Martin (Saugeenside Enterprises) OPA

The County received an application for an official plan amendment (County file number 42-05-010-OPA-21), known as Saugeenside Enterprises. The applicant is proposing to re-designate a portion of the south-west corner of the property, which currently contains a metal fabrication shop. The proposal includes two applications under the Planning Act; including an amendment to Grey County's Official Plan and the Municipality's Zoning By-law.

The proposed County Official Plan Amendment seeks to re-designate approximately 5,980 square metres of land from 'Rural', 'Site Specific Rural', and 'Hazards Lands' to 'Space Extensive Industrial and Commercial'. The concurrent Zoning By-law will be processed by the Municipality of West Grey. The proposed amendments would permit an outdoor storage area of 2,283 square metres for the existing metal fabrication shop, which is to remain unchanged. The remaining portions of the subject lands would remain as agricultural uses. The Site Specific Rural designation, approved through OPA 138, would be removed and replaced by the proposed amendment.
