At that time. Council decided to Include Oeklrral Area 6 as a SpeoiaI Policy Area with underlying Residential and EnvironmemaJ P.rotectlon ArM designations.

While theMLlniclpallty would like to ensure that the devtlopeI'$ in Referra\Area#1 andAeferral Area #39 both participate in the watershed study, there Is an inconsistency in the approach in both the Durham and ClarlngtanOffioial Pl8ns as a result of the aetttement on Referral #1. Stat are not aware of any proposals to reach a settlement on Re,..., #39. If the Ontario MUniciPal Board were to approve the Regional Plan designation. Uving Area, there may be the potential for the proponents to argue that the i~ in treatment under the Durham Official Plan is indicative that the watelshed plan requirement should be applied differently for their kinds. Even the ~of the current owner or owners may change OVer tim, or WOUld not be binding ona suooessive owner or owners. Staffs advice to CounclI on this matter would be that the de$ignation of both areas as Special Study Atea in both the Regional and local Officlat.PIMs provides the best policy protection to ensure that a watershed study Is undertaken prior to development. It would be possible. however. to inclicate the Referral #39 lands as lands withl&'t.~ 20 year timefrarne based on land budget requirements.

Mathar'w for Otto Provenzano Comment Mr. Prov~ owns a parcel of land on the north side of HighWeyNo. 2, east of TruIIs Road in Courtlce. He had requested his land be incIuckId in the Main Central Area. In a meeting, with staff, held on December 18, 1$95, Mr. PI'c:>veN:ano verbally requested his property be allowed to be used 'for miXed ~ development ....10 BePORTNQ,eo-l~ PA~{; 10 The Recommended Official Plan designates his property, along with other properties fJ'ofltlng on Highway No.2, as Special Policy Area F. The policies (Section 16.8) aQows land to be used for a variety of PI,IfpOS8S including medium and high density residentlal, recreation, community facilities, institutional uses, and limited office uses. This policy recognizes the need to intensify land uses along Highway No. 2 in support of future transit, and represents a major imprevement to the residential designation in the existing offk:Ia1 plan. Staff cannot support Mr Provenzano's request as it would set a precedent for undesirable strip commercial development along Highway 2. Currently, there is 36,021 square metres (387,700 square feet) of unbuilt approved comtTIerclaI floor space in the CourIlce Urban Area and th$l'e is no justification to add more retail commercial ftoor space. The approved and unbuilt floor space combined with developments currently being constructed will more than meet the need of CourIlce resident8 for the next 10 years. In the long term, there are designated Central Areas in Courtic8 that will provide sufficient commercial floor space for Courtice in the next 20 years.

Type C arterial road)wutMIy In order to minimize through traffic on P~>Road north of BIdorStreet (See Attac:hrnfK1t (I 3). AlternatiVely. PrtJstonvale Road should bedo8ed with a cul-de-sac. ....12 REPORT NO. PQ.13~ PAGe 12 Mr. Neil's suggestion to re-align Prestonvale Road was not substantiated by any traffic analysis. Although the Municipality could retain a traffic COI1SUItant to examine the suggestion, this would not be warranted due to the cost and the following reasons. The Recommended Plan designates Prestonvale Road south of Bloor Street as the Type C arterial road. In this location it provides good access to the fUture Community Pari(, accommodates both future industrial and residential traffic and was planned as an Integral part of the overall transportation network developed through various studies In south Courtice over the past few yeat'$. IfPrestonvale Road were to be realigned westerly, it would put a Type C arterial road In the middle of a residential neighbourhood in close proximity to schOOls and parks. Therefore the suggestion cannot be supported from both a land use and traffic planning perspectives. Furthermore, south-west Courtice and Its transportation network is an issue currently before the O.M.B. Staff felt that this is best addressed by the Board. With respect to the proposal to dead-end Prestonvale Road north of Bloor Street, this would appear to be consistent with Council's desire to maintain PrestonVlille Road (north of Bloor Street) as a local road. However, the timing must be further examined and determined as the need arises in future years to justify the construction of the cul-de-sac. We suggest that this Issue be best left to future Councils to determine the need, the timing and the cost .

Mr. Racansky'uubmission requested that specific conditions of draft approval to address ground water impacts be imposed for plans of subdivision on the Lake Iroquois ShorelIne. Staff note that Section 4.5.2 of the Plan requires the preparat!onan Environmental Impact Study for development on the~lroquols Shoreline which is to examine, among other matters, the cumulaliveimpactof developrntmt on ground water functions. In addition, Section 4<5.3 indicates that ....16 BEP9RT~. ~1~ PAGE 16 alternative storm water management techniques may be required for plans of subdivision in the Lake Iroquois Beach. Staff recommend that 1his prOllision be revised to broaden the requirement which may be impOsed on plans of subdivision to Implement an environmental impact study or watershed study. SAGA indicated a concern that the Plan did not specifically address the cumulative impact of development on ground water functions. Staff note that the requirements of the Environmental Impact Study as set 0l,It in Section 4.3.8 addresa development on the Lake Iroquois Shoreline. Section 14.6.2 also requires that any application for Offielal Plan Amendment on the Oak Ridges Moraine be evaltJated for its potential impact on the Moraine's features and functions. Staff recommend that this section be modified to specifically reference the Moraine's ground water functions and natural heritage system. ~ Revision 4. ThItt Section 4.5.3 be replaced with the following: "4.5.3 As a condition of draft approval, pians of subdivision located within the Lake Iroquois Beach shall contain provisions to implement the recommendations of any Environmental Impact Study or WBtershed study to maintain groundwater functions, including but not limited to, special house and infrastructure de$ign requirements, storm water management or constn.Iction techniques.' 5.

P,O-1:}96 PAGE 17 Comment Mr. Hann made a submission on behalf of Valiant Property ManagemElnt with respect to the internallaneway requirements of the Secondary Plan. Mr. Hann's concerns were: . the intemallaneway with its required width of 8 metres and the provision of easements to abutting owners was an onerous requirement. . provision should be made for the laneway to connect to Nash rather than Townline Road. WIth respect to the first concern, the requirement for the internal laneway is not a new policy. This policy was added as part of Amendment #41 to the Official Plan and AmandmElnt # 10 to the Courtice West Neighbourhood Plan (See Attachment #4). The pwpose of the east-west internal laneway is to allow internal movements between developments without requiring shoppers to use Highway 2. It creates a safer condition and improves the flow of traffic through an area which will become more congested with commercial development. Staff believe that the provision of this internal laneway continuously onto T ownline Road must be secured by easements to ensure that no one owner can block traffic through their site. At the time that the lands of Valiant Property ManagemElnt were added as part of the Sub-CentraI /vea, the internallaneway requirement was included. Mr. Hann concurred with the contents of the above-reference Amendments which was subsequently approved by Council. Staff reviewed the feasibility of the laneway within the context of the preliminary site plan submitted by Mr. Hann and are of the opinion that it's feasible (See Attachment #5). ....18 ~.t'Q.. ~13.11S p~~ " \Wh.ru~ to_1SS4J8 of lhe width of thelaneway, Planning staff havetevlewed this matter with PubUe Works staff.

The Implementation Section of the Official Plan states that the Official Plan is to be implemented by the zoning by- law. d) Regulation of matters covered under the Aggregate Resources Act. The APAO state that it may be misleading to regulate matters which are already regulated under the Aggregate Resources Act. They question whether the Municipality can regulate accessory uses according to Municipal standards as Section 15.3.2 of the Plan states. They are also concerned with our requirement for the submission of studies.and reports which may have already been conducted for the Ministry of Natural Resources. They want to avoid duplication. While the Municipality should not require unnecessary duplication, the Municipality is the primary agency responsible for land use regulation.

The Ministry suggested revislol'ls to recognize the Claringtonis part of a larger housing market area They were concerned that affordable hou$ing policies did not meet provincial policies which strive to achieve to provide for one half of "affordable housing" to address the needs of low income households. They also noted concerns that the 10 year residential land supply target was qualified by the financial capability of the Municipality to provide services. Staff's recommended revisions address most, but not all, of the Ministry's concerns. The Ministry's comments also indicated that the apartments-in-houses provisions will be changing and the Municipality may wish to review this policy. In this regard, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has indicated that changes to the Planning Act will restore the ability for Municipalities to regulate second units in houses and not be subject to the override provisions of Section 16 (2) of the current Planning Act. While staff are supportive in principle of apartments-in-houses, we have not been in agreement with all of the provisions under the existing legislation.n light of this pending change, staff will bring forward revisions to the Plan which would: . indicate that the second units are accessory to the main use; . not permit apartment-in-houses in townhouses; and . reference the need to register houses with two units.

The word "impact" should be added between "safety" and "mitigation measures" in Section 19.11.1 (b). 2. Since there are a number of land uses, in addition to residential, which are sensitive to rail noise and vibration, the policy statement in Section 19.11.2 should be amended to read "All new development within...". 3. Noise sensitive areas generally include lands lying within 300 metres of railway operations, and for vibration, sensitive areas generally include lands lying within 75 metres. Section 19.11.2 should be revised accordingly. 4. We request that the following policy be added as Section 19.11.13: "All proposed development adjacent to railways shall ensure that appropriate safety measures such as setbacks, berms and security fencing are provided, to the satisfaction of the Municipality in consultation with the appropriate railways." 5. We also request that the railway right-of-way be designated Transportation Corridor or Industrial. ...21 -2- 6. Provisions supporting the policies within Section 19.11 should be included within the appropriate Secondary Plans. We would appreciate the opportunity to comment on any proposed modification prior to its adoption, and ultimately, we request notice of the Plan being approved. Should Council decide to approve the Plan without incorporating the above policy, we have no alternative but to request that the Official Plan be referred to the Ontario Municipal Board pursuant to the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.P.13. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (416)217-2466.

One way to llChieve this: would be to insert "current aDd futDl'e" fit front of "residents" in 6.1.1.. and by changing the definit1Qn.e~ Housing by deleting "Municipality" and replacing it with "holnCq '~ area". @ . 01-03-1996 11: 59 416 585 7455 HOUS I NG AD\JClCACV ::'~ I; F.03 .2.

The Ministry supports the policy direction of this plan which will direct the major growth to compact urban areas and greatly reduce scattered rural residential uses in the agricultural designations. The following are comments on specific sections. 4. NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Staff support the changes to policies affecting woodlots in Section 4.7.6 and 4.7.7. 12.5 .2 12. RURAL SEITLEMENT AREAS Country Residential Subdivisions Subsection (g) references 'lands of high capability for agriculture' without defining the phrase. Staff recommend an additional definition in Section 24.12: High Capability Agricultural Lands "Lands that are predominantly Class 1 to 3 according to the Canada Land Inventory for Agriculture.. Ontario, there's no taste like home Un bon gout de chez nous ~~~ <:.j"D~ 2 13. AGRICULTURAL AREAS This Ministry supports the goal and objective of this section. The Agricultural Code of Practice has been revised and is now known as The Minimum Distance Separation Formulae. We recommend all existing references to the Agricultural Code of Practice be changed to The Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) Formulae. The MDS must be complied with for all new development, fann and non-farm related. The MDS must also apply to new or expanding livestock facilities. Rather than refer to the MDS in each subsection, staff recommend one general policy in the Agricultural Area section as follows: "New land uses, including the creation oC lots, and new or expanding livestock Cacilities will comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae" . References to the Agricultural Code of Practice can then be deleted in Sections 13.3.3 d), 13.3.4 c), 13.3.10 c). 13.3.3 13.3.4 13.3.6 This policy would be clearer if the phrase "non-Carm uses such as" was removed. This section permits "farm produce outlets'. It is unclear of the difference between this use and 'seasonal fann produce stands' of Section 13.3.2. If the uses are the same, the reference in section 13.3.3 can be deleted. If they are different, they should be defined. The present provincial land use policy (CSPS) does not permit non-fann uses such as golf courses in the agricultural designation. The new draft provincial land use policy, released January 2, 1996 is proposing to permit non-farm uses (except for non-farm residential) in an agricultural designation IF there is adequate justification. Criteria a) of 13.3.4 of this plan indicates a similar provision. In view of the draft provincial policy, this ministry can accept the principles of 13.3.4 but recommend to following changes: a) there is demonstrated a need for such a facility in the agricultural designation and there are no alternative sites in the Green Space or Waterfront Greenway designations. b) is not located on high capability agricultural soils. This section makes provision for fann related commercial/industrial uses. The plan does not address policy for home occupations as a secondary agricultural use. Such uses that are secondary and incidental to the farm operation and do not detract from the principle agricultural use can be permitted. They must be small in scale. Examples include minor equipment repair and welding shops. They can provide a source of additional fann income. The provincial policy permitting 3 these types of uses came into effect since the first draft of this plan. The municipality should consider adding appropriate policy. The draft Pickering official Plan addresses this issue in an appropriate manner. 13.3.7 Staff recommend deletion of the phrase "or as determined by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as a legitimate farming operation. The ministry may be available to assist and advise the municipality on specific operations, but the final decision will lie with the municipality. 13.3.8-10 The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs supports the consent policies of this plan. The Ministry does recommend an additional consent policy as Section 13.3.11 to deal with the creation of new agricultural parcels. A recommended wording is: 13.3.11 "New agricultural parcels will be permitted ouly where the severed and retained lots are intended for agricultural use, are sufficiently large to maintain flexibility for future changes in type or size of agricultural operation and are approximately 40 hectares in size. " 14. GREEN SPACE SYSTEM The Open Space System permits agricultural uses along with a number of non-farm uses. Staff note that this designation does not contain any consent or other types of farm related policies. Staff recommend that farm related policies similar to Sections 13.3.6 - 10 be permitted in this designation. New non-farm development must comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae in this designation as agriculture is a permitted use. Staff recommend an additional policy in Section 14.3 General Policies: "New land uses, including the creation of lots, and new or expanding livestock facilities will comply with the Minimum Distance Separation Formulae" . SCHEDULE" AI" Darlington and Clarke The Ministry supports the location of the rural designations in this draft of the plan. Schedule "A" now closely mirrors the designation locations of the regional plan. The Ministry does continue to have concerns regarding that area of Special Study Area #4 that is -north of Highway #115. Our position remains as outlined in a November 6, 1995 letter to Frank Wu, copied to Jeff Brooks. 4 Staff look forward to a response on the above comments.
