C'-~ Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer CPIDJC/df 14 June 2004 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 617 , REPORT NO.: PSD.073.Q4 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Proponents: 1.2 Owner: 1.3 Rezoning Application: 1.4 Location: PAGE 2 1524103 Ontario Ltd. Victor Rudick and Peter Newell To permit the development of a light industrial use. Part Lot 5, Concession 1, former Town of Bowmanville, west of Bennett Road and south of Highway No.2. 1.5 Area: 19.8 ha 2.0 LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands encompass two adjoining parcels of land, one fronting on the west side of Bennett Road, south of Highway No.2 and north of the future Baseline Road extension, and the second abutting to the west fronts on the south side of Highway No. 2. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On May 21, 2004 the application for rezoning was received by the Planning Department. The proposal is to rezone the subject lands to permit a light industrial development on the 19.8 ha site. 4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The site is currently vegetated along the Highway NO.2 frontage and has a dwelling fronting on Highway No.2. The site is generally flat sloping slightly to the south and west. The lands are currently being leased as farmland. 4.2 Surrounding Uses:' East - North - West - South - vacant agricultural lands residences fronting on the south side of Highway NO.2 agricultural lands vacant lands and Highway 401 5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 The lands are designated "Employment Area" in the Durham Official Plan. A variety of industrial uses are permitted. 618 REPORT NO.: PSD-073-04 PAGE 3 5.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the majority of the lands "General Industrial Area" with the lands in the vicinity of Highway No. 2 being designated "Prestige Employment Area". The Prestige Employment Area designation allows professional, corporate and office buildings, data processing centres, research and development facilities and light industrial uses within wholly enclosed buildings. The General Industrial Area designation is the most permissive industrial designation and permits manufacturing, assembling processing fabricating, refining, warehousing, storage and repair and servicing operations. Outside storage is permitted in the general industrial area. 5.3 Prior to the availability of municipal services, development on private services is permitted provided the development does not consume water in the production, manufacturing, refining or assembly process and subject to studies demonstrating that private services can be supported. 6.0 ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6.1 The property is currently zoned Agricultural (A). Said zone would not permit the proposed light industrial development, hence the need for the rezoning. 7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE 7.1 Notice of the public meeting was provided in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act and the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan. Notice was provided to all land owners within 120 metres of the subject lands and signs were placed on the Highway NO.2 and Bennett Road frontage at least 20 days prior to the meeting. 7.2 Staff have received a number of enquiries with respect to the application. The majority of the enquiries were requesting clarification on the type of industrial use proposed. Some wanted additional information with respect to the size of the facility, how it was to be serviced and the number of employees. One individual was upset the Municipality would entertain an application for industrial use on lands zoned and used for agricultural. 8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 8.1 The application was circulated to the required agencies for comment, as a result of the short circulation period comments remain outstanding from most circulated agencies at this time. Emergency Services has advised that on-site water will be required for fire protection. ~ 619 REPORT NO.: PSD.073-04 PAGE 4 9.0 COMMENTS 9.1 The applicant is currently working on a site plan submission for the proposed development. Through pre-consultation the applicant has indicated that the Phase 1 building will be accessed from Bennett Road and is to be approximately 2785 m2 (30,000 ft2). The proponent has suggested they wish to maintain a park like setting. With this in mind and other needs of the applicant the building will have large setbacks, in excess of 30 metres (100 ft) from all property lines and no outside storage. 9.2 The use is considered a 'dry-light industrial use' meaning it does not consume water in the production, manufacturing, refining or assembly process. Details with respect to servicing and stormwater management will be addressed through the site plan approval process. 10.0 CONCLUSIONS 10.1 The purpose of this report is to facilitate the Public Meeting as required by the Planning Act, to provide Committee, Council and neighbouring landowners with some background on the application and for Staff to indicate issues or areas of concern regarding the subject application. It is recommended the application be referred back to Staff for further processing and subsequent report upon resolution of any issues and receipt of all outstanding comments and required revisions.
