G. M. Sernas & Associates Ltd. From "Agricultural (A)" to an appropriate zone to permit the development of Highway Commercial Uses. The estimated commercial floorspace is 15,150 m2 (163,100 sq. ft.) plus outdoor storage To subdivide the subject lands to create two (2) blocks for highway commercial and one (1) public use block. 7.69 ha (19.0 acres) Subdivision: Area: LOCATION The subject property is on the north west corner of Highway 2 and Green Road. It is located in Part Lot 17, Concession 1 and 2 of the former Township of Darlington, and is municipally known as 2340 Highway 2. BACKGROUND The rezoning application was sl!bmitted on March 9, 1998. On March 16, 1998, correspondence was received from the Region of Durham advising of the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision for the subject lands. Clarington Planning Staff completed a joint circulation of the applications. Green Martin Developments Ltd. and Green Martin Properties Ltd. are part of the Kaitlin Group Ltd. The applicant submitted a Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessment Report in support of the joint applications. The Phase 2 assessment was required as portions of the lands have been and are currently used for apple orchards. As a result of this land use, it is possible that substances containing elements such as arsenic and cyanide may be present in the soil. These substances have historically been used as orchard pesticides. The chemical analysis of four tests pit excavated indicated that the , , " PD-38-99 PAGE 3 concentration of the investigated parameters are below the limits specified in the Ministry of the Environment Guideline for commercial uses. The consultant has concluded that the site represents a low level of concern with respect to environmental contaminants. 3.3 The lands are governed by HSpecial Policy Area H" policies in the Clarington Official Plan. The Highway Commercial Area and Special Policy Area HHH designations were added to the Clarington Official Plan by Council at the time of adoption of the C1arington Official Plan on January 29, 1996 in response to the developer's request. At that time, Kaitlin made a commitment to construct a structure suitable for use as a tourist information centre on lands which would be dedicated to the Municipality. The structure would initially be used as a new home sales centre. The developer also indicated that they were committed to a high quality development at the gateway to the Municipal ity. 3.4 One of the requirements for the Special Policy Area H is that urban design guidelines be prepared prior to any development of the site. Urban Strategies Inc. and Totten Sims Hubicki were retained by the Municipality to prepare urban design guidelines and review the transportation requirements for the subject lands, and the existing Bowmanville West Main Central Area Urban Design Guidelines. 3.5 The Kaitlin Group ltd. and Willsonia Industries Ltd., which owns lands on the north east corner of Green Road and Highway 2, paid for the majority of the urban design study. The findings of the studies were summarized in PD-21-99, which was received for information by General Purpose and Administration Committee on March 1, 1999. The Urban Design Guidelines identified the Kaitlin lands as the West Bowmanville Gateway (WBG). The policies state that although the commercial uses to be developed in the WBG area differ from those of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area, urban design features should tie the two areas together. In addition the guidelines provide a framework for the zoning of the site by specifying setback requirements and building separations for future developments. ,'! " PD-38-99 PAGE 4 3.6 The urbanization of Highway 2 from Green Road to the western limit of the urban area was strongly recommended through the study. Urbanization includes removal of the super elevation, construction of curbs and gutters, a centre median, sidewalks and extension of theme lighting. This is considered an important element for creating a high quality gateway image. However, it is also important to ensure that the road infrastructure improvements occur prior to or simultaneously with the commercial development as done in the West Main Central Area. This ensures that: . road infrastructure is in place to accommodate increase in traffic; . disruption to business is minimized; and . required external road improvements are funded by the development. This issue attracted considerable attention as a result of the cost associated with urbanizing this portion of Highway 2. Comments from the Regional Works Department as well as Municipal Staff address this issue. 3.7 A Public Meeting for both applications was held May 4, 1998. In addition to the applicant, two people spoke at the meeting. One represented Millwork Home Centre and encouraged Committee to support the application. 3.8 The other person was Mr. Robert Martindale, the agent for Clarington Place Ltd. He noted that Bowmanville West Main Central Area is subject to stringent retail commercial policies and thresholds not applicable in this area. He further reminded Council of the financial obligations and commitment towards beautification his client has made with respect to existing development. He urged Council to ensure that all commercial developers "be requested to play on the same level field in order to be fair to those who set the stage for what is happening today". His concerns are related to the range of uses permitted in the West Bowmanville Gateway versus the Bowmanville West Main Central Area where population thresholds regulate the timing of development. Furthermore he wished to ensure that the streetscape in the West Bowmanville Gateway is developed to the same standard as required in the Bowmanville West Main Central Area. .~ ,. PD-38-99 PAGE 5 4. 4.1 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES Existing Uses: The subject bnds are currently used as an apple orchard, a golf driving range and residence West - South - North - Green Road and vacant land, as well as two residences fronting on Green Road existing residential fronting on Highway 2 Highway 2 and a new residential subdivision apple orchard and two residences fronting on Green Road. 4.1 Surrounding Uses: East- 5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject property Living Area. The predominant use of lands within this designation is for housing purposes. In addition, subject to the inclusion of appropriate provisions and designations in the area municipal official plan, Special Purpose Commercial Uses may be permitted. Special Purpose Commercial Uses shall serve Nspecialized needs on an occasional basis with services and facilities which consume larger parcels of land and require exposure to traffic such as, and similar in kind to, automotive sales and services, drive-in restaurants, motels, hotels, lumber yards, furniture and major appliance salesN. Rezoning for Highway Commercial uses would conform to the Durham Region Official Plan policies. 5.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands NHighway Commercial AreaN subject to Special Policy Area H. A designated collector road, delineates the north limits of Special Policy Area H. The Highway Commercial Area designation, similar to Special Purpose Commercial Area designation of the Regional Plan, is intended to serve the specialized needs on an occasional basis, with services and facilities which consume large parcels of land and require exposure to traffic. 5.3 The provisions of Special Policy Area H state that NCouncil has recognized Special Policy Area H as an important site which will be a gateway to the Bowmanville Urban '. " PD-38-99 PAGE 6 AreaH. In addition to the provisions contained within Section 10.9, the following additional specific provisions are applicable: . no service stations or motor vehicle service establishments shall be permitted; . prior to any development, the proponent shall enter into an agreement with the Municipality to construct a tourist information centre, no less than 0.5 ha in size at a location and design satisfactory to the Municipality. In addition, said centre and lands shall be conveyed to the Municipality for a nominal fee; and . the lands shall be subject to urban design guidelines to be prepared and approved by the Municipality. Subject to the recommendations of this report, these applications would conform to the Municipality's Official Plan 6. ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS 6.1 Part of the subject lands are zoned "Agricultural (A)H. The driving range portion of the subject property was zoned HAgricultural Exception (A-50)H. This was a temporary use by-law expiring on December 1998. An application to extend this temporary use zone was filed earlier this month. The driving range would occupy lands in Phase II of the proposed subdivision. 7. AGENCY COMMENTS 7.1 The application was circulated to a limited number of agencies and Municipal Departments to obtain comments on the rezoning and proposed draft plan of subdivision. 7.2 Ontario Hydro has advised that they have no objection to the applications. 7.3 Regional Works 7.3.1 Following a number of meetings and negotiations between the applicant, C1arington Staff and Regional Staff, Regional Works Staff provided comments at the end of March. They advised that muniCipal water is available from the existing 300 mm watermains along Highway 2 and Boswell Drive. The developer will be responsible for extending a 400 mm watermain on Green Road north of Highway 2 to the north limit of the '. PD-38-99 PAGE 7 development. A 300 mm watermain will also be required on proposed Street "A" & "B". 7.3.2 The subject lands were identified as being located within the Zone 2 water distribution system of the Bowmanville Urban Area. Water supply and pumping in Zone 2 is at peak capacity. Construction of a Zone 2 reservoir is anticipated to occur in the year 2000, subject to funding approval by Regional Council 7.3.3 The Region will not object to limited commercial development which relies on the Zone 2 system for the provision of water supply, provided that expected peaks and demand do not coincide with the normal evening residential peak flows. The development of restaurants or other intensive water users will not receive favourable comment. Unsprinklered commercial facilities or uses that require substantial fire protection will not be able to rely on the municipal water system as a source of fire protection until the Zone 2 reservoi r is constructed. 7.3.4 The Clarington Fire and Building Departments should be satisfied that fire protection can be provided through alternate means prior to permitting the issuance of building permits for the proposed commercial developments. 7.3.5 Sanitary sewers are dependent on the sequential extension of services along the future Uptown Avenue alignment from Clarington Blvd. westerly to Green Road. Diversion of sewage flows to the Green Road sanitary sewer ( at Highway 2) would be acceptable, however, the proponent is to ensure that the floor space index does not exceed 50% and that low water use establishments are only permitted. 7.3.6 Green Road is identified as a Type "B" arterial road. Regional Staff request the Municipality obtain sufficient road widening to provide a minimum 15.0 m from the centreline of the existing Green Road right-of-way along the total frontage of Green Road. Highway 2 in this location is designated as Type "B" arterial. No additional widening is required along the frontage ofthe subject site. " " PD-38-99 PAGE 8 7.3.7 The developer is proposing to develop the subject lands in two phases, therefore, comments are provided accordingly. The following are the developers requirements for each phase; Phase 1 . 50% of the costs for the construction of traffic control signals at the intersection of Green Road & Highway 2, including underground works which will include the interconnect easterly to connect with existing ductwork . Construction of a controlled access to Highway 2, approximately 70 m west of Green Road. This access must have a defined throat length void of interaction with parking maneuvers (similar to the design of the central access). . Construction of a temporary all.turns access to Highway 2, located approximately 200 m west of Green Road. This will include any works necessary for the temporary provision of an eastbound left turn lane to service this access. . Construction of a centre median island from the intersection of Green Road to approximately 75 m west of Green Road. Presently, there are existing residences on the south side of Highway 2, for which full access must be maintained. However, the developer must provide securities for the construction of the remaining median along the frontage of Phase 1. . Urbanization of the north boulevard from Green Road to the westerly limit of Phase 1. Phase 2 . Construction of a westbound right turn lane on Highway 2 to service the controlled access located approximately 200 m west of Green Road. . Full cost of traffic control signals including associated construction of geometric design improvements (Auxiliary lanes, median, etc.) at the intersection of Boswell Dr. and Highway 2, including required works for interconnection with traffic control signals at Green Road and Highway 2. . Construction of the centre median abutting Phase 2 and/or the provision of securities such that this proposed work can be incorporated with the future urbanization of the south side of Highway 2 from Green Road to Boswell Drive. . Urbanization of the north boulevard abutting Phase 2 and/or the provision of securities such that this proposed work can be incorporated with the future urbanization of the south side of Highway 2 from Green Road to Boswell Drive. Design details of the urbanization of Highway 2 will be provided as part of the engineering review process for Phases 1 and 2. 7.4 Central lake Ontario Conservation Authority 7.4.1 Central lake Ontario Conservation Authority originally raised storm water management .. ,. PD-38-99 PAGE 9 concerns with the appl ications as proposed. The majority of the lands were identified as being situated within the West S.ide Creek watershed, however, portions if not all of Blocks 2 and 3, as shown of the proposed draft plan, appear to be within either the Bowmanville or Darlington Creek watersheds. Central lake Ontario Conservation Authority Staff advised that the sub-watershed plans have not been prepared for either of these watersheds. Furthermore the land uses contained in the West Side Creek Master Plan are not consistent with what is being proposed today. 7.4.2 In response to the above comments, the applicant's engineer demonstrated, through the submission of a preliminary stormwater report, that all the lands will be drained to the West Side Creek watershed and the uses as proposed can be accommodated. Authority Staff have requested, as a condition of Draft Approval that a report be prepared describing the intended means of conveying stormwater flow from the site, including the use of stormwater management techniques. 7.5 Clarington Public Works Department 7.5.1 Public Works Department advised that they have no objection in principle to the applications subject to various conditions of approval. The applicant is responsible, to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, for determining the road and lotting configuration and servicing requirements on the north side of Street B, at his expense, and the developer will assume all costs of oversizing services within Street B. 7.5.2 The applicant is required to submit a phasing plan addressing traffic circulation, as well as staging of construction. In addition, the applicant must provide a Storm Water Management Implementation Report for the proposed development which is in accordance with West Side Creek Master Drainage Plan and any subsequent addendums, as approved. Furthermore, a lot Grading and Drainage Plan detailing the minor and major system must be prepared. 7.5.3 Public Works Staff identified the following external works required for Phase I which the appl icant is responsi ble for: " c' PD-38-99 PAGE 10 . reconstruct Green Road from Highway 2 northerly to the Phase I access of this development . urbanize the north side of Highway 2 from Green Road westerly to the west limit of Phase I . construct traffic control medians on Highway 2 from Green Road westerly to the west limit of Phase I . install traffic islands at the intersection of Highway 2 and Green Road including connecting with the existing island previously constructed to the east. 7.5,4 Public Works Staff identified the following external works required for Phase II which the applicant is responsible for: . urbanization of the north side of Highway 2 from west limits of Phase I to the west limit of the plan of subdivision . construct traffic control medians from the west limit of Phase I to the west limit of plan of subdivision . installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Boswell Dr. and Highway 2. 7.5.5 Public Works staff advised that development of a phase subsequent to Phase I cannot proceed until the Municipality has approved a Development Charge By-law which includes reconstruction of Green Road from Highway 2 northerly to Street B and the expenditure of funds for these works have been approved by Counci I. 7.5.6 In addition to complying with the Municipal Design Criteria and Standard Drawings for all internal and external works and services, the applicant shall ensure compliance with "Urban Design Principles and Guidelines for Bowmanville West Main Central Area and West Bowmanville Gateway" and the "Functional Engineering and Street Implementation Plan Bowmanville West Main Central Area" 7.6 Clarin~on Fire Department The Fire Department has been advised that there are currently water supply deficiencies for fire fighting purposes in the Zone 2 water supply area of Bowmanville. Therefore, prior to approval for each individual project, the Fire Department must be satisfied that there will be sufficient water supply for fire fighting purposes. ~ .' PD-38-99 PAGE 11 8. STAFF COMMENTS 8.1 Revisions to Draft Plan 8.1.1 Staff have red-line revised the draft plan of subdivision to implement the results of the urban design and transportation planning studies as follows: . Street B and the northerly limits of the plan of subdivision have been revised in accordance with the design work undertaken by the Municipality's consultant. . Block 1 has been further subdivided to introduce the private street (Street "C") and the westerly portion is renamed as Block 5 Block 3, a 0.5 ha (1.23 acre) parcel, is to be dedicated to the Municipality for public use purposes. 8.1.2 Blocks 1, 2 and 5 are proposed to be further divided as needed in the future through applications for Part Lot Control and Site Plan Approval. Although detailed site plan applications have yet to be filed, the applicant has advised that Millwork Home Centre is proposed to occupy approximately 1.6 ha, while other proposed uses include Tim Horton's, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. 8.2 Urban Design Guidelines 8.2.1 Prior to consideration of development applications, the Official Plan requires the preparation of urban design guidelines for the subject lands. On March 1, 1999, General Purpose and Administration Committee received a report on the work by Urban Strategies Inc., forwarding "A Framework for Development: Urban Design Principles and Guidelines for the Bowmanville West Main Central Area and the West Bowmanville Gateway". The following highlights some of the policies applicable from the urban design guidelines to the development of the subject lands: . A 3.0 m building setback is required for all buildings along Highway 2, establishing a consistent built form edge. This allows the development of a significant streetscape contributing to the identity and amenity of the area. Buildings are to be designed to address Highway 2 with fully developed architectural elevations. . Buildings will be configured to occupy a minimum of 60"10 of the Highway 2 frontage. Free standing drive-thru eating establishments are to be limited along the Highway 2 frontage. These establishments should be integrated within larger building complexes. " , PD-38-99 PAGE 12 . A 6.0 m setback is required on Uptown Ave. for all buildings, structures, fencing and parking areas. This facilitates a significant landscape buffer area between the commercial and the residential. . A consistent building setback on Green Road and the .Private Streets., between 0.0 m and 2.0 m is to be maintained. . Buildings will have fully developed architectural elevations and be oriented to emphasize corner locations. . Fencing associated with outside storage areas and buildings will be designed to complement the primary buildings and should exhibit similar architectural details and materials. 8.2.2 Three (3) levels of the transportation network were identified as being applicable to the subject lands: i) "Public Roads" include all existing roads and the future extension of Boswell Road (Street A) and Uptown Avenue (Street B); ii) "Private Streets are to be designed to municipal standards and may be assumed by the Municipality in the future (Street C)i and iii) "Major Private Lanes" will remain in private ownership and provide a logical extension to street network and access to parking areas. These will be implemented through the site plan approval 8.2.3 The applicant has not submitted a specific site plan application for the subject lands. The zoning by-law amendment contained in Attachment No.5 addresses some of the setback, height and use requirements contained in the urban design guidelines. Future development applications will be' reviewed in terms of the zoning as well as the urban design guidelines. 8.2.4 The Urban Design Guidelines will be forwarded to Council for approval at the same time as the related official plan amendment. However, the applicant has provided written confirmation that it does not object to the proposed policies. 8.3 Highway 2 and Green Road Urbanization and Access 8.3.1 As noted previously, the urban design guidelines provide direction for the Highway 2 streetscape in West Bowmanville Gateway to link with the Bowmanville West Main PD-38-99 PAGE 13 , Central Area. One of the steps to accomplish this includes urbanizing Highway 2 from Green Road to Boswell Drive, including removal of the super elevation and construction of a centre median, curbs, gutters and sidewalk. Access to the north side of Highway 2 through this section is to be directed to municipal roads; Green Road and Boswell Drive, one private street, and one additional right-in and right-out access point immediately west of Green Road. 8.3.2 With the development of each stage of the lands in the West Gateway Area, the Region of Durham and the Municipality require the developer to be financially responsible for the urbanization of the north side of Highway 2 and Green Road, the construction of the centre median islands and appropriate share for signalizing the intersection at Green Road (50%) and Boswell Drive (100%). 8.4 Zone 2 Water Requirements 8.4.1 Regional Works Staff advised that water supply and pumping in Zone 2 is at peak capacity. Construction of a new reservoir is expected in the year 2000. Limited commercial development relying on the Zone 2 system will be permitted but the Region cannot provide sufficient flows for fire-fighting purposes. In addition, land uses like restaurants or other water intensive uses will not be permitted. 8.4.2 The Fire Department has advised that prior to issuance of a building permit, they will need confirmation that sufficient water supply for fire fighting purposes exists. 8.4.3 Staff are aware that members of the development industry with interests in Bowmanville are actively seeking a solution to the Zone 2 water supply timing problem. 8.5 Public Use Parcel 8.5.1 An overview of the arrangements made at the time of the adoption of the Clarington Official Plan is provided in Section 3.3. Given the recent investment in a new tourist information centre at Liberty Street, another information centre is not likely required in this location. Accordingly, part of the implementing official plan amendment resulting - . PD-38-99 PAGE 14 from the report by Urban Strategies Inc. includes revisions to the Official Plan to provide for public uses on this site. 8.5.2 A condition of draft approval for plan of subdivision 18T-98004 is that Block 3 be dedicated to the Municipality. The future subdivision agreement would specify lease- back arrangements to the Owner at a nominal rate (including taxes) for the driving range and any future home sales centre for residential lands to the north. 8.5.3 Representatives of The Kaitlin Group has provided written confirmation that they have no objection to the official plan amendment or urban design guidelines as it relates to their lands. 8.6 Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment 8.6.1 Staff had a number of discussions with the proponents with respect to the uses proposed on the subject lands. The zoning by-law amendment as drafted and contained in Attachment No.5 is not as wide ranging as the list of uses originally proposed by the Kaitlin Group. It is also more restrictive than the current Special Purpose Commercial (C4) Zone. However, it is in conformity with the policies of the Clarington Official Plan and the intent of the Highway Commercial Area designation, to serve the "specialized needs of consumers on an occasional basis with services and facilities, which consume larger parcels of land and require ~xposure to traffic". 8.6.2 The proposed zoning by-law requires that a "Home Improvement to Building Supply Store" must have a minimum floor space of 1,400 square metres (15,070 square feet) and a "Furniture and Home Accessories Store" must have a minimum floor space of 700 square metres (7,535 square feet). Other permitted uses such as a Garden and Nursery Centre, Light Equipment Sales and Rental, and Motor Vehicle Sales Establishment have significant outdoor storage area requirements which are land extensive. In order to be in conformity with the policies of the Official Plan and to differentiate the function of the "Highway Commercial Area" from a designated "Central Area" a minimum floor area is required. A minimum floor area is consistent with the official plan policies requiring . PD-38-99 REVISED PAGE 15 Highway Commercial Area uses to "consume larger parcels of land". 8.6.3 In consideration of the differences in planned function of a Highway Commercial Area versus a Main Central Area, and the Ontario Municipal Board decision to limit retail floor space construction within the Bowmanville West Main Central Area to achieved population thresholds, Planning Staff believe it is prudent to maintain a minimum floor space requirement, thereby differentiating between the two commercial designations. 8.7 Site Plan and Master Grading Plan 8.7.1 The proponent is required to prepare a comprehensive site plan for the development of each phase of the subject lands. The Site Plan Agreement will illustrate the location of all Private Roads and Major Private Lanes. It will indicate building, parking and landscape areas and locations. It will provide a Master Drainage and Grading Plan, as well as identify site servicing for the lands. Future individual Site Plan and Part Lot Control applications will be required to conform to all overall plan and detail building elevations and landscape material. 9 CONCLUSION 9.1 In light of the need to proceed as quickly as possible for the Millwork proposal, The Kaitlin Group has provided the assurances indicating that they would not object to the approval of the Municipality's official plan amendment and the urban design guidelines. However, they also indicated that they would consider the Municipality's proposed official plan amendment as a "precedent" for their own application for additional retail lands or transfer of retail density. Staff is concerned about the implications of this statement and will be reviewing the matter further. 9.2 In consideration of the favourable comments received from the circulated agencies, Staff recommend approval of the proposed draft plan of subdivision, as red-line revised in Attachment No.4. Furthermore, the subject rezoning application is recommended for approval. The holding symbol will be removed by By-law once the land owner has: i) entered into a subdivision agreement with the Municipality, to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works and the Director of Planning and Development; , PD-38-99 PAGE 16 ii) transferred the lands identified as Block 3 to the Municipality for public use purposes in accordance with the Clarington Official Plan and the conditions of draft approval contained in Attachment No.3; iii) execute a site plan agreement for all the specific phase of development; and iv) execute a subdivision agreement with the Regional Municipality of Durham.
