BACKGROUND 1.1 In September 1988, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department received an application to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended.

This application only affects the eastern most lot. The rezoning application is also subject to site plan approval. 1.3 Staff would note for the Committee's information that, Docauaut to D0000ilva resolution of July 26' I982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate aigoage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands oudr surrounding property owners were advised of the proposal. 2. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 2.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject area is designated residential within the Courtine Major Urban Area. However, Section 8.3.2.2 of the Regional Plan allows Special Purpose Commercial Nodes to develop without necessity of an amendment to the Plan. 2.2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan (Couctioe Major Urban Area) , the subject property is designated "Special Purpose Commercial Node". Within said designation uses are intended to serve the needs of the area residents on an oocaaoinoal basis, with services and facilities which consume larger parcels of laud and require aoDoaoze to traffic. The proposal would appear to comply to both Plans. 3. CIRCULATED AGENCIES The subject application was circulated to a total of ten (10) agencies. To date, comments remain outstanding from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority; Regional Planning and Regional Works. The agencies which have provided comments to dote have not provided any objection to the proposal although various comments and additional information have been requested.
