4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (PPS) provides policy direction on land use
planning and development for matters of provincial interest. This includes protecting
Provincial resources, public health and safety, and the quality of the natural and built
environment. These objectives are to be achieved through efficient land use planning.
Through land use designations and policies, municipal official plans and secondary
plans are the most important vehicle for implementing the PPS.
4.2 The Provincial Policy Statement focuses on growth and development within urban and
rural settlement areas. Development within these areas must meet the full range of
current and future needs of its population by employing efficient development patterns
and avoiding significant or sensitive resources and areas which may pose a risk to
public health and safety. Land use patterns should promote a mix of housing, including
affordable housing, employment, recreation, parks and open spaces, and transportation
choices that increase the use of active transportation and transit bef ore other modes of
travel.
4.3 The applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
Provincial Growth Plan
4.4 The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2019 (Growth Plan) provides
guidance on where and how to grow within the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH). This
includes requiring Municipalities to maintain a three-year supply of serviced land for
residential development
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report PDS-028-24
4.5 Building on the direction of the PPS, the Growth Plan supports the achievement of
complete communities, a thriving economy, a clean and healthy environment, and social
equity. These goals will be achieved by promoting access to transit and active
transportation and increasing the amount and variety of housing that is provided.
4.6 Complete communities provide for the needs of all parts of society. This includes
providing retail and office uses at locations that support active transportation and have
existing or planned transit. To address the issue of housing affordability, the Growth
Plan provides direction for a range and mix of housing to be offered with a priority on
access to transit and amenities.
4.7 In order to promote intensification, the Growth Plan has mapped a Built Boundary that
identifies the limits of existing development. Lands outside of the Built Boundary are
designated as Greenfield Areas. The Growth Plan calls for new developments in
Greenfield Areas to achieve a minimum density target of 50 residents and jobs
combined per gross hectare. The subject lands are designated Greenfield Areas.
4.8 The Growth Plan requires the protection and management of important hydrologic and
natural heritage features and areas in planning for future growth. Planning for large-
scale development in designated Greenfield Areas within the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan area is informed by the Robinson / Tooley Sub watershed Plan.
4.9 The applications conform with the policies and objectives of the Growth Plan.
5. Official Plans
Durham Regional Official Plan
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Areas.
5.2 Lands designated Living Areas permit the development of communities incorporating
the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes, and tenure to provide living
accommodations and address various socio-economic factors. Development
applications in Living Areas must consider having a compact built form, including
providing intensive residential and mixed uses along arterial roads and transit routes.
Consideration must also be given to urban design, pedestrian connections, a grid
pattern of roads, and the availability of services and infrastructure.
5.3 Region of Durham Official Plan policy supports the provision of affordable housing units
throughout Clarington. The Region of Durham Official Plan also supports the provision
of a range of residential unit types in order to support families, seniors, and special
needs groups.

5.4 The applications conform with the policies and objectives of the of Durham Region
Official Plan.
Clarington Official Plan
5.5 The Clarington Official Plan seeks to create walkable neighbourhoods and to provide a
variety of uses within each neighbourhood. New neighbourhoods will have a variety of
housing densities, tenure and types for all incomes, ages, and lifestyles. Three key
principles which provide direction for the policies of the Official Plan are: sustainable
development, healthy communities, and growth management.
5.6 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as Urban Residential and
Environmental Protection Area.
5.7 The Urban Residential designation shall predominantly be used for housing purposes,
providing for a variety of densities, tenure, and types. Neighbourhoods must be
walkable, compact, connected and create a high-quality public realm.
5.8 Environmental Protection Areas are recognized as the most significant co mponents of
the Municipality’s natural environment, and their ecological functions are to be
conserved and protected.
5.9 The applications conform with the policies and objectives of the Clarington Official Plan.
Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
5.10 The Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan designates the subject lands as Low Density
Residential and Environmental Protection Area.
5.11 The Secondary Plan establishes that development on lands designated Low Density
Residential shall have a minimum net density of 13 units per hectare and shall not
exceed three storeys in height.
5.12 The Secondary Plan establishes policies to ensure that development contributes to an
attractive and animated public realm, fine grain connectivity, an enhanced pedestrian
environment, and appropriate transitions between areas of different development
intensity and uses.
5.13 The applications conform with the policies and objectives of the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan.
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-028-24
Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
5.14 Southeast Courtice Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines were approved to
provide direction in the form of design guidance and strategies to implement the vision
and objectives of the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan. Guidance addresses
community structure, street, and block patterns, built form, public realm (including
roads), cultural and natural heritage, stormwater management, transitions between uses
and implementation.
5.15 The applications conform with the policies and objectives of the Southeast Courtice
Urban Design and Sustainability Guidelines.
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands “Agricultural (A)”.
6.2 A Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to place the subject lands in an appropriate R3
Urban Residential zone subject to a Holding zone to implement the Draft Plan of
Subdivision. Open space lands and their buffers would be placed in the Environmental
Protection (EP) Zone. A draft Zoning By-law Amendment for the subject lands is
provided as Attachment 3 to this report.
6.3 The Holding zone will remain on the lands until the necessary conditions of draft
approval and development agreements are in place for the draft plan of subdivision. The
development agreements will require the applicant to, among other matters:
Address the recommendations of the background studies, including
submission of additional information, plans, and reports; and
Provide for Municipal services and road works that will service the
development.
7. Summary of Background Studies
Planning Justification Report, November 2021, revised January 2024
7.1 The Planning Report prepared and submitted in support of the proposal concludes that
the applications represent good planning and are in the public interest.
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PDS-028-24
Functional Servicing Report, November 2021, revised February 2024
7.2 The Functional Servicing Report submitted in support of the proposal concludes that
subject to a trunk water and sewer extension in Baseline Road from Trulls Road to
Courtice Road, water and sanitary services will be available to service the proposed
plan of subdivision through the proposed plan of subdivision to the south (SC-2021-
0006). An appropriate condition of draft approval will be imposed.
Stormwater Management Report, November 2021, revised February 2024
7.3 The Stormwater Management Report submitted in support of the proposal concludes
that subject to the construction of storm sewer connections and related infrastructure
within the road allowances and the construction of the proposed stormwater
management facility on lands to the south (SC-2021-0006), stormwater management is
available for this proposed plan of subdivision.
Noise Impact Study, November 2021, revised January 2024
7.4 The Noise Impact Study submitted in support of the proposal concludes that subject to
noise mitigation measures (acoustic fencing, upgraded building materials, mandatory air
conditioning) and warning clauses that the sound levels for future residents are
acceptable. An appropriate condition of draft approval will be imposed.
Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment, May 2024
7.5 The Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment concludes that no risk assessment or
remediation is required prior to a Record of Site Condition being submitted to the
Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. An appropriate condition of draft
approval will be imposed.
Environmental Impact Study, November 2021; update memo February 2024
7.6 The Environmental Impact Study and update memos submitted in support of the
proposal concludes that the most significant feature on the property is a linkage
identified in the Robinson-Tooley Sub watershed Study along the north limit property.
The EIS notes that the Draft Plan will maintain a natural linkage across the northern limit
of the property. This will also preserve a majority of the significant woodland on the
property. For the significant woodland and wetland that will be removed, the EIS is
proposing the relocation of an equivalent number of environmental features (0.43 ha) on
the lands south of Bloor Street owned by Tribute Communities (Tribute (King Street)
Limited). This location is in a targeted Enhancement Restoration Area identified in the
Sub watershed Study within the Robinson Creek Valley.
Municipality of Clarington Page 11
Report PDS-028-24
7.7 Appropriate conditions of draft approval will be imposed to preserve the linkage and
implement the compensation.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Plan, November 2021, revised January 2024
7.8 The Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Plan submitted in support of the proposal
concludes that the proposal meets the principles of Sustainable Development as
outlined in the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan.
Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment, November 2018
7.9 The Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessments submitted in support of the proposal
determined that no archaeological resources with cultural heritage value were identified.
No further assessment is required. It is recommended that development not proceed
before receiving confirmation from the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism, and Culture
Industries, (MHSTCI) that the report has been reviewed and entered into the Provincial
Register of Reports, and all other government agencies have signed off. An appropriate
condition of draft approval will be imposed.
Transportation Impact Study, revised February 2024
7.10 The Transportation Impact Study submitted in support of the proposal concludes that:
Traffic anticipated to be generated by the proposed development can be
accommodated by the study road network;
The proposed development should implement the TDM measures and
incentives identified in the report to support active transportation and
transit and to reduce the numbers of single-occupant-vehicle trips to and
from the proposed development; and
The proposed development provides sufficient on-street parking.

Report PDS-028-24
9. Agency and Department Comments
9.1 Various agencies and internal departments were circulated for comments on the
application. Circulated departments and agencies did not provide objections to the
proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. Comments received focused on the proposed
Draft Plan of Subdivision S-C-2021-0005. Comment received pertaining to the Draft
Plan of Subdivision will be addressed prior to issuance of Draft Approval by the Deputy
CAO of Planning and Infrastructure Services.
10. Discussion
10.1 The proposed development of 63 single detached dwellings and 12 street townhouse
dwellings helps to meet Provincial Growth Plan targets by adding dwellings within the
existing urban area.
10.2 The proposed development includes environmental protection lands being conveyed to
the Municipality, which meets municipal objectives and helps protect the natural
heritage system.
10.3 New roads and other services will be provided to service this development and planned
future developments to the south and east. More specifically, the proposed road
network provides for proper road connectivity and integration with the future
development lands to the south (Tribute Courtice SC-2021-0006).
10.4 The proposed development relies on a trunk sewer extension in Baseline Road from
Trulls Road to Courtice Road. The applicant is aware of these servicing constraints and
has agreed to the appropriate conditions of draft approval being included.
10.5 The circulated external agencies, authorities and internal departments have no
objection to the Zoning By-law Amendment application subject to conditions that
will be implemented through draft approval process.
10.6 The proposed development meets the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement, the
Growth Plan, the Durham Region Official Plan, and the Clarington Official Plan.
Municipality of Clarington Page 13
Report PDS-028-24
10.7 The proposed development represents good planning.
Addressing Public Submissions
10.8 Representatives on behalf of Halminen Homes spoke at the statutory public meeting
expressing concerns with the layout of the plan of subdivision and that it will create a
remnant parcel on the client’s property. The delegation requested that the design of the
draft plan of subdivision should consider the remnant parcel. The creation of the
remnant parcel will be the result of the future extension of Meadowglade Road and is
not the result of the proposed plan of subdivision design . It is also noted that the noted
future remnant parcel is, in part, designated Environmental Protection in the Southeast
Courtice Secondary Plan.
11. Financial Considerations
11.1 The capital infrastructure required for this development will be built by the
developer and assumed by the Municipality upon acceptance. The Municipality
will include the new capital assets in its asset management plans and be
responsible for the major repair, rehabilitation, and replacement in the future.
11.2 Maintenance and minor repairs of the neighbourhood park, environmental
protection lands, walkways and road infrastructure will be included in future
operating budgets upon acceptance.
Perfect Storm Report
11.3 On April 15, 2024, Council endorsed the CAO's ‘Perfect Storm” report which
expressed significant concerns related to recent changes to Provincial legislation
resulting in reduced parkland dedication for new neighborhoods. Council passed
resolution April 15, 2024, on directing staff to conduct Fiscal Impact Assessments
for any developments impacted by Bill 23, while continuing to process
applications, to ensure that both Council and the community understand the full
cost of these changes.
11.4 Staff met with Tribute representatives, and they agreed to provide the parkland
requirements pre-bill 23 for their applications and at no cost to the mun icipality
for any over-dedication. There are no parkland reductions from these
applications compared to the approved Secondary Plan. Therefore, there is no
need to undertake an update of the Fiscal Impact Assessment as there are no
additional costs to the Municipality.

12. Concurrence
12.1 Not Applicable.
13. Conclusion
13.1 In consideration of all agencies, staff, and public comments, it is respectfully
recommended that the Zoning By-law Amendment as written in Attachment 1 and as
submitted by Riley Park Developments Inc. (Tribute), be supported, and approved
respectively.
