5.5 The Clarington Official Plan designates the property Urban Residential, Neighbourhood
Centre, Green Space, and Environmental Protection Area and is within Newcastle
Urban Area. The area is also identified as Special Policy Area B2. Area B2 includes the
lands located north of the CN railway which are subject to a Secondary Plan. A variety
of housing forms, which may include retirement and assisted living facilities, are
encouraged subject to the Secondary Plan. Consideration shall be given to locate high

subdivision. A portion of the lands may be developed with private leasehold
arrangements and private streets.
5.6 The Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan area also includes a Neighbourhood Centre.
Neighbourhood centres are to serve as focal points for residential neighbourhoods and
provide a range of retail and service uses to meet the day to day needs. The maximum
amount of gross leasable floor space in any one Neighbourhood Centre shall be 5,000
square metres.
5.7 Bennett Road is identified as a Local Corridor north of Highway 401. Given that the
subject lands are south of Highway 401, this portion of Bennett Road is not identified as
a Local Corridor. Bennett Road is also identified as a Type C Arterial Road on Map J4
and a proposed grade separation is shown at the CN railway intersection.
5.8 Table 4-3 in the Clarington Official Plan states that areas at the edge of neighbourhoods
and adjacent to arterial roads are to have a minimum density of 19 units per net hectare
and a height ranging from 1 to 3 storeys (which can be further refined through the
secondary plan). It also provides for limited apartments, townhouses, semi-detached
dwellings, and detached dwellings.
5.9 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;
Multiple vehicular accesses from a public street shall generally be provided for each
townhouse block and each apartment block;
Each condominium corporation block shall have direct street frontage and direct
vehicular access to a public street without reliance on easements through another
condominium corporation block;
Municipality of Clarington Page 8

In order to achieve a mixture of housing types, adjacent multi-unit residential unit
types shall not replicate the same built form;
Townhouses sited on blocks shall generally not exceed 50 units and apartment
blocks shall not exceed 2 buildings; and
Where multiple mid-rise and high-rise residential developments are planned for a
given area, a phasing plan shall be required to identify common amenity areas and
shared pedestrian and/or vehicle access.
5.10 Natural Heritage Features are identified and mapped on the subject lands. The natural
heritage features are designated Environmental Protection Area. The natural heritage
system is to be protected and enhanced for the long term to promote responsible
stewardship and provide sustainable environmental, economic and social benef its.
Studies will determine the appropriate development limits and vegetation protection
zone in accordance with the Official Plan.
5.11 The proposal conforms with the Clarington Official Plan.
Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan
5.12 The subject lands are within the Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan which was adopted by
Clarington Council on April 24, 2023 and approved by the Region of Durham on
September 26, 2024.
5.13 Within the Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan the subject lands are designated, Med ium
Density Residential, High Density Residential, Neighbourhood Centre, Parkette,
Environmental Protection Area, Stormwater Management Facilities, and Green Space.
5.14 The Secondary Plan also shows lands that will be acquired by the Ministry of
Transportation along Highway 401, as well as a private road-control access into the
existing Wilmot Creek Community, which is needed with the proposed re-route of
Wilmot Creek Drive.
5.15 A local road connection is shown through the hydro corridor and connecting to the sou th
parcel also subject to Planning Act applications (SC2024-0018), as well as connecting
trails throughout the Secondary Plan Area.
5.16 Development within the Secondary Plan Area shall provide a distribution of land uses by
providing a mix of uses, heights, and densities to support a complete community. Taller
buildings are to be directed close to Highway 401 and Bennett Road.
5.17 The Medium Density Residential Designation permits a mix of housing types and
tenures in mid- and low-rise building forms. Apartments and townhouses are permitted
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-034-25
building types within the Medium Density Residential Designation. The height of
buildings shall be a minimum of two storeys and a maximum of six storeys. The
minimum density within the Medium Density Residential designation is 40 units per net
hectare. The proposal would facilitate a development of approximately 50 units per net
hectare.
5.18 The High Density Residential Designation permits mid-rise building forms mainly in
apartment building types or similar. The height of buildings shall be a minimum of six
storeys and a maximum of eight storeys. The minimum density within the High Density
Residential designation is 60 units per net hectare. The proposal would facilitate a
development of approximately 130 units per net hectare within the High Density
Residential designation.
5.19 The Neighbourhood Centre is to provide commercial uses and cultural or entertainment
opportunities in combination with residential uses. Mixed -use buildings are permitted, as
well as a grocery store. Heights can range from one to six storeys with the one storey
portion limited to 50% of all development in the Neighbourhood Centre. The minimum
density is 40 units per net hectare. The proposal shows a total of four mixed use
buildings on the two Neighbourhood Centre blocks, with heights ranging from a one
storey to six storeys.
5.20 The proposal also reflects the Land Use Schedule by providing two park blocks, a
stormwater management pond, and the open space areas.
5.21 The proposal conforms with the Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan.
6. Zoning By-law 84-63
6.1 The property is zoned “Agricultural (A)” 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 a Mixed Use
Zone and various Urban Residential Exception Zones to facilitate the development of
mixed use buildings, apartment buildings, condo townhouses and street related
townhouses, and two park blocks within the Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan Area.
6.3 Parts of the subject lands are also proposed to be rezoned to Environmental Protection
to protect the natural heritage features and reflect the open space lands, including the
stormwater management pond.
6.4 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
Municipality of Clarington Page
10
Report PDS-034-25
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 mixed-use, high and medium density blocks) have been fulfilled.
The parks will also be rezoned to an urban residential zone and will have a hold until the
lands are transferred to the Municipality.
6.5 The draft Zoning By-law Amendment submitted by GHD Limited is included in
Attachment 1 of this report.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 The applicant has submitted the required supporting plans and studies which have been

10. Discussion
10.1 The proposed residential development is located within the Newcastle Urban Boundary
and the Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan. The proposal represents a form of development
encouraged by Provincial, Regional, and Municipal policies.
10.2 The applicant has proposed a total of approximately 1,755 units consisting of 1,372
apartment units, and 383 townhouse units. The proposal also contains 1,700 square
metres of retail space within four mixed-use buildings, two parkettes, open space
blocks, a stormwater management facility and underground parking.
10.3 The proposal also shows a future public road that will connect to the proposed plan of
subdivision SC-2024-0018, as well as a private road access to the existing Wilmot
Creek Community, which is due to the re-route of Wilmot Creek Drive.
10.4 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 and through the site plan application process.
Park and Trails
10.5 The Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan indicates that parks shall be provided as part of a
connected parks and open space system. Wherever feasible, lands designated Green
Space shall incorporate parks and leisure uses for passive recreational uses. Schedule
A to the Secondary Plan shows two parkettes within the subject lands. Parkettes are
smaller scale parks and shall be between 0.5 to 1.0 hectare in size. The proposal
reflects the Secondary Plan by providing two park blocks of 0.71 and 0.6 hectares. A
Facility Fit Plan was also provided for both parkettes which shows trail connections to
the open space lands.
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
10.6 A rezoning is required to rezone the lands from “Agricultural (A) Zone” to various
appropriate “Holding - Urban Residential Exception Zones” in order to facilitate the
proposed development. The parkettes would be zoned to an “Urban Residential Type
One (R1) Zone”, with a Hold until the lands for the parkettes 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 Wilmot Secondary Plan Area.
Affordable Housing
10.7 The Wilmot Creek Secondary Plan has specific policies to facilitate affordable housing.
And the Clarington Official Plan encourages a minimum of 30% of the proposed units to
Municipality of Clarington Page
12
Report PDS-034-25
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.
10.8 The Secondary Plan policies encourage the development of affordable housing within
the Secondary Plan boundaries. Staff will work with the applicant to encourage the
inclusion of affordable housing units.
10.9 The application currently does not mention any intention to provide affordable or rental
housing. Further discussions with the Owner in this regard will be required and would be
discussed further in a future recommendation report.

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
