7Based on the evidence, the Committee is satisfied that the requested condition change is reasonable and necessary.
8THE COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT ORDERS that the request is granted and condition number 11 to the decision of the Committee dated November 24, 2023, is deleted and replaced as follows:
- That the Owner(s) obtain a Zoning By-law Amendment, satisfactory to the Development Review Manager of the Relevant Branch within Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department, or their designate, to be confirmed in writing from the Department to the Committee, to rezone the approximately 37 acre (150,000 square metres) northwest portion of the retained lands to Rural General Industrial with a Rural Exception to permit a storage Yard.
9The Committee also finds that this change to the conditions is not minor and is therefore giving notice of the change pursuant to subsection 53(24) of the Planning Act.
