Site Plan Contro
• Is a land use planning tool that regulates development. It allows for approvals of
drawings and technical studies for a proposed development. It has been used
on the Oak Ridges Moraine to obtain technical studies for development in or
near a natural feature, where necessary.
• 64 Site Plan applications on the Oak Ridges Moraine since 2015. Projects
included barns, garages, new homes, additions and pools.
• Only 6 required a technical study
• Technical studies were only required for sites where development was
occurring within a natural feature
Site Plan Approval not proposed where a technical
study is not required.
Page 11
Proposed Residential and Agricultural Development Process
1. Contact the Planning and Development Services Department to explain your project idea.
2. Planner looks at mapping to explain Provincial, Regional, Local and Conservation Authority requirements
that apply. This will include looking at natural feature and hazard mapping, and air photos.
3. If your project idea is not in or near a natural feature or hazard, you will be advised how to apply for
building permits.
4. If your project idea is in a natural feature or hazard and it appears that there is the ability to adjust the
location away from those areas, the Planner will discuss that with you.
5. If your project location cannot be adjusted and there are permissions for it to continue, the Planner will
contact other agencies and departments to identify and communicate the requirements for approvals.
6. If your project needs a technical study, you will be required to submit a site plan application. The Planning
Department and applicable departments and agencies will let you know what plans and technical studies
are required.

Subject: My speech to Zoning and PP
Attachments: siltation to second marsh.GIF

Dear June,
could my speech be sent to Council, please?
Libby Racansky
Thank you to the staff for the extensive reports on Rural Zoning.
Slidel. Rural Zoning will have an effect on adjacent lands of urban settlement. Actually, it already
does in the case of Harmony, Farewell and Black Creeks watershed.
Today, I would like to make sure that a special feature on which this watershed is located, the
Former Lake Iroquois Shoreline created here thousands of years ago during Wisconsin glaciation,
will be protected in order to assure safety and health of current and future generations.
On the left side of the screen you can see mapping of the LIS in pink colour within the GTA. It
spreads out from Kingston all the way to Hamilton. The continental uplift of this glacial feature
continues. Kingston is rising 30 cm per century with respect to Toronto.
On the right side of the slide this feature location is mapped in green colour. It is a significant
groundwater recharge area for the watershed mentioned above. On top of this sensitivity, it is
located on a very high but shallow aquifer marked by blue colour. Yellow marker shows you the
groundwater flow from NE to SW. The red colour depicts Hwy 418 that interrupted this flow
significantly and with its impermeable surface diverted the flow from our wetlands to roads,parks
and private houses.lt is not just Hwy 418 that is causing problems for the urban residents, it goes
further east and north where new development occurs.
See Slide 2. Plus the runoff from this elevated structure is creating a big marsh on its west side
further intensifying flooding because it is not contained within a certain area as it should be. On
the slide you can see flooding at the corner of Hancock and Nash. Also Black Creek, which used to
be only 2 1/2 m wide, is now flooding housing units located on both sides of the bank. Flooding
and siltation in Creeks completely ruined cold fisheries all the way to Oshawa Second Marsh (see
the attachment).

Page 16
Slide 3. The Courtice and Darlington Ward area is very sensitive to changes; its unconfined aquifer
is underlain by clay (of light grey colour) that causes flooding at some areas and/or dryness in
others,when seepages are affected by far away development within the rural or urban zoning. You
can compare a normal aquifer with the aquifer in Courtice/Darlington on the right side of this
slide prepared by Golder.
Slide 4. Clarington Zoning must conform to Regional OP, their latest Envision and mapping, and
PPS policies. I would have to use a minimum 3 additional slides to include all the mapping and
policies. I am just using a slide depicting the Greenland System that should be protected. I would
like you to notice point b) in section 4.8 of the Envision stating that the former Lake Iroquois
Shoreline should be protected.
It took our group a long time to persuade the Region that this area suffered already so much and
that its ecological functions should be protected. In protecting the environment, we are
protecting human health and overall community well-being and are building
community resilience to the impacts of climate change, as per Rural Zoning document.
Slide 5: From all the above included evidence, there is a need to protect the LIS, and two of the
largest wetland Complexes, for their hydrological functions in Rural Zoning. Aquifers are the only
source of cool clean water.
I am urging our Council to do the same for the urban dwellers as you are doing for the rural
ones. It is your duty to do so.
More, if there is time:
Many other countries, especially Europe, are promoting so many good ideas for their farmland
like vertical growing of vegetables and fruit in greenhouses that do not use much land, energy or
water. This may be the only farming in the near future. I know it from my own experience with
growing fruit, vegetable in these unfavorable climate conditions.) didn't get much or any fruit,
vegies, nuts or berries lately. Even the hedgerows are recognized as an important ecosystem in
their own right. They form a vital reservoir of biodiversity in human -dominated landscapes where
many species might otherwise struggle to survive. By nurturing pollinating insects, they can
enhance the yield of crops. And they do it all while pulling carbon out of the atmosphere.

Protected Greenlands System
4.18 The current Greenlands System comprises approximately 40 per cent of the
region's land base - weaving through both the Urban and Rural Systems. It
contains areas with the highest concentrations of sensitive andlor significant natural
features and functions, agricultural and rural lands. Examples of proposed policy
directions that would support a protected Greenland's System include:
a. Recognizing Traditional Ecelegieal Knowledge in understanding sites and
ecological features and in assessing cumulative impacts;
b. Establishing a water resources systern that includes ground and surface
water features and areas, the Lake Simcoe watershed boundary and former
Lake Iroquois Shoreline;
G. Ensuring conservation authorities, area municipalities and other stakeholders
consider climate change and the effects of severe weather events and cross -
watershed impacts while preparing and updating watershed plans,
d. Seeking to reduce stormwater runoff volume and pollutant loadings within
Designated Urban Areas in the Lake Simcoe watershed, in accordance with
the Lake Simcce Protection Plan-, and
e. Requiring new development and redevelopment to incorporate native and
drought tolerant vegetation.

Report Overview
Page 2
The Planning & Development Services Department is undertaking a comprehensive review
of Clarington's zoning by-laws to implement the objectives and policies of the Official Plan.
This comprehensive review will result in a new, consolidated Zoning By-law applicable to the
entire Municipality.
In December 2020, Council directed staff to resume work on the Rural Area Zoning Phase of
the Zoning By-law review project, which had been placed on hold in October 2019. In doing
so, specific instruction was given by Council on how to proceed. The purpose of this report
is to report back to Council in accordance with their direction, and to seek Council's direction
on next steps for the Rural Area Zoning Phase of the project.
This report provides a brief review of the history of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law
Review Project to date and the key comments heard in response to the release of an initial
draft zoning by-law in November 2018. It includes a revised Draft Zoning By-law for
Clarington's rural areas, a proposed Site Plan Control By-law, and an explanation of the
regulatory approach taken to address Council's direction. An overview of public comments,
and requirements for conformity with Provincial, Regional, and local policy, including the
requirements for environmental protection, are provided.
The report recommends that Council direct staff to initiate a Zoning By-law Amendment for a
new Zoning By-law applicable to Clarington's rural area, coupled with an amendment to the
Site Plan Control By-law. In accordance with the Planning Act, consultation with the public
on a proposed new Zoning By-law will be required. Options are provided for Council's
consideration relating to providing notice of the Zoning By- Amendment and associated
public consultation opportunities.
1. Introduction
1.1 On December 14-15, 2020, Council passed Resolution #C-512-20 relating to the rural
portion of the Municipality's Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Project and
amendments to Clarington's Official Plan (Attachment 1). Specifically, the zoning by-
law related direction from Council requested:
That Staff be directed to bring forth [a] report together with a draft zoning by-law
amendment which:
i) Retains the [Environmental Protection] zoning in place prior to the zoning by-law
review,
ii) Includes schedules from other authorities as additional information in the zoning
by-law listing applicable land use regulations;
iii) Contains advisories with respect to the obligations to comply with land use
controls of external agencies.

1.2 The purpose of this report is to respond to the Zoning By-law matters provided in
Resolution #C-512-20 and seek Council's direction on next steps for the Rural Area
Zoning Phase of the Municipality's Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Project. In
accordance with the Planning Act the implementation of a new Zoning By-law for
Clarington requires public notice and consultation, the outline of which is provided later
in the report (See Section 5.4). Staff note that the directions of Resolution #C-512-20
relating to amendments to the Clarington Official Plan are being addressed separately
through the Official Plan review that will be initiated in 2022.
2. Background
Zoning By-law Review Approach
2.1 Report PSD-060-17, dated September 11, 2017, outlined the background and review
process initially set out for Planning & Development Services to undertake a
comprehensive review of Clarington's Zoning By-laws. In Clarington, two Zoning By-
laws are currently in place. Zoning By-law 84-63 regulates the development of land
between Lake Ontario and the Oak Ridges Moraine and Zoning By-law 2005-109
applies to all lands that are located on the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Zone Clarington
project was initiated to review, consolidate and update (where appropriate) municipal
zoning regulations into one, new, Comprehensive Zoning By-law that conforms with and
implements the Clarington Official Plan.
2.2 The review was generally divided into two phases, rural area zoning and urban area
zoning, with the Rural Area Zoning Phase occurring first. The Rural Area Zoning Phase
encompasses all lands within Clarington that are located outside of the urban areas of
Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle Village and Orono. Lands subject to the Rural Area
Zoning Phase are shown in Figure 1.
2.3 While the initial work plan for Zone Clarington presented in report PSD-060-17
envisioned separate recommendations to Council for the rural areas zoning and urban
areas zoning, this approach was revised early in the project as described in report
PSD-082-18, dated December 10, 2018. The revised general work plan is shown in
Figure 2.

First Draft Zoning By-law (November 2018)
2.5 On November 14, 2018, the first draft of Clarington's proposed new zoning by-law was
released for public comment. The November 2018 draft zoning by-law presented
proposed general regulations, definitions, and zone mapping for Clarington's rural area.
This was the first of three draft versions planned to be released.
2.6 Section 3.0 of Community Engagement Summary Report #1 describes the
communication and consultation activities that were carried out to notify the public of the
release of the November 2018 draft zoning by-law, share information and tools to
support the public's understanding of what was being proposed, and provide
opportunities for the public to review, ask questions and submit feedback. In addition, in
November 2019, a letter of notice about the zoning by-law review project was mailed to
all rural property owners (approximately 5,500 addressed mail outs), as directed by
Council.
2.7 Upon release of the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law, Council heard concerns from
Clarington landowners who believed they were not properly notified of the review and
release of the first draft. Some landowners also expressed concern about the extent of
Page 27

Report PDS-062-21
Page 6
and protections afforded to Clarington's Natural Heritage System, in particular in
comparison to Zoning By-law 84-63. A few were also concerned that natural features
mapped were not present on their property, while others acknowledged the presence of
natural features, but felt that the limits needed to be adjusted. In addition, some
landowners interpreted the proposed Environmental Review Area overlay, which was
intended to flag where an environmental evaluation/study may be needed, as being part
of the Environmental Protection (EP) zoning. These concerns were interpreted as
having the potential to negatively impact property value and limit the ability to farm or
develop rural properties. A summary of comments received on the November 2018 draft
zoning by-law is found in Section 4.0 of Community Engagement Summary Report #1.
Proposed Approach to Protect Natural Features
2.8 To ensure conformity with Provincial policy, the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law
proposed to protect significant natural features within the Environmental Protection (EP)
Zone. The mapping of the natural features was based on the Natural Heritage System
set out in the Clarington Official Plan, which was mapped in conformity with the Durham
Region Official Plan and Provincial policy. The proposed mapping showed a 30 metre
Vegetation Protection Zone Overlay as part of the EP Zone and a 90 metre
Environmental Review Area. Development proposed within the 90 metre Environmental
Review Area required evaluation to demonstrate that there would be no adverse effect
on the adjacent natural feature or its related functions, if and when development was to
be contemplated. It was noted at the time that a similar approach had already been
implemented in Zoning By-law 2005-109.
2.9 The Natural Heritage System is defined in Provincial policy generally as a network of
interconnected natural features, such as wetlands, woodlands, valleylands, and
watercourses, which contribute to the ecosystem services we depend on (e.g.
pollination, soil retention, clean water, flood mitigation). The Provincial Policy
Statement, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), Greenbelt Plan
(2017), and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (2017) all include prohibitions or
restrictions on development within a variety of natural features and natural hazard areas
(e.g. flood plains) that make up the defined Natural Heritage System. Depending on
what and where the natural feature is, Vegetation Protection Zones, which are defined
in Provincial policy, are also required as a buffer between development and natural
features.
2.10 A sample map from the November 2018 draft zoning by-law showing areas both within
and south of the Oak Ridges Moraine is provided in Figure 3. Attachment 2 provides a
listing of significant natural features that comprise Clarington's Natural Heritage System
and are protected for and formed part of the EP Zone mapped in the November 2018
Draft Zoning By-law. The intent of displaying this information was to clearly show what
land may generally not be built upon and, within proximity to these non -development
lands, where justification for a proposed development may be required.

2.11 The extent of the EP Zone shown in the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law mapping
was a significant change from the EP Zone mapped currently in Zoning By-law 84-63.
For the most part, the EP Zone currently mapped in the rural portion of Zoning By-law
84-63 only covers what had been identified as flood plain when it was created nearly 40
years ago and therefore does not conform to Provincial policy. Recognition of the
importance of conserving biological diversity and ecological functions is reflected in the
Provincial policy framework to which zoning regulations must conform to ensure their
protection.
2.12 Natural ecosystems, the geological features supporting them and resulting biodiversity
are now commonly referred to as "ecological goods and services," such as food, clean
air and water, erosion control, assimilation of waste and pollutants, carbon dioxide
sequestration, climate change resilience, recreational opportunities, aesthetic value, etc.
These services have significant social and economic values. To assist in protecting and
perhaps restoring the health of the ecosystem, it is necessary to identify and protect a
natural system in a manner than can be balanced with human needs.
Directions of Council
2.13 On September 16, 2019, Council approved Resolution #JC-115-19, directing staff to
"delete the Environmental Review Area (90 metres) and Minimum Vegetation Protection
Zone (30 metres) from the Draft Zoning By-law amendment."
2.14 In October 2019, the Rural Area Zoning Phase of Zone Clarington was placed on hold
indefinitely by Council. In December 2020, staff were directed by Council to resume
work on the Rural Area Zoning Phase and given specific instruction by Council on how
to proceed (Resolution #C-512-20).
3. Proposed Draft Zoning By-law (November 2021)
3.1 This section describes the requests made by Council in Resolution #C-512-20
(Attachment 1) relating to the Zoning By-law and the approach taken to address
Council's direction. An overview of the proposed process that would be followed in
reviewing a typical proposal to develop or alter a property is also provided for illustration
purposes.
3.2 A revised Draft Zoning By-law, referred to as the November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law,
is provided as Attachment 3. The November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law builds from the
initial draft released in November 2018 and incorporates Council's direction. These
changes to the proposed zoning regulations are shown as red -lined revisions.
Consistent with the initial draft, it contains zone categories and mapping for Clarington's
rural areas only. For Clarington's urban areas the proposed zone categories and
mapping updates are under development and will be provided in a future draft.
Page 30
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-062-21
3.3 Coupled with the November 2021 draft zoning by-law is a revised proposed draft Site
Plan Control By-law (Attachment 4). The Site Plan Control By-law is a tool under the
Planning Act that works with the Zoning By-law. It enables the Municipality to request
technical studies where there is a potential impact on natural features and/or hazards
from a proposed development. Essentially, a Site Plan is a drawing or set of drawings
that illustrates the proposed development on a property. The Site Plan approval process
promotes functional and attractive development, while minimizing adverse impacts on
surrounding land uses, natural features, and natural hazards.
3.4 In addition to responding to Resolution #C-512-20, preparation of the November 2021
Draft Zoning By-law has considered public and agency comments submitted in
response to the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law and the results of other concurrent
projects, such as the Recreational Vehicle and Trailer Parking and Storage Study and
Council's consideration of the regulation of on -farm special events. Details on how
submissions were addressed will be included as part of the next round of public
consultation on the proposed draft zoning by-law for Clarington.
3.5 In preparing the November 2021 draft zoning by-law, staff have particularly sought to
balance the concerns of landowners, directions of Council, and conformity with
Provincial policy requirements for the protection of the Natural Heritage System and
natural hazards. The approach considered by staff as the most suitable approach for
Clarington was critically reviewed by Lehman & Associates, a consulting firm with
extensive experience in municipal zoning. A memorandum from Lehman & Associates,
providing a planning opinion on the identified approach is provided as Attachment 5.
Environmental Protection (EP) Zoning
3.6 Respecting the EP Zone, Resolution #C-512-20 directed that the draft zoning by-law
amendment:
Retains the EP zoning in place prior to the zoning by-law review.
3.7 Since the majority of the EP Zone in Zoning By-law 84-63 is based primarily on historic
flood plain mapping, retaining it requires that it be coupled with new written regulations.
This has been recommended to ensure the draft Zoning By-law conforms with the
Clarington Official Plan, Regional Official Plan, Greenbelt Plan, the Provincial Policy
Statement, or the Planning Act. Thus, the currently proposed November 2021 Draft
Zoning By-law preserves the current EP Zone mapping. Including the written regulations
for the protection of the Natural Heritage System and natural hazards, whether depicted
on a map or not, attempts to balance conformity with Provincial policy and Council
directions.
3.8 The zones and zone boundaries are shown in Schedule E of the November 2021 Draft
Zoning By-law. The EP Zone retains the EP Zone in Zoning By-law 84-63 and Zoning
By-law 2005-109, with one exception. The EP Zone in Zoning By-law 2005-109
Page 31
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-062-21
Page 10
includes a 30 metre vegetation protection zone. In accordance with Resolution #JC-
115-19, this 30 metre buffer has been removed for EP zoned areas within the Oak
Ridges Moraine.
3.9 Comparative sample maps are provided in Figure 4. The left-hand map shows the zone
mapping for a sample area as proposed in the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law,
while the right-hand map shows the zone mapping for the same sample area as
proposed in the November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law.
3.10 Although a use may be permitted by the zoning on a property, the construction of
buildings and structures must not occur within a natural feature or natural hazard unless
supported by Provincial, Regional, and local policies. As only a portion of the natural
features and natural hazards (i.e. flood plain) that the Municipality is required to protect
are accounted for in the existing retained EP Zone from Zoning By-law 84-63, the
November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law (Section 3.7) proposes regulations that prohibit site
alteration and the construction of new buildings and structures in natural hazards,
natural features and their Vegetation Protection Zone in conformity with Provincial
policy. Limited specific exceptions to this prohibition are provided.
3.11 The presence and extent of natural features and natural hazards on a property would be
examined when a property owner comes forward with a proposal for development
and/or site alteration. This would be done through consultation and evaluation in
collaboration with or by other agencies, such as a Conservation Authority (informal
evaluation). In some cases, a technical study may be required to be done by the
property owner to ensure that the natural feature is appropriately protected against the
impacts of the proposed development or site alteration (formal evaluation). Proposed
development or site alteration within or next to (within 120 metres) of a natural feature
may require either an informal or formal evaluation.
3.12 Coupled with the regulations proposed in the November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law, Staff
recommend that Site Plan Control be implemented for new development and/or site
alteration proposals that are in a natural hazard or within or adjacent to a natural feature
where a technical study is required to support the proposal. This is consistent with the
Site Plan Control requirements already set out for the area covered by the Oak Ridges
Moraine Zoning By-law 2005-109. It would now apply across the entirety of
Clarington's rural area. Site Plan Control provides the mechanism that is needed to
obtain a technical study of the potential impact of any proposed development on natural
hazards and natural features, where necessary, and to identify the development limits.
A new Site Plan Control By-law was contemplated when the November 2018 Draft
Zoning By-law was released. An information sheet explaining the concept was made
available as part of the consultation materials for that draft.

3.13 Initially when dealing with Site Plan applications on the Oak Ridges Moraine, property
owners were asked to hire a consultant to prepare a technical study regardless of the
size and potential impact of their development. Acknowledging this was cumbersome
and expensive, staff worked with the Conservation Authorities to develop a protocol to
identify when a technical study is required. In many cases, review by Municipal and
Conservation Authority staff determined technical studies were not required based on
the location and potential impact of the proposal. This practical approach has drastically
reduced the need for technical studies and has been carried forward and improved by
the current proposal.
3.14 In the past six years on the Oak Ridges Moraine, of the 64 development applications
received, only seven required a consultant to prepare a technical study and two required
an update to an existing study. Of the seven sites requiring a technical study, six
proposed a new house completely within a natural feature on an existing, but
undeveloped, lot of record. The studies were necessary to determine development
limits with the least amount of impact on the environmental feature. For the other 57
applications, Municipal and Conservation Authority staff carried out site specific
environmental evaluations to determine the limits of environmental features so residents
could avoid the cost and time required to prepare a formal Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS).
3.15 The Site Plan Control By-law (Attachment 4) recognizes that in some cases proposed
development will not have an adverse effect on natural hazards, or natural features and
their functions. In these cases, where a technical study is not necessary to support the
proposed development, site plan approval will not be required.
3.16 With extension of the application of Site Plan Control to the rural areas south of the Oak
Ridges Moraine, an improved practical, streamlined approach is proposed to be
considered. It is expected that by no longer requiring Site Plan approval applications
where a technical study is not needed, there would be a significant reduction in the
number of Site Plan applications required, while ensuring proposals that would have the
greatest impact on natural features would be appropriately evaluated.
3.17 Only once the limits of natural hazards and natural features on a property are confirmed
through an evaluation or technical study would the EP Zone be adjusted to reflect the
refined limits. Adjustments would be done by Planning & Development Services
through routine general amendments to the Zoning By-law and would not be at the cost
of the property owner.
Advisories
3.18 Respecting advisories, Resolution #C-512-20 directed that the draft zoning by-law
amendment:
Page 34
Municipality of Clarington Page 13
Report PDS-062-21
Contains advisories with respect to the obligations to comply with land use controls of
external agencies.
3.19 Since advisories do not have a regulatory context from a Zoning By-law perspective an
Introduction section has been added to the November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law. The
Introduction outlines the statutory authority the Municipality has to zone lands. It
explains the regulatory obligation that the Municipality has to implement the policy
direction from the Province. It also describes the purpose of the Zoning By-law to
implement the Official Plan. Instructions on how to use the Zoning By-law are provided,
and guidance on other regulations and permitting requirements that may be applicable,
such as the Conservation Authority regulations, Regional Woodland By-law and Site
Alteration permits is also provided. Below is an excerpt paragraph from the introduction:
In addition to complying with the Zoning By-law, when development or site alteration is
proposed, approvals may be required from Conservation Authority, the Region and the
Municipality in accordance with the Conservation Authorities Act, RSO 1990, c.27, Site
Alteration By-laws, the Regional Woodland By-law, the Ontario Building Code, and any
other applicable Act or Regulations.
3.20 While Municipal Staff would assist property owners to understand what other obligations
they may be required to comply with and to connect the property owner with the
appropriate agency, it ultimately would be the responsibility of property owners to
ensure that all obligations are fulfilled before they proceed with a proposed
development.
Schedules from Other Authorities
3.21 Respecting schedules from other authorities, Resolution #C-512-20 directed that the
Draft Zoning By-law amendment:
Includes schedules from other authorities as additional information in the zoning by-law
listing applicable land use regulations.
3.22 Staff have interpreted Council's reference to "schedules" as maps. Schedules is a
common term used in Municipal planning for the series of maps appended to the
regulation section of a Zoning By-law which provide area -specific or site -specific
illustrations of zoning provisions.
3.23 The November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law includes schedules to delineate elements of
the Natural Heritage System. However, mapping by other authorities is not available for
each of the natural features that comprise the Natural Heritage System. Schedules
have only been included for Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs), and areas of
natural and scientific interest (ANSIs), which come from the Province. A schedule for
land regulated by Conservation Authorities is included and is also referenced in the
introduction to make the reader aware of other potential approval requirements. In
Page 35
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-062-21
Page 14
addition, natural hazards are proposed to be included as schedules in the November
2021 Draft Zoning By-law.
Boundary Refinement and Development Process
3.24 As outlined in section 3.10, the proposed approach would determine the extent of
natural hazards and natural features on a case by case basis. When a property owner
wants to develop or alter a property, the process that would be carried out is generally
as follows:
• The Proponent contacts Planning & Development Services to find out what is
required to develop their property.
• Planner examines applicable zoning, local and Regional policy, location of
proposed development in relation to Provincial policy areas and conservation
authority regulation areas, datasets related to natural hazards and natural
features, and air photos.
• Planner contacts agencies to help confirm the presence or absence of natural
features, if necessary.
• If it is evident the proposal is 120 metres from a natural feature and not within a
natural hazard, the Proponent can proceed with site alteration / building permit,
provided it complies with permitted uses and regulations in the Zoning By-law.
• If the proposed development is within or next to (within 120 metres) a natural
feature/ hazard, the limits would need to be determined.
• To determine the limits of a natural feature / hazard, a site visit may be required
and/or a study or evaluation.
• The Planner would also advise the Proponent what other approvals from other
authorities may be required.
3.25 As indicated, only once the limits of natural features and natural hazards on a property
are confirmed through an evaluation or formal study would the EP Zone be adjusted to
reflect the refined limits. Adjustments would be done by Planning & Development
Services through routine general amendments to the Zoning By-law and would not be at
the cost of the property owner.
4. Discussion
Natural Features Protection Through Zoning
4.1 The Regional Official Plan and the Clarington Official Plan implement legislated
Provincial policies which include prohibitions or restrictions on development within
specified natural features, as well as requirements for the inclusion of vegetated buffers
in some cases for added protection of the feature. Accordingly, the Municipality is
Page 36
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-062-21
Page 15
required to protect and not allow development within the specified natural features. The
Zoning By-law is the primary tool for implementing the policies of an Official Plan.
4.2 Zone Clarington was initiated to address the Municipality's requirement under the
Planning Act to review and update the current in effect Zoning By-laws to conform to the
Clarington Official Plan following its updating amendment in 2016. Zoning by-laws
support the implementation of Provincial, Regional and local policies respecting the
protection of natural features, providing a legal and precise mechanism to manage land
use and future development and prevent potential negative environmental impacts.
4.3 In their review, Lehman & Associates highlights two key issues that challenge the
Municipality's ability to implement Provincial natural features protection policies through
zoning. These include "the quality of the mapping of features and the need to protect as
the only means of ensuring impacts are managed." Lehman & Associates states that "in
order to protect and minimize impacts to the natural heritage system, the zoning
permissions must exclude or make conditional any permission for development or site
alteration." This is a blunt instrument from the perspective of both the Municipality and
the property owner.
4.4 Typically, a Zoning By-law is used to prohibit development in natural features by
including the natural features in an Environmental Protection (EP) Zone, which is
defined in mapping with corresponding use permission and zone standards. The
discussions and concerns heard to date in response to the EP zoning approach
proposed in the November 2018 draft Zoning By-law demonstrate the public's interest to
identify and protect natural features using a degree of discretion that is not typically
available through a Zoning by-law as set out in Section 34 of the Planning Act.
November 2021 Draft Zoning By -Law Considerations
4.5 In the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law, the EP Zone was delineated in the mapping
and was based on the natural heritage system set out in the Clarington Official Plan.
Map A of the Official Plan identifies an Environmental Protection Area land use
designation. Map D of the Official Plan provides supplementary information, identifying
Clarington's natural heritage system and select specific natural features, such as
Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSWs), areas of natural or scientific interest (ANSIs)
and watercourses. The features were mapped based on the best and most up-to-date
data and information available to the Municipality when Official Plan Amendment 107
was prepared. The EP Zone proposed in the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law
included a 30 metre Vegetation Protection Zone (which is defined in Provincial policy) to
clearly demonstrate the restriction on development that applies to this area.
Additionally, the proposed regulations recognized that the limit of the EP Zone may not
be accurate and included a provision to provide for adjustment based on actual limits
determined at the time when development of the property is proposed.
Page 37
Municipality of Clarington Page 16
Report PDS-062-21
4.6 Given the uncertainty about the precise mapping of features, Council and staff received
feedback with the view that the extent of the EP Zone in the November 2018 Draft
Zoning By-law was inaccurate, overreaching and overly restrictive. Considering this, an
alternative was requested by Council to address public concerns. While less area is
mapped EP Zone in the November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law as compared to the EP
Zone mapped in the November 2018 Draft Zoning By-law, it is important to note that the
November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law provides for the protection of the natural features
required to be protected by Provincial policy through regulations and references to
schedules from other authorities (e.g. Conservation Area Regulated Areas). The EP
Zone as mapped in the November 2021 Draft Zoning By-law is not fully reflective of
existing natural features which the Municipality is required to protect. In Staff's opinion,
this may be confusing to the public.
4.7 Other aspects of the mapping to consider in reviewing the November 2021 draft zoning
by-law (Attachment 3) include:
Watercourses frequently appear adjacent to and extending beyond EP Zone
boundaries. This can be attributed to both the natural change in watercourse
channels that occurs over time and the improved accuracy of current mapping in
comparison to when Zoning By-law 84-63 was created, some 40 years ago
There are areas zoned EP which were not proposed to be zoned EP in the
November 2018 draft zoning by-law. This is attributed to updates in data between
the current Zoning By-laws (1984 and 2005) and what is available today through
new technology, such as aerial mapping.
Areas where an evaluation/study has been undertaken to confirm development
limits relative to natural features on a property as part of a development
application are not reflected. This would be applicable within the limits of the Oak
Ridges Moraine where development is currently subject to Site Plan Control.
4.8 With respect to the inclusion of schedules from other authorities, while supplementary
maps have been included, mapping by other authorities is not available for each of the
natural features that comprise the natural heritage system. In the absence of including
mapping showing the entirety of Clarington's natural heritage system, the actual extent
of natural features and the applicability of related development regulations may not be
clear to the public.
4.9 In addition to having the strategy reviewed by Lehman & Associates, it was also
reviewed for initial feedback by staff at the Region of Durham and the Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA).
4.10 The Region generally agrees with the proposed revised strategy to protect key natural
heritage and hydrological features through the general zoning regulation. The Region
also supports the use of Site Plan Control to further guide and protect natural heritage
features through environmental study for development in the rural area.
Page 38
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-062-21
Page 17
4.11 CLOCA staff commented that the re-enactment of outdated and inaccurate EP zoning
information alone is not appropriate or in keeping with the requirements of the Planning
Act. They requested that mapped portions of the EP zoning be based on the best
available current information.
5. Next Steps
Implementation of a Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control By-law
5.1 It is recommended that Council direct staff to to initiate the public consultation process,
including the holding of Open Houses and a Statutory Public Meeting, and the
preparation of a Municipally initiated Zoning By-law Amendment for a new zoning by-law
applicable to Clarington's rural area. It is also recommended that Council direct Staff to
prepare a draft amendment to the Site Plan Control By-law concurrently with the Zoning
By-law update for the purposes of regulating development within or in proximity to
natural features.
5.2 While an objective of Zone Clarington is to develop a new, updated, consolidated
Zoning By-law applicable to the entire Municipality, this can be accomplished in a
phased approach. If a new Zoning By-law applicable only to Clarington's rural area is
initially implemented, this new zoning by-law could be amended at a future date to
incorporate updated zoning for the urban areas of the Municipality upon completion of
the Urban Area Zoning Phase of Zone Clarington. In the interim, Clarington's urban
areas would continue to be subject to the provisions of Zoning By-law 84-63. A phased
approach also provides an opportunity for unanticipated challenges associated with
implementing the new rural area zoning to be addressed along with the proposed new
urban area zoning.
Public Notification / Consultation
5.3 From the outset of Zone Clarington, staff have strived to raise awareness of the project
and to prepare simplified web content and information brochures to explain the zoning
by-law review process and proposed changes, communicate how to ask questions and
provide input, and to highlight specific topics that Staff identified are of key interest to
property owners. Appreciating the complexity of the subject matter, these efforts,
including a robust public consultation program, are planned to continue throughout the
duration of the project.
5.4 To meet Planning Act requirements, several key steps would be required to implement a
new Zoning By-law applicable to Clarington's rural area, including public and agency
consultation. These steps are summarized below. Attachment 6 describes each of
these steps in detail and the associated timelines. Key steps include:
Finalize a Draft ZBA for review and consultation;
Request comments from the public and agencies;
Page 39
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-062-21
Page 18
• Public Open Houses, including notifications, publication of resources, and open
house planning and preparations;
• Statutory Public Meeting, including notifications and a staff report;
• Staff Recommendation Report to Council; and
• Council decision on the ZBA and Site Plan Control By-law.
5.5 While the notice and consultation process outlined in Attachment 6 exceeds the
requirements set out by the Planning Act, staff received feedback that the notification
provided upon release of the first draft was limited and that broader notification was
desired. In addition, broader notification of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review
Project was previously requested by Council. Considering this, Staff recommend that in
addition to the Planning Act requirements and the enhanced consultation program as
set out in Attachment 6, Staff prepare and mail a one-time project Information Sheet to
all property owners within Clarington's rural area (approximately 5,500 mail -outs). The
Information Sheet would provide rural property owners with an update on Zone
Clarington, providing notice of the ZBA and proposed Site Plan Control By-law. It would
inform property owners of the Open Houses and Statutory Public Meeting and provide
instructions on where to find information on the project, view and provide input on
documents, and view proposed zone mapping using the zoning by-law review mapping
tool, and how to contact the staff with questions. In addition, it would inform property
owners how to subscribe to receive future news and notices about the project and public
consultation opportunities. The approximate cost of this one-time mail out would be
$6,000.
5.6 Notice and consultation on the proposed draft amendment to the Site Plan Control By-
law would be done concurrently.
6. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
7. Conclusion
7.1 Staff have prepared a second draft of a proposed new Zoning By-law focused on rural
Clarington. This second draft responds to Council direction (Resolution #C-512-20)
specifically on the issue of environmental protection in rural areas, the concerns of
landowners, and conformity with Provincial policy requirements for the protection of the
Natural Heritage System. The second draft zoning by-law is coupled with a new
proposed draft Site Plan Control By-law to provide for a review of development
proposed in natural hazards and within or adjacent to natural features where a technical
study is required to ensure these features are not negatively impacted by the
development proposal.

In addition to regulating natural hazards in accordance with the Conservation Authorities
Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C. 27, Conservation Authorities play a corresponding and
integrated role through their functions as a commenting public body under the Planning
Act. Where a natural hazard exists, it is advised to contact the conservation authority
having jurisdiction, prior to any development or site alteration in order to determine
approval requirement(s).
To address policies contained in the Official Plan and provincial plans that do not fall the

Site Plan Control
Site plan control is a tool to regulate development providp municipalities in Ontario's
Planning Act. It is used to ensure that any develo 'ht rtain standards and
regulations. The goal of Site Plan Control is to imp -rove th ance and look of the

Municipality of Clarington I Zoning By-law XXXX-XX
Draft November 2021
You cannot start to develop an area that is subject to site plan control unless the
municipality has reviewed and approved certain plans. Once the plans are approved,
a site plan agreement is generally executed. This agreement contractually binds the
owner to develop and maintain a site in accordance with the approved plans and the
terms of the aareement.
The site plan control process allows municipal staff to review and approve the
following components:
• Building siting and site design
• Building mass
• Driveways, curbing and traffic directi
s
• Loading and parking facilities
• Emergency vehicle routes
• All pedestrian access such a

How to Ug is QiWw
In order to refer Is By-law most easily, a reader should follow each of the steps
listed below to deffflfiiine what permissions apply to a particular property. The By-law
is a legal document and the reader may require assistance from Staff in the Planning
and Development Services to aain a complete understandina of the aDDlicable
provisions and regulations.
1. Locate the Property on a Map
The first step to usina this By-law is to refer to the schedules(maos) contained at the
back of the By-law to determine in which zone your property is located. The zone will
be indicated on the maps by a symbol. For example, you may see a symbol such as
"RR" on vour property. This would indicate that vour DroDerty is within the 'Rural
Racirlanfinl
Municipality of Clarington I Zoning By-law XXXX-XX
Draft November 2021
Page 49
(RR)' Zone. The zones are explained in Section 2 of the By-law. Section 2 provides
assistance to help you identify the zone boundaries on the Schedules. For example, if
your property appears close to a zone boundary and you are not sure how to determine
exactly where that boundary is located, refer to Section 2.3 of the By-law. The
Schedules also contain Overlay Zones, explained in Section 2.2 and maps of certain
natural features and hazards. Natural features and hazards may not be mapped exactly
and are subject to determination.
2. By-law Amendments
A Zoning By-law is not a static document; it is amended over time as demands and
policies governing land use change. Before proceeding any further, you should verify
that the Property you are looking at is not the subject Qf an earlier Zoning B -law
amendment. Recent amendments may not be includel in the version of the By-law you
are using. Municipal Staff will be able to assist you to confirm the property has been
subiect to a recent By-law amendment.
3. Zone Provisions
ro ert . Sections 6 to 19 of the By-law ide ermitted uses and zone standards
)r each zone and overlav in the Munici . Th initions in Section 22can assist
the purposes of this By-law. You have id ied Iftone in which your Property is
located and have identified wha s e fitted n ourproperty. The next stepis
to determine what standards m I tot use n our ro ert . Sections 6 to 19
of the By-law also identify th e standards f ch of the zone categories in the
Munici alit includingstanda r minimum to area minimum frontage requirements
minimum and requirements m m lot coverage for buildings, maximum permitted
heiaht of buildinas and in some cases. the minimum reauired landscaaed oxen saace
on the lot.
4. General Provisions
Now that you are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the specific zone
standards that apply to those uses, reference should be made to Sections 3, 4 and 5 of
this By-law.
Section 3 contains a more aeneric set of standards know as 'General Develoament
Provisions' that apply to all properties in all zones throughout the Municipality. For
example, the general provisions contain standards that regulate the location of
accessory structures on a lot, height exceptions, natural features, natural hazards non-
conforming buildings, structures and uses that apply to all properties regardless of
where in the Municipality a property is located.
Section 4 'Special Land Use Provisions, regulates uses such as home businesses,
special events, bed and breakfast and short term rentals. Section 6 'Parking, Loading
and Queuing' contain standards for off-street parking and loading_
The General Provisions should be read in conjunctions with the specific zone provisions
for a property.

5. What are Legal Non -Conforming and Legal Non -Complying for the
Purposes of this By-law?
A legal non -conforming building, structure or use is not permitted by this Bylaw, but
legally existed on the date this By-law comes into effect under the Planning Act. To be
legal, the building, structure or use must have been permitted on the lands in the zoning
by-law that was in effect when the use was established and/or the building or structure
was constructed. If the use, building or structure existed on the lands for a considerable
number of years, the building or structure may be legal if it was legally established
before the first by-law for the area was passed.

MEMORANDUM
To: Amy Burke and Tracey Webster
From: Bob Lehman
Date: November 18, 2021
Re: Planning Opinion on Updated Strategy
A - Summary
I have reviewed the context and history of the development of the zoning by-law, the
public process to date and the resulting Council resolution C-512-20. Council's
resolution requires that the new zoning by-law use the boundaries of the EP mapping
from the existing zoning by-laws and directs that the Official Plan be amended to include
specific elements of the Natural Heritage System. Staff have developed an 'Updated
Strategy' to implement Council's direction with respect to the zoning.
2. The Updated Strategy consists of:
• continuing the prohibition on development within all natural hazard lands;
• adding new schedules to the Zoning By-law to depict best available data on the
location of natural heritage and hydrological features and areas regulated;
• including a process to refine boundaries;
• adding a provision to the zoning by-law that indicates while a use may be permitted
on a property, the construction of buildings and structures must not occur within a
natural heritage and/or hydrological features and hazards unless supported by
Provincial, Regional and Local policies, Conservation Authority Regulations and the
Regional Woodland By-law; and,
• requiring site plan approval for developments that are within a hazard and natural
heritage feature and/or hydrological feature and the Provincially mandated
minimum area of influence in order to identify, preserve and protect the Natural
Heritage System (the 'NHS').
Page 258
This reliance on a combination of zoning and site plan approval has been used in
Clarington to implement the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (the 'ORMCP') and
is commonly used in other jurisdictions in similar situations.
Many municipalities have found a similar means to deal with the lack of discretion
available through zoning including amending zoning boundaries without a Planning Act
process, transferring the authority by requiring Conservation Authority approval, using
overlay zones, and/or establishing buffer areas where conditions must be met. The
precedents for the system proposed by the Updated Strategy are now relatively
common in southern Ontario.
4. 1 am of the opinion that collectively this regulatory framework enables the identification
and protection of a natural heritage system that is consistent with the PPS, and
conforms to the Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan policies. The combination of Official Plan policies, zoning controls and site plan
requirements will achieve the objectives and policies of the provincial documents in
terms of protection from hazards and preservation of natural heritage features. All of
the Strategy is needed to achieve conformity.
A Community Planning Permit System ('CPPS') is an alternative planning approval
structure that can be used in this context. A CPPS uses the existing Official Plan
mapping as one input to the issuance of a permit. The experience in administering the
ORMCP zoning provisions indicates that relatively few applications proceed through a
site plan process. Instituting a CPPS to address an issue that occurs infrequently is
unlikely to be warranted given the administrative costs.
6. Minor amendments to the Official Plan can be made, primarily of an informative nature,
that would make the proposed planning process clear. These are detailed in the
memorandum.
B - Context
The Municipality of Clarington retained Lehman & Associates for consulting services relating to
the comprehensive review the Municipality's zoning by-laws, which is referred to as the Zone
Clarington project. The scope of work includes conducting reviews of the following:
1. A proposed strategy for preparing a second draft of rural area zoning based on
direction from Council set out in Resolution #C-512-20; and
2. A proposed second draft zoning by-law and corresponding proposed amendments to
the Municipality's Site Plan Control By-law and Official Plan.
The individual questions posed in Phase 1 are as follows:
1. Review ZONE Clarington Updated Rural Strategy to identify potential conformity issues
with the Provincial Policy Statement, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, Greenbelt
Plan and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Page 259
2. Provide advice on potential modifications to the strategy based on past
experiences/best practices. Proposed modifications must implement Council Resolution
#C-512-20.
3. Identify implementation and enforcement concerns with the strategy.
4. Identify policies that may be required to be amended/added to our Official Plan in order
to implement the strategy.
5. Identify what additional potential regulations, definitions and mapping we should
consider developing for the second Draft Zoning By-law.
The requested opinions are in response to the Updated Rural Strategy proposed to implement
the aspects of the following Council resolution related to the zoning by-law.
8 — Resolution of Council #C-512-20
At a meeting held on December 14-15, 2020, the Council of the Municipality of
Clarington passed the following Resolution #C-512-20:
That Staff be directed to bring forth report together with a draft a zoning by-law
amendment which:
i. Retains the EP zoning in place prior to the zoning by-law review;
ii. Includes schedules from other authorities as additional information
in the zoning by-law listing applicable land use regulations;
iii. Contains advisories with respect to the obligations to comply with
land use controls of external agencies.
Staff take all steps necessary to amend Clarington's Official Plan (the "OPA
Amendment") by way of a municipally initiated amendment, with the Natural
Heritage designation in Map D and Environmental Protection Area in Map A of
the Official Plan being limited to:
a. Provincially Significant Wetland;
b. Areas designated by CLOCA as being within a floodplain (red line on
CLOCA maps);
c. Areas designated by the GRCA as being within a floodplain;
d. Land designated on the current Region of Durham Official Plan
Schedule e Map e-1 as containing Key Natural Heritage and
Hydrologic Features;
e. Land which is Significant Woodland;
f. That land be included which is mandated by the Province to be
designated as Natural Heritage.
That Staff initiate all public consultation such that Section 17.3 of the Official
Plan Special Study Area 2-Greenbelt Expansion be reconsidered.
3
Page 260
C - Conformity of Council Direction
Question One - Review ZONE Clarington Updated Rural Strategy to identify potential
conformity issues with the Provincial Policy Statement, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan, Greenbelt Plan and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
The Council resolution requires features to be included in the OP schedule as follows:
• PSWs;
• floodplains mapped by CA's;
• Durham Region Sched B and Map B-1;
• Significant Woodlands; and,
• "land mandated by the Province to be designated as Natural Heritage".
However, it is noted that this question does not involve that portion of the Council resolution
dealing with specific elements of the natural heritage system. It is my understanding that this
aspect of the Council resolution will be dealt with following completion of the Durham Regional
Official Plan Review. Conformity with the various senior government policies will depend in part
on which elements of the Natural Heritage System are identified and protected.
As such the issue of broader conformity at this stage of the process addresses the general
process and mechanisms of the Strategy.
Provincial Policy Statement - The relevant PPS sections are quoted below beginning with the
statement on the means of implementation which specifically references the need for
evaluation of natural heritage features.
4.6 The official plan is the most important vehicle for implementation of this Provincial
Policy Statement. Comprehensive, integrated and long-term planning is best achieved
through official plans.
Official plans shall identify provincial interests and set out appropriate land use
designations and policies. To determine the significance of some natural heritage
features and other resources, evaluation may be required.
2.0 Wise Use and Management of Resources
Ontario's long-term prosperity, environmental health, and social well-being
depend on conserving biodiversity, protecting the health of the Great Lakes, and
protecting natural heritage, water, agricultural, mineral and cultural heritage
and archaeological resources for their economic, environmental and social
benefits.
The means of implementing the required protections are not specified in provincial policy
despite the reference in Section 4.6 of the PPS. The experience in dealing with the natural
heritage system in Clarington makes it clear that the identification and protection or the
minimization of impacts requires a degree of discretion that is not available in a typical zoning
process using Section 34 of the Act.
4
Page 261
Section 2.1 of the PPS sets out the requirement for a municipality to protect the specified
natural features and areas which are collectively termed the natural heritage systems. Sections
2.1.4 through 2.1.8 identify the nature of the features to be protected.
2.1 Natural Heritage
2.1.1 Natural features and areas shall be protected for the long term.
2.1.2 The diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area, and the long-term
ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained,
restored or, where possible, improved, recognizing linkages between and among natural
heritage features and areas, surface water features and ground water features.
2.1.3 Natural heritage systems shall be identified in Ecoregions 6E & 7E1, recognizing
that natural heritage systems will vary in size and form in settlement areas, rural areas,
and prime agricultural areas.
Similarly, the PPS requires that 'natural heritage systems' shall be identified. The policy and
definition read as follows:
Natural heritage systems shall be identified recognizing that natural heritage
systems will vary in size and form in settlement areas, rural areas, and prime
agricultural areas.
Natural heritage system: means a system made up of natural heritage
features and areas, and linkages intended to provide connectivity (at the
regional or site level) and support natural processes which are necessary to
maintain biological and geological diversity, natural functions, viable
populations of indigenous species, and ecosystems. These systems can
include natural heritage features and areas, federal and provincial parks and
conservation reserves, other natural heritage features, lands that have been
restored or have the potential to be restored to a natural state, areas that
support hydrologic functions, and working landscapes that enable ecological
functions to continue. The Province has a recommended approach for
identifying natural heritage systems, but municipal approaches that achieve
or exceed the same objective may also be used.
The PPS does not permit development and site alteration in some features, without qualification
or alternatives. Development and site alteration is potentially permitted in other elements
provided there are not negative impacts. Implementation of this policy requires identification of
the lands involved such that applications for site alteration or development can ensure that the
feature is protected. As such the implementation of that portion of the Council motion dealing
with the zoning by-law would not conform to the PPS (or the existing Clarington Official Plan).
The resolution states that the by-law would:
5
Page 262
i. Retains the EP zoning in place prior to the zoning by-law review;
ii. Includes schedules from other authorities as additional
information in the zoning by-law listing applicable land use
regulations,
i. Contains advisories with respect to the obligations to comply
with land use controls of external agencies.
Information and advisories would not meet the test of consistency with Section 2.1 of the PPS.
The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan has a series of categories and land use designations
that deal with the conservation of environmental resources. The Municipality has developed
mechanisms to implement the ORMCP that are similar to the proposed Strategy and would
similarly be consistent with the PPS.
The Natural System in the Greenbelt Plan is comprised of the Natural Heritage System, Water
Resource System and key hydrologic areas, key natural heritage features and key hydrologic
features. The Natural Heritage System is not a designation but rather an overlay on top of other
designations, a system similar to the proposed Strategy. The Growth Plan mirrors PPS policies
although with less flexibility and more protections for elements in the natural heritage system.
In summary, the Strategy proposes identification of potential features on schedules, a process to
refine boundaries and a municipal approval through site plan control. Collectively this
regulatory framework enables the identification and protection of a natural heritage system that
is consistent with the PPS, Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan. All elements of the Strategy are needed to achieve conformity.
D. Modifications to Strategy
No specific changes to the Strategy are needed to achieve conformity/consistency. The means
of implementing the required protections in the provincial government policies are not specified
therein despite the reference in Section 4.6 of the PPS. The experience in dealing with the
natural heritage system in Clarington makes it clear that the identification and protection of the
NHS together with the minimization of impacts requires a degree of discretion that is not
typically available in a zoning process using Section 34 of the Act.
In order to protect and minimize impacts to the natural heritage system the zoning permissions
must exclude or make conditional any permission for development or site alteration. This is a
blunt instrument from the perspective of both the municipality and the property owner.
The Strategy recommended by staff proposes to use schedules in the zoning by-law to delineate
those elements of the natural heritage system directed by Council. Any lands within the areas
so described would be potentially subject to site plan control to implement the NHS protections.
As currently directed the new zoning by-law would zone as Environmental Protection only those
lands zoned as EP in the current by-law.
As an alternative to traditional zoning the Municipality could institute a CPPS for the rural area
.
Page 263
of Clarington. In this system site plan, building permit and minor variance (if needed) can be
combined into one planning approval using the Official Plan mapping as the guide for granting a
permit. The Official Plan maps would serve the same function as the proposed schedules in the
zoning by-law.
All applications for building permits would be screened against the Official Plan Map D and OP
policies. Any requirements arising from the Official Plan could be implemented through the
permitting process, which enables the use of conditions and allows a scoping of the extent of an
EIS. The CPPS system has a formalized degree of discretion using Official Plan policies that is not
available in Section 34 zoning controls.
A typical condition in a CPPS addressing NHS regulations could read as follows:
X.XX CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — ALL CLASSES OF PROVISIONAL AND PLANNING
PERMITS
X.XX.1 Where an impact assessment, site evaluation report, or technical report is
required, it must be undertaken to the satisfaction of the Municipality and the
recommendations of that report may be required to be implemented through a
condition imposed prior to the issuance of a Planning Permit, as a condition of a
Planning Permit, or in an agreement registered on title, and may include greater
requirements than specified in other provisions of this By-law.
X.XX.2 Conditions may include the following:
a) a natural heritage evaluation where a development:
i. is located within 120 metres of a provincially significant wetland, or within 30
metres of any other wetland;
ii. is located within 30 metres of a watercourse;
iii. is located within 6 metres of the stable top of a steep slope or toe of a steep
slope;
iv. is located within a natural heritage feature or area
Amending the current draft rural by-law to become a CPPS would not be difficult or time
consuming. The structure would be the same, the zones and definitions similar if not identical.
Additional regulatory sections would provide detail on conditions that may be imposed and the
general process. An Official Plan amendment to enable the use of the system would be
required.
Using such a system does have some administrative impacts as two different systems of zoning
approval would be used within the same office. Notice requirements, appeal rights and the
public process in general are different from a typical zoning process. One significant difference
is that the issuance of a permit is not subject to third party appeals in a CPPS.
It is my understanding that the experience in administering the ORMCP zoning provisions
indicates that relatively few applications proceed through a site plan process. Instituting a CPPS
7
Page 264
to address an issue that occurs infrequently is unlikely to be warranted given the administrative
costs.
Best Practices
The approach to environmental planning that has developed over time in Ontario begins with
the identification and categorization of environmental features and/or systems that should be
protected. The categorization of these features is standardized at the Provincial level through
the PPS, ORMCP and the Greenbelt Plan and supplemented by the Natural Heritage Reference
Manual (Ministry of Natural Resources, March 18, 2010).
Inherent to the categorization is an expression of importance to the environment — as in
Provincially Significant, significant, or not. Provincially Significant wetlands must be preserved,
other wetlands not (except on the ORM or in the Greenbelt), at least from the perspective of the
Province. A similar terminology and hierarchy is used for wildlife habitat, woodlands,
valleylands and other features.
One important factor in the system is that the scope of the land base is such that complete
inventories of any one feature or system are expensive and policy approaches must by nature
be broad brush. In rural areas such as that in Clarington the natural heritage system is part of an
extensive landscape that has been settled and farmed for 200 years. There are two
implementation issues — the quality of the mapping of features, and, the need to protect as the
only means of ensuring impacts are managed, given the human settlement pattern.
Originally there was no mapping of PSW's, today all of southern Ontario has mapping compiled
by the Province of PSW's. However, other elements of the NHS that require protection have
incomplete and sometimes inaccurate mapping, as the mapping has been compiled solely
through the use of aerial photography. As a consequence, the protection of woodlands, wildlife
habitat, valleylands, fish habitat and other (key) natural heritage features and areas can only be
accomplished by broad strokes, both in policy and in mapping (setbacks and buffers).
In addition to uncertainty about the extent and location of features, the determination of
whether development would cause a negative impact must be done with a specific form of
development or site alteration in mind. Such a determination cannot be done in advance or in
theory, thus the need for a planning approval that identifies the extent and nature of a feature,
as well as the potential impact.
Over the last two decades it has become apparent that the tools available under the Planning
Act are not adequate to easily implement Provincial natural heritage policies. Most
municipalities in the ORMCP have developed a form of 'conditional zoning' to implement the
Moraine Plan as it is the most efficient and effective means to do that, Clarington included.
Other jurisdictions have found other means of introducing discretion into the zoning process
that assists in achieving the objectives of protecting and preserving a natural heritage system.
Many municipalities have found a similar means to deal with the lack of discretion available
through zoning including amending zoning boundaries without a Planning Act process,
Page 265
transferring the authority by requiring Conservation Authority approval, using overlay zones,
and/or establishing buffer areas where conditions must be met. The precedents for the system
proposed by the Updated Strategy are now relatively common in southern Ontario.
E- Identify implementation and enforcement concerns with the strategy.
It should be possible to draft appropriate zoning regulations to implement the Strategy and the
Official Plan appropriately. I do not see any enforcement concerns.
F- Potential Amendments to the Official Plan
I have quoted sections of the strategy and then discussed the need for any Official Plan
Amendments. There is only one significant issue which is the prohibition against development
in natural heritage features in 3.4.8 of Clarington's Official Plan, which I think can be resolved.
Some notion of discretion or criteria should be added to the Plan to mirror the use of the site
plan control or a CPPS. I have tried to minimize any needed or possible amendments.
Strategy - Bring forward an amendment to Site Plan Control By-law 2010-139.
The amendment is intended to bring forward process improvements and changes
to implement Provincial policies related to Environmental Protection that will
apply to the rural area of the entire Municipality. Approvals will be required for
developments that are within a hazard and natural heritage feature and/or
hydrological feature and the Provincially mandated minimum area of influence.
Strategy - This concept was approved by the MMAH when approving
modifications to Zoning By-law 2005-109 to implement the ORMCP. This will
ensure the policy requirements of the PPS, Greenbelt Plan, Growth Plan, ORMCP,
Regional and local Official Plans are fulfilled in terms of environmental protection.
As currently proposed, exemption criteria will be added for developments that
would not create further negative impacts on an environmental feature. Site Plan
Control By-law 2010-139, references the EP zone, Minimum Area of Influence
Overlay relating to Zoning By-law 2005-109 will need to be removed.
I have reviewed Section 3 of the Official Plan from 3.1 to 3.4.19. 1 don't think any amendments
are needed to the Goals, Objectives or General Policies.
Section 3.4 has the operative policies. Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 identify the features that make
up the natural heritage system. Sections 3.4.3 through 3.4.6 set out information about the
potential changes to boundaries and the means by which that may occur.
Policy 3.4.8 reads as follows:
3.4.8 Development and site alteration with respect to land within a natural heritage feature
and/or a hydrologically sensitive feature or within its vegetation protection zone is
prohibited, except the following:
Page 266
a) Forest, fish and wildlife management,
b) Conservation and flood or erosion control projects, but only if they have been
demonstrated to be necessary in the public interest after all alternatives have been
considered,
c) Transportation, infrastructure and utilities, but only if the need for the project has
been demonstrated by an Environmental Assessment, there is no reasonable
alternative, and it is supported by a project specific Environmental Impact Study; and
d) Low intensity recreation.
This is mirrored in 14.4.5
14.4.5 No development shall be permitted on lands designated Environmental
Protection Areas, except:
1. a) Low -intensity recreation;
2. b) Uses related to forest, fish and wildlife management;
3. c) Erosion control and storm water management; and
4. d) Agriculture, agricultural related and on farm diversified uses in accordance
with Section 3.4.8.
As such it is necessary for the implementing zoning to prohibit' development. The rural zoning
by-law should implement the updated strategy by:
• continuing the prohibition on development within all natural hazard lands;
• including a process to refine boundaries;
• adding a provision to the zoning by-law that indicates while a use may be permitted
on a property, the construction of buildings and structures must not occur within a
natural heritage and/or hydrological features and hazards unless supported by
Provincial, Regional and Local policies, Conservation Authority Regulations and the
Regional Woodland By-law.
The following policy supports the extent of the area that will be subject to site plan control.
3.4.15 An Environmental Impact Study, a Natural Heritage Evaluation and/or
Hydrological Evaluation shall be undertaken for any development or site
alteration proposed within the minimum area of influence of any natural
heritage feature and/or hydrological sensitive feature identified in Section 3.4.2,
3.4.3 or 3.4.11 but outside the feature itself and the related minimum vegetation
protection zone identified in Table 3-1 of this Plan.
You could, for clarity add the following policy:
"Site plan approval may be required for any proposal for development or site alteration on
lands within any natural heritage feature and/or hydrological sensitive feature identified in
Section 3.4.2, 3.4.3 or 3.4.11 or the related minimum area of influence and/or minimum
vegetation protection zone identified in Table 3-1."
10
Page 267
Strategy - Sectionl.4 Permitted Uses of the Administration and Interpretation
Section will be updated to clarify that although a use may be permitted by the
Zoning on a property, the construction of buildings and structures must not
occur within a natural heritage and/or hydrological features and hazards unless
supported by Provincial, Regional and Local policies, Conservation Authority
Regulations and the Regional Woodland By-law. Regulations will be provided to
advise that Site Plan Control will be required in those areas to ensure policy
conformity and to identify the development limits. Development cannot proceed
without Site Plan approval unless it meets exemption criteria spelled out in the
Site Plan Control By-law.
Strategy - This section will reference Schedules that will be added to the Zoning
By-law to depict best available data on the location of natural heritage and
hydrological features and areas regulated by Conservation Authorities.
Schedules will be replaced as data is updated. As part of the Site Plan process, a
site visit may occur when a development is proposed in order to determine the
accuracy of the data and to determine if a study is required to identify the type
of environmental features/hazards, their limits and the measures needed for
protection in accordance with Provincial, Local and Regional policies and the
Regulations under the Conservation Act and Regional Woodland By-law.
Section 3.4.14 of the Clarington Official Plan below sets out the areas of influence. The
standards in this table should be used in the draft rural zoning by-law, which implements the
Official Plan and Strategy.
3.4.14 Table 3-1 identifies the minimum vegetation protection zone and the
minimum area of influence of identified natural heritage system features.
I am available to discuss this opinion at your convenience.

I request that this be added and recorded on the agenda of the Planning and Development meeting on November 30,
2021.
We are 47 year residents of 4646 Courtice Rd, Clarington, ON LOB1JO. It is extremely upsetting and frustrating that a
very large portion of our property could be zoned Environmentally Protected. The fact that we would not have been
notified of this increase in EP is appalling and unjust to say the least.
We want our property to remain as our property and not be changed significantly without our knowledge or consent.
