1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update on information regarding site
plan application activity during 2006.
1.2 The Site Plan Control By-law requires that plans and drawings for any building or
structure be approved by the Municipality prior to issuance of a building permit
except for those exceptions stated in By-law 90-130. By-law 90-130 delegates
the approval authority of site plan applications to the Director of Planning
Services and the Director of Engineering Services.
1.3 Except for additions or minor expansions, a site plan approval is generally
required for a proposed development to ensure a comprehensive design review
of the location of all buildings and structures, landscaping, access locations,
grading, servicing, parking areas, signage and lighting etc., by all regulatory
authorities. In addition, it is through the site plan approval process that the
Municipality applies conditions of approval including requirements such as; cash-
in-lieu of parkland dedications, road widenings, and performance guarantees,
etc. Land owners are usually required to execute a development agreement with
the Municipality which is registered on title and is enforceable against present
and future owners.
2.0 SITE PLAN ACTIVITY
2.1 Attachment 1 to this report outlines all site plan applications received during the
period of January 1, 2006, and December 31,2006. The summary table includes
the following information: site plan application file number, the nature of the
application, location, and current status. Attachment 2 outlines all site plan
applications approved during the same time period.
Approval may be conditional on agreements being signed by the applicant,
executed by the Mayor and Municipal Clerk and then registered against title.
Until registration occurs, a building permit is not usually available.
2.2 Site Plan activity through 2006 was as follows:

Recent site plan application trends suggest a slight overall decline in the number
of applications received by the Municipality over the past few years.
2.3 A breakdown of site plan applications submitted in 2006 by land use type is
shown in the pie chart below.

The Municipality has exhibited strong commercial and industrial growth in 2006,
accounting for 33% and 28% respectively, of all site plan applications received.
Residential growth has remained steady with 23% of all site plan applications.
2.4 Site plans approved in 2006 by type are shown in Figure 3. These figures also
include site plans received in years previous to 2006.

Figure 3: Site Plan Applications Approved by Type, 2006
Site plan approval in 2006 was dominated by commercial site plan applications
which comprised close to half of all those approved. This trend is expected to
continue during the coming year with the recent Ontario Municipal Board
approval of Official Plan Amendments 43 and 44, and related zoning for
development in the West Bowmanville Town Centre and other commercially
designated property.
2.5 The total floor space and residential units approved in 2006 is illustrated in
Figures 4 and 5 below.
2.5.1 Figure 4 illustrates the total floor space approved by land use type. In 2006 there
has been 20,059 square metres of commercial floor space approved in the
development of 11 sites. A sample of the commercial uses for which floor space
was approved through the site plan process include new retail, expansion of
REPORT NO.: PSD-024-07

existing retail and commercial storage. Industrial floor space was approved
primarily for additions to existing facilities through 6 site plans. Institutional floor
space increased as a result of the approval of school additions, a place of
worship and two community clubhouses on 6 sites.

2.5.2 A summary of the residential units approved by dwelling type suggests that
Clarington's housing stock is becoming more diversified. As can be seen, the
number of apartment units continue to grow, as compared to a few years back
when few, if any apartments were being approved in Clarington. The single-
detached dwellings approved were in Wilmot Creek Retirement Community.

2.6 Site plans approved in 2006 by geographical area are shown in Figure 6 below.
As expected, most the site plan activity is occurring within urban areas. The rural
areas of Darlington and Clarke account for the remaining 21 % of approved site
plan applications in 2006, which include telecommunications towers, small stand
alone commercial and residential uses and institutional renovations.
2.6.1 Bowmanville continues to be the centre of Clarington's urban development
activity: 39% of the site plan applications approved in 2006 and 43% of those
received were in the Bowmanville urban area. There is an increase in the
medium and high density residential site plan applications, primarily proposing
residential forms such as townhouses and low-rise apartment developments.
Commercial site plan approval continues to be strong with both new retail and
the expansion of existing commercial/retail uses. There have also been site
plans received for site redevelopment within the Bowmanville urban area, which
is expected to increase as the area matures. Some of the site plans received in
2006 propose higher value commercial uses such as professional offices, hotels
and convention centres which have the potential to enhance Clarington's
employment and tourism opportunities. Finally, a number of site plans were
received and/or approved for school and institutional expansion, as services and
infrastructure keep pace with the growing residential population.

2.6.2 Newcastle Village had 24% of the approved site plans and 18% of the new site
plans received in 2006. This urban area is also seeing site plan proposals for
higher density residential developments and rejuvenation of the downtown
through small scale commercial proposals for uses including gas stations and
restaurants. Site plan applications were received for further residential growth
with proposals for a 64 unit condominium for seniors, and 8 low-rise residential
buildings.
2.6.3 Courtice urban area accounted for 11 % of the approved site plan activity and
approximately 14% of received site plans. The site plan activity in the Courtice
area consists of an industrial storage facility, an organic compost facility and an
institutional application for a church. There was no residential or commercial site
plan application in 2006 in the Courtice urban area.
2.6.4 Two site plan applications were approved in 2006 within the Wilmot Creek
Lifestyle Community. One was the 66 detached residential dwellings in Phase 7
and a community clubhouse addition.
2.6.5 There are 74 files open at year end 2006. Some have been recently received
and are in circulation for comments from other departments and external
agencies. Others have been open for longer periods. As these applications tend
to be more complex, they often require more time for potential zone changes and
REPORT NO.: PSD-024-07

resolving related issues. Site plan files awaiting further information are monitored
regularly by the assigned planner and a letter is sent to inform the applicant of
the status of the file. In 2006, overall development activity and staff workload has
led to delays in processing some applications.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 Site plan activity in 2006 has followed recent trends with strong growth in the
commercial and industrial sectors. In the last few years, higher density residential
proposals such as townhouse and apartment projects have become a more
significant component of site plan review activities. Of the 10 residential site
plans received in 2006, 70% proposed medium to high residential uses. This
figure has increased from 57% in 2005.
