INTRODUCTION
Following the creation of the Township of Oro-Medonte on January 1, 1994, Council
inherited five Official Plans. Each of these Plans had differing philosophies on where
development should be directed and under what conditions development could be
pennitted.
The preparation of this Official Plan began in July 1995 and involved a considerable
number of people with an interest in the future of Oro-Medonte. The process resulted in
a vision of the municipality that is expressed in this Plan. This vision recognizes:
· the location and importance of the environmental features and natural resources of
the Township;
· the rural character of the area;
· the socio-economic characteristics of the area; and,
· the needs of present and future residents.
The goals, objectives and policies contained in this Plan are intended to guide the
decisions of public authorities and private interests in order to maintain the Township as
a livable and attractive community. No public work can be undertaken nor shall any
Zoning By-law that does not confonn with the Official Plan be passed by Council after
the Plan has been approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It is
intended that this Plan serve as the basis for managing change in the Township for the
next 20 years.
In preparing this Official Plan, the Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte has had
regard for the policies of the Provincial government contained in a Policy Statement that
came into effect on May 22, 1996. Upon this Plan's approval by the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, the five Official Plans that formerly applied to the
Township of Oro and the portions of the fonner Township's of Medonte, Orillia, Flos
and Vespra that are now in Oro-Medonte are repealed.

TIlE STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
This Official Plan is divided into nine parts, each of which is described below.
PART A - THE VISION
Part A contains the vision of the municipality. This vision was prepared by Council and
is a reflection of their understanding of past and future trends and the wishes of the
Township's residents. The principles that form the basis of the Plan flow from the
vision. These principles establish the framework for the remaining policies in the Plan.
PART B - THE SETILEMENT AREA AND SERVICING STRATEGY
Part B contains the settlement area and servicing strategy that is intended to ensure that
the Plan's intent is clear on where new residential development will occur and how it will
be serviced.
PART C - LAND USE CONCEPT
Part C describes how different lands are designated in the Plan to assist in the
understanding of how the vision in Part A is to be implemented.
PART D - THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
Part D contains land use policies that apply to lands throughout the Township.
PART E - SPECIAL POLICY AREAS
Part E contains land use policies that apply to the Horseshoe Valley Road area,
Hawkestone and a private recreational park and speedway on the 8th Line in the former
Township of Oro, where specific land use policies are required.
PART F - OVERLAY DESIGNATIONS
Part F of the Plan contains policies dealing with natural heritage areas and groundwater
recharge areas. The uses permitted on the lands affected by these overlay designations are
established by the underlying land use designation, provided the use conforms with the
policies of the overlay designation.

specify the requirements for water resource and stormwater management reports and
environmental impact statements. Policies on natural corridors are also included in this
part of the Plan.
PART H - GENERAL DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
Part H of the Plan contains policies that deal with land use planning matters such as
transportation, the permanent and seasonal occupancy of dwellings and heritage and
archaeological resources that apply to the whole of the Township.
PART J - PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATION
Part J deals with how the vision, goals and objectives of the Official Plan will be
implemented.

SECTION Al - THE VISION
The purpose of this Official Plan is to manage change, to protect the natural heritage
system of Oro-Medonte and to promote the stewardship of the Township's resources so
that they are available for future generations and to do so in a way that has the greatest
positive impact on the quality of life in Oro-Medonte.
According to the people of Oro-Medonte, the excellent quality of life is what makes the
Township a desirable place to live. This quality of life is created, in large part, by the
rural character of the community, the open countryside, farmland, extensive wooded
areas, Lake Simcoe, Bass Lake and a number of small settlement areas. Rather than being
dominated by man-made structures and landscaped yards, the Township has an open,
relatively natural and rural character. These are the qualities that, taken together,
contribute to the identity of the community that is of the greatest importance to the
residents.
The Township has a number of significant environmental and topographical features that
contribute to the 'sense of place' felt by many of the Township's residents. These features
include the rolling upland areas that recharge groundwater to the headwaters of six
watersheds, the vast forest tracts and the healthy wetland areas that support diverse
wildlife communities. These areas, taken together, form parts of a natural heritage system
that extends over a wide area of the Township.
The Oro Moraine is the heart of the natural heritage system of Oro-Medonte. This area
has historically been an area of resource competition, since its topography is attractive for
ski resorts, its natural features are attractive for housing and its mineral aggregate
resources are sought after by the aggregate industry. It is expected that there will
continue to be pressure for development in this area in the future, and it will be the role of
the Official Plan to ensure that any development on this significant natural feature has due
regard for its environmental sensitivity.
The agricultural areas of the Township are also considered to be an important component
of what makes up the character of the community. These areas must be preserved for
future agricultural use so that they can continue to serve an important role in the local
economy. The fragmentation of agricultural areas and the introduction of incompatible
uses in these areas will be strongly discouraged by this Official Plan.
The Township has historically had one of the higher population growth rates in the
County of Simcoe. This is the result of the increasing attractiveness of the Township's
recreational and rural character and its location next to the growing Cities of Barrie and
Orillia where major urban services and employment opportunities are available. The
permanent population of the Township in 1996 was approximately 16,000. In the
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
summer months, the total population swells to approximately 22,000 people as seasonal
residents who live full time in the Greater Toronto Area migrate to their second homes.
This population is concentrated in a number of small rural settlement areas, along the
shoreline of Lake Simcoe and in a number of residential clusters in the central area of the
Township. This Plan anticipates that the existing pattern of development will remain
unchanged in the future.
The County of Simcoe has estimated that the Township's permanent population will
increase by approximately 8,000 to 10,000 people over the next twenty years.
Population growth resulting from the development of adult lifestyle communities and
housing for part-time residents is not included in this estimate. Given that sufficient land
to accommodate the anticipated growth to approximately 2016 was designated in the
previous Official Plans, this Plan does not designate additional lands for new residential
development, unless it has the effect of permitting infilling in settlement areas,
rationalizing the boundaries of settlement areas or ensuring that development in an area to
be developed on full municipal services is cost effective.
The vast majority of the Township's residents work and shop in neighbouring Barrie and
Orillia. Many jobs and dollars leave the community. Additional economic development
in the Township will be encouraged by the Official Plan to reduce these outflows,
provided there are no negative impacts on the natural environment, natural resources or
rural character of the community or on the quality of life now enjoyed by the Township's
residents. A decreased reliance on neighbouring centres to provide employment and
shopping opportunities will help foster a sense of community in the Township.
Additional economic activity will be encouraged by designating lands in the vicinity of the
Lake Simcoe Regional Airport for industrial and commercial purposes and by permitting
home occupations and home industries in the rural area.
The new Official Plan assumes that the high quality of life now enjoyed by the
Township's residents can be maintained and enhanced if the area's natural environment
features, natural resources and the rural character are preserved. However, change is
inevitable and it must be managed in an efficient and orderly manner and every effort to
promote economic activity that does not impact on the Township's attributes must be
made. It is the therefore the intent of this Plan to provide Council with the tools to
consider and mitigate the impacts of change on the qualities that make the Township a
desirable place to live.
This Plan designates enough land for commercial, industrial and residential uses to last
until the year 2016. Amendments to the Plan to permit such development, unless
specifically anticipated by the policies of this Plan, are only to be considered by Council
if the intent of the Amendment is to refine land use boundaries or is the result of a broader
policy review.

SECTION A2 - OFFICIAL PLAN PRINCIPLES
Based on the vision contained in Section AI, the policies of this Plan are based on the
pillars and the principles that flow from those pillars contained in this section.
A2.1
PILLAR #1- PROTECT THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A2.1.1
Principles
.
The protection of significant environmental features and their associated
ecological functions shall take precedence over the development of such lands.
.
A thorough understanding of the natural environment, including the values,
opportunities, limits and constraints that it provides, shall guide land use
decision making in the Township.
.
Land use planning shall contribute to the protection, maintenance and
enhancement of water and related resources and aquatic ecosystems on an
integrated watershed management basis.
.
The Oro Moraine is considered to be the heart of the natural heritage system
in the Township. This area requires protection from incompatible activities
and uses that would have a negative impact on the critical natural features and
ecological functions associated with the moraine.
.
The loss or fragmentation of significant woodland features and the habitats and
ecological functions they provide shall be minimized.
.
Changes to the water quality and hydrological and hydrogeological
characteristics of watercourses, lakes and wetlands are to be minimized and no
development will be permitted that will result in a negative impact to the
critical functions and processes of these features.
.
The loss or fragmentation of Provincially significant wetlands and the habitats
and ecological functions they provide shall not be permitted.

A2.2
PILLAR #2 - PROMOTE THE PROPER CONSERVATION AND USE
OF NATURAL RESOURCES
A2.2.1
Principles
.
Surface and groundwater resources in sufficient quality and quantity shall be
maintained and enhanced, where possible, to meet existing and future needs on
a sustainable basis.
.
Land use decisions shall promote water conservation and support the efficient
use of water resources on a watershed and sub-watershed basis.
.
Lands that have the potential of being used for agricultural purposes shall be
protected from incompatible development to ensure that farming operations
can operate with the maximum degree of flexibility and efficiency.
.
Existing mineral aggregate operations, known mineral deposits and areas of
high potential for future resource use shall be protected from incompatible
development. Existing and proposed extractive activities shall be carried out
with minimal environmental and social cost.
A2.3
PILLAR #3 - PROTECT THE TOWNSHIP'S RURAL CHARACTER
A2.3.1
Principles
.
The consolidation of residential development in existing settlement areas will
be encouraged in order to protect the character of the rural areas. A very
limited amount of rural residential development, in the form of individual lots
for bona-fide farmers and through the process of infilling, may be permitted.
.
New highway commercial and industrial uses will be directed to the Highway
11 Corridor. The consolidation of highway commercial and industrial
development in existing nodes along Highway 11 will be encouraged to protect
the rural character of the area between the nodes and to prevent strip
development.
.
The development of new residential subdivisions in the rural or agricultural
area is not permitted by the Official Plan.
To ensure that there is a clear spatial delineation between the Barrie and Orillia
urban areas and the rural and agricultural area of Oro-Medonte, new
development adjacent to either City shall be restricted to agricultural and
agriculturally-related uses.

.
The maintenance, restoration and enhancement of buildings, structures and
areas that are considered of significant architectural or historical value will be
encouraged.
.
Aggregate extraction areas shall be used in a manner consistent with the rural
character of the area.
A2.4
PILLAR #4 - MANAGE CHANGE TO ENSURE THAT IT OCCURS IN
AN ORDERLY AND EFFICIENT MANNER
A2.4.1
Principles
.
It is not Council's intent to provide a significantly broader range and/or higher
level of municipal services than are presently being provided.
.
The provision of municipal water or sewer services to a settlement area that is
not currently supplied with these services will only be considered if the
development requiring the municipal services is cost-effective for the
Township to operate in the long term.
.
The economics of providing services to the people of Oro-Medonte will be
considered in the review of any development proposal to ensure that the
development pattern is efficient and does not lead to inefficiencies or a decline
in the level of municipal service.
.
The consolidation of residential, commercial and industrial development in
areas where adequate infrastructure exists or is proposed by this Plan is
encouraged.
.
Scattered rural development by way of Plan of Subdivision is not permitted
by this Plan.
.
To ensure that development in certain areas occurs in a cost-effective manner,
Secondary Plans will be required to address, among other things, matters
related to servicing, roads, parkland and the need for community facilities.
.
Lands adjacent to the Cities of Barrie and Grillia shall be protected from
incompatible development to ensure that the expansion of the urban service
areas in the future is cost-effective and efficient.

A2.5
PILLAR #5 - PROMOTE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY THA T TAKES
ADVANTAGE OF THE TOWNSHIP'S ATTRIBUTES
A2.5.1
Principles
.
Development resulting in an increase in economic activity in the Township
shall be encouraged, provided such development does not have a negative
impact on the natural environment, natural resources and rural character of the
community.
.
The role of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport in the regional economy is to be
strengthened wherever possible to stimulate local economic activity.
.
The concentration of economic activity along Highway 11 will be encouraged
and one new area for commercial and industrial development and new fOIms of
retailing activity will be located at or near the intersection of the 7th Line and
Highway 11 to take advantage of the location of the airport.
.
The development of home-based businesses will be strongly encouraged,
provided the proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses.
.
The visual attractiveness of the Highway 11 Corridor will be improved to
promote a positive awareness of Oro-Medonte.
.
The expansion and diversification of existing recreational uses will be
encouraged so that these areas can take advantage of their market potential.
.
The expansion and consolidation of agricultural uses will be encouraged since
the agricultural sector greatly contributes to the economy of the municipality.
.
The protection of the Township's natural attributes, such as its rural character
and its Natural Heritage System, will be encouraged to ensure that the
recreational and tourism uses that rely upon these attributes continue to
thrive.

SETILEMENT AREA AND SERVICING STRATEGY
B1.1 THE BASIS FOR A SETTLEMENT AREA AND SERVICING
STRATEGY
In accordance with the policies of this Plan, new residential development is
directed to settlement areas. The strategy described in this part of the Plan is
based on the need to provide municipal services as efficiently as possible to
settlement areas and the wish to protect the natural environment and natural
resources of the Township.
Bl.2 THE STRATEGY
A hierarchy of settlement areas has been established for the Township ofOro-
Medonte. New settlement areas are not contemplated by this Plan and would
only be considered on the basis of a comprehensive review of the continuing
relevance of the vision that fonns the basis of all the policies in this Plan.
Bl.2.1
Hawkestone
Hawkestone has been under a considerable amount of pressure for
development for a number of years. The hamlet has been identified as a
growth centre since 1978, when the Hawkestone Secondary Plan was
approved by the Province. Since that date, only a limited amount of
development has occurred due to the poor quality of the soils for the
installation of private septic systems.
Hawkestone has been selected as a settlement area that should develop on full
sewer and water services because:
· it is located adjacent to a full interchange with Highway 11;
· it is located close to nearby employment centres;
· its development is not expected to have an impact on agricultural uses;
· it can easily be serviced by a municipal water system;
· the potential exists to improve existing infrastructure in the area; and,

· the potential exists to attract uses to the Township, such as affordable
housing, medical clinics and retirement homes, that require full
municipal services to be cost-effective.
A master servicing strategy would determine the method of full services, the
timing of its installation and the cost of the services. The preparation of a
Secondary Plan and a master servicing plan will be required before any
development occurs in this settlement area. It is intended that the communal
sewer and water services in Hawkestone be owned by the municipality.
B1.2.2
Horseshoe Valley Resort
The Horseshoe Valley Resort is a multi-use facility combining resort,
recreational and residential uses. It is expected that the role of this settlement
area will evolve in the future as a greater range of services are provided to the
traveling public and local residents.
Given the density of existing and proposed development in this area, all new
development, with the exception of single detached dwellings on existing lots,
in the Horseshoe Valley Resort node as identified on the Schedules to this Plan
should be serviced by communal sewer and water systems. All communal
water systems shall be owned by the municipality. However, the municipal
assumption of any communal sewage treatment system in the Horseshoe
Valley Resort node may only occur if Council is satisfied that:
a) the type and location of the servicing system is acceptable to the
municipality;
b) appropriate guarantees are in place to ensure that the impacts of the
effluent from the sewage treatment system on downgradient water
supplies is monitored frequently;
c) sufficient financial securities are available to ensure that downstream
water supplies can be replaced in the event of a problem that is directly
attributable to the operation of the sewage treatment system; and,
d) the financial securities to be deposited with the municipality are
sufficient to ensure that the system can be repaired/replaced in the
future.

B 1.2.3
Warminster, Craighurst and Sugarbush
Warminster, Craighurst and Sugarbush are three settlement areas where some
growth on municipally owned water systems and private septic systems will
occur. Warminster and Craighurst function as service centres that provide
services to large areas of the Township. The Sugarbush settlement area is
solely a residential community.
Almost all of the vacant land within Warminster and all of the vacant land
within the Sugarbush settlement area was the site of Draft Approved Plans of
Subdivision on the date this Plan was adopted by Council. The majority of
the vacant land in Craighurst was not the site of Draft Approved Plans of
Subdivision on the date this Plan was adopted.
Each of these communities is currently serviced by a municipal water system.
Given the limited scale of new development anticipated in these communities
and the suitability of the soils for private septic systems, communal sewage
treatment systems are not required, nor will they be considered for
assumption by the Township in these three settlement areas. As a result,
new development in these areas will be connected to the existing municipal
water systems and serviced by private septic systems.
In Craighurst, given that the majority of the vacant land within the settlement
area was not the subject of an application for development on the date this
Plan was adopted by Council, it shall be the policy of this Plan to require the
landowners to prepare a Comprehensive Development Plan prior to the
Council approval of any individual application for residential development.
Such a Comprehensive Development Plan shall deal with such issues as
parkland, road access and the provision of municipal water services on a
comprehensive basis.
B1.2.4
Shanty Bay
Shanty Bay is a settlement area that functions primarily as a residential
community. As a result of concerns about the long range impacts of additional
development on private septic systems in the community, new development
in Shanty Bay will be restricted to those lands that have already been
approved for development in the previous Township of Oro Official Plan.
New development in Shanty Bay will be serviced by an expansion to the
existing municipal communal water system and private septic systems, with
the exception that one communal sewage treatment system may be considered
for municipal assumption on lands within the east half of Lots 27 and 28,

Concession III (Oro). The municipal assumption of a communal sewage
treatment system on these lands may only occur if Council is satisfied that:
a) the type and location of the servicing system is acceptable to the
municipality;
b) appropriate guarantees are in place to ensure that the impacts of the
effluent from the sewage treatment system on downgradient water
supplies is monitored frequently;
c) sufficient financial securities are available to ensure that downstream
water supplies can be replaced in the event of a problem that is directly
attributable to the operation of the sewage treatment system; and,
d) the financial securities to be deposited with the municipality are
sufficient to ensure that the system can be repaired/replaced in the
future.
No more than one communal sewage treatment system will be permitted in
Shanty Bay as a result of concerns about the cost-effectiveness of operating
more than one system in a settlement area.
Amendments to this Official Plan that have the effect of designating land for
additional residential development in Shanty Bay will not be considered
unless:
· it can be shown that there is a need for additional development in this
area; and,
· the feasibility of developing a communal sewage treatment system
servicing the entire settlement area has been investigated to the
satisfaction of Council and the appropriate agencies.
B1.2.5
Moonstone and Oro Station
Moonstone and Oro Station are two settlement areas where only limited
growth on municipal water and private septic systems will occur. Both of
these communities are rural service centres and are serviced by a municipal
water systems that are capable of being expanded. Given the limited scale of
new development anticipated in these two communities, communal sewage
treatment systems are not required nor will they be considered for assumption
by the Township.

B1.2.6
Jarratt, East Oro, Rugby, Edgar and Guthrie
Limited growth on private services will occur in Jarratt, East Oro, Rugby,
Edgar and Guthrie. Each of these communities currently functions as a small
rural service centre. These communities are currently not serviced with a
municipal water system. Given the supply of building lots in other areas of
the Township, there is no need to identify these communities as growth areas.
Limited infilling and small-scale development by Plan of Subdivision on
private services may be permitted in these areas.
B1.2.7
Forest Home and Prices Corners
No additional development will occur, other than on existing lots of record, in
Forest Home and Prices Comers. These settlement areas are located in close
proximity to the City of Orillia urban area. Development in these areas would
conflict with the intent of this Plan to protect the rural character of the
Township and to ensure that the expansion of the Orillia urban service area in
the future is cost-effective and efficient.

LAND USE CONCEPT
There are fourteen land use designations that apply to lands throughout the Township
and three special policy areas, in which specific land use designations have been
developed to deal with land use issues in a defined area. In addition, there are two overlay
designations that apply to certain areas of the Township.
A description of each of the designations, the special policy areas and the overlay
designations is below.
Cl LAND USE DESIGNATIONS THA T APPLY TO THE WHOLE
TOWNSHIP
C1.1 Environmental Protection One
Prior to the development of policies affecting the natural heritage system
(NHS), a Natural Heritage Study was completed using existing data sources.
The NHS identified by this study is a landscape network that has been
established for the conservation of biological diversity, natural processes and
viable populations of indigenous species and ecosystems.
The NHS places environmental features into two categories on the basis of
their significance and sensitivity to development, and the amount of
information available. These two categories have been translated into two
designations in this Official Plan.
The Environmental Protection One designation is intended to include the
following significant features:
· Provincially significant wetlands (Classes 1,2 and 3);
· Provincially significant Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest;
· significant portions of habitat of endangered or threatened species;
· critical wildlife habitat areas; and,
· any other areas that have been determined to be environmentally
significant as a result of a development review process.
All other lands that are within the natural heritage system because of the
ecological functions they provide are located in the Environmental Protection
Two overlay designation. A description of the intent of the Environmental
Protection Two designation is in Section C3.I.

The 8th Line Special Policy Area applies to lands on the west side of the 8th
Line south of Highway 11 that are the site of a major private park and
speedway.
C3 OVERLAY DESIGNATIONS
The uses permitted in an overlay designation are those permitted by the
underlying designation provided the use conforms to the policies of this
section.
C3.1 Environmental Protection Two
The Environmental Protection Two overlay designation applies to components
of the natural heritage system that are not included within the Environmental
Protection One designation either because they are not considered to be
Provincially significant or because insufficient information was available at the

SECTION Dl - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ONE
Dl.l OBJECTIVE
· To maintain and enhance the ecological integrity of the natural heritage system.
· To minimize the loss or fragmentation of significant wetlands and the habitats
and ecological functions they provide.
Dl.2 PERMITTED USES
Pennitted uses on lands designated Environmental Protection One as shown
on the schedules to this Plan may include conservation and passive recreation
uses provided an Environmental Impact Study and a Management Plan are
completed in accordance with Section G3 and approved by Council and the
appropriate agencies. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the ability of
agricultural uses to continue.
The individual components of the Environmental Protection One designation
are shown on Schedule B to this Plan. Although significant portions of the
habitat of vulnerable, threatened and endangered species and critical wildlife
habitat areas are intended to be designated Environmental Protection One, no
such areas were known to exist in the Township when the Official Plan was
prepared. However, additional studies may locate such habitats and in such
instances, it is the intent of this Plan that these areas be subject to the policies
of this section.
D1.3 ADJACENT LANDS
For the purposes of this Section, all lands within 120 metres of the boundary
of a wetland, within 50 metres of the boundary of an Area of Natural and
Scientific Interest (ANSI), within 50 metres of a significant portion of the
habitat of a vulnerable, threatened and endangered species and within 50
metres of the boundary of a critical wildlife habitat area within the
Environmental Protection One designation are considered to be adjacent lands.
No development shall be permitted on these adjacent lands unless an
Environmental Impact Study and a Management Plan are completed in
accordance with Section G3 and approved by Council, subject to the
comments of the appropriate agencies.

D2.2
PERMI'ITED USES
The principle use of land in the Agricultural designation as shown on the
schedules to this Plan shall be agriculture. For the purposes of this Plan, the
extraction of water for retail sale is not permitted in this designation and is
subject to the policies of Section F2.3.2.
Other permitted uses include single detached dwellings, bed and breakfast
establishments, home occupations, commercial dog kennels, forestry, resource
management uses, farm implement dealers and feed and fertilizer distribution
facilities, storage facilities for agricultural products, greenhouses,
agriculturally-related commercial uses and seasonal home grown produce
stands. Wayside pits and portable asphalt plants are also permitted. All
existing commercial and industrial uses are also permitted.
The Township recognizes that the nature of farming is changing and that
additional activities, such as home industries, can be carried out in the
Agricultural designation that would not have an impact on agricultural or rural
uses. Home industries are small-scale industrial uses, such as a welding,
carpentry or electrical shops, or agriculturally-related uses that involve the
processing of crops or other products. These uses are permitted in the
Agricultural designation.

DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
D2.3.1
The creation of new lots
In accordance with the intent of this Plan to maintain the rural character of the
Township, the creation of new lots in the Agricultural designation for non-
residential purposes is not permitted.
The creation of new lots for residential purposes shall generally not be
permitted, unless the lot is intended for use by a retiring bona fide farmer or is
considered an infilling lot in accordance with the policies of this Section.
D2.3 .1.1 Definition of bona fide farmer
A bona fide farmer is a full time farmer who is retiring from active working life
and who has owned and operated a farm operation on the lot from which the
severance is proposed for at least 10 years with such farm operation being in
existence on January 1, 1994.
D2.3.1.2 Definition of an infilling lot
An infilling lot is a lot that is located between two existing residential lots that
are situated on the same side of the road, the adjacent or closest lot lines of
which are not more than 100 metres apart.
D2.3.2
Conditions under which new residential lots may be permitted
The creation of an infilling lot or a lot for a retiring bona fide farmer, as defined
by Sections D2.3 .1.1 and D2.3 .1.2, is permitted, provided:
a) the lot from which the new lot is proposed to be created has an area of
at least 36 hectares or is the whole of an original Township lot;
b) a lot has not been severed from the parcel since March 26, 1973;
c) the severed lot is to be located where it would have the least impact on
existing and future agricultural operations;
d) the proposed lot is no smaller than 0.4 hectares and generally no larger
than 1.0 hectare;

e) no portion of the severed lot is to be located closer than 200 metres to
a barn or feedlot, regardless of whether it is being used for agricultural
uses at the time the application is submitted, or the minimum distance
required by the Agricultural Code of Practice, whichever is the greater,
f) the proposed lot fronts onto an existing public road that is maintained
year round by the Township, County or Province;
g) the proposed lot will not cause a traffic hazard as a result of its
location on a curve or a hill; and,
h) the proposed lot can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and
an appropriate means of sewage disposal.
D2.3.3
Farm consolidations and boundary adjustments
Boundary line adjustments or fann consolidations may be considered where
the effect of the boundary adjustment or consolidation is to improve the
viability of the farm operation provided:
a) no new lot is created; and,
b) the viability of using the lands affected by the application for
agricultural uses is not adversely impacted if the application is
approved.
D2.3.4
Home industries

Area pursuant to Section 41 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990. The
intent of implementing Site Plan Control on some of the lots is to
ensure that the buffer area adjacent to the wetland on the site is left in
its natural state. In addition, Site Plan Control is intended to ensure
that an appropriate percentage of the trees contained in the closed
canopy forest cover of pine reforestation areas on some of the lots are
protected from development.
The intent of implementing Site Plan Control on the private
recreational block is to ensure that the buffer area adjacent to the
wetland is left in its natural state and that adequate regard is had for the
wetland in the site plan.
Every site plan application submitted to the Township shall be
circulated to the appropriate agencies for their comments and should
contain the following infonnation:
i) the location of the building envelopes;
ii) the location of primary and reserve tile fields;
ill) the location oflaneways and parking areas;
iv) the location of lands which have a slope greater than 15
percent;
v) the location of swimming pools and tennis courts;
vi) the location of the wetland buffer area; and,
vii) the extent of forest cover to be maintained on the lot.

E2.5 HORSESHOE VALLEY RESORT NODE
A number of specific land use designations have been developed for the
Horseshoe Valley Resort node. It is the intent of this Plan to encourage the
development of the lands within the Horseshoe Valley Resort node for a
variety of residential, commercial and recreational uses, primarily on full sewer
and water services.
The Township recognizes that the role and function of the Horseshoe Valley
Resort is evolving and that the area will serve as a focus for many fonns of
development in the future. Many of these fonns of development will have a
market area that extends far beyond the boundaries of the municipality.
E2.5.1
Improvements to Horseshoe Valley Road
It is recognized by Council that improvements are required to Horseshoe
Valley Road before any major development occurs within the Horseshoe
Valley Resort node. It is therefore a policy of this Plan to require the
preparation of a traffic study that reviews the cumulative impact of all new
development within the Horseshoe Valley Resort node on Horseshoe Valley
Road and the 3rd and 4th Lines before any major new development is
approved. Such a traffic study shall be prepared to the satisfaction of
Council, the County of Simcoe and any other appropriate agency.
The purpose of the traffic study will be to detennine the nature, extent and
timing of improvements required to Horseshoe Valley Road and the 3rd and
4th Lines that are directly attributable to development within the Horseshoe
Valley Resort node.
It is recognized that not all of the road improvements recommended by the
traffic study need to be completed prior to development occurring. As a
result, the traffic study shall also specify the key points in the development
process that trigger the need for road improvements.
E2.5.2
Timeshare developments
Where timeshare developments are listed as a pennitted use in a designation,
the policies of this section apply. For the purposes of this Plan, a timeshare
development is a commercial use that contains accommodation units, each of
which are held in two or more ownerships and with the occupancy of each
unit being shared by the owners.

a re-zoning and shall be developed by way of Plan of Condominium to ensure
that all matters of municipal interest and jurisdiction, such as, but not limited
to, the administration and collection of taxes, other charges, levies, fees, and
the provision of notices are addressed in a Condominium Agreement to the
satisfaction of the municipality.

SECTION Fl - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION lWO
Fl.! OBJECTIVES
· To protect the Oro Moraine from incompatible activities and uses that would
have a negative impact on the critical natural features and ecological functions
associated with the moraine.
· To maintain and enhance the ecological integrity of the natural heritage system.
· To minimize the loss or fragmentation of significant woodland features and the
habitats and ecological functions they provide.
· To protect significant wildlife habitat.
Fl.2 LOCATION AND DEFINITION
The Environmental Protection Two overlay designation applies to components
of the natural heritage system that are not included within the Environmental
Protection One designation.
The limits of the Environmental Protection Two designation are shown on the
schedules to this Plan and are considered to be approximate. Some of the
features within the Environmental Protection Two overlay designation may be
significant enough to warrant their designation within the Environmental
Protection One designation after further study.
Lands within the Environmental Protection Two designation include the
following:
a) significant woodlands;
b) Class 4,5,6 and 7 wetlands;
c) unevaluated wetlands
d) Regionally significant areas of natural and scientific interest; and,
e) Regionally significant wildlife habitat areas.
This natural heritage system represents a network of natural areas that
continues to exist after the area was settled and the lands that support the
ecological functions critical to the survival of these areas. Many of these
components converge on the Oro Moraine, a major landfonn that serves as a
major recharge and discharge area that supplies the groundwater to the
headwaters of a number of river system and wetlands in the Township and

beyond. In many ways, the Oro Moraine is the heart of the Township's
natural heritage system.
The individual components of the natural heritage system are shown on
Schedule 'B' to this Plan and are described in Section F1.5.
Fl.3 PERMITTED USES
The uses permitted in these areas shall be those permitted by the underlying
designation provided the use conforms to the policies of this section.
F1.4
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH DEVELOPMENT MAY OCCUR
Fl.4.1
The Oro Moraine
The development of any new permitted use within the boundaries of the Oro
Moraine that is not within the Environmental Protection Two overlay
designation that requires an amendment to the Zoning By-law may also be
subject to the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and a
Management Plan (MP) to the satisfaction of Council before such an
amendment is adopted. The major criteria to be considered by Council in
deciding whether an EIS and MP is required is the scale of the development
proposed and the possibility of there being negative impacts on the natural
heritage system as a result of the development. If a proposed use requires an
Amendment to the Official Plan, an EIS and a MP shall be required.
The EIS and MP required by this section must demonstrate, to the satisfaction
of Council, that the proposed development can occur without having a
negative impact on the critical natural features and ecological functions of the
area. The study requirements for an EIS and a MP are contained in Section
G3.
F1.4.2
Other environmental features
New development on lands within the Environmental Protection Two overlay
designation is generally discouraged by this Plan. The development of any use
in the Environmental Protection Two overlay designation that requires either
an amendment to the Zoning By-law or to this Plan shall also be subject to the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and a Management Plan
(MP) to the satisfaction of Council before such an amendment is adopted.
The development of lands that are located adjacent to the Environmental
Protection Two overlay designation that require an amendment to the Zoning
By-law or to this Plan may also be subject to an EIS and MP if the
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
environmental feature is deemed to be sensitive to development on adjacent
lands. Adjacent lands are defined as all lands within:
a) 50 metres of a significant woodland;
b) 120 metres from a wetland;
c) 50 metres of any ANSI; and,
d) 50 metres of any significant wildlife area.
The EIS and MP required by this section must demonstrate, to the satisfaction
of Council, that the proposed development can occur without having a
negative impact on the critical natural features and ecological functions of the
area. The study requirements for an EIS and a MP are contained in Section
G3.
F1.5
COMPONENTS OF THE NATURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM
F1.5.1
Significant woodlands
Significant woodlands are those wooded areas that are sufficiently large enough
or old enough to provide important plant and/or animal habitat. Some of these
woodland areas provide key wildlife habitat and important linkages to other
environmental features such as wetlands while others contain old growth
stands.
Fl.5.2
WetJands
Wetlands within the Environmental Protection Two overlay designation are
those that are classified as Class 4, 5, 6 or 7 wetlands under the Ministry of
Natural Resources wetland evaluation system or are unevaluated. Wetlands
that are Class I, 2 or 3 are designated Environmental Protection One and
policies for those wetlands are contained in Section D 1 of this Plan.
Wetlands playa very important role in the natural heritage system, since they:
a) provide habitat for plants and animals;
b) store water for groundwater recharge purposes;
c) trap sediments, nutrients and contaminants thereby improving
downstream water quality;
d) provide corridors for plant and animal movements; and,
e) provide flood control and protects shorelines from erosion.

Areas of natural and scientific interest
Areas of natural and scientific interest (ANSI's) are areas of land and water
containing natural landscapes or features which have been identified as having
values related to protection, natural heritage appreciation, scientific study or
education. The one Provincially significant ANSI has been designated
Environmental Protection One and policies for that ANSI are contained in
Section D 1 of this Plan. ANSI's that are within the Environmental Protection
Two designation are considered to be Regionally Significant or a Life Science
ANSI or a Provincially Significant Earth Science ANSI.
F1.5.4
Significant wildlife areas
The only significant wildlife habitat area currently included within the natural
heritage system are the deer wintering areas. As additional studies are carried
out, other significant wildlife habitat areas may be identified and appropriate
measures may need to be taken to protect these habitat areas from
incompatible uses. One such measure would be to consider such a habitat area
a critical wildlife area and placing those lands within the Environmental
Protection One designation.

SECTION F2 - GROUNDW A TER RECHARGE AREAS
F2.1 OBJECTIVES
· To protect the headwaters of rivers and streams.
· To protect the quality of water available for drinking water purposes.
· To ensure that the integrity of the municipality's watersheds are maintained or
enhanced.
· To ensure that the quantity of water in the groundwater table is protected.
F2.2 LOCA TION AND DEFINITION
The Groundwater Recharge Area overlay designation applies to highland areas
where infiltration to the shallow groundwater regime occurs. The upper
aquifer in these highland areas discharges water into the headwaters of rivers,
streams and wetlands. The boundaries of the Groundwater Recharge Area
overlay designation closely follow the boundaries of the Oro Moraine.
It is the intent of this Plan to provide a high level of protection to the
groundwater recharge areas by placing these areas in an overlay designation.
The uses permitted in these areas shall be those permitted by the underlying
designation provided the use conforms to the policies of this section.
F2.3
POUCIES
F2.3.1
New development in Groundwater Recharge Area
Any new development in the Groundwater Recharge Area overlay designation
that requires either an amendment to the implementing Zoning By-law or to
this Plan shall be supported by a hydrogeological assessment that addresses
the following issues to the satisfaction of Council:
a) the effect of the proposed use on the groundwater recharge function
and the associated ecological systems;
b) the effect of the proposed use on the quality and quantity of drinking
water in adjacent wells;
c) the effect of the proposed use on adjacent high capacity wells; and,

d) the degree to which the objectives of Section F2.1 are met if the
amendment is approved.
The municipality shall consult with the appropriate agencies before making a
decision on such an application.
F2.3.2
Water bottling plants
The development of a water bottling plant that processes water extracted from
a well located within the Township of Oro-Medonte is not permitted in any
land use designation by this Plan. Given the lack of detailed information on
the groundwater regime in the T ownshi p, any such water bottling plant shall
require an Amendment to this Plan and the implementing Zoning By-law.
Matters to be considered by Council when such an application is submitted
include:
a) the effects of the proposed extraction of water on the quantity and
quality of water in adjacent wells;
b) the long-term impact of the proposed extraction on the groundwater
recharge function and associated ecological systems; and,
c) the impact of the increased traffic generated by the water bottling plant
on the road network in the area.
If a water bottling plant that processes water extracted from a well in the
Township of Oro-Medonte is approved, the owner shall be required to enter
into a Site Plan Agreement and/or Development Agreement that specifies, in
addition to all other matters normally dealt with in a Site Plan or Development
Agreement, that the owner will be responsible for the establishment and
operation, in consultation with the Township and the Ministry of
Environment and Energy, of a long-term monitoring program.
The purpose of such a long term monitoring program would be to assess the
long term impacts of the water taking on the recharge function and to
determine whether the objectives contained in Section F2.1 are being met. The
monitoring program shall include details of the nature and location of the
proposed monitoring wells and of the nature and frequency of the monitoring.
The monitoring program shall also specify that the appropriate measurements
would be taken in the monitoring wells before the water-taking has commenced
and at regular intervals subsequent to the commencement of the water-taking.

SECTION Gl- RIVERS AND STREAMS, FLOODPLAINS
AND HAZARDOUS SLOPES
G1.1
OBJECTIVES
.
To recognize and protect all significant rivers and streams in the Township
from development that may have an impact on their function as an important
component of the natural heritage system.
.
To ensure that development does not occur on lands that are unstable or
susceptible to flooding.
.
To ensure that development does not occur on hazardous slopes.
G1.2
RIVERS AND STREAMS
G 1.2.1
Function of rivers and streams
All of the rivers and streams in the Township as shown on the schedules to
this Plan are considered to be environmentally significant since they:
· store storm and melt waters;
· contain fish and wildlife habitat areas;
· function as corridors for migrating wildlife habitat movement and
vegetation dispersal;
· serve to maintain the quality and quantity of surface and ground water
resources; and,
· assist in the improvement of air quality.
It is the intent of this Plan to protect all rivers and streams from incompatible
development to minimize the impacts of such development on their function.
In this regard, no development is permitted below the top of bank of any river
or stream or within 30 metres of the top of bank.
G 1.2.2
Implementation
In order to implement the objectives of this Plan, the implementing Zoning
By-law shall place all lands below the top of bank of any river or stream in a
specific Environmental Protection Zone. Uses in this Environmental
Protection Zone shall be limited to agricultural uses that existed on the date the
By-law is passed by Council and public or private recreational uses. No

buildings or structures, with the exception of structural works required for
flood and/or erosion or sediment control, will be permitted in this Zone.
The implementing Zoning By-law shall also specify that all buildings and
structures be set back a minimum of 30 metres from the boundaries of the
Environmental Protection Zone. A reduction in the 30 metre setback shall not
require an Amendment to this Plan but will require either an Amendment to
the implementing Zoning By-law or a minor variance subject to the comments
of the appropriate agencies. Matters to be considered in reviewing an
application to reduce the setback include:
· the nature of the soils;
· the nature of the vegetation and cover;
· the slope of the land;
· the nature of existing and proposed drainage patterns;
· the nature of the fish and wildlife that may be present; and,
· the scale of the proposed development.
G 1.2.3
Conditions under which development may be permitted in the
Environmental Protection Zone
If buildings and structures or uses that are not permitted by the Environmental
Protection Zone are proposed in the Environmental Protection Zone, a re-
zoning or a minor variance shall be required. Such a re-zoning or minor
variance will not be considered by Council unless an Environmental Impact
Study and a Management Plan are completed in accordance with Section G3
and approved by Council subject to the comments of the appropriate agencies.
An Environmental Impact Study and a Management Plan may not be required
by Council if the new development takes the form of a minor addition to an
existing building, provided the appropriate agencies support the scale and
location of the addition and the proposed addition conforms with the
objectives of the Official Plan.
G1.3
FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
G 1.3.1
General policies
Although floodplains have not been mapped in the majority of the Township,
it is the intent of this Plan that no development or site alteration be permitted
within the floodway of a river or stream system. The following policies shall
apply to development proposed on lands susceptible to flooding under
regional storm conditions:
I
I
I
I
I
I
I

a) Development will generally be directed to areas outside of hazardous
lands adjacent to a river or stream system that is impacted by flooding
hazards.
b) Development and site alteration will not be permitted within the
floodway of a river or stream system.
c) Development and site alteration may be permitted within the flood
fringe of a river or stream system where flood depths and velocities
would be less severe than those experienced within the floodway.
Development will only be permitted within the flood fringe provided
the following criteria can be achieved:
· the hazards can be safely addressed and the development and site
alteration can be carried out in accordance with established
standards and procedures;
· new hazards will not be created and existing hazards not
aggravated;
· no adverse environmental impacts will result;
· vehicles and people have a means of safely entering and exiting
the area during times of flooding and other emergencies; and,
· the development does not include institutional uses or essential
emergency services or the disposal, manufacture, treatment or
storage of hazardous substances.
G 1.3.2
Implementation
In order to implement the objectives of this Plan, the implementing Zoning
By-law shall place all lands within an identified floodplain in a Floodplain
Overlay Zone. Where floodplain mapping exists, such mapping will be used
to assist in locating the Floodplain Overlay Zone boundaries. The uses
permitted in the Floodplain Overlay Zone shall be those uses that existed on
the date the implementing Zoning By-law was passed by Council and which
are permitted in the underlying Zone in the implementing Zoning By-law. All
expansions to existing development in the Floodplain Overlay Zone is subject
to the regulations of the Conservation Authorities Act in accordance with
Section G 1.5. New development in the Floodplain Overlay Zone is not
permitted.

floodplain study to the satisfaction of the Township, subject to the comments
of the appropriate agencies.
Gl.4 HAZARDOUS SLOPES
The following policies shall apply to development proposed in association
with steep slopes and ravines.
a) Development will not be permitted on slopes which are subject to
active erosion or historic slope failure.
b) Development shall be sufficiently setback from the top of bank of
slopes greater than 33% or 3 to 1. The development setback distance
shall be determined in consultation with the Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Authority. The following criteria shall be considered
when establishing the setback distance.
· soil type and groundwater patterns;
· vegetation type and cover,
· severity of slope; and,
· nature of development.
c) In some instances where a sufficient development setback cannot be
achieved, the proponent may be required to provide a slope stability
analysis as a prerequisite to any development. The analysis shall be
prepared to the satisfaction of the Township.
G1.5 REGULATIONS UNDER THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT
In accordance with the Conservation Authorities Act, the following works
require a permit or the written approval of the Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Authority, if the lands are subject to the jurisdiction of the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority:

SECTION G3 - REQUIREj\IENTS FOR AN
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY
Where the policies of this Plan require that an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) be
prepared, such an ElS shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of this
section.
G3.1 PURPOSE OF AN EIS
The purpose of an EIS is to collect and evaluate the appropriate information in
order to have a complete understanding of the boundaries, attributes and
functions of the environmental features, and to make an informed decision as
to whether or not a proposed use will have a negative impact on the critical
natural features and ecological functions of the Township.
Any EIS required by this Plan must describe the critical natural features and
ecological functions, identify their significance and sensitivities and describe
how they could be affected by a proposed use. The EIS should give
consideration to the relevant aspects and inter-relationships of various
components of the natural heritage system on and off the site. In addition, the
EIS must address how the proposed development will protect, maintain or
restore the critical natural features and ecological functions of the Natural
Heritage System.
Any EIS must be approved by Council, in addition to the other appropriate
agencies, before an amendment to the implementing Zoning By-law or to this
Plan that faciJitates the development that is subject to the EIS is adopted by
Council.
G3.2 CONTENTS OF AN EIS
The EIS shall include a description of:
a) the proposed undertaking;
b) the natural features and ecological functions of the area potentially
affected directly and indirectly by the underta.king, and their sensitivity
to development;
c) any Jands that support environmental attributes and/or functions that
may qualify the lands for designation within the Environmental
Protection One designation;
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
d) the direct and indirect effects to the ecosystem that might be caused by
the undertaking;
e) any environmental hazards (i.e. slope, flooding contaminants) that need
to be addressed as part of the design;
f) any monitoring that may be required to ensure that mitigating measures
are achieving the intended goals;
g) how the proposed use affects the possibility of linking core areas of
the Natural Heritage System by natural conidors that mayor may not
be identified on Schedule B to this Plan, policies for which are in
Section G4 of this Plan; and,
h) a Management Plan identifying how the adverse effects will be avoided
or minimized over the construction period and the life of the
undertaking and how environmental features and functions 'Will be
enhanced where appropriate and describing the net effect of the
undertaking after implementation of the triP. The MP shall also
establish the limits of buffers and setbacks adjacent to watercourses,
waterbodies, valleys, significant wetlands and vegetation to protect the
natural feature and its attributes and/or function from the effects of
development.
G3.3 WHAT AN EIS SHOULD DEl\10NSTRA TE
The EIS should demonstrate, where applicable, that the proposed use will:
a) not discharge any substance that could hann air quality, groundwater,
surface water and associated plant and animal life;
b) be supplied by an adequate supply of water and that the groundwater
taking associated with the use will not hann existing water supplies
and associated plant and animal life;
c) not cause erosion or siltation of watercourses or changes to
watercourse morphology;
d) not interfere with groundwater recharge to the extent that it would
adversely affect groundwater supply for any use;
e) not cause an increase in flood potential on or off the site;

SECTION G4 - NATURAL CORRIDORS AND POTENTIAL
NATURAL CORRIDORS
Natural corridors and potential natural corridors are shown on Schedule B to this Plan.
Natural corridors are defined as linear natural features such as streams, floodplains, steep
slopes, valleys, contiguous narrow woodlands and wetlands that connect two or more
core areas, which are areas that are either within the Environmental Protection One
designation or the Environmental Protection Two overlay designation. Some of the
natural corridors are located within the County of Simcoe Greenlands system as identified
in the County of Simcoe Official Plan.
Natural corridors have been identified since they:
· sometimes allow for the passage of animals requiring a variety of habitats for
their survival;
· may allow for the movement of plants and animals to other areas thereby
increasing their population;
· may provide for reproductive interchanges for plants and animals, thereby
promoting genetic variations; and,
· may provide escape routes for animals from predators and natural and human
disturbances.
Natural features located in a linear system that exhibit good potential for linkage with core
areas either naturally or with restoration and enhancement are shown on Schedule B as
potential natural corridors.
It is the policy of this Plan that the integrity of the natural corridors and potential natural
corridors be preserved wherever feasible to protect existing linkages and encourage the
development of new linkages. In this regard, if an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is
required by this Plan, one of the components of the EIS will be to review the impacts of
the proposed development on these natural corridors.

SECTION Hl- TRANSPORTATION
H1.1 OBJECTIVES
· To facilitate the movement of both people and goods to and from the various
communities within the Township and to and from adjacent municipalities.
· To ensure that new development does not create a traffic hazard.
· To ensure appropriate right-of-way widths for all existing and proposed
roads.
· To restrict development on non-winter maintained roads, private roads and
individual rights-of-way unless an agreement on services is registered on title.
H1.2 ACCESS TO ROADS IN THE TOWNSHIP
The responsibility for approving an entrance onto a public road in the
Township depends on which of the three levels of government maintains the
road.
H1.2.1
Access to Highways 400 and 11
Both Highway 400 and Highway 11 function as roads that carry large volumes
of traffic between southern Ontario and northern Ontario. It is anticipated that
traffic flows on these roads will increase in the future as the population of
southern Ontario grows. New individual accesses to these highways are
therefore prohibited. The development of new service roads to access
development along these roads is encouraged by this Plan. All development
abutting these two Provincial highways is subject to the requirements of the
Ministry of Transportation.
Hl.2.2
Access to Horseshoe Valley Road (County Road 22), Highway 12 and
Highway 93
These roads function as roads that serve a regional role by carrying traffic
through the Township or from the Township to neighbouring municipalities.
Direct access to abutting properties will generally not be permitted unless
there is no other alternative. Intersections along these roads will, wherever
warranted, be improved by means of realignment, the provision of turning
lanes and placement of traffic control devices.

All development abutting Highway 12 is subject to the requirements of the
Ministry of Transportation. All development abutting Highway 93 (which is
to be transferred to the County from the Province on April 1, 1997) and
Horseshoe Valley Road is subject to County of Simcoe policy
Hl.2.3
Access to Ridge Road (County Road 20), Old Barrie Road (County Road
11), County Road 19, County Road 27, County Road 57 and County Road
23
These are roads that collect traffic from local roads and carry that traffic to the
roads listed in Sections Hl.2.1 and Hl.2.2. Direct access to these roads may
be pennitted subject to County of Simcoe policy provided the access will not
cause a traffic hazard.
Hl.2.4
Access to gravel haul routes
Gravel haul routes are roads that are used by trucks to transport aggregate to
market. Because of the potential conflict between individual accesses and the
function of the road as a gravel haul route, Council shall have regard to the
function of such a road before making a decision on whether to penn it
additional development on that road.
H1.3 RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTHS
Detennining the appropriate right-of-way widths for Provincial Highways and
County Roads is the responsibility of either the Province or the County.
However, the County of Simcoe will be encouraged to establish a right-of-way
width of 26 metres on that portion of County Road 27 between the southern
boundary of the Oro Centre Industrial/Commercial designation and Highway
11. In addition, the right-of-way width for portions of Ridge Road in the
Hawkestone and Shanty Bay rural settlement areas will be a maximum of 20.0
metres to preserve the character of these areas.
The minimum right-of-way width for local Township roads shall generally be
20 metres. However, reduced right-of-way widths may be considered by
Council in the rural settlement areas and the Horseshoe Valley Resort node to
foster the development of compact communities. Given the potential growth
of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, a right-of-way width of 26 metres is
established on that portion of the 7th Line of Oro between Highway 11 and
the northern property boundary of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport.

OTHER TYPES OF ROADS
Non-winter maintained roads
These roads are owned by the Township and through private or public
initiative, have been constructed to allow vehicular traffic on a seasonal basis
only. It is the policy of the Township not to provide winter maintenance to
these roads until such time as these roads are constructed to municipal
standards.
The construction of a dwelling unit or any building containing a permitted non-
residential use on a lot that is accessed only by a non-winter maintained road
is not permitted until the road is brought up to municipal standards and
maintained on a year-round basis. The cost of bringing such a road up to
municipal standards shall be borne by the landowners that will benefit from
the year round maintenance of the road.
The creation of a new lot on such a road is not permitted. All lots that front on
non-winter maintained roads shall be subject to Site Plan Control and be
subject to a Holding Provision in the implementing Zoning By-law that
prohibits any enlargement, renovation or addition to a dwelling unit that
existed on the date the implementing Zoning By-law is passed by Council
requiring a permit under the Building Code Act until the occupant satisfies the
requirements of Section HIA.3. Once these requirements are satisfied, the
Holding Provision shall be lifted by the Township.
Private roads and individual rights-of-way accessing residential uses
Private roads are lanes or roads maintained by private individuals or
Condominium Corporations which service more than one property. For the
purposes of this policy, individual rights of way are existing rights of way
servicing one or more properties. It is the policy of the Township to restrict
new development on private roads or individual rights-of way, unless the
private road is in a Plan of Condominium.
The construction of a dwelling unit on a lot that is accessed only by a private
road or an individual right-of-way is not permitted until the road is brought up
to municipal standards and assumed by the municipality and maintained on a
year-round basis. The cost of bringing such a road up to municipal standards
shall be borne by the landowners that will benefit from the municipal
assumption and year round maintenance of the road.

The construction or development of new private roads or extensions to
existing private roads shall not be permitted unless the private road is in a Plan
of Condominium. New rights-of-way, in the form of private driveways, may
be granted by the Committee of Adjustment for access only to parcels that are
presently land locked. All proposed rights-of-way for existing land locked
parcels must be developed from an existing public road which is maintained
year round and is of a standard acceptable to the Township. The creation of a
new lot on such a road is not permitted.
All lots fronting on private roads or individual rights-of-way shall be subject
to Site Plan Control and be subject to a Holding Provision in the implementing
Zoning By-law that prohibits any enlargement, renovation or addition to a
dwelling unit that existed on the date this plan was adopted by Council
requiring a permit under the Building Code Act until the occupant satisfies the
requirements of Section H1.4.3. Once these requirements are satisfied, the
Holding Provision shall be lifted by the Township.
Hl.4.3
Conditions under which Holding Provision will be removed
The following criteria have to be satisfied before Council will remove a
Holding Provision applying to lots that are subject to Sections H1.4.1 or
H1.4.2:
a) The use on the lot must be permitted by the implementing Zoning By-
law.
b) The lot and all buildings and structures on the lot shall comply with
the implementing Zoning By-law.
c) The appropriate approvals from the Simcoe County District Health
Unit or appropriate agency are obtained for sewage disposal and a
potable water supply is available.
d) The property owner, at his expense, enters into a Site Plan Agreement

SECTION H2 - PERMANENT VERSUS SEASONAL
OCCUPANCY
The policies of this section apply to properties that were zoned to permit only the
seasonal occupancy of a dwelling unit on the date the Plan was adopted by Council.
These properties are located on the shorelines of Lake Simcoe and Bass Lake, parts of the
Sugarbush settlement area and a chalet residential subdivision known as Medonte Hills in
the former Township ofMedonte.
Many of the dwellings in the areas described above were designed for seasonal occupancy
and as a result, may be serviced by septic systems that are not designed in accordance
with current standards.
Given that many of these dwellings are now being occupied on a year-round basis and the
majority are serviced by municipal roads that are maintained on a year-round basis, it is
the intent of this Plan that the new implementing Zoning By-law permit both seasonal
and permanent occupancy in these areas. The By-law will also recognize uses that
existed on the date the implementing Zoning By-law is passed by Council.
However, these lots shall also be subject to a Holding Provision in the implementing
Zoning By-law that prohibits any enlargement, renovation or addition to a dwelling unit
requiring a permit under the Building Code Act until the occupant obtains written
confirmation from the appropriate agencies that the septic system servicing the dwelling
conforms to current standards. In addition, confirmation must be received that indicates
that the well servicing the dwelling, if there is a well supplying water to the dwelling, is
located on the same lot as the dwelling. Once such confirmation is obtained, the Holding
Provision shall be lifted by the Township.

SECTION H3 - HERITAGE AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL
RESOURCES
ID.I
OBJECTIVES
.
To recognize that the maintenance of the Municipality's heritage resources
will contribute to the preservation of the Township's character.
.
To ensure that the nature and location of heritage and archaeological resources
are known and considered before land use decisions are made.
.
To prevent the demolition, destruction, inappropriate alteration or use of
cultural heritage resources and encourage development which is adjacent to
significant cultural heritage resources to be of an appropriate scale and
character.
ID.2
POliCIES
H3.2.1
Intent of the Official Plan
It is the intent of this Plan that the Township's heritage resources be
identified, conserved and enhanced whenever practical, and that all new
development should occur in a manner which respects the Municipality's
physical heritage. The heritage resources of the Township generally include
archaeological sites, buildings and structural remains of historical and
architectural value, heritage landscapes and rural, village and urban areas of
development which are of historic and scenic interest.
H3.2.2
Establishment of a LACAC
A Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) may be
established pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act or any successor legislation
to advise and assist Council in all matters related to cultural heritage resource
conservation including public awareness of heritage, heritage planning and
Heritage Act designation located within the Township.
H3.2.3
Designation of heritage properties
Pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act, Council may by By-law:
a) designate properties to be of historic and/or architectural value or
interest:

b) define an area within the municipality as an area to be examined for
designation as a heritage conservation district; and/or,
c) designate any area within the municipality as a hentage conservanon
distri ct.
H3.2.4
Restoration and/or rehabilitation of heritage resources
It is the intent of this Plan to encourage the restoration or rehabilitation of
identified heritage resources. Accordingly, Council may use available
Government funding assistance programs and may pass by-laws providing for
the making of grants or loans to the owners of designated or other inventoried
significant heritage resources for the purpose of paying for the whole or any
part of the cost of the alteration of such designated resources, on such items
and conditions as Council may prescribe, where such alteration will serve to
protect or enhance the heritage characteristics of the resource. In regard to the
expending of public funds, if any, in regard to heritage resource matters, the
primary focus should be in the identification of these resources and that the
expense of physical works and alterations should typically be left to the
private sector.
Council may encourage the restoration and retention of heritage properties
through the use of bonusing and density transfers and other means as
permitted by the Planning Act.
H3.2.5
Archaeological resources
Council recognizes that there may be archaeological remnants of prehistoric
and early historic habitation as well as archaeological potential areas within the
Municipality. Council may therefore require archaeological impact
assessments, survey and the preservation or rescue excavation of significant
archaeological resources which might be affected in any future development, in
cooperation with the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation.
Registered archaeological sites may be zoned in accordance with the Planning
Act.

SECTION H4 - ADULT LIFESTYLE COMMUNITIES
H4.1 OBJECTIVES
· To recognize the need to consider the development of self-contained
communities that are designed for an aging population.
To ensure that new adult lifestyle communities are sited In appropriate
locations.
· To minimize the impacts of an adult lifestyle community on the rural
character, the natural environment, agricultural uses and existing developed
areas.
H4.2 LOCA nON AND DEFINITION
An adult lifestyle community is a self-contained community that serves the
special needs of healthy, active and older people and which is designed to
provide a safe, secure and low maintenance environment to those people who
have generally retired from active working life. Given that the majority of an
adult lifestyle community's residents are active, on-site recreational and
community facilities are key components of the community.
No lands have been designated Adult Lifestyle Community in the Official Plan.
An Amendment to this Plan is therefore required before such a community can
be developed.
H4.3 PERMITIED USES
Pennitted uses on lands designated Adult Lifestyle Community include low
density residential uses such as single detached and semi-detached dwellings
and medium density residential uses such as townhouses, apartments and
multiple dwellings. The maximum pennitted density of such development
shall generally not exceed 7.0 units per gross hectare.
Pennitted accessory uses include recreational uses such as golf courses,
swimming pools and multi-use community centres and retail and personal
service uses serving the needs of the adult lifestyle community. Nursing
homes and/or retirement homes, in which some level of care is provided to its
residents, may also be permitted as an accessory use.

development are not designated AgTlcultural and provided Council is satisfied
that:
a) the development will have little or no impact on nearby agricultural
operations~
b) the site is to be accessed by municipal roads that can accommodate the
increased traffic generated by the adult lifestyle community;
c) the increased traffic generated by the community has little or no impact
on adjacent developed areas~
d) the development can be designed and sited to blend in with the rural
sUrToundings;
e) the development will not have a negative impact on the natural heritage
system; and,
t) the scale of the community, ifJocated adjacent to or in close proximity
to existing residential uses, is consistent with the scale and character of
the existing residential area.
H4.5 INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

adult lifestyle community shall be supported by:
a) an assessment of the number of units approved but not yet occupied in
similar developments in the County of Simcoe and the Greater Toronto
Area;

SECTION Jl- IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS
J1.1 ZONING BY-LAWS
A review of the municipality's five comprehensive Zoning By-laws shall be
undertaken to ensure that they properly implement the policies of this Plan.
The comprehensive Zoning By-laws will then be repealed and one new By-
law applying to the entire municipality passed by Council.
J1.2 TEMPORARY USE BY-LAWS
The municipality may pass temporary use by-laws permitting temporary
housing, temporary accommodation facilities, tourist uses and facilities,
parking lots, events and industrial uses related to the resource base of the area
and other similar uses. Such a use may not conform to the Official Plan.
These temporary uses may be authorized for a specific time period up to three
years and should be applied where it is considered inappropriate by the
municipality to permit the proposed use on a permanent or continuing basis
and where alternatives such as relocation are not practical. Subsequent by-
laws granting extensions of up to three years may be passed. However, once
the by-law has lapsed, the use must cease or otherwise will be viewed as
contravening the implementing Zoning By-law.
Prior to the approval of a temporary use Zoning By-law, Council shall be
satisfied that the following principles and criteria are met:
a) The proposed use shall be of a temporary nature and shall not entail
any major construction or investment on the part of the owner so that
the owner will not experience undue hardship in reverting to the
original use upon the termination of the temporary use;
b) The proposed use shall be compatible with adjacent land uses and the
character of the surrounding neighbourhood;
c) The proposed use shall not require the extension or expansion of
existing municipal services;
d) The proposed use shall not create any traffic circulation problems
within the area nor shall it adversely affect the volume and/or type of
traffic serviced by the area's roads;

e) Parking facilities required by the proposed use shall be provided
entirely on-site; and,
t) The proposed use shall generally be beneficial to the neighbourhood or
the community as a whole.
J1.3 HOLDING PROVISIONS
In accordance with the Planning Act, Council may pass a Zoning By-law
which identifies a use of land, but prohibits the actual development of the land
until a later date when identified conditions have been met. These conditions
are set out in the policies applying to the land use designations in this Plan.
The objective of utilizing a Holding Provision is to ensure that:
a) the appropriate phasing of development or redevelopment occurs;
b) development does not proceed until services and utilities are available
to service the development; and/or,
c) agreements respecting the design of the proposed development are
entered into.
Council, at any time, may designate any Zone or part of a Zone as a Holding
Zone by placing an "h" in conjunction with the Zone symbol in order to meet
one of the above-mentioned objectives. During the interim period, when the
Holding Zone is in place, uses permitted on the affected lands are limited to
existing uses only.
J1.4 SITE PLAN CONTROL
All areas of the Township are designated as proposed Site Plan Control areas
under the provisions of the Planning Act. All uses may fall under Site Plan
Control. All lands within designations that permit single detached dwellings
are also designated as proposed Site Plan Control areas in accordance with
Section 41(5) of the Planning Act. In addition, major projects related to the
production or transmission of energy may also fall under Site Plan Control.

SECTION J2 - NON-CONFORMING USES
J2.1 INTRODUCTION
As a general rule, existing uses that do not conform with the policies of this
Plan should gradually be phased out so that the affected land use may change
to a use which is in conformity with the goals of the Official Plan and the
intent of the implementing Zoning By-law. In some instances, it may be
necessary and practical to allow the replacement, extension or enlargement of
non-conforming uses through the granting of a minor variance or by placing the
use in an appropriate zone in the implementing Zoning By-law. Council shall,
therefore, have regard for the following principles:
a) The feasibility of acquiring the property for holding, sale, lease or
development by the Township for a more appropriate permitted use;
and,
b) The possibility of relocating the non-conforming use to another site.
J2.2 ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT
If the property cannot be acquired or relocated, the Committee of Adjustment
may, without an amendment to this Plan, allow extensions to a non-
conforming use. Prior to such approval, the Committee shall consider the
following:
a) The size of the extension in relation to the existing operation;
b) Whether the proposed extension is compatible with the character of
the surrounding area;
c) The characteristics of the existing use in relation to noise, vibration,
fumes, dust, smoke, odours, lighting and traffic generation and the
degree to which any of these factors may be increased or decreased by
the extension; and,
d) The possibilities of reducing these nuisances through buffering,
building setbacks, landscaping, Site Plan Control and other means to
improve the existing situation, as well as minimize the problems from
extension.

J2.3 ROLE OF THE IMPLEMENTING ZONING BY-LAW
Existing uses which do not conform with the policies of this Official Plan may
be zoned in the Comprehensive By-law in accordance with their present use,
provided that:
a) the Zoning will not permit any change of use or performance standard
that may negatively impact adjoining uses~
b) the uses do not constitute a danger to surrounding land uses, humans or
animals by virtue of their hazardous nature~
c) the uses do not interfere with the appropriate development of the
surrounding lands~ and,
d) when the use is discontinued, re-zoning may only take place in
accordance with the policies and intent of this Plan.

SECTION J3 - AMENDMENTS TO TIlE PLAN
It is the intent of this Plan to serve as the basis for all land use decisions in the Township
for the next 20 years. It is not the intent of this Plan to be utilized as a development
control document. As a result., this Plan identifies enough land area for residential,
commercial and industrial uses to last until the year 2016. Similarly, the limits of the
lands which are identified as agricultural or rural will not change.
It is therefore a policy of this Plan that this Plan should only be amended when the
policies of this Plan have been found not to address issues or alternatively, issues have
been raised with respect to site specific proposals that must be addressed in a
comprehensive manner.
For this reason, the Township will not consider site specific amendments to this Plan,
unless they are specifically anticipated by this Plan, without associated policy
amendments for a period of at least five years after its approval by the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing. Following that five year period, the Township will
review applications for Amendments in the context of the Plan as a whole and consider
whether or not such Amendments should be dealt with in the course of an Official Plan
Review.
Council may eliminate notice to the public and a public meeting for a minor Official Plan
Amendment which does the following:
.
Changes the numbers of sections or the order of sections in the Plan, but does
not add or delete sections;
.
Consolidates previously approved Official Plan Amendments In a new
document without altering any approved policies or maps;
.
Corrects grammatical or typographical errors in the Plan which do not affect
the intent or affect the policies or maps;
.
Rewords policies or re-illustrates mapping to clarify the intent and purpose of
the Plan or make it easier to understand without affecting the intent or
purpose of the policies or maps; and,
.
Translates measurements to different units of measure or changes reference to
legislation or changes to legislation where the legislation has changed.
In all other instances, notification to the residents of the Township of public meetings
held by Council shall be given in accordance with the procedures of The Planning Act.

SECTION J4 - INTERPRETATION OF LAND USE
DESIGNATION BOUNDARIES
The boundaries between land uses designated on the Schedules to this Plan are
approximate except where they meet with roads, railway lines, rivers, pipeline routes,
transmission lines, lot lines or other clearly defined physical features and in these cases
are not open to flexible interpretation. Where the general intent of the document is
maintained, minor adjustments to boundaries will not require amendment to this Plan.
It is recognized that the boundaries of the Environmental Protection One designation and
Environmental Protection Two overlay designation may be imprecise and subject to
change. The Township shall detennine the extent of the environmental areas on a site by
site basis when considering development proposals, in consultation with the appropriate
agencies. Any refinement to either the Environmental Protection One designation or
Environmental Protection Two overly designation shall not require an Amendment to this
Plan.
Where a lot is within more than one designation on the Schedules to this Plan, each
portion of the lot shall be used in accordance with the applicable policies of that
designation.

SECTION J5 -EXISTING DRAFT PLAN APPROVED
RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS
A considerable number of vacant lots existed in Draft Approved Plans of Subdivision in
the rural area on the date this Plan was adopted by Council. Some of these subdivisions
are located in areas that have not been identified in this Plan as being appropriate for
development since such development may have a impact on the rural character of the area
and on the cost effectiveness of providing municipal services. In addition, the
development of a number of these subdivisions may have a cumulative negative impact on
the natural heritage system that this Plan is trying to protect.
In this regard, it is the intent of Council to ask the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing to amend the conditions of Draft Approval for these subdivisions to include a
condition which provides for the lapsing of a Draft Approval after an appropriate period
of time has elapsed. The intent of including such a condition is to provide the approval
authority with the option of withdrawing the Draft Approval of a subdivision that has
not proceeded to the development stage in an expeditious manner.

SECTION J6 - OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
The assumptions, objectives and policies of this Plan shall be reviewed at least once every
five years at a meeting of Council, which shall be advertised in accordance with the
Planning Act, as amended.
The five year review shall consist of an assessment of:
the degree to which the objectives of this Plan have been met;
the effectiveness of the policies in the Plan in soLving problems and realizing
desires;
· the effectiveness of policy guidelines in protecting water quality, heritage
resources, natural resources and habitat and the environment within the
municipality; and,
the continuing appropriateness of the location and amount of land designated
Industrial in the Highway 11 Corridor.
