Be advised that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Howick considered both of these applications to be complete on November 25, 2016. Any person may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed official plan amendment or zoning by-law amendment.

Gorrie, ON N0G 1X0 (519) 335-3208 Purpose and Effect: The lands subject to both the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law amendment are described as Concession C, Part Lots 21-24. The subject property is 42.2 hectares. Currently, the portion of the property to be licensed for a sand and gravel pit and the subject of this official plan amendment and rezoning application is used for agricultural cropping and contains no buildings. The site is to be progressively rehabilitated as outlined in the pending Class “A” Pit License from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry. In the Howick Official Plan the vast majority of the subject property is currently designated Extractive Resources, while the balance is designated Natural Environment and Agriculture. The purpose of the official plan amendment is to change the designation of the Agriculture area to Extractive Resources. The resulting area designated Extractive Resources in the Official Plan will be approximately 39 hectares. The zoning on the majority of the subject property is AG1 (General Agriculture) except for some NE2 (Natural Environment – Limited Protection) zoned areas at the north end (a woodlot) and at the south end along the river along with a portion abutting a neighbouring woodlot to the west. The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment is to change the zoning on the portion of the property to be licensed for extraction to ER1 (Extractive Resource Zone) which permits sand and gravel extraction.
