REPORT NO. : PD-116-84 Page 2
BACKGROUND:
On April 13, 1984 the Planning Department received an
application submitted by Mrs. M. Lomax to rezone a 3.56
hectare (8.8 acre) parcel of land located in Part of Lot 27,
Concession 5, former Township of Clarke from "Ml -Industrial "
to "A-Agriculture". The subject site is designated as
"Permanent Agriculture Reserve" by the Durham Regional
Official Plan.
In accordance with departmental procedure, the subject
application was circulated to various departments and
agencies for comment. The following is a summary of the
comments received:
Town of Newcastle Public Works Department
No objection, provided that a 3.9 metre (13 foot) road
widening for the entire frontage onto Mill Street be
dedicated to the Town.
Region of Durham Planning Department
The subject site is located in the vicinity of the Hamlet of
Orono. The boundary and landuses for this hamlet have not
been determined in a development plan. However, the subject
proposal for a single family dwelling would conform if the
subject site is considered as part of the hamlet area and
the proposal is construed as minor addition to existing
development.
Alternatively, if the subject site is considered to lie
outside of the hamlet area, the agricultural area policies
of the Durham Plan would be applicable. The Durham Plan
states that a single family residential dwelling may be
permitted on existing lots of record created on or before
the date of Regional Council adoption of this Plan subject
to such a lot complying with the provisions of the
respective zoning by-law. Accordingly, the proposal would
conform if the subject lot is created prior to July 14,
1976.

REPORT NO. : PD-116-84 Page 3
We note also that the proposal represents an increase in
residential usage of the property. The payment of Regional
levies will therefore be required in accordance with
Regional Council 's development charge policies. We
respectfully request that the payment of Regional levies be
included as a condition of approval of the subject
application.
The other agencies circulated provided no objection to the
proposed rezoning.
COMMENT:
Staff note that the subject property is currently owned by
the owners of Curvply Wood Products. The proposed rezoning
would bring the zoning of the property into conformity with
its designation in the Durham Regional Official Plan.
The subject parcel is zoned "Agricultural " in the draft
Comprehensive Zoning By-law which was given first reading by
Council on May 14, 1984.
The current industrial zoning on the property permits a
single family dwelling in conjunction with the permitted
industrial use. The zone change to "Agricultural " would
also permit the construction of a single family dwelling
on the property. Therefore, the rezoning does not , in our
opinion, represent an increase in the residential usage of
the property. The payment of Town lot levies will therefore
not be required. The Region has requested that the payment
of Regional levies be included as a condition of approval of
the subject application. However, in view of the fact that
a residential use is presently permitted, albeit in
conjunction with an industrial use, we do not feel it is an
appropriate condition of rezoning and have not included
same.

REPORT NO. : PD-116-84 Page 4
Staff note that the intent of the applicant is to build a
single family home on the property. By-law 1592, as
amended, of the former Township of Clarke currently requires
a parcel of land in the agricultural zone with a dwelling to
have a minimum frontage of 100.6 metres (330 feet) and a
minimum area of 16.2 hectares (40.0 acres). However, the
subject parcel was created prior to the adoption of the
Clarke Zoning By-law in May, 1968 and therefore would be
exempt from these frontage and area requirements. A single
family dwelling is also permitted on the lot under the
provisions of the Durham Regional Official Plan.
It is therefore recommended that rezoning application 84-14
to rezone the subject property to "Agricultural " be
approved. It is further recommended that the attached
by-law not be forwarded to Council for approval until such
time as the required road widening across the frontage of
the property has been deeded to the Town.
Respectfully submttted,
