AMENDMENT NO. 1
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this amendment is to change the land use designation on lands in the Municipality of
Bayham from"Agriculture"to"Industrial"in the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham. The
amendment is intended to accommodate an existing salvage yard and recycling depot.
2. LOCATION
The area affected by this amendment comprises approximately 2.3 hectares(5.6 acres). The subject
lands are situated on the north side of Heritage Line, east of Toll Gate Road, in Part Lot 131,
Concession 7,N.S.T.R.,in the Municipality of Bayham.
3. BASIS OF'!'Iii AMENDMENT
The subject lands are situated along a portion of Heritage Line east of the village of Straffordville,
which consists of a mixture of smaller rural residential uses and tobacco farm operations. The
purpose of the industrial use,is for the temporary storage,salvage,recycling and transfer off site,of
scrap metal, including vehicles. This is an existing use,which has been in operation for several
years. The subject lands were taken out of agricultural production in 1990,as a result of a zoning
by-law amendment and severance,where a larger agricultural parcel was consolidated with abutting
agricultural lands and the subject site was retained for residential purposes.
Section 2.1.3 of the Provincial Policy Statement and Section 4.2.1.3 of the Official Plan states that
lands may be excluded from prime agricultural areas for non-residential uses,provided that there is a
demonstrated need for the land to be redesignated, and there is no other reasonable alternative
locations that avoid prime agricultural areas,or could be located on lower priority lands within the
prime agricultural area. The existing salvage and recycling business has operated successfully at this
location for several years supporting the"need"for the proposed use.In addition,the subject lands
are located on a combination of C.L.I. Class 4& 6 soils and are not Iocated on soils identified as
suitable for"specialty crops". The subject lands are in fact located on the lowest priority agricultural
lands within the rural area of the Municipality. Most other locations in the Municipality are likely to
have C.L.I.Class 3 or higher priority agriculture lands.
Section 4.2.2.1 of the Official Plan for the Municipality of Bayham states that proposals for
industrial uses in the Agriculture designation will be subject to site-specific amendments to the
Official Plan, based on criteria outlined in Section 4.2.2.1.4 and 4.2.2.7 of the Plan. The subject
lands and existing residential use complies with the applicable criteria under Section 4.2.2.1.4,as
described below. In order to demonstrate conformity with criteria(e)regarding ground water and
criteria (j) regarding the impact on the surrounding natural environment, the proponent will
implement the waste management practices set out in the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in
publication"C-11-1 Procedures for the Handling and Disposal of Selected Wastes from Retail Motor
Vehicle Servicing Facilities". These procedures will,be part of the site plan agreement between the
owner and Municipality.
With respect to the subsections of Section 4.2.2.1.4,the subject lands and proposed uses:
a) Comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formula I;
b) Have frontage on an opened public road,Heritage Line;
c) Are not in proximity to other land uses which may create Iand use conflicts;
d) Are not be proximity to any hazardous lands;
e) Have a lot size and ground water condition that is suitable for a private potable
water and private sanitary sewage system;
f) The size of the parcel conforms to the provisions of the Zoning By-law;
g) The existing road access does not pose a traffic hazard due to road curves, road
grades or existing development which may reduce visibility;
h) The uses will not affect any natural resource areas as identified by the Official Plan;
i) There is sufficient justification for the need for the use and the location as described
in paragraph two(2)above; and
j) The potential impact will be regulated through the zoning by-law and site plan
agreement, so that it does not detract from the surrounding natural/rural
environment.

Proposals for rural industrial uses must also comply with criteria outlined in Section 4.2.2.7.1 of the
Plan. Rezoning of the subject lands to an appropriate zone will be subject to approval of this
Official Plan amendment and entering into a site plan agreement with the Municipality of Bayham;
any potential noise or liquid waste pollution will be addressed in the site plan agreement and through
the implementation of the procedures set out in the Ministry of the Environment document"C-11-1"
as mentioned above;the salvage/recycling operation will not require connection to the municipal
sewage disposal system and is considered a"dry"industrial use; the Elgin-St.Thomas Health Unit
will ensure that the existing private water and sewage disposal services are adequate; there is
adequate room for required parking and the nature of the industrial use would not create any parking
concerns which could impact vehicular or pedestrian safety along Heritage Line; and buffering of
the industrial use for the adjacent residential land uses will be addressed in the site plan agreement.
The lands subject to this amendment would accommodate an existing industrial use with an
accessory residential dwelling pursuant to the approval of a site plan agreement and implementing
Zoning By-law Amendment.
