1.0 BACKGROUND
On December 6, 2004, Council of the Municipality of Clarington approved Staff
Report PSD-160-04 as the Municipality's comments on the Province's draft
Greenbelt Plan.
Since that time, staff have been continuing to review the implications of the
Greenbelt and the Greenbelt boundary. This report is an Addendum to Report
PSD-160-04 with respect to the rural residential cluster of Bond Head and its
proposed exclusion from the Greenbelt.
2.0 COMMENTS
The cluster of Bond Head is located adjacent to the Newcastle Urban Area and
has been identified as "Protected Countryside" within the Province's draft
Greenbelt Plan.
The Clarington Official Plan designates Bond Head "Rural Residential Cluster"
having a maximum of 50 residential lots. In accordance with the Official Plan, all
residential lots in Bond Head must be connected to municipal water and new lots
must be in the form of infilling.
Much of the lands within Bond Head are currently zoned Rural Cluster. Other
lands remain zoned Agriculture; although the small parcels intermingled with
residential lots have a marginal use for any agricultural purpose. Municipal water
has been extended to Bond Head.
If the lands in Bond Head remain in the Protected Countryside designation of the
Greenbelt Plan, there will be no opportunity to consider infilling and other minor
growth potential in Bond Head. Given the prime waterfront location and the
municipal investment in park facilities on the waterfront, freezing the cluster in its
current state would prevent the Municipality, in perpetuity, from considering the
potential of this area as an executive housing enclave.
3.0 CONCLUSION
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing should be requested to remove
Bond Head cluster from within the limits of the draft Greenbelt Plan as shown on
Attachment 1 to this report.
