Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan Area
Roll Number: 1817-010-050-05800
2. Background
2.1 On December 2, 2024, GHD submitted a Clarington Official Plan Amendment, Zoning by-
law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision for the subject lands along the west side of
Courtice Road and south of Bloor Street (see Figure 1 and Attachment 1). A pre-
consultation meeting was held on June 15, 2023, where preliminary comments from
external agencies and internal departments were received.
2.2 The applications were deemed complete on January 23, 2025, and circulated to external
agencies and internal departments for comments. Because the proponent’s initial
submission was not consistent with several SCSP policies, concerns regarding access and
availability of infrastructure, Staff recommended deferring a public meeting to coincide with
the second submission.
2.3 On November 10, 2025, GHD submitted the second submission. The second submission
incorporated revisions to address Staff’s comments on the initial proposal and is currently
under review by Staff, applicable agencies and departments.
2.4 A list of supporting materials is available on the project webpage:

3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The subject lands are located on the west side of Courtice Road and south of Bloor Street
within the Courtice Urban Area. The lands are currently vacant and are situated within the
SCSP area. The southern portion of the property, which borders the SCSP, is located within
the Council-adopted Courtice Transit-Oriented Community Secondary Plan Area. The site
exhibits a topographic high point along its western boundary, with grades that generally
slope downward toward the southeast, in the direction of Courtice Road. The property has
frontage on Regional Road 34 (Courtice Road), which is identified as a Type ‘A’ Arterial
Road and Regional Corridor in the Clarington Official Plan.
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report PDS-016-26
3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North: Directly north of the subject property is an existing agricultural operation, along
with multiple places of worship and a small number of rural residential
dwellings fronting onto Bloor Street.
East: East of the property on the east side of Courtice Road, are vacant agricultural
lands within the ‘Whitebelt’, consisting of cultivated farmland and areas within
Clarington’s Natural Heritage System adjacent to Tooley Creek and its
tributaries.
South: The portion of the property south of the proposed development is within the
Courtice Transit-Oriented Community Secondary Plan Area and is comprised
of vacant agricultural lands with pockets of natural heritage features, and an
existing rural residential dwelling.
West: Directly abutting to the west are undeveloped agricultural lands planned for
redevelopment in accordance with the SCSP. Further to the west are lands
within the SCSP area currently being developed to accommodate a low-
density residential plan of subdivision fronting onto Trulls Road.
4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS) 2024
4.1 The Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (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.
Municipal official plans and secondary plans, through their land use designations and
policies, serve as the primary tools 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 proposal is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement.
Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report PDS-016-26
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham)
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan (Envision Durham) designates the subject lands as
“Community Areas”. The eastern portion of the development, adjacent to Courtice Road is
designated as “Regional Corridor”.
5.2 Community Areas are to be planned for a variety of housing types, sizes, and tenures,
including single detached 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. Development within this area shall be
planned to achieve a minimum density target of 53 people and jobs per hectare. The
applicant has indicated the proposal yields a net density of 36.3 units per hectare,
conforming to the policies of the Low-Density Residential designation.
5.3 It is the policy of Council to recognize Regional Corridors generally as appropriate locations
for higher density and mixed-use development. Encouraging built form along Regional
Corridors to be multi-storey, compact, pedestrian-friendly and transit supportive, and apply
the relevant transit-oriented development design principles, in accordance with Policy 8.1.4.
5.4 The proposal conforms with the Regional Official Plan (Envision Durham).
Clarington Official Plan
5.5 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands “Urban Residential” and “Regional
Corridor”. Per Map B, the subject lands are within a Greenfield Area and per Map C, the
subject lands are within the completed SCSP. Permitted uses within the Urban Residential
designation include townhouses and single detached dwellings. The minimum density
target within the Urban Residential designation internal to a neighbourhood is 13 units per
hectare and 19 units per hectare along the edge of neighbourhoods; bu ilt form shall be
between 1-3 stories. Courtice Road is a Regional Corridor and the net density within this
area adjacent to the right of way is 85 units per net hectare; buildings can range from 3-12
stories.
5.6 Within the Regional Corridor designation, 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. Multi-unit residential
development is subject to Section 9.4.5 of the Clarington Official Plan. Policy 9.4.5 h)
requires townhouses sited on blocks to not exceed 50 units; the proponent is seeking an
Official Plan amendment to increase the maximum number of townhouses units within the
Medium Density Regional Corridor block from 50 to 88 units.
Municipality of Clarington Page 7
Report PDS-016-26
5.7 Neighbourhood Parks are to serve the basic active and low intensity recreational needs of
the surrounding residents. Neighbourhood Parks shall be of a size between 1.5 to 3
hectares depending on the area served and the activities to be provided. The proposal
includes a 1.42-hectare Neighbourhood Park which does not conform with the parent Plan
and Secondary Plan’s minimum policy requirement.
5.8 The proposal does not conform with the Clarington Official Plan. Staff are continuing to
process the development application and working with the applicants to address the above
noted policies. The following general criteria shall apply to the review of all Official Plan
Amendment applications:
a) Conformity to the goals, objectives and policies of this Plan, the Durham Regional
Official Plan, and Provincial policies and plans.
b) Suitability of the location for the proposed use;
c) Compatibility with existing and planned land uses in the surrounding area;
d) The impact on the natural environment;
e) Need for the proposed use;
f) Availability of supporting capital works and services;
g) Fiscal impact on Municipal capital works and services;
h) Comments of public agencies;
i) Any other specific requirements of the Municipality; and
j) Contribution or enhancement toward healthy neighbourhood design.
Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan (SCSP)
5.9 The subject lands are within the SCSP. 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. The SCSP designates the western portion of the
lands as “Neighbourhood Park”. The locations of Neighbourhood Parks are shown on
Schedule A. The precise size and location of Neighbourhood Parks are determined through
the development review process and based on the park policies within Section 18 of the
Clarington Official Plan.
5.10 The intersection of Bloor Street and Courtice Road is identified as a “Prominent
Intersection”. Bloor Street and Courtice Road are to have dedicated bicycle lanes. An east-
west collector road is also proposed along the northern boundary of the site. This collector
road is to extend further west and intersect with Trulls Road. 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 Courtice Road and the future East -
West Collector located south of Bloor Street.
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report PDS-016-26
5.11 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.
5.12 The parent Official Plan Urban Residential (low density) targets are consistent with the
density targets pertaining to the SCSP. However, the Secondary Plan varies slightly from
the parent Official Plan policy relating to the Medium Density Regional Corridor designation.
The Secondary Plan permits a minimum density target of 60 un its per net hectare (for an
individual development application) yet maintains the vision to achieve an overall average
density of 85 units per hectare within this designation. Additionally, the Secondary Plan
permits a maximum height of 6 stories within the Medium Density Regional Corridor. In this
instance, there is an inconsistency with the parent Plan, therefore the Secondary Plan will
prevail.
5.13 Low Density Residential shall have a minimum net density of 13 units per hectare. The
maximum height shall not exceed 3 storeys and single-detached, semi-detached and
townhouse units are permitted. Detached and semi-detached dwelling units shall account
for 80 percent of the total number of units in the low-density residential designation. The
applicant has submitted an Official Plan Amendment to deviate from the SCSP policy 4.5.3
to permit a reduction in the minimum percentage of single detached dwellings from 80% to
71% and to increase the maximum percentage of townhouses from 20% to 29%.
5.14 Neighbourhood Parks are to be between 1.5 and 3 hectares in size that provide a variety of
amenities, including sports fields. They are to be located in central locations to allow for
good accessibility by walking. The proposal includes a 1.42-hectare park that does not
conform to the minimum requirements in the Secondary Plan for a Neighbourhood Park.
5.15 The proposal does not conform to the Secondary Plan. Staff are continuing to process the
development application and working with the applicants to address the above noted policy
in accordance with the general criteria which applies to the review of all Official Plan
Amendment applications, the general criteria can be referenced above in Section 5.8 of this
report.
6. Zoning By-law 84-63
6.1 The subject lands are zoned “Agricultural (A) Zone” within Zoning By-law 84-63. A Zoning
By-law Amendment is required to permit the proposed development which consists of
single detached dwellings and street townhouses. The zoning by-law amendment under
review is applicable to all blocks in the proposed draft plan with the exception of the
medium-density regional corridor block.
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-016-26
6.2 The proposed zoning amendment would re-zone the low-density residential area from the
Agricultural (A) Zone to an Urban Residential Type Three Exception (R3-XX) Zone with a
holding provision. Lands identified as open space, along with their associated buffers,
would be rezoned to Environmental Protection (EP) Zone. Additionally, the Neighbourhood
Park would be rezoned to Urban Residential Type One (R1) Zone. The applicant’s draft
Zoning By-law and corresponding schedule are provided as Attachment 3 to this report.
6.3 The proposed Holding provision would 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 submissions of
additional information, plans and reports; and
provide for municipal services and road works that will service the development.
6.4 The Medium Density Regional Corridor block will remain zoned Agricultural (A) until the
concept plan is updated to reflect the proposed development phasing and the applicable
SCSP policies. The zoning review will align with a future Zoning By-law Amendment and
Site Plan Control application, which will be submitted and processed at an appropriate
stage. A subsequent report recommending the proposed zoning change for the Medium
Density Regional Corridor block will be brought forward to the Planning and Development
Committee at the appropriate time.
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/1350CourticeRd 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 Submissions
8.1 Public Notice was sent to 8 landowners within 120 metres of the subject lands on January
22, 2026, informing them of the complete application and Public Meeting. Signage was also
posted on the property, along Courtice Road, advising the community of the complete
application received by the Municipality and details of the public meeting. Details of the
proposed application and Public Meeting were also posted on the Municipality’s website,
and in the Clarington Connected e-newsletter.
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PDS-016-26
8.2 At the time of writing this report, staff have received one comment from a member of the
public. The written comment was not objective to the proposal and was general in nature.
Any additional comments received from the public, including those received during the
Statutory Public Meeting, will be considered and included in a forthcoming reco mmendation
report.
9. Departmental and Agency Comments
9.1 The applications were circulated to internal departments and external agencies for review
and 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 development integrates a mix of built form typologies, natural heritage
protection, and supporting infrastructure within the SCSP Area. Development of the
Medium Density Regional Corridor Block will be subject to future development applications.
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 proposed Neighbourhood Park on the subject lands is identified on Schedule B within
the Secondary Plan. The Official Plan and Secondary Plan require Neighbourhood Parks to
be a minimum of 1.5 to 3 hectares. The proposed park area is 1.42 hectares and does not
meet the minimum required parkland area which will be further discussed with the
proponent to address this deficiency.
10.3 The applicant has proposed temporary public access to the low-density residential area via
a temporary access road from Courtice Road to Street C. This temporary access would
bisect the medium density regional corridor block. The temporary right of way would remain
in place as a primary access point until the future east-west collector road is constructed.
Ongoing discussions with departments and agencies will continue to progress to determine
the suitability of this configuration. This road network configuration would be temporary until
the adjacent property to the North is developed to accommodate the north half of the east-
west collector road (Street A).
10.4 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 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
within the Medium Density Regional Corridor Block.
Municipality of Clarington Page 11
Report PDS-016-26
10.5 Staff are continuing discussions internally and working with the applicant to address
department and agency concerns related to the proposed servicing and availability/capacity
of infrastructure for the development, the proposed stormwater management plans, road
design, and the lack of transit infrastructure. This includes Farmington Drive (Street B on
the Draft Plan) which is subject to an ongoing Environmental Study to determine its ultimate
alignment. The ultimate alignment will determine if the location of Street B is in the
appropriate location to align with its extension to the north and south of the subject lands.
Additionally, addressing concerns related to the availability of water and sewer
infrastructure which is being coordinated with the Courtice Servicing Landowners Group of
local Developers, Municipality of Clarington, and Durham Region.
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 circula ted
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 an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and
Draft Plan of Subdivision for 62 residential units that consists of 44 single det ached dwelling
units, 18 townhouse units, and a medium density block, at the Statutory Public Meeting
under the Planning Act. Comments received at this public meeting will be considered and
addressed in the final recommendation report. 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 on the Official
Plan Amendment, and Zoning By-Law Amendment. The Draft Plan of Subdivision approval
has been delegated to the Deputy CAO of Planning and Infrastructure Services.
