" o 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 Clarington Official Plan.

OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 Within the existing 1991 Durham Region Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Main Central Area ". Parking lots are permitted within this designation. The application appears to conform with the policies. 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 within this land use designation. Therefore, the applicant has submitted an official plan amendment application for consideration. REPORT 6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Agricultural (A) Zone" which permit agricultural uses. As commercial parking lots are not permitted, an rezoning application will be warranted at a later date. 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 has 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 9.1 The 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. 620 REPORT NO. PD-61-97 PAGE .9 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 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 parking lot to proceed, the applicant will have to ensure that this requirement is fulfilled. 9.3 The applicant is also applying for a temporary use by -law under Section 39 of the Planning Act covering the same land. This application is subject to a separate report. 9.4 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.
