THAT Report PD-59-91 be received; 2 . THAT Report PD-59-91 and the comments contained therein be forwarded to the Region of Durham as the Town of Newcastle's comments on the proposed Durham Regional Official Plan. 1. INTRODUCTION 1 . 1 Commissioner's Report 91-P-1 presents the "Recommended Changes to the Durham Regional Official Plan" . The Report was prepared as the result of the review of the "Draft Changes " Report (Commissioner's Report 90-1) , and was presented to Regional Planning Committee on January 26, 1991. The Report was tabled by the Committee to permit submissions to be made by area municipal Councils and other interested parties . 1 .2 We understand an Addendum Report to Report 91-P-1 is scheduled to be presented to Regional Planning Committee on March 26, 1991. On April 9, 1991, the Committee will begin its consideration of the Recommended Changes to the Regional Official Plan. 1. 3 The comments contained in this report focus on how the "Recommended Changes " compare to the "Draft Changes" and _} 06 REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 2 the Town's submission on the same. Town staff have met with Regional staff to review the Plan and discuss more technical aspects of the Plan. Consequently, the issues raised in this report are restricted to the more significant aspects of the Regional Plan. Furthermore, the premise of this report is based on Council's previous position and the comments contained herein are focused on the new elements of the latest Plan. 1 .4 The Public Works Department and Community Services Department have reviewed the recommended Regional Plan and their comments have been incorporated into this report. 1 .5 Although it's not a requirement of the Planning Act, Notices of this meeting were sent to all parties who indicated an interest or have made submissions to the Durham Region Official Plan Review. Due to time constraints, parties were also informed by telephone. 2. SUMMARY OF THE REGION RECOMMENDED PLAN 2 . 1 The recommended Durham Regional Official Plan, contained in Commissioner's Report 91-P-1, is significantly different from the draft document presented over a year ago. Although it is a somewhat streamlined document, it contains many new policies and changes that must be addressed in this report. In general, Regional Planning staff made considerable effort to reduce the level of detail in the Official Plan. The proposed Regional Plan is much more a document of general goals and principles with less detailed policies to govern specific development concerns . Such features as Central Areas are shown conceptually. Land Use categories are very broad (ie. Living Areas) and must be further delineated in the Local Official Plan. The Local Official Plan must provide details with regard to such matters as the allocation of population to neighbourhoods, densities, REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 3 tenure and affordability of housing and urban design guidelines 2 .2 The proposed Regional Plan contains an introductory section outlining the six overall goals of the Plan: to manage growth in an orderly fashion to preserve and enhance the natural environment to develop the Region to its fullest potential to establish a wide range of housing opportunities to create an improved urban environment to provide for a variety of cultural, health and community services The above goals are to be achieved through the following ten directions : distinct urban areas efficient utilization of land protecting the natural environment development without adverse cumulative effects balancing population growth with growth in employment increased mixture of housing people-oriented urban areas protecting agricultural lands stewardship of land improving transportation linkages fiscally responsible manner of development 2 . 3 The proposed Regional Plan continues to be a "structure plan" in that it is not related to any particular time horizon. The Plan proposes to designate substantial new areas for urbanization. The Plan, in reference to the Region's population forecast, designates enough land at increasing densities to accommodate population growth for the long term. I The Regional Plan would include approximately 16,500 acres of additional lands for urban development, the portion `� 0,� REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 4 located in Newcastle as follows: Urban Expansion Areas (in acres) Living Employment Areas Areas Total Newcastle 3,200 1,700 4,900 All Lakeshore Municipalities 10,200 6,300 16,500 It is a major objective of the Regional Plan to encourage growth in the eastern flank of the Region, thus leading to the designation of these lands . 2 .4 The staff recommended Regional Plan generally maintains the structure presented previously. The Whitby-Oshawa-Courtice Urban Area is to be "the focal point of the Region" , containing more than half of the total population (555,000) . The Pickering/Ajax urban area is the western anchor of the Region with a target population of 300,000 persons (31%) . Bowmanville/Newcastle Village is the eastern anchor of the Region with a target population of 122,000 ( 12%) . Growth in the northern municipalities is limited by servicing constraints . Across the southern tier municipalities, the Regional Plan would increase the population target by 16% more than the Draft Plan proposed a year ago. The changes in the population figures are as follows: REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 5 Urban Population Targets Existing Draft Recommended Official Plan 90-1 91-P-1 Pickering 190,500 190,000 180,000 Ajax 115,800 115,000 120,000 Subtotal . . 306,300 305,000 300,000 Whitby 120,000 165,000 160,000 Oshawa 241,200 260,000 340,000 Courtice 20,000 30,000 55,000 Subtotal. . 361,200 455,000 555,000 Bowmanville 42,500 65,000 95,000 Newcastle Vlg. 8,500 15,000 27,000 Subtotal. . 51,000 80,000 122,000 Total: 718,500 840,000 977,000 2 .5 It is significant to note that the Regional Plan links Bowmanville and Newcastle Village via Wilmot Creek development as a larger urban area. This appears to be an attempt by the REgion to merge Newcastle Village and Bowmanville as one urban area in the future. 2 .6 The recommended Regional Plan increases the target population of the Whitby-Oshawa-Courtice complex by 100,000 over the draft Regional Plan. It totals 555,000 of which Courtice would comprise 10% (55,000) . It is also noted that there are significant special study areas for consideration of future expansion as follows: North of Brooklin in Whitby East of Columbus in Oshawa North of Courtice in Newcastle East of Courtice in Newcastle REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 6 3. GENERAL COhMNTS 3.1 Level of Detail As noted earlier, the Regional Plan has been streamlined into a broader policy document. The more generalized nature of the Regional Plan is supported. It prepares the way for the introduction of two-tier planning. In general, it will require the Town to move expeditiously to review its Official Plan to ensure that the necessary level of detail can be incorporated to "flush out" the broad principles. Until that is done, the broad principles and policies could be subject to a wide variation of interpretation. 3.2 Regional Structure 3 .2 . 1 The Regional Plan proposes to counter the problem of urban sprawl, environmental degradation and the loss of agricultural land by compact urban form and significant increases in density over current development practices . The Regional Plan designates enough lands to accommodate over 1 million persons in Durham Region. It is noted that the Region's population forecast projects only 870,000 persons in the next 30 years. The long term planning for urbanization in Durham is helpful for anticipating the servicing requirements . 3 .2 .2 The Town concurs with the broad Regional structure proposed by the Regional Plan, specifically: development of Whitby-Oshawa-Courtice as the central focus of the Region; development of Bowmanville and Newcastle Village as the eastern anchor of the Region; development of Bowmanville as the major urban centre in the Town of Newcastle; and protection of substantial greenland areas as urban separators between Ajax and Whitby and between Courtice and Bowmanville. r� ' 1 REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 7 4. SPECIFIC COMMENTS 4.1 Living Areas 4 . 1. 1 The recommended Regional Plan not only incorporates the residential expansion areas for Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle Village as requested by Town Council, it actually added more lands and allocated more population to the Town. The Town has no difficulty with this additional population being allocated. Council Recommended Position Plan Bowmanville 75,000 95,000 Courtice 40,000 55,000 Newcastle Village 15,000 27,000 4 . 1. 2 The inclusion of the Wilmot Creek Retirement Community within the urban areas of Bowmanville and Newcastle Village is a logical progression which will enable the future planning, development and redevelopment to be considered properly in an integrated urban context. 4 . 1. 3 The recommended Regional Plan does not incorporate Council's request to recognize Orono as a Small Urban Area. Policy 13 . 3. 11 recognizes Orono as the largest hamlet in the Region and states that Regional Council shall undertake a study regarding the feasibility of expanding the hamlet and extending water services . Staff feel strongly that this policy is a total disregard of the Town's previous request the have Orono designated as a small urban area. The current Official Plan talks of studying Orono for the last 14 years and the proposed Official Plan has done little to improve the status of Orono. All the valid reasons for designating Orono as a small urban area were previously advanced to the Region. Should the Region decline the Town's request again, /� fF l REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 8 it should at least give a specific commitment in the Plan with regard to the provision of sanitary sewer and water supply services to Orono. 4.2 Central Areas 4 .2 . 1 Four levels of Central Areas are identified, however, only Main Central Areas and Sub-Central Areas are conceptually designated on the schedules . Community Central Areas and Local Central Areas are to be identified in local Official Plans . The maximum retail and personal service floorspace for Community Central Areas is 20,000 sq.m. (215,300 sq. ft. ) and for Local Central Areas is 10,000 sq.m. ( 107 ,600 sq. ft. ) . The Regional Plan specifically identifies floorspace limits for Main Central Areas and Sub-Central Areas . 4 .2 . 2 A comparison of the retail and personal floorspace allocations for Central Areas in Newcastle is shown below: Draft Plan Recommended Plan (Sq.M. ) (Sq.M. ) Courtice MCA/SCA 28,000 40,000 Courtice/Townline - 20,000* Bowmanville MCA 60,000 200,000 Bowmanville CCA 20,000 - Newcastle V1g.MCA 20,000 40,000 Total. . 128,000 300,000 ( 1,378,000 sq. ft. ) (3,230,000 sq. ft. ) * Courtice West Highway #2 Corridor Area - part of total Sub-Central Area of 40, 000 sq.m. shared with Oshawa 4 .2 . 3 The recommended Regional Plan establishes four "regional" level Central Areas with the principal centre being centred on Downtown Oshawa. The four centres are as follows : REPORT NO. PD-59-91 PAGE 9 Oshawa (Downtown) 600,000 sq.m. Pickering 300,000 sq.m. Oshawa (Simcoe/Winchester Rd. ) 200,000 sq.m. Bowmanville 200,000 sq.m. The principle of recognition of Bowmanville as a regional level Central Area reinforces the proposed regional structure and is supported. However, Town Council requested an allocation of 3 million square feet (278,700 sq.m. ) of floorspace in its consideration of the Draft Regional Plan on November 12 , 1990 must be reiterated. 4 .2 .4 The Central Area in Courtice at Trulls Road/Highway #2 has been reclassified as a Sub-Central Area. This is contrary to Town Council 's position. We feel the area should be designated as a Main Central Area, as originally proposed in the Draft Changes . The Main Central Area designation will enhance its role as the focal point of the Courtice Major Urban Area as it grows beyond the current planning period. In addition, a further 10,000 sq.m. of retail space should be allocated to this Central Area. 4 .2 .5 The Town supports the designation of a Sub-Central Area at Highway #2 and Townline Road. This would permit the types of uses envisaged in the Highway #2 Corridor Study for the Courtice West Neighbourhood. 4 .2 . 6 The Town of Newcastle is better served than the previous allocation of commercial floorspace (8 . 9 sq. feet per capita) . Comparison of the Town's per capita allocation is shown below: Newcastle 16 .2 Ajax 17 .9 Whitby 20 .2 Pickering 23 . 9 (For the purpose of the above, the Town's rural population was included) . ;_} REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 10 4 .2 . 7 It is a concern that Policy 9 . 3 .5 requires that prior to passing any Zoning By-law for development in a Central Area, a retail impact analysis must be submitted to justify the additional retail and/or personal service floorspace. This policy is ambiguous and appears to indicate that every expansion to a commercial use requires a retail impact study. It is suggested that it be clarified as follows: i) retail impact studies are required only for development proposals greater than 1,400 sq.m. ; ii) Retail impact studies should be independent and undertaken by the municipality at the developer's expense. 4.3 Employment Areas 4 . 3 . 1 The recommended plan has accommodated the request by the Town for additional employment area lands (approximately 1700 acres) . This was premised on the work by C.N. Watson and Associates in the study entitled "Assessment of the Unmet Requirement for Industrial Land in the Newcastle Study Area" . The need was ultimately quantified on the basis of providing a sound economic base for the residents anticipated to live in the Town. Consequently, the Town supports the designation of new Employment Areas as contained in Commissioner's Report 91- P-1 . 4.4 Rural Settlements 4 .4 . 1 The Town reiterates its previous concurrence with the Regional Plan's position of establishing hamlets as the predominant location for rural settlement. Estate residential developments are also recognized as a component of rural residential development, and the criteria to be addressed in the evaluation of such applications has been strengthened. REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 11 4 .4 .2 A new policy is introduced to require preparation of a Hamlet Settlement Capacity Study prior to land uses and hamlet boundaries being delineated in the local Official Plan. This study, which would be undertaken by the local municipality, would investigate hydrogeological and soil conditions in the hamlet, and the impact of new growth on existing development. Although the Town does not disagree with the need to undertake such a study, it is recommended that the requirements of the study should not be so onerous as to unnecessarily hinder hamlet development. As well, the Town is concerned with the financial burden these studies place on the municipality ($15-$30,000 per hamlet) . For Newcastle, with 14 hamlets, this represents very significant cost. It is therefore the Town's submission that settlement capacity studies primarily deal with servicing issue and therefore should be the responsibility of the Region. 4 .4 . 3 The Town supports the Regional Plan policy which indicates that the Region will investigate the feasibility of providing municipal water to selected hamlets . However, the Plan should either specify the hamlets being considered or provide a framework within which such hamlets would be identified. Specifically, the policies regarding the known servicing problems in Hampton and Orono should be retained, with specific reference to the action to be undertaken to resolve these problem areas . 4.5 Agricultural Areas 4 . 5 . 1 The Town supports the policies of the Regional Plan which act to preserve agricultural areas and discourage the fragmentation of the land base. The Plan would no longer permit the severance of inter-family lots . As well, the severance of a surplus dwelling would only be permitted when abutting farms have been consolidated. i REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 12 4 .5 .2 With respect to retirement lot, the Town Council will confirm its previous position that retirement lots be eliminated as a permitted use in the rural area. 4.6 Major Open Space 4 . 6 . 1 The Major Open Space designation consists of three components: Waterfront lands Valleylands and Urban Separator areas Oak Ridges Moraine The boundaries of the Oak Ridges Moraine designation have been adjusted and now incorporate a larger area. 4 . 6 . 2 It is a policy of the Plan not to permit "the intrusion of expanding urban areas into the major open space system" . It is assumed that this does not preclude future expansions of the urban area but is related to the protection of significant natural features . This policy objective should be enhanced by a specific list of measures to be considered including setbacks from creeks, setback from the top of bank and protection of forest edges and hedgerows . 4 . 6 .3 The Recommended Changes provide for Regional Council to prepare a study of both the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Lake Ontario Waterfront, in co-operation with the respective area municipal Council . The Oak Ridges Moraine Study would examine the ecological significance of the Moraine, compatible land uses, and various measures to protect the Moraine, including the establishment of a Provincial Park. The Waterfront Study would identify opportunities for recreational activities and public access, and the conservation of wetlands . It is recognized that there is the need for regional or provincial studies on these significant natural features. REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 13 The policies of the Regional Official Plan should not, however, preclude an area municipality from proceeding with its own studies of the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Lake Ontario waterfront. 4 . 6 .4 The Plan states that aggregate resource extraction activities will not be permitted to alter the main landscape features and the ecological functions of the Major Open Space system. While the Town concurs with this objective in principle, it is questioned as to how realistic this is given the nature of aggregate extraction activities. This policy should be clarified to indicate how extraction could occur and under what circumstances while the "main landscape features" and their "vital ecological functions" are not altered. As with many planning issues, there is a need to balance competing objectives for the same resource. The protection of the Oak Ridges Moraine and the needs of the aggregate industry will likely be one of the more significant issues to be faced by the Town over the next twenty-five years. The Town asks the Region to clarify its position on the potential conflicting statements between allowing aggregate resource extraction and the preservation of the Oak Ridges Moraine. 4.7 AGGREGATE RESOURCE EXTRACTION AREAS 4 . 7 . 1 The Recommended Changes continue to protect lands with a high potential for mineral aggregate extraction from incompatible land uses, although a greater emphasis is placed on achieving a balance between aggregate extraction and the protection of the natural environment. The indiscriminate exploitation of aggregate resources is to be prevented. REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 14 4 . 7 . 2 The Town supports provisions whereby Regional Council shall protect significant parts of the Regional landscape from destruction by aggregate resource extraction activities. 4 . 7 . 3 The Town supports the concept of developing overall rehabilitation programs in addition to site-by-site rehabilitation programs . 4 . 7 .4 The Recommended Regional Plan outlines criteria to be considered in the evaluation of applications to establish an aggregate extraction operation. The criteria include a hydrogeological impact analysis, and an assessment of potential negative impacts such as noise, impact on area residents, and damage to the natural environment. In addition to the criteria detailed in Section 20. 3. 9, a market study should be required to address the need for the additional aggregate resource extraction as part of the evaluation of new pits or the expansion of existing pits . In addition, the issue of haulage routes must be addressed by the proponent to the satisfaction of the area municipality. 4.8 REGIONAL NODES 4 . 8 . 1 The Regional Plan recognizes the desirability of creating regional scale nodes of major activities, such as centres of tourist activity, higher-order services and specialized recreational facilities in appropriate locations in the Region. The Plan further suggest such nodes shall intensify and attract other compatible uses . 4 . 8 .2 Two nodes are identified in Newcastle: Mosport Park and Kirby Ski Area. The town does not agree that both of these sites located in the Oak Ridges Moraine, be permitted to intensify without proper planning justification and studies. REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 15 Section 15 . 3 .2 should be amended to state that only existing uses would be permitted until such time as an area municipal official plan reviews these areas in greater detail . 4.9 SPECIAL STUDY AREAS 4 . 9 . 1 Three Special Study Areas are identified in the Town of Newcastle. Special Study Area 5 - North of Courtice Special Study Area 6 - East of Courtice Special Study Area 7 - West of Newcastle Village 4 . 9 .2 Special Study Area 5 is conceptually shown to cover the lands adjacent to the City of Oshawa and north of Courtice from the current urban limit to Concession 6 . Staff questions the rationale for the inclusion of these lands . There is already enough land within the urban areas to accommodate the forecasted population well beyond the thirty year period. The recognition of a Special Study Area of this size leads to land speculation, poor stewardship of land and places the burden of another study on the municipality. The designation of Special Study Area 5 is not necessary nor was it previously requested by the Town. This matter is further elaborated in Section 6 of this report. 4 . 9 . 3 Special Study Area 6 is twice the size of the Special Study Area requested by Council on November 12, 1990 (approximately 700 acres) . It extends between Courtice Road and Hancock Road in Concessions 1 and 2 . 4 .9 .4 Special Study Area 7 is in accordance with Council's Position of November 12, 1990 . REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 16 4 . 9 .5 The Town is in the midst of a major study of its waterfront in Bowmanville. The draft Secondary Plan has proposed a substantial residential area with various commercial and recreational uses . This is a genuine Special Study Area. In accordance with Council's submission of November 12, 1990, the Bowmanville Waterfront should be recognized in the Regional Plan. 4.10 SPECIAL POLICY AREAS 4 . 10. 1 Special Policy Areas recognize areas with unique characteristics which do not fit into the broader land use designations . Two areas have been identified in Newcastle. 4.10.2 St. Marys Cement Lands The Regional Plan proposes to recognize a portion of the St. Marys Cement land for aggregate extraction and designates the existing and proposed waterlot as a Special Policy Area. The Plan recognizes aggregate extraction and ancillary uses, accessory industrial uses and a commercial docking facility. The recognition of the St. Marys Cement Co. lands as a Special Policy Area is appropriate including the existing dock facilities . Although conceptual, the Map appears to indicate the waterlot expansion proposed by St. Marys Cement Company. This application is under review under the terms of reference for the Newcastle Waterfront Study and any further designation should await the conclusion of the Study. Moreover, staff question the validity of a land use designation on water. West Side Marsh, currently held under extraction license by St. Marys Cement, has not been included in the Special Policy Area. It remains in the 'Waterfront' designation, with an indication of environmental sensitivity. REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 17 The West Side Marsh is a Class II (Provincially Significant) wetland as defined by the Wetlands Policy Statement. The Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront (the Crombie Commission) has identified the preservation of the Marsh as a desirable objective. This has been supported by Town Council before the Crombie Commission. The proposed designation in the Regional Plan is appropriate. 4. 10.3 Port Granby Nuclear Waste Management Facility The low level radioactive waste site at Port Granby is also designated as a Special Policy Area. Regional Council is to encourage the Atomic Energy Control Board to expedite the removal of the waste and to render the area safe. The uses of the land will be determined in the course of preparing a waterfront plan. The proposed designation and associated policies are appropriate. 4. 11 Transportation 4 . 11. 1 The Town concurs with policies in the Regional Plan which support continued expansion of GO Transit service, in particular the extension of GO Rail service to Bowmanville. Schedule A5 identifies a GO Rail line along the C.P. Rail to Bowmanville, with a GO Station site located at Regional Road 57 . 4 . 11.2 The Town welcomes the increased emphasis that the Regional Plan places on streetscape design along major roads in the Region. Of particular note is the requirement for Regional Council to initiate a study, in co-operation with area municipalities and the Province, to determine an appropriate regional framework for Highway 2, including such matters as architectural and sign control, and streetscape beautification. The Plan would also require Regional Council to initiate a streetscape improvement program along Regional Roads . However, the Town suggests that it is not appropriate for the Regional Plan to address streetscape REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 18 improvement programs without the consultation and co- operation of area municipalities . These matters are clearly the responsibility of the area municipality. 4 . 11. 3 Map B of the Regional Plan details the Transportation System for the Region. Of particular significance to the Town are the following changes: St. Marys Cement Marine Terminal is recognized as a "Harbour Area" ; the extension of Adelaide Avenue as a Type 'B' Arterial from Townline Road to Regional Road 34; the realignment of Bloor Street as a Type 'A' Arterial to connect with Baseline Road, and ultimately with Highway 2 west of the Clarke/Darlington Townline; the extension of Townline Road as a Type 'B' Arterial southward into the Courtice Industrial Park and then eastward to connect with Regional Road 34; the redesignation of Nash Road as a Type 'A' Arterial between Regional Road 34 and Highway 35/115; the designation of Green Road as a Type 'B' Arterial between Nash Road and Baseline Road; the designation of a Type 'B' Arterial (Longworth Drive) between Green Road and Bennett Road; the designation of Bennett Road as a Type 'A' Arterial Road between Highway 401 and Regional Road 20; the designation of Bennett Road as a Type 'B' Arterial between Baseline Road and Nash Road. One objective of the transportation system is to provide relief for Highway No. 2 as the "Main Street" of the Town by designating Nash Road and Bloor/Baseline Road as Type 'A' L f} REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 19 arterials . This concept is endorsed and addresses a concern raised by Council in its November 12, 1990 submission. 4 . 11 .4 A number of other revisions to the transportation network requested by Council do not meet Regional criteria for Arterial Roads and therefore were not reflected on Map B. In discussion with Regional staff, it has been determined that the Town's objectives could be accommodated as Type 'C' arterial roads contained in the local official plan. 4 . 11 .5 Map B does not designate any new interchanges on Highway 401 in the Town of Newcastle, that differ from the Draft Plan. The Town requests that the existing interchange at Holt Road be indicated. In addition, staff note that an interchange at Lamb's Road is indicated. The discussion of the interchanges at Bennett Road and Lambs Road will be deferred for consideration in a separate report at a future meeting of Committee. 4 . 11.6 As noted in the previous submission, the Town of Newcastle does not support the delineation of a route for Highway 407 prior to the completion of the route alignment study and Environment Assessment review process . The Town has indicated to the Ministry of Transportation its support in principle for either the South or South-Central alignment. 4 . 11. 7 The Town of Newcastle reiterates its request that the Newcastle Freeway Link (401 to 407) be conceptually shown on Map A5 and Map B. 4.12 OTHER MATTERS 4. 12.1 Waste Disposal/Waste Management Sites The policies regarding waste disposal sites have been eliminated from the Plan and no sites are identified on the Plan schedules . (There is, however, the incorporation of J 3 REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 20 the three Metro landfill sites in Pickering under Schedule 8 "Exceptions incorporated into the 1976 Official Plan) . As such, all landfill sites must proceed by site specific amendment to the Plan. The term 'utilities ' should be defined and should include waste management sites . Policies should be included which outline the criteria to be addressed in the review of applications for the establishment of any expansions to waste disposal sites. Criteria should include an assessment of hydrogeological conditions, noise and dust impacts, haul routes and the impact on the road network, the impact on area residents, the economic impact of the proposal, and other matters deemed appropriate by Regional or area Municipal Council. 4.12.2 Environment The recommended policies incorporate values which place a greater emphasis on the protection of the natural environment. The Region's natural environment and its features, such as the Oak Ridges Moraine and the waterfront are to be given paramount consideration in light of their ecological functions and scientific and educational values. While the thrust of the environmental policies is very much supported, we are concerned that it provides few measurable objectives and is reactionary in nature. With regard to the latter, the policies address the "assessment of cumulative impacts on the environment" and "the need for mitigating measures" in the consideration of development applications . In this sense, the environment is still viewed only as a "constraint" on development. There is, however, no mention of developing a Regional greenlands strategy for the identification and long term preservation of environmentally significant features . REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 21 4.12.3 Studies to be Undertaken by the Region The Regional Plan identifies a number of studies to be undertaken by the Region (eg. Waterfront Study, Special Study Area Studies, etc . ) . There should be a general clause under the Interpretation Section which clearly enables the area municipality, in the absence of a Regional initiative, to undertake such studies as required. 5. SPECIFIC COMMENTS ON MAPS 5 . 1 The Maps have been reviewed and specific comments are provided in this section. Attachment Numbers 1, 2 and 3 compare the changes to Map A5 requested by Council at its November 12, 1990 meeting and those changes made by the proposed Region Plan. 5 .2 summarized below are those areas of changes requested by the Town Council that were not reflected in the proposed Regional Plan. Map A a) Delete Special Study Area 5 . b) Change Sub-Central Area at Highway #2/Trulls Road to Main Central Area. c) Retain existing residential designated lands in North Courtice. d) Add Special Study Area on the Bowmanville Waterfront. e) Reduce size of Special Policy Area 'D' in relation to proposed expansion of St. Marys Cement Company marine terminal. f) Adjust urban area boundary for the west side of Bowmanville south of the C.P.R. tracks to correspond to the Living Area (generally east of Green Road) . g) Recognize Orono as a Small Urban Area. 6 REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 22 Map B a) Recognize Holt Road Interchange b) Recognize only conceptual alignments for Highway 407 through Newcastle c) Include a conceptual alignment for the Newcastle Freeway Link (401 to 407) 5 . 3 The Town hereby, once again, request the Region to incorporate the above changes to the maps . 6. NORTH COURTICE 6 . 1 At its meeting of February 25, 1991, Council approved the following resolution: "THAT the matter of inclusion of Lots 30, 31 and Part of Lot 32, Concession 3, located north of the Courtice Urban Area as Residential or as a Special Study Area in the Regional Official Plan be referred to staff for the preparation of a report to be considered by the General Purpose and Administration committee in March 1991" . 6 .2 For Council 's information, there have been many submissions to extend the Courtice Urban Area to the north and north- east. The submissions are listed in Attachment #4 to this report. 6 . 3 The most fundamental issue with the designation of additional residential lands as requested by certain landowners is the question of the need for more residential lands . The Regional Plan as currently proposed designate sufficient residential lands to accommodate 200,000 persons . At the same time, the Regional population forecast projects a year 2021 population of only 142,000. This provides a surplus capacity of 58,000 persons to be accommodated beyond 30 years . � , REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 23 On this basis alone, there is no need to designate any additional lands for residential development at this time. This matter can always be reconsidered during the next review of the Durham Regional Official Plan. 6 .4 The environmental sensitivity of the lands north of Courtice has been well-documented. The particular area in question, Lots 30-32, contains portions of the Farewell Creek Valley System and the Courtice Woods . This is part of an important ecosystem which includes an "extensive and diverse forest set on a zone of high water table" . Containing significant forest wildlife and terrain components, the area is classified as highly sensitive. The highly sensitive areas are shown on the Regional Plan Maps of the submissions (Attachment #4) . The Town should reiterate its previous position not to allow urban expansion in this area and to continue to support the objective of the proposed Regional Plan in the protection of environmentally sensitive area. 6 .5 The legal counsel for Tonno Construction Ltd. has raised the specific question of the OHAP Agreements as they apply to 53 acres of land located in Lot 32, Concession 3, formerly under the ownership of Duffins Creek Estates Limited and Goldfan Holdings Ltd. The argument raised is that since the Region and the Town benefited by means of an OHAP Agreement with the Province for the construction of services in Courtice, it has either a legal or a moral obligation to designate these lands "residential" . Staff have no comment on the legality of this matter except to advise Council that the issues in front of Council are planning matters, not legal debates. Moreover, if the property owners have any problem with the OHAP Agreement, they should address the issues with the Region. 6 . 6 In summary, the northerly extension to the Courtice Urban Area is not necessary at the present time on the basis of REPORT NO. : PD-59-91 PAGE 24 population growth requirements . In addition, the specific lands in Lots 30 to 32 contain environmentally sensitive features including a portion of a major forest system should be preserved. This position is consistent with Council's recommendations made at its meeting of November 12, 1990. 7. CONCLUSION The recommended Durham Regional Official Plan as contained in Commissioner's Report 91-P-1, have incorporated most of the changes recommended by Town Council previously. The comments contained in this report could be substantially shorter in length if not for the many changes made to this latest release. The comments contained herein are either reiteration of previous Council 's policies or comments on new policies or new map changes . Staff respectfully recommend Council to endorse the content of this report as representing the Town of Newcastle comment on the proposed Regional Official Plan.
