BACKGROUND 2.1 On October 9, 1998, the Planning and Development Department received an application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 and an application for site plan approval to permit a woodworking operation housed in a separate building. 2.2 The area subject to the proposal is located south of Concession Road 4 and east of Liberty Street. The municipal street address is 2681 Concession Road 4, Darlington. The more formal location description is Part Lot 10, Concession 3, Former Township of Darlington (see Attachment No. 1). 3.

OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 5.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated as Major Open Space. The application conforms. 5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject property is designated as Green Space. According to the policies for this designation, the application conforms. 6. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 6.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, of the former Town of Newcastle, the subject property is zoned "Agricultural (A)". 7. AGENCY COMMENTS 7.1 The rezoning application was circulated to various agencies and other departments by the Planning and Development Department. The Regional Health Department and Ontario Hydro had no objections. Other comments received to date are as follows. 7.2 The Clarington Fire Department noted that they were unable to determine the location of the proposed building's fire access route. The applicant has had some discussions regarding the matter with the Fire Department. For this route the applicant is considering two options. The preferred short term option is to have a route that utilizes the driveway that is immediately west of the subject property. This driveway serves the Regional Equalizing Reservoir that is no longer operational. Staff have contacted the Regional Works Department and presented the proposal. If negotiations between the applicant and the Regional Works Department are unsuccessful then the applicant will provide the fire access route on the east side of the property. The applicant may locate the fire access route on the east side of the property after several years even if the equalizing reservoir route can be obtained. The applicant has stated that he cannot provide the fire access route on the west side of the property because of the location of the septic the bed. ~1~~ , REPORT PD-134-98 PAGE 4 7.3 The Clarington Public Works Department, Engineering Division noted they had no objection to the proposal as long as no existing drainage patterns are altered or adversely affected as a result of construction of the accessory building. 7.4 The Clarington Public Works Department, Building Division offered the following comments. The proposed building will be classified as Group F Division 2 Industrial occupancy. One (1) washroom must be provided in the building and Health Department approval will be required for additions to the septic system. If the building is more than one storey, a 45 minute fire resistance rating is required for the floors. Additionally, an exit from the 2"a floor must be separated by a 45 minute fire separation and the exit must lead directly from the 2"d floor to the exterior. It was also noted that the Fire Department should be consulted about the provision of a fire access route to the building. 7.5 The Regional Planning Department stated the proposal may be considered as an ancillary use to the existing residential use as long as the zoning by-law is structured to ensure: • that the principal use of the site remains residential by limiting the size and scale of the proposed ancillary use, buildings, signage and machinery/ equipment used in the operation; and • that the proposed home industry is compatible with the surrounding land uses. No provincial interests appear to be affected by this proposal and subject to the foregoing the proposed amendment is acceptable within the context of the Regional Official Plan. 7.6 Comments remain outstanding from the Regional Works Department. 8. STAFF COMMENTS 8.1 As the purpose of this report is to give the status of the application for the public meeting, it is appropriate to have the application referred back to Staff for further processing. _ b~~:w REPORT PD-134-98 PAGE 5 Respectfully submitted, n ~~ ~~.
