REPORT NO. : PD-111-85 Page 2
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
On July 2, 1985, the General Purpose and Administration Committee
considered staff report PD-104-85 in respect of the proposed
amendments to the Darlington, Bowmanville and Newcastle Village
Official Plans. Similarily on that date a public meeting was held
to afford the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed
amendments; no persons were present in support or opposition to 'the
proposed amendments.
As a result of -the staff review and circulation, a number of
modifications to the proposed Official Plan amendments have been
incorporated and can be briefly summarized as follows :
1 ) Inclusion of additional references to authority provided by
the Planning Act;
2) Clarification of the intent of various sections and changes in
the order of certain sections;
3) Minor wording changes and deletions ;
4) Adjustments to list of roads and deletions of references to
roads not within the jurisdiction of the Town of Newcastle.
Those sections affected, are identified by an asterisk in the
margin opposite those sections and can be compared to the original
draft of the amendments as contained in staff report PD-83-85.
Copies of the detailed comments received as a result of the
circulation are available from the Planning Department.
Staff would also note that as part of our review, the proposed
amendments were circulated to the Town Solicitor. His comments
indicated a need for an abundance of caution relative to notices
and public meetings. Based upon his comments, we are suggesting
that a specific resolution be forwarded to the Region to outline
the form of notice desired by the Town and to request that the
Region hold a further public meeting at a location within the
Town.

Newcastle, in the Regional Municipality of Durham, which Official
Plan was approved by the, then, Minister of Municipal Affairs, on
October 31 , 1960 are:
i ) to expand the scope of the Official Plan of the former
Township of Darlington to encompass all lands within the
Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, which plan will then be
the Official Plan of the Town of Newcastle;
* ii ) to repeal certain sections presently contained in the
Official Plan of the former Township of Darlington which are
redundant or in conflict with the provisions of the Durham
Regional Official Plan;
* iii ) to incorporate policies related to hamlet development;
* iv) to incorporate policies related to such matters as Holding
Zones , Site Plan Control pursuant to the provisions of the
Planning Act 1983.
2. LOCATION OF LANDS AFFECTED BY AMENDMENT NO.21
Amendment No. 21 applies to all lands within the Corporation of
the Town of Newcastle.
3. BASIS OF AMENDMENT NO.21
January 1 , 1974 the Town of Newcastle was created as a result of
the legislated amalgamation of -the former Township of Darlington,
former Township of Clarke, the former Town of Bowmanville and the
former Village of Newcastle. The former Town of Bowmanville and
the former Township of Darlington both had Official Plans in
effect.
In June, 1976, the Regional Municipality of Durham adopted an
Official Plan which was approved in part by the Minister on March
17, 1978 and June 16, 1978, and finally by the Ontario Municipal
* Board on January 14, 1980. Following the approval of the Durham
Regional Official Plan, there were three (3) Official Plans in
effect in the Town of Newcastle. Since that time the Official
Plan for the former Town of Bowmanville has been repealed and
replaced with the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Major Urban
* Area (April 7, 1983) , and -the Official Plan for the Newcastle
Village Minor Urban Area (April 13, 1983) has been approved.
Similarly, an Official Plan for the Courtice Major Urban Area was
approved and incorporated as Amendment No. 12 to 'the Darlington
Official Plan on June 6, 1980. Due to the date of adoption of the
Darlington Official Plan, there remains, to a certain extent,

prepared in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan
and shall be amended forthwith to conform with future
amendments to the Durham Regional Official Plan as they are
approved by the Minister. It is recognized however, that in
the future some time may elapse before this Official Plan can
be amended to fully conform to the Durham Regional Official

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this
Official Plan and the provisions of the Durham Regional
Official Plan, the provisions of the Durham Regional Official
Plan shall prevail to the extent of that conflict.

situations where the specific use of land has been determined
in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, but the
details of development remain outstanding. These may include
situations where plans of subdivision or development
proposals have been approved subject to conditions . The use
* of the symbol "H" in such circumstances will serve to achieve
orderlv or phased development, and to ensure that matters
* such as servicing, roads , _design, and any other requirements

tile fields.
If, after conducting the above investigation, evidence
satisfactory to the Town of Newcastle and the Durham Region
Health Unit has been produced which indicates that a
reduction in the minimum lot area requirement is warranted,
Council may approve such a reduction only so far as the
minimum lot size is not reduced to below 0.3 hectares. Upon
receiving such approval , the applicant may submit a proposal
based upon this reduction to the maximum number of lots which
would be permitted by this reduction , but not to exceed the
number of lots permitted within a designated area. An
amendment to the Hamlet Development Plan shall be required in
order to adjust the maximum number of lots permitted.
iii ) In accordance with Section 10.4.2.6 of the Durham Regional
Official Plan, the Town of Newcastle shall co-operate with

by the Restricted Area Zoning By-law.
