Discussion
Planning Policy
The subject lands are designated Industrial Area on Schedule B – Urban Area Land
Use Plan of the Town’s Official Plan. The Industrial Area is an employment designation
which applies to areas where a full range of light and general industrial uses will be
permitted.
Additionally, the lands are located within the Milton 401 Industrial/Business Park
Secondary Plan and are further designated Employment Area as shown on Schedule
C.2.B – Milton 401 Industrial/Business Park Secondary Plan – Land Use Plan. The
Employment Area designation permits auto sales and service uses.
While a full review of the applicable planning policies will be undertaken as part of the

review of the application, based on the information provided, staff is satisfied that an
Official Plan Amendment is not required.
Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended:
The subject lands are currently zoned Employment (EMP-2). The EMP-2 zone permits a
variety of uses as described under Table 8A of the Zoning By-law but does not permit a
motor vehicle dealership nor a motor vehicle rental agency as an accessory use to a
motor vehicle dealership. The application seeks to rezone the subject lands to a site
specific Employment (EMP-2*XXX) zone to accommodate the proposed uses in
addition to the uses permitted in the EMP-2 zone. The site specific zoning also
proposes a reduction in the interior side yard setback with the intent of facilitating an
integrated development with the existing motor vehicle dealerships to the south.
Site Plan Control:
Should the application be approved, the applicant will require site plan approval prior to
the commencement of any development.
Public Consultation and Review Process:
Notice for the public meeting was provided pursuant to the requirements of the Planning
Act on June 7, 2016.
Staff has identified the following issues to be reviewed:
x Urban/Site Design and Landscaping
x Traffic/Access
A technical report with recommendations will be brought forward for Council
consideration upon completion of the evaluation of the application.
Financial Impact
None arising from this report.
