BACKGROUND 2 . 1 In September of 1990, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department was advised by the Region of Durham of an application for approval of a Plan of Subdivision submitted by Kingsberry Properties . 2 .2 In September of 1990, the applicant also filed an application with the municipality to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to implement the above-noted plan of subdivision. 2 . 3 The proposal is situated on a 4 . 072 hectare ( 10.06 acre) parcel located on the west side of Trulls Road, south of Highway No. 2 but is more formally described as Part of Lot 31, Concession 2 in the former Township of Darlington. 3 . PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 3. 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. 3 .2 As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. However, Staff did receive one telephone inquiry from an area resident who requested more detailed information with respect to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. 4 . OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4 . 1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property would appear to be designated Residential. As the primary use of land so designated is intended to be for residential purposes, the application would appear to conform to the Durham Region Official Plan. C11 . . . . 3 REPORT NO. : PD-307-90 PAGE 3 4 .2 Within the Courtice Major Urban Area, the Town of Newcastle Official Plan establishes a maximum of 15 units per net residential hectare for Low Density Residential development, a maximum of 40 units per net residential hectare for Medium Density Residential development and a maximum of 80 units per net residential hectare for High Density Residential development. The applicant is proposing to develop the 4 . 072 hectare ( 10.06 acre) parcel at an overall density of 34 . 32 units per net residential hectare which falls within the medium density range as defined by the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The Neighbourhood Development Plan for Courtice South does not identify specific areas for medium and high density development in order to permit greater flexibility in subdivision design. Medium density residential development is intended to be located adjacent to existing low density residential uses and fronting on local roads or minor collectors . 4 . 3 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan also established a target population of 4300 for the "2B" Neighbourhood. The proposed plan of subdivision must be reviewed within the context of the target population. Staff have estimated that the 112B" Neighbourhood has an area of approximately 117 hectares (289 . 1 acres) that can be developed. Therefore, given the target population of 4300, it can be determined that the 112B" Neighbourhood can develop at approximately 12 . 3 units per gross residential hectare in order to maintain the target population. The proposed draft plan of subdivision has a gross area of 4 . 072 hectares ( 10.06 acres) and a total of 97 units which equates to a density of 23. 82 units per gross residential hectare. Staff will continue to evaluate the application within the context of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan and the residential density policies contained therein. 5 . ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 5. 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, the subject property is zoned in part "Holding - Urban Residential �, � . . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-307-90 PAGE 4 Type One ( (H)R1) " and in part "Urban Residential Type One (R1) " which would permit the development of the subject property with single and two-family dwellings . As the application proposes to develop street townhouses, the applicant has also applied to amend the zoning by-law accordingly. 6 . AGENCY COMMENTS 6 . 1 The application for a proposed 97 unit plan of subdivision was circulated to various agencies by the Durham Region Planning Department. Concurrently, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department undertook a circulation of the proposed zoning by-law amendment. The following provides a brief synopsis of the agency comments received to date. 6 .2 The Ministry of Natural Resources has advised that the subject property is located within the Robinson Creek watershed and that the watershed provides a warm water habitat for the production of bait fish species . Therefore, while no objection is offered to the proposed zoning by-law amendment at this time, the Ministry advises that a stormwater management plan, a drainage plan and an erosion control plan will be requested through the approval of the proposed draft plan of subdivision. 6 . 3 The Community Services Department has advised that Block 156 in Registered Plan 10M-839 provides a walkway which is intended to be extended through the subject property to Bushford Street. Therefore, the applicant will have to revise the proposed draft plan of subdivision in order to facilitate the extension of Block 156 in Registered Plan 10M 839 through the subject property. In addition, while the Community Services Department has no objection to the proposal, the Community Services Department will require the parkland dedication requirement to be accepted as cash-in- lieu on the basis of 1 hectare per 300 dwelling units with the funds realized being credited to the Parks Reserve Account. ,� � I . . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD-307-90 PAGE 5 6 .4 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has reviewed the proposal and has no objection to its approval subject to the Town's standard conditions. In addition, the Public Works Department has noted that the applicant will be required to dedicate a 5 . 18 metre road widening to the Town and that the applicant will be required to delineate individual lot lines for Blocks 33 to 38 on any future draft plans . 6 .5 The balance of the circulated agencies which provided comments were the Town of Newcastle Fire Department and Ontario Hydro. Neither of these agencies provided objectionable comments with respect to the subject applications . The Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Transportation, the Public School Board, the Separate School Board, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the Regional Works Department have all yet to respond to the circulation. 7 . STAFF COMMENTS 7 . 1 The applicant is proposing to create a 97 unit plan of subdivision on the subject property which is located on the west side of Trulls Road, south of Highway No. 2 . The Planning and Development Department note that ten ( 10) of the proposed single family dwellings are proposing direct access onto Trulls Road. 7 .2 Trulls Road is designated as a Type "B" arterial road within the existing planning framework for Courtice. Direct access onto Type "B" arterials is undesirable from a planning perspective and theoretically, the lands should be developed with service lanes in order to discourage and limit direct access onto Trulls Road. 7 . 3 Nevertheless, the Planning and Development Department will continue to evaluate the proposal with respect to the issue of direct access onto Trulls Road and with respect to the residential density policies contained within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. � � � . . . .6 REPORT NO. : PD-307-90 PAGE 6 7 .4 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements of the Planning Act with respect to a Public Meeting, and in consideration of the outstanding comments, it would be in order to have the application referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.
