Decision details
OPA #17 seeks to re-designate approximately 242.82 ha (600 acres) of land from "Rural", "Mineral Aggregate" and "Environmental Protection" to "Rural-Exception Five" and "Environmental Protection", as well as expand the permitted uses within the Rural-Exception Five designation.
The proposed new or expanded uses are:
- 36 villas with garages
- garage/automobile storage buildings
- 2500 sq. ft. clubhouse facility
- staff parking area
- viewing/parking area for a max of 3000 spectators
- commercial and garage development
- recreational trails
- the use of public address systems
Modifications to OPA 17 were made to ensure consistency with the PPS 2020. Modifications were made to address relevant Provincial interests related to on-site private servicing and the identification and protection of Provincially Significant Wetlands and habitat of endangered and threatened species. Specifically, modifications were made to ensure demonstration of no-negative impacts on groundwater quality/quantity as a result of the increased reliance on private servicing (PPS policy 1.6.6.4); the identification and protection of Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) from any incompatible development (PPS policies 2.1.4 a) & 2.1.8) and the appropriate permitting of development in the habitat of endangered and threatened species in accordance with (PPS policy 2.1.7).
The last day that this decision can be appealed is December 2, 2020.
