Part 1 — The Preamble
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to amend the wording within the
Craighurst Secondary Plan within the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan in
order to permit the Proposed Development and to amend Schedule F —
Craighurst Secondary Plan in the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan.
The intent of the Official Plan Amendment is to amend certain policies within
Section C18 — Craighurst Secondary Plan as they specifically apply to the
subject site in order to permit the development of a Restaurant with a Drive-Thru
component as well as enable the potential future expansion of the existing
mixed-use commercial/residential building.
1.2 Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are located at 3239 Penetanguishene
Road and are legally described as Part of Lot 40, Concession 1 E.P.R.
(Geographic Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe.
1.3 Basis
The purpose of this Official Plan Amendment is to permit a Restaurant with a
Drive-Thru component as well as an expansion to the existing mixed-use
commercial/residential building on the subject site.
As written, the Craighurst Secondary Plan effectively freezes new development
within the Community of Craighurst until such time as full municipal services are
made available, comprehensive urban design guidelines have been prepared,
and a comprehensive parking study has been completed. It is understood that full
municipal services will not be made available within the Community of Craighurst
in the near future. It is appropriate that limited infill development and limited
redevelopment should be permitted to occur in the interim on those within the
Core Area, if it can be demonstrated that matters of servicing, parking, urban
design and the future efficient use of land can be appropriately planned for on
site, without negatively impacting the long-term policy intent of the Official Plan
with respect to servicing, urban design and parking within the Craighurst Rural
Settlement Area.
The proposed development would be serviced by a private on-site septic system,
low -impact development Stormwater management techniques and a drilled well
as demonstrated in the accompanying Servicing Report prepared by Gerrits
Engineering Limited.
In the absence of comprehensive Urban Design Guidelines for the Community of
Craighurst, site specific Urban Design Guidelines have been prepared by MHBC
Planning that address the Urban Design vision laid out within the Craighurst
Secondary Plan in the short to medium term as well as to provide a foundation to
build on in the long term if/when comprehensive Urban Design Guidelines are
prepared for the whole community. The design components focus on walkability
of the community and recognizing recreational, logging and agricultural heritage
of the area.
In order to address the Craighurst Secondary Plan, policies regarding a
comprehensive parking strategy being prepared for the Community have been
considered. The site has been designed to accommodate the required parking
on-site. Additional traffic considerations both internal to the site as well as on the
surrounding road network have been addressed by the Traffic Impact Study
prepared by JD Northcote Engineering Inc.
The request to redesignate the landlocked rear portion of the subject site within
the Craighurst Secondary Plan from "Living Area" to "Core Area" is considered to
be appropriate as it is immediately adjacent to the existing "Core Area" of
Craighurst as well as the main intersection of two County Roads.
Additionally, due to the irregular lot fabric that effectively land locks the Living
Area portion of the subject property, the redesignation to Core Area will better
enable orderly development in accordance with the intent of the Official Plan.
Part 2 — The Amendment
2.1 Preamble
2.1 All of this part of the document entitled "Part 2 — The Amendment' consisting
of the following text and map schedule "A" constitute Amendment No. 40 to the
Official Plan for the Township of Oro-Medonte.
The lands affected by this Amendment are located at 3239 Penetanguishene
Road and are legally described as Part of Lot 40, Concession 1 E.P.R.
(Geographic Township of Oro), Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe.
2.2 Details of the Amendment
2.2.1 Text Amendment
Section C18.15 of the Official Plan is amended by adding a new Section
C18.15.1 asset out below:
"C18.15.1 — Part of Lot 40, Concession 1 E.P.R. (Oro), Township of Oro-
Medonte.
a) Notwithstanding the policies of Section C18.4.2.5 — Parking Management,
which recommends a comprehensive parking management strategy to be
completed as new development occurs in the Core Area designation,
development in the Core Area Exception designation shall be permitted to
proceed without the need for a comprehensive parking management strategy
being completed if it can be demonstrated that sufficient parking can be provided
on-site to accommodate the proposed uses in accordance with the requirements
of the Township Zoning By-law.
b) Notwithstanding the policies of Section C18.4.2.3, C18.4.2.4 and C18.4.2.6 —
Urban Design, which require the preparation of detailed Urban Design and
Streetscape Guidelines for the area before development occurs, development in
the Core Area Exception designation shall be permitted to proceed if supported
by site specific Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines that consider the
Urban Design vision that is detailed within the Craighurst Secondary Plan.
c) Notwithstanding the policies of Section C18.8 — Servicing, which require all
new development within the Craighurst Secondary Plan Area to be serviced by
municipal water and sewer services and Stormwater management facilities,
development in the Core Area Exception designation shall be permitted to
proceed on private individual on-site sewage services, private individual on-site
water services and private Stormwater management facilities if municipal
services are not available. It is understood that once municipal water and sewage
services and stormwater management facilities are available, the development
will be required to connect to these services. At such time as this occurs, the
private individual septic bed lands may be developed or re -developed for other
uses permitted in the Core Area Exception designation, subject to the owner
obtaining all required Planning Act approvals and other agency permissions.
d) Notwithstanding the policies of Section C18.9.3 — Staging and Phasing Plan,
which require a Development Phasing Plan be prepared for the Craighurst
Secondary Plan Area before any new major development occurs, development in
the Core Area Exception designation shall be permitted to proceed ahead of a
Development Phasing Plan being prepared for the Craighurst Secondary Plan
Area. The basis for development proceeding is that subject site is already
developed, and any additional development can be considered as infill
development within the already established Core Area of the Four Corners.
e) Development of the subject lands shall be subject to site plan control approval
and a site plan control agreement. The application for site plan control shall be
accompanied by the appropriate supporting technical studies and/or reports as
required by the Township of Oro-Medonte pursuant to the Township's
Development Engineering Policies, Process and Design Standards, including the
following:
1. Archaeological Assessment to the satisfaction of the Township and the
Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport;
2. Traffic Impact Study to the satisfaction of the Township and the County of
Simcoe; and
3. Stormwater Management Report to the satisfaction of the Township and the
County of Simcoe.
2.2.2 Map Amendment
Schedule F - Craighurst Secondary Plan is hereby amended by re -designating
the lands as shown on Schedule "A" attached hereto from the "Core Area" and
"Living Area" designations to the "Core Area Exception" designation and
indicating the lands shown on Schedule "A" attached hereto as subject to Section
C18.15.1.
2.3 Implementation
The provisions of the Official Plan regarding the implementation of that Plan shall
also apply to this Amendment. Furthermore, this Amendment shall be
implemented through an Amendment to the Township of Oro-Medonte's Zoning
By-law No. 97-95, as amended, passed pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning
Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P 13, and through application(s) for Site Plan Control
Approval pursuant to Section 41 of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P 13.
