4.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LAND USE DESIGNATION

4.5.1 Rationale/Strategy for Development

4.5.1.1

The Environmental Protection (EP) designation comprises natural features and areas within the County that shall be protected for future generations including provincially, regionally and locally significant wetlands, coastal wetlands and associated rivers and streams.

4.5.1.2

The Environmental Protection (EP) designation may also include natural hazard lands that may pose a threat to life and property because of inherent physiographic characteristics such as floodways, erosion hazards, poor drainage/seasonal inundation, organic soil, unstable slopes, unstable bedrock karst formations or other similar physical limitations.

4.5.1.3 Lands designated on Schedule OP-A as follows shall be placed in a corresponding zone in Member Municipality comprehensive zoning by-laws implementing this Plan:

‘EP’ = Locally and regionally significant wetlands, coastal wetlands, floodplains, water bodies, water courses, escarpments and other natural hazard lands as per Section 4.5.1.2

‘EP-W’ = Provincially Significant Wetlands & Provincially Significant Coastal Wetlands

The boundaries of the various Environmental Protection areas are approximate and the intent of this Plan is that precise locations will be delineated in the implementing Zoning By-laws or at the time of the submission of development applications, through the preparation of studies and consultation to the satisfaction of the local Conservation Authority, the MNRF and/or the MOECC and the affected landowners. In the absence of more detailed mapping, the boundaries of the various Environmental Protection designations will be used as a guide in the preparation of the implementing comprehensive zoning by-laws. Modifications of evaluated wetland boundaries must be completed by qualified individuals trained in the Ontario Wetland Evaluation system (OWES) and submitted to the MNRF for review and approval.

4.5.1.4 If land which is designated ‘EP’ or ‘EP-W’ is determined by the appropriate authority to be located outside of environmental protection lands, the development of such land will be reviewed on the basis of the predominant adjoining land use designation and the general intent, goals and objectives of this Plan. An amendment to Schedule OP-A of this Plan shall not be required to make minor modifications to the designation provided that the overall intent of the Plan is maintained.

4.5.1.5 New ‘EP’ or ‘EP-W’ areas shall be added to Schedule OP-A at the time of completing the 5 (or 10) year review of this Plan.

Hastings County Official Plan – December 2017 Prepared by the Hastings County Planning Department 97

4.5.2.5 Buildings, structures or works associated with flood or erosion control, watercourse protection or bank stabilization may be permitted with the written approval of the appropriate authority.

4.5.2.6 Development and site alteration shall not be permitted within or adjacent to lands designated Environmental Protection as required within this Plan. Exceptions may be considered in accordance with the policies of this Plan provided that the ecological function of the natural feature, where it constitutes a natural heritage feauture, has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural feature or on its associated ecological functions.

4.5.2.7 Nothing in this section is intended to limit the ability of existing agricultural uses to continue.

4.5.3 Flooding Hazards

4.5.3.1 Flood plains of rivers, streams and small inland lake systems means the area, usually low lands adjoining a watercourse, which has been or may be subject to flooding hazards. The limit of the flooding hazard is generally based on the greater of the flood that would result from the rainfall actually experienced during a major storm such as the Hurricane Hazel storm (1954) or the Timmins storm (1961), the one hundred year flood, and an observed event. Along the shorelines of the Great LakesSt. Lawrence River System and large inland lakes, the limit of the flooding hazard is based on the one hundred year flood level plus an allowance for wave uprush and other water-related hazards.

4.5.3.2 The objectives of this Plan with regard to flood plain management are as follows:

a) Minimize the potential for loss of life and property damage;

b) Reduce the necessity for public and private expenditures for emergency operations, evacuation and restoration of properties and building subject to flooding;

c) Discourage development and site alteration which could affect natural ecosystems, channel capacity and flood flow;

d) Protect and maintain natural channel systems and enhance their biodiversity; and,

e) Minimize water pollution and/or degradation of water quality associated with development activities adjacent to water bodies and floodplains.

4.5.3.3 The following developments shall not be permitted:

a) The application proposes new development within the regulatory floodplain, unless the development by necessity must be located within the regulatory floodplain;

4.5.1.6 Not all streams, waterbodies, environmental features or natural hazard lands have been shown on the Land Use Schedules. The policies of this Plan shall also apply to those streams, waterbodies, environmental features or natural hazard lands not shown on the Land Use Schedules and will be zoned as Environmental Protection in the Member Municipalities’ comprehensive zoning by-laws to the greatest extent possible.

4.5.1.7 The channelization and/or rerouting of a watercourse shall not be permitted unless it will result in an improvement of the natural functions of the watercourse and meet all other legislative requirements including the Federal Fisheries Act and the regulations and requirements of the MNRF or the applicable conservation authority.

4.5.1.8 The County and its Member Municipalities support the efforts of the Hastings County Land Trust in working with private landowners to ensure preservation of environmentally important or significant natural lands and areas.

4.5.1.9 The voluntary use of conservation easements by landowners to protect environmentally significant areas in perpetuity is encouraged by this Plan.

4.5.2 Permitted Uses

4.5.2.1 The uses permitted on lands designated ‘EP’ or ‘EP-W’ are limited to existing agricultural uses, managed forestry, conservation uses which improve the ecological functions of the natural features, wildlife management, uses of a scientific or educational nature and appropriate passive recreational uses that will not have a negative impact on the natural features Active outdoor recreational uses such as golf courses, golf driving ranges and paint ball activities shall be prohibited.

4.5.2.2 Notwithstanding Part A – Section 4.5.2.1 above, other uses of land may be permitted in accordance with other detailed policies of this Plan.

4.5.2.3 The erection of new buildings or structures or the removal or placing of fill in areas designated “Environmental Protection” shall not be permitted without the prior approval of the appropriate authority, except as permitted in Part A - Section 4.5.2.5 below.

4.5.2.4 For the purpose of this designation, development or site alterations are defined as the creation of a new lot, a change in land use, or the construction of buildings and structures requiring approval under the Planning Act and activities such as fill, grading and excavation that would change the landform and natural vegetative characteristics of the site.

b) The application proposes to create a new lot that has insufficient space to accommodate a suitable/appropriate development envelope outside of the regulatory floodplain;

c) The application proposes a change in land use that would increase the risk to life by increasing the use and/or occupancy levels within a regulatory floodplain;

d) The proposed development is unable to meet safe access standards, regardless of whether the lands subject to the planning application are located outside of the regulatory floodplain; or

e) The subject lands are within the regulatory floodplain and the proposal is for an institutional use, essential emergency service or proposes the storage of hazardous substances.

4.5.3.4 The following developments shall be permitted:

a) The application is within the flood fringe of an approved two-zone area or Special Policy Area identified within this Plan and can be flood-proofed in accordance with the local conservation authority or MNRF flood proofing standards;

b) The development replaces an existing structure within the regulatory floodplain on an existing lot of record and all of the following conditions can be met:

i. New hazards will not be created and existing hazards are not aggravated; and,

ii. There are no reasonable alternatives for locating the development entirely outside of the regulatory floodplain, other setback requirements have been minimized, the surface area occupied by the development has been consolidated, the placement of fill, if any will be minimized and any loss of floodplain storage compensated for.

iii. The development can be flood-proofed in accordance with the local conservation authority or MNRF; and

iv. No expansion of the structure shall occur, with the possible exception of a minor addition subject to approval by the applicable local conservation authority.

4.5.3.5 Flood plain and flood line mapping have been completed for portions of the County (see Schedules USP –A.1 – A.6 of Part B – The Urban Communities Secondary Plan). Where Engineered Flood Plain and Flood Line mapping is approved by the local conservation authority and the necessary regulations have been adopted by the appropriate authority(ies), the following requirements shall apply:

a) Flood plain and flood line mapping may be used to prepare local zoning bylaws. All lands within the engineered flood plain are deemed to be designated “Environmental Protection” and shall be appropriately zoned in local by-laws.

b) Where a major alteration is necessary to overcome the hazards within engineered flood lines, an amendment to this Plan shall be required.

c) An amendment to this Plan shall not be required for minor filling within the floodplain, provided the appropriate authority(ies) approve(s) of such alteration.

d) In the absence of detailed flood line mapping, the boundaries of the lands designated as “Environmental Protection” on the Land Use Schedules shall be used as guides for the preparation of the zoning by-law provisions which shall implement the policies of this section. An amendment to this Plan shall not be required for changes to the “Environmental Protection” boundaries deemed to be suitable by a member municipal Council after consultation with the appropriate authority. Where such changes are made, the appropriate abutting land use designation shall apply and the zoning by-law shall be amended accordingly.

e) New development and site alteration, including sewage systems, open or enclosed patios or decks attached to a main dwelling and swimming pools shall be setback a minimum of 30 metres from the high water mark intermittent watercourse or outside the regulatory flood elevation of lakes, rivers, streams or creeks, whichever is greater. Development shall generally be directed to areas at least 15 metres from the regulatory flood plain of the Bay of Quinte or its wave uprush area, if applicable. The setbacks outlined above may be reduced, if it is demonstrated to be good planning, in accordance with a minor variance to the implementing zoning by-law and supported by the written approval of the appropriate authority.

f) The County shall encourage the Member Municipalities to use a one-zone approach to flood plain management. The creation of new lots in the flood plain shall not be permitted. Redevelopment on existing lots within the flood plain shall not be permitted without the approval of the local conservation authority or County peer review agent, as the case may be. Filling and/or redevelopment within these areas may require a Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations of Shorelines and Watercourses Permit from the local conservation authority or the local municipality that administers related by-laws. A one-zone approach generally prohibits new development in the floodplain area, except where the structures are intended for flood or erosion control or are otherwise required by the County, local municipality or other public agency and meet the requirements of the local municipality and appropriate authority(ies).

4.5.3.6 Notwithstanding 4.5.3.5 above, the County recognizes that there are portions of flood plains which could potentially be safely developed with no adverse impacts. In these flood plain areas, as identified by the appropriate authority, a two-zone approach to flood plain management shall be encouraged. A two-zone approach to floodplain management requires the identification of a floodway and flood fringe zone. New development in the floodway zone is to be prohibited or restricted to structures intended for flood or erosion control, or which are otherwise required by the County, local municipality or other public agency, and meet the requirements of the local municipality and other appropriate authority(ies).

4.5.4 Locally and Provincially Significant Wetlands ‘EP-W’

4.5.4.1 Wetlands provide essential habitat including food, space and shelter for a variety of freshwater fish, waterfowl, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. A proportionately high number of species at risk rely on wetlands and one-third of all threatened and endangered species in North America depend on wetlands. Wetlands are natural filters that improve water quality, control floods and recharge groundwater. Wetlands also provide opportunities for sustainable forestry, recreation, tourism and appreciation of nature in general.

4.5.4.2 Wetland areas designated Environmental Protection and identified with the symbol ‘EP-W’ on the Land Use Schedule 'OP-A' delineate wetlands and/or coastal wetlands, including the Lower Salmon River Wetland in Tyendinaga Township, that have been evaluated as provincially significant wetlands in accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement. Those wetland areas designated Environmental Protection without ‘W’ symbols delineate locally or regionally significant wetlands and/or coastal wetlands

4.5.4.3 Locally, regionally and Provincially Significant Wetlands shall be zoned and protected by Member Municipalities with equivalent EP and EP-W Zones that prohibits new development and/or site alteration within subject comprehensive zoning by-laws.

4.5.4.4 Policies in this Plan applicable to Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs) shall apply to any wetland that is subsequently evaluated and determined by the MNRF to be a PSW. The County may update Schedule OP-A to reflect the new PSW’s with an EP-W land use designation without an amendment to the Official Plan. Member Municipalities may likewise zone these wetlands EP-PSW (or similar name) within their comprehensive zoning by-laws.

4.5.4.5 The objectives with regard to wetland management are as follows:

a) Ensure the protection and conservation of all wetlands;

b) Ensure that the ecological and hydrological functions of all wetlands are protected, maintained and enhanced where possible;

c) Ensure the appropriate studies have been undertaken which demonstrate no negative impacts on or loss of a wetland feature or function prior to the granting of planning approvals such as consents or zoning by-law amendments;

d) Implement the findings and recommendations of the approved studies in Section c) above through a subdivision agreement, development agreement for a consent or site plan agreement, as appropriate; and,

e) Implement appropriate zoning restrictions and regulations for wetlands and adjacent lands on which future development could impact the wetland.

flood fringe zone may be permitted subject to requirements for flood-proofing to the regulatory flood level.

4.5.3.7 A two-zone approach to flood plain management will require an amendment to this Plan. The Town of Bancroft has used the two-zone approach as detailed in Part B -

Section 2.6.3 of the Urban Communities Secondary Plan. The criteria to be used by local municipalities to consider and evaluate the feasibility of implementing a twozone concept in flood plain areas shall include, but is not limited to:

a) Flood susceptibility and hydraulic capacity;

b) Physical characteristics and environmental features of the flood plain and adjacent lands;

c) Local need for development;

d) Impact of development in the flood plain and the watershed area;

e) Feasibility of floodproofing;

f) Constraints on the provision of services (i.e. watermains, sewers, drainage works, etc.);

g) Accessibility;

h) Changes in land use; and,

i) Administrative capability (staff availability and expertise for implementation of two-zone concept).

4.5.3.8

Strict application of the “Environmental Protection” policies may not always be appropriate for flood prone areas where development already exists in flood prone locations. In such areas, it may be in the public interest to assume a higher degree of flood risk than would normally be acceptable elsewhere. The concept of a “Special Policy Area” within flood plains may be recognized and controlled development may be permitted, once such areas are designated within this Plan and/or the Urban Communities Secondary Plan and approved by the appropriate authority(ies). Rawdon Creek, in the former Village of Stirling, as detailed within Part B - Section 2.6.5 of the Urban Communities Secondary Plan is subject to a special provision.

a) The designation of “Special Policy Areas” shall be considered for areas of development where a large component of a community's commercial, retail, industrial and residential development is located in the flood plain or floodway. Such a designation requires the approval of the Ministers of Natural Resources and Forestry and Municipal Affairs.

b) Regard shall be given in the implementing zoning by-law to rehabilitation or redevelopment of structures in “Special Policy Areas” in order to sustain community viability when major relocations are not considered feasible.

c) Infilling in “Special Policy Areas” may be permitted subject to the policies of Part B- Section 2.6.5 of the Urban Communities Secondary Plan.

d) “Special Policy Areas” shall be placed in separate classifications in the implementing zoning by-law.
