PD-21-93 PAGE 2, 1.4 Rezoning: from in part "Agricultural (A) and in part "Holding - Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1)" to an appropriate zone or zones in order to implement the above noted development. 1.5 Area: 3.297 hectares (8.14 acres) 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 In June of 1989, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department was advised by the Region of Durham of a proposed plan of subdivision located in Part Lot 31, Concession 2, in the former Township of Darlington. 2.2 In August of 1989, the applicant applied with the municipality to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84- 63 in order to implement the proposed plan of subdivision. In addition, the applicant was informed by the Region that a portion of the subject lands were outside of the urban area and that an Official Plan Amendment would be required. The applicant subsequently fi-led the application and the Region-- circulated Official Plan Amendment application OPA 89-067/D/N to the Town. 2.3 The Town has recently received correspondence from the Region advising that the subject lands are now considered to be in the urban area and therefore, can be considered to be in conformity with the 1976 and the 1991 Regional Official Plans. Therefore, the Official Plan Amendment application is no longer required. 2.4 A Public Meeting with respect to the proposed plan of subdivision and the proposed zoning amendment was held on ....3 - ~iJ~ REPORT NO. PD-21-93 PAGE 3 January 8, 1990 at which time both the applicant and his agent addressed the General Purpose and Administration Committee. Although no area resident addressed the Committee at the previous Public Meeting, Staff were of the opinion that it would be prudent to hold a second Public Meeting given the substantial changes to the proposal and the amount of time which has lapsed from the original Public Meeting. 2.5 The subject property is a 3.297 hectare (8.14 .acre) parcel located on the west side of Trull's Road, south of Yorkville Drive but is more formally described as Part Lot 31, Concession 2 in the former Township of Darlington. 3. 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 Department did receive a counter inquire from an area resident requesting more detailed information regarding the proposal. In addition, Staff have met with the agent of an abutting property owner. 4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4.1 Within the 1976 Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated as a Residential Area, while the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject property as a Living Area. The primary use of lands so designated shall be for residential purposes. Therefore, the application ....4 -- I~ f ~ 7. 'J REPORT NO. PD-21-93 PAGE 4, would appear to conform with the 1976 and 1991 Durham Regional Official Plans. 4.2 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan establishes a target population of 4300 for the "2B" Neighbourhood. The proposed plan of subdivision has been reviewed within the context of the target population. Staff have estimated that the "2B" Neighbourhood has a total area of approximately 117 hectares (289.1 acres). Therefore, it can be determined that the "2B Neighbourhood can develop at approximately 12.3 units per gross residential hectare. The proposed draft plan of subdivision has a gross area of 2.397 hectares (8.14 acres) and a total of 57 units which equates to a density of 17.28 units per gross residential hectare. Although, the density exceeds the Neighbourhood average, staff note that the existing development in the "2B Neighbourhood has been developed at a much lower density than the Neighbourhood average. Therefore, the proposed higher density of the proposed subdivision is still within the target population. 5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5.1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84- 63, the subject property is zoned in part Agricultural (A) and in part Holding - Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1). As the applicant is proposing to develop a portion of the lands with street townhouses, the applicant has applied to amend the zoning by-law. 6. AGENCY COMMENTS 6.1. The proposed plan of subdivision was circulated to various agencies by the Durham Regional Planning Department. ....5 j(,~~ REPORT NO. PD-21-93 PAGE 5 Concurrently, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department undertook a circulation of the proposed zoning by- law amendment. The following provides a brief synopsis of the comments received to date. 6.2 The Community Services Department has advised that they have no objection to the proposal subject to the parkland dedication requirement being accepted as cash-in-lieu on the basis of 1 hectare per 300 dwelling units, with the funds realized being credited to the Parks Reserve Account. 6.3 The balance of the circulated agencies which provided comments were the Town of Newcastle Fire Department and the Regional Planning Department. Neither of these agencies provided objectionable comments with respect to the subject application. The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department, Regional Works Department, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and Ministry of Natural Resources have all yet to respond to the circulation. 7. STAFF COMMENTS 7.1 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements of the Planning Act with respect to a Public Meeting and in consideration of the outstanding comments, it would be in order to have the application referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report. ....6 ~J REPORT NO.
