Discussion
The lands are designated “Northville Policy Area” in the Lambton Shores Official Plan.
Permitted uses in this designation include a range of housing accommodations, local
and tourist oriented commercial development including seasonal recreational
campgrounds, institutional and open space uses. Policies in the plan also indicate that
commercial development shall be directed towards the existing commercial nodes at the
intersection of Highway 21 and the north entrance of Northville Crescent and in the area
adjacent to Highway 21 between Port Franks and the south entrance of Northville
Crescent and shall be subject to the commercial polices of the plan. Uses permitted by
the commercial policies are those commercial uses intended to serve the day to day
needs of the residents of the community, and tourists visiting or traveling though the
municipality.
Two of the objectives noted in Section 13.2 of the Lambton Shores Official Plan for the
Northville Policy Area are as follows:
To provide a range of commercial services to service the needs of the
adjacent area and tourists;
To ensure that development occurs in a manner which will enhance the
aesthetics of the area and be compatible with the pattern of existing
development.
The Northville Policy Area policies in the Official Plan also indicate that direct access to
Highway 21 will be discouraged. New development should be required to be accessed
through service roads or Northville Crescent. The plan encourages the use of shared
driveways, particularly for commercial development. Further, safe and adequate access
shall be provided and access points to roads will be limited and designed to minimize
any danger to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Shared properly designed access shall
be provided, wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking and loading spaces shall
be located behind or beside the commercial establishment, where possible and the site
shall be sufficiently landscaped.
The lands are currently zoned Commercial 4 (C4) in the Lambton Shores Zoning By-law
1 of 2003. Uses permitted in this zone include motor vehicle repair establishment, motor
vehicle service establishment, bonded warehouse, farmers market, gasoline retail
facility with accessory convenience store, drive in restaurant, truck stop and building
