BACKGROUND 2 . 1 On October 28, 1987, the Town of Newcastle was advised by the Durham Region Planning Department of an application submitted by Iwan Zwarun, to amend the Durham Region Official Plan to permit industrial uses on the subject site (Attachment #1) . 2 .2 On April 18, 1988, the General Purpose and Administration Committee resolved that this application be tabled pending the completion of Discussion Paper #1 - Industrial Component, by the Regional Planning Department. 2 . 3 On January 9, 1990, the Draft Changes to the Durham Regional Official Plan were presented to the Durham Planning Committee.

PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS 5 . 1 A written submission was received from Mr. J. Simons and Mrs. E. Simons. Mr. and Mrs. Simons expressed the following concerns with respect to the proposed development: i) the possible loss or contamination of the water supply to their lands; ii) the natural drainage; iii) environmental impacts (air and noise pollution) ; and iv) the building of heavy vehicles 6. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6 . 1 The applicant has proposed the redesignation of the subject site from 'Major Open Space' to 'Industrial' . The Region has recently presented the Draft Changes to the Durham Regional Official Plan, and these changes do not include the extension of the Courtice Industrial Area eastward to include the subject site. 6 .2 The Region have proposed a 'Special Study Area' , which would extend north of the present Courtice Industrial Area boundary to the southern limit of the Courtice Major Urban Area. The Region has indicated that further investigation is required to determine a suitable pattern of land use and municipal servicing requirements. This investigation of land use patters will include a review of future industrial areas within this study area. 7. SERVICING FEASIBILITY STUDY - SOUTH COURTICE AREA 7 . 1 The consulting firm of Totten Sims Hubicki was engaged by the Town to conduct a servicing feasibility study for the South 599 67 REPORT NO. : PD- 146-90 PAGE 4 Courtice area, specifically areas 'A' through 'E' as shown on Attachment No. 2 . 7 .2 On March 19, 1990, Staff presented the final results of the South Courtice Servicing Feasibility Study. One of the conclusions drawn by Totten Sims Hubicki was that development of the lands at the easterly end of Area 'B' (Attachment No. 2) which is currently designated Industrial, should be restricted due to difficulties in providing municipal water to these lands . The subject site is further east of Area 'B' . B. AGENCY COMMENTS 8. 1 In accordance with Departmental procedure, the subject application was circulated to various agencies and departments for their review and comment. The following agencies/departments offered no objections to this application: Region of Durham Health Services Department Region of Durham Economic Development Department Town of Newcastle Community Service Department Ministry of Agriculture and Food Ministry of Transportation 8.2 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department have reviewed the application and find undesireable that the proposal would construct an industrial subdivision to rural standards. 8.3 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority notes that the subject lands could be susceptible to flooding during the regional storm from that portion of the Darlington Creek which has yet to be floodline mapped. Until it is appropriately 599 68 REPORT NO. : PD- 146-90 PAGE 5 demonstrated that the site is not flood susceptible, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority cannot offer favourable comments .. 9. COMMENT AND CONCLUSIONS 9 . 1 Industrial Areas by definition in the Durham Region Official Plan are an urban use and are thus required to be fully serviced by sanitary sewer and municipal water supply. The Courtice Industrial Area has been an exception to this and was so designated in recognition of the previous designation in the Township of Darlington Official Plan. The Courtice Industrial Area has been permitted to develop on private services providing only industrial uses of a dry nature occupy such lands. It has been the position of staff and Council, that further development of Industrial lands in South Courtice should proceed on full services . As one consequence, the South Courtice Servicing Feasibility Study was initiated. Although the subject lands are located outside of the lands under study, the conclusions are applicable. The east end of the lands currently designated Industrial are in a separate water pressure zone and are not easily serviced. Furthermore, the subject lands are in the Darlington Creek Watershed and cannot readily be serviced by gravity sanitary sewer. Even if the major servicing scheme for South Courtice outlined in the South Courtice Servicing Feasibility Study is implemented, the subject lands would be very difficult to service. 9 .2 Given Council 's commitment to establish serviced industrial land in Courtice, expansions to the current Industrial Area 599 69 REPORT NO. : PD- 146-90 PAGE 6 in an easterly direction would be contrary to this objective. Future expansions to the Industrial lands should occur to the north and the south of the current Industrial Area. Consequently, it is recommended that the application by Zoran Real Estate (Iwan Zwarun) to amend the Region and Town Official Plans to redesignate the subject lands industrial, be recommended for DENIAL to the Region of Durham Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation to the Committee 0 - � 'L Fran 1 n Wu, M.C.I .P.
