9.1 Lisa Backus, Principal Planner, Regarding Report PSD-008-20 Zone
Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments
Lisa Backus, Principal Planner, was present regarding Report PSD-008-20, Zone
Clarington, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments. She made
a verbal presentation to accompany an electronic presentation. Ms. Backus
provided an overview of the maps for the Clarington Official Plan 2003,
Clarington Natural Heritage System, prior to OPA 107, Comprehensive Zoning
By-law 84-63 and the Clarington Official Plan, 2010. She explained the policy
framework that went into the Official Plan, and displayed maps of how each
policy looks in Clarington. Ms. Backus noted that there are many benefits of a
protected natural heritage system:
• Protects residents from erosion or flooding hazards;
• Allows for wildlife and plant movement thus maintaining biodiversity; and
• Increases the overall amount of natural cover in the landscape and adds to
the aesthetic value of the landscape.
She explained that Clarington's System is narrower than the provincial system in
many instances, because their natural heritage systems include the agricultural
fields between features. Ms. Backus provided an overview of the Natural
Heritage Components, Watercourses, Fish Habitat and Riparian Corridors,
Woodlands, Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSIs), Valleylands, and
Wetlands. She demonstrated how our Natural Heritage System is made through
a series of maps and overlays. Ms. Backus stated that, as a result of the release
of the first draft of the zoning by-law mapping, the Zone Clarington team has
received 169 requests for a site specific review. She provided an example of a
site specific review visit, and the outcome of the visit. Ms. Backus stated that, in
addition to the Natural Heritage System, the Provincial and Regional Policy
requires the protection of the adjacent lands, the vegetation protection zone. She
displayed a chart that highlighted which features require Vegetation Protection
3
Planning and Development Committee Minutes February 24, 2020
zones, and by which legislation. Ms. Backus provided an overview as to why
cultural meadows are in the Natural Heritage System and provided examples of
cultural meadows. She presented the Committee with options for mapping and
which depend on an impending LPAT decision and further direction from this
Committee. Ms. Backus answered questions from the Committee.

Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments
Joe Shin, was present, in place of his wife Jeungsoon Shing, regarding
Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments. Mr. Shin advised the Committee
that he and his wife purchased two properties in Clarington as part of his
retirement plan. He explained that when he purchased the one property it was
zoned 70% Environmental Protection (EP) and now it is 99% EP. Mr. Shin noted
that he does not believe the correct maps have been used to determine the EP
zoned land. He advised the Committee that he has asked for a site specific
review. Mr. Shin explained that he does not understand the rationale for the EP
zoning or why Highway 418 was allowed to be built. He answered questions from
the Committee.
9.3 Scott Stevens, Regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report PSD-
008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments
Scott Stevens, was present regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report
PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments. Mr. Stevens explained that he is concerned with certain sections of
Report PSD-008-20. He noted that Section 1.2 outlines that the associated
policy framework is not more restrictive than the policies with respect to
agriculture and aggregates, and stated that he would like to know which policies
are being referenced. Mr. Stevens noted that Section 2.5 states that a second
letter was received from Ministry on April 12, 2017 stating that the Clarington
NHS had not gone far enough and needed to be expanded. He would like know
why there are conflicting letters. He explained that Section 3.6 states that staff
recently presented the Zone Clarington project to the Durham Chapter Appraisal
Institute of Canada members and would like to know when this took place. Mr.
Stevens stated that Section 3.9 explains that all requested site specific reviews
will be completed before a second draft of the zoning by-law is released. He
would like to know how long this will take. Mr. Stevens also noted that Section
12
Planning and Development Committee Minutes February 24, 2020
3.10 states that a detailed review (grid by grid) will be conducted of all mapping
to identify if refinements can be made to properties where a site specific review
has not been requested and he would like to know why a site visit needs to be
requested if this is going to be done anyway. He explained that
Recommendation 2 of the Report states that Planning Staff will continue to
consult with key stakeholders and local residents, but this is his third time
speaking to the Committee and he has not been contacted. Mr. Stevens advised
the Committee that there is an error in Recommendation 5 of the Report where is
mentions Section 4.8, since there is not a section 4.8. He concluded his
delegation by asking what decision Recommendation 7 of the report is
referencing. Mr. Stevens answered questions from the Committee.

PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments. Mr. Zeggers reviewed the letter received from the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing and stated that he believes there is a hidden
agenda. He noted that, at the October 22, 2019 Planning and Development
Committee meeting, Dale Leadbeater from SLR Consulting made a presentation
either to educate or intimidate. Mr. Zegers provided the Committee with an
example of the how the EP Zoning is not a transparent process and that the onus
is on each landowner to prove the features do not exist. He stated that the
Official Plan has been amended, as deemed necessary, before and can be done
so again. Mr. Zegers would like the Committee to support the motions brought
forward previously by Councillor Neal and Councillor Traill. He answered

9.6 Gord Robinson, Regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report PSD-
008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments
Gord Robinson, was present regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and
Report PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments. Mr. Robinson thanked staff for their presentation but would like a
presentation to be made to Rezoning Clarington group. He explained that the
letter received from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has caused
confusion. Mr. Robinson explained that he is not opposed to the Natural
Heritage System but is opposed to the Official Plan. He stated that residents did
not receive proper notification during the process. Mr. Robinson noted that staff
did not acknowledge that they exceeded EP requirements laid out by the
Province. He asked the Councillors if they were aware that the lands were
exceeded. Mr. Robinson mentioned that individually addresses letters must be
sent to all affected property owners, and the letters must be approved by
Council. He explained that, by not sending these letter, the Municipality is putting
the responsibility back on the land owners to fix the mistakes made by staff. Mr.
Robinson advised the Committee that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture feels
that any additional land needs to be ground truthed. He noted that
Recommendation six of Report PSD-008-20 fails to mentioned that the rural
portion of Zone Clarington is tabled, and would like to keep it tabled until an open
public meeting with residents. Mr. Robinson would like to know if the 90 and 30
metre buffer will be removed from the Official Plan. He explained that 13,300
acres will be removed from the EP zone as presented in the first draft of the
n
Planning and Development Committee Minutes February 24, 2020
zoning mapping, but would like to know the breakdown of the property types. Mr
Robinson stated that residents feel betrayed as they have not received proper
notification from Council or staff during the Official Plan process and rural land
owners feel the same. He explained that we cannot continue to put up barriers
that may affect future generations and want to continue traditions. Mr. Robinson
noted that this is not about politics, it is about their land, their families and their
futures. He answered questions from the Committee.

Resolution # PD-040-20

9.7 Bev Oda, Regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report PSD-008-20
Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments
Bev Oda, was present regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report
PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments. Ms. Oda explained that staff was asked to report back on the
additional lands included by the Municipality that were not required by the
Province to be identified as EP, but instead the Report contains
recommendations not asked for by Council and that it is confusing and difficult to
understand. She noted that, when you write a report as a professional or a
student, you are required to provide a bibliography, and there is no bibliography
in the Report. Ms. Oda stated that, in the 2017 letter, the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs stated that Clarington's Official Plan is "a wholesome deletions of much of
the Greenbelt Natural Heritage". She mentioned that the Greenbelt Plan allows
for a one time refinement of the Natural Heritage System, and that the intent of
the refinement is just a fine tuning of the system to make small changes not a
wholesome deletion. Ms. Oda noted that the Ministry stated that Clarington's
approach was environmental features based, not natural systems based and
therefore not supported by Ministry staff. She continued by explaining that staff
have continued with an environmental features based approach. Ms. Oda stated
that a more logical, efficient and cost effective way to proceed would be to
determine if there are updated data sets available that could be used, then
proceed with the grid by grid review. She stated that individually addressed
letters must be sent to all affected property owners, and the letters must be
approved by Council, indicate what has changed on the property, what is
permitted on the property, and what permits or reviews may be required to build
or change anything on the property. Ms. Oda asked the Committee to deny the
Reports' recommendations, provide proper public notice, and support the request
7
Planning and Development Committee Minutes February 24, 2020
to review the Official Plan mapping. She answered questions from the
Committee.
9.8 Stephen F. Shine, Regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report
PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments
Stephen F. Shine, was present regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and
Report PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments. Mr. Shine stated that he knew nothing about the Official Plan
process and did not receive notice of the Official Plan amendment until June,
2019. He explained that the Committee previously rejected a motion by
Councillor Neal to advise the affected property owners. Mr. Shine noted that this
is a misleading process and that it is not mandated by the Provincial Policy
Statement. He explained that this will affect the market value of properties. Mr.
Shine stated that, if the Committee does not get it right, they will find themselves
in another forum paying as much money as they think there going to avoid. He
refused to answer questions from the Committee.
9.9 Hugh Allin, Regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report PSD-008-
20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments
Hugh Allin advised the Municipal Clerk's Department, during the meeting, that he
would be unable to attend as a delegation.

Comments
Ron Worboy, was present regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report
PSD-008-20 Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Comments. Mr. Worboy stated that this process is confusing and chaotic. He
encouraged the Committee and planning staff to meet with Gord Robinson's
group and urged staff to work with the group. Mr. Worboy explained that the
quadrants be examined one at a time. He noted that a full analysis should be
done to review the properties. Mr. Worboy explained that we have to get it right,
and he stated that the current direction is not right. He would like the Municipality
to create more current mapping. Mr. Worboy reminded the Committee that there
are impacts to the decisions the Committee makes. He answered questions from
the Committee.
9.11 Gord Robinson, Communication Item 11.3 Regarding Support Role of
Conservation Authorities and 11.4 Regarding Quinte Conservation
Authority
Mr. Robinson advised the Committee that he had a letter from Gord and Kathy
Humphrey regarding Unfinished Business Item 15.1 and Report PSD-008-20
Zone Clarington, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Comments, and
provided it to the Deputy Clerk.
Planning and Development Committee Minutes February 24, 2020
Gord Robinson, was present regarding Communication Item 11.3 Regarding
Support Role of Conservation Authorities and 11.4 Regarding Quinte
Conservation Authority. Mr. Robinson noted that he supports the work on the
Conservation Authorities but believes the relationship with Municipalities can be
improved to make the relationship more transparent and accountable. He stated
that this is important when providing services under a memorandum of
understanding. Mr. Robinson explained that the Ministry of Environment is
currently reviewing the Conservation Authorities Act and associated
regulations. He recommends that the Committee support this review. Mr.
Robinson outlined the purpose of the review. He stated that he supports the
request for agricultural representative on Conservation Authority Boards. Mr.
Robinson explained that farmers protect the environment and Conservation
Authorities should be more accountable and transparent. He stated that
Conservation Authorities should be removed from land use planning approvals
and only provide comments or advice. Mr. Robinson answered questions from
the Committee.

Moved by Mayor Foster
Seconded by Councillor Hooper
That Council deny the request to file a minor variance application within the two-
year period of an applicant -initiated zoning by-law amendment for the subject
lands based on the following reasons:
1. The request is not for a technical or housekeeping issue;

garage was to ensure the development respects and reinforces the
existing building types of nearby properties in terms of scale and built
form, in accordance with Section 5.4.1 of the Clarington Official Plan; and
3. The request undermines Council's original intent when it passed the
zoning bylaw amendment.

animal health, safety, and welfare are promoted and maintained; and

Act strikes a balance to protect farms while also recognizing a citizen' s
