PURPOSE AND EFFECT
The purpose of this zoning by-law amendment (File No. Z02-2026) is to amend the zoning on the lands at Concession 9 West Part Lot 18 East Part Lot 19 (40560 Howick-Turnberry Road) as shown in the attached schedules from the existing AG1 (General Agriculture) Zone to create a new special AG4 zone.
A corresponding consent to sever application (File No. C71-2025) has been provisionally approved to facilitate a surplus farm dwelling severance. As a condition of that severance, a re-zoning to recognize any resulting zoning deficiencies is required. The proposed severed land, currently containing a residence, a detached additional residential unit (ARU), a horse barn and multiple run-in sheds, is proposed to be re-zoned to AG4-17 (Agriculture Small Holding – Special Provisions) to recognize the detached ARU as a permitted use.
