Director of Planning and Development Date: August 9, 2018 Re: Bruce County Official Plan Amendment File No. 234-18.49

Mason c/o Misch, West Part Lot 12, North Part Lot 11, Concession 3 (Arran), Municipality of Arran-Elderslie

Preliminary Recommendation:

Subject to review of objections and submissions arising from the public hearing:

That Bruce County Official Plan Amendment 234-18.49 for the properties described as West Part Lot 12, North Part Lot 11, Concession 3 (Arran) be approved and the necessary by-law be forwarded to Council for adoption.

Background:

The application proposes to sever a 0.93 ha (2.3 ac) lot with a surplus farm house and accessory buildings from a 24.28 ha (60 ac) lot. In order to facilitate the severance, a Bruce County Official Plan amendment and zoning bylaw amendment are required.

The County Official Plan amendment is required to permit the original Crown surveyed lot to be severed into more than two parts and to permit the retained lot to be less than 40 ha.

A public meeting for the Bruce County Official Plan amendment is scheduled for August 9th, 2018, and a public meeting for the zoning bylaw amendment is scheduled for August 13, 2018.

The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Bruce County Official Plan, and the intent and purpose of the local zoning by-law. At the time of writing this report, no public comments have been received, and no concerns were received from any agencies. Supporting documents related to this file are available on the Bruce County Website (direct live link) and in the paper file at the public meeting.

Matters Arising from Provincial Interests, Policy Statements or Plans

Under Section 3(5) of the Planning Act, the County “shall be consistent with” matters of provincial interest as set out in the Provincial Policy Statements (PPS). Agricultural Policies of the PPS permit the severance of a surplus farm dwelling provided that:

1. The new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services; and

2. The planning authority ensures that new residential dwellings are prohibited on any remnant parcel of farmland created by the severance. The approach used to ensure that no new residential dwellings are permitted on the remnant parcel may be recommended by the Province, or based on municipal approaches which achieve the same objective.

The proposed 0.93 ha (2.3 ac) severed lot meets the first criterion. The proposed zoning by-law amendment recommends that residential development be prohibited on the retained lands.

The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.

Matters Arising from the Bruce County Official Plan

The lands are designated Agricultural.

Under Section 6.5.3.3.3 Consents – Agricultural Areas, the severance of one Non-Farm lot within the Agricultural designation shall be considered where the lot will be for an existing residence and buildings surplus to a farming operation as a result of farm consolidation provided:

Section 6.5.3.3.3 Policy Comments

i) The owner of the lands to be severed is a ‘bona fide farmer’. For the purposes of this policy, the ‘bona fide farmer’ must: a) own and farm the lands on which the surplus dwelling is proposed to be severed from; b) own and farm other lands; and c) own a residence elsewhere, or reside as a tenant elsewhere, therefore rendering the residence on the subject farm surplus to their needs. In situations where the agricultural portion of the subject lands is rented in whole or in part to others, the owner of the subject lands shall not qualify as a ‘bona fide farmer’. A ‘bona fide farmer’ shall be defined as to include a limited company, sole proprietorship, incorporated company, numbered company, partnership, non-profit and other similar ownership forms.

In terms of ‘bona fide farmer’ criteria, the application is being processed as part of a pending farmland purchase. The purchaser is the agent on the application and has filed a purchase and sale agreement for the farm lands (exclusive of the lot to be severed); this avoids the dwelling being transferred to the buyer and then back to the current owner. The retained (farm) lands are to be transferred to the farmer on completion of the severance.

Tanner Misch (the agent) is a bona fide farmer.

Tanner owns a 10% stake in a family farming operation (co-owned by his dad and brother). The family corporation owns and farms 1090 acres of land in Arran Elderslie. One of the corporation lots contains Tanner’s current residence.

ii) The lot proposed for the residence and buildings surplus to the farming operation shall be limited in area and shall only be of sufficient size to accommodate the

The proposed non-farm residential lot will comprise 0.93 ha of land but will not include any actively-worked

residence surplus to the farming operation, accessory buildings (where including accessory buildings does not render the lot excessively large in the opinion of the Land Division Committee), a well and a sewage disposal system, while ensuring that as little land as possible is removed from the agricultural lands.

farm land.

The lot is large enough to accommodate the dwelling, septic system, well, and accessory buildings.

iii) The remnant agricultural lands shall be rezoned to prohibit the future erection of a residential dwelling of any type on the agricultural lands provided that a residential dwelling does not exist at the time of severance.

The retained parcel will be zoned accordingly.

iv) This Official Plan requires the severance of a dwelling/residence surplus to a farming operation to comply with MDS I. All livestock facilities within the vicinity of the proposed severance, including any livestock facility situated on the farm parcel from which the surplus farm residence is being severed, shall be used in determining MDS I compliance.

While the new MDS Guidelines (2017) do not require a “surplus farmhouse” severance to comply with the MDS requirements for barns on adjacent properties - because the perceived odour conflict already exists - the County Official Plan has not been updated. Therefore, an MDS Report was prepared for these facilities.

Livestock and manure storage facilities exist on the farm parcel to the south west.

The proposed severed lot encroaches on the MDS I setback so a provision reducing the MDS I setback has been included in the zoning bylaw.

The existing barn on the subject property will remain with the severed parcel so no new MDS conflict is being created.

vi) The existing surplus dwelling/residence is habitable at the time of application.

The CBO confirmed that the residence is habitable.

As noted, the County Official Plan amendment is required to provide relief from two policies of the Plan:

1. To permit the original Crown lot to be severed into more than two parts; and 2. To permit the retained lot to be less than 40 ha.

These are reviewed below:

1. Number of lots that can be severed:

Section 6.5.3.3.1 restricts the number of severances permitted in an Agricultural designation to 2 parcels per Crown lot including the retained.

The subject lands are part of two historic crown lots. The majority of the lot (+/-20 ha) is the West part of Lot 12 Concession 3. +/- 4 ha were added from Lot 11. The east part of Lot 12 was divided into two parts, one of which was added to Lot 13, and the other part is a separate +/-10 ha lot. All told, Lots 11, 12, and 13 now exist as 5 separate lots.

A County Official Plan amendment is required to permit the surplus farm dwelling severance from part of lot 12 as the lot has been divided into multiple parts.

The purpose of the Agricultural Consent policies is to minimize the fragmentation of farm land and to allow farm operations to expand without being encumbered by surplus dwellings. The surplus farm dwelling is the final severance that could be granted; no further residential development may occur on the lot, and no agricultural land is lost as a result of the severance.

Therefore, the requested relief from the policy regarding the number of lots is supported.

2. The Minimum size of agricultural parcels.

Sections 5.6.6 and 6.5.3.3.2 require a minimum lot size of generally 40 ha.

In other applications, where there is a smaller retained farm parcel, such as severances of a surplus farm dwelling from a 20 ha lot, the applicant has been able to merge the lot with an adjacent lot to increase the size of the parcel. Staff reviewed this possibility with the applicant. While a number of neighbouring parcels are owned by Misch Farms Ltd, none are owned by Mr. Misch himself. He indicated he would prefer to purchase the lands independently of the family corporation, therefore, there are no adjacent lands available to be merged with.

In the absence of an opportunity to merge the parcels, staff note that the lot is already undersized at 24 ha and this severance does not result in any loss of agricultural land. As the current parcel is already undersized and the surplus farm severance does not remove any agricultural land from production, the application is able to be supported.

Therefore, the requested relief from the policy regarding minimum lot size is supported.

If the Official Plan amendment is approved, the application will conform to the County of Bruce Official Plan.

Matters Arising from Municipal of Arran-Elderslie Zoning By-law

Proposed zoning is as follows: A1-xx-2018a General Agriculture Special (Severed)

• The minimum lot frontage shall be 11 m. • The Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) I setback for the lot shall be 300 m from the

manure storage and livestock facilities located at CON 2 LOT 11 (Arran). • The number of livestock units is limited to no more than 1.24 nutrient units per

hectare (0.5 NU per ac)

A1-xx-2018b General Agriculture Special (Retained) • Residential uses shall be prohibited. • The minimum lot area shall be 23 ha (57.7 ac)

The application is consistent with the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie Zoning By-law.

Financial/Staffing/Legal/IT Considerations:

As with any planning decision, there is potential for appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.

Interdepartmental Consultation:

None.

Conclusion

The Planning and Development Department, subject to review of objections and submissions arising from the public hearing, makes the following recommendation:

That Bruce County Official Plan Amendment 234-18.49 for the properties described as West Part Lot 12, North Part Lot 11, Concession 3 (Arran) be approved and the necessary by-law be forwarded to Council for adoption.

Bruce County Official Plan Amendment 230-18.06 Formosa, Mildmay and Teeswater Boundary Changes

Recommendation:

Subject to review of objections and submissions arising from the public hearing:

That Bruce County Official Plan Amendment 230 be approved and the necessary By-Law be forwarded to Council for adoption.

Background:

The Municipality of South Bruce retained the Bruce County Planning and Development Department to do a Five Year Review of their Local Official Plan. Part of the Five Year Review involved a comprehensive review of growth projections and lands already designated in the Formosa, Mildmay and Teeswater urban centres. It was found that both the residential and industrial land supply in the municipality was sufficient to meet the forecasts. At the same time, it was also recognized that this review process provided an opportunity to make adjustments that would provide more logical boundaries.

The boundary changes are shown on Schedules 1, 2 and 3 in the Draft County Official Plan Amendment 230 attached as Appendix ‘A’.

The Five Year Review culminated in South Bruce Official Plan Amendment 14 which was adopted by South Bruce Council on March 27, 2018 and is recommended for approval by the County through separate report at the August Planning and Development Committee meeting. An amendment to the Bruce County Official Plan is needed to recognize the South Bruce Official Plan boundary changes so that the two plans are aligned.

Public Notice and Agency Circulation:

Notice of this Public Meeting was published in local newspapers on July 18th and 19th and circulated to prescribed agencies on July 16th. When the Decision to Adopt South Bruce Official Plan Amendment 14 was circulated in April, no comments or concerns were raised


with respect to the boundary changes. We also note that South Bruce undertook extensive public and agency consultation during the Five Year Review process.

Planning Act:

Staff are satisfied that OPA 230 meets requirements of the Planning Act, particularly: Section 2 dealing with the provincial interest in protection of agricultural resources and the appropriate location of growth and development; and prescribed processes in Section 17.

Provincial Policy Statement:

The applicable policy sections are listed in Appendix ‘B’. Staff are satisfied that OPA 230 is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement. More specifically, the proposed boundary changes are consistent with policy direction on efficient use of land and infrastructure and the protection of prime agricultural areas. Further, with this proposed amendment to the Bruce County Official Plan, the County and South Bruce Official Plans will have the same settlement boundaries.

Bruce County Official Plan:

Staff are satisfied that OPA 230 conforms with policy directions in the Bruce County Official Plan to achieve an orderly pattern of settlement and protect and conserve agricultural land. We note that the proposed settlement boundary changes will result in a modest increase in lands designated ‘Agricultural Area’.



Conclusion

That the Planning and Development Department, subject to review of objections and submissions arising from the public hearing, makes the following recommendation:

Amendment 230 to the Bruce County Official Plan meets the requirements of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms with the Bruce County Official Plan, represents good planning and is in the public interest.

SBOPA 14-17.06 Approval of Updated South Bruce Official Plan

Recommendation:

That the Township of South Bruce Official Plan Amendment 14 be approved as modified as shown in Appendix ‘A’ and the Director of Planning and Development or Manager of Land Use Planning be authorized to sign the Decision sheet.

Background:

The Bruce County Planning and Development Department was retained by the Municipality of South Bruce to do a Five Year Review of their Local Official Plan. South Bruce Council adopted the Updated Official Plan Amendment 14 (hereinafter referred to as the Updated South Bruce Plan) on March 27, 2018. The Updated South Bruce Plan was then forwarded to the County of Bruce for final approval.

An amendment to the Bruce County Official Plan (OPA 230) is required in order to recognize the settlement area boundary changes in the Updated South Bruce Plan so that the two plans align with one another.

The Updated Plan has the following main changes:

• Includes a Natural Heritage System;• Includes new environmental features mapping (particularly floodplains in Teeswater);• Acknowledges natural hazards including flooding hazards;• Permits second units;• Emphasizes urban areas as the focus of growth;• Refines the boundaries of Formosa, Mildmay and Teeswater; and• Addresses Drinking Water Source Protection.


In preparing the Updated South Bruce Plan for approval, we noted some minor mapping and text referencing errors and we are recommending that they be corrected through this Approval with Modifications attached in Appendix ‘A’.

A summary of the proposed modifications was forwarded to the Municipality of South Bruce. The changes were reviewed with staff and they advised that they have no concerns.

Public Input:

The Special Meeting of Council (which under the Planning Act is to be held at the beginning of the Five Year Review process to discuss the revisions that may be required) was held on June 27, 2017. There were three Open Houses during the process and the Public Meeting was held on March 27, 2018.

Agency Circulation:

Pursuant to the circulation of the Notice of Adoption of the Updated South Bruce Plan, the Saugeen, Grey-Sauble, Northern Bruce Peninsula Source Protection Region noted that some of the new policy sections they requested had not been included. Staff reviewed the matter and found that the policy sections were numbered out of sequence and that the comment should be addressed by correcting the section numbering.

Planning Act:

Staff are satisfied that changes needed as a result of updates to the Planning Act, particularly: Section 2 dealing with Provincial Interests; Section 16 dealing with authorizing second units; and Section 26 dealing with updating the Official Plan, are addressed.

Provincial Policy Statement:

Staff are satisfied that the Updated South Bruce Official Plan is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement. More specifically, the new and revised policies and map schedules dealing with natural heritage systems, affordable housing, second units and water resources provide appropriate local policy responses to provincial policy directions.


Bruce County Official Plan:

Staff are satisfied that the Updated South Bruce Plan conforms to the Bruce County Official Plan once the proposed County Official Plan Amendment No. 230 has been adopted to align the settlement boundaries. We also note that the settlement boundary changes will result in a modest increase in the area of lands designated ‘Agricultural Area’.

Committee Report To: Warden Paul Eagleson Members of the Planning and Development Committee From: Kara Van Myall

Director of Planning and Development Date: August 9th, 2018 Re: Bruce Brand Reserve Transfer

Recommendation:

That the Committee approve the transfer of $33,000 from the Bruce Brand Reserve into the Planning and Development budget to complete Bruce brand videos and stock photography.

Background:

In 2017 funds were budgeted for video and photography content in support of the Bruce brand implementation. The unspent monies were held over to reserve and staff would like to advance at this time the production of two Bruce branded videos for promotional purposes as well as the development of the supporting “Be an Explorer” stock photography. Currently, video production is underway for the Business to Bruce initiative (community business recruitment videos). There is an opportunity to leverage the personnel (both internal and external to the County) taking part in the new community videos to support the creation of Bruce brand videos, minimizing overall expenditure and completion timeline. The result will be two video products:

1. Bruce County the Organization – The Guides who serve the Community. Increasing awareness about what we do and the services we provide. Highlighting that we are open for business and ready to help. Framed in the “Be an Explorer” language and narrative.

a. Audience: new staff (orientation); recruitment; and the residents of Bruce County

2. Bruce County the Place – Be an Explorer. Bringing Bruce to life by raising awareness

of the Bruce brand story, highlighting our landscapes, industries and communities. If Bruce were a person, you’d want to hang out

a. Audience: new business / resident attraction; focused on residents re-affirming the qualities & values of the Bruce way of life


These videos will be used internally (for the new employee orientation program) as well as externally (for new business, resident and employee attraction, as well as for information for existing residents).


The Reserve Fund has approximately $33,000 and staff are requesting to transfer this funding out of reserves to move this project forward (including budget for video and photography). At this time no additional funding is being sought and this will close out the work and funding that was allocated to the Bruce Brand implementation.
