1. BACKGROUND:
1.1 In February, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department
received an application for rezoning from G.M. Sernas and Associates Ltd. on
behalf of Veltri and Sons Limited. The application would rezone a 31.76 ha
(78.5 acre) parcel of land in Part of Lot 7, Concession 1, former Township
of Clarke, from "Agricultural (A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)II to an

appropriate zone to permit ninety-one (91) single family dwellings with
municipal water and private sanitary waste disposal systems.
The applicant has yet to submit an application for Plan of
Subdivision.
1.2 The subject site is located in the southeast quadrant of the
Newtonville Hamlet. Surrounding land uses include residential, a
school and proposed Plan of Subdivision to the west, residential and
vacant (agricultural) land to the north; proposed Plan of Subdivision
to the east; and the Hwy. No. 401 to the south.
2. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS:
2.1 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 within the prescribed
distance.
As of the writing of this Report, no written submissions have been
received.
3. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY:
3.1 Within the Durham Regional official Plan the subject lands are
designated as part of the Hamlet of Newtonville. The predominant use
of lands within said designation shall be for residential development.
Regional Council recently approved an amendment to the Durham Plan
(Amendment No. 217) which recognized Newtonville as a Hamlet for
Growth. The amendment would allow the Hamlet to grow to a maximum of
approximately 345 residential units in total, with development to take
place on municipal water.

3.2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan the subject property is
designated "Residential Expansion" and "Area Subject to Development
Restrictions" within the Hamlet of Newtonville. The Town's Hamlet
policies as part of the Town's Official Plan were approved by Regional
Council in January and are awaiting Ministerial approval. The plan
recognizes Newtonville as a "Hamlet for Growth" to a total of 345
residential units to be developed in accordance with the Durham Plan
policies.
3.3 Section 9.4(ix) of the Plan contains provisions allowing residential
development within the Newtonville Hamlet to occur on a minimum 0.2 ha
lot, with the proviso that a detailed Engineering Report be submitted
to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Environment, the
Region of Durham and the Town of Newcastle that soil conditions can
support a reduced lot size without causing soil and groundwater
contamination.
4. CIRCULATED AGENCIES:
4.1 To date, Staff have not circulated the plan to interdepartmental or
external agencies. Staff are awaiting submission of the proposed plan
of subdivision, in order to undertake a combined circulation. This
has proven in the past to be less confusing to the circulated agencies
and less time consuming for Staff.
5. STAFF COMMENTS:
5.1 Discussions with the applicant's agent indicate that supporting
documentation for the proposed rezoning are being finalized and will
be submitted with the proposed plan of subdivision application. Until
such time as the circulation is undertaken and supporting
documentation is received, Staff are not in a position to comment
further on this application.
...4
As the purpose of this report is to address the requirement of a
Public Meeting under the Planning Act and in consideration of the
comments outstanding, and the issue of official Plan conformity, Staff
recommend the application be referred back to Staff for further
processing.
Respectfully submitted,
