And Whereas, this policy requires diversion targets to be met for food and
organic waste in Ontario;
And Whereas, anaerobic digestion is one technology that is available to assist in
meeting these regulatory requirements;
And Whereas, the capture of methane biogas for conversion into renewable
natural gas or other forms of energy will be a model for the future to create a
carbon neutral resource from the residential organics stream and help mitigate
the current climate crisis if properly regulated, developed and managed;
And Whereas, fulsome Provincial oversight and regulations are required to
manage the operation of anaerobic digestion facilities to ensure that any potential
impacts on neighbouring properties, including but not limited to odour, noise and
traffic, are mitigated;
And Whereas, fulsome Provincial oversight and regulations are required to
manage the impact on the environment including impacts associated with
emissions to air, soil, surface water and groundwater;
And Whereas, as an emerging industry, numerous projects have been proposed
in a short timeframe within the Province, including within the Regional
Municipality of Durham;
And Whereas, it is important to ensure that public sector anaerobic digestion
facilities and private sector anaerobic digestion facilities are evaluated against a
common regulatory framework to ensure a consistent approach;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Regional Municipality of
Durham requests the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to
develop a regulatory framework to manage the operation of anaerobic digestion
facilities, whether public sector or private sector owned and operated, and apply
a consistent approach across the Province in order to ensure host communities
of these facilities are protected from land use planning and environmental
impacts;

Re: Update on Lakeridge Health Bowmanville Helipad
As Council is aware, in September 2018, the helipad at the Bowmanville Hospital ceased
operations due to safety concerns. Since that time, staff have been working with
representatives from Lakeridge Health on securing a temporary site to accommodate
emergency air transportation until a permanent rooftop helipad is completed as part of the
Bowmanville Hospital redevelopment plan.
In January 2021, the Ministry of Health announced funding to move forward with the
development of a temporary helipad. The preferred location is 1160 Haines Street, just
south the Bowmanville Cemetery on lands owned by the Municipality of Clarington.
Lakeridge Health will enter into a lease agreement with the Municipality for the use of the
lands. This will be the subject of a staff report later this spring.
Lakeridge Health has prepared a feasibility assessment to ensure all safety requirements
from ORNGE and Transport Canada have been met. Transport Canada requires
Lakeridge Health to consult with the public. Lakeridge Health will post a sign on the site
and notice will be given to all landowners within 500 metres of the subject lands. The
consultation process will commence March 16t" and end on April 5t", 2021. The sign and
notice are attached hereto for information.
Once final approval is given by Transport Canada, construction will begin in July 2021
and is expected to be complete by end of October 2021, with the helipad operational in
November 2021.

TEMPORARY HELIPAD SITE
We are pleased to provide the following update on the Bowmanville
Hospital's helipad.
For over 30 years, the Bowmanville Hospital's helipad has been used to
urgently transfer critically ill patients by helicopter from the hospital to
other acute care facilities. Access to air ambulance transport is an
essential part of delivering health care services to the Clarington
community.
In September 2018, the hospital's helipad ceased operations due to safety concerns. Since that time,
Lakeridge Health has been working with ORNGE Air Ambulance Service, along with municipal, provincial,
and federal government partners on securing a location, funding, and capital approvals for a temporary
heliport site in Bowmanville. This temporary site will accommodate emergency air transportation until a
permanent rooftop helipad is completed as part of the Bowmanville Hospital redevelopment plan.
Throughout this process we have been guided by feedback from our community partners and members of
the local community.
Site Location
In January 2021, the Ministry of Health
announced funding to move forward
with the development of a temporary
heliport site. A property on Haines
Street, a five-minute drive from the
hospital and owned by the Municipality
of Clarington, has been endorsed by the
Ministry of Health.
The site is located in an open field on the
west side of Haines Street, east of Soper
Creek Forest, south of the Bowmanville
Cemetery, and north of existing
warehousing. This site is within the
municipality's existing 'General Industrial'
land use designation.
Page 30
A feasibility assessment has ensured the site meets all safety requirements and technical standards for
both ORNGE and Transport Canada. The heliport will be operated by Lakeridge Health and will be used
exclusively to accommodate emergency medical air transportation by helicopter to and from the
Bowmanville Hospital. Helicopters may approach or depart the heliport in any direction depending on
weather conditions.
Construction Timing
Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2021 and is expected to be completed in October 2021.

Report
To: Planning and Economic Development Committee
From: Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development
Report: #2021-P-6
Date: March 2, 2021
Subject:
CP Railway Traffic Information and Data
Recommendation:
That the Planning and Economic Development Committee recommends to Regional
Council:
That Regional Council endorse the draft resolution contained in Attachment #1 to this
report requesting that CP Rail reconsider its decision to stop providing railwaytraffic
information and data to the public.
Report:
1. Purpose
1.1 It has recently come to the attention of Regional Planning staff that CP Rail has
decided to stop providing railway traffic information (train schedules and frequency)
to the public. This information is necessary for planning purposes so that noise and
vibration studies can be properly conducted for sensitive uses that are being
proposed in proximity to these facilities. CP Rail has not provided any rationale for
this procedural change but advises that trains travel on their corridors on a constant
basis and that schedules are subject to change.
1.2 The purpose of this report is to provide background information regarding the use of
CP Rail data and to recommend that Council endorse the draft resolution contained
in Attachment #1 to this report.
Page 36
Report #2021-P-6
2. Background
Page 2 of 4
2.1 Sound is considered to be a contaminant under the Environmental Protection Act,
and it can have a negative impact on human health. Some studies have found that
sleep disturbance caused by excessive noise can affect cardiovascular,
physiological, and mental health, as well as physical performance.
2.2 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) states that planning for land uses in the
vicinity of rail facilities should be undertaken in a manner that ensures that rail
facilities and sensitive land uses are appropriately designed, buffered and/or
separated from each other. The PPS also directs municipalities to avoid land use
patterns and development which may cause environmental or public health and
safety concerns.
2.3 The Regional Official Plan requires a Noise Assessment Study, consistent with
Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) Guidelines, to be
undertaken when a development application is located within 300 metres of a
railway corridor.
2.4 Objectives of a Noise Assessment Study include the following:
a. to create a suitable acoustical environment for the protection of residents of
the proposed noise sensitive land uses;
b. to protect sources of noise from new noise sensitive land uses that are
introduced in their proximity; and
C. to create compatible land uses and avoid potential adverse effects due to
noise.
2.5 For many decades, CN and CP Rail have provided railway traffic information to
noise consultants engaged by developers as input into railway noise assessment
studies. This is consistent with modelling procedures developed in the late 1970's
early 1980's by the Ministry of Environment (now MECP). Railway noise modelling
is used extensively in land use planning when residential development and sensitive
land uses are proposed near a railway corridor.
2.6 In May 2013, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Railway Association
of Canada prepared a document entitled "Guidelines for New Development in
Proximity to Railway Operation". The Guidelines specifically indicate that
consultation with the railway is imperative to determine the frequency, type and
speed of trains within the corridor. A representative from CP Rail was a party to the
preparation of this document.
Page 37
Report #2021-P-6
Page 3 of 4
2.7 Noise mitigation measures stemming from railway traffic information are established
during the application review and approvals process, and stem from the conclusions
and recommendations from noise reports prepared by noise engineers. Mitigation
measures are ultimately implemented during the construction stage of development.
2.8 The lack of railway traffic information means that inputs to calculate railway noise in
proximity to a CP Rail corridor will not be available. As a result, the accuracy of the
noise assessment studies will be subject to a wide variety of interpretations, some of
which may be questionable. A lack of railway traffic information could result in the
implementation of noise mitigation measures that may be inadequate.
3. Previous Reports and Decisions
3.1 There are no previous reports or decisions regarding this matter.
4. Relationship to Strategic Plan
4.1 This report aligns with/addresses the following strategic goals and priorities in the
Durham Region Strategic Plan, Goal 2.2, Enhance community safety and well-
being. Excessive noise levels can have negative impacts on the quality of life in a
community. Ensuring that Noise Assessment Studies are undertaken with the most
current data available is consistent with the Strategic Plan.
5. Conclusion
5.1 The lack of CP railway data will have implications on future residential development
applications within the Region. The implementation of potentially inconsistent
mitigation measures across the Region may result in inadequate or unnecessary
noise mitigation measures. An inconsistent rail impact assessment and the
implementation of inadequate noise mitigation measures could impact quality of life.
5.2 It is recommended that Regional Council endorse the draft resolution contained in
Attachment #1.

Attachment #1
Planning and Economic Development Committee Meeting — March 2, 2021
Moved By:
Seconded By:
Whereas sound is considered by the Environmental Protection Act to be a contaminant
which causes negative effects on human health;
Whereas the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) states that planning for land uses in the
vicinity of rail facilities should be undertaken in a manner that ensures that rail facilities
and sensitive land uses are appropriately designed, buffered and/or separated from
each other;
Whereas the PPS also directs municipalities to avoid land use patterns and
development which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns;
Whereas, Environmental Noise Assessment Studies, prepared in accordance with
Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks guidelines require accurate and up-to-
date data to accurately assess the impacts of railway noise on new development and
identify appropriate mitigation measures;
Now therefore, be it resolved that the Region of Durham is requesting that CP Rail
reconsider its decision to cease providing railway traffic information to the noise
consultants; and
That a copy of this motion be forwarded to CP Rail; the area municipalities; the
Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO); and the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM).

Report Overview
The Clarington Heritage Committee and staff are recommending the addition of four
Bowmanville properties to the Municipal Register:
• 172 Liberty Street North
• 192 Liberty Street North
• 77 Scugog Street
• 75 Wellington Street
Page 2
The Municipal Register is a listing of the cultural heritage resources in Clarington that
warrant historical protection. The addition of these properties to the Municipal Register (i)
supports the promotion of Clarington's local heritage, and (ii) protects the buildings from
being demolished without proper evaluation of their cultural heritage significance by affording
the Municipality additional time (up to 60 days) to review a demolition permit, should such an
application be received.
1. Background
Ontario Heritage Act
1.1 Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act requires every municipality to maintain a
Municipal Register that lists all heritage properties formally designated by by-law. In
2009, Council expanded Clarington's Municipal Register to include "non -designated"
properties. Including a non -designated property on the Municipal Register is a formal
indication that a property has cultural heritage value or interest and warrants further
evaluation to determine appropriate conservation measures. The decision to include a
non -designated property on a Municipal Register rests with Council upon consultation
with the municipal heritage committee.
1.2 Listing a property on the Municipal Register does not provide any legal protection to the
property. Only formal designation under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act can do
so. The primary benefit of including a non -designated property on the Municipal
Register is to provide the Municipality with additional time (up to 60 days) to review a
request for a demolition permit, rather than the shorter timelines outlined in the Building
Code Act.
1.3 The protection afforded to non -designated properties on the Municipal Register allows
time for a more thorough evaluation of the property and time to provide Council with a
recommendation on demolition or moving forward with designation of the property. More
specifically, the 60 days allows sufficient time to evaluate the building condition,
protection options, mitigation measures, alternate development proposals, etc. and to
make a recommendation to Council on the cultural value of a property.
Page 55
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-019-21
Page 3
1.4 Adding a property to the Municipal Register also allows the Municipality to request a
demolition permit applicant undertake a study or research to demonstrate that the
property does not have significant heritage value, or to determine appropriate mitigation
measures or alternative recognition options that can be implemented.
1.5 In June 2019 the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent.
Bill 108 amends the Ontario Heritage Act, among numerous other pieces of legislation.
Such changes are due to come into force on a day to be named by proclamation of the
Lieutenant Governor, which is anticipated to be sometime in 2021. The upcoming
amendments will introduce a more formal process to add non -designated properties to
the Municipal Register, including prescribed notice requirements and an opportunity for
Council to consider input/objections. As outlined in Section 4 below, these changes
align with the Municipality's current practices. Staff will continue to monitor the status of
the Ontario Heritage Act amendments and implement the changes as necessary.
Properties on Clarington's Municipal Register
1.6 There are currently 112 properties on Clarington's Municipal Register comprised of 78
designated properties and 34 non -designated properties, as well as 1 Heritage
Conservation District (Beech Avenue).
1.7 To date, many of non -designated properties added to the Municipal Register have been
under threat of demolition. Examples include the buildings at Camp 30 (now
designated), properties affected by the 407 extension (now demolished), and properties
that are within areas identified for intensification and/or redevelopment.
Clarington's Cultural Heritage Resources List
1.8 In accordance with the Clarington Official Plan, the Planning and Development Services
Department maintains a Cultural Heritage Resources List (CHRL) with advice and
assistance from the Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC). The CHRL is an inventory of
properties that the Municipality has identified as having cultural heritage value or
interest. Properties on the list are categorized as Primary, Secondary and Heritage
Merit. The properties identified on the CHRL are subject to the policies of Section 8
(Celebrating our Cultural Heritage) of the Official Plan. However, the properties are not
formally recognized under the Ontario Heritage Act unless they are added to the
Municipal Register either as a non -designated property or as a property designated by
by-law.
1.9 The Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC) has established building evaluation criteria
with the intention of reviewing properties on the CHRL to determine properties that
should be formally recognized under the Ontario Heritage Act. A sub -committee of the
CHC reviews properties from the public right-of-way using the evaluation criteria and
presents their recommendations for each property to the CHC.

1.10 In October and November 2020, the CHC reviewed the following four properties, 2 of
which are currently identified on the CHRL as noted below, and has recommended
adding each property to the Municipal Register:
• 172 Liberty Street North (Secondary);
• 192 Liberty Street North;
• 77 Scugog Street; and
• 75 Wellington Street (Secondary).
1.11 The location of each of the properties is identified in Figure 1. A description of each
property based upon the CHC's evaluation can be found in Attachments 1 through 4 of
this report.
2. Provincial and Regional Policy
Provincial Policy Statement, 2020
2.1 The PPS 2020 provides that economic prosperity should be supported by encouraging a
sense of place fostered by well -designed built form, cultural planning and conserving
features that help define character. More specifically, the PPS 2020 directs that
significant built heritage resources shall be conserved.
Provincial Growth Plan, 2019
2.2 The Growth Plan, 2019 directs that cultural heritage resources will be conserved and
promoted in order to foster a sense of place for the social, cultural, and economic

3. Clarington Policy and Regulations
Page 6
3.1 The Clarington Official Plan provides that when a cultural heritage resource is
designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or is recognized on the CHRL, the
Municipality shall discourage the demolition or the inappropriate alteration of a cultural
heritage resource. Whenever possible, built heritage resources should be retained for
the original use and in their original location. Where the original uses cannot be
maintained, the adaptive reuse of built heritage resources will be supported. If no other
alternative exists for maintaining structures in their original location, consideration may
be given to the relocation of the structure. Should a heritage resource be demolished,
the dismantling, salvage and reuse of materials is encouraged.
3.2 All four properties are designated Urban Residential by the Clarington Official Plan,
2018 (consolidation). The primary use of land in the Urban Residential designation shall
be for housing purposes, however the designation also provides for other small-scale
uses that are supportive of and compatible with residential uses.
3.3 172 Liberty Street N. and 192 Liberty Street N. are located along a Local Corridor. The
Official Plan intends that corridors shall provide for intensification, mixed -use, and
pedestrian and transit supportive development. Density and built form shall incorporate
and be sensitive to existing local character and scale to create an attractive and
compatible built form with a distinctive community image. The inclusion of these
properties on the Municipal Register will ensure these cultural resources are properly
evaluated and considered as part of any future redevelopment along the Liberty Street
Local Corridor.
3.4 75 Wellington Street and 77 Scugog Street are located within the area that was subject
to Interim Control By-law (ICBL) 2018-083. The by-law enabled the Municipality to
complete the Bowmanville Neighbourhood Character Study to address concerns
regarding redevelopment in established residential areas. The Study resulted in
recommendations for amendments to the Clarington Official Plan and Zoning By-law 84-
63 to provide for policies and regulations in the subject areas that better reflect
neighbourhood character. The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments
were approved by Council on July 6, 2020 and are in full force.
3.5 75 Wellington Street was included in the Heritage Conservation District Background
Study in 2005. This Study resulted in the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage
Guidelines, which provide guidance to owners of properties in the study area when
considering plans for construction and/or alteration of buildings, structures, and
landscaping.

4. Public Notice
Page 7
4.1 Currently, under the Ontario Heritage Act there is no notification requirement before
Council adds a property to the Municipal Register as a non -designated property.
However, it has been the Municipality's practice to notify property owners. As noted
above, this practice aligns with the upcoming amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act.
4.2 On February 26, 2021, Planning staff sent a letter to the owners of the four properties
proposed to be added to the Municipal Register. The letter notified property owners that
the CHC identified their home as notable for its architectural and historical attributes. A
Resident Information Sheet explaining the Municipal Register, and what having a home
on the Registry means was provided (Attachment 5). The letter also advised that a staff
report would be presented to the Planning & Development Committee recommending
the addition of the subject properties to the Municipal Register. Owners were invited to
contact Planning and Development Services staff to discuss the CHC's evaluation and
recommendation.
4.3 As of the time of writing this report, no correspondence relating to the proposed addition
of the subject properties to the Municipal Register has been received.
5. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
6. Conclusion
6.1 Cultural heritage resources contribute significantly to Clarington's community fabric.
Proactively adding properties to the Municipal Register (i) allows the Municipality 60
days to evaluate the property in more detail and explore conservation options prior to
the issuance of a demolition permit (ii) recognizes the property's cultural value or
interest, and (iii) illustrates the community's appreciation for its local culture and
heritage.
6.2 Staff and the Clarington Heritage Committee respectfully recommend that the following
four properties in Bowmanville be added to the Municipal Register: 172 Liberty Street
North, 192 Liberty Street North, 77 Scugog Street and 75 Wellington Street.

� 14-0+ T�
This two -storey, two -bay brick
dwelling was built in in the
1880sin a vernacular of the
Four -Square style. The
dwelling features a shallow
hipped roof but no centre
dormer, which is irregular for a
Four -Square style dwelling.
There is a transom above the
double front door and the full -
width front porch is held up by
rounded brick columns. The
frontispiece is made from Brick
together with angled walls that
contain one over one narrow
windows on either, while all of
the other front windows are two
over two windows. The front of
the house is made of running
bond brick whereas the side
has 1/3 running bond. It
belongs to a collection of
homes constructed of brick.
Although the original basic
form of the house still exists
(particularly in the full -width
porch), the dwelling has been
changed significantly by
alterations including additions
to the outside and rebricking
of the two chimneys. The front
of the house has significant
architectural designs that
make it unique within
Bowmanville — these designs
cannot be found on any other
house in town.

Municipal Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: Resident Info Sheet
What is the Municipal Register?
The Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) requires the municipality to maintain a formal register of properties that have cultural heritage
value or interest. It is a list of properties that Council considers to be important to the community for any of the following reasons:
• Due to the property's distinctive architectural or design value
• Because the property is associated with an important person, event or activity that is significant to the community's heritage
• The property is historically linked to its surroundings or is a landmark
What types of properties are included on the register?
The register includes a variety of properties with heritage value, including:
• Properties that are designated by by-law under the OHA (either individually or as part of a Conservation District)
• Properties that are not designated by by-law under the OHA but Council deems to have cultural heritage value or interest
What does it mean if my property
is on the Register?
• Non -designated properties on the
register cannot be demolished
unless the owners give Council at
least 60 days' notice in writing
• Listing a property on the register
does not provide any legal
protection to the properties on it (it
must also be designated by by-law
in order to have legal protection)
Can alterations or additions
be done to properties on the
register?
. Yes, for non -designated
properties. Any alterations or
additions would follow the
same process as for any
property
Can I sell my property without
notifying the municipality if
it's listed in the register?
. Yes Page 65
How does a property get to be listed on the
register?
• The Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC)
researches, evaluates and scores the suitability of
a property for inclusion on the register using a
standardized assessment template
• Planning staff, in consultation with the CHC, will
forward a recommendation to Council to add
suitable properties to the register
• Council will make decision at a public meeting
• The property owner will be notified of the meeting
and can choose to address Council if desired
