K 7/ Res. # _44 By-Law # -- PUBLIC MEETING METING: General Purpose and Administration Committee DATE: February 19, 1990 REPORT #: PD- 68 -90 FILE #: DEV 89-129 (X/REF: 18CDM-89-003) SECT: REZONING APPLICATION - BOWLING GREEN DEVELOPMENTS PART LOT 28, CONCESSION 2, FORMER VILLAGE OF NEWCASTLE FILE: DEV 89-129 (X/REF: 18CDM-89-003) RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD- 68-90 be received; 2 . THAT the application to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law, as amended, submitted by Bowling Green Developments, be referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report pending the receipt of all outstanding comments; and 3. THAT a copy of Committee and Council's decision be forwarded to the interested parties attached hereto. 1. BACKGROUND: 1. 1 In November of 1989 the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department received an application to amend Zoning By-law 84-63 and enter into a Site Plan Agreement in order to permit the development of eighteen ( 18) single family dwellings . In January, 1990, the Region of Durham Planning Department advised the Town of Newcastle that the applicant intended to develop the eighteen ( 18) single family dwellings as condominium units . . . .2 REPORT NO. : PD- 68-90 PAGE 2 1.2 The proposal is situated on a .93 hectare (2 .315 acre) parcel of land located on the east side of Regional Road No. 17, south of the Canadian Pacific Railway but is more formally described as Part Lot 28, Concession 2, in the former Village of Newcastle. 2 . PUBLIC NOTICE: 2 . 1 For the Committee's information, pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was erected on the subject lands . In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner with the prescribed distance. 2 .2 As of the writing of this report, the Planning and Development Department has not received any written submissions with respect to the subject application. However, the Planning and Development Department has received numerous telephone and counter enquiries by area residents who expressed concerns over the number of units being proposed as well as the proximity of the proposed entrance to the railway underpass . 3 . OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY: 3 . 1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property would appear to be designated as a "Residential Area" . As residential uses are intended to be the predominant use of land so designated, it would appear that the application conforms with the intent of the Durham Regional Official Plan. 3.2 Section 8 .2 . 1.2(iv) (a) of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan states that the density of residential development within the Newcastle Village Small Urban Area shall be generally restricted to low and medium density, with an overall average density not to . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD- 68 -90 PAGE 3 exceed fourteen ( 14) units per net residential hectare. The Official Plan defines net residential hectare as all residential lands excluding local roads, schools and parks . Since the applicant is proposing to develop the subject lands with condominium units, the entire .93 hectare (2 .315 acre) parcel would be private property and retained as net residential land which equates to a density of 19 .35 units per net residential hectare. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to develop the subject property at a density which exceeds the maximum density permissable by the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. It would appear that the applicant will have to reduce the number of units in order to reducing the density down to an appropriate level. 3 . 3 Nevertheless, the Planning and Development Department will continue to evaluate the issue of density in relation to existing development within Newcastle Village and in relation to the applicable policies and sections of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. 4 . ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY: 4 . 1 The Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject property "Urban Residential Type One Exception (Rl-1) " . As the applicant is proposing to develop eighteen ( 18) single family dwelling units with frontages which are substantially less than required in the current zoning, an application has been filed to appropriately amend the zoning by-law in order to implement the proposed development. . . .4 �� 19 REPORT NO. : PD- 68 -90 PAGE 4 5. AGENCY COMMENTS: 5. 1 The Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department undertook a joint circulation of the condominium/rezoning/site plan approval application. The following provides a brief synopsis of the comments received to date. 5 .2 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has reviewed the subject application and recommends that site plan approval not proceed until such time as the applicant has submitted a set of engineering drawings for review. Once engineering drawings have been prepared to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, the Public Works Department would have no objection to the proposal subject to the provision of several regulatory conditions . 5.3 The Community Services Department has reviewed the subject application and recommends that the site be reworked to eliminate, limit or relocate the service roads to an area which is more removed from the children's playground. However, the Community Services Department has no objection to the application subject to the 5% parkland dedication being accepted as cash-in-lieu and the funds realized being credited to the Parks Reserve Account. 5.4 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has reviewed the subject application and has no objection to the proposed development provided that prior to commencement of any grading or construction on site, the Owner shall prepare a surface drainage and erosion control plan, acceptable to the Authority, which illustrates all proposed surface drainage works and means to minimize erosion and sedimentation associated with any storm drainage. . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD- 68 -90 PAGE 5 5.5 The only other agency which has responded to the circulation of the proposed development is the Town of Newcastle Fire Department which offered no objection to the proposal . The Public School Board; the Separate School Board; the Regional Planning Department; the Regional Works Department; and the Canadian Pacific Railway have all yet to respond to the circulation. 6 . CONCLUSION: 6 . 1 As the purpose of this report is to address the requirements of a Public Meeting under the Planning Act and in consideration of the outstanding comments, the Planning and Development Department recommends that the application be referred back to Staff for further processing.
