The purpose of this Addendum report is to present the proposed Official Plan Amendment, as directed by Committee. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The Northglen Neighbourhood lands, as well as other lands subject to residential development proposals in Clarington, are the subject of a Financial Impact Analysis. While a limited portion of the Northglen Neighbourhood was anticipated to be developed before 2014, the vast majority was planned for development beyond this time period. The Municipality's Development Charges Background Study of 2005 assumes that most of the infrastructure to support the Neighbourhood will be constructed after 2014. 2.2 The preliminary results of the Financial Impact Analysis were presented to the developers in October 2007. Developers were given time to review the information and respond prior to Hemson, the Municipality's consultant, finalizing a recommendation report. Most of the developers, whose lands are part of the Financial Impact Anaylsis have made additional submissions with respect to timing and phasing of their own development. This information is currently under review by Hemson, and will be taken into consideration in the final report scheduled for completion in January 2008. 3.0 PROPOSAL BY NORTHGLEN LANDOWNERS GROUP 3.1 In a letter dated November 13, 2007, prepared by Sernas Associates on behalf of the Northglen Landowners Group, a revised schedule for dwelling unit construction and timing of infrastructure improvements was provided. The schedule assumes that development of the neighbourhood will proceed in 9 phases, commencing in 2008 and will continue over a 22 year period until 2030. 3.2 The Landowner's Group made a proposal to contribute to the construction of some infrastructure works to address the impact of allowing the plans of subdivision to proceed at this time. The proposed infrastructure works are timed to various registrations of the plan of subdivision. The proposal does not however address any operating costs for the Municipality. Staff and the Municipality's consultants are currently reviewing the letter together with other submissions. We are not prepared to advise Council on the appropriateness of this proposal at this time but have highlighted some concerns below. This will be reviewed through the Financial Impact Analysis and subsequent reports of the plans of subdivision. ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: PSD-137-07 PAGE 3 The proposed contributions are noted below: 2008 - Undertake the design work for Middle Road to full urban standard from Concession Road 3 to north limit of subdivision, (910 metres) as part of the subdivision design. 2009 - 2011 Install street lighting on Regional Road 57 for 180 metres north and south of the first road providing access to the neighbourhood Place asphalt overlay on Middle Road from Concession Road 3 to (640 m) north 2014 - 2015 Install street lighting on Regional Road 57 for 180 metres north and south of second road providing access to the neighbourhood. The Landowners Group is proposing park construction in conjunction with the registration of the 3rd or latter phases of development as follows: a) 2014 -2015 Baysong Park (Northglen West) - construct pathways and soccer pitches b) 2018-2019 Kemp Park (Northglen East) - construct pathways and soccer pitches c) 2016-2017 Carruthers Parkette (Northglen East) - construct pathways and junior play structure d) 2020-2030 Abes Parkette (Northglen West) - construct pathways and play structure The total current value (2007) of this work is estimated by the proponent's engineer at $618,000. The scope of work and values proposed are also being reviewed by staff. 3.3 Comments on Parks Development Proposal The phasing plan submitted November 13 assumes that approximately 500 units will be constructed between 2008 and 2014 with no parks. The first park to be constructed would be approximately 7 years from now (2015). Staff do not support this. The developers proposal indicate that these parks that they propose to undertake is beyond developer's obligations. However, Engineering services has advised that aside from the play structures proposed in the parkettes, the description of what is being offered is essentially what is considered a local service and is normally required of the developer. According to the Background Study to the Development Charges By-law, in all new subdivisions the developer is required to prepare a detailed park concept, install subsurface drainage system, grade, topsoil and seed the park blocks. ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: PSD-137-07 PAGE 4 In order to maintain the level of service equivalent to our current standards the parks will require much more than what is described in their November 13 letter. Features such as water play areas, traditional play areas, park shelters, play courts, sports fields, walkway lighting, seating areas, and landscape planting are typically provided in Clarington's parks today, and as such this park would not be at an equivalent level of services to other parks in Bowmanville. The proposed development phasing does not have the parks included in the first phase of development for either the Northglen West or East. To ensure that the new residents have park facilities available to them the parks must be included in the first phases of development. The completion of the parks should be tied to the number of building permits issued. 3.4 Comments on Roads and External Capital Works The design work for Middle Road would be required for this development to proceed to accommodate Municipal and Regional services required. As such, Engineering services does not consider this to be additional to what would normally be required. In addition, there are other works external to this site that will be required for development to proceed in the Northglen Neighbourhood that have not been accounted for in the current capital works program or the November 13 Sernas letter. This includes upgrading Middle Road south of Concession Road 3 to Bons Avenue, as well as reconstruction of Concession Road 3. Without completion of these works the road conditions will decrease earlier and the Municipality will be required to expend funds for projects in an earlier year. Should the capital works not be completed the new residents of north Bowmanville will not receive a level of service comparable to other residential areas. 3.5 While the Landowner's Group has made a good-faith proposal, staff are reviewing this proposal, in the context of the Development Charges Background Study, ongoing commitments to other areas of the Municipality, and proposals being made by other developers subject to the Financial Impact Anaylsis. Much of the proposed $618,000 of capital works would be the developer's share under current municipal policy and practice. 3.6 Given that these items need to be negotiated further in the plan of subdivision process and that Council has not received the final report on the Financial Impact Analysis, it is recommended that a section be added to the Growth Management Section of the Official Plan with special policies for Northglen Neighbourhood. These are included in Official Plan Amendment 59 as presented. 4.0 PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT 4.1 The proposed Official Plan Amendment is shown on Attachment 2. The highlights of the proposed Official Plan amendment are noted below: ADDENDUM TO REPORT NO.: PSD-137-07 PAGE 5 o The amendment also proposed to approve the changes for the housing targets and population targets for the Northglen Neighbourhood, land use map and transportation maps. o A phasing plan is approved by Director of Engineering Services, Director of Planning Services and Director of Finance which demonstrates the orderly development of capital works and services required to service the lands will not impact the Municipality's capital budget. o Parkland must be dedicated in the first phase of development. Development may only proceed if the necessary capital works required for any phase of development are approved by Council in the annual capital budget process or through an agreement with the major landowners for development of capital works at no impact to the municipality's current or future Development Charges. o Development phasing will need to have regard for the Provinces intensification targets. o An Environmental Sustainability Plan must be prepared and approved to demonstrate how development in the Northglen Nieghbourhood will ensure the protection, conservation, and enhancement of air, water, ecological features and function, energy conservation and heritage resources. 5.0 CONCLUSION 5.1 As directed by Committee, it is recommended that Council adopt Amendment No. 59 to the Clarington Official Plan, as shown on Attachment 2, with the inclusion of some special growth management policies.
