M`Kellar that we recommend to Council that the application to redesignate Plan 8510238, Block 1(within Pt. SW 10-17-13-W4) from A -Agricultural District to CR -Country Residential District be denied for the following reasons: 1. The proposed land is located in a primary agricultural area of Tilley where no residential districts have been approved for the adjacent lands. 2. The Country Residential District can allow three or more residential developments. The approval of this amendment has the potential to create negative impacts on the adjacent agricultural land and thus does not conform to the goal of the MDP of "protecting agriculture and agricultural activities". 3. The approval of this amendment is an example of "Spot Zoning" which is disruptive to the pattern of land use, undermines the orderly use of land and is not encouraged by the County of Newell. 4. Currently, the residence is sharing the same road approach with the company. The approval of this amendment and the sale of the parcel will unnecessarily create a new approach to the public road.
