DP-2012-055 - Town of Caledon

Schedule “B” to Development Approval & Planning Policy Report DP-2012-055
Page 4 of 5
It is our opinion that the subject lands should be zoned to conform to the provisions of
the EPA designation, such as EPA2. While more detailed floodplain mapping has
become available to allow for refinements to the Hazard Land zone, it is our opinion
the floodplain update does not provide supporting rationale to preclude the remainder
of the site from its existing EPA designation. Recognizing the intent of this application
is to match with the EPA2 zoning standards in By-law 2006-50 to permit a house, it is
staff’s opinion that the proposed zoning meets the intent of the EPA designation.
We understand that the applicant wishes to add an addition to the existing residential
dwelling at some point in the future. Based on our review, the EPA2 zone allows for
the continuation of existing residential land uses, and does not restrict additions to the
existing residential dwelling.
Permitting
The entire property is located within a regulated area of the Humber River Watershed.
Given that no development is currently proposed through this application pursuant to
Ontario Regulation 166/06, a TRCA permit is not required at this time. Please be
advised, however, that TRCA staff has an interest in reviewing any future
development proposal and/or planning applications affecting the subject lands. All
future development on the subject property must be in keeping with TRCA’s
Regulation and VSCMP policies.
Recommendation
On this basis, TRCA staff has no objection to the above noted application as currently
submitted.
Fees
By copy of this letter, please be advised that the TRCA has implemented a fee
schedule for our planning and development review services. This application is
subject to a $1,090.00 Zoning By-law Amendment application review fee.
