LOCATION 2.1 The subject property incorporates the rear portion of the lands municipally known as 175 Liberty Street North. The subject property is legally described as being within Part Lot 10, Concession 2, former Town of Bowmanville. The site is more generally described as being east of Liberty Street, south of the Canadian Pacific Rail line and northwest of Apple Blossom Boulevard. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The subject rezoning application was received by the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department on October 29, 1992. In November, Regional Planning Staff circulated and requested comments for the related plan of subdivision application 18T-92022. 3.2 On November 4, 1992, Durham Region Land Division Committee heard, and approved, an application to sever the applicants residence and surrounding lands from the lands subject to the rA.zonng andpropo~ecLplanof subdivision application[ - Staff provided conditions of approval for said application, which must be fulfilled prior to issuance of a clearance letter. 3.3 The proposed rezoning and plan of subdivision application represent an infilling situation. The surrounding lands to the south, east and north are contained in a subdivision development undertaken by Schickedanz Bros. Ltd. 4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The lands subject to the rezoning application are currently vacant. ...3 ~ 13 REPORT NO.: PD-2-93 PAGE 3 4.2 Surrounding land uses are as follows: South: residential development on Liberty Street and in the new subdivision. East: new residential development. North: park block associated with the new residential development and the Canadian Pacific Rail line. West: additional lands owned by the applicant including a residence, Liberty Street and residential on the west side of Liberty Street. 5 PUBLIC MEETING AND RESPONSE 5.1 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 and tenant within the 120 metre prescribed distance. As of the writing of this report no letters of objection or concern with regards to the applications have been received. 6 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6.1 Within the existing 1976 Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated "Residential" within the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. The policies encourage a variety of housing styles, types and tenure. The application would appear to conform. Within the Council approved 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan the subject lands are designated "Living Area" within the Bowmanville Urban Area. The Living Area policies are similar in nature to those of the Residential designation in the 1976 Official Plan. The application would appear to conform. 6.2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan the subject ...4 -~ ~ REPORT NO.: PD-2-93 PAGE 4 property is designated "Low Density Residential" within neighbourhood "1D" of the Bowmanville Urban Area. The low density residential designation allows developments up to a maximum of 30 units per net residential hectare and in accordance with the neighbourhood population target, 5000 people. The application proposes a density of 19.7 units per net ha. As well, staff have reviewed the cumulative impact of this development on the neighbourhood population target in consideration of existing units, approved developments and other vacant lands, and find that it conforms. 7 ZONING 7.1 The current zoning on the subject property is "Agricultural (A)", residential developments of this nature would not be permitted in this zone, hence the rezoning application. 8 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 In accordance with departmental procedure the subject rezoningt and proposed plan of subdivision application were circulated to a number of agencies and departments for comment. At the time of writing said report responses remain outstanding from the majority of agencies including; Newcastle Public Works Department, Newcastle Hydro Electric Commission, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, the Public and Separate School Boards, Regional Planning and Works Departments, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Canadian Pacific Railway. 8.2 The Town of Newcastle Fire Department advised they have no objection to the application while the Community Services Department commented that they have no objection to the application subject to 5% park land dedication being provided as cash-in-lieu of land. •••5 REPORT NO.: PD-2-93 ~ PAGE 5 8.3 The Ministry of Culture and Communications and GO Transit were both circulated by Regional Planning. Both agencies advised they have no objection to further processing of the subdivision application. 9 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 As noted previously the application is essentially infilling between existing residences on Liberty Street and the new residential development to the south and east. The lands to the south and east being developed through 10M-830 have allowed road connections to the subject lands via Tilley Road and Block 143 to the south. ~9.2 The applicant has proposed to develop the lands as an extension of Tilley Road in the form of a cul-de-sac. This does not take advantage of Block 143 in 10M-829 to the south, which if utilized would allow for a crescent shaped street. Furthermore following a recent snow storm, a member of Council advised the Director of Planning that cul-de-sacs should not be allowed in future subdivision proposals due to snow storage and equipment movement problems. Staff will discuss this matter further with the applicant and Public Works Staff. 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 and for Staff to indicate issues or area of concern regarding the subject application. It is recommended the application be referred back to Staff for further processing and subsequent report upon receipt of all outstanding comments and possible revisions. ...6 ~ REPORT NO.: PD-2-93 PAGE 6 Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation to the Committee J Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P.
