BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On December 9, 1985, the Planning Department received an application submitted by Rev. B. Reilly, agent on behalf of Son Rise Christian Ministeries to rezone a parcel of land located in Part of Lot 13, Concession 2, former Town of Bowmanville. The submission of the rezoning application was to permit the development of an Assembly Hall as defined within By-law 84-63. Staff would note for the Committee's information that the definition of an Assembly Hall, within By-law 84-63, reads as follows: . . .2 REPORT NO. : PD-62-86 Page 2 . . . .shall mean a building or part of a building, in which facilities are provided for such purposes as meetings for civic, educational, political, religious or social purposes and may include a banquet hall, private club or fraternal organization.. ." Within the Region of Durham Official Plan the subject property is located within the "Residential" designation. Certain recreational and community uses may be permitted in residential areas subject to the inclusion of appropriate requirements in the Zoning By-law. In addition, Section 6.2.6 of the Durham Regional Plan states that " . . .notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, to the contrary, Council of the respective area municipality may recognize in the restricted area zoning by-law, cultural i facilities, such as cultural centres, libraries, museums and places of worship in any area, having first been satisfied that the proposed facility i is complatible with its surroundings" . Staff would note for the Committee's information that pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act , the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands. Staff would furthermore note that no objections to the proposal were received at the writing of this report with respect to the amendment requested. In accordance with departmental procedures the a pp lication was circulated to � obtain comments from other departments and agencies as noted within Staff Report PD-11-86. The following would summarize the comments as received. Town of Newcastle Buildin g Department artment j - See Staff Comments - Town of Newcastle Works Department "We have reviewed the above-noted rezoning application and find that we have no objection to this proposal as submitted." I . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-62-86 Page 3 Town of Newcastle Fire Department "The Fire Department has no objection to the above-headed application. If this rezoning is to be granted it will fall under the Retrofit Part 9 of the Ontario Fire Code, which covers all assembly occupancies. The building in question at 182 Wellington Street, Bowmanville, will have to conform to all the regulations in this Part. With this type of occupancy there is no overnight accommodation to be allowed. If in future a youth hostel is to be considered, additional Fire Code Regulations will apply to this occupancy. The only concern that this Department woul have, is to the adjacent industry within the building, which manufactures a product containing P.V.C. (poly vinyl chloride) . If this product becomes involved in fire, precautions are required because of the toxic by-products formed" . Town of Newcastle Community Services j "In reference to the above application, our department has no objection to the proposed amendment to Zoning By-law 84-63" . i Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority "Authority staff have reviewed the above application and offer the following comments for your consideration. I The entire site is subject to Ontario Regulation 161/80 . That portion below an elevation of 334.4 C.G.D. is within the Regional Storm floodplain of Bowmanville Creek. Authority approval is required prior to commencement of any filling or grading activities on the property and prior to construction in the floodprone portion. The property directly adjacent to the creek consists of a very steep, tree covered, coincident valley wall rising 45 feet to the tableland. The slope is heavily vegetated and presently appears stable. However, erosion hazards can develop as a consequence of disturbance to the vegetative cover or in a flooding event . The tableland has previously been developed for industrial purposes and offers areas that should be of sufficient size to accommodate the applicant's proposal. The Authority has no objection to the proposed rezoning providing that it only includes the tableland and that the area from the top of bank (365' elevation C.G.D.) to the western property boundary be designated in an Environmental Protection zoning" . I . . .4 I REPORT NO. : PD-62-86 Page 4 Ministry of Natural Resources "Ministry staff have reviewed this rezoning application. We have no objections to this proposal, however, we do have the following comments: An "Environmental Protection" zone encompassing Mill Pond and Bowmanville Creek is located west of the property under application. This watercourse system is important in providing coldwater habitat for trout and is sensitive to water quality degradation. Therefore, we recommend that the proposed recreational/cultural centre be located above the top of bank. We request this in order that the vegetation which now stablilizes the slope from erosive factors be maintained and, thereby, continue to protect this watercourse system from sedimentation". Region of Durham Planning Department i) "Further to your request for comments, we note that the subject property is designated "Residential" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Certain recreational and community uses may be permitted in Residential Areas subject to the inclusion of appropriate requirements in the zoning by-law. In addition, Section 6.2.6 of the Durham Regional Official Plan states that: "Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan to the contrary, Council of the respective area municipality may recognize in the restricted area zoning by-law, . . . .cultural facilities such as cultural centres, libraries, museums and places of worship in any area, having first been satisfied that the proposed facility is compatible with its surroundings. In determining land use compatibility, the Council of the respective area municipality shall have due regard fror the provisions of this plan as they apply to the land use designation for the area in which the facility is to be located. In particular, facilities which would unduly restrict or conflict with the predominant permitted land use shall not be encouraged." Accordingly, the proposed recreational/cultural centre may be permitted in accordance with the above requirements of Section 6.2.6 . In the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area, the subject property is designated "Industrial" . However, it would appear that the provisions of Section 6.2.6 of the Durham Regional Official Plan shall prevail. We will provide you with further comments on Regional services when our investigation is completed" . . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD-62-86 Page 5 Region of Durham Planning Department (Cont'd) ii) "Further to our letter dated January 23, 1986, we wish to add the following comments on Regional services: Municipal water supply and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property and the proposed assembly hall would not result in a significant increase of sewage flow. We note that the Region will require sanitary sewer easements for abutting proposed residential development which is the subject of consent applications LD 50/86 and LD 51/86" . STAFF COMMENTS: Staff would note for the Committee's information that within the context of an "assembly hall", the applicant , within the application form, indicated i that the request was to permit a recreational/cultural centre featuring public gatherings (concerts, informational meetings , recreation - games, I music, related "coffee house" setting) supervised youth programs in the areas of sports, music, drama, dance, etc. , skill building programs, employment training and counselling. Furthermore, the proposal was to occupy a portion of the existing industrial building on the subject lands . * As can be noted on the attached floor plan, the majority of the floor area i is presently used for industrial - warehouse storage facilities . As noted within the comments of the Fire Department, concern was raised with respect to the adjacent industry (ALVAC Limited) within the building, which manufactures a product containing PVC (poly vinyl chloride) . It was noted that if this product becomes involved in fire, precautions are required because of the toxic by products formed. The Building Department advises that, in consideration of the nature of this industrial use, ALVAC Limited would be classified as a "Fl Occupancy" within the terms and regulations of the Ontario Building Code. The proposed change in occupancy of the adjacent portions of the building, to permit an "Assembly Hall", would require confirmation that a fire wall (of non-combustible material) with a four (4) . . .6 REPORT NO. : PD-62-86 Page 6 hour fire separation rating, physically separates the two uses . Accordingly, Staff would recommend that the Town secure such confirmation as to the compliance with the terms and regulations of the Ontario Building Code pursuant to a change in occupancy and other comments received through execution of a Development Agreement. It is noted that Staff's request for further clarification is not intended to adversely prohibit/restrict the Assembly Hall, but rather to ensure that the necessary precautions are taken to comply with applicable provincial statutes and regulations . rRespectfull ubmitted, 6 T.T.
