3.1 On March 13, 1997, Martindale Planning Services filed an application on behalf
of Clarington Place Limited with the Municipality of Clarington to amend the
former Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By -Law 84 -63. The purpose
of the application is to change the current zoning from "Agricultural (A) Zone" to
an appropriate zone permitting the development of a temporary parking lot to
serve the theatre, and existing /future restaurants on the property.
3.2 A temporary use by -law can be approved by Council for a maximum period of
three years. Upon further application, Council can extend a temporary use for a
further three year period.

5.2 The subject lands are designated "Main Central Area - Community Facility" within
the Clarington Official Plan. Parking lots for commercial purposes are not
permitted with this land use designation. The applicant has submitted an official
plan amendment application (COPA 97 -003) for consideration.
5.3 Temporary use by -laws may be approved to permit uses on a temporary basis
provided that the following criteria are fulfilled:
the proposed use is temporary in nature;
the proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses and has no adverse
impacts;
• there are no adverse impacts on the transporation system in the area;
the use can be removed and the site can be restored to its original
condition;
• the site can be adequately serviced; and
• the use does not implement the long -term implementation of this Plan.
The proposed use appears to meet the temporary use criteria and would therefore
conform to the Plan.
6. ZONING BY -LAW CONFORMITY
6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Agricultural (A) Zone" which permit
agricultural uses. As the proposed use do not comply with the zoning by -law, an
application to rezone the property is warranted.
7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION
7.1 Pursuant to requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage
acknowledging the application was erected on the subject lands. The required
notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance.
7.2 As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. One
inquiry from an adjacent resident for general information have been received.

8. AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 The application was circulated to solicit comments from other relevant agencies.
8.2 Comments still remain outstanding from the following agencies:
Clarington Public Works Department - Engineering
Durham Regional Planning Department
Durham Regional Public Works Department
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
9. STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 This commercial parking lot proposal is being considered at the request of the
applicant. When the theatre was originally approved by Council on June 26,
1995, Staff recognized that parking for the development would become an issue.
A traffic study which examined the parking issue was submitted. The study
suggested that in the interest of urban form, on- street parking and shared parking
arrangements between restaurant, theatre, and retail uses would be desirable.
At that time, Staff indicated that the applicant would have to address the parking
deficiency issue through subsequent phases of development. As a result,
additional lands for commercial parking are now being considered.
9.2 A portion of the temporary parking area will be located on the future extension of
Clarington Boulevard on a temporary basis. When the applicant is prepared to
continue with a future development phase in this area, the road extension will be
constructed and deeded to the Municipality and the temporary use will be
rescinded. Any temporary parking spaces lost to development and road
construction will therefore have to be provided in an alternative location.

REPORT • PD-59-97 PAGE 5
9.3 Preliminary discussions with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
indicated that the existing theatre and restaurant development to the south was
approved provided that all stormwater was contained on their site. In order for
the temporary parking lot to proceed, the applicant will have to ensure that this
requirement can be fulfilled.
9.4 The applicant is applying for a temporary use by -law under Section 39 of the
Planning Act. Council may approve such a by -law for a maximum period of three
years.
9.5 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements for the Public Meeting
under the Planning Act, and considering the number of outstanding comments,
it is respectfully requested that this report be referred back to Staff for further
processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.
Respectfully submitted,
