Ms. No Racansky circulated a copy of her presentation and stated that she is concerned about the Black-Farewell watershed study prepared by CLOCA, Ganaraska, GRCA, Environment am Canada, Ontario Power Generation and Durham Region for Durham Regional costal wetlands. She feels that the community wants a clean and steady supply of water, .m protection against flood, contamination of water and recent severe climate conditions like rain, air temperature, winds. All this depends on the amount of natural areas within our watersheds. She requested Council and Municipal Staff to consider current conditions of the Black-Farewell.

The site area totals 1.02 hectares (2.52 acres). The property is located within Part Lot 34, Concession 2, in the former Township of Darlington. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On July 22, 2004, Staff received a rezoning application from Truestone Project Managers Limited on behalf of 1287561 Ontario Limited to permit 2,336 sq.m. of retail and office uses on the subject lands. The applicant intends to develop a mixed use project consisting of retail uses and office space. 4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES -' 4.1 The property is currently undeveloped and does not contain any significant vegetation. Drainage is generally away from Durham Highway 2 towards Farewell Creek. 4.2 Surrounding Uses: -+ East: Vacant lands designated for high density residential development North: Courtice Medical Clinic, Whitecliffe Seniors building, and urban residential West: Existing commercial uses South: Vacant lands designated for low density residential development 607 REPORT NO.: PSD-110-04 PAGE 3 5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject property as "Mixed Use Area" within the Courtice Sub-Central Area Secondary Plan. This land use designation permits mixed use buildings with retail and personal service uses on the ground floor, professional and business offices, medium and high density residential development, and community facilities. The development proposal conforms to the policies of the Clarington Official Plan. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6.1 The property is currently zoned "Special Purpose Commercial (C5) Zone", which does not permit the proposed retail and office uses. In order to consider the proposed development, a rezoning application was submitted for consideration. w 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the property's road frontage. 7.2 A concern was raised by the adjacent property owner to the east (Wayne Bolahood) that storm water from the proposed development would negatively impact his property. In particular, this owner would like a joint servicing solution for storm water generated by redevelopment along the south side of Durham Highway 2 east of Darlington Boulevard. This issue will be further discussed in Section 9.2 of this report. 7.3 An area resident has submitted a letter of objection to the proposal, indicating that sufficient commercial development is present in Courtice. The following issues are raised: • Recent development has increased the amount of traffic and noise in the area. Additional development will aggravate the situation. The existing traffic generates a lot of pollution, especially from idling vehicles. ■• • The resident experienced vandalism to her own property. Additional development will lead to more security problems. +� These issues will be further discussed in Section 9.3 of this report. r- 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The Clarington Emergency Services Department has no objections to the proposed development. 608 REPORT NO.: PSD-110-04 PAGE 4 8.2 Due to the limited commenting period, comments from the Clarington Engineering Services Department, Durham Region Planning Department, Durham Region Public Works Department, Central Lake Ontario Conservation, Hydro One Networks Inc. and the school boards have not been received to date. • w 9.0 COMMENTS 9.1 Staff met with the applicant prior to submission of the application to discuss study •+� requirements for the development, which include the following items. • The applicant must submit a concept plan for the area, which demonstrates possible development on other vacant or underutilized properties south of Durham Highway 2 and east of Darlington Boulevard (see Attachment 2). The plan would also indicate possible locations of shared access points along Durham Highway 2 as well as the location of a rear laneway serving these -M properties, similar to a system, which is designated west of Darlington Boulevard. This process could encourage further property consolidation, would integrate the proposed Esso redevelopment and would ensure that development potential on surrounding sites is not compromised. • • A storm water plan will be required to ensure that storm water generated from the development can be appropriately handled on site. • A noise study is necessary to ensure that operational noise levels from the development will not negatively impact future adjacent residential uses. • The development must incorporate a high level of urban design. Some of the Phase 1 buildings must be street-front oriented. 9.2 The adjacent landowner, Mr. Bolahood, has requested that both the Municipality and Central Lake Ontario Conservation ensure that storm water is handled in an appropriate manner, preferably through a joint servicing solution through his property. All of the storm water from Durham Highway 2 flows through Mr. Bolahood's property into the Farewell Creek, which, according to Mr. Bolahood, has led to erosion on the property (see Attachment 2). Approximately 15 years ago, CLOCA determined that area landowners should develop a comprehensive solution for storm water management for undeveloped commercial lands along Highway 2 to address this issue. This included all lands where storm water drained towards Farewell Creek. A consultant prepared a drainage scheme on behalf of the landowners that would require all benefiting landowners to contribute towards a system that drained through this landowner's property. Although there was agreement among landowners for the solution, funding for the project was never secured. Individual development has proceeded on the basis of large on-site underground chambers that control the rate of storm water flow through Mr. Bolahood's lands to pre-development levels. Although Mr. Bolahood did appeal a development to Ontario Municipal Board on this basis, he was unsuccessful at the OMB. 609 REPORT NO.: PSD-110-04 PAGE 5 9.3 This section addresses the concerns raised by an area resident discussed in Section 7.3 of this report. Although recent development has increased traffic levels during the past ten years, Durham Highway 2 is designed to accommodate these traffic volumes and more. . Having designated lands for commercial and residential development in the area, traffic levels and the noise associated with these w. levels will continue to increase as Courtice grows. Noise fencing, in accordance with the Ministry of Environment noise criteria of the time, was erected along the rear of Highway 2 development to protect residents from excessive noise levels generated by the traffic. Although there is pollution from idling vehicles, Staff do not anticipate that there will be any drive-through facilities on the subject lands. • While the vandalism experienced by the resident is unfortunate, additional residential or commercial development will not necessarily create further security problems. Although Staff promote site planning solutions to minimize ,,. dark areas, vandalism and crime cannot be prevented by restricting development rights on property that is designated for development. 10.0 CONCLUSIONS 10.1 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements of the Public Meeting under the Planning Act, and taking into consideration all of the comments received, it is respectfully recommended that this report be referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report. •• Attachments: Attachment 1 - Key Map Attachment.2 - Land Use Plan Interested parties to be notified of Council's decision Denis O'Connel Truestone Project Managers Frances Walmsley 843 King Street West 42 Cherry Blossom Crescent Oshawa, ON L1 J 21_4 Courtice, ON L1 E 1 G7 Ken Pasricha 3 Jamieson Court Whitby, ON L1R 1V2 Wayne Bolahood 420 King Street West Unit 205 Oshawa, ON L1 J 2K8 �. _ 610 • - I I - ■* Ff = -� Illln•�p Courtice Key Map ■111111 ��� • PIP F1 oil 2 •, 1111,II� ` I X11111111 C� �' �■•; :■—_� 111. �� � `����,a�� � �I t ATTACHMENT 2 an/JO PlayJaluao \�\� ~� o C� 4 0 t N r.. m N ooh � os N 3 p ca c o0 c 0 m rr.

The OPA would permit the development of a 390 unit residential plan of subdivision, consisting of 130 single family dwellings, 63 street townhouses, a 197 unit medium density block, a public elementary school block and a park block. 614 REPORT NO.: PSD-111-04 PAGE 3 3.2 The applications for Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning were submitted in January 1991. An application to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan was also filed in January 1991. The application for Official Plan Amendment was to expand the Bowmanville Urban Area boundary, establish a neighbourhood boundary and include population targets. Following the adoption of the Clarington Official Plan in January 1996, Council approved a recommendation in April 1996 to include the site in the Urban Area boundary. In 1997 a revised draft plan was submitted in conformity with the new Clarington Official Plan. However, a related Clarington Official Plan Amendment was submitted to deal with discrepancies between the proposed draft plan and the designated transportation network, being the alignment of the collector road now referred to as Aspen Springs Drive. 3.3 There have been many submissions of Plan of Subdivision 19T 90051. The latest submission had shown the public elementary school site and neighbourhood park adjacent to the railway. (See attachment #2). Representatives of the Kawartha District School Board had many safety concerns with the location of the elementary school. Clarington Planning and Engineering Staff also had concerns with the location of the neighbourhood park. The proposed park was situated in close proximity to other .. neighbourhood parks, one located north of the railway, known as Clarington Corners, and the other in the adjacent draft approved Plan of Subdivision east of Green Road r. (18T 96014). The three parks would be within 500 metres of each other. The current Official Plan Amendment application COPA 2004- 004 was submitted after many discussions between representatives of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board, r WED Investments and Staff. The proposed amendment is requesting the relocation of the Medium Density symbol to north of Aspen Springs Drive, and the Neighbourhood Park Symbol and Public elementary School symbol south of Aspen Springs Drive (See Attachment 3). 3.4 Supporting Documentation The applicant has provided documentation to support the previous submissions, including a conceptual servicing plan and on-street parking plan. The plans will be required to be updated to reflect the current submission. Additional information will also be required including a Noise Study, Phasing Plan, Functional Servicing Report and Transportation Study. .,. 4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES 4.1 The subject site is currently vacant.

The lands are within the Darlington Green Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 2800 and a housing unit target of 1000. r 5.2.2 The predominant use of land within the Urban Residential designation shall be for housing. The Medium Density category proposes a net density of 31-60 units per net residential hectare with predominant housing form to include townhouses. The medium density block is approximately 4,920 hectares (12.16 acres), resulting in a yield of 40 ha units per net hectare. The Medium Density symbol is currently located on the south side of Aspen Springs Drive. The proposed amendment requests the relocation of the Medium Density symbol north of Aspen Springs Drive and relocates the Neighbourhood Park and Public Elementary School symbols south of Aspen Springs Drive. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, the lands are zoned Agricultural (A).

The draft plan does not identify a road widening for this purpose. The necessary road widening must be determined and indicated on the draft plan as a road widening. • Sight triangles measuring 14.0 metres x 7.0 metres are required at the intersection of Green Road and Street A as well as the intersection of Green Road and Street C. Appropriate changes must be made to the proposed draft plan. 617 .n REPORT NO.: PSD-111-04 PAGE 6 Servicing Report The applicant will be required to submit a revised Servicing Report. The required report must indicate the servicing scheme for all utilities and services within the proposed' development and identify all of the proposed road grades. Areas of future development to the west and south must also be addressed in the Report. Transporation This development cannot be approved as proposed until the potential effects on the overall road and transportation infrastructure in the Bowmanville Urban Area have been identified and assessed. Actual development on the subject lands cannot proceed until all of the necessary road and related infrastructure improvements that are deemed necessary by the Director of Engineering Services have been completed. This development cannot proceed until such time that the Municipality has approved the expenditure of funds for the provision of the reconstruction of Baseline Road, Green Road, the installation of sidewalks and street illumination and any related external works or services which have been included in the Municipality's Development Charge By-law and have been deemed necessary by the Director of Engineering Services to service this development. .. Prior to actual development of the subject lands the Owner shall retain a Professional Engineer to prepare an updated Transportation Implementation Plan that is satisfactory to the Director of Engineering Services. The Plan must identify all transportation infrastructure improvements such as roads and bridges that will be necessary in this portion of the Bowmanville Urban Area to accommodate this development. Earthworks The applicant will be responsible for 100% of the cost of all earthworks that deemed necessary by the Director of Engineering Services to facilitate this development including earthworks within the road allowance on Green Road. All required earthworks must be - completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services prior to any development of the subject lands. Parking The applicant must submit a revised on-street parking plan in support of this application. Noise Attenuation Measures so The applicant will be required to submit a Noise Study and preliminary engineering plan that details all of the proposed noise attenuation measures. The required plan must provide a suitable access to lands situated to the north of the noise berm and also 618 r REPORT NO.: PSD-111-04 PAGE 7 demonstrate that all drainage water from the north side of the noise berm can be appropriately accommodated. Grading and Drainage The storm water drainage works and facilities necessary for this development must be constructed in accordance with the West Side Creek Master Drainage Study, dated September 1992.

This development cannot proceed until such time that the Municipality has approved the expenditure of funds for the provision of the reconstruction of Baseline Road, Green Road, the Green Road underpass and any related external works or services. Parks Division The applicant proposes to dedicate a 0.48 hectare parkette block to the Municipality. The .. Official Plan currently identifies a Neighbourhood Park Symbol within the subject lands. .w 9.0 STAFF COMMENT 9.1 The Plan of Subdivision is within the western most portion of the Bowmanville Urban •. Area. In absence of a design plan, the proposed road networks, lot layout and park must be examined in conjunction with the balance of the lands available for development in the Urban Area. 619 to REPORT NO.: PSD-111-04 PAGE 8 .N The consultant for the land owners to the west and south have reviewed the current submission and are generally satisfied with the proposed layout of the current plan. ,. 9.2 The Official Plan states that Neighbourhood Parks shall be provided at 1.8 hectares per 1000 persons and shall be between 1 and 3 hectares in size depending on the potential for shared school facilities. At one time, there were three existing or proposed neighbourhood parks within 500 metres of each other. In consideration of an application by another Kaitlin company, the neighbourhood park on the east side of ..� Green Road was expanded so that it could better host a range of recreational uses. The applicant has redesigned the parkland on the subject lands by relocating the park site further south and downsizing of the park size. This provides for a more central .r location for the park facility for this neighbourhood but it will serve more of a parkette or central square function with limited recreation facilities. Staff is continuing to review the total area of parkland proposed relative to the additional population proposed by the applicant and will be reviewing the park configuration relative to its function as a focus for this neighbourhood. 9.3 The Public Elementary School has been relocated south of Street A. The Kawartha Pine Ridge School has always had concerns regarding the location of the school near the railway for liability reasons, although it is Planning staffs view that it is a type of land •» use that is less sensitive to noise and vibration from the railway than residential uses. The revised location is supported by the representatives of the Public School Board. The site has also been shifted south, away from the proposed new Separate -� Elementary School, reducing the chance of traffic conflicts between school bus traffic and parents dropping off and picking-up children. 9.4 The development of the Darlington Green area is dependant on servicing works to upgrade road infrastructure on Baseline Road and Green Road, including street lighting, sidewalks and the grade separation for Green Road at the CPR line (St. Lawrence & �+ Hudson Railway). These works are several years off, according to the current Development Charge program. 10.0 CONCLUSIONS The purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements under the Public Meeting under the Planning Act, and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, staff respectfully request that this report be referred back to staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.

Franklin Wu Director, Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer RH*CP*DC*df 14 September 2004 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1 C 3A6 T(905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 �- - 642 REPORT NO.: PSD-115-04 PAGE 2 No 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Viveca Rupa 1.2 Agent: Paul Lenardon 1.3 Rezoning: To amend the "General Commercial (Cl) Zone" to permit retail •"' commercial and office uses with reduced parking and loading standards. 1.4 Site Area: 0.1 hectares (0.25 acres) .r 2.0 LOCATION 2.1 The property under consideration is located at the northwest corner of King Avenue West and North Street (14 North Street) in Newcastle Village (See Attachment 1). The site area totals 0.1 hectares (0.25 acres). The property is located within Part Lot 29, Concession 2, in the former Village of Newcastle. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On May 18, 2004, Staff received rezoning and site plan applications from Paul Lenardon on behalf of Viveca Rupa to permit retail commercial uses within the '" existing building with a reduction in parking and loading standards. The applicant intends to operate a commercial business on the main floor of the building with the option of retaining the existing apartment on the second floor or converting this space to retail or office uses. 3.2 A statutory Public Meeting was held on June 21, 2004. An area resident spoke in opposition to the proposal. Although the resident is not opposed to the business, the objection is based on the following reasons. • The intersection at King Avenue West and North Street is dangerous. • No on-street parking should be allowed for two car lengths from the intersection. r • Parked cars cause congestion for turning movements. • Since McDonalds has opened in Newcastle, large amounts of traffic use North Street to access Mill Street. The traffic travels at high speeds. One area resident called in support of the application, indicating that the business was a welcome addition to the western entrance of downtown .. Newcastle, praising the owner's efforts to clean up the property, and that they did not believe on-street parking would not be an issue. 6 .13 .� REPORT NO.: PSD-115-04 PAGE 3 A petition from seven (7) area households, as contained in Attachment 2, as well ® as an inquiry from an area resident were received by the Planning Services Department. The following concerns were raised. • Area residents have a perception that a reduction in parking standards will cause a problem with on-street parking. Patrons of this establishment will park on the street and/or sidewalks, making it difficult for children or elderly residents to cross North Street between parked cars. In addition, patrons may park too close to the North Street/King Avenue intersection, causing potential visibility problems. On-street parking should be prohibited on North Street. • Residents are concerned that the Municipality will take their rear yards associated with Foster Creek for trail purposes. These issues are addressed in Section 8.4 of this report. 4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The property contains an existing 175 sq. m. two storey building, equally �. distributed between floors. The main floor has been recently used for office uses while the second floor has been used as an apartment. The required parking r was not previously provided. The property drains towards Foster Creek. The existing grading and drainage will not be materially altered through redevelopment. 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East: Commercial North: Urban residential West: Foster Creek and urban residential South: Commercial and urban residential , 5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the developable portion of the property as "Mixed Use Area" within the Newcastle Village Main Central Area Secondary Plan and the rear portion of the property as "Environmental Protection Area". The Mixed Use Area land use designation permits residential uses, retail, personal service and office uses, mixed use buildings with commercial and residential uses, community facilities, and home-based occupations. The development proposal conforms to the policies of the Clarington Official Plan. .. 644 REPORT NO.: PSD-115-04 PAGE 4 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6.1 The property is currently zoned "General Commercial (Cl) Zone" and "Environmental Protection (EP)". Although the commercial zoning permits the •+ proposed uses, the site does not contain sufficient zoned tableland to develop on-site parking and loading spaces required by the Zoning'By-law. In order to consider the proposed development, a rezoning application was submitted for consideration. 7.0 AGENCY COMMENTS •+� 7.1 The Clarington Emergency Services and Durham Region Public Works Departments have no objections to the proposed development. • 7.2 The Clarington Engineering Services Department has no objections to the rezoning application. Grading design on the subject property and the proposed municipal boulevard work will be finalized through site plan approval. 7.3 The Durham Region Planning Department has no objections to the proposal. The potential for on-site contamination should be addressed through the processing of the application. It is also recommended that a sufficient development. setback be provided from the environmentally protected lands to the satisfaction of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. These comments are addressed in Section 8.6 of this report. 7.4 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has no objections to the proposal. The existing parking embankment area on the north side of the house has pushed fill material into the floodplain. This material will be removed through site plan approval. Given the small size of the site, no storm water management review is necessary. 8.0 COMMENTS 8.1 The building was originally constructed and used as a single detached residential dwelling. The use of the building was converted in the early 1990's to an office and has been used for both various office uses and residential uses since. The second floor is currently vacant. 8.2 The building totals approximately 175 sq. m. equally divided between the two .� floors. The applicant proposes to use the main floor to operate a retail commercial business and retain the second floor apartment unit or convert this area for retail commercial or office uses. Based on current zoning provisions, the commercial or office uses on both floors would require 6 parking spaces and 1 loading space while ground floor commercial or office uses and the second floor apartment unit would require 5 parking spaces and 1 loading space. Although 645 REPORT NO.: PSD-115-04 PAGE 5 the current zoning by-law permits general commercial uses on the property, the majority of the property is floodplain lands associated with Foster Creek, and as such is zoned Environmental Protection. The amount of residual tableland is insufficient to permit the required on-site parking and loading spaces. The current zoning permits a wide variety of general commercial uses, many of which are assembly uses that would require large amounts of parking. To locate an assembly hall, restaurant, place of worship, or a tavern in the building would not be possible due to the lack of available on-site parking. Staff have worked with the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority and the applicant to ensure that a minimum of 2 parking spaces can be provided on the property, off the road allowance and outside of the environmentally protected lands. The applicant has agreed to limit the types of uses to retail commercial, professional offices, and one apartment on the second floor. By limiting the range of uses to those that generate lower amounts of parking and loading, the amount of on-street parking generated by the building would be an equivalent of a maximum of 4 parking spaces. There is sufficient on-street parking both along King Avenue West and North Street. Given the small size floorspace area and the type of proposed uses, there is not likely to be any loading problems. Staff support the application on this basis. " 8.3 The Clarington Official Plan contains policies that require an environmental impact study to be prepared for development applications adjacent to environmental features identified in the Plan. Although the majority of the " property is designated and zoned environmental protection, an environmental impact study will not be required for the following reasons. .. • The applicant's proposal is a change of use of an existing building and will not materially impact the function or environmental health of the floodplain or Foster Creek. • No additions will be added to the building that would encroach into the floodplain or cause a public safety concern. Although the building ,. encroaches into the floodplain, the building predates all zoning and environmental regulations and is therefore legal non-conforming. • The existing drainage pattern will not be altered by the proposal. Although the .. 2 parking spaces proposed on the property may extend slightly into the floodplain, they are being designed to have minimal impact and the grade is not being altered as it affects the floodplain. •• • The applicant is dedicating a portion of the property to the Municipality containing the creek and a suitable buffer area. After reviewing the issue with GRCA staff, the Municipality determined the applicant does not need to dedicate all of the environmentally protected lands to the Municipality. 8.4 This section addresses the concerns raised by area residents discussed in ■- Section 3.2 of this report. 646 REPORT NO.: PSD-115-04 PAGE 6 to .r • Area residents have a perception that a reduction in parking standards will cause a problem with on-street parking. Since retail and office uses on both floors requires 6 parking spaces, 4 required parking spaces are not being accommodated on the property. This is not different from the uses that have been operating from the property for the past 10 years and staff are not aware of any complaints with respect to on-street parking. • Area residents are concerned that patrons may park on the street and/or sidewalks, making it difficult for children or elderly residents to cross North Street between parked cars. With respect to people walking between parked cars, care must be taken when crossing the street. Cars are also currently parked along King Avenue and people cross this busy street. • Concern was also raised over potential visibility problems if parking is permitted too close to the North Street/King Avenue intersection. Staff have reviewed this matter with the Operations Department, who have agreed to „• create a "No Parking Zone" along the entire property frontage to the street intersection. This should allay any visibility concerns. • Clarington has long-term objectives of developing trail networks along valley systems within urban areas through the Municipality. In addition to purchasing lands, the Planning Services Department acquires valleylands through subdivision, site plan or consent approval processes to accommodate these objectives. Although the Municipality currently does not have any specific plans to extend the Foster Creek trail north of King Avenue, the long-term objective would see its northward extension and connection to the future neighbourhood park located in the Foster Creek Neighbourhood. Part of the valley is required to be dedicated as a condition of draft approval of the subdivision to the north and west. • Newcastle will continue to grow and traffic levels will increase. Any issues relating to speeding should be forwarded to the Durham Region Police Department for enforcement. 8.5 The applicant will be dedicating a portion of the valleyland associated with the Foster Creek to the Municipality through site plan approval. The amount and location of the land dedication was determined at a site meeting between the Planning Services Department and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority Staff. The lands to be dedicated are roughly equivalent to the area shown on Attachment 1 and is being identified in a survey. 8.6 Comments provided by the Durham Region Planning Department have been -+ addressed in the following manner. • In completing the site screening questionnaire for on-site contamination, the applicant has indicated that, to their knowledge, there has never been a use present on the property that is likely to generate any contamination. A Phase 1 repot was not required. • The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has no objections to this application. A portion of the land will be dedicated as valleyland free and 647 ,r REPORT NO.: PSD-115-04 PAGE 7 clear to the Municipality. Having reviewed the application, they support the proposed zoning amendment. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS 9.1 The application has been reviewed in consideration of comments received from the circulated agencies, the policies of the Clarington Official plan, the Zoning By- law regulations, and the public. In consideration of the comments contained in this report, Staff respectfully recommend that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment contained in Attachment 3 be passed by Council.

There is a hydrant next to a double driveway into the dentist's parking lot, then a community mailbox, which is posted"no parking". Next there is a double driveway to 37 North St including the Veterinary driveway plus two more driveways before Wilmot St. On the West side of North St there are 6 driveways between 14 North St and 58 North St which is the fourth house. The concrete curb is 22"wide between the traveled area of the street and the new 69" sidewalk. A vehicle cannot park on 22" and is not permitted to park on the sidewalk. Therefore,there should be no parking on the west side of North St. The intersection of North and King Streets is a dangerous one. There is a"No Parking Sign" on the north side of King St east of North St but it is rarely enforced. If there is a truck or camper parked in this area you cannot see to safely enter King St. Currently a situation exists, where frequently, cars are parked on the sidewalk on the west side of North St. creating a hazard to pedestrians. When the police are contacted,they tell us it is a by-law officer that needs to be contacted but there is no office open from .. Friday to Monday. If they park on the roadway it blocks traffic and creates a hazard for cars turning onto North St. r. Two parking spaces are not adequate for a commercial unit as at least one of those would be expected to be used by the employees thus not leaving enough for customers.

Resolution #C- 540-03 stated: .r "THAT Council consider altering the unopened Boundary Road allowance with the Township of Scugog located west of Old Scugog Road, in • cooperation with the Township by construction of a motor vehicle barrier with lockable gates at a location on the allowance satisfactory to the Director of Engineering Services, provided that the provisions of subsection 34(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 respecting the giving of public notice of intention to pass the necessary by-law concerning the alteration of the unopened road allowance in question and the holding of a public meeting to consider representations by the public regarding the intended by-law are held, and provided that the Township of Scugog undertakes similar actions." .r As detailed in report EGD-30-04 of May 10, 2003, the Municipality has been involved in considering a recommendation made by the East Cross Forest Task Force, to consider the installation of a barricade at the westerly terminus of Boundary Road in Burketon as part of a pilot project. This regional committee, which was formed to address the impact of environmental damage to highly sensitive core areas of the Oak Ridges Moraine, has recommended that up to 50 .r barrier structures be installed across the Durham Region as a means of limiting access into the trails. Boundary Road in Burketon was seen as an ideal location .r to pilot this project because the number of recreational vehicles accessing the trails in this area is seen by some as a considerable issue in terms of its impact on the environment and on quality of life. 702 go Report #EGD-44-04 Page 3 RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A BARRIER STRUCTURE AT THE WESTERLY TERMINUS OF BOUNDARY ROAD IN an BURKETON No Engineering Services staff have been extensively involved in reviewing this request and as a result we have become increasingly aware that the local problems in Burketon are actually symptomatic of a much larger and more complex issue. Resident's, politicians and stakeholders from across the Durham +� Region have all been raising concerns regarding the increasing numbers of off- road vehicles across the entire Durham Region. Environmental damage to highly sensitive core areas of the Oak Ridges Moraine, personal injury and safety concerns, private property damage, confrontations with private landowners, noise problems in residential areas, as well as a general lack of awareness about what is and is not legal in terms of riding off-road recreational vehicles all point to the fact that this is a growing sport that requires strategic direction at a senior level. In terms of the issues in Burketon and our ability to respond to them at the local level the intent of our Public Meeting on May 20, 2004 was first to satisfy the provisions of subsection 34(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 and also to determine whether we have the support we need to proceed. Of equal importance was the need to take a full inventory of the current permitted uses of the road allowance so that if it becomes appropriate to move to the design phase we will be informed and in a position to make the best choice possible. The intent of this report then is to summarize the findings of our research and to make what we believe is the best recommendation in terms of addressing the entire issue and in protecting public safety. 2.0 PUBLIC FEEDBACK The issue of public support has been approached on three separate occasions. In July of 2003 a preliminary circulation was made to a group of approximately 50 �• local area residents asking them for their comments and suggestions about the possible closure. A similar survey was again circulated to the same group of . �- residents in April of this year. Normally circulation involves only those residents immediately abutting the potentially affected road allowance but in this case we 703 Report #EGD-44-04 Page 4 " RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A BARRIER STRUCTURE AT THE WESTERLY TERMINUS OF BOUNDARY ROAD IN BURKETON felt it important to consider feedback from a meaningful cross-section of the community.

It is their belief that even a single barricade will eliminate the illegal traffic. In addition to the traffic and noise, the East Cross Forest Task Force has reported significant environmental damage to highly sensitive areas of the Oak Ridges Moraine, stating that "illegal activities occurring in the East Cross Forest have given rise to a number of associated problems plaguing this ecologically sensitive area. The Forest has become a 'party pit' location, a venue for all- terrain vehicle enthusiasts, and a dumping ground for abandoned vehicles, tires, and other waste". Additional concerns are related to noise pollution, personal safety, and damage to the shoulder of Boundary Road. Those opposed to a barrier share two main concerns; the first being a very genuine concern that traffic will not be prevented; only re-routed around the "w barrier onto private or public property. Some residents immediately abutting the proposed barrier have indicated that while they were initially in favour they are .o now opposed to such a proposal because, having had time to give it some thought, they are convinced that their property could be damaged. As one resident has stated "the proposed gate will not prevent the traffic/noise/ r speed/etc. on the main portion of Boundary Road: Vehicles will still travel along the road and in front of most of our houses..... from #57 to Old Scugog and find other way(s) in". "I know of a possible 10 alternate points including going •• Report #EGD-44-04 Page 5 RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A BARRIER STRUCTURE AT THE WESTERLY TERMINUS OF BOUNDARY ROAD IN .. BURKETON around the gates on private property, by the railway and thru the park". This uncertainty about where the off-road vehicular traffic will go once the barrier is in place raises questions both of personal safety and of risk. Additional opposition relates to property access and lifestyle. One land owner has stated, "I am concerned that placing a permanent barrier on the road might somehow impact my right to get access to my property". He has explained that "the only way to access the portion of my 45 acres on the north side of the railroad tracks is through this Boundary Road". Others have talked about moving into the Burketon area specifically because it promised outstanding ,. recreational opportunities. 3.0 AGENCY COMMENTS Various agencies have been circulated for comment on this proposal and where there has been opposition it specifically relates to emergency access into the trails as well as the ability to enforce the law. An official response from the ,". Durham Regional Police states that "installing a barrier on Boundary Road will not eliminate the problem", "the installation of the barrier will not serve its .. intended function, but only additional concerns for the local community in Burketon". The ability to enforce the law is much clearer when a violation occurs •• on public property. When a violation occurs on private property, as will happen if people go around the barrier, the ability to lay charges becomes a more •• complicated matter. As was made clear by the summary statements reported by the East Cross Forest Task Force, this area is "a dumping ground for abandoned vehicles", and as the Durham Regional Police have indicated, many of these vehicles are set on fire before they are abandoned. Emergency access into the trails then is a very real concern. Police, Fire and Ambulance have all highlighted the importance of maintaining timely access into the trails. 705 . .r Report#EGD-44-04 Page 6 RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A BARRIER STRUCTURE AT THE WESTERLY TERMINUS OF BOUNDARY ROAD IN BURKETON A final point to consider is the fact that snowmobile clubs have had agreements .r in place with the Township of Scugog for almost thirty years and provisions must be made to allow this to continue. Therefore the barrier design we have been looking at, is a gated structure that can be opened during the winter season to allow snowmobile access but closed during the warmer months to prevent off- road vehicular traffic. There is concern that this changing accessibility could be confusing for drivers who perhaps use this trail one week only to find it closed the next. This could increase the potential for personal injury and liability. Inventory of Permitted Uses and Design Considerations • Pedestrian access • Horseback riding • Snowmobile trails • Wheelchair access • Bicycles .. • Property access • Emergency and Police personnel 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSION Dealing with the issue of ATVs is surprisingly more complex than might be •"" initially understood. The problem stems from and results in a broad spectrum of challenges which include but are not limited to, a lack of awareness of the laws, ""• enforcement issues, necessary changes to legislation, environmental damage, property damage, personal safety, liability, noise, and much more. The closer "i you get to the issue the more aware you become of the potential domino effect that any one solution could have if it is not implemented as part of a comprehensive strategy. r The government of New Brunswick was one of the first provinces to recognize that to effectively respond to such a broad range of issues a response must come from the provincial level. On November 30, 2000 the Honourable Milton Sherwood, Public Safety Minister for New Brunswick, announced the 706 .. Report #EGD-44-04 Page 7 RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A BARRIER STRUCTURE AT THE WESTERLY TERMINUS OF BOUNDARY ROAD IN •• BURKETON aw establishment of an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Task Force to respond to the "increased number of deaths, unauthorized use of all-terrain vehicles, concerns +� about damage to the environment, greater exploitation of fish and wildlife, the threat to sensitive areas, endangered species and/or their habitat, increased opportunities for incidents of crime, trespass on private property and confrontations with private landowners and other recreational users." All of them issues that we in Clarington, we in the Durham Region, and we in the Province of Ontario are currently facing. It is our position that a great deal can be done to ensure that this very popular aw sport is managed responsibly. An effective strategy would include the passing of appropriate laws to make enforcement more effective and requiring that ATV ow owners take a safety course prior to obtaining a permit to use their vehicle, much as was done with boating licenses. Part of the course curriculum could focus on ,, where it is and is not legal to ride an ATV in Ontario because lack of awareness of the laws is a huge part of the problem. Media campaigns focusing on public an awareness and safety should be developed along with well managed trail systems which offer people a place to ride away from residential communities an and highly sensitive natural areas. r At the municipal level our ability to respond effectively to these very real concerns is far too limited. We are simply not in a position to effect the types of changes that are needed to solve the problems. Rather than suggest that there are quick and easy solutions to the problems we see our role in this matter as being one of advocacy in moving this issue to the level of government which can realistically be expected to respond to the concerns. We believe that the most appropriate next step in dealing with this growing sport is not to minimize the issue but to continue to work towards having it recognized as one that deserves a more comprehensive review. - 707 ..r Report #EGD-44-04 Page 8 RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A BARRIER STRUCTURE AT THE WESTERLY TERMINUS OF BOUNDARY ROAD IN r BURKETON am The Municipality of Clarington has been working and will continue to work with staff at the Region of Durham to help establish a regional committee that will r' bring each municipality to the table to determine a position on the issue. Once we have a clearer picture and a strong enough voice it is our recommendation that this Regional Committee approach the Province to take the lead role in managing the sport. Clarington staff will work with residents and interested stakeholders to improve things at the local level as much as is possible. Realistically however, we expect that these efforts will be limited. At this time it is our recommendation that initiatives such as the Burketon barrier not be implemented until such time as the appropriate provincial framework is in place to ensure that one isolated remedy does not make things more difficult.

To assist the neighbourhood the Municipality worked , through a long process of public meetings and engineering designs to create a traffic calmed neighbour. By introducing a series of islands, a pavement narrowing and texture change, the Municipality was successful in keeping traffic speeds on Concession Street much lower than other conventional collector roadways in Clarington. The intent was to keep speeds low but not necessarily to divert traffic to adjacent local streets. As part of the realignment of Concession Street at Horsey Street an additional all-way stop was .r installed one block west of Elgin Street which was an existing all-way stop. .rr Despite the apparent success of the traffic calming project from the Municipality's perspective, some residents of Concession Street West feel it has not had enough of an .rr impact and want the original requests for all-way stop controls implemented in the hopes of further reducing traffic speeds and volume on this collector roadway. 2.0 COMMENT 2.1 Requested All-way stop at Concession Street and Beech St The CTMAC at its June 17, 2004 meeting approved a motion to recommend that an all- -++ way stop be installed at the intersection of Concession Street West at Beech Ave. Although this motion was passed by the CTMAC by a majority of members, Engineering staff cannot agree with the motion for the following reasons: �+ • It does not meet provincial warrants for a collector roadway with disproportionately light traffic volume on the side streets. • It would be ineffective as a way of reducing traffic volume on a street which already has drivers accustomed to 2 all-way stops over a short distance a no alternate route. CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 F 905-623-9282 715 '" REPORT NO.: EGD-46-04 PAGE 3 • This decision should have been delayed, as suggested by some members of the CTMAC and evaluated after completion of the Longworth Bridge. The bridge is due for completion in November 2004, which will offer some motorists a viable alternative to Concession Street. • All-way stops are not intended as a speed control device and redundant when average operating speeds are already below the legal speed limit. • This motion is inconsistent with previous motions by the CTMAC and the Heritage District discussions are a separate issue. • The pedestrian activity to the school is already accommodated at either the signalized intersection at Liberty St. or the existing all-way stop at Elgin St with a sidewalk linking directly to Central Public School. • Intersection safety will be improved when the two municipal trees on the south east „r corner are limbed. • Newly planted boulevard trees would need to be removed or relocated to accommodate sightlines to the requested new stop signs. ... 2.2 Other Concession Street Concerns The CTMAC did not support an all-way stop at the intersection of Concession Street and �• Centre Street while the issues of parking complaints and municipal trees were referred back to Engineering Services to resolve. 2.3 Operational Safety Review �• Speed Although residents feel traffic moves too quickly on Concession Street, a number of speed checks by the municipality have shown that average operating speeds are well below the posted speed and about 10 km/hr less than most other typical collector streets. The residents have been offered use of the municipal radar units on a number of occasions to verify operating speeds but they have opted not to obtain this first hand information. Staff are pleased with operating speeds on Concession Street West and feel the traffic calming measures were a success and can stand on their own merit. 716 .w REPORT NO.: EGD-46-04 PAGE 4 .d Volume Volumes on Concession Street are typical of an urban residential collector roadway and an important link between Liberty Street and Scugog Street. At peak periods of the day Liberty Street and King Street are congested, and it is unlikely that any traffic would rw divert over to those streets. The completion of the Longworth bridge in late 2004 linking Regional Rd 57 to Liberty Street and in the future to Mearns Avenue will provide some motorists with a better way of reaching their destinations. This is expected to relieve some of the traffic pressures on Concession Street, Liberty Street and King Street from the existing and future north end residents. Parking During 2002 there were two collisions where vehicles backing from driveways backed into parked vehicles. In 2004 there was a collision west of Liberty Street when a westbound and eastbound vehicle approached the island at the same time and one ,r moved towards the right but hit a parked vehicle. There have been a number of complaints to the by-law department from motorists concerned with residents parking on both sides of Concession Street especially near the traffic calming features which they feel unreasonably obstructs and frustrates traffic, rather than calming it. The intent of some of our traffic calming features was to bring two passing vehicles closer together so as to create the feeling that vehicle speeds should be reduced. Unfortunately due to repeated complaints of abuse, it appears it is now important to prohibit and sign "no parking" close to the traffic calming features to reduce potential conflicts between more vehicles on this important collector roadway. Sections of the Traffic by-law 91-58 , gives the Director of Engineering Services the ability to authorize no parking or no stopping signs near hazards such as intersections, curves and hills to improve public safety in accordance with provisions of the by-law without the do necessity of listing each small area in the bylaw schedules. .r 717 w. REPORT NO.: EGD-46-04 PAGE 5 Under General Provisions Section 3 (2) (A)The Director of Engineering Services is authorized to place or erect and to maintain such authorized and official signs as are required to give effect to the provisions of this by-law. Example 1: Under General Provisions section 4 - GENERAL PARKING AND STOPPING REGULATIONS No person shall on any highway stop any vehicle: 4 (1) Alongside or across the highway from any excavation or obstruction in the roadway where the free flow of traffic would thereby be impeded. Example 2: Under General Provisions Section 4 - GENERAL PARKING AND .. STOPPING REGULATIONS (8) Where official signs to that effect are displayed, no person shall on any highway stop any vehicle: (C) So as to interfere with the movement of traffic by obstructing a travel or turn lane ww which is clearly defined by pavement markings. Although the above two provisions could give the Director the ability to post signs in traffic calmed areas Staff, wish to include an amendment to specifically give the Director flexibility to introduce no parking signage near areas of traffic calming devices to improve public safety. It is not safe to park a vehicle in or approaching a narrowing such as a hamlet gateway or an urban narrowing where it could impede or obstruct traffic more than the intended design of the traffic calming feature. Where such enforcement is to be carried out, signs would be posted to ensure motorists know how close they may park. w., "" 718 fl REPORT NO.: EGD-46-04 PAGE 6 a .m Attachments: Attachment 1 - Key Map ' Attachment 2 - Proposed by-law amendment Interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: Inspector Tom Cameron Bowmanville Community Office Durham Regional Police 77 Centre Street North Oshawa, ON L1 G 4137 Clayton Morgan, Chair Clarington Traffic Management Advisory Committee 31 Parkway Crescent Bowmanville, ON L1 C 1 B9 Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood Association lei we no .w .r 719 • Concession Rd.3 DDD m rr 0 m V 'o w N wr t m D � J Q' + Cb St.Elizabeth Future Extension Separate School a � aa Longworth Av .

NT/hjl E 1323 REPORT NO.: FND-020.04 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND: Under Ontario Regulation 266/02, the Treasurer is required to report annually to Council details of existing material leases confirming that they comply with the lease policy, a summary of material leases, estimated cost of the material leases and the impact of these leases on the financing arrangements and debt servicing levels of the Municipality. As required by the Municipal Act, 2001, Council adopted a Statement of Lease Financing Policies and Goals in report FND-021-03, on Monday, September 8, 2003. To-date, Clarington has typically chosen to purchase or debenture (if necessary), rather than to use financial leases with the exception of small office equipment and a limited number of computers. All existing leases are immaterial according to Council policy and therefore have no impact on long term financing or debt service levels of the Municipality. The total of all of Clarington's minor leases do not exceed the threshold for a single lease to be material. CONCLUSION: At this time, the Municipality of Clarington does not have any material leases. It is recommended that this annual lease report be received for information in compliance with Ontario Regulation 266/02.

The discussion paper is the initial step of the Province in developing a growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe that will shape land use planning policy, infrastructure priorities adn investment by the Province and a new regulatory/fiscal environment for municipalities. Comments are to be submitted by September 24, 2004. 1.2 The release of the growth management discussion paper for the Greater Golden Horseshoe is supported by other initiatives announced as part of the Province's strong communities agenda. This includes the Strong Communities Act (Bill 26); the Greenbelt Protection Act (Bill 27), which has led to the reports of the Greenbelt Task Force. In addition, the 3 discussion papers on Planning Reform Initiatives addressed in reports PSD-105-04 and PSD-106-04 apply. 1.3 The major issues that the series of discussion papers and proposed legislation attempt to address are growth and growth management, especially in the GTA/Greater Golden Horseshoe Area, what the roles of local and provincial decision-making should be and new tools to achieve the policy framework. All the discussion papers propose to comprehensively bring together reforms proposed by the government for land-use planning; as such, they cannot be read in isolation from each other. 1 .4 In preparing our comments, staff has attended the stakeholder sessions hosted by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal and other information meetings. The Director attended a stakeholder meeting with the Ontario Association of Chief Planning Officials. Staff have provided comments to the Region for their report (Attachment 1). 2.0 SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION PAPER 2.1 The proposed Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe is the first time since the early 1970's for the Province to develop a blueprint for growth in the Toronto Region, an area recognized as the economic engine of Canada. Over the past decade there has been a growing recognition that the status-quo is not working and that sprawl will overwhelm the area unless significant action is taken. Business-as-usual over the next 30 years will consume 1,000 sq. km of farmland, gridlock will worsen and our environment will suffer. 2.2 A summary of the Discussion Paper is contained in Section 2 of the Region's report. The growth plan addresses three key areas: Where and how we should grow • What critical infrastructure we need to support growth; and • What are the most valuable things we need to protect The emerging growth plan also begins to develop ways to implement the strategy through coordinated decision-making and prioritized infrastructure investments. The REPORT NO.: PSD-114-04 PAGE 3 growth plan is to be integrated with the 10 year infrastructure plan that the Province is developing. 2.3 Some of the key highlights of the Plan relative to Clarington are as follows: • Oshawa "Downtown" is identified as a Priority Urban Centre while no urban center in Clarington is identified as even an emerging urban center. Priority and emerging urban centers were selected on the basis of criteria including being major employment centers, having employment activities of provincial or national significance; having high population and high employment densities; having or being borderline transit supportive densities; having infrastructure or redevelopment capacity and providing broad regional level public services, such as hospitals, colleges or universities, social services, etc. • With the exception of some lands north of Courtice, no lands are identified as potential Future Growth Area, that is lands to be assessed for future growth beyond the current urban boundary limits • The growth plan will promote economic development by making the Greater Golden Horseshoe an attractive place for business and workers to invest their skills, by improving transportation efficiency, ensuring a diversity of employment lands are available and serviced, supporting vibrant downtowns and urban areas and by supporting and build on the strength of local industry clusters. • Small towns and rural communities are to be strengthened not through large- scale growth and development but by such means as ensuring sufficient population and employment growth to sustain local economies, maintaining and renewing infrastructure, and by supporting the revitalization of downtowns, waterfronts and brownfields. • Urban transit will be the focus of provincial infrastructure investment, mostly in larger urban centers including Toronto, Mississauga and York Region. It is unlikely that Clarington will see any significant urban transit investment over the next 30 years. • GO Rail capacity is to be built and ridership increased an average of 3% per year. However, the extension of GO Rail service to Bowmanville is not one of the identified investments. • A new inter-regional transit link is schematically identified from Peterborough to Bowmanville. • Highway 407 extension to Highway 35/115 is identified as a priority • Protecting high quality aggregate areas, such as those lands around Regional Road 20 and Highway 35/115 2.4 The Province's vision for Clarington is in keeping with the principles and policies articulated in Clarington's Official Plan. Specifically Places to Grow supports the themes of sustainable development, healthy communities and growth management, the overarching principles of the Official Plan. REPORT NO.: PSD-114-04 PAGE 4 3.0 COMMENTS ON "PLACES TO GROW" 3.1 The Province should be commended for undertaking the task of addressing land use planning and growth management. There is a growing recognition that the problems of the GTA/Greater Golden Horseshoe can only be tabled by coordinated provincial and municipal initiatives. Combined with the other initiatives underway, the full package of solutions is being considered. 3.2 Support for the Region of Durham's recommendations on "Places to Grow" The Regional Staff report in Attachment 1 reflects a number of the comments provided by our staff. The Municipality of Clarington generally supports the Region of Durham's recommendations unless otherwise noted. This section of the report will not repeat what has been stated by the Region in its report to the Province. The comments and recommendations of the Municipality of Clarington set out below are intended to reinforce and expand on the Region's recommendations and not to detract from them. 3.3 Infrastructure Funding, in particular for transit, needs to occur in many growing areas outside of the Priority and Emerging Urban Centres While specific urban growth centres have been identified (e.g. Peterborough and Oshawa), the Province should be aware that infrastructure funding (especially transit) will have to be provided to areas not identified to address the growth in those communities as well. The creation of urban form and spaces throughout the Greater Golden Horseshoe area that are adaptable and flexible over the long term is the overall goal; any funding formula or incentives have to promote this type of thinking throughout the entire area. 3.4 The extension of GO Rail to Bowmanville is a critical infrastructure element to be identified in the Plan The Discussion Paper identifies the addition of new tracks to Oshawa as part of the GO Rail improvements. Both Durham and Clarington have identified Bowmanville as the eastern terminus for GO Rail in their respective Official Plans. The Grater Toronto Transportation Authority recently acquired a 13.6 acre site of a GO Rail station in Bowmanville. This significant acquisition should be accompanied by the investment in extending GO Rail service to Bowmanville within the 10 year timeframe of the infrastructure plan and the development of a transportation hub at its terminus. 3.5 A clear definition of intensification is required and the intensification objectives need to be undertaken on a regional not area municipal basis A clear definition of Intensification, common to all the Ministries needs to be articulated. Further intensification should take into account the existing servicing capacity of an area. The province will either have to be willing to provide incentives, funding or other regulations to ensure that the development and real estate industries offer a full complement of housing types. Currently the development and real estate industries respond to market trends and forces. The 40% target set out in Places to Grow is arbitrary and unrealistic for many municipalities, given the existing infrastructure and strong desire to protect historic downtowns and neighbourhoods. Intensification REPORT NO.: PSD-114-04 PAGE 5 objectives like to 40% target can only be met on a regional basis given the differing characteristics of each community. 3.6 The Province should recognize in Clarington a Special Employment Area for the emerging cluster of energy-related industries As part of the Province's plan for recognizing and supporting a diversity of economic activity and to meet the 2:1 ratio of population to employment growth, the Province will need to intervene in supporting economic development. In particular, Clarington is recognized as a major centre for the nuclear power industry. Building on this base, international recognition gained throughout the ITER process and the establishment of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Clarington is working to create a cluster of specialized energy research and development industries. Developing this of expertise centre will require provincial assistance. 3.7 The Province needs to carefully consider the relationship between the Greenbelt and the Growth Plan with respect to Future Growth Areas The Greenbelt Plan will be identifying lands in the GTA which are to be permanently protected. This includes natural heritage areas, aggregate extraction areas and prime agricultural lands. Prime agricultural lands which are not included in the Greenbelt may be considered as lands for future growth. While the Province may not have identified these lands for provincial protection through the Greenbelt, area municipalities may still want to retain these lands in an agricultural designation. 3.8 Future Urban Growth Areas should be policy driven and not mapped The Discussion Paper identifies "fuzzy peach" areas to indicate lands that may be considered for future urban development beyond the existing official plan boundaries and intensification. This will lead to land speculation and other economic forces that will push these lands to be designated for urban purposes. Rather than mapping additional lands, there should be a set of policy criteria that would assist in determining how new lands will be identified in years to come. 3.9 The Development Charges regime, income and sales tax policy and property assessment/taxation policy must support intensification and discourage greenfield development A number of provincial documents have indicated implementation ideas to encourage intensification and infilling through the provision of incentives, including the waiver or reduction of development charges. Provision of such incentives by the Municipality can only be offered if the Municipality is willing to assign a portion of growth-related costs to the tax base. Rather than funding incentives from the existing tax base, the development charges legislation should have a provision for a municipality to provide a surcharge on greenfield development to fund incentives for brownfield and greyfield development. This would not only provide a source for funding incentives but would be a strong economic incentive for the development industry to undertake the complicated and time-consuming processes required for infill development and intensification. Similar provisions to income tax, sales tax and property tax policy could provide incentives for infill or higher density development. REPORT NO.: PSD-114-04 PAGE 6 3.10 Amendments to other legislation to address alternative standards and foster intensification Amendments to other legislation could address the alternative standards that the Province is recommending. For example amendments to the Building Code to address energy efficiency standards, sustainability (green roof technology), fire suppression and more flexibility in renovation and re-use of heritage buildings would be beneficial. 3.11 The Municipality's need stronger tools to control the phasing of development in urban areas Implementation of the vision articulated in Places to Grow will in part be through the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statements (PPS). In our previous comments on those discussion papers, we have asked the Province to reinforce the ability of municipalities to determine the timing of development through the efficient use of existing infrastructure (e.g. sunk costs) by limiting challenges to the OMB that open up new areas of development when existing areas could accommodate the proposed expansion or development. 3.12 Performance Measures should include both Provincial Ministries and Municipal Governments The performance measures suggested in this and other recent discussion papers focus on local and regional government indicators. To maintain the focus, the performance measures must include the policies and practices of all Ministries in achieving the vision set out, the determination of a "yardstick" and how to advance it over time through the continual improvement of the policy framework, legislation, incentive funding and infrastructure from the provincial government is a necessary to maintain the focus over the long term. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 The Province should be commended for its recent initiatives to improve the planning system through this and other recently released discussion papers. The combination of the 3 discussion papers on Planning Reform and this growth management plan shows the Province is serious about providing the implementation tools, policies and provincial direction necessary to address how the Greater Golden Horseshoe will develop and look in the next 30 years. We trust that our comments in combination with those from the Region will be helpful to the Province in their efforts to manage growth and provide strong leadership for municipalities. 4.2 Should the General Purpose and Administration Committee support the recommendations of this report, in order to meet the September 24, 2004 deadline for comments, a copy will be forwarded to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal prior to Council consideration on September 27th, 2004 with appropriate qualifications.

Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 4 REPORT: 1. PURPOSE 1.1 On July 12, 2004, the province released a Discussion Paper entitled, Places to Grow: Better Choices. Brighter Future. A Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Discussion Paper). Comments must be submitted to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal by September 24, 2004. 1.2 The release of this Discussion Paper is another in a series of initiatives, which form part of the Province's "Strong Communities" agenda. The other initiatives include: • Provincial Planning Reforms; • Bill 26, the Strong Communities Act; • Bill 27, the Greenbelt Protection Act; • the Greenbelt Task Force Discussion Paper, Toward a Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt; and • Source Water Protection. Regional Council has commented on these initiatives through Commissioners' Reports: 2004-P-68; 2004-P-20; 2004-P-7; 2004-P-60; and 2004-COW-03, respectively. 1.3 Following the release of the Discussion Paper, Regional Planning staff attended a public information session hosted by the Province; convened a meeting of planning staff from the area municipalities to generate comments from a Region wide-perspective; and obtained comments from the Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee (DAAC) and the Durham Environmental 1.4 The purpose of this report is to review and provide comment on the Growth Plan Discussion Paper. 4 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 5 2. PLACES TO GROW, DISCUSSION PAPER Toward a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2.1 The Discussion Paper presents the Province's vision and strategy for managing growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) area, over the next 30 years. It is intended to stimulate discussion and input to the preparation of a Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Plan (Growth Plan) that will guide decisions on a wide range of issues, including: land-use planning; urban development; housing; local services; transportation and environmental infrastructure and economic development. 2.2 The Vision for the GGH consists of the following elements: • a variety of choices for living in the area; • modern, well maintained infrastructure; • easy access to socio-cultural amenities (food, shelter, education, health- care, arts and recreation, and information technology); • an integrated transportation network; • a healthy natural environment; • protection for agricultural lands; and • compact settlement and development patterns offering diversity of opportunities for living, working and enjoying culture. These elements of the Vision are generally consistent with the fundamental principles of the Regional Official Plan (ROP). 2.3 To implement the Vision, the Province proposes to: areas, strengthening the transportation linkages among them, and encouraging more compact development in urban areas; • protect and manage valuable greenlands, natural systems and agricultural lands; and • utilize available tools to implement the above objectives. 5 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 6 Where and How to Grow 2.4 In determining where and how to grow, the Discussion Paper focuses on using existing urban land more efficiently. It presents five objectives that seek to maximize existing opportunities to accommodate growth, before considering new growth areas, including: • Intensification and Compact Development—to promote the efficient use of land and infrastructure resources, within existing designated urban areas; • Priority and Emerging Urban Centres —to support priority and emerging urban centres as residential and employment anchors; • Future Growth Areas —to manage the amount of land required to accommodate future growth through expansions to urban boundaries; • Economic Strength —to promote economic vitality and competitiveness; and • Small Towns and Rural Communities — to provide necessary tools to assist in addressing their unique growth pressures. Intensification and Compact Development 2.5 The concept of intensification and compact development in existing urban areas is consistent with the policy elements of the ROP. However, it must be recognized that intensification in centres and corridors (arterial roads) takes time to achieve. Incentives are required to attract development to these areas on an equal footing with greenfield development. Many locations that would be targeted for intensification may not have adequate infrastructure. Sustained funding will be required to support the infrastructure necessary required to accommodate intensification.. The P'ntl�R�`a3 �nQnecc tfJ tiscict ifsachieving intensification and CrJCnpaCt development through such measures as: ensuring that new development pays its fair share, through the Development Charges Act; accelerating brownfields redevelopment, through various funding mechanisms; and encouraging additional greyfield redevelopment, through incentives. While these initiatives may be helpful, further information is required on any changes to existing legislation, funding or incentive programs before the 6 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 7 implications on the Region can be fully assessed. Further, it must be recognized that the Region is already committed to fiscal strategies to ensure growth pays its fair share, through the imposition of Development Charges and water and sewer rates. The changes to these tools must ensure that any resulting incentives do not impact the revenue streams already available to municipalities. 2.7 The Province's proposal to identify and maintain a long-term supply of employment lands is supported. However, stronger provincial policies and implementation tools are needed to ensure the long-term protection of employment areas. Preserving these areas and protecting them from non- compatible uses should be a priority. The conversion of land from employment to residential use should be strictly controlled or prohibited. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) needs to provide strong direction to permit municipal official plans to protect a sufficient long-term supply of employment lands. 2.8 The Province also proposes to ensure that a wider range of affordable housing and a mix of housing types are built, through capital funding under the federal-provincial affordable housing program, and other fiscal tools and incentives. While the intent is supported, further details on these fiscal tools are required to assess the potential implications on the Region. In addition, the PPS should be strengthened to include policies requiring minimum affordable housing targets for low and moderate income households. Priority and Emerging Urban Centres 2.9 The Growth Plan intends to identify priority and emerging urban centres. Priority urban centres are recognized as hubs of employment and residential orowth that attract industrial and commercial activity, and public and private institutions. 2.10 The Discussion Paper recognizes priority urban centres as having the existing infrastructure, and the capacity to absorb further residential and employment growth in an efficient manner. Downtown Oshawa is identified as a priority urban centre. 7 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 8 2.11 Emerging urban centres are recognized as having some of the characteristics of priority urban centres, but not all. With time and investment they will become priority centres. Downtown Pickering is identified as an emerging urban centre. 2.12 Encouraging growth and development in established urban centres is supported, especially by identifying downtown Oshawa and Pickering as priority and emerging urban centres respectively. However, it is important for the Growth Plan to also recognize the surrounding urban area, consistent with the ROP (i.e. Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice Urban Area and Pickering/Ajax Urban Area), which are necessary to sustain the vitality of our "downtowns". 2.13 Further, the Discussion Paper recognizes that significant infrastructure investment is necessary for the Seaton lands before development can proceed. Accordingly, the Province must recognize that the development of Seaton can only proceed in compliance with the Regional policy of "growth must pay for growth and each phase of development must be financially sustainable". 2.14 The establishment of the Pickering Airport and its potential to become an employment hub in the eastern part of the GGH is recognized in the Discussion Paper. However, to increase its priority status, it is suggested that it be included on Map 3, "Priority and Emerging Urban Centres". 2.15 The proposed strategies to assist urban centres to attract growth, including: investments in infrastructure and provincial institutions; establishment of the Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt; development of new incentives and financial tools and standards and performance measures; preservation of employment lands; and streamlining the environmental assessment process are generally �!�ocorta 2.16 Additional and more flexible planning tools (i.e. conditional zoning, development permit system, Community Improvement Plans, density bonusing), which assist municipalities and support intensification and redevelopment are supported. The Region has recently commented on this through the Planning Reforms initiative lead by the Ministry of Municipal Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 9 Affairs and Housing. Municipalities should have the flexibility to determine which tools work best, based on local conditions. 2.17 The proposal to streamline the environmental assessment (EA) process is supported. In the Region's previous comments on Planning Reforms, it was recommended that the Class EA process be amended to recognize projects dealt with through a comprehensive planning process (such as a secondary plan) as having achieved their Phase 2 approval status. Consideration should be made to exempt all major infrastructure projects within priority urban growth areas, such as transit projects on existing rights-of-way, from a full EA. 2.18 The Discussion Paper indicates that the Province will develop standards and performance measures for urban centres, including jobs, transit ridership, density targets and targets for a range of affordable and appropriate housing choices. While the concept of performance measures may have merit, the establishment of standards will be difficult. If standards are not met, will provincial funding be jeopardized? Standards and performance measures cannot be applied generically across the area. Communities are at various levels of maturity and are experiencing growth at different rates. Local circumstances must be considered in the development and application of standards and measures. The Province should work with municipalities to develop meaningful and measurable performance standards, and criteria for their application. Future Growth Areas 2.19 The Discussion Paper recognizes that it may be necessary to consider expansions to some urban areas to accommodate growth over the next 30 years. !t includes a conceptual map illustrating potential future growth directions contiguous to existing urban areas. The Pickering/Ajax and Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice urban clusters in Durham are identified as "areas that will be further assessed for their ability to accommodate additional growth beyond what is currently planned for...". Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 10 2.20 The proposed criteria for considering expansions to urban boundaries over the next five years is generally supported. However: • the requirement for a minimum of 40% of projected growth to be accommodated through intensification (the ROP includes a target of 20%) requires further clarification as to how it will be applied and measured. Intensification takes time to achieve, particularly in emerging centres. 40% may not be achievable in all communities on an annual basis, if at all; and, • the realization of balanced population and employment growth of 1 job for every 2 persons (consistent with the target of the ROP) can only be achieved in Durham if current infrastructure deficits are resolved, in particular, the completion of Highway 407 and widenings to Highway 401 through the Region, and the construction of the airport in Pickering (Note: airports are recognized as infrastructure facilities in the Discussion Paper). Accordingly, a provincial commitment to assist in achieving the employment target in Durham is essential. 2.21 The Growth Plan would require Durham to prepare a Regional Growth Plan. On the basis of the Discussion Paper, it would appear that such a Regional Growth Plan would be consistent with the directions, policies and fiscal strategies already contained in the ROP, DC By-law, and yearly Servicing and Financing Studies. If this is the case, we question the need for such a Plan, when its elements already exist in other planning instruments. Economic Strength 2.22 The Growth Plan will promote economic development in the GGH by: • removing disincentives to development in urban centres and establishing urban economic development tools to attract investment (Tax Increment Financing, brownfield redevelopment incentives, and economic development corporations); • improving transportation efficiency; • improving efficiency of key infrastructure; and � Q Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 11 • ensuring there is a diverse and readily available inventory of employment lands. 2.23 A Greater Golden Horseshoe economic strategy that would benefit the Region of Durham is supported. Small Towns and Rural Communities 2.24 Although the Growth Plan focuses mainly on making efficient use of land and resources in priority and emerging urban areas, it recognizes that there is a great deal of land outside these areas. It is intended that the Growth Plan will build upon the recommendations of the-Greenbelt Task Force and the Plan for Building Strong Rural Communities, to establish measures to support rural communities, including: • ensuring provincial infrastructure strategies support rural municipalities; • examining how fiscal and regulatory tools could be used to better support rural communities; and • promoting revitalization of downtown areas, waterfronts and brownfields. 2.25 It is important to recognize these areas as "communities" and ensure that they continue to receive the necessary funding and tools to maintain their vitality. Infrastructure to Support Growth 2.26 The Discussion Paper focuses on a new approach to infrastructure planning and investment by: " octimizino the use cf existing infrastructure: • identifying strategic infrastructure investments to support urban growth and development; • establishing a more integrated transportation network; and • coordinating long range provincial infrastructure plans in partnership with the municipal and federal governments and other partners. �. l Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 12 Infrastructure and Investment 2.27 The Province proposes to integrate priority investment into a new 10-year Strategic Infrastructure Investment Plan that will focus infrastructure investment in priority urban centres. This approach can only be supported, if the funding is from the Province and the municipalities retain direct control and responsibility for infrastructure currently within their mandates (i.e. water, waste water, roads, solid waste, etc.). 2.28 Municipalities must retain control over capital budget investment decisions related to infrastructure for which they are currently financially responsible, to ensure accountability Integrated Regional Transportation Network 2.29 The Discussion Paper includes strategies for moving people and identifies Transit as a main priority, to achieve growth objectives, including: • building urban transit systems, including the 407 Transitway; • establishing new interregional transit services; • strengthening the GO Transit Rail System, including adding new tracks along the Lakeshore corridor through to Oshawa; and • building a network of high occupancy vehicle lanes. 2.30 While building the 407 Transitway in Durham is supported, ridership will not achieve desired levels without a system of local routes to feed this facility. Capital is urgently required to improve local transit services. The acquisition of costly rolling stock is paramount to achieving higher levels of service. For transit to work, a sustained funding commitment from the Province is essential. 2.31 Opportunities for implementing some transit priority facilities and intelligent transportation systems (i.e., transit priority signals, queue jump lanes, dedicated transit lanes, etc.) for transit should also be considered. 12 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 13 2.32 Durham Region faces a major physical impediment for connections to the west because of the Rouge Valley. More emphasis should be placed on rapid transit links to York Region, the City of Toronto and beyond, to ensure that Durham Region can achieve its full economic potential. 2.33 The Discussion Paper recognizes the proposed extension of Highway 407 easterly to Highways 35 and 115 as an economic corridor, providing a connection between the GTA and areas to the east. This facility has long been recognized as an important structural element of the ROP and critical to the Region's future. Accordingly, the Province must give priority for its immediate construction. Consideration should also be given to the extension of Highway 404 as a priority to support the economic vitality of the northern communities. 2.34 Strengthening of the GO Transit Rail System, particularly the addition of new tracks to Oshawa will benefit the Region. However, the extension of GO rail service to Bowmanville should also be given serious consideration. Bowmanville should be recognized as a possible transit hub for the future interregional transit link between Durham and Peterborough. Other links that need consideration include a lakeshore east link to Port Hope and Cobourg, and a possible link to Lindsay. 2.35 While mention is made of facilities to support carpooling and HOV lanes, there should be a stronger commitment from the Province to champion and support broader Transportation Demand Management (TDM) initiatives. Greater investment in TDM has the potential to optimize the use of existing and future (i.e., HOV lanes, carpool lots, and intelligent transportation systems) facilities. The Province should take this opportunity to acknowledge and support municipal TDM programs and the Smart Commute Initiative that the Region is involved in. 2.36 The Discussion Paper also includes strategies for moving goods. It recognizes significant components of the transportation system for the movement of goods including the 400 series highways, rail corridors,shipping ports and airports. It is suggested that the significance of a future airport in Pickering be recognized as a component of the transportation system. 13 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 14 2.37 The Discussion Paper proposes strategies to implement the proposed integrated transportation network including: • establishing the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority; • providing 2 cents per litre of provincial gas tax for public transit; • streamlining the EA process, particularly for the transit initiatives of the Growth Plan; and • providing incentives for transit-supportive development. 2.38 Streamlining the EA process, providing incentives for transit supportive land use, promoting alternative development standards, fast tracking development, and corridor protection are positive implementation objectives. However, the Discussion Paper provides very little detail of how these might be achieved. The key to implementation of transit is sustained funding. Two cents per litre of the provincial gas tax may not be enough to accomplish the goals of the Growth Plan. The mandate and function of the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority is not clear. Further information is required,before its value in supporting the Growth Plan, can be assessed. Sustainable Water and Wastewater Services 2.39 The Discussion Paper recognizes that the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act will make it mandatory for municipalities to assess the full cost of providing their water and sewer services and to prepare long-term cost- recovery plans that consider all operating and capital costs; all sources of revenue; and the investment required to maintain and expand their system. Full cost recovery is intended to ensure that adequate funding is available for water and sewer infrastructure over the long term. 2.40 The Province has yet to pass regulations for the legislation. Therefore a comprehensive assessment of its implications on the Region cannot be made at this time. Particular details are required regarding potential funding and strategies to increase rates over time to reflect "the true costs of water and wastewater services". Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 15 Protecting What is Valuable 2.41 Protecting and enhancing our resources is recognized as an important part of managing growth. The Growth Plan will recognize the protection of resources, including: Water Resources —through existing and proposed legislation; • Natural Heritage and Greenspace Systems—through the establishment of the Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt; • Agricultural Resources - by ensuring that urban boundary expansions onto farmland be considered only when justified and feasible, and through the establishment of the Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt; and • Mineral Aggregate Resources —through conservation, protecting high potential aggregate areas, and undertaking extraction and rehabilitation in a timely manner. 2.42 While the protection of our natural resources is consistent with the ROP, it is necessary that the Growth Plan and the PPS provide clarity on provincial priorities among the various competing policy areas (i.e. natural heritage features vis-a-vis agricultural lands and mineral aggregates). Water Resources 2.43 The Growth Plan relies on source water protection (SWP) legislation to protect water resources. However, SWP will only address local water issues. The Region has previously identified critical questions on the draft SWP legislation that requires resolution by the Province, including: • How source protection planning fits into a broader provincial source rrotection raolicv oroararn: and • How investment in source protection planning will be balanced with spending on infrastructure improvements or actions to deal with known threats to drinking water. 15 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 16 Natural Heritage and Greenspace Systems 2.44 The Discussion Paper calls for the integration of the Growth Plan with the Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt as the means of protecting the natural heritage and greenbelt systems. The integration of these initiatives is essential to a broader growth management approach. Agricultural Resources 2.45 The Province needs to consider the economic viability of agricultural operations in the planning of rural areas, while affording a higher level of protection for farmland. The Discussion Paper recognizes that the protection of prime agricultural areas will be undertaken within the context of establishing the permanent Greenbelt. The recommendations of the GTA Agricultural Action Plan, endorsed by Regional Council, provides a foundation for agricultural land protection and advancing farming as an industry, and thus should be recognized by the Growth Plan and be incorporated in the PPS. Aggregate Resources 2.46 The Discussion Paper promotes the conservation of aggregate resources through a focus on reuse and recycling of materials and by reducing demand. It also seeks to protect high potential aggregate areas, ensure timely extraction and rehabilitation, and explore ways to minimize the impact of transporting aggregates to market. The Paper, however, does not elaborate on how this will be accomplished. Implementation 2.47 The Discussion Paper recognizes that plans and policies are only as success ui as their implementation. it suggests that the implementation oi the Growth Plan will require: • Provincial Leadership and Partnership— by ensuring provincial programs and investments are based on the Growth Plan; 16 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 17 • Effective Implementation Tools —through the provision of regulatory and fiscal tools and programs; • Legislative Framework — may be required to ensure the implementation of clear roles and responsibilities, and consistency with other legislation; and • Monitoring and Review—to assess the impact on quality of life and the performance of communities. Provincial Leadership and Partnership 2.48 Strong leadership from the Province will be required to ensure the effective implementation of the Growth Plan, particularly as it relates to the coordination of all of the interrelated initiatives that have been initiated as part of the Province's Strong Communities agenda. The effectiveness or need for a blue ribbon panel, as another level of bureaucracy, to monitor and advise on the Growth Plan is questioned. The Province should consider building on its partnership with municipalities to gauge the success of, and advise on the evolution of the Growth Plan. Larger municipalities can offer specialized expertise in infrastructure planning and investment. Effective Implementation Tools 2.49 Various regulatory tools are proposed to assist in the implementation of the Growth Plan. The regulatory tools generally fall under the Planning Act and are covered under the on-going Planning Reforms initiative. While the proposed reforms are generally supported, as noted in previous submissions by the Region, additional actions and further revisions to existing legislation and the PPS are essential to strengthen the effectiveness of these tools. 2.50 The most important tools to facilitate the implementation of the Growth Plan grill he fiscal tools. yllhile the Discussion Pataer suooests the tvpes of tools that may be made available, the level of detail is insufficient to allow for an assessment of their potential implications on the Region. The fiscal tools need to be explored in much more detail. It must be recognized that municipalities face fiscal constraints and limited sources to generate revenue (i.e. property taxes, fees and development charges). Innovative and sustained funding sources, as well as options related to education property 17 Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 18 taxes and development charges will be required to implement the Growth Plan. Legislative Framework 2.51 Provincial legislation may be enacted to ensure compliance and ongoing implementation of the Growth Plan. Should the Province decide to enact legislation it is recommended that it be implemented through regulation in order that it may be changed without the requirement to amend the legislation, similar to the Oak Ridges Conservation Plan. Further, any legislation should have the effect of defining the roles and responsibilities of the Province, as well as municipalities. Monitoring and Review 2.52 The monitoring and review of the Growth Plan is necessary to assess its effectiveness. It is unclear how this will be completed and by whom. As previously noted, a model based on a partnership between the Province and municipalities should be considered as a basis for this function. 3. CONCLUSION 3.1 The Province should be commended for initiating a broad management approach for the Greater Golden Horseshoe that will help to sustain the anticipated growth in population and employment in this area. The integration of this initiative with the other initiatives to achieve the Provincial Strong Communities agenda is an important step in maintaining the high quality of life and the competitive advantage of the area. ?.2 The Vision, directions and strategies in the Discussion Paoer are generally supported. However, further information on fiscal tools and incentives are required before the potential implications on the Region can be fully assessed. In addition, further enhancements to the Growth Plan as detailed in this report would assist in realizing Durham's growth management objectives. The comments in this report, as well as previous submissions by Report No.: 2004-P-73 Page No. 19 the Region, are provided to assist the Province in its efforts to achieve strong communities. 3.3 Should Planning Committee support the recommendations of this report, in order to meet the September 24, 2004 deadline for comments, a copy will be forwarded to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal prior to Council consideration on September 29, 2004, with appropriate qualifications.
