Mr. Demczak mentioned that the intent for the proposed development is to not impact additional drainage or water run-off to existing properties. He stated that through the lighting plan, they plan to keep all lighting on the proposed development and therefore no light pollution will be projected on to the neighbours properties. Mr. Demczak spoke to the concerns raised of traffic, he advised the Committee that a traffic report has been submitted and will address the issues raised of turning and the intersection of Monroe Street and North Street. He explained that through the application, no trees will be removed on adjacent private properties. Mr. Demczak spoke to the concerns raised of the building being three storeys in height and the impact it will have on privacy.

This report seeks Council authorization for staff to commence the preparation of the Secondary Plan generally in accordance with the draft Terms of Reference. 1. Background 1.1 The Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan area is located generally between the Robinson Creek valley in the west and Hancock Road in the east. It extends from south of Bloor Street northward to Durham Highway 2. There are approximately 60 landowners within this Secondary Plan area. There is a mixture of parcel sizes within the Secondary Plan area, including larger farm parcels and residential lots. Figure 1: Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan Area 23 Municipality of Clarington PSD -011-18 Paae 3 1.2 Landowners met in mid -2017 to review the Secondary Plan process and determine participation. It was recognized that smaller residential properties would not be interested and willing to be bound by the legal and financial obligations associated with the Landowners Group.

The Landowners Group represents about 66 % of the Secondary Plan Area ownership. The Official Plan policy requires ownership representing generally 75 % of the developable land within the Secondary Plan area. The intent of this policy was to ensure that a critical mass of landowners were participating. Therefore, staff is satisfied that the Landowners Group has met the intent of the Policy. 1.4 The Landowners Group is represented by a Trustee. Delta Urban Inc. (DUI) has been retained as the Group Manager and is the lead consultant representing the Landowners Group. 1.5 The Landowners Group and staff have met regularly for the past six months to discuss the Secondary Plan process as well as the Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek Subwatershed study. The Landowners Group has agreed to fund 50% of the cost of the Subwatershed Study including staff resources. The funding agreement with the Trustee for the Landowners Group was executed in December 2017. 1.6 The Landowners Group has a submitted a letter (See Attachment 1) to request the Municipality commence the preparation of the Secondary Plan and draft Terms of Reference for the Secondary Plan. As noted in this request to initiate, the Landowners Group has committed to funding 100% the preparation of the Secondary Plan including staff resources. 2. Secondary Planning Process 2.1 Getting Authorization for a Privately -Initiated Secondary Plan 2.1.1 The Clarington Official Plan provides policy direction for the preparation of a privately initiated Secondary Plan. In summary the process is as follows: 1) Consultation with municipal staff and the establishment of the Landowners Group. 2) Receipt of a Request to Initiate a Secondary Plan and a proposed Terms of Reference. 24 Municipality of Clarington PSD -011-18 Page 4 3) Public Meeting and a Decision of Council to initiate the preparation of the Secondary Plan. 4) If Council decides to proceed with the Secondary Plan process, the Municipality will retain the necessary consultants. 5) All costs associated with the process, planning staff time, consultants and project and administration of the Secondary Plan are to be covered 100% by the landowners group. 6) Work will only be initiated once a funding agreement is in place between the Trustee for the Landowners Group and the Municipality. 2.1.2 Staff met on numerous occasions with a number of the landowners prior to the formation of the Landowners Group and have met regularly since the group was incorporated and a Trustee appointed. 2.1.3 In November, the Landowner Group requested that the Municipality initiate the Secondary Plan. A draft Terms of Reference was included in the request. The Terms of Reference submitted by the Landowners Group was circulated to various Municipal Departments as well as external agencies. Comments received from the agencies will be incorporated in the final Terms of Reference as appropriate. 2.1.4 In anticipation of Council's authorization to commence, the Landowners Group has submitted a draft Funding Agreement for the Secondary Plan to staff for review. 2.2 Summary of the Draft Terms of Reference 2.2.1 Similar to the Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan, the draft Terms of Reference has incorporated a `green lens' approach to development. All studies and the Secondary Plan will be required to include details of how development in the Secondary Plan area will meet Council policies. In particular the goal over time is to reach net zero communities and the techniques that will be employed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 2.2.2 The draft Terms of Reference are highly integrated with the Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek Subwatershed Study, as a substantial portion of the Subwatershed Study must be completed before any preliminary land uses can be contemplated in the Secondary Plan. The Subwatershed Study work plan has made reciprocal provisions. 25 Municipality of Clarington PSD -011-18 Paae 5 2.2.3 The draft Terms of Reference integrates the Secondary Plan process with several other major initiatives in the area including the Courtice Employment Lands Secondary Plan and the related Transportation Hubs Study for the Courtice GO Station. The draft Terms of Reference incorporate Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for major roads such that the need and general alignment will be established as part of the Secondary Plan process. 2.2.4 Public participation will be integrated throughout the draft Terms of Reference. Consultant Proposals will evaluated on their commitment to the Municipality's online media program. The recommended public participation will begin with a number of visioning sessions with the landowners, agencies, interested citizens and the business community regarding emerging trends in sustainable neighbourhood design, energy efficient development practices, and transit supportive land uses. Public Information Sessions will be held at specific stages of the planning process. These public participation requirements are in addition to any statutory Open House and Public Meeting requirements under the Planning Act. 2.2.5 The draft Terms of Reference contemplates this project being led by a Steering Committee. Although not yet finalized, it is anticipated that the Steering Committee will include Municipal, Region of Durham and CLOCA staff, Delta Urban project manager, landowner representatives and the lead consultant. 2.2.6 Should Council decide to proceed with the Secondary Plan, staff will issue a Request for Proposal to engage a team of consultants to undertake the Secondary Plan. 3. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that Council authorize staff to undertake the preparation of the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan. 4.

Introduction 1.1 Study Area The Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan (SECSP) Study Area is illustrated in Figure 1 and is located within both the Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek Watersheds. DD o � D4rh N gh Q �? 0 o Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan Area A CL U a m 0 Bloor Street F°- o� - L 0U 0 N PLN 41.10 Figure 1: Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan Area 1.1 Secondary Plan Priorities The purpose of the study process is to create a Secondary Plan that conforms to and implements the Clarington Official Plan, the Durham Region Official Plan, Provincial Policies and Plans. It will also follow the recommendations from the Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek Subwatershed Plans. 31 The Secondary Plan will address these five priorities: Sustainability and Climate Change Clarington Council adopted a sustainable, "green lens" approach to development throughout the Official Plan. This Secondary Plan will address the criteria developed for Secondary Plans in Clarington's Green Development Program and will be guided by the Priority Green Development Framework. An excerpt from the Priority Green Development Framework for Secondary Plans can be found in Appendix B to this draft Terms of Reference. It is intended that sustainable development principles and practices shall be infused into every part of the Secondary Plan, including the design of neighbourhoods and arrangement of land uses. The requisite studies and the resultant Secondary Plan shall include measureable targets to move towards a net zero community. Urban Design The goal for any new development is that it celebrates and enhances the history and character of Clarington. New neighbourhoods are to be created with a sense of place and all development should result in a high quality design. Excellence in urban design will consider elements like building design, complete streets, views, park connectivity, sun and shadow impacts, and active transportation as well as the integration of green infrastructure in neighborhood design. Affordable Housing Clarington Council, through Official Plan policy supports the provision of a variety of housing types, tenure and costs for people of all ages, abilities and income groups. The Clarington Official Plan encourages a minimum of 30% of all new housing built in Urban Areas to be affordable. The Secondary Plan must reflect this policy and demonstrate how this Secondary Plan area contributes to meeting Council's affordable housing target. Community Engagement Clarington Council is committed to community consultation and engagement. The preparation of this Secondary Plan will be supported by a thorough public engagement strategy to include a range of public consultation initiatives. These efforts will be in addition to any statutory meetings requirements. Coordination of Effort An Environmental Assessment (EA) will be required for all new major (collector and arterial) roads required for the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan. All public notices, communications and review periods will be designed to ensure that they 4 32 conform to the requirements of both the Planning Act and Municipal Class EA. This will avoid confusing the public with multiple messages and focus Municipal resources more effectively. 1.2 Related Studies The following studies are or will be undertaken at the same time as the SECSP and must be incorporated as part of the study process. Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek Subwatershed Study The SECSP study area is located within the watersheds of the Robinson Creek and Tooley Creek. The Municipality of Clarington has initiated a Subwatershed Study (SWS) for these combined watersheds. Each phase of the SECSP study will integrate and be responsive to the findings of the SWS with regard to natural systems. The SWS will include the preparation of a Master Drainage Plan for the subwatersheds including an implementation plan for the preferred land use plan created through the SECSP study. Courtice Employment Land Secondary Plan The Courtice Employment Lands (CEL) are located adjoining to, and immediately south of, the SECSP study area. The Municipality of Clarington will be undertaking a Secondary Plan study for the CEL at the same time as the SECSP. A collector road will form the boundary between the two Secondary Plan Areas. The SECSP study and its integrated EA will take the lead in establishing the alignment of this collector road. The SECSP will coordinate with the CEL Secondary Plan study to ensure that land uses and policies along the border of these two plans are complementary. Transportation Hubs Study — Courtice GO Station There is a future GO Transit Rail Station along the west side of Courtice Road within the Courtice Employment Lands to the south of the SECSP area. The analysis of the Transportation Hub Study for the Courtice GO Station will be incorporated into the CEL Secondary Plan. The SECSP study will establish land uses, policies and mobility/connectivity options that respond and complement the recommendations from the Transportation Hub study. 5 33 2. Scope of Work The scope of work will proceed in four Phases. Phase 1: Background and Analysis Report The initial phase will involve a detailed technical analysis of the area including servicing, infrastructure and initial public participation. Phase 2: Urban Design and Sustainability Principles and Alternative Land Use Plans This phase will present alternative land use plans based on urban design and sustainable principles and best practices along with the input from the public and guided by the Steering Committee. This phase will utilize a charrette process to refine the Principles and Alternative Land Use Plans. Phase 3: Preferred Land Use Plan for the Southeast Courtice Area Based on the preceding analysis and public engagement a Preferred Land Use Plan will be developed for the Secondary Plan area. Once the Land Use Plan has been refined the remaining studies can be completed that will support the recommended Land Use Plan. Phase 4: Final Draft Secondary Plan and Adoption by Council The recommendation phase will include the preparation of drafts of the Secondary Plan, the implementing zoning by-law and implementing urban design and sustainability guidelines. This phase includes the statutory meetings prior to Council to making a decision. 3. Phase 1: Background and Analysis Report 3.1 Project Kick-off Public Information Centre The Secondary Plan will begin with a public information centre (PIC) facilitated by the Consultant. This PIC will give the public an opportunity to be formally introduced to the project, process and invite them to share their interest and ideas for the Secondary Plan area. This meeting will also be advertised as the initiation of the EA process for the future collector and arterial roads. 3.2 Background and Analysis Reports In this Phase, the following studies/tasks will commence. Not all will be completed in Phase 1 as they may require additional input from subsequent phases. However, it is expected that draft reports will be complete at the end of this phase. A summary of the scope of work for each study or task is provided in Appendix A. 6 34 x Prepare a Subwatershed Study Integration Schedule x Review of existing planning documents and studies x Prepare a Planning Background Report x Prepare a Landscape Analysis x Prepare a Functional Servicing Report x Conduct a Transportation Needs Analysis x Prepare an Agricultural Impact Evaluation x Prepare a Sustainability Plan and Green Development Principles x Conduct a Commercial Analysis x Conduct an Archeological and Heritage Analyses The Subwatershed Study Integration Schedule will be prepared in Phase 1 to help identify when in the Secondary Plan process integration with the Subwatershed Study is necessary. 3.3 Environmental Assessment (EA) An Environmental Assessment (EA) for new major (collector and arterial) roads required to service the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan area will be undertaken as part of the Secondary Plan process. The EA will proceed through the Integrated Approach as set out in Section A.2.9 and Appendix 8 of the Municipal Class EA, 2015. These roads are subject to Schedule C of the Municipal Class EA. The consultant's proposal must satisfy the requirements of sections A.2.9.4, A.2.9.5, and Appendix 8 of the Municipal Class EA, including: x Clear indication on project notices and communications that an integrated approach is being used; x Extended public review periods that cover the requirements of both the Planning Act and MCEA; x Preparation of a document to support the Planning Act application demonstrating how the MCEA process was satisfied; and x Issuance of a Notice of Study Completion for the MCEA process. 3.4 On-line Community Engagement A variety of different stakeholders will need to be engaged throughout the process. To complement the public information centres, public meetings and workshops outlined in these terms of reference, the Municipality will provide the online engagement tools available through "Bang the Table" platform (http://www.bangthetable.com/engagementhq/engagement-tools/). The Proponents will select the appropriate tools from the "Bang the Table" toolkit, such as visual preference surveys and forums, and include them in their work plan. The Proponent will be responsible to provide the related content for these tools. In addition to the engagement tools listed above the Proponent is encouraged to propose its own engagement strategies. 7 35 3.5 Opportunities and Constraints Analysis Based on the preliminary analysis and conclusions of the technical reports noted above and public input received, the consultant will prepare a detailed opportunities and constraints analysis. 3.6 Public Information Centre including Municipal EA requirements The consultant will present the Opportunities and Constraints Analysis at a public information centre.

Phase 3: Preferred Land Use Plan 5.1 Selection of Preferred Land Use Plan for the Southeast Courtice Area The consultant shall apply the Urban Design and Sustainability Principles developed in Phase 2 to the evaluation of the alternative land use plans. The Preferred Land Use Plan may not necessarily be one of the specific alternative land use plans prepared in Phase 2 but rather a hybrid of elements of the various land use plans. The Preferred Land Use Plan will be the basis for the Impact Assessment and Stormwater Management Plan work in the Subwatershed Study. 5.2 Meeting with the Steering Committee on Evaluation of Preferred Land Use Plan The consultant will present the Preferred Land Use Plan to Municipal Staff/Steering Committee wherein a general concurrence and agreement to proceed should be reached. 5.3 Selection of the Preferred Land Use Plan Based on discussions with the Municipal Staff/Steering Committee, the consultant shall refine the selected option. 5.4 Preparation of Final Supporting Materials 5.4.1 Transportation Network and Report The consultant shall finalize the transportation network based on the preferred land use plan and finalize the Transportation Report to fulfill the requirements of Phase 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process. 5.4.2 Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines The Consultant shall prepare the Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines that will be included as an appendix to the Secondary Plan. 5.4.3 Functional Servicing Report The consultant shall finalize the servicing plan, phasing plan and costing schedule based on the preferred land use plan and finalize an accompanying Functional Servicing Report. The preferred land use concept will be the basis of the SWS team's preparation of a Storm Water Management Plan. This plan will be integrated with the Functional Servicing Report for the SECSP. 10 38 5.4.4 Fiscal Impact Study The preferred land use concept will be the basis of a Fiscal Impact Study for the build out of the SECSP area. The Municipality will hire a Consultant to prepare this analysis independent of this project. 5.5 Draft Secondary Plan Policies The consultant will prepare the necessary policies that will, together with the Preferred Land Use Plan, form a Draft Secondary Plan for South -East Courtice. 5.6 Draft Zoning By-law A draft zoning by-law will be prepared that implements the Secondary Plan policies. 5.7 3D Demonstration Plan The consultant will prepare a 3D model as a draft Demonstration Plan of the build out of the SECSP area that reflects the Preferred Land Use Plan and proposed draft policies. 5.8 Public Information Centre The consultant shall present the Preferred Land Use Plan, draft demonstration plan and draft policies for the SECSP to the public. The recommended Major Roads Plan will be presented to complete the Class EA component of the study. 5.9 Deliverables for Phase 3 x Preferred Land Use Plan x Transportation Network and Report (consistent with Phase 1 and 2 of Municipal Class Environmental Assessments) x Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines x Functional Servicing Report x Fiscal Impact Study x Draft Secondary Plan x Draft Zoning By-law x 3D Demonstration Plan x Public Information Centre 11 39 6. Phase 4: Final Draft Secondary Plan Preparation and Adoption by Council This Phase will focus on preparing the final documents for the statutory public process and Council decision. The consultant will prepare the final Draft Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan and any Official Plan Amendments if required. The consultant will present the final draft documents at the statutory open house and public meetings. 6.1 Deliverables for Phase 4 x Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan including schedules (land Use, transportation, parks and open space) supporting SECSP policies; o Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines as Appendix to the Secondary Plan x Official Plan Amendment x Zoning By-law (the statutory process for the Zoning By-law will follow Council's adoption of the Secondary Plan) 7. Project Management The consultant's proposed work plan needs to include the number of meetings necessary for the Steering Committee to review draft technical reports, presentations, surveys or any other product as part of this process. Sufficient time should be allowed for the Steering Committee members to review and arrive at a decision. The Planning Services Department will be responsible for the overall project management, administration, and day to day operations. The project will be fully funded by the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group Inc. 7.1 Steering Committee x The Steering Committee will be composed of: x fTe lead Consultant x Municipal Staff representing key departments.

The Commercial Analysis shall include the appropriate technical planning and market study components to establish the current overall supply of floor space in the Courtice Urban Area and the justification for space needs in the Study Area. 10. Archaeological and Heritage Analyses This Component shall include the following: x Undertake an analysis of archaeological potential (Stage 1 Archaeological Assessments as per the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation). x Undertake an historical analysis of all existing structures within the Study Area, including review of the Municipality of Clarington's Heritage Inventory, and establish the historical importance, if any, of the structures. x Identify those heritage features that warrant preservation. Prepare a strategy for the incorporation of heritage structures into the SECSP. In completion of this task, the consultant shall consult with Clarington Heritage Committee. 17 45 Appendix B — Priority Green Development Framework The Sustainability Plan and Green Development Standards will demonstration how, at a minimum, the criteria for Secondary Plans established in the Priority Green Clarington Development Framework and Implementation Plan are addressed, and how the Secondary Plan can support moving towards net zero communities that are resilient to the potential impacts of climate change. The four themes that represent the core elements of a sustainable community and are addressed by the Priority Green Clarington — Green Development Framework and Implementation Plan are: Built Environment The built environment is the constructed physical environment in which we live, work and play each day. It considers the design and layout of a neighbourhood, including land use mix and diversity, and the interaction of the buildings, road systems and other infrastructure that we encounter. Mobility Mobility is about reducing vehicle dependency and offering choices for residents to travel in to, out of and through neighbourhoods each day. It speaks to facilitating active transportation in order to reduce pressure on Clarington's transportation network and reduce emissions from entering the environment, while contributing to human health and well-being. Natural Environment & Open Space This theme seeks to protect and enhance ecologically significant components of Clarington's natural heritage system, to encourage design that works with natural conditions and gains benefit from the environmental, economic and social benefits of the natural landscape, and promotes linkages to a diverse range of open spaces, parks and recreation facilities. Infrastructure & Buildings Green neighbourhoods strive to use resources more efficiently, leading to potential cost savings. This theme identifies means to maximize energy and water conservation, minimize the consumption of resources, and contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Background Paae 3 2.1 Amendment 107, a comprehensive update to the Official Plan, was approved by the Region of Durham on June 19, 2017. In order to submit the Clarington Official Plan Amendment application Alpa Pre -Engineered Panel Systems Inc. required Council's permission to accept the application within two years of the comprehensive update. Council approved the applicant's request on September 18, 2017. 2.2 The applicants have owned and operated their pre-engineered panel manufacturing business from 17 Cigas Road in Courtice since February 2011, expanding to this location in 2015. Prior to the applicants owning the property it was occupied by a truss manufacturing company. The applicants submitted a site plan application for 2021 Baseline Road in March of 2017 for the existing stormwater management infrastructure on the site. A stormwater pond was constructed without approval and impacted the Canadian Pacific Railway. There remain a number of stormwater management issues and the site plan has not been finalized at the time of writing this report. 2.3 The applicants are looking to expand the existing business onto the abutting property to the east, 2033 Baseline Road. Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications were received on November 20, 2017. Figure 1: Proposed expansion of the existing business at 2021 Baseline Road.

Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement requires municipalities to promote economic development by providing an appropriate mix and range of employment uses and providing opportunities for a diversified economic base. Employment areas shall support a wide range of economic activities and ancillary uses. 4.2 Growth Plan 4.2.1 The Growth Plan 2017 promotes economic development and competitiveness in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Municipalities are to promote more efficient use of existing employment areas, vacant and underutilized employment lands, and increasing employment densities. 51 Municipality of Clarington PSD -012-18 Paae 6 4.2.2 The Growth Plan requires upper tier municipalities to set a target for employment densities that reflects the current and anticipated type and scale of employment that characterizes the employment areas. Municipalities may identify prime employment areas within their Official Plan which are employment areas for uses that are more land extensive or have low employment densities. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Region Official Plan 5.1.1 The subject sites are designated "Employment Areas" in the Regional Official Plan. Employment Areas are intended to accommodate a full range of employment uses such as, but not limited to: manufacturing, warehousing, offices, and the storage of goods and materials. 5.1.2 The Region of Durham has set a target ratio of jobs to population of 50% or one job for every two persons in employment areas for the Region as a whole. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan 5.2.1 The subject lands are designated Light Industrial in the Clarington Official Plan and are within the Greenfield Area. The Light Industrial designation permits manufacturing, fabricating and assembly uses; however, the policies direct the uses to generally be conducted within a building and restricts outdoor storage. The Light Industrial designation permits a maximum of 25% of the total gross floor area of the building as outdoor storage space. The General Industrial designation permits manufacturing, fabricating and assembly uses as does the Light Industrial designation but allows outdoor storage up to 100% of the total gross floor area. In both cases outdoor storage areas are to be located at the rear of the property and appropriately screened. 5.2.2 In order to expand the business to the adjacent property to the east the applicants are proposing to designate both properties General Industrial with a site specific policy for their outdoor storage requirements. 5.2.3 The Official Plan sets a target of achieving one job for every three residents in Clarington by 2031 and to accommodate 50% of the forecasted employment growth within designated employment areas. The Plan also targets a gross density of 50 jobs per gross developable area in Greenfield Areas. 5.2.4 Baseline Road is designated as a Type C Arterial Road. 52 Municipality of Clarington PSD -012-18 6. Zoning By-law Paae 7 6.1 2021 Baseline Road is currently zoned General Industrial (M2) and 2033 Baseline Road is currently zoned Agricultural (A). The existing industrial use meets the permitted uses of the M2 zone. 6.2 A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit the proposed industrial use expansion on 2033 Baseline Road. The amendment would rezone the property from "Agricultural (A) Zone" to an appropriate zone that would permit the industrial development. 7. Public Notice 7.1 Public notice was mailed to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject lands on December 21, 2017 and Public Meeting signs were installed fronting onto Baseline Road and Rundle Road on December 28, 2017. 7.2 Staff have not received any comments at the time of finalizing this report. 8. Agency Comments 8.1 Durham Region Comments from Durham Region Planning, Works, Health and Transportation have not been received at the time of finalizing this report but will be included in a subsequent report. 8.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Comments from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority have not been received at the time of finalizing this report but will be included in a subsequent report. 8.3 Other Agencies Comments from CP Rail and Hydro One have not been received at the time of finalizing this report. Enbridge provided comments that they had no objections to the proposed applications. 9. Departmental Comments 9.1 Engineering Services Department The Engineering Services Department, including the Building Division, has no objections, in principle, to the applications for Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment. However, a number of comments have been provided that will need to be addressed through site plan approval, should the initial applications be approved. Prior to any development of the subject lands the applicant/owner will be required to address the 53 Municipality of Clarington PSD -012-18 Paae 8 following areas of concern to the satisfaction of the Engineering Services Department through application for site plan approval: x Traffic; x Road Dedication; x Road Improvements; x Grading; x Drainage; x Stormwater Management; x Entrance Construction; and x Noise Attenuation. 9.2 Emergency and Fire Services Department The Emergency and Fire Services Department has no objections to the applications provided the Ontario Building Code requirements are met and the outdoor storage of materials meet the Ontario Fire Code requirements. These issues will be addressed through the Site Plan process. 10. Discussion 10.1 The existing business at 2021 Baseline Road has been operating there since 2015 and prior to that a truss manufacturing company occupied the lands. The applicant's business is the design and manufacturing of pre-engineered floor, wall and truss systems. The manufacturing of the product occurs within the existing building but requires a significant amount of outdoor storage for products until they are shipped offsite, as well as storage of lumber used in the manufacturing. 10.2 The proponent has calculated outdoor storage area of 11,200 m2 based on the storage piles shown on the preliminary site plan. This would be 23 percent of the site. There are two problems with this calculation: x the stacking areas shown do not fully utilize the area set aside for storage; and x outdoor storage should be calculated to include the areas required to maneuver the product (drive aisles) and to comply with the Ontario Fire Code. Staff calculate that the outdoor storage area is approximately 25,000 m2. 10.3 The Clarington Official Plan has the following limits on outdoor storage: xLight Industrial — 25 percent of the total gross building area. xGeneral Industrial — 100 percent of the total gross building area. 54 Municipality of Clarington PSD -012-18 Paae 9 According to staff's calculation, the area for outdoor storage would be the equivalent of 636 percent of the total gross building area or greater than 50 percent of the total site area. 11. Concurrence Not Applicable. 12. Conclusion The purpose of this report is to provide background information on development applications submitted by Alpa Pre -Engineered Panel Systems Inc. for the Public Meeting under the Planning Act. Staff will continue processing the application including the preparation of a subsequent report upon resolution of the identified issues. 13. Strategic Plan Application Not applicable.

The proposed draft plan of subdivision would create 1 block (0.263 hectares) for 12 townhouse units to be developed together with adjacent Kaitlin lands previously zoned. The overall townhouse development would yield a total of 112 townhouse units on a private lane network. The rezoning application proposes to place these lands in appropriate zones to permit the requested townhouse development. 1. Application Details Owner/Applicant: WED Investments Ltd. Proposal: Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision To create 1 medium density block (0.263 ha) for 12 townhouses to be developed together with adjacent lands yielding a total of 112 condominium townhouse units on a private lane network. Rezoning To place lands in appropriate residential zone to permit the requested townhouse development. Area of Draft Plan of Subdivision: 0.264 hectares Location: Lands located on the east side of Green Road, between the extension of Clarington Boulevard and Prince William Drive, Bowmanville (Part of Lot 16, Concession 1, Former Township of Darlington) Roll Number: 1817 010 020 16900; 1817 010 020 16800; and, 1817 010 02017000 Within Built Boundary: Yes 2. Background 2.1 Kaitlin has been acquiring lands and proposing a 112 unit townhouse development on the east Side of Green Road between Clarington Boulevard and Prince William Boulevard. The ownership has been acquired in stages but the site was comprehensively designed as one development being marketed as MODO North. 57 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-18 Page 3 2.2 The proposed development and the stages of the applications are shown on Figure 1. x Block 1 - 76 townhouse units previously zoned by Council on March 20, 2017 x Block 2 - 24 townhouse units currently under review and was the subject of a public meeting on June 6, 2016. x Block 3 - 12 townhouses on the balance of the lands more recently acquired and the subject of this public meeting i Block 3 (12 Townhouse Units) Future.5 Existing Commercial Use's Limit of Proposed 112 Condominium Townhouses Prince William Boulevard 0 Zoning Previously ,! ,b Approved For Townhouse Units Proposed Wigh Density Development Approved Apartment Under Construction SC Figure 1: Key Map The ownership for each of the blocks, shown on Figure 2, are all Kaitlin companies or owners.

The plan of subdivision has been final approved and registered. Since Kaitlin anticipates proceeding with a common element condominium for the townhouses, the newly acquired lands must be a block in a plan of subdivision. Accordingly a one block plan of subdivision is proposed for Block 3. 2.4 The current zoning and plan of subdivision applications for the lands shown as Block 3 were deemed complete on December 5, 2017. 2.5 Kaitlin proposed adjustments to provisions of the R3-52 Zone include: x Adding semi-detached unit as a permitted use — there is one semi-detached unit proposed within the site plan; and x Adjust some setback regulations for individual townhouse units. 59 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-18 Page 5 2.6 Given the layout of the site plan area, there may be limited units that require unit specific relief from the R3-52 Zone. This will be further reviewed and refined, as needed, through the finalization of the site plan application and will be addressed in a future staff report. 3.

Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement Page 6 4.1.1 The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure. 4.1.2 Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification must be promoted. Municipalities must provide a variety of housing types and densities, and a range of housing options that are affordable to the area residents. 4.1.3 Healthy and active communities should be promoted by planning public streets to be safe, meet the needs of pedestrians, foster social interaction and facilitate active transportation and community connectivity. Compact and diverse developments promote active modes of transportation such as walking and cycling. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan 4.2.1 The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe was amended in May 2017 and all decisions of Council after July 1, 2017 must conform to the amended policies. The Growth Plan provides for more direction on densities in and around GO station areas in support of transit investment. 4.2.2 The subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new growth to the built up areas through intensification and efficient use of existing services and infrastructure. 4.2.2 The development of complete communities is encouraged by promoting a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment and housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and services. New transit -supportive and pedestrian -friendly developments will be concentrated along existing and future transit routes. A minimum of 40 percent of all residential development occurring annually within each upper tier municipality will be within the built up area. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan 5.1.1 The subject lands are within a Regional Centre. Regional Centres provide a full array of institutional, commercial, major retail, residential, recreational, cultural, entertainment and major office uses. Regional Centres function as places of symbolic and physical interest for the residents, and shall provide identity to the area municipalities within which they are located. 61 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-18 Page 7 5.1.2 Regional Centres shall support an overall, long-term density target of at least 75 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index of 2.5. 5.1.3 Development in Regional Centres shall be based on the following principles: xCompact urban form which is transit -supportive; xProvides a mix of uses and opportunities for intensification; xFollows good urban design principles with focus on public spaces and pedestrian connections, with parking located to the rear or within buildings; and xEnhances grid connections for pedestrians and cyclists. 5.1.4 The Bowmanville Regional Centre is designated as a Transportation Hub, which will provide transfers between different modes of transit service. Development within approximately 500 metre radius or 10 minute walk should be mixed use or at higher density to support future transit services. 5.1.5 Green Road is identified as Type B Arterial Road and private access points are generally spaced a minimum of 80 metres apart in Urban Areas. As the site is adjacent to an arterial road and proximate to the railway, noise and vibration impacts must be mitigated in accordance with Ministry of Environment guidelines. 5.1.6 As the lands are within the Built Boundary, on an annual basis, urban areas across the Region shall be planned to accommodate a minimum 32 percent of all residential development occurring annually through intensification within built-up areas. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan 5.2.1 The lands are designated Urban Centre and are within Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan area. The West Town Centre has a housing target of 3041 units, including 2557 high density units and 484 medium density units. 5.2.2 Urban Centres will be planned and developed as a centre of regional significance providing the highest level of retail and service uses and are the primary focal point of cultural, community, recreational and institutional uses in Clarington. Urban Centres are designed to be complete communities, and are also identified as Priority Intensification Areas, which allows for flexibility on parking requirements. 5.2.3 Urban Centres are planned to provide a mix of uses, encourage active street life, and develop in a manner that supports transit and pedestrian connectivity. The urban design policies of the Town Centre designation are implemented through the review and approval of development applications. 62 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-18 Page 8 5.2.4 The 1996 Clarington Official Plan policies for the Bowmanville West Town Centre together with the direction of the Secondary Plan required a density of between 31 and 60 units per hectare. 5.2.5 The direction of the updated Official Plan requires all new applications generally within a 500 metre radius of the future Bowmanville GO Station to have a minimum net density of 200 units per hectare with no height limitation. 5.2.6 The development must satisfy the Official Plan's comprehensive Urban Design policies that encourage a high quality public realm, and give priority to sustainable design, including environment -first principles, walkability, land efficiency, compact and connected communities and resource and energy efficiency. Attractive and safe communities are encouraged to create a sense of place and a diversity of built form. The built form should facilitate active transportation and public transit. 5.2.7 The location near the future planned GO train station is supportive of higher densities. 5.2.8 Green Road is identified as an arterial road consistent with the Durham Regional Official Plan. Prince William and Clarington Boulevards are collector streets 5.3 Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan 5.3.1 The subject lands are designated as Medium Density Residential in the Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan. The designation allows for residential development having a density between 31 and 60 units per hectare. Permitted dwelling types include townhouses, stacked townhouses, and low rise apartment buildings not exceeding three storeys in height. These policies are not consistent with the newly adopted Clarington Official Plan or provincial or regional policy. 5.3.2 In addition to the Urban Design and Town Centre policies that give direction to site plan design, the Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan contains detailed Urban Design policies, including an Urban Design Guideline, and policies specific to residential buildings and site layout. 5.3.3 The Secondary Plan is currently in the process of being updated in 2018 to conform to the new Clarington Official Plan, as amended by OPA 107. 6.

Another resident has questions about pedestrian crossings over Green Road. The owner of the Seasons Retirement Home had general questions about development in the area and wishes to receive continued updates. 7.4 At the time of writing this report no further comments or concerns were received. 8. Agency Comments 8.1 Comments from the Region of Durham and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority have not been received at this time. 8.2 CP Railway does not object to the applications, and has provided standard conditions of approval. 8.3 Canada Post has no objections to the applications and has provided their standard requirements for mail delivery to be incorporated into the site plan. 8.4 Rogers has no objections to the applications. 9. Departmental Comments 9.1 Engineering Services has no objections to the proposed development, they require the standard conditions regarding site alteration and parkland dedication. An amendment to the subdivision agreement will be required to include the subject parcel. 9.2 Emergency and Fire Services has no objections. 9.3 The Building Division has no comments or objections to the Draft Plan of Subdivision or Rezoning. ID Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-18 Page 10 10. Discussion 10.1 This site at 1599 Green Road is located within the Bowmanville West Town Centre, adjacent to lands with previous approvals. The previous applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning received prior to the approval of the new Clarington Official Plan. The previous applications were reviewed against the Durham Regional Official Plan, the 1996 Clarington Official Plan, the draft policy direction of OPA 107, and the Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan. 10.2 With the approval of the new Clarington Official Plan and the 2017 Growth Plan, the policy direction is changing for the Bowmanville West Urban Centre. However, Planning Staff must also consider the context of the relatively small parcel that was intended to develop in a coordinated matter with the earlier applications on Blocks 1 and 2. The subject site (Block 3) is a residual parcel needed to round out the development block contemplated with the earlier approval. 10.3 Staff are concurrently processing a site plan application and will ensure all zoning regulations are drafted appropriately based on the latest overall site design, and that the appropriate conditions are in place to ensure the proper coordination of development prior to reporting back. 10.4 The purpose of the public meeting is to provide an opportunity for further public input. These public comments will be compiled, discussed with the applicant and addressed in a subsequent staff report. 10.5 Once the principle of development can be supported, draft conditions of approval and a zoning by-law amendment would be recommended for Council's consideration. 11. Concurrence Not Applicable. 12. Conclusion 12.1 The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning applications submitted by WED Investments Ltd. for the Public Meeting under the Planning Act. Staff will continue processing the application including the preparation of a subsequent report upon resolution of the identified issues. 13.

However, Staff reports to Council on applications for proposed Draft Plans of Subdivision at the public meeting stage and when approval is recommended for an application for proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision. 2.2 Some subdivision applications can take a number of years to reach draft approval. There may be many revisions before a proposed plan is draft approved. The charts in this report do not include the applications that have been previously submitted in prior years and are awaiting revisions or working toward approvals. 2.3 In 2017 eleven new applications for proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision were received.

Two of these applications are to facilitate future common element condominium applications. This is true of two applications in Bowmanville and one in Courtice. As the Municipality continues to see applications for higher density and intensification the trend is expected to continue in the future. It is expected that as Secondary Plans are completed in the coming years both Bowmanville and Courtice will see the majority of new applications for Proposed Plans of Subdivision in future years. 2.5 In 2017, townhouse units were the dominant form of housing being applied for in subdivision applications, followed by single detached dwellings. Further there was a significant rise in applications including apartment units. This is consistent with Provincial Policy that encourages intensification as part of creating complete communities. It is expected that townhouse and apartment units will continue to represent a larger percentage of units applied for in the coming years, although many of these will be on existing lots and not necessarily within plans of subdivision. This is 69 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 Page 4 expected as a result of both Provincial Policy, the cost of housing and a shift in demographics leading to an increase in demand for smaller units, including townhouses and apartment units.

In 2017, the number of Draft Approved plans and the number of homes resulting from the 2017 draft approvals has decreased slightly compared to 2016. The draft approved subdivisions in 2017 will provide for 598 more dwelling units throughout the Municipality once the applications are registered. The draft approved plans provide diverse types of development, including: single detached, townhouses and apartment units. 2.7 The Planning Act allows a Municipality to impose a date by which final approval must be achieved, after which draft approval expires. The Municipality of Clarington typically allows for a three year period from the date of draft approval to allow the applicant sufficient time to meet all conditions imposed. If the applicant is unable to fulfill all conditions within this timeframe, extensions may be granted.

The registered subdivisions provide diverse types of development, including: single detached, semi-detached, townhouses and apartment units. It is expected that the number of units registered will remain strong in the coming years as the number of draft approved subdivision units remains high and market demand remains strong in Clarington. 70 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 Page 5 2.9 In 2017 there were four subdivisions appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board due to failure to make a decision. 2.10 Part Lot Control applications are processed by Staff and approval of these applications has been delegated to the Director of Planning Services. However, it is necessary to have a By-law adopted by Council to implement the decision. Applications for Part Lot Control allow lots and/or blocks within a registered Plan of Subdivision, constructed for semi-detached or townhouses to be split and individually sold. The individual lot is created after construction has commenced to ensure that the lot line is based on the location of footings and/or common walls. In 2017, a total of two applications for Part Lot Control were received and four applications were approved. 3. Plans of Condominium 3.1 A condominium is the form of housing tenure that usually has individual ownership of a dwelling unit and joint ownership of common elements and facilities. Condominiums are most commonly used for townhouses and apartment buildings. One application for Proposed Plan of Condominium was received in 2017 for a 20 unit townhouse development in Bowmanville.

Official Plan Amendments 4.1 In a number of cases, Official Plan Amendments received supported policies adopted through Official Plan Amendment 107. Due to the timing of the approval of the Official Plan by the Region, Staff advised a number of applicants to submit applications for Official Plan Amendments along with their rezoning applications, as a precaution should Amendment 107 be delayed. The approval of OPA 107 on July 10, 2017 allowed three of the Official Plan amendment applications received in 2017 to be closed and/or withdrawn due to conformity with the policies of the Adopted Official Plan. It is expected that within the coming year the number of Official Plan Amendment applications received will decrease, as the Planning Act provides for a two-year freeze on amendments following a comprehensive review and approval. Council may grant individuals permission to submit applications. 71 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 Page 6 4.2 Planning Services Staff review and processes applications to amend the Clarington Official Plan.

Among the approved amendments was an application to redesignate lands from Prestige Employment to Light Industrial to allow Toyota Canada Inc. to relocate their eastern Canada parts distribution centre to Bowmanville and an application to relocate a previously approved mixed-use building and increase height from five storeys to six in Newcastle. 4.4 Further, there was one Official Plan Amendment, which Council denied, appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, scheduled to be heard in early 2018. The application pertains to amending the Official Plan to permit an agri-tourism use on an existing agricultural property. 5. Zoning By -Law Amendments 5.1 Zoning By-law Amendments include by-laws for the removal of a Holding Symbol which is often used as a technique to ensure that municipal requirements related to an approval are implemented through development agreements.

Pre -conditions to ensure the suitability for development were satisfied and removal of the "H" signifies development will proceed according to municipal requirements. 5.3 Further, there was one Zoning By-law Amendment appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, scheduled to be heard in early 2018. The application pertains to amending the Zoning By-law to permit an agri-tourism use on an existing agricultural property. 72 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 6. Site Plans Page 7 6.1 The Clarington Site Plan Control By-law requires site plan approval prior to issuance of a building permit for the majority of Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Multi - Residential developments. In addition, site plan is required for any development applications on the Oak Ridges Moraine.

A number of these were to deal with problems that builders were encountering with models that did not comply with zoning. In 2017, eight applications were tabled to a future meeting in order to allow the applicants to further refine their proposals. Furthermore, the Committee applied conditions to 8 of the 82 approvals to ensure that each variance respects any distinctive site characteristics. There were no applications denied by the Committee, although one application that the Committee tabled twice was withdrawn by the applicant. 74 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 8.

Sign Permit Applications 9.1 Sign permits are required for most signs within the Municipality of Clarington. Sign permits are divided into two categories: Permanent and Temporary. The table below shows the sign permit activity for 2017 based on geographic area. In 2017, a total of 232 signs were issued. 9.2 Temporary sign activity decreased by 20% in 2017 whereas, permanent sign permit activity increased significantly by 260%. With an increase in commercial site plan applications approved in 2017, there has been an influx in applications required for permanent signage. The majority of temporary and permanent signs are being located in Bowmanville, Courtice and Newcastle. 75 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 Page 10 Sign Permit Activity By Geographic Area Urban Area Number of Applications Permanent Temporary 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 Courtice 8 4 7 41 73 61 Bowmanville 66 10 25 65 77 72 Newcastle 18 3 0 18 12 14 Hamlets and Rural Areas 9 11 2 7 2 8 Total 101 28 34 131 164 155 10. Apartment -In -House 10.1 An apartment -in-house application provides the Emergency and Fire Services Department and Building Services Division with the opportunity to ensure the unit complies with the Building Code and is on the Emergency and Fire Services data base. In addition, the apartment -in-house application ensures that apartment in -houses are located in the appropriate zones and that sufficient parking is provided on the lot.

Apartment -in-house applications received increased by 28% and Apartment -in-house registrations increased by 39%. With the need for affordable rental units, the cost of homes and aging population it is expected that the demand for apartment -in-house accommodation will continue to grow. 11. Pre -Consultation Meetings 11.1 Pre -consultation meetings are required before most development applications can be submitted. They assist in ensuring applications being submitted have all required supporting documents and the proponent is aware of all required steps. The details of a pre -consultation meeting remain confidential until a formal application is submitted. The number of pre -consultation applications provides a good indication of future proposals within the Municipality of Clarington. 76 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 Page 11 Pre -Consultation Meetings By Type Land Use Year 2017 2016 2015 Major Residential+ 23 26 17 Minor Residential++ 4 8 4 Commercial 9 10 11 Mixed Use (Commercial and Residential) 3 4 1 Industrial 11 7 8 Government/Institutional 5 1 3 Agricultural 3 2 2 Recreational 0 0 0 Telecommunication Towers 2 3 0 Undisclosed 2 - - Total 62 61 46 + Major Residential uses are Residential units consisting of more than three units ++ Minor Residential uses are Residential units consisting of three or less units 11.2 The overall number of pre -consultation meetings held in 2017 remains relatively consistent compared to 2016. In 2017, the number of Major residential pre -consultations remained consistent. The majority of the major residential pre -consultations were for proposals in Courtice and Bowmanville which is consistent with the Provincial Policy direction, as well as the policies of the Official Plan that identify Courtice and Bowmanville as centres for growth. Industrial pre -consultations increased from the numbers in 2016 and 2015. Pre -consultations for mixed-use development remained relatively consistent compared to 2016. Mixed-use proposals have started to emerge as Clarington continues to work towards implementing the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. It is expected that mixed-use proposals will continue to grow in the coming years. Commercial and agricultural pre -consultations remained relatively consistent. 12. Concurrence Not Applicable. 13. Conclusion 13.1 Development activity has increased in nearly all categories in 2017 when compared with the two previous years. The number of new and approved applications has increased in 2017 from those received in 2016. The numbers of final approved new dwelling units in plans of subdivision, site plans, minor variances and apartment -in -houses have increased substantially in 2017 compared to the past two years. These numbers indicate a continued strong interest in growth and investment in Clarington. 77 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -014-18 Page 12 13.2 As secondary plans are prepared for new residential areas, and infrastructure projects to increase sanitary treatment capacity in Newcastle Village and sewers are extended in Courtice, it is expected that interest in major residential development will continue to be high in the coming years. Furthermore, the consistency in pre -consultation activity in 2017, with a specific focus on major residential development, it is expected that there will be continued major residential building in Clarington in the years to come. Industrial development activity has increased and based on pre -consultations and site plan applications it is expected to remain strong. 13.3 Detailed charts for each of the application type identifying applications received and approved can be obtained by contacting the Planning Services Department. 14.

Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -005-18 Page 3 Report Overview This report recommends approval of a proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By- law Amendment applications submitted by Lindvest Properties (Clarington) Limited. The applications would permit a 51 lot subdivision in the Foster Neighbourhood in Newcastle. The application was triggered as a result of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board decision to waive their option for a school block. The application for an Official Plan Amendment is no longer required as the public school symbol on the subject lands was removed by Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107. 1. Application Details 1.1 Owner/Applicant: Lindvest Properties (Clarington) Limited 1.2 Proposal: To develop a vacant block previously designated and draft approved for an elementary school together with 13 previously draft approved single detached dwelling lots for a subdivision containing a total of 51 single detached dwelling lots in the Foster Neighbourhood. 1.3 Area: 1.4 Location: 1.5 Roll Number: 1.6 Within Built Boundary: 2. Background 3.05 hectares 90 Grady Drive, Newcastle 181703013016562 No 2.1 On February 29, 2016, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board notified Lindvest and the Municipality of its decision to waive their option to retain the subject site for the development of a public elementary school. 2.2 On January 5, 2017, Lindvest Properties (Clarington) Limited submitted applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision, Clarington Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to develop the former public elementary school block together with 13 previously draft approved lots as a 50 lot single detached dwelling subdivision (see Figure 1). The 13 previously draft approved lots front on the south side of the future extension to Whitehand Drive, abutting the north side of the former school block. 2.3 A statutory public meeting was held on February 21, 2017. Comments received from the public included concerns over the loss of the future school and questions regarding surrounding developments. This is discussed more in Section 8 of this report. t:P Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD -005-18 N Paae 4 Future Development , ; k Whitehand Drive 1 Future Walkway Area 17 Subject Site Grady Drive cn _ U U) O N O L 0. �.

Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses The subject lands are currently vacant and have been used to stockpile excess soils on a temporary basis. The lands were previously used for agriculture. The surrounding uses are as follows: North — Draft approved plan of subdivision, South — Existing single detached dwellings East — Rickard Neighbourhood Park West — Draft approved plan of subdivision, 4. Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement future detached dwellings future detached dwellings The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Planning authorities are encouraged to create healthy, livable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs. Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure. The subject applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The lands are located in a Designated Greenfield Area within a settlement area. In the Region of Durham the Growth Plan establishes the target of 50 jobs and residents combined per net hectare in the Designated Greenfield Area. This target is measured across the Region of Durham. The Growth Plan encourages the creation of complete communities that are compact, transit -supportive and offer a range and mix of housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and services. The subject applications are consistent with the Provincial Growth Plan. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Region Official Plan The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Areas. Lands designated Living Area permit the development of communities incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. The proposed development conforms with the Durham Region Official Plan. Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD -005-18 5.2 Clarington Official Plan Paae 7 The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands as Urban Residential. The subject lands are within the Foster Neighbourhood. The Urban Residential designation shall predominantly be used for housing purposes, providing for a variety of densities, tenure and types. Neighbourhoods are to be walkable, compact, connected and create a high quality public realm. The proposed development will integrate into the surrounding community and be consistent with the neighbourhood identity that surrounds it. The proposal conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. 6. Zoning By-law Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Urban Residential Exception (R1-42), Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H)R1-67) and Holding - Urban Residential Exception ((H)R2-45). The former school site is zoned R1-42 which permits only a public school. The 13 lots that were draft approved and front onto the future extension of Whitehead Drive were zoned (H)R1-67 and (H)R2-45 when subdivision 18T-89059 was draft approved. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (Attachment 3) will allow for the development of 51 single detached dwelling units. The lands will have a similar zoning as surrounding developments, to the south and east, and will be in keeping with surrounding development in the neighbourhood. 7. Summary of Background Reports 7.1 Planning Justification Report, D. G. Biddle & Associates, December 2016, updated October 2017 A Planning Justification Report was submitted in support of the applications. The report identifies the Official Plan policies and how the proposal meets the policies of the urban residential designation. The report outlines why an Official Plan Amendment is no longer required after the Region of Durham approved Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107. The report also concludes that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding community. 7.2 Functional Servicing Report, D. G. Biddle & Associates, December 2016, updated October 2017 A Functional Servicing Report was submitted in support of the applications. The brief provides the details of how the proposed subdivision can be serviced (water, sanitary and storm) from existing and new infrastructure. The report identifies that lots fronting onto future Street A where the grade of the road is higher than 105.0 metre contour (lots 28-33 and 45-51) will need to be put on hold due to lack of water pressure. The holding symbol on the zoning of the lots can be lifted when Flop Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD -005-18 Paae 8 the Region of Durham has installed a supplementary reservoir to boost water pressure to the area. 7.3 Urban Design Brief, D. G. Biddle & Associates, December 2016, updated October 2017 An Urban Design Brief was submitted in support of the applications. The brief provides an architectural context and design goals while outlining the rationale for the proposed development in terms of the compatibility of built form, massing, density and lot fabric within the greater neighbourhood. 8. Public Submissions A public meeting was held on February 21, 2017. Staff was contacted by one resident prior to the public meeting and four area residents spoke at the public meeting. The main concern raised by area residents was the loss of the future elementary school. Many residents are of the opinion that a new school is warranted and should be located in this neighbourhood. Some residents also inquired about adjacent developments and the timing of projects within the Foster North Neighbourhood. Staff have followed up with residents via e-mail and phone to respond to area residents questions regarding surrounding developments and the school board's responsibilities for future school construction. 9. Agency Comments 9.1 Durham Region Planning Durham Region Planning Department has no concerns or objections to the approval of the draft plan of subdivision, subject to conditions, or the rezoning applications. The Region stated that the proposed subdivision complies with Provincial and Regional Planning Policy. 9.2 Durham Region Works Durham Region Works Department has no objections to the approval of the draft plan of subdivision, subject to conditions. The Works Department has identified that there is constraints to providing water service to specific lots within the proposed subdivision with existing infrastructure. As the Functional Services Report identified there is a water pressure issue in this area and the existing infrastructure will not be able to provide water to lots that are above 105.0 metre elevation. In addition to the lots 28-33 and 45-51 were identified in the Functional Servicing Report, the Region has identified that lot 44 will also need to be placed on hold. The lots will be removed from hold once a water pumping station has been constructed to address the existing water pressure constraints. Durham Region anticipates issuing a request for proposals for that work. There is no identified timeline for the completion of that project. 86 Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD -005-18 9.3 Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority Paae 9 Ganaraska Conservation Authority has no concerns or objections to the approval of the draft plan of subdivision. Ganaraska is satisfied that the stormwater management proposed in the subdivision meets the intent of the approved stormwater pond. 9.4 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board was circulated on the application and provided no comments. 10. Departmental Comments 10.1 Engineering Services has no objections to the draft approval subject to conditions which will be addressed through the subdivision agreement. Among the works the applicant will be required to undertake include the following: x Remove the existing median in Grady Drive and repair the road to an acceptable condition; x Replace or erect fencing around the lots abutting the park and the park to the east; and x Provide a new pathway from the future sidewalks to the existing pathway in the park. Engineering Services also required that lots 19 to 22 be widened to provide for adequate room to accommodate driveway aprons. The future side walk will be adjacent to these lots and there is concern over driveway entrances being located to close together. 11. Discussion 11.1 During the review process staff, together with the applicant reviewed ways to eliminate the need for a cul-de-sac. The revised plan eliminates deficient spacing between intersections, provides good vehicle access through the development and provides pedestrian connections to Rickard Park. The elimination of the cul-de-sac will also allow for an additional lot, making more efficient use of infrastructure. 11.2 The Region of Durham approved Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107 on June 19, 2017. Included in that amendment was the removal of school symbols from Official Plan maps. The removal of the school blocks made the applicants application to amend the Official Plan, COPA2017-0001, redundant and the application is no longer required to facilitate the subdivision application. The Foster North East Neighbourhood Design Plan is also proposed to be amended to reflect the elimination of the school block and introduction of lots and a crescent shaped road as shown in Attachment 1. Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD -005-18 Paae 10 11.3 Comments received from the public focused on the loss of a future school in the neighbourhood and concerns existing schools were at capacity. The Municipality designates school sites in coordination with the school boards through a Secondary Plan. At the time of development, the school boards independently determine whether to proceed with a site based on school enrollment and the provincial funding formula. Our understanding is that an elementary school may be considered on other lands in the Foster Neighbourhood. 11.4 Currently any future lots over the 105 metre elevation, Lots 28-33 and 44-51, will not be able to be built on due to water pressure constraints. A conditional draft approval dealing with servicing capacity applies equally to other draft approved lands in the Lindvest Subdivision. Durham Region will be undertaking infrastructure improvements in Newcastle that will result in an increase to water pressure to this area. 11.5 The new proposed zoning is similar areas of existing lots developed to the south of the subject lands and future developments to the north, east and west. The zoning will permit single detached dwellings with similar setbacks and development provisions. 12. Concurrence Not Applicable. 13. Conclusion In light of the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board no longer requiring the school block, the applicant has prepared a plan of subdivision proposing 51 lots for single detached dwellings. The subdivision design has been refined through the planning process to remove the cul-de-sac and providing a crescent street design. The subdivision lots will be similar to the surrounding area and subject to the same Community Theme Plan. The refined plan of subdivision provides improved access to the Rickard Neighbourhood Park from the west. It is respectfully recommended that that the applications for a Neighbourhood Design Plan Amendment, a Draft Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning be approved. 14.
