PD -90 -95 PAGE 2 1.6 Proposed Plan of Subdivision: for a total of 142 units consisting of 56 single family units, 38 semi - detached /link units, 48 townhouse units and various blocks for school, future roads and future development 1.7 Land Area: 7.94 hectares (19.6 acres) 2. LOCATION 2.1 The subject property is located south of Avondale Drive and east of Trulls Road in Courtice. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The applicant has filed a total of four applications, three to the Municipality and one to the Region of Durham. The One application to the Region is for Draft Approval of a Proposed Plan of Subdivision. The Official Plan Amendment application proposes to expand the Courtice Urban Area boundary to include the subject lands. The Neighbourhood Plan Amendment application is also for expansion to the Neighbourhood Plan boundary and land uses including the detailing of road locations. The Zoning By -law Amendment would permit the development of the 142 units in the various zone categories. 4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The existing site is currently vacant and is being used for temporary storage of top soil for the development of the lands to the north. 4.2 Surrounding land uses are as follows: South: existing church and agricultural lands East: agricultural lands North: residential development West: residential and vacant lands subject to development applications ....3 514 REPORT NO. PD -90 -95 PAGE 3 5 PUBLIC MEETING AND RESPONSE 5.1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner and tenant within the 120 metre prescribed distance. As of the writing of this report, no letters or enquiries objecting to the applications have been received. 6 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated "Living Area ". Said designation shall permit the development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure. The proposal appears to conform. 6.2 The subject lands are beyond the Courtice Urban area boundary as identified in the former Town of Newcastle Official Plan, hence the application for Official Plan Amendment. 7 ZONING 7.1 The current zoning on the subject property is "Agricultural (A) ". Said zone would not permit the development of the proposed Plan of Subdivision. 8 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 In accordance with departmental procedure the subject application was circulated to a number of agencies and departments for comment. To date comments remain outstanding from a number of agencies including Clarington Community Services and Public works Departments, the Conservation Authority, the Separate School Board, Regional Planning Department and the Ministry of Natural Resources. ....4 5.D REPORT NO. PD -90 -95 PAGE 4 8.2 The Fire Department, Bell Canada and Ontario Hydro have all advised they have no objection to further processing of the applications filed. 8.3 The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation has provided comments advising the subject property has a medium potential for causing impacts to cultural heritage resources. Consequently the Ministry has recommended that as a condition of approval a cultural heritage resource assessment take place prior to any development of the property. 8.4 Regional Works Staff have advised that both water and sanitary sewer are available to the property by extension from Yorkville Drive. Regional Works Staff note that provision for a sanitary connection to the existing church located south of this site should be made. A 5.18 metre road widening and 0.3 metre reserve are requested across the total frontage of the property on Trulls Road. 8.5 The Public School Board has advised that this development will yield approximately 46 students. Although a Public Elementary School site is planned in the development immediately to the north, it will not be available for occupancy until September of 1997. Prior to September 1997 students generated from this development would have to attend Courtice South Public School, which is over capacity with 9 portables on site. The School Board wishes to ensure that this development is phased to assure that the new school planned for this area is in place for students generated by this development. 9 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The proponent has filed four development applications for the subject property to permit the development of 142 residential units. Currently the lands are outside of the Courtice Urban ....5 516 REPORT NO. PD -90 -95 PAGE 5 Area boundary. As such, this application is subject to Council resolution of January 1992, which placed an administrative freeze on processing of applications in the urban expansion areas added by the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan. 9.2 Staff have scheduled the Public Meeting as required for the Zoning By -law Amendment and have circulated the application to the appropriate agencies. However, Staff do not expect to prepare a subsequent report on the subject lands until such time as the Clarington Official Plan has been approved by Council. 9.3 At this time the applicant is proposing an overall gross residential density of 17.9 units per hectare. This would appear to be higher than that proposed in the Draft Clarington Official Plan. As well the Plan of Subdivision is proposing two Blocks (84 and 85) which are suggested to be rear lanes. To date, the Municipality has not taken a definitive position on this design feature for new residential developments. 10 CONCLUSION 10.1 The purpose of this report is to facilitate the Public meeting as required by the Planning Act, to provide Committee and Council with some background on the application submitted and for Staff to indicate issues or area of concern regarding the subject application. It is recommend the application be referred back to Staff for further processing and subsequent report upon resolution of the Clarington Official Plan and receipt of all outstanding comments.
