5.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject property as "Mixed Use Area"
within the Courtice Sub-Central Area Secondary Plan. This land use designation
permits mixed use buildings with retail and personal service uses on the ground
floor, professional and business offices, medium and high density residential
development, and community facilities. The development proposal conforms to
the policies of the Clarington Official Plan.
6.0 ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
6.1 The property is currently zoned "Special Purpose Commercial (C5) Zone", which
does not permit the proposed retail and office uses. In order to consider the
proposed development, a rezoning application was submitted for consideration.
7.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION
7.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the
subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the property's road
frontage.
7.2 A concern was raised by the adjacent property owner to the east (Wayne
Bolahood) that storm water from the proposed development would negatively
impact his property. In particular, this owner would like a joint servicing solution
for storm water generated by redevelopment along the south side of Durham
Highway 2 east of Darlington Boulevard. This issue will be further discussed in
Section 9.2 of this report.
7.3 An area resident has submitted a letter of objection to the proposal, indicating
that sufficient commercial development is present in Courtice. The following
issues are raised:
. Recent development has increased the amount of traffic and noise in the
area. Additional development will aggravate the situation.
. The existing traffic generates a lot of pollution, especially from idling vehicles.
. The resident experienced vandalism to her own property. Additional
development will lead to more security problems.
These issues will be further discussed in Section 9.3 of this report.
8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 The Clarington Emergency Services Department has no objections to the
proposed development.
