TOTAL
73. 84 hectares
32.40 hectares
106.24 hectares
2.0 LOCATION:
2.1 The subject properties are located north of the Canadian Pacific Railway (St. Lawrence
and Hudson Railway), east of Mill Street (Regional Road 17) and Highway 35/115,
south of Concession Road 3 and west of Arthur Street, being Part Lots 27 & 28,
Concession 2, and Former Township of Clarke (see Attachment 1).
3.0 BACKGROUND
3.1 On August 24, 2005 Staff received an application to amend the Clarington Official Plan
submitted by both Smooth Run Developments (Metrus Developments Inc) and
Brookfield Homes (Ontario) Limited. A Neighbourhood Design Plan was also submitted
by both parties.
Smooth Run Developments and Brookfield Homes have each submitted separate
applications for draft plans of subdivision as well as rezonings. The total number of
residential units proposed is 1469, comprising of 1220 single detached dwellings and
246 townhouse units.
3.2 Supportina Documentation
The applicants have provided the following documentation to support the development
applications.
Phase 1 - Environmental Site Assessment
The Site Screening Questionnaire prepared by Brookfield Homes indicated that an
orchard was situated on the site and as such, retained Golder Associates to prepare a
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). Soil sampling conducted determined
the presence of arsenic and free cyanide on the site. The soil sampling and analysis
are within the acceptable levels according to the Ministry of Environment's guidelines.
A Phase 1 ESA was not required for the lands owned by Smooth Run Developments.
REPORT NO.: PSD-001-06

Noise Impact Studies
Sernas Associates prepared individual Noise Impact studies for Smooth Run
Developments and Brookfield Homes. The studies address noise generated from
vehicular traffic on Concession Road 3 to the north, Arthur Street to the east, Regional
Road 17 and Highway 35/115 to the west, and train traffic from the railway to the south.
The reports recommend noise abatement measures to meet the noise levels acceptable
to the Region of Durham, Municipality of Clarington, CP Railway and the Ministry of
Environment. Noise fencing (1.8 metes) will be required along sections of Arthur Street
and Concession Road 3. Noise fencing and berms totaling 2.2 metres to 2.8 metres are
required along Regional Road 17 and where lots are influenced by noise from Highway
35/115. Where residential townhouses are located adjacent to the railway, a 7.3 metre
noise barrier is proposed comprising of 3.0 meter high noise fence erected on a 4.3 m
high earthen berm. The reports recommend that detailed noise impact studies be
submitted to identify noise mitigation measures and warning clauses to be included in
the subdivision agreements once the final grading plans and the building plans are
available.
Functional Servicina Study
Sernas Associates prepared one Functional Servicing Study for both sites. Minor
system flow from the neighbourhood is proposed to discharge to the two proposed
stormwater management ponds located abutting the railway.
Major system flows (overland flow) from the neighbourhood will be conveyed to the
stormwater management ponds via the public road allowances, with the exception of a
small area at the north end of the plan which drains onto Concession Road 3. Flow inlet
structures will be required on Regional Road 17 to intercept and direct the overland flow
into the west stormwater management pond.
Two stormwater management facilities are proposed that will meet water quality and
quantity targets outlined in the Foster Creek Subwatershed Planning Study (March
2001 ).
The northerly extension of the sanitary sewer on Regional Road 17 will provide a
sanitary sewer outlet for the neighbourhood.
Watermain supply to the neighbourhood will require expansion of the existing Zone 1
reservoir and the installation of the permanent Zone II pumping station. A section of
feeder main will be required on Arthur Street to supply pressure and flow to the internal
water distribution system.
4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
4.1 The lands generally slope from north to south and are cultivated with soybean and corn
crops. A small tributary flows from a woodlot east of Arthur Street towards the railway
tracks. The lands owned by Smooth Run Developments are currently vacant. The lands
owned by Brookfield Homes support one single detached dwelling and barns.

5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
5.1 The applications were reviewed in the context of the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement.
Section 1.1.3, Settlement Areas, states that new development shall occur adjacent to
built up areas and shall have compact form, a mix of uses and densities that allow for
the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services.
Section 1.4, Housing Policies, states that Planning authorities are required to provide for
a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are
designated and a three year supply of zoned and services within draft approved and
registered plans. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and
public services are or will be available. A full range of housing types and densities shall
be provided to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the
regional market area.
Section 1.5, Public Spaces, Parks and Open Space policies, states that healthy active
communities should be promoted by planning public streets and spaces that are safe
and facilitate pedestrian and non-motorized movement. A full range of publicly
accessible built and natural setting for recreation including facilities, parks, open space
and trails should also be considered.
Section 1.6, Infrastructure and Public Service Facilities, states that infrastructure and
public services facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient and cost effective
manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for growth so that they are
available to meet current and projected needs. The use of existing infrastructure and
public service facilities should be optimized where feasible before considering
developing new infrastructure and public service facilities.
Section 1.8, Energy and Air Quality, states that planning authorities shall support energy
efficiency and improved air quality through various means in the planning and
development process.

6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
6.1 Durham Reaion Official Plan
The lands are designated as Living Area within the Durham Regional Official Plan.
Lands designated as Living Area permit the development of residential areas with
defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes
and tenure. The proposed increase to the population does not appear to conform to the
Regional Official Plan but staff are awaiting comments from Regional staff.
6.2 Clarinaton Official Plan
6.2.1 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as Urban
Residential, and Special Policy Area G and Future Urban Residential. The use of lands
within the Urban Residential designation shall be predominately for single and semi-
detached housing. Public elementary, separate elementary and secondary school,
medium density and neighbourhood park symbols are also designated on both sites.
6.2.2 The lands north of the northerly collector road (Streets B and C) is designated within the
Special Policy Area G as shown on Attachment 3. This area is potentially affected by
the hog operation immediately north of the urban boundary and the surrounding
planning area. The area _ of influence as defined in the Minimum Distance Separation
Formula (shown on Attachment 3) is designated Future Urban Residential Area. Until
such time as the hog operation or similar agricultural operation ceases, the area of
influence shall remain designated Future Urban Residential. There are also lands
designated Urban Residential in Special Policy Area G. As a condition of development,
the developers shall include a warning clause in all purchase and sale agreements
indicating potential impacts from agricultural operations including noise and odour.
These lands may also be affected by the hog operation. One public elementary school
site and one separate secondary school site and a neighbourhood park symbol are also
identified within Special Policy Area G.
6.2.3 The lands within the North Village Neighbourhood have a population allocation of 3900
and a housing target of 1350, being 1050 low density units, 250 medium density units
and 50 units for intensification. The proposed amendment requests increasing the
target to 1,700 units and a population of 5,100. It is noted that the Region modified the
Clarington Official Plan to reduce the original North Village population from 4300 to
3900 in order to conform with the Regional Plan.
6.2.4 The Clarington Official Plan requires that prior to the consideration and approval of a
plan of subdivision, the Municipality shall require the preparation -of Neighbourhood
Design Plan. The plan shall be prepared in consultation with the Municipality and other
agencies. A Neighbourhood Design Plan is plan the future development of an entire
neighbourhood and does not require the approval of Council.
REPORT NO.: PSD-001-06

7.0 ZONING BY-LAW
7.1 Both properties are zoned "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" zone in Comprehensive Zoning
By-law 84-63, as amended. Zoning by-law amendments are required in order to
implement both proposed plans of subdivision.
8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
8.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject
sites. Public Notices signs for each development were posted on Mill Street,
Concession Road 3 and Arthur Street.
8.2 As of the date of writing this report, Staff received a phone call from the owner of the
hog farm operation Mr. Hugh Allin. He wanted to confirm that Special Policy Area G,
and specifically the Minimum Separate Distance would protect his farming operation.
Staff subsequently met with Mr. Allin and advised him of the wording of the policy and
suggested that he participate in the public meeting or advise Committee and Council in
writing of any concerns he may have regarding the proposals.
9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
9.1 The applications for the official plan amendment, plans of subdivision and rezoning
were circulated to various agencies for comment. The Neighbourhood Design Plan was
circulated separately.
Comments have not been received from the following agencies:
. Durham Region Planning Department
. Durham Region Works Department
. Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority
. Separate School Board.
9.2 The Clarington Emergency & Fire Services offered no objection.
9.3 The Engineering Services Department has advised that they continue to review the
applications however, have provided some initial comments.
. The municipal infrastructure, such as roads, storm sewers and storm water
drainage systems do not exist, therefore the proposals are considered
premature at this time. These works are identified in the Municipality's
Development Charges Background Report proposed in the 2015- 2031
timeframe.
. Full development of the neighbourhood will necessitate improvements to the
existing transportation network. A Traffic Study should be undertaken to assess
external road accesses based on projected traffic volumes the need for
REPORT NO.: PSD-001-06
PAGE 9
additional traffic signals, a grade separation at Arthur Street at the railway as
well as infrastructure improvements such as road widenings.
. Internal traffic network, including the reduction of road widths and rear lanes, lot
configurations with respect to driveway locations do not conform to current
engineering standards.
. A Stormwater Management Implementation report should be prepared to
demonstrate that the size and location of the proposed stormwater ponds are
sufficient for the proposed developments.
. The location, size and configuration of all the parks need to be re-examined.
. The applicant should provide a Phasing Plan which outlines all phases of the
implementation and ultimate construction of the entire development.
9.4 The Canadian Pacific Railway (St. Lawrence and Hudson Railway) provided comments
on the development applications. CPR advises that the proposed developments abut
the principle main line. The Railway is not in favour of residential developments
adjacent to their right-of-way, as the land use is not compatible with railway operations.
However, a standard list of conditions of approval were provided which includes,
appropriate noise attenuation and adding warning clauses in the purchase and sale
agreements regarding noise and vibrations.
9.5 The Ministry of Transportation has provided individual comments for the development
applications. The Ministry has advised that the sites are subject to building/land use
permits from the MTO. In addition, the following conditions of draft plan approval were
requested:
. That prior to final approval, the owner shall submit a Traffic Impact Study to
assess the impacts of the development on the Highway 35/115 and Concession
Road 3 interchange;
. That prior to final approval, the owner shall submit a stormwater management
report indicating the intended treatment of the calculated run-off; and
. That prior to final approval, the owner shall enter into a legal agreement with the
Ministry whereby the owner agrees to assume financial responsibility for all
highway improvements and to the interchange necessitated from these
developments.
9.6 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has based its comments on the
Neighbourhood Plan and advises it has no major objections. The development of this
neighbourhood will yield 741 elementary students to Newcastle Public School, and 205
secondary students to Clarke High School, both of which are over capacity. As such,
the Board requires;
REPORT NO.: PSD-001-06
PAGE 10
i) Two elementary and one secondary school sites (the elementary school site
must be 6 acres, and the secondary school site must be 15 acres in total). The
board prefers sites adjacent to park;
ii) Sidewalks on all streets;
Hi) Storm water management issues be addressed;
iv) Six foot chain link fence along the boundary of the Board property and residential
lots;
v) Soil testing be completed prior to the Board entering into an agreement;
vi) The owner deliver the entire school site to the Board or the Owner enter into an
Option Agreement with the Board or with the adjoining property owner to the
satisfaction of the Board prior to Final Approval;
vii) That services to the school site be delivered early in development of each phase.
1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS
10.1 Smooth Run Developments and Brookfield Homes each own large parcels equal to
approximately 96% of land in the North Village Neighbourhood. They have submitted
one application to amend the Clarington Official Plan. The amendment is requesting an
increase in the population and housing targets for Newcastle Village and the North
Village Neighbourhood. The proposal to increase densities, while consistent with
emerging provincial directions, does not appear to be consistent with the Durham
Regional Official Plan. As noted above, the Region modified the Clarington Official Plan
to reduce the population for the Village North Neighbourhood from the Council-adopted
4300 persons to 3900 persons. In addition, the amendment is also requesting a
reduction in the current collector road widths from 23-26 metres to 20 metres and a
reduction in the local road from 20 metres to 18 metres. The amendment also requests
revised locations for collector roads, parks and schools.
10.2 The proponents have also submitted a Neighbourhood Design Plan for the entire
neighbourhood, not only those lands subject to the development applications. It includes
road alignments, sidewalks, trails and pedestrian nodes, lotting patterns, school, parks,
open space system and stormwater management facilities.
The Plan is accompanied by design brief which shows urban design elements
consistent with some New Urbanism concepts. As Council is aware, New Urbanism
concepts are being explored through the Brookhill Secondary Planning Study. Some
specific ideas, such as reduced road widths and rear access lanes are being reviewed
through this process. As there are similarities between the ideas for the Brookhill
neighbourhood and the North Newcastle neighbourhood, it is recommended that the
neighbourhood design plan be peer reviewed at the expense of the applicants. It is
further recommended that The Planning Partnership, consultants for the Brookhill
project, provide the peer review.
There is a need for more extensive community consultation on the proposed
Neighbourhood Plan so this will be undertaken in Newcastle as part of the peer review
process.
REPORT NO.: PSD-001-06
PAGE 11
10.3 The North Village Neighbourhood concept is based on a strict gird-iron street system
organized around a central neighbourhood spine identified as Street D on the Smooth
Run draft plan of subdivision. The main neighbourhood facilities (schools and parks)
are organized around that central neighbourhood spine. There are a number of merits
of the proposed neighbourhood plan, such as the proposed development of community
gateway features, but a number of concerns have also arisen to date as follows:
. Strict adherence to a grid-iron approach does not provide for interesting
neighbourhood spaces - a grid street system does allow for curvilinear elements;
. Virtually all lots have shallow depth extending only 28 m (92 ft.);
. The location, size and configuration of parks is not desirable - Park Block 898 is
a remnant piece with limited visual access; Park Block 407 should not be located
between two school sites;
. The noise attenuation barrier (a 3 m noise fence on a 3.4 m berm) for the
neighbourhood is proposed to be located within public open space and would be
an ongoing municipal maintenance issue;
. The proposed reduced street-width standards and the three rear-lanes proposed
to service the townhouse blocks are not currently accepted municipal standards;
. Given the lack of natural features on these properties, the storm water
management ponds should be developed and made visually accessible as an
amenity feature;
. The inconsistencies with the Foster Creek Sub-Watershed Plan as elaborated in
Section 10.5.
10.4 Special Policy Area 'G', and more specifically the Future Urban Residential designation
provides policies to protect the existing hog operation and its affects from encroaching
urban land uses. Both draft plans of subdivision show the area of influence from the
hog operation in the appropriate location. However, draft approval for these portions of
the plans cannot be granted to these lands until such time as the hog operation is gone,
and an official plan amendment is approved to change the designation from Future
Urban Residential to Urban Residential. All other portions of Special Policy Area 'G'
can proceed but with a warning clause on title with respective to odours from farm
operations.
10.5 The subject lands are located within the Foster Creek Sub-watershed. The Foster Creek
Subwatershed Planning Study was completed in March 2001 by the consulting firms of
Gartner Lee Limited and Greenland International Consulting Inc. The study identified
resource management objective for aquatic and terrestrial habitat, surface and
groundwater functions, soil and land resources and wildlife corridors and linkages. The
report recommends, among other things, that a portion of a buried tributary north of the
railway in the vicinity of Arthur Street be day-lighted and a 100 metre wide natural
corridor be established to connect to the Wilmot Creek and the Foster Creek valleys.
The establishment or restoration of native trees and ground cover in the corridor will
facilitate wildlife movement.
REPORT NO.: PSD-001-06
PAGE 12
The recommendations in this report were approved by Council in principle, and as such,
the Neighbourhood Design Plan and proposed applications are required to reflect the
recommendations contained in the sub watershed study.
10.6 The request of the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board for school sites varies from the
Official Plan which provides for:
· 2 public elementary schools
· 1 separate elementary school
· 1 separate secondary school
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is now requesting a deletion of one
elementary school site and the addition of a secondary school site. Further discussions
with both school boards is required to ascertain their current requirements.
10.7 The servicing and road infrastructure required to support development in this
neighbourhood is identified in the Municipality's Development Charges background
study for sometime between 2015 and 2031. The applications include almost all the
land within the North Village Neighourhood and yet infrastructure money to support his
development was not anticipated for a minimum of nine (9) years. Bringing this area on
sooner that anticipated will affect the Municipality's infrastructure planning and may not
make the most efficient use of existing and committed infrastructure. As a result, staff
recommend that a Financial Impact Study be prepared in accordance with the policies
of the Official Plan to ascertain impacts on the Municipality's financial situation. The
Municipality shall select and retain professional qualified professional to undertake such
a study at the expense of the proponents. It is proposed that Hemson Consulting
undertake this work since they undertook the analysis for the Development Charges
Study in 2005
10.8 Staff have discussed these recommendations for the urban design peer review and the
financial impact analysis with the proponents of Smooth Run Developments and they
have requested a meeting to discuss staff's requests.
11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
11.1 Staff recommends that the neighbourhood design plan submitted by Sernas Associates
be peer reviewed, and that the cost of the peer review be bourne by the development
proponents. Staff also recommend that a Financial Impact Study be submitted, the cost
for which will also be bourne by the development proponents.
11.2 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements under the Public Meeting under
the Planning Act, and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, staff
respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for further processing and
the preparation of a subsequent report.

The purpose of the Amendment is to accommodate the design of a
Neighbourhood Plan for the North Village Neighbourhood (N5) of
Newcastle Village.
Specifically the Amendment will:
1) increase the number of low and medium density residential units
targeted for the North Village Neighbourhood to more closely reflect
desirable urban residential densities:
2) revise the population targets anticipated due to item 1) above;
3) revise the collector road pattern to reflect a finer grained grid of
collector roads in the North Village Neighbourhood;
4) apply specific reduced road right-of-way widths within the
neighbourhood recognizing the grid of Collector roads (as noted
above) and local roads in the North Village Neighbourhood;
5) relocate the three elementary schools and two neighbourhood
parks within the North Village Neighbourhood based upon the
revised collector road pattern; and
6) add a neighbourhood park to the North Village Neighbourhood such
that each elementary school would be part of a school/park
complex.
This Amendment is based upon a Neighbourhood Design Plan for the
North Village Neighbourhood which integrates the development proposals
of the three major land owners making up virtually all of the land area of
the North Village Neighbourhood.
Actual Amendment:
The Clarington Official Plan is amended as follows:
