3. BACKGROUND
3.1 In March of 1995, 708545 Ontario Limited applied with the Region of Durham for
the approval of a plan of subdivision. The applicant also applied with the
Municipality of Clarington Planning and Development Department in order to
amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 to implement the proposed plan of
subdivision. In the time which has lapsed since the application was received, the
Municipality of Clarington Planning and Development Department finalized the
Official Plan review process and initiated the Neighbourhood Design Plan process
for the Emily Stowe Neighbourhood.
4. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
4.1 A Public Notice sign was installed at three (3) separate locations on the subject
lands. As a result of the public notification process, the Planning and Development
Department has not received any written submissions with respect to the proposal.
5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 Within the 1991 Regional Official Plan, the subject lands are designated as a Living
628
REPORT NO.: PD-61-98
PAGE 3
Area. Lands so designated are intended to be used for urban residential uses. The
application appears to conform with the provisions of the Durham Regional Official
Plan.
5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated Urban
Residential with an associated Medium Density symbol.
5.3 The Clarington Official Plan has established a target of 2300 residential units for the
Emily Stowe neighbourhood. The 241 units proposed in the current application is
in keeping with the target as contained in the Clarington Official Plan. As a result,
the application appears to conform with the intent of the Clarington Official Plan.
6. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 of the former Town of Newcastle, the
lands subject to the current application are zoned in part "Agricultural (A)" and in
part "Holding Urban Residential Type One ((H) R1)".
6.2 The portion of the property zoned "Holding -Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1)"
corresponds to the extension of Glenabbey Drive and Oke Road towards
Prestonvale Road. The balance of the site is currently zoned Agricultural (A) which
allows for farm and farm related uses. These zones do not reflect the development
of the lands as proposed by the applicant and hence the application proposes to
amend the zoning to implement the proposed plan of subdivision.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The proposed plan of subdivision was circulated for comments by the Regional
Municipality of Durham. Currently, the proposed zoning amendment application
has been circulated in order to obtain comments from other departments and
agencies. The following provides a brief summary of the comments received to
date.

REPORT NO.: PD-61-98

7.2 Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation
The Ministry has noted that the development of this site has a high potential for
causing impacts to cultural heritage resources. Although the Ministry did not object
to the proposal, the Ministry did recommend that the standard condition regarding
cultural heritage resources be imposed upon the application.
7.3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation
The Authority reviewed the proposed plan of subdivision, the associated storm
water management facilities and the related engineering reports commissioned by
the applicant. The Authority offered no objection to the proposal but did include
several conditions of draft approval related to the detailed design of the storm water
facilities.
7.4 Northumberland and Clarington Public School Board
The Public School Board has reviewed the proposal and noted that the development
will yield approximately 100 students at the Courtice South Public School which is
currently over capacity with nine (9) portables on site. The Board offered no
objection to the proposal but noted that it may be necessary to rely on the condition
of draft approval which stages development with the availability of school
accommodation.
7.5 Departments/Agencies with no objections
Bell Canada, Ontario Hydro, the Ministry of the Environment, Canada Post and the
Regional Works Department all offered no objection to the proposal but did include
standard conditions of draft approval regarding issues such as community
mailboxes, the provision of electrical power supply and the provision of municipal
services. All of these conditions would be implemented through either the
municipal subdivision agreement or the regional servicing agreement should the
subdivision receive draft approval.

8. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 The lands subject to the current application are located in the Emily Stowe
Neighbourhood. In accordance with Section 9.5.2 of the Clarington Official Plan, a
Neighbourhood Design Plan has been prepared for the Neighbourhood.
8.2 A Public Open House was held on Wednesday April 15, 1998 at the Emily Stowe
Public School. The Open House was attended by approximately 50 residents and
staff received three (3) written submissions with respect to the Design Plan.
Although the Neighbourhood Design Plan has not been approved as of the writing
of this report, the majority of the issues have been resolved and it has progressed to
the point that the Public Meeting can now be held with respect to the related plan
of subdivision.
8.3 As the purpose of this report is to provide a status of the application for the Public
Meeting and in consideration of the outstanding comments, it would be in order to
have the applications referred back to staff for further processing.
