Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Report Overview Page 2 This report recommends approval of the proposed applications by Tornat Newcastle Limited to amend the Foster Northeast Neighbourhood Design Plan, the Zoning By-law, and for a proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit a mixed use development on the north side of King Avenue West, east of Rudell Road in Newcastle. The requested Official Plan Amendment is no longer required as the application is consistent with the Local Corridor policies as contained in the Clarington Official Plan. The application has been withdrawn. The original applications have been revised to: x Reduce the height of the north portion of the apartment building from six storeys to five storeys; x Remove the lofts for the apartment building which reduces the visual height; and x remove the King Avenue access to accommodate the Region of Durham requirements. A comparison of the original site plan and the current preliminary site plan, as follows: Original Application Apartment: 180 units 4-6 storeys plus loft Townhouse units: 10 units in 2 blocks Mixed Use Building 1: Commercial — 1,120 sq.m. Residential — 12 units Mixed Use Building 2: Commercial — 450 sq.m.

Application Details 1.1 Owner/Applicant: Tornat Newcastle Limited 1.2 Agents: D.G. Biddle & Associates Ltd. 1.3 Proposal: Amendment to Official Plan / Neighbourhood Design Plan Page 3 The applicant proposes an amendment to the Foster Northeast Neighbourhood Design Plan and an amendment to the Clarington Official Plan to place lands in a Local Corridor, consistent with Council Adopted Official Plan Amendment 107. Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit: x Creation of four development blocks and one park block (0.143 ha). x Realignment of Given Road to connect with McDonald Crescent (pending the closure and conveyance of portions of Given Road). Proposed Rezoning appropriate to permit the proposal identified above: 1.4 Area: 2.229 hectares 1.5 Location: Part Lot 30, Concession 2, Former Township of Clarke North side of King Avenue West, east of Rudell Road, Newcastle (Figure 1) 1.7 Roll Number: 1817 030 130 15420, 1817 030 130 15400, 1817 030 130 15350, and 1817 030 130 15355 1.8 Within Built Boundary: No 2. Background 2.1 The subject applications were deemed complete on May 1, 2017 and circulated for comments. A Public Information Centre was held May 9, 2017 followed by a statutory Public Meeting on June 5, 2017. Since that time the applicant and his consulting team has worked towards resolving comments and concerns. 2.2 The subject lands are on a triangular parcel of land generally between Rudell Road and Pedwell Street and north of King Avenue West. The application proposes the closure and conveyance of parts of Given Road to support the proposed realignment and closure east Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 4 of the east leg of McDonald Crescent. Such an application would be processed by the Engineering Services Department. 2.3 The preliminary plan for the realignment of Given Road would result in Given Road connecting to the west leg of McDonald Crescent. Additional lands would be required from the Tornat parcel (Block 6) in order to create a 20 metre wide road allowance. The alignment of McDonald Crescent would be adjusted slightly in the southwest where the connection to a portion of Given Road is proposed. Other parts of land within Given Road road allowance are proposed to be melded with partial blocks in the Lindvest plan of subdivision, resulting in three new lots for single detached dwellings. (Refer to Future Single Detached Dwelling Lots outlined in Figure 1). Legend Future Single Detached Dwelling Lots Flood Avenue Part of road allowance to be melded with adjacent lands Tornat lands proposed for - Limit of re-aligment of Given Road {Block 6) Tornat Lands _ Proposed Parts of Given Road Townhouse Units road allowance proposed to be part of development (subject to Council approval) CU5 Storeys ej°Ck-� _ 4) 3 Block co k• 1 •� Blo k 'f 4 iBlock 2 � F Iry � s e Storeys 4 Storeys n Road Block 5 King Aven West Proposed Mixed Use 1 - - Buildings , r Proposed Multi Storey Deleted access to r Apartment Building King Avenue West N ginW a�roaos Figure 1: Future Single Detached Dwelling Lots Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 5 2.4 The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision (Figure 2) would have the effect of creating four blocks to accommodate the proposed phased development. Block 2 is the location of the two mixed use buildings, Block 1 would contain the apartment building, while Blocks 3 and 4 would contain the townhouse blocks (10 units). Block 6 is to accommodate the proposed realignment of Given Road. The plan also includes a park block east of Pedwell Street and a road widening along King Avenue. 2.5 The proposal includes a mix of uses on the site, including an apartment building, two blocks of townhouses, and two mixed-use buildings with commercial on the first floor and residential units integrated into to the building. 2.6 Since the Public Meeting, the development concept has been revised as follows: x Elimination of the King Avenue West mid -block access; x Reduced height of building from six storeys (plus loft) to a maximum of six storeys at King Avenue/Rudell Road (Figure 3); x Reduced height of building adjacent to Given Road from six storeys (plus loft) to a maximum of six storeys (Figure 4 and Figure 5); x Adjust the type and mix of building materials, including less glass; and x Reduction in the number of apartment units from 180 to 172.

As this was not subject of an appeal, the Official Plan Amendment 107 submitted in support of this application is no longer necessary and has been withdrawn. 2.9The applicant submitted the following studies in support of the applications which are reviewed in Section 7 of this report: x Planning Justification Report x Site Screening Questionnaire x Noise Study x Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan x Shadow Study x Traffic Impact Study x Functional Servicing Report x Archaeological Assessment x Urban Design Plan Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses Page 9 3.1 The subject lands are currently vacant. The existing Given Road right-of-way forms the north limit of the subject lands. The lands slope down towards King Avenue West, and towards the west to Rudell Road. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North Existing vacant, draft approved, medium density block at Given Road and Rudell Road (zoned to permit townhouse units); existing single detached residential dwellings in Registered Plan of Subdivision 40M-2501. South Existing single detached dwellings in Registered Plan of Subdivision 10M-819. East Existing single detached residential dwellings; long term care facility. West Existing dwellings along King Avenue West; a tributary of Wilmot Creek; and lands within approved Foster Northwest Neighbourhood Design Plan (Subdivision Application submitted). 4. Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 and transit -supportive, offering a diverse mix of land uses, a range and 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. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 10 The Growth Plan continues to reinforce and provide strong policies to guide growth in consideration of: x Making use of existing infrastructure; x Addressing traffic congestion in the GTA; x Avoiding the environmental impacts of continued urban sprawl, and impact to natural resources; x Avoiding low density and automobile dependent development; x Accommodating an aging population and providing more varied housing unit types and affordability; x Supporting the Province's Climate Change Action Plan. The proposed development conforms to the objectives of the Growth Plan and contribute to population targets. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands Living Area. King Avenue West is an arterial road and is also designated as a Transit Spine. The Region has implemented existing Growth Plan targets. Development applications in Living Areas must consider having a compact built form, including providing intensive residential and mixed uses along arterial road and transit routes. Consideration must also be given to urban design, pedestrian connections, grid pattern of roads, and the availability of services and infrastructure. The Region's Official Plan establishes a framework for Regional and Local Corridors. The Region's Official Plan identifies and maps Regional Corridors, and provides a policy direction to local municipalities for designating Local Corridors in local Official Plans. Local Corridors are mixed use areas, planned to support frequent transit service. Local Corridors make connections to Regional Centres (ie. Downtown Newcastle, Downtown Bowmanville, Bowmanville West Town Centre). Local Corridors support a long term density target of a minimum 30 units per gross hectare, and a Floor Space Index of 2.0. Corridors have the following characteristics: x Promote transit having a mix of uses with higher densities; x A sensitive urban design that orients development to the corridor and access points are consolidated; x Maintain and enhance historical main streets, and integrate new development with existing; and x Preserve and enhance cultural heritage resources. This section of King Avenue West is a Type `A' Arterial road and has the most restrictive access and intersection spacing, and the most rigorous design requirements. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 11 Access/intersection spacing shall be a minimum of 200 metres along a Type `A' Arterial road. The proposed development, as revised, conforms to the Regional Official Plan. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan On November 1, 2016, Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 107 to bring the Clarington Official Plan into conformity with the Regional Official Plan and provincial policies. Objectives of the Official Plan are: x to create walkable neighbourhoods and to provide a variety of uses within each neighbourhood. x to provide for a variety of housing densities, tenure and types in neighbourhoods for all incomes, ages and lifestyles. The approved Clarington Official Plan establishes urban structure typologies and built form directives for Centres, Corridors, Transportation Hubs, Waterfront Places, Edge of Neighbourhoods, Along Arterial Roads and Internal to Neighbourhoods. The subject lands are within a "Local Corridor". Mixed-use buildings, apartments and townhouse units are permitted (between two and six storeys) with a minimum net density of 40 units per net hectare. The mix between low-rise (two-four storeys) and mid -rise (five -six storeys) shall generally be split 80% and 20%, respectively, measured across the local corridor area. Local Corridors are considered one of the Priority Intensification Areas and one of the areas for higher densities in Greenfield Areas. Corridors shall be comprehensively developed to provide mixed uses and densities that support transit -oriented development, uses that are complementary to the function of the corridor and site design that is sensitive to the existing neighbourhoods. Corridors are approximately 100 metres deep on both sides of the road. The non-residential floor area policies limit the cumulative floor space to a maximum of 1,500 square metres per site in a Local Corridor, with individual commercial units having a maximum floor area of 300 square metres. Consistent with the Region's Official Plan, King Avenue West is an arterial road and is designated as a Regional Transit Spine. Higher densities and economic activity are to be directed along the Transit Spine, around Transportation Hubs and along Regional and Local Corridors. The Clarington Official Plan includes detailed site and urban design policies to be considered during the review of development applications. The intersection of King Avenue and Rudell Road is defined as a prominent intersection and special urban design policies apply. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 12 Urban design polices dealing with the relationship to the street, height and massing, open spaces and connections are applicable at the rezoning/subdivision stage, while other policies on detailed building design, architectural elements, landscaping and lighting are applicable at the site plan review stage. No significant natural heritage features are identified on the subject lands. The lands are within the Foster Neighbourhood which has a targeted unit count of 1,917. Consistent with the Region's Official Plan, King Avenue West is a Type `A' arterial road and is also designated as a Regional Transit Spine. The proposed applications conform to the Clarington Official Plan. 5.3 Foster Northeast Neighbourhood Design Plan The proposed plan of subdivision is within the Foster Northeast Neighbourhood Design Plan. The design plan predates the approval of current Provincial, Regional and Local policies that now require higher densities along corridors and throughout new neighbourhoods. The Neighbourhood Design Plan identifies a medium density block at the intersection of King Avenue West and Rudell Road, together with the Lindvest block to the north of existing Given Road. Street `E' (McDonald Crescent) is proposed to loop south to King Avenue, as a window street. The plan shows Given Road being completely closed and a parkette block on the east side of Pedwell Street. Neighbourhood Design Plans are being replaced by Secondary Plans in new communities. Given the near buildout of the neighbourhood, the amendment to the Neighbourhood Design Plan is appropriate at this time. 6. Zoning By-law Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Holding — Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1) Zone". A rezoning is required to permit the requested uses. 7. Summary of Background Studies 7.1 Planning Justification Report, D.G. Biddle & Associates, March 2017, updated October 2017 This report provided a detailed planning context of the subject lands and surrounding neighbourhood along King Avenue West in Newcastle. The report identifies that the land is part of the Living Area in the Region's Official Plan and within a proposed Local Corridor in the Clarington Official Plan — now approved by OPA 107. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 13 The report finds that the development proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan and conforms to current Durham Regional Official Plan, and Clarington Official Plan as amended by OPA 107. 7.2 Functional Servicing Report, D.G. Biddle & Associates, February 2017, updated October 2017 The Functional Servicing/Stormwater Management report indicates the lands can be serviced by connecting to existing sanitary sewers and water services in the neighbourhood. Since there is limited capacity in the existing sanitary sewer system, full build out of the development will require the extension of the Wilmot Creek trunk sanitary sewer to service the Foster Creek Neighbourhood. Final phasing details will be determined at the site plan approval stage and prior to construction. Existing storm sewer connections will convey stormwater from the site to the existing stormwater management facility on the west side of Rudell Road. 7.3 Traffic Impact Study, Tranplan Associates, April 2017, updated October 2017 The original report found only minor impacts from the development on the adjacent road network. The roads and intersections would continue to generally operate at a good level of service and the following recommendations were proposed: Monitor operation of the King Avenue and Rudell Road intersection and adjust signal time to accommodate the peak hour directional traffic volumes. - Monitor traffic patterns at King Avenue and Pedwell Street intersection; it is likely that full signalization of the intersection will be warranted when the study area is fully built -out. - Implement Transportation Demand Management strategies in accordance with the Clarington Transportation Master Plan by providing pedestrian and cycling connections to existing sidewalks and future active transportation networks. The updated October 2017 report provided updated findings based on the latest concept plan and without the right-in/right-out mid -block access to King Avenue West. The updated traffic study concluded that the site traffic has a minor impact on the adjacent road network. The study demonstrates that there will be sufficient on-site resident, visitor and commercial parking available. All resident and visitor parking will be underground, including resident and visitor spaces for the residential units within the commercial buildings, and visitor spaces for the 10 townhouse units fronting onto Given Road. Resident parking for the 10 townhouse units along Given Road will be in the driveway and garages accessed from the internal road. The surface parking for the commercial units will be for patrons only, with staff parking provided underground. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 14 7.4 Urban Design Report, Romanov Romanov, April 2017, updated October 2017 The report provides an analysis of how the design of the site and building satisfies the objectives of the Urban Design and Prominent Intersection policies of the Official Plan and the site's location in a designated local corridor. The report also provides a detailed assessment of how the grading of the site accommodates the built form of the development, including the underground parking. The lowest point of the site is at King Avenue and Rudell Road. The elevation of Given Road is higher than the subject lands which has the effect of screening the first floor of the development giving an appearance of a shorter, four storey building along the Given Road frontage. The October 2017 report was updated to reflect the adjustments in height of certain sections of the building to address resident concerns. 7.5 Sustainability Plan, D.G. Biddle & Associates Limited, April 2017 The report identifies preliminary construction techniques that will be employed on site to meet sustainable development objectives including energy efficiency, air quality, water quality and quantity, solid waste, natural environment and homeowner education. 7.6 Shadow Study, Romanov Romanov, March 2017, updated October 2017 The report provides an overview of shadows cast by the development at the shortest and longest days of the year, and on the spring and fall equinox. During the spring, summer and fall months, shadows do not extend past Given Road road allowance, or into the existing subdivision. These are the months when residents will most likely be enjoying their outdoor spaces. The worst case scenario, on the shortest day of the year in December, shadows cast by the development extend north of realigned Given Road, however the majority of the shadows will be cast onto the vacant Lindvest parcel, with long shadows having limited impacts in the early morning, and late afternoon at the most southerly existing lots along McDonald Crescent. 7.7 Noise Impact Study, D.G. Biddle & Associates Limited, February 2017 The preliminary Noise report identifies noise mitigation techniques in the form of mandatory air conditioning for apartment units and special wall construction and window glazing for the building along King Avenue West. The report also recommends warning clauses for agreements of purchase and sale. The noise study will require an update during the site plan stage once final grading, amenity space and additional architectural details are established. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 7.8 Archaeological Study Page 15 The Stage 1 study finds that 85% of the site lacks archaeological potential giving grading and disturbance. An area on the east side of the site, adjacent to Pedwell Street, has not been impacted by previous site alteration. This area may contain artefacts and requires test pits, further study and clearance prior to development. 7.9 Environmental Site Assessment A Site Screening Questionnaire was submitted with the application, however further Environmental Site Assessment will be required given grading/filling activity on site. 8. Public Submissions 8.1 A Public Information Centre was held May 9, 2017 at the Newcastle Public Library. Upwards of 100 people were in attendance. At the Public Meeting held June 5, 2017 twenty residents spoke out in opposition to the applications. 8.2 In addition to the comments received at the Public Information Centre, staff have received several written comments expressing concerns. Comments and enquiries of support have also been received from those interested in a residential unit or retail space for their business. 8.3 Principle concerns raised to date relate to: x Development is too dense, buildings too tall and will obstruct views and produce shadows. x Apartments are not desirable; residents were told land to be developed with townhouses or other uses, but not apartments. x The type and design of development does not fit in with historic character and small town feel of the Village of Newcastle. x Concerned about the future of McDonald Crescent, and no longer being a crescent. x Loss of green/amenity space — Where will kids play? What are plans for the park? x Protection of trees, additional tree planting and improved maintenance requested. x How will stormwater be addressed and what are the impacts to the environment? x The development will have a negative impact on other businesses, including the historic downtown. x Tenure of proposed residential units (i.e. rental vs. ownership). x Traffic congestion, speeding, lack of transit and availability of parking — signals needed at Pedwell Street and King Avenue intersection. x Pedestrian and driver safety will be compromised; crossing guard needed. x School overcrowding. x Development would put a strain on local services, facilities and infrastructure. x Development would negatively impact property values and taxes. x Increase in police presence/crime rates. x More residents will result in additional littering and trespassing on private property. x Overlook, headlights from cars will negatively impact privacy. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 16 x Property will not be well maintained, become an eyesore. x Noise generated by the development will impact neighbouring residents. x Recommend a new long term care facility or other residential options for seniors. x Water pressure and quality is poor in the area. x Residents will experience negative impacts from construction (dust, vibration etc.). x What are the plans for adjacent parcels, partial development blocks? x Put restrictions on the builder. - No balconies facing the North or East. - Plant trees in the backyards of those living on Flood Avenue. - Building should be no higher than 4 storeys inclusive of loft. - Builder must pay to have security systems installed in houses within a 250m radius and pay the monthly bills for two years after residents move into the building. - Restrict purchases to one unit per family to prevent rental units. - Allow residents within 250m with free access to amenities for two years after opening (with the option of continuing at a reasonable cost). - Declare how many units will be luxury units or rental apartments. - Provide security and a 24/7 desk staff position. - All staff must be hired from within Clarington for the first 10 years. 9. Agency Comments 9.1 Region of Durham Regional Planning has not provided formal comments on the latest submission, however the Region's comments on the initial 206 unit mixed use proposal found that the proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan. The proposal provides for mixed use development with mid -rise housing with a planned local corridor and along a transit spine. The development exceeds the minimum density requirements and conforms to the Regional Official Plan. The Region's plan does not identify any natural heritage or hydrologic features that require assessment. To mitigate noise from Highway 2 and any other sources, the recommendations of the Noise Impact Study, and any addendum reports, will be implemented during the site plan and condominium approvals. Prior to final approval the Region requires clearance from the Ministry of Culture Tourism and Sport regarding archaeological potential, and completion of the Site Screening Questionnaire or an appropriate Environmental Site Assessment. Regional Works provided many comments on the initial Functional Servicing Report and Traffic Impact Study, and the applicant subsequently updated the plans and reports to the Region's satisfaction. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 17 The updated Functional Servicing report appropriately identifies that the residential development on the west side of the site will need to be phased given the proposed Trunk Sewer needed to ultimately service the Block 1 lands. There is capacity for approximately 150 persons at this time. Development of the commercial buildings can be serviced by existing sanitary sewer on Pedwell Street. Water services will need to be upgraded and looped to service the lands with both domestic and fireline connections. Regional Works accepted the findings of the Traffic Study, and determined that the right- in/right-out midblock access at the on-site roundabout was not necessary or supported given the predicted level of service at both Rudell Road and Pedwell Street intersections. The Region notes that King Avenue West is a Type `A' arterial road in the west end of Newcastle Village, but only has one lane of travel in each direction making access control very rigid. Together with the design requirements for a controlling a right-in/right-out movement (tapers, median, trumpets etc.) Regional Works determined that an entrance to King Avenue is not supported at this time. Road widenings will be required along King Avenue. The Region has requested that the internal road width be widened from 6.0 m to 6.5 metres to accommodate Regional Waste Pickup. The Region's comments included proposed conditions of Draft Approval which have been included in Attachment 2. 9.2 Durham Region Transit Durham Region Transit has no objections to the application and has provided site plan related comments and suggests a public walkway, mid -block between Rudell Road and Pedwell Street should be provided. DRT also notes existing stops east of Rudell Road and Pedwell Street to be maintained during the development of the subject lands. 9.3 Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority provided technical comments to the applicant regarding the submitted stormwater management study which the applicant's consultant address. The Conservation Authority has no objection to the approval of the applications, and provided conditions of approval. 9.4 Veridian Connections While Veridian Connections has no objection to the development, expansion/upgrades to the electrical system are required to service the development including padmounted transformer(s). Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 18 In addition, the existing services that exist along abutting road allowances may have to be relocated to accommodate the development. An existing line along Given Road will have to be addressed/relocated. These technical comments have been forwarded to the applicant and must be resolved as part of the site plan approval and detailed design stage. 9.5 School Boards Both the Kawartha Pineridge District School and the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington District School Board have both advised that they have no objection to the proposal. 9.6 Canada Post and Enbridge Gas have no objections. Technical comments were forwarded to the applicant. 10. Departmental Comments 10.1 Engineering Services Engineering Services Department has no objection to the proposed development. Access to the development will be via Given Road and Pedwell Street, without direct access to King Avenue West. The realignment of Given Road and connection to McDonald Crescent can be supported in principle subject to the applicant pursuing the road closure and conveyance and subject to Council's approval. Special conditions of Draft Approval are recommended to implement the realignment at the applicant's cost. The Clarington Engineering Services Department can support an entrance to Pedwell Street, however the access should shift as far north as possible, which will result in the loss of one lot on the west side of Pedwell Street in the location of the former road allowance. As Lindvest owns a small triangle that would assist in creating this additional proposed lot, the Municipality acknowledges that further consultation with Lindvest is required. This will be reviewed through the site plan application. The applicant must install a suitable slip or bypass lane on the east side of Pedwell Street. This will allow through traffic to proceed north should there be any northbound left -turn queuing and to ensure no impact to the intersection. The preliminary design for the slip lane requires further refinement and will be addressed at the detailed design stage. Other standard conditions of approval will be applied relating to road design, final approval of servicing, grading and engineering details, noise attenuation and parkland dedication. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 10.2 Emergency and Fire Services Page 19 Emergency and Fire Services has no objections and has provided technical comments to be addressed at the site plan stage. Fire routes are to be provided and signed appropriately as no parking/fire route. The distance from fire hydrant to the fire department connection cannot exceed 45 metres. 10.3 Building Division The Building Division has no concerns with the proposed applications. 10.4 Operations The Operations Department has no objections to the proposal in principle. However they have requested details on new public infrastructure proposed by this development. Additional comments relating to a future site plan application would be required to address snow storage, maintenance of clean roads during construction, and snow clearing of the public sidewalk. 11. Discussion 11.1 The Proposal implements the Official Plan's Community Structure for Newcastle The subject site is located within a Local Corridor in the approved Official Plan connecting to the downtown. The Local Corridor policies support mixed-use developments up to six storeys in height, provided the policies of the Official Plan can be satisfied. The purpose of establishing Local Corridors in Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107 is to support the overall framework for growth that can accommodate population and housing targets. Encouraging higher densities in key areas that support transit initiatives and helps to build a critical mass to support the business case for expansion of transit services. Midrise development also reduces consumption of agricultural land, provides a range of housing choices, efficiently uses infrastructure and supports climate change initiatives. The development provides a residential density of 110 units per net hectare, and a Floor Space Index of approximately 1.2. The development meets the minimum density requirements however the Floor Space Index falls short of the Local Corridor Target of 2.0 which is intended to be a long term target. The site is within a section of Local Corridor that extends between the Newcastle urban boundary to the west, and the village commercial centre to the east. Based on other constraints to development and redevelopment within the Newcastle Local Corridor (existing fire hall, municipal lands, open space including stormwater management facilities, existing low rise development), there are limited opportunities to accommodate higher densities. While the majority of the apartment building is four storeys, higher densities are being achieved only because the proponent is constructing underground Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 20 parking. This development contributes to the Municipality's overall built form and housing unit targets for the Local Corridor. A total of 1,570 square metres of commercial floor space is proposed. The Official Plan policy permits this amount of commercial floor space, however individual stores will be limited to a maximum of 300 square metres to limit the scale of commercial units to service the neighbourhood. The proposed Zoning By-law amendment implements this requirement. Overall, the density, built form and unit types conform to the Regional and Clarington Official Plan and implement the community structure plan. 11.2 The Building Height has been Reduced Following the Public Information Centre and Public Meeting the proposal was revised to address comments regarding scale, height and design. x Reduced height of the apartment building at King Avenue/Rudell Road by removing the loft from six storey elevation; x Reduced height of the apartment building adjacent to Given Road from six storeys (plus loft) to a maximum of five storeys without any loft; x Adjust the type and mix of building materials, including less glass; Design elements of the project will be further elaborated through the site plan process. While the Village has significant historical buildings in the central commercial area, the subject lands are within a suburban area of Newcastle. Through the site plan process, staff will provide balanced consideration of the site's existing context and the Official Plan urban design objectives, including prominent intersection policies. With the removal of the lofts and the reduction of one storey for the portion of the apartment building along Given Road, the visual impact is reduced by two storeys. 11.3 Privacy and Overlook is not an issue due to reduced building heights, relative grades and intervening buildings A major concern for residents of Flood Avenue was the potential overlook of their rear yards from this development. It is staff's view that this is not of concern due to the following: x The building height at the northern portion of the building (by the Given Road/Rudell Road intersection) has been reduced as outlined in the previous section. x There is a significant grade change, particularly on the easterly sections, where the single detached homes on Flood Avenue are at a higher elevation than the apartment building, thus obscuring the views behind the privacy fences. x There is a future intervening townhouse development on the Lindvest townhouse block on the north side of Given Road. This townhouse development will block views into rear yards with the exception of limited gaps between the townhouse Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 21 blocks. Even there, the grade changes and privacy fencing at the rear of the Flood Avenue lots will make any views extremely limited. The images demonstrate that once the townhouse units are built on the Lindvest parcel, the obstruction of views and perceived negative impacts to privacy are negligible. The images assume two storey townhouses on the vacant lands, Figure 6: View from Flood Avenue residence toward the apartment building with view of intervening two-storey townhouse north of Given Road on Lindvest Lands. Figure 7: View from 5t" floor apartment building looking toward Floor Avenue with intervening two-storey townhouses on Lindvest Lands. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 22 Shadow impacts as outlined the Shadow Study (See Section 7.6) will be minimal on existing residential dwellings. 11.4 Neighbourhood Level Commercial Uses are provided. As population growth continues in Newcastle, so too will the demand for retail space and services. In planning for complete communities the goal is to provide services and convenience opportunities within 5-10 minute walk. The intersection of Pedwell Street and King Avenue East is approximately a 10 minute walk from Mill Street making virtually all of this neighbourhood outside of the ideal walking distance to the downtown commercial area. The commercial units will service the west end of Newcastle, generally west of Foster Creek, with limited convenience type uses. Store sized are limited to 300 square metres. In staff's opinion, the commercial services offered through this project will not have any negative impact on the existing downtown. Instead the proposed retail space will provide amenities that are needed for a growing walkable neighbourhood. 11.5 The Condominium Apartment Building will contribute to the variety and affordability of housing in Newcastle The applicant has clarified that the proposed apartment building will be condominium tenure. This does not preclude some units from being purchased as an investment and rented. Many residents have raised the question of whether the units would be assisted housing or "geared to income" units in a rental building. The Planning Justification Report referenced that the proposed development improves housing accessibility by increasing the provision of "affordable" housing. The term "affordable" is used in a relative sense to compare a unit within the proposed condominium building versus a single detached dwelling in the general vicinity. These units are expected to be considered mid-range condominium units and affordable for moderate income families, including some seniors. So while it contributes to a variety of housing choice, it doesn't provide housing for low income residents. 11.6 Expansion of School Capacity has to be addressed by the School Boards for not only this project but for the Neighbourhood as it grows School capacity is raised as a concern. It should be noted that apartment style units, regardless of tenure, yield considerably fewer students per dwelling than single detached homes. Many of the apartment units are occupied by adults only. For planning purposes the public school board has previously indicated that on average there are only 0.027 elementary age students per apartment unit and 0.0134 secondary school students per apartment unit. For Townhouse units the estimated student yield is 0.2326 and .0673 for elementary and secondary schools respectively. Based on these numbers the total development will yield approximately seven elementary school and four secondary school students respectively to the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board system. Generally, yields to Separate School Board are less than the public board. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 23 School boards have the exclusive jurisdiction over school capacity concerns or new school construction. New school sites are planned, together with the school boards, as part of Secondary Plan or Neighbourhood Design Plan exercise, based on projections for school aged children related to proposed growth in the area. However, provincial funding together with a declining school enrolment has seen designated and approved school sites in all three urban areas being relinquished by both the public and separate school boards. With the relinquishment of the Elementary School site on Grady Drive, it is our understanding that Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is considering an elementary school as part of new school facilities on the site that they acquired on the west side of Rudell Road. Both the Kawartha Pineridge District School Board and the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington District School Board have both advised that they have no objection to the proposal. 11.7 Regional Review has constrained site access Due to access spacing requirements of the Region of Durham for Type "A" arterials, the right-in/right-out access to King Avenue has been deleted. The Region and Clarington Engineering Staff are satisfied that the development can function adequately with access via Rudell Road and Pedwell Street. At such time King Avenue West is widened to two lanes in each direction, it may be possible to introduce a right-in/right-out access along King Avenue. The existing signals at Rudell Road, and future signals at Pedwell Street will ensure safe traffic movements in and out of the development and existing neighbourhood and will provide safe pedestrian crossings for residents and students. The east side of Pedwell Street will be widened to accommodate a slip lane in the event that northbound traffic creates a queue from turning left into the site. 11.8 Realigned Given Road connecting to McDonald Crescent will not create significant impacts The revisions to the road network are presented in the amendment to the Neighbourhood Design Plan (Attachment 1). Some residents were concerned about traffic impacts with McDonald Crescent becoming connected via Given Road to Rudell Road, versus maintaining a crescent with access to Flood Avenue only. Staff have reviewed this concern in depth including discussions with the traffic consultant. Very few vehicular trips from the development will use McDonald Crescent. Terminating Given Road as a cul-de- sac is not desirable where opportunity for a more grid like pattern is possible. It removes options for better pedestrian and vehicular circulation including easier access for McDonald Crescent residents to Highway 2and thus reducing their reliance of Flood Avenue as the only point of access. Staff recommend Given Road connect to McDonald Crescent. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 11.9 Pedestrian Connectivity to transit and Highway 2 will be enhanced Page 24 To address Durham Regional Transit comments about access to transit stops and overall pedestrian connectivity within the neighbourhood, a condition of Draft Approval requires the owner to provide a public easement over the subject lands (mid -block between Rudel Road and Pedwell Street) which will have the effect of connecting the rest of the neighbourhood to King Avenue West. This will be in the form of a sidewalk or paved connection, with final location and details determined at the final approval stage. 11.10 Sufficient Parking is provided Residents expressed concern about the lack of parking on site. As discussed in the Traffic Impact Study (Section 7.3) on-site parking has been provided in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning By-law including visitor parking at a rate of 0.25 spaces per unit.. An area of the underground parking will be reserved for residents, while a separate area will be set aside for visitor and staff of the commercial units. This will be implemented through the site plan and condominium approvals. 11.11 Water and Sanitary Sewer services will be upgraded Water and sanitary sewers are available to service the site, however development of the apartment building on Block 1 is dependent on the trunk sewer extension via Toronto Street to the Foster Neighbourhood. Site plan conditions will be required to address servicing and phasing. The Region indicates that the trunk sewer work will be tendered late 2017/early 2018. Regional Works staff were forwarded all resident concerns and comments relating to lack of water pressure. Regional staff indicated that the water pressure for the entire Foster Creek neighbourhood is within the acceptable servicing range (above 275 kPa / 40 psi). The proposed development is not expected to impact existing water pressure given the location of the site and the existing watermain infrastructure. An upcoming Environmental Assessment will be assessing the water system in Newcastle. 11.12 On-site Amenity Space will be provided and public parkland will be enhanced Through the site plan process, the applicant must demonstrate that there is sufficient private amenity space on site. Amenity space guidelines seek to provide a minimum of four square metres per unit. Based on 198 units, a total of 792 square metres (8,525 square feet) will need to be provided on the site plan. This has been included as a requirement of the zoning by-law amendment. The intent of amenity space on site is to provide outdoor recreation space for residents of the development. It could be provided at grade or on the roof top, and could include play area for children, shade structures, barbecue space, seating, and landscaping among other elements. The applicant continues to explore where this will be provided on site but is prepared to provide the space in accordance with the Municipality's Amenity Space Guideline. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 Page 25 Public parkland is also provided at a neighbourhood level. Block 5 will be dedicated to the Municipality as part of the Owner's public parkland requirements and will meld with a small parcel located just east of Block 5 to create a landscape feature along King Avenue. The Rickard neighbourhood park is situated along Grady Drive, with another park planned west of Rudell Road. Future park plans within the 5 year capital works forecast anticipate the construction of additional sports fields on the lands surrounding the Diane Hamre Recreation Complex. These parks together with nearby walking trails provide multiple areas for outdoor recreation. 11.13 Mid -rise development does not create the perceived social impacts that residents fear Residents raised concerns that the project would attract the criminals or criminal activity, have a negative impact on property values, and lead to additional noise, littering and trespass on private property. These opinions are not supported by research. People who live in mid -rise apartments, whether rental or condominium tenure, are a cross- section of society like the rest of the neighbourhood. One resident also requested putting restrictions or costs on the builder which are not supported by staff. It is unreasonable to expect the owners of the new condominium units to, for example, provide free access to their private amenity space or install security systems in adjacent homes. 11.14 Construction Impacts will be consistent with a new neighbourhood. A new neighbourhood builds out over a number of years creating inevitable impacts on the first residents to move into the area. Municipal staff will take the evolving municipal practices to mitigate the impact on existing residents. This includes a dust management plan which is a condition of all development approvals. This does not mean that dust from construction will be completely eliminated, the aim is to keep it under control. This will equally be applied to the medium density site to the north of the subject lands. 11.15 Proposed Disposition of the Applications a) Official Plan Amendment With the approval of the Official Plan Amendment 107 to the Clarington Official Plan by the Region of Durham on June 19, 2017 implementing the Municipality's comprehensive review, the proposed application implements Council's policy with respect to Local Corridors. Accordingly, the Official Plan amendment application is unnecessary and the file will be closed at the Applicant's request. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 b) Amendment to Neighbourhood Design Plan Page 26 The proposed amendment to the Neighbourhood Design Plan (Attachment 1) provides for the realignment of Given Road and the creation of the proposed mixed use block. Lindvest, the owner of the medium density block has indicated they may proceed with 21 street townhouse units in five blocks, although they have not completed their analysis. This is also represented in the amendment to the design plan but will still require Planning Act approvals should they wish to proceed. c) Proposed Conditions of Draft Approval Conditions of Draft Approval (Attachment 2) contain standard conditions reflecting staff and agency requirements. Special conditions relating to the closure and conveyance of Given Road, cost sharing for the signalization of Pedwell Street at King Avenue West, and parkland dedication are included. Parkland will be calculated a rate of 1 hectare per 300 units for the residential component and 2% of the land area for commercial purposes, less the dedication of the parkette Block 5 (0.136 ha), with the remaining parkland provided as a cash -in -lieu payment. The applicant has provided their concurrence on the conditions of draft approval. d) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (Attachment 3) places lands in a site specific Urban Residential R4 zone and a site specific General Commercial (C1) Zone which are scoped to permit the development as presented on the preliminary site plan. e) Closure/Conveyance of Given Road The applicant is requesting the closure and conveyance of part of the Given Road, road allowance and the realignment of the right-of-way. A condition of approval will require the applicant to proceed through the Municipality's closure and conveyance process to facilitate the development. 11.16 Taxes All taxes owing to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full. 12. Concurrence Not Applicable. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -090-17 13. Conclusion Page 27 The proposed development successfully implements the Municipality's vision for a mixed use, higher density development along a Local Corridor and the primary transit spine of the Region. The proponent has responded to resident concerns regarding height and building materials which has resulted in a reduction of units. The only part of the building at six storeys will be the portion right at the corner of Rudell Road and Highway 2 while the majority of the building is four storeys tall. It is respectfully recommended that the applications to for a mixed use development including 198 residential units and 1,570 square metres of commercial floor space be approved. 14.

Please accept this letter and the enclosed information as Notice of Appeal of the failure to make a decision on our client's applications for Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision. According and pursuant to Section 34(11) and Section 51(34) of the Planning Act we hereby appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board ("OMB"). DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS: On April 21, 2017, our client through their land -use planning consultant D.G. Biddle & Associates Ltd., filed applications with the Municipality of Clarington for an Official Plan 300 North Queen Street, Suite 101 Toronto, Ontario M9C 5K4 P; 416-551.8534 F: 416-551-1278 Amendment (File: COPA 2017-0007), Draft Plan of Subdivision (File: S -C-2017-0006), Zoning By-law Amendment (File: ZBA 2017-0009) and Foster Northeast Neighbourhood Design Plan Amendment (File: PLN 31.5.7). The Official Plan Amendment application was formally withdrawn on November 22, 2017. The applications filed are in support of a development proposal which includes a mix of uses on Site, including an apartment building, two blocks of townhouses, and two mixed-use buildings with commercial and residential units integrated into the building. A Notice of Complete Application was issued, and the development applications deemed complete by Planning Services on May 1, 2017 (attached). Planning Services in its Report to the Planning and Development Committee, dated December 4, 2017 (attached), recommended approval of the proposed development applications by Tornat Newcastle Limited. Specifically, this report recommended: • That the Zoning By-law Amendment application, submitted to permit the development proposal, be approved; • That the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision be supported; • That the Director of Planning Services and Director of Engineering Services be authorized to amend the Foster Northeast Neighbourhood Design Plan; • That the Clarington Official Plan Amendment application be closed as the proposal is in conformity with the Clarington Official Plan, as amended through the comprehensive review (Official Plan Amendment 107). Zoning By-law Amendment Application: The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to amend Municipality of Clarington Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63. The amendment proposes to rezone the Site from its current designation of (Hold) Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1) Zone to a site specific Urban Residential Type Four (R4) Zone and a site specific General Commercial (CI) Zone which are scoped to permit the development as presented on the preliminary site plan. 300 North Queen Street, Suite 101 Toronto, Ontario M9C 51<4 P: 416-551-8534 F: 416-551-1278 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application: The Draft Plan of Subdivision proposes to permit the creation of four development blocks, to accommodate the proposed phased development, and one park block. Development Block 1 is proposed to contain 172 units in a 4-6 storey apartment building; Development Block 2 is the current location of two mixed-use buildings; Development Blocks 3 and 4 are proposed to contain 10 townhouse units. In addition, the application seeks to permit the realignment of Given Road to connect with McDonald Crescent (pending the closure and conveyance of portions of Given Road). POLICY CONTEXT: The Site is located within the Settlement Boundary of the Town of Newcastle urban area and outside of the Built Boundary. The Site is located in an area identified for growth in the Region of Durham Official Plan and in the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan. The proposed ZBL will accommodate development that seeks to address the objectives of the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and Region and local Official Plans. The existing zoning by-law provisions do not allow for the use, density nor built form required to achieve the objectives of the Clarington Official Plan. Provincial Policy Statement (2014): The proposed mixed-use development is in conformance with the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 with regard to building strong healthy communities. The proposed development meets the following objectives, among others: The proposed mixed-use development minimizes land consumption and servicing costs by promoting efficient, compact development and land use patterns; 2. The proposed mixed-use development minimizes servicing by locating within the settlement area boundary and immediately adjacent to the built boundary and adjacent to existing municipal services; 3. The proposed residential component of the development employs varying lot sizes and building forms in order to improve housing choice and accessibility. 300 North Queen Street, Suite 101 Toronto, Ontario M9C SK4 P: 416-551-8534 F: 416.551-1278 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) The proposed mixed-use development is in conformance with the growth policies of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). The proposed development meets and addresses the objectives of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe to: • Build more vibrant, mixed-use, transit -supportive communities; • Reduce dependence on the automobile through the development of mixed-use, transit - supportive, pedestrian -friendly urban environments, encouraging cities and towns to develop as complete communities with a diverse mix of land uses and a range and mix of employment and housing types; and Optimize the use of existing and new infrastructure to support growth in a compact, efficient form. Region of Durham Official Plan The Region of Durham Official Plan designates the Site as Living Areas, which are intended to be developed for predominantly residential uses. The Site is located along King Avenue, a Type "A" Arterial. The Regional Official Plan encourages compact urban form with mixed uses along arterial roads. The proposed development on Site achieves these policy objectives. Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan (2016) designates the property as Local Corridor, which permits mixed-use development and medium density residential uses, including apartment buildings, townhouses and mixed-use buildings with minimum and maximum heights of 2 and 6 storeys. Local Corridors are identified as a "Priority Intensification Area" with a minimum density target of 30 units per hectare. Under Table 4-2 of the Clarington Official Plan, lands within a Local Corridor are expected to achieve minimum density targets of 30 units per hectare. the proposed subdivision development at 111.2 units per hectare complies with the minimum residential density target. Additionally, the intersection of Durham Highway 2 (King Avenue) and Rudell Road is identified as a Prominent Intersection under Policy 5.4.10 of the Clarington Official Plan. Development proposals at Prominent Intersections are to include massing and height sufficient to emphasize the significance of the intersection. 300 North Queen Street, Suite 101 Toronto, Ontario M9C 5K4 P:416 -S51-8534 F:416-551-1278 5 In support of this Notice of Appeal please find enclosed: 1) OMB Appellant Form (A1); 2) Certified cheque in the amount of $600.00, payable to the Minister of Finance representing the OMB fee; Please keep us informed as this matter proceeds.
