Amendment No. 18 and Zoning By-law Z656-2017 (Bonnefield Farmland Ont. III Inc.)
Moved by: Deputy Mayor Southwick
Seconded by: Councillor Breyer
THAT Staff Report DS-07/17 regarding the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments for the
Bonnefield Farmland Ontario III Inc. be received for information;
AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham take the following
action with respect to the applications by Bonnefield Farmland Ontario III Inc. relating to the
property located at 4964 Plank Road:
The request to change the land use designation on a 24,848 m2 (6 acre) parcel of land from
"Agricultural" to Site Specific Agricultural designation in the Official Plan of the Municipality of
Bayham; and to change the zoning on the same lands from Agricultural (A1) Zone to a Site
Specific Agricultural (A1-29) Zone in Zoning By-Law Z456-2003 to permit an oversized
supplementary farm (bunkhouse) building on a 24,848 m2 (6 ac) parcel of land on the existing
agricultural lot for 50 seasonal farm workers and a bunkhouse with 437 m2 (4704 square feet) of
floor area BE REFUSED for the following reasons:
a) The requested Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are not consistent
with Section 2.3.3.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 where Council has
provided for supplementary farm dwellings which may be located on individual
farms.
b) The requested amendment is not consistent with Section 2.1.1.2 of the
Municipality of Bayham Official Plan where there is likely compatibility conflict
with abutting land uses due to the intensity of accommodating fifty (50) seasonal
workers on a site with reduced lot area and existing apple storage facilities.
c) The requested amendment is not consistent with Section 2.1.10 of the Official
Plan which allows supplementary farm dwellings where the preferred scale is 167
m2 (1800 sq.ft) of floor area and one storey in height.
d) The subject lands do not meet the minimum lot area of 20 ha for supplementary
farm dwelling; and the conceptual plan shows a reduced rear yard setback of
4.98 m as set out in the Agriculture (A1) in Section 5 of Zoning By-Law Z456-
2003.
e) The applicant has not indicated the intent to remove the existing supplementary
farm accommodation located on individual orchard farms owned or operated by
the applicant in the Municipality.
f) The conceptual plan does not indicate outdoor recreation space accessory to the
bunkhouse.
