SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE OFFICIAL PLAN
AND THE COURTICE WEST NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN
FILE: OP 2.2.1 (4)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-280-90 be received;
2 . THAT the proposed amendments to the Town of Newcastle Official
Plan and the Courtice West Neighbourhood Development Plan,
being Attachment Nos . 1 and 2, respectively, be adopted by
Council;
3 . THAT a copy of this Report and Council's decision be forwarded
to the Region of Durham Planning Department; and
4 . THAT the interested parties listed in this Report and any
delegation be advised of Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1. 1 Location
The proposed amendments affect both the Town of Newcastle
Official Plan and the Courtice West Neighbourhood
Development Plan. Within the Courtice Urban Area, they
affect both Neighbourhoods la and lb. However, the
_50
i
REPORT PD -280-90 PAGE 2
majority of changes are proposed for an area bounded by
the Town limits (Townline Road) on the west, Nash Road
on the south, Varcoe Road and a 11.25 hectare woodlot on
the east, and the alignment of the proposed Adelaide
Avenue extension on the north.
1.2 Designation
The above-mentioned area was incorporated into the
Courtice Urban Area through amendments to the Regional
and Newcastle Official Plans, and was approved by the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs on June 30, 1986. It is
a policy of the Newcastle Official Plan that in the
Courtice Urban Area, appropriate designations be
incorporated into the relevant Neighbourhood Development
Plan prior to development. In the Newcastle Official Plan
the entire area has been designated "Residential" except
the valleylands of a tributary of Harmony Creek which are
designated "Major Open Space." Also, a park site is
indicated.
1.3 Draft Amendment
1.3.1 In 1987, a draft amendment to the Courtice West
Neighbourhood Development Plan was first put forward to
give the area neighbourhood plan coverage. The draft
amendment also proposed the redesignation of the 11.25
hectare woodlot from "Minor Open Space" to "Residential".
A public meeting regarding this amendment was held in
June 1987 and, following the meeting Council resolved to
refer the amendment back to Staff for further review and
discussion with area residents.
1.3.2 In January 1988 Staff met with area residents to discuss
the proposed amendment. Seven concerns were raised:
599 1 3
REPORT .D .0 PAGE 3
1) the location of the Neighbourhood Park;
2) the road pattern for the lands between the Harmony
Creek tributary and Varcoe Road did not allow for
optimum development of the area;
3) the proposed local road pattern did not provide for
efficient movement of traffic but, support was given
for the easterly extension of Adelaide Avenue;
4) support was given for the pedestrian connection
crossing the Harmony Creek tributary and connecting
with Lawson Road;
5) the proposed Neighbourhood Development Plan
Amendment did not protect the hardwood woodlot west
of Varcoe Road;
6) the proposed Neighbourhood Park was too large; and
7) residents fronting on Old Varcoe Road were opposed
to closure of the road.
1.4 Revised Draft Amendment
1.4.1 As a result of the concerns raised and further review,
Staff prepared a Revised Draft Amendment to the Courtice
West Neighbourhood Development Plan. The most
significant aspects of the revised amendment were as
follows:
1) Adelaide Avenue was to extend east of Townline Road
(as a collector road) to Tooley Road;
2) Old Varcoe Road was to be closed to eliminate the
existing sub -standard intersection with Varcoe Road;
3) access to the Old Varcoe Road homes was to be
provided through the development of the Subdivision
(18T-86068) to the east;
4) roads were proposed to allow in-depth development
on both sides of the Harmony Creek tributary;
599 i4
REPORT PD -280-90 PAGE 4
5) one small, wedge-shaped land parcel (north of the
Townline/Nash intersection) was designated a medium -
density residential area;
6) a centrally located 0.8 hectare parkette was
established with access to the previously mentioned
valleylands; and,
7) appropriate appendix and schedule amendments were
proposed to reflect the incorporation of the north
of Nash/west of Varcoe area into the Courtice West
Neighbourhood.
1.4.2 The Revised Draft Amendment to the Neighbourhood
Development Plan and a proposed amendment to the
Newcastle Official Plan were the subject of Report PD -
238 -89 and it was presented at a Public Meeting of the
General Purpose and Administration Committee on October
2, 1989.
In the meeting, many expressed concern that new
development would generate additional traffic, thereby
necessitating additional spending on roads and increasing
the tax burden.
Among the more specific concerns, Irwin Weidner of 100
Varcoe Road was concerned regarding the impact of the
parkette designation on his property. Wayne Jeffrey,
representing 290572 Ontario Limited, the developers of
twelve (12) acres on the northwest side of the
valleylands, wanted to begin building in 1990.
1.4.3 A written submission was received from Ruth Weidner, also
of 100 Varcoe Road, who wrote that she was concerned
about the parkette designation for her property ruining
5 9 `) 1_-}
REPORT PD -280-90 PAGE 5
the value of her property in the real estate marketplace.
She stated her opposition to the amendment as long as her
property was not bought out at a market -appraised value.
2. AGENCY COMMENTS
2.1 The draft amendment was circulated to various public
agencies for comments in accordance with Departmental
procedures.
2.2 In reviewing the Plan of Subdivision submitted by Wayne
Jeffrey (18T-89115), the Durham Regional Works Department
has requested the closure of Lawson Road. This comment
was reiterated with regard to the draft Neighbourhood
Development Plan Amendment. Support was given for the
creation of an alternative access through the extension
of a north -south local road from Lawson north to the
(proposed) Adelaide Avenue extension. Durham Region
Public Works also noted that there were no constraints
for water or sanitary sewer services for this area,
including the designation of the lands for medium density
residential use.
2.3 Newcastle Public Works had no objections to the closure
of Lawson Road or the creation of an alternative access
through the extension of a north -south local road to
connect Lawson to the (proposed) Adelaide Avenue
extension. As well, Newcastle Public Works had no
objections to the proposed layout of local roads in the
area including the adjustment south of Highway No. 2.
2.4 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
(C.L.O.C.A.) noted that the amendment called for an
extension of Adelaide Avenue to Tooley Road. C.L.O.C.A.
was concerned that the alignment for the Adelaide
599 16
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 6
extension was fixed, thereby negatively impacting the
northern edge of the 11.25 hectare woodlot/wetland
located north of Centrefield Drive.
2.5 The Ministry of Natural Resources responded that the
creek tributary flowing through the area has no
significant fisheries resources but, it is a contributing
watercourse for the Oshawa Second Marsh, a "provincially
significant wetland". Since the tributary has this role,
it must be protected from water quality degradation so
as to prevent the degradation of the fish and wildlife
habitat provided by the Marsh.
2.6 The Public School Board had some concerns. The public
elementary school nearest the amendment area (S.T. Worden
Public School) is over -capacity already and will become
even more so. Substandard accommodations already exist
at S.T. Worden, and the proposed amendments imply the use
of more portables.
2.7 The Newcastle Fire Department stated that fire access to,
and firefighting water supplies for, the homes on Old
Varcoe Road will be required if the amendment area is
developed, whether or not the subdivision proposal to the
east is approved. Generally, the continued expansion of
Courtice will put a heavy strain on the Courtice Fire
Station.
2.8 The following agencies had no objections to the proposed
amendment:
Town of Newcastle Community Services
Department;
City of Oshawa Planning and Development
Department; and
599 � /
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 7
Separate School Board.
3. ISSUES AND SUBSTANTIVE ASPECTS
3.1 Adelaide Avenue: The proposed Amendments include an
easterly extension of Adelaide Avenue East from Townline
Road to Tooley Road. It is proposed this road be a Major
Collector Road. It is anticipated that Adelaide Avenue
will be eventually extended east to Courtice Road and
redesignated a Type B Arterial Road. (The draft changes
to Map B of the Durham Regional Official Plan show
Adelaide Avenue as a Type B Arterial Road extending east
to Trull's Road.)
The amendments designate Adelaide Avenue East as a Major
Collector Road so as to neither precede the draft changes
to the Durham Regional Official Plan nor eliminate the
possibility of Adelaide Avenue East easily being
redesignated a Type B Arterial Road. The precise route
alignment for Adelaide Avenue East will be determined
after Newcastle's Route Alignment Study has been
completed. There are policies in the proposed amendments
which note that the alignment is conceptual only and
subject to further study. This will ensure that the
concerns of C.L.O.C.A. and residents are considered.
3.2 Lawson Road: Durham Region Public Works has expressed
concern that the Townline/Lawson intersection is going
to be too close to the Townline/Adelaide intersection.
Therefore, it is proposed that Lawson Road be terminated
in a cul-de-sac. The closure of Lawson Road near
Townline Road necessitates the creation of an alternative
access for the area northwest of the valleylands. It is
proposed that the north -south local road be extended
north of Lawson to Adelaide.
599 18
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 8
3.3 Internal Roads: The road layout for the neighbourhood
northwest of the valleylands is much like a plan of
subdivision submitted on behalf of 290572 Ontario Limited
(Wayne Jeffery).
It is important to note that despite the closure of
Lawson Road, access to the neighbourhood from nearby
arterial or major collector roads has been maintained in
two places. As a condition of development, the developer
will be required to provide an alternative access for
Lawson Road residents.
3.4 Special Study Area: At the southeast corner of Townline
Road and Lawson Road is a land parcel that is subject to
a Neighbourhood Plan Amendment application and a rezoning
application by Tak Lee Architect on behalf of Finefield
Homes. Due to the current evaluation of this application
this land parcel, the portion of Lawson Road north of it,
and the land parcel north of Lawson Road are proposed as
a "Special Study Area". The purpose of the Special Study
Area would be to determine whether commercial or medium
density residential uses would be the most desirable uses
for this consolidated block at the Townl ine /Adelaide
intersection.
3.5 Woodlot: The 11.25 hectare (north of Centrefield Drive)
woodlot/wetland is not addressed by the proposed
amendments. However, the site is addressed by the
Courtice West Neighbourhood Development Plan, where it
is designated as "minor open space". The site is the
subject of Subdivision Application 18T-86068 and a
neighbourhood plan amendment to the Courtice West
Neighbourhood Development Plan. The Newcastle Planning
and Development Department has requested more information
599 i9
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 9
from the applicant but has yet to receive a response.
This site is an environmentally sensitive area so
Adelaide Avenue's alignment study would take this into
consideration in defining a route.
3.6 Varcoe Road: At the present time, the Neighbourhood
Development Plan indicates that Old Varcoe Road would
ultimately close at the intersection with Varcoe Road.
The revised Neighbourhood Development Plan proposes to
maintain this configuration. However, this closure would
not be implemented until alternate access is provided and
at such time as landowners and Town officials agree to
such closure. The alternative access to the houses on
Old Varcoe Road is to be from the north end.
3.7 Parkland: Changes to the Courtice West Neighbourhood
Development Plan, including the addition of the lands
bounded by Townline , Nash, Varcoe and Adelaide Avenue
Extension in conjunction with the Courtice West Corridor
Study, necessitated a comprehensive review to the
Neighbourhood's parks allocations.
Given proposed changes in this report and the Corridor
Study, the Courtice West Neighbourhood, as a whole, would
have a population of 7,300. Sub -neighbourhoods la and
lb have 4,500 people and 2,800 people, respectively.
The Newcastle Official Plan states that Neighbourhood
Parks shall not normally be less than 3.0 hectares in
size and shall be provided on the basis of 0.8
hectares/1,000 residents.
Given these standards, Sub -neighbourhood la (north of
Highway No.2) has a deficiency of 1.18 hectares (2.9
acres) and Sub -neighbourhood lb has a deficiency of 1.59
599 �()
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 10
hectares (3.9 acres). The parkland calculations are
summarized on Attachment U.
It is proposed that the 1.18 ha (2.9 acre) deficiency in
Sub -neighbourhood la (north of Highway No. 2) does not
warrant the development of an additional neighbourhood
park as currently designated in the Town's Official Plan.
Consequently it is proposed that the deficiency be met
through maintaining the existing parkette designation 0.4
ha (1 acre) near Tooley Road and the designation of a new
parkette of 0.8 ha (2 acres) west of Varcoe Road and
adjacent to the Harmony Creek tributary.
In the Courtice West Highway No. 2 Corridor Study, Staff
proposed that the deficiency in Sub -neighbourhood lb be
met through the designation of a new 1.6 ha (4.0 acre)
park adjacent to the Farewell Creek and east of
Darlington Blvd. This proposal was based on the
redesignation of Foxhunt Park to parkette status.
Regarding Foxhunt, it was noted that the lands which were
proposed for ultimate development as a park were poorly
configured and were not suited as an active recreation
park with sports fields. It also was not well situated
to provide service to the majority of residents in the
area south of Highway No.2.
The proposed new park is favourably located to provide
service to the bulk of the residential population located
east of Darlington Blvd. Moreover, the park
configuration is suitable for active recreation use and
connects to the important valleyland area of the Farewell
Creek.
As a result of the concerns raised by Delbert Development
Corporation and adjacent residents, Staff reviewed the
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 11
matter in detail. A number of alternative locations were
reviewed. None of these were considered viable. In
addition, Community Services Staff also considered a
preliminary layout of such a park. With lands required
to make the connection to the valleylands, the required
configuration of a sports field (baseball or soccer) and
the buffer areas, it was deemed necessary to seek a 2.1
ha (5 acre) park site. It is noted that this is still
below the Town's minimum size for neighbourhood parks,
being 3 ha (7.4 acres).
With regard to the concerns of residents and development
interests about receiving full value for their property,
it is noted that the park would be implemented through
parkland dedication and purchases at full market value.
The cash -in -lieu contributions are collected for this
purpose and would fund such acquisitions deemed necessary
over and above the park dedication requirement of Delbert
Developments.
Staff consider that the implementation of this park is
important to provide residents with the minimum service
and design standards now accepted in the Town for
parkland. Park development is essential for servicing
existing and new residents and consequently, new
development should not proceed until such is properly
secured.
3.8 Medium Density Residential: It is proposed that there
be, north of the Townline/Nash intersection, a land
parcel (wedge-shaped, between Townline Road and the
valleylands) that is medium -density residential. This
would permit the development of thirty (30) townhouses
and thereby contribute to the province's requirement that
599
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 12
25% of all new housing be affordable housing.
4. CHANGES TO PLAN SCHEDULES
4.1 There are several "housekeeping" or technical changes
proposed for the Courtice West Neighbourhood Development
Plan and the Newcastle Official Plan including the
following:
1) realignment of the boundary between Sub -
neighbourhoods la and lb;
2) consolidation of three population figures into one
population figure (for the three population
precincts north of Highway No.2 and south of Nash
Road); and
3) the change in one population figure because of the
Regal Park Condominiums project.
4) changing reference to the "Official Plan for the
Township of Darlington" to the "Town of Newcastle
Official Plan".
5) Deleting Appendix A - Student Generation
4.2 The Regal Park Condominiums Proposal by Quantum Homes and
the associated rezoning was approved for 333 residential
units adding approximately an additional 970 residents.
In the approval of the amendment only, the Land Use
Schedule was changed. The Population Schedule was not
changed. The proposed amendment would correct that
oversight.
599 �-.',
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 13
4.3 The most important aspect of these changes is the
proposal incorporating the area east of Townline Road,
west of Varcoe Road, north of Nash Road and south of the
proposed Adelaide Avenue Extension, into the Courtice
West Neighbourhood Development Plan, thereby bringing
this Plan into conformity with the Newcastle Official
Plan.
Both Schedules 1 and 2, of the Courtice West
Neighbourhood Development Plan must be amended. Schedule
1 must incorporate the land use/urban design layout for
the "north of Nash/west of Varcoe" area. Schedule 2 must
incorporate a new land parcel, i.e., the north of
Nash/west of Varcoe area and, it must show a population
figure of 1,000 for this land parcel.
4.4 The easterly extension of Adelaide Avenue and the
northerly extension of Varcoe Road have been classified
as major and minor collector roads respectively. These
extensions are shown on Schedule 1 of the Courtice West
Neighbourhood Development Plan and Schedules 6-1 and 6-
4 of the Newcastle Official Plan.
4.5 The proposed changes balancing the distribution of
neighbourhood parks in the Courtice West Neighbourhood
involve several plan schedule changes. A new parkette
(0.8 hectares) has been identified west of Varcoe Road
and a new park (2.1 hectares) has been identified west
of Darlington Boulveard. Foxhunt Park has been reduced
to "parkette" status.
For the Newcastle Official Plan, Schedule 6-1 must be
changed by deleting a Neighbourhood Park symbol from Sub -
neighbourhood la (northwest of the Nash/Varcoe
REPORT NO.: PD -280-90 PAGE 14
intersection) and adding a Neighbourhood Park symbol to
Sub -neighbourhood lb (southeast of the Highway
No.2/Darlington Boulevard intersection).
5. CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of this report is to describe the revisions
contained in both the Proposed Amendment to the Courtice
West Neighbourhood Development Plan and the associated
Proposed Amendment to the Newcastle Official Plan.
In conclusion, Staff recommend approval of the two
Proposed Amendments.
