Report Overview
Page 2
The Clarington Planning Services Department initiated a process to amend the Clarington
Official Plan and Zoning By-law 84-63 to permit a large floorplate warehouse and distribution
centre on lands located at 1200 Lambs Road in Bowmanville. These amendments are in
response to attracting a major employer, resulting in significant investment and new job
creation in Clarington. The amendments satisfy many objectives of Clarington's Strategic
Plan.
The lands are owned by East Bowmanville Industrial. A portion of the property (approximately
12 hectares) is under contract by Toyota Canada for the purposes of relocating their
warehouse and distribution centre facility to Clarington. The amendments would create a
suitable development parcel for the large floorplate required.
Provided that there are no significant concerns raised, it is recommended that the
amendments be approved.

4. Provincial Policy
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
Page 5
Settlement areas are the focus of growth and development. Appropriate land uses are
based on efficient use of land, resources and infrastructure.
Economic development and competitiveness is supported by an appropriate mix and
range of employment uses. Municipalities are to provide opportunities for a diversified
economic base, including maintaining a range and choice of suitable sites for
employment uses. The necessary infrastructure to support current and projected needs
shall be provided. Employment areas in proximity to major goods movement facilities and
corridors for employment uses that required those locations shall be protected.
Natural features shall be protected and appropriate stormwater management facilities
must be provided.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
Forecasted growth is directed to settlement areas on full municipal services. Complete
communities offer and support opportunities for all people to access an appropriate mix of
jobs, local store and services, housing, transportation and public service facilities.
Economic development and competitiveness in the Greater Golden Horseshoe is
supported by making more efficient use of vacant and underutilized employment lands
and increasing employment densities. Transit connections should be planned to major
employment areas. Municipalities may identify and protect prime employment areas
along major goods movement facilities and corridors, including major highway
interchanges.
Transportation policies of the Growth Plan support planning for multimodal access to all
land uses including employment areas. Municipalities will provide for priority routes for
goods movement to facilitate the movement of goods into and out of employment areas,
and provide alternate routes connecting to the provincial network.
Detailed storm water management plans must be completed, and must be informed by a
subwatershed plan or equivalent, incorporate integrated treatment including low impact
development techniques and green infrastructure and establishing planning, design and
construction practices to minimize environmental impacts.
The proposed amendments conform to the direction of the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe and will contribute to employment generation in the designated
Greenfield area.

Report PSD -056-17
5. Official Plans
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
Page 6
The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as "Employment Area".
Employment Areas are intended accommodate uses that may require access to the
highway, rail and/or shipping facilities, separation from sensitive uses, or may benefit
from locating close to similar uses. Uses permitted in this area may include
manufacturing, assembly, and processing of goods, service industries, research and
development industries, and warehousing.
The lands are within an identified area of High Aquifer Vulnerability and the south east
corner of the property is identified as a Key Natural Heritage Feature. Prior to
development, the Region's policies with respect to protection of features and groundwater
must be satisfied.
Lambs Road and Baseline Road are both identified as arterial roads. The Regional
Official Plan provides direction for access spacing and minimum road widths. Future road
widenings may be required.
The subject amendments conform to the Regional Official Plan.
5.2 Clarington Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands Business Park and
Environmental Protection Area.
Business Parks have prime exposure along Highway 401 and major arterial roads.
Development within Business Parks is intended for employment uses exhibiting the
highest standard of building design and landscaping in order to provide an attractive
appearance that reflects or takes advantage of such high visibility. Goals, objectives and
policies applicable to Business Parks shall be set out in Secondary Plans.
A minimum density target of 30 jobs per gross hectare is required adjacent to the
Highway 401 Corridor.
Environmental Protection Areas are to be preserved and protected. No development is
permitted in Environmental Protection Areas except for low -intensity recreation and uses
related to forest, fish and wildlife management or erosion control and stormwater
management. An Environmental Impact Study is required as part of development
applications to determine limits of features, buffers and mitigation techniques.
Lambs Road and Baseline Road are both identified as arterial roads, consistent with the
Region's Official Plan. Haines Street is a collector road. Similarly, Clarington's Official
Plan provides direction for access spacing and minimum road widths. Future road
widenings may be required. An Urban Trail is identified through the subject lands with
the precise alignment to be determined.
10
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -056-17
Page 7
The proposed amendments will continue to identify the Business Park lands to permit the
warehouse and distribution use, with adjustments to the Environmental Protection area
location and the realigned Bennett Creek, and implement the Urban Trail.
5.3 Clarington Technology Business Park Secondary Plan
The overall goal of the Secondary Plan is to promote innovation in the technology sector
in particular but not limited to the Life Sciences and Information and Communication
Technology industries. The Business Park will also demonstrate environmental
sustainability and excellence in design in its development.
The Secondary Plan provided for four types of development areas:
• Prestige Employment 1- along the Highway 401 Corridor
• Prestige Employment 2- along Baseline, Bennett and portions of Lambs Road.
• Light Industrial- generally east of Lambs Road, a transition to existing
industrial uses.
• Mixed use corridor- along Highway 2
Single use warehouses and distribution facilities, are not be permitted in any of the land
use designations.
The subject lands are currently designated a mix of Light Industrial and Prestige
Employment 2, with an Environmental Protection Area running through the site.
Light Industrial areas are designated in less visible areas of the plan area. These areas
generally cater for higher employment density and more truck traffic. Prestige
Employment 2 areas are intended for employment uses exhibiting a high standard of
building and landscape design, yet to a lesser degree than those found in Prestige
Employment 1 areas. Prestige Employment 2 will accommodate smaller lots and a
smaller percentage of landscaping than the Prestige Employment 1 area.
The Environmental Protection Area reflects the re-establishment and realignment of an
open space feature accommodating the Bennett Creek, being 30 metres in width.
Portions of this tributary were recently incorporated into tile drains by farm operations.
Recognizing the disturbance to the original natural heritage system, the Secondary Plan
provided for it to be relocated in the future grading of the site northerly to be
accommodated industrial lots fronting onto Baseline Road. This feature would link other
open spaces in the business park, contribute towards downstream fish habitat, and
accommodate a trail system.
The subject lands are within the catchment area of a centralized Stormwater
Management Facility proposed in the southwest corner of the Business Park.
Detailed road design policies are contained in the Secondary Plan.
11
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -056-17
Page 8
The Secondary Plan contains building and urban design policies to be implemented
through the detailed design and site plan process.
Several heritage properties are identified in the Business Park and development of and
around these properties must meet the objectives of the Clarington Official Plan regarding
heritage conservation and shall require the preparation of a Heritage Impact Assessment.
The proposed amendments will continue to contribute to the original objectives of the
Secondary Plan. The proposed major warehouse and distribution facility has the potential
to serve as a catalyst for further employment growth in the Business Park.
6. Zoning By-law
Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands a mix of Technology Park Light Industrial 3
(MP3) Zone, Technology Park Prestige 2 (MP2) Zone and Environmental Protection (EP)
Zone.
The Holding Symbol is also applied to the zones on the subject lands, and would be lifted
upon finalizing a site plan for the subject lands and meeting other criteria of the Official
Plan and Zoning By-law.
The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment would implement the proposed
amendment to the Clarington Official Plan and the Clarington Technology Business Park
Secondary Plan by adjusting the alignment of Bennett Creek and creating a suitable
development parcel for the proposed warehouse and distribution centre on the subject
lands.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 Proposed Channel Block Relocation, Aqualogic, August 2017
A preliminary assessment of the proposed relocation of the Bennett Creek alignment was
completed. It is noted that the area is highly altered by manmade adjustments to the
corridor (see Figures 4 and 5 for photographs of existing feature on the subject lands).
The assessment finds that the reconfigured Bennett Creek can be designed in a manner
to mitigate the additional bends in the alignment — changing from one ninety degree bend
to three ninety degree bends in the corridor on the subject lands. The report finds that the
drainage area is relatively small, the resultant flows are not extreme and adverse gradient
changes will not occur as the area is relatively flat.

The design of the watercourse can ensure the bends are moderated to the extent
possible, using naturalized channel design including wetland corridor elements.
Introducing pools at the 90 degree bends can assist in dissipating flows and reduce the
need for a large radius bend (see Figure 6).

8.1 A notice of the Public Meeting was mailed on July 19, 2017. The Notice was included in
the local newspaper and posted on the municipal website.
8.2 At the time of writing this report, one resident in the area contacted staff and attended the
Planning Services Department to obtain further information relating to the files. The
resident advised she was unable to attend the public meeting and followed up with an
email to staff, the Heritage Committee, the Museum and the Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario — Clarington Branch, to raise concerns about the protection of Prospect Cottage
at 1200 Lambs Road (Figure 7).

The resident's other comments relate to the overall planning of the secondary plan area,
including the protection of open space, impact to groundwater, availability of servicing,
stormwater management, and the extension of Baseline Road. A copy of the staff report
and proposed amendments were provided to the resident in advance of the public
meeting.
No further comments have been received.
9. Agency Comments
9.1 Regional Municipality of Durham
Regional Planning has no objection to the amendments. The subject lands are within the
Employment Area designation of the Durham Regional Official Plan which permits
warehousing.
During the site plan review process, the site must be cleared from site contamination and
archaeological concerns. A suitable site screening questionnaire and archaeological
assessment will be required.
The site is within a zone of high aquifer vulnerability and natural heritage features are
present. These will be studied further during the site plan review process to ensure no
negative impacts to these features.
Transportation including right-of-way widths, and pedestrian connectivity will be part of
the detailed review.
The development can connect to existing water and sanitary services along Baseline
Road. The developer will be required to pay the appropriate frontage fees for water and
sanitary services. The Region notes that the local sewer along Baseline Road will
eventually be replaced with a trunk sewer. At this time, the developer is not required to
extend sanitary services across the frontage, but can connect to the existing sanitary
sewer which ends at Haines Street.

Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -056-17
The Clarington Official Plan Amendment is exempt from Regional approval.
9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
Page 12
CLOCA staff have reviewed the proposed amendments and the memo for the Proposed
Channel Block Relocation, and have no objections.
CLOCA is satisfied with Aqualogic's conclusion regarding the reconfigured alignment of
Bennett Creek will function in a stable manner and have reasonable habitat features.
During the site plan stage, landscape plans must mitigate impacts to features and the
watercourse given Bennett Creek's location adjacent to Lamb's Road and Baseline Road.
10. Departmental Comments
10.1 Engineering Services Department, Operations Department, Fire and Emergency Services
and the Building Division have no objections to the principle of the development, and the
amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Internal departments will be involved
through the detailed design and site plan process.
11. Discussion
11.1 The Clarington Technology Business Park Secondary Plan was based on the creation of
a Business Park with a focus on life science, information and technology industries. The
Secondary Plan was approved in 2010, and development began with the Holburn Medical
Facility at 1100 Bennett Road. Since that time, the Holburn facility is occupied by health
and life science businesses and a future expansion is under investigation.
11.2 The lack of sanitary sewer service to the Park has inhibited development in the balance
of the Business Park. The subject lands are the only parcel that can immediately connect
to the existing sanitary sewer at the intersection of Baseline Road and Haines Street.
11.3 Distribution Centre Use
The Secondary Plan policies specifically prohibit warehouse and distribution uses. These
were not viewed as complementary uses to the life science, information and technology
industries. However, the subject lands comprise in part lands that were designated as
Light Industrial. This was seen as a transitional area between existing industrial uses
along Baseline Road and the new Business Park. Allowing a warehouse and distribution
facility at this location would be a good transitional use and will not compromise the
balance of the park development as was originally envisioned.
16
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD -056-17
11.4 Road Network Adjustments to permit Large Floorplate Use
Page 13
The Amendment to the Secondary Plan would delete a section of the local road network.
The north -south street that bisects the property in the secondary plan would not permit
the large footprint building. Staff have reviewed the need for the local street and while the
Secondary Plan policies provide for a ring road connecting all the lands within the
Business Park, deleting this section of road will not negatively impact transportation
circulation. A local road network is not needed with such a large use.
11.5 Realigning the Bennett Creek Restoration Area
The existing Environmental Protection designation and zone alignment through the
subject lands does not currently contain any natural features nor does it reflect the current
alignment of the Bennett Creek feature. Through the Secondary Plan process, an
alignment for the future daylighting of Bennett Creek was identified, in an effort to re-
establish the water course and create a connected open space system throughout the
Business Park.
The proposed realignment of the creek system, reflected in both the Official Plan and
Zoning By-law Amendments is feasible, subject to proper channel design as
recommended by Aqualogic and approved by CLOCA. This will include a meander belt,
natural erosion control measures and vegetation.
The revised alignment will have the effect of maintaining the existing channel and valley
system that crosses the southeast corner of the site (Figure 4). Staff will also request that
the applicant assess whether existing vegetation can be protected. Although this requires
a separate dedication of lands for a trail connection to Soper Creek, this realigned
channel continues to provide an open space connection through the Business Park
consistent with the original objective the Secondary Plan.
11.6 Heritage Building not Affected
Staff have reviewed the area resident's concerns about the protection of the farm dwelling
1200 Lambs Road as a heritage resource. The proposed development is located
approximately 250 metres away from the dwelling. The heritage buildings will remain
intact as part of the retained farm parcel and it is not directly impacted. A detailed
Heritage Impact Assessment is not required at this time, but will be a requirement at such
time the balance of the lands come forward with a development proposal.
11.7 Site Plan Process to Examine Detailed Development Issues
No objections or concerns have been received from circulated staff and agencies. Should
the amendments be approved, a detailed site plan review process would follow and the
site plan would be accompanied by several technical reports to address servicing,
stormwater management, design of Bennett Creek realignment, and urban design. The
site plan submission would also include the submission of detailed lighting and
landscaping plans in accordance with municipal guidelines.

11.8 Municipal Infrastructure Improvements
Page 14
Related major works that are ongoing and will require to be finalized alongside the future
site plan application are as follows:
Extension of Baseline Road to Bennett Road.
The Environmental Assessment for the extension of Baseline Road to Bennett Road
is underway and will be completed this Fall. The Municipality's capital works program
will be adjusted so that construction can be completed in time for the opening of the
distribution centre.
Improvements to Lambs Road.
Lambs Road will need to be upgraded from Baseline Road to the entrance to the site
to accommodate truck traffic. This work will be scheduled together with the Baseline
Road construction.
Dedication of future trail connection immediately north of the site between Lambs
Road and Haines Road will link to the Soper Creek trail system.
A 10 m wide strip of land from Haines Street to Baseline Road will be dedicated to
the Municipality of Clarington to facilitate a multi -use trail. This will be a condition of
site plan approval, and will facilitate the division of the subject lands from the balance
of the property. The future trail connection will serve as a trail and open space
connection between the existing Soper Creek Trail and the future trail along the
realigned Bennett Creek corridor.
On-site and off-site Stormwater Management Facilities.
Although a centralized stormwater management facility was identified in the Bennett
Creek Master Drainage Plan (MDP) to service the area the MDP also stated that
initial development in the area could occur with individual on-site facilities. In the
future the centralized stormwater management facility will be located north of
Highway 401, and west of Lambs Road, southwest of the subject lands. Preliminary
discussion with Conservation Authority indicate onsite stormwater management
controls are sufficient although an update of the MDP is to be undertaken to
determine how much additional development will trigger the need for the centralized
pond to address downstream capacity concerns. Completion of the update to the
Bennett Creek MDP will be required by the Conservation Authority but will not be a
requirement of the site plan process.
