4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy, livable
and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of housing types
and development patterns. Planning authorities are encouraged to promote opportunities
for intensification and redevelopment in a compact form where it can be accommodated
considering the availability of suitable existing infrastructure.
The proposal conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement.
Growth Plan
4.2 The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing
population growth to settlement areas, such as the Newcastle Urban Area. Municipalities
are encouraged to create complete communities including offering a mix of housing
options.
4.3 The subject lands are within the built-up area and will contribute to the Municipality's
target of achieving a minimum of 32% of all new residential units annually within the built-
up area.
The proposal conforms to the Provincial Growth Plan.
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Areas. Living Areas
permit the development of communities that incorporate the widest possible variety of
housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various
socio-economic factors. Higher densities, through intensification and redeveloping
existing areas, particularly along arterial roads is encouraged.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-019-20
Page 6
5.2 The Durham Region Official Plan designates Mill Street South as a Type B Arterial Road.
The proposal conforms with the Durham Region Official Plan.
Clarington Official Plan
5.3 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands Urban Residential. The Urban
Residential designation is predominately intended for housing purposes. A variety of
densities, tenure and housing types are encouraged. The lands are within the Built
Boundary. The proposal would contribute towards Clarington's target of 32% of all new
residential units being developed within the Built Boundary.
5.4 The subject lands are located at the edge of a neighbourhood adjacent to an arterial road
and requires a minimum density of 19 units per hectare. Multiple ground related dwelling
types are encouraged in urban areas, including townhouses with a maximum of three
storeys, adjacent to arterial roads.
5.5 New development and redevelopment in existing neighbourhoods must be designed to
respect and not negatively impact the physical character of the established
neighbourhood.
5.6 The Clarington Official Plan designates Mill Street South a Type B Arterial Road. The
Official Plan requires a minimum density of 19 units per hectare and permits townhouses
of up to three storeys at edges of neighbourhoods adjacent to arterial roads. The
proposed development will have a density of 39 units per hectare.
The proposal conforms to the Clarington Official Plan.
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Urban Residential Type One (R1) Zone"
and "Holding — Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1) Zone". The R1 zone permits single
and semi-detached dwellings. Townhouses are not permitted in the R1 zone.
6.2 A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to zone the subject lands to permit the proposed
townhouse development. A site -specific zone that would implement the provisions for the
development has been proposed as contained in Attachment 1. A holding symbol has
been included in the proposed zoning by-law amendment for the property until Site Plan
Approval is granted. Once all the conditions of Site Plan Approval have been fulfilled a
by-law will be forwarded to Council to remove the holding symbol.

7. Public Submissions
Page 7
7.1 A statutory public meeting was held on February 20, 2018. The concerns raised during
the meeting and in correspondence received by staff include the following:
• Don't believe the proposal fits the existing neighbourhood. The unit type
(townhouses), height, and impacts on the neighbours;
• Concerns that the plan did not provide enough parking on the site for residents
and visitors;
• The proximity of the entrance of the private lane to the existing intersection at Mill
Street South and Robert Street East is too close;
• Do not want to see all garbage pickup up at one location at the entrance to the
private lane;
• Questions regarding the height of the proposed townhouse units;
• Concerns regarding how the site will be regraded to facilitate the development
proposal;
• Concerns with the removal of existing trees on the site or impact on trees on
neighbouring properties;
• Concerns with lighting, vehicle noise, and traffic from the site. Some residents
expressed concerns with traffic at the existing intersection at Robert Street and
Mill Street and the existing traffic from Newcastle Public School to the east; and
• The existing site is very wet, especially during the spring months, and concern the
development may divert water from the subject lands onto neighbouring
properties.
7.2 The proposed development introduces a different form of housing, townhouses, from
what is currently present in the surrounding neighbourhood. While townhouses are a
different building form, the Official Plan encourages a range of ground related housing
forms, provided they do not negatively impact existing neighbourhoods. The number of
units in the proposed development has been reduced by seven, which is approximately
a third of the original proposal as presented at the public meeting. The 15 proposed
units are located adjacent to Mill Street and at the south end of the property to provide
the largest setbacks possible from the existing dwelling units to the east. The Official
Plan encourages neighbourhoods to include many forms of housing choices to provide
options to meet all residents needs, including current and future.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-019-20
Page 8
7.3 The Zoning By-law requires that each townhouse dwelling provide 2 parking spaces,
one of which can be in a private garage. In addition, 0.25 visitor parking spaces must
be provided per unit. The proposed development has provided 30 parking spaces for
the townhouse dwelling units and four visitor parking spaces, meeting the requirements
of the Zoning By-law.
7.4 The private lane entrance on Robert Street is the location favoured by the road
authorities, both the Ministry of Transportation and the Region of Durham. The Ministry
of Transportation is the authority for Mill Street, south of the intersection and will not
grant permission for an entrance on Mill Street due to the sight lines from the bridge and
the proximity to on and off ramps from Highway 401. The Region of Durham is the
authority for Mill Street and Robert Street intersection. The entrance is located as far
from the intersection that the lands allow for, with an appropriate apron provided. Given
these factors the proposed location is the best location for the lands.
7.5 The Region of Durham has confirmed that the proposed private lane meets the
requirements for municipal waste pickup. Full waste collection will occur on the private
lane in front of each individual unit.
7.6 The grade on the site will be altered, especially at the south end, to accommodate the
proposed development. The site is required to be regraded for several reasons
including servicing of water, sanitary sewer and stormwater, to allow for a new sidewalk
on Mill Street and to create a stronger streetscape. Currently, the subject lands are
much lower than Mill Street and the Highway 401 off -ramp (see figure 3). The current
grade also slopes to the south, leaving the lands at the south end of the site lower than
the grade of Robert Street. In order to provide services, the grading must be brought up
to meet Robert Street and Mill Street.
7.7 The townhouses dwellings are proposed to be three storeys in height but will be
developed within the 10.5 metre height limitations that apply to the surrounding
properties. The grade on the site will be increased as outlined previously to facilitate
the development, specifically at the south. The applicants have also attempted to
provide a transitioned elevation on the furthest most east townhouse unit. This
transition will include less windows and lower roof pitches to limit the appearance at the
south east end of the property (see Figure 5 in section 11 of this report). The elevations
are subject to approval through the site plan approval process.
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PSD-019-20
Figure 3: Existing grade of subject lands in relation to
Highway 401 Off -ramp and Mill Street
7.8 The increase in grade will result in a retaining wall for the proposed development with
the existing residential properties on the low side of the wall. Based on preliminary
grading information, the retaining wall will be 1.6 metres (just under five and a half feet)
tall at the highest point. The applicant has proposed a new chain link fence for the
proposed development. For condominium developments Clarington generally requires
board on board privacy fencing through site plan. The location of the fencing, on the
low side of the retaining wall or on top of the retaining wall, will be reviewed as part of
the site plan review.
7.9 The applicants have provided a tree inventory and planting plan in support of the
applications. The development will result in the removal of several trees on the subject
lands. Staff have identified to the applicant that trees on adjacent properties must be
protected during construction and a safety protection plan, including tree protection
hoarding, will be required as part of site plan approval.
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PSD-019-20
7.10 The development will generate an increase in activity, both pedestrian and vehicular, on
the property. Any redevelopment on the lands beyond a single detached dwelling will
have an impact in this way. The traffic impact study submitted, discussed in Section 8
of this report, concluded the proposed development will not have an adverse impact on
the existing local road network. The Ministry of Transportation, Region of Durham and
Clarington staff have all reviewed the study and are satisfied with its conclusions.
7.11 The subject land currently receives a portion of the stormwater from Mill Street as well
as the stormwater from the site. Currently, the stormwater flows uncontrolled from the
north-west portion of the lands to the south-east. There is an existing drop curb on Mill
Street that directs stormwater through this property to the ditch at the south end of the
property on the Highway 401 right-of-way (see figure 4). The proposed development
will regrade the property and provide new stormwater sewers for the current run off from
Mill Street. The stormwater will be controlled by on site storage tanks with release over
time from the south-west of the property into the ditch in the Highway 401 corridor. This
approach is designed to address the existing wetness of the property and prevent the
existing situation where the stormwater is sheet flowing onto adjacent properties.

8. Studies
Planning Justification Report
Page 11
8.1 A Planning Justification Report was submitted in support of the applications. The report
concludes that the proposed residential development is consistent with Provincial,
Regional and Municipal planning policies.
8.2 The report surmises the development will create a compact form of development that
utilizes existing services and will help support future transit services in the community.
The report identifies that the proposal will introduce an additional housing form to the
neighbourhood without negatively impacting the existing neighbourhood. The report
further concludes that vehicular traffic from the development will be minimal on the
surrounding neighbourhood given the sites location adjacent to Highway 401 and Mill
Street.
Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report
8.3 A Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report was submitted in support of
the applications. The report provides the details of how the proposed development can
be serviced (water, sanitary and storm) from existing and new infrastructure.
8.4 The development will be serviced from existing water and sanitary services on Robert
Street. The stormwater on the subject lands, and a portion of the stormwater from Mill
Street, currently sheet flows from the north-west of the property to the south-east and into
the ditch along the Highway 401 corridor. As part of the development the stormwater will
be captured in new underground storage tanks and upgraded storm sewers installed
under the new sidewalk along Mill Street to control the rate of stormwater discharge. This
is designed to improve the overall stormwater management from the existing situation.
Traffic Impact Study
8.5 A Traffic Impact study was submitted in support of the applications. The report concludes
that the proposed development will not cause any operational issues to the existing local
and regional roadway network.
Noise Impact Study
8.6 A Noise Impact Study was submitted in support of the applications. The report
concludes that warning clauses will be required for all units. In addition, all units must be
equipped with central air conditioning and upgraded building materials to mitigate the
noise and to meet the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks noise guidelines.
8.7 The Region of Durham requires that the applicant revise the report prior to finalizing the
warning clauses and building material upgrade requirements as they have requested
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-019-20
Page 12
clarification on some of the noise source information. The report must be finalized prior
to site plan approval with the appropriate clauses included in the site plan agreement
and purchase and sale agreements.
8.8 Noise fencing will be required on the south side of the property adjacent to the Highway
401 off -ramp. The applicant's acoustical engineer is currently completing the final details
of the noise fencing design. It is anticipated that a total height of approximately 2.75
metres will be required to mitigate noise to the required levels. The design can include a
mixture of berm and fencing to achieve this height. The final details will be required prior
to site plan approval.
Phase One Environmental Site Assessment
8.9 A Phase One Environmental Site Assessment was submitted in support of the
applications. The report concludes that there is no indication of Area's of Potential
Environmental Concerns on the property. The report noted that a designated
substances survey should be performed in accordance with Ministry of Labour
regulations prior to the demolition of the existing dwelling at 403 Mill Street due to the
potential for asbestos, lead paints and other substances.
8.10 The report is required to be revised to be in accordance with the regulations of Ontario
Regulation 153/04. Should any concerns be identified in the revised report a Record of
Site Condition may be required. The report and any revised conditions should they be
required will be addressed through the Site Plan Approval.
9. Agency Comments
Durham Region
9.1 Durham Region Planning, and Works and Transportation Departments have no
objections to the Zoning By-law Amendment application. The Region has identified items
that must be addressed prior to Site Plan Approval.
9.2 The Region is working with the applicant's acoustical engineer to revise the noise report
to identify the final noise fencing detail requirements on the south end of the property.
The Region also requires the Phase One Environmental Site Assessment to be updated
and completed to meet Ontario Regulation 153/04. Regional Works continues to work
with the applicant to finalise the detailed design of the stormwater management for the
proposed development, specifically the new storm sewers adjacent to Mill Street.
9.3 The Region has confirmed that the proposed private laneway meets their requirements
for municipal waste collection.

the stormwater management infrastructure. They have requested the applicant provide
additional information on the detailed design of the stormwater system. The detailed
design concerns must be addressed prior to Site Plan Approval.
Ministry of Transportation
9.5 The Ministry of Transportation has no objections to the applications. The Ministry has
accepted a reduction in the typical setback along Mill St. as shown on the applicants site
plan. The typical setback will be maintained at the south end of the property adjacent to
the existing off -ramp.

9.6 Enbridge, Rogers, Elexicon, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and Canada
Post has no objections to the applications subject to site plan conditions.
10. Departmental Comments
Engineering Services Department
10.1 The Engineering Services Department has no objections to the approval of the rezoning
application. The Engineering Department requires some additional modifications to the
stormwater management infrastructure which will be addressed through site plan
approval. The Engineering Services Department has reviewed the proposed new
sidewalk in front of the units fronting onto Mill Street. The new sidewalk will be required
to align with adjacent sidewalks connecting to the Robert and Mills Street intersection and
the applicant will be responsible for any upgrades to facilitate those connections.
Fire and Emergency Services Department
10.2 The Fire and Emergency Services Department had no objections to the approval of the
application. Comments were provided regarding no parking signage for the private
laneway and fire hydrants on site. These comments will be implemented through the Site
Plan Approval process.
Accessibility Committee
10.3 The Accessibility Committee made several recommendations to increase accessibility
within the units and throughout the site. Comments included ensuring there is interna
pedestrian pathways or sidewalks and a recommendation that the accessible visitor
parking space be more centrally located on the site if possible. The Ontario Building
Municipality of Clarington

Code outlines the requirements for the individual units, although builders can exceed
minimum requirements to make units more accessible.
Operations Department
10.4 The Operations Department has no objection to the approval of the application.
Building Division
10.5 The Building Division has no objection to the approval of the application.
11. Discussion
11.1 The applicants have revised the original application and reduced the number of proposed
townhouse units from 22 to 15. The existing neighbourhood is predominately single
detached dwellings that have developed over many decades. The neighbourhood
consists of large lots on Mill Street, some of which were built in the 1800s, and more
moderate lots on Beaver and Robert Street that were developed mainly during the mid
1900s. The existing single detached dwellings are a mix of bungalow, one and a half
storey and two storey dwellings. There is no definitative character of the existing
neighbourhood when looking at building setbacks and lot size.
11.2 The Clarington Official Plan strives to achieve many goals through various policies for
residential neighbourhoods including: density targets, providing housing options in
building forms, creating sustainable and walkable neighbourhoods, efficiently utilizing
services and ensuring new development is compatible and does not negatively impact
existing neighbourhoods. The polices must be read as a whole in order to achieve a
complete vision for residential areas.
11.3 The proposed development achieves many of the policies of the Clarington Official Plan.
The proposal meets the density requirements and contributes to development within the
built boundary, introduces a new alternative building form in the neighbourhood that the
Official Plan envisions on arterial roads, and efficiently utilizes existing services and
would improve the existing stormwater infrastructure. The proposal introduces a higher
density and a building form that contributes to a transit supportive neighbourhood.
11.4 The Official Plan also requires new development in established neighbourhoods be
designed to respect and reinforce the physical character and have regard for the existing
height, setbacks, etc. The goal of the policy is to ensure that new development is
generally compatible and can integrate into and coexist with the existing neighbourhood.
If repetition of what currently existed within neighbourhoods was all that was permitted
then intensification and providing additional housing forms could not be achieved.
Municipality of Clarington Page 15
Report PSD-019-20
11.5 The proposed development does not replicate the form of the existing neighbourhood but
minimizes impacts on adjacent properties in a number of ways. The dwellings are
located to frame Mill Street and provide as much setback from the existing surrounding
dwellings as possible. The dwellings fronting on Mill Street are approximately 14 metres
from the property to the east at the closest point. The dwellings at the south have a
setback of just over 3 metres. This is located adjacent to the rear yard of the dwellings
on Beaver Street which are setback between 12 and 20 metres from the rear property
line. These additional measures help minimize the visual impact of the new units on the
existing neighbours, specifically to the east where the grade will be increased the most.
The eastern most unit has been designed at a lower height with limited windows on the
east elevation to better transition between the new development and existing residential.
Figure 5: Proposed elevation of south block of townhouses to be finalized
through Site Plan approval process
11.6 The access to the private lane is from a local road, Robert Street, and is located as far
as possible from the existing intersection at Mill Street. There are major concerns and
limitations with access from Mill Street due to the Highway 401 interchange and the
elevations and sight lines caused by the bridge over Highway 401. The Ministry of
Transportation, the Region of Durham and Clarington Engineering staff have reviewed
the Traffic Impact Study submitted with the application. All the agencies are satisfied
that the proposed develop will not negatively impact the existing street network and
support the location of the entrance.
11.7 Clarington's amenity space guidelines do not require a formal amenity space for
developments under sixteen units, although it is encouraged. The proposed
townhouses include nine dual frontage units, fronting onto Mill Street North and the
private lane, and six units that front onto the private lane. All the units will have a small
amenity deck above the garage to allow space for air conditioner units and use by the
residents. The six units that front onto the private lane will also have space at the rear
of their units for backyards. Despite not having a formal amenity space there is a
significant amount of open space on the site, within the required Ministry of
Transportation setbacks, to allow for unprogrammed amenity opportunities. Newcastle
Public School and a municipal park are also less than 100 metres to the east which has
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-019-20
Page 16
sports fields and play equipment residents of the new development can take advantage
of outside school hours.
11.8 The development on the site would result in new stormwater management to handle the
water that is currently sheet flowing from Mill Street to the ditch along Highway 401.
This new infrastructure, which includes an underground storage tank on the lands to
control the rate stormwater is released, is designed to reduce the amount of water
flowing through and standing water on the site and adjacent properties. The new
infrastructure will address the erosion occurring in the ditch along Highway 401.
11.9 As identified in Section 6 of this report the zoning would be approved with a holding
symbol. Several site plan approval details continue to require additional work. Once
those details have been addressed to staff and agency satisfaction a by-law would be
brought forward to remove the holding on the zoning.
12. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
13. Conclusion
13.1 It is respectfully recommended that in consideration of all agency, staff and resident
comments that the application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 to permit a 15 unit
townhouse condominium development with a private lane at the south-east corner of
Mill Street and Robert Street in Newcastle be approved as contained in Attachment 1 of
this report.
