�� AND ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT BY THE
WO. CORPORATION CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham refused an application for an
Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment on the 2nd day of March 2017 in accordance with Section 22 and
34 of the PLANNING ACT.
THE PURPOSE of the official plan amendment is to change the land use designation on a 28,848 m2(6 acre)
parcel from "Agriculture" to "Site Specific Agriculture", by: adding to section 2.1.10 Supplementary Farm
Dwellings, section 2.1.10.3, or making a general amendment to section 2.1.10.1 d), allowing for the
development of a farm related oversized bunkhouse in the Agriculture land use policies for the subject lands;
and by adding "Site Specific Agriculture"for the subject lands to Schedule 'Al' Land Use of the Official Plan.
The amendments apply specifically to lands located in Lot 14, Concession 2 and known municipally as 4964
Plank Road.
THE PURPOSE of the zoning by-law amendment request is to add site-specific zoning provisions to the
subject site to allow for the development of an oversized farm related bunkhouse for seasonal farm labourers
on a 28,848 m2(6 acre) parcel, by: adding a new section in the Special Agricultural (A2-XX)zone as it relates
to minimum lot area, minimum rear yard, minimum landscaped open space, and to allow for the oversized
bunkhouse;and by amending Schedule"A", Map No. 14 by changing the zone marking from Al to A2-XX.
THE EFFECT of the amendment would be to allow the accommodation of a farm related bunkhouse with a
maximum of 50 seasonal farm labourers in a building not greater than 437 m2 (4,700 ft2) gross floor area
including the basement on a 24,484 m2(6 acre)agricultural parcel.
THE REASONS FOR REFUSAL of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are that the proposed is
not consistent with policies in the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 for supplementary farm dwellings located
on individual farms, it is not consistent with the Official Plan policies due to the intensity of accommodating 50
seasonal workers on a site with reduced lot area and existing apple storage facilities, it is not consistent with
Official Plan policies for the preferred scale of 167 m2(1800 ft2)for supplementary farm dwellings and it does
not comply with Zoning By-law regulations for minimum lot area and rear yard setback in the Agricultural (Al)
Zone. Council considered all written and oral submissions received regarding this application, the effect of
which helped Council to make an informed decision.
AND TAKE NOTICE THAT a person or public body that requested an amendment to the Zoning By-law or
Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham may appeal the refusal of the requested amendment to the Ontario
Municipal Board in respect of all or any part of the requested amendment by filing a notice of appeal with the
