APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant/Owner: Prestonvale Heights Limited 1.2 Proposal: Clarington Official Plan Amendment • Amend Map A2 "Land Use Courtice Urban Area" and Map A "Land Use South West Courtice Secondary Plan" by deleting the Medium Density Residential symbol at the northwest corner of Prestonvale Road and Bloor Street and replacing it with a High Density symbol. • Amend Map H1 by changing the population of the Penfound Neighbourhood from 3950 to 4050. • Amend Table 9-2 by revising the housing target of the Penfound Neighbourhood as follows: i. Reducing medium density units from 150 to 75; ii. Increasing the high density units from 0 to 200 ; and iii. Amend all corresponding totals. Proposed amendment to Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision From: A total of 156 units, consisting of 90 lots for single detached dwellings and a block for 66 townhouse units. To: A total of 261 units, consisting of 59 lots for 49 single detached dwellings, 10 semi detached lots for 20 dwelling units; and 4 blocks for 192 apartment units. Rezoning To appropriate zones to permit the development of 3 storey, 12 unit " garden flat" apartment buildings, semi detached dwellings on 18.0 metre lots; and single detached dwellings on 11.3 metre and 12.0 metre lots. 1.3 Area: 6.66 ha 1.4 Location: The subject lands are located on the west side of Prestonvale Road, north of Bloor Street and west of Meadowglade Road (Attachment 1). 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 The subject property was draft approved as a secondary school block which the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board opted not to pursue. The applicant then submitted Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Plan of Subdivision applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision S-C-2007-0007. The plan was approved in October 2008 for 90 singles and a block for 66 townhouse units. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 3 2.2 In July 2009, the applicant submitted a site plan application (SPA 2009-0014) for the townhouse block. The proposal consisted of 66 block townhouses with units fronting onto Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road with garages at the rear of the units. It also incorporated three amenity areas totalling 0.13 hectares, including a landscape feature at the corner of Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road. The relevant departments and agencies had completed their review of the first submission and comments were provided. 2.3 On September 7, 2011, Prestonvale Heights Limited submitted applications to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 and Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision S-C-2007-0007. In order to address urban design concerns identified by Staff, the applicant submitted a revised plan, accompanied by an Official Plan Amendment application on April 18, 2012. 2.4 The following chart illustrates the differences between the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivisions of October 2008 (Attachment 2), the 2011 proposal (Attachment 3) and the current proposal (Attachment 4).

The studies are summarized in Section 7 of this report. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 4 3. LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject site is currently vacant. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School South - Residential and a newly constructed commercial plaza East - Agricultural and single detached dwellings West - Residential 4. PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement 4.1.1 The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy, liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs. 4.1.2 Policy related to Settlement Areas, states that new development shall occur adjacent to built up areas and shall have compact form, a mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services. 4.1.3 The Housing Policies state that Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are designated. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are, or will be available. A full range of housing types and densities shall be provided to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area. 4.1.4 Infrastructure and public service facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient and cost effective manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for growth so that they are available to meet current and projected needs. The use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized where feasible before considering developing new infrastructure and public service facilities. 4.1.5 Transportation systems should be provided which are safe, energy efficient, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and are appropriate to address projected needs. A land use pattern, density and mix of uses should be provided that minimize the length and number of vehicle trips and supports the development of viable choices and plans for public transit. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 5 4.1.6 The application is consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as it is proposing a mix of low and high density housing. The subject lands are adjacent to the existing built-up area and will make use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan 4.2.1 The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing population growth to settlement areas. The subject lands are outside of the 'built boundary' and are considered 'greenfield area'. Growth is to be accommodated by building compact, transit-supportive communities in designated greenfield areas and by reducing dependence on the automobile through the development of mixed use, pedestrian-friendly environments. Growth shall also be directed to areas that offer municipal water and wastewater systems. Municipalities should establish an urban open space system within built up areas which may include communal courtyards and public parks. The Provincial Growth Plan has set a minimum density target that is not less than 50 residents per hectare in the Greenfield areas. This proposal achieves this minimum requirement. The application conforms to the Provincial Growth Plan. 5. OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands designated as Living Area permit the development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure. Regional Council shall support the review of development proposals currently in the approval process, to encourage higher densities where appropriate and promote area municipal official plans to maximize permissible densities for vacant lands. Regional Official Plan Amendment 128 (Growing Durham) has identified Bloor Street as a Regional Corridor. This designation was established to promote public transit ridership through well designed developments that have a mix of uses at higher densities. Development shall be sensitive to urban design considerations and shall be oriented to the corridor, complemented by the consolidation of access points. Regional Corridors shall have higher density mixed use areas that support higher order transit services and pedestrian oriented development. A long term density target of 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index of 2.4 is to be supported. The built form should be a wide variety of building forms, generally mid-rise in height with some higher buildings. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 6 The proposed uses conforms to the Plan and Amendment 128. Amendment 128 has been approved by Regional Council and is under consideration by the Ontario Municipal Board. The Regional Corridor designation on the subject lands is not in dispute. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan In the Clarington Official Plan the subject lands are designated as Urban Residential with a Medium Density Residential Symbol. The lands are within the Penfound Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 3950 and a housing unit target of 1400, including 150 medium density units. The applicant is requesting to amend the land use schedule to replace the medium density symbol with a high density symbol, increase the population allocation to 4050, reduce the medium density units to 75 and add 200 high density units. The goals of the South-West Courtice Secondary Plan are to provide a residential living environment that promotes a desirable quality of life and social interaction; and to provide a broad range of housing to meet evolving needs of current and future residents. Clarington Official Plan Amendment 77, approved by Council, introduced Urban Design policies for Corridors. The built form in part, is to be designed to: • Have buildings sited near the street line to contribute to a sense of enclosure and a strong street edge; • Locate main building entrances that are visible and directly accessible from the public sidewalk of the main street; • Enhance the built environment with attention to massing, building articulation, architectural detail, the use of local materials and styles; • Enhance the pedestrian environment. Policies for Sustainable Design have also been introduced which promote higher densities to efficiently utilize existing infrastructure. Integration of transit into the early stages of new development is also promoted. 6. ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Within the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, the lands are zoned a mix of residential zones to implement the 2008 Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision. A Zoning By-law amendment will be required in order to implement the proposed amendment to draft approval. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 7 7. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND STUDIES 7.1 The Planning Justification Report Prepared by Sernas Associates the Planning Justification Report states that the proposed development will have a high quality appearance facing Bloor Street, Prestonvale Road, Meadowglade Road, and the internal streets. The buildings will be paired with shared underground parking which allows for generous landscaping in the front, back and many of the sides of the buildings. The height and form of the proposed apartment's buildings would be classified as Medium Density. However, because the development utilizes below grade parking, the unit yield per hectare is higher than the maximum 60 units per hectare for medium density specified in the Official Plan. The proposed density is 90 units per hectare. The proposal will introduce high density units to the Penfound Neighbourhood. The apartment blocks will contain three parkettes and amenity areas in each block. Public walkways will connect the balance of the development to the intersections at Bloor and Meadowglade and Bloor and Prestonvale. The outdoor amenity area provided is 22.3 m2/unit which exceeds the Clarington Amenity Guideline requirements of 4M2/unit. The guidelines recommend 2 m2/unit of indoor amenity area although none is provided due to the size of each building and their unique design. The front doors of the garden flats will be connected to the sidewalk via short walkways similar to a single detailed home creating a pedestrian-oriented environment. (see Attachment 6). 7.2 The Noise Impact Study Update Prepared by YCA Engineering Limited the Noise Impact Study Update recommends 1.8 metre barriers for Lot 1, the Amenity Nodes within Blocks 60, 61 and 62 and for the Central Parkette between Blocks 61 and 62. A combination of noise fencing, berms and alternative "living wall" construction is proposed. Air conditioning will be required for the south unit in Block 60 and for all units within Blocks 61 and 62. Provisions for air conditioning will be required for lots 1, 20, 21, remaining units in Block 60 and for all units within block 63. 7.3 The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Prepared by Golder Associates the Phase I Environment Site Assessment concluded that there are no issues of potential environmental concerns with the subject lands. 8. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject property and a public meeting notice was installed on the property in the centre of each street frontage. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 8 8.2 At the time of the writing of this report, three residents contacted the Planning Services Department to identify the following concerns: • Concerned that 1.25 parking spaces per apartment unit is not adequate in an area without good transit. Little arrangement for street level parking. • Not enough enforcement of parking on local streets and student drop-off at Dr. G.J. MacGillvray Public School. • Where will construction workers park? They are currently double parking on Partner Drive and sometimes blocking the street to hold conversations. • Concerned with young children's safety crossing Bloor Street to get to the school and Roswell Park. Bloor Street will be busier with 261 additional units. There are no parks north of Bloor Street. • Dr. G.J. MacGillvray Public School is full and although this concern rests with the School Board, it is a community concern. • Area is not readily accessible without a personal vehicle. There are no grocery stores or banks within walking distance. Transit only runs at peak times. Proposal would be better for Bloor and Townline, or Trulls Road and Highway 2, where commercial area and better transit is accessible. • Most single car garage homes cannot park two vehicles in their driveways and garages leaving one on the street most of the time. The one on the street will fill up with spaces for visitors. • Disappointed notices only sent out to the area within 120 metres of the property. • No consideration to the increased traffic at the corner has been made for the many residents south of Bloor Street. • 16 three storey buildings will create the appearance of a fortress. • School Board should buy the parcel for expansion and additional parking. • Property values will drop. • Lower quality of homes will encourage vandalism. • Concerned that the proposed development will become a rental housing project. 9. AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 The application has been circulated to the appropriate agencies for comment. 9.2 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board advised that the proposal will generate up to 19 elementary students for Dr. G. J. MacGillvray Public School and up to 12 secondary students to Courtice Secondary School. Minor and Major overland stormwater drainage flows from the subject draft plan are to be self-contained and are not to enter the adjoining elementary school site. The existing 1.8 metre high galvanized chain link fence around the elementary school site is not to be altered or removed prior to, during and post construction of the subject subdivision. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 9 In consideration of the number of units proposed, the Municipality of Clarington should investigate proposed traffic levels, turning movements and peak times and if necessary require traffic control sign(s) and/or traffic calming measures at the proposed intersection of Meadowglade Road/Partner Drive/Cale Avenue and along Meadowglade Road. Meadowglade Road has: • A curvilinear design with four existing street intersections between Prestonvale Road and Bloor Street; • A signed student crossing at Meadowglade Road and Robert Adams Drive; and • Dr. G. J. MacGillivray Public School is our largest elementary school in terms of enrolment (2011/2012 Average Daily Enrolment is 777.25, and is projected to increase in enrolment). 9.3 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) have no objections to the proposed revisions. CLOCA conditions of draft approval from October 2008 remain applicable. 10. STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 Clarington Emergency Services and the Clarington Building Division have no concerns or objections with the proposed application. 10.2 Clarington Operations Services advised that snow storage will be required and shall represent a minimum of 2% of the vehicular travelled portion of the site. The designated snow storage area shall be shown on the plans and signed accordingly. When refining the landscape plans, ensure that the trees and shrubs do not block sight lines from the intersections, driveways and parking lots. The applicant will be required to light the public walkways. 10.3 Clarington Engineering Services The Clarington Engineering Services Department has reviewed the proposal and requires that the following comments be addressed to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services prior to final approval of the subject applications: • A traffic impact study must be submitted which clearly outlines the impact of the traffic generated by this site on the adjacent road network. The study must include an analysis of a.m. and p.m. peak periods which coincide with the school-in and school-out times of the adjacent public school. The study must clearly define recommended improvements to ensure that no additional traffic congestion occurs in the area of this development. This study may be subject to a peer review to ensure that all factors affecting traffic in this area have been accounted for and that all recommendations are appropriate for the road network. • A parking plan must be submitted which demonstrates that there is sufficient on-site and on-street parking to accommodate the proposed number of units. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 10 • A grading and drainage plan and stormwater management brief must be submitted which demonstrates that minor and major runoff is controlled in accordance with the Robinson Creek Master Drainage Study. Additional comments and observations relating to the detailed design of the development will be provided to the applicant. 10. 4 The applicant has submitted the current proposal, in part, to address staff concerns with the 2011 proposal (Attachment 3) compared with the 2008 Draft Approved Plan (Attachment 2) which were: • Increased infrastructure with fewer housing units. The road network increased by an additional 383 metres while the unit count dropped by 10; • Addition of a window street parallel to Bloor Street would set back the housing from the arterial street and would act as a primary visitor parking area leading to a less attractive street edge; and • 2.1 metre high noise fence with a 0.3 metre berm for units flanking Bloor Street. 10.5 The current proposal addresses the above by: • The road network increases in length over the 2008 Draft Approved Plan due to the deletion of the block townhouses but has decreased by 204 metres from the 2011 proposal. • Removal of the Window Street and provision of a built form that addresses the streets on all sides of the development. • The siting of the proposed 3 storey, 12 unit garden flats has allowed for a reduction in the height of the noise barriers. There is no need for a barrier at the corner of Bloor and Meadowglade. This area is now open for a landscaped Amenity Area. The applicant is proposing to incorporate a living wall into the required noise barriers which will add to the landscape elements (See Attachment 5). 10.6 The proposed plan supports the density objectives of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan and Regional Official Plan Amendment 128 (Growing Durham). Developments that support higher densities are encouraged in order to develop communities that are both pedestrian and transit oriented. The proposed plan will increase the population by 81 persons from what was approved in 2008. 10.7 To acknowledge the Regional Corridor Designation, the Clarington Official Plan has been amended through OPA 77 to introduce Urban Design Policies for Corridors. The proposal has adhered to these policies by: • Siting the buildings close to the street edge; and • Providing public walkways through the apartment blocks to provide pedestrian access to the internal lots. Additional architectural details will be reviewed through the Site Plan approval process. REPORT NO.: PSD-027-12 Page 11 10.8 The Residential Density Standards contained in Table 9-1 of the Clarington Official Plan permits low rise apartments up to 4 storeys in height within the Medium Density Designation. Low rise apartments are permitted, provided the net density does not exceed 60 units per net hectare. The current application proposes 90 units per net hectare. The higher density can be attributed to the efficient use of space through the provision of underground parking. If surface parking was provided instead the garden flats would comply with the medium density residential designation. 10.9 Municipal Staff are aware of neighbourhood concerns with traffic congestion associated with Dr. G.J. MacGillvray Public School, which is the largest school in the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board system and contains 9 portables. Municipal staff has been working with the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board, and the Durham Regional Police Services to develop a solution to this existing issue. The applicant will be submitting a Traffic Study in support of their proposal. The purpose of the study will be to analyze the potential impacts of the proposed development on the street network. 10.10 Staff will consider residents concerns through detailed review of the application, together with comments from all agencies and departments, and a review of all applicable policies. These will be detailed in a future recommendation report for Committee and Council's consideration. 11. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 12. CONCLUSION 12.1 The purpose of this report is to satisfy the Public Meeting requirements under the Planning Act and taking into consideration the outstanding comments, staff respectfully request that this report be received and for staff to continue processing the application including the preparation of a subsequent report under resolution of the identified issues.
