REPORT NO. : Pn-33-84 Page 2
BACKGROUND:
On December 16, 1983 the Planning Department received an
application submitted on behalf of Sri Inai International
Inc. to rezone a 106.73 acre parcel of land in Part Lot 7,
Concession 2, former Township of Darlington. The purpose of
the rezoning was to permit the development of a private
school and dormitory facilities on the site of the former
Pine Ridge Training School .
The application as noted within Staff Report PD-13-84 was
circulated to various departments and agencies for comment.
In response to staff' s request, the Region of Durham advises
as follows :
1 . The subject site is predominantly designated
"Permanent Agricultural Reserve" on Map AS of the Durham
Regional Official Plan. A private school is not a
permitted use within this landuse designation.
2. The provisions of Section 6.2.8 of the Durham Regional
Official Plan are also applicable to site. This section
states that :
"Notwithstanding Section 6.2.1 , institutional
uses may be permitted outside the urban areas
on individual services in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.5 within the sites
indicated below:
a) the St. John Training School in the Township of
Uxbridge; and
b) the former Pine Ridge Training School in the Town of
Newcastle."
Institutional uses are defined in Section 8.5.2.1 of the
Durham Plan as uses of "Public or quasi -public purposes
of a Regional nature, such as hospitals, penal
institutions, colleges and universities."
It is the Regional staff' s considered opinion that the
proposed private college does not qualify as an
institutional use as envisaged in the Durham Regional
Official Plan. , . .3

Accordingly, the applicant has been advised of this
situation and provided with an application to be submitted
for an Official Plan amendment to permit the private school
on the former Pine Ridge Training School site.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The Town of Newcastle has been advised by the Region of
Durham, that it has received an application to amend the
Region of Durham Official Plan, to permit the use of the
above-noted property for a private school with dormitory
facilities.
In consideration of the opinion of the Regional staff
respecting conformity of the proposed private school to the
Region of Durham Official Plan , staff have no objections to
the approval of the Official Plan amendment as submitted.
Accordingly, staff would recommend that the General Purpose
and Administration Committee recommend to Council , that the
Region of Durham be so advised, that the Town of Newcastle
has no objections to the application to amend the Durham
Regional Official Plan for the above-noted use.
Respectfully submitted,
