zone category of a 1.631 ha parcel of land in Part Lot 12, Concession 2,
former Town of Bowmanville? from 'Agricultural (A)' to an appropriate
zone to permit the development of 42 townhouse units. Staff note that
an application for proposed Plan of Subdivision (18T 89021) and Official
Plan Amendment application (89-21/N) have also been submitted.

north, east, south and west, as well as existing single family dwellings
to the west on Mill Lane.

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

3.2 The 'Hazard Land' indications refers to lands having physical
characteristics such as poor drainage, swamps or other physical
condition. These lands shall be generally determined in the local
Comprehensive zoning By -law in consultation with the Conservation
Authroity and the Ministry of Natural Resources. An application for the
removal of the development constriants involving lands identified as
'Hazard Lands' are subject to Region Official Plan policies (Section
1.3.4) .
3.3 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan (Bowmanville Major Urban
Area) the subject lands are designated 'Low Density Residential' with
indications of 'Hazard Lands'. Low density residential allows a maximum
of 30 units per net residential hectare. The applicant is proposing a
density of 33.5 units per net hectare. It is noted that on September
18, 1989, Committee approved Official Plan Amendment to introduce a
medium density symbol in this location. The density as proposed would
comply with the Official Plan Amendment.
