6 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
6 . 1 The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject land as
'Residential' with indications of Environmental Sensitivity. The
Official Plan (Section 1.2 .2) states that the extent and the exact
location of such environmentally sensitive areas shall be
determined at the time of development applications . Development
within these areas may be permitted to the extent that the type or
magnitude of development is compatible with environmental
conditions or that measures have been undertaken to mitigate any
resulting negative environmental impact.
The Plan (Section 1.3 .9) also states that, prior to approving a
development application within an environmentally sensitive area,
an environmental analysis shall be conducted for the subject area
or a wider area if deemed necessary by the local Council. This
environmental analysis is intended to address a number of matters,
including the type and degree of environmental sensitivity, the
compatibility of the proposed development, the need for and the
definition of mitigating measures, and the location and extent of
sensitive areas which should be preserved. This environmental
study is to be conducted by the area municipality in co-operation
with the Region and the Conservation Authority, in consultation
with the proponent.
6 .2 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan designates the subject lands
as "Residential" with indications of "Environmental Sensitivity" .
The proposed subdivision would have a density of 33 units per net
residential hectare and would therefore fall within the density
range of "Medium Density Residential" .
The Town of Newcastle Official Plan (Section 6 .4 .2 ) also provides
for the Town to conduct an Environmental Impact Analysis for lands
identified as environmentally sensitive. Land uses defined within
the Official Plan and subsequent Neighbourhood Development Plans
. . . .5
REPORT NO. : PD- 114-90 PAGE 5
shall be re-assessed and alternative land use concepts analyzed,
in light of the recommendation of the Environmental Impact
Statement, if the negative effects of such uses cannot be
satisfactorily mitigated in a manner consistent with engineering
techniques and resource management practices .
The Official Plan (Section 6 .4 . 3) further states that nothing
within the Plan shall be deemed to convey to the municipality or
any other agency having jurisdiction, the responsibility of
acquiring lands exhibiting environmentally sensitive
characteristics as an alternative to permitting a use which may
otherwise have a negative impact upon the environment.
6 . 3 The Courtice North Neighbourhood Plan, Schedule 113A" , identifies
the lands as being in an area indicated as "Land Subject to
Official Plan Amendment Application" . The Courtice North
Neighbourhood Plan policies have not provided a designation for
said land.
The Neighbourhood Development Plan states that, in reviewing
subdivision and other development applications, consideration will
be given to the recommendations of the Courtice Environmental
Impact Analysis as prepared by Gartner Lee.
7 ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS
7 . 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as
amended, the subject lands are zoned 'Urban Residential Type One -
Holding ( (H)Rl) ' and 'Agricultural (A) ' . The residential zone
provision recognizes the existing residential dwellings on Trulls
Road and allows for single family dwelling units as well as semi-
detached/link units . The applicant must provide the necessary
supporting documentation in order to have the "EP" zone changed
to a residential zone. The application would appear to comply with
the residential zoning, the 'holding (H) ' symbol to be removed upon
execution of the subdivision agreement. . . . . 6

8 AGENCY COMMENTS
8. 1 The subject application was circulated to a number of agencies and
departments for comment. To date a number of agencies have yet
to respond these include: the Town of Newcastle Public Works; the
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority; the Public School
Board; the Separate School Board; Regional Planning; Regional
Public Works; the Ministry of the Environment and Ontario Hydro.
8 .2 The Newcastle Fire Department advised the subject lands would be
within the recognized response area of station # 4, Courtice and
has an approximate response time of 3 to 4 minutes .
8 .3 The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department advise that
the planned population of the subject application would be served
by the neighbourhood park located on Devondale Street. Community
Services Staff have no objection subject to a five percent (5%)
cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication.
8.4 The Ministry of Natural Resources Staff provided no objection to
the application, although the comments do note the importance of
the subject lands as a headwaters source of the Farewell Creek.
In order to prevent any detrimental impacts to the Creek, the
Ministry will require the implementation of an effective stormwater
management through the conditions of draft approval for 18T-90004.
8.5 The Ministry of Agriculture and Food has advised they have no
objection to the subject rezoning.
9 STAFF COMMENTS
9 . 1 In accordance with the provisions of the Durham and Town of
Newcastle Official Plan, the Town engaged Gartner Lee in 1980 to
prepare an environmental impact analysis for the Courtice North
Neighbourhood. The subject lands were determined to be
. . . .7
II ,
REPORT NO. : PD-i14 -90 PAGE 7
environmentally sensitive with forested headwater areas of numerous
feeder streams and areas possessing unusual biological attributes.
A shallow water table and numerous wetlands were noted. The "open
space" designation recommended for this area was to recognize a
component part of a significant forest complex and to provide a
buffer to the more sensitive areas to the north.
9 .2 The subject lands are within Neighbourhood "3A" as noted previously
and therefore subject to a Council resolution dating back to
November 1989 . Said resolution authorized Staff to further
investigate the need for the easterly extension of Adelaide Ave.
from Townline Road to Hancock Road, and further that no decisions
be made on all existing and future subdivision and rezoning
applications in Courtice Neighbourhoods 3A, 3B and 3C north of Nash
Road pending the results of the Needs Study for the Adelaide Ave.
extension and any subsequent Route Alignment Study.
9 . 3 In reviewing the application for Neighbourhood Plan amendment
2 .2 . 3( 11) , it is noted that currently the Courtice North
Neighbourhood Plan does not illustrate a development concept for
the lands north of George Reynolds Drive. The applicant therefore,
in conjunction with surrounding applications, must present a
development concept which provides for the Adelaide Street
extension, as well as other municipal amenities to the satisfaction
of Staff and Council.
9 .4 Staff are presently reviewing the neighbourhood population target
in terms of the impact of said application, on the existing and
approved developments, in comparison to the 2300 person population
target. Should said target be achieved through prior approvals,
an application for Official Plan Amendment will be required by the
applicant to amend the population target to permit said application
to proceed.
