Residential uses are intended to be the predominant use of property so designated and therefore the application appears to conform with 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 ....3 V') 1 7 REPORT NO.

The applicant is proposing to develop the .19 hectare (.47 acre) parcel at an overall density of 26.31 units per net residential hectare which falls within the medium density range as defined by the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The Neighbourhood Development Plan for Courtice West does not identify specific areas for medium density development in order to permit greater flexibility in subdivision design. Medium density residential development is intended to be located adjacent to low density residential development, in close proximity to parks and schools and at the periphery of the neighbourhood. 4.3 The proposal appears to satisfy these criteria and the application can, therefore, be considered to be in conformity with the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. 5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5.1 within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84- 63, as amended, the subject property is zoned "Agricultural (A)" which requires a minimum of 100 metres of frontage and 40 hectares of lot area for newly created lots. Therefore, the applicant has applied to amend the zoning by-law in order to facilitate the creation of five (5) single family dwelling lots through the consent process. 6 AGENCY COMMENTS 6.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies.
