7.2 Applications for Proposed Amendments to the Clarington Official Plan,
Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law
Applicant: High Street Courtice Inc.
Report: PSD -009-17
Anne Taylor Scott, Planner, made a verbal an electronic presentation to the Committee
regarding the application.
Suzanne Reiner, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She made a
verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. Ms. Reiner advised the
Committee that she is representing a number of the residents of Darlington Boulevard,
Foxhunt Trail and Kingswood Drive. She explained to the Committee that her two main
concerns are with the rezoning of 13 and 15 Darlington Boulevard and with the proposed
vehicular access to Darlington Boulevard. Ms. Reiner referred to the Clarington Official
Plan and noted the goal of the Plan is to celebrate the history and character of Clarington
and that any new development is existing neighbourhoods should respect and reinforce
the physical character of the neighbourhood. She reviewed a street view photo of
Darlington Boulevard and noted her family moved to the area for the character, large lots
and the rural feel. Ms. Reiner continued by stating there are very few areas remaining in
Courtice that have properties with large lots. She explained that she is concerned with
the rezoning and that two lots will result in 24 units. Ms. Reiner does not believe that this
development will conform to the existing neighbourhood design. She added that the
Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan has set a minimum target of 60 residential units
per gross hectare along Highway 2 and this development will allow for 127 units per
hectare. Ms. Reiner reviewed the definition of an R1 designation and asked if 13 and 15
Darlington Boulevard were not purchased, would this development still proceed? She
added that 13 and 15 Darlington Boulevard are not included in the Courtice Main Street
Improvement Plan Improvement Plan corridor and stated that these properties should
remain zoned R1. Ms. Reiner explained to the Committee that the existing commercial
-3-

development has an impact on the traffic in the area and asked that further traffic studies
be conducted as she does not agree with the current traffic review. She added that the
local business has caused parking issues, increased speeding and traffic congestion.
Resolution #PD -023-17
Moved by Councillor Cooke, seconded by Councillor Hooper
That the delegation of Suzanne Reiner be extended for an additional two minutes.
Carried
Ms. Reiner believes that the vehicular access to Darlington Boulevard will increase the
traffic issues. She stated that Darlington Boulevard is being used as a short cut to Olive
Street and the 401. Mr. Reiner asked for an additional traffic light to be installed on
Highway 2 if this development proceed. She noted that this is a large development and
it should not be rushed. Ms. Reiner concluded by asking for no access to Darlington
Boulevard, a traffic light to be installed on Highway 2 and for zoning of 13 and 15
Darlington Boulevard to remain R1.
Wendy Kates, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She advised the
Committee that she lives just north of where the vehicle access will be on Darlington
Boulevard. Ms. Kates explained that she chose her home for the lot, location, and
charm. She added that any new homes that have been added to this area blend in with
the existing homes in the area. Ms. Kates added that she called the municipality to
confirm the R1 zoning in this area. She noted that she is surprised by the traffic in the
area and believes that it needs to be decreased and not increased. Ms. Kates explained
that the LCBO, Tim Hortons and Shoppers all create additional traffic and make this a
dangerous intersection. She stated that this development is unfair to the existing
residents, will have a detrimental impact to the area and that the remaining homeowners
will be forced to sell for further development. Ms. Kates asked if the land to the east will
be developed and stated that she believes the developers will continue to try and
purchase and develop more high density housing. She added that she is concerned with
the construction traffic as the roads are struggling to accommodate the current level of
traffic. Ms. Kates concluded by stating that she believes the two entrances on Highway
2 are sufficient and that there is no need for access off of Darlington Boulevard. She
asked for the Members of Committee to reconsider the development and the impact it
will have on the existing owner.
David Brown, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that his main concern is the environmental impact of the proposed
development. Mr. Brown explained to the Committee that Farewell Creek is the largest
subwatershed in Black Farewell Harmony creek systems. He continued by explaining
that this area is over 3700 hectares and has been classified by the Ministry of Natural
Resources as a cold water system. Mr. Brown advised the Committee that he is
concerned with the area between Tooley Mill and Second Marsh. He noted that this
development will be approximately 4.26 hectares and the watershed will be maintained
by and underground storage system and sewers. Mr. Brown noted the Oil and Grip
-4-

Separators (OGS) are being installed and he does not believe they are adequate. He
continued by explaining that they will miss many pollutants and contaminants. Mr.
Brown explained that flushing water continuously in the creek will affect the water
temperature. He added wildlife and the adjacent woodlands will be compromised by this
development. Mr. Brown referred to a previous develop east of Farewell Creek that
resulted in foundation walls being built very close to the creek. He added that there
would be major consequence if these walls began to fail. Mr. Brown does not believe
anyone is taking responsibility for the creek system and he advised the Committee that
some of the residents are willing to help with the cleanup of the area. He concluded by
asking for the ecosystem between Tooley Mill and Second Marsh needs to be protected
and that development will have a negative impact to this area. Mr. Brown thanked the
Committee and offered to answer questions from the Committee.
David White, King Courtice Investments Inc., spoke in opposition to the application. He
advised the Committee that he is representing the owners of the commercial plaza
containing the LCBO, CIBC, and Swiss Chalet. Mr. White explained that this location
has several constraints including the slight slope of Highway 2 being between two
signalled intersections. He added that this makes turning difficult and increases traffic in
the area. Mr. White noted that it is unfortunate that Darlington Boulevard will be used as
the main roadway to alleviate traffic for the proposed development. He added that there
were concerns when the LCBO was built with Darlington Boulevard being able to sustain
the additional traffic. Mr. White explained that accommodations were made at that time
to assist with traffic and parking issues and concerns. He stated that he believes there
were errors in the traffic study for the current development and specifically referenced
the trip generation portion of the study. Mr. White noted that the additional traffic signal
between Darlington Boulevard and Centerfield Drive is not ideal, that the customers in
the plaza use Darlington Boulevard to exit to Highway 2 and that he does not feel that
the "all turns motion" will continue. He concluded by stating that he does support
development however he does not feel this is an ideal location for this development.
Susan Rodesky, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She advised the
Committee that she had previously sent a letter outlining her concerns. Ms. Rodesky
added that she is not opposed to change but does not believe this proposal is
acceptable. She stated that the traffic has drastically increased with the opening of the
Esso Gas Station and the LCBO and that will increase with this development. Ms.
Rodesky continued by stating that Darlington Boulevard is not a major road and that
traffic should be kept to a minimum. She added that she is also concerned with the
proposed height of the building and the speeding in the area. Ms. Rodesky concluded
by advising the Committee that she is opposed to the application as it is being presented
and requested that the access at Darlington Boulevard be removed. She asked the
Committee to consider the environmental impact and noted that the issues of partying
and garbage in the creek needs to be addressed.
T -jay King, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he moved to the area for the rural setting. Mr. King added that both
traffic and speeding are a concern. He stated that there were 20,000 cars in a 31 day

timeframe and that is not acceptable for the area. Mr. King concluded by advising the
Committee that the entrance on Darlington Boulevard will increase these issues.
Jeff Dalziel, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the Committee that he
was here with a friend who resides near Darlington Boulevard. Mr. Dalziel explained that
he recently moved from Toronto to Coldstream Drive in Oshawa. He continued by
explaining that when the road was widened it resulted in more traffic in the area. Mr.
Dalziel advised the Committee that he ended up moving further north to avoid added
stress. He concluded by advising the Committee that he feels this development will
cause added stress and asked for them to consider the wellbeing of the area residents.
Jim Kozak, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he bought his home for the country setting. Mr. Kozak noted that he is
concerned with the traffic and the additional stress that this development will cause the
area residents.
Jeff Shemilt, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he opposes the rezoning as it will not keep with the current
neighbourhood design. Mr. Shemilt added that he is concerned with the Darlington
Boulevard access and that the proposed parking will not be adequate for the
development.
Stephanie Commanda, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She stated
that the access to Darlington Boulevard will be directly in line with her driveway. Ms.
Commanda added that she is concerned with the lights from the cars will be shining
directly into her home and those of her neighbours.
Gord Hanlon, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that the traffic has increased since the LCBO was built. Mr. Hanlon stated
that this development does not fit in to the existing neighbourhood design and he is
concerned with the access to Darlington Boulevard.
Robert Scott, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he shares the same concerns as the previous delegations. Mr. Scott
explained that he previously resided on Tooley Road and moved due to the stress of the
new development being built in that area. He continued be stating the traffic is a major
issue and the current infrastructure cannot support any additional traffic. Mr. Scott noted
that he cuts through Darlington Boulevard and Foxhunt Trail as Highway 2 is too
congested with traffic. He referred to the rules and regulations of building new
developments in Kanata which includes ensuring there are adequate bike and walking
trails. Mr. Scott added that the trails and walkways in Clarington are insufficient, which
forces cyclists and runners to use the roadways. He concluded by stating this area
should be developed with low density, single detached homes.
Roman Zydownyk, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he was speaking in addition to correspondence that he previously
submitted to the Planning Department. Mr. Zydownyk noted that he is concerned with
-6-

Minutes

the increased traffic in the area. He asked for the Municipality to survey the area
resident to determine if they would like their properties to have curbs installed. Mr.
Zydownyk asked about the possibility of the Darlington Boulevard access to be gated
using a transponder to enter. He noted that the access points to the 401 are Harmony
Road and Courtice Road and asked for the Committee to consider requesting that the
toll charge be removed from the future Highway 418. Mr. Zydownyk concluded by
asking for a Courtice Central Park to be developed behind Tooley Mill Park.
Jeffrey Norman, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He explained that
he lives directly next to the proposed development. Mr. Norman advised the Committee
that he does not feel this development is consistent with the existing area. He added
that Darlington Boulevard is not meant for high density traffic. Mr. Norman asked why
three high rise buildings are being developed when there is currently nothing like this in
Courtice. He concluded by asking for all of the residents' concerns be considered and
for Committee to reconsider this development.
Benoit Dugas, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised that he
moved to the area for the quiet setting and that it was a dead end street. Mr. Dugas
added that, since the LCBO and Esso with the Tim Hortons were built, the traffic has
increased. He added that he feels the crime has increased in this area and that this
development will negatively affect property values. Mr. Dugas concluded by asking for
this development to be built closer to the future Highway 418.
Jim Boate, Bike Friendly, spoke to the application. He advised the Committee that he is
concerned that this development will have an impact on active transportation in
Clarington. Mr. Boate asked for a bike lane to be installed on Highway 2 from Townline
Road to Courtice Road and for a bike path in Tooley Mill Park. He added that these bike
lanes and paths can lead to the future GO Station. Mr. Boate advised the Committee
that the residents should be encourage to use active transportation. He concluded by
asking Council to work with the Region of Durham to reduce the speed on Highway 2 in
Courtice from 60 to 50 kilometres per hour.
Connie Tuck, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She explained to the
Committee that she is concerned with the speeding and traffic in the area. Ms. Tuck
advised the Committee that, since the LCBO was built, there has been an increase in
traffic, speeding and crime and that adding more people in the area will make it worse.
She added that decreasing the speed on Highway 2 will cause further problems on
Foxhunt Trail.
April Dushene, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She asked the
Members of Committee if they had been to Darlington Boulevard. Ms. Dushene noted
that there is a charm to this area and the residents are passionate about where they live.
She continued by stating that this development will bring chaos, speeding and traffic to
the area. Ms. Dushene explained that she lives at the end of Darlington Boulevard and
people continuously use her driveway as a turn around. She added that the speeding
and traffic has increased since the LCBO was built. Ms. Dushene concluded by advising
-7-

Minutes

the Committee that originally she was not concerned with the development but now that
she has received more information, she is now opposed to the development.
Vito Deligio, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He explained to the
Committee that he felt very fortunate when he purchased his home. Mr. Deligio advised
the Committee that he is continuously getting offers to buy his property. He stated that
he does not agree with two large lots being sold and divided into 24 lot. Mr. Deligio
added that this area should keep its rural feel.
Louis Kaye, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She advised the
Committee that her children have never been able to play on the street. Ms. Kaye added
that the traffic has increased since the LCBO was built. She noted that currently the
largest building in Courtice is the medical building and this proposed development is
more than double that size.
Sheila Costanzi, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She noted her
main concern is with the traffic. Ms. Costanzi advised the Committee that she is aware
of the Places to Grow Act but does not believe this small area of property on Darlington
Boulevard needs to be included. She added that this development does not keep with
the current neighbourhood design.
Melissa Giroux, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. She noted that this
area has changed drastically in recent years. Ms. Giroux advised the Committee she is
concerned with health care services in the area. She explained that, if she goes to the
Courtice Health Centre, she regularly has to wait two hours to see a doctor and
previously it would only have been a 30 minute wait. Ms. Giroux added that she is
concerned with increase crime, drinking and driving and does not believe there is a need
for high density housing in this area.
Sandra Buchan, spoke to the application on behalf of a friend that lives in the area. She
explained that her friend often has vehicles blocking her driveway and there have been
occasions where the LCBO delivery truck has nearly tipped over in front of her home.
Ms. Buchan added the delivery trucks using the laneway behind the LCBO leave tracks
in the grass. She concluded by advising the Committee that the lights from the plaza are
a concern and the access to Darlington Boulevard will create further problems.

Minutes
January 30, 2017
Jeff Goldman spoke in support of the application. He explained to the Committee that he
is the owner of the commercial property that abuts the subject property. Mr. Goldman
added that he was responsible for assembling the majority of the land for the subject
property. He explained that he originally purchased these properties and the Farewell
and Pointe of View lands were previously approved for high density residential
development. Mr. Goldman added that he was involved with the previous rezoning
applications, public meetings, and consultations. He continued by explaining that he was
involved in the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan. Mr. Goldman stated that, with the
exception of the Darlington Boulevard properties, the application is proposing a lower
density development than is previously approved zoning permits. He added that the
applicants are looking for more townhomes and fewer high rise buildings. Mr. Goldman
noted that the he attended the public meetings in 2009 and the concerns with traffic and
speeding are the same. He advised the Committee that he feels that curbs and
sidewalks would increase the safety in the area and that some of the streets need to
urbanized if this application is approved. Mr. Goldman explained that the term
"apartment" refers to the built form not a form of ownership and that the owners are
proposing a high end development. He believes the homes backing onto the ravine will
reduce the crime because there would be greater visibility from the residents. Mr.
Goldman stated that environmental studies will need to be conducted prior to approval
and the development will provide mitigation and the run off will be filtered into the creek.
He questioned the efficiency of the existing septic systems and suggested that they may
need to be updated. Mr. Goldman noted that Tooley Mill Park was developed and
funded as part of the original application and the current application requires the valley
lands to be given to the municipality as part of the approval. He noted that the purchase
of the properties on Darlington Boulevard were on the advice of the municipality and
required for secondary access to the development. Mr. Goldman concluded by
acknowledging that the discussion of additional traffic lights needs to be discussed
further.
Ryan Guetter, Weston Consulting, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He thanked the
members of the community and noted that there were several principals of High Street
Courtice Inc. in attendance. Mr. Guetter advised the Committee that they are committed
working with Staff, Council, and members of the community. He explained that the
application is for an overall reduced density than the zoning permits. Mr. Guetter added
that, as per provincial policy intensification must occur, in this case, in the Secondary
Plan area. The Darlington Boulevard properties are not within the Secondary Plan area.
However, provincial policy speaks to the intensification of all urban areas and the lands
on Darlington Boulevard have the rural characteristics which would be appropriate for
some intensification but not the same amount of intensification as the properties on
Highway 2. Mr. Guetter addressed the issue of traffic and noted that this is why lower
density homes are being proposed on Darlington Boulevard. He added that they are
trying to maintain the lot lines and have proposed a transition from the lower density to
the high density buildings. Mr. Guetter explained that, in addition to the density being
lower than previously approved, they have proposed a reduction in the overall height of
the buildings. He reviewed proposed design and streetscape, which illustrated the
transition from low to high density buildings. Mr. Guetter noted that many environmental
13

studies have been completed, and that a portion of land will be given back to the
municipality and restoration work will be done. He stated that they are open to signal
lights. Mr. Guetter advised the Committee that they are have received comments from
Municipal Staff and they are expecting to receive comments from the Region of Durham.
He added that they are committed to finding adequate solutions for the concerns.

development. Mr. Guetter answered questions from the Committee.

• No Dust Fall Exceedences in 2016
22
• Question: Why is dust not monitored further away?
➢At greater distances, the impact of the operation is less and the certainty that
the readings are a result of St. Marys operation is less
➢The guidelines require the monitors be located at the fence line
c) Emissions
• SO2 emissions for 2016 to August 31st are 3,580 tonnes; the total allowance for 2016 is
3,511 tonnes.
• NO,, emissions for 2016 to August 31" are 2,044 tonnes; the total allowance for 2016 is
3,192 tonnes.
• For SO2 emissions, the allowances from the plant in St Marys, Ontario may be applied
and additional allowances may be purchased - this is allowed as it is in the same
"airshed"
• Emissions are still compliant with legislation for local emissions, allowances are part of a
province wide emission reduction program
• Allowances may be bought and sold between different producers, however, St Marys is
striving to reduce emissions through investment in new processes and equipment and
has seen some success in using a new "lime hydrator" technology - the first of its kind in
the industry - and is investigating other methods
• Industry at large is investigating new ways to control/reduce emissions
• Alternative methods will take at minimum 2 years to permit, get capital approval for,
and construct
7. Dock Operation Practices
• Controls in place to reduce dust generated from dock operations
➢Petcoke piles are covered in tarps and dust suppressant is applied on open faces

suppressant is applied on the piles — most piles are coal piles presently
➢Maximum height of fuel piles is 10m
➢Boat unloading Operations stop when wind speeds exceed 40km/h and are in
direction of concern
➢Backup alarms on all equipment consistently on site
8. Quarry Operation
• Extracting levels 1,2,5 presently, to return to 1,4 and 5 soon
• No ground or air vibration exceedances to date in 2016
• Overburden stripping and stockpiling underway

Re: Greenbelt of Ontario
Dear Ms. Greentree:
At the last regular General Purpose and Administration meeting of the
Council of the Township of Scugog held January 16, 2017 the above
captioned matter was discussed.
wish to advise that the following resolution was passed and ratified at the
Council meeting on January 23, 2017:
"WHEREAS Township of Scugog Council received and endorsed a
staff report entitled "Co-ordinated Land Use Planning Review —
Township of Scugog Comments", dated October 17, 2016 as the
Township's comments in response to the Provincial Land Use
Planning Review; and
WHEREAS the Staff report recommended, among other matters, that
a new financial arrangement is needed for those local municipalities
that comprise the Greenbelt such as in the form of provincial grants to
compensate local municipalities for the reduced ability to increase
their assessment through growth; and
WHEREAS the Staff report recommended, among other matters, that
a provincial working group be established to examine the financial
implications associated with being located in the Greenbelt and
identifying appropriate mitigation measures for predominantly rural
municipalities such as Scugog; and
WHEREAS the Mayor for the Township of Scugog forwarded a letter
dated December 5, 2016, to Hazel McCallion, Ex -Officio Advisor to
thA Premier on I-qci p -s within the GT -HA, real-lestlno that tkle ( THA

Mayors and Chairs Report on the Provincial Co-ordinated Land Use
Planning Review include a provision which indicates that a
sustainable funding arrangement (such as redirecting a portion of the
carbon tax to Greenbelt municipalities based on their percentage and
total land area included in the Greenbelt) is absolutely necessary to
support the financial viability of the rural road networks throughout the
GTHA's Greenbelt municipalities; and
NOW THEREFORE the Township of Scugog recommends initiating
a provincial working group, and Councillor Kett be designated as the
lead, to examine the financial implications associated with being
located in the Greenbelt and identifying appropriate mitigation
measures, to take the form of a Greenbelt Sustainability Caucus
comprising two representatives from each of the GTHA's Greenbelt
Communities; and
THAT the resolution be circulated to all Greenbelt municipalities for
consideration and endorsement."
Should you require anything further in this regard, please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned.

Report
To: The Committee of the Whole
From: Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development
Report: #2017 -COW -33
Date: February 1, 2017
Subject:
Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Area Boundary — Environmental Bill of Rights
Registry No. 012-9247, File: L35-03
Recommendation:
THAT the Committee of the Whole recommends to Regional Council that:
1) Report #2017 -COW -33 be endorsed as Durham Region's response to the
Environmental Bill of Rights Registry posting (EBR Posting No. 012-9247) regarding
Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary, including that:
a. The Region has no concerns with the proposed minor Greenbelt Area
boundary changes in Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa; and
b. The Region has concerns that the Province has not developed a clearly
defined process to consider site specific requests, and did not complete this
process in a fully transparent and consultative manner.
2) A copy of Report #2017 -COW -33 be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Durham's area municipalities.
Report:
1. Purpose
1.1 On January 11, 2017, the Province released proposed minor boundary changes to
the Greenbelt Plan, requesting comments prior to February 27, 2017 (47 -day public
31
Report #2017 -COW -33
review and comment period).
Page 2 of 7
1.2 As previously outlined in Commissioner's Report #2016 -COW -34, a component of
the Province's Co-ordinated Land Use Planning Review (Co-ordinated Review)
included two separate initiatives to:
• Review requests for boundary changes to the Greenbelt Plan (Greenbelt Site
Specific Review); and
• Consider possible expansions to the Greenbelt outside of the Greater Toronto
and Hamilton Area (Growing the Greenbelt). The Province has not provided a
status update on this initiative, and as a result, these matters will be the
subject of future reports to Committee.
1.3 This report provides an overview and a Regional response to the proposed boundary
changes within Durham (Attachments 1, 2 and 3) and the process followed. Staff
have no concerns with the minor changes that have been proposed; however, staff
do have concerns with respect to the review process itself.
2. Background
2.1 Since the establishment of the Greenbelt in 2005, and throughout the Co-ordinated
Review consultations, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (the Ministry) received over
700 site-specific requests from landowners and municipalities across the Greater
Golden Horseshoe (GGH) to remove sites from the Greenbelt.
2.2 The Ministry reports they have reviewed and assessed all requests, and consulted
with the ministries of Natural Resources and Forestry; Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs; Environment and Climate Change; and Transportation on requests relevant
to their mandates.
2.3 In undertaking this review, Provincial staff considered the following:
• Avoiding boundary changes that would fragment farmland, including prime
agricultural lands;
• Maintaining the Greenbelt's Natural Heritage System (NHS) that can be
supported despite urbanization occurring in proximity to, and downstream of,
the Greenbelt;
• Respecting the functional connections in the Natural Heritage System;
• Valuing the overall objectives of the Greenbelt as a landscape and avoiding a
minimalist approach to defining the Natural Heritage System; and
• Being responsive to landowner requests to evaluate site-specific situations.
32
Report #2017 -COW -33 Page 3 of 7
2.4 Very few requests to be removed from the Greenbelt have been granted, not only in
Durham, but across the GGH. Provincial staff had previously indicated that any
adjustments resulting from this technical review would be minor. As a result of the
Greenbelt Site Specific Review, approximately 96 hectares of land are proposed to
be removed across the entire GGH.
3. Proposed Boundary Changes in Durham
3.1 The small number of proposed minor changes to the Greenbelt boundary within
Durham are intended to:
• Adjust the Greenbelt Area boundary to reflect the Urban Area Boundary that
was already established prior to the creation of the Greenbelt Plan and
therefore allowed to continue (i.e. Existing Urban Area Boundaries); and
• Adjust the Greenbelt Area boundary in response to landowner concerns
about the accuracy of the Greenbelt Area mapping (i.e. Natural Heritage
System).
3.2 Of the approximately 96 hectares proposed to be removed from the Greenbelt
through minor boundary changes, 44.4 hectares (46%) are located within Durham,
as follows:
• Pickering — 20.1 hectares on the east side of the Rouge Park (Attachment 1);
• Whitby — 20 hectares to the southwest of Winchester Road West and
Ashburn Road, including 5200 Ashburn Road, part of 5640 Ashburn Road,
and part of 555 Winchester Road West (Attachment 2); and
• Oshawa — 4.3 hectares to the northwest of Winchester Road East and Ritson
Road North, including part of 2770 and 2830 Ritson Road North (Attachment
3).
Proposed Boundary Changes Related to Existing Urban Area Boundaries (i.e.
Transition Areas)
3.3 The Greenbelt Act, 2005 and Greenbelt Plan contain transition provisions to reflect
applications, matters or proceedings that began before the establishment of the
Greenbelt Plan. As part of the proposed 2016 Greenbelt Plan, the Province released
detailed maps showing proposed adjustments to reflect matters that were already in
a planning process prior to the creation of the Greenbelt Plan and thus allowed to
continue. The proposed changes align with municipal official plans and existing
urban boundaries.
33
Report #2017 -COW -33
Page 4 of 7
3.4 Within Durham, the Province proposed to amend the Greenbelt Area boundary in
Clarington (Bowmanville), were it was mistakenly extended into the existing Urban
Area boundary.
3.5 The proposed 2016 amendments did not correct the Greenbelt Area boundary where
it was mistakenly extended into the existing Pickering Urban Area Boundary, along
the western edge of the City, south of the CPR Rail line. Therefore, Commissioner's
Report #2016 -COW -34 recommended that the Province revise its Greenbelt Plan
mapping in Pickering to reflect the approved Urban Area Boundary in effect since
1993, to avoid any further confusion.
3.6 As a result of that consultation and further analysis, the Province has proposed
boundary changes in Pickering to align with municipal official plans, and more
specifically adhering to the boundary identified as the Rouge National Urban Park
(refer to Attachment 1).
3.7 Pickering staff have indicated that they are satisfied with the proposed
approach, and as a result, the Region has no concerns with the proposed
Greenbelt boundary changes in Pickering.
Proposed Boundary Changes Related to the Natural Heritage System
3.8 Provincial staff reviewed technical information relating to more than 150 requests
across the GGH where the boundary was defined in large part by the NHS. Durham
staff have not been privy to these requests.
3.9 Site-specific requests were reviewed against the original methodology and rationale
used for mapping the NHS when the Greenbelt was created in 2005. The analysis
considered information received from landowners, provincial NHS data, aerial and
Land Information Ontario maps, conservation authority data, and municipal official
plan and NHS data.
3.10 Based on the technical review, the Province has proposed minor changes to the
Greenbelt Area boundary where existing site conditions, guided by the
considerations outlined in Section 2.4 (i.e. maintain a robust NHS, avoid fragmenting
farmland, etc.) form the logical Greenbelt boundary.
3.11 In Whitby, minor amendments are proposed for three properties within the southwest
quadrant of Winchester Road West and Ashburn Road (refer to Attachment 2),
including:
34
Report #2017 -COW -33
• 5200 Ashburn Road;
• Part of 5640 Ashburn Road; and
• Part of 555 Winchester Road West.
Page 5 of 7
3.12 Whitby staff, in consultation with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority (CLOCA), have indicated they have no objections to the proposed
minor boundary amendments. Likewise, the Region has no concerns with the
proposed Greenbelt boundary changes in Whitby.
3.13 In addition, the Province has proposed minor changes to the Greenbelt Area
boundary to recognize situations where existing road infrastructure forms the
functional NHS boundary.
3.14 In Oshawa, these minor amendments impact two properties within the northwest
quadrant of Winchester Road East and Ritson Road North (refer to Attachment 3),
including:
• Part of 2770 Ritson Road North; and
• Part of 2830 Ritson Road North.
3.15 Oshawa staff, in consultation with CLOCA staff, have indicated they have no
objections to the proposed minor boundary amendments. Likewise, the
Region has no concerns with the proposed Greenbelt boundary changes in
Oshawa.
4. General Comments
4.1 With respect to the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary, as
identified in EBR Posting No. 012-9247, the Region has no concerns with the
Provincially proposed site-specific boundary changes in Pickering, Whitby and
Oshawa. However, the Province's approach to responding to site-specific requests is
of some concern for the following reasons:
• The process is limited in scope to those who participated in consultations,
specifically those who proactively made site-specific submissions;
• The criteria by which site-specific submissions were reviewed and analysed
was not fully transparent to all stakeholders; and
• The process by which these site-specific requests have been reviewed was
subject to limited public consultation.

Report #2017 -COW -33
Page 6 of 7
4.2 Despite previous requests by the Region to clarify and establish a process to
consider minor boundary revisions, the Province did not provide a clearly defined
and transparent process. In addition, no specific information or rationale has been
provided on the remainder of the site-specific requests that were received and
subsequently refused by the Province.
5. Conclusion and Next Steps
5.1 In general, there are no concerns with the proposed minor boundary changes in
Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa. However, there are concerns with the limited scope
of the Provincial Greenbelt Site Specific Review process as noted above.
5.2 Following the public review and comment period, the proposed Greenbelt Area
boundary changes are expected to be finalized as part of the completion of the Co-
ordinated Review in early 2017. Regional staff will continue to monitor and report
back to Committee on the progress of Co-ordinated Review.
5.3 Should the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary come into effect,
amendments to the ROP may be necessary. Potential amendments will be reviewed
as part of the next municipal comprehensive review exercise.
5.4 It is recommended that this report be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs
as the Region's response to EBR Posting No. 012-9247 on the Proposed
Amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary, and that a copy be forwarded to
Durham's area municipalities for their information.

2.1 On January 5, 2017, Lindvest Properties (Clarington) Limited submitted an application for
a proposed draft plan of subdivision, Clarington Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-
law amendment to develop a former public elementary school block together with 13
previously draft approved lots as a 50 lot subdivision for single detached dwellings.
2.2 On February 29, 2016, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board notified Lindvest
and the Municipality of its decision to waive their option to retain the subject site for the
development of a public elementary school.
2.3 A planning justification report, urban design brief and functional servicing report have
been submitted in support of the applications.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The subject lands are currently vacant and have been used to stockpile excess soils on a
temporary basis. The lands were previously used for agriculture.
3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North - Draft approved plan of subdivision: Future detached dwelling development
South - Existing single detached dwellings

4. Provincial Policy
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
Page 4
The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy, livable
and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential,
employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs. New
development shall occur adjacent to built-up areas, shall have compact form and a mix of
uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public
services.
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
The Provincial Growth Plan encourages Municipalities to manage growth by directing
population growth to settlement areas, such as the Newcastle Urban Area. Municipalities
are encouraged to create complete communities that offer a mix of land uses,
employment and housing options, high quality open space, and access to stores and
services.
4.3 The development allows for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services
and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan. The
proposed development is part of a neighbourhood where various housing types are to be
accommodated as development progresses. Municipal water and sanitary sewers are
available at the site, transit routes are close by and a neighbourhood park is located on
Grady Drive immediately next to the site.
5. Official Plans
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Areas. Lands
designated as Living Area permit the development of communities incorporating the
widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living
accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. The proposed
development conforms with the Living Area designation.
5.2 Clarington Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands as Urban Residential with a Public
Elementary School symbol. The Proposed subdivision falls within the Foster
Neighbourhood on lands where a housing density of 10 to 30 units per hectare is to be
accommodated. Grady Drive is a collector road with a right-of-way width of 23 metres.
MI
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -012-17
5.3 Clarington Official Plan as Amended by Amendment 107
Page 5
On November 1, 2016, Council adopted the Official Plan Amendment 107 to bring the
Clarington Official Plan into conformity with the Regional Official Plan and provincial
policies. The subject site remains designated Urban Residential however the public
elementary school symbol was removed. As Amendment 107 has not been approved by
the Region of Durham as of the writing of this report, the school symbol remains in place
and therefore a Clarington Official Plan amendment is needed in order for the
applications for proposed draft plan subdivision and rezoning to proceed. The
predominant form of housing for areas internal to neighbourhoods is to be single and
semi-detached dwellings with limited townhouses interspersed.
6. Zoning By-law
Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Urban Residential Exception (R1-42), which
permits only a public school. A rezoning is required to implement the proposed plan of
subdivision.
7. Summary of Background Reports
7.1 Planning Justification Report
A Planning Justification Report prepared by D.G. Biddle and Associates was submitted in
support of the applications. Contrary to the report submitted, a Clarington Official Plan
amendment is needed to allow the subdivision and rezoning applications to proceed prior
to Regional approval of amendment 107. The report concludes that the proposed use of
the subject lands conform to all applicable Provincial, Regional and Clarington planning
policies.
7.2 Urban Design Brief
An Urban Design Brief prepared by D.G. Biddle and Associates was submitted in support
of the applications. The brief provides an architectural context and design goals while
outlining the rationale for the proposed development in terms of the compatibility of built
form, massing, density and lot fabric within the greater neighbourhood.
8. Public Notice and Submissions
The Public Notice of this meeting was given by mail to landowners within 120 metres of
the subject site and details of the application were included in the Planning Services
Department E -update and posted to the municipal website. A Public Notice sign was also
installed on the property's frontage along Grady Drive.
As of writing this report, Staff have received one email submission on these applications.
Concerns expressed centre around the need for an additional public elementary school in
Newcastle as new development is testing the capacity of Newcastle Public School.
Traffic is becoming a concern around Newcastle Public School with more and more
families from the Foster Neighbourhood now attending.

they will be included in a subsequent report.
10. Departmental Comments
10.1 Engineering Services
Comments from Engineering Services have not been received as of the writing of this
report but will be included in a subsequent report.
10.2 Emergency and Fire Services
The Clarington Emergency and Fire Services Department has reviewed the proposed
plan and has no concerns or objections.

Report PSD -012-17 Page 7
11. Discussion
11.1 The subject site was draft approved for a public elementary school. In this case the
school board had attempted to negotiate with the landowner to acquire the lands for an
elementary school. After unsuccessful lengthy negotiations over several years with the
owner, the school board has decided to not to pursue this site. The decision-making
process lies with the local school board; in this case the Kawartha Pine Ridge District
School Board. Students from this neighbourhood attend nearby Newcastle Public School
or St. Francis of Assisi.
11.2 The Municipality of Clarington is not party to the decision-making process for the
construction of schools. As a result of the termination of the option agreement with the
School Board, Lindvest has made applications to develop the site for residential
purposes. Proceeding with residential development on the subject lands is a logical
alternative. The technical details of the applications will continue to be reviewed prior to
the preparation of a subsequent report.
11.3 In addition to the lands that made up the former draft approved school block, the proposal
includes 13 draft approved lots fronting on the south side of Whitehand Drive, abutting
the north side of the school block and part of the park to the walkway connecting the park
to Whitehand Drive.
12. Conclusion
The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the subdivision
proposal submitted by Lindvest Properties (Clarington) Limited for the Public Meeting
under the Planning Act. Staff will continue processing the applications including the
preparation of a subsequent report.
13. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.

Report Overview
Page 2
For zoning applications since 2011, Council pre -authorizes the removal of holding symbols
at such time that staff is satisfied that all conditions are fulfilled. The development industry
have generally found this to be efficient, both from a cost and time perspective. It provides
the best protection to the Municipality to ensure that conditions imposed on a development,
which may not be fully defined at the time of draft approval, are suitably going to be
implemented.
The removal of holding symbol is the last step of approvals in a complicated process of
preparing and finalizing detailed drawings, preparing and reviewing studies, preparing
agreements, arranging for securities and dealing with many agency requirements. It is a very
minor step in the whole process of moving from application to conditional approval to final
approval. The benefit of utilizing holding provisions of the Planning Act outweighs
discontinuing this practice and have a minimal impact on workload.
1. Background
On January 16t", Council asked for a report on whether Holding Symbols, as a condition of
planning approvals, should be discontinued.
2. Previous Streamlining Improvements
2.1 For reference purposes, in December 2011, Report PSD -102-11 (Attachment 2) identified
a number of initiatives to help stream line the planning approval process and address
developer comments. The 2011 Report reviewed how applications for removal of holding
zone could be processed in a more efficient manner. Consideration was given to whether
this matter could be delegated to staff but at the end of the day, a zoning by-law must be
passed.
2.2 The improvements to the removal of holding process made at that time were as follows:
• Council pre -authorizes the removal the holding symbol at the time of original rezoning
provided that staff are satisfied that all the conditions have been met;
No staff report to Planning and Development Committee is required with pre-
authorization. The removal of holding by-law goes directly on the Council agenda
without delay
• No application form needs to be filled out by the applicant and no fee is charged
The development industry have generally found this to be very efficient, both from a cost
and time perspective.
Occasionally, there are still reports coming to the Planning and Development Committee.
These are the result of:
51
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -013-17
Page 3
A holding symbol placed on the property at the time when the original zoning by-law
was adopted or
A holding symbol placed on the property through a rezoning prior to 2011 without pre-
authorization for removal.
In the case of the January 6, 2017 Planning Report PSD -05-17 that generated the request
for this report, 1494339 Ontario Limited (The Foley Group) purchased a parcel that was
zoned with a holding symbol in 1984 and no pre -authorization for removal had been
granted by Council. There is simply no way around this.
3. Purpose of Holding Symbols
3.1 Municipalities can pass a zoning by-law with a holding symbol (H). This optional,
commonly used tool, restricts the future uses on that property until certain conditions are
met. The use of holding symbols must be supported by policies in Official Plans.
3.2 The Clarington Official Plan contains policies outlining what matters the Municipality may
wish to ensure are addressed through the use of holding provisions prior to development
or redevelopment of land. This includes:
• The extension of services and municipal works including roads;
• Detailing of specific measures to protect natural areas;
• Detailing of specific measures to mitigate the impact of development;
• Submission of technical studies;
• Meeting the Plan's policies with regard to Waste Disposal Assessment Areas;
• Entering into development agreements; and/or
• Any other requirements as may be deemed necessary by the Municipality including
the implementation of the policies of this Plan.
3.3 It has been our practice to use holding symbols as it best protects the Municipality's
interests, providing a mechanism to ensure all the developers obligations have been met
prior to issuing a building permit. This includes:
• the transfer of lands for roads, road widenings, parkland or open space;
• all financial obligations whether securities for work to be completed, payments to the
Municipality, or collection of funds related to front-end agreements; and
works required to support the development as identified through Environmental
Impact Studies, Traffic Impact Studies or other supporting documents. This would
include compensation work for destroyed habitat.
52
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -013-17
4. Benefits of Using Holding Provisions
4.1 There are the following benefits for using holding provisions:
Page 4
• Provides the most effective control for the Municipality. The primary use of
holding symbols is to ensure that the conditional requirements of an approval are
completed to the satisfaction of the various agencies and the Municipality. This
includes ensuring that servicing and road infrastructure is available and that the
development is not premature.
Provides the most effective enforcement mechanism. Zoning conveys certain
rights to landowners. The Chief Building Official must issue building permits if all
"applicable law" is met. In the case of site plan, that includes approval of the drawings
but not the execution of an agreement. For plans of subdivision it includes registration
of the plan to create the lots, but not other processes, such as approval of engineering
drawings. It is more difficult to address and enforce compliance issues after the fact
through site plan and subdivision provisions.
Provides for the efficient completion of the planning approvals. Related to the
above point, if holding symbols were not used, staff would be forced to be very
conservative and sequential in final approvals. At the present time, we can allow a
number of processes to proceed simultaneously to ensure that construction can start
as soon as possible. For example, we can give final approval, allowing the registration
of the plan of subdivision without waiting for all of the securities, grading deposits, the
execution of agreements (which includes the mortgagees) or other final steps, with the
knowledge that the holding symbol protects the Municipality from development
proceeding prematurely.
Provides a mechanism to address environmental issues. It has been helpful to
address certain environmental issues. For example, the Northglen subdivision
contained lands adjacent to Abe's Auto recycling facility. The plan of subdivision could
be registered creating lots but the holding symbol will remain on certain lots until the
industrial use ceases.
It can allow for staging of development and thereby minimizing financial costs
for the developer that may be required otherwise. For a site plan, financial costs
heavily loaded at the front end. In addition to development charges, cash -in -lieu of
parkland and fees to agencies, the Municipality requires performance guarantees.
Landscaping costs are significant for a large site plan. In the instance of The Villas of
McLaughlin Heights by Halminen Homes, there were nine buildings. The holding
symbol was removed on three buildings at a time, allowing the developer to provide
only one third of the landscaping security at a time. This allowed the developer to
manage cash flow in a phased project and still secure a performance guarantee for the
Municipality.
53
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -013-17
Page 5
Can be applied for use -specific basis when there are potential uses that need
more detailed study. In a commercial project, the zoning provided may allow for a
wide array of uses, which may or may not ever be tenanted. Some of those uses may
have use -specific impacts that the Municipality may want more detailed information on
prior to allowing. As an example, a bar or fast food restaurant could be one of the
permitted uses in a commercially -zoned property but holding symbol could be used to
require noise or traffic studies be completed prior to lift the holding symbol for that
specific purpose. All other commercial uses could be permitted. Although we have not
used it for this purpose, it may become considered with higher density infill
redevelopment or neighbourhood commercial centres.
5. Potential Concerns with Using Holding Symbols
5.1 There are three potential concerns for using holding symbols:
• Delay of Project Commencement
There has been concern raised that the requirement to remove holding symbols can
delay a project. This was somewhat of a concern in the context of preparing a report
to Planning Committee which could delay a project due to the reporting cycle. As noted
above, this was previously addressed in the changes made in 2011 to minimize the
time required through pre -authorization of the removal of the holding symbol.
Moreover, the finalization of a project is a complex process. As noted above, the
removal of the holding symbol does not have to proceed sequentially. Provided that
the key elements that protect the Municipality's interest (agreement, securities, etc.)
there are some steps that could occur simultaneously. This includes registration of
agreements, registration of the draft plan of subdivision. Furthermore, there are "relief
valves" if there is any timing problem. This includes permission for site preparation
work and conditional building permits.
It should be noted that the removal of the holding symbol is one planning applications
that does not require a notice to neighbouring land owners or interested parties, and
there is no appeal process except for the applicant.
• Cost
Previously some developer raised concerns about the cost of filing an application in
terms of their consultant's time and the municipal processing fees. The current
application fee for removal of a holding symbol is $2,420, if an application is required.
The previous changes in 2011 no longer require a landowner to make a separate
application to remove a holding by-law, if it was pre -authorized at the time of putting
the holding symbol on the property.
54
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -013-17
• Workload
Page 6
The last point of concern, referenced is the discussion leading to the request for this
report, was that eliminating the use of holding provisions would free up staff time.
Preparing the by-law is a straightforward task and in comparison to all the other steps
in moving from a draft or conditional approval to a final approval, it is a very minor task.
Over the last three years, there has been an average of 12 zoning by-laws annually for
the removal of holding symbols. The work required to produce a by-law to lift the
holding symbol is very minor and mostly the task of a GIS technician, not a planner. In
comparison to the benefits noted above, the workload is not significant.
6. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
7. Conclusion
Staff was requested to review the use of the "Holding" symbol in the rezoning process.
The premise given for the review was that with the pending request for additional
planning staff, this would be one way to reduce the workload. As noted above, the
revisions undertaken 5 years ago have reduced the reporting requirements. Any reports
to remove holding symbols that do come to Committee at this time are for lands that were
zoned with a holding symbol generally prior to that time.
The time required to prepare the actual by-laws to remove holding symbols is not
significant in comparison to all of the work relating to the review of the detailed drawings
and studies, the clearing the conditions, preparing agreements, obtaining financial
securities and addressing the many details of a development process.
There may be some situations where the placing of a holding symbol is not absolutely
necessary. We will consider this on a case by case basis.
8. Strategic Plan Application
Not applicable.

The Planning Services Department seeks to continuously improve or enhance
customer service. To this end, in 2010, we established a Process Improvement
Team (PIT) of front line staff to examine ways to improve our communication with
clients as well as internal processes. One, of many ideas advanced by the PIT is
to look to the delegation of part -lot control applications to staff.
The Municipality's "Community Strategic Plan: 2011-2014" established a
strategy, 2.5 to "undertake a review of municipal processes and regulations to
streamline the Municipality's processes". This is an initiative to begin in 2012
with additional staff resources.
There are some functions that staff undertake on behalf of Council under existing
delegations or/and processes. As an interim step in reviewing municipal
processes, this report examines some additional functions that could be
delegated to staff which would aid in improving workflow, and timely response to
clients.
The initial objective was to seek delegation to approve by-laws to lift part lot
control and by-laws for the removal of holding symbols in the Zoning By-law.
Unfortunately, for reasons explained later in this report, at present the ability to
approve by-laws, even for routine matters, cannot be implemented by delegation
to staff.
2. CHANGES TO THE MUNICIPAL ACT
For many years, Sections 41(13)(b) and 51.2(1) of the Planning Act, have
enabled Council to delegate, by by-law, much of its authority with respect to site
plan control and plan of subdivision approvals to an appointed officer of the
Municipality.
In 2006, the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006 (Bill 130) amended the
Municipal Act, 2001 to provide municipal councils with enhanced opportunity to
delegate routine administrative matters. The intent of the amendment was to help
create an effective and efficient governance structure that enables Councils to
focus on their priorities.
Sections 23.1 to 23.5 of the Municipal Act, 2001 enable municipalities to delegate
certain Council responsibilities to:
One or more Councillors or a Council Committee;
A body having at least two members of whom at least 50 percent are
Councillors, individuals appointed by Council, or a combination of
Councillors or individuals approved by Council; and
An individual who is an officer, employee or agent of the Municipality.
59
.: .9 a WIT,63K.J. 9 1
FXT041112,
When considering delegating any of its authority to an individual, the Municipal
Act requires that Council be satisfied that the power being delegated is of a minor
nature having regard for the number of people, the size of geographic area and
the time period affected by an exercise of the power. Additionally, Section
270(1)6 of the Municipal Act requires the Municipality to adopt and maintain
policies with respect to the delegation of its powers and duties.
With respect to Council powers and duties related to applications made under the
Planning Act, the Municipal Act clarifies that Council does not have the ability to
delegate its power to:
• adopt an Official Plan
• adopt an Official Plan Amendment
• pass a Zoning By-law, or
• adopt a Community Improvement Plan if the plan contains certain
financial decision-making provisions.
In accordance with Section 5(3) of the Municipal Act, any Council delegation of
authority must be effected by by-law.
Where a power is delegated, the power is deemed to be delegated subject to any
limits on the power and to any procedural requirements, including conditions,
approvals and appeals which apply to the power and any duties related to the
power are deemed to be delegated with the power.
3. CURRENT DELEGATED FUNCTIONS
Over the years, Council has delegated certain functions to the Director of
Planning Services or to the Director of Planning Services and the Director of
Engineering Services concurrently.
3.1 Site Plan Approval
The Director of Planning Services and the Director of Engineering Services have
been delegated the power to approve site plan drawings and impose conditions
of site plan approval. The Site Plan Control By-law also authorizes the Mayor
and Clerk to execute any agreements that may be required to implement the
approval.
3.2 Plans of Subdivision and Plans of Condominium
By-law 2001-072 delegates all of Council's powers under Section 51 of the
Planning Act to the Director of Planning Services. This includes the power to
approve draft plans of subdivision, amend conditions of approval of plans of
subdivision, and approve final plans of subdivision for registration. This similarly
applies to plans of condominium.
. .s. 0 . 9 1
3.3 Consent Agreements
By-law 92-43 authorizes the Mayor and Clerk to execute agreements required as
a condition of a consent to sever land under Section 53 of the Planning Act. Staff
issue comments with respect the Municipality's position on applications to the
Durham Region Land Division Committee.
3.4 Complete Applications
Council delegated to the Director of Planning Services the authority to deem
applications made under the Planning Act as "complete" with the enactment of
By-law 2007-131. This was the result of the more recent changes to the
Planning Act to ensure that when applications are made, there is all of the
required information available at that time for the Municipality to be able to
undertake its review within the prescribed timeframes.
3.5 Community Improvement Plan(CIP) Grants
The Community Improvement Plans for Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville
include grant programs. The approved CIPs delegate to the Director of Planning
Services or designate the final decision regarding eligibility for funding, approval
of funding or withdrawal of funding in the event of certain circumstances. The
Director has authority to execute agreements for the grants within parameters set
in the CIP Project Plan and the current year's capital budget approved by
Council. The largest possible grant is $10,000 for one of the programs and a
maximum of $50,000 for a property, utilizing various programs (facade
improvement, signage improvement, building code upgrades, planning and
building fees, etc.).
3.6 Minor Heritage Permits
The Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District Plan identifies activities that
require a heritage permit, in addition to any other municipal approvals (e.g.
building permit). By-law 2006-102 delegates that approval of Minor Heritage
Permits to the Director of Planning Services for approval.
4. PROPOSED ADDITIONAL DELEGATED FUNCTIONS
4.1 Exemation from Part Lot Control
Section 50(5) of the Planning Act generally prohibits land within a registered plan
of subdivision from being further subdivided and conveyed. This is referred to as
part lot control. Exempting land from part lot control generally occurs where a
plan of subdivision has been draft approved and registered with blocks for
freehold multiple dwellings or semi-detached dwellings. In these instances, it is
appropriate to determine the lot line between the units once the building
foundation has been poured and/or walls erected. Lot lines are established in
accordance with the as -built common walls. Approval of a by-law to exempt
lands from part lot control is required by the developer prior to the closing of a
house sale.
194-1
REPORT NO.: PSD -102-11
PAGE 6
This is a routine administrative function. At the point that the lifting of part lot
control is considered, Council through a public process would have previously
authorized the draft approval of the plan of subdivision and amended the Zoning
By-law for the proposed use.
From a customer service perspective, we occasionally have problems if
developers have not submitted their applications in a timely manner or may not
have realized that the lifting of part lot control has expired. There are times when
this would create a hardship for the home purchaser, particularly during the
summer recess when Council cannot approve a by-law to exempt certain lands
from part lot control.
This is an appropriate power for delegation. However, when Bill 130 was
enacted to allow for greater delegation of powers, it would seem that
corresponding changes to other sections of the Municipal Act to implement this
were overlooked. Section 249 of the act provides that every by-law "shall be
signed by the clerk and by the head of council or presiding officer at the meeting
at which the by-law was passed."
Thus while it is concluded that the power to pass a by-law may be delegated to a
committee or individual, the procedures outlined in the Municipal Act do not
provide a means to implement this.
It is recommended that the Director of Planning be delegated the authority
to approve a part lot control application but the by-law itself would still
have to be enacted by Council.
The Clerk has indicated that she is prepared to recommend an amendment
to Section 7.11.1 of the Procedural By-law which would allow for the by-law
to be presented to Council based on the Director's approval of the Part Lot
Control application, without the matter first being considered by Council or
GPA.
This amendment has the potential of slightly expediting the process during
the timeframe when Council is meeting and reducing staff time in report
writing; however, it does not address the issue of Part Lot Control approval
during summer recess. If Council agrees with delegating the approval of
the application to the Director, Council would not be able to debate the
merits of the application but would simply enact the by-law.
4.2 Condominiums that do not Require a Public Meeting
There are six types of condominiums:
• Leasehold — a form of ownership where a unit is owned by the occupant
while the condominium corporation can lease the land and a third party
can retain ownership in the land.
62
. awoTZT T e �l
• Vacant Land — a plan of condominium where the common elements and
units are created but no buildings or structures have been constructed at
the time of registration of the condominium plan. This works like a small
subdivision where the road and other common elements are established
but each owner has flexibility to choose their own building design.
• Common Elements — a plan of condominium where the condo corporation
retains ownership of the common elements portion of the condominium
(such as internal roads, greenspace, visitor parking and garbage collection
areas). The owner's enjoy freehold ownership of their house but have
common interest with other owners for the common elements.
• Standard — the traditional condominium where the title of a unit is held
together by a share in the rest of the property, which is common to all.
Usually, condominium ownership begins with the interior wall of the unit.
• Phased — a condominium where it is developed in phases, allowing for the
sale of units while other areas of the development are still under
development.
• Conversion from Rental to Condominium Status — this situation is a
variation of a standard condominium which occurs for an existing building
which is currently occupied on a rental basis but is converted to
condominium tenure.
In Clarington, to date we have had only standard condominiums and more
recently common elements condominiums. Since condominium applications are
about the tenure of a building or buildings, in most cases the principle of
development has been previously determined by Council. For example, a high
density block in a plan of subdivision was approved for apartment buildings but
did not bind the proponent to rental or condominium tenure.
Only Vacant Land Condominiums and Common Elements Condominiums are
required to have public meetings, since they divide land into parcels for freehold
ownership, much like a plan of subdivision.
It should be noted that with the shortage of rental housing in Durham, there are
policies in the Regional and Clarington Official Plan with respect to the conditions
which would allow for a condominium conversion. We would also hold public
meetings for conversions of rental housing to condominium tenure.
Council previously delegated approval of plans of condominium. We have
traditionally brought all condominium applications to Council for review prior to
the Director's approval. In most cases, the project will have already received site
plan approval under delegated authority and the building is likely fully or partially
constructed at that point. We are seeking to amend procedures and the
delegation so Planning would only report to Council on a condominium
application where a public meeting is required.
63
It is recommended that the Delegation By-law clarify that the Director of
Planning Services be authorized to approve plans of condominium that do
not require a public meeting, subject to reporting to Council periodically.
4.3 Execution of Agreements
At the present time, the Site Plan Control By-law authorizes the Mayor and Clerk
to execute agreements related to site plan approval under Section 41 of the
Planning Act. In addition, Council by by-law authorized the Mayor and Clerk to
execute any agreement required with respect to a Land Division application
approved by the Regional Land Division Committee.
In all other cases, the staff report dealing with planning applications such as a
plan of subdivision or plan of condominium, or in the rare case rezoning, the
execution of an agreement would have to be authorized by Council through a
recommendation in a report.
It is recommended that the execution of agreements imposed or required in
satisfaction of any condition of approval under the Planning Act in
connection with the development of land including plans of subdivision,
plans of condominium, land division, exemption from part lot control, site
plans and rezoning be delegated to the Director of Planning Services and
the Clerk subject to the agreements being in a form as approved by the
Municipal Solicitor.
In addition to executing agreements, there may be the occasional time when a
development application is approved; agreements are executed and registered
against title but the development does not proceed. In this circumstance, a
subsequent owner may want a release from the agreement that is registered on
title. This may or may not be done in the context of a new application. It is a
very rare circumstance but in this circumstance, if Council determines to grant
authority to the Planning Services Director and the Clerk to execute agreements,
it would be appropriate to also delegate authority to release a subsequent owner.
It is recommended that the Director of Planning Services be delegated the
authority to grant a release from an agreement that has been executed in
connection with the development of land where the application is no longer
proceeding. The release would be in a form approved by the Municipal
Solicitor.
4.4 Closing Inactive or Dormant Development Applications
For various circumstances, the occasional development proponent does not
actively pursue the approval of applications by addressing issues raised in the
circulation and review.
• A
14:10613
. __. •
PAGE 9
Where Council hold a public meeting, the application is referred back to staff to
continue processing. Our practice has been that when Council has made this
type of resolution, Planning Staff will report back to have the application refused
and the file closed. For site plan applications, which have been delegated,
Planning Staff will close files when the applicant no longer is pursuing the
application. The Director of Planning Services has also been delegated functions
that enable the closing of subdivision files. However, most subdivision files also
have related rezoning application and our practice has been to report to Council
to close these files.
It is recommended that the Director of Planning Services be delegated the
authority to refuse a planning application where the file has remained
inactive for more than one (1) year and only after the applicant has been
given written notice that the application will be refused and given 60 days
to respond. In a circumstance where the applicant does not agree with the
decision to refuse the application and close the file, staff may still report to
Council to consider closing a file which is dormant.
4.5 Sign By-law Amendments
The current By-law 2009-123 does not provide opportunity for administrative
variances to signs. Under separate report (PSD -103-11), it is proposed that the
Sign By-law be amended to provide for limited administrative variances without
seeking amendments to the By-law.
5. PROPOSED PROCEDURAL CHANGES
5.1 Removal of a Holding Symbol
In many instances, when a property is rezoned, a Holding Symbol "H" will be
placed on the zone to prevent development on the site until conditions of draft
plan approval for a subdivision have been satisfied or conditions of site plan
approval have been negotiated and an agreement entered into. There may be
additional considerations for the lifting of the H symbol as well, as determined by
the Official Plan policy.
In many circumstances, the lifting of the Holding Symbol could be considered a
routine matter, particularly where Council has previously considered a site-
specific application. That is not to say that in all cases the lifting of a Holding
Symbol can be considered a routine matter. For example, there could be a
property that has a long standing holding symbol on it from the time of the
adoption of the Zoning By-law. Council may never have considered a
development application through the rezoning or subdivision process.
In considering the lifting of the holding symbol, there is no requirement for public
notice, except to the applicant. There is no public meeting and the zone
provisions and performance standards are established. Lastly there is no
opportunity for a member of the public to appeal the approval of a by-law for
removal of a holding symbol.
65
1-:14W91:41Vloilo
2Tc]n
Indeed Council may have limited discretion available to deny an application.
However, an amendment to a Zoning By-law to lift the holding symbol remains a
legislative action because of its underlying effect. This is reflected in Section
23.3(1) of the Municipal Act which provides certain restrictions on delegation
including restrictions on the power to pass a Zoning By-law. Since the lifting of
the holding symbol is a Zoning By-law, it has been determined that this power
cannot be delegated to staff.
Although the problem we sought to address cannot be dealt with through
delegation, it could be somewhat mitigated with a change to Council's
procedures. It is recommended that the Procedural By-law be changed to
permit Planning Staff Reports for the lifting of a holding symbol to be
submitted directly to Council, without first going to the GPA Committee.
This would be for urgent circumstances as determined by the Director of
Planning, particularly before the summer and Christmas recess improve
efficiency. Even with regularly scheduled meetings, this could mean a
difference of up to three weeks, which is substantial in the construction
season.
5.2 Reportinq on Minor Variance Applications
Our current practice is to report on the decisions of the Committee of Adjustment
at the next possible meeting of the General Purpose and Administration
Committee. Our reports outline not only the decision but go into some detail to
explain the reasons for the recommendation, the consideration of the Committee
and the variance from the recommendations of staff, if any.
Our reports also request that Council concur with the decision of the Committee
of Adjustment and authorize staff to support the decision where if conforms with
the recommendation of staff. The report may also recommend that an appeal be
filed.
In certain circumstances, such as during Christmas or summer recess or due to
the scheduling of meetings, the deadline for filing an appeal may be in advance
of a Council meeting. Staff may initiate an appeal and subsequently seek
Council's confirmation. Staff would continue with the appeal or withdraw it
depending on Council's direction.
Over the last 5 years, there have been 6 appeals of the decisions of the
Committee of Adjustment; there have been a total of 293 decisions. Council has
initiated 3 of these appeals on staff's recommendation and the applicant or third
parties have initiated 3 appeals. This is an average of 1.2 appeals a year, yet we
report to Committee approximately 13 times a year for concurrence of the
Committee's decision to authorize a municipal position in the event of an OMB
hearing.
. •
T�7i7 �r�■ 1+'��GY�fi1
For the most part, the scheduling of the hearing before the Ontario Municipal
Board takes some time, usually around 4-6 months from the filing of the appeal.
Staff time preparing reports to GPA Committee could be minimized if it was done
on a periodic basis. It would appear that reporting three times a year would be
suitable. Staff would initiate any appeals that were deemed important and upon
consideration of the periodic report, Council could confirm or withdraw the
appeal. This would be similar to the process now used for the summer recess.
Any applicant or third party appeals could be addressed in the report and
Council's concurrence with the decision of the Committee of Adjustment would
be obtained at the time of the periodic report.
There is the remote possibility that Council may wish to appeal a decision which
staff had not recommended. However, we can remember no occasion where
Council has even discussed this possibility let alone initiate such an appeal of the
Committee's decision. Every municipal appeal has been the result of a staff
recommendation.
It is recommended that staff report on the activities of the Committee of
Adjustment periodically with the understanding that staff would initiate any
appeal deemed necessary and report to obtain Council's concurrence in
the periodic report.
6. CONCURRENCE:
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Clerk and Municipal Solicitor who
concur with the recommendations.
7. CONCLUSION
The 2006 amendments to the Municipal Act provided for enhanced opportunities
for municipal councils to delegate more routine matters to Committees or
individuals. In addition, the Planning Act has provided for delegations of a
number of powers to staff.
After reviewing potential improvements to enhance customer service, the
delegations and procedural changes proposed within this report provide for the
opportunity to streamline some processes and reduce staff time spent preparing
reports to Council on routine matters.
It should be noted that not all delegated functions are included within the
attached by-law. The subdivision delegation by-law, the site plan control by-law
would remain in force as is, in part because they address other matters or are
known by the Land Registrar. The sign by-law would contain delegation
provisions if Council approves Report PSD -103-11

and regional policies. Delegated Provincial Plan Review Responsibilities were addressed
through the previous related subdivision approval process except regarding noise
impacting the development. A noise impact study must be completed to the Region's and
Clarington's satisfaction. The study's recommendations must be implemented through
the development agreement for this common elements plan of condominium. The
provision of Regional Municipality of Durham services has been dealt with through the
Regional Subdivision Agreement and relevant Regional by-laws. The Region has two
conditions of draft approval, found in Attachment 1.

9. Discussion
9.1 The proposed Draft Plan of Condominium will establish a common elements
condominium for the private street (named Ferris Square); parkette and two amenity
areas; 20 visitor parking spaces; water meter room; sidewalk; and landscaped areas
(Figure 2). Each townhouse unit and surrounding parcel of tied land (P.o.T.L.) will
eventually be freehold, meaning each townhouse unit can be bought and sold
individually, while having a shared common interest in the above-mentioned common
elements.
9.2 The subject lands and surrounding lands were previously considered under planning
applications with public meetings. The townhouse development was also subject to site
plan approval, including the taking of appropriate securities through the registered site
plan development agreement. The conditions of draft approval requested by Durham
Region are included in Conditions of Draft Approval for the Plan of condominium
contained in Attachment 1.
9.3 The principle of the development has been established through previous development
approval processes, including an Official Plan Amendment, a Zoning By-law Amendment,
a Plan of Subdivision and a Site Plan Approval Application. All of these applications were
submitted, reviewed and approved in accordance with Planning Act requirements
including applicable statutory public meetings.
9.4 Section 9(7) if the Condominium Act provides the Municipality the authority to grant an
exemption of the condominium application from the public notice provisions of Section 51
of the Planning Act. In essence, the requirement to hold a public meeting, can be waived.
In consideration of the previous public consultation process and approvals following the
requirements of the Planning Act, it is recommended that the Municipality exercise its
option to exempt the proposed draft plan of condominium from the public meeting
provisions of Section 51 of the Planning Act.
10. Concurrence
Not Applicable
11. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the application for a proposed Draft Plan of
Condominium be exempt from the public meeting provisions of Section 51 of the Planning
Act and that the application be supported. The Director of Planning Services will
subsequently issue Draft Approval for the Plan of Condominium subject to the Conditions
of Draft Approval, substantially in the form of those outlined in Attachment No. 1. An
amendment to the Site Plan Development Agreement will be prepared if any of the Draft
Approval Conditions requires inclusion in a registered legal agreement.

Report Overview
Page 2
On December 5, 2016 Planning staff recommended approval of a 19 unit draft plan of
subdivision (eight singles and 11 townhouses) subject to increasing the lot frontage of the
townhouse units to 7.0 metre minimum. The applicant has since revised the plan by removing
the townhouse blocks. The plan now proposes 17 single detached dwellings.
This Addendum Report to PSD -070-16 recommends approval of revised applications by
2399263 Ontario Limited (Matanda Homes) to create a residential plan of subdivision.
The revised proposed plan no longer includes townhouse units, and the applicant withdrew the
application to amend the South West Courtice Secondary Plan for medium density units.
Attached to this report are revised conditions of draft approval and a revised zoning by-law
amendment to permit the 17 unit draft plan of subdivision.
1. Background
1.1 The original submission for the subject applications included a draft plan of subdivision
creating eight single detached lots along Frank Wheeler Avenue and two blocks for 13
street townhouse units along Gord Vinson Avenue, totalling 21 units.
1.2 Report PSD -070-16 recommended approval of the applications subject to increasing
the lot frontage of the townhouse units from 6 metres to 7 metres consistent with
Council policy to accommodate on street parking according with municipal standards.
This revision reduced the townhouse units from 13 to 11, for a total of 19 units. The
applicant did not agree with the proposed redline revisions.
1.3 At the Planning and Development Committee meeting on December 5, 2016, the
applicant requested the application be Tabled to January 9, 2017.
1.4 On December 19, 2016, Planning Staff received a revised draft plan of subdivision for
17 single detached dwellings. The plan replaces the townhouse blocks along Gord
Vinson Avenue with single detached dwellings on lots with 9.3 metre frontage (see
Figure 1 - Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision).
1.5 At the January 9t" Planning and Development Committee, the applicant requested that
the report be referred back to staff to allow for consideration of the revised plan.
1.6 The proposed change reduces unit yield by two units. The revised proposal is
comprised of all single detached lots as follows:
• Eight lots with 10.48 metre frontages on Frank Wheeler Avenue; and
• Nine lots with 9.3 metre frontages on Gord Vinson Avenue.

The revisions have minor impact to the original recommendations of PSD -070-16 and
resolve the parking concerns.
2.1 Density
By removing the townhouse product and replacing with single detached units, density
is slightly reduced and the Official Plan Amendment is no longer required. The 17 unit
plan generates a density of 30 units per unit hectare. Both the proposed lots on Gord
Vinson Avenue and Frank Wheeler Avenue are considered small lot singles, being
generally equivalent to a linked dwelling lot with a reduced setback on one side.
Municipality of Clarington
Addendum to Report PSD -070-16
2.2 On -street Parking
Page 4
Recommending the increase in townhouse lot width from 6 metres to 7 metres
ensured the development would have adequate on -street parking. This is fully
discussed in Report PSD -070-16. Replacing the townhouse units with single detached
dwellings will result in three off-street parking spaces per lot: one parking space in the
garage and two outdoor spaces. In addition, there will be one on -street parking space
for every four single detached units. Overall there will be more parking available for
less units.
To accommodate on -street parking, each driveway will be 4.6 metres wide and paired
together with a neighbouring driveway. The 4.6 metres width is wide enough to
accommodate two private outdoor parking spaces, but also narrow enough at the curb
to provide for an adequate parking space along the street.
2.3 Grading
Clarington Engineering Services received and accepted a revised grading plan in
support of the revised plan. Some grading is necessary on adjacent lands to the east
in an effort to eliminate the need for retaining walls. The applicant received permission
from the adjacent landowner's to grade on their property.
Final grading and coordination with the adjacent landowner will be resolved during the
detailed design stage of the subdivision.
3. Concurrence
Not applicable.
4. Conclusion
As the amendment to the South West Courtice Secondary plan is no longer required
based on the removal of the medium density units, Staff agrees with the request to
close the Official Plan Amendment file.
The revised draft plan of subdivision is acceptable. Revised conditions are included as
Attachment 2 to this Addendum Report. An additional condition was inserted to ensure
driveways are paired to protect future on street parking spaces. The applicant concurs
with the revised conditions of Draft Approval.
A revised Zoning By-law Amendment is contained in Attachment 3. The amendment
places lands in the existing R2-76 zone permitting the 9 metre single detached units
fronting on Gord Vinson Avenue.
The zones applied reflect current standards seen in newer subdivisions with respect to
lot coverage and setbacks, and allow for a built form that is consistent with the
surrounding neighbourhood.

4. Provincial Policy
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of
growth. Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that
efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure.
Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification must be promoted.
Municipalities must provide a variety of housing types and densities, and a
range of housing options that are affordable to the area residents.
Healthy and active communities should be promoted by planning public streets
to be safe, meet the needs of pedestrians, foster social interaction and facilitate
active transportation and community connectivity. Compact and diverse
developments promote active modes of transportation such as walking and
cycling.
The applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
The subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and
employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of
new growth to the built up areas through intensification and efficient use of
existing services and infrastructure. The development of complete communities is
encouraged by promoting a diverse mixof land uses, a mix of employment and
housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and
services. New transit -supportive and pedestrian -friendly developments will be
concentrated along existing and future transit routes. The Growth Plan
establishes minimum targets for residential development occurring annuallywithin
each upper tier municipality to be within the built up area.
The applications conform to the principles of the Growth Plan.

Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -070-16
5. Official Plans
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
Page 6
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands Living Area.
Lands within the Living Area designation shall be used predominantly for housing
purposes incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes, and
tenure. Living Areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher
densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas.
The Durham Regional Official Plan requires a minimum intensification target of
32%for lands within the built boundary in Clarington.
The applications conform to the Durham Regional Official Plan.
5.2 Clarington Official Plan
The lands are designated Urban Residential. Urban Residential lands are
predominately intended for housing purposes. Gord Vinson Avenue and Frank
Wheeler Avenue are local streets.
The proposed subdivision falls within the Bayview neighbourhood which has a
housing target of 1250 low, 300 medium, and 125 high-density housing units, in
addition to50 intensification units, for a total of 1,725 units by the year2016.
The Urban Residential designation permits a density of between 10 and 30 units
per hectare, and does not identify townhouse units as the predominant built
form. The applicant requested a Clarington Official Plan Amendment to allow
Medium Density development with the introduction of townhouse units and a
development with a density of 38 units per hectare.
5.3 Clarington Official Plan as Amended by Amendment 107
On November 1, 2016, Council adopted the Official Plan Amendment 107 to
bring the Clarington Official Plan into conformity with the Regional Official Plan
and provincial policies.
The direction for neighbourhood planning differs from the previous low, medium
and high density residential framework. The amended Clarington Official Plan
establishes urban structure typologies and built form directives for Centres,
Corridors, Transportation Hubs, Waterfront Places, Edge of Neighbourhoods,
Along Arterial Roads and Internal to Neighbourhoods. The subject lands are
considered to be "Internal to Neighbourhood". Limited townhouse units are
permitted with a maximum height of three storeys. Proposals for multi -unit
residential must consider appropriateness of the site, compatibility, provision of
suitable access points, traffic and parking impacts, massing and urban design
policies.

The South West Courtice Secondary Plan currently designates the land Low
Density Residential. The proposed Amendment to the Secondary Plan would
redesignate a portion of the lands as Medium Density Designation to permit the
requested townhouse units.
6. Zoning By-law
Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Agricultural (A) Zone. Zoning By-
law84-63 does not have a future development zone and the Agricultural (A) Zone
is often used for that purpose on lands within the urban areas. The proposed
rezoning would place lands in residential zones that would permit single detached
and street townhouse units.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 Planning Justification Report prepared by KLM Planning Partners Inc., June
2016
The report provides an analysis of the development's conformity to Provincial,
Regional and Clarington Official Plan land use planning policies.
The Official Plan Amendment is required to place lands in a medium density
designation given built form and density. An analysis of population and housing
targets in the neighbourhood was completed and the introduction of 13 street
townhouse units is modest and appropriate.
The development was reviewed against the policies for medium density
development and was found to be suitable in size and shape to accommodate the
proposed density and built form. The development provides for adequate off-site
parking and suitable amenity space is provided in rear yards. The Official Plan
polices limit the number of townhouse units to generally not more than six attached
units. The report identifies that because there is no development across the street
and adequate on -street parking can be accommodated that the one block of seven
townhouse units is appropriate.
The report attached a draft Official Plan Amendment and a draft Zoning By-law
amendment for consideration.
The report finds that the development conforms to applicable land use planning
policies and makes use of existing infrastructure, transit and public facilities. The
development is consistent and compatible with neighbouring development and
provides a density and built form that contributes to the completion of the
neighbourhood.

9. Agency Comments
9.1 Regional Municipality of Durham
Page 9
Regional Planning has no objection to the applications. The applications were
found to conform to the Growth Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement and the
Durham Regional Official Plan. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is exempt
from Regional approval.
Regional Works identified that sanitary and water services are available to
accommodate these proposed lots. The development does not present any
significant Regional transportation or transit impacts.
Regional conditions were provided and included in the proposed Conditions of
Draft Approval included as Attachment 3.
9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
The Conservation Authority has no objections to the proposal and provided
technical comments to the applicant regarding grading and stormwater
managementthat must be addressed. The Conservation Authority also provided
standard conditions of approval.
9.3 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
Students from this development would attend Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public
School, Courtice Intermediate and Courtice Secondary School. Board staff
request that consideration be given to sidewalk connections and pedestrian
routes to allowsafe access for students to Dr. G.J. MacGillivray.
9.4 Other Agencies
Enbridge Gas, Canada Post and Rogers have no objections to the applications.
10. Departmental Comments
10.1 Engineering Services
The applicant has submitted a Functional Servicing Report in support of this
application which addresses grading, servicing and stormwater management for
this proposed development. During the detailed design stage, the grading of the
site should eliminate proposed retaining walls along the east limit of the
development. Every effort must be made to preserve the trees along the east
boundary of the proposed development.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -070-16
Page 10
The Robinson Ridge and Huntington subdivisions were developed and services
constructed anticipating development of these lands. The existing road network
on Gord Vinson Avenue can support the two townhouse blocks, and Frank
Wheeler Avenue can support eight single family dwellings without requiring any
road improvements in thearea.
Additional technical considerations would be part of the detailed review of the
subdivision such as site alteration, construction traffic routes (to be limited to
Gord Vinson Avenue), service connections, road restoration and driveway
alignment to accommodate on -street parking.
A cash -in -lieu of parkland payment would be required as a condition of approval.
A former municipal road allowance is included within the limits of the draft plan of
subdivision. This unopened road allowance was conveyed subsequent to
approval of recommendations contained in the Legal Service Department Report
LGL -002-16.
10.2 Emergency and Fire Services
No concerns.
10.3 Operations Department
Operations has provided comments regarding necessary streetlighting upgrades
along Gord Vinson Avenue. The subdivision agreement would require provisions
relating to protection measures for mud tracking on municipal streets.
11. Discussion
11.1 This small infill subdivision is located along the former Bloor Street alignment
(nowGord Vinson Avenue) in a growing area of southwest Courtice. The
development is very efficient and takes advantage of existing roads and
servicing. The lots can be serviced and accessed from both Gord Vinson
Avenue and Frank Wheeler Avenue. The development has a density of 38 units
per net hectare. All housing units would contribute to intensification targets.
11.2 Staff recommends approval of the draft plan of subdivision subject to red -lined
revisions shown in Attachment 3 in the draft plan of subdivision. Instead of 13
street townhouse units, each having a minimum lot frontage of six metres, staff
recommend revisions to the draft plan of subdivision to permit 11 street
townhouse units, each having a minimum lot frontage of seven metres. The
applicant is not in support of this revision and believe the six metre frontage is
consistent with existing townhouse development in the area.
97
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -070-16 Page 11
11.3 However, while the minimum frontage for a street townhouse unit in the Urban
Residential Type Three (R3) Zone is six metres, Council supported staff's
recommendation in 1999 to approve new street townhouse units with a minimum
lot frontage of seven metres (Refer to PD -36-99 and PD -117-99). Requiring a
minimum lot frontage of seven metres allows for driveways to be paired and
provides for additional on -street parking which the six metre units cannot
provide. See Section 11.5 for the result of applying this policy to this property.
Approval of the existing townhouse units in the area pre -date the 1999 Council
resolution.
11.4 The proposed townhouse component of the development, as red -lined revised,
satisfies the applicable criteria of the Clarington Official Plan for multi -unit
residential development, as follows:
a) The size has a suitable size and shape to accommodate the townhouse
development;
b) The proposed development is compatible with surrounding development
where there is a mix of single detached, semi-detached, street townhouse
and condominium townhouse development. The proposed 11 townhouse
units are limited and not significantly increasing the townhouse unit mix in
the neighbourhood;
c) The impact on local streets is minimized with the provision of adequate
on- street parking. Local streets were constructed to accommodate
development on the subject lands.
d) Street townhouse units shall generally not comprise more than six attached
units and shall not be located across the street from multi -unit residential
development. With the recommended red -lined revision, the draft plan
illustrates a block of five street townhouse units, and a block of six street
townhouse units. As lands to the north are development, additional review
of on -street parking availability will be reviewed. Lands on the north side
could be developed with wider units to continue to provide more
opportunities for on -street parking, or could be a private condominium
development with on-site visitor parking.
11.5 On -street parking was identified as a concern at the Public Meeting stage.
Zoning By-law 84-63 establishes minimum parking rates for differing types of
residential units. All single detached and semi-detached units are required to
have two outdoor parking spaces located in the driveway contained on the lot.
Townhouse units do not require two outdoor parking spaces but require one
parking space in the driveway, and the other space is provided in the attached
garage that must be large enough to function as a parking space. These
regulations have been in effect since 1999.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -070-16
Page 12
In addition to Zoning By-law requirements, each development must
demonstrate to Engineering Services through an on -street parking plan that on -
street parking can also be accommodated at a rate of one space for every four
single detached or semi-detached units, and one for every three townhouse
units. On -street parking is not a requirement of the Zoning By-law, but is a
standard that is reviewed during the review and design stage. On -street parking
functions as additional visitor parking and limited overnight parking subject to
obtaining the appropriate municipal parking permits.
The subject draft plan of subdivision, as red -lined revised, can provide sufficient
on -street parking on the north side of Frank Wheeler Avenue and on the south
side of Gord Vinson Avenue in accordance with the rates provided above.
Increasing the unit widths from six metres to six metres results in three
additional on -street parking spaces in front of the street townhouse units (an
increase from three spaces to six).
In the interim and until lands to the north develop, there would be additional on -
street parking available on the north site of Gord Vinson Avenue.
11.6 Engineering Services and the owner of the property to the east of the subject
lands have identified grading as a concern. The applicant will be required to
demonstrate that the grading of the development can be completed in a
manner that takes into consideration transitions to new developmentto the
west and the existing property to the east.
11.7 It is recommended that the subject lands be placed in two urban residential
zones:
R2-65 for the single detached dwellings
R3-35 for the townhouse dwellings
The zones applied reflect current standards seen in newer subdivisions with
respect to lot coverage and setbacks are consistent with the surrounding
neighbourhood.
11.8 The Holding (H) symbol will be applied on the proposed zoning to ensure
adequate access and services are in place prior to development and will be
lifted by Council when the appropriate conditions are met.
11.9 Conditions of draft approval have been prepared based on staff and agency
comments and would be fulfilled as the subdivision application moves through
the final approval stage. The owner of the lands will be required to enter into a
subdivision agreement with the Municipality of Clarington.

11.10 The applicant concurs with the conditions of Draft Approval, but does not
agree with the red -lined revisions shown that increases the minimum width of
street townhouse units to seven meters and reduces the unit yield by two
townhouse units as shown on the draft plan of subdivision included in
Attachment 3.
11.11 All taxes owing to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full.
12. Concurrence
Not applicable.
13. Conclusion
In consideration of all agency, staff and public comments, it is respectfully
recommended that the applications to permit a 21 -unit draft plan of subdivision be
approved.
