A public meeting was held on an application submitted by Tulloch Geomatics Inc. on behalf of 1000328150 Ontario Inc. The applicants are applying to rezone the subject property from the exiting Rural (R) zoning to a General Commercial Special (C1S) zone in order to permit the construction of an animal hospital with an accessory kennel use. The applicant is also seeking approval for a consent application to create an additional lot that would be used for future commercial development, with no current planned uses.

Steve McArthur from Tulloch presented the application. The MTO commented that the current entrance location does not meet their desirable offset criteria for a private entrance to a commercial development, from a major provincial highway. The MTO does recognize that access options are limited, and that commercial development at this intersection is identified in the Official Plan. The MTO will work with the developer and the Municipality to find a common solution.

Director of Community Services recommended that a Holding Symbol be placed on the southerly lot until such time as the MTO's requirements are met. This will allow for the rezoning to go through, but place a hold on future development until the MTO is satisfied. 

No public input was received at the public meeting and the application was approved.

    AND WHEREAS the application is being made in conjunction with a consent to sever application that would seek to create one new lot from the subject lands;

    AND WHEREAS the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020;

    AND WHEREAS the application is in conformity with the policies contained within the Official Plan for the Municipality;

    THEREFORE BE IT that the application for a zoning by-law amendment be recommended for approval.
