PART 1 -THE PREAMBLE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This part of the Amendment entitled Part 1-The Preamble, introduces the Amendment and
describes the context and planning process leading to the document's preparation. It is for
explanatory purposes only and does not form part of the Amendment.
2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this amendment is to change the land use designation on the subject lands shown
on Schedule "A", "B" and "H" attached hereto and forming part of this amendment from
"Industrial" to "Commercial Special" and to establish site specific policies to permit the use of
the existing building on the lands for business and professional offices, limited retail uses, and
limited light industrial and warehousing uses.
3.0 LOCATION
The subject lands affected by this amendment are loc.ated in Part of Lot 81, Concession 1 EYS,
better described as Lot 1 Registered Plan 107, Lot 109 Registered Plan 246 and Parts 1, 4 & 5,
Reference Plan 65R-18213, and are made up of two parcels, one fronting on the north side of
Centre Street, the other fronting on the north side of Wellington Street East.
4.0 BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
Council has enacted this amendment in response to the following:
4.1 An application has been made by 919179 Ontario Ltd. to use the exiting building located
on the Wellington Street East component of the subject lands for business and professional
offices, limited retail uses, and limited light industrial and warehousing uses.
4.2 The subject lands are designated "Industrial" on Schedule "A"-Land Use Plan. An existing
three storey industrial building currently occupies the southern parcel of land facing
Wellington Street East. Past industrial uses of the existing structure include a feed mill
serviced by a rail spur, once known as the Baldwin Mills. The subject lands and building
are currently vacant. The present Industrial designation precludes some of the uses being
proposed.
Part 1 ~ The Preamble Pa e3
4.3 The subject lands are in close proximity to the historic residential and commercial core of
the community. As industrially designated lands in accordance with the Official Plan and
implementing Zoning By-law, the property appears to be under utilized and less attractive
to industrial development given current industrial locational criteria, site limitations
imposed by property access and size, and the encroachment of residential uses that tend to
constrain and inhibit full industrial usage.
4.4 Rehabilitation of the existing structure and landscaping improvements through the site plan
process will add to the enhancement of Wellington Street and strengthen the connections
and cohesion between the central core area and development to the west of the Canadian
National Railway tracks.
4.5 Access to the lands will be via Centre and Wellington Streets. The subject lands can be
serviced by all utilities and the transit system with a storm water management system will
be put in place as part of the site plan.
