I .2 The application would rezone the current Urban Residential Type •
zone to an appropriate zoning category to permit the development of a
six (6) unit apartment building on a 791 m 2 parcel of land in Part Lot
11, Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville (5 Argyle Street).
1.3 The subject property is currently surrounded on all sides by low density
residential uses.
2. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
2.1 The subject site lies within the Bowmanville Urban Area and is designated
'Low Density Residential' in the Town of Newcastle Official Plan.
Section 7.2.1.2.iv.(a) of the Official Plan states that areas designated
as low density residential "shall not exceed a density of 30 units per
net residential hectare ". The density of this particular proposal is
75.9 units per net residential hectare. This far exceeds the Official
Plan provisions and hence does not conform to the Town of Newcastle
Official Plan.
2.2 According to the Durham Region Official Plan, the subject site appears to
be within an area designated as 'Residential Area' within the Bowmanville
Urban Area.
3. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
3.1 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.
3.2 As of the writing of this report, a written submission was received from
Ms. L. Highfield of 74 Ontario Street. In this letter she stated that
she objected to the proposal for a number of reasons including the fact
that she believes the proposal will result in a lowering of her property
value, a reduction in privacy and sunlight, and an increase in noise and
traffic levels.

4.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was
circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. The
following departments /agencies in providing comments, offered no
objection to the application as filed:
- Town of Newcastle Fire Department
- Newcastle Hydro Electric Commission
- Region of Durham Health Department
- Bell Canada
4.2 The Town of Newcastle Community Services has no objection to the
application, however they do request that the parkland dedication be
accepted as cash in lieu on a basis of 1 hectare per 300 dwelling units.
4.3 The Durham Region Planning Department offered the following comments.
They stated that this development requires an amendment to the Town of
Newcastle Official Plan since the density of the proposal exceeds the
permitted density as stated in Section 7.2.1.2 iv(a). In addition, the
Region noted that the applicant would be required to enter into a
servicing agreement with the Region since the proposal represents an
increase in residential usage. Also, four (4) copies of detailed site
servicing drawings must be submitted to the Region for Site Servicing
approval.
4.4 Comments are still outstanding from the following agencies:
- Town of Newcastle Public Works Department
- Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education
- Peterborough Victoria Northumberland & Newcastle Separate School Board

Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By --law 84 ®63 from "Urban Residential Type
One (Rl)" to permit the development of a six unit apartment building on a
791 m2 parcel of land in Part Lot 11, Concession 1, former Town of
Bowmanville (5 Argyle Street)
5.2 Staff in reviewing the proposal notes that the application does not
comply with the Town of Newcastle Official Plan and that an Official Plan
Amendment is required. Staff also notes that an application for Site
Plan Approval must also be submitted. Until the above requirements are
met, Staff is unable to further process this rezoning application and
must recommend the application be denied due to non-conformity to the
Official Plan.
Respectfully submitted,
