4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
4.1 The Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024) encourages planning authorities to create
healthy, livable, and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix
of housing types and development patterns, while making efficient use of land and
infrastructure. Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification are to be promoted
where it can be accommodated. Municipal officials plan, secondary plans, and
neighbourhood design plans support the PPS through land use designa tions and policies.
4.2 The PPS 2024 encourages a minimum density target of 50 residents and jobs per gross
hectare in designated growth areas. The applicant has indicated a density of
approximately 135.2 residents and jobs per gross hectare could be achieved from this
development proposal.
4.3 Healthy and active communities should be promoted by planning public streets to be safe,
meet the needs of pedestrians, foster social interaction, and facilitate active transportation
and community connectivity. Compact and diverse developments promote active modes
of transportation such as walking and cycling.
4.4 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. An Environmental
Impact Study has been submitted and Arborist Report and Tree Protection Plan as part of
this development proposal and will be summarized and discussed in a future
recommendation report.
4.5 The PPS (2024) also states that planning for stormwater management shall promote
stormwater management best practices, including stormwater attenuation and re -use,
water conservation and efficiency, and low impact development.
4.6 The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement.

5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham)
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham) designates the subject lands
“Regional Corridor” and “Community Areas”.
5.2 The subject lands are adjacent to Bloor Street, which is designated a “Regional “Corridor”
in Envision Durham. “Regional Corridors” are be planned and developed as higher
density mixed use areas, supporting higher order transit services and pedestrian
orientated development. Each community within this community area designation shall be
developed to incorporate the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes, and tenure
to provide living accommodations that address various socioeconomic factors.
5.3 “Community Areas” are to be planned for a variety of housing types, sizes, and tenures,
including singles and 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. The ultimate objective of “Community Areas”
is to develop complete communities that address various socio -economic factors,
providing a range of housing, transportation, and lifestyle choices, and creating
opportunities for residents to live, shop, work, and access services and amenities within
their community.
5.4 Section 5.4.5.1 of Envision Durham requires development within the designated
greenfield area shall be planned to achieve a minimum density target of not less than 53
people and jobs per hectare. A density of 135.2 people and jobs per hectare that is
projected from this development proposal per the Planning Justification Report submitted
by the agent, which exceeds the minimum density target.
5.5 Bloor Street is also identified as a High Frequency Transit Network as per Map ‘3a’ in
Envision Durham. Map ‘3b’ of Envision Durham identifies Bloor Street as a Type A Arterial
Road and Trulls Road is designated as a Type B Arterial Road on Map 3b in Envis ion
Durham.
5.6 The application conforms with the Durham Region Official Plan.
Clarington Official Plan
5.7 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands “Urban Residential” and
“Regional Corridor”. Environmental Protected lands are also identified at the southeast
corner of the subject site. Permitted uses within the Urban Residential designation include
townhouses and single detached dwellings. The minimum density target at the edge of
the neighbourhood is 19 units per hectare and internally, 13 units per hectare. The height
shall be between 1 to 3 storeys.
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report PDS-072-25
5.8 For Regional Corridors, permitted uses include apartments and mixed-use buildings.
Minimum height is 3 storeys to a maximum of 12 storeys. Townhouses are not specifically
listed within the Regional Corridor in the Clarington Official Plan, however low rise -built
forms are permitted between 3-4 storeys and the direction for this area has been
implemented through the approved Secondary Plan. The minimum net density is 85 units
per hectare. Multi-unit residential development is subject to Section 9.4.5 of the
Clarington Official Plan.
5.9 Multi-unit residential uses are also to be developed on the basis of the following site
development criteria, as per policy 9.4.5:
a) The site is suitable in terms of size and shape to accommodate the proposed density
and building form;
b) Compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood in terms of scale, massing, height
and siting, setbacks, shadowing, and the location of parking and amenity areas;
c) Minimize impact of traffic on local streets;
d) Multiple vehicular accesses from a public street shall generally be provided for each
townhouse block and each apartment block;
e) 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;

shall not replicate the same built form;
g) Townhouses shall not be sited on opposite sides of the street in order to allow for
sufficient on-street parking;
h) Townhouses sited on blocks shall generally not exceed 50 units and apartment blocks
shall not exceed 2 buildings;
i) Street townhouses shall generally not comprise more than 6 attached units; and
j) 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 It is important to note that lands in Clarington’s Natural Heritage System and Minimum
Vegetation Protection Zone will be required to be dedicated to the Municipality, free and
clear of all encumbrances as part of the development application process and does not
count towards parkland dedication.
5.11 Bloor Street is a “Type A Arterial Road” and Trulls Road is a “Type B Arterial Road” on
Map J2 in the Clarington Official Plan
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report PDS-072-25
5.12 The south portion of the site shows Special Study Area 4 which delineates the Protected
Transit Station Area on Land Use Map A2 of the Clarington Official Plan. Special Study
Area 4 is now considered to be adjacent to the subject lands. Given the approval of the
Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan, this area, which was previously shown as Light
Industrial on the subject property, is now intended for residential uses. Policy 12.4.2 of the
Secondary Plan states that, in the event of a conflict between the Official Plan and this
Secondary Plan, the policies of the Secondary Plan shall prevail.
Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
5.13 The subject lands are within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan. Within the
Secondary Plan, the subject lands are designated “Medium Density Regional Corridor”
and “Low Density Residential” as shown on Schedule A of the Secondary Plan. There is
also an Environmental Constraint overlay at the southeast corner of the site, as well as a
parkette proposed on the subject lands, approximately 0.5 ha in size, and adjacent to the
site, to the east, an “Elementary School” symbol.
5.14 The intersection of Bloor Street and Trulls Road is identified as a “Prominent
Intersection”. Bloor Street and Trulls Road are to have dedicated bicycle lanes. An east-
west collector road is also proposed approximately midway through the site. This collector
road is to extend further east and connects to Courtice Road. A trail is also shown
Schedule B of the Secondary Plan, which will be on the subject lands, which is adjacent
to the environmental protection area. It runs north and south and connects into the
proposed school site. A portion of this site appears to contain (partially) the west portion
of the school site.
5.15 The “Medium Density Regional Corridor” designation permits a mix of housing types in
mid-rise building forms. Retail and service uses shall be provided to achieve a variety of
land uses within walking distance to the residential areas. Permitted uses include
apartment buildings, townhouses, and dwelling units within mixed use buildings. Retail
and service uses are only permitted on the ground floor of a mixed -use building and
entrances oriented to the arterial road. These uses are encouraged at the ‘Prominent
Intersection’ of Bloor Street and Trulls Road in the Secondary Plan. Within the “Medium
Density Regional Corridor”, the building heights shall be between 3 to 6 storeys.
5.16 Development within the “Medium Density Regional Corridor” designation shall have an
overall average density of 85 units per net hectare. In no case shall an individual
development application have a density of less than 60 units per net hectare. The highest
and most dense forms of development shall be located fronting Bloor Street.
Development shall provide a transition, locating less dense and lower-scale buildings in
locations adjacent to the “Low-Density Residential” designation within the urban
residential area. Within the “Medium Density Regional Corridor” designation, buildings
and townhouses less than 4 storeys in height are not permitted within 50 metres of the
intersection of Bloor Street and Trulls Road. The link townhouses proposed within the
Medium Density Regional Corridor indicate a height of three storeys and appear to be
within 50 metres of the intersection. Further review and confirmation would be required
and may result in an Official Plan Amendment to facilitate this proposal as currently
shown.
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-072-25
5.17 Section 9.2.5 of the Secondary Plan indicates that development proposals and all public
roads shall be designed to connect with the existing road network to create a rectilinear
grid pattern of roads that defines development blocks and establishes a highly
interconnected and permeable network that supports active transportation and maximizes
accessibility and support for transit.
5.18 Detached and townhouse dwellings are permitted uses in the “Low Density Residential”
designation. Detached units shall comprise a minimum of 80% of the total number of units
in this designation. Also, building heights cannot exceed 3 stories and the minimum
density is 13 units per net hectare. It is important to note that private streets and private
lanes are not permitted within the “Low Density Urban Residential” designation.
5.19 Within the Secondary Plan a Parkette is within the area of the subject lands on Schedule
A. The park is approximately 0.5 ha and the precise location of the parkette shall be
determined at the time of development review and approval, based on the parkland
provision requirements. Based on the proposal for 370 residential units, a parkette size of
up to 0.617 hectares would be required. Parkettes are intended to be smaller scale parks,
between 0.5 to 1.0 hectare in size, and are to provide a variety of amenities, but do not
contain sports fields. Parkettes contribute to the variety of leisure and recreational
amenities in the community and improve accessibility to park space by walking. Parks are
encouraged to be bordered by public streets, natural heritage areas, or public facilities
such as schools. Residential and commercial uses backing onto parks shall be
minimized.
5.20 The current proposal does not show a parkette and proposes to designate the lands as
Low Density Residential. An Official Plan Amendment has been prepared by the applicant
and is included in Attachment 1 of this report.
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 The subject property is zoned “Agricultural (A)” within Zoning By-Law 84-63. A Zoning By-
law Amendment is required to permit the proposed development which contains a range
of building typologies, including single detached dwellings, townhouses, and two six
storey apartment buildings, with ground floor commercial uses
6.2 The proposed zoning by-law amendment would allow for a total of 370 residential units,
while also protecting environmentally sensitive lands (see Attachment 2). Four zones are
proposed with a Holding (H) Symbol which would be lifted once all the conditions of the
Draft Plan of Subdivision are fulfilled and the Site Plan Agreement is finalized for the
medium-density block. The proposed zones include “Urban Residential Exception (R2-
XX) Zone”, “Urban Residential Exception (R3-XX) Zone”, Residential Mixed-Use
Exception (MU2-XX)”, and “Environmental Protection (EP)” (see Attachment 2).
6.3 Appropriate zone categories will be reviewed and addressed in a subsequent
recommendation report.

Report PDS-072-25
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
http://www.clarington.net/PTLot30 and are also available upon request. A summary of the
submitted reports and studies will be provided in a future recommendation report.
8. Public Notice and Submission
8.1 Public Notice was sent to 26 households within 300 metres of the subject lands on
November 19, 2025. Signage was also posted on the property, along Bloor Street and
Trulls, 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, Staff have not received any comments from the public.
Any comments received, including from the Statutory Public Meeting, will be reviewed
and addressed 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. All received comments will be addressed in the subsequent
recommendation report.
10. Discussion
10.1 The proposed development integrates a mix of built form typologies, natural heritage
protection, and supporting infrastructure within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
Area. Development of the Medium Density Regional Corridor Block will be subject to a
future Site Plan Approval application. Through this process, Municipal Staff, in
collaboration with internal departments and external agencies, will undertake a
comprehensive review to ensure the detailed design and functionality of the site meet all
applicable standards, policies, and best practices.
10.2 The proposal does not show a parkette as identified on the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan Land Use Map. Based on the proposed units, a park of about 0.617
hectares can be required and would meet the minimum size re quirements for a parkette.
The Planning Justification Report indicates that the park is proposed to be relocated
further east, off the subject site, and would therefore shift the school site further to the
east so that it is adjacent to two collector roads. Staff will review the application
determine if the proposed Official Plan Amendment is appropriate. As an alternative,
cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication will be required.
Municipality of Clarington Page 11
Report PDS-072-25
10.3 The southeast portion of the site contains an environmental overlay. The defined limits of
the Environmental Protection Area and the associated Minimum Vegetation Protection
Zone (MVPZ) will be determined through the Environmental Impact Study and the
applicable Clarington Official Plan policies. If any portion of the proposed development
(lots, development block, etc.) is to be located within the MVPZ, Staff require the impacts
of the net loss vs gain be assessed in the required Environmental Impact Study.
10.4 Municipal staff have requested a 23‑metre right‑of‑way for Street D, which is planned
as a collector road extending east to connect with Courtice Road in accordance with the
Secondary Plan. This connection is critical for providing an east‑west route through the
neighbourhood as an alternative to Bloor Street and for enabling access to the adjacent
school site and neighbourhood park planned further east of the subject lands. Since the
site currently has only one proposed vehicular access until adjacent developments are
completed, a temporary emergency vehicle access may be require d in the interim.
11. Financial Considerations
11.1 Not applicable, as this is an information report to introduce the proposal and gather public
input at the Statutory Public Meeting.
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 a strong local economy. 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 on the proposal and
obtain comments on the submitted application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning
By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision for 370 residential units and 868
square metres of commercial floor space at the Statutory Public Meeting. 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.
