Application by Stephen Easterbrook for an Agricultural Land Reserve Non-Adhering Residential Use and Rezoning at 17720 River Road from “Agriculture (AG1)” Zone to “Agriculture (AG3)” Zone

The City's "Agriculture (AGl)" zone limits the number ofresidences to one residence per parcel. The City's "Agriculture (AG3)" zone allows seasonal farm labour accommodation, in addition to the principal residence. This proposal includes rezoning the subject site from "Agriculture (AG 1 )" to "Agriculture (AG3)" and provides a site-specific exception to permit full-time fann labour accommodation. The "Agriculture (AG3)" zone includes a number of provisions related to seasonal farm labour, including requiring a minimum farm operation size of 8.09 ha. This provision was included to ensure that additional residences are targeted for large-scale farming operations where additional farm labour accommodations are necessary. Although the subject parcel falls below the minimum site size typically required to support a sufficiently sized farming operation that would justify the need for an additional residential structure, the applicant has demonstrated that egg production is a unique farming operation which can be concentrated on a smaller area than typical soil-based agriculture. The proposed amendment would permit full-time farm labour accommodation on the site in a dwelling of up to 116.2 m2 (1,250 ft2), generally consistent with the size of the original dwelling unit.
