The lands are further described as being north of George Reynolds Drive and east of Trulls Road. The subject property is located immediately behind (east of) the Courtice Fire Station. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 On March 23, 1999, the Municipality of Clarington Planning Department received the referenced Zoning By-law Amendment application. The Region of Durham forwarded a request for comments on the proposed Plan of Subdivision application of March 30, 1999. The subject lands are part of the Glenview Neighbourhood in the Clarington Official Plan. Said neighbourhood has been subject to a Neighbourhood Design Plan, which is expected to be approved shortly. Furthermore, in accordance with the policies of the Official Plan an Environmental Impact Study has been undertaken for various environmental features contained within the neighbourhood. 4. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 Existing Uses: The subject land is currently vacant 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East vacant wooded land West - Fire Station and existing residential fronting on Trulls Road South - Existing residential on Meredith Court and Pidduck Street North - vacant wooded land 602 . . REPORT PD-61-99 PAGE 3 5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 Within the Durham Region Official Plan the subject lands are designated Living Area with Environmentally Sensitive Areas. The predominant use of land within the Living Area designation shall be for housing purposes. Development within or adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas requires an environmental impact study to be undertaken in consultation with the respective area municipality and at the expense of the appl icant. 5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan the subject lands are located within the Glenview Neighbourhood of the Courtice Urban Area and are designated Urban Residential and Environmental Protection Area. The predominant use of land within the Urban Residential designation shall be for housing purposes. The Environmental Protection Areas identify the Municipality's natural environment. The ecological function of the Environmental Protection Areas is to be preserved and protected. Map C - Natural Features and land Characteristics identifies the parcel as being traversed by a cold water stream, containing portions of a Tableland Woodlot and within the lake Iroquois Beach. The policies of Section 4 of the Plan require an environmental impact study be undertaken where development is within or adjacent to any of the above features. 5.3 An environmental impact study was recently completed for the subject natural features in association with other land use applications in the neighbourhood. The Official Plan requires the preparation of Neighbourhood Design Plans prior to consideration of a proposed plan of subdivision. Such a plan has also been completed and is expected to be approved shortly. The application is consistent with the plan. 6. ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS 6.1 The subject lands are zoned "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)". The Envi ronmental Protection Zone appears to affect the north west corner of the 603 . REPORT PD-61-99 PAGE 4 site, where a tributary to the Farewell Creek traverses the property. The tableland portion of the site is zoned "A". The "A" zone is used as holding category, prior to development in parts of the Courtice and Bowmanville urban area. Neither zone would permit the development of the proposed 20 single detached dwelling units. 7. PUBLIC MEETING AND SUBMISSION 7.1 Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner and tenant within 120 metres of the subject lands and a public notice sign was installed on the lands. 7.2 Staff received one call with respect to the applications. The caller wished to ensure this application did not compromise the future park (Block 34 of 40M-1945) on the north side of George Reynolds Drive, opposite Pidduck Street (abutting to the west of the proposed development). He also wanted confirmation on the timing of the park development. The future park is proposed to be enlarged by 0.274 ha through the development of the subject appl ications. 8. AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the applications were circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. As of the writing of this report a number of agency comments remain outstanding. The following departments/agencies in providing comments offered no objection or concerns with the application as filed: Clarington Fire Department; Ontario Hydro. 8.2 Comments received from the Region of Durham advised that the subject lands are designated Living Area in the Durham Regional Official Plan with an indication of an environmentally sensitive area. The lands designated Living Area shall be primarily used for housing purposes. The applicant has submitted an Environmental Impact Study for the lands, which is currently being reviewed. In addition, the site has been identified as having high archeological potential. Therefore a cultural 6iJ4 REPORT PD-61-99 PAGE 5 heritage resource assessment will be required as a condition of draft approval. 8.3 Regional Works has advised that municipal services are available for the site. The applicant is required to submit geotechnical soils reports to Regional Works staff for approval 8.4 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board advised that the proposed applications will yield 7 students to Courtice North Public School. Said school is currently over capacity with eight (8) portables. The Board has no objections to this application. 9. STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The proposed applications would facilitate the development of 20 single detached dwellings with 12.0 metre, minimum frontage lots on a cul-de-sac. In addition, Block 21 is a 0.274 ha Park block and Block 22 is a 0.38 ha Open Space block. 9.2 The land owner is involved in another rezoning and proposed plan of subdivision application within the neighbourhood. As a result of the other applications, an environmental impact study (EIS) was completed for a portion of the neighbourhood including the lands subject to this application. A report supporting the recommendations to the EIS was previously prepared and considered by Committee May 4, 1998 (PD-59-98). The neighbourhood plan is expected to be finalized to the satisfaction of Staff and the various commenting agencies shortly and information report dealing with the Neighbourhood Design Plan will be forwarded to Committee. 9.3 In accordance with Council's decision of May 10, 1999, it is Staff's intention to incorporate the requirement for two outdoor parking spaces in the rezoning on these lands. 605 REPORT PD-61-99 PAGE 6 10.
