by Mr. Wayne Bolahood to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The
subject applications seek to develop four (4) condominium apartment buildings
with a total of 333 units, and 1390 square metres of associated commercial uses
including a recreation facility, offices, and a restaurant, on a 3.19 hectare
parcel of land in Part Lot 34, Concession 2, Courtice (see Key Map attached).
The remainder of the applicant's lands, which has an area of 7.17 hectares and
lies adjacent to Farewell Creek, is to be developed as passive open space.
The lands proposed for development are designated "Low Density Residential" by
both the Town of Newcastle Official Plan and the Courtice West Neighbourhood
Development Plan. Policies in those documents limit densities on lands so
designated to 15 units per net residential hectare. The proposed development
would have a density of 143 units per net residential hectare, which exceeds
the maximum of 80 units per hectare permitted for High Density Residential
uses. The Official Plan and Neighbourhood Development Plan also state that
high density residential uses shall be located in or adjacent to the Courtice
Community Central Area. The remainder of the applicant's lands are designated
"Major Open Space". The development site and the valleylands are zoned "(H)R1"
and "EP" respectively by By-law 84-63.
The subject applications have been circulated by both the Region of Durham and
the Town. The following is a summary of the comments received to date:
Town of Newcastle Fire Department
"Considering a project of this size and occupancy, it is assumed that fire
fighting capabilities are available, in the event of a fire emergency. These
fire fighting capabilities can vary from municipality to municipality, but
generally the larger municipalities have greater fire fighting capabilities
than smaller ones or rapidly growing ones. The level of municipal fire
protection considered to be adequate will normally depend on both the size of
the municipality (number of buildings to be protected) and the size and
occupancy of buildings within that municipality. Since larger buildings tend
to be located in larger municipalities, they are generally favoured with a
higher level of municipal fire protection. Building size should be related to
available municipal fire protection.
Staff have no objection to this project, but are concerned with how this
part-time Fire Department is to maintain the existing level of service
provided, considering the overall development throughout the municipality.
This project alone will generate approximately a 1000 person population
increase."
