2509 Cedar Creek Road (OP-01/24 & ZC-02/24) |
| The subject property is located on the south side of Cedar Creek Road, east of Earl Thompson Road and west of the Credit Valley Railway. The property is approximately 18 hectares in size and is rectangular in shape, with an approximate frontage of 220 metres along Cedar Creek Road.
The property is currently developed with an existing farmhouse and an ancillary farm building in the northwestern portion of the site. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject property through a Vacant Land Condominium application to create seven (7) industrial lots and one (1) stormwater management block. The applicant intends to use one single lot for a Transport Enterprise and/or Transportation Operation, with the remaining six lots to be used for other industrial related uses. Each proposed lot is approximately two hectares in size. One common element road (proposed Street ‘A’) will provide access from Cedar Creek Road to the proposed lots with the proposed street ending in a bulb. In order to facilitate the proposed subdivision of the land, the applicant is required to amend both the Township Official Plan and the Township’s General Zoning By-law No. 689-83. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is being requested to amend Special Policy Area 2.9.3.2.3 (d) applicable to the subject property, which requires that the regulations of General Zoning By-law No. 689-83 prohibit any future severances of the property, which would reduce the size of the parcel. An amendment to the Special Policy is requested, which seeks to permit the subdivision of the parcel for the purpose of creating seven (7) industrial lots and a one (1) stormwater management block. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment application seeks to amend the current site-specific exemption (20.1.200) to permit a reduced minimum lot area and lot frontage. Presently, the site-specific exemption requires that a minimum lot area of 18 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 220 metres be complied with. The applicant is seeking to establish minimum lot areas of 1.9 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 89 metres. Additionally, the applicant is seeking to rezone the existing areas of the property that are zoned Z.12 – Open Space to the Z.11 – Industrial zone classification.

Edworthy West Pit - Zoning By-Law Amendment Application (ZC-01/23) |
|
The subject lands comprise three separately held parcels – 1262 Greenfield Road, unaddressed Parcel legally known as CON 9 PT LOT 17 and 1354 Spragues Road – with the area for the aggregate operations being sited on the northern portion of 1262 Greenfield Road, the entirety of the unaddressed parcel and the eastern portion of 1354 Spragues Road. Cambridge Aggregates Inc. has entered into lease and extraction agreements with these individual property owners. The rezoning would apply to the operations site only, with the balance of the lands at 1262 Greenfield and 1354 Spragues Roads outside the operational boundaries remaining in the ‘Agricultural (Z.1) Zone’. The operations site is approximately 44.3 ha (109.47 ac) in size and the extraction area is proposed to be approximately 35.2 ha (86.98 ac).
Location
The subject lands are located within the lower portion of the apex of Alps, Shouldice Side and Spragues Roads, approximately 1.5km south of the existing Cambridge Aggregates Main Pit. The upper north-west portion of the lands are located within 2 km (less than 1 mile) of the City of Cambridge.
Both 1262 Greenfield and 1354 Spragues Roads are each developed with a single detached dwelling and accessory buildings and are currently being farmed. Both dwellings are situated outside the operations site and will be retained on the properties during and after the extraction operation. 1262 Greenfield Road is included on the Townships listed heritage properties and is not designated. The unaddressed Parcel is a vacant farm parcel.
Access and Operations
Two new truck entrances along Spragues Road are proposed, one southern entrance located at the new Edworthy West Pit and a northern entrance at the southern portion of the Main Pit (between Alps and Spragues Roads). Region of Waterloo entrance permits will be required for these new truck entrances.
The Edworthy West Pit is proposed as Class ‘A’ Licence operation and will serve as an extension to the existing Cambridge Aggregate Main Pit located at the northwest corner of Alps and Spragues Roads.
It will operate as a “load and haul pit’, which means that there will be no processing of materials on site, but that the aggregate materials extracted from the pit will be transferred via tri-axle highway trucks to the Cambridge Aggregate Main Pit. Material will then be processed, stockpiled, blended and shipped from the Main Pit via the existing haul route along Cedar Creek Road.
No increase in annual production levels is proposed at the central processing plant in the Main Pit as the Edworthy West Pit will serve as the next phase of extraction at the Main Pit. In addition, there will be no increase in production and truck traffic between the existing Main Pit and the proposed Edworthy West Pit.
The proposed annual tonnage limit is 1,000,000 tonnes with a total estimate resource volume of 11,000,000 million tonnes. The life span of the pit is expected to be 10-12 years.
Implementation. The ARA Licence Application is being pursued concurrently with the Zoning By-Law Amendment Application.
Rehabilitation
Once resources are extracted, rehabilitation will be undertaken leaving the final land use predominately agricultural condition, with approximately two (2) hectares of ecological enhancements (ecological linkages and buffers) proposed in ecologically strategic areas of the site. Post extraction Phase 3 activities, an additional 2-3 years will be required to complete final rehabilitation.
The total extent of the extraction area that will be returned to an agricultural condition will be 23.4 ha (57.82 ac).

The Applicant has submitted the following technical Reports in support of the proposed development: |
Westwood Village Phase 2 - Official Plan Amendment, Plan of Subdivisions & Zoning By-law Amendment |
|
The lands subject to the Official Plan Amendment, Subdivision, and Zoning By-law Amendment are located immediately adjacent to the Cambridge/North Dumfries Municipal Boundary situated to the north of the Blenheim Road/Roseville Road corridor, east of Cruickston Creek. The Lands are Situated in Part of Lots 13 & 14, Concession 11, and Part of the Road Allowance between Concessions 11 & 12, Township of North Dumfries.
The Official Plan Amendment Application (File No. OPA -01/21) recognizes that the subject land have been designated “Urban Area” in the Township’s Official Plan. The proposed Amendment addresses the requirements of Policy 2.1.4 (c) of the Plan, which among other matters, proposes a hierarchy of residential and other land use designations, urban design, policies, open spaces and environmental and servicing as well as transportation policies.
The general purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is provide a land use planning framework to guide the detailed planning and development of the Westwood Village Phase 2 community that ensures the integration with the approved Phase 1 neighbourhood situated within the City of Cambridge located to the east, while respecting and protecting the Core Environmental Features associated with the adjacent Blair-Bechtel – Cruickston Environmental Sensitive Lands located to the north, west and south of the subject lands. The proposed Amendment considers the environmental framework of the Cambridge West Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) and the planning that has previously occurred for the Westwood Village Phase 1development area.
The two Plans of Subdivision Applications (File Nos. 30T-21301 & 30T-213020) are designed to establish the proposed lot and road fabric of the two development properties. The development will occur on the basis of full municipal services. Subdivision File No. 30T-21301 (Brian Domm) contemplates the creation of various lots/blocks that would establish a total of between 119 to 152 dwelling units, which would include:
Subdivision File No. 30T-21302 (Hallman Construction Ltd.) contemplates the creation of various lots/blocks that would establish a total of between 311 to 504 dwelling units, which would include:

The internal road network connects with Newman Drive, the mid-block neighbourhood north/south collector located within the Westwood Phase 1 area with the City of Cambridge. Zoning By-law Amendment Application (File No. ZC-03/21) is proposed to implement the two Plan of subdivision proposals. The Zoning By-law Amendment will establish a hierarchy of residential zone classifications to recognize the various dwelling unit type, the open space corridors, and parkland blocks. The residential zone classifications will establish dwelling unit type, minimum lot frontage and land area requirements, building setback, building height, and similar regulatory requirements.
