OF DARLINGTON FILE: DEV 89-93 RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-200-89 be received; 2. THAT the rezoning application submitted by Markborough Properties and West Bowmanville Developments for a 2.5 ha parcel in Part Lots 15 and 16, Concession 1, former Township of Darlington, be referred back to Staff for further processing and preparation of a subsequent report; and 3. THAT the applicant, all delegations and persons listed to be notified be advised of Council's decision. 1. BACKGROUND: 1.1 Tunney Planning has submitted a rezoning and site plan application on behalf of Markborough Properties and West Bowmanville Developments for a 2.5 ha parcel in Part Lots 15/16, Concession 1, former Township of Darlington. The application proposes the development of approximately 4230 sq.m. of retail commercial floorspace and approximately 900 sq.m. of motor vehicle repair garage and fuel bar uses (see Attachment No. 1) . REPORT NO. : PD-200-89 PAGE 2 1.2 The subject lands are located within the Bowmanville Major Urban Area, and are designated "Residential" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. The Town's Official Plan indicates a "Local Central Area" in the vicinity of the subject property. Local Central Areas are permitted up to 5600 m2 of retail and personal service floorspace. 1.3 The northern portion of the subject lands are zoned "General Commercial - Holding ((H)C1)", while the southern portion is zoned "Agricultural (A)". The commercial zoning was established through Rezoning Application DEV 88-11, previously submitted by West Bowmanville Developments, to implement the "Local Central Area" designation. This application in effect would alter the boundary of the land zoned "H-Cl" to allow the proposed uses. 2. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: 2.1 In accordance with departmental procedure, notice of the application and the Public Meeting was posted on the property and mailed to all property owners within 120m. Notice was also mailed to those parties expressing an interest in the application. 3. CIRCULATION COMMENTS: 3.1 The subject application has been circulated to relevant departments and agencies for comment. However, as of the writing of this report, no circulation comments had been received by Staff. 4. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS: 4.1 No public submissions have been received to date on the subject application. . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-200-89 5. OTHER COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: PAGE 3 5.1 Markborough Properties and West Bowmanville Developments Ltd. have also submitted a revised Official Plan Amendment application (File: 88-87/D/N) to designate a 23.0 ha parcel south of Highway No. 2 as a Sub-Central Area to permit a range of commercial, institutional, community, recreational, and residential uses as provided for by the Durham Regional Official Plan (see Attachment No. 2) . The rezoning Application (File DEV 88-99) proposes to develop a 21,400 sq.m. shopping centre on a 10.2 ha portion of the proposed Sub-Central Area. The Public Meeting for these applications is scheduled for September 18, 1989. This application, if approved, will be considered as part of the sub-central area designation sought by the applicant. 5.2 For the information of the Committee, Attachment No. 2, indicates number of other commercial proposals fronting on Highway No. 2 which are currently being processed by Staff as follows: - Delbert Development Corporation is proposing to include a 2.5 ha parcel within the proposed Sub Central Area in order to develop 8500 sq. m of retail commercial and personal service floor space. - Willsonia Properties is proposing to include a 4 ha parcel within the Bowmanville Urban Area in order to develop 11,800 sq. m of Special Purpose Commercial floorspace. - Carnovale Construction Ltd. is proposing to designate a 'Local Central Area' with 2230 sq. m of retail commercial and office space. . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-200-89 PAGE 4 6. STAFF COMMENTS: 6.1 As noted earlier, a portion of the site is zoned "Holding - General Commercial ( (H)Cl)" as a result of a previous application by West Bowmanville Developments to utilize the "Local Central Area" designation. The current application seeks to redefine the limits of the Local Central Area. 6.2 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan (Section 7.2.5.2 ii) states that a Local Central Area is intended to serve as a focal point of activity for residential communities serving the day to day needs of the residents of the surrounding residential areas. The commercial development presently being proposed involves a single user. The major component is retail commercial with associated motor vehicle repair service and fuel bar uses. 6.3 As previously noted, Markborough Properties and West Bowmanville Developments are proposing to include the subject commercial development as part of the SubCentral Area being proposed by Official Plan Amendment application 88-87/D/N. They have also indicated their intention to submit a revised market analysis for the proposed Sub-Central Area which would reflect the subject commercial development, as well as the 21,400 sq.m. of retail commercial and personal service floorspace being proposed immediately west of the subject site. 7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 7.1 The subject commercial development proposes to redefine the Local Central Area designation as currently set out by the Comprehensive zoning By-law. Comments from circulation of the rezoning application and the related site plan application have not been reviewed. It is therefore recommended that Rezoning Application DEV 89-93 be referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report upon the receipt of all circulation comments. . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD-200-89 --------------------- Respectfully submitted, Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P.
