THAT Report PD-92-98 be received ; 2. THAT the application to amend the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, of the former Town of Newcastle, as amended, submitted by the Trull's Road Free Methodist Church, be referred back to Staff for further processing and preparation of a subsequent report pending receipt of all outstanding comments; and, 3. THAT the Durham Region Planning Department, and all interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised of Council's decision. 1. APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Trull's Road Free Methodist Church 1.2 Rezoning: from "Agricultural (A)" to an appropriate zone to permit the expansion of an existing place of worship onto an abutting property in the applicant's ownership. 1.3 Area: 1.6 ha (4.0 acres) 2. LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands are located on Trulls Road, south of Highway No. 2, more specifically at 2283 and 2301 Trulls Road, in Courtice (Attachment No. 1). 6Gi REPORT NO.: PD-92-98 PAGE 2 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The original application for rezoning was received on May 29, 1989. Review and discussion of this application revealed that there were two phases of the application. Phase 1 would be an extension of the existing church, solely on the lot it was located on and Phase 2 which would entail the expansion of the church onto the abutting parcel to the south which is also in their ownership. Phase 1 was successfully completed by means of obtaining a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment and entering into a site plan agreement with the Municipality. This agreement was registered November 6, 1989. By correspondence, the applicant has kept this file alive until they were ready to continue with Phase 2. In June of 1998 the Municipality received a letter from the applicant confirming they were ready to begin the rezoning and site plan agreement process required for Phase 2. New drawings for the proposal were submitted in late July, 1998 (Attachment No. 2). 4. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 Existing Uses: Existing church located at 2301 Trulls Road Existing dwelling located at 2283 Trulls Road 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East - vacant agricultural lands North - residential (Plan of Subdivision 40M1902) South - residential West - residential 5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 Within the 1991 Durham Region Official Plan, the subject property is designated "Living Area". Lands designated as such shall be used predominantly for housing 602 REPORT NO.: PD-92-98 PAGE 3 purposes and may also permit certain public and recreational uses which are compatible with their surroundings. The application would appear to conform. 5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Urban Residential". The predominant use of lands within this designation shall be for housing purposes. Other uses may be permitted, including community facilities, which includes a place of worship. Community facilities are encouraged to locate in urban areas to enable easy accessibility by the majority of the population and, where possible, to utilize full municipal services. The application would appear to conform. 6. ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS 6.1 The current zoning of the subject property is "Agricultural (A)". This zoning does not reflect the designation in the new Official Plan, and as such would only permit an existing place of worship. Expansion onto the abutting lot to the south, in the ownership of the Trull's Road Free Methodist Church, would require a zoning amendment. 7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 7.1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982, and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance. 8. AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. The Clarington Community Planning Branch noted the Avondale Neighbourhood Design Plan currently shows that an arterial road will intersect along the south property boundary of the church 6C~3 4 REPORT NO.: PD-92-98 PAGE4 lots. It would appear a sight triangle will be required from the church property to facilitate this intersection (Attachment No. 3). 8.2 Comments remain outstanding from the Clarington Public Works Department - Engineering, Building and Parks, Clarington Fire Department, Ontario Hydro, the Regional Planning Department and the Regional Works Department. 9. STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 This is the second Public Meeting held for the rezoning of this parcel. The first Public Meeting was held October 23, 1989. Due to the length of time elapsed since that meeting and the extensive development that has occurred from Sandringham to the north side of the church property in recent years, (18T-90010 and 18T-95014 with 394 dwelling units approved) it was Staff's opinion that a second Public Meeting was required to satisfy the requirements of the Planning Act. 9.2 The proposed zoning amendment to permit the expansion of an existing church onto an abutting property located to the south is consistent with the policies of the Clarington Official Plan. The owner will be required to complete a site plan agreement with the Municipality prior to development. This agreement will provide details for servicing, grading and drainage, landscaping etc. 10. CONCLUSION 10.1 The purpose of this report is to facilitate the Public Meeting as required by the Planning Act, to provide Committee and Council with some background on the application submitted. It is recommended the application be referred back to Staff for further processing and subsequent report upon receipt of all outstanding comments. 6~4 REPORT NO.: PD-92-98 PAGE 5 Respectfully submitted, Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.
