To rezone the subject lands from "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" Zone to an
appropriate zone to permit 1 lot for a detached dwelling.

Report PDS-012-25
2. Background
2.1 On September 19, 2024, Honey Harbour Heights Estates Ltd, submitted an application
for a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit one lot for a detached dwelling on a 0.472
hectare parcel. The subject lands are situated within the hamlet boundary of Hampton.
2.2 The adjacent properties to the west and east of the subject property are zoned
"Residential Exception (RH-28)" Zone which permits single detached dwellings. The lots
were created by severance in 2013 and have since then have been developed with
detached homes. The zoning on 72 Ormiston Street, as well as the retained 13.849
hectares to the north remained as "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" Zone. The intent was to
allow access to the retained lands from 72 Ormiston Street and from an access to the
east, within the hamlet boundary, shown as a cul-de-sac on Figure 1 for future
development.
2.3 On August 29, 2024 the Committee of Adjustment heard two applications pertaining to
this site. The first was for a Consent application for a lot line adjustment for the lands to
the east to access a well. The second was a Consent application to sever a 0.472
hectare parcel from a 13.849 hectare parcel to permit the creation of one lot. As a
condition of approval of the Consent application, the Owner was required to submit a
zoning by-law amendment application to address the reduction lot area and lot frontage.
In order to clear this condition, a zoning by-law amendment application is to be
approved, and final and binding from Municipal Council.
2.4 The zoning by-law amendment application was deemed complete on November 20,
2024.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The subject lands are located on the north side of Ormiston Street, east of Old Scugog
Road in the Hamlet of Hampton.
3.2 The lands subject to this rezoning application are 0.472 hectares in area with 30 metres
of frontage and were part of a larger vacant parcel to the north inside the hamlet
boundary. The lands are currently vacant.
3.3 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North: Vacant Agricultural lands.
East: Existing detached residential dwellings on rural residential lots.
South: Existing detached residential dwellings on rural residential lots and Hampton
Public School.
Page 12
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report PDS-012-25
West: Existing single detached residential dwellings.
4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
4.1 The PPS 2024 provides policies to support the creation of a full range of housing, while
respecting the rural character in rural settlement areas. It also encourages the use of
existing infrastructure, protection of the natural environment and creating complete
communities.
4.2 The subject lands are located within a settlement area, where the PPS promotes infill
development and where existing infrastructure, and public services facilities will be
utilized.
4.3 The proposal conforms to the PPS 2024.
5. Official Plan
Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham)
5.1 On September 3, 2024, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved Envision
Durham, which is the new Regional Official Plan, with modifications. The Durham
Region Official Plan (Envision Durham) designates the subject lands as" Hamlets".
5.2 Envision Durham encourages development within hamlets to be compatible with
surrounding uses and the rural landscape consisting of a mix of housing types
appropriate for existing service levels, employment uses and commercial uses that meet
the needs of the residents of the hamlets and the surrounding rural area.
5.3 The Regional Official Plan encourages a wide range of residential dwellings that are
locally appropriate and consistent with the character of the area. The proposed
development supports Regional policies guiding the development of Hamlets by
promoting housing opportunities within an existing neighbourhood area and by
proposing to develop the subject lands in an efficient manner while maintaining an
attractive and contextually appropriate built -form.
5.4 The proposal conforms to Envision Durham.
Page 13
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report PDS-012-25
Municipality of Clarington Official Plan
5.5 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands "Hamlet". New residential lots
in any rural settlement area with or without municipal water shall have a minimum lot
size of 0.4 hectares, must meet the requirements of the Region of Durham Health
Department for private services to ensure there are no adverse impacts for water supply
and quality. Settlement areas are urban areas and rural settlement areas, and include
cities, towns, villages and hamlets. Settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and
development. Land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on densities
and a mix of land uses. Land use patterns within settlement areas shall also be based
on a range of uses and opportunities for intensification and redevelopment.
5.6 The subject size is greater than the required lot size of 0.4 hectares and considered an
infill between existing development.
5.7 The proposal conforms with the policies of the Clarington Official Plan.
6. Zoning By-law 84-63
6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" Zone within Zoning
By-law 84-63.
6.2 The "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" zone requires a minimum lot area of 40 hectares and
a minimum street frontage of 100 metres. The severed parcel requires a zoning by-law
amendment application to reduce the area and frontage within the rural settlement
boundary.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 The Consent applications were supported by the Committee of Adjustment, as such no
background studies were required for the rezoning application.
8. Public Notice and Submissions
8.1 Public Notice was mailed to households within 300 metres of the subject lands on
February 24, 2025. One public meeting sign was installed on the subject lands. Details
of the proposed application were also posted on the Municipality's website (Proposed
development at 72 Ormiston Street, Hampton I Clarington Connected), and in the
Clarington Connected e-newsletter.
8.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff have not received any comments from the public.
Page 14
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report PDS-012-25
9. Department and Agency Comments
9.1 The application was circulated to internal departments and external agencies for review
and comments. A list and summary of the agency and internal departments comments
received thus far are shown on Attachment 2 to this report.
10. Discussion
10.1 The proposed residential lot is located within the Hamlet of Hampton and the proposed
residential use represents a form of development encouraged by Provincial, Regional,
and Municipal policies.
10.2 The proposed lot at 72 Ormiston Street was left as "Agricultural Exception (A-1) Zone"
to provide future access to the vacant lands for future development to the north. The
retained lands are outside of the rural settlement boundary and within the Greenbelt.
The consent application to sever 72 Ormiston does not preclude future development of
the lands to the north. The development potential for these lands is limited to one
primary residential dwelling and accessory buildings and maintains access from the east
side of the retained lands to Ormiston Street.
11. Financial Considerations
11.1 The capital infrastructure required for this development will be negligible given that the
lot will be privately serviced, there are no are sidewalks and the road is already
constructed. The Municipality will be responsible for the major repair, rehabilitation, and
replacement in the future for any capital assets.
12. Strategic Plan
12.1 The proposed development has been reviewed against the three pillars of the
Clarington Strategic Plan 2024-27. Staff gave attention to the priorities of growing
resilient, sustainable, and complete communities and connecting residents through the
design of safe, diverse, inclusive, and vibrant communities. The proposal aligns with
Clarington's Strategic Plan.
13. Climate Change
13.1 The impact of one single lot will have negligible impacts on climate change.
14. Concurrence
Not Applicable.

15. Conclusion
15.1 Should there be no significant concerns from the public, Staff recommend that the
application by Honey Harbour Heights Estates Ltd. to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 to
permit one residential lot be approved and the Zoning By-law as shown on Attachment
1 be passed. In the event that significant concerns are raised, it is recommended that
this matter be referred back to staff.

2.1 On November 3, 2022, a stage 1 pre -consultation meeting was held, followed by a stage 2
pre -consultation submission on July 19, 2023. Comments from various agencies and
departments were provided to the applicant on October 27, 2023 after review of the
Page 31
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report PDS-013-25
submission materials. A subsequent informal submission was received on March 7, 2024,
followed by a formal application submission on November 29, 2024.
2.2 The submitted applications for a rezoning and draft plan of subdivision propose to rezone
the lands from an Agricultural Exception (A-1) Zone to various urban residential exception
zones to facilitate the development of 119 residential units and various part lots within the
Northglen Neighbourhood. The lots consist of 82 single detached units, 2 semi-detached
units, and 35 street townhouse units, as well as a partial medium density block to be
merged with abutting lands to the east. The plan also shows the extension of various
roads to complete the Northglen Neighbourhood street network, as well as a 0.42 hectare
park block.
2.3 A subsequent site plan application would be required for the proposed medium density
block (Block 42 on the draft plan) once it merges with the abutting lands to the east which
are part of another subdivision application (SC-2007-0004).
2.4 The draft plan shows various part lots (approximately 34) which will be merged with the
adjacent lands to complete the lotting fabric of the neighbourhood. The subject lands are
one of the last sites to be developed within the Northglen Neighbourhood as the site was
formerly used as an auto wrecking yard which has now ceased operation. With the
termination of the auto wrecking yard, it would now enable the subject lands, and
surrounding adjacent lands, to transition to alternative uses.
2.5 The applicant has submitted supporting documents which have been circulated to various
departments and agencies for review and comment. They are available upon request and
will be summarised in a subsequent recommendation report.
2.6 The rezoning and subdivision applications were deemed complete by staff on December 2,
2024.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The subject lands are located at the northwest quadrant of Concession Road 3 and Middle
Road, and south of Northglen Boulevard within the Northglen Neighbourhood in
Bowmanville. The site was formerly occupied by Abe's Auto Wreckers but also includes
properties adjacent to Abe's, along Concession Road 3. The total site area is
approximately 7.5 hectares.
3.2 Surrounding uses include mostly single detached dwellings and townhouses. Sites
immediately surrounding the subject lands are vacant due to the implications of the
previous auto wrecking use of the property.
3.3 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North: Existing low density, single detached residential houses and a public elementary
school which is currently under construction.
Page 32
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report PDS-013-25
East: Existing low density, single detached residential houses, as well as registered
vacant lots within a plan of subdivision.
South: Existing low density, single detached and townhouse residential units.
West: Existing low density, single detached and townhouse residential units.
4. Provincial Policy
The Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
4.1 The PPS 2024 encourages planning authorities to create healthy, livable, and safe
communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of housing types, including
affordable housing and shall promote development patterns that efficiently use land and
infrastructure. Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification are to be promoted
where it can be accommodated.
4.2 The PPS policies direct growth to settlement areas and promote compact development
forms. The subject lands are located within the Bowmanville Urban Settlement boundary.
Planning authorities are to facilitate a variety of housing forms and promote residential
intensification to achieve efficient development patterns, especially along public transit and
active transportation routes.
4.3 The PPS encourages a minimum density target of 50 residents and jobs per gross
developable hectare in designated growth areas.
4.4 The proposal is consistent with the PPS 2024.

Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham)
5.1 On September 3, 2024, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved Envision
Durham, which is the new Regional Official Plan, with modifications.
5.2 The Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham) designates the subject lands as
"Community Areas." Community Areas are to be planned for a variety of housing types,
sizes, and tenures, including townhouse dwellings. These areas can also include
population -serving uses and shall be developed in a compact form through higher
densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas.
5.3 Envision Durham provides a long-term policy framework that is used to manage Durham
Region's growth and development. The intent of Envision Durham is to manage resources,
direct growth and establish a basis for providing Regional services in an efficient and
effective manner
Page 33
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report PDS-013-25
5.4 Development within this area shall be planned to achieve a minimum density target of 53
people and jobs per hectare. The density proposed is estimated to be around 53.2 people
per ha which is meeting this target. It does not include any units or people associated with
the medium density block which will be determined through a future site plan application.
5.5 The proposal conforms to Envision Durham.
Municipality of Clarington Official Plan
5.6 The Clarington Official Plan designates the property "Urban Residential" and is within the
Bowmanville Urban Area. Ground related units such as detached dwellings, semi-
detached and limited townhouses are permitted, as proposed. The built form shall be
between 1 to 3 storeys and the minimum density target is 13 units per ha. Proposal is
approximately 18 units per ha.
5.7 The subject site is also located within a "Local Corridor", which is along Concession Road
3. It is in close proximity to the intersection of two arterial roads, Concession Road 3 and
Middle Road. Concession Road 3 is a Type B arterial road and Middle Road is a Type C
arterial road. Local Corridors require a minimum density of 40 units per ha and permits
low and mid rise buildings. Given that there is only approximately 50 metres of frontage
along this corridor and given the constraints of the site due to existing developments and
road network, the proposal for townhouses within this area appropriate and is permitted
within the local corridor. There will be a further opportunity to increase the density along
the Local Corridor when the medium density block (Block 42) merges with the lands to the
east.
5.8 Multi -unit residential development will be developed on the basis of the following site
development criteria, as per policy 9.4.5:
• Suitability of the size and shape of the site;
• Compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood;
• Minimize impact of traffic on local streets;
• Direct vehicular accesses from public streets, without reliance on easements;
• Variety of unit designs;
• Townhouses shall not be sited on opposite sides of the street unless adequate on -
street parking can be provided; and
• Street townhouses shall generally not comprise more than 6 attached units.
5.9 The proposal conforms with the policies of the Clarington Official Plan.
Northglen Neighbourhood Design Plan
5.10 The subject lands are also within the approved Northglen Neighbourhood Design Plan. As
per Policy 9.4.2 of the Clarington Official Plan, Neighbourhood Design Plans will continue
to provide guidance for the development of neighbourhoods.
Page 34
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report PDS-013-25
5.11 The proposal follows the general layout of the Northglen Neighbourhood Design Plan in
terms of road patterns, lot fabric, and providing a proposed park. Discussion on the size of
the park proposed, is within Section 10 of this Report.
5.12 The draft plan of subdivision slightly deviates from the Neighbourhood Design Plan by
eliminating vehicle access from Tait Crescent to the medium density block. This was a
request made by Staff through the review process because there were other opportunities
for vehicle connections to the medium density block from Concession Road 3 and Middle
Road. This would eliminate unnecessary private lane connections to Tait Crescent and
direct road traffic to the main arterial roads as opposed to a local road. It would also
eliminate the need for any street renaming of Tait Crescent.
6. Zoning By-law 84-63
6.1 The property is zoned "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" in Zoning by-law 84-63. The
Agricultural Zone is a common zone category for underdeveloped lots located within
Settlement Areas. The Agricultural zone does not permit the proposed development, and
as such, the rezoning application was required.
6.2 The draft zoning by-law amendment proposes the lands be rezoned to various Urban
residential exception zones to permit the proposed development within the Northglen
Neighbourhood. The proposal shows single detached lots with a frontage between 10
metres and 14.3 metres, semi detached dwellings with 9 metre frontages and street
townhouse dwellings with a minimum lot frontage of 7 metres, in keeping with the lot
frontages not only within the Northglen Neighbourhood, but also as per Council's 1999
resolution.
6.3 Finalization of appropriate zone uses and provisions will be determined after all public and
agency comments have been received and will be brought forward in a subsequent
recommendation report. A Holding (H) Symbol will be implemented as part of the Zoning
By-law Amendment to ensure the conditions of the draft plan of subdivision and site plan
approval (for the medium density block) have been fulfilled. The parkette will also be
rezoned to an urban residential zone and will have a hold until the lands are transferred to
the Municipality.
6.4 A draft Zoning By-law Amendment that was submitted by Blackthorn Development Corp. is
included in Attachment 1.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 The applicant has submitted the required supporting plans and studies which have been
circulated to departments and agencies for review and comment. The list of studies and
drawings are on the development application webpage at www.clarington.net/ConRd3 and
are also available upon request. A summary of the submitted reports and studies will be
provided in a future recommendation report.

Report PDS-013-25
8. Public Notice and Submissions
8.1 Public Notice was mailed to households within 120 metres of the subject lands on
February 24, 2025. Signage was also posted on the property, along Northglen Boulevard,
George Webster Way, Concession Road 3, and Tait Crescent, advising of the complete
application received by the Municipality and details of the public meeting. Details of the
proposed application were also posted on the Municipality's website, and in the Clarington
Connected e-newsletter.
8.2 At the time of writing this report, no public comments were received.
8.3 Staff will continue to process any public inquiries received. Comments received at the
Statutory Public Meeting will also be considered and included in the recommendation
report.
9. Departmental and Agency Comments
9.1 The applications were circulated to internal departments and external agencies for review
and comments. At the time of writing this report, staff have not received all of the agency
and department comments. A list and summary of the agency and internal department
comments received, as well as all public comments received, will be included in a
subsequent recommendation report.
10. Discussion
10.1 The proposed residential development is located within the Bowmanville Urban Boundary
and the proposed residential uses represent a form of development encouraged by
Provincial, Regional, and Municipal policies.
10.2 The applicant has proposed a total of 119 units consisting of 82 single detached units, 2
semi-detached units, and 35 townhouse units. The proposal also shows various part lots
proposed to be melded with part lots within the adjacent plan of subdivision SC-2007-
0004, as well as a portion of a medium density block that will be subject to a future site
plan application. The proposal is one of the last phases of the Northglen Neighbourhood,
which has become available after the discontinuation of the Abe's Auto Wrecking Yard.
The immediate surrounding lands will also be made available for development with the
termination of the wrecking yard use.
10.3 Further discussion on the appropriateness of the land uses proposed and the built form,
such as heights, densities and general site layout will be addressed through a subsequent
recommendation report.

Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-013-25
Environmental Site Assessment (Site Contamination)
10.4 A Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment was submitted for the former Abe's Auto
Wrecking Yard, however, the report indicates it was completed for due diligence purposes
in support of a real estate transaction and site plan approval instead of in accordance with
Ontario Regulation (O.Reg.) 153/04. A new or revised report will be required to be
prepared in accordance with O.Reg. 153/04 to determine appropriateness for site to be
used for residential purposes.
10.5 The initial findings of the submitted report revealed that exceedances were found in some
areas of the site. It also indicated that site remediation was carried out and backfill was
imported from a local quarry. The tested backfill met the Ministry of Environments
Conservation and Parks (MECP) Table 2 Guideline criteria. The report states that the site
was adequately cleaned up and is suitable for sensitive uses as the chemical qualities of
the groundwater and the subsoils remaining at the stie comply with the MECP's Table 2.
10.6 As of January 1 st of this year, the Region of Durham has been removed from planning
responsibilities, including site contamination. This responsibility has now been transferred
to the Municipality to enforce. Given that the Municipality is still in the transition phase to
develop a site contamination protocol and to retain the expertise to review and confirm the
findings of the report, Staff are not able to comment on the findings of the report at this
time. Further comment will be provided in a subsequent recommendation report to ensure
the site is appropriate for sensitive land uses, such as residential. Staff may also require a
peer review of the ESA report to confirm the conclusions of the report. As a final step, a
Record of Site Condition would be required to be submitted to MECP.
Parkette Size
10.7 A parkette is required in accordance with the Neighbourhood Design Plan and Clarington
Official Plan. The location of the park in the Neighbourhood Design Plan was strategically
planned to provide terminating vistas at Crombie Street, Tait Crescent, and Concession
Road 3, which is being achieved through the proposed layout of the draft plan of
subdivsion. While the Official Plan outlines the need for a parkette of 0.5 to 1 ha, the
Planning Act only requires 0.4 hectares on these lands. Only 0.42 hectares are proposed
for the parkette in the application and staff are encouraging the Owner to increase it to
meet the minimum 0.5 hectares as outlined in the Clarington Official Plan.
10.8 Park spaces within the Neighbourhood Design Plan are planned at the neighbourhood
level instead of on an individual ownership basis. An overall park review for the Northglen
Neighbourhood, including the future development of the medium density block and mixed
use block within the Northglen Neighbourhood, would need to be considered in order to
determine the appropriate park size for this site. Staff will continue to have discussions
with the Owner and will provide further details in the final recommendation report.

Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PDS-013-25
Proposed Zoning By -Law Amendment
10.9 The minimum width for singles and townhouse units have been debated by Municipal Staff
and Council over the years in order to ensure appropriate growth and density can be
accommodated, while still meeting other competing demands, such as parking and
landscaped open space. Typically, as a result of a Council Resolution from 1999, and a
recent Council decision in 2024 to have a minimum soft landscaping in the front yard of
40%, singles are to have a minimum frontage of 10 metres and townhouses which have
access from a public road are recommended to have a minimum frontage of 7 metres. The
proposal is in keeping with this direction and is also similar to the existing lot fabric within
the Northglen neighbourhood.
10.10 A rezoning is required to rezone the lands from "Agricultural Exception (A-1) Zone" to an
appropriate "Holding - Urban Residential Exception Zone" in order to facilitate the
proposed development. It also proposes to rezone some of the adjacent part lots outside
the proposed plan of subdivision. The parkette would be zoned to an "Urban Residential
Type One (R1) Zone" , with a Hold until the lands for the parkette are dedicated to the
Municipality. A Zoning By-law Amendment has been prepared by the applicant and
appears to align with the approved vision for the Northglen Neighbourhood Design Plan.
Servicing
10.11 Stormwater management for the site is proposed to be split between two downstream
ponds, that being the Jackman Stormwater Quality Facility to the south (southeast corner
of Longworth Ave. and Scugog Street) and the Northglen West Stormwater Management
Facility to the west. Storm sewers and facilities have been sized to accommodate the post -
development drainage from the site.
10.12 Proposed watermains and sanitary sewers will be extended from the existing stubbed
services within the right-of-ways. Sanitary sewers and watermains located within Phase 9
(abutting east lands) are currently under a maintenance period as the site is under
construction. The applicant will be required to obtain written permission from the adjacent
developer before the Region can permit connections to the infrastructure from this
development.
Affordable Units
10.13 The Clarington Official Plan encourages a minimum of 30% of the proposed units to be
affordable. The Planning Act also requires the adequate provision of a full range of
housing, including affordable housing as a matter of Provincial interest. The Planning
Rationale Report submitted by the applicant does not indicate that any affordable housing
units will be provided. Staff will continue to have discussions with the Owner to encourage
affordable housing within the development. If any affordable units are provided, a separate
affordable housing agreement would need to be entered into in order to guarantee the
units remain affordable for 25 years or more.
Page 38
Municipality of Clarington Page 11
Report PDS-013-25
10.14 In recent years, the Province of Ontario has also updated the applicable Planning
Legislation to include the establishment of additional dwelling units, accessory dwelling
units, etc. in order to alleviate the current housing demand. For this reason, the inclusion
of accessory/additional dwelling units within the proposed single or townhouses, where
possible will be encouraged.
Further Considerations
10.15 Staff will continue to review the submitted Rezoning and Subdivision applications and work
with the applicant to address all technical matters. Agency and department comments will
be addressed in a subsequent recommendation report to Committee and Council.
10.16 The purpose of the Public Meeting is to provide an opportunity for further public input.
These public comments will be reviewed, discussed with the applicant and addressed in a
subsequent staff report.
11. Financial Considerations
11.1 Not applicable, as this is a public meeting report to gather public input on the proposal.
Financial considerations will be addressed in a subsequent recommendation report,
including consideration of the proposed park.
12. Strategic Plan
12.1 The proposed development will be reviewed against the three pillars of the Clarington
Strategic Plan 2024-27. Staff will give special attention to the priorities of growing
resilient, sustainable, and complete communities and connecting residents through the
design of safe, diverse, inclusive, and vibrant communities. An analysis of the proposed
development's interaction with the specific priorities of the Strategic Plan will be
included in the future recommendation report.
13. Climate Change
13.1 The application, including submitted reports are being reviewed by staff and circulated
agencies. Analysis of the proposal, including the impacts on climate change will be
discussed in a subsequent recommendation report.
14. Concurrence
Not Applicable.

2. Background
2.1 A pre -consultation meeting (PC2022-0042) was held on June 2, 2022, for a proposal for
20 lots for detached dwellings, a walkway, a stormwater management pond and public
roads in Newtonville.
2.2 On October 23, 2024, Planfarm Inc. on behalf of WDD International Inc., submitted
applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a
development consisting of 19 residential lots with a minimum lot size of 0.2 hectares
each, a 0.28-hectare stormwater management pond, a walkway and new public roads.
Access is proposed from Regional Road 18 and a 6.0 metre emergency access which is
also a walkway provides a connection from Church Lane into the site.
2.3 The rezoning and subdivision applications were deemed complete on December 9,
2024.
I Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The subject lands are located in the north-east quadrant of the Hamlet of Newtonville.
There is frontage on Regional Road 18 and Church Lane.
3.2 The subject lands are 5.64 hectares in size and are part of the hamlet boundary. The
lands subject to the applications are currently vacant but have been cultivated in the
past. A wetland has been identified in the location of the proposed stormwater
management pond.
3.3 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North: Farmed lands outside of the hamlet boundary.
East: Existing detached residential dwellings on large lots.
South: Existing detached residential dwellings, Newtonville Community Hall and a
parkette.
West: Existing single detached residential dwellings.
4. Provincial Policy
The Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
Page 55
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report PDS-014-25
4.1 The PPS 2024 provides policies to support the creation of a full range of housing, while
respecting the rural character in rural settlement areas. It also encourages the use of
existing infrastructure, protection of the natural environment and creating complete
communities.
4.2 The subject lands are located within a settlement area, where the PPS promotes infill
development and where existing infrastructure, and public services facilities will be
utilized.
4.3 The diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area, and the long-term
ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained,
restored or, where possible, improved, recognizing linkages between and among
natural heritage features and areas, surface water features, and ground water features.
Development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural
heritage features and areas unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has
been evaluated, and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on
the natural features or their ecological functions.
4.4 The proposal conforms with the PPS 2024.
5. Official Plan
Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham)
5.1 On September 3, 2024, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved Envision
Durham, which is the new Regional Official Plan, with modifications. The Durham
Region Official Plan (Envision Durham) designates the subject lands as" Hamlets."
5.2 Envision Durham encourages development within hamlets to be compatible with
surrounding uses and the rural landscape consisting of a mix of housing types
appropriate for existing service levels, employment uses and commercial uses that meet
the needs of the residents of the hamlets and the surrounding rural area.
5.3 The Regional Official Plan encourages a wide range of residential dwellings that are
locally appropriate and consistent with the character of the area. The proposed
development supports Regional policies guiding the development of Hamlets by
promoting housing opportunities within an existing neighbourhood area and by
proposing to develop the subject lands in an efficient manner while maintaining an
attractive and contextually appropriate built -form.
5.4 The proposal conforms to Envision Durham.

Report PDS-014-25
Municipality of Clarington Official Plan
5.5 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands "Hamlet."
5.6 New residential lots in any rural settlement area with or without municipal water shall
have a minimum lot size of 0.4 hectares, must meet the requirements of the Region of
Durham Health Department for private services to ensure there are no adverse impacts
for water supply and quality.
5.6 Development within a hamlet shall:
a) Complement and enhance the historic character of the hamlet;
b) Provide housing designed to complement the architecture of existing buildings;
c) Implement a grid street system; and
d) Consider opportunities and innovations to provide a more compact settlement form
5.7 The Clarington Official Plan has specific policies for development in Newtonville. The
following policies apply:
a) All development shall be serviced by municipal water supply;
b) The minimum lot size may be reduced provided an engineering study demonstrates
to the satisfaction of the approval authorities that the soil and groundwater conditions
can support reduced lot sizes without contaminating soil or groundwater;
c) No further development shall be permitted upon reaching the capacity of the
municipal water supply system, regardless of whether designated lands remain vacant;
and
d) No further development shall be permitted if there is evidence of soil and
groundwater contamination which cannot be mitigated, until such time as the
contamination is addressed to the satisfaction of the approval authorities.
5.8 The relevant studies are under review to determine the appropriate lot sizes. Staff are
reviewing studies associated with the proposed removal of natural features to determine
whether the proposal conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. Conformity with the
Clarington Official Plan will be discussed in a subsequent report.

Report PDS-014-25
6. Zoning By-law 84-63
6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" Zone and
"Residential Hamlet (RH)" Zone within Zoning By-law 84-63.
6.2 Finalization of appropriate zone uses and provisions will be determined after all public
and agency comments have been received and will be brought forward in a subsequent
recommendation. A Holding (H) Symbol will be implemented as part of the Zoning By-
law Amendment to ensure the conditions of the draft plan of subdivision have been
fulfilled.
6.3 A draft Zoning By-law Amendment that was submitted as part of the applications is
included in Attachment 1.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 The applicant has submitted the required supporting plans and studies which have beer
circulated to departments and agencies for review and comment. The list of studies and
drawings are on the development application webpage at

10. Discussion
10.1 The proposed residential development is located within the Hamlet of Newtonville and
the proposed residential uses represent a form of development encouraged for the most
part by Provincial, Regional, and Municipal policies. It aims to develop a total of 19 lots
for detached residential units, a stormwater management pond and a
walkway/emergency access. All lots will be on new public roads. Two of the 19 lots on
the east side of the subject site are shown as temporary turning circles and will not be
available for building permits until the lands to the east are developed, making road
connections to the east possible.
10.2 Block Plan
The draft plan shows one access point onto Regional Road 18 and an emergency
access to the south. A Block Plan was submitted showing how the lands to the east,
including road connections to Durham Highway 2 can be developed within the
boundaries of the hamlet (see Attachment 3). Staff will review the Block Plan to
determine if the proposed future land uses and street layout is appropriate for
Newtonville and will be addressed in a subsequent recommendation report.
10.3 The Clarington Official Plan contains policies and guidelines to be considered for
developments within Hamlets. In addition to those policies, there are also specific
policies related to development in Newtonville. Development in Newtonville must be
serviced with municipal water supply. A municipal wastewater system is not available in
Newtonville. Lot sizes can be reduced subject the appropriate studies are submitted
and deemed satisfactory to the approval authority, being Durham Region Health
Services Department. The lot sizes as proposed are approximately 0.2 hectare in size.
The applicant has submitted the appropriate studies to support the reduction of lots
sized
Wetland
10.4 Although not mapped on Schedule "DY to the Clarington Official Plan, a wetland on the
westerly portion of the site has been identified. This is the site of the proposed
stormwater management pond on the draft plan. The Official Plan allows for the removal
of a wetland if it is under 0.5 hectares in size, among other criteria and it can be
demonstrated through an EIS that the removal is warranted. It appears that this feature
is also north of the limits of the proposed draft plan and may exceed the 0.5 hectare size
limit for removal. An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is currently under review by
staff and will determine the exact limits of development and wetland. The EIS must
demonstrate that the proposal is consistent with Official Plan policies.

Report PDS-014-25
10.5 The findings of the studies are to be reflected in the implementing site -specific zoning -
by -law. Further discussion on the findings of the EIS and the appropriateness of the
wetland as a stormwater management pond will be required once the review is
complete and will be discussed in a subsequent recommendation report.
11. Financial Considerations
11.1 Not applicable, as this is a public meeting report to gather public input on the proposal.
Financial considerations will be addressed in the subsequent recommendation report.
12. Strategic Plan
12.1 The proposed development will be reviewed against the three pillars of the Clarington
Strategic Plan 2024-27. Staff will give special attention to the priorities of growing
resilient, sustainable, and complete communities and connecting residents through the
design of safe, diverse, inclusive, and vibrant communities. An analysis of the proposed
development's interaction with the specific priorities of the Strategic Plan will be
included in the future recommendation report.
13. Climate Change
13.1 The application, including submitted reports are being reviewed by staff and circulated
agencies. Analysis of the proposal, including the impacts on climate change will be
discussed in a subsequent recommendation report.
14. Concurrence
14.1 Not applicable.
15. Conclusion
15.1 The purpose of this report is to provide background information and obtain comments
on the submitted applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law
Amendment for 19 residential units at the Statutory Public Meeting under the Planning
Act. Staff will continue to review and process the applications, including consideration of
department, agency and public feedback and will prepare a subsequent
recommendation report for Council's consideration. Comments received at this public
meeting will be considered and included in the final recommendation report.

The proposed development involves the full
Conservation Authority
removal of the wetland habitat for the
implementation of the Stormwater
Management pond. The GRCA strongly
encourages that the wetland feature be
retained, however GRCA could support the
removal of the wetland if the upper and lower
tier municipality also support its removal due
to the following:
a. Even after the removal of the
feature the Conservation
Authority Act tests are satisfied;
b. The wetland is under 0.5 ha in
size;
c. The wetland appears to be
anthropogenically formed;
d. The wetland provides minimal
flood mitigation and erosion
control; and
e. The wetland is disconnected
from larger wetlands.
The hydrogeological assessment meets the
guideline requirements and demonstrates a
sound understanding of site -specific
conditions. GRCA staff concurs with the
recommendations made by Cambium Inc. and
agrees that the site is feasible for the
proposed development.
