Notice of Public Meeting - Zoning By-law Amendment (Greenhouse Policy) |
|
Meeting Date: October 15, 2019, 7:00pm Council Chambers
Zoning By-law Amendment by the Town of Kingsville
Purpose of the Amendment: To Introduce New Greenhouse Developlment Regulations
The Town of Kingsville has initiated a Housekeeping Amendment to the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law (1-2014), as amended, to implement changes resulting from works undertaken by the Greenhouse Policy Review Committee during the last several months. The changes will include the following:
i) revision of the current policies applicable to the development of greenhouses; ii) amendment to the existing agricultural zones to implement the proposed changes.
Council will also be presented with the Committee’s proposed changes to policies in the Official Plan that apply to both development in general and greenhouses specifically. The intent is for Council to endorse (not approve) the changes for inclusion in the 5 year Official Plan Review Process which will be presented later this year to the public and Council at a separate meeting.
Residents, property owners, business owners and all interested citizens are invited to attend this Public Meeting to learn how the proposed amendments affect them, to ask questions and express concerns to Council. The draft amending by-law will be available on the Town’s website or at the Town office upon request for review. A location map is not provided with this notice, as the proposed amendment applies to all lands within the corporation limits of the Town of Kingsville.

Meeting Date: October 15, 2019
Application for Zoning By-law Amendment & Site Plan Approval by: M & M Farms Ltd. 1775 Road 4 E (County Road 18)
Description: The subject land is a 0.356 ha (0.88 ac.) rural residential parcel. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing dwelling and outbuilding from the property to construct a new bunkhouse to supplement their worker housing needs on the abutting lot. While the lot is in the A1 zone its size limits the uses, not permitting a bunkhouse. In addition bunkhouses are supposed to be located on the same lot as the parcel they are servicing. The proposed amendment would permit a bunkhouse accessory to the abutting greenhouse complex. Site plan approval would be required to bring the subject lands under the blanket of the same agreement as the abutting parcel.

Meeting Date: October 15, 2019
Applications for Official Plan Amendment & Zoning By-law Amendment by: Chris Chevalier 318 County Road 8
Description: The Town of Kingsville has received the above-noted applications for lands located on the south side of County Road 8, east of Cameron Side Road. The subject property is designated ‘Agricultural’ and by the Official Plan and zoned ‘Agriculture (A1)’ under the Kingsville Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
The subject property is a 20.23 ha (50 ac.) farm parcel with a single detached house and several outbuildings. The applicant is proposing to develop an internal growing operation (micro license) for the production of cannabis (Medical Marihuana Production Facility (MMPF). Under Section 4.46 of the Kingsville Zoning By-law an amendment is required to permit an MMPF subject to the provisions of that section. The Kingsville Official Plan limits consideration of zoning amendments for an MMPF to replacement or retrofit of existing agricultural buildings or in a greenhouse-type structure. Since the proposed development is a new build an amendment of the Official Plan is required to site-specifically permit a MMPF. If the requested amendments are approved the next step would be submission and approval of a site plan for the proposed building and site improvements as per Section 4.46.
