required to meet the standards and
requirements of the provincial and
federal governments. Development
cannot occur until the holding zone
(-h) is removed by council.
Prior to the removal of any -h
symbol, council shall be satisfied by
the developer that all conditions of a
development agreement have been
or will be met.
Fisher reported the Provincial
Policy Statement permits agricultur
al related uses in prime agricultural
areas.
They have to be compatible with,
and not hinder, surrounding agricul
tural operations.
She noted that the Huron East
official plan indicates that
where possible commercial and
industrial uses shall be directed to a
nearby urban settlement-area, the
proposed facility could have com
patibility issues within an urban set
tlement.
The official plan further states that
agricultural, commercial, industrial
uses (related to the processing
of agricultural products) are permit
ted in agricultural areas by rezon
ing.
The rezoning must address the fol
lowing items;
* the use is required in proximity
to farms;
* any permitted accessory resi
dence will remain part of the indus
trial, commercial holding;
* the portion of the business relat
ing to agriculture must relate to
commercial scale agriculture and
not to those goods or services which
are normally required by the general
public;
* applicable provincial require
ments are met such as certificate of
approval;
* additional requirements are met
through site plan control.
The subject proposal would meet
the above criteria provided that

this facility and that the standards
and requirements of the provincial
and federal governments are
met.
Fisher noted the existing AG3
zone on this property has a long his
tory of commercial livestock activi
ty and would be complimentary to
the proposed use.
She added a development agree
ment with the municipality is
required and the property will also
be placed under a site control
plan.
A facility of this nature would
need to be located where it can
access municipal services, therefore
it would either be in a settlement
area or adjacent to one.
Any compatibility issues related
to noise or smell should be
addressed by the standards and
requirements of the provincial and
federal governments and the devel
opment agreement/site plan con
trol.
The rezoning application received
nine letters of support from area res
idents.
