PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 3.1 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. 3.2 As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. However, the Planning and Development ....3 1;;1 I:) 1 0 REPORT NO. PD-156-92 PAGE 3 Department has received numerous telephone inquiries from area residents who requested more detailed information regarding the proposal. 4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4.1 within the existing Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property would appear to be designated Residential, while the recommended Regional Official Plan appears to designate the subject property as a Living Area. As the primary use of land so designated is intended to be for residential purposes, the application would appear to conform to both the existing and the recommended Regional Official Plans. 4.2 within the Courtice Major Urban Area, the Town of Newcastle Official Plan establishes a maximum of 15 units per net residential hectare for Low Density Residential development, a maximum of 40 units per net residential hectare for Medium Density Residential development and a maximum of 80 units per net residential hectare for High Density Residential development. The applicant is proposing to develop the 1.337 hectare (3.3 acre) parcel at an overall density of 65.09 units per net residential hectare which falls within the High Density range as defined by the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The Neighbourhood Development Plan for Court ice South does not identify specific areas for medium and high density development in order to provide greater flexibility in subdivision design. High density residential development is intended to be located adjacent to existing medium density residential uses and fronting on arterial roads at the periphery of residential neighbourhoods. 4.3 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan also established a target population of 4300 for the "2B" Neighbourhood. The proposed ....4 C.'I ',' .J REPORT NO. PD-156-92 PAGE 4 plan of subdivision must be reviewed within the context of the target population. staff have already determined that the proposed application would serve to exceed the target population for the "2B" Neighbourhood and therefore, the applicant has applied to adjust the target population from 4300 persons to 4550 persons in'order to permit the proposal. 5 . ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5.1 within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive zoning By-law 84- 63, the subj ect property is zoned in part HOlding-Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1) and in part Urban Residential Type One (R1). The current zone categories would permit the development of the subject lands with single and two-family dwellings. As the applicant is proposing to develop street townhouses and apartments, the applicant has applied to appropriately amend the zoning by-law. 6.
