•
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD- 106 -96 be received;
2. THAT the City of Oshawa and Region of Durham be advised that the
Municipality of Clarington has no objections to the proposed zoning by -law
amendment subject to conditions of the Public Works Department;
3. THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to the City of Oshawa and Region of
Durham Planning Departments; and,
4. THAT the interested parties listed in this report and any delegation be advised
of Council's decision.
1. APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant: City of Oshawa
1.2 Proposed Rezoning: To permit the development within a planned
commercial strip.
1.3 Site Area: 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres)
2. LOCATION
2.1 The subject lands are located within the Taunton Part II Planning Area, on Part
Lot 1, Concession 4 in the City of Oshawa. The area subject to rezoning
consists of properties totalling approximately 0.8 ha (2.0 ac) on the northwest
corner of Taunton Road East and Townline Road North.

3.1 On May 7, 1996, the Municipality was circulated by the City of Oshawa to
provide comments on this proposed rezoning application. This rezoning
application has been initiated by the City.
3.2 The area subject to the rezoning is located within the Taunton Part II Planning
Area. Official Plan Amendment #36 to the Oshawa Official Plan, implementing
the Taunton Part II Planning Area, was approved by the Durham Region
Planning Department on March 29, 1996.
3.3 The application contains five properties including 1348 and 1360 Taunton
Road East as well as 1424, 1438, and 1450 Townline Road North. Based on
discussions with the City Staff, these properties were zoned for commercial
purposes under the previous Oshawa Zoning By -law 1757. Under the City's
current Zoning By -law 60 -94, the properties are zoned "Urban Reserve (UR)"
which is a holding zone that permits only existing, agricultural, and outdoor
recreational uses. No additional commercial development is permitted under
this zoning. The zoning was placed on the properties while the Taunton Part II
Planning Area was prepared and approved. Once approved, the City agreed
to approve an appropriate zoning to implement the land use designation.
4. STAFF COMMENTS
4.1 The Part II Plan for the Taunton Planning Area has been circulated to the
Municipality of Clarington for comment on two previous occasions. Reports
PD- 105 -94 and PD -43 -96 contained the Municipality's comments relating to
planned commercial development within the Plan.
4.2 The subject lands have been designated for as Planned Commercial Strip
totalling 15,000 sq.ft. This would recognize the existing commercial
development and permit some future redevelopment on the sites. The City has
rflAwejad
recommended that the floorspace of individual retail units not exceed 2,400
sq.ft. Staff support the site limitation of future retail development.
4.3 Although the Clarington Public Works Department has no objections in
principle, the following issues must be addressed:
a stormwater management report must be prepared in conjunction with
future development applications to ensure that drainage does not
adversely affect lands within the Municipality of Clarington; and,
development on these lands will necessitate the reconstruction of
Townline Road and Taunton Road, including the installation of sidewalk
and lighting. The reconstruction of Townline Road is not required by
the Municipality. Should future development receive approval, the City
of Oshawa should assume and accept all costs for the reconstruction
and future maintenance of Townline Road. The Boundary Road
Agreements between the City and the Municipality should be amended
to reflect the same.
4.4 Although the sites would decrease in size through future road widenings along
both road frontages as well as site triangles, these properties together could
conceivably generate more floorspace than what has been designated.
Nevertheless, the amount of additional floorspace would not be significant
relative to the impacts on Clarington. Staff have no objections to the rezoning
application.
