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 Planning Statement focuses 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 that 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 before other modes of travel.
4.3 The application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement.

8. Public Submissions
8.1 A Statutory Public Meeting was held on December 5, 2022. Notification was provided to all
property owners within 120 metres of the subject lands, and public meeting signs were installed
on Bloor Street, Courtice Road and Hancock Road.
8.2 No member of the public spoke at the statutory public meeting. Staff received comments from a
local councillor and enquiries from members of the public. The public enquiries were general in
nature, requesting additional information on the files.
8.3 Public comments are discussed in Section 10 of this report.
9. Department and Agency Comments
9.1 Various agencies and internal departments were circulated for comments on the applications.
Attachment 3 to this report is a chart showing the list of circulated parties.
10. Discussion
Conformity with the Official Plan and Secondary Plan
10.1 The proposed development of a maximum 269 detached dwellings, 71 street townhouse
dwellings and Medium Density Regional Corridor and High-Density Residential Blocks is
consistent with the Low Density, Medium Density and High-Density Residential designations of
the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan.
10.2 The proposed development includes a neighbourhood park and open spaces (environmental
protection lands) being conveyed to the Municipality, which me ets 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 north. The road pattern allows for connectivity to the planned future
developments to the north.
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PDS-028-25
10.4 The Draft Plan shows street townhouses across from street townhouses. The Official Plan
policies state that multi-unit residential shall not be sited on opposite sides of the street unless
adequate on-street parking can be provided to the satisfaction of the Municipality. An on-street
parking plan has been submitted and deemed satisfactory by Staff.
10.5 The residential dwelling types include 9.0 metre, 9.7 metre and 11.0 metre detached dwellings
and 6.0 metre street townhouses. The Secondary Plan permits a height of 3 storeys. Additional
dwelling units are also permitted. The proposal is consistent with the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan policies.
10.6 In 1999 Council passed a resolution that street townhouses must be a minimum of 7 metres and
single detached dwellings a minimum of 10 metres to sufficiently accommodate on street parking.
This has been the standard in Clarington, with the exception of streets that can accommodate
more parking on a rear lane or on a window street. The proposal has multiple window streets to
Hancock Road and streets with frontage to a stormwater management pond and park block. This
will allow for a percentage of the lots to have smaller lot frontages while ensuing that on -street
parking requirements can be met. The Applicant has prepared an on-street parking plan to
demonstrate that Clarington’s requirements can be met.
10.7 The applicant has prepared an on-street parking plan to demonstrate that Clarington’s
requirements can be met. Of the 340 units 147 single detached units are 9.0 metres, 43 units are
9.7 metres, and 122 units are 11.0 metres. All street home townhouse units will be 6.0 metres for
interior lots and 8.0 metres for exterior lots.
9.0 Metre Frontages
10.8 There are 147 single detached dwelling units that have 9.0 metre frontages.
10.9 These lots will accommodate two parking spaces in total rather than the Zoning By-law standard
of two outdoor parking spaces. This represents 54% of the total number of single detached
dwelling units in the proposed plan. The Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS) data from 2016
indicates that 26% of households in Clarington have one vehicle. Compared to earlier survey
years, the number of households with only one vehicle has steadily decreased from 1986 (32%)
to 2016 (26%), so it is likely that this percentage is lower today. TTS is a comprehensive travel
survey conducted across the GTHA to understand household travel patterns, vehicle ownership,
and commuting behavior. This is the most recent version available that includes travel data for
Clarington.
10.10 Based on this data, the reduction of single detached dwelling lots to have a total of two parking
spaces rather than a total of two outdoor parking spaces can be accommodated based on the
number of households with one vehicle.
9.7 and 11 Meter Frontages
10.11 There are 122 single detached dwelling units that will have 9.7 and 11.0 metre frontages.
10.12 Zoning By-law 84-63 requires 2 outdoor parking spaces. As addressed in the proposed Zoning
By-law (see Attachment 2) the applicants are proposing 2 outdoor parking spaces and 2 indoor
parking spaces which exceeds our requirements. The applicants have also demonstrated that
Municipality of Clarington Page 11
Report PDS-028-25
even with the excess in parking that they can still accommodate street trees, infrastructure and
utilities in the boulevard.
Municipal Services
10.13 The proposed development relies on the extension of a feeder main along Bloor Street and the
sanitary sub trunk being installed north along Courtice Road to Bloor Street.
10.14 The applicant is aware of these servicing constraints at this time and has agreed to the
appropriate conditions of draft approval being included.
Parks and Open Space
10.15 The Clarington Official Plan and Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan provides direction on
planning and acquiring parkland. Whereas the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan
(PRCMP) provides guidance on designing and developing parks. The applicant will be required to
dedicate the 2.4 hectare (5.9 acre) neighborhood park to the Municipality, as well as the open
space lands.
10.16 The applicant submitted a park facility fit plan demonstrating the dedicated parkland is suitable for
development. The applicant will be required to submit refine the facility fit to a park concept plan
for approval prior to registration of the plan incorporating the amenities required by the
Municipality. The park concept plan will be evaluated through a collaborative process involving
Planning and Infrastructure and Public Services to ensure alignment with the needs identified in
the PRCMP. The applicant will also be required to submit a landscaped plan for open space
including trail location to the Municipality for approval prior to the registration of the plan.
10.17 Staff met with Minto representatives several times since the Statutory Public Meeting, and
they agreed to provide the parkland requirements pre-bill 23 for their applications and at
no cost to the municipality for any over-dedication. As a result of these conversations,
Minto increased the proposed park size from 3.7 acres to 5.93 acres. 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.
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
10.18 A rezoning is required to facilitate the development and rezone the lands from Agricul tural to
permit 9.0 metre, 9.7 metre and 11.0 metre detached dwellings and 6.0 metre street townhouses.
See Attachment 2 for the recommended Zoning By-law Amendment.
Municipality of Clarington Page 12
Report PDS-028-25
10.19 The Zoning By-law Amendment includes a (H) Holding provision and will be removed
once the applicant has entered a Subdivision Agreement, and all conditions therein have
been fulfilled. The draft conditions of the subdivision application will be prepared at a later
date, provided Council supports the recommendations in this report.
Affordable Units
10.20 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.
10.21 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.
Public Comments
10.22 While no members of the public spoke at the December 5, 2022, statutory public meeting,
staff received comments from a local councillor and enquiries from various members of
the public. The public enquiries were general in nature, requesting additional information
on the files.
11. Financial Considerations
11.1 This proposal conforms with the Clarington Official Plan and the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan. The capital infrastructure within the right of way 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 upon
assumption.
11.2 Design and construction funding requests will be made through the appropriate annual
budgeting cycles for the neighbourhood park, subject to availability of funds.
11.3 The addition of the 2.4 hectare (5.9 acre) neighbourhood park will increase operating
costs by $53,249 annually for grass cutting, maintenance, garbage collection, and upkeep
of playgrounds and hard structures. The staffing impact is 0.3 Full Time Employees.
Future budget requests will account for any additional funds or staff required to maintain
services levels. Public Works will work with the Deputy CAO/Treasurer of Finance to
address any financial implications of increased operational costs.
Municipality of Clarington Page 13
Report PDS-028-25
12. Strategic Plan
12.1 The proposed development has been reviewed against the pillars of the Clarington
strategic Plan 2024-27. Clarington’s Strategic Plan prioritizes applications for the creation
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 Applicant has prepared an Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan in
accordance with Clarington’s Priority Green standards for subdivisions. This project
considers climate change by considering electrical vehicle charging stations at each
proposed dwelling, improving air quality during construction by implementing dust
mitigation measures, reducing energy and water consumption and reducing the urban
heat island effect through landscaping measures.
14. Concurrence
Not Applicable.
15. Conclusion
15.1 It is respectfully recommended that Zoning By-law Amendment application by Minto
Communities Inc. consisting of 340 residential dwelling units be approved, with a (H)
Holding provision. The (H) Holding provision will be removed once the applicant enters
into a Subdivision Agreement and all the conditions are satisfied.
