A Property Location Map and the Applicont's Submitted Plan aze included as Altachments tll and #2 respectively, to this Report. City Stuff recommended that the associnted land sevcrance application, LD 261/99, be tabled to allow the application to be more appropriately assessed through thc zoning by-law amendment application process. The applicnnt concurred with the City's recommondation at the September 20, 1999 Land Division Mecting, and the appiication �vas subsequently tabled for one year by the Land Division Committee. 4.0 Discussion 4.1 Appropriateness of the Cemetcry Expansion The proposed conveyed lands would provide an approprinte expansiun arca for the existing cemetery. The Durham Region Of(icial Plan recognizcs cemeteries as necessary and essential community facilities. Thc Plnn further recognizes cxisting cemetcrics as pertnitted uses, and permits the cxpansion ofsuch cemcteries to the licensc issued under thc Cemetcries Act, provided that thcy confortn to thc arca municipal official plan and zoning by-law. The Pickering Oflicial Plan pertnits existing and approvcd ccmcteries in any land use designation to continuc to operatc and cxpand, subject to sitc-spccific zoning and pppropriate public hcalth considcrations. Cemcteries are ncccssary nnd essential community facilitics that should be accommodated in appropriatc locations in thc City. Thc proposcd convcycd lands are surplus lands that could support thc futurc ccmctcry cxpansion, whilc not ncgatively impacting on surtounding propertics or the subject propertics. The proposed cemetcry usc is considered to be compatible with character of thc sutrounding rural area. it is recommended that both the existing cemctery lands and the lands proposed to be conveyed for cemetery expansion be appropriately zoned to nllow for u cemetery und related uses (including an oflice, chapel and/or maintenance building) in addition to the uses currcntly pertnitted within the "A" — Rural Agricultural Zone applicablc to these lands. It is furiher recommended that largcr, related cemetery buildings, such as crematoriums, mausoleums, and columbariums not be pertnitted on these lands (sec Appcndix I). 4.2 Application of "(H)" — Holding Provision The proposed conveyed lands, intended to support the future expansion of the ccmetery, sue not intended to be utilized for intemment for several years. Appropriate environmental nnd public health considerations must be addressed before the lends are used for such purposes. This detniled revicw would most nppropriutely be underinken when n specific expansion concept is availuble. Consequently, it is recommended thnt un "(H)" — Holding Symbol be applied to the zoning of the proposed convcycd lands that must bc removcd prior to thc establishment of cemetery uses on the conveyed lands (see Appendix n. The removal of the "(H)" — Holding Symbol would be coriditionnl upon the o�mcr receiving site plan approval from the City for the proposcd cxpnnsion, nnd thc registmtion on title of an appropriate ugreement with thc City rcquiring, among othcr things: a) n sutisfactory hydrogcological rcport identifying information such ns depth of groundwatcr, soil composition, wnter quality and quantily, and recommcnded burial deptha end mcthods; ' REPOR'F NUMBER 31-00 Datc: June 16, Z000 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/00 Page 4 0�� b) complinnce with nll provincioi guidelines applicnble to cemetery developmcnls, including the MOEE Guidelines on Reviewing Cemetery Sites; and, c) the implementntion of approved plans addressing such mattcrs as appropriate burial arcas, recommended perimeter fencing, grading and stormwater mnnagement, tree preservution and landscaping, and other site plun mattcrs. d) proteclion of the City's long-term interests respecting operating by-laws and financial urrangements mada by the owners of the cemctery to thc satisfaction of the City; The Cemeteries Act includes provisions related to the operation nnd administration ot cemeteries including rcquirements for operating by-laws, trust funds and carc and maintenunce funds. In addition, the Act specifies thut should a cemetery bc declared nbandoned, the municipality within which the cemetery is located becomes thc awner of the cemetery with the rights nnd obligntions of the previous owner. The required agreement between the owners of the cemetery and the City would conlain appropriate clauses satisfying the City that the required operating by-law and financial arrangements made by the owners of the cemctery adequately protects the long-term intcrests of thc Municipality. Applying the recommendcd "(H)" — Holding Symbol will ensurc that sitc plan npproval for both thc existing and expanded ccmetery is obtained, and that an appropriate agrcement bctwcen thc owncrs of the cemetery and lhc Ciry is cntcred inlo to ensure that appropriate cnvironmcntal nnd public hcalth considcrations related to the futurc cemetcry expansion occur, and that the long-Ierm intcrals oCthc City are pro►ected. 4.3 Additional Zoning Considcrations The proposcd land sevcrance would have thc effcct of reducing the area of the proposed retaincd lands owned by thc AI-Joundis bclow thc required minimum 4.0 hectarc lot area rcquircd in the zoning by-law. The resultant retained lands would provide n minimum lot area of approximately 3.7 hectares. 7'I�is rcduction in lot area is minor, and will continue to accommodate those agricultural uscs currently permilted in the npplicable agricultural zone designation. it is the understanding of Sta(i that the applicant wishes to raise a small number of livcstock on thc resultant retaincd lot. This activity is nppropriatc, and would be permitted under the currcnt ngriculturel zone designation. It is recommended that the implcmenting zoning by-law recognize the reduced minimum 3.7 hectaze lot area provided by the resultant retuined lands owned by the Al-Joundis, and continue to allow those uses and activities permitted within the "A" — Rural Agricultural Zone designation applicable to the subject lands, save and except any portion of those lands supporting the stream cortidor of Du�ns Creek. 4.4 Environmental Considerations The Pickering Official Plan identifies the subject lands as bcing locatcd within the Oak Ridges Moraine. Accordingly, Council shall ensure thul uny uctivities within or adjucent to the Moraine ere consistent with the principlas of the 0�k Ridges Moraine Implcmentation Guidelincs prepared by the Ministry of Natural Rcsourccs. Thc Implementation Guidelincs providc guidnnce on evnlunting spccific types of devclopmcnt applications proposed within the Moraina. Individual consent applications nnd minor changes to regulatory provisions of a zoning cntegory are gencrelly cxempt from tlic requirements of the Implcmcntation Guidclincs. The subject applicution would fi1 thcsc crilcria. Thc Guidelines do, howcvcr, suggest thnt when revicwing nny dcvclopmcnt within thc Moraine, thet significant natural fentures be protcctcd through the npplicable zoning by- law, The Rcgion of Durham has confirtned lhat no provincial inlcrests oppear to bc O� g' REPOR'F NUMBER 31-00 Date: June 16, 2000 Subject: Zoning By-lew Amendment Application A 9/00 pagc 5 affected by this application, other than exploring the implications of the application on the stream corridor of Duffins Creek traversing the subject lands with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Comments received from T.R.C.A. confirm thc significancc of thc atreem corridor, and the desire to eppropriately protect it. The Pickcring Official Plan further identifies this stream corridor in a"5horeiine and Strcam Corridor" designation, requiring Council to prohibit any mnjor redevelopment on those lands. It is therefore recommended thnt the existing stream corridor traversing the subject lands bc appropriately zoned in an "OS-HL" — Open Space — Hazard Land zone category restricting any development within that zone. The extent of the stream corridor will be reviewed by the City, in consultation with TRCA, prior to the fonvazding nn implementing zoning by law for Council's consideration (see Appendix n. 5.0 Applicant's Comments This applicant is aware of, and concurs with, the recommendations outlined in this report.
