BACKGROUND 3.1 The subject rezoning and site plan application was received by the Municipality of Clarington Planning and Development . Department on July 20, 1993. On September 2, 1993, correspondence from Regional Planning Staff was received advising of an application for Plan of Condominium (18CDM- 93005). On August 26, 1993, correspondence from the agent was received requesting to revise the number of units from 84 to 85. Although, public notice had been provided at that date, the change was considered minor as it did not have an impact on the building envelope or height of the development. 3.2 The residential development is proposed to front on the future extension of Longworth Ave, at the south limits of the property. However, the developer is not proposing to construct Longworth at this time, but rather dedicate half of the required future road allowance. The four (4) 3-storey buildings will contain a minimum of 12 units to a maximum of 25 units. All units are proposed to have individual entrances at grade and a balcony at the level of the unit. In addition, prior to submitting the application, the proponent, with the assistance of C.L.O.C.A. and Planning Staff identified the top-of-bank associated with the watercourse. This area is clearly identified in the proposal and is not being impacted, with the exception of an internal driveway connection crossing the creek. 4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The existing site is currently vacant with a single family dwelling having been recently removed. . . .3 I, iJ REPORT NO.: PD-124-93 PAGE 3 4.2 Surrounding land uses are as follows: South: vacant agricultural land and the C.P.R. line. East: vacant land and the Soper Creek. North: vacant lands subject to draft approved development applications and residential development associated with 40M-1714 and 40M-1723. West: vacant lands subject to development applications. 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 Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated as "Residential" within the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. within the Council approved 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan the subject lands are designated "Living Area". The policies in both documents allow for a variety of housing types and styles to be provided for. The application would appear to conform. 6.2 within the former Town of. Newcastle Official Plan the subject lands are located in neighbourhood "2C" of the Bowmanville Urban Area. The lands appear to be designated "Medium" density residential with "Hazard Land" indication on areas abutting the watercourse and the requirement of a collector road. The medium density designation permits development to achieve a density range between 30 and 55 units per net residential hectare. The applicant is proposing a density of 43 units per net ha. ...4 J[J5 REPORT NO.: PD-124-93 PAGE 4 The Hazard Land indication shall be primarily for the preservation and conservation of the natural land and/or environment. The extent and exact location of the Hazard Lands shall be identified in the zoning by-law in accordance with detailed floodline, soil and contour mapping in consultation with C.L.O.C.A. The land proposed for development does not encroach into the hazard land which is currently zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)". The subject zoning by-law amendment application does not propose to rezone any part of the "EP" lands, however, should this application be approved the zone schedule may be adjusted to more accurately reflect the hazard land area as approved by the Conservation Authority. 7 ZONING 7.1 The current zoning on the subject property is "Agricultural Exception (A-9)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)". Said zones would not permit the development of said proposal, hence the application for rezoning. 8 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 In accordance with departmental procedure the subject application was circulated to a number of agencies and departments for comment. As of the writing of this report, comments remain outstanding from the majority of the circulated agencies. 8.2 Comments from the Fire Department advised that the temporary access is acceptable subject to conditions. spatial separation between buildings and fire access.must conform with the ontario Building Code.

Their analysis concluded that archaeological assessment of the lands south of the watercourse be carried out prior to any further disturbance of the lands. The assessment must be undertaken by a consultant licensed pursuant to the ontario Heritage Act. 9 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The applicant is proposing to develop the subject lands for a total of 85 stacked townhouse units.
