Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer ATS*CP*sh*df 17 June 2009 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 2 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Andy Anderson of Headgate Group Inc. 1.2 Agent: Kevin Tunney, Tunney Planning Inc. 1.3 Plan of Subdivision: 23 single-detached dwelling lots, comprised of ten, 10.0-metre lots and thirteen, 12.0-metre lots, and related lands for roads, and a block for future development. 1.4 Amendment to the Zoning By-law: To change the current zoning on the lands from "Agricultural (A) Zone" and "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone" to the "Holding -Urban Residential ((H)R2-58) Zone" and the "Holding -Urban Residential ((H)R2-60) Zone" to permit the proposed development. 1.5 Site Area: 4.043 hectares (9.99 acres). 1.6 Location: The subject property is located at 1820 and 1824 Nash Road, being west of Hancock Road, north of Nash Road, in Part Lot 27, Concession 3 in the former Township of Darlington (Attachment 1). 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Original Application: On January 27, 2004 Andy Anderson on behalf of Headgate Group Inc. submitted an application for approval of Draft Plan of Subdivision and a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit the development of 35 residential units, a block for school purposes, and a block for park purposes (Attachment 2). The public meeting was held on May 17, 2004. 2.2 Revised Application: Subsequent to the Public Meeting held May 17, 2004, the applicant proceeded to address comments from staff, agencies and the public. Resulting from the consultative process and the completion of further studies, the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment application has been revised and now includes 23 single-detached dwelling lots and related roads (Attachment 3). The remaining lands (Future Development Block 24) include a portion of a Provincially Significant Wetland and lands to establish a buffer area between the proposed residential lots and an existing auto wrecker use to the east. 2.3 Studies and reports submitted in support of the applications include: • Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment • Functional Servicing Report • Noise Impact Study • Noise Compatibility Study • Environmental Impact Study REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 3 3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING LAND USES 3.1 The subject lands consist of a mixture of agricultural and forested lands with storage sheds. 3.2 Surrounding Uses: West - Registered Plan of Subdivision 40M-2364 with new residential construction East - Courtice Auto Wreckers, rural residential (Attachment 4) North - Registered Plan of Subdivision 40M-2364 with new residential construction South - Vacant, rural residential 4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policv Statement: The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on the efficient use of land, infrastructure and other public services, such as public transit. Natural features and areas shall be protected for the long term. The diversity and connectivity of such features should be maintained, restored or, where possible, improved. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan: The Provincial Growth Plan provides a framework for accommodating growth in both existing built up areas, through intensification and redevelopment, and in greenfield areas. The subject Draft Plan is within a greenfield area. Development in greenfield areas should be compact and transit-supportive and within an area serviced by existing or planned municipal infrastructure, such as water and sewer services. Greenfield areas are to have a minimum density target of 50 persons and jobs per hectare across the Region. Natural heritage features that complement, link or enhance natural systems shall be identified and protected. The subject applications were filed prior to the enactment of the Provincial Growth Plan and is not required to conform. 5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 Durham Reoion Official Plarr Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the lands are designated as Living Area, with an indication of Key Natural Heritage and Hydrologic Features. Lands designated as Living Area permit the development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure. The natural environment, including Key Natural Heritage and Hydrologic Features, shall be given paramount consideration in light of their ecological functions and scientific, educational and health values. The subject property is located along Nash Road, which is designated as a Type "B" Arterial. The applications. conform to the Durham Region Official Plan. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 4 5.2 Clarinpton Official Plan: Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as Urban Residential and Environmental Protection Area. The use of land in the Urban Residential designation is predominantly for single and semi detached housing. The lands are within the Hancock Neighbourhood of the Courtice Urban Area, which has a population allocation of 2,900 and a housing unit target of 975. The Environmental Protection Area includes a significant woodlot and a wetland as identified on Map C1, Natural Heritage System. The subject site is within the Lake Iroquois Beach. The wetland is a portion of the Black/Farewell Wetland Complex, a Provincially Significant Wetland. An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is required for development applications located on lands within or adjacent to the Lake Iroquois Beach and/or, any natural heritage feature identified on Map C1. An EIS was undertaken and is reviewed in Section 7.5 of this report. The policies require that plans of subdivision within the Lake Iroquois Beach implement the recommendations of any EIS, to maintain or enhance groundwater functions including but not limited to special house and infrastructure design requirements, stormwater management or construction techniques. The subject Draft Plan is bound by Nash Road to the south which is a Type B Arterial Road and is a municipal road. Type B Arterial Roads are designed to move significant volumes of traffic at moderate speeds from one part of the Municipality to the other. Type "B" Arterial Roads shall have aright-of-way width ranging from 30 to 36 metres. Immediately east of the subject site is Courtice Auto Wreckers which is identified in the Official Plan as Waste Disposal Assessment Area. Waste Disposal Assessment Areas shall include all lands that may be influenced by a site on which waste has been deposited, or by a site on which waste will be deposited under a Provisional Certificate of Approval issued under the Environmental Protection Act. The area of influence shall be defined as 500 metres from the lands containing wastes unless othervuise determined by the Province. Development within these areas shall be regulated in order to protect public health and safety and to ensure land use compatibility. A Phase I Environmental Assessment and a Noise Assessment were undertaken to determine the impact of the adjacent auto wrecker on proposed development. These are reviewed in Section 7.0 of this report. The proposed Plan of Subdivision is located within Hancock Neighbourhood. A neighbourhood design plan was prepared and approved by the Director of Planning and Development and the Director of Public Works in September 1998. In August of 1999 the Ministry of Natural Resources released updated mapping for the Black -Farewell Wetland Complex. The revised mapping incorporated a number of wetland areas in the Hancock neighbourhood that were not considered in previous mapping dating back to 1987. This revised mapping impacts future development of Block 24 of the subject draft plan, and has more significant impacts on road and lotting REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 5 patterns to the west and north of the subject lands. Staff maintain that the development of the subject draft plan being 23 lots and related roads and services can proceed in light of the revised wetland mapping as the 23 lots are outside of the area affect by the wetland and its buffer, and supported by the EIS. The proposed plan of subdivision has been prepared in keeping with the approved neighbourhood plan. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended the lands are zoned "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)". A Zoning By-law amendment is required in order to implement the proposed plan of subdivision. 7.0 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION 7.1 The consulting firm of Golder Associates were retained by the applicant to undertake a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment. The primary objective of the assessment is to document site conditions on the day of the site reconnaissance and if possible identify former or current practices on the subject property that may present issues of potential environmental concern. Potential environmental concerns were identified with the following: The proximity of Courtice Auto Wreckers to the east of the subject lands and potential impacts to subsurface soils (Attachment 4). The existing structures on the subject lands containing solvents/fuel containers, a freezer, chairs, mattresses and scrap metal. The report also notes suspected asbestos-containing siding. The presence of six 45 gallon drums on the subject property containing items such as ashes, wood, scrap metal, cardboard and rags. 7.2 Functional Servicing Report: The consulting firm of Sernas Associates was retained to prepare a Functional Servicing Report. The report concluded that the site can be adequately serviced with municipal sanitary sewer and water once services are extended to Registered Plan of Subdivision 40M-2364 abutting to the west, and provided along Nash Road. Minor storm drainage can be accommodated in the storm sewer design for Registered Plan of Subdivision 40M-2364. Major overland flow can be accommodated with an outtall to Nash Road via local streets and outlet to the stormwater management facility located at the south-east corner of Nash Road and Courtice Road. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 6 7.3 Noise Impact Study: The Noise Impact Study prepared by Sernas Associates in 2004 provided noise abatement measures given the development's location along Nash Road. The report does not identify any .mitigation measures for the outdoor living areas. Common abatement measures with respect to ventilation and building components are required for those lots fronting onto Nash Road. The recommendations are incorporated through appropriate draft plan conditions and implemented through the subdivision agreement. 7.4 Noise Compatibility Assessment: A Noise Compatibility Assessment was prepared by Golder Associates in 2007. The report assessed land use compatibility between the subject draft plan and Courtice Auto Wreckers. The Ontario Ministry of Environment's (MOE) D-6 guideline (Compatibility between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses) provided the premise for the assessment. The typical setback between a sensitive use (in this case, residential) and a Class II Industrial Facility, such as Courtice Auto Wreckers, is 70 metres. However, as the guideline states, there is merit to establishing a lesser setback where infilling, urban redevelopment and/or a transition to mixed use is taking place. The assessment concludes that the existing auto wrecker for the proposed residential development will not cause land use interference issues. The consultant's conclusions are based on: • Lack of complaints from current residents; • Proposed residential development has a greater separation distance than the existing residential receptors; and • On site setbacks from the vehicle storage area which provide an even greater separation distance which will further minimize potential interference. Based on the conclusions of the assessment, and discussions with staff and agencies, the subject draft plan has been revised by withdrawing the lots within a 30 metre buffer of the auto wrecker. Future development of Block 24 will require subsequent planning approvals and the status of the auto wrecker would be a consideration at that time. As part of this approval process, it is recommended that an appropriate warning clause to inform purchasers of potential nuisance effects be included in all offers of purchase and sale. 7.5 Environmental Impact Studv: An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was prepared by Aquafor Beech Limited in 2006. The EIS was required to provide an in depth review of whether the subject draft plan can proceed while ensuring the protection of the Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW), a part of the Black-Farewell Creek Wetland Complex. The EIS also provides general recommendations that will impact the development of lands in the broader Hancock Neighbourhood. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 7 Recommendations specific to the subject draft plan include: • Applicable recommendations of the EIS shall be incorporated into required stormwater management report; • Grading and drainage plan to include lot-level infiltration measures; • Owner to provide measures to ensure long-term protection of sensitive portions of Block 24; • Owner to prepare a tree preservation plan; • Owner to prepare a relocation plan to demonstrate protection of rare plant species; and • Requirement of an erosion and sediment control plan. The recommendations are incorporated in the conditions of draft approval. Additional recommendations contained within the report are not specific to the subject draft plan. These recommendations will be considered during the update to the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan and will be implemented through the development of Block 24 and other lands within the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan -more specifically those lands generally west of Harry Gay Drive and north of George Reynolds Drive. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 First Public Meeting May 17. 2004 Public Notice was given by mail to each A Public Meeting sign was installed on I landowner within 120 metres of the subject site. lash Road. 8.2 On March 14, 2004 Ms. Libby Racansky appeared before Council to express concerns with urban sprawl particularly in relation to development in and adjacent to the Hancock Neighbourhood. Her concerns specifically quote the applications submitted by Headgate and the applications to amend the Durham Region Official Plan, Clarington Official Plan and Hancock Neighbourhood Plan submitted by Nash Road Development, neighbouring land owner to the west and north, to expand the urban boundary of Courtice. Ms. Racansky on behalf of the Hancock residents requested the following: a) No further development applications be dealt with until the draft Zoning By-law identifies areas for development, taking into consideration Ministry of Natural Resources wetland boundary; b) Refine the Hancock Neighbourhood Plan taking into account the wetland boundary; and c) Planning practices should curb low density urban sprawl by permitting high density along Nash Road and thereby avoiding expansion to the urban area boundary. A subsequent planning report was considered by Council in October 2006 following a further submission from Ms. Racansky. The report recommended a review of the Neighbourhood Design Plan for the lands north and west of registered Plan 40M-2364. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 8 8.3 Second Public Meeting June 15. 2009: Given the amount of time that has lapsed since the first public meeting in 2004, a second public meeting was considered appropriate. Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and all interested parties. A Public Meeting sign was installed on Nash Road. 8.4 Up until the time of preparing this report, no additional submissions have been received. 9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 The application has been circulated to a number of agencies for comment. Clarington Emergency and Fire Services Department and Clarington Building Division have no objections to the proposal. 9.2 The Clarington Engineering Services Department, Engineering and Parks Division provided comments supporting the application subject to a number of conditions including the following: • Actual development cannot proceed until such time as suitable road connections and all related urban services have been constructed within the adjacent plan of subdivision. Suitability of road accesses and timing of development will be made at the sole discretion of the Director of Engineering Services. • Given the timing of the east-west connections to lands to the east, and the timing of the reconstruction of Nash Road, only those lots fronting onto to Street "A" can proceed as Phase 1. The developer is required as a condition of the subdivision agreement to contribute financially to a portion of the downstream stormwater management facilities and infrastructure (which have been previously installed) to satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services. • The stormwater drainage works and facilities necessary for this development must be constructed in accordance with the Black Creek Tributary Master Drainage Study. • The applicant's engineer will be required to prepare a Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan. Corner elevations for each lot must be provided. Satisfactory interim drainage must be implemented. Tree/vegetation preservation must be incorporated into the plan. The required plan will be subject to the approval of the Director of Engineering Services prior to final approval of the subject draft plan. • The owner will be responsible for 50% of the cost for the reconstruction of Nash Road fronting Lots 19 to 23. The cost will include any works including stormwater drainage improvements that are deemed necessary by the Director of Engineering Services. Development on Lots 19 to 23 cannot occur until reconstruction of Nash Road is complete. • Cash-in-lieu will be required as the parkland dedication. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 9 9.3 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board confirmed in writing in February 2007 that the school site as indicated in the Neighbourhood Design Plan will not be pursued. 9.4 The Region of Durham submitted comments based on their review of the revised draft plan and the technical reports, and have provided applicable conditions. The Region of Durham did not object to the subject draft plan and acknowledges that Block 24 provides a buffer between the auto wrecker and the proposed residential uses until such time as the auto wrecker use ceases and appropriate remediation has taken place. Other items highlighted in their review include: No objections to the findings of the EIS subject to satisfying CLOC's comments; Acknowledgement that the applicant will be required to implement the noise attenuation measures through the subdivision agreement; and Municipal water and sanitary sewer services are available and can be extended to accommodate this development. 9.5 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority advises that a portion of the Black/ Farewell Provincially Significant Wetland Complex is located on the subject property. CLOCA reviewed the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and suggested that the portion of the wetland and buffer area be designated as an open space block. The EIS may have to be revisited based on the dissolution of the school block. The EIS also identified several rare plant species on the subject lands which should be appropriately relocated, if possible, prior to any construction or development activity occurring on the site. 10.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 The subject lands are within an area designated for urban development on full municipal services within the Durham Region Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan. Approval of the subject draft plan is also consistent with provincial land use policies, as well as regional and local Official Plan policies. 10.2 The revised draft plan (Attachment 3) comes forward as result of a public meeting process and consultative period during which several factors affected the initial draft plan (Attachment 2), namely: A portion of the subject lands are designated as a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was prepared to determine impacts and mitigation techniques in favour of the natural features on the site; The proximity of Courtice Auto Wreckers necessitated additional review and comments which resulted in a 30 metre buffer surrounding the auto wrecker site. Development within this buffer will not occur at this time; and The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has confirmed the school site (Block 35 on the first submission) is no longer required. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 10 10.3 The revised draft plan now includes 23 lots for single detached dwellings. Block 24 is comprised of those lands that cannot be developed at this time (wetland and protective buffer area, former school/parkland blocks, 30 metre buffer surrounding auto wrecker site). The development of any portion of Block 24 is unlikely to proceed until such a time as lands intensify to the east and will be subject to future applications. Conditions have been included to ensure the perpetual maintenance and protection of Block 24 until that time. 10.4 The first phase of development includes Lots 1 to 13. Development on Lots 19 to 23 cannot proceed until the reconstruction of Nash Road is complete. Furthermore, the Owner is responsible for contributing to 50% of the cost of the reconstruction project. Similarly, development on Lots 14 to 18 cannot proceed until the logical extension of Street 'B" is complete. 10.5 As a result of the revised wetland mapping certain lands in the Hancock Neighbourhood cannot be developed until the Neighbourhood Design Plan is revisited. It is recommended that the subject draft plan be approved given its location outside of the affected areas, which is confirmed by the findings of the Environmental Impact Study. While Block 24 forms part of this approval, actual development on Block 24 will be contingent upon the review of the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan and subsequent Planning Act applications. 10.6 The recommendations of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) will be implemented through the Draft Plan Conditions and applicable provisions will be included in the Subdivision Agreement. 10.7 The presence of Courtice Auto Wreckers abutting the eastern property limits of the subject lands necessitated discussion and revisions to the initial draft plan which had residential lots abutting the auto wrecker site. The revised plan now provides a minimum 30 metre buffer between proposed residential lots and the auto wrecker. The status of the auto wrecker will be a considered as part of any future development proposals on Block 24. Municipal and Regional Planning Staff are satisfied that the intent of the Ministry of Environment's D-6 Guideline (Compatibility between Industrial Facilities and Sensitive Land Uses) is being satisfied and an appropriate warning clause notifying all prospective purchasers of the auto wrecker forms part of the approval. 10.8 Appropriate draft plan conditions, including required warning clauses, have been included to satisfy the findings of the Noise Impact Study that looked at impacts associated with the plan's location along Nash Road. These requirements will be included in the Subdivision Agreement. 10.9 As confirmed by the functional servicing report, the lands can be adequately serviced via the logical extension of water and sanitary sewer services from the west. The design of the stormwater management pond was sized to accommodate the subject lands. A more detailed stormwater management report will be required prior to final approval of the plan. REPORT NO.: PSD-060-09 PAGE 11 10.10 It is recommended that the residential portion of the subject lands be placed in the "Holding -Urban Residential Exception ((H)R2-58) Zone" and the "Holding -Urban Residential Exception ({H)R2-60) Zone" to allow for the layout of the 10.0 metre and 12.0 metre lots. The zones applied reflect current standards seen in newer subdivisions with respect to lot coverage and setbacks. The Holding (H) provision will be utilized to ensure adequate access and services prior to development and will be lifted- by Council when the appropriate conditions are met. While it is premature to determine the zoning for the developable portion of Block 24, it is recommended that the wetland and the 30 metre buffer be placed in the Environmental Protection (EP) Zone at this time. 10.11 The applicant has provided their concurrence with the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval as set out in Attachment 6. The conditions include those referenced above and those which are standard and apply to all development in the Municipality of Clarington. 10.12 All taxes payable to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full. 11.0 CONCLUSIONS 11.1 In consideration of the comments received by applicable agencies, staff and area residents, staff recommend that the Draft Plan of Subdivison SC-2004-002 (Attachment 3) subject to the Conditions of Draft Plan Approval (Attachment 5) and the Zoning By- law Amendment (Attachment 6) be APPROVED.
