REPORT NO.: Addendum 3 to PSD-077-08 PAGE 3
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Staff has submitted two addendums to Report PSD-077-08 originally presented
to the General Purpose and Administration- GPA- Committee on July 7, 2008,
and the Addendums were presented to the same Committee on November 3,
2008. and December 1, 2008 respectively.
1.2 At the December 1, 2008 GPA Committee meeting, the Committee directed the
Director of Planning Services to change the proposed zoning bylaw to designate
a portion of the site exclusively for a hotel. The Committee also wanted to merge
the retail provisions for store sizes from both the C5-14 and C5-15 zones. The
Committee's resolution further directed the Director of Planning Services to work
with the applicant to define the location and area for the hotel zone.
2.0 DISCUSSION
2.1 Staff have prepared the attached revised by-law for Council's consideration. The
following changes have been made:
• -The C5-15 zoned has been reduced to a 0.67 ha. (1.66 ac) portion of the
lands on the east side of Spry Avenue. This is the site which will be zoned
for a hotel and related accessory place of assembly (e.g. banquet hall)
• The C5-14 zone has been extended to include the north portion of the
lands east of Spry. Therefore, for retail stores with an area between 232
m2 and 46~ m , a total retail floor area of 2,787 m2 (30,000 square feet)
has been all Gated in this zone.
• A hotel is a ~ermitted use on both the C5-14 and C5-15 to allow for ease
of siting a hotel when a tenant is secured.
• Clauses were included in the by-law to ensure that the zone lines between
C5-14 and C5-15 were not considered as property lines for ease for
placement of buildings on the site.
• Map 1 (Attaclhment 3) to this addendum reflects the final zoning categories
representing Council's direction.
2.2 We have held conversations with the applicants. However, we were not able to
reach a consensus as to the amount of land to be dedicated for the hotel zone.
The applicant suggested one acre and indicated that this amount of land was
requested by a hotel chain that was interested on the site about three years ago.
2.3 To define the area for the hotel designation, staff took into consideration the site
plan submitted by the applicant. This site plan identified the location of the
proposed hotel. In addition, staff considered the possible land needs of a hotel
similar to the Holiday Inn being built in Bowmanville. The Holiday Inn site is 0.64
ha (1.58 ac.). Therefore, staff recommends a site size for the hotel of 0.67 ha.
(1.66 ac).
REPORT NO.: Addendum 3 to PSD-077-08 PAGE 4
2.4 The proposed zone for the hotel does not include the proposed restaurant of
approximately 400 m2 shown on the site plan. This restaurant was part of the site
plan submitted byl the applicant. Until a hotel tenant is secured it is difficult to
determine whether! their would be sufficient room for this restaurant. At such time
as a hotel is constructed, staff would have no objection to consider additional
uses on the C5-1511ands.
2.5 The By-law also provides the applicant with flexibility to build the hotel with
assembly hall facilities. The assembly hall (e.g. conference centre) would have to
be part or attached to the hotel, mainly as an accessory use. Further flexibility on
the final configuration of the hotel is provided by allowing hotel uses in the C5-14
zone and by not considering the zone lines for setback purposes between the
C5-14 and C5-15 zones.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 The proposed By-law attached to this addendum reflects Council objectives for
the site. In addition the proposed Zoning By-law retains many of the changes
suggested by the applicant namely:
The proposed by-law restores some of the original uses for clarity (beer,
liquor or wine outlet). It has also retained some other uses in the C5 zone
(an assembly hall, a day nursery).
The applicant also requested to add more flexibility to store sizes originally
contemplated in their application. The By-law removes many of the retail
space sizes and only limits the number of stores between 232 m2 and 465
m2; the by-law also increases to 2787 m2 the maximum area for these
types of stores.
In addition, .the by-law removes the retail limit for the whole site as
requested by the applicants to provide them with more flexibility for
marketing the site.
• A financial institution currently not represented in the market has been
added to the permitted list of uses.
3.2 With these changes, staff considers that the proposed by-law establishes a
balance between the flexibility requested by the applicants for the development
of the whole site and the objectives of Council to see a hotel developed on the
property.

REPORT NO.: Addendum 2 to Report PSD-077-08
1.0 BAClEGROU"1D
PAGE 3
1.1 Staff submitted a recommendation report: Addendum to Report PSD-077-08
(Attachment 1) to the General- Purpose and Administration Committee on
November 3, 2008.
Members of the Commiftee expressed concern that Staffs recommendation
regarding the six year time frame for the development of the hotel, was
insufficient given the demands for overnight accommodation to support the
nuclear New Build, which is expected to begin as early as 2010.
The opinion was also expressed that one new hotel, a Holiday Inn Express Hotel
& Suites, which is currently under construction in Bowmanville, would not be
enough to serve the community and the expected demand generated by the New
Build project in particular. Members of the Committee felt that Council has a
responsibility to "ensure" sufficient hotel accommodation is built to support-the
Province and dntario Power Generation during the construction of the new
nuclear reactors and the refurbishment of the existing reactors.
1.2 After further consideration, the Committee recommended that the report be
referred back to staff for a written report to be presented to Committee at the
General Purpose and Administration Committee Meeting on December 1,2008.
2.0 DISCUSSION
2.1 As noted at the November 3`d meeting, the Municipality cannot ensure the timing
of a specific. development through a Zoning By-law, as this is left to market
conditions and the willingness of the developer to market and to proceed with the
development. A Zoning By-law regulates the use and scale of land uses and
development, but not the time frame of a specific use. There is however scope
to include zoning regulations that relate to the phasing of development.
2.2 To assist in the course of expediting and securing the construction of the hotel on
.the site, as requested by some members of the General Purpose and
Administration Committee, one option would be to require that a hotel be under
construction prior to any other uses being permitted for the C5-15 zone, the lands
east of the former Spry Avenue Road allowance. This would allow other
buildings to commence construction, but the building could not be occupied and
used until the hotel is substantially under construction.
To implement this staff recommends that the initial Zoning By-law Amendment be
further revised by introducing the following clause under the new Subsection
20.4.15 d (i) ;Regulations fer Non-Residential Uses) as follows:
`lVo building may be used on any one or more portions of the lands zoned (C5-
15) for the purposes of one or more of the permitted non-residential uses listed in
Section 20.4.15 of the By-law unless a building permit has been issued for a
hotel and the Chief building Official has approved the completed foundation"
REPORT NO.: Addendum 2 to Report PSD-077-08 PAGE 4
2.3 This clause is quite restrictive in nature. While other buildings could be
constructed or commence construction on the C5-15 lands at any time, it is
unlikely that this would be done since the buildings could not be occupied and
Used without the hotel co~~~pletL~g the first stage of construction. However, some
flexibility is provided in that the hotel does not have to be operational. Staff
believe that the investment needed to reach completion of the foundation is
significant that there would be minimal risk that the owner would not complete the
hotel. This clause is a similar in technique to one previously used for Clarington
.Centre, which required a department store and a grocery store.
2.4 This condition does not affect the lands west of Spry Avenue, where the
recommended by-law allows for more flexibility in retail uses.
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 Council's concern is to expedite the construction of the hotel to provide the much
needed infrastructure to support the growing accommodation needs associated
with not only the Nuclear New Build but also the other large infrastructure
projects including Highway 407, the redevelopment and refurbishment of the
Darlington 'A' nuclear site, the OPG Nuclear offices, and the Port Granby Project
and also to serve general growth of the Municipality. The Bowmanville Creek
Developments has proposed a hotel from the commencement of the application
and it is one of the few serviced sites in the Municipality that could be developed
for hotel uses in the short term.
3.2 There are two options for the rezoning of the site as follows:
Option 1 - To require the hotel as part of the zoning
This option has been described above and is reflected in the revised by-law
contained in Attachment 2 to this Addendum report. The suggested revision to
the proposed Zoning By-law, coupled with Staffs recommendation to allow
private open space associated with a hotel, would provide a strong incentive to
encourage the early construction of a hotel.
Option 2 - To permit a hotel as one of the possible uses
If Council does not wish to pursue this option but maintain the approach
contained in previous reports, the same by-law should be approved with the
deletion of clause 20.4.15 d. (i).
