James filed an application with the Town of Newcastle, on behalf of Trinity United Church, to amend the Town's Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 84-63 . The purpose of the application is to change the present "Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-12) " to an appropriate zone category to permit the proposed 767 m2 community facility addition. The addition would serve as a multipurpose church and community facility for a number of uses including banquets, weddings and funeral receptions, meeting space for youth and community groups, sports activities, Sunday School and administrative space associated with the church. 4. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 Existing Uses: Church with associated office and residential space. 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East: Careview Manor North: Residential West: Municipal parking lot and fire station South: Salvation Army building 5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5. 1 Within the existing 1976 and 1991 Durham Region Official Plans, the subject lands are designated "Main Central Area" . These shall be planned and developed as the main concentration of activities within area municipalities. They shall provide a full array of uses including institutional and community uses. The proposal appears to conform to the applicable Official Plan policies. 5. 2 Under the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, the subject lands are located within the "Community Facilities - Predominant Use Area" of the Main Central Area for the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. Land uses within this area shall be predominantly for social, educational, governmental and recreational activities. The proposal also appears to conform to these Official Plan policies. fj � I REPORT PD-62-92 PAGE 3 6. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 6. 1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-12) " by the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 84-63 . This zone permits a converted dwelling in addition to other uses permitted within the R1 zone. As the community facility is not permitted within this category, the applicant has applied to rezone the lands to recognize the proposal as part of the existing church. 6.2 The applicant seeks relief from the parking requirements for assembly halls as stated in the zoning by-law. Based on the 767m2 addition as proposed, 74 parking spaces must be provided. The standards for assembly halls require that one space per nine gross m2 of usable floor area must be provided. Due to the site's physical limitations, the required amount of parking could not be accommodated. No additional parking has been proposed on the site plan. 6. 3 The applicant is also seeking relief of the rear yard setback requirements within the zoning by-law. For this zone, the rear yard setback is 7. 5m (24. 6 ft) . The proposed addition would necessitate a reduction in standard to 6.4 m (21. 0 feet) . 7. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 7. 1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and requirements of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was erected on the subject lands. The required notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance. 7 .2 As of the writing of this report, no written submissions or counter inquiries have been received. Only one telephone inquiry regarding uses of the proposed facility has been fielded. 8. AGENCY COMMENTS 8. 1 The application was circulated to solicit comments from other relevant agencies. D1 J) REPORT PD-62-92 PAGE 4 8. 2 Comments indicating no objections have been received from the following agencies: Town of Newcastle Community Services Department; and Durham Region Planning Department. 8. 3 The Town of Newcastle Fire Department has no objections to the proposal provided that they review detailed drawings to ensure the facility's compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. 8.4 Comments still remain outstanding from the Town of Newcastle Public Works Department. 9. STAFF COMMENTS 9. 1 Staff wish to inform Committee that a total of 74 parking spaces must be provided by the applicant to accommodate users of the facility. The requirement is based upon a standard of one space per nine gross m2 floor area for assembly halls. This issue is very important as far as the application is concerned. 9. 2 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements for the Public Meeting under the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, and considering the number of outstanding comments, it is respectfully requested that this report be referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.
