OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5. 1 Within the existing 1976 Durham Region Official Plan, the subject lands are designated "Residential Areas" . Predominant uses of lands within this area shall be for housing purposes. Within the Regional Council adopted 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan, these lands are designated "Living Area" . Again, the predominant use of such lands shall be for housing purposes. According to the Durham Region Planning Department, the proposal conforms to both Durham Regional Official Plan documents. 5.2 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan (Bowmanville Major Urban Area) designates the subject lands, located in Neighbourhood 2C, as "Low Density Residential Area" . Development within this designation shall not exceed a net residential density of 30 units per hectare. The subdivision as proposed would develop at a net residential density of 30.8 units per hectare.

ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6. 1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Urban Residential Type One (R1) " and "Agricultural (A) " within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 84-63 . The "Urban Residential Type One (R1) " zoning relates to the residential uses immediately adjacent to Liberty Street North.

The applicant is seeking a zoning by-law amendment to accommodate the mix of residential housing types in this proposal. 7.
