LOCATION
The subject lands are located at the northwest corner of Highway 2 and Clarington
Boulevard in the Bowmanville West Main Central Area. The applicant's land
holdings total 1.0 hectare (2.5 ac). The property in legal terms is known as Part Lot
16, Concession 1 in the former Township of Darlington.
BACKGROUND
Section 5.2.1 a) (ii) of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan's
commercial policies currently does not permit clothing, shoe, jewelry fashion
accessory, yard and fabric, hardware, furniture, and home furnishing stores on the
Clarington Place Ltd. lands. This policy was the result of the decision of the Ontario
Municipal Board in 1994 based on the retail market evidence submitted by the
owner's retail consultant. The report indicated that sufficient market would be
available by 1998 to support these uses on the C1arington Place lands. As the
timeframe has elapsed, the applicant is requesting that this policy be deleted to
allow Clarington Place to attract an increased array of uses.
The Municipality initiated an official plan amendment (COPA 99-001) that among
other things, deleted a similar restriction in the Clarington Official Plan in Section
5.2.1 a) (ii). Council approved Amendment #15 to the Clarington Official Plan on
May 31, 1999. Once the Durham Region Planning Department approves the
amendment, zoning on the property may be amended to implement this change.
On April 13, 1999, Martindale Planning Services, on behalf of Clarington Place
Limited, submitted a rezoning application to the Municipality of Clarington. The
applicant proposes to increase the range of retail uses on the property.

North: Vacant land
West: Residential and vacant land
South: Commercial
5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 The lands are designated "Main Central Area" within the Durham Region Official
Plan. Retail commercial uses are permitted within this designation. The application
conforms to the policies.
5.2 Within the Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan, the subject lands
are designated "Retail Commercial". Once the Official Plan Amendment # 15 is
approved, the proposal will conform with the policies.
6. ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "General Commercial Exception (Cl-15)
Zone", which limits the range of commercial uses on the property. In order to
increase the range of commercial uses permitted on the property, a rezoning
application was submitted for consideration.
7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION
7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject
site and two public meeting notice signs were installed on the lands.
7.2 As of the writing of this report, no telephone inquiries or written submissions have
been received.
8. AGENCY COMMENTS
