BACKGROUND 2 . 1 On March 30, 1990 the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department received an application submitted by Tak Lee Architect/Finefield Homes to amend the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, and to amend the Courtice West Neighbourhood Development Plan. 2 .2 The zoning of the subject site was changed by amendment from 'Agricultural (A) ' to 'Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-17) ' in March of 1986 . 3. LOCATION 3 . 1 The subject site is located in Part Lot 35, Concession 3, in the former Township of Darlington. The subject site is located on the southeast corner of Lawson Road and Townline Road as shown on the attached Key Map. 4. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4 . 1 Existing Uses: Vacant 4 .2 Surrounding Uses: East - Residential West - Residential REPORT NO. : PD-201-90 PAGE 3 South - Residential North - Residential 5. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS 5. 1 A written submission was received from Mr. and Mrs . Checchia of 15 Lawson Road. Mr. & Mrs . Checchia do not believe that a shopping plaza is an appropriate use of the lands in question for the following reasons: 1) This site is within one mile of Townline Road and King Street, which intersection has a large shopping plaza on the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection, as well as a new convenience store at the northeast intersection, and it appears that a commercial use will be instituted at the southeast corner as well. 2) There are no water and sewer services available at Lawson Road. Several of the houses on Lawson Road experience septic problems during a wet spring, and the land in question is low. 3) The property has just been re-zoning from agricultural to residential and now a commercial designation is being sought. 4) A small plaza will increase the noise, garbage, and traffic problems at the intersection and surrounding area. REPORT NO. : PD-201-90 PAGE 4 6. NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 6 . 1 On October 2, 1989, the General Purpose and Administration Committee were presented with an amendment to the Courtice West Neighbourhood Development Plan, as per Schedule 'A' to this report. The Committee referred the matter back to Staff for further review and the preparation of a subsequent report upon receipt of all outstanding agency comments. The subject application by Tak Lee Architect/Finefield Homes was submitted after the preparation of that report. It was proposed for a low density residential designation on Schedule 'A' . The applicant wishes to have these lands designated convenience commercial instead of low density residential. 7. ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 7 . 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84- 63, the subject property is zoned "Urban Residential Type One Exception (R1-17 ) 1 . Consequently, the applicant has applied to appropriately amend the zoning by-law in order to permit the commercial uses. 8. COMMENTS FROM AGENCIES 8. 1 The subject application was circulated by the Town to various agencies and departments to obtain comments . The following agencies/departments have offered no objection to this proposal: Ministry of Natural Resources 5 UA REPORT NO. : PD-201-90 PAGE 5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Town of Newcastle Fire Department Region of Durham Department of Health Services 8.2 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department feel that this proposal is premature until such time as urban servicing is in place for this area. 8.3 Comments have not been received to date from the following agencies/departments: Newcastle Community Services Public School Board Separate School Board Regional Works Department Regional Planning Department Ministry of the Environment City of Oshawa Planning Department 9.
