Explanation of the Purpose and Effect of the Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Z/01/25 (3911 Concession Road 3)

An application has been submitted for a Zoning By-law Amendment for property located on Con 3 N PT Lot 24, municipally addressed as 3911 Concession Road 3 in the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio.

The Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) application proposes to rezone the subject lands to facilitate the severance of a 1.44-hectare (3.55-acre) surplus dwelling parcel with 62 meters of frontage on Concession Road 3, whereas Zoning By-law 03-57 requires surplus dwelling parcels to be between 0.4 hectares and 1 hectare in size. The retained agricultural parcel would be 8.4 hectares, whereas a minimum of 36 hectares is required, with 82 meters of frontage, whereas 150 meters is required. The ZBA would also rezone the retained lands to prohibit residential uses and ensure their designation for agricultural purposes only.

A site-specific Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) is proposed to remove residential use permissions from the agricultural lands to be sold to H.J Vander Zaag Farms as part of their farm consolidation. The ZBA application will be processed prior to the Consent application in this case.
