CLI SOIL

RATING:

Class 2c soils. Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that restrict the range of crops or require

moderate conservation practices. Subclass C denotes an adverse climate;

FIRE: Outside all rural fire protection areas.

COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS

APPLICANT: The applicants own the whole quarter section and farm 150 acres of the land owned. Also operates a

commercial business of agricultural retail on a 4 ha (10 acre) parcel. The applicants wish to rezone

the remainder 2 ha ( 5 acre) parcel to coincide with the other 2 ha (5 acre) parcel already zoned

Agriculture-Industrial

ALR: The subject property is situated within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Therefore, Agricultural Land

Commission approval is required. The applicant has applied for ALR subdivision, which was

approved by the Regional Board to proceed to the ALC on February 14th, 2013.

OCP: Pursuant to the PRRD Rural Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1940, 2011, the subject property is

g “Agriculture – ” A 2 or

complementary to the agriculture industry, such as a grain elevator, fertilizer distribution facility, or a

feed and supply store, are permitted, though a rezoning is required. A farm business rationale is

presented which involves a benefit for agriculture. This proposal does not divide a field or otherwise

interfere with an agricultural operation; it is consistent with the Official Community Plan.

ZONING: The subject property is zoned M-3 (Agricultural Industrial Zone) and A-2(Large Agricultural

holdings) pursuant to Dawson Creek Rural Area Zoning Bylaw No. 479, 1986, which has a

minimum parcel size of 1.8 ha (4.5 acres), and 63 ha (155 acres). A rezoning is needed to change the

additional 2 ha (5 acres) into M-3 zoning.

A previous zoning of 2 ha (5 acre) from A-2(Large Agricultural Holdings) to M-3 (Agricultural

Industrial Zone), which is directly South of this proposed application was adopted on April 15th

1993. This application went through public notification and public hearing. Since then the present

use has expanded above the 2ha (5 ac) zoning thus the reason for this rezoning amendment. There

have been no concerns or complaints brought to the Regional District regarding this matter.

IMPACT ANALYSIS

AGRICULTURE: The proposal will continue to have a positive effect as a retail and distribution facility for the

agricultural sector.

CONTEXT: This industry supports the community of Rolla as well as the surrounding community as a whole.

POPULATION: The populations will correlate with daily facility operations.

TRAFFIC: Traffic will be consistent with the type of business located here.
