2. Background
2.1 On September 14, 2015, the Durham Region Land Division Committee conditionally
approved an application to sever an existing Urban Residential lot located at 2394
Prestonvale Road to create two separate lots intended for a single-detached dwelling on
each lot. There was one existing single detached dwelling on the retained lot that was to
be removed prior to the removal of the (H) Holding Symbol.
2.2 As a condition of the consent approval, the applicant submitted an application for removal
of the (H) Holding and on September 21, 2016 fulfilled all conditions of the Land Division
approval with the exception of removing the existing dwelling and accessory buildings. A
clearance letter was forwarded to the Region of Durham on September 21, 2016.
2.3 Securities have been secured through the development agreement regarding the
construction of all internal and external works and services related to the land division.
2.4 The single detached dwelling on the subject lot was demolished in July 2017.
3. Staff Comments
3.1 The (H) Holding provision on the subject property has been in place since the adoption of
Zoning By-law 84-63 in 1984. At the time the Zoning By-Law was adopted, the (H)
Holding Symbol was placed on urban residential lands that had yet to be serviced.
3.2 The (H) Holding Symbol is a provision enabled by the Official Plan to ensure that certain
obligations have been considered prior to development and redevelopment of the lands.
Council must be satisfied that the provisions of the Official Plan are met prior to removing
the Holding symbol. The applicant has entered into a development agreement with the
Municipality and there are no concerns with lifting the ‘H’ symbol.
3.3 The existing dwelling has now been removed and both lots will be serviced by municipal
water and sanitary sewerage. The Urban Residential Type One (R1)” permits single-
detached dwellings. Both the severed and retained lots conform to the minimum lot area
of 450m2 and lot frontage requirements, 15m of the R1 zone.
3.4 All property taxes have been paid in full.
4. Concurrence
Not applicable.
5. Conclusion
In consideration of the comments noted above, approval of the removal of the (H) Holding
Symbol on the lands identified as 2394 Prestonvale Road, is recommended.
