Town of Newcastle Official Plan.

4. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES
4 . 1 Existing Uses: Vacant - agricultural
4 .2 Surrounding Uses: East: residential - agricultural

5. PUBLIC MEETING AND RESPONSE
5. 1 Written submissions were received from Dr. E.J. Pinto, Mr.
K.W. Phillips and Mrs . M.M. Phillips .
5 . 1. 1. Dr. Pinto noted that consideration should be given
to rezoning the remained of his property now zoned
agricultural to either industrial or estate
residential, should this application be approved.
Furthermore, Dr. Pinto noted that consideration be
given to classify the group of homes on Solina Road
as 'Rural Cluster' to ensure those residents some
level of peaceful existence.
5 . 1.2 Mr. K.W. Phillips and Mrs . M.M. Phillips objected
to the proposal listing a number of reasons
including the following:
further industrial encroachment into what is
a residential neighbourhood
further devaluation of our property investment
increased commercial traffic
noise and air pollution
possibility of water shortages
5 9 % / `
REPORT NO. : PD- 147-90 PAGE 4
extensive sections of undeveloped industrial
land exists south of the 401 in this area
Conflict of the Region's own official policy
of continuous open space
jeopardizing their chosen rural life style
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 those 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
patterns 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
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.
REPORT NO. : PD-147-90 PAGE 5
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 procedures, the subject
applications were circulated to various agencies and
departments for their review and comment. The following
agencies/departments offered no objections to these
applications :
Town of Newcastle Community Services
Town of Newcastle Fire Department
8 .2 The Region of Durham Health Services Department requires
further information from the application prior to finalizing
its comments . The Region of Durham Planning Department
outlined the information required by the Region of Durham
Health Services Department on August 28, 1989, however this
information has not been received to date.
8 .3 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority note that it
would appear that a substantial portion of the site may be
subject to flooding during a regional storm event. Until it
can be demonstrated that the site is not susceptible to
flooding, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
cannot provide favourable comment.
8 .4 The Ministry of Agricultural note that until regional staff
have completed their review of industrial needs in the region,
599 /- 91
REPORT NO. : PD-147 _90 PAGE 6
they believe that this application is premature.
8 .5 The Ministry of Environment recommends that these applications
not be approved until such time as a hydrogeological study has
been completed.
8 . 6 Comments are still outstanding from the following
department/agencies:
Town of Newcastle Works Department
Regional Works Department
Ministry of Natural Resources
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.
599 80
REPORT NO. : PD- 147-90 PAGE 7
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
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 submitted
by Bajda Holdings Ltd. 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
