Report PDS-043-21
4.3 A corresponding Site Plan Application has been deemed complete and was circulated
with the Rezoning application. The Site Plan review process is ongoing and is assisting
Staff to determine whether the site is appropriate for the proposed use. As seen in
Figure 3, the applicant is proposing an addition to the south side of the existing dwelling
to house a portion of the commercial establishment. To the east and west of the
dwelling, the applicant is proposing the commercial parking. The applicant is proposing
that the two mandatory residential parking spaces, as per the Zoning By-law 84-63 be
situated to the rear of the dwelling, one outdoor and one within the existing detached
garage. The applicant is also proposing a loading space to the be located within the
Regional Highway 2 boulevard, and not within the boundaries of the subject property.
Figure 3: Proposed Site Plan
4.4 Staff have circulated the proposal to all agencies. Generally, the primary agencies
concerns are related to the site plan approval process. There are no concerns related to
whether the proposed land use is appropriate.
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report PDS-043-21
4.5 Staff have reviewed the rezoning proposal in detail and are of the opinion that the
proposed use meets the legislative framework for Hamlets and the proposed use is
appropriate. Where there are still concerns, Staff will continue to work with the applicant
through the Site Plan Approval process to rectify. Until such time Staff are satisfied with
the proposal, the (`H') Holding Symbol will remain on the property, to ensure no adverse
impacts on the neighbouring community.
5. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
5.1 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) policies direct growth to settlement areas and
promote compact development forms. Planning authorities are to facilitate development
of a variety of housing forms and promote residential intensification to achieve efficient
development patterns. The definition of `intensification' includes the development of
underutilized lots within previously developed areas and infill development among other
uses.
5.2 The site is located within the Settlement Area of Newtonville. The new development
uses existing infrastructure and public services appropriately, having regard for the
site's surroundings. The proposed development promotes compact development forms.
5.3 The proposed development conforms with the Provincial Policy Statement.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan)
5.4 The Growth Plan is a long-term planning framework that manages growth, mainly within
the urban areas of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. It provides policies to encourage
complete communities, which includes a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment
and housing types, high quality public open spaces, and convenient access to local
stores and services.
5.5 The subject proposal promotes complete communities by diversifying the mix of land
uses and employment while providing convenient access for residents to a local store.
5.6 The objective of the Growth Plan is to protect the natural environment and near -urban
agricultural lands by making efficient use of existing public infrastructure and
encouraging compact development within the already built-up areas of the Municipality.
5.7 The Growth Plan recognizes the subject lands as "rural settlement".
5.8 Policy 2.2.9 states that municipalities are encouraged to plan for a variety of cultural and
economic opportunities within rural settlements to serve the needs of rural residents and
area businesses.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-043-21
Page 7
5.9 The site is located within the rural settlement of Newtonville. The added commercial use
to the existing residential property makes efficient use of existing public infrastructure
and encourages compact development within the already built-up area. The subject
proposal also provides a cultural and economic opportunity to serve the needs of rural
residents.
5.10 The proposed development conforms with the Growth Plan.
The Greenbelt Plan
5.11 The Greenbelt Plan identifies where urbanization should and should not occur in order
to provide permanent protection to the agricultural land base and the ecological and
hydrological features, areas and functions occurring on this landscape.
5.12 The Greenbelt Plan recognizes the subject lands as "Hamlet". Settlement Areas,
identified as Towns/Villages and Hamlets, are areas identified for development.
5.13 The Greenbelt Plan policies support a strong rural economy by allowing for commercial
uses needed by the current and future population within the Settlement Areas of the
Greenbelt. The proposed development should contribute to the rural economy as it is
adding a commercial use within a settlement area.
5.14 Policy 3.4.1.1 states that limited growth is permitted through infill and intensification of
hamlets subject to appropriate water and sewage services. The subject proposal is for
infill development and must conform to water and sewage services as determined by
the Municipality.
5.15 The proposed development conforms with the Greenbelt Plan.
6. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
6.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Hamlet".
6.2 Policy 913.1.3 states hamlets shall be the predominant location for residential and social,
commercial and employment development serving the needs of the surrounding rural
area. Policies 913.2.3 b and c state that hamlets shall be developed in harmony with
surrounding uses and may include employment uses and commercial uses that meet
the needs of the residents of the hamlet and surrounding rural area. The proposed
commercial use of the subject lands and its location on Highway 2 should contribute to
the social, commercial, and employment development of the Newtonville hamlet,
serving the needs of the residents of the hamlet and the surrounding rural area.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-043-21
Page 8
6.3 Policy 9B.2.4 b) states that the predominance of residential uses shall serve to guide
the preservation, cultural attributes, and historical heritage of the community. The
proposed development will continue to operate as a residence as its primary use with
an added commercial use.
6.4 Policy 9B.2.6 states that development within hamlets shall be individually serviced with
private sewage disposal systems. The subject proposal is serviced by a private sewage
disposal system and will be expanded as determined necessary.
6.5 The proposed development conforms with the Durham Region Official Plan.
Clarington Official Plan
6.6 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Hamlet".
6.7 Policy 12.4.1 permits, in addition to residential uses, other uses such as general stores
provided the use is compatible with the current surrounding uses and does not detract
from the character of the hamlet. The proposed development does not detract from the
character of the hamlet and is a compatible use with the surrounding areas.
6.8 Policy 12.4.2 a) states that development within a hamlet shall complement and enhance
the historic character of the hamlet. The proposed development should enhance the
historic character of the hamlet by adding to the liveliness of the streetscape.
6.9 Policy 12.4. 2 d) states that development within a hamlet shall consider opportunities
and innovations to provide a more compact settlement form. The proposal is an infill
development as it is within a developed area in Newtonville and will be adding a new
use to an existing property.
6.10 Policy 12.4.5 a) states that all development shall be serviced by municipal water supply.
The proposed development will be serviced by municipal water.
6.11 The proposed development conforms with the Clarington Official Plan.
7. Zoning By-law
7.1 The site is zoned "Residential Hamlet (RH)" which does not permit the proposed use of
a commercial establishment. The Zoning By-law amendment application is seeking to
permit all the permitted uses within the Hamlet Commercial (C3) Zoning, with site
specific regulations to ensure the site is suitable for the proposed uses.
7.2 The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (Attachment 1) will allow the applicant to
establish the commercial uses to a maximum of 60 square metres of floor area while
also maintaining the residential uses. The proposed zoned will mirror the "CY use
permissions of a general store, similar to the zoning on the neighbouring property to the
west.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-043-21
7.3 A site -specific "Holding - Hamlet Commercial Exception ((H) C3-10) Zone" is

Heritage Committee
Page 12
11.6 Staff are awaiting formal comments from the Clarington Heritage Committee. However,
the Municipalities Heritage Planner has been working directly with the Clarington
Heritage Committee to ensure the proposal meets the policies in relation to heritage.
Throughout the site plan approval process the applicant will be required to provide
elevation drawings and information regarding proposed building materials in support of
the subject application to ensure the proposed addition is sympathetic to the heritage
characteristics of the building, and in conformity with Section 8 policies of the Clarington
Official Plan
12. Discussion
12.1 As detailed in Sections 5 and 6 of this report, the subject proposal conforms with all
applicable Provincial and Regional Policy. The PPS, Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan,
Durham Regional Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan all include policies that
direct growth to settlement areas and allow commercial uses needed by the current and
future population within the Settlement Areas. The subject application is for a general
store and eating establishment to be located within a proposed addition to the existing
single detached dwelling. While the relocation of this establishment from its previous
location at the north-east corner of Newtonville Road and Regional Highway 2, to the
property directly east has caused some concerns from residents, policy does not limit
commercial activity based on potential competition of neighbouring establishments.
12.2 Figure 3 illustrates the site plan concept for the commercial developments. While the
subject proposal is consistent with Provincial, Regional and Local policy framework, the
concerns that remain are related to the appropriateness of the site to effectively and
safely incorporate the proposed use. The review of the site's appropriateness is being
conducted through the site plan application process.
12.3 The applicant has been notified of comments from agencies and departments that will
need be addressed as part of the site plan process. Staff continue to work with the
applicant through the site plan review process to address detailed urban design and
sustainable design, final site and building design, and landscaping.
Zoning Change
12.4 The proposed zoning by-law would place the subject lands in a site -specific Hamlet
Commercial (C3) Zone. The zoning change will allow for the establishment of
commercial uses, including a retail store, an eating establishment within a maximum of
60 square metres of the building.
12.5 There are several changes to the typical standards being proposed as a part of this
amendment. These changes are considered minor in nature and reflective of the limited
size and reflect the constraints typical for those of a hamlet within the Municipality. The
"C3-10" zone proposes the following:

Report PDS-043-21

12.6 The C3-10 zone proposes a reduced front yard setback to 1.4 metres and a reduced
interior side yard setback to 2.9 metres, in keeping with many commercial sites
throughout the Municipality, including the neighbouring property to the west. Further, in
anticipation of the inclusion of an accessibility ramp to the front of the addition, Staff are
amenable to a proposed 0 metre setback requirement for all accessibility ramps to
provide sufficient space for the owner to construct the appropriate accessibility
requirements, as per the Ontario Building Code.
12.7 Further the proposed "C3-10" zone would provide a reduced drive aisle requirement to
2.9 metres, to permit the residents to access the residential parking proposed to the
rear of the existing building. Staff feel the reduced drive aisle width is appropriate for
residential purposes given the standard parking space width in the Zoning By-law is
2.75 metres and the proposed aisle would exceed 2.75 metres in width.
12.8 As described in Table 1, the typical Zoning By-law provisions require one loading space
for the proposed commercial uses. Given the size and nature of the operation, Staff have
no objection to exempting the applicant from this requirement. Strict timelines for deliveries
will be incorporated into the Site Plan Agreement, through the site plan process.
Municipality of Clarington Page 14
Report PDS-043-21
12.9 Finally, the proposed "C3-10" zone would limit the amount of commercial floor space in
an attempt to reduce any parking concerns as a result of the property having limited space.
By imposing a 60 square metre limitation to the proposed commercial uses, the site would
only require two dedicated parking spaces, as shown on the site plan in Figure 3.
12.10 Staff are of the opinion that it is appropriate to proceed with recommending approval of
the rezoning application, subject to a (`H') Holding Provision, as the proposed commercial
use is consistent with and conforms to provincial and local policy. In Staff's opinion, the
proposed site -specific zone standards are appropriate and represent minor reductions
from current zoning standards and therefore would result in minimal impact on
neighbouring properties. However, it should be noted that the proposed Holding Provision
would only be lifted once the Applicant provides satisfactory evidence which addresses all
concerns listed in this report, including Sections 8.10 and 10.1, as well as enters into the
appropriate development agreement with the Municipality of Clarington to address the final
technical details related to the proposal.
13. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
14. Conclusion
In consideration of all agency, staff and public comments, it is respectfully
recommended that the application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 to permit the
commercial uses be approved.
It is respectfully recommended that in consideration of all agency, staff and resident
comments that the application for Zoning By-law amendments to permit the

Good Evening,
May 18, 2021
1 am the building owner of 4502 Durham Regional Hwy 2, Newtonville, ON.
Email
I am concerned about the rezoning application for Darryl Kerswell at 4504 Highway 2,
Newtonville,Ontario file number ZBA 2021-0008 for the following reasons:
1) 1 am concerned that due to a lack of parking, our property will be used for parking for
Darryl's store, his employees and personal use. This will take away parking for our
customers, unloading deliveries, staff and upstairs residential tenants.
Furthermore, Daryl illegally parks on our side of the driveway for his personal use, and
his refused to move his vehicle. He has also parked in our driveway overnight, thus
blocking access for me to get to work, which I was living upstairs. Therefore, I believe
he will continue to do so,since past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour.
2) 1 intend on putting up a fence and there are concerns of it being damaged due to the
narrow driveway proposed.
3) 1 have concerns with loading on the main road as it is an obstruction in close
proximity to our property which will limit the view of our business as well as create
safety issues for people turning into our property.
4) The proposed use is redundant and not contributing to diversity in the community as
it is identical to my property. It would be more favorable to see a variety of businesses
instead of the same business side by side.
5) 1 have concerns over the close proximity of the proposed development to the
property lines in terms of public access.
6) It alters the historic facade and is not in keeping with the intent of developing a
heritage district as per the official plan.
7) Increased traffic and visitors to the proposed commercial space is disruptive to the
residential neighbour's including for our residential unit as the commercial density will
be increased with very limited parking creating a high traffic and congested area. There
is potential for pedestrian hazard due to increase traffic with limited space and limited
parking.

In addition, I understand that Darryl Kerswell is the current tenant at the business
beside the address where this application has been made and that the property where
the current General Store is located changed ownership a couple years ago. At that
time if Mr. Kerswell was truly interested in continuing to operate the business he must
have had opportunity to purchase the property himself. Why is it now, that Mr Kerswell
is suddenly able to find the resources finance his proposal?
I strongly urge the Town of Clarington investigate if not at least consider the motivation
behind this application.
Kind regards,

We are concerned about the rezoning application for Darryl Kerswell at 4504 Highway
2, Newtonville, Ontario file number ZBA 2021-0008 for the following reasons:
a) potential highway #2/Newtonville road congestion issues. This is a pedestrian hazard
due to increased traffic with limited space and parking
b) Two convenience stores side by side. The proposed use is unnecessary and is not
contributing to the diversity in the community
c) Lack of parking for rezoned property. The proposed area suggests 2.75 meters and
an average vehicle is anywhere from 4.2 to 4.9 meters in length.
d) This changes the historic look of the area by allowing a new commercial premise to
be constructed. The proposal does not keep with the official plans to develop
Newtonville as a heritage district in the near future.
f) Improper set -backs for extension from the road. The reduced setback will further
congest the boulevard and reduce the landscaping.
g) There are accessibility issues. As per the accessibility standards set by the province,
the path must be 1.5 meters and must be parallel to the handicap space.

1) Traffic and congestion issues as there are already limited spaces for parking.
Potential pedestrian hazards.
2) The new plan suggests 2.75 meters and an average vehicle is anywhere from 4.2 to
4.9 meters in length.
3) This area is known for its look and feel and this will take away from that feeling that
people like to visit and the plan does not mention keeping this as a heritage site.

1). I'm concerned about the traffic and congestion in the area not to mention the hazard
for pedestrians
2). 1 don't see the value of having 2 convince store side by side in a hamlet
3). I'm concerned about the parking that will cause more congestion for everyone
4). The site plan doesn't make sense .. it barely has enough room for parking
5). I'm concerned it will change the historic look if the area by allowing a new
commercial building
Thank you

• Having two convenience stores with the same services beside each other does
May 21, 2021
NOT make sense, but it will create additional problems for both the community
Email
and our business.
• His property does not meet commercial parking requirements. Therefore, parking
will spill onto our property. If we refuse them, we will lose them as our
customers. This creates a catch 22 situation.
• Catering to his request sets a bad precedent. When I could not meet the
minimum four -space parking bylaw for my small business, I had to sell.
• This lack of parking will cause traffic issues and an increased potential for
accidents. That is what the municipality told me when I was denied.
• Our store is a landmark property that has provided food and goods to the
community for over 100 years. It has had many owners. Converting a house to
another convenience store right beside us will only create confusion and assist
his efforts to divide the community.
• His lack of appropriate setbacks adds to what I have outlined above.

We are concerned about the rezoning application for Darryl Kerswell at 4504 Highway
Email
2, Newtonville, Ontario file number ZBA 2021-0008 for the following reasons:
a) potential highway #2/Newtonville road congestion issues. This is a pedestrian hazard
due to increased traffic with limited space and parking
b) Two convenience stores side by side. The proposed use is unnecessary and is not
contributing to the diversity in the community
c) Lack of parking for rezoned property. The proposed area suggests 2.75 meters and
an average vehicle is anywhere from 4.2 to 4.9 meters.
d) This changes the historic look of the area by allowing a new commercial premise to
be constructed. The proposal does not keep with the official plans to develop
Newtonville as a heritage district in the near future.
f) Improper set -backs for extension from the road. The reduced setback will further
congest the boulevard and reduce the landscaping.
g) There are accessibility issues. As per the accessibility standards set by the province,
the path must be 1.5 meters and must be parallel to the handicap space.
Kind regards,
Sonja Johnson

number ZBA 2021-0008 for the following reasons: a) Its approval could lead to
congestion at Highway 2/Newtonville Rd. This may become a pedestrian hazard due to
the probable increase in traffic coupled with the lack of appropriate space for parking. b)
Building a convenience store beside an existing convenience store exceeds the needs

of the area. As it stands the existing store does not make enough income to enable
Darryl Kerswell to pay his rent in full. As such, the proposed business use is
unnecessary and is not contributing to the diversity in the community. c) There will be a
lack of appropriate parking for the property if it is rezoned for business. The proposed
area suggests 2.75 meters and an average vehicle is anywhere from 4.2 to 4.9 meters
in length.
d) Further to the above point, there will not be accessible parking possible at this
property if it is rezoned for commercial use. As per the accessibility standards of
Ontario, there must be a path of 1.5 meters adjacent to any handicap space.
e) This changes the historic look of the area by allowing a new commercial premise to
be constructed. The proposal does not keep with the official plans to develop
Newtonville as a heritage district in the near future. f) Improper set -backs for extension
from the road. The reduced setback will further congest the boulevard and reduce the
landscaping. Kind regards, Danielle Kane

people that do the same. The existing store entrance steps are on the sidewalk and the
entire front section is built on town property, it has no washrooms and tripping hazard
floor levels. Everyone in the village has seen how hard Darryl has worked to bring the
store up to the high standards it now has. I have lived in the village for forty one years
and Darryl has been the best owner of the store by far. I hope you will approve Darryl's

Good Morning Amanda,
May 26, 2021
1 am interesting in finding out where the addition will be for the proposal of 4504
Email
Highway 2 in Newtonville, as well as any additional parking lots that might be made to
this current residential property. We live at 2035 Newtonville rd and our property
boarders the back of this lot with proposed changes. Can you also provide details of
what kind of eating establishment. We are very concerned with the changes to this
property and the effects this might have to our property and would like further details on
the proposed changes.
Thank you in advance,
