(Presentation was circulated by e-mail to all). Brian admitted that the agricultural sector is the least robust of all the work done to date. He indicated that it is now time to circle back and obtain the input to that sector to be able to have a more fulsome report. The effects of severe weather, trends in higher temperatures, less snowpack and rainer winters are being seen by the farming community. The ability to have fields drain into well maintained ditches is crucial. It is the infrastructure culverts, Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington 27 July 13, 2017 drainage, ditch cleaning and Transportation Network that are of great importance to farmers. Brain is looking for ways to connect with the Agricultural sector, suggestions were made to attend the local branch of the Ontario Soil and Crop group, Durham Farm Fresh, Durham Region Federation of Agriculture. The commodity groups cover larger geographical areas and also only meet once or twice a year. Farmers are busy people and linking into the existing activities they are already involved in would be the best way to connect with them. Additional suggestions included having the Clean Water Healthy Land Financial Assistance Program offered by GRCA in Clarington to be spread across the Region through all 5 CA's. The funding for this program comes from Durham Region and the effect of the small budget is great because of the matching funds required from the land owners and the ability to provide in-kind services. It is also these ongoing stewardship best management practices that will have large impacts.

Correspondence and Committee Reports Montgomery County's Agriculture Reserve — discussion on the article about the American Planning Award for the Agriculture Reserve polices and how the transfer of development rights. In Ontario there is no inherent right to a number of residential development units on any given property, rather there is much more involvement and direction from the Provincial Government on land use planning policy. However, the transfer of development rights has been used in urban situations for additional height or density in exchange for mostly historic buildings being protected. It is interesting to see how the transfer of development rights has worked for agricultural operations.

For Council Meeting of September 18, 2017 50 Page 4 Clarington Memo Planning Services Department If this information is required in an alternate format, please contact the Accessibility Co-ordinator at 905-623-3379 ext. 2131 To: Mayor and Member of Council Date: September 14, 2017 Subject: Request from Alpha Pre -Engineered Panel Systems incorporated for an exemption from the two year freeze on making an application to amend the Clarington Official Plan File: PC2017-046 At the September 11, 2017 Planning and Development Committee meeting the following resolution was passed: That the correspondence item 10.2, from Alpha Pre -Engineered Panel Systems Incorporated, concerning a request for a Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment at 2021 and 2033 Baseline Road, Courtice, be referred to the Director of Planning Services. Correspondence item 10.2 is a letter from Alpa Pre -Engineered Panel Systems Incorporated (Alpa) dated August 9, 2017. A copy of the letter is attached to this memo. The letter requests Council's permission to submit an Official Plan Amendment Application and a related Rezoning Application to facilitate an expansion to the company's existing business. Council's permission is required to allow Alpa to file an Official Plan Amendment Application because of a relatively new section of the Planning Act (section 22(2.1)) which states that "no person or public body shall request an amendment to a new official plan before the second anniversary of the first day any part of the plan comes into effect." Because OPA 107 was approved by the Region on June 19, 2017, a new OPA application is prohibited unless "council has declared by resolution that such a request is permitted" (subsection 22(2.2)). Alpa can file for a rezoning without any special exception because a similar 2 year freeze for rezoning applications does not apply in this case. However, the application would not conform to the Official Plan. Each request for Council to grant an exception like this should be considered on its own merits. The purpose of these sections of the Planning Act is to provide a timout after a comprehensive review to ensure that there would be greater compliance to a recently - approved Official Plan or Zoning By -Law and to prevent what could be viewed as an abuse of process where a landowner simply files an amendment at the end of a comprehensive review. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville ON L1 C 3A6 1905-623-3379 Page 12 Alpa purchased the former Millwork site at 2021 Baseline and has expanded their operations from their lands on Cigas Road. Alpa intends to purchase 2033 Baseline which is currently vacant land. The lands are located on the south side of Baseline Road at Rundle Road, just to the north of the proposed Automall and Go Rail layover site (Attachment 2). In this case, Council could authorize Alpa to be able to file an OPA application because the designation of their land is not something that was specifically addressed by Clarington Official Plan amendment 107. 2021 and 2033 Baseline Road were designated Light Industrial in the 1996 Official Plan and that has not changed. A Light Industrial designation allows limited outdoor storage, insufficient for their requirements. Alpa Pre utilizes materials and creates products that are bulky and are typically stored outdoors in a yard rather than indoors in a warehouse. (see photos from 2021 Baseline Road below) 4 Page 13 Council's decision to allow an OPA application to be filed cannot be construed as an indication of support for the proposal. This OPA application, if allowed, would be processed and reviewed in the same manner as any other. A satisfactory Planning Justification Report and other typical supporting documents would need to submitted in support of the application for review by staff and applicable commenting agencies. A Public Meeting would be scheduled upon receipt of a complete OPA application. Accordingly, we recommend that Council pass the attached resolution. (Attachment 3).

Alpa Lumber Group August 9, 2017 Mayor and Members of Council Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, ON LIC 3A6 Re: Application for Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment at 2021 & 2033 Baseline Road, Courtice Dear Mayor and Members of Council, I would .first like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to write you to address our concerns regarding the necessity of Council's resolution to permit the submission of an Official Plan Amendment application in less than two years following an updated Official Plan (OPA 107). Additionally, we also intend to submit a concurrent Rezoning application. We would like to give you some information about our company, our history and our future in the Municipality of Clarington. Alpa Pre -Engineered Panel Systems Inc. (Alps Pre) is a division of the Alpa Lumber Group which is a major supplier of raw and finished wood products to the building industry in and around the GTA. Alpa Pre designs and manufactures pre-engineered floor, wall and truss systems for the divisions of the Alpa group. These divisions spread throughout Southern Ontario; from Ottawa to Burlington and up to Cambridge. Alpa Pre commands a major portion of supply of panels to the building industry, while demand for our products increases exponentially every year. In February of 2011, Alpa Pre acquired an almost defunct company with 17 plant employees and 6 office employees. By 2015, we had increased the number employees in that facility to 100 plant employees and 12 office employees. In late 2015, we also purchased an abandoned facility at 2021 Baseline Road that had major drainage problems, making the property undesirable to other buyers. With much expense, we addressed the property's building and drainage issues. We also repurposed the building into our new floor manufacturing plant, and employed an additional 50 plant employees and 5 office employees. Between the 2 facilities, we currently employ a total of approximately 170 employees. A significant increase from the original 23 employees in 2011. Due to the lack of skilled labour in the carpentry field, the need for our products in the housing industry continues to increase. Therefore, the need for us to keep up with that demand forces us to increase production. We are doing this with our plans to construct additions to both our Cigas Road and Baseline Road facilities. Our proposed growth of our Baseline Road facility requires expansion onto abutting lands to the east (2033 Baseline Road), resulting in the need for this application. Obviously, the planned expansions of both facilities will require increased plant and office personnel, and many local contractors to aid in the construction. 17 Cigas Rd., Courtice, Ontario L1E 2T1 PH: 905-434-1900 FX: 905-434-9776 Page 1 Without this approval, we will run the risk of being unable to handle the demand from our customers and be forced to look at other opportunities. We took over an existing operation that would have otherwise gone bankrupt. We expanded the business to a point where we have more than quadrupled the number of employees and intend to continue growing. We ask that you consider that we are a member of the community in good standing that has enhanced the local businesses around us by providing them opportunities to quote and supply. We are good for the community, good for the local economy and ask that this application be allowed so we can continue to work together to grow our business. Description of the Proposal Alpa-Pre currently owns the lands municipally known as 2021 Baseline Road and the above mentioned indoor lumber panel manufacturing facility. Alpa Pre wishes to expand their operations to the abutting lands to the east (2033 Baseline Road) and construct an approximately 2,000 sq. m. easterly addition to the existing facility with the remainder of the lands to be used as outdoor storage. In order to do so, 2033 Baseline Road must be rezoned from (A) Agricultural to (M2) General Industrial to match the existing zoning for 2021 Baseline Road. Also, 2021 & 2033 Baseline Road are both designated Light Industrial in OPA 107. An Official Plan Amendment is required to re -designate the lands to General Industrial with a site-specific exception to permit the proposed outdoor storage. We also note that OPA 107 carried forward the existing Light Industrial designation from the previous Official Plan. Another purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to correct a discrepancy between the existing M2 General Industrial zoning and the preserved Light Industrial designation in OPA 107. Alpa-Pre conducted a Pre -Consultation meeting with Town Staff and applicable agencies on August 3, 2017. We are looking forward to working with staff to submit a proposal that is in the best interest of the Town, staff, residents, our employees and the future of our business in Clarington. erek Frankfort, z� General Manager Alpa Pre -Engineered Panel Systems Inc.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, Council hereby permits Alpa to file an application requesting that the Clarington Official Plan be amended to re -designate the lands at 2021 and 2033 Baseline Road to General Industrial and to permit the expansion of an employment use at 2021 Baseline Road onto the property at 2033 Baseline Road. 2. By granting permission to Alpa to make an Official Plan Amendment Application, Council is in no way expressing any opinion regarding the planning merits of the Application or any related application.
