Crome, MCIP, RPP F arik m Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer PW /COS /df 16 May 2012 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 EMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905 - 623 -3379 REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 APPLICATION DETAILS PAGE 2 1.1 Owner /Applicant: 1331030 Ontario Inc. 1.2 Proposal: To permit a personal service shop (hair salon and day spa) 1.3 Area: 0.4 Ha 1.4 Location: 170 Liberty Street South, Bowmanville 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 The subject property is located within the island formed by the interchange of Liberty Street South and Provincial Highway 401 in the south end of Bowmanville. The Applicant's property contains an existing 5 -unit commercial plaza at the south end of this site while the property at the north end of this-site is occupied by the Howard Johnson hotel /motel. 2.2 Site Plan approval was granted on April 1993 for the construction of a 789 m2 commercial plaza on the subject property. Building permits were issued for the construction of the commercial plaza later that year. Following the construction and occupancy of the commercial plaza the subject site was severed from the hotel /motel portion of the property in July of 1994. Due to the access limitations enforced by the Region of Durham, the newly severed lot was required to utilize the existing access to Liberty Street South located on the hotel /motel property. An access easement was jointly approved with the severance granting access for the commercial plaza property to the existing Liberty Street South entrance. 2.3 The existing plaza is currently occupied by five eating establishments (restaurants). The Owner has stated that they anticipate that two of the tenants will vacate the plaza shortly providing space for new uses. The Owner believes that the size of the existing units and the close proximity to competing restaurants within the same plaza makes the replacement of the outgoing restaurants with new ones unsustainable. Therefore, the Owner is seeking to expand the list of permitted uses to include a hair salon and day spa in order to diversify the tenant base. 2.4 On March 16, 2012, 1331030 Ontario Inc. submitted an application to permit a personal service shop (hair salon and day spa) within the existing plaza on the site. AM REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 PAGE 3 3. LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 FIGURE 1 This property is readily accessible to vehicular traffic going to and coming from Highway 401. Liberty Street, a Type 'B' Arterial roadway provides local north -south traffic flow through Bowmanville, while Baseline Road, a Type 'A' Arterial roadway, provides one of the primary means of travel for local east -west traffic through Bowmanville. Pedestrian access to the property is available from a sidewalk located along Liberty Street South. REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Commercial (Howard Johnson hotel /motel) South - Highway 401 East - Clarington Tourism /Clarington Board of Trade and low- density residential West - Commercial (TSC Store) 4. PROVINCIAL POLICY PAGE 4 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) promotes efficient land use patterns while at the same time avoiding harmful impacts upon both public health and the environment. The PPS encourages the use of intensification and redevelopment to broaden the appropriate mix and range of employment uses. All of these goals are to be achieved within existing settlement areas and in a manner which minimizes land consumption and servicing costs. The Applicant's proposed repurposing of the existing commercial plaza, by extending the list of permitted uses to include a personal service shop, will not place a greater burden on existing Municipal infrastructure. This application does not conflict with the Provincial Policy Statement. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The Provincial Growth Plan (Growth Plan) directs new growth to built -up areas where sufficient capacity exists to accommodate this growth in a compact and efficient form. One of the Growth Plan's preferred means of achieving that growth is through the intensification of existing sites, including the introduction of new uses, such as is being proposed by this application. One of the Growth Plan's goals is to optimize existing land supply in an effort to better utilize existing municipal services. This application does not conflict with the Provincial Growth Plan. 5. OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan 5.1.1 The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Living Areas ". Limited retailing of goods and services is permitted as components of mixed use developments provided that the function of Local Centres (known as Neighbourhood Centres within the Clarington Official Plan) are not adversely affected. 8 -4 REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 PAGE 5 5.1.2 The Region of Durham has deemed that this application conforms with the Durham Regional Official Plan. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan 5.2.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Highway Commercial ". The abutting roads (Baseline Road — Type "A" Arterial, Liberty Street South — Type "B" Arterial) are intended to carry higher volumes of traffic through Bowmanville. 5.2.2 Lands designated as "Highway Commercial" are intended to serve the specialized needs of residents on an occasional basis. "Highway Commercial" areas are located on the edge of high - volume transportation corridors and are intended to be patronized almost exclusively by vehicular traffic due to their physical separation from residential areas and the absence of day -to -day retail and service uses. 5.2.3 Uses identified as permitted by the Clarington Official Plan include: • motor vehicle sales and service establishments; • home improvement centres; • large format home furnishing stores and other similar large format retailers; • garden centres and nurseries; • restaurants; • motels; • hotels; and • service stations. These uses typically require larger parcels of land to accommodate their business operations (which may include outdoor storage and display) and provide visibility to high volumes of traffic. In further clarifying the permitted uses the "Highway Commercial" policies specifically exclude those uses which may be frequented by residents on a regular basis such as: department stores, food stores and banks, and which do not otherwise reinforce the goals of the "Highway Commercial" designation. 5.2.4 Further discussion on the conformance of the Owner's proposed amendment with the Clarington Official Plan is contained in Section 9 of Report PSD- 026 -12. 6. ZONING BY -LAW 6.1 Zoning By -law 84 -63 zones the subject lands "Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C5 -4)" and "Environmental Protection (EP) ". 6.2 The "Environmental Protection (EP)" zone, located along the east side of the site, is the result of the property's proximity to the floodplain of the Soper Creek. No portion of the existing building or parking area are within the "EP" portion of the property. 6.3 Up until September, 1984, this property was zoned "Commercial (C)" within the Town of Bowmanville Zoning By -law No. 1587. The "Commercial (C)" zone was a broad commercial category which permitted commercial uses that are today associated with 8_5 REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 PAGE 6 the "General Commercial (Cl) Zone" (i.e. restaurant, bank, retail store, office, hotel, etc.). The "Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C5 -4)" zone was created in 1984 as part of the consolidation of Zoning By -laws from Darlington, Bowmanville, Clarke and Newcastle. The "C54' zone limited commercial uses on this property to: • an eating establishment; • an eating establishment take -out; • a hotel; and • a motor vehicle fuel bar. The Applicant is requesting that personal service shop (hair salon and day spa), be added to the list of currently permitted uses on the property. 6.4 A personal service shop is defined as: "a building or part of a building in which persons are employed in furnishing services, conducting limited retailing of goods associated with the service and otherwise administering to the individual and personal needs of persons, such as a barber's shop, a ladies hairdressing establishment or other similar services." In addition to a hair salon and day spa, other uses which would be permitted under the definition of personal service shop include: barber; and aesthetician. The proposed day spa use may include aesthetics, tanning and massages performed by Registered Massage Therapists. No overnight accommodation would be permitted under the understanding of day spa. 7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and one public meeting notice sign was installed on the property, on the Liberty Street South road frontage. The public notice was also posted on the Municipal website and in the Planning Services electronic newsletter. 7.2 At the writing of this report, Staff had received no inquiries regarding this application. 8. AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 No objections to this application were received from any of the circulated departments or agencies. AW REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 PAGE 7 8.2 The Finance Department has confirmed that the taxes on the subject property have been paid up -to -date. 9. STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The proposed personal service shop (hair salon and day spa) will be contained within the existing commercial plaza. No changes to the building or the parking area are envisioned as a result of this proposal other than minor facade improvements to accommodate new tenants. By adding diversity to the list of permitted land uses for this property, the Applicant intends to keep the existing plaza fully tenanted and prevent one or more of the units from being left vacant for a prolonged period of time. 9.2 Area Context The subject property is located along two arterial roads, a Provincial highway and the associated -on -ramp and off -ramp to that highway. Together with the hotel /motel development to the north the subject site forms part of a commercial block. This commercial block is served by a single commercial entrance onto Liberty Street South. Due to the proximity of the major roadways, and the minimal landscaping around the perimeter of the site, the area surrounding the existing commercial plaza is subject to a lot of road noise and is open to the elements. The existing restaurants within the plaza serve the various needs of industrial park employees, local residents and hotel /motel visitors to this area. Since the site possesses sub -par pedestrian connections (the sidewalk is located beside the curb, the sidewalk does not connect major pedestrian destinations) it is likely that vehicular travel is the primary mode of transportation for patrons to this site. This travel pattern is characteristic of typical "Highway Commercial" properties which are intended to serve customers from a broader, regional catchment area on an occasional basis. 9.3 Conformity with the Official Plan Personal service shop (hair salon and day spa) is not a use that is typical within the "Highway Commercial" designation. "Highway Commercial" uses are commonly identified by the following criteria: • Requiring large parcels of land for their building and associated parking; • May require outdoor storage or display of goods and materials; and • Usually benefit from access to high - volume transportation corridors in order to attract customers from a larger catchment area. Personal service shops do not require any of the above criteria in order to operate and hence are not specifically identified as a "Highway Commercial" use in the Clarington Official Plan. However, like restaurants, a hair salon and day spa would be supportive of the adjacent hotel /motel use which is a clearly permitted use within the "Highway Commercial" designation. 8 -7 REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 PAGE 8 The subject property is small by the standards of land area commonly associated with "Highway Commercial" uses. A 0.4 ha site would not be large enough to accommodate the main types of "Highway Commercial" use. Similar to the restaurants which are already permitted on the subject property, personal service shops are service uses. Given the proximity to Howard Johnson Hotel they could be a supportive use for the hotel's patrons. While it would not be appropriate for a full.range of commercial uses, it is Staff's opinion that the proposed personal service shop use is minor in nature and. does not impact the planned function of the designation. 9.4 Commercial Context The subject site is located over 1,100 metres from the Bowmanville East Town Centre (Liberty Street and Queen Street) and over 2,100 metres from the closest Neighbourhood Centre (Waverley Road and Quinn Drive). Throughout Clarington, and in Bowmanville in particular, personal service shops are currently permitted to operate in the majority of commercial and residential areas. It is thereby evident that the nature of personal service shop use is not geographically sensitive in its own right. Adding zoning permission for the operation of a hair salon and day spa on the subject property is not expected to hinder the operation of similar uses elsewhere in the community. Therefore, it is Staff's opinion that the inclusion of personal service shop (hair salon and day spa), to the list of permitted uses for this site, would not be in conflict with any other commercially designated site in Bowmanville. 9.5 Parking & Loading The site currently offers 44 parking spaces (including one barrier -free parking space) and 2 loading spaces. It is anticipated that the parking needs of the proposed hair salon and day spa will not exceed those of the current restaurant uses. In addition, a hair salon and spa will not require regular or prolonged use of the on -site loading areas. Therefore, it is Staff's opinion that the replacement of one or more of the existing restaurants, in favour of a personal service shop, will not inhibit the safe and efficient operation of traffic on this site. 9.6 In view of the preceding comments, it is Staff's opinion that the subject application is: • Minor in nature; • In conformity with the Clarington Official Plan; • Will not detract from the character and operation of the existing "Highway Commercial" or surrounding areas; and • Represents good planning in the best interest of the community and the Municipality. REPORT NO.: PSD- 026 -12 PAGE 9 10. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 11. CONCLUSION 11.1 This application proposes to add personal service shop to the list of permitted uses on the subject property. Provided there are no significant issues raised at the Public Meeting and based on the comments in this report, it is recommended that the rezoning application submitted by 1331030 Ontario Inc. be approved, and that the draft Zoning By -law Amendment, as contained in Attachment 2 to Report PSD- 026 -12, be passed.

PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement Page 4 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. 8 -15 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. S. 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. 8 -16 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. 8 -17 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 Publid 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. 8 -20 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. 8 -21 REPORT NO.: PSD- 027 -12 Paae 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.

SUBDIVISIONS 2.1 Approval of Draft Plans of Subdivision is delegated to the Director of Planning Services. However, the Planning Services Department reports to Council on applications for subdivision approval at the public meeting stage and when draft approval is recommended for an application for proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision. The following chart identifies activity related to the subdivision application process. Specifically the chart identifies; how many new applications were received during the first period of 2012; how many applications were issued Draft Approval; how many previously Draft Approved applications were resubmitted with a revised proposal; how many previously Draft Approved proposals were approved with a revised concept and conditions and how many registrations took place. 8 -37 REPORT NO.: PSD- 028 -12 PAGE 3 The above table is a summary of-subdivision activity by geographic area for the first four months of 2012.

Final plan approval was issued for one subdivision in Bowmanville comprising 53 single detached units and 14 street townhouse units. 3.0 CONDOMINIUMS Condominium applications are for a type of housing tenure where a specific part of land or building is individually owned while use of, and access to, common facilities and operations is controlled by the association of owners that jointly represent ownership of the whole piece. Condominiums typically consist of townhouses and apartment buildings. Condominium applications are usually considered following site plan approval of a development. The following table shows the condominium activity for the first period of 2012 by geographic area. See Attachment 2 for more details on the condominium applications.

SITE PLANS 6.1 The Clarington Site Plan Control By -law requires that plans and drawings for the majority of buildings or structures proposed in the Municipality receive site plan approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Site plan approval is generally required for a proposed development to ensure a comprehensive design review of the location of buildings, landscaping, access locations, servicing and grading, stormwater management, etc., by all regulatory authorities. A total of nine (9) Site Plan applications were received and one (1) 2011 application was resubmitted during the first four months of 2012. Five (5) applications have been approved.

MINOR VARIANCES 7.1 The Committee of Adjustment is appointed by Council to make decisions on minor variances to the Municipality's Zoning By -law. For the first four months, three (3) Committee of Adjustment meetings were held and a total of 10 applications were heard (three applications were withdrawn). One (1) application was tabled mainly because staff and the applicant were in disagreement about a particular issue and further investigation was required. A total of 10 applications were approved, one of which was approved with conditions. No appeals were registered against the Committee's decision. Details of the minor variance applications are described in Attachment 5.

LAND DIVISION 8.1 The Planning Services Department provides comments to the Durham Region Land Division Committee on consent applications. The Planning Department provides coordinated comments for all Clarington departments. The comments in support of an application detail conditions of approval to be satisfied. After an application has been approved, applicants have one year to fulfill conditions. During that time applicants continue to work with staff to fulfill the conditions. Once all conditions are met, a clearance letter is provided to the Region of Durham. During the first period of 2012, Planning Staff provided comments to the Durham Regional Land Division Committee on 10 new Land Division applications. Details of the land division applications are described in Attachment 6.

Additionally, one Sign By -law Amendment application was received and approved for an increase in area of a pylon sign for a multi- tenant retail plaza in Bowmanville. 11. APARTMENT -IN -HOUSE 11.1 The Municipality requires that all residents who request to convert a portion of their home to an apartment must apply for an apartment -in -house certificate in addition to a building permit application. An apartment -in -house application provides the Emergency Services Department with an opportunity to ensure the residential unit complies with the Fire Code and is on their data base, as well as ensuring apartments are zoned appropriately and that sufficient parking is provided on the lot. Second suite apartments are not permitted in Orono or in rural and hamlet areas due to servicing constraints. The table below shows apartment -in -house activity by geographic area. For the four months of 2012, three (3) apartment -in -house applications were received and two (2) apartment -in -house applications became registered. Apartments can only become registered once construction has finished and final occupancy has been granted from the building department. All of the applications received and registered were for new basement apartments. 8 -43 REPORT NO.: PSD- 028 -12 PAG E 9 Apartment -in -House Activity Applications Received Applications Registered Year to Date EReceived Registered Bowmanville 1 2 1 Courtice 1 1 1 1 Newcastle 1 1 1 1 Total 3 2 3 2 12. PRE - CONSULTATION MEETINGS 12.1 Pre - consultation meetings are held before a development application is submitted. Prospective development applicants consult with municipal and agency staff prior to their formal application submission. Council adopted a by- law requiring a pre - consultation meeting must be held for all Official Plan Amendments, Zoning By -law Amendments, Draft Plans of Subdivision, Draft Plans of Condominium and Site Plan applications. During the pre - consultation meeting the applicant is made aware of the process for the specific application(s) proposed. Through this meeting, the requirements of all municipal departments and agencies includes detailing the number and type of studies, technical reports and drawings that will be required, as well as the appropriate fees involved.

Of the 18 pre - consultation meetings held, a total of 2 planning applications were submitted. Some proponents may never submit an application following a preconsultation meeting as a result of costs or other factors. Often applicants do not submit their application for a number of months while technical studies are completed and plans are revised based on the comments received at the meeting. 8 -44 REPORT NO.: PSD- 028 -12 PAGE 10 Proposed major residential developments represent the highest number of meetings. Industrial and commercial proposals combined, comprise 38.9% of the meetings. In terms of geographic area, 50% of all pre - consultation meetings held during the first period were for development proposals within the Bowmanville Urban Area. Pre - consultation meetings provide a good indication_ of future proposals within the Municipality of Clarington. 13. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable 14. CONCLUSION 14.1 The Planning Services Department continues to see a strong interest in development applications, indicating a strong growth potential in the coming years. As the periodic report progresses, it will become easier to compare and determine the future growth for Clarington, as well as provide an opportunity to recognize improvements that can be made in the planning and processing stages. This report does not capture the many other applications currently in process from previous years.

The theme of the Project is to protect public water services and challenge the bottled water industry. A "blue community" is a community that adopts the water commons framework which states that water belongs to no one and is the responsibility of all. This is accomplished by: 1.) Recognizing water as a human right. 2.) Promoting publicly financed, owned, and operated water and waste water services. 3.) Banning the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at municipal events. 2.0 RECOGNIZING WATER AS A HUMAN RIGHT 2.1 The recognition of water as a human right — Canada would ensure that all people living in this country are legally entitled to sufficient quantities of safe, clean drinking water and would require that access inequalities be addressed immediately. Currently water is not officially recognized as a human right by the Federal Government. By endorsing water as a human right, Clarington would support that all residents have equal access to adequate supply of safe, clean water, provide residents with information on their water supply and operation of their water services, and promote water conservation and source protection to enhance water quality and quantity. 2.2 The Region of Durham water service, which services 22,601 homes in Clarington, is subject to on -line testing, continual sampling and readouts, and daily testing for bacteriological quality. The Region's water system is maintained in accordance with the Provincial Drinking Water System Regulation 170/03. Durham's municipal water service is the first in Ontario to be accredited to all three relevant ISO standards and water quality reports are made available to the public on an annual basis. 10 -2 REPORT NO.: OPD -005 -12 3.0 CURRENT USE OF BOTTLED WATER PAGE 3 3.1 Each Municipal Department was contacted to inquire about the various functions that they offered / that used bottled water and plastic cutlery and plates. We received information that twenty eight municipal hosted events provided bottled water and used plastic cutlery. These events include staff appreciation day, long term service awards, accessibility and customer service training, Council budget workshops, etc. It was also noticed that many of the kitchenettes throughout the Municipal Administrative Centre have bottled water in it for personal use. 4.0 THE IMPACTS TO BANNING BOTTLED WATER IN MUNICIPALLY OPERATED BUILDINGS 4.1 Staff has contacted all volunteer hall boards and arena boards whose building is supplied by the regional municipal water service. This includes six community halls and two arenas; the majority offers bottled water at their events. The concerns raised include loss of revenue, capital cost for installation of fountains and maintenance, etc. 4.2 Staff met briefly with the Library Director and discussed the proposed ban for the Municipal Administrative Centre. She indicated that she was in agreement in principle with the banning of bottled water, however not in favour of providing for a water fountain in the library area.- 4.3 It is recommended that all municipal buildings operated by volunteer boards be advised of Council's direction and be encouraged to investigate ways of reducing the use of bottled water and to follow the proposed policy when and if feasible. The proposed policy will not apply to the remaining community buildings that operate on a well water supply. 4.4 It should be noted that bottled water at GPA and Council meetings has been discontinued for the past five years. Bottled water dispensers have been phased out in the Municipal Administrative Centre during the past several years. 10 -3 REPORT NO.: OPD- 005 -12 PAGE 4 5.0 IMPACTS TO BANNING BOTTLED WATER IN MUNICIPALLY OPERATED RECREATION FACILITIES 5.1 Should Council decide to declare Clarington a "Blue Community" the ban on the sale of bottled water would- apply to all municipally operated recreation facilities. Although the Darlington Sports Centre is on well water supply, recent renovations to the facility include the installation of a chlorination system which would allow this facility to be included in -the program 5.2 The Community Services Department operates concessions in their three arena facilities and provides vending services at all seven indoor recreation facilities. Should Council adopt this program, all bottled water sales through the concessions and vending machines would be discontinued. In order to make municipal tap water easily accessible to patrons in the facilities capital upgrades would be required. This would include the installation of new water bottle fill stations along with the conversion of existing drinking fountains to accommodate water bottle filling. 5.3 The current contract -for the supply of bottled water for both the concessions and vending machines is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2012. If approved, all future contracts would include the provision that bottled water will not be available for sale. 5.4 The Community Services Department also provides catering services for meetings in recreation facilities to both municipal and non - municipal functions. Many of these events include providing bottled water. If this program is adopted department staff will provide pitchers of municipal tap water for these functions. 6.0 BANNING THE USE OF NON - RECYCLABLE UTENSILS AT MUNICIPAL FUNCTIONS INCLUDING FUNCTIONS OF BOARDS AND COMMITTEES 6.1 For the purposes of the report, staff is defining non - recyclable utensils as the following: • Plastic utensils and plates • Styrofoam cups and plates In our survey of municipal departments, it is noted many events provided for the use of plastic cutlery and most of these events use paper plates which can be disposed of in an organic bin program. 10 -4 REPORT NO.: OPD- 005 -12 PAGE 5 6.2 In the Community Services Department concession operations, plastic cutlery is provided for a number of food and beverage items. This includes utensils for french fries, soup, toasted bagels, etc. The use of styrofoam coffee cups and serving trays has been reduced in recent years and ultimately will be eliminated. In some cases alternatives are easily available with little or no impact to operating costs. This could include replacing plastic coffee stir, sticks with wooden sticks. Due to the nature of the concession operation the use of re- usable utensils for patron use is not a feasible solution. Staff will continue to investigate and implement the use of recyclable and bio- degradable products and enhance recycling programs including the introduction of a green bin program in 2013. 6.3 The catering services provided by Community Services currently include the use of non - recyclable utensils. A potential alternative could include the purchase of -dishes, glasses and silverware to be used for both municipal and non - municipal events. The initial cost to provide adequate supplies would impact operating costs. Currently there is no automatic dishwashing equipment in any of our recreation facilities. 6.4 In addition, banquet rentals at our facilities currently provide their own catering services, which may include the use of plastic utensils etc. At this time staff does not recommend any change to current practices for these types of rentals. 7.0 FINANCIAL IMPACT 7.1 If Council was to approve the banning of bottled water in municipally operated buildings, the potential capital upgrades would involve modifying existing water fountains, adding fill stations, installing new water fountains, etc. With our municipally operated recreation facilities the proposed capital upgrade is estimated at $36,000. Attachment #2 indicates the capital costs per municipal facility. The Municipal Administrative Centre is estimated at $6,700. These costs are not included in the 2012 Budget. It is recommended that Council approve these expenditures from the appropriate reserve funds, or refer these expenditures to the 2013 budget process, if it is their intent to declare Clarington a Blue Community. 7.2 Based on current sales, the potential revenue loss for Community Services from the ban of bottled water is estimated at $12,000 including concession sales and- revenue commissions. Upon approval of this program the estimated annual 10 -5 REPORT NO.: OPD- 005 -12 PAGE 6 revenue loss would be reflected in the 2013 operating budget. As well there will be a loss of revenues for the last four months of 2012. 7.3 Enhancement of access to municipal tap water represents an increase in service levels within municipal buildings and recreation buildings affected by the ban. Inspection and cleaning of publicly accessible water fountains and filling stations is critical to maintain safe and appealing conditions. Each installation will require inspection and cleaning twice during a 16 hour operation and each visit will require a minimum of 10 minutes. 7.4 If Council proceeds with the banning of non - recyclable utensils, staff will have to purchase dishes, silverware, and recyclable items for all municipal events. With regard to dishes and silverware, investigation into the purchasing of a dishwasher will be necessary. The cost to supply a set of dishes, glasses and silverware to provide for 100 people is estimated at $1,000. The cost to provide an automatic dishwashing unit is estimated at $17,000. 8.0 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 8.1 If Council should proceed with the banning of bottled water at municipal events and in municipal buildings, all future municipal advertising featuring bottled water will no longer be accepted. 9.0 POLICY TO ELIMINATE THE SALE OF BOTTLED WATER IN FACILITIES 9.1 A corporate policy will be developed if Council approves the banning of bottled water at municipally operated buildings. The policy will include the following: 1.) The sale or distribution of single use bottled water shall be eliminated at all municipally operated buildings and municipal events. 2.) Elimination comes into effect only once access to municipal tap water has been provided and any vendor agreements governing the sale of bottled water have expired. 3.) Access to drinking water is accessible to people with disability. 4.) Bottled water will not be sold or provided at meetings, public open houses, municipal events etc. 5.) The Municipality's Advertising Policy will be amended to disallow any future advertising of bottled water products on municipally owned property. 6.) Exemption to buildings where easy access to region water service does not exist. WIII-1 REPORT NO.: OPD- 005 -12 10.0 COMMUNICATION AND PROMOTION i9_TC]MWA 10.1 If Council chooses to approve the recommendations in the report, an effective communication plan would have to be developed by the Corporate Services Department to highlight tap water. The plan would include signage, media blitz etc. A budget of $7,500 will have to be approved, as part of the 2013 Current Budget. 11.0 COMMENTS 11.1 Staff will continue to work with other partners to promote the use of tap water, reusable containers, and water conservation. Further investigation will occur into creating bottled water free zones within certain Clarington special events. The recommendation to phase out the sale of bottled water is a responsible one. This will be easy to implement in municipally operated facilities, with the appropriate promotion campaign and associated capital upgrades. The banning of the use of non - recyclable utensils is not feasible. Efforts as stated earlier will be made to implement the use of recyclables and biodegradable products in our concession operations. 12.0 CONCURRENCE This report has been reviewed by Joseph Caruana, Director of Community Services; Marie Marano, Director of Corporate Services; Nancy Taylor, Director of Finance.

June is Recreation and Parks Month was launched in 2005 as an initiative of Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO), Ontario Recreation Facilities Association (ORFA) and Ontario Parks Association (OPA). Since that time the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Ontario Public Health Association, Ontario Society of Physical Activity Promoters in Public Health, Ontario Trails Council and the Sport Alliance have also united their efforts to improve the quality of life by promoting the benefits that recreation and parks provide to communities and to Ontario's citizens. 1.2 The goal of Recreation and Parks Month is to increase public awareness of the value and benefits of recreation for individuals, families, neighbourhoods and communities. It is an opportunity to celebrate the success of recreation and parks in contributing to the quality of life in our communities across Ontario. 2.0 BENEFITS OF RECREATION AND PARKS 2.1 There is a great deal of research outlining the benefits of physical activity. If the people in our communities are healthy, happy, and active, the whole community can benefit. 2.2 Participation in both structured and unstructured recreational, sport and cultural activities improves physical, psychological and emotional health. It can also reduce rates of some types of chronic diseases. Recreation services foster social, intellectual, physical and emotional development-. Participation in recreation, sport and cultural activities can reduce self- destructive behaviour and reduce a reliance on other social services. 2.3 Parks, trails, recreation facilities, programs, community cultural and sporting events are key factors in strengthening communities through social interaction, volunteerism, civic pride and aesthetics. 2.4 Recreation increases cultural unity through experiences that promote cultural understanding and celebrate diversity. Equitable access to recreation for all citizens also fosters inclusive and vibrant communities. 3.0 RECREATION AND PARKS MONTH IN CLARINGTON 3.1 During the month of June, the Community Services Department will be celebrating Recreation and Parks Month, encouraging families to get active together. Regardless of how you define "recreation ", it is important to recognize the benefits recreation provides. 12 -2 REPORT NO.: CSD- 007 -12 PAGE 3 3.2 To encourage greater community participation in local programs and events, the Community Services Department is offering a variety of free or low -cost activities in June to celebrate Recreation and Parks Month. Throughout the month of June staff will be visiting local parks on a Neighbourhood Family Fitness Tour (Attachment 1). The tour will reach out to residents in their neighbourhoods providing fun, interactive activities that are low or no cost and require little or no equipment. The tour is a pilot project that in future years can be expanded to include additional park locations. 4.0 COMMENTS 4.1 The Proclamation (Attachment 2) has been developed by Parks and Recreation Ontario (PRO). PRO is requesting municipal Councils show their support for Recreation and Parks by proclaiming June as Recreation and Parks Month. 4.2 Recreation, through physical, social and artistic expression, provides opportunities for individuals to improve their health and wellness, socialize and interact with others, learn new skills, have fun and find balance in their lives. In particular, physical activity and stress reduction are two health issues that researchers identify as benefits of local parks and recreation to public health.

BACKGROUND At the meeting of June 20, 2011, Council approved the following resolution: PAGE 2 "THAT Staff be requested to prepare a report regarding allowing exotic animals to enter the Municipality for educational purposes." Since the passing of the above -cited resolution, Council has also referred correspondence regarding the keeping of pigeons and babydoll sheep to staff as well as delegation comments concerning the keeping of pigs and ferrets in urban areas. Clarington's Exotic Pet By -law 93 -161 was enacted on October 12, 1993 and has only been amended once since its enactment, to address the changes to the Dog Owners' Liability Act requirements regarding restricted breeds. 2. EXOTICS WITHIN CLARINGTON 2.1 Background Since 1993 staff have received the occasional complaint regarding what is and what is not permitted within Clarington. Most often the complaints received suggest that our by -law is too restrictive and complainants believe that the type of animal which they are suggesting should be permitted as they are "gentle ", "won't affect anyone else ", "harmless ", "allowed in other municipalities ", or "my pet ". In fact, however, many of the animals at issue are not gentle, will and can affect the health and safety of the residents of our community, may or may not be permitted in other municipalities, and as reported by the SPCA are often not cared for properly and in many cases the animal ends up abandoned. Most of the exotic animals require very specific environmental controls and feedback from industry experts indicate that sadly, the lay person becomes bored with their pet, or becomes overwhelmed with the burden of keeping the pet, which results in either the pet not being kept properly or a need to surrender. A challenge certainly at this point is finding proper housing for the animal. Our role is to ensure that we provide a regulatory framework which will address the needs of the community as a whole. In researching the issue of exotics in Clarington, staff contacted several field experts including the Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee, Durham Region Humane Society, a swine specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture, an amphibian and reptile specialist, and area pigeon racing clubs. Several other municipalities were also contacted to seek best practices. While much has changed in Clarington over the past 20 years, our community remains a vibrant blend of three major urban centres connected and surrounded by rural areas. This geographic landscape offers our residents a variety of housing choices, unique from other municipalities within Durham Region. 13 -2 REPORT NO.: CLD- 019 -12 2.2 Keeping of Pigeons PAGE 3 Under the existing by -law there are no restrictions on the keeping of pigeons within the Municipality of Clarington. Occasionally staff have received complaints regarding pigeons within the community. Generally the complaints involve the pigeons perching and defecating on property other than the owner's. All municipalities within Durham Region, with the exception of Clarington, allow pigeons but not unconditionally. Generally speaking, the conditions placed on the pigeon owner require that: • Pigeons can only be outside for daily flight • Pigeons must eat within their enclosure (eg. coop, loft, etc.) • The enclosure must be kept in good repair • The enclosure is maintained in a sanitary state with pigeon droppings being regularly disposed • Pigeons must be banded • The owner must be an active member in good standing of a recognized pigeon club Staff met with representatives of the local pigeon clubs to better understand the pigeon needs and the activities relative to pigeon racing and sought their feedback on the draft proposed standards for the keeping of pigeons. Staff is recommending that the by -law be amended to regulate the keeping of pigeons to incorporate those conditions stated above as well as requirements pertaining to owner membership with a recognized pigeon organization; containment of the pigeons; and limiting the number of pigeons permitted within non - agriculturally zoned lands based on a maximum of 10 pigeons per 1.0 square metre of loft space. All local organizations have confirmed they are in support of the proposed draft changes. 2.3 Livestock Within Residential Areas Clarington's current Exotic Pet By -law permits the keeping, of livestock animals only on agriculturally zoned land where the size of land is at least five acres. Within Durham Region, pot - bellied pigs are also not permitted in urban areas in Oshawa, Ajax, and Whitby. No municipalities in Durham Region permit the keeping of sheep in urban areas. Recently staff have received one request to keep "baby doll sheep" and two requests to keep pot - bellied pigs or "miniature /tea cup" pigs within the residential areas within Clarington. The keeping of livestock, specifically sheep and pigs, within the urban areas of Clarington was discussed with the Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee (CAAC). While the Committee did not pass a resolution regarding pigs in urban 13 -3 REPORT NO.: CLD- 019 -12 PAGE 4 areas, as they believed this to be outside of their mandate, there was a general consensus that the keeping of sheep would be most inappropriate as they are companion animals and need to be a part of a flock, require a significant amount of care, require space for grazing, and would be imposing on neighbours. The Committee, however, in considering pigs in the urban area, felt that generally speaking they are quiet and clean animals that would not be imposing on neighbours and could potentially make a good pet. While the swine expert with the Ministry of Natural Resources and other resources agreed with the comments of the CAAC, they did raise other issues to be considered including breed control, size, safety, security, and herding instincts. (a) Breed Standards & Size — Unlike with dogs where the size and characteristics are standardized by breed, there are no breed standards for pot - bellied pigs or miniature /tea cup pigs, which creates one of the most significant issues. Unsuspecting people acquire their "pet" pig thinking it will remain small. This is often not the case. According to the swine expert, the pigs tend to grow to the extent of their nutritional ability. In other countries, where food is not readily available to these types of animals, the pigs stay small, perhaps 15 -25 lbs. In Canada, however, where food and nutrition is readily available, the pigs grow much bigger and can exceed 900 lbs. (b) Care and Safety — Pigs require a different type of care than traditional pets, and as such, resources to assist in caring for the pig may not be as readily available. For example, a dog owner has several options for care should the owner be away on vacation. The pig owner may find it difficult to find an option for care for the pig. (c) Herding Instincts — Pigs are by nature, a very social herding animal and therefore stresses can trigger their strong defensive instincts. To quote the swine expert, the pig will "defend its turf to the death ". While this may sound rather dramatic, coupled with the significant size of the adult pigs, a stressed pig could pose a safety threat. A swine specialist vet was also contacted, and he confirmed that pigs would not pose any zoonotic (ie. infectious disease) threat to the community if kept in an urban setting. In addition to contacting the industry experts and other area municipalities, staff reviewed and contemplated the significant amount of information received by the Brunelle/Willoughby family; who are promoting the keeping of pigs within the urban areas of Clarington. Clarington Animal Services currently provides services to our community including enforcement of animal related by -laws, sheltering of strays, adoptions, and public education. These services deal primarily with domestic animals (ie dogs and cats), 13 -4 REPORT NO.: CLD- 019 -12 PAGE 5 but may also provide advice and recommendations pertaining to wildlife and exotic animals. In reviewing with our Animal Services Officers the possibility of permitting sheep and /or pigs to be kept within the urban areas of our community, in addition to the concerns discussed earlier in this report, Officers raised concerns that if pigs are permitted it is a reasonable expectation that requests for other livestock will soon follow and create further challenges in assessing suitability, property size, impact on neighbours, and safety for the community and the animals. Our current level of training and expertise does not include livestock, and to permit livestock within the urban areas would either necessitate additional training, accommodations to be acquired /built to house and keep stray livestock, or would increase the level of service currently handled by our appointed Poundkeeper. In fact, recently in Clarington our Poundkeeper was called in to capture a stray pot- bellied pig. "Kingston" as he was fondly named, was captured, housed and auctioned in accordance with the Pounds Act. He was purchased by an animal sanctuary outside of Clarington. The cost for the Poundkeeper's services totaled in excess of $800. We can make a pet of any animal. Pigs and sheep are livestock. Clarington offers a variety of housing options for its residents including low, medium and high density as well as agricultural properties. While pot - bellied or miniature /teacup pigs are considered clean, relatively quiet and require very little exercise, they can and often exceed their size and weight expectations which can pose a safety threat to their owners and the community and which can make them less desirable as a pet. Sheep are animals that thrive on socializing in a flock and require considerable maintenance. For these reasons, it is recommended that the request to amend the Exotic Pet By -law to permit the keeping of pigs and sheep in urban areas be denied. 2.4 Prohibited Exotic Animals Schedule A of the current Exotic Pet By -law details the prohibited animals in Clarington. The schedule could be rather confusing for the lay person, and as such has been reorganized and simplified in the proposed by -law. The types of animals being kept as pets is becoming more and more unusual. In recent years the keeping of exotic pets in some jurisdictions has created significant issues for the residents as well as enforcement units. Fortunately Clarington has not encountered many issues concerning exotic pets and staff believes that the current by -law provisions are for the most part appropriate for Clarington. That said, staff reviewed the lists of prohibited animals from all municipalities within Durham Region and several municipalities within Ontario beyond Durham Region (including Ottawa, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough, Toronto, Cobourg and Port Hope) and compared them to Clarington's list. Our review of the prohibited list of, animals contemplated these new pet trends while ensuring the safety and well -being of our residents and the animals. Although the layout and format of the list may vary 13 -5 REPORT NO.: CLD- 019 -12 PAGE 6 significantly from municipality to municipality, there were very few differences in the types of animals prohibited. To ensure our by -law remains current, there are three areas that have been identified where updates to Clarington's list of prohibited animals would be appropriate. a) The keeping of ferrets Our findings concluded that the keeping of ferrets would not pose any threat to the community and would have little to no impact on neighbours as the animals are typically housed indoors. Municipalities who permit ferrets confirmed they have had no reportable issues with ferrets in the community. Degus and chinchillas are members of the same Class and Order of animals as the ferret and research indicates that those municipalities permitting ferrets also permit degus and chinchillas. As such, staff are recommending that ferrets, degus and chinchillas be permitted to be kept within the Municipality of Clarington. b) The keeping of venomous vertebrates Our current by -law prohibits the keeping of venomous invertebrates (animal species that do not develop a vertebral column — eg. scorpions) but is silent on the keeping of venomous vertebrates (animal species that develop a vertebral column — eg. Some fish and shrews). To be consistent and to ensure the safety and well -being of the community, staff are recommending that venomous vertebrates be included in the list of prohibited animals. c) The keeping of constricting snakes Our current by -law prohibits the keeping of venomous snakes and all snakes of the Family Boidae (commonly referred to as a Boa). The by -law is silent, however, on other constricting snakes outside of the Family Boidae. The intent of these prohibitions, as stated throughout this report, is to ensure the safety and well -being of the community, and therefore staff are recommending that the prohibition extend to all constricting snakes greater than two metres in length. 3. TEMPORARY EXEMPTION PERMITS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES The current Exotic Pet By -law does not provide for any temporary exemptions. The Cities of Pickering and Ottawa provide for temporary exemptions for the purposes of education as well as other short-term entertainment events. Staff is recommending that the by -law be amended to provide for a permit process for persons who are not otherwise permitted to keep or bring exotic animals into Clarington, and who wish to carry on an Exotic Animal Entertainment Event within Clarington. An Exotic Animal Entertainment Event is defined in the draft by -law to 13 -6 REPORT NO.: CLD- 019 -12 PAGE 7 mean any exhibit, public show, circus or carnival or educational event using live exotic animals as well as any film or television production. An example of a person who would be required to apply for a permit includes an exhibit at an event in Clarington conducted by a zoo located outside of Clarington. The intent of the permit process is to ensure the safety and well - being of our community and the animals used in the event. This will be done through an application and approval process. Part of the application will require the applicant to detail the date, time and location of the event, all the animals (and their particulars) used in the event, a description of their housing, cleaning and general care, and safety and emergency measures for containment and first aid. Additionally, the application will be required to provide proof of insurance, proof of inspection by an inspector appointed under the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, written confirmation from Fire and Emergency Services and the Regional Health Department, and an application fee. The recommended application fee of $50 will cover administrative costs for processing the application and any necessary inspections. 4. CONCURRENCE — This report has been reviewed by Andy Allison, Municipal Solicitor who concurs with the recommendations. 5. CONCLUSION It is in the interest of public safety and the welfare of the animals to regulate the keeping of exotic and non - domestic animals within Clarington. Clarington is a Vibrant, caring community providing a varied geographic landscape. Comments and submissions from residents concerning the various elements of the by -law have been considered and incorporated into the draft by -law where it has been deemed in the best interest of our community as a whole. For the reasons expressed throughout this report, staff respectfully recommend that the Exotic Pet By -law be amended as follows: to restrict the number of pigeons permitted within non - agriculturally zoned lands; to provide for temporary permits for Exotic Animal Entertainment Events; to amend the list of prohibited animals to permit ferrets, degus, and chinchillas, and to prohibit venomous verterbrates and non - venemous constricting snakes.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS 1.1 Under section 354(4)(b), the Treasurer of a local municipality shall remove unpaid taxes from the roll without conducting a tax sale if the property is owned by a municipality. The first property on Attachment "A" was conveyed to the Municipality. The property is located in Bowmanville on Plan 10M797, Part 1 on Plan 40R27221 and was required to give Clarington access to Block 162 on Plan 10M797 to enter upon land to maintain as required. 1.2 Under section 354(3), a local municipality may only write off taxes as uncollectable after an unsuccessful tax sale and may at that point write off the taxes whether or not the property vests in the Municipality's ownership under Part XI of the Municipal Act, 2001. The second property listed on Attachment "A" is vacant property located on Scugog Street in Bowmanville. We have offered this property for sale through the tax sale process on two separate occasions in the last five years, with no bids submitted in either case. 1.3 The property is an abandoned former gas station site. The structure was removed through property standard orders some years ago. The "other charges" noted on the Attachment refer to the property standard costs. The Municipality has no interest in vesting (assuming ownership after a failed tax sale), due to the known presence of a former gas station. Any potential bidders who may be prepared to purchase and mediate the site may be more interested if there are not significant costs pertaining to tax arrears on the property so the objective is to clear the outstanding taxes in order to try to promote the sale and remediation of the property by private interests, should the opportunity arise. 1.4 Under Section 355(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, a local municipality may pass a by -law providing that where, in any year, the total amount of taxes to be imposed on a property would be less than the tax amount specified by the municipality in the by -law, the amount of actual taxes payable shall be zero. The intent here is that for those properties where the taxes generated would be less than $20, those taxes would not be levied and will be cancelled. This would save printing, postage and administration costs for two billings a year. Often these are one foot reserves as a result of development agreements, unusual landlocked very small tracts of land, or small pieces of land in transition that might be merged with larger parcels in a future year. The By -Law is shown as Attachment "B ". 2 CONCURRENCE — not applicable 15 -2 REPORT NO.: FND- 012 -12 3 CONCLUSION PAGE 3 3.1 The financial impact for the above two (2) write -offs for the municipality including penalty amounts and other charges, which were fees relating to Property Standard Charges and attempts to sell the property through the tax sale process result in an impact of $64,866.93. 3.2 The financial impact for the establishment of a Minimum Tax By -Law for the municipality would be less than $44.53 for 2012 and represents ten (10) properties and saves printing, postage and administration costs required to process these bills twice a year. This impact may vary slightly year to year..

BACKGROUND PAGE 2 1.0 Under Ontario Regulation 653/05, the Treasurer is required to report annually to Council the status of existing commodity hedging agreements, including a comparison of the expected results to actual of using the agreements, and confirmation that they comply with the Municipality's policies and goals. 1.1 As required by the Municipal Act, 2001, Council adopted a Commodity Price Hedging Agreements Statement of Policies and Goals in report COD - 054 -08, on Monday, October, 6, 2008. 2. COMMENTS 2.0 Over the last three years, considerable time has been spent to monitor the energy requirements and consumption patterns throughout the Municipality's operating departments. This information together with the procurement strategy aimed at reducing risk and stabilizing cost continues to focus on the need for a stable natural gas supply contract. On October 22, 2009 the Municipality signed an independent consulting agreement with Blackstone Energy Service Inc. for a term of three years with an option to renew for two years. This agreement covers many services related to the Municipalities supply of Natural Gas including the supply of information relevant to decision making; arranging contracts for the continuous supply; analysis and reconciliation of usage. 2.1 Blackstone Energy Services Inc. working on the Municipality's behalf was authorized to enter into fixed priced natural gas agreements as per the procurement strategies and indicative prices agreed to. The new contract meets the procurement goal of both reducing the risk and stabilizing the cost, as we have a fixed source of supply for 50% of the estimated requirement for each of the next three years at a fixed price with the balance to be supplied on index. The market will be monitored with the intention of locking the balance of the Municipality's requirements in for a fixed price when fundamentals justify that action. The contract price of the supply of natural gas is reviewed and the fixed source is set once a year for the period of November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011. The figures discussed in the next section reflect the impact of the initial price hedging efforts. 2.2 The 2011 budget used a price of $0.270 m3 for natural gas when calculating the $438,425 total value. This price was based on the actual rates charged in 2010 factored by Blackstone's projection. During the contract term — November 2010 to October 2011 - the weighted average price of natural gas we paid was between $0.1200 and $0.2550 per m3. The year to date (to October 2011) 15 -9 REPORT NO.: FND- 014 -12 PAGE 3 weighted portfolio average was $0.240644 per m3. This pricing, combined with the mild winter in 2010/2011, resulted in a significant budget savings for the contract period. The System Gas rate for the same term is shown in the chart below. October 2010 - December 2010 $0.137818 / m3 January 2011 — March 2011 $0.118127 / m3 April 2011 -June 2011 $0.130806 / m3 July 2011 —September 2011 $0.130806 / m3 October 2011 - December 2011 $0.122284 / m3 The fixed price contract resulted in a somewhat higher cost than may have been realized if the supply had been purchased on index however the Municipality would have had the risk of price volatility and lack of supply availability without the contract. 2.3 On December 9, 2009 the Municipality signed an Energy Management agreement with Blackstone Energy Services Inc. to cover Hydro related matters. The agreement is for a three year term with an option to renew for two years.

The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School board provided revised comments today which states that the proposed development will generate up to 19 elementary students and up to 12 secondary students. Their previous comments indicated up to 51 elementary and 13 secondary students would be generated. Thank you, David *av CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1 C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 TF 1-800-563-1195 F 905-623-0830 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. ATTACNMENT# TO (f) The Permit Holder shall ensure that all enclosures used to keep the Exotic Animals are kept suitably illuminated and ventilated.
