Report #:PD -78 -95 File #: PLN 30.1 By -law
Subject: REPEAL OF ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL BY -LAW 86 -145
FILE: PLN 30.1
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD -78 -95 be received; and
2. THAT the By -law attached hereto repealing By -law 86 -145 be
forwarded to Council for approval.
1. Council in 1986, in anticipation of the number of Plans of
Subdivision which would be proceeding through to the
development stage, deemed it appropriate to adopt minimum
standards for new housing development within the urban areas
of the former Town of Newcastle. As a result, the following
policies were adopted through the passage of By -law 86 -145:
111. Prior to the issuance of building permits, for new
housing development within the urban areas of
Bowmanville, Courtice, and Newcastle Village, the
Director of Planning or his designate shall approve the
conceptual design of such dwellings.
2. The Director of Planning shall not authorize the issuance
of building permits unless the exterior construction of
such dwellings is comprised of at least 40% masonry eg.
brick, stone or other earthen product, but excluding
stucco and /or concrete block, with the remainder of the
exterior construction being comprised of finished wood,
vinyl or aluminum siding, but excluding plywood, particle
board or other similar wood sheeting material.

3. The Town of Newcastle shall require that no more than a
total of three (3) adjacent dwellings utilize the same
building elevation in order to ensure a variety of
building elevations."
2. As Committee may recall, the Municipality has been approached
over the past few years by the Development Industry,
requesting the Municipality's consideration and modification
to the core Subdivision Agreement. Staff, in turn, has
attempted to improve and update the current agreement to
reflect the wishes of Council as well as the changing trends
and construction techniques and building materials used by the
development industry today.
3. Included within the last round of revisions considered and
made to the core agreement were changes to the Architectural
Control Standards contained in Schedule "W ". This schedule,
originally inserted into the core agreement in 1988, was
endorsed by the Home Builders Association as sufficient in
providing the Development Industry with the necessary guidance
and flexibility for their new home designs.
4. The Architectural Control By -law passed in 1986 provided a
good foundation for the Municipality at a time where there was
no provision in the subdivision agreement to deal with
architectural control. However, through the introduction of
"Schedule W" - Architectural Control Standards" within the
Municipality's core agreement, the need to implement the 1986
Architectural Control By -law is considered redundant. It is
for the above reasons that staff feels that By -law 86 -145 has
out lived its usefulness and recommends that it be repealed in
its entirety.
5. By -law 86 -145 should have been appealed sometime ago except
for the fact that staff would like to take some time to
evaluate the effectivenss of the Architectural Control
Standards in the core subdivision agreement. We are now
REPORT NO.: PD- 78 -95 PAGE 3
satisfied that the control mechanism through the subdivision
agreement is more than adequate.
6. Attached to this report is a by -law to repeal By -law 86 -145.
Respectfully submitted,
