Director of Planning Services Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer FLlDJC/df 4 November 2004 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ClARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 001 ,. , REPORT NO.: PSD-143-04 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 On June 28th, 2004 Council approved the expropriation of specific properties in the East Beach area; Council approved further acquisitions and expropriations in the East Beach area in October of 2004. The lands to be acquired have been identified in the Waterfront Strategy (1992) and in the Land Acquisition Strategy (2000) as amended. 1.2 At the October 25th, 2004 meeting of Council, staff was authorized to make appropriate amendments to the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan. 1.3 This amendment to the Secondary Plan is to allow for the relocation of a portion of Port Darlington Road and East Beach Road and the enlargement of the East Beach portion of the district park for the Bowmanville Waterfront. 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2.1 Additions to the Policies The Official Plan Amendment proposes relatively minor modifications to policies concerned with the alignment of a portion of Port Darlington Road and East Beach Road in Sections 4, 8 and 11. The following highlights the revised policies contained within the Amendment (by Section number). All changes to the text are noted in bold italics. "4.4 Notwithstanding Section 24.3 of this Official Plan, the road alignments and land use designations on Map A - Land Use will be confirmed by detailed park development and engineering studies. The configuration of the Marina Commercial, Village Commercial and Waterfront Greenway designations will be subject to the road alignment and district park configuration. " "8. 1 The Waterfront Greenway comprises lands within the Regulatory Shoreline Area and additional lands to be acquired by means of park/and dedication or municipal acquisition. The Municipality will seek to secure park/and for an appropriate distance beyond the Regulatory Shoreline area as determined through the review of development applications, detailed park development plans, hydraulic, shoreline and wetland studies." "11.5 The West Beach Road west of the Liberty street extension shall be maintained as a rural cross section. All other loca/ roads shall be constructed and maintained to an urban standard; except through the district park where urban standards may be altered to provide for park related features." 6Q2 REPORT NO.: PSD-143-04 PAGE 3 2.1.1 The Amendment clarifies that the acquisition of the East and West Beaches for the District Park is part of the municipal acquisition strategy. "8.3 The Municipality Greenway as indicated on Map A. It is the long term goal of this plan for the Municipality to acquire lands in the West and East Beaches for one of these District Parks. The Municipality has developed an acquisition strategy setting out priority areas and timeframes for acquisition. Council may amend the acquisition strategy based on the detailed plans for the park development. The other District Park will be acquired and developed in conjunction with residential development. " 2.2 Deletions from the Policies 2.2.1 Policy 7.4 provided for an alternative use to public parkland on the south side of East Beach Road. The Amendment removes the policy. With the continued erosion in this area, the cost of preparing and implementing a comprehensive shoreline stabilization plan through private ownership and public acquisition of many of these parcels, it has become apparent that this policy is not desirable. Instead, commercial uses should be set well back from the shoreline to enhance public safety, security and usability of the waterfront district park.

Section numbers of the Secondary Plan are identified with the recommended changes noted in BOLD. 2.2 Clarification that "local residents" are "local residents of Clarington" 4.4 Renumber existing 4.4 to 4.5 6.3 "Marina Facilities" are plural not singular. 13.2 Permitted structures includes "bridges/boardwalks" ti03 , " REPORT NO.: PSD.143-04 PAGE 4 3.0 PUBLIC MEETING 3.1 In accordance with the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, appropriate notice of the Public Meeting was given through advertisements placed in the October 20, 2004 edition of the Canadian Statesman. A courtesy letter was mailed to the individuals in the East Beach area that we are engaged in property negotiations with and the Port Darlington Community Association. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 The Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan identified a policy framework for the future development of a residential neighbourhood generally located east of the Bowmanville Creek. It also included policies for the overall acquisition and development of the Bowmanville Waterfront District Park. This revision provides for the enlargement of the District Park and realignment of Port Darlington Road and East Beach Road. This amendment will incorporate appropriate policies into the Municipality's Official Plan to provide for some flexibility in the precise configuration of this larger park. 4.2 The Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, requires that a Public Meeting be scheduled to consider an Official Plan Amendment. The purpose of this report is to facilitate the public consideration of the proposed Official Plan Amendment to the Port Darlington Neighbourhood Secondary Plan.
