Report Overview
This is a public meeting report to provide an overview of the Urban Design Master Plan and
Design Guidelines for the property at 2020 Lambs Road, the Jury Lands. The central portion
of the property has significant cultural and historic value to the residents of Clarington, the
Province of Ontario and the Country of Canada. It was the first Boys Training School in the
Province of Ontario when it officially opened in August of 1925. During World War II the
Department of National Defence appropriated the property and used it as one of Canada’s
prisoner of war camps, Camp 30. In addition to the uses of the property the architectural
styling of the buildings, demonstrate Prairie Style features which are rare and unique in Ontario
and Canada.
The Municipality has been working with the owners, Lambs Road School Development (Kaitlin
Group and Fandor Homes), to outline the development principles and acquire the central
portion of the campus. The Jury Lands Foundation are poised to assist with the re-use of the
buildings and interpretation of the site.
In January of 2017 the Municipality retained DTAH to prepare a special study as outlined in the
Official Plan, Special Policy 16.7 to set out how the central portion of the campus is to become
a municipal wide park and the urban design and architectural guidelines for the surrounding
development.
1. Proposal Details
Proposed Official Plan Amendment
1.1 The Municipality proposes to:
amend Section 16.7 of the Official Plan regarding Special Policy Area F Camp 30 to
make reference to and implement the completed Community Vision and Master Plan
process; and
identify a Municipal Wide Park and designate certain additional lands Urban
Residential consistent with The Jury Lands Urban Design Master Plan + Design
Guidelines.
Proposed Urban Design Master Plan
1.2 The Jury Lands, Bowmanville, Urban Design Master Plan + Design Guidelines identified
a development framework and site planning strategies and architectural guidelines for the
neighbourhood, proposed adaptive reuse of the Jury Lands buildings, a preliminary park
concept and proposed phasing.
1.3 Area: 48.05 hectares

2. Background
2.1 The 42.62 ha (105 acre) parcel at 2020 Lambs Road was formerly part of the Darch Farm
prior to its donation to the Ontario government in the early 1920s by J. H. H. Jury for the
purpose of establishing a boys training school. The northern 5.42 (13.4 acre) parcel is
part of the farm at 2640 Lambs Road, it was not part of the Boys Training School or
Camp 30.
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report PSD-067-18
2.2 The Boys Training School officially opened in August of 1925. Various buildings were
constructed over the next several years, by the Government of Ontario. Archival records
indicate that the cafeteria and first dormitory were built in 1925, a gymnasium and
swimming pool in 1927, a large triple dorm in 1928 and a hospital in 1937.
2.3 During World War II the property was appropriated by the Department of National
Defence and used as a German Prisoner of War camp, known as Camp 30. The Camp
housed up to 800 detainees, many of which were German officers. There was an
uprising at Camp 30 following the Dieppe raid in 1942 when an order was issued to
shackle German POWs housed in camps across Canada. Historically recorded as the
“Battle of Bowmanville”, the uprising lasted for three days until it ended with the
assistance of the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps from Kingston. This uprising is the
only known battle of its kind on Canadian soil and has national and international
significance. Occupation of the Training School as Camp 30 ended in April of 1945.
2.4 Use as a Training School resumed, name changes occurred and other changes related to
the philosophy of dealing with young offenders eventually saw the elimination of Training
Schools in Ontario in 1979. The Province offered the property to the Municipality at fair
market value in 1983. The Council of the day declined, citing acquisition cost, cost of
maintenance, building renovation costs, other operational matters and the distance of the
facility from Bowmanville’s downtown.
2.5 Between 1983 and 2008 the property was used as different schools including from 1987-
1998 when a portion of the property was leased for St. Stephen’s Catholic Secondary
School. While the property was operated as a school 1983-2008, the sports fields were
leased by the Municipality and used by many of the recreational leagues in Clarington.
2.6 In 2007 the property was purchased by Lambs Road School Property Ltd.
(Kaitlin/Fandor). Darul Uloom, an Islamic University, had owned the lands since 2004
and continued to operate until they relocated in October of 2008. The private sewage
treatment system for the site failed and an order from the Ministry of the Environment
meant either costly repairs or replacement of the private system or connection to the
municipal sewage system. The site has been vacant since 2008.
2.7 In 2009 Lambs Road School Property Ltd. applied for an Official Plan amendment to
move the Community Park from the northwest intersection of Lambs Road and
Concession Street north to the location of the historic buildings; redesignate the
community park area as Urban Residential and add a Medium Density Residential
Symbol. In addition subdivision and zoning applications were also submitted.
2.8 In 2013 the site was declared a National Historic Site by the Historic Sites and
Monuments Board of Canada. Based on the strength of the national designation Council
authorized staff to assist with the formation of the Jury Lands Foundation.
2.9 The 2014 conditions survey and mothballing plan by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd.
Architects and a structural assessment by Ojdrovic Engineering Inc. indicated that the
buildings are still in surprisingly good condition considering their exposure to
environmental conditions and vandalism.
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report PSD-067-18
2.10 In 2015 a trail license agreement to allow for the extension of a walking trail from
Sprucewood Drive to the campus and south to Concession Street was entered into
between the owners and Municipality. In 2016 an agreement was reached with the
property owners regarding lands that would upon development of adjacent parcels be
turned over the Municipality as parkland.
2.11 Early in 2017 the Municipality retained DTAH to develop an overall community vision for
the urban design and architectural guidelines of development sites and concept plan for
the parkland by integrating the re-use of the heritage resources. Based on the work of
DTAH and Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd. Architects the six buildings and their setting
within the ring road were designated under the Ontario Heritage Act Part IV in January of
2018.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The property at 2020 Lambs Road is culturally and historically significant at a local,
provincial and national level. The past uses of the site, as a Boys Training School and
Prisoner of War Camp, and the Prairie style architecture of the buildings in a campus
setting, are historically significant and unique. The Historic Sites and Monuments Board
of Canada has recognized the significance of the uses and the architecture by
designating the property a National Historic Site.
3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North CPR tracks and farmland which is outside the urban boundary.
South Draft approved 541 unit residential plan of subdivision, currently subject to an
application to increase to 612 units.
East Future urban residential lands subject to the Soper Hills Secondary Plan.
West The Soper Creek valley and residential subdivisions dating from the late 1990’s.
4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
4.1 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.
4.2 Significant built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved.
Planning authorities can permit development and site alternation on adjacent lands to
designated heritage properties where the proposed development demonstrates that the
heritage attributes and designated property will be conserved.
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report PSD-067-18
4.3 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.
Provincial Growth Plan
4.4 The majority of subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and
employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new
growth to the built up areas through intensification and efficient use of existing services
and infrastructure. The development of complete communities is encouraged by
promoting a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment and housing types, high
quality public open spaces and easy access to local stores and services. The Growth
Plan establishes minimum residential targets. The future subdivision applications will
have to demonstrate their consistency with the Growth Plan.
Provincial Growth Plan 2017
4.5 A new Provincial Growth Plan was released May 18, 2017. As of July 1, 2017, all
decisions made by Council are to conform to the new plan. The new Growth Plan
continues to reinforce and provide stronger policies to guide growth in consideration of:
Making use of existing infrastructure;
Addressing traffic congestion in the GTA;
Avoiding the environmental impacts of continued urban sprawl, and impact to
natural resources;
Avoiding low density and automobile dependent development;
Accommodating an aging population and providing more varied housing unit types
and affordability;
Supporting the Province’s commitment to its Climate Change Action Plan.
4.6 With the next comprehensive review, the new target for existing Greenfield Areas (5.42
ha at the north) will be 60 residents and jobs combined per net hectare in the Greenfield
Area. New development in Greenfield Areas shall support the achievement of complete
communities; support active transportation and encourage the integration and sustained
availability of transit services.
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Area. Lands designated
Living Area permit the development of communities incorporating the widest possible
variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations and address
various socio-economic factors.
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report PSD-067-18
5.2 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.
5.3 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.
5.4 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.
5.5 Corridors have the following characteristics:
Promote transit having a mix of uses with higher densities;
Have a sensitive urban design that orients development to the corridor and access
points are consolidated;
Maintain and enhance historical main streets, and integrate new development with
existing;
Preserve and enhance cultural heritage resources.
Clarington Official Plan
5.6 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.
Two of the objectives of the Official Plan are:
to create walkable neighbourhoods and to provide a variety of uses within each
neighbourhood.
to provide for a variety of housing densities, tenure and types in neighbourhoods for
all incomes, ages and lifestyles.
5.7 The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands as Urban Residential and
Environmental Protection except for the former campus area which had no designation.
The Urban Residential designation shall predominantly be used for housing purposes,
providing for a variety of densities, tenure and types. Neighbourhoods are to be
walkable, compact, connected and create a high quality public realm. The lands
associated with the Soper Creek valleylands and tributaries are designated
Environmental Protection. The natural environment policies require a minimum 15
metres setback from natural heritage features including watercourses and valleyland.
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report PSD-067-18
5.8 The Clarington Official Plan establishes urban structure typologies and built form
directives. The subject lands are adjacent to a “Local Corridor”, being Lambs Road.
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 along the local
corridor. The mix between low-rise (two-four storeys) and mid-rise (five-six storeys) shall
generally be split 80% and 20%, respectively. Corridors are approximately 100 metres
deep on both sides of the road.
Special Policy Area F – Camp 30
5.9 Special Policy Area F called for the development of a community vision and urban design
plan for the long term use of the lands while respecting the nationally designated cultural
heritage resource. The study was to set out design principles, architectural control
guidelines and a Master Block Plan. In addition, it was to determine the adaptive reuse of
the heritage structures and their integration with future land use while ensuring public
access to the heritage resource from the surrounding residential neighbourhoods and the
Soper Creek trail system.
5.10 The majority of the Special Policy Area is within the Built Boundary. The building
typologies are set out in Table 4.3 as 13 units/net hectare and 1-3 storey height for the
area internal to the neighbourhood. This would produce a mix of townhouses, semi-
detached and detached dwellings. The northern most parcel is “greenfield” and subject
to the 60 residents and jobs per gross hectare policies.
6. Public Notice and Submissions
6.1 A public information session was held at John M. James School on June 13, 2018 where
the consultant, DTAH had display panels explaining the overall Urban Design Master
Plan + Design Guidelines. The consultant provided a presentation on the proposed land
uses, development framework and building typologies. The consultant and staff fielded
questions prior to the presentation in a one-on-one setting and as a general
question/answer session following the presentation.
6.2 Over 40 people attended the public information session which had been advertised in the
local newspapers, on the municipal website and through social media. The meeting was
held concurrently with the Soper Creek Trail, Phase 2 meeting. Notification included all
adjacent property owners on Sprucewood and Guildwood. In addition the owners of the
property parcels affected by Special Policy Area F were notified.
6.3 The display panels and presentation have been posted to the municipal website since
June 14, 2018 with a request for comments by July 31, 2018 To date comments from the
public received have been:
Retain natural beauty and as many of the historic buildings as practical
Consider wildlife, ecology, natural spaces, protect species at risk
Include community gardens on the site to serve nearby proposed residences
Support idea of demonstration garden with produce supplying local eatery
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PSD-067-18
The development and building form appear to be higher in density than adjacent
lands and should be less dense and lower in height.
Provide special event venue space for 100+ people
Property has been subject to severe vandalism
6.4 The land owners concerns include:
The limited range of land uses, density and built form types include in the vision for
the Jury Lands, which amongst other matters could have a direct impact on
affordability and accessibility;
Lack of clarity on how the integration of the vison for the Jury Lands will work with
the vison for the Secondary Plan area to the east, including the creation of a hub at
the Lambs Road and east-west street;
Incomplete information on future process, and associated timing, to implement the
vision including opportunities to participate prior to the preparation of statutory
documents.
6.5 The Jury Lands Foundation is supportive of the Jury Lands Urban Design Master Plan +
+ Design Guidelines report. The Jury Lands Foundation purpose is to ensure the
residential development complements the heritage of the site:
this will create a destination park that citizens of not just Bowmanville but beyond
could travel to and learn about the history of the site along with the unique example
of the Carolina forest,
the site will be linked into the trail system, and
the access as proposed means people can walk, ride bicycles or use public transit
along with a car to access the park from Concession St, Lambs Rd or the trail.
Further, it would be beneficial to approve the plans and begin development of the park
area; thereby giving the Jury Lands Foundation the opportunity to begin the process of
repurposing the heritage buildings.
6.6 The Official Plan amendment recommended for Special Policy Area F – Camp 30 was
made available to the interested parties and posted to the website on August 17, 2018.
7 Agency Comments
Regional Municipality of Durham
7.1 As of the writing of this report, formal comments had not been received from the Region
of Durham.
7.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has no objections and offers strong support
for the proposed community vision, Urban Design Master Plan and Guidelines. In
particular they support the designation of a Municipal Wide Park and associated Natural
Heritage System. They offered the following comments: “The proposed land use
designations on Map A3 should provide for an enhanced level of environmental
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PSD-067-18
protection including future restoration and enhancement opportunities for a robust
permanent natural heritage system.” They support the inclusion of the policy which
requires the implementation of low impact development practices for stormwater
management through the development process. CLOCA staff appreciate the progressive
nature of the proposed policies and believe they will protect the natural heritage and
water resource systems while allowing for development with green infrastructure
measures. CLOCA’s detailed comments on the guidelines are included as Attachment 3.
Other Agencies
7.3 Veridian has no objections and asked that when development is to proceed that the
appropriate application be submitted. As of the writing of this report, no other agencies
have submitted comments.
8 Departmental Comments
Engineering
8.1 The Engineering Services Department has no objection to the report as presented. At the
detail design stage, stormwater management facility options will need to be evaluated
based on in-situ conditions, design parameters and feasibility. Any proposed stormwater
management facilities will not considered as part of the parkland dedication requirements.
The overall road network layout for the development is acceptable. Standard Municipal
Right of Way sections will be utilized for public roads and the Engineering Department is
agreeable to a modified Right of Way section for the Park Lane running adjacent to the
valley lands. Parking for the development should meet standard requirements at a
minimum.
8.2 Emergency and Fire Services, Operations and Clerk’s Departments have to date not
provided comments; however they have been consulted during the development of the
community vision and Urban Design Guidelines.
9 Discussion
Urban Design Plan
9.1 The Urban Design Master Plan prepared by DTAH and dated July 20, 2018 contains a
development framework that can accommodate a range of housing types and landscapes
while preserving the central campus area of the site for parkland and public uses. The
development framework outlines the Street and Pedestrian Network, Built Form, Housing
Types and Stormwater Management. The residential development parcels are defined
by the environmental protection lands of the Soper creek valley and tributaries.
9.2 Lambs Road is a Local Corridor in the Official Plan. The Local Corridor policies support
mixed-use developments up to six storeys in height, provided the policies of the Official
Plan can be satisfied (80/20 split) of low rise (2-4 storeys) and mid-rise (5-6 storeys). The
northwest corner of Lambs Road and Concession Street is the most logical place for the
Municipality of Clarington Page 11
Report PSD-067-18
mid-rise buildings. The remainder of the developable area is envisioned as 1-3 storeys
including town homes, semi-detached and detached dwellings.
9.3 The street network is composed of primary streets with major intersections and
secondary streets with minor intersections. Key to the development of the area will be
the east/west connections spaced out along Lambs Road at:
the northern boundary of the future community park on the east side of Lambs Road;
centred to the campus/municipal-wide park, and
off-set from the rail line to accommodate the future overpass (rail crossing).
The ring road and former campus road entrance from Concession Street are to be
retained as a park lane with its rural cross-section to access the park.
9.4 The built form and distribution of development combined with open space encourages
active transportation and pedestrian access to the Soper Creek’s trail system and limits
privatization of the valleyland frontage. The approach to stormwater management is to
integrate runoff by allowing for infiltration within the soft surface areas through low impact
design solutions.
9.5 The focal point of the neighbourhood is the central campus/municipal-wide park and its
historic buildings. The Urban Design Master Plan outlines adaptive re-use suggestions
for each of the buildings with complimentary exterior garden spaces to reinforce the re-
use of the buildings. It is anticipated that the buildings will be mothballed for a period of
time awaiting funding for redevelopment.
Official Plan Amendment
9.6 The purpose of establishing Local Corridors in Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107 is
to support the Growth Plan and Regional Official Plan population and housing targets.
Encouraging higher densities in key areas further support transit initiatives and build a
critical mass to support the expansion of transit services. Higher densities also alleviate
consumption of agricultural land, support climate change initiatives, and provide a range
of housing choices.
9.7 The major issues considered are as follows:
Conformity to the existing and new Growth Plan, the Regional Official Plan, and the
new Clarington Official Plan.
Built form, density and site layout.
Traffic, access, signalization, parking and active transportation.
Transitions between environmental protection lands (e.g. valleylands) and the
adjacent residential neighbourhood.
Urban Design elements, including private amenity spaces.
Municipality of Clarington Page 12
Report PSD-067-18
Reinforcement of the heritage resources and elements as outlined in the National
Historic Sites and Monuments of Canada designation.
9.8 The proposed Official Plan amendment restricts the number of housing units to 650
which would allow for a variety of housing types and built form.
9.9 The proposed residential development limits along the Soper Creek valley and
tributaries have yet to be established. The issues that will have to be addressed at the
time of subdivision, zoning and site plan applications include the following:
Establish the development limits through an Environmental Impact Study (EIS)
considering slope stability, natural heritage and mitigating impacts;
The stormwater management system features and on-site low impact measures that
maintain the appropriate water balance;
Active transportation connections for residents along Lambs Road and Concession
Street and to the Soper Creek valley trail;
The signalization of Lambs Road and Concession Street intersection;
Parkland dedication requirements in light of the anticipated development on both the
east and west sides of Lambs Road involving lands owned by the development
partners.
10 Concurrence
Not applicable.
11 Conclusion
11.1 An application by Lamb`s Road School Property Ltd. was submitted in 2009 to amend
Map A3 of the Official Plan to shift the Community Park from the southwest corner of
Lamb`s Road and Concession Street. This application pre-dated Amendment 107
which has moved the community park to the northeast corner of Lambs Road and
Concession Street. This application is now redundant and at the request of the property
owner could be closed.
11.2 Subdivision and zoning applications were submitted in 2009 for the most southern
residential development block (6.82ha). Those applications were the subject of a Public
Meeting in June 2010. When a revised subdivision plan is submitted another public
meeting will be required given the amount of time that has transpired.
11.3 The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the recommended
Official Plan amendment to Special Policy Area F – Camp 30. It is proposed that the
central campus within the ring road south of the tributary (5.96 ha) be designated green
space with a municipal wide park symbol. For the area north of the tributary (0.36 ha),
the Jury Lodge location, the designation is proposed to change from urban residential to
green space with a municipal wide park symbol. The undesignated lands just south of
the north tributary at Lambs Road (0.35 ha) and just north of the south tributary at
Municipality of Clarington Page 13
Report PSD-067-18
Lambs Road (0.31 ha) are proposed to be designated urban residential. These
designations would allow for the lands surrounding the designated heritage buildings to
be developed to compliment the adaptive re-uses suggested for the heritage buildings.
The remaining 18.34 hectares of developable land, was designated urban residential by
Amendment 107.
11.4 Upon receiving comments from the public, property owners and agencies staff will
prepare a subsequent report.
