AMENDMENT N0.66
TO THE CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Amendment to the Municipality of Clarington Official
Plan is to permit the development of the northerly 1.90 hectares of the
subject lands with a six to eight storey condominium apartment building
containing 177 units, and a six unit condominium townhouse building,
accessed by a condominium road. This amendment designates land for
High Density Residential purposes, deletes the Neighbourhood Park and
re-designates a strip of land at the north limit of the property for parking to
be used by the adjacent commercial development. Amendments are
required to the High Density Residential policies, Land Use Schedule, the
Courtice West Shopping District Secondary Plan Land Use Schedule and
the population/unit count tables of the Municipality's Official Plan..
BASIS: The land use implemented by this Amendment to the Municipality of
Clarington Official Plan is an appropriate use of the subject land and will
result in the creation of an additional/altemative form of residential housing
to the local community.
The proposed development is located in close proximity to a major arterial
road allowing for good access to the arterial road .and public transit
networks. Development in conjunction with the abutting commercial project
to the north permits increased interaction befinreen residents, retail, and
services white providing for pedestrian friendly opportunities. The location
of the proposed residential development being in proximity to the open
space lands provides for a high aesthetic quality of life for residents of the
development.
The design of the proposed residential development incorporates a tiered
design and reasonable height to minimize the visual impact while
respecting existing neighbouring uses.
The development is designed in a compact, urban form which will efficiently
use municipal infrastructure. The design is coordinated with a commercial
project contemplated for lands to the north, resulting in a land use which is
an alternative form of a mixed use project. This enables residents of the
condominium site to utilize nearby commercial and office opportunities.
The 0.5 hectare parkette located within the landholding will provide amenity
space for future residents of the buildings and can be used in conjunction
with the extensive open space system abutting the site to the east.
