    <p>In addition to land holdings at 24, 130, 167, and 203 White Chapel Road, two additional properties, 254 and 253 White Chapel Road are proposed as “expansion lands,” to be included in the Ministerial Zoning Order. Picton Terminals is more than doubling in size. An MZO would apply to all of the pictured properties and parcels. (Image courtesy of the County’s GIS). Picton Terminals consists of two adjacent parcels, the first, about 75% of the property, is zoned Extractive Industrial (MX). The second is zoned Rural (RU1). The lands it has been working to acquire over the past decade are also zoned RU, or rural. All of the surrounding land is farmland and Picton Terminals&#8217; expansion plans involve the destruction of a number of historic farmhouses and barns.</p>
