APPLICATION DETAILS: 1. 1 Applicant: Ray Abbott for Newcastle Townline Centre 1.2 Owner: Vaughn Smith 1 .3 Neighbourhood Plan: From: "Special Purpose Commercial" and "Residential" To: appropriate zone to permit proposed development 1 .4 Rezoning: From: "Urban Residential Type One (R1) " To: appropriate zone to permit proposed development 1.5 Lot Area: 1,095 .94 sq.m. . . .2 5 11 REPORT NO. : PD-49-90 PAGE 2 2 . LOCATION: 2 . 1 The subject property is located in Part Lot 32, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington. More specifically, the parcel abuts Prestonvale Road to the west and the existing plaza to the north. 3. BACKGROUND: 3. 1 On October 16, 1989, the Planning Department received an application to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By- law 84-63, as amended. This application proposes to change the existing zoning to permit a 1096 sq.m. parcel to be added to the existing retail plaza. 3.2 On the same day, an application to amend the Neighbourhood Official Plan was also submitted. This application intends to change the Neighbourhood Plan from "Residential" to an appropriate designation to permit the proposed development. 4 . EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES: 4 . 1 Existing Uses: Vacant 4 .2 Surrounding Uses: North - existing residential South - existing residential East - existing residential West - existing residential 5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES: 5. 1 According to the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, the subject property is designated "Special Purpose Commercial Node" and "Residential" . On the Courtice Neighbourhood Plan this site is designated "Special Purpose Commercial" and "Residential" . Hence, a Neighbourhood Plan Amendment was submitted to redesignate this property appropriately. . . . 3 REPORT NO. : PD-49-90 PAGE 3 6 . ZONING: 6 . 1 The applicant is proposing to extend the existing commercial building on the southeast corner of Highway No. 2 and Prestonvale Road southward onto additional lands owned by the applicant. The existing commercial property is zoned "Neighbourhood Commercial (C2) " and the additional lands owned by the applicant are zoned "Urban Residential type One (Rl) " . The applicant obtained a minor variance to increase the permitted commercial floor space, as specified in the Town's Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, from 500 sq.m. to 840 sq.m. . This application to extend the plaza straddles the existing commercially designated lands and the southerly residentially designated lands . this addition to the plaza will increase the commercial floor space on the existing commercially designated lands . Since the change can no longer be considered minor in nature, the lands of the existing commercial proposal must therefore be rezoned to accommodate this increase in floor space. Therefore, it would be best if both parcels possess a common zone. 7 . PUBLIC MEETING AND RESPONSE: 7 . 1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands . In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance. 7 .2 As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. 8 . AGENCY COMMENTS: 8 . 1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. . . .4 5 1 3, REPORT NO. : PD-49-90 PAGE 4 The following departments/agencies in providing comments, offered no objection to the application as filed: - Town of Newcastle Fire Department - Ministry of Natural Resources - Durham Region Department of Health 8.2 Some agencies had no objection to the application provided that their comments/concerns are dealt with satisfactorily. The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department requested that appropriate consideration be given to landscape treatment on Prestonvale Road and Highway No. 2 road frontages . In addition, Community Services requested a 2% dedication for parkland. This contribution only applies to the newly acquired property (1095 sq.m. parcel) . The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department requires a stormwater management plan to be completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. They also requested that the applicant/owner provide a cash contribution for a concrete sidewalk ($57 . 00/m x 18 . 6m = $1,060 . 00) , as well, a 1. 83m road widening along Prestonvale Road. The applicant/owner must also bear the costs (100%) of any works on Prestonvale Road which are necessitated as a result of this development. Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority had no objection to this development, however, they did note that the Conservation's written approval is required prior to any filling or grading on the site, and that a detailed grading plan be submitted. Ministry of Transportation requires a building permit prior to construction and a sign permit for any new signs . 8 .3 At the time of writing this report comments remain outstanding from the following agencies: . . .5 '_D REPORT NO. : PD-49-90 PAGE 5 Durham Regional Works Department Durham Regional Planning Department Ministry of the Environment 9 . STAFF COMMENTS: 9 . 1 Durham Region Planning Department believe that this application could be dealt with through a Neighbourhood Plan Amendment and that an Official Plan Amendment was not required. 9 .2 Staff notes that it was originally recommended to Town Council that the applicant provide a retail market analysis for the existing plaza. However, at that time, Council felt that this was not necessary and waived this recommendation but, with this proposed addition, the plaza's total floor area will increase by more than 50% . Considering this fact, Planning Staff believe that a retail market analysis is warranted. 9 . 3 Staff has several concerns regarding the location of the loading aand parking spaces on the site plan. For instance, it appears that most delivery trucks would be unable to exit from the existing loading spaces, hence the ingress/egress to these spaces must be revised. In respect to parking spaces, Staff note: a lack of handicapped parking spaces; space Number 42 blocks the rear entrance/exit to the building; and some of the spaces exit into the entranceways to the plaza creating potentially hazardous situations . 10. CONCLUSION: 10 . 1 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirement for a public meeting under the Planning Act, and in consideration of the agency comments outstanding, it is recommended that the application be referred back to Staff for further processing. . . .6 REPORT NO. : PD-49-90 PAGE 6 Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation to the Committee Franklin Wu, M.C.
