Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD- 139 -97 be received for information.
1. PURPOSE OF THE PREPARATION OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD DESIGN PLAN
1.1 The preparation of a Neighbourhood Design Plan is required under the policies
of the Clarington Official Plan prior to consideration of a Plan of Subdivision.
Although these plans do not require Council approval, they are used by staff in
reviewing subdivision applications for the specific neighbourhood. They also
illustrate to existing residents and perspective purchasers, the intended land uses
proposed in the neighbourhood.
1.2 The design plans are intended to detail the following:
• all road alignments within a neighbourhood, including right -of -way widths
and required widenings;
• any walking or cycling trail systems should be identified, as well as future
transit routes;
• location of school, park and open space blocks including stormwater
management blocks

2. GLENVIEW NEIGHBOURHOOD DESIGN DETAILS
2.1 A subdivision application (18T- 95029) and rezoning application (DEV 95 -020) were
received in 1995 for a large portion of the remainder of the developable lands
-- within the Glenview Neighbourhood. This - neighbourhood -has been previously
developed based on the land use designations contained within the Official Plan
of the former Town of Newcastle. Attachment #1 shows the limits of the Glenview
Neighbourhood.
2.2 Staff are proposing to advertise and host an information Open House session for
the Neighbourhood Design Plan on October 15, 1997 at the Courtice Secondary
School Cafeteria. Notice will be provided by way of local newspaper and by mail
to land owners. Comments from the general public will be taken into
consideration prior to finalizing the neighbourhood plan. It should be noted that
the neighbourhood plan does not replace the approval of a plan of subdivision
or rezoning, nor will it remove any resident's rights to object to subsequent
subdivision or rezoning applications under the Planning Act.
2.3 In accordance with the Official Plan, an Environmental Impact Study was required
for the subdivision and rezoning application as there are identified natural features
located on the site. This study has been conducted, and the draft Phase 2 report
was presented to the steering committee in September. The scheduled public
meeting to be held on October 15, 1997 will have a dual purpose and will allow
residents to review the findings of the environmental impact study, as well as
review the proposed Neighbourhood Design Plan.
2.4 Due to the previous development which has already taken place within the
neighbourhood, and in that the north central area of the neighbourhood is
REPORT NO. PD- 139 -97 PAGE 3
predominantly designated "Environmental Protection ", staff have directed the
applicant to concentrate the neighbourhood design efforts on the lands subject
to the subdivision application including providing access to the northern portion
of the neighbourhood at the easterly and westerly limits of the neighbourhood.
2.5 Taking into consideration those suggestions, comments and concerns expressed
at the public information centre, both the Neighbourhood Design Plan and the
Environmental Impact Study would be subsequently finalized.
Respectfully submitted,
