LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 3.1 The subject site is currently vacant. A large amount of topsoil was stockpiled on site from development of earlier phases of the subdivisions. The topsoil is currently being removed. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Residential South - Residential and a Stormwater Management Pond East - Rosswell Park and Residential West - Residential REPORT NO.: PSD-011-14 PAGE 4 View of the Site looking South on Southfield Drive fr ;kz b Y z t s „ r ." 4. PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement 4.1.1 The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs. 4.1.2 Policy related to Settlement Areas, states that new development shall occur adjacent to built up areas and shall have compact form, a mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services. 4.1.3 The Housing Policies state that Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are designated. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are or will be available. A full range of housing types and densities shall be provided to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area. 4.1.4 Infrastructure and public service facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient and cost effective manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for growth so that they are available to meet current and projected needs. The use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized where feasible before considering developing new infrastructure and public service facilities. REPORT NO.: PSD-011-14 PAGE 5 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan 4.2.1 The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing population growth to settlement areas. Municipalities are encouraged to create complete communities that offer a mix of land uses, employment and housing options, high quality open space, and access to stores and services. Growth is to be accommodated in transit-supportive communities to reduce dependence on the automobile through the development of mixed use, pedestrian-friendly environments. Growth shall also be directed to areas that offer municipal water and wastewater systems. Municipalities should establish an urban open space system within built up areas. The subject lands are within the `built-up' area. By 2015, a minimum of 40% of new development is intended to be directed to the built up area annually, measured across the Region of Durham. 5. OFFICIAL PLANS 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Areas which are to be developed to incorporate the widest possible variety of living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. In consideration of development applications in designated Living Areas, regard shall be had for the intent of this plan to achieve the following: • A compact urban form; • The use of good urban design principles; • The provision of convenient pedestrian access to public transit, educational facilities and parks; • A grid pattern of roads; • The provision and distribution of parks, trails and pathways and educational facilities; • The types and capacities of the existing municipal services, infrastructure and the feasibility of expansion; and • The balance between energy efficiency and cost. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as a Public Elementary School and a Separate Elementary School. The lands are within the South West Courtice Secondary Plan which also identifies the site of a Public Elementary and Separate Elementary School. REPORT NO.: PSD-011-14 PAGE 6 The lands are within the Bayview Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 4500 and a housing unit target of 1625, including 1150 low density units. The applicant is requesting to amend the land use schedules to replace the Public Elementary and Separate Elementary School symbols with a low density residential designation and to increase the population allocation to 4750, and increase the low density units to 1250. The goals of the South-West Courtice Secondary Plan are to provide a residential living environment that promotes a desirable quality of life and social interaction; and to provide a broad range of housing to meet evolving needs of current and future residents. Southfield Drive and Fenning Drive are both designated as collector roads which serve to funnel traffic from the subdivision and park out to Bloor Street, Townline Road, and Prestonvale Road all of which are designated as arterial roads. The Growth Management policies require new development in established neighbourhoods to be designed to respect and reinforce the physical character having regard to the pattern of lots, streets and blocks, the size and configuration of lots, building types of nearby properties, the height and scale of buildings and the setback of buildings from the street, rear and side yards. To become a more sustainable community, the Growth Management policies look to minimizing the consumption of energy and resources to lessen the impacts of residents on the natural environment. The Municipality will promote energy efficiency and conservation in new development. This can be achieved in part, by implementing green development standards incorporating energy efficiency, water conservation, enhanced indoor air quality, use of non-toxic and recycled content building products, renewable energy sources, green roofs, landscaping and tree planting programs and low energy appliances. 6. ZONING BY-LAW 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Urban Residential Exception (R1-42) Zone which only permits a public school as defined in the by-law. A Zoning By-law amendment will be required in order to implement the proposed amendment to draft approval. 7. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND STUDIES 7.1 The Planning Justification Report states that the proposed low density development is a compatible addition to the existing neighbourhood as it is predominately low-density single detached. The existing municipal infrastructure, which includes an adjacent neighbourhood park and stormwater management pond, will be utilized by the residential development. Townline Road is a Type B Arterial Road designed to handle high traffic volumes and will provide efficient access to the future residential use. Traffic from the development is REPORT NO.: PSD-011-14 PAGE 7 not expected to have any significant impact on the adjacent road infrastructure. Bus transit and a future GO Train station are located close by. It is noted that the subject site is well suited for the development of an infill low-density residential project. It generally complies with Residential Density Standards set out in Table 9-1 of the Clarington Official Plan. The proposed density is within the 10-30 unit per net hectare range for the low density category. The location is consistent with the general location criteria internal to neighbourhoods. 7.2 The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, prepared by Geo-Logic Inc. concluded that there are no potential environmental concerns with the subject lands. 8.PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject property and a public meeting notice was installed on the property in the centre of each street frontage. 8.2 As of the writing of the report two inquiries on the proposal were received. One was general in nature. The other expressed concern with the overcrowding of Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School, and the potential increase in traffic in the neighbourhood. 9. AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 Canada Post, Enbridge and Rogers Cable Communications Inc., have no objections to the proposal. Standard conditions have been requested for inclusion in the Conditions of Draft Approval. 9.2 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority generally does not have any objections to the development of this site as a residential plan of subdivision. They have also reviewed the applications for Official Plan Amendment and rezoning and offer no objection to those applications. It was suggested that opportunities to incorporate Low Impact Development measures into this subdivision design should be investigated to provide functions such as water quality treatment and to reduce runoff from the site. Conditions have been provided for inclusion in the Conditions of Draft Approval. 9.3 The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board advised that the proposed subdivision would generate 21 elementary students and up to 9 secondary students. Students would attend Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School (JK to Grade 6), Courtice Intermediate School (Grades 7 and 9) and Courtice Secondary School (Grades 9 to 12). The school board requires public sidewalks for all proposed streets to facilitate pedestrian access to Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School. REPORT NO.: PSD-011-14 PAGE 8 10. DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 10.1 Emergency and Fire Services No fire safety concerns found on the submitted drawings. 10.2 Engineerinq Services Clarington Engineering Services advised that prior to final approval of the proposed draft plan of subdivision the applicant will be required to satisfy the Engineering Services Department regarding the following concerns and conditions. The Functional Servicing Report complies with the original stormwater management scheme for the Robinson Ridge Phase 2 development (when the subject lands were proposed to be school blocks). The Functional Servicing Report addresses servicing in this development including the utilization of previously constructed service stubs. The plan is satisfactory to the Municipality, but must also be approved by the Region of Durham. The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Grading Plan. The plan proposes grading on external lands for which permission must be granted prior to draft approval. Staff continue to work with the consultant to make minor improvements to the otherwise satisfactory plan. The applicant has submitted an on-street parking plan which demonstrates more than sufficient on-street parking spaces. The parkland dedication is identified as Block 83. Additional parkland dedication will be required, and we require that Block 83 be expanded to the north to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services. Fencing must be installed adjacent to the existing park and adjacent to the stormwater management pond to Municipal standard and to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services. 11. DISCUSSION 11.1 Conformity with provincial, regional and municipal policies will be determined upon completion of the review of the studies submitted in support of the application by all relevant departments and agencies. 11.2 The applicant will be required to prepare a Sustainability Plan to address the Growth Management Policies contained in Section 5A of the Clarington Official Plan. The Sustainability Plan should consider the protection and enhancement of the natural environment, energy efficiency, conservation, improved stormwater management, and REPORT NO.: PSD-011-14 PAGE 9 pedestrian infrastructure. This plan must also address how the pedestrian and bicycle routes identified on Map A Land Use of the South West Courtice Secondary Plan will be incorporated into this development. 11.3 Initial review of the parkland dedication provided through the previously approved plans of subdivision (18T-89037 and 18T-95023), compared with the increase in residential units indicate that addition parkland contributions are required. Staff will review this item further with the applicants and their agent. 12. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 13. CONCLUSION 13.1 The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the proposed 82 unit subdivision submitted by 20012544 Ontario Limited (Halminen) & 289143 Ontario Limited (Freedman) for the Public Meeting under the Planning Act. Staff will continue processing the application including the preparation of a subsequent report upon resolution of the identified issues.
