PD-153-91 PAGE 2 1. 3 Zoning Amendment: From "Light Industrial (M1) " to an appropriate zone category in order to permit a 363 square metre lube warehouse and office for bulk sale and storage of petroleum. 1.4 Part Lot Control Application: Seeking exemption from Part Lot Control on Block 6, in Plan 10M 831 in order to create a .4 hectare parcel and a .6 hectare parcel from the 1. 0 hectare parcel . 1. 5 Area: . 60 hectare ( 1.47 acres) 2 . BACKGROUND 2 . 1 In April of 1991, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department received an application, submitted by Carholme Investments Ltd. on behalf of Imperial Oil Ltd. , to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, in order to permit the establishment of a 363 square metre Lube Warehouse and Office for the bulk sale and storage of petroleum. 2 . 2 For the Committee's information, Imperial Oil Ltd. have previously submitted a zoning amendment application to the Municipality on lands located in Part Lot 13, Concession 2, former Town of Bowmanville (Sturrock Ave. ) . However, due to opposition from area residents, Imperial Oil Ltd. has elected to explore the possibility of relocating the Sturrock Avenue facility. 2 . 3 Imperial Oil Ltd. intends to develop the subject property with bulk underground storage tanks and a 363 square metre Lube Warehouse and Office. Approximately two-thirds of the warehouse is enclosed and is used to store barrels of various fuels . The applicant has advised that legislation governing the storage and handling of certain fuels requires open air ventilation. . . . . 3 r- REPORT NO. PD-153-91 PAGE 3 Therefore, the remaining portion of the warehouse will contain 3 outer walls and a roof and will be used to store fuels which require open air ventilation. 2 .4 The lands subject to the current application is a rectangular shaped parcel approximately . 60 hectare ( 1.5 acre) in size and is located at the north-west corner of Butler Court and Lake Road but is more formally described as part of Block 6 in Registered Plan 10M 831. 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. As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. 4 . OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4 . 1 Within both the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, the subject property would appear to be designated Industrial. As the primary use of lands so designated is intended to be for industrial purposes, the application would appear to conform with both the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. 5 . ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5 . 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, the subject property is zoned Light Industrial (M1) . The current zone category does not recognize bulk storage tanks as a permitted use and the applicant has therefore, applied to amend the zoning by-law accordingly. . . . .4 j � REPORT NO. PD-153-91 PAGE 4 6 . AGENCY COI-IMENTS 6 . 1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies . The following provides a brief synopsis of the comments received relating to the proposal. 6 . 2 The Public Works Department has reviewed the applications and advise that they have no objection to the zoning amendment and part lot control applications . However, the Public Works Department has noted that Site Plan Approval cannot proceed until such time as the applicant/owner submits a storm water management plan satisfactory to the Director of Public Works . The plan should include all storm sewer/drainage design sheets . Storm water flow will be limited to a maximum of 25 litres/second/hectare as per the terms of the subdivision agreement. 6 . 3 The Town of Newcastle Fire Department has advised that they have no objection to the proposal but note for the applicant's and Committee's information that the application will have to comply with the Gasoline Handling Act since the application proposes the storage and distribution of petroleum products . 6 .4 The Central lake Ontario Conservation Authority has advised that the subject lands are located within the drainage area of a small unnamed creek and that site specific stormwater management requirements have not as yet been determined. However, the Authority has acknowledged that these issues can be addressed through Site Plan Approval and therefore, offer no objection to the zoning amendment and part lot control applications . 6 .5 The balance of the circulated agencies which have provided comments were the Ministry of Transportation, Regional Planning Department, Regional Works Department and Town of Newcastle . . . .5 REPORT NO. PD-153-91 PAGE 5 Community Services Department. None of the aforementioned agencies provided objectionable comments with respect to the application. The Ministry of the Environment has responded verbally that they do not respond to zoning amendment and part lot control applications and that any concerns of the Ministry have been addressed previously through the circulation of the Plan of Subdivision. 7 . STAFF COMMENTS 7 . 1 The applicant intends to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit the development of a . 60 hectare parcel ( 1 .47 acre) with a 363 square metre Lube Warehouse and Office. The current zone category would not permit the proposal since the site is to be developed with bulk storage tanks . 7 .2 In addition, for the Committee's information, Carholme Investments Ltd. has also submitted an application on behalf of Imperial Oil Ltd. to remove Part Lot Control from Block 6 of Registered Plan 1OM-831. Block 6 is currently 1 hectare (2 .47 acres) in size, however, Imperial Oil Ltd. requires only .6 hectare ( 1. 47 acres) for the proposed Lube Warehouse and Office. Therefore, Carholme Investments Ltd. is also seeking the removal of Part Lot Control in order to create a .4 hectare ( 1 acre) parcel and a . 6 hectare ( 1 .47 acre) parcel . Staff note that both of these parcels would satisfy the zoning by-law with respect to lot area and lot frontage. 7 .3 With respect to the proposed amendment to the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, the Planning and Development Department considers the application as reasonable since the proposed use is similar in nature to the uses permitted in the current zone category. It may appear that the amendment to the zoning by-law would permit the placement of large bulk storage . . . .6 LI n REPORT NO. PD-153-91 PAGE 6 tanks on a high visibility site which is contrary to planning principles . However, given that the storage tanks are to be contained underground, Staff are of the opinion that the proposed use is appropriate and is compatible with the surrounding area. 8 . CONCLUSION 8 . 1 In consideration of the comments contained within this report, the Planning and Development Department would have no objection to the approval of the attached zoning by-law amendment, as applied for. Staff advise that the removal of the Holding (H) prefix will require Council approval at such time as a Site Plan Agreement has been executed. 8 .2 In addition, Staff have no objection to the approval of the attached by-law exempting the subject lands from Part Lot Control . Attached hereto is a by-law to exempt the subject lands from Section 49 (5) of the Planning Act, pursuant to the provisions of Section 49 (7) of the Act.
