RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-216-88 be received; and
2. THAT the application to amend the Durham Regional Official Plan submitted by
Mr. J. Stoop and Mr. G. Gerrits to permit two (2) non-farm residential lots
be approved as infilling within a rural Residential Cluster to be

forwarded to Council for adoption at such time as the Official Plan
Amendment application is approved by the Region; and
4. THAT the applicants and the Region of Durham Planning Department be so
advised.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On July 18, 1988, Committee considered Staff Report PD-153-88 in

of the Durham Regional Official Plan to permit the creation of two (2)
non-farm residential lots.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2 Committee had resoloved to refer the application back to Staff for
further discussion with the applicants. In addition, Staff was
directed to review the Node and Cluster policies, and in accordance
with this direction, Report PD-174-88 was forwarded to Committee on
September 6, 1988 at which time, the Committee rescinded the Town's
Rural Cluster policies and that the Region's criteria for identifying
Nodes and Clusters be used until such time new policies are developed
by Town Staff.
2. COMMENTS
2.1 Accordingly, Staff have reviewed the application with regards to the
criteria used in the Regional Official Plan. The criteria are that a
Cluster or Node must be definable as a separate entity so as not to be
considered as strip or scattered development, the existing group of
dwellings must be on relatively small lots and new Clusters may not be
located on Provincial Highways or Type "All Arterial Roads. Finally,
the development within the Cluster must be compatible with surrounding
uses and conforms with the Agriculture Code of Practice.
2.2 Staff have reviewed the criteria with respect to the characteristics
of the area and is satisfied that there is an identifiable Cluster in
the area as per the requirements in the Durham Regional official Plan.
In that regard, Staff have prepared a schedule indicating the area to
be defined as a separate entity. (see attached sketch)
3. RECOMMENDATION
Given the above, Staff is recommending that the Official Plan
Amendment application be approved and the implementing zoning by-law
will be forwarded to Council for approval once the Official Plan
amendment receives approval from the Region.
