Report PSD-010-20
Report Overview
The purpose of this report is to request that Council declare surplus the Port Darlington
Road Village Commercial lands in order to prepare for their disposal. The subject lands
have not been identified for any municipal needs, and it is appropriate to undertake
arrangements to prepare for the marketing and sale of the lands. In order to dispose of
municipally owned lands, they must be declared surplus by Council.
1. Background
1.1 The subject lands are currently comprised of separate parcels located on the north side
of Port Darlington Road, directly across from Port Darlington Waterfront Park/East
Beach, as shown in Figure 1. The properties are hereafter referred to as the "Port
Darlington Village Commercial lands" or "subject lands".

1.2 The parcels were acquired over a number of years from various owners. Two of the
properties were the subject of expropriations with one being settled and the second
being the subject of a hearing. There are no outstanding requirements from the
settlements.
1.3 The Port Darlington Village Commercial lands property details relating to area and
frontage are summarized in Attachment 1. The lands abut the Port Darlington Water
Treatment Plant to the north, low density residential to the east, and municipal
waterfront to the south and west. Previous uses included residential and agriculture.
1.4 The subject lands are currently zoned "Residential Shoreline (RS)" by Zoning By-law
84-63. The lands are designated Waterfront Greenway in the Clarington Official Plan,
2018 and Village Commercial in the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan.
1.5 The existing "Residential Shoreline (RS)" zoning permits single detached and seasonal
residential dwellings. These uses do not align with the Official Plan and Secondary Plan
designations. Planning Services staff recommends rezoning the subject lands to provide
for the village commercial uses envisioned by the Port Darlington Neighbourhood
Secondary Plan.
1.6 Water and sanitary sewer infrastructure exists in the area surrounding the subject lands.
A sanitary sewer terminates at the intersection of East Beach Road and Port Darlington
Road, however topographical constraints may limit the extent to which this infrastructure
may be extended further west. Such servicing considerations will be addressed as part
of the disposal process for the subject lands.
1.7 Potential development concepts, servicing and related matters will be considered as
part of any marketing materials for the subject lands, and subsequently included in any
purchase and sale agreement prior to ratification by Council.
1.8 By-law 2011-11, being a by-law to establish procedures governing the sale of real
property, states that from time to time Council may propose sale of land providing that:
• the land is declared surplus;
at least one (1) appraisal or letter of opinion of fair market value of the land to be
sold is obtained from a qualified appraiser; and
• notice is given to the public by publication or an advertisement prior to the date of
the Council meeting at which the sale of the land is being considered and/or posting
of such notice on the Municipality's website.

2. Next Steps
2.1 Planning Services staff recommends that the lands be rezoned to provide for the village
commercial uses envisioned by the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan.
Permitted uses could include small-scale personal service, retail, restaurants, offices,
and specialty shops, as well as residential that is incidental to the main uses. Pre -
zoning the lands would assist the Municipality with maximizing its return.
2.2 Should Council adopt the recommendations of this report to declare the lands surplus,
Planning Services staff will proceed to retain the expertise to prepare for the sale of the
lands.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Acting Director of Engineering Services and
Municipal Solicitor who concur with the recommendations.
4. Conclusion
The Port Darlington Village Commercial lands are not required for municipal purposes.
The development of the subject lands represents an opportunity to introduce small-
scale personal and commercial services in close proximity to the East Beach and Port
Darlington Park to align with the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan vision.
It is respectfully recommended that Council declares the Port Darlington Village
Commercial lands as surplus and authorizes staff to undertake the necessary process
to prepare for the marketing and disposal of such lands, including the retention of
planning consulting services as per the Recommendations herein.
