on the character or function of the surrounding agricultural area
or on the use and enjoyment of nearby dwellings.
The amendment permits uses that are on-farm diversified uses that are
consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 and that conform to the
County of Simcoe Official Plan and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden
Horseshoe.
