Council received the study and recommended that it be implemented through a secondary plan process. 1.7 Subsequently, Urban Strategies Inc. and TSH, in consultation with municipal staff, drafted a Secondary Plan for the Energy Park site. 603 REPORT NO.: PSD-019-06 PAGE 4 1.8 A Public Information Centre was held on November 9, 2005 at which the draft Secondary Plan and proposed urban design guidelines were presented. 1.9 Realizing the importance of this initiative as a major catalyst for economic investment and job creation, Council approved incentives through the Development Charges By- law No. 2005-108 that provides certain exemptions or rebates to development charges for the Clarington Energy Business Park Development Project as follows: · 100% exemption for research facilities; . 50% rebate for buildings which are certified under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program of the Canada Green Building Council 2.0 ENERGY PARK SITE CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 The site is strategically located along Highway 401, offering excellent visibility and proximity to Highway 401. There is access to Highway 401 via the Courtice Road interchange. Access may be possibly be enhanced through a future connecting highway link between Highway 401 and the future extension of Highway 407. Water and sewer services will be extended to the site after the completion of the Courtice Waste Water Treatment Plant. 2.2 Approximately 630 hectares of land in Courtice is designated for employment purposes. Both sides of Highway 401 and North Courtice lands have been partially developed with dry industrial uses. The Energy Park site comprise of 129 (318 acres) hectares. 2.3 The land is used in part for crop farming; automobile auctioning, a car dismantling plant, a multi-tenant industrial building, and farm dwellings with accessory buildings. 2.4 An identified Primary Heritage Building known as "Fairfield", the Robert Beith House, is located at 255 Osbourne Road. 2.5 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - South - Highway 401 and industrial lands CN Rail Corridor and Courtice Waste Water Treatment Plant (under construction) Municipal soccer fields and the Darlington Nuclear Power Plant Agricultural lands, Darlington Provincial Park and a future District Park East - West - 2.6 Natural features include the Tooley and Osbourne Creek systems. The lands straddling the creeks will be designated as open space. 604 REPORT NO.: PSD-019-06 PAGE 5 3.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND PARTICIPATION 3.1 Public notice was provided in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act and the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan. Notice was placed in the Canadian Statesman on February 1 and February 8, 2006. 3.2 As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any inquiries. 3.3 An open house was held on November 9, 2005. The Energy Park Draft Secondary Plan and proposed urban design guidelines were presented to the public and interested parties. 3.4 In adaition, staff have invited property owners to two sets of meetings in November 2005 and Februery 2006. The following issues were raised at meetings with land owners within the Energy Park lands: . . The future of existing uses after the new land use policies and designations take effect; . The proposed development standards e.g. set backs, minimum lot sizes, coverage, height restrictions, and how it may impact current uses, lot boundaries and marketability of land; . The prohibition of certain waste to energy processes from the permitted uses table; . The availability of municipal services and implications of the Holding prefix (that development may only occur after full municipal services have been installed) on current and future development proposals; . The impact of the Interim Control By-law and the newly proposed development standards on current development initiatives and processes; and . The importance of completing landscaping commitments of previous site plans approved in the area. 4.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 4.1 The application was circulated to relevant agencies for comment and those that replied as of February 17, 2006 had no objections to the proposal. 4.2 Comments prepared on behalf of LACAC indicated that the Energy Park area contains a primary heritage building known as "Fairfield", the Robert Beith House located at 255 Osbourne Road. Policies should be included in the Energy Park Secondary Plan to conserve and incorporate this dwelling into any redevelopment of the property. 4.3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority commented that the limits of the Environmental Protection Zones associated with the Tooley Creek and the Osbourne Creek must be further defined. A Master Drainage Plan should be prepared prior to any development within the new Energy Park. 605 REPORT NO.: PSO-Q19-Q6 PAGE 6 4.4 The Durham Region Planning Department has not provided comments on the proposed amendment to date. 4.5 The C.N. Rail has not provided comments at this time. Staff attempted to establish contact with this agency. While comments have not been provided, the following conditions are typically imposed through site plan approval. . The applicant must erect a 1.83 metre high chain link fence along the common property line. . A lot grading Cind drainage plan must be approved to ensure that storm water and lot grading does not negatively impact the railway's operations. . The applicant must erect an earthen berm on its property for spill containment and train derailment purposes. The berm must have a minimum height of 2.5 metres and a minimum 2.5 to 1 slope aspect. . A vibration study may be required to ensure that vibration from railway operations do not affect business operations. 5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT 5.1 Provincial Policy Statement encourages the provision of an appropriate mix range of employment and opportunities for a diversified economic base. 5.2 The Provincial Policy Statement states that an adequate supply of employment lands providing locations for a variety of appropriate employment uses will be maintained to ensure the vitality of the provincial economy. 5.3 It encourages the planning for employment by identifying existing and potential economic clusters and defining and identifying provincially significant designated employment areas, including prime industrial lands. 5.4 It also states that the Municipalities are encouraged to designate lands within settlement areas in the vicinity of existing major highway interchanges, ports, rail yards and airports as areas for manufacturing, warehousing, and associated retail, office and ancillary facilities, where appropriate. 6.0 PROPOSED GROWTH PLAN FOR THE GREATER GOLDEN HORSESHOE 6.1 In its comments to the Proposed Growth Plan, the Clarington submitted that the Growth Plan should recognise the emerging cluster of energy-related industries at the proposed Energy Park in Courtice and the proposed Science and Technology Park in Bowmanville. 6.2 Durham Region, in its comments to the Proposed Growth Plan, proposed that the regional economic assessment must also provide opportunity for Durham to promote economic clusters, such as automotive manufacturing and energy; and provincially significant designated employment areas, particularly around key transportation corridors such as Highway 401 and 407. 606 REPORT NO.: PSO-o19-06 PAGE 7 7.0 DURHAM REGIONAL OFFICIAL PLAN 7.1 Section 11 of the Regional Official Plan encourages the establishment of Employment Areas to increase job opportunities, attracting industries and businesses that will maxi mise economic and employment opportunities in the designated Employment Areas inthe region. 7.2 Sites having a high degree of exposure and good access should be reserved for employment intensive uses. 7.3 The Regional Official Plan encourages prestige employment uses with high employment generating capacity and greater architectural, landscaping and site controls along Highways and Type A and B arterial roads. Further it encourages the Local Official Plans to designate areas for prestige development and specify design and landscaping controls for such areas. It also recommends that the Municipality should ensure the inclusion of urban design guidelines and landscaping standards in its Official Plan. 7.4 To achieve greater diversification of the Region's economic base, Regional Centres and specific areas within Employment Areas as attractive locations for higher-order office uses, such as district and head offices of corporations are encouraged. 8.0 CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN 8.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the northern portion of the site, to a depth of approximately 150 metres as Prestige Employment Area. The predominant land uses in such areas shall be professional, corporate and office buildings, research and development facilities, commercial and technical schools, certain commercial, community and recreational uses including banks, restaurants, athletic clubs etc. under certain provisions. Most of the remainder of the site is designated as Light Industrial Area. The predominant uses within this area would be manufacturing, assembling, processing, fabricating, repairing, research and development, and warehousing. As in Prestige Areas, limited-scale commercial, community and recreational uses are also permitted. A small area adjacent to Courtice Road and the CN line is designated Environmental Protection Area. The Energy Park will diversify the employment base and promote the Municipality as a prime business location in the Greater Toronto Area and will help achieve the objective of attaining 1 job for every 3 residents as set out in the Official Plan. 8.2 Amendments to Clarinaton Official Plan The Clarington Energy Park study recommends amendments to the Official Plan to facilitate the desired development. Proposed Amendment 46 (Attachment 2) incorporates both changes to the Official Plan and the introduction of a Secondary Plan. 607 REPORT NO.: PSD-019-o6 PAGE 8 The proposed changes to the Official Plan include creating a new land use designation of Business Parks, generic policies to develop business parks and to allow secondary plans to be created. Appropriate changes have been made where necessary. The Energy Business Park is also identified as a community improvement area. This will recognize the site as a high priority employment area and will provide a planning tool to Council to access funding for infrastructure and to utilize other types of fiscal incentive/programs to encourage the development of the area, if deemed necessary. 8.3 Enerav Park Secondarv Plan Part VI of the O;;-;cial Plan is amended by adding a Secondary Plan which explains the vision, framework and guidelines for the site and enshrines them in policy to be adopted. The Secondary Plan Land Use framework consists of the following: . Prestige employment areas: approx. 31.1 acres . Prestige employment corridor - approx. 57.1 acres . Light Industrial 1 - approx. 135.8 acres . Light Industrial 2 - approx.60.6 acres . Open space - approx. 3.8 acres . Environmental protection area- .8 acres A grid network of roads that creates regular blocks maximizes property frontages and optimizes vehicular access and movement. Each of the blocks can be developed as single lots or further subdivided into smaller parcels. There are two new primary roads proposed: . Energy Drive, the main entry road and the spine of the Energy Park, with a right of width of 30 metres; and . . South Service Road across the top of the site and functioning as a Collector Road, with a right of way width of 23 metres. 8.3 The alignment of Energy Drive is complicated by the existing Manheims Auto Auction and as a result is located somewhat further south than desirable. The precise alignment of roads will be finalized through further detailed work. 9.0 ZONING BY -LAW 9.1 A large portion of the land is zoned "Light Industrial" (M1) or "General Industrial" (M2). The M 1 lands generally follow Highway 401 and the M2 zoned lands are further south. The land east of the Courtice Road interchange is zoned "Service Station Commercial" (C6-6). 9.2 The proposed zoning amendments shown in Attachment 3 are necessary to implement the proposed Secondary Plan policies. 608 REPORT NO.: PSD-Q19-o6 PAGE 9 The Energy Park zonings will consist in part of: . Energy Park Office Zone (M01) - the north western corner, adjacent to the Courtice/401 interchange; . Energy Park Prestige Zone (M02) - a strip along the 401, to a depth of approx. 150m; . Energy Park Light Industrial Zone (ML 1) - the centre part of the Energy Park; . Energy Park General Industrial Zone (ML2) - the southern part along the C.N. Railway line; and . Environmental Protection Zone (existing) - in the southern lower corner, adjacent to Courtice Road. 9.3 The existing industrial developments on the Energy Park site namely Manheims Auto Auction and COf-'art Auto Auction and motor wrecking yard are recognized and zoned accordingly as exception zones with conditions specifically tied to legally existing uses and structures on the sites, instead of being accommodated as legal nonconforming uses. The two exceptions are: . Energy Park Prestige Exception (M02-1) Zone - a 10.552 hectare site, on the corner of Osbourne Road and South Service Road, to recognise the existing Manheims automotive auction business. . Energy Park General Industrial Exception (ML2-1) Zone - a 10.552 hectare site, adjacent to the C.N. Railway line and Osbourne Road, to recognise the existing Copart automotive auction and motor wrecking yard. 9.4 Before Council's Interim Control By-law in March 2004, the Municipality was considering a site plan application for a single storey multi-tenant building submitted by Mr. Bill Labanovich. The applicant has indicated that the use provisions are satisfactory. As the proposed site plan meets the draft Secondary Plan and zoning standards, the applicant can now proceed with the proposed development, subject to the successful completion of the prescribed site plan application and resolution of any outstanding issues. 1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 The Energy Park should be developed using six key principles: innovation, conservation, efficiency, integration, diversity and design excellence. The Secondary Plan will support development that facilitates growth in the energy sector and promotes innovations demonstrating environmental sustainability. 10.2 The Secondary Plan requires further refinements with regard to the urban design and detail concepts. These details can be incorporated into an Energy Business Park Design Plan. 609 REPORT NO.: PSD-019-o6 PAGE 10 10.3 The Secondary Plan (Attachment 2) section 8.2.10 encourages the preservation and incorporation of "Fairfield", the Robert Beith House, into the design of any development proposal for that site. 10.4 Future amendments to the Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law may be required as more information becomes available through the future Master Drainage Plan and detailed Energy Business Park Design Plan. 10.5 Municipal Services: One of the key requirements in developing a business park is to have full municipal services. This has been a major constraint in Clarington and will be solved for the Energy Businep'" Park when the new water pollution control plant becomes operational by late 2007. In order to implement this, the Secondary Plan provides for the development of a Master Infrastructure Plan that will deal with the timing and phasing of water, sanitary sewer, stormwater facilities and roads. Generally no new development should proceed on private services but it is recognized that there may be an exceptional circumstance that would warrant an exception. A requirement for lifting the holding symbol in the zoning by-law will be that the proponent makes satisfactory arrangements with the Region and the Municipality for the implementation of the Master Infrastructure Plan. The Secondary Plan makes provision for an exemption for the Labanovich site plan application due to its advanced stage in the planning review process. However, the owner will be required to comply with Section 11.7.1 of the Official Plan which include a requirement to connect to services when available and pay the owners share for the construction of services when such services are available. 10.6 The next steps will include: 1) A workshop session with the DSEA, the Region, and the property owners to define: . An organization framework and necessary partnership arrangements to implement the Plan . detailed design plan . servicing strategies (water, sewage and roads) . marketing plan . incentives plan 2) The preparation of the Master Drainage Plan 3) The preparation of a Master Infrastructure Plan 610 REPORT NO.: PSD-019-06 PAGE 11 11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 11.1 Based on the comments in this report, it is respectfully recommended that the Official Plan Amendment, Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment contained in Attachments 2 and 3 be approved.

Location This Amendment applies to the area located immediately south of Highway 401 to the C.N. Rail corridor and between Courtice Road and Solina Road. The subject lands are entirely within the Courtice Urban Area. 3. Basis On February 23, 2004, Council of the Municipality of Clarington gave approval to commence with a review of the South Courtice Employment Lands to determine the feasibility of and appropriate planning framework for developing an energy business park on the lands. Interim Control By-law 2004-061 was passed to allow time for the study to be completed and its recommendations considered by Council. Interim Control By-law 2005-028 was passed to allow for an extension to the timeframe for completion of the study. Urban Strategies Inc., Gartner Lee Limited, The Delphi Group and Totten Sims Hubicki Associates were retained to lead the study. They worked together with a project steering committee that included Municipal staff and representatives from Durham Region, the Clarington Board of Trade and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Affected landowners and potential stakeholders were consulted, and a publiC information session was held on November 9,2005. This Amendment is based on public consultation and the study team's analysis, which is summarized in the report entitled Clarinaton Eneray Business Park Study dated March 2005. 4.

Introduction 1.1 The Clarington Energy Business Park ("the Energy Park") is located immediately south of Highway 401 and north of the CN rail corridor, between Courtice Road and Solina Road. Osborne Road bisects the area. Immediately east of the Energy Park is the Darlington Nuclear Power Plant and to the west is Darlington Provincial Park. 1.2 The area for the Energy Park, occupying 129 hectares (318 acres), has been identified as an appropriate location for prestige employment uses that can benefit from close proximity to Darlington Nuclear Power Plant, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and/or other major employers within the energy and environment sectors of the regional economy. The site has the attributes to become a focal point for new development within the Durham Energy Cluster. The overall intent of this Secondary Plan is to guide development of a business park that facilitates employment growth in these sectors, promotes energy innovations and demonstrates environmental sustainability in its design. 1.3 This Secondary Plan is based upon, and future development should be guided by, the following overarching principles: a) Innovation - Businesses in the park should research, manufacture, demonstrate or otherwise support innovative technologies, particularly in the fields of energy. The Park itself should be innovative in its design and demonstrate environmental sustainability to the world. b) Conservation - The conservation of energy and natural resources, and the use of renewable energy, should be among the highest priorities in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of all development in the park, including infrastructure, buildings and the landscape. Adverse impacts from development on natural systems should be minimized. c) Efficiency - The park as a whole and individual developments should be designed to use land, streets. municipal services and energy efficiently. Techniques to maximize energy efficiency should be integrated into the design of buildings, sites and the park as a whole. d) Integration - Research and development facilities, institutional and corporate offices, and manufacturing plants should be mixed within the park to promote linkages and synergies among related businesses. e) Diversity - A wide range of businesses should be accommodated. Streets should be designed for a variety of transportation modes, including automobiles, trucks, cycling. walking and, in time, public transit. A diversity of renewable energy sources and demonstration projects should help power the Energy Park. Page 3 615 f) Design excellence - The design of buildings, streetscapes, open spaces and infrastructure should be distinctive, aesthetically and functionally, incorporating new energy innovations. The physical and business environment of the park should make it a showcase for Clarington, Durham Region and Ontario. 2.

Director of Planning Services ReViewedbO~~ Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer SA/CP/DJC/lw/df 10 February 2006 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ClARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 655 REPORT NO.: PSD-020-06 PAGE 2 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Martindale Planning Services 1.2 Owner: Trustees of the Newtonville/Shiloh/Kendal Pastoral Charge 1.3 Rezoning: To rezone the subject lands from the "Residential Hamlet (RH) Zone" to an appropriate zone to permit the severance of the existing manse from the Newtonville United Church. 1.4 Site Area: Total Area = 3052.1 m2 Retained parcel = 1852.1 m2 Severed parcel = 1200 m2 2.0 LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands are located at 2035 and 2041 Newtonville Road, Newtonville (Attachment 1). The property is contained within Part Lot 8, Concession 2, in the former Township of Clarke. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On September 22, 2005, Bob Martindale of Martindale Planning Services, on behalf of the Trustees of the Newtonville/Shiloh/Kendal Pastoral Charge, submitted an application to the Municipality of Clarington to rezone the subject lot, 2035 and 2041 Newtonville Road, to permit the severance of the existing manse with a lot area of 1200 m2 (0.29 acres). The Newtonville United Church property would retain a lot 1852 m2 (0.45 acres). 3.2 A Public Meeting was held December 5, 2005. No one spoke in opposition to this application. 4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The subject property currently contains the church, manse, a septic system for each, and some limited unstructured parking. At this time the driveway is shared. 4.2 Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Residential Residential Residential Residential 656 REPORT NO.: PSD-020-06 PAGE 3 5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 5.1 The proposed rezoning application is within the Newtonville hamlet settlement area. The property is currently serviced by existing municipal water and individual septic system for each use and has frontage on both a regional road and a local road. There will be no expansion of the hamlet boundary required or any new services required, thus the application meets provincial policy. 5.2 Within the Greenbelt Plan the subject lands are designated "Hamlet. This application is to separate two existing uses that lawfully existed prior to the Greenbelt Plan and the property is within the Hamlet boundary. Thus, as there is no proposed expansion to the hamlet boundary the application meets the policies of the Greenbelt Plan. 6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6.1 The lands are designated "Hamlet" in the Durham Region Official Plan. The Hamlet designation permits a variety of housing types as well as community facilities. 6.2 The lands are designated "Hamlet Residential" in the Clarington Official Plan. This designation permits low density residential uses, and other uses such as places of worship. Typically all new lots on septic systems must be a minimum of 0.4 ha in area. The Hamlet of Newtonville is serviced by a Regional water supply and thus the minimum lot size may be reduced by providing an engineering study that demonstrates the soil and groundwater conditions can support reduced lot sizes without contaminating soil or groundwater. The proposed use conforms with the Clarington Official Plan. 7.0 ZONING BY-LAW 7.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Residential Hamlet (RH)". All new lots with an "RH" zone are required to be a minimum of 4000 m2 in area. Both the severed and retained lots are proposed to be less than 4000 m2. Thus the application has been submitted to reduce the lot area requirements. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the property. 8.2 One inquiry was received requesting information about the application. No concerns or objections to the application have been received. 657 REPORT NO.: PSD-020-06 PAGE 4 9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 Clarington Engineering Services has no objection to the rezoning application but will require each proposed lot to have its own access to an open, maintained road. The Regional Works Department has agreed to the additional access for the severed parcel, providing it is located at the north end of the proposed lot. A condition of the land division application which is being processed concurrently requires the second access to be installed prior to municipal clearance of the land division application. 9.2 Clarington Bui!ding Division requires that each building have a separate water connection directly to the road allowance. The Regional Works Department has confirmed that each building has an existing separate water connection. 9.3 Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has no objection to the rezoning application. Permits will not be required from the Authority prior to any further development or construction on these lands. 9.4 The Regional Health Department has reviewed the application and will not require an engineering study to support the reduction in lot area. Both septic systems are existing, and the applicant has proposed reserve tile bed areas adequate for both existing uses should the primary systems fail. 9.5 Regional Planning has no objection to this application as it meets both Provincial and Regional policy. 1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 The applicant has provided information to staff that the Newtonville United Church and manse have occupied the subject parcel since approximately 1880. From a review of air photos available to Staff, the site appears unchanged since 1992. 10.2 The current zoning permits single detached dwellings and places of worship. However, each use would be required to have a minimum lot area of 4000 m2. The total lot area of this parcel is currently 3052.1 m2 and has legal non-complying status. 10.3 The Clarington Official Plan policies for Newtonville permit the reduction in lot area if municipal water services are available and the smaller lot size is supported, based on the results of an engineering study. The lot currently has two existing septic systems servicing the church and manse separately. After consultation with the Regional Health Department, Staff are satisfied that if the rezoning and severances are approved the two properties are able to accommodate reserve tile bed areas in addition to the existing septic systems without impacting adjacent properties. As noted above, the Regional Health Department has stated that as the existing situation will not be altered as a result of the severance, a servicing study for this property is not required. 658 REPORT NO.: PSD-020-06 PAGE 5 10.4 The proposed severance will require an additional entranceway on Regional Road 18 for the manse lot. This does not meet Regional standards for access. However, the Durham Region Works Department has approved a new entrance from the north side of the proposed severed lot. 10.5 The proposed severed lot containing the manse will have adequate area to provide two outdoor parking spaces as required by the zoning by-law. The retained lot, where the church is situated, has not historically provided structured on-site parking. There is a driveway approximately 60 metres in length which handles some parking, and the grassed area at the rear of the church also has occasionally accommodated some parking. As parking has traditionally been on Church Street, staff find that the rezoning and related land divisions will not alter the existing parking situation. 10.6 The Clarington Finance Department reports that all applicable taxes are paid in full at this time. 11.0 RECOMMENDATION 11.1 The church and manse have occupied the property for a very long time. With the exception of a new driveway to Regional Road 18, there will be no physical change as a result of approving the rezoning and the proposed severance. Based on the comments contained in this report, 'it is respectfully recommended that the rezoning application be APPROVED.

The. applicant has requested to redevelop these two properties for single detached dwellings on 12 metre frontages which is not permitted in the "R1" zone, thus the need for the rezoning application. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the property. 8.2 One inquiry was received following the sign being posted and notice mailed. The inquiry suggested the use of the property as a parkette for the people living on the north side of Concession Street East. Their concern was that the Guildwood Park is over used and the Elephant Hill Park is located uphill and is thus difficult to access. They had no objection to the new dwellings, but would prefer to see a parkette. 9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 Clarington Engineering Services, Building Divisiqn, Emergency Services and Community Services have no objection to the rezoning application. Engineering 665 REPORT NO.: PSD-021-06 PAGE 4 Services submitted detailed comments and requirements for the related land division applications submitted concurrently to the Durham Region Land Division Committee. 9.2 Durham R~gion has no objection to the application. A noise study is required and - has been submitted to the Region and Clarington in support of the application. 9.3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation has reviewed grading plans that were submitted with the concurrent Land Division applications. CLOC has approved these grading plans and has no further concerns with the rezoning application. 9.4 Veridian, Rogers, Enbridge and Bell had no objections to this application. 1 0.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 The owner of the surrounding lands, Penwest Development Corp. Ltd has endeavoured to purchase both the subject lands for a number of years. They have completed eight phases of subdivision development south of these lands from Orchard Park Drive Oust north of King Street East) to Concession Street East. These are the last two parcels of land to complete the development pattern determined through Plan of Subdivision 40M- 2203. 10.2 The existing lot pattern around the subject properties consists of lots with 12 metre frontages. Building permits have been issued on approximately half of the lots in 40M- 2203 and many dwellings are currently under construction. The proposed zoning will ' continue this 12 metre frontage lot pattern and the two parcels will be in keeping with the surrounding area. The applicant is also proposing to use the same setbacks as all the surrounding lots in the area to keep the street appearance consistent. 10.3 The Official Plan policies generally limit the number of severances from a single parcel to three new lots. As the subdivision agreement between the Municipality and Penwest for the lands surrounding the parcel at the corner of Mearns and Concession dealt with all road and servicing issues and provided an overall grading plan for the area, it was decided that the applicant could proceed through the Land Division process for seven new lots. Subsequent to that decision, the owner was able to purchase the second lot, and permission was granted for five additional lots, located on the same -streets to be created by land division. 10.4 A development agreement has been required as a condition of approval for these lots which will ensure all the Municipality's requirements, financial and otherwise, are met prior to development. 10.5 The internal road, Dadson Drive has been constructed at this time so there is adequate access to the south-facing proposed lots. Water, sanitary and electrical services are located in the surrounding road allowances and have the capacity to service these proposed lots. 666 REPORT NO.: PSD-021-06 PAGE 5 10.6 Through the Land Division applications the Region requested a noise study to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are taken to abate the noise generated by Mearns Avenue and Concession Street East, which are both Type C Arterial Roads. The noise study requirements, including a noise fence for lots abutting Mearns Avenue, mandatory air conditioning and a warning clause for the corner lot, forced-air heating system able to accommodate air conditioning with a warning clause for lots facing Concession Street East or Mearns Avenue, will be addressed through the municipal land division agreements. 10.7 The Clarington Finance Department reports that all applicable taxes are paid in full for both properties at this time. 11.0 RECOMMEND.A. liON 11.1 The subject lots are the two remaining development parcels in this section of the Vincent Massey Neighbourhood. The rezoning of these lands is consistent with the surrounding approved lots, will complete the development pattern previously established by a number of phases of subdivision approval and will facilitate the land division applications. Based on the comments contained in this report, it is respectfully recommended that the rezoning application be APPROVED.

THAT Report PSD-023-06 be received for information. Submitted by: DavlCJ J rome, M.C.I.P., R.P.P. Director of Planning Services Reviewed b.{J~ .::S~. Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer BH/CP/DJC/df 10 February 2006 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 682 REPORT NO.: PSD-023-06 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an annual update on information regarding site plan applications that have been submitted for approval. 1.2 The Site Plan Control By-law requires that plans and drawings for any building or structure be approved by the Municipality prior to issuance of a building permit except for those exceptions stated in By-law 90-130. By-law 90-130 delegates the approval authority of site plan applications to the Director of Planning Services and the Director of Engineering Services. 1.3 Site plan approval is generally required for a proposed development to ensure a comprehen!l'i"e design review of the location of all buildings and structures, landscaping, access locations, parking areas, signage and grading etc., by all regulatory authorities. In addition, it is through the site plan approval process that the Municipality ensures conditions of approval are applied including requirements such as; cash-in-lieu of parkland dedications, road widenings, performance guarantees, etc. Land owners are required to execute a development agreement with the Municipality which is registered on title and is enforceable against present and future owners. Minor additions or expansions to existing facilities typically require "plans approval only". 2.0 SITE PLAN ACTIVITY 2.1 Attachment 1 to this report outlines site plan applications received during the period of January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2005. Attachment 2 outlines site plan applications approved during the same time period. Approval may be conditional on agreements being signed by the applicant, executed by the Mayor and Municipal Clerk and then registered against title. Until registration occurs, a building permit is not usually available. 2.2 Site Plan activity through 2005 was as follows: Applications Received Applications Approved Applications Withdrawn Applications Appealed to OMB Applications Denied to OMB Application Files Remaining Open at end of 2005 46 42 2 o o 66 683 REPORT NO.: PSD-023-06 PAGE 3 Chart 1 Site Plan Applications Received 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 o 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 lications 28 41 40 55 34 48 52 61 47 46 2.3 A breakdown of site plan applications submitted in 2005 by land use type is shown in the pie chart below. Chart 2 2005 Site Plan Applications By Type Residential 15% Commercial 54% 684 REPORT NO.: PSD-023-06 PAGE 4 2.4 Site plans approved in 2005 by type are shown in Chart 3. These figures also include site plans received in years previous to 2005. Chart 3 2005 Approved Site Plan Applications by Type Residential 14% Commercial 45% 2.5 There are 66 files open at year end 2005. Some have been recently received and are in circulation for comments from other departments and external agencies. Others have been open for longer periods. These tend to fall into one of two categories: · more complex applications, often requiring more time for resolving issues, possibly requiring other planning approvals; · applications in which the applicant is experiencing unanticipated issues, not related to the file, and cannot devote the resources to address the application. In 2005, staff workload has led to delays in processing some of the applications. 2.6 A review of the historical data shows that the total number of site plan applications received in 2005 is generally consistent with the previous five (5) years. The percentage of commercial applications has increased from 36% in 2002 to 44% in 2004 and 54% in 2005. The percentage of industrial applications has remained relatively constant between over the same timeframe between 22% and 24%. 3.0 CONCLUSION 3.1 Site plan activity in 2005 follows recent trends with strong growth in the industrial and commercial sector. In the last few years, townhouse and apartment projects have become a more significant component of site plan review activities. 685 REPORT NO.: PSD-023-06 PAGE 5 Attachments: Attachment 1 - Site Plan Applications (January 1, 2005 to December 31,2005) Attachment 2 - Approved Site Plans (January 1,2005 to December 31,2005) 686 r O C N M E O U O U) (L 0 CL 4) W H SITE PLAN APPLICATIONS RECEIVED IN 2005 /cam 0 0 J 61110 61110 SPA2005/001 1/14/2005 2375 Highway 2 Loblaw Pro erties Ltd Bowmanville A temporary arden centre SPA2005/002 2/1/2005 89 King St E S van Developments Ltd Bowmanville Addition of an outdoor restaurant patio SPA2005/003 2/2/2005 Lakebreeze Rd K lemore Homes Ltd Clarke Temporary sales office SPA2005/004 2/8/2005 45 Ci as Rd Phillip Powers Auto Transport Courtice Operation of a car hauling business SPA2005/005 2/11/2005 17 Spicer S Clarin ton H undi Bowmanville Automotive sales and services SPA2005/006 2/21/2005 243 Kin St Barmond Builders Ltd Bowmanville Expansion to A&P SPA2005/007 3/1/2005 2839 Highway 2 Bas Van Andel Bowmanville Pool Supply Outlet SPA2005/008 3/11/2005 1420 Hi hwa 2 Birchdale Investments Ltd Courtice Lease 18 parking spaces SPA2005/009 3/21/2005 Mearns AvelSt. Stevens Estates Ltd Bowmanville Forty townhouses with a centralsquare SPA2005/010 3/23/20051 5221 Main St lRace Mechanical Systems Orono Call centre office SPA2005/011 3/23/2005 2401 Highway 2 lCanadian Tire Real Estate Ltd Bowmanville Temporary arden centre SPA2005/012 4/7/2005 14/13/2005 2151 South Service Rd Ontario Power Generation Darlington Expansion to existing parking lot SPA2005/013 4/11/2005 2 Kingsway Gt Karam D.

Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer BMR/CP/DJC/df 13 February 2006 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 691 REPORT NO.: PSD-024-06 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) has proposed changes to the Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) Formulae. The proposed changes were forwarded to the Municipality on December 15, 2005 for comment by January 28th, 2006. To meet the deadline, staff prepared a response (Attachment 1) and are asking Council to endorse the comments in the staff letter. 1.2 The MDS is a tool used to ensure a sufficient buffer between agricultural uses and potentially conflicting residential land uses, and is intended to minimize nuisance complaints from odour. Presently two formulae are used in reviewing all building permit applications to determine minimum distance separations. When calculating the distance between a proposed new development and an existing livestock facility, MDS I is applied. When calculating the distance between a proposed new or expansion to an existing livestock facility and existing development, MDS II is applied. 2.0 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 2.1 The following is a list of significant proposed changes: i) Clarification of implementation guidelines to ensure greater consistency of implementation. This clarification includes elaborating on what structures are considered agricultural buildings and would therefore require the application of the MOS. In the past, there has been confusion as to whether MDS applies to field shad shelters and barns that do not house livestock but are used for feeding. ii) Changes so that livestock uses and non-farm development are treated equally. Presently, the MDS formulae are weighted so a livestock facility can be constructed closer to an existing development than a new development could be constructed to the same livestock facility. OMAFRA is proposing that the calculation be applied equally when either new development or a new livestock facility is proposed. iii) Municipal Agricultural Advisory Committee to provide conflict resolution. In the Background of the Introduction, the MDS suggests a course of action for resolving issues with perceived abnormal odour, noise or dust should be with the assistance of the local Municipal Agricultural Advisory Committee (MAAC). 692 .... REPORT NO.: PSD-024-06 PAGE 3 iv) Ministry reviews of MDS every five years. This review is to ensure the document reflects current land use planning practices, technological innovation within the livestock industry, and continues to meet the needs of the agricultural and rural communities. v) Allowance for the application of the MDS II expansion factor only following a minimum of three-years after the issuance of a building permit for livestock housing. The expCinsion factor is a component of the MDS calculations that applies to a building permit for an addition to an existing livestock facility. This factor provides flexibility for farmers when expanding an existing operation when that operation may be located near existing non-farm related development, by reducing the impact of an increase in livestock capacity within the MDS formula. A new facility would require a greater MDS than a livestock facility which has been expanded to the same capacity. The three-year time period is intended to apply to new facilities to prevent them from circumventing the greater distance requirement. vi) Additional information to help Committees of Adjustment and municipalities assess requests for minor variances. Previous MDS documents provided no direction for Comm ittees of Adjustment when reviewing minor variances from the MDS. Within the proposed document, OMAFRA has provided some direction, including strongly recommending that no . variance be granted except when proposed on an existing lot of record. This direction is quite limiting if a municipality chooses not to apply MDS to existing lots of record. The document does not elaborate further on proposed support for Committees of Adjustment, although it is implied that additional training and guidance as stated below would be provided to Committees as well. vii) More training and guidance for municipalities and other users of MOS. As with the previous MDS, a computer program is being designed to aid municipalities in calculating MDS. It is also anticipated that additional support will be provided through training sessions, and OMAFRA staff when required, however, the document does not outline those specific courses of action. viii) Stronger encouragement that municipalities apply MDS to existing lots of record. MDS must be applied to new development; however there is no requirement that MDS must be applied to existing lot of record. Applying the MDS to all existing lots of record may significantly restrict or even prohibit the owners of some lots from developing. 693 ~ REPORT NO.: PSD-024-06 PAGE 4 ix) Alignment with existing nutrient management tools (e.g. base MDS on Nutrient Units) Previous MDS calculations were based on "animal units". A single cow was considered one unit, while it took 125 chickens to amount to one unit. This calculation was based on animal mass. The proposed changes to the MDS would base calculations on Nutrient Units as outlined in the recently enacted Nutrient Management Act. This calculation is based on the production of nutrients in the potential fertilizer replacement. x) Specifying absolute minimum distances between livestock barns and houses, and vice versa. A minimum distance of 70 metres has been proposed, regardless of the scale of the livestock operation. Should the Municipality choose not to apply the MDS to existing lots of record, this provision will mainly impact proposed livestock buildings. Smaller agricultural lots and hobby farms will likely be impacted, they tend to be located in close proximity to other smaller lots with non-farm residences on them. A larger livestock operation is more likely to exceed the required 70 metre MDS and have a sufficient lot area to locate a livestock building outside the MDS area. Should the Municipality choose to apply the MDS to existing lots of record, this provision may result in a more widespread impact, such as prohibiting development on an existing lot of record if that lot is within 70 metres of an existing livestock building. xi) Minor changes to separation distances, where warranted (e.g. slightly larger separation distances for hobby farms with livestock, and slightly larger separation distances for some commercial sized operations such as segregated early weaning (SEW) sow barns. It would generally appear that the uses identified as not having a sufficient distance separation in the previous MDS formulae were increased to address the deficiency. xii) Requirement of MDS for manure storages, where no livestock are present on the property. Previous MDS calculations were based on a distance separation from manure storage in conjunction with a building or structure. The proposed amendrTlents would include a separation from manure storage should it be located on a vacant lot, or in a separate location from a livestock building on the same lot. xiii) Requirement of MDS for anaerobic digester systems located on farms. Much like the MDS requirement for manure storage, anaerobic digester systems would also require MDS separation. 694 REPORT NO.: PSD-024-06 PAGE 5 xiv) The MDS is to be applied. when new development is proposed near an empty livestock facility as the site still has the potential to be used. The previous MDS calculations applied only to active livestock buildings. The proposed MDS would apply to inactive buildings, as well as those buildings which have the potential to be converted to livestock facilities, but are presently being used for other agricultural purposes. Administering this portion of the MDS may require a greater input from the farmer who owns the inactive farm building. xv) OMAFRA is strongly encouraging the application of minimum distance separations from new livestock facilities to existing development when located within a settlement or urban area. Presently the MDS is not applicable within urban or settlement areas. OMAFRA suggests it is possible to apply MDS from proposed development to existing livestock facilities within an urban area, but that is not strongly advised. An amendment to Zoning By-law would be required to apply the MDS to either new livestock facilities or to new development within an urban or settlement area. 3.0 STAFF COMMENTS 3.1 Staff is generally in support of the proposed improvements to the MDS. Staff, in consultation with the Agricultural Advisory Committee, prepared comments which were forwarded to the Ministry at the end of January to meet the timeframe for commenting (Attachment 1). 3.2 Some concerns of Staff that were identified in the comments were requesting that the flexibility afforded to the Municipality, specifically in applying the MDS to areas within the urban and settlement areas, as well as the applying the MDS to existing lots of record be maintained. Should OMAFRA amend the proposed document to require or prohibit the Municipality from applying the MDS in these situations, the potential for inhibiting development, either as an expansion of an agricultural operation or construction on a vacant residential lot increases. By maintaining flexibility, Staff and Council have the opportunity to address specific situations within the Municipality in a creative way during the implementation of the new MDS in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. 3.3 The Terms of Reference for Municipal Agricultural Advisory Committees (MAAC) are established by the Municipality; most do not include conflict resolution as a responsibility of their Committee. The referencing of MAACs in this document implies that this additional task has been assigned to the Committees, regardless of a Municipality's desire to do so. No training in conflict resolution is being provided by the Ministry, therefore, it is presumptuous to assume that the local committees will have the 695 REPORT NO.: PSD-024-06 PAGE 6 time and training to carry out this function, especially since there is a lack of criteria in how odour, noise and dust will be measured. 3.4 Through consultation with members of the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington (AACC), some issues were identified that should be added to the proposed MDS. The inclusion of a definition for "Temporary Field Storage" was requested for clarification and interpretation purposes. The inclusion of structures such as abattoirs, slaughters houses and mushroom farms were also requested as they produce odour which would be considered offensive, and their inclusion would be appropriate. 3.5 Further study was requested on a definition for field shade shelters as they are exempt from MDS, but do not have a size limitation. Staff felt the lack of a defined term or size limitation left ton much flexibility, and could permit a structure which does not meet the intent of the MDS. 3.6 Staff also requested that, in addition to the MDS, the Ministry develop guidelines to assist municipalities in establishing appropriate buffers between settlement areas and agricultural uses. As the Municipality grows to the limits of the Protected Countryside, a permanent boundary will be established between urban and rural areas. Although MDS could be applied to address odour impact in urban areas or settlement areas, and there are other impacts on residential areas such as machinery noise and spray"drift. At the same time, residential areas in close proximity to agricultural operations can create increased problems for farmers, including increased risk of trespassing, theft and liability. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 Staff respectfully request that Council endorse the comments as outlined in Attachment 1.

The 45 day review period happens to fall during the Winter Holiday recess of Council and advisory committees. Thus, the comments that follow have not been endorsed by Councilor our Agricultural Advisory Committee. The Agricultural Advisory Committee is aware of the comments and. may be providing additional comments. Council will be asked to endorse the comments at a regularly scheduled meeting in February. The improvements proposed address the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 (PPS) and the limitation of the existing Minimum Distance Separation Formulae with respect to the change in agricultural technology and farm practices and land use planning which have occurred since its inception in 1995. Through the review of the proposed Improvements to the Minimum Distance Separation, some areas have been identified for further consideration as follows: . The application of the MDS Formulae to existing lots of record; . the application of the MDS Formulae to developments within settlement and urban areas; and . the proposed 70 metre absolute minimum distance. These items, if not properly administered, have the potential to prohibit development on a lot, be it construction of a dwelling on a vacant lot, or the expansion of a farm operation. 40.TEM.PERANCESTREET, Bo5NMA.NVILL~;.OtnARIO L1 c 3A6" i'6(9O'S) 623-33 .... ..... i.c 0 R~'()R,A T 10 NOFT H E M.~~I C II3A l..ilY 0 fC LA RIN. GT 0 MDS Page 2 Introduction In the Background of the Introduction, the MDS suggests a course of action for resolving issues with perceived abnormal odour, noise or dust should be with the assistance of the local Municipal Agricultural Advisory Committee (MAAC). As the terms of reference for the MAAC are established by the Municipality, most do not include conflict resolution as a responsibility of their Committee. The referencing of MAACs in. this document implies that this additional task has been assigned to the Committees, regardless of a Municipality's desire to do so. Conflict resolution by the MAAC's could pit neighbour to neighbour and is not the best way of resolving issues. In addition, no training in conflict resolution-is being provided by the Ministry; therefore, it is presumptuous to assume that the local committees will have the time and training to carry out this function; especially since there is a lack of criteria in how odour, noise and dust will be measured. Perception is most often the problem. Definitions Reference is made to "Temporary Field Storage" within the proposed amendments. While it is interpreted that this term is consistent with the term as defined in the Nutrient Management Act, the definition of "Temporary Field Storage" should be included in this document for clarification and implementation purposes. IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES (MDS I AND MDS II) General Flexibility to allow local Municipality's to apply the MDS within settlement and urban areas is appropriate. This can provide a municipality an additional tool to provide buffering between agricultural and urban developments, and w~en applied properly can direct development to more appropriate areas. As each municipality's have their own unique obstacles to development, providing them flexibility during the implementation of the MDS can be useful in achieving the goals of the MDS and of the municipality. Consideration should be given to applying MDS I and MDS 1\ to abattoirs, slaughter houses and mushroom farms. As it is the objective of the MDS to minimize nuisance . complaints due to odour, and thereby reduce potential land use conflicts, including such uses would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the MDS. Lots of Record In the application of the MDS to existing lots of record, the proposed document provides Municipalities flexibility in applying the MDS Formulae to existing lots of record based on its own criteria. This will allow the Municipality to avoid the outright prohibition of development on a lot due to distance separations. This flexibility is vital, and provisions should be made to ensure this flexibility is afforded to Lower Tier Municipalities by OMAFRA and Upper Tier Municipalities should not be involved in setting the standard for the application of the formula. 698 MDS Page 3 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES (MDS II) Measurements Field shade shelters are excluded from the MDS calculations, no limit to the size of field shade shelters has been established. As a result, the potential exists for a shelter or a number of shelters to be constructed, of a size and scale which may not meet the intent of the MDS. Further study into establishing a maximum size for a field shade shelter which is not required to meet the MDS should be undertaken. . It is suggested that the Ministry review and develop guidelines to assist municipalities in dealing with appropriate buffers between settlement areas and. agricultural uses. Although odours and noise are the prevalent issues arising between. residential development and the farming community, other issues could also be better addressed throug~ the use of buffers, such as pesticide drift. This will become especially important with both the Greenbelt Plan and Places to Grow making urban boundary expansions more difficult. Municipal Staff supports the proposed Improvements to the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae as they more accurately reflect the intent of the MDS. Staff would recommend a review of the suggested improvements as outlined above, and implementation of those suggestions as defined.

Cannella Director of Engineering Services ASC/jo February 13, 2006 702 Report #EGD-1 0-06 Page 3 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 W.E. Roth Construction Limited has received site plan approval to construct a series of self storage industrial buildings at the south side of South Service Road east of Symons Road in Bowmanville. This development is similar to the development constructed by W.E. Roth on the southeast corner of South Service Road and Symons Road in 2003. Attachment 1 shows the location of the property. 1.2 As part of the first site plan approval, the applicant has transferred the necessary road widen::.~ to the Municipality. In order to facilitate the development, the applicant must construct a stormwater outfall within the Darlington Creek valleylands. An easement must be granted by Council to allow the applicant to construct and maintain the stormwater outfall within the valleyland. A similar easement was granted to W.E. Roth as part of the 2003 development. 2.0 STAFF COMMENTS 2.1 The development proposal has been subject to extensive review by all relevant agencies through the site plan approval process. Staff have ensured that the stormwater outfall has been designed to minimize erosion damage to the Darlington Creek, both through the construction phase and over its longterm operation. 2.2 The easement (10m x 40 m) will be described as a Part of a Reference Plan once the plan has been prepared and would permit the applicant to construct and maintain the stormwater outfall works for the proposed industrial development. The terms of the easement do not allow the applicant to remove or place additional fill other than what is required for the outfall itself. The easement also indemnifies the Municipality against claims, demands or causes by the applicant arising from actions undertaken in exercising the easement rights. 703 Report #EGD-1 0-06 Page 4 3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the stormwater outfall construction and maintenance easement as shown on the attached by-law (Attachment 2) is recommended. Again, this by-law is similar to the one passed by Council as part of the earlier development. All costs associated with the transfer of the easement will be borne by the applicant.

Please note in the following table the total number of our responses for the 2005 winter season: January February March April November December Total Winter Responses 18 10 12 3 4 13 60 This includes thirty-two full responses and eleven early morning call ins. As of Dec 31 for the 2005 winter season the Operations Department incurred 5634.5 hours of total overtime including 1182.5 hours for Sunday maintenance. BUDGET: Further to our Report OPD-009-05, the 2005 winter maintenance budget from January 1st to December 31st was $1,300,892.00 with an actual of $1,568,352.56, after the year end inventory adjustment. It should be noted that November and December maintenance was approximately $440,000.00 of the above total. ADDITIONAL WINTER MAINTENANCE: With the paving of the walking trails at Valley 2000, Soper Creek and Lions Trail, there have been requests by the public to fully maintain these during the winter. It is estimated that an additional $200,000 would have to be added to the winter maintenance budget to include this as part of our winter program. Several factors including lighting and liability will also have to be considered.

All winter maintenance staff attended a seminar by Dickey John Canada on the operation and use of these units. The mechanics received additional specialized training on repairing, calibration and diagnosis. All new trucks being built will be tendered with this technology. As mixing a consistent blend of material is also an important part of our salt manc1gement plan, we initiated a new process starting in the fall 2005. A double conveyor syster<, was used to more accurately mix the salt and sand, plus an injection of liquid calcium chloride was added to the mixture to aid in the deicing process. The material contains 12% salt mix ratio with four gallons of liquid calcium chloride per tonne. CONCLUSION: The Operations Department continues to closely monitor weather forecasts through the various weather systems to observe conditions to respond accordingly.

THAT Report CSD-05-06 be received for information. Submitted by: J p P. Caruana . ector of Community Services Reviewed bO fl--e{Z~~ Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer JPC/EM/SCITLlSM CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1 C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-5506 1052 REPORT NO.: CSD-05-06 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Program Division is responsible for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of community recreation and leisure programs and related services offered to the community through the Community Services Department. This report is intended to provide Members of Council with an update on the activities and highlights of the Program Division during 2005. 1.2 In 2005, this division offered the residents of Clarington over 1350 registered programs as well as numerous other recreation and leisure opportunities by way of drop-in programs, special events, memberships, public swims and recreational skating. Thp. Program Division has over 250 part-time staff positions, the majority of which are filled by local youth. These are positions of great responsibility as many parents entrust their children to our care. 2.0 AQUATICS PROGRAMS 2.1 HIGHLIGHTS, EMERGING TRENDS, ISSUES 2.1.1 Heat Relief Swims i) With an unusually hot summer, heat relief swims were an overwhelming success in terms of patrons using the pools to cool off. In 2005, the Community Services Department offered 16 Heat Relief Swims on days when the temperature reached 30 degrees Celsius or higher. ii) Staff will be reviewing the initiative/program in the upcoming months to ensure a high level of customer service is maintained for all users, including members who were unable to utilize the pool during the regularly scheduled adult or lane swims, when Heat Relief Swims were implemented. Options may include designated pools for Heat Relief Swims as to affect the daily operation as little as possible. 2.1.2 New Red Cross Swim Program i) After months of preparation, staff training and public education, Aquatic Winter registration in December marked the Municipality of Clarington's launch of the new RedGross Swim Program. Together with feedback from parents, instructors and trainers, the Red Cross swimming and water safety program underwent extensive revisions in order to better address the needs of today's parents and children, including health and fitness through swimming as life-long goals. 1053 REPORT NO.: CSD-05-06 PAGE 3 ii) Red Cross Swim Preschool, a new seven level program for children aged four months to five years, is where parents have seen the most significant change. Kids have responded with great enthusiasm to the new animal themes and mascots, which have been added to enhance learning in a fun environment. iii) Red Cross Swim Kids, a new ten level program for school aged children six and over, teaches competitive and survival strokes, building distance and speed, while focusing on making safe decisions in, on, and around the water. 2.1.3 Aquatic Staff Hiring i) Fall 2005 saw an unprecedented 20 new Instructors and Lifeguards hired to WVI K at the Courtice Community Complex and the Clarington Fitness Centre. These hirings made up nearly 40% of the staff compliment. As a result of high school now being a four year program instead of five years, staff anticipates this yearly turnover to become the norm. ii) Although all new employees come with the five required certifications for aquatic employment, it is the responsibility of the Aquatic Coordinator to further train, develop and mentor these young people in what is for many, their first job - a job that is full of enormous responsibility, and always in the eye of the public. iii) In an effort to reduce the time spent on hiring, training, developing and monitoring new staff in such large numbers, the Aquatic division of the Community Services Department is developing an Aquatic Volunteer and Mentoring program for 2006. This program would draw its participants from existing Aquatic Leadership and Lifesaving courses, and guide them through a variety of sessions to better prepare them for aquatic employment, including volunteer opportunities, attending staff training, lesson planning, and customer service. If successfully hired, these individuals would require much less time during the training process, and be stronger employees having had the benefit of the mentoring program. 2.2 PORTFOLIO STATISTICS i) Overall, registration in Aquatic programs at all Aquatic Facilities increased in 2005. In 2004, 4962 participants were registered in programs. This number increased to 5563 in 2005. This represents an increase of 11 %. ii) Number of users participating in public swims at the Outdoor Pools (Orono Park Pool and Newcastle Lion's Pool) also increased in 2005. In 2004, there were 4898 total users. In 2005, there were 7908 users. This 1054 REPORT NO.: CSD-OS-06 PAGE 4 represents an increase of 61.5%, largely due to the extreme weather conditions experienced this past summer. 3.0 FITNESS PROGRAMS 3.1 HIGHLIGHTS, EMERGING TRENDS, ISSUES 3.1.1 Fitness and Youth i) Today's youth are more sedentary than ever before, leaving them at greater risk for cardiovascular and other diseases. ii) Unlike earlier generations when play consisted of more active games and involved plenty of running, jumping, climbing and throwing, for most youth play has now become long hours spent in front of a television, video-game or computer. iii) Combine these low activity levels with too much fat in their diets and the youth of today are vulnerable to sickness and injury. Unhealthy lifestyle habits can follow them for the rest of their lives. iv) The Municipality of Clarington, through Report CSD-13-05, has taken a proactive step in the pursuit to provide youth with an avenue to achieving a healthy and active lifestyle. The Teen Fit Club was introduced in January 2006 and the program has been received so well and gained immediate popularity, a second timeslot was added and both classes sold out. v) As we move forward in broaching youth fitness initiatives, we look forward to incorporating inclusive youth programming in the fitness facility by way of introducing supervised programs to youth younger than 13. One focus of programming to youth of this age would be to involve their parents I guardians as well as their role models to living a healthy lifestyle. 3.1.2 Fitness and the Older Adult i) Since 2002, the Courtice Fitness Training Facility has been offering a fitness program geared towards adults 55 years and up, 55+ Strength Training. The program has se.rved as a tool for adults to become more comfortable in the fitness facility setting by familiarizing them with the proper use of the equipment, proper workout techniques, and indirectly setting the adults up with other "buddies" in a similar situation. ii) As older adults are becoming more fitness sawy, we have found a need to expand our older adult fitness program and have recently (Fall 2005) introduced a 55+ Spinning class to our schedule. This program has been 1055 REPORT NO.: CSD-OS-06 PAGE S very successful and we have seen many participants of a local Older Adult Cycling club join our program to remain in shape during the off-season. iii) There is a definite need to continually evaluate our program offerings for the older adult in an attempt to assist them in leading and maintaining healthy lifestyles. We look forward to increasing opportunities to offer our 55+ Strength Training program and continuing to work in partnership with the Clarington Older Adults Association to provide quality programs for older adults that meet the needs of our community. 3.2 PORTFOLIO STATISTICS i) We are pleased to offer several fitness membership types (including Adult, Youth, Senior, Corporate and Student) for various terms (1 month, 3 mon~" or Annual). Overall, registration in Fitness memberships at the Courtice Fitness Training Facility increased in 2005. In 2004, 1055 fitness memberships were sold. This number increased to 184p in 2005 (see Attachment #1). This represents an increase of 75%. ii) The number of registered participants in our Aerobics programs also increased overall from 2004 (394) to 2005 (436). This represents an increase of 6%. (see Attachment #2) iii) We are also pleased to offer a variety of fitness services to the fitness members and the public. These services include Fitness Assessments, Fitness Programs, Personal Training and Fitness Day Passes. We saw an increase in these services from 2004 (691) to 2005 (737) as well (see Attachment #3). This represents a 6% increase. 4.0 RECREATION PROGRAMS 4.1 HIGHLIGHTS, EMERGING TRENDS, ISSUES 4.1.1 High Five Program i) In the Fall of 2005 the Community Services Department became a Provisional Member of the Parks and Recreation Ontario High Five Quality Assurance Program. High Five is a provincial quality assurance program, designed to assist children along the path of healthy development Through the training of our staff and the provision of tools to assess best practices and overall program quality, we will be able to offer excellent programs that focus on quality and the child first approach. ji) We recently had 15 of our part-time staff attend the Principles of Healthy Child Development program. The program will become a pre-requisite for employment for all recreation program applicants effective summer 2006. 1056 REPORT NO.: CSD-OS-06 PAGE 6 This program is one ofthe first steps in achieving accreditation status. Through High Five's training modules, which have been designed to recognize levels of achievement within a quality continuum (see Attachment #4), we hope to attain the highest level of achievement in order to position the organization to be successful in attaining accreditation status. The quality assurance program and accreditation standards ensure that the organization is committed to healthy child development and accountable for quality recreation programs. 4.1.2 Program Delivery i) With the Municipality growing, it is important to address the community's needs as well as emerging trends in leisure activities. This past fall we intrG":uced Youth Ultimate Frisbee and it was very well received by the 14 registered participants. It is very important to review and assess our current programs attendance figures to determine if there is an increase or decline and take action if necessary. Our mobile skateboard program numbers have been steadily decreasing over the past two years; we have added a day camp component and made the skateboard camp a full day program. ii) In March 2005 we offered a Sports Camp during March Break for the first time. This program was well received and its success carried over to our summer Sports Camp as the numbers rapidly increased over the eight weeks of camp. We started in July with 23 children and by August we reached 47participants. . Hi) It is a necessity to constantly review the quality of our programs and occasionally infuse new energy into them to meet the growing demands of the public. 4.1.3 Youth Programs i) Presently the Municipality offers Drama, Hip Hop, Guitar, Ultimate Frisbee, Mobile Skateboard Drop-in and Basketball Drop-in to the youth of the community. While most of these programs are well attended there is always room to grow. In 2005 the Clarington Youth Advisory Council, in partnership with the Municipality hosted a CD release party for a local band known as No Alternative at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex.

In reviewing the final results of parking enforcement duties for 2005 it is readily apparent that there is a significant decrease in enforcement and revenues from 2004. Last year the downtown was under reconstruction and the parking meters on street were removed for several weeks. This resulted in a decrease in meter revenue and the number of tickets issued in the downtown. --~--In--m1d-6ctober staffingreturned-10-fall~trength-afterKim13irkett was-aPlJointedto- replace Stephen Marsh who had departed in August. Over the last few months staff have been replacing worn out and broken meters and staff anticipate a return to previous enforcement levels.

The coordinators provide extensive training, supervision and evaluation to all part-time staff in areas such as program specific skills, Health and Safety, Leadership Development, Customer Service and High Five Quality Assurance Program. Many of these young people will settle in our community and raise their families here. The skills, attitudes and values, such as leadership, teamwork, self-esteem and respect for the community, that they develop through their part-time experience are the skills, attitudes and values that they will bring to the community as future community leaders and volunteers. 6.2 The recent reduction of the secondary school program from five years to four years has h!:lrf a dramatic impact on part-time staffing. Coordinators are now dealing with Increased staff turnover as students move on to college and university a year earlier and a younger staff. This, plus the enhanced requirements for Health and Safety /WHMIS training, requires the coordinators to provide more training opportunities for the part-time staff. 6.3 Youth and Youth at Risk issues have become prominent within the GTA. Concerns once unique to Metropolitan Toronto are migrating to the surrounding GTA communities of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa. Clarington has the opportunity to learn from our neighbours and develop a proactive approach to youth programming. By reviewing the programs and services being offered by other recreation departments in Durham and the GT A we have the opportunity to identify positive partnerships to assist in the delivery of programs and services, consult with local service providers and agencies and take appropriate action for a proactive approach to youth programming. 6.4 The rapid growth being experienced in our community is also reflected in the growth of our volunteer community. It is appropriate that staff initiate a process to assess the needs of the volunteer community, identify training opportunities for volunteers and offer workshops, seminars etc. to enhance their skills and make their volunteer experience more rewarding and efficient. This goes hand in hand with Community Association Liaison and Community Group Liaison. Training could range from technical clinics in specific sports, to coaching clinics, to workshops on Running Effective Meetings, Fundraising, Time Management and Volunteer Recruitment. .

Inductees from previous years were invited to mix and mingle at.areceptionprior-to the Eagles hockey game and then were recognized at the game. The Alumni Night was very well received by those that attended and will become a regular feature of the Hall of Fame weekend. 5.2.3 Community Services Department Strategic Plan i) The Terms of Reference for the Community Services Department Strategic Plan were completed by year end. As the strategic plan will guide the provision and delivery of recreation and leisure services in a fiscally responsible manner over the next 5-10 years, the development of appropriate terms of reference were paramount and involved input from the entire department management team. 5.2.4 Community Development i) Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community. They are the difference between a town and a community. Through their involvement, they take ownership of their community. The outcome of this is; . enhanced quality of life . enhanced civic pride . cost savings to the municipality as volunteers assist with service delivery ii) This is especially true in the leisure services area as hundreds of volunteers are involved as executives, coaches, officials of sport associations and community groups. For many volunteers, their involvement is their form of recreation. As a department, we need to provide subtle guidance and support so that their needs, the community needs and the municipality's needs are all addressed. iii) Volunteer burn out is a serious problem today. With the growth of masters sports, adults continue to participate longer in their own activities leaving fewer bodies to contribute to the volunteer pool. Volunteers are juggling their commitment to their families, their jobs and their community. 1059 REPORT NO.: CSD-05-06 PAGE 7 4.2 PORTFOLIO STATISTICS i) Overall, registration in the 2005 Recreation programs was up slightly.

The Municipality of Clarington is experiencing a period of rapid growth in population and diversity. As more young families move into the new developments there is more demand for recreation and leisure opportunities. Some of this demand will be met through enhanced programs and services offered through the Community Services Department, however there will also be an increase in demand for sports leagues, arts and cultural groups and community associations. There will be a need to assist, facilitate, nurture and provide support and guidance to these new groups so that they can develop into efficient, productive community partners. A good example of this is the role the Community Services Department played in the development of the Clarington Minor Lacrosse Association and the ongoing role as staff liaison with the Clarington Older Adults Association. 5.2 HIGHLIGHTS, EMERGING TRENDS, ISSUES 5.2.1 Clarington Presents Brian McFarlane's Total Hockey i) The creation and subsequent implementation of the business plan, endorsed by Council last May, and the design and development of this exciting new facility were the key focus of this portfolio through 2005 and will continue to be a high priority through the upcoming year. Work is under way on identifying sponsorship opportunities, developing curriculum guidelines to enhance Total Hockey as an educational destination and networking and promoting the facility throughout the Region. 1058
