REPORT NO. : PD-149 -90 PAGE 2
2. BACKGROUND
2 . 1 On October 16, 1989, the Town of Newcastle was advised by the
Durham Region Planning Department of an application submitted
by Wing Hang Corporation Ltd. to amend the Durham Region
Official Plan.
3. LOCATION
3 . 1 The subject site is located in Part Lot 26, Concession 1, in
the former Township of Darlington. The subject site is
located on the north side of Baseline Road, west of Solina
Road.
4. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES
4 . 1 Existing Uses: Vacant - agricultural
4 .2 Surrounding Uses : East: Vacant - agricultural
West: Vacant - agricultural
South: Industrial

5. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS
5 . 1 No public submissions have been received to date with respect
to this application.
6. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
6 . 1 The applicant has proposed the redesignation of the subject
site from 'General Agricultural Reserve' to 'Industrial' . The
Region has recently presented the Draft Changes to the Durham
Regional Official Plan, and these changes do not include the
599 9 _}
REPORT NO. : PD- 149-90 PAGE 3
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 On July 25, 1988 the Council of the Town of Newcastle directed
Planning Staff to commence a Planning Study for the area south
of Highway 401 between Darlington Provincial Park and the
Darlington Generating Station. As part of the Study, Staff
determined that the feasibility of servicing the Study Area
with sanitary sewer and piped water services was a paramount
consideration. Subsequently, the consulting firm of Totten
Sims Hubicki were retained to commence a servicing feasibility
study for areas 'A' through 'E' as shown on Attachment No. 1.
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. 1) which is currently designated Industrial,
should be restricted due to difficulties in providing
municipal water to these lands . The subject site is also
constrainted by the water pressure zone boundary.

REPORT NO. : PD- 149-90 PAGE 4
8. AGENCY COMIMNTS
8 . 1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the subject
application was circulated to various agencies and departments
for their review and comment. The following
agencies/departments offered no objections to the application:
Town of Newcastle Community Services
Town of Newcastle Fire Department
Town of Newcastle Public Works Department
Ministry of Natural Resources
C.P. Rail
8 .2 The Ministry of Agriculture note that while consideration is
given to the logical extension of an existing development, the
need of this land for purposes other than agricultural uses
must be justified and documented. Until the Ministry can
review this information, the Ministry cannot support the
proposed Official Plan Amendment.
8 . 3 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority notes that
until the issue of urban storm water runoff has been addressed
for the Tooley Creek drainage area, we wish to reserve comment
on development applications within the watershed. In view of
the foregoing, C.L.O.C.A. considers this application
premature.
8.4 Comments are still outstanding from the following agencies:
Ministry of the Environment
Regional Works Department

REPORT NO. : PD-149 -90 PAGE 5
9. COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS
9 . 1 This application was submitted October 16, 1989, with the
applicant's agent requesting that consideration be given to
approval of the subject site for industrial development on
full municipal services. The subject site however, falls
outside of the pre-determined study boundaries for the South
Courtice Servicing Feasibility Study. These study boundaries
were adopted by Council July 25, 1988 .
9 .2 It has been the position of Staff and Council that further
development of Industrial lands in South Courtice should
proceed on full services . Since the subject site is outside
of the area for servicing consideration, this application is
considered premature in terms of servicing.
9 . 3 Furthermore, the South Courtice Servicing Feasibility Study
presented a land use Scenario of 836 hectares (2065 acres) of
industrial lands within Areas 'A' through 'E' , of which 186
hectares (459 acres) are presently designated industrial.
This allows for the designation of 650 hectares ( 1606 acres)
of additional industrial lands within the servicing study
boundaries. The designation of additional industrial lands
outside the servicing study boundaries would be unwarranted
at this time.
9 .4 Finally, the subject site is located in the study area of the
Ministry of Transportation North/South Freeway Connection
Study. The development of a north-south connector freeway
between Highway 401 and Highway 40 is considered vital to the
overall functionality of the transportation system and to the
Town's future. Alternative 2, as presented to Committee on
July 3, 1989, passes in close proximity to the subject site.
Approval of this application could jeopardize the actual
alignment of this corridor.

REPORT NO. : PD- 149 -90 PAGE 6
9 .5 Given that this application can be considered premature both
in terms of servicing considerations and in terms of the need
for industrial lands, in addition to those industrial lands
presented in the land use scenario of Report PD-106-90, it is
recommended that the application submitted by Wing Hang
Corporation Ltd. to amend the Durham Region Official Plan be
recommended for DENIAL without prejudice to the Region.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
