While the Study should include consideration of both Neighbourhood Study Areas, due to various constraints,
the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Plan shall be limited to the South Brookhill Neighbourhood. The
consultant will be requested to provide separate costing for completion of the North Brookhill Neighbourhood
on two separate scenarios: the first assuming that both areas would be completed simultaneously and the
second assuming that North Brookhill Neighbourhood would be undertaken subsequent to South Brookhill.

b) Description of the Study Area
Brookhill Neighbourhood takes its name from "Brookhill Farm", the name that Mark Munday gave his farm
In Lot 15 in the 19'h century. The entire Brookhill Study Area is approximately 300 ha in size. Much of the
land area situated west of Regional Road #57 is comprised of larger development parcels currently
farmed, although here are a number of properties ranging from 1 to 10 acres in size with single detached
dwellings.
A small portion of the South Brookhill Neighbourhood is located between Regional Road #57 and the
Bowmanville Creek. An existing large-lot rural subdivision was constructed on private services in the
1980's and will not be easily redeveloped in an urban form.
The Brookhill Neighbourhood interfaces with the Bowmanville West Main Central Area. In addition to the
retail functions of the Bowmanville West Main Central Area this area includes a number of institutional
and community facilities including a fire station, police station, a high school and a community park
consisting of a sports arena, baseball diamonds, and skate board park.
A tributary of the Bowmanville Creek, known as the Brookhill tributary, extends diagonally through the
neighbourhood. The northerly portion of the Neighbourhood contains portions of the Maple Grove
Provincially Significant Wetland. An important objective of the development of the area will be the
protection of this wetland.
Regional Road 57 is a major arterial road built to a two lane rural standard on the east side of the
Brookhill Neighbourhood. It connects to Highway 401 and conveys approximately 16,400 vehicles daily.
Green Road is a rural country road on the west side of the Neighbourhood, with limited traffic at the
present time. Part of the Neighbourhood planning program will be the transformation of these roads into
urban arterials. With the anticipated commercial development of the Bowmanville West Main Central
Area, it will be crucial to manage traffic by design to create a healthy community environment.
c) Related Studies and Development Applications
. Brookhill Subwatershed Study
The Municipality engaged Aquafor Beech Ltd. to undertake a subwatershed study for the Brookhill
subwatershed, a branch of the Bowmanville Creek. This study is nearing completion with a final
recommendation report expected by Spring 2005. The recommendations of the subwatershed study
will determine the developable land area within the study area and the stormwater management
strategy. This Study shall implement the findings and recommendations of the Brookhill
Subwatershed Study
. Bowmanville West Main Central Area Secondary Plan Update
At the present time, south of the Brookhill Neighbourhood Study Area and within the Bowmanville
West Main Central Area, there are development applications for large format retail uses. This area is
subject to a separate secondary planning study related to the Municipality's Commercial Policy
Review. It will be completed in April 2005. Ideally both studies would have proceeded
simultaneously but have been staged for financial reasons. Meridian Planning, Brook Macllroy and
TSH are the consultants for the Secondary Plan.

. Clarington Official Plan Growth Management Study
As part of the update of the Clarlngton Official Plan, the Municipality is undertaking a growth
management study to review the expansion of the 20-year urban area boundaries having regard for
the emerging directions in the provincial and Regional growth plans. Hemson Consulting Ltd. is
undertaking this Study.
. Development Applications
The South Brookhill Neighbourhood has three major development blocks, two of which are owned by
West Diamond Developments Ltd. And Players Business Park Inc., companies controlled by Metrus
Developments and the Kaitlin Group. The westerly parcel is the subject of a draft plan of subdivision
application (S-C-2004-004 currently under review. Metrus/Kaitlin have submitted an appeal on the
Municipality's failure to render a decision within 90 days of receipt of a complete application.
The Brookhill Neighbourhood Secondary Plan Study will need to be conducted in an efficient and
timely manner in order to allow the Municipality to resolve this situation.
10.2 Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the Study is to:
a) Provide an overview of the best practices in new urbanist neighbourhood planning and
engineering to determine an approach appropriate for Clarington, in particular the Brookhill
Neighbourhood
b) Prepare a Neighbourhood Master Plan for the Brookhill Neighbourhood (in particular the South
Brookhill Neighbourhood) using the new urbanist approach to community building
c) Prepare certain implementation documents, specifically a Secondary Plan, a park and open
space master plan, neighbourhood urban design guidelines and engineering standards
d) Address transportation and engineering issues related to new urbanist standards
10.3 Study Components
The Study will, as a minimum, consist of the following components:
a) Review of New Urbanism
This is not intended to be a major analysis of the successes and failures of new urbanist plans
and their implementation. Rather, in this phase, the intent is to expose members of Clarington
Council and staff to new urbanist developments focusing on the Greater Toronto Area and, in
particular, to address the issue of engineering standards and transportation planning. It is
anticipated that this will include a presentation/seminar on new urbanism, a bus tour to new
urbanist developments and discussions with municipal staff in other municipalities to review the
successes and failures of new urbanist neighbourhoods/developments. This phase will identify
concepts that are appropriate for the Brookhill Neighbourhood.
b Establishina a New Urbanist Vision for Brookhill Neiahbourhood
The Consultant will establish a new urbanist design vision for the entire study area. The vision will
build on key principles of the Clarington Official Plan and review of new urbanism identified
above. This phase will identify guiding principles for development of the area as a special
neighbourhood adjacent to the growing West Bowmanville Main Central Area. Key elements of
the vision will characterize Bowmanville's small town heritage while identifying smart growth and
social diversity principies. The vision will be the guiding force of the study and all outcomes shall
reflect the principles of the vision.

opportunities. It will incorporate the results of the subwatershed plan. This phase will include a
review of the overall engineering requirements for the neighbourhood with respect to servicing
capacity, arterial and collector roads, and stormwater management. It will also review existing
land uses, natural heritage constraints, cultural heritage resources, school board and park
requirements and other components necessary for the preparation of the Neighbourhood
Design Plan and Secondary Plan.
. Consideration of any changes to the land use framework from the approved Official Plan, in
particular addressing the implications of the evolving planning framework for the Bowmanville
West Main Central Area and its connections to the residential neighbourhood
. Give a high priority to placemaking, sustainability, environmental protection, efficient use of
infrastructure and quality urban environment.
. Develop at least three alternatives for the neighbourhood plan based on the vision and design
principles established above,
. Utilize a charette process to engage the public and land use stakeholders and to rnaximize the
effort and results achieved in a concentrated period of time,
d) Refinement of Preferred Neiohbourhood Plan and Preparation of Implementation Documents
The Brookhill Neighbourhood Plan will be refined and it is anticipated that five implementation
documents will be prepared as follows:
