Figure 1: Original application submission for 167 townhouse units, 2016
2.2 A Public Information Centre was held May 18, 2017 and the statutory Public Meeting was
held on June 5, 2017 at Planning and Development Committee. The applicant was
provided detailed comments from internal departments, external agencies and the public
for their review. A concern identified with the proposal was that it did not meet the Region
of Durham or Clarington Official Plan policies, specifically with regards to density within
the Town Centre. Staff also requested different forms of housing to provide more
affordable and accessible options within the development.
2.3 In April 2018, the applicants submitted revised Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan
applications. The applicant also submitted a new Draft Plan of Subdivision application to
facilitate a future plan of condominium on the lands. The revised concept included 213
residential units including 61 dual frontage townhouses, 64 stacked townhouses and 88
apartment units in a six -storey building. The revised plan included an underground
parking area accessed from the west side of the property to serve the apartment building
(Figure 2).
2.4 A Public Meeting on the revised plan was held on June 25, 2018. The applicant was
again provided detailed comments from internal departments, external agencies and the
public for their review. One concern included the noise impact on the proposed
residences from the existing commercial businesses located to the south, being Walmart
and Canadian Tire.
2.5 Since the Public Meeting on June 25, 2018 staff and the applicant worked to further refine
the revised proposal. The final revisions lead to a proposal for 205 residential units
including 55 dual frontage townhouses, 64 stacked townhouses and a 6 storey, 86 unit
apartment building (Figure 3).

4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
Page 7
4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) identifies settlement areas, such as the
Bowmanville Urban Area, as the focus of growth and promote compact development
forms. Planning authorities are encouraged to create healthy, livable and safe
communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential,
employment, recreation, and open space uses.
4.2 Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that efficiently use
land, resources and infrastructure. New development in designated growth areas should
have a compact form, mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land,
infrastructure, public service facilities and transit supportive. Recent changes to the PPS
policies state that planning authorities shall also consider market demands when
evaluating proposals.
4.3 The subject applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
Provincial Growth Plan
4.4 The Provincial Growth Plan is a long term planning framework that manages growth,
mainly with the urban areas of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. It encourages
municipalities to manage growth by directing population growth to settlement areas.
Municipalities are encouraged to create complete communities that offer a mix of land
uses, employment and housing options, high quality open space, and access to stores
and services.
4.5 A range and mix of housing options and higher densities in strategic growth areas,
including major transit station areas, are to make efficient use of land and infrastructure
and support transit viability. Transit -supportive and pedestrian -friendly developments will
be concentrated around existing and future transit routes.
4.6 The subject applications conform to the Growth Plan.
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as a Regional Centre, which is to
be developed as the main concentration of commercial, residential and cultural functions
within the urban area in a well -designed and intensive land use form. A Regional Centre
shall support an overall, long-term density target of at least 75 residential units per gross
hectare and a floor space index of 2.5.
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report PSD-058-20
5.2 Development in Regional Centres shall be based on the following principles:
• Compact urban form which is transit -supportive;
• Provides a mix of uses and opportunities for intensification;
• Follows good urban design principles with focus on public spaces and pedestrian
connections, with parking to the rear or within buildings; and
• Enhances grid connections for pedestrians and cyclists.
5.3 Durham Region has started the comprehensive review of their Official Plan. Through
their Growth Management discussion paper released in 2019, the Region has begun
identifying Major Transportation Station Areas surrounding existing and future GO
Stations. The Region has set a draft boundary of the Bowmanville Major Transit Station
Area as the limits of the existing Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan. The
intent is to identify an area that maximizes the number of potential transit users within
walking distance to the future station.
5.4 The proposal conforms with the Region of Durham Official Plan.
Clarington Official Plan
5.5 The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands Urban Centre. Development within
Urban Centres shall provide for a mix of uses with a focus on higher density and a mix of
housing types to support the successful development of complete communities. The
minimum density target for Urban Centres is 120 units per hectare. The current proposal
has a density of approximately 72 units per hectare. When future applications are
submitted for the remainder of the lands to the east, abutting Green Road, which are
anticipated to be two apartment buildings, the density across the lands designated Low
Rise High Density Residential is anticipated to meet the Official Plan density requirements
of 120 units per hectare.
5.6 Urban Centres are to be developed as the main concentration of activity within
communities. Development should be transit supportive with a pedestrian focus as
people -oriented places with a high -quality pedestrian environment including civic squares,
parks, walkways and building forms and styles that reflect the character of the community.
5.7 Development within the Urban Centre designation must comply with the urban design
policies of the Official Plan, including those specific to the Bowmanville West Town
Centre Secondary Plan.
Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan
5.8 The Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan designates the lands Low Rise High
Density Residential. The Low Rise High Density designation permits townhouses and low
rise apartment buildings not exceeding six storeys in height.
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PSD-058-20
5.9 The Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan is one of the Secondary Plans that
is currently review. This work is in early stages. Currently the density in the Low Rise High
Density designation shall be a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 80 units per hectare.
The Official Plan with the adoption of OPA 107 has a policy indicating where an
inconsistency with the parent plan exists related to density the parent plan shall prevail.
As stated in 5.5 above the minimum density in the parent plan is 120 units per hectare.
5.10 The density must be achieved across the Low Rise High Density designation. The
proposal has a density of approximately 72 units per hectare. Once the lands to the east
of the current applications, adjacent to Green Road, are developed with future apartment
buildings the lands across the Low Rise High Density designation should achieve the 120
units per hectare required by the Official Plan.
5.11 The Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan strives to achieve development at
higher intensities than adjacent residential neighbourhoods, provide alternative housing
forms, create pedestrian connections and maximize accessibility to public transit,
including the future GO station.
5.12 The proposal meets the intent of the Clarington Official Plan
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Agricultural (A) Zone. The proposed Zoning
By-law Amendment (Attachment 2) will allow for the development of 55 dual frontage
townhouses, 64 stacked townhouses and 86 apartment units in a common elements
condominium. A holding (H) symbol is placed on the zoning until the Draft Plan of
Subdivision is registered and the Site Plan Agreement is finalized.
7. Summary of Background Reports
7.1 The applicant has submitted several studies in support of the development applications
which were circulated to various agencies and departments for comment. Staff have
worked with the applicant to ensure that supporting documents addressed all applicable
provincial, regional and local policy, guidelines, and standards. The submission materials
were posted on the Municipality's website.
Site Servicing and Stormwater Management Report, Cole Engineering Group Ltd.
7.2 The report and drawings detail how the proposed development can be serviced (water,
sanitary and storm) from existing and new infrastructure.
7.3 The development will be serviced from existing water and sanitary services on Brookhill
Boulevard. The stormwater currently sheet flows from the south of the property to the
north-east. As part of the development, the stormwater will be captured in new
underground storage tanks and discharged at a controlled rate into the stormwater
sewers on Brookhill Boulevard.
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PSD-058-20
7.4 The development will include infiltration trenches and increased soil depths to help with
water infiltration on the site.
Traffic Impact Study, Cole Engineering Group Ltd.
7.5 The Traffic Impact Study was prepared to analyse the anticipated impacts of future
background and site -generated traffic for the proposed development. The units will be
serviced with an internal private lane which eliminates direct vehicle access from
individual private entrances and concentrates vehicle access to three points, one onto
Boswell Drive and two onto Brookhill Boulevard.
7.6 The report concludes that the proposed development will have minimal impact to the
operation of the existing neighbourhood intersections and does not require any mitigation
as a result of the proposal. There is also sufficient space within the site, on the private
lane, to provide for fire and garbage truck movements.
Noise Study, HGC Engineering
7.7 Multiple noise reports were required as part of this application. In addition to the applicant
submitting a noise report, the commercial properties to the south were also required to
submit noise reports. As the existing commercial businesses were established many
years prior to applications on the subject lands exact noise mitigation requirements could
not be determined when they were constructed. The site plan agreements for those
properties included clauses that required them to review and install noise mitigation
measures when the location and design of the residential units to the north was
determined, which was done through the current applications. One of the commercial
businesses will be required to install noise mitigation from the existing loading spaces and
air condition and trash compactor units.
7.8 The noise consultant for the applicant has reviewed the noise studies provided from the
commercial business to the south. The review indicates that warning clauses are required
for all units in Blocks 8 to 16 and the apartment building units.
7.9 As the noise information was received through multiple reports the applicant's consultant
will be required to provide a final report that synthesises all the mitigation measures on
the subject lands and the commercial businesses to the south, as a Condition of Draft
Approval.
Urban Design Brief, John G. Williams Limited
7.10 The Urban Design Brief outlines the elements of the revised proposal, including how the
proposal meets the urban design criteria of the Bowmanville West Town Centre
Secondary Plan. The report highlights that while the development is a higher density than
the existing neighbourhood on the north side of Brookhill Boulevard, the separation of the
street and 3 storey townhouse units fronting a majority of the frontage provides a logical
transition.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-058-20
Page 11
7.11 The report also identifies that the development will create a strong urban streetscape,
with traditional architecture style, and a pedestrian supported development with multiple
access into the site.
Shadow Study Analysis, Vanle Architect
7.12 A shadow study analysis was submitted to provide visual representation of the shadow
impacts of the apartment building. The analysis indicated that the shadow from the
apartment building will not impact the existing neighbourhood on the north side of
Brookhill Boulevard with the exception of afternoon shadow in the month of December.
Archaeological Assessment Stage 1 & 2, This Land Archaeology Inc.
7.13 The field investigation did not identify any archeological resources on the property. A
clearance letter was received from the Ministry of Culture on October 3, 2008.
Phase One and Two Environmental Site Assessment, Cole Engineering Group Ltd.
& GHD
7.14 A Phase One Environmental Site Assessment was conducted by Cole Engineering that
determined assess two potential risk spots on the subject lands and concluded a Phase
Two would be required.
7.15 A Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment was conducted by GHD to determine any
potential site contamination. The Phase Two included soil and water sampling. The
samples met the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Parks requirements for
residential development and no further works were required.
8. Public Submissions
8.1 A statutory public meeting was held on June 25, 2018. The concerns raised during the
meeting and in correspondence received by staff include the following:
• Proposal does not fit the existing neighbourhood in terms of proposed density (number
of units) and overall character;
• Lack of park space for existing and future residents;
• Traffic is already a problem, especially for students walking to schools east of Green
Road, and this proposal will increase traffic;
• Rental units will bring low income families to the neighbourhood and renters don't
invest as much as homeowners in their neighbourhood leading to concerns of property
appearance and property values; and
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-058-20
Page 12
• Existing schools are at capacity and many area students bused to schools out of the
neighbourhood.
8.2 Further discussions regarding the concerns from residents are contained in Section 11 of
this report.
9. Agency Comments
Durham Region
9.1 Durham Region Planning, Works and Transportation Departments have no objections to
the proposal. The proposal is consistent with Provincial Policy and Regional Planning
Policy. The Region provided Conditions of Draft Plan Approval (Attachment 1).
9.2 The Region will require an update Noise Study be submitted for review and approval as
part of the Conditions of Draft Approval, Attachment 1. All Regional Works standards will
be required to be met through the Site Plan Approval process.
Central Lake Ontario Conservations Authority
9.3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority had no objections to the applications subject
to the conditions identified in the Conditions of Draft Approval. The applicant will be
required to satisfy the conservation authority with respects to the stormwater
management through the Site Plan Approval process.
Other Agencies
9.4 Canada Post and Rogers have no objections to the applications subject to conditions
identified in the draft conditions.
10. Departmental Comments
Public Works Department
10.1 The Public Works Department has no objections to the approval of the proposed
development. The applicant will be required to meet all public works standards which will
be included in the future Site Plan Approval process.
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.
Municipality of Clarington Page 13
Report PSD-058-20
Building Division
10.3 The Building Division has no objection to the approval of the application.
11. Discussion
11.1 The proposal is to develop a vacant 2.87 ha parcel of land. The site has frontage on
Brookhill Boulevard and Boswell Drive. The applicant has proposed a common elements
condominium containing 205 residential units including 55 dual frontage townhouses, 64
back to back townhouses and a six storey 86 unit apartment building, common amenity
space and private laneways.
Neighbourhood Character and Intensification
11.2 The subject lands are at the interface of two distinctly different Secondary Plans and two
areas that are envisioned for different purposes. It is important to create the proper
transition between these two secondary plans while achieving the goals of each
secondary plan. The lands to the south are within the Bowmanville West Town Centre
Secondary Plan, an urban centre, and envision large-scale commercial uses, higher
density residential and future GO Station. The lands to the north are the southern edge of
the Brookhill Secondary Plan which is envisioned as a predominantly residential
neighbourhood. Both the Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plans and the
Brookhill Secondary Plan are currently being reviewed and updated to comply with
Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107.
11.3 The existing dwellings north of Brookhill Boulevard are a mix of single, semi-detached
and townhouse dwellings. The lands to the south are large scale commercial. The
proposed development has a density of approximately 72 units per hectare; significantly
lower than the minimum 120 units per hectare required by the Official Plan. As discussed
in Section 5 of this report there are additional lands, east of the subject lands within that
have not been developed and can contribute to meeting the minimum 120 units per
hectare. Staff believes this approach allows for the density to be met across the Low
Rise High Density designation while allowing an appropriate transition between the
Brookhill Secondary Plan and Bowmanville West Town Centre Secondary Plan.
Municipality of Clarington Page 14
Report PSD-058-20
11.4 The current proposal would permit an apartment building on the west side of the lands,
with a majority of the massing along Boswell Drive, and condominium townhouses
through the majority of the lands, opposite the existing residences on Brookhill Boulevard.
Future buildings to the east of the subject lands will allow for future apartment buildings
that have a majority of massing adjacent to Green Road. This approach will allow
majority of the massing of the density on the subject lands and the lands to the east to
front onto Green Road and Boswell Drive, which currently contain a secondary school to
the east and agricultural lands to the west, for which the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing has granted a Minister's Zoning Order for a future long-term care home on the
west side of Boswell Drive, opposite the subject lands. The proposed development will
focus the higher density, apartment unit to the west side of the property, where there are
limited residences along Boswell Drive.

introducing additional housing forms and tenures, a density that meets the requirements
of the Official Plan and development that supports future transit initiatives including GO
transit.

Traffic
Page 16
11.6 The Traffic Impact Study concluded that the proposed development will have minimal
impact to the operation of the existing neighbourhood intersections and does not require
any mitigation as a result of the proposal. The report has been reviewed by the Region of
Durham and Clarington staff and deemed acceptable.
11.7 One of the main concerns raised by residents was that it was difficult and dangerous for
students to walk to the school on the east side of Green Road; there were no signalized
crossings north of Highway 2. At the Public Meeting it was indicated that the intersection
at Green Road and Stevens Road was to be signalized in the fall of 2018. This
signalization has been completed and provides for a safer access to the east side of
Green Road than previously existed.
Amenity Space and Parkland
11.8 The main amenity space for the development has been positioned in the center of the site
for access by all residents. The main amenity space area is approximately 800 square
metres in size and will include programming for children as well as open space that is
unprogrammed. There will be additional amenity space around the apartment building to
provide outdoor seating and gathering spaces.
11.9 The size of the amenity space exceeds the requirements of Clarington's Amenity Space
Guidelines. A minimum of 4 square metres per unit is required for developments over 16
units.
11.10 There is a Community Park situated within the Garnet B Rickard Recreation Complex,
which contains play equipment and baseball fields.
11.11 A neighbourhood park has been set aside in a Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision in the
Brookhill Neighbourhood, situated near the future intersection of Longworth Avenue and
Clarington Boulevard.
11.12 The applicant will be required to provide a cash contribution for parkland dedication.

Schools
Page 17
11.13 There is a future elementary school site within a Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision
within the Brookhill Secondary Plan area, situated at the future intersection of Longworth
Avenue and Clarington Boulevard. As mentioned previously the Brookhill Secondary
Plan is currently under review. As part of that review process the school boards have
been engaged and have provided information to staff on their land requirements for future
schools in the Brookhill neighbourhood. As a result of this process the Municipality will
designate school sites in coordination through the Secondary Plan process. While sites
are designated it should be noted that at the time of development, the school boards
independently determine whether to proceed with a site based on school enrollment and
the provincial funding formula.
11.14 As identified in Section 6 of this report the zoning would be approved with a Holding (H)
Symbol. The site plan cannot be finalized and registered until the subdivision has been
registered. The applicants will also require a Plan of Condominium in the future to create
the common elements. Once those details have been addressed a by-law would be
brought forward to remove the holding on the zoning.
Recommendation and Next Steps.
11.15 Conditions of Draft Approval contain special provisions to address the implementation of
all recommendations of the studies and reports submitted, including future reports (as
referenced in this report). Other standard conditions will address such items as dedication
of road widenings and cash -in -lieu of parkland.
11.16 The proposed Zoning By-law amendment would place lands in a site -specific residential
zone permitting the link townhouse dwellings with standard regulations regarding
setbacks, building height, landscaped areas, resident and visitor parking.
11.17 Upon approval of the Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment the
applicant will work with staff on implementation details:
Site plan Approval — Items such as architectural details, detailed engineering, entrance
design landscaping and lighting will be reviewed;
Condominium approval — will follow site plan approval and create a legal description for
each unit and derive a set of condominium rules for the development, and;
Approval of application for Exemption from Part Lot Control will follow site plan approval
allowing for individual Parcels -of -Tied -Land (POTL's) to be created.
