BACKGROUND 2.1 In December of 1992, the applicant filed applications with the municipality to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan and the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit this proposal. 2.2 The subject property is a .26 hectare (.65 acre) parcel located at the south-west corner of the intersection of Highway # 2 and Regional Road # 57, but is more formally described as Part of Lot 15, Concession 1, 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 A Public Meeting was held on Monday, February 15, 1993 at which time a representative of the westerly abutting property owner addressed the Committee. The westerly abutting property is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Branch President of the Church expressed concerns regarding access, traffic, garbage and the land use conflict which would be created by the introduction of a restaurant. 4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4.1 The subject property is designated "Residential" in the 1976 Durham Plan. Under this designation, limited retail and personal service uses may be permitted as an exception subject to inclusion in the local official plan and/or zoning by-law. The proposal appears to conform particularly due to the fact that Council on June 14, 1993, has made such an exception. ....3 !) (J 9' ....~..~ L REPORT NO. PD-98-93 PAGE 3 Verbal comments from the Regional Commissioner of Planning indicated that the proposal conforms to the 1976 Durham Plan and that a zoning by-law can be passed under this Plan. 5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5.1 within the Town of Newcastle comprehensive Zoning By-law 84- 63, the subject property is zoned AgriCUlture (A) . Agricultural and agriculturally related uses are intended to be the predominant use of land so zoned. As the applicant intends to develop the property with a 273.16 m2 freestanding restaurant with a drive-through facility, the applicant has applied to appropriately amend the zoning by-law. 6. AGENCY COMMENTS 6.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. The following provides a brief synopsis of the comments received. 6.2 The Community services Department has advised that no objections to the proposal subject to the providing 2% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication funds realized being credited to the Parks Reserve they have applicant wi th the Account. 6.3 The Public Works Department has advised that they have no objection to the zoning amendment application but conclude that site plan approval cannot proceed until the applicant has satisfied the following: a) That the applicant's engineer prepares a Lot Grading and Drainage Plan that details the conveyance of storm drainage, both major and minor systems from this site. In addition, this Lot Grading and Drainage Plan should specify the location of the storm connection and to which existing storm sewer system the applicant proposes to connect. It is not clear from the plan provided where storm drainage is being conveyed; ....4 ~)l 0 REPORT NO. PD-98-93 PAGE 4 b) That the applicant's engineer prepares a Servicing Report;. that details the locations of all storm sanitary, wat~r distribution services, roads, sidewalks and walkways; 6.4 The Regional Works Department has advised that they have no objection to the application but note that access to Regional Road # 57 will be a restricted entrance allowing right-in and right-out as well as left-in movements from Martin Road. 6.5 The Ministry of Transportation has provided the following comments: a) The Highway 2 - Eastbound to Regional Road 57 -Southbound channelization lane should be removed and replaced with a right turn lane. The cost of these changes will be the developer's responsibility. b) The proposed entrance to the development from Highway 2 should be relocated to the west end of the property to facilitate the above-noted change. This entrance will be a right-injright-out entrance only. c) The centre median on Highway 2 will have to be extended to prohibit left turn movement into the site from Highway 2. The extension of the centre median will be at the developers expense. 6.6 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority notes that the subject lands are within the study area of the Wests ide Creek Master Drainage Plan and that it will be necessary to demonstrate how site drainage conforms to the requirements of the study. However, the Authority has no objection to the proposal. 6.7 The Ministry of Natural Resources advises that Wests ide Creek has been identified as supporting a warm water fisheries resource and a provincially significant wetland. The Ministry is therefore concerned with storm water management techniques, erosion control measures and sedimentation control measures. However, the Ministry has no objection to the proposal subject to the following: ....5 \ I REPORT NO. PD-98-93 PAGE 5 a) That an erosion and sediment control plan for the development site be prepared by and stamped by a registered professional engineer and be submitted to the District Manager, Ministry of Natural Resources, Maple for their records. The plan must outline all actions to be taken to prevent an increase in the concentration of suspended solids in any water body as a result of on site or other related works. Any increase in concentration of suspended solids or sediment loading may be in violation of the Canada Fisheries Act. If warranted, charges under this act may be applied to the proponent and their agents. b) That prior to site plan approval for this site, the Ministry of Natural Resources must review and approve preliminary storm water management/water quality control plans to ensure adequate consideration has been given to this concern and adequate land has been set aside for these purposes. . 6.8 The balance of the circulated agencies which provided comments were the Town of Newcastle Fire Department, Regional Health Department and Canadian Pacific Railways. None of the aforementioned agencies have provided objectionable comments. 7. STAFF COMMENTS 7.1 The applicant is intending to amend the zoning by-law in order to permit the development of the subject lands with a 273.16 m2 freestanding restaurant with a drive-through facility. 7.2 The circulation process undertaken by the Planning and Development Department has revealed some issues which are expanded upon in the following. The southwest corner of Regional Road 57 and Highway 2 will be a prominent intersection in Bowmanville in future years. In this regard, issues such as building height, building mass, architectural treatment and landscaping will need to be examined in detail to ensure that the structure maintains the character and prominence of the surrounding area. ....6 REPORT NO. PD-98-93 PAGE 6 7.3 Several agencies have indicated various requirements pertaining to the development of the site. These requirements will be incorporated in the subsequent site plan approval process. 7.4 Staff note that the amending by-law, if approved, will place the subject property in a special exception zone which would permit only a restaurant, as per Council's direction. Moreover, Staff recommend a "Holding (H)" symbol be imposed and not be removed until the applicant enters into a site plan agreement with the municipality. A rezoning application to remove the holding symbol will be required at a later date.
