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: "Convenience Commercial" . . .2 A REPORT NO. : PD-164-90 PAGE 2 1.4 Rezoning: From: "Urban Residential Type One (R1) " To: "Neighbourhood Commercial Exception (C2-3) " . 1.5 Lot Area: 1,095 .94 sq.m. 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. 3. 3 To meet the requirements of Section 34 of the Planning Act, a Public Meeting was held on February 5, 1990 . At this meeting, no one spoke in opposition to this development. 4 . EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES: 4 . 1 Existing Uses: Vacant 4 .2 Surrounding Uses: North - existing commercial plaza 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 r . . . .3 `� REPORT NO. : PD-164-90 PAGE 3 property is designated "Special Purpose Commercial Node" and "Residential" . Section 6 .5.2 iv) c) in the Town of Newcastle Official Plan allows for the expansion of an existing commercial use provided that the enlargement does not have any negative or adverse impact on the surrounding uses . 5.2 In addition, Section 8 . 3 .2 .2 of the Durham Region Official Plan permits an existing commercial strip to consolidate into a node subject to the requirements of this Section. 5. 3 The Courtice Neighbourhood Plan designates this site as "Special Purpose Commercial" and "Residential" . Hence, a Neighbourhood Plan Amendment is required to redesignate this property to "Convenience Commercial" . 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. 6 .2 The existing commercial property is zoned "Neighbourhood Commercial (C2) " and the additional lands owned by the applicant are zoned "Urban Residential Type One (R1) " . Since this development proposes to extend the existing plaza southerly onto residentially designated lands, a rezoning is required. 6 . 3 The applicant obtained a minor variance to increase the permitted floor space, as specified in the Town's Comprehensive Zoning By- law 84-63, as amended, from 500 mZ to 840 m2' The proposed addition to the plaza will further increase the commercial floor space on the existing commercially zoned lands . This increase can no longer be considered minor in nature, hence the planning documents should be amended to accommodate this increase in floor space. Inasmuch as both properties require to be rezoned, it's Staff's opinion that each parcels be addressed through a similar zoning category. J _ . . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-164-90 PAGE 4 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. A letter of concern was received from an area resident. This resident stated that they did not wish to see a plaza locate on a local road, and that there already exists ample shopping in this area. 8.
