Date of Meeting: June 25,2018 Applications: Official Plan Amendment OPA/01/18 under Section 22 & Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA/06/18 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.P. 13
Owner: 2623391 Ontario Limited Purpose of Applications: The subject land consists of two farm lots one with an existing dwelling and outbuildings and one vacant farm parcel. The property totals 38 ha (94 ac.) and is currently under active farm use. The lands will be consolidated into one lot for the purpose of the proposed development. The applicant is proposing to develop a greenhouse complex on the subject lands however the proposed use is for a medical marihuana production facility (MMPF). Under Section 4.46 of the Kingsville Zoning By-law an amendment would be required to permit an MMPF subject to the provisions of that section. It will also be necessary to rezone the A2 parcel to match that of the abutting A1 farm to permit any proposed bunkhouse in the future. However, the Kingsville Official Plan limits consideration of zoning amendments for an MMPF to only existing greenhouses and not new builds. Therefore, in addition to the required zoning amendment the Official Plan would require a site-specific amendment to permit a new greenhouse build for use as a MMPF.

Owner: Allegro Acres Inc. Purpose of the Application: The subject land is an 18.6 ha (46 ac.) greenhouse operation containing approximately 12.5 ha (31 ac.) of greenhouse along with support facilities.

The main requirements is that medical marihuana may be considered a permitted use on agricultural properties on a site specific basis in existing greenhouses but subject to certain requirements. (See 4.46 attached) The subject property has an approved site plan, however, in order to permit the proposed use relief in part or in whole will need to be granted from Section c), d), e) g) and i).

Date of Meeting: July 9, 2018 Application: Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA/08/18 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. C.P. 13
Owner: Great Northern Seedlings Purpose of the Application: The subject land is a 7.3 ha (18 ac.) farm parcel containing approximately 2.2 ha (5.5 ac.) of greenhouse along with support facilities. The property also has site plan approval for up to an additional 2.95 ha (7.29 ac.) of greenhouse. The applicant is seeking approval of an amendment to permit the growing of medical marihuana in the existing greenhouse. At the May 28, 2018 Council meeting the application was deferred until such time as the applicant could provide details on an odour control plan that would mitigate any impact on surrounding uses. The applicant has provided additional details that will be outlined in the report to Council. However, it will be suggested that provisions be added to the requested zoning by-law amendment to require a detailed odour control plan that will outline what system will be designed and implemented as part of the production facility development. The details of the original notice dated May 7, 2018 remain the same.

Date of Meeting: July 9, 2018 Application: Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA/10/18 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. C.P. 13
Owner: J.C. Fresh Farms Ltd. Purpose of the Application: The subject land is a 29.1 ha (72 ac.) farm parcel containing approximately 13.55 ha (33.5 ac.) of greenhouse along with support facilities. The property also has site plan approval from 2006 with additional expansion capacity. The applicant is seeking approval of an amendment to permit the growing of medical marihuana in the existing greenhouse. At the May 28, 2018 Council meeting the application was deferred until such time as an odour control by-law was implemented by the Town however since the issue at hand is related directly to potential odour from the proposed medical marihuana production facility it will be suggested that provisions be added to the requested zoning by-law amendment to require a detailed odour control plan that will detail what system will be designed and implemented as part of the production facility development. The details of the original notice dated May 7, 2018 remain the same.

Date of Meeting: July 9, 2018 Application: Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA/18/18 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. C.P. 13
Onwers: 1659437 Ontario Ltd., (1555-1557 County Rd 34 E) Hillside Hothouse Ltd.,(!541 County Rd 34 E) Rico Roots Plant Farm Inc.(1156 Road 3 E), Giovanni & Franca Vespa (1000 County Road 34) & 617885 Ontario Ltd. o/a JEM Farms (1581 - 1585 County Rd 34 E) Purpose of the Application: In March of 2018 Council approved a zoning amendment on the subject parcels to add a medical marihuana production facility as an additional permitted use. Since that time Council has had several additional requests to add this use as permitted to other existing greenhouse facilities as well. With the increased interest and concern expressed about odour and lighting controls in these new operations Council has deferred any additional requests until such time as additional measures are taken to demonstrate how odour and lighting will be control. The proposed amendment in this case is to add regulations to the existing zoning on all properties that have received approval for a medical marihuana production facility to require the submission of an odour control plan which will clearly outline the details of the system to be used. As each of these facilities will also require site plan amendments to their existing approval lighting controls will be addressed in greater detail at that stage. |
