3 BACKGROUND
3.1 On February 17, 1994 the Planning Department received an
application to rezone the subject lands to permit 91 link townhouse
units. These same lands were subject to a previous zoning
application (DEV 90 -025) and in 1991 By -law 91 -118 was passed
permitting 152 apartment units. However, the site has not been
developed.
4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES
4.1 Existing Uses: vacant
4.2 Surrounding Uses:
East - existing residential development
West - vacant
South - vacant land and Roy Nichols motor vehicle
sales establishment
North - existing single dwelling unit and Courtice
Secondary School
5 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 Within the 1991 Durham Region Official Plan the lands are
designated "Living Area ". Although the density is reduced, the
applicant is still providing compact residential development and as
such appears to be in keeping with the intent of the Durham Region
Official Plan.
5.2 Within the Official Plan for the former Town of Newcastle, the
lands are designated "Residential Area ", "Major Open Space System
with Hazard Land" and "Hazard Land ". Lands designated "Residential
Area" shall be used predominantly for residential purposes. The
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority will help the
municipality determine the limits of the Major Open Space System
and Hazard Lands. As this is a residential development, the
application conforms with the Official Plan.
5.3 Within the Courtice North Neighbourhood 3B Plan, the lands are
designated "Residential - High Density Maximum 80 Units per net

hectare ", "Major Open Space ", and "Minor Open Space ". The density
of the proposal is approximately 28 units per net hectare,
significantly lower than the permitted 80 units per net hectare.
Once again, the Conservation Authority will assist the municipality
determine the limits of the Environmental Protection Zone.
6 ZONING BY -LAW PROVISIONS
6.1 Within the Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended, of the
former Town of Newcastle, the lands are zoned "Holding - Urban
Residential Type Four Exception ((H)R4 -11)" and "Environmental
Protection (EP)". This zoning permits a density of 58 units per
net hectare.
The applicant has revised the application proposing a total of 91
townhouse units situated in 23 blocks. Inasmuch as the "Urban
Residential Type Four" zone does not permit townhouses, an
amendment is necessary to the Comprehensive By -law to change the
zone to an "Urban Residential Type Three" zone permitting link
townhomes.
