Proposal details
Take notice that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing received a privately initiated application requesting an amendment to the Minister’s Zoning Order, filed as Ontario Regulation 102/72, for lands municipally known as 4620 Balsam Road in the City of Pickering, Durham Region (“the subject lands”). The subject lands are legally described as Part of Lot 5, Concession 8.
The application proposes to permit a single-detached dwelling on the subject lands. The purpose of the amendment is to facilitate residential development not used in connection with an agricultural operation.
A map of the subject lands is attached below.
Other Information
The Minister’s Zoning Order, filed as Ontario Regulation 102/72 under the Planning Act, was made in 1972 to protect lands in proximity to a potential future Pickering airport. The Minister’s Zoning Order generally restricts land uses to agricultural uses and accessory uses, including a single dwelling used in connection with an agricultural operation. Section 47(8) of the Planning Act allows the Minister to amend or revoke the Minister’s Zoning Order.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing recently consulted on a proposal to amend O. Reg 102/72. For more information, please see the ERO posting: Notice of Proposed Amendment: Minister's Zoning Order – Ontario Regulation 102/72 | Environmental Registry of Ontario.
