designated shall be predominantly used for Residential

Plan permits the establishment of convenience commercial
facilities within Residentially designated areas .
5 .2 Inasmuch as the applicant indicated that a commercial zone is
sought, details regarding the type or size of the commercial
use has not been specified. Since staff has been unable to
determine what the intended "end-use" for the site will be,
staff cannot state whether or not this application complies
to the Official Plan.

Exception (R1-1) " . The predominant use of lands so zoned
shall be for residential uses .

lands . In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each
landowner within the prescribed distance.

REPORT NO. : PD-175-90 PAGE 4
As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have

stating that he felt residential properties should not be
rezoned and that it would be inappropriate to have a
commercial use in a residential area.

was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and
agencies . The following departments/agencies in providing

provided that their conditions/concerns are dealt with
accordingly.

cash-in-lieu of Parkland dedication.
ii) The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department requested
that no changes or alterations be made to the existing
site and that no watercourses or drainage patterns be
altered.
9. STAFF COMMENTS
9 . 1 Staff have a number of concerns in respect to this application
such as the fact issue of compatibility of proposed commercial
use with the residential character of the area. Also, inasmuch
REPORT NO. : PD-175-90 PAGE 5
as a site plan application has not been submitted, it cannot
be determined what the "end-use" will be. Without the
submission of a Site Plan, staff cannot determine if this
application conforms to the Town of Newcastle Official Plan.
Until such information is provided, staff cannot support this
application.
10. CONCLUSION
10 . 1 As the purpose of this report is to address the requirement
of a Public Meeting under the Planning Act and in
consideration of the outstanding site plan, it is recommended
that the application be referred back to staff for further
processing.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee
