COURTICE SOUTH NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN
SOUTH -WEST COURTICE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
FILE: NPA 94 -01 /CS (X -REF: DEV 89 -41, OPA 89 -32, 18T- 89037)
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD -23 -94 be received;
2. THAT the South -West Courtice Draft Neighbourhood Plan be
referred to Staff for review and further processing and a
subsequent Public Meeting report at such time the plan is ready
to be adopted by Council; and,
3. THAT the interested parties listed in this report and any
delegation be advised of Council's decision.
1. PURPOSE
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an opportunity for
public input with respect to the South -West Courtice Draft
Neighbourhood Plan. The proposed policy document covers the
lands south of Glenabbey Drive, west of Prestonvale Road, and
north and east of the Townline Road extension (see Attachment
#1) .
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 In 1989, Stolp Homes (Newcastle) Developers Inc. submitted a
plan of subdivision, an official plan amendment and rezoning
application.
In undertaking the review of the Municipality's Official Plan,
in January 1992 Council placed an administrative freeze on
processing applications in the expansion areas. However, at the
request of the applicant's agent, Council exempted Stolp Homes
from this freeze. 5 U6 ....2

REPORT NO. PD -23 -94 PAGE 2
2.2 Before Stolp Homes could proceed with the plan of subdivision it
was necessary to fulfil Section 6.1.2 iii(a) of the Official
Plan of the former Town of Newcastle which requires that
neighbourhood development plans be prepared and approved by
Council prior to the approval of plans of subdivision in the
Courtice Urban Areas. Given Council's direction to process the
applicant's proposal, the Official Plan's requirement for a
Neighbourhood Plan and limited Staff resources, the applicant
offered to undertake the Neighbourhood Plan Study through its
consultants, Tunney Planning Inc.
2.3 Staff prepared and provided a Terms of Reference to the
applicant which was presented in Report PD- 150 -92. The Terms of
Reference required a three stage process as follows:
Phase 1: Data Collection and Analysis;
Phase 2: Review of the Development Options; and,
Phase 3: Recommended Land Use Plan.
2.4 In November 1992, the applicant completed a Background Report
and accompanying Environmental Resource Analysis Report. In
addition an Options Report was completed which presented four
options for the neighbourhood. These reports were circulated to
various agencies to receive comments.
The four options were also presented to residents at an Open
House held on February 17, 1993 at Courtice Secondary School.
2.5 After reviewing the comments received by agencies and residents,
Tunney Planning, produced a consultant Recommended Plan
presenting a preferred option.
A second public workshop was held on December 1, 1993 at the
Courtice Secondary School to present the draft neighbourhood
plan. No written comments were provided by residents at this
time. ....3
REPORT NO. •D PAGE 91
2.7 Discussions with Clarington Staff, Regional Staff, and the City
of Oshawa necessitated further revisions to the road patterns.
A revised Draft Neighbourhood Plan was produced by the applicant
in December 1993. This Draft Plan has been circulated to
various agencies and Staff are still awaiting comments prior to
be in a position to recommend approval of a Neighbourhood Plan.
3. SOUTH -WEST COURTICE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
The consultant's Draft Neighbourhood Plan will include a land
use schedule and text to guide and direct growth, development,
and the utilization of land in south -west Courtice. The Plan
identifies land uses, a transportation network and development
controls intended for the study area. The South -West Courtice
Neighbourhood would be an addition to the existing Courtice
South Neighbourhood Development. The portion north of the
future extension of Bloor Street would be an extension to
Neighbourhood 2A. The lands south of the future extension of
Bloor Street would be a new Neighbourhood 2D. A copy of the
Neighbourhood Plan is attached to this report (see Attachment
#2) .
Land Use
The plan proposes the following land uses by Neighbourhood
Neighbourhood 2A Neighbourhood 2D
Expansion
Residential
Low Density Units 337 1448
Medium Density Units 113 392
High Density Units 0 222

REPORT NO. PD -23 -94 PAGE 4
Housing Mix
Neighbourhood 2A -South will accommodate approximately 1,500
persons at an overall gross residential density of 15 units per
hectare (6.25 units per acre). The proposed density split will
be 75% low density, and 25% medium density.
The planned population of Neighbourhood 2D is approximately 6,500
persons at an overall gross residential density of 17.3 units per
hectare (7 units per acre). It is expected that 70% of new
housing will be low density, 20% will be medium density and 10%
medium -high density.
Pedestrian Routes
As a means of promoting walking as the preferred mode for person
trips, the Plan identifies a series of desired pedestrian routes
following along the open space designation, future road
allowances and community facilities.
Stormwater Facilities
Stormwater management techniques are incorporated to mitigate the
impacts of development on water quality and quantity consistent
with those outlined in the Robinson Creek Master Drainage Study.
A storm water management facility is shown adjacent to the
neighbourhood park block and will incorporate wetland features
and native vegetation into the pond design.
Roads and Transit System
The road network for the entire Neighbourhood has incorporated
collector road connections to the arterial grid system and is
based upon road design standards and classifications related to
function, traffic volume and vehicular operating speed. Higher
density development is located in close proximity to future
transit routes and the planned road and walkway system.

4. PUBLIC NOTICE
4.1 Public Open Houses
In accordance with the terms of reference provided by Staff, the
applicant conducted two public open houses which were held on
February 17, 1993 and December 1, 1993.
The concerns raised by Oshawa residents to the Options Report are
summarized as follows:
• opposition to higher density residential
• traffic impacts on Grandview Drive ,
• need for connecting Bridge on Townline Road
• realignment of Bloor Street and intersection improvements.
4.2 Public Meeting
Clarington's procedures require a public meeting concerning the
South -West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan. A public notice for a
public meeting was placed in the Oshawa Times and the Courtice
News on February 9, 1994. All residents who were on the
Interested Parties List also received a notice by mail.
5. COMMENTS
5.1 The size of the Study Area was expanded in Phase 3 to include the
lands north of realigned Bloor Street (for study purposes it is
called Neighbourhood 2A- South) . This incorporates the lands held
by 3 -D Developments, who raised concerns with respect to the
exclusion of their lands north of the future Bloor Street
extension and south of Glenabbey Drive.
5.2 A number of Oshawa residents raised concerns that housing
densities will be too high. The Draft Neighbourhood Plan
proposes a gross residential density for Neighbourhood 2D of 7
units per acre in comparison to the current gross residential
density for Courtice of approximately 5 units per acre. The
proposed density is in conformity with the new Durham Region
Official Plan which promotes urban areas to be compact, efficient
and accessible comprised of mixed uses. Furthermore, it states
REPORT NO. PD -23 -94 PAGE 6
that compact form development is to take place through higher
densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas,
particularly along arterial roads and in conjunction with present
and potential transit facilities. The Draft Neighbourhood Plan
places the higher concentration of densities in a node on the
south -west corner of Prestonvale Road and Bloor Street.
5.3 A number of residents in Oshawa and the City of Oshawa Staff
raised concerns with a direct connection of the east -west
collector to Grandview Drive (a collector road in Oshawa), As a
result of ongoing discussions, the current plan proposes four
local road connections to Townline Road, one being located at
Grandview Drive. The internal road configuration would serve to
limit the amount of traffic directly accessing Grandview Drive in
Oshawa. It is impossible, however, to stop all traffic due to
the westerly orientation of trip movements and the need to
provide access to Townline Road.
5.4 The proposed addition of the South -West Neighbourhood to the
Courtice Urban Area is undertaken at the developers' initiative
to establish a planning framework for the development of those
lands. Municipal Staff have provided an outline to guide the
work of the developers, consultants, as per the Terms of
Reference contained in Staff Report PD- 150 -92. Staff have also
provided comments to the developers' consultant through this
planning exercise. Staff has not, however, completed the review
of the work undertaken to date nor do Staff endorse the proposed
Neighbourhood Plan.
5.5 The expansion lands proposed to be added by this planning
exercise will not necessarily be recommended for short term
development under the plans of subdivision submitted by various
applicants. These lands have not been accounted for within the
current Development Charges By -law. Furthermore, any emerging
planning concepts for this area would also be subject to the
growth management policies of the new Official Plan. ....7
REPORT NO. PD -23 -94 PAGE 7
It is recommended that the South -West Courtice Neighbourhood Plan
be referred back to Staff for processing and a subsequent Public
Meeting report at such time the plan is ready to be adopted by
Council.

1.0 GENERAL
The development of Neighbourhood 2A -South and Neighbourhood 2D is governed
by the policies set out in the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle (herein
known as the Official Plan) and the Regional Municipality of Durham Official Plan,
1991. The development controls set out in these documents should be read in
conjunction with the policies outlined in this Neighbourhood Plan.
2.0 HOUSING MIX
The residential areas in South -West Courtice are intended to provide a range of
low, medium and medium -high density residential uses. Neighbourhood 2A -South
will accommodate approximately 1,500 persons at an overall density of 15 units
per hectare (6.25 units per ac.). The proposed density split will be 75% low
density, and 25% medium density.
The planned population of Neighbourhood 2D is approximately 6,500 persons at
an overall density 16.75 units per hectare (approximately 7 units per ac.). It is
expected that 70% of new housing will be low density, 20% will be medium density
and 10 % medium -high density.
The Municipality will review Neighbourhoods 2A -South and 2D jointly to ensure
that the range and mix of housing types as required by the Provincial Policy
Statement of Land Use Planning for Housing and the Municipality of Clarington
Municipal Housing Statement is adhered to.
3.0 RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Throughout both Neighbourhoods, it is intended that residential development will
provide a greater range of lifecycle housing types, in order that first time home
buyers, families, empty nesters, and seniors can all be located within a short walk
of each other and need not leave the community to find appropriate housing.
1
The density ranges provided herein shall generally be used to guide development
with both Neighbourhoods. Proposals which extend beyond permitted density
ranges may be considered by Council, provided they meet the intent of this Plan.
3.1 Low Density
Low density will consist of housing forms similar in kind to detached, semi-
detached, linked, duplex, and street townhouse forms. All low density areas will
generally develop to a maximum of 25 units per net hectare (10 units per net
acre). Street Townhouse dwelling units shall be generally located at the periphery
of residential neighbourhoods within close proximity to collector or arterial roads.
3.2 Medium Density
Medium density will include the range of housing forms permitted in the low
density category, plus housing forms similar in kind to block townhouses,
maisonettes, triplex, and low rise apartments. Medium density areas will generally
develop at a range of 26 to 50 units per net hectare (10 to 20 units per net acre).
3.3 Medium -High Density
Medium -High density will permit the development of townhouse, maisonette, low
and mid -rise apartment housing forms, at a range of 51 to 100 units per net
hectare (20 to 40 units net acre). Building heights shall not exceed six storeys.
3.4 Affordable Housing
At least 25% of all dwellings proposed within Neighbourhoods 2A -South and 2D
shall conform to the affordable housing requirements in accordance with the
Provincial Policy Statement on Land Use Planning for Housing. The mix of
medium and medium -high density areas in both Neighbourhoods is intended to
provide sufficient flexibility to ensure the opportunity for affordable housing.
2
4.0 SCHOOLS
Part I established the estimated Public and Separate elementary and secondary
school populations. These estimates have resulted in the identification of a need
for one Separate elementary school in Neighbourhood 2D, and two Public
elementary school sites, one in each of the two Neighbourhoods. All schools will
be developed to the following area requirements:
Neighbourhood 2D
Public Elementary Site - 2.2 ha (5.5 ac)
Separate Elementary Site - 2.4 ha (6.0 ac)
Neighbourhood 2A -South
Public Elementary Site - 2.4 ha (6.0 ac)'
5.0 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Parks and Open Space shall be developed in accordance with existing policies of
the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle. The acquisition of these lands
will be made as a dedication under the Planning Act, 1990.
5.1 Neighbourhood Park
One Neighbourhood Park of 4.5 ha (11.0 + /- ac) is required in Neighbourhood 2D
and shall be located in proximity to the elementary schools. The approximate
location of this park is shown on Schedule ,'A'. A more precise location will be
determined at the subdivision stage.
1. The Public elementary school site in Neighbourhood 2A -South is not adjacent to a park; therefore, a larger
site is required to accommodate active facilities.
KI
519
5.2 Parkettes
One parkette of 0.5 ha and two parkettes of 0.6 ha each are to be located in
Neighbourhood 2D as shown on Schedule 'A'. The purpose of these parkettes is
to provide park space where walking distances to a Neighbourhood Park exceed
400 m. A fourth parkette is to be located in Neighbourhood 2A -South within the
Planning Precinct as described in Section 8.0 of this Plan.
5.3 Open Space
The Open Space designation extends from the central stormwater management
facility to Prestonvale Road along the western sub - tributary of Robinson Creek,
with a width conforming to the greater of the requirements of the Ministry of
Natural Resources (minimum 15.0 metres beyond the streambank), for a warm
water stream or the requirements of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority for regulatory floodplain.. Revegetation would include planting of trees
and shrubs in consideration of enhancing fisheries and wildlife habitat potential.
Any proposal to alter a section of this sub - tributary must maintain or improve its
ecological state, and incorporate natural channel design features to the satisfaction
of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, Ministry of Natural Resources,
and the Municipality of Clarington.
The Open Space system is fundamental not only as a means of protecting a
natural feature within the Neighbourhood, but also in providing a connecting link
to various community facilities.
5.4 Woodlands
The vegetation in the Neighbourhood Plan may be separated into several
categories including: well succeeded hedgerows between remnant and active
agricultural fields and along fence and property lines; coniferous plantations; old
field regeneration; upland mixed forests; immature lowland forests; riverine
systems; plantings associated with existing residences; and, roadside trees. The
majority of vegetation possess low species diversity, regular edges, low interpretive
potential and relatively high adaptability to disturbances.
4 - 520
Young woodlands occupy the lowland portions of Neighbourhood 2D near he
bottom of the Robinson Creek tributary floodplain. This unit is comprised of
vigourous young hardwoods and softwoods of high scenic quality, and in good
biological health with a relatively high adaptability to disturbance. This stand of
young woodlands is protected within the open space designation associated with
the Robinson Creek tributary.
Consideration should be extended, wherever possible, towards preserving those
portions of the mature woodlands which occur within both Neighbourhoods (as
identified in the Environmental Resource Analysis, Cosburn Giberson, November,
1992) in order to fully derive benefits relating to microclimate, wildlife habitats,
hydrology and scenic quality. Vegetation which is favourable to transplanting, such
as coniferous trees of trunk diameter no greater than 300 mm should be
considered.
Preservation of woodland areas is encouraged within and adjacent to on -going
construction through mitigative measures such as: tree protection fencing; silt
fence /sedimentation control; dust control; and, protection of soil moisture regime.
5.5 Desired Pedestrian Routes
A desired pedestrian route system has been identified in the design of both
I
Neighbourhoods. The system will follow along the open space designation, public
rights -of way and community facilities. The design of public rights -of -way should
be sympathetic to pedestrian use through the provision and maintenance of inter-
connected sidewalks and foot paths, adequate lighting for safety and security, and
accessability for the physically challenged.
5
1 •'
Commercial facilities shall be developed in conformity with the provisions of the
6.1 Convenience Commercial
A Convenience Commercial block (0.2 ha) is located along the south side of Bloor
Street in Neighbourhood 2D. This block is in at the intersection of an arterial and
a collector road, and is at the periphery of a designated planning precinct.
Development of this block is subject to the provisions outlined in Section 8.0 of this
Plan.
7.0 CHURCH
A potential for a church block of 0.9 ha (2.2 +/- ac) is reserved at the southeast
corner of Bloor Street and the new north -south collector road in Neighbourhood
2D. Should a church facility not be warranted, development of these lands shall
be in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 of this Plan.
8.0 PLANNING PRECINCT
A Planning Precinct has been established to create a mix of land uses and a focal
point of activity for the community. Uses within this area are indicated on
Schedule'A'. Prime consideration shall be placed on urban design, including the
spacial distribution of structures and architectural treatment. An Urban Design
plan shall be approved by Council prior to the implementation of zoning by -laws
or plans of subdivision. This requirement is necessary in order to provide a visual
interpretation of proposed land uses, massing of buildings, configuration of roads
and walkways, future transit stops, parkland uses, and any other matters identified
by the Municipality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the actual scale of any
development in the Planning Precinct in terms of permitted building height, lot
coverage, floorspace, density and setbacks shall be included in an implementing
zoning by -law.

ON \_s 1 0 i ' L
9.1 Road Classifications
The road nehtvork for both Neighbourhoods has incorporated strategic collector
road connections to the boundary arterial grid system and is based upon road
design standards and classifications related to function, traffic volume and
vehicular operating speed. Roads within both Neighbourhoods are classified as
follows:
Road
Bloor Street
Townline Road
Prestonvale Road
All Collector Roads
Classification
Type "A" Arterial
Type "B" Arterial
Type "C" Arterial
In accordance with the Official Plan
Schedule 'A' identifies the potential for local street connections as a means of
providing access to residents within the immediate area. Local streets in the
vicinity of these connections will be designed to discourage thru- traffic or a
collector road function. Municipal Council, in the review of independent
development applications will determine the need for local streets to exit onto
boundary arterials.
The proposed road design standards and classifications are considered as
guidelines for local planning and engineering purposes. However, the Municipality
of Clarington maintains the flexibility to asses standards and location on roads
under its jurisdiction during the development approval stage.
Existing roads not illustrated on Schedule 'A' ps arterial or collector roads are
intended to become either local roads (designed to minimize thru- traffic) or to be
closed with the right -of -way included in the development area.
7
523
9.2 Transit System
The land use plan and road system has been developed to support future local
transit service (intended to travel on the boundary arterial roads). Specifically,
higher density development is located in close proximity to future transit routes and
the planned road and walkway system, so that over 90% of all residents are within
400 m of a transit stop. As well, the grid of arterial and collector roads on 800 m
to 1000 m spacing is suitable for efficient local transit service.
10.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater Management techniques must be incorporated to mitigate the impacts
of development on water quality and quantity, consistent with those outlined in the
Robinson Creek Master Drainage Study, as adopted by the Ministry of Natural
Resources and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the
Municipality of Clarington.
As recommended in the master drainage study, a stormwater management facility
has been sized according to standard practice for quantity and quality control. This
pond will service Neighbourhood 2A -South and the north half of Neighbourhood
2D located along the western tributary of Robinson Creek. The pond is to provide
for peak flow attenuation and the treatment of the first flush of stormwater runoff.
Stormwater will discharge to Prestonvale Road along the western sub - tributary of
Robinson Creek.
Although the facility is shown schematically, the land area designated is
appropriate and will allow for incorporating natural wetland features and native
vegetation with the pond design. The stormwater facility is located within the Open
Space designation independent of parkland.
A second facility, sited immediately upstream of the Canadian Pacific Railway
embankment east of Prestonvale Road, would be provided to service the balance
of the Neighbourhood Plan. This facility would also provide peak flow attenuation
and water quality control.
0
524
11.0 SERVICING
Neighbourhoods 2A -South and 2D are to be serviced to urbanized standards, with
sanitary and storm sewers as well as watermains.
Sanitary sewers already exist in the northwest quadrant of the study area and can
be extended (with relatively minor modifications) to service Neighbourhood 2A-
South and the north half of Neighbourhood 2D. Sanitary sewage treatment is also
available at the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Sanitary Sewage
for the balance of the study area can be directed to either the Harmony Creek
Water Pollution Control Plant (with expanded treatment capacity) through an
extension of sewers on Southgate Drive, and a pumping station for the south east
portion of the Neighbourhood Plan, or to a new treatment facility. The location of
the new facility will be determined by Region wide considerations and a
coordinated solution with the South Courtice Employment Area.
Similarly, water can be supplied to Neighbourhood 2A -South and the north half of
Neighbourhood 2D (via the existing watermain on Townline Road) from the existing
Oshawa Water Supply Plant (OWSP). For the balance of the study area, water
will be provided from an expanded Whitby Water Supply Plant and /or through an
expanded Oshawa Water Supply Plant. The selection of the best alternative will
require coordination on a Region wide basis.
Minor system storm sewers can be designed in a conventional manner, i.e. to
function by gravity to suit topography and street pattern.
A Master Municipal Servicing Report must ,be submitted and approved by the
Municipality of Clarington prior to any development proceeding in this
Neighbourhood Plan.
0
525
12.0 IMPLEMENTATION
Services are available to the study area in two phases as outlined on Schedule'B'.
The first Phase which comprises Neighbourhoods 2A -South and the north half of
Neighbourhood 2D, can proceed immediately with the extension of existing
services (with minor improvements downstream), the extension of trunk facilities
and construction of the stormwater management facility located centrally to the
Neighbourhood within the Open Space block.
The Phase 2 servicing Area will align itself approximately with that area outlined
on Schedule 'B'. Development within Phase 2 is dependent upon a Storm Water
Management facility north of the CPR east of Prestonvale Road. It is also
dependent upon the availability of sanitary sewers from: i) gravity connections to
South Gate Court; or, ii) a coordinated strategy with the Employment Area for
either a new treatment plant in South Courtice or a pumping station and force main
to either Harmony Creek or Bowmanville Creek Water Pollution Control Plant.
Road traffic needs are accommodated through existing east -west road links, and
the Harmony Road interchange with Highway 401. Improvements to existing roads
will be made to facilitate these links. In addition, construction of the Bloor Street
re- alignment from a point between Prestonvale Road westerly to approximately
600 metres due east of Townline Road will be required.
Road improvements for the south half of Neighbourhood 2D would include the
extension of those roads constructed in Neighbourhood 2A -South and the north
half of Neighbourhood 2D, i.e. Townline Road, Prestonvale Road, the industrial
drive proposed in the South Courtice Employment Study Area, and the interchange
at Highway 401. Development of Phase 2 is not contingent upon the 401
interchange being constructed. However, the alignment of the roads to facilitate
such an interchange may alter the roads as shown on the Plan. Such road
realignments will necessitate minor modifications to the land use boundaries within
Phase 2.

Development within Neighbourhoods 2A -South and 2D can take place by one of
two means: i) passing an amendment to the Municipality of Clarington
Development Charge By -law; or, ii) through front - ending certain municipal works
in order to allow development to commence.
