61.1. In the territory of a regional county municipality included in any of the groups identified in the decree made under section 58.7 or on a lot situated in the territory of a community, where an application concerns an authorization for a new use for purposes other than agriculture, the commission must, in addition to the criteria set out in section 62, take into consideration whether there is an appropriate available area elsewhere in the territory of the local municipality outside the agricultural zone.
However, the commission is not required to take into consideration the existence of such an appropriate available area if it is demonstrated to the commission that it would be impossible to implement the type of use intended there.
