E.S.A. Designation:

E.S.A.# 32 – Upland between West Creek and Coghlan Creek (Rating - #3) E.S.A.# 42 – West Creek (Rating - #1)

BACKGROUND:

The Agricultural Land Commission Act allows Council the opportunity to provide recommendations on exclusion applications made to the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission. The basis on which Council normally makes its recommendations is the policies of the Township’s Official Community Plan and, in this case, the land use policies of the Gloucester Community Plan. The subject property is designated “Service and General Industrial” in the Gloucester Community Plan. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The application is pursuant to Section 30(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to exclude 1.8 ha (4.5 acres) of land located at 27078 – 56 Avenue from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The purpose of the exclusion is to facilitate future rezoning to an industrial use in accordance with the Gloucester Community Plan. The subject property and the property immediately west are the last two properties in the Gloucester Community Plan area that have not been excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve despite being designated “Service and General Industrial.” Several other surrounding properties south of 56 Avenue have been excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve since 2001. The subject property, and several surrounding properties, are privately held and were not part of the lands originally assembled and developed by the developer of Gloucester Industrial Estates.

In accordance with the Agricultural Land Commission’s procedures for exclusion applications, the applicant has circulated details of the proposal to the adjacent property owners, posted a sign on site, and placed advertisements in the local newspaper indicating that the property is under application for exclusion. One (1) submission (Attachment B) was received from the public regarding the application. Adjacent Uses: Surrounding land uses include: North: South: East: West:

56 Avenue, beyond which is an industrial development (Freybe Gourmet Foods) zoned Industrial Zone M-2A and property designated as conservation area; Vacant lands zoned Rural Zone RU-10; Property zoned Rural Zone RU-1 with a home and a barn; and, Property zoned Rural Zone RU-1 with a home and a barn in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

It is noted that a small watercourse flowing south-north bisects the subject site. Protection of the watercourse will be secured at the subsequent rezoning stage. Servicing: Full urban services (road, water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer) exist to the site. Prior to future development occurring, the applicant will be required to confirm the adequacy of each service for the proposed use. AGRICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:

Pursuant to Council policies and in consideration of the proposal’s compliance with the Township’s Official Community Plan, it is recommended that the application be forwarded to the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Council for information. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:

Although currently located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, the subject property is designated “Service and General Industrial” in the Gloucester Community Plan. Staff recommend that the exclusion application be supported by Council and forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission for review as it complies with the Township’s Official Community Plan and the land use policies of the Gloucester Community Plan. Support of the exclusion is required by Council prior to the proponent obtaining approval from the Agricultural Land Commission.

If the exclusion application is approved by the Agricultural Land Commission, the proponent will be required to make rezoning and Development Permit applications in order to develop the site for industrial purposes. When such occurs, Council will have the opportunity to review the development details and obtain public input. Respectfully submitted,

Patrick Ward DEVELOPMENT PLANNER for COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION PW/pw
