Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are designated, and a three year supply of zoned and serviced lands within draft approved and registered plans. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are available. The PPS also states the infrastructure and public services shall be provided in a co-ordinated, efficient and cost-effective manner to accommodate projected needs. 6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6.1 Durham Reaion Official Plan The lands are designated as Living Area within the Durham Regional Official Plan. The predominant use of the lands within the Living Area designation shall be for housing purposes. The application conforms. 6.2 Clarinaton Official Plan 6.2.1 In the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as Urban Residential with a Public Elementary School symbol. The lands are within the Port of Newcastle Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 2,800 and a housing unit target of 1,075. Phase I consists of 366 registered units, while the current proposal for Phase II consists of 724. There are an additional 49 units in the Port of Newcastle Neighbourhood for a total of 1,139 units, which exceeds the unit allocation by 64. As a result, the population for the Port of Newcastle Neighbourhood increases from 2,800 to 2,990. The increase in both population and unit allocation is below 10% and is considered to be in conformity with the Official Plan based on the interpretation policies. 7.0 ZONING BY-LAW 7.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, the lands are zoned "Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H)R1-39". The proposed amendments conform to the current zoning. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site.

Kinked driveways will not be permitted. The final plan is subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering Services prior to the approval of this draft plan. 9.4 The Durham Region Planning Department indicated that the proposed amendment to the Clarington Official Plan would be permitted by the policies of the Durham Region Official Plan. A primary objective of the Region's Community Strategic Plan is to ensure balanced growth by implementing effective land use planning which supports compact development and healthy neighbourhoods. The proposal would appear to provide for the safe and convenient movement of pedestrians and transit riders. These applications have been screened in accordance with the terms of the provincial plan review responsibilities. Provincial issues were examined and the conditions of REPORT NO.: PSD-011-06 PAGE 5 draft approval, as amended, on the related plan of subdivision application address the concerns relating to site contamination and archaeological resources. Water supply and sanitary sewer service is available. These services can be provided to the proposed residential lots from the future services on Milligan Street. The Official Plan amendment application is considered to have no significant Regional or Provincial concerns. In accordance with Regional By-law 11-2000, this application is exempt from Regional approval. Certain conditions of draft approval would need to be modified. Conditions 1 and 2 should be changed to make reference to the appropriate amended plan. Also, those Conditions pertaining to the School Block and the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board should be amended accordingly. 1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 For the proposed amendment to Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-96013, the street pattern and lot layout fits with the existing neighbourhood design. Engineering Services have identified design issues which need to be addressed prior to a recommendation report being prepared. 10.2 Staff are also dealing with a separate Official Plan Amendment within this neighbourhood which proposes to adjust the unit count and population targets related to the medium and high density units located closer to the marina lands. Staff will ensure that the recommendations for the two applications are consistent as they move forward. 11.0 CONCLUSION 11.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the Public Meeting requirements under the Planning Act, and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.
