This report be received for information, including an update on: I' a. Progress related to the integration of climate adaptation planning into annual corporate risk management, asset management and financial planning processes. b. Corporate climate adaptation plan initiatives implemented or underway based on the approved Corporate Adaptation Plan (2013-2017) and 2014 and 2015 approved Business Plans and Budgets; c. Adaptation objectives and planned strategic investments included within ' the 2016 to 2024 capital forecast, and subject to reviewand future approvals through the annual Business Planning Cycle; and, d. Climate mitigation energy efficiency and demand side management initiatives, renewables implementation and other initiatives to-reduce energy and fuel usage and GHG emissions. 2. This report be forwarded for information to the Region's eight local area municipalities and the Durham Region Roundtable on Climate Change and posted publicly on the,Region's web site. 9-3 R L Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 2 REPORT: 1>0 BACKGROUND This climate change update report provides information on climate adaptation (climate risk mitigation) and climate mitigation (greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction) initiatives across Regional program areas. Previous corporate climate change updates highlighted climate mitigation (GHG emission reduction) initiatives across Regional program areas. Current mitigation priorities are focused on reducing energy usage and are highlighted within the Region's first five-year Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) Plan approved by Regional Council in June 2014 (Report 2014-J-17). The CDM Plan includes consolidated energy usage and GHG emissions data, outlines previous, current and proposed means for conserving energy, and outlines go-forward corporate goals and objectives related to energy management, including anticipated savings. The development and preparation of the Region's CDM Plan was steered by an Energy Management Working Group comprised of Works and Finance staff, who are also members of the Energy Advisory Sub-committee of the Corporate Climate Change Staff Working Group. CDM Plan goals and objectives are based on strategic workshops and consultations held with senior management and front-line staff across operational areas during 2013/2014 and will be implemented through Business Planning processes and approvals. While the corporate climate mitigation program will be more fully updated in the fall of 2015, along with the 2007 to 2014 corporate carbon footprint update and (2015 to 2019) carbon forecast, a brief update of current initiatives is provided herein as Attachment #1. The sections of this report following will highlight updated climate adaptation (risk mitigation) priorities, including costing information related to approved program increases and new capital funding since the Corporate Adaptation Plan (2013-2017) was approved in January 2014 (Report 2014-J-1). Adaptation cost projections are also provided for the forecast period, based upon the capital forecast to 2024, with future years' initiatives subject to Council approval as required. Additional documentation and detail can be found in the following Regional reports, which reflect considerable climate adaptation work underway corporately and will again be updated as part of the 2016 Business Planning Cycle: ® The Corporate Adaptation Plan (2013 to 2017); Individual program annual Business Plans and Budgets; ® The annual Economic and Financial Forecast and Budget Guidelines Report; -The annual Asset Management Plan; and, Annual Servicing and Financing Studies for major program areas, including Durham Region Transit, Solid Waste Management, Transportation, Water Supply, Sanitary Sewerage and Housing. 9-4 _ 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update 17 i' i Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 3 In consultation with senior management, the multidisciplinary Corporate Climate Change Staff Working Group, its Sub-Committee on Adaptation, and the current j Corporate Asset Management and Risk Management working groups conduct key work to ensure climate vulnerability and risk assessments are advanced and considered for prioritization as part of the development of individual business and financial plans. Work includes: • Review and assessment of new and available research and analysis of anticipated local climate change projections and impacts; ® Vulnerability and risk reviews and updates conducted through Regional staff workshops across program areas to consider potential operational and infrastructure risks and potential business continuity impacts; Support to individual program areas considering and reporting on adaptation as part of annual business plans, joint servicing and financing and planning studies; and,' f. ® Consolidation of adaptation-related performance measures and benchmarks developed-by individual program areas or through external`benchmarking partnerships, to monitor and review ongoing progress and improvements. ! 2.0 CORPORATE CLIMATE ADAPTATION UPDATE The Region addresses a range of environment-related risks during the regular course of doing business to ensure sustainable and environmentally-sensitive service delivery and j stringent regulatory compliance. Progress can also be reported as staff continue to formalize annual consideration of climate adaptation and resiliency as a component of the annual business and asset management process and reporting structure. This will facilitate and assist in: • Selecting projects with the greatest benefits in terms of technical, financial and environmental considerations; • Ensuring continuous improvements to corporate climate resiliency, including both E: operational and infrastructure considerations; ® Coordinating and communicating adaptation-related initiatives to Regional Council and the public; and, ® Ensuring the continuous monitoring and review of potential vulnerabilities related to Regional infrastructure and service delivery due to future climate changes. Additional climate research has been utilized by Regional staff in the. reconsideration of implications for Regional service delivery and infrastructure objectives, as part of j subsequent annual corporate adaptation planning since the 2013 Corporate Adaptation Plan was approved. A study completed by SENES Consultants 1 for the Adaptation j Sub-committee of the Durham Region Roundtable on Climate Change, a key input to the creation of the broader Community Climate Adaptation Plan, was provided to staff to consider localized climate projections for each of the Region's eight area municipalities. This study, along with other publicly available information provided through senior 1"Dbrham Region's Future Climate(2040-2049)volumes 1 and 2,"prepared for the Durham Region Roundtable on Climate Change by SENES Consultants, December 2013. 9-5 .- Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 4 government and other relevant agencies, were considered as part of both 2014 and 2015 Business Planning and Asset Management planning processes. A brief description of this study is provided within Attachment#2, as well as the Executive Summary from the SENES Report included as Attachment#3. . The integration of climate adaptation into business and financial management, risk and asset management processes, which are already multi-disciplinary annual processes, enable coordinated operational, technical and financing strategies which enhance adaptation implementation success and performance measurement. Sustainability is a central component of Durham's best-practice decision-making, . reporting and approvals processes. Within the business planning framework, climate adaptation costs, benefits, and risks are considered annually, and monitored and, reported within the broader long-term planning and management process. Limited - resources must continue to be carefully balanced, including the maintenance, rehabilitation and the replacement of existing infrastructure assets,while addressing compliance requirements and maintaining standards of service delivery to a growing population. Annual investments will continue to be made in areas deemed most critical, including consideration of vulnerabilities and risks, of which climate risk is a component. As Durham moves forward, established business practices provide a strong-foundation to support implementation of the most cost effective and value-added corporate sustainability strategies over the forecast period and beyond, including the balance of social, environmental, technical, financial, economic, operational and regulatory considerations. Adaptation initiatives will continue to be prioritized within the Region's long-term planning outlook, based on Durham's already recognized business management approach, a foundation of the Region's long-standing Triple A credit rating. 3.0 Corporate Climate.Adaptation: Increasing the Resiliency of the Regional Corporation The Region's Business Plans include what are deemed to be the most credible, aggressive and economically viable options to adapt to climate change. A number of plans, improvements, capacity expansions and infrastructure initiatives, since the Corporate Adaptation Plan was approved, will further enhance the Region's capacity to adapt to climate changes. New investments include base and operational program changes, as well as significant new monies invested in resiliency capital in 2014 and 2015. Attachment#4 provides a summary of corporate investments approved through the 2014 and 2015 Business Plans and'Budgets, based on months of review, assessment and analysis undertaken during the Region's annual Business Planning Cycle. The process involved in-depth reviews conducted within individual program areas as well as subsequent coordinated annual reviews and additional analyses through multi- disciplinary corporate business, risk and asset management planning processes and 9-6 2015 Corporate Climate Change-Update .19 4' 1 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 5 joint studies. The process culminates each year in the reports, refinements and approvals granted through Standing and Joint Committees and Regional Council. As summarized in Attachment#4, new operational and capital spending which Will directly enhance the Region's resilience or adaptive capacity exceeds $143.million, compared to an estimated $164 million approved in 2014. The Attachment#4 summary excludes capital specifically employed to address population growth and related service demands, and is meant instead to provide a best estimate of costs related to addressing the climate-related adaptation risks identified herein. Understanding that Regional programs and assets often serve multiple objectives and priorities, an attempt was made to assess and identify specific adaptation-related components of the Region's business plans and budgets, based upon the planning process undertaken by Regional staff. Adaptation-related operations, maintenance and capital plans included within the 2016 through 2024 forecast and also summarized in Attachment#4, will continue to be ` refined throughout the 2016 annual Business Planning and Budget process, commencing with refinements through the upcoming 2015 Asset Management Plan. The 2015 Asset Management Plan; scheduled for presentation to Regional Council during the fall of 2015, will highlight preferred 2016 and 2017 to 2025 asset . j management strategies for further study through joint servicing and financing studies. r Regional staff are also implementing measures, based upon 2015 budget approvals to further expand asset management planning to consider and address risk more comprehensively in the planning and optimization of Regional asset life-cycles. The 2015 approved Water Supply and Sanitary Sewerage Capital Budgets include a total $2.7 million for asset condition assessments. The 2015 Facilities' program operations budget also includes $0.2 million to enhance condition assessments conducted annually at Regional facilities. Full condition assessments, which provide information and data on each component of a facility, are essential to establishing more up-to-date, consistent and accurate baseline data sets for each Regional facility's condition, replacement value, risk profile, and life-cycle requirements/timing for repairs, rehabilitations, and r replacements. 1 These processes and resulting assessments will facilitate corporate wide decision making activities related to work prioritization and capital financial planning including considerations to address asset risks, including climate. They will also allow furtherance of risk management strategies and assessment criteria, facilitating more refined'risk ratings to Regional assets and their specific components over time. r Current overall infrastructure asset condition ratings maintain some variance in methodology and are based on information from a variety of sources, including detailed j technical assessments, higher-level assessments, and operational and design staff consultation and feedback. The accuracy and consistency of asset condition and risk ratings can be expected to further improve, as additional detailed asset/building condition assessments are completed. h L 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update 9-7 20 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 6 In addition to funding levels noted within Attachment#4, the following sections provide further details on select adaptation initiatives which ensure. risk considerations related to: • Infiltration into the sanitary sewer collection system; • Potential for erosion and flooding; • Protection of water quantity and quality; • Monitoring and.mitigation of higher maintenance operations and rehabilitation requirements, de-icing, snow removal, erosion mitigation and drainage, dust treatments and vegetation control; • Ensuring environmental and groundwater protection at Regional landfill sites; • Ensuring climate change considerations within municipal planning and development approvals; • Emergency prevention and preparedness; and, • An increase in the frequency, duration, and severity of extreme heat events. 3.1 - Reduce the infiltration of groundwater or stormwater into the sanitary sewer collection system to mitigate flooding, inflow and infiltration risk Localized and intense rainfall activity has resulted in stormwater entering and overloading the sanitary collection system, putting a burden on the Region's sanitary sewer infrastructure and treatment facilities. The Region has taken steps to reduce inflow and infiltration (1/1) through the assessment of existing systems; gathering detailed information.on the sanitary sewer system and understanding the performance of the sanitary sewer system under extreme storm events. The 2015 Sanitary Sewerage Capital Budget includes $300,000 to conduct 1/1 studies, in various locations throughout the Region and the 9-year capital forecast (2016-2024) proposes to include $500,000 as an annual amount to ensure a continued understanding of where the Regional sanitary sewerage system may be at risk and to implement appropriate, plans to mitigate risks as part of the Region's overall long-term asset management strategy (a total of approximately $4.8 million over the 10-year period, subject to future annual assessments and approvals). The Region has also installed additional flow monitoring equipment to gather data on sanitary sewage flows and analyse rain events and tests being performed, including smoke testing, closed circuit television (CCTV) inspections and dye testing. Household drainage surveys have also been collected at Public Information Centres to gain information on affected systems, while educational information brochures have been provided to the public within affected service areas. There have been minor repairs to the system as well, including the installation of backflow gates in the diversion chambers at the sanitary sewage pumping stations and localized repair and sealing of pipe joints. Projects have been initiated in three areas of the Towns of Ajax and Whitby and the City of Pickering, including the following: Q 9 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update 21 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 7 ® Upgrades on Laurie Road in the Town of Ajax (2013) consisted of a relief sanitary sewer and the construction of a detention tank; ® Scheduled for completion in 2015, the system upgrades on Annes Street in the Town of.Whitby include replacing the existing sewer with a 600 millimeter (mm) sanitary sewer (completed) and the construction of a detention tank (under . construction); and, ® Infrastructure upgrades in the City of Pickering West Shore Neighbourhood are required to reduce the risk of basement flooding. Phase 1 of the project included the construction of the sanitary sewer in Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Park, between Sunrise Avenue and Beachpoint Promenade (2015). Phase 2 will involve completing sanitary sewers and road restoration work in coordination with the City of Pickering in 2016 and 2017 (the approved Regional project budget is $4.7.million). j 3.2 Erosion protection watermains and sanitary sewers at creek crossings i The Region has major sanitary sewer and water distribution infrastructure at water crossings across the Region. As river and creek beds erode and meander over time, infrastructure can be exposed and left unprotected, potentially resulting in failure. As previously reported, the Region continues to develop an engineering inventory that will create a prioritized database for both watermains and sanitary sewers, identifying required replacements or remedial maintenance activities on all critical sanitary sewer and water infrastructure currently at water crossings involving creek and river valleys. An enhanced inventory and condition assessment program is required to ensure the protection of infrastructure at water crossings. This program has synergies and co- benefits as well. Not only will it reduce water losses, it will also be of benefit in meeting !' anticipated future requirements under Source Protection Plans for drinking water. . i Databases are progressing, with.96 per cent of inspections completed for sanitary k` sewer and 15 per cent of inspections completed for water supply. The condition assessment program will continue with prioritization of remediation work managed through the asset management and business planning process. 3.3 Water loss prevention and conservation: The polybutylene water service connection replacement program and water meter replacement initiative i Polybutylene is a form of plastic resin that was used extensively by the development industry for water service connections throughout the 1980's. Numerous issues were identified with the polybutylene materials and its use was discontinued. Given the need to replace deficient polybutylene service water connections, in,2011 Regional Council approved a financing plan to replace an estimated 19,900 polybutylene water service connections over a 10-year period (2012-2021). 9-9 2015 Corporate Climate Change'Update .. Report No.: #2015-J-41 . Page No.: 8 An estimated $104 million in funding will be required over 2015 to 2021 (total 10-year spending estimated at$134.1 million) to complete this significant replacement initiative, as outlined in the 2015 Water Supply and Sanitary Sewerage Servicing and Financing Study. The 2015 Water Supply Capital Budget includes $13.5 million for the replacement of the deficient polybutylene connections. In.addition, the Region's water meter inventory for 2013 includes approximately 166,992 meters at a total replacement value of approximately.$28 million. The Region has established a water meter replacement program to replace residential-sized water meters every 20 years for the purposes of maintaining data accuracy, preventing under- billing and the potential loss of revenues, and assuring accuracy in support of water conservation efforts. The user rate supported 2014 and 2015 approved Water Supply Capital Budget included $6.2 million to implement the water meter replacement program. In terms of achieving water quantity and quality protection, it should be noted that climate mitigation- co-benefits also result, as reduced water losses and conservation success will also result in reduced energy costs and GHG emission reductions. 3.4 Facilities' Adaptation The Facilities Division has responsibilities which include: ® Operating, securing, maintaining, upgrading and repairing diverse Regional facilities with an estimated total area of over 230,000 square metres; • Condition audit and inspection programs to identify and prioritize work based upon system requirements, age, condition and risk; • Facility site activities including salting, snow removal, backflow prevention and energy management; and, • Facility design and construction, including consideration of climate adaptation as part of design development (e.g. energy and water efficiencies, green opportunities, stormwater management, erosion control and standby power management etc.). The Region's building standards ensure new facilities are built at a level comparable to or higher than Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification, through construction to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1 (2007) Energy Standard. On a case by case basis, staff also consider incorporation of components of ASHRAE 189.1 (2009) for the design of high performance green buildings. Recent construction projects, including the new Fairview Lodge Long-term Care Home in the Town of Whitby and the Durham Regional Police Complex in the Municipality of Clarington, as well as major site and system renovations (e.g.-Regional Headquarters and Hillsdale Estates Long-term Care Home) have incorporated significant features which.improve facility and site climate resiliency including: - a On-site stormwater management systems and controls; �- 15 Corporate Climate Change Update 2 %3 i Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 9 • Water recovery systems and water loss control plans; • Green irrigation systems and water efficiency fixture replacements; and, ® Building envelope and site improvements which mitigate erosion and/or flooding risk. 3.5 Reciiional Roads, Maintenance Operations and Transit In the area of transportation (Regional roads, Works Depots and Durham Region Transit) climate risk is addressed through: . i ® Maintenance of operational benchmarks; ® Employment of effective proactive maintenance, refurbishment and rehabilitation programs for roads and bridges/culverts, equipment, DRT facilities, bus stops, and transit shelters, as part of the comprehensive asset management program; • Proactive measures to keep roads, parking and DRT stops free of frost and ice; ® Priming shoulders with liquid asphalt to control dust/erosion issues and utilize asphalt grindings; • Utilization and-maintenance of state-of-the-art road weather information systems to monitor weather/pavement conditions (e.g. infrared road temperature sensors) and ensuring proper training to effectively utilize the technology and analyze results; and, • Adequate ditch and road maintenance to reduce deterioration and increase drainage. i Works Maintenance Operations is responsible for maintaining 2,151 lane kilometres of paved Regional road surfaces and 216 bridges and culverts greater than three metres in size. Activities and costs influenced by higher precipitation (e.g. shoulder erosion, storm sewers), freeze/thaw cycles (pavement heaving) summer drought (dust treatments), extreme storms (cleaning, clearing vegetation), and a longer growing season (increased vegetation) include: f ® Patching of potholes, ruts and depressions (approximately 4,000 tonnes of cold and hot mix asphalt per year); ® Treatment of road shoulders, including liquid calcium. chloride and liquid asphalt to control dust and erosion; ® Maintenance of roadside visibility and safety, including tree removal and trimming; ® Cleaning/re-grading of ditches,and*catch basins and cleaning of entrance culverts (on a cost-recovery basis); ® Mowing of rural roadside grass one swath wide (two per cuffing season) and mowing of 85 hectares of urban boulevards (12 times per cutting season); ® Repair of storm sewer maintenance holes, cleaning, installing and repair of storm sewer service connections within the road allowance and visual and closed circuit camera inspection of maintenance holes and sewers; and, j • Tracking and recovery for services provided for storm sewer connections. e Winter maintenance operating costs are influenced by: the frequency and severity of j winter storm events; the extent of the road network located in urban areas; and, the municipality's service level standard. I 9-11 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update 2 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 10 The Region has implemented innovative programs including road patrol vehicles equipped with infrared road temperature sensors and plow and sander/salter units, which provide rapid response to developing road conditions (since 2007). New technologies are also identified within the Region's Salt Management Plan, including use of liquid salt brine for pre-wetting-and anti-icing. The pre-wet salt application enables salt to work more efficiently. Anti-icing operations include hills; curves, bridges and sheltered areas prone to frost and "black ice" at intersections. 3.6 Solid Waste Management The Region's Solid Waste Management Division monitors, inspects, and remediates closed Regional landfill sites, including consultations with the public and ensuring environmental protection. Adaptation-related activities include: the inspection of former and active landfill sites; environmental monitoring and reporting; well water testing adjacent to all Regional landfill sites; and, undertaking repairs or improvements to protect groundwater resources and the environment. A key goal is to maintain water quality through the prevention of rainfall infiltration and the prevention of leachate springs around Regional landfills, a risk which could increase .with increased intense precipitation. The previously reported Brock and Oshawa Landfill remediation programs, totaling $5.7 million over 2013 and 2014 are now complete, including site contouring, cover technology, leachate control, and phyto-remediation. In 2015, the Solid Waste Management Capital Budget includes an additional $0.96 million, subject to further analysis, for the remediation or reclamation (landfill mining) of the Blackstock landfill in the Township of Scugog: The forecast also includes $2.8 million to remediate or reclaim the Scugog and Scott landfill sites (subject to future reviews and approvals). 3.7 Planning and Development Approvals The Durham Regional Official Plan is the principal planning instrument to guide the Region's growth and development to 2031. Official Plan policies also promote a more sustainable community design, providing for more compact communities with increased densities, and a more efficient use of the transportation network. Key elements of the Official Plan that will assist the Region in adapting to changes in climate include: . ® An urban system with mixed-use centres and corridors that support transit use and pedestrian movements; ® Prime agricultural areas which help community food security; ® A transportation system that is efficient and reliable and supports all modes, including transit and active transportation; and, A green land.system that protects the area's highest concentration of significant ecological and hydrological features and functions. 9-1 15 Corporate Climate Change Update 25 b I Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 11 r The Official Plan protects ground and surface water resources through wellhead protection, high aquifer vulnerability, and stormwater management policies. Policies regarding development restrictions in natural hazard areas also help to protect people and property from damage caused by flooding, as do programs funded annually through the Region's five Conservation Authorities as noted in Attachment#4. r The Durham Regional Official Plan requires Environmental Impact Studies (EIS), as part of the evaluation of development proposals that are in proximity to lands designated as a key natural heritage feature or key hydrologic feature. The EIS must evaluate adverse potential impacts and establish appropriate actions to mitigate those impacts. The scope and process for a particular EIS will depend on the nature of the proposed development, its location, and the sensitivity of the site's environmental conditions. EIS reports and other forms of environmental review may consider the impacts of climate change, trends, as well as specific localized risk factors. 3.3 Durham-Re ion Heat Alert and Response System As a result of climate change, Durham Region can expect an increase in the frequency, duration, and severity of extreme heat events. During extreme heat events there is an increase in heat-related morbidity and mortality. For the T02015 Pan Am / Parapan Am Games and through to September 30, 2015, the Health Department will be participating t in a pilot `Harmonized Heat Alert and Response System' with Environment Canada and nine public health units in the Pan Am Games footprint. As a participant-of the pilot the Health Department will be implementing a new Durham Region heat alert and response system (DRHARS). The key elements of this initiative are to: a Communicate heat warnings to local municipalities, community partners and theI 4 public; a Raise awareness about heat-related illness; a Promote protective actions to take before and during a heat event; and, a Identify, engage and support community partners who work with vulnerable populations that are at increased risk from heat and heat related illnesses., The development and implementation of DRHARS is a key adaptation step to increase resiliency among residents of Durham Region, build capacity among community partners and reduce excess morbidity and mortality related to heat in Durham Region. 3.9 Emergency Prevention and Preparedness Durham Emergency Management maintains a strong community program to prepare for and respond to natural and/or human caused emergencies including: a An effective and up-to-date emergency response structure; �. • Coordinated emergency plans and procedures; • f Regular tests of communications and alerting systems; • Annual Regional Control Group response training; 9-13 . 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 12 0 An on-call Duty Officer on a 24/7 basis; 0 A designated Emergency Information Officer; ® Emergency notifications to Regional staff; 0 Operation of the Regional Emergency Operations Centre; 0 Public education materials to promote preparedness; ® Up-dated emergency contact lists and databases; 0 Courses for Regional employees; and, ® An annual Emergency Operations Centre exercise. Regional programs together or individually are also involved in emergency planning and management including the following initiatives: ® Ensuring reliable back-up power for critical facilities and systems; • Contingency and business continuity planning; • Regional policies and procedures for extreme weather events; • The Pandemic Plan detailing actions and resources required to maintain operations and essential services; • The Contingency Plan detailing departmental responsibilities for services to be maintained in the event of work stoppage; and, • Individual Departmental or program emergency planning documents and the broader Emergency Master Plan prepared for the Region by DEMO, prescribing the emergency organization and response management framework. 3.10 'Multi-year Planning The projection for the construction of adaptation-related municipal services over the 2016 to 2024 forecast period as noted within Attachment#4 includes priority adaptation actions to: 0 Replace deficient linear infrastructure to reduce the infiltration of groundwater or stormwater into the sanitary sewer collection system; 0 Twinning, looping and expansion of linear water and sewer infrastructure, including new water supply and sanitary sewerage system capacity to enhance system security and address deficiencies; ® Inflow and infiltration studies, including remedial works; a• Asset condition assessments, planning and engineering studies; o Treatment process improvements at water pollution control plants (WPCPs) to improve effluent quality; New standby power and replacements and improved alerts, response, communication and control; and, Preventative maintenance and rehabilitation investments. While a total of approximately $854 million of investments are identified over the nine year capital forecast period. (2016 to 2024), which will increase the Region's infrastructure resiliency to climate change, it should be noted that both the magnitude and timing of these investments will be subject to future annual Business Planning and 9-14 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update 27 'r Report No.: 42015-J-41 Page No.: 13 Budget planning processes and approvals and will be further refined commencing with the 2016 business cycle. 4.0 CORPORATE CLIMATE ADAPTATION: VULNERABILITY AND RISK ASSESSMENTS The Region's approved vision for corporate adaptation is-as follows: "The Regional Municipality of Durham will become more adaptive to the changing climate by developing,.implementing and ensuring the ongoing monitoring of an effective and forward looking Corporate Adaptation Plan. The Region will,enhance its ability to moderate potential damages, take advantage of opportunities, and enhance its ability to cope with the j consequences of climate changes through the integration of adaptation considerations into annual corporate risk management, asset management and business planning processes." Future climate changes can impact programs and capital assets across the organization in different ways, while the solutions for climate risk mitigation and potential co-benefits j from related climate mitigation programs, can benefit multiple program areas at onFe. The Region's-multi-disciplinary and coordinated approach, employed through each of the enterprise risk management, asset management, corporate climate change working groups, and joint studies, is beneficial and has led to significant progress in addressing r the important issue of ensuring the climate resiliency of the Regional Corporation. As part of the annual business planning process, staff from across the organization, (including the Climate Change Staff Working Group, Risk and Asset Management Teams, Joint Servicing and Financing Study teams and Regional staff from across program areas involved in the consultations.and development of individual program business plans and budgets) consider the Region's corporate vulnerability by assessing i whether: 0 Programs are susceptible to or unable to cope with the potential effects of projected climate changes; 0 Climate changes will affect the ability of program areas to-function normally; 0 Programs are equipped to manage impacts; 0 Programs are exposed to risk and to what extent,.including assessments of likelihood and consequence; Service areas are already subject to existing stress; 1 Climate change will further constrain limited resources; and, 4' 0 There are identifiable thresholds associated with a service area's ability to cope. I 9-15 15 Corporate Climate Change Update 2 8 20 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 14 To answer these questions adequately, an understanding of the corporation's current "resiliency state" or existing adaptive capacity is required to accurately measure any vulnerability gaps and determine how and over what time period to address them. Since 2010, Regional staff has conducted several workshops and has given consideration to over 100 identified potential climate impacts, with 60 subsequently becoming part of a more formalized vulnerability review, and 26 of those being included within detailed risk assessments. Refinements are made each year and workshops to be held throughout the summer of 2015 will in turn inform the 2016 Business Planning process, including consideration by multidisciplinary teams and individual program areas during the development of individual business plans. The following table provides updated corporate climate adaptation risk impact statements, which highlight priority climate risks identified through Regional staff vulnerability and risk assessments conducted in 2014. Also included are corresponding goals meant to address these identified climate risks. More specific objectives and . strategic actions which support each goal are also highlighted in subsequent sections of this report. While priority risks identified are considered medium rather than high risks, based upon the analysis of corporate vulnerability, existing corporate controls and adaptive capacity, consequence and likelihood; risk management is,acontinuous process-and these and other potential risks are re-assessed as required to ensure the potential for escalation is both controlled and addressed. Recognizing the importance of measuring the success of adaptation initiatives, Regional staff also review performance measures and available data as part of Business and Asset Management Planning. The Region's long-standing commitment to performance measurement, including adaptation related measures, assists in the ongoing monitoring of risk. These include individual program performance benchmarks included in-Business Plans, as well as collaborative performance measures.conducted through the National Water and Wastewater Benchmarking Initiative, the Ontario Municipal Benchmarking initiative and Municipal Performance Measurement Program. Many of-these performance measures are also highlighted within the approved Adaptation Plan 2013 to 2017. 9— 15 Corporate Climate Change Update 29 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 15 Corporate Climate Adaptation Risk impact Statements and Goals - .��_��.._�--_.�:.�� �_ _ ��„,::. 3. _ ''�rsU.,i-Z" _nt✓a= -rs. _.....Qr�^,.-�- df:E�, t G E�� 05..' >sa ` i;"_> _ - r.�z-R,�u]�b (.jl---f y� 1. r..a-.2=-'-r= r:t—.�_:T -`._n—: -. `r -,___..�. _ - T 1.

Connections continue to be made at all staff levels, and,process integrations are enhancing awareness of environmental and sustainability objectives which will assist in making behavioural changes within the organization. Furthermore, many linkages have been established across staff working groups and joint studies at the senior staff and management level, which assist greatly in achieving coordination and efficiency across the organization in meeting sustainability objectives. The integration of climate adaptation into business and financial management, risk-and asset management processes, which are already multi-disciplinary annual processes, enable coordinated operational, technical and financing strategies which enhance implementation and performance measurement success. The asset management planning process next steps include: furthering the establishment of a risk-related asset database within all asset classes; enhancing useful life reviews and life-cycle costing abilities; and, advancing-asset management data in support of improved long-term strategy development and business continuity planning. The asset management planning process will continue to be key to implementation of forward-looking corporate adaptation policies and programs for the operation and maintenance of assets, capital rehabilitations, and the long-term planning of new and replacement infrastructure. A significant next step will be to further risk-related asset databases for each asset class, in order to enhance: maintenance strategies; monitoring of risk; useful life reviews; and, life-cycle costing. The Region's coordinated corporate approach will assist in advancing risk and cost related asset management data, including climate related, in support of long-term strategy development, business continuity and risk management planning. .9-2A015 Corporate Climate Change Update 33 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 19 This report has been prepared through the multi-disciplinary efforts of Regional staff of the Works, Planning and Economic Development, Health, Social Services and Finance Departments as well as the CAO's Office, Durham Region Transit and Durham Regional Police Service, in consultation with individual Department Heads who concur , with the recommendations. i R.J, Clapp, CPA, CA Commissioner of Finance Recommended for Presentation to Committee, Y G.H.

The goals of the Region's approved CDM Plan (2015 to 2019) are to: • Enhance corporate energy awareness, communications; engagement and information sharing, including educational opportunities for staff to foster a "culture of conservation;" ® Investigate existing standards and potential for new energy-related standards to ensure an effective and-consistent approach to operations, maintenance, asset management and procurement; ® Continue to enhance energy related performance measurement, to better understand energy usage variations and incorporate specific performance measures into individual business planning and budget documentation; • Further integrate energy conservation into existing business planning and asset management analysis, including strategic assessments of specific corporate options for 2015 to 2024 Business Planning and the leveraging of external grant funding opportunities; ® Develop a.corporate-wide five-year lighting retrofit strategy for consideration, including Works and Finance staff consolidation of the existing lighting inventory, options analysis, business case analysis and comprehensive reporting through Joint Committee, of a comprehensive technically and financially feasible plan, including recommendations and timelines for Council approval; and, • Complete a retrospective assessment of the approved 2014/15 Embedded Energy Manager program, and provide future recommendations to Regional Council regarding potential implementation of similar programs across other Regional facilities and program areas. The CDM Plan vision is to attain continuous improvement in energy conservation and awareness across Regional operational areas, while ensuring that energy conservation remains a primary focus in the Region's culture and decision making, reporting and approvals processes. While action items related to each of these goals continue at various stages of development, evaluation and implementation; energy efficiency remains a primary focus for the Region as exhibited by recent successes and planned initiatives as.described in the following sections. 9-22 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update 35 I Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 21 on Electricity and Natural Gas Programs and Incentives �e2 Capitalizing V � As detailed in Report#2013-F-25 and #2013=F-84, numerous energy conservation programs and incentives are offered through electricity and natural gas local distribution companies (LDCs). These programs and incentives provide end-use customers with I incentives and technical assistance to assist with managing energy costs and consumption and implementation of energy conservation measures. Electricity programs are currently offered under the saveMenergy branding with funding from the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and are delivered by electricity LDCs. Enbridge Gas Distribution provides natural gas specific programs. Currently available electricity and natural gas programs provide support and program incentives for various measures including, but not limited to: j • Funding for energy audits; • Technical support and resources to assist with identifying energy efficiency opportunities, project evaluation and measurement and verification of energy savings; • Energy efficient new building construction and major renovation projects; j • Equipment upgrades and retrofits which realize energy efficiency; • Support for building commissioning and/or re-commissioning; and, • Large-scale capital upgrades, energy management and monitoring. Under the Province's Long Term Energy Plan, conservation is a key aspect of the Province's long-term goals and infrastructure planning processes. Under the f Conservation First policy, LDCs will continue to be provided with committed funding for energy conservation programs. Regional Works and Finance staff continue to engage the Region's LDCs regarding the various program offerings and related incentives and where possible leverage LDC technical expertise and feedback as part of project evaluation and post-project measurement and verification. Energy conservation program incentives and resources are explored and evaluated for all of the Region's identified energy.conservation initiatives as they are brought forward at the earliest stages of project identification and I evaluation. While the final design and form for various energy conservation programs may still be unknown beyond 2015, program incentives, resources and technical expertise will continue to be offered to end—use customers, including the Region, for both electricity and natural gas to assist with the identification and implementation of energy conservation opportunities. Further, as part of this program development, through individual consultation, surveys and public consultative processes, Regional staff have provided feedback to its electricity and natural gas LDCs to further assist in program design. ' 9-23 2o1 cCorporate Climate Change Update 3 6 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 22 1.3 Other Corporate Climate Mitigation/Energy & Fuel Efficiency Initiatives Through the 2015 Business Planning and Budget Process, as in prior years,•the Region continues to make energy efficiency a priority, with inclusion of numerous initiatives which are approved and planned for 2015. The initiatives described herein do not cover the full range of initiatives (Le. various projects, such as facility structure and building envelope improvements, may contain elements of energy efficiency within its scope although not explicitly defined as conservation initiatives). Regardless, they provide a sample of projects budgeted and planned for 2015, projects currently underway and nearing completion and/or projects in the investigation stages which are being considered for more detailed assessment for future consideration. Fuel efficiencies continue to be pursued across all Regional fleets including Durham Regional Police service (DRPS), Durham Region Transit (DRT), Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Works. For EMS, all new ambulance vehicles feature an ECO idle reduction system to improve vehicle fuel consumption and reduce noise pollution and GHG emissions. DRPS fleets have achieved enhanced efficiencies through the introduction of four cylinder and hybrid vehicles into their.non-patrol fleet functions (represents 10 per cent of the fleet). DRPS has also installed inverter generators on Public Order and Forensic Identification Scene vehicles that allow for battery usage to power lighting and other operations to offset diesel generator requirements. DRT's fuel efficiency gains are reflected within the 2015 Business Plan and Budget Performance Measures as follows: 2015-Business Plan and Budget Performance Measures: DIRT Bus Emissions Bus Emissions ,T &A-05646z .2= `20F�7 E�igf'. 100% y.i - - - - 1�3;ti�S:r• 50 - C_ ..��i'i•i:.y'```u._-:Y; - ^:T'--��� - - -:ice✓:sL...v.'YD�i`� - --5_.•:art... r:3- .- #i',,..-'.�-': - `Y�vtil�i}+:ham.'_.®. s:L••- _ _ :��,_::;y.r�^.:ti's` :'[r .•. ,n�r -^;}-...- - .rIO_ •f::J:?�'-�,:.._,:�'n_;-..r-`; ''� _ :a^:d:..,.' _ - ..

A non-exhaustive sample of the energy efficiency and conservation projects which will j reduce GHG emissions and are recently completed, underway or planned for 2015 (including prior-year budget approved funds and 2015 approved funding) include: I ® Water fixture replacements, lighting retrofit and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and boiler upgrades at Ajax Water Supply Plant (WSP); • Mechanical upgrades and lighting retrofit for the existing DRT Raleigh facility; • A variable frequency drive (VFD) replacement at Bayly St. sanitary sewer pumping j station; ® Supply air systems and return/exhaust air systems upgrades for the administration and maintenance buildings at Duffin Creek Water Poluution Control Plant (WPCP); • Replacement of tube heaters, upgrades to the HVAC system and lighting retrofit for Ajax Depots; ® Pump replacements at Beaton Farms (Oshawa) and Southwood (Ajax) sanitary sewer pumping stations and restoration of energy efficiency for low-lift and high-lift pumps across various locations; • i Lighting upgrades as part of lighting security enhancements at 101 Consumers Drive in the Town of Whitby; 9-25 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 24 • A study of ventilation Bowmanville WSP; ® Exterior light emitting diode (LED) lighting retrofit at Hillsdale Terraces Long-term Care Home and various appliance replacements across Regional facilities including Long Term Care Homes (e.g. freezers and dishwashers); ® Completion of boiler replacements at both Corbett Creek and Newcastle WPCPs; ® Participation in the Enbridge RunitRight program by Hillsdale Estates and Hillsdale Terraces Long Term Care Homes and Regional Headquarters, targeting five per cent natural gas reductions through identified low-cost/no-cost measures and supported by approximately.$15,000 in Enbridge incentives; ® In collaboration with Oshawa Public Utility Company (PUC) and CLEAResult (3rd party technical reviewer), post-project measurement and verification to capture the savings associated with refurbishment and energy efficiency restoration of three pumps at Oshawa WSP; • Completion of two lighting retrofit projects at Duffin Creek WPCP with total annual project energy savings anticipated in excess of 165,000 kWh ($20;000 per year2), including replacement/installation of over 880 double lamp fixtures, and installation of LED wall packs, pole lights and occupancy sensors; ® Design and consulting work for building automation system (BAS) system upgrades at both the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) West and North facilities. Collaboration with both Veridian Connections and Hydro One Networks staff continues for the purposes of energy conservation program participation and project measurement and verification; and, • Work is proceeding in the study of options and strategies for resource recovery at the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) as previously reported. 1.5 Duffin Creek Water Pollution-Control Plant (WPCP) Energy Conservation and Demand Management Aside from initiatives described above, significant efforts continue tc be undertaken at Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), the Region's largest energy user, to identify energy conservation and demand management opportunities. Duffin Creek WPCP represents a significant share of the Region's total energy consumption, accounting for almost one third of the Region's electricity and natural gas consumption (full share of-facility consumption including York share). Specific initiatives to reduce energy and GHG emissions and benefit from related cost savings include: ® Continuing work on the completion of a detailed engineering study for the Duffin Creek WPCP Stage 3 Influent Pumping Station (IPS) under the saveMenergy Process and Systems Initiative (program application is subject to IESO approval). 2 Electricity savings are a function of kWh consumption reductions and for larger accounts, billed demand reductions, where charges vary by account size and LDC. For simplicity, savings estimates assume a blended cost of electricity of approximately$0.12/kWh. 9-26 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update Report-No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 25 ® Centrifuge technology to replace batch-operated presses to provide a more consistent feedstock which, reinforced with operational processes and monitoring enhancements, has significantly reduced fuel oil requirements in the incineration process (total annual fuel oil usage has been reduced by over one million litres compared to 2011 levels).. ® Utilization of digester gas at Duffin Creek WPCP to reduce overall natural gas requirements and the need for flaring, similar to practice at other WPCP facilities (e.g. Courtice WPCP). i r ® Power monitoring systems to assist staff with detailed analysis and monitoring of facility energy usage across unique facility loads and processes and assist the identification of additional energy conservation measures and strategy development. i ® Identification and implementation of energy conservation and demand management opportunities, driven by the Region's participation in the saveONenergy Embedded Energy Manager (EEM) program. The program has provided a dedicated staffing t resource to develop energy management plans for the facility and provide quarterly energy assessment reports while seeking to achieve minimum peak demand (kW) and cons umption'(kWh) targets as required under the program (80 per cent program i f funding provided). ® Aside from providing support and analysis, the Duffin Creek WPCP dedicated EEM j resource has identified and assisted with the implementation of,a significant number of initiatives which have already achieved energy savings including, but not limited C to: numerous no-cost energy conservation measures related to HVAC loads across various buildings on-site; decommissioning of numerous high wattage light fixtures across various buildings; and significant peak demand and energy use.reductions resulting from optimization of plant pumping and aeration processes. C L Numerous initiatives already completed are expected to provide significant savings with achievement of the first year target of 1.67 million kWh ($0.2 million per year) expected to be surpassed (verification of savings is currently under review). Given the relative success of the initiative, in partnership with Veridian Connections, the program resource has been extended to the end of 2015 and will continue to be evaluated for consideration beyond 2015 and for other program areas as identified within the Region's CDM Plan. r I 1.6 Durham Region Local Housing Corporation i' Numerous projects have also been recently completed or are planned across locations. within the Durham Region Local Housing Corporation (DRLHC) portfolio including both multi-residential and family units. A brief sample Js as follows: ® Completion of the replacement of a make-up air unit (MAU) and associated exhaust fans and replacement with an energy recovery ventilator at 655 Harwood Ave. S in the Town of Ajax in 2014. Work is underway for replacement of a second MAU at the I° 9-27 2015 Corporate Climate Change Update -4 n Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 26 site and 2015-approved budget funding of$250,:000 has been earmarked to the replacement of the remaining two MAUs. The projects are anticipated to realize annual electricity savings of over 40,000 kWh ($5,000 per year) and natural gas savings of over 50,000 m3 ($14,000 per year)3. Further, total utility program incentives for the projects, contingent on project completion in 201.5 and subject to verification of final costs, are currently estimated at $0.26 million (over 1/3 already received from LDCs) which will cover approximately 50 per cent of total project costs. ® Completion of lighting retrofits at the 103 Cameron St (Cannington) and 385 Rosa St (Scugog) DRLHC locations in 2014. The exterior and interior lighting retrofit projects, supported with almost$7,300 in program incentives, are anticipated to yield almost 14,000 kWh ($1,700 per year) in combined annual electricity savings. In collaboration with Oshawa PUC, Veridian Connections, Whitby Hydro and program delivery agent Windfall Centre, all of the DRLHC low-to-mid-rise buildings and family unit locations were participant to the Home Assistance Program (HAP). This program included site assessment and implementation of energy conservation measures, which include but are not limited to: the replacement of appliances to new Energy Star rated appliances; .installation of energy efficient light bulbs and power bars; and home insulation. While implementation was contingent on tenant uptake and assessment results for.eligibility, the recently-completed program saw the replacement of over 160 appliances (refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, dehumidifiers) across locations. The installation of approximately 4,800 energy efficient light bulbs and installation of attic insulation at 409 Centre St. in the Town of Whitby was also accomplished. Implementation provided at no charge to the Region is anticipated to yield over 0.3 million kWh ($40,000 per year) in annual electricity savings of which almost 60 per cent would be realized directly by tenants in family units who are directly responsible for their electricity.bills (the remaining portion will be realized by the Region which is responsible for bulk-metered electricity costs at multi-residential locations). Anticipated completion in 2015 of the conversion to LED exterior wall fixtures (32 units) at the DRLHC Lakeview site (1529 Ritson Rd, S., City of Oshawa) which is anticipated to yield annual savings of 18,700 kWh (approximately $2,400 per year) as well as over $5,600 in LDC-delivered program incentives to assist in offsetting project costs. o Completion of four technical site assessments in 2014 at DRLHC multi-residential locations. The assessments were undertaken in collaboration with Veridian Connections and Whitby Hydro and have assisted in identifying energy conservation opportunities and available program incentives. 'Assuming a blended effective rate of approximately$0.28/m3. 9_jW15 Corporate Climate Change Update 41 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 27 In addition to initiatives noted above, a number of additional energy conservation initiatives are identified through the budget planning process and have been approved for 2015, including MAU replacement at 850 Green Street in the Town of Whitby and major lighting retrofits at: 655 Harwood Avenue in the Town of Ajax; 2 Nelson Street in the Municipality of Clarington; 1910 Faylee Crescent in the City of Pickering; and, 385 Beatrice Avenue in the City of Oshawa. All of these initiatives, and others currently under investigation by Regional staff of the Corporate Climate Change Staff Working .Group, Energy Advisory Sub-committee nt are key to the success of the Region's CDM Plan. Chaired by the Works Departure y g As noted within the Region's GDM Plan, energy conservation remains central to the Region's culture and best-practice decision-making, reporting and approvals processes going forward. CDM plan costs, benefits, and risks will be considered annually, and monitored and reported within the broader long-term planning and management process with the goal of continuous improvement. The Region of Durham has been recognized for its energy conservation efforts and has I' been named as a leading participant in energy efficiency and demand management programs within the Veridian Connections service territory. As recipient of Veridian's Conservation Champion award for both 2013 and 2014, the Region continues to be recognized for its commitment to energy conservation while also incurring the associated benefits of reduced operating costs, program incentives and reduced GHG I: emissions. i� 1.7 Feed-In Tariff(FIT) and Micro-Feed-lin Tariff (microFIT) Solar Protects Currently, the Region has four operational rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installations located at Durham Region Local Housing Corporation sites in the City of Oshawa and the Town of Whitby. All projects are operating with generated electricity sold back to the Ontario power grid under 20-year microFIT contracts. As shown in the chart following, to-date the solar applications have generated and provided over 114,000 kWh of clean, emission-free electricity to the grid while generating over$74,000 in total rmicroF.IT contract revenues. The solar PV projects are being monitored by Regional staff with performance and related feedback anticipated to assist in future potential project assessments. i E` 9-29 9nis Corporate Climate Change Update A f) Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 28 Rooftop Solar PV Generation and Contract Revenues (August 2011 to Present) 7,000 $90,000 X315 Colborne St,Whitby(kWh) 439 Dean Ave,Oshawa(kWh) 155 King St,Oshawa(kWh) 850 Green St,Whitby(kWh) 6 000 �—Cumulative Generation Revenues(All 4 Locations) $80,000 . c $70,000 5,000 $60,000 2 4,000 _=� Y: _ P _ '� ��_ , tYks�l $50,000 ani 0 V 3 000 F r a _ # i I< $40,000 6 +t r� - J�,v� �t. $30,000 U 2,000 $20,000 E" 1,000 _ $10,000 0 0 ti1b ^M N3 ^", QOd' 0 Cr �e�� 0 Vs CP Qeo 0- V9 ss` QOM poi Qeo• 0 V:R dog QOM po� Deo 4eK' Vs In considering similar technologies and applications for other Regional locations, structural enhancements to the new Fairview Lodge Long-Term Care Home and Clarington Police Complex buildings have been undertaken to ensure solar PV installation capability.

[Next Steps: The Fall 2015 Climate Change Mitigation and Carbon Footprint Update The Region's climate mitigation program and corporate carbon footprint and forecast will be updated in additional detail for Regional Council in the Fall of 2015, once 2014 data has been finalized and verified by Regional staff. The footprint will include adjustments as required to reflect additional or improved sources of data, and revisions' to landfill. emissions estimation methods, fuel emission factors and emission intensity coefficients for scope two emissions (electricity). The Region's corporate carbon footprint calculations and reporting through the Climate Change Update reports goes beyond the requirements of the Ontario Regulation 397/11 and covers Regional owned and leased facilities, vehicle fleets, traffic signals and related infrastructure, water supply and sanitary sewerage treatment, pumping and storage operations, as well as Regional solid waste landfills. 9-3A15 Corporate Climate Change Update 43 4 f,. 4 Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 29 The accounting of the Region's corporate GHG emissions is coordinated through the Finance Department in consultation with Regional departments and is based on established and recognized reporting protocols consistent with previous Regional Council direction. i E I 4 r: i i 4 i i 9-31 2015 Corporate Climate Chanqe Update Report No.: #2015-J-41 Page No.: 30 Attachment#2 New Climate Research A December 2013 study through the Adaptation Sub-committee of the Durham Region Roundtable on Climate Change and conducted by SENES Consultants was released as a key input to the creation of the broader Community Climate Adaptation Plan in December 2013. The report, "Durham Region's Future Climate (2040-2049) Volume 1" Executive Summary is also provided as Attachment#3. The SENES study was provided to Regional staff to reconsider implications for Regional service delivery and infrastructure objectives as part of the annual corporate adaptation planning process. The SENES study provides localized climate projections for each of the eight area municipalities across Durham Region. It was considered by staff as part of 2015 Business Planning and Asset Management planning processes. Based on the SENES Study, on average Durham Region can anticipate an increase in total annual precipitation of less than 15 per cent, however fewer snow events in winter and more summer storm precipitation are anticipated consistent with previous studies. On average; the SENES Study predicts 33 fewer days in Durham with snow and 31 more days with rain. As an example, the following figure taken from the SENES study demonstrates what the anticipated change in precipitation over each month of the year could look like for the Town of Whitby.

However, management of increased freeze- thaw cycles, as previously noted, will continue to be an issue,-particularly for Regional. transportation (Regional roads and Durham Region Transit) and Facilities services. In the summer months, not only is violent storm potential anticipated to increase, but July and August rainfall is anticipated by SENES to increase by an average 67 per cent, C from 166 millimetres (mm) to approximately 277 mm on average across the Region by the 2040-49 period. Whitby, Ajax and Pickering are estimated to see increases even beyond this average over the two months, including: A 76 per cent rainfall increase in Whitby during July and August (161 mm increasing to 283 mm of rainfall) ;. o A 93 per cent rainfall increase-in Ajax (141 mm increasing to 272 mm); and, ® A 96 per cent rainfall increase in Pickering (146 mm rising to 286 mm of . rainfall over the-two. months).

The report is based on data generated for a comprehensive study done for the City of Toronto Which covered a broad area including the Region of Durham. How do we figure out what tine f M Lure weather W11 be? An intemational body called the intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) developed projections of future greenhouse gas(GhC)emissions as early as 1999_ However,what will actually happen is the product of vert complex dynamic systems., determined by demographic development, socia-economic development and technological chanege- How emissions will actually evolve is highly uncertain. In order to try to come to grips with how ouf, t,worl€t will change, various scenarios were developed by the IPCC to provide aitemative' ideas on how the future alight unfold. These scenarios are essential as inputs to climate models- The outputs. from the climate models help examine future Impacts, adaptation and rrritdgation activities. Tine IPCC (2-000),repo I identifies the A B scenario as a credible, conservative, middle of the road f ftwre scenano that generates the highest impact on global warming for the 2W-204-9 period_ This scenario was selected for this study krVhat is a c€im to model? It is.really the only way to understand the -changes to the climate over long timescales. It simulates the madly -processes that occur in the atmosphere and oceans using complex mathematical equations. The equations used are dewed from a wide range of observations and established ;physical laws, such as gravity, fluid motion, and the conservation of energy, momentum and mass. 'These models have been used over the last 40 years to make projeoffons of future climate using assumptions about increases in greenhouse gas levels its the atmosphere. The modeIs divide the world into `boxes', and s mulate an ,average value for the weather within each box (e.g_, temperature, %Md, hurnldKyv, etc-)_ For this study-the British Meteorological Office Hadley Centre climate modell, Had(-'143, was used. The scale of the boxes in the HadCN13 model is about 300 km. This scale is much larger than that of some of the key processes that drive Durhaffs txeather; :such as convection and cloud foi-radon_ This means that mvmy climate processes have to be approxlrnated at MIS scale. It Mould take too much computer time to run a climate model with suffiiclent rr�solution (� 2 km)to represent directGy some of the W,,small-scale processes.

The facility commenced processing waste on February 13,2015 and is currently in the commissioning phase of the project. The Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Plan -Durham York Residual Waste Study (Stantec,2012), was developed based on the Regional Council's mandate to provide ambient air quality monitoring in the area of the DYEC for a three year period. An ambient air quality monitoring and reporting program was also a requirement laid out in the Provincial Minister's Notice of Approval to Proceed with the Undertaking, detailed in Condition 11 of the Notice of Approval (MOECC, 2010).The air monitoring plan was also developed to satisfy the conditions of the Environmental Compliance Approval and the environmental mitigation and commitments set out in the Environmental Assessment (Jacques Whitford, 2009). The predominantly downwind station is located along Rundle Road,south of Baseline Road. The predominantly upwind station is-sited at the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP).Since May 2013, measurements of the following air contaminants have been made at the two stations: • Sulphur Dioxide (SO2); • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx); • Particulate Matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5); • Metals in total suspended particulate matter (TSP); • I: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs); and, • Dioxins and Furans. Operation of the non-continuous monitors was temporarily discontinued on June 28, 2014 as per j Section 1.2 of the Ambient Monitoring Plan (Stantec, 2012). When the EFW facility is fully i? operational, monitoring of non-continuous monitors will resume (as specified in the Ambient Monitoring Plan). Meteorological data is also measured at the two stations. The predominantly downwind Rundle Road station measures horizontal wind speed,wind direction, atmospheric temperature, relative. humidity and rainfall. The predominantly upwind Courtice WPCP Station measures atmospheric temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and barometric pressure. Wind speed and wind direction data at the predominantly upwind location are measured and provided by the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant, j I' Project No.: 160950528 I 9-56 QUARTERLY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING REPORT FOR THE DURHAM YORK ENERGY CENTRE o APRIL TO JUNE 2015 This quarterly report provides a summary of the ambient air quality data collected at these two stations for the period April to June (Calendar Quarter 2). During this quarter, a few instrumentation issues were encountered with above acceptable data recovery rates for all measured air quality parameters. Additional details on instrumentation issues are presented in Section 3.2 of this report. The following observations and conclusions were made from a review of the measured ambient air quality monitoring data: 1. Measured levels of NO2, SO2 and PM2.5 were below the applicable O. Reg. 419/05 criteria or human health risk assessment (HHRA) health-based standards presented in Table 2-2 of this report; 2. Since the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standard (CAAQS) for PM2.5 is based on a 24-hour, 98th percentile level over 3 years whereas the PM2.5 measurement period at both stations for this quarterly report was three months, there is insufficient data collected to determine with any certainty if exceedances of the CAAQS would occur.Therefore no comparison of the measured PM2.5 data during this quarter to the CAAQS was conducted for this report, as it would not be scientifically accurate or representative; 3. In summary,all monitored contaminants were below their applicable MOECC criteria for the monitoring data presented in this report. All measured levels of all monitored contaminants were below their applicable HHRA health-based standards.

The site location of the DYEC is shown in Figure 1-1. The facility commenced processing waste on February 13, 2015 and is currently in the commissioning phase of the project. A monitoring plan, Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Plan- Durham York Residual Waste Study (Stantec, 2012),was developed based on the Regional Council's mandate to provide ambient air quality monitoring in the area of the DYEC for a three year period. The purposes of the ambient air quality monitoring program are to: 1. Quantify any measureable ground level concentrations resulting from emissions from the DYEC cumulative to local air quality, including validating the predicted concentrations from the dispersion modelling conducted in the Environmental Assessment (Jacques Whitford, 2009); 2. Monitor concentration levels of EFW-related air contaminants in nearby residential areas; and, 3. Quantify background ambient levels of air contaminants in the area. Two monitoring stations in the vicinity of the DYEC were set up in April 2013. Since May 2013, the two stations have measured the following air contaminants: • Sulphur Dioxide (SO2); • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx); • Particulate Matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5); • Metals in Total Suspended Particulate matter (TSP); • Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs); and, • Dioxins and Furans. This quarterly report provides a summary of the ambient air quality data collected at these two stations for the period April to June 2015. Project No.: 160950528 1.1 9-60 QUARTERLY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING REPORT FOR THE DURHAM YORK ENERGY CENTRE—APRIL TO JUNE 2015 Introduction August 6,2015 Operation of the non-continuous monitors was temporarily discontinued on June 28, 2014 as per Section 1.2 of the Ambient Monitoring Plan (Stantec, 2012). When the EFW facility is fully operational, monitoring of non-continuous monitors will resume as specified in the Ambient Monitoring Plan (Stantec, 2012). 1.2 LOCATIONS OF AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATIONS The selection of sites for the monitoring stations was done in consultation with the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) and Durham/York representatives based on the results of air quality modelling done in support of the environmental assessment for the project, the locations of nearby sensitive receptors, and general MOECC siting criteria. Two monitoring stations (one predominantly downwind and one predominantly upwind) were chosen for the ambient air quality program. The final locations of the monitoring stations were influenced by the availability of electrical power, accessibility of each location,and security. Details of the siting requirements are detailed in the Monitoring Plan. The selected downwind location is sited northeast of the DYEC in the vicinity of residential receptors predominantly downwind of the DYEC in this direction, and falls in the area where maximum annual concentrations are predicted to occur. The predominantly downwind Rundle Road Station, is located along Rundle Road, south of Baseline Road. Its location is shown in Figure 1-2. The monitoring station measures all the air contaminants listed in Section 1.1 and meteorological data.This station is referred to as the Rundle Road Station. The predominately upwind Courtice WPCP Station, is sited at the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), located to the southwest of the DYEC in order to measure background air quality in the predominantly upwind direction.The location is presented in Figure 1-2.This monitoring station measures the air contaminants presented in Section 1.1, as well as meteorological data,with the exception of wind speed and wind direction,which are measured and provided by the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant. A third Fence Line Station,which will measure non-continuous parameters (metals and total particulate matter) will be installed prior to full operation of the DYEC. As per Section 1.2 of the Ambient Monitoring Plan (Stantec, 2012), the Fence Line station will collect non-continuous parameters beginning after the Facility's commissioning period is complete, and will run for a one year period. Photographs of the Rundle Road and Courtice WPCP ambient air quality monitoring stations are shown in Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4, respectively. 1.2 Project No.: 160950528 9-61 ODOC987 000690V 0001987 000098V 0006587 Z oo_ 0 7 peoif s°a� F o Roab f �S dl 00\10 Green f C c EU �_w 6 { o O r u Gc R°ad i (li o`+e WOOm 01 e� Id 'AdL °ad c A 1 u I Ba m a m y O - fa' r _o O a sovls -y i 1' S 8 �{anppCKRoad � g _ .11;1_ \ c d o a ,cello Goin i A � vm a 0 j p gi 4 G°�° Road r 3 .0 3 m o 5 ° I p o = 3 3 0 vi u,e a d L C Z L V L V u U a o (►��JJ o a . oyd a Q z Q1e - o o f o y Q o0 OOOC9B7 OOOZ9BV 000198V 000098V 0006SBV �±g S` '—6 2 V:\01609\Acliv\160950528\planning\d:owing\lAXO\Almosphcdc\1609.50.928_Alm_Fgl-1_58e loc.mxd Z A ReV'60c 2013.10.28 By.wales aoocvev 000z9ev 000190V 000098V 0006SBr o� U 1: pe°ti 5`O E a I- ��° BnRasd \ y ovwq ��a C s Q ... � v a � •. i ` � � s -C a) � h O oW r o = c 11 ° o>-- O O Mope o U O z c4 C w 1s- O fir- G 1 m ' HoIwp cs 4 ' g g 3 v e D .0 ro q z r' olu a _ n, U. e S Osb°tn 0 j a < 0 0 v U O d • O O O O d c 3: 3 3 8 jx a 3 � o 1 w 0 I Go g�o 0°�0 °ad 83 0 0 ; a a o o x d m . ° o m Vii' c b 8 LJ S c S n V C O it C" 11// \T- U O O O 4sB8`O�va,9 Poad �(� OOOZ981 0001M 000090V %% g° % 0005S8V U $O w\0 Acliva\16095D5?B\p>onning\ds°wing\MXD\AtmospheiicV6095052B_A1m_ftg l-?-_Rmbianl_Monilor L°amxd � o. 14 Revised:2013-10-28 8y:Beaks 14 QUARTERLY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING REPORT F®R THE DURHAM YORK ENERGY CENTRE-APRIL TO JUNE 2015 Introduction August 6,2015 Figure 1-3 View of Rundle Road Ambient Air Qualify Monitoring Station J i Figure 1-4 View of Courtice WPCP Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Station i i Projecl No.: 160950528 1.7 9-64 QUARTERLY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING REPORT FOR THE DURHAM YORK ENERGY CENTRE m APRIL TO JUNE 2015 Key Components Assessed August 6,2015 EY COMPONENTS ASSESSEL) 2.1 METEOROLOGY The following meteorological parameters are measured at the Rundle Road and Courtice WPCP monitoring stations.

Operation of the non-continuous monitors was temporarily discontinued on June 28, 2014 as per Section 1.2 of the Ambient Monitoring Plan (Stantec,2012). When the EFW facility is fully operational, monitoring of non-continuous monitors will resume (as specified in the Ambient Monitoring Plan).Therefore, the following contaminants were not measured this quarter: • Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) matter and metals, • Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and •, Dioxins and Furans (D/Fs). Projed No.: 160950528 2.1 9-65 QUARTERLY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING REPORT FOR THE DURHAM YORK ENERGY CENTRE e APRIL TO JUNE 2015 Key Components Assessed August 6,2015 2.3 AIR QUALITY CRITERIA Two sets of standards were used for comparison to the air quality data as specified in the Ambient Air Monitoring Plan.The first set of standards is the limits reported in O.Reg,419/05 (Schedules 3 and 6).These are compliance based standards used throughout the province of Ontario. However, not all chemicals have O.Reg,419/05 criteria, or in some instances updated health-based standards were used in the human health risk assessment (HHRH) conducted in support of the Environmental Assessment (July 31, 2009) - December 10, 2009).These health- based values,which were reported in Table 7-2,Summary of Inhalation TRVs and Inhalation Benchmarks Selected for CACs) and Table 7-3 (Inhalation TRVs and Inhalation Benchmarks for Selected COPCs) of the HHRA (Stantec, 2009)were used as the second set of standards. The previously applicable 24-hour Canada-Wide Standard (CWS) for PM2,5 of 30 pg/M3 (98th percentile averaged over 3 consecutive years) has been superseded by the new Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standard (CAAQS) of 28 Ng/m3 (98th percentile averaged over 3 consecutive years) as noted in Table 2-2.The proposed CAAQS 24-hour objective for 2020 is 27 jag/m3. A summary of the relevant air quality criteria for the contaminants monitored in Q2 2015 is presented in Table 2-2. Table 2-2 Summary of Air Qualify Criteria for CACs O.

Most NO2 in the atmosphere is formed by the oxidation of NO,which is emitted directly by combustion processes, particularly those at high temperature and pressure. Exposure to both NO and NO2 can result in adverse health effects to an exposed population. NO2 is the regulated form of NOx. Similar to other jurisdictions (e.g., Alberta Environment, World Health Organizafion),the O. Reg.419/05 Schedule 3 standards for NOx are based on health effects of NO2, as health effects are seen at much lower concentrations of NO2 than NO. In this report, because NO2 is the regulated form of NOx, the AAQC were compared to measured NO2 concentrations (as per MOECC 2012a). However, as per the current April 2012 version of O. Reg.419 Summary of Standards and Guidelines, the Schedule 3 NOx criteria were also compared to the monitored NOx concentrations (see Section 4.2.3 below). 4.10 Project No.: 160950528 9-80 QUARTERLY AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING REPORT FOR THE DURHAM YORK ENERGY CENTRE—APRIL TO JUNE 2015 Summary of Ambient Measurements August 6,2015 Data summaries are presented in Appendix B for nitrogen dioxide for each station and month as well as time history plots of the hourly and 24-hour average NO2 concentrations. For the hourly and 24-hour averages, the Ontario AAQCs of 400 Ng/m3 and 200 dig/m3 are shown as blue lines on each plot. As shown in these figures, measured ambient NO2 concentrations at both stations were well below the criteria. The maximum hourly and 24-hour average NO2 concentrations measured at the Courtice WPCP Station during this quarter were 65.3 and 27.3 tag/m3 respectively,which are 16%and 14%of the applicable 1-hour and 24-hour ambient air quality criteria.

The maximum measured 24-hour average PM2.5 concentrations at the Courtice WPCP and the Rundle Road Stations were 20.3 Ng/m3 and 64.7 pg/m3 during this quarter. It should be noted that since an exceedance of the criteria for PM2.5 requires the average of the 98th percentile levels in each of three consecutive years to be greater than 28 pg/m3 (CAAQS) or 30 pg/m3 (HHRA standard) whereas the PM2.5 measurement period at both stations in the report was three months, there is insufficient data in a quarter to determine with any certainty if exceedances of the CAAQS/HHRA criteria would occur. Discussion of PM2.5 measurements with respect to the CAAQS/HHRA criteria will be provided in the 2015 annual report, at which time sufficient data will have been collected to make preliminary comparisons.

The following observations and conclusions were made from a review of the measured ambient air qualify monitoring data: 1. Measured levels of NO2,S02 and PM2.5 were below the applicable O. Reg. 419/05 criteria or human health risk assessment (HHRH) health-based standards presented in Table 2-2 of this report; 2. Since the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standard (CAAQS) for PM2.5 is based on a 98th percentile level over 3 years,whereas the PM2,5 measurement period at both stations for this quarterly report was three months,there is insufficient data collected to determine with any certainty if exceedances of the CAAQS would occur.Therefore no comparison of the measured PM2.5 data during this quarter to the CAAQS was conducted for this report, as it would not be scientifically accurate or representative; 3. In summary, all monitored contaminants were below their applicable MOECC criteria for the monitoring data presented in this report. All measured levels of all monitored contaminants were below their applicable HHRA health-based standards.

Our family has decided to offer this unique property to the region to desired target market - a generally more mature, older group in a higher income bracket (as outdoor weddings/ events are at minimum triple the cost of an indoor venue). I have no desire to disturb my family home, orchard or neighbours and will be keeping the wedding/night events to a minimum. Maximum one event per weekend...for a short window of time weather permitting - usually during the months of june/july/august with a possibility of a late may/early september. E Our home has been in the family since 1834. It is a cherished, beautiful place and it is my intention to entertain events that coincide with the core values of my parents who live on this property. It is not a free for all with the public. You choose the client as much as the client chooses you and your venue. I treated all of my restaurants as an extension of my dining room - inviting my guests to a dinner party every night. The farm will have the same appeal of being invited to have your event here...an extension of our family's hospitality and home. My focus is not only on weddings but luncheons, summer dinners, any event that would promote the farm, the productions and promote local tourism. i Please see the comments below from a luncheon we hosted for the Durham Region and the Pan Am Games this summer. 1 Hi Lesle, I wanted to get back to you before now ori your email..to say how very much I was impressed with your event! It was my pleasure. You are definitely one of the most refined professional event hosts I have experienced, and I will be recommending you for further Durham events in the future. !' You and your family are lovely and such wonderful people in your community. We are fortunate to have you as part of our Region. f 10-1 Thank you for everything you did to ensure it was a relaxing enjoyable experience for all. I hope to see you again soon Lesle. Sincerely, Nancy Nancy Rutherford, MCIP, RPP Manager, Economic Development Agriculture and Rural Affairs Planning and Economic Development Department I have an expert team that is well versed in event coordination and are extremely professional. I would be onsite at all events orchestrating every detail. 1 have no intention of turning my parents home into a wedding facility. Evening events would have limited use of the venue space - shutting music off by 12 and guests off premise by 12:30 as this is a family home and working apple orchard. The size of the event will vary, as will the size of the tent. The average wedding size would be 100 to 180 Parking East driveway is the only acceptable entrance to the event. West orchard laneway and main driveway will not be accessible for guests. Parking attendants will be onsite to help guide/valet cars. This will be built in to the cost of the event and is not an option. Bussing in of guests will be the desired mode of transportation from the local hotels (packages will be offered to the guests encouraging a safe/easy/controlled way to escort guests to and from the event) Usually a bus will pick up guests at 10:30 and 12:15. Keys to us service will be organized for each event as well. Most guests prefer to leave their car at home/hotel and secure other modes of transportation No parking of recreational vehicles or motor homes will be allowed Traffic Directions to the farm will be sent via 35/115 down the 3rd Concession to avoid an excess of traffic for neighbours. The east driveway will be the only access to parking with attendants guiding in cars. Street parking is NOT and option and will NOT be allowed. The main driveway will have a simple sandwich board stating where parking is located. Concessions will be made to ensure that Hwy 2/42/Concession 3 route is NOT used nor recommended. Again refer to Parking - as many guests do not drive. Noise Landscaping at the end of the property to the road facing our neighbours will help contain the noise and block any view. It will also create a boundary along with the trees/hedges and orchard already in place. Please see attached landscaping plans. 10-2 j. The tent will be set back 65m from the road. Speakers will be placed facing eastbound away from the direct route of neighbours or as decided by by-law office Only professional DJ's will be allowed, accountable for their behaviour and licensed. Will follow all Clarington by-laws for noise with decibel measuring Music will be finished by 12/12:30am as decided by bylaw office I will also give my neighbours a schedule of events in advance as well as the type of event being held. I will be accessible to each neighbour for any concerns or questions before/during and after the said event. My sister's family lives across from the farm and has young children aged 5 and 8. My parent's reside at the farm year round.. 1 have no desire to disrupt life in our neighbourhood. Instead, I am hoping to bring an awareness to our amazing facilities, beautiful farm and local talent. Sincerely, Lesle Gibson 416.407.3274 i r� r h f' j I' j' 10-3 1' : } I 1 1,.

Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement I Prime Agricultural Areas shall be protected for long-term use for agriculture. Permitted uses include agricultural uses, agriculture-related uses and on-farm diversified uses. Proposed agriculture-related uses and on-farm diversified uses shall be compatible with, and shall not hinder, surrounding agricultural operations. "On-farm diversified uses" are defined as uses that are secondary to the principal agricultural use of the property, and are limited in area. On-farm diversified uses include, but are not limited to; home occupations; home industries, agri-tourism uses, and uses that produce value-added agricultural products. "Agri-tourism" means those farm-related tourism uses, including limited accommodation such as a bed and breakfast, that promote the enjoyment, education or activities related to the farm operation. j< 4.2 Greenbelt Plan The Greenbelt Plan is not applicable. I. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan i' The Durham Region Official Plan designates the land Prime Agricultural. Within Prime Agricultural Areas a full range of agricultural, agricultural-related and secondary uses shall be permitted. is Uses accessory to the principal agricultural use of the property are permitted, including small-scale home occupations and home industries, and kennels, provided such uses do not alter the principal use of the property for agriculture. In addition, small-scale uses secondary to the agriculture use, that produce value-added agricultural products, such.as cottage wineries, and agri-tourism uses, such as bed and breakfast establishments, farm vacation homes, and farm tours are permitted as secondary agricultural uses, provided such uses are directly related to, or exclusively devoted to the existing farm operation. Area municipal official plans shall include detailed policies to limit the scale and number of secondary agricultural uses, and include policies to address compatibility with surrounding uses. New secondary agricultural uses, other than home occupations/business, bed and breakfast establishments and farm vacation homes, will only be permitted when the area municipal official plan has been amended, or where a site specific zoning by-law amendment has been adopted in accordance with the policies of this Plan. 12-5 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-041-15 Page 6 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the land Prime Agricultural. Prime Agricultural Areas shall be used only for farm and farm-related uses including the use of land, buildings and structures for nurseries, the growing of crops and the raising of livestock, some on-farm diversified uses, specifically home-based occupations and limited home industry uses are permitted. Seasonal farm produce stands may also be permitted provided the produce is grown locally. However, wedding and event venues are not identified. 6. Zoning By-law Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Agricultural Exception One (A-1) Zone" which permits agricultural uses and a single detached dwelling. The current zoning does not permit the proposed use. 7e Summary of Background Studies 7.1 Planning Justification Report, Ecovue Consulting Services, May 12, 2015 The report provides an overview of the subject property and the proposed outdoor wedding and event venue. The proposed outdoor wedding and event venue will consist of the following items: • Designated area outside for wedding ceremonies and other events such as, engagements and retirements for a maximum of 250 guests/patrons; • Reception tent brought in for each wedding/event (size may vary); • Temporary bathroom facilities brought in for each wedding/event; and, • Food services provided by outside local catering companies. No washing of dishes or preparation of food will be conducted on site. The Planning consultant provides an analysis of applicable policies from the Provincial Policy Statement and finds that the proposed use is consistent with the Rural and Prime Agricultural policies that permit on-farm diversified uses, including agri-tourism uses. The consultant demonstrates that while the use is located on a active farm, the venue will be secondary to the principal agricultural use; will not take lands out of agricultural production; and no permanent structures are proposed. The venue will relate to the orchard and rural setting and feature local produce. The venue will not hinder surrounding agricultural operations and minimum distance separation criteria are satisfied. The proposal was reviewed against the Durham Regional Official Plan and was found to conform to the policies that permit farm-related tourism uses and promotes the enjoyment education or activities of the farm operation. The consultant highlights the current and proposed policies of the Clarington Official Plan. While the current plan does not explicitly permit the proposed venue, the use satisfies the 12-6 i Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-041-15 Page 7 Plan's goal to encourage and support the agricultural industry as an important part of the Municipality's economic base. The proposed venue will increase local tourism with guests and tourists from Clarington area and beyond. The proposal supports local economy, including area businesses, such as florists, caterers, bakeries, DJ's, photographers, hair salons, officiants, restaurants, bed and breakfasts, inns, golf courses, and portable washrooms companies. An Official Plan Amendment is required and the proposal is consistent with the direction of the draft Official Plan (2015). A Zoning By-law Amendment will be required to permit the outdoor wedding and event venue on a portion of the property. The Planning Justification Consultant is of the opinion that the proposed development represents good planning. The development will not remove land out of agricultural production, will support the agricultural industry and rural economy, and is compatible with surrounding land uses. 8. Public Notice and Submissions !' 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site. The public notices for this application were mailed on August 14, 2015, and the appropriate signage outlining the applications was installed on the subject lands along Concession Road 3 and Gibson Road. 8.2 At the time of drafting this report, Staff have received one request for further information on the files. Four neighbouring property owners have contacted staff in objection and/or have raised the following concerns: • Noise impacts and loud music; G` • Concerned/questioned at what time the events will end; • Requesting clarification on the number of other permits required ie. health, liquor etc.; • Object to the potential of frequently scheduled weddings/events; • Traffic concerns given road alignment (s-bend) to the west and increased volumes; • Liquor license will promote noise and dangerous activities; • Lack of on-site parking and potential for on-street parking; • Proposed uses do not fit in with character of the area; and • Former packing plant was self-contained, however this use would impact neighbours. g. Agency Comments f' 9.1 Regional Municipality of Durham Regional Planning finds that the proposal conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan as the use appears to be an agri-tourism use which is directly related to the existing apple I` orchard farm operation, consistent with Regional and Provincial Policy direction. The lands are within a "High Aquifer Vulnerabiltiy Area" however the Region does not 12-7 i Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-041-15 Page 8 consider the proposed use a high risk to groundwater. The Region also concurs that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. The findings of the Planning Justification Report have been accepted, including the minimum distance separation calculations to determine setbacks to neighbourhing agricultural operations. Regional Works has no objections as the site is privately serviced and Concession Road 3 is under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Clarington. Regional Health has no objections however will require the submission of a Special Events, Package at least 30 days in advance of the event. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is exempt from Regional approval. 9.2 Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority The Conservation Authority reviewed the proposal at the preconsultation stage and determined they have no objections to the requested use. 10. Departmental Comments 10.1 Engineering Services Engineering Services has no objection to the proposed amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. However, prior to site plan approval, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Engineering Services Department regarding the following concerns and conditions: • Traffic Control and Entrance Improvements; • Grading and Drainage; and • Parking. Engineering highlights that any entrances used for the event business will require improvements to accommodate a 6.0 metre, two-lane driveway, including illumination. Costs and securities will be the responsibility of the applicant. Sightlines at the entrances must be assessed and improvements completed, such as removal of vegetation. The provision of on-site parking will be reviewed in greater detail to ensure there are adequate spaces for guests. These items must be resolved prior to site plan approval. 10.2 Operations Department Operations has no objection to the applications however offer the following comments: • On-street parking will not be considered an acceptable practice. Concerns exist for on-street vehicular and pedestrian safety as well as damage to the roadway pavement edge and narrow gravel shoulders. 12-8 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-041-15 Page 9 • The installation of a streetlight at the driveway entrance to each proposed venue is recommended. Streetlighting will help to improve vehicular movement safety at the driveway entrances during the evening. • Concession Road 3 has a surface treated application that is in average condition. Details respecting the proposed volume of vehicular traffic to this venue are required for roadway improvement and maintenance planning. • Sightlines from the driveway entrance will need to be reviewed. The clearing of existing obstructions or vegetation may be required to improve roadway entrance safety. 10.3 Buildinq Division The Building Division has no objections to the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning, and acknowledges that site plan approval is required. Building permits for the temporary tents exceeding 60 square metres will be required. 10.4 Emergency and Fire Services i The applicant has indicated that food will be prepared offsite and delivered to the venue. However, should food be prepared on site, a commercial cooking suppression and venting system may be required. 10.5 Accessibility Committee The Committee reviewed the site plan and has offered comments relating to parking, pathways, washrooms and lighting. Should the rezoning application be approved, these site plan related comments will be reviewed with the applicant. 11 . Discussion E 11.1 Both Provincial and Regional land use policies have evolved to permit agri-tourism uses, provided they are secondary to the principal agricultural use and limited in area. The uses must be compatible with the surrounding agricultural area. 11.2 The proposed Clarington Official Plan (2015) includes policies that would permit agri- tourism uses however these polices have not been approved, thus the need for an Official Plan Amendment. Should the proposed Clarington Official Plan policies get approved, requests for agri-tourism uses, in conformity with said policies, will require a Zoning By-law Amendment application and Site Plan approval to establish regulations for the uses and consider the site specific characteristics of the proposal. 11.3 Planning Staff have reviewed the Planning Justification report and concur that the proposed applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Durham Region Official Plan and the Official Plan Amendment will continue to implement the objectives of encouraging and supporting the agricultural industry as an important part of the Municipality's economic base. Promoting agri-tourism uses adds value to a 12-9 i` l Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-041-15 Page 10 farm operation, provides supplemental income, provides opportunities to sell directly to the retail market, as well as opportunities to educate the non-farm population about farming and allows the farmer to increase brand recognition by promoting and marketing their own agricultural products. 11.4 Staff have been contacted by area neighbours with concerns that can be summarized into four themes. Staff have reviewed these comments internally and provide the following: Frequency of Events The outdoor venue would be operating on a seasonal basis from May to September, weather depending, with the peak in July and August. Most events will be held on Saturdays, with some bookings occurring on Fridays and Sundays, and less often during the week. The applicant expects to hold approximately 4 major events per month. Noise Typically, events will require the use of microphones, speakers and typical disc jockey equipment. The applicant indicates that music will generally end by midnight, following which guests would be departing. The applicant has agreed to shift the tent location and to direct all sound equipment to the north and east, away from neighbouring properties. The existing orchards and foliage will assist in reducing noise impacts. Staff would recommend that the Zoning By-law Amendment provide a minimum front yard setback of 65 metres to ensure the venue area is located well away from the road and neighbours. Staff would also recommend that the site plan be revised to locate washrooms and catering tents south of the event area to function as additional buffers. Providing plantings as a buffer can also be explored with the applicant during the site plan process. Traffic Engineering Services has determined that the capacity of Concession Road 3 is not a concern. The average daily traffic count is 1,519 with the latest count completed in 2014. Assuming the worst case scenario of approximately 125 trips in and out of the venue, the traffic count would increase by 16% on an event day. However, daily volumes and peak period volumes remain low. The level of service would remain at an excellent level. Staff recommend that all guests and staff use the most easterly driveway, reserving the central and westerly driveways for emergency use only. The applicant also agrees that guests can be directed to and from the site via Highway 35/115 which will alleviate traffic impacts on immediate neighbours. These logistics can be relayed to clients of the applicant and can then be communicated to all guests in advance of events. These 12-10 i Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-041-15 Page 11 provisions can form part of the site plan drawings and agreement that would be j registered on title. Parking i The applicant has indicated that all required parking can be accommodate on the site. The site plan illustrates 75 parking spaces, while the applicant has indicated that the maximum number of guests would be 250.. The applicant is satisfied that 75 parking spaces is sufficient and highlights that some events would including shuttling of guests from area hotels, further reducing the need for onsite parking. Staff are further satisfied that the farm provides ample opportunities for on-site parking between rows of trees in the orchard. Should a problem arise with parking, `No Parking' signs could be posted. 11.5 All taxes owing to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full. 12. Concurrence E i Not applicable. 13. Conclusion The purpose of this report is to provide background information on the proposed outdoor I' wedding and event venue submitted by Lesle Gibson. Staff will continue processing the application including the preparation of a subsequent report upon resolution of the identified issues. 14.

That Report PSD-042-15 be received; 2. That the Zoning By-law Amendment contained in Attachment 3 of Report PSD-042-15 be approved; 3. That the Durham Regional Planning and Economic Development Department be forwarded a copy of Report PSD-042-15 and Council's decision; and 4.

The proposed General Amendment intends to: - Clarify a number of Definitions and General Provisions. - Provide revisions for consistency with the Kennel Licensing By-law 2013-025. - Introduce General Provisions for Special Events, Refreshment Vehicles, Visitor Parking for multiple residential unit developments, 0.3 metre reserves, Temporary Sales Offices and Model Homes. - Restrict the establishment of residential units within storefronts in the "General Commercial (C1) Zone. - Permit pet care as a home occupation. - Delete some of the provisions regarding the removal of the holding symbol. 1 . Background 1.1 On June 22, 2015 Staff introduced the proposed general amendments to Zoning By-law 84-63 contained in Attachment"! through report PSD-037-15. The purpose of these amendments is to address consistency with recently adopted amendments to the Kennel Licensing By-law 2013-025, Refreshment Vehicle By-law 2015-016 and Special Event By-law 2014-020. In addition, a number of amendments are proposed to provide greater clarity and consistency to the interpretation of certain zone provisions and regulations. The proposed amendments are described in Attachment 1. 1.2 During the review of the proposed general amendments, and following the June public meeting, staff identified 3 additional amendments that are proposed in Attachment 2. The additional amendments are subject to this second public meeting and will: • Restrict residential units within storefronts in the core commercial areas of downtown Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, and Orono; • Permit pet care as a home occupation; and • Delete some of the provisions for the removal of a holding symbol. 2. Public Notice and Submissions Notice of the public meeting for the proposed amendments contained in Attachment 1 and 2 were provided in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act and the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan. Notice for the proposed amendments contained in Attachment 1 was placed in the Clarington This Week and the Orono Times on June 3 to 23, 2015. Notice for the proposed amendments contained in Attachment 2 was placed in the Clarington This Week and the Orono Times on August 19, 2015 to September 9, 2015. 12-14 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-042-15 Page 3 3. Public Submissions 3.1 Five general inquiries were received requesting further clarification. Three Kennel owners contacted Staff to express concern that people operating Dog Daycares were not subject to the same requirements as Kennels under the Kennel Licensing By-law 2013- 025. One of the Kennel owners reiterated his concerns at the Public Meeting on June 22, 2015. Two Kennel owners expressed that they felt that Dog Daycares were caring for more than 3 dogs at a time. Staff did advise the Kennel Owners to contact Animal Services if they wished to lodge formal complaints. One Kennel owner suggested that Dog Daycares should be formalized in the Zoning By-law and all felt that they should be subject to the same licensing requirements as Kennels. 3.2 A letter of objection was received from Clark Consulting Services on behalf of Deborah Mathias in regards to the proposed provisions for Special Events (Attachment 1, Item 54). The major concern.is limiting the potential for agri-tourism in the rural area. It was requested that the Agricultural Zone be included in the proposed Special Events provisions. The letter discusses policy Section 13.4.2 in the proposed Official Plan which encourages on-farm diversified uses consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement which encourages the promotion of recreation, tourism and other economic opportunities in rural areas. Ms. Mathias also spoke at the public meeting to reiterate the concerns in the letter and to state that she was concerned the proposed Special Events provisions may disqualify a proposed a ri tourism use she was preparing a zoning amendment application for. C 3.3 An enquiry was received respecting the change to the Holding provision and whether this I would change environmental considerations related to removal of an 'H' prefix. 4. Agency Comments 4.1 Regional Municipality of Durham The Region of Durham sought clarification for the definition of Site Alteration (Attachment 1, Item 37). Inconsistencies were noted with the proposed definition and the one that is provided in the Region of Durham Official Plan. The definition was modified for I consistency with the exception to items that pertain to the Oak Ridges Moraine, as Zoning By-law 84-63 applies to lands outside of that feature. Modifications are highlighted in Attachment 1. The Durham Region Health Department had requested a provision be added to the Special Events provisions (Attachment 1, Item 54) that requires the organizer or vendor to obtain approval from Durham Region Health Department prior to an event. Staff I' discussed this request and determined it was not necessary as municipal staff and the Clarington website direct individuals to contact Durham Region Health Department to determine if additional approvals are necessary. Approvals would only be required if food and/or personal service vendors were operating as part of a Special Event. Durham Region Health Department approval is also a requirement of the Special Events Permit process for events that will have a minimum of 500 attendees at a given time. L 12-15 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-042-15 Page 4 The Durham Region Health Department also requested a provision to be added to the regulations for Refreshment Vehicles and Carts requiring inspections before the start of operation (Attachment 1, Item 55). This request was discussed with Staff from the Durham Region Health Department and it was determined that it was not necessary as their requirement is secured for in the Refreshment Vehicle Licensing and Permitting processes. 5. Departmental Comments 5.1 The proposed amendments contained in Attachment 1 were circulated to the Engineering Services Department, Building Services, and Clerks Department for review. Staff provided insight in refining many of the proposed amendments. Changes that have been made to address Staff comments and those from the Region of Durham noted in Section 4.1 are highlighted in Attachment 1. 6. Discussion 6.1 Clarification Amendments As the Zoning-By-law is used by staff, developers and property owners, we become aware that certain provisions and regulations may be misinterpreted, or are difficult to understand. Clarification of the wording of various definitions and provisions are proposed. The format of the regulations for Accessory Structures is also proposed to be revised to a table format which is consistent with the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning By-law 2005-109 and has proven to be simpler to understand. Many definitions which have been provided within site specific Zoning Regulations are proposed to be relocated to the more appropriate Definition Section of the By-law to avoid duplication. Diagrams used to illustrate defined terms in the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning By-law 2005-109 are also proposed to be added. A number of revisions have been made based on Staff comments and additional review which are highlighted in Attachment 1. While most changes are minor in nature, 2 of the proposed changes are notable. Item 1 which discusses changes to the definition of "Apartment" indicated that reference to "senior citizens" would be deleted as we cannot regulate who lives in an apartment building. Through our review it was determined that the definition of"Senior Citizens' Apartment Building" and reference to it within site specific exception zones should also be removed from the Zoning By-law. This item is further described in item 36 of Attachment 1. Removal of"Senior Citizens' Apartment Building" meets the intention of the discussion in item 1, Attachment 1 which was provided in the previous public meeting report PSD-037-15. Another change is to the definition of"Lot Frontage". Staff had proposed a simplified definition that was based on a proposed "Lot Centreline" definition (see item 31, Attachment 1). The definition was further tested and determined that it would not be feasible for calculating the lot frontage on some irregularly shaped lots. A definition consistent with the definition contained in Zoning By-law 2009-105 for the Oak Ridges Moraine is now proposed, including a diagram which depicts how the definition is interpreted. 12-16 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-042-15 Page 5 6.2 Kennels & Pet Care The definition of Kennel is proposed to be revised for consistency with the Kennel By-law 2013-025. The definition of Private Kennel is proposed to be deleted. The permitted uses in all zones have been examined to determine which sections require the removal of the Private Kennel use as it is now redundant since the Responsible Pet Owners By-law 2013-024 adequately regulates the number of pets residents are permitted to have. Commercial Kennel will also be replaced with a new Kennel definition that is consistent with the Kennel By-law. One of the new additional amendments proposed in Attachment 2 (item 2) is the addition of Pet Home Care as a Home Occupation. Pet Home Care will allow people to care for, groom, and train household pets as a home occupation for not more than 24 consecutive hours at a time. The Pet Home Care will only be permitted to accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs, including the owner's dogs. This is consistent with the Kennel Licensing By- law 2013-025. If a resident wishes to operate a Dog Daycare that accommodates more than 3 dogs at a time, they will need to be appropriately zoned for the use of a Kennel and meet the requirements of the Kennel Licensing By-law. This should address the concerns noted by the Kennel Owners discussed in Section 3.1. 6.3 Special Events i A General Provision is proposed to establish the regulations for permitting a special events use. The definition of a special event needs to be updated for consistency with the Special Events on Private Property By-law 2014-020. Removal of details specific to the temporary use that is no longer relevant also needs to be considered. The special events definition should be modified to include private special occasion celebrations to recognize weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. so that there are no conflicts when providing Planning Services review of Building Permits and Licenses for compliance to the Zoning By-law. k The intent of this proposed provision will allow for public special events to occur where I they are traditionally held such as schools, and churches; or on sites that would be designed to accommodate larger groups of people (eg. Shopping plazas). _The proposed regulations will also allow non-profit organizations to host special events on all lands with the exception of Environmental Protection Areas. Special events will be limited to a total of 7 days in a calendar year and will not allow for Site Alteration. If a land use is proposed that is an ongoing land use, it would not be considered a Special Event. i In regards to Ms. Mathias concerns noted in Section 3.2, the Planning Services „ Department has recognized the need to provide on-farm diversified uses in keeping with the Provincial Policy Statement through the inclusion of policies in the proposed Official Plan. Once the Proposed Official Plan is approved, the Municipality will need to implement further provisions within the Zoning By-law. Although a use may be permitted in the Official Plan, given the nature of the use, it is possible that it may only be permitted by site specific zoning. It will need to be determined which on-farm diversified uses can be permitted, as a right, while providing protection of agricultural uses and our prime 12-17 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-042-15 Page 6 agricultural lands. It would be premature to include regulations in the Zoning By-law ahead of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan. Ms. Mathias did submit a rezoning application on August 7, 2015 which proposes a type of agri-tourism, which includes meat preparation and sales, and events such as weddings. It is expected that the proposed business would operate for profit for more than 7 days in a calendar year. The proposed Special Events provisions would not exclude consideration of Ms. Mathias proposal as it is likely the proposed uses would be treated as a site specific exception within the Zoning By-law provided she receives approvals. 6.4 Refreshment Vehicles The definitions from the Refreshment Vehicle By-law 2015-016 will be added to Section 2 with modification to specify that food and beverages are offered for sale. A list of licensed Refreshment Vehicles was provided by the Clerks Department. The locations were reviewed to determine appropriate locations to permit the use as of right. It is proposed to add stationary refreshment vehicles as a permitted use to the following zone categories: Hamlet Commercial (C3), Special Purpose Commercial (C4), Service Station Commercial (C6). It is proposed to recognize existing stationary refreshment vehicles located in other zone categories. The General Provisions will also restrict the location of refreshment vehicles to a parking area. It is assumed that refreshment carts will operate on municipal boulevards which are not subject to the Zoning By-.law. A General Provision is proposed which would permit mobile refreshment vehicles and refreshment carts to operate in association with a special event. 6.5 Visitor Parking There are currently no provisions for visitor parking for multi-dwelling residential, such as apartments and block townhouse developments or mixed-use buildings. Through the Site Plan approval process, Planning Services staff have requested an additional 0.25 parking spaces per unit for visitor parking for such developments for a number of years. This request has been accommodated by the development community, however it should be included in the Zoning By-law. 6.6 0.3 Metre Reserves Typically a 0.3 metre reserve is established along the side lot line of a lot abutting an arterial or collector road allowance to restrict access to the public street in the case of a ,corner lot. Having a block of land between a lot and the public street has resulted in incorrect interpretations that a corner lot does not require an exterior side yard setback. A regulation is proposed to clarify that where a 0.3 metre reserve is used, it does not eliminate the need for an exterior side yard. 12-18 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-042-15 Page 7 6.7 Temporary Sales Office and Model Homes Section 3.24 a. of Zoning By-law 84-63 which speaks to construction trailers has been interpreted as permitting a sales trailer for new home sales within a plan of subdivision. This section does not regulate model homes, parking, timeframe, or the need for agreements to be in place. A new section is proposed to be added to regulate this use, consistent with the Oak Ridges Moraine Zoning By-law provisions. i 6.8 Dwelling Units in Storefronts j i The ability to convert storefronts into dwelling units was brought to Staff's attention during the review of the proposed Zoning By-law amendments. The details for this issue can be reviewed in Attachment 2, item 1. Currently the Zoning By-law would permit dwelling units to be established in any building that contains a permitted non-residential use within the "General Commercial (C1) Zone" with no direction as to the location within the building. This zone and special exceptions that reference the permitted uses are applied to the core areas of downtown Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle and Orono. In order to retain and encourage commercial store front uses, which are traditional in these areas, a regulation is proposed to prevent residential uses from occupying the street facing portion f of the ground floor of a building. Residential uses will still be permitted in association with other non-residential uses, but if on the ground floor they will be restricted to the rear j portion. 6.9 Holding Zone Section 3.11 of Zoning By-law 84-63 identifies what uses are permitted on properties where the zoning is preceded by the letter 'H'. This section also indicates when a (H) Holding Symbol may be removed. There are policies in Section 23.4.3 of the Official Plan dealing with the removal of the letter 'H' from a zone which are more fulsome than the regulations in the Zoning By-law. This section of the Zoning By-law should only detail what uses are permitted while the (H) Holding Symbol is applied and should not detail specifics as to how to remove the symbol as there could be various reasons for application of a (H) Holding Symbol which is typically based on the characteristics of a specific site. The proposed provisions contained in Attachment 2, item 3 are consistent in format to what is provided within Zoning By-law 2005-109 are being revised to bring j Zoning By-law 84-63 into conformity with the Official Plan. 7. Concurrence Not Applicable i 8. Conclusion In consideration of all agency, staff and public comments, it is respectfully recommended that the proposed General Amendment to Zoning By-law 84-63 be adopted. 9. Strategic Plan Application The recommendations contained in this report conform to the Strategic Plan to continue- with improvements to streamline development approvals. 12-19 i Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-042-15 Page 8 Submitted Reviewed by: j, by.

The subject property is currently zoned as "Agricultural (A)" and a Zoning By-law Amendment has been prepared to rezone this property, in conformity with the Official Plan, in order to allow for the property to be severed and create two 17.26 metre frontage residential lots to accommodate a single detached dwelling on each. 1 . Application Details 1.1. Owner/Applicant: 1351739 Ontario Limited 1.2. Agent: D.G. Biddle and Associates Limited 1.3. Proposal: To rezone from "Agricultural (A)" to an appropriate zone to facilitate the severance of one lot, into two 17.26 metre frontage residential lots 1.4. Site Area: 0.28 hectares 1.5. Location: Part of Lot 35, Concession 2 former Township of Darlington, 85-87 Townline Road North, Courtice 1.6. Within Built Boundary: Yes 2. Background 2.1 On December 19, 2014, 1351739 Ontario Ltd. submitted an application to the Durham Region Land Division Committee to sever the subject property (LD 027/2015). Clarington Staff confirmed that the lands would require approval of a zoning by-law amendment prior to making a recommendation on the land division application as the lands are not within an urban residential zone. After considering all comments the Land Division Committee tabled the application for up to two years to allow the applicant to consult with Clarington and Central Lake Conservation Authority staff. 2.2 On March 24, 2015, D.G. Biddle and Associates Ltd on behalf of 1351739 Ontario Ltd submitted an application to rezone the subject property from "Agricultural (A)" to facilitate a severance and permit two single detached dwellings on 17.26 metre frontage lots (Figure 2). The application was circulated for comments and deemed complete on May 26, 2015. The public meeting was held June 22, 2015. 2.3 An Environmental Impact Study was prepared and submitted with the rezoning application. The report evaluates the natural heritage features present on and near the subject lands. Natural heritage mapping indicates the presence of the Harmony Creek and valley system, and part of the Provincially Significant Wetland complex identified by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The limits of the wetland mapping relative to the subject land is shown on Figure 1. 12-49 arfTnTMIWITMOSINIT011• • • ' • • • t "RAF T -9 F'7r _l :. _ AM ` lrt A_� i x .f + ,t tLa �(_, PA, Ministry of Ulp Natural !LL.

The subject lands are primarily flat, except for a slope area at the very rear of the property where it drops off significantly into the Harmony Creek Valley. Harmony Creek and its wooded valley are located at the eastern end of the property. The subject lands contain a manicured lawn, treed property lines in the north and south and wooded area to the east. The woodland includes a steep slope leading to Harmony Creek and the associated floodplain. Mapping from the Ministry of Natural Resources indicates a portion of a Provincially Significant Wetland is located on the subject lands and continues to the east. 12-51 Municipality of Clalrington Report PSD-043-15 Page 5 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - Rural Residential Dwellings South - Rural Residential Dwellings East - Rural Residential Dwellings and Provincially Significant Wetland West - Kingsway College, a private secondary school campus Figure 3 — Existing Residential Dwelling on Property .J. 4. ProvuncW PoUcy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land use patterns shall be based on a mix of uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure. Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification are encouraged and natural features shall be protected. Municipalities must provide a variety of housing types and densities, and a range of housing options that are affordable to the area residents. Compact and diverse developments promote active modes of transportation such as walking and cycling. The subject application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. 12-52 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-043-15 Page 6 4.2 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe The subject property is located within the built boundary. Population and employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new growth to the built- up areas through intensification and efficient use of existing services and infrastructure. A minimum of 40 percent of all residential development occurring annually within each upper tier municipality is to be located within the built up area. The subject application will satisfy the objectives of the Growth Plan. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Region al.Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates this property as a "Living Area". Living Area lands are predominately intended for housing purposes. Under the Durham Regional Official Plan Development applications in Living Areas shall encourage: compact urban form, use of good design principles and convenient pedestrian access to public transportation, educational facilities and parks. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The subject lands are predominantly designated "Urban Residential', with the rear of the property designated "Environmental Protection" to reflect the location of a Provincially Significant Wetland, a Significant Woodland, Cold Water Stream and Significant Valley lands. The Urban Residential lands are predominately intended for housing purposes. As the lands are within 120 metres of a natural heritage feature, an Environmental Impact Study has been conducted to define the development limit. Townline Road is a designated Type B Arterial Road. Private access points should be limited to one for every 80 metres of road. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. 6. Zoning Bye-law 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands as "Agricultural". This zone does not allow for the creation of two urban residential lots, hence the need for a zoning application. 12-53 i i Municipality of Clarington j Report PSD-043-15 Page 7 i 7. Summary of Background Studies 7.1 Environmental Impact Study, Niblett Environmental Associates Inc., December 2014 The study identifies key natural heritage features including a significant valley and a woodland. Although Ministry of Natural Resource and Clarington Official Plan mapping indicate the presence of a Provincially Significant Wetland extending to this property, the study found only a sugar maple forest without any indication of a wetland on the subject lands. i The outermost, or most restrictive buffer on the development envelope, is the 10 metre setback from the dripline of the mature trees above the top of bank. The study also provides recommendations to mitigate construction impacts. These recommendations would be implemented as part of the Land Division Agreement and monitoredduring the final approval stage. 7.2 Noise Impact Study, D.G. Biddle & Associates Limited, March 2015 Noise mitigation measures are recommended as a result of traffic noise generated by Townline Road including the requirements for central air conditioning and upgraded building components. The recommendation will be implemented during the final approval of the land division application and at the building permit stage. 8. Public Submissions i t 8.1 During the public notice period, Staff were contacted by the neighbour to the south who has no objection to the development of 2 single detached dwellings. 8.2 At the Public Meeting held on June 22, 2015, no members of the public provided any verbal submissions on the application. 9. Agency Comments 9.1 Regional Planning and Economic Development Regional Planning has no objections to the proposed rezoning provided the recommendations of the Environmental Impact Study and Noise Impact Study are endorsed and implemented. f, Regional Works has jurisdiction over Townline Road and has no objections. They indicate that water, storm and sanitary services are available along Townline Road North. There are currently three sets of service connections.to the site, including one to the existing dwelling. The applicant will be required to pay for the cost of the removal of one set of connections, and will be required to confirm whether the service connection to the existing dwelling will be reused or abandoned. Other comments have been provided to the applicant as part of LD 027-2015. 12-54 f Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-04315 Page 3 Durham Region Transit and the Transportation Planning section indicate the rezoning does not present significant Regional transit or transportation impacts. 9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority The Conservation Authority is satisfied that the natural heritage features and the natural hazards have been appropriately identified and mapped. The Conservation Authority requests that all hazard lands, natural features and buffers be zoned Environmental Protection and dedicated to the Municipality of Clarington. The Central Lake Conservation Authority will not support the creation of a new lot that fragments natural features or hazard lands. 9.3 Regional Health The Durham Health Department has advised that they have no objection, in principle, to the proposal. However, it is their recommendation that, as a condition of any approval, the properties be serviced by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water. Any well(s) and septic systems located on the property must be properly abandoned. 9.4 Other Agencies The City of Oshawa, Canada Post, Enbridge Gas, and Rogers have no objections to the rezoning. 10. Departmental Comments 10.1 Engineering Services Clarington Engineering has advised that they have no objection in principle to the rezoning and that prior to final approval of the related land severance application, the applicant will be required to satisfy the Engineering Services Department regarding the following concerns and conditions: Grading; • Drainage; ® Parking; and • Noise Attenuation. 10.2 Emergency and Fire Services Emergency and Fire Services have reviewed the application and have no objection. 11 . Discussion 11.1 The applicant is requesting permission to rezone the subject property from "Agricultural (A)" to facilitate a severance and permit two single detached dwellings. 12-55 Municipality of Clarington Report PS®-043-15 Page 9 Currently, there is an abandoned single-detached residential dwelling in the middle of the property however, the applicant plans to remove the existing dwelling from the property once granted the Zoning By-Law Amendment, in order to facilitate the land division and construction of two new dwellings. 11.2 The Environmental Impact Study and the Noise Impact Study were reviewed. Staff and agencies accept the findings of the submitted studies. The findings of the Environmental Impact Study were confirmed during the July 13th site visit. The Conservation Authority concurred with the applicant's environmental consultant that there is no Provincially Significant Wetland conditions present on the site. In fact, wetland areas may only be present in the vicinity of Harmony Creek, if at all, which is approximately 10-15 metres east of the property. While Ministry of Natural Resource Staff have not yet confirmed the revised limits of the Provincially Significant Wetland, Conservation Authority Staff are satisfied.that the proposed development limit, being a minimum of 10 metres from the dripline is conservative and that once the wetland is re- evaluated, the development limit would not be impacted (Figure 4).

The applicant has objected to this request and did not provide a reference plan identifying the Open Space Block as requested, but rather provided the plan shown in Figure 5. The reference plan proposes to create 2 lots being Part 2 and Part 4, while Parts 1 and 3 are the required road widenings to be dedicated to the Region. Part 4 includes all of the natural heritage features, hazards lands and buffers as the applicant prefers to keep all open space lands together with Part 4 in private ownership, versus placing them in a separate block and dedicating to the Municipality of Clarington. Staff recommend that the Zoning By-law Amendment proceed, however, Clarington Staff will request through the land division application that the reference plan be amended to place the open space lands in separate block to be dedicated, otherwise the land division will not be supported by staff. Also, staff recommends that the (H) Holding Symbol not be lifted until the lands are dedicated.

That Report PSD-044-15 be received; 2. That the Courtice Main Street Community Improvement Plan process and approach be accepted and the consulting proposal call issued; 3. That Staff provide a recommendation for the retention of a consulting team in accordance with the Purchasing By-law; 4.

Once a Community Improvement Plan is complete the Municipality can provide incentives through a number of financial mechanisms, carry out land assembly and direct public works to promote development, redevelopment and improve urban infrastructure. Council directed Staff to initiate a Community Improvement Plan for the Courtice Main Street area in May 2015. 1 . Background Part IV of the Planning Act describes the steps a Municipality must undertake to designate community improvement areas and develop community improvement plans (CIP's). The Official Plan sets out community improvement goals, objectives, policies and generalized study areas. The Regional Corridor along Highway 2 from Townline Road to Hancock Road is identified in the Official Plan as Courtice C1 a first priority community improvement study area. It was added as part of the amendment for the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan (Amendment 89). _ fit;=1` � ry ; •i ilr i _l i...1 - — '-- r' 1 _1 P l:r.'ir�= --T - ':���f tl`r:''. :. r1 :i�,i}'I r r C'. � "1�,�.� Legend f � � -{ r•- t1�3 �' 1,�--++•�-1I'S'i;TtS`J�`? tt,,1. � 51'—x ®Community Improvement Project Area r NASHROAD� Courtice Urban Area Boundary iTV - I?�1�=� _2_..�- _ + �.�, °kl�__ 'i �'.t�:..• i.iu1 i'#�i�1�`i t'�n_ !'.11�_ _:� , ,, h Ml- -o%V1TjO I} 3• f �F" ---, tii. -rtt 'nw 1 � �.. � 1 ;..__:S_IS?l ��-1` � •¢1'"�-, .s;aG;.. � � � i�7{�( }_, ,a��j-�.' \ �,.,f�'��i.j��R('!'J�]�}� i � : -� - �� )TY •�, (�...r� Fr r'l•�^ " _ _ -t:�I�I�I�G� 4 f+.t :Zc ...IlIItA;;.•' _ : ,� )f-r7 �. .�/-l�_�'t-- ;5:�?��:C/.j'�'''' V C fi, r;;� � r'.} �._ !i � �r� '✓:a- C- �_�: ft;l�;`Faj� �sy . UiUI � tv�; 2. Community Improvement Background As part of the Official Plan Review, a special study on Courtice's Main Street was completed. This Master Development Plan guided the policy direction of the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines which Council adopted in January 2013, the Region adopted in February, 2014 and was fully approved by the Ontario Municipal Board November 28, 2014. 12-62 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-044-15 Page 3 The purpose of the Courtice Main Street Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is threefold: • To build upon the clear direction set out in the land use policies and urban design guidelines of the Official Plan for urbanization as a mixed-use Regional corridor. • To enable the Municipality to respond to increased development interest and community growth in Courtice by establishing a framework of financial incentives to promote property consolidations, redevelopment and intensification along the Highway 2 corridor. • To develop an implementation plan for the Black Creek Trail. To achieve the purpose of the Courtice Main Street Community Improvement Plan, staff have prepared the draft Terms of Reference. It will guide the study process and serve as the basis for the proposal call to retain a consulting team. 3. CIP Process and Approach The CIP process consists of three stages, each with public and Council consultation. 3.1 Stage 1 - Identifying Community Needs 4 The Courtice Main Street Master Plan, Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines have established the basis of the Community Improvement Plan. The Secondary Plan in j combination with the Reaional Corridor will form the basis of the study. The CIP focus will be about development and financial incentives. i The community support shown during the development of the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines will be built upon, and set direction for preparation of the CIP. Council has already approved the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines. Council has directed staff to prepare a Community Improvement Plan based on these documents, and the request made as part of the Development Charges By-law public meeting. The comments of business owners and land developers for incentives to realize the goals and objectives set out in these studies will be considered when developing the incentive j programs. l 3.2 Stage 2 - Draft Incentives and Programs The second stage is to draft the CIP incentives/programs according to community i findings, the adopted planning policy and identify opportunities to realize the vision set out in the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines. Analysis of financial tools and programs best suited to incent development while maintaining financial sustainability for the Municipality is key. Staff will report back to Council with draft recommendations for designating a specific community improvement project area, actions, programs and E' implementation steps. Details for incentive-based programs, marketing strategy and monitoring programs will be developed along with an Action Plan for the allocation of resources and implementation of the recommended programs. i' 12-63 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-044-15 Page 4 The final draft of the CIP will be circulated to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and Region of Durham, interested parties, and presented at a formal public meeting. Any necessary revisions will be incorporated into the CIP to be forwarded to Council for adoption. 3.3 Stage 3 - Implementation The last stage focuses on implementation through marketing, financing and monitoring. Marketing programs will be established to raise interest in and stimulate uptake of each program. This will include ongoing screening, reviewing and approval of applications for financial assistance and administering agreements and issuing financial assistance payments. Financing incentives will be addressed as part of the capital budget process. The monitoring program will continually address implementation and service delivery to make the process business friendly and implement any necessary adjustments. 4. Retention of a Consultant Staff from Planning and Finance Departments are engaged in major projects and it would not be possible to accelerate the Courtice Community Improvement Plan without the retention of a consultant. Additionally, this work will require additional expertise from a consulting team that is familiar and versed in the financial incentives that can be implemented. One of the key tools to be considered is a version of tax increment financing. This type of program phases in property taxes by means of grants based on the change of assessed value of the lands. Typically it would average 50 percent of the change in taxes owed on the lands but be phased in gradually. In addition, there are many other forms of incentives such as those identified as part of the Region's Revitalization Program and additional mechanisms that could be offered through Development Charges. The consulting team will be expected to carry out a Best Practices Analysis of the various financial tools available and match them to Courtice's needs and the municipal financial framework and its long term health. A consultant familiar with municipal finance, development project financing and experience in the preparation of Development Charge Background Studies and by-laws will be a requirement of the consulting team make-up. In addition, expertise and familiarity of the consulting team with planning policy and community improvement programs will be a requirement. It is anticipated that a consulting team with this blend of expertise will be able to search out the "best practices" that exist across the Province and provide innovative value-added variations to the scope of work and recommend financial tools that will fit the identified need. It is estimated that the CIP Consultant contract will be in the range of$50,000. As the proposal for this CIP is targeted towards specific development incentives, it is very clearly linked to growth related initiatives. As a result, any costs are eligible for funding from development charges at 90 percent. The balance of the funding must be covered by non- development charge sources. It is therefore recommended that the costs be funded from Unclassified Administration-Professional Fees account number 100-21-211-00000-7161 with the 90 percent funded from the Development Charges-General Government Reserve Fund. 12-64 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-044-15 Page 5 Once the proposals from consulting teams have been received they will be evaluated by the in-house steering committee based on the qualifications and criteria set out in the proposal call and in keeping with the Purchasing Bylaw. A recommendation report on retaining the consulting team will be provided from the Purchasing Division, as per the process set out in the by-law. 5. Public Consultation Amongst other criteria, the Consultant's proposal, will be evaluated on their proposed public engagement process and communication strategies. The previous studies have already engaged the residents, property and business owners. Over the past few years there have been 4 workshops, 5 public information centres and 6 council opportunities, plus a Regional Council meeting dealing with the vision for, planning policies and urban design guidelines for the Courtice Main Street. As a minimum the CIP will include consultation meetings: • An Introductory Public Open House to introduce the CIP study process; and show case how the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines could be spurred by CIP incentives to develop sooner; • A public open house to present the Community Improvement Plan; and • Statutory Planning Act Public Meeting. Other possible public consultation events can be recommended by the respondents including, but not limited to other stakeholder input through, Community Cafes, Open Houses, etc. The report on retaining the consulting team will include a description of how the public will be engaged. 6. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by Nancy Taylor, Director of Finance and Tony Cannella, Director of Engineering Services who concur with the recommendations. 7. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that Council authorize a Consultant proposal call based on the process set out in the Purchasing Bylaw and as outlined in Report PSD-044-15. 8.

The proposed zoning by-law amendment would permit an apartment building on the subject lands. The zoning by-law will create a suitable building envelope for the apartment building with site specific regulations including vehicular and bicycle parking, amenity space, relationship to Martin Road and maximum height. Since a site plan application has not been submitted or approved, there will be additional conditions imposed for removing the Holding (H) symbol relating to pedestrian connectivity, environmental impacts, urban design and shared access arrangements. 1. Application Details 1.1. Owner/Applicant: Zemer Holdings Ltd. 1.2. Agent: D.G. Biddle & Associates Ltd. 1.3. Proposal: To rezone the lands from the existing Urban Residential Type One (R1)Zone to an appropriate zone to permit the requested use. 1.4. Area: 1.3 hectares. 1.5. Location: 50 Martin Road (Regional Road 57), Part of Lot 14, Concession 1, Former Town of Bowmanville (See Figure 1). 1.6. Within Built Boundary: Yes 2. Background 2.1 Zemer Holdings Ltd. purchased the subject lands in June 2011 and a pre-consultation meeting was held with staff and agencies in August 2011. The rezoning application was initially submitted April 7, 2014. It was subsequently revised and additional information was submitted allowing the application to be deemed complete in August 2014. 2.2 The applicant hosted a Public Information Centre on December 3, 2014. A summary of the comments heard at Public Information Centre is included in Section 7 of this report. 2.3 The Public Meeting under the Planning Act was held on January 19, 2015. Since that time, the applicant prepared a revised submission to address staff, agency and public comments. The revisions include modifications to parking and amenity space, and the building envelope was revised slightly. The revised servicing plan illustrates a new storm sewer-extending easterly down the slope and through Rhonda Park to connect to an existing stormwater management facility. 12-68 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 3 Figure 1: Site Map 26 s� 62 N r a N 105 9-L < 67 TREWIN LANE 103 0 30 h^ v v NN r 101 C 99 N34 97LO Q95 O 38 93 39 109 107 z Rhonda Park 92 91 105 0 42 103 Aspen W 101 Springs af 99 4697 �iW.11 o 86 ti Plaz84 95 93 aha �a a 91 1 a� oapu o 81 89 0 0Aftdl.L ' 79 a Blaisdale 87 °H aa a Montessori _j 77 � oaa School O a a ,. • m 75 HARTWELLAVENUE ° 80 •;il a as 4a a aJa�a a a o 73 79 a 0 O = 71 Aspen � 77 springs v o o N p o o�7tl N o m o v N o 69 75 Centre t2 O M - CO N N N N N r W co N 73 44 67 DOREEN CRESCENT 71 cc 46 65 69 0 48 M m �N N N N N°' r Vi56 63 59 � ti mo 53. 51 ZBA 2014-0013 2.4 The preliminary site plan submitted with the application illustrates a proposed 71-unit apartment building fronting onto Martin Road.

Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth. Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure. Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification are encouraged, and natural features shall be protected. Municipalities must provide a variety of housing types and densities, and a range of housing options that are affordable to the area residents. Healthy and active communities should be promoted by planning public streets to be safe, meet the needs of pedestrians, foster social interaction and facilitate active transportation and community connectivity. Compact and diverse developments promote active modes of transportation such as walking and cycling. The subject application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. 12-71 Municipality of clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 6 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new growth to the built up areas through intensification and efficient use of existing services and infrastructure. The development of complete communities is encouraged by promoting a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment and housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and services. New transit-supportive and pedestrian-friendly developments will be concentrated along existing and .future transit routes. A minimum of 40 percent of all residential development occurring annually within each upper tier municipality will be within the built up area. The proposed development will contribute to intensification within the built boundary. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the lands are part of part of the Urban System and designated Living Area. Part of the subject lands are identified as having a Key Natural Heritage Feature. The site has access to a Type A Arterial Road. Living Areas incorporate the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. Living Areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads, and develop with particular consideration for supporting and providing access to public transit. By 2015, and each year thereafter, urban areas across the Region shall be planned to accommodate a minimum 40% of all residential development occurring annually through intensification within built-up areas. Development or site alteration is not permitted in key natural heritage and/or hydrologic features, including any associated vegetation protection zone, as determined by an Environmental Impact Study. Type 'A' Arterial Roads are designed to move large volumes of traffic and predominantly serve inter-regional and inter-municipal trips, with rigid and progressive access control. They have a right-of-way width between 36 and 45 metres. Private access points are generally located a minimum of 200 metres apart in Urban Areas. Mixed use and higher density developments are permitted with shared access points. On-street parking is not permitted and/or prohibited during peak periods. The flow, at speeds of up to 70 kilometres per hour, is uninterrupted with the exception of at signals. Type 'A' Arterial Roads connect with freeways and arterials and may serve as regional transit spines. The application conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 12-72 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 7 I 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The lands are designated Urban Residential and are within the Waverley neighbourhood. i The housing target for the neighbourhood identifies approximately 75 intensification units ! by the year 2016. The proposed apartment building is an example of intensification. Intensification units encompass all density types. The development conforms to the housing and population targets of the Official Plan. A woodland feature is present on the sloped area of the site. An Environmental Impact Statement reviewing the sensitivity of the feature and anticipated impacts of development . was submitted in support of the application. Martin Road (Regional Road 57) is a designated Type A Arterial Road which provides a high level of services and operating speeds. One private access is allowed for every 200 metres. Urban Design policies encourage a high quality public realm, and give priority to sustainable design, including environment-first principles, walkability, land efficiency, compact and connected communities and resource and energy efficiency. Attractive and safe communities are encouraged to create a sense of place and a diversity of built form. The built form should facilitate active transportation and public transit. The application conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. 6. Zoning By-law The subject lands is currently zoned Urban Residential Type One (R1) under Zoning By- law 84-63. The submitted application to amend the Zoning By-law is necessary to implement the proposed apartment building use. 7. Summary of Background Studies 7.1 Planning Justification Report, D.G. Biddle &Associates Limited, July 2014 The report reviewed the proposed use of the subject site against Provincial, Regional and Municipal planning policy and concluded that the proposed apartment use is appropriate for the site and neighbourhood from a planning perspective. The report gives an overview of the submitted supporting studies and highlights that detailed design plans will be submitted with the site plan application. The report determines that site development will not have a significant negative impact on the surrounding natural environment or adjacent land uses and the existing arterial road C will adequately handle any increase in traffic. The apartment use will be a benefit to the Bowmanville Urban Area in providing a broader choice in housing for residents. r 12-73 I Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 8 The report concludes that the proposed rezoning application and site development is consistent with current Provincial, Regional and local planning policy and represents good planning. 7.2 Traffic Impact Brief, Tranplan Associates, January 2014 The report found that the future site-generated traffic will have no appreciable impact on the surrounding road network. The entrance for the site is recommended at the north end of the property and constructed to current Region of Durham standards for a residential entrance to a multi-lane arterial road. The full movement site entrance will require only one inbound and one outbound lane. The new internal site roadway will be constructed to meet local and regional standards and will include a sidewalk to support pedestrian connectivity. All signage and pavement markings are to be constructed in accordance with standard design guidelines. 7.3 Environmental Impact Statement, Niblett Environmental Associates Inc., November 2013 The applicant's environmental consultant assessed the woodland and surveyed the property for species at risk. The woodland is an isolated feature and lacks connectivity to other features in the larger urban landscape. There are no other associated natural heritage features present, and the woodland is not a sufficient size to be determined significant. The consultant determined that there is no suitable habitat for any species at risk on the property. While the woodland feature is not deemed significant, the report highlights that the building envelope for the apartment building will be outside the woodland. The site plan to be submitted should retain as much tree cover as possible. 7.4 Phase One Environmental Site.Assessment, Geo-logic Inc., December 2013 The property was found to have a low risk of existing soil contamination and is suitable for future residential development. No further soil investigation is warranted. 7.5 Functional Servicing Report, D.G. Biddle & Associates Limited, July 2014, revised March 2015 The report confirms that there are existing water and sanitary services along Regional Road 57 that can accommodate the proposed development. Regional Road 57 does not currently have storm sewer services within the right-of-way. The report provides preliminary details for a storm sewer connection through Rhonda Park. Stormwater quality controls will be achieved by an oil/grit separator and Low Impact Development techniques. Stormwater quantity will be managed by detaining stormwater on site prior to discharging through Rhonda Park. The detailed design during the site plan process will also implement erosion and sediment controls. 12-74 i Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 9 7.6 Geotechnical Investigation Report, Geo-logic Inc., January 2014 The report provides details of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions on the lands and provides geotechnical recommendations regarding earthwork construction, re-use of existing soils as backfill material, foundation and slab-on-grade design, service installation, pavement design and slope assessment. I i The consultant confirmed that the slope is considered stable at a maximum grade of approximate 5:1 (horizontal grade:vertical grade) and determined further slope stability study is not required. r i i 8. Public Submissions Prior to the Public Meeting under the Planning Act, the applicant held a Public Information Centre on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Facility. Nine members of the public were in attendance, in addition to the applicant, the, applicant's Planning Consultant, Clarington Planning Staff, and the Ward 1 Local Councillor. The Public Meeting under the Planning Act was held on January 19, 2015. Public Notice of the complete application and the public meeting was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting sign was posted on the subject lands. Eight residents contacted staff regarding the application with concerns and or objections, however no members of the public spoke at the Public Meeting. The following comments were collected during the public consultation phase: • Traffic congestion, pedestrian safety-and lack of signals at Hartwell/Highway 57 • Density and built form is not in keeping with existing area • Property values may decrease f • Concern that the units would be subsidized/geared to income • Privacy concerns • Fencing would need to be installed • Impacts to environment and existing vegetation • Grading and drainage implications • Development would increase noise impacts to neighbourhood • Questions relating to eventual improvements to Highway 57 (Regional undertaking) • Too little parking provided • Driveway is too small • Building would impede views to the west • Owner to north requests privacy fence and minimal disruption during construction • Positive impact to area businesses and the downtown • Offers an affordable housing choice • Development would help to improve the lifestyle of residents in the community • Increases property values along Martin Road • Built form and architectural treatment should be compatible with existing character • Concerned about piece-meal approach to development on the east side of Martin Road 12-75 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 10 9. Agency Comments 9.1 Regional Planning and Economic Development Regional Planning finds the proposed use is consistent with Provincial planning policies and conforms to the Region of Durham Official Plan. The site is connected to municipal water and the sanitary sewer must be extended from Hartwell Avenue across Regional Road 57. A road widening must be provided. Regional Works has reviewed the Traffic Impact Study and the access to the site is to be located at the north limit of the site as shown on the site plan. Shared access points for lands along the east side of Regional Road 57 must be considered. The site design should consider pedestrian connectivity and relationship to Martin Road in more detail. The Region also notes that the grading of the site should be revised to avoid high retaining walls which would prevent any shared access arrangements with properties to the north. Regional Health Department has no objections provided the development is serviced by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water. Durham Region Transit has no objection. 9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority The Conservation Authority does not object to the application and accepts the general assumptions of the stormwater management plan, and is satisfied that a suitable storm sewer connection is feasible for this development. Water quality and quantity, grading, overland flow and erosion control can be finalized at the detailed site plan stage. The Conservation Authority accepts the findings of the environmental consultant-but requests that standard mitigation measures be prepared to minimize impacts to the feature and its function and that the environmental consultant provide an evaluation of the area to be disturbed for the storm sewer connection and should consider, compensation planting. The additional work required by the environmental consultant can be finalized at the site plan stage. 9.3 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board The local Public School Board has no objections to the application. Students would attend Waverley Public School and Clarington Central Secondary School. Since the Public Meeting, the school board has confirmed that students along Martin Road are bussed to Waverley Public School. 12-76 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 11 I 9.4 Other Agencies Veridian, Canada Post, Enbridge and Rogers have provided no objections. Technical comments provided have been forwarded to the applicant. i 10. Departmental Comments 10.1 Engineering Services The Engineering Services Department highlights that Regional Road 57 is under the authority of the Region of Durham. Access and servicing must be approved by the Region. Engineering Services is generally satisfied with the principle of extending the storm sewer easterly down the slope and through the park to the stormwater management pond and is willing to consider granting an easement for construction and maintenance in favour of the applicant. Further discussion is required with respect to the detailed design which can be addressed at the site plan stage. A restoration planting plan will be required. Providing suitable pedestrian connections/sidewalks will be a condition of approval from the Municipality of Clarington in the event that the eventual reconstruction of Regional Road 57 has not occurred prior to development of the subject lands. Engineering requests that the developer construct a temporary municipal sidewalk northerly from the site to Aspen Springs Drive which will provide for a signalized pedestrian connection. The developer will be required to cover the costs of maintaining this sidewalk until Regional Road 57 is reconstructed to a full urban standard. i Other matters to be resolved prior to final approval include cash in lieu of parkland, entrance illumination and provision of dedicated snow storage. 10.2 Emergency and Fire Services Fire and Emergency Services has no objection to the rezoning and advised that the Fire Route must be shown on the site plan should approval be granted. They request clarification on whether the building will be sprinklered. This will be dealt with during site plan approval. ' F 10.3 Operations Department The Operations Department has no objection and provided comments that can be implemented at the site plan approval stage should the rezoning be approved. 10.4 Building Division The Building Division has no objections. 4: i 12-77 k Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 12 11 . Discussion 11.1 The subject lands are within the urban area and the Official Plan policies support the requested use. Provincial and Regional intensification policies are also supportive of the development. 11.2 Built Form and Density The proposed apartment building is an example of intensification. The proposed development will be four storeys high facing Martin Road which is considered a medium density development built form. The site density complies being 58 units per hectare. This is appropriate given the site's location along a major arterial road and in an area where lands will be available for redevelopment over the longer term. The development conforms to the housing and population targets of the Official Plan. The proposed Clarington Official Plan 2015 identifies lands on the east side of Regional Road 57 as a Local Corridor and the apartment use will continue to conform to the policies that promote higher densities, transit oriented development, redevelopment and. intensification. While specific design guidelines and/or a secondary plan for this local corridor have not been considered, Staff are satisfied that this development is an appropriate form of intensification. Future development along the east side of Martin Road, between the subject lands and the railway, require parcel consolidation and will be more long term. The preparation of design guidelines and/or a secondary plan for local corridors will take place once the new Official Plan policies are in place. However, the development will allow for a shared access point on the east side of Martin Road. The maximum height for a local corridor is 4 storeys therefore the proposed building will be consistent with future intensification projects along Regional Road 57. The proposed zoning by-law would place the subject lands in a site specific Urban Residential Zone (Attachment 1) that will require both minimum and maximum yard setbacks for the building, and balconies, to maintain an appropriate distance between the building and the road. The maximum permitted height of the building will be 17.5 metres which is measured from the lowest point of grade to the top of the flat roof. 11.3 Piece-meal Development of Corridor Promoting a piece-meal approach to developing the corridor was raised as a concern, however, as mentioned in Section 11.2, the subject development will set the stage for future redevelopment opportunities to the north. The development is at the south end of the strip of lots that have redevelopment potential and is significantly larger. This development will serve as an anchor leading into the corridor, leading to the future GO Transit site and both the Bowmanville West and East Town Centres. This site is 1.29 hectares in size, while the parcels to the north, 15 in total, range in size from 0.1 to 0.4 hectares, with a depth of approximately 50.metres. The smaller parcels are expected to take longer to assemble and redevelop. The neighbouring parcels could accommodate multi-residential uses at a smaller scale. Redevelopment of the existing 12-78 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 13 lots with traditional and stacked townhouse units and smaller apartment buildings would complement the proposed apartment building. To address the concern of promoting a piece-meal approach to development, Staff have prepared a preliminary concept showing one possible layout that would meet the objectives of the new Local Corridor policies and provide limited and shared access points through a lane system. The concept demonstrates that the subject lands are of a sufficient size to accommodate the proposed use, does not rely on other parcels to fully develop, nor does the proposed development negatively impact the development potential of other lands in the area. That being said, establishing an opportunity for a shared access point with adjacent lands will be a requirement for the subject application and is further discussed in the following sections.

The entrance at the north end of the property is supported by the Region of Durham and they identify that opportunities for shared access points should be encouraged. The Region of Durham is currently undertaking an Environmental Assessment for Regional Road 57. The study commenced in December 2014 and the first Public Information Centre was held in March 2015. Pedestrian safety and connectivity at Hartwell Avenue was raised by attendees as a concern. Next steps in the process include another Public Information Centre with the release of a document outlining the preferred options, and background on the alternatives, prior to final approval of the Environmental Assessment document. The Environmental Assessment is expected to be finalized in late 2015/early 2016. The Environmental Assessment will provide direction on long term pedestrian facilities along Regional Road 57. The applicant will be required to satisfy Engineering Services requirement to construct a temporary municipal sidewalk northerly from the site, on the east side of Regional Road 57, to Aspen Springs Drive which will provide for a signalized pedestrian connection. The developer will be required to cover the costs of maintaining this sidewalk until Regional Road 57 is reconstructed to a full urban standard. 11.5 Pedestrian Connection to Rhonda Park The subject lands are on the periphery of the neighbourhood but without ready access to the internal facilities such as Rhonda and Waverley Park, Waverley Public School and the Blaisdale Montessori School. It would also provide a more convenient walking route to the Downtown. It would be desirable to allow for public access from the internal neighbourhood as well to access transit and other amenities on Regional Road 57. The site grades make the construction of a public trail difficult, within the constraints of this property. This may be considered further and in particular, in consideration of future properties being redeveloped. However, at the very least a private pedestrian trail should be required to provide the residents of this building access to Rhonda Park. This matter will be examined in more detail as the site plan is prepared. 11.6 Servicing Water and sanitary services are available along Regional Road 57. Stormwater can be accommodated by extending a storm sewer easterly down the slope and through Rhonda Park and outlet to the existing stormwater management facility in the park. Although the principle of this option is not opposed, prior to determining the final details, an update to the Environmental Impact Study is required to assess impacts and propose suitable compensation. 12-80 i Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-045-15 Page 15 11.7 Conditions to be Satisfied Prior to Removing (H) Holdinq Symbol Planning Staff have considered withholding the recommendation on the Zoning By-law Amendment until the findings of the Environmental Assessment are released and approved. However, staff are satisfied that adding site specific conditions to be satisfied prior to removing the (H) Holding symbol is an appropriate planning tool to ensure the orderly development of the lands. This will allow the principle of the development to be approved. r The Official Plan has provisions for applying and removing the Holding Symbol pursuant to the Planning Act. Among other matters, the policies allow holding provisions to be used to ensure measures are in place to protect natural areas; measures are in place to mitigate the impact of development; and, the submission of any other requirements as may be deemed necessary by Council including the implementation of the policies of the j Official Plan. Staff recommend that in addition to the standard conditions for removing the (H) Holding symbol such as entering into a development agreement and satisfying all financial obligations, the following conditions must also be satisfied, through the site plan agreement: a) Construction of a temporary sidewalk along the east side of Regional Road 57 from the subject site to Aspens Springs Drive if the development proceeds in advance of the reconstruction of Regional Road 57; b) Construction of a trail, publicly accessible if feasible, to provide a pedestrian connection for this development to Rhonda Park, the interior of the neighbourhood and ultimately a connection to the downtown; c) An Environmental Impact Study addressing the proposed storm sewer connection to Rhonda Boulevard and the pedestrian trail; and d) An appropriate design and provision of easements to facilitate shared access connection between the approved entrance and a minimum of four parcels to the j north i the By-law authorizing the removal of the (H) Holding Symbol be approved; 11.8 Other Site Plan Related Matters The applicant and their consulting engineer have been notified that the preliminary grading plan and surface parking layout is unacceptable. The plan indicates the parking lot would be contained by retaining walls as high as 3 metres. This would severely limit any opportunities for a shared driveway connection with lands to the north. The grading plan needs to be revised to be sympathetic to existing grades both on and off site. The site plan process will allow the applicant to work towards satisfying the site-specific provisions for the removal of the Holding Symbol and to consider all other site plan review 12-81 Municipality of Clarington .. Report PSD-045-15 Page 16 items including final building design, landscaping, entrance and site lighting. The agreement will also contain provisions requiring a cash in lieu of parkland payment. 11.9 Staff have reviewed all public comments and all concerns have been addressed to the extent possible. The concerns of the public will continue to be taken into account during the site plan.review stage. Staff will consider additional elements such as screening through landscaping and fencing; window placement; and location of loading areas, etc. in response to concerns of neighbouring residents. 11.10 The applicant proposes to increase the height of the mutual property fence between the subject lands and the lots fronting onto Doreen Crescent, from the maximum permitted 2.1 metres to 2.4 metres. This solution is premature until a formal site plan application is received and there is a full understanding of all items such as grading, building design, and landscaping. 11.11 All taxes owing to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full. 12. Concurrence Not Applicable 13.

Introduction: Brain and Audrey Jose purchased this property in May 2012. The home had been used as a sales and contractors office (1987-2006). The Municipality designated the house in 2007 after an appeal to the Conservation Review Board. When the Jose's purchased the home it had been vacant for some 6-7 years, lived in at time by vagrants' and a number of animals. The roof and basement had been leaking. The home suffered an interior fire in 1941 and there had been some alterations that affected the structure of the home. The Jose's are descendants of the original owner Asa E. Walbridge. The house is one of the oldest homes in Durham Region on its original foundation. Over the past 2-3 years the Jose's with their contractor Jim Sculthorpe and under the watchful eye of(Aunt) Erla Jose have brought the house back to its grandeur of earlier days. Leadership: The Jose's initiated a discussion with the developer/owner of the property. The developer had no interest in conserving the house and was allowing it to disintegrate. The Jose's purchased the property not having seen its condition but rather based on their memory from many years earlier. They Jose's retained a knowledgeable contractor willing to work with the structure, salvage materials and accentuate its historical attributes. A mason restored the stone foundation, a master carpenter exposed the wood post and beam along with its joinery to conserve the integrity with which the house had originally been constructed in 1819. It is the collaboration of the contractor, his craftsmen and the Jose's that has rejuvenated the house while conserving its most noteworthy aspects. This is not a restoration or a renovation the work has demonstrated and embodied the conservation ethic but also incorporated new materials to make the house livable and meet code. Commitment: Patience is required to conserve a loved family treasure. The Jose's took a risk when purchasing the house that its bones were solid and flexible. In many ways it was an act of faith. They then entrusted that faith to their contractor (along with a limited budget) and ample . time. The contractor worked with the Municipality's Heritage Committee, Staff and the process for the salvage of materials from buildings being demolished to make way for Highway 407. Taking materials and fitting them into the house. The true test is when family members come to see the home and marvel at how it has not changed. j i Creativity: Creativity is the combination of everyone working together to achieve that same goal. There are a number of ingenious ways the Jose's and their contractor have showcased the homes' heritage physically. However there have been many other creative ways this house continues to capture people's imaginations. Brian took up the challenge of communicating about the house while it was undergoing its transformation by blogging at becominghome.ca/ The approach the Jose's took with the developer was unconventional but proved successful. Local historical authorities spread the word about the house during the bleak years when it was vacant, through newspaper articles, having it listed on the most endangered sites and keeping j its plight in front of the local Council. I Impact: Many different groups and agencies have a vested interest in this property. The Newcastle Village and District Historical Society has championed the designation and refurbishment of the home. The Clarington Heritage Committee have worked with the owners and contractor to ensure that they have maintained the integrity of the reasons for designation. The Municipality has contributed by providing Community Improvement Plan grants for building fagade, code and permits. The Municipality also provides heritage incentive grants that can be applied for annually for ongoing enhancements and repair. i The Municipality attempted to work with the previous owner to redevelop the home, including offers for development credits and enhanced zoning. It was not until the Jose's became involved that the developer was willing to relinquish the property. Quality of Conservation: The Jose's have not yet moved in; however their belongings have been shipped from England and are stacked in the various rooms as the moulding and doors are being reinstalled. The house is becoming a home again, Brian and Audrey already have favourite spaces that they like to sit or look out from. The house will be showcased during Doors Open 2016 when the celebration of World Newcastle's will be in Newcastle, Ontario. r The 200th anniversary of the first service for Methodism will be November 5th, 2024 and the house is ready to host and carry on for another 200 years because of the high calibre and quality of its conservation. i r r 'r i' 12-94 Attachment 2 to Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-046-15 Ontario Heritage Trust Nominations Year Nominee Category Staff Report 1998 Sher Leetooze Volunteer Service, writing Volunteer Service, Preservation of Phyllis Dewell, Helen Schmid, Cultural Heritage and and Natural 2001 Frank Lockhart Herita a respectively PD-058-01 Dianna Grandfield (Mavis Preservation of Cultural Heritage Carlton, Nancy Miller, Garfield (Bowmanville Book), volunteer 2002 Shaw) ; Janie Dodds service, respectively 2004 Jack Gordon Preservation of Cultural Heritage 2005 Tenzin and Norman G altsan Built Heritage Preservation of Cultural Heritage, Built Heritage and Cultural Myno Van Dyk, Jim and Heritage (Tyrone Mill), Natural Margaret Coombs, Robert Heritage Hawk Ridge Farm, 2006 Shafer, Iry and Kae Harrell respective) PSD-117-06 2008 William Calver (Military Histo Preservation of Cultural Heritage PSD-079-08 Ed Vanhaverbeke, Gabbie 2011 Kirkwood Built Heritage, Youth Award PSD-055-11 Jenni Knox, Bill Patterson, Built Heritage, Lifetime Enfield United Church Achievement and Volunteer 2012 Volunteers Service PSD-038-12 Preservation of Cultural Heritage Garfield Shaw, Karin Murphy (writing), volunteer service (photo and David Reesor, Frank inventory) Lieutenant Governor 2013 Stapleton Award PSD-056-13 Preservation of Cultural Heritage, Lifetime Achievement and 2014 Ron Alldread, Susan Laing I Volunteer Service PSD-051-14 12-95 OffiRgloff Planning Services Report If this information is required in an alternate accessible format, please contact the Municipal Clerk at 905-623-3379 ext. 2102. Report To: Planning and Development Committee Date of Meeting: September 14, 2015 Report Number: PSD-047-15 Resolutions Number: File Number: PLN 34.6.13 Sy-law Number: Report Subject: Clarington Heritage Week 2015 i Recommendations: 1. That Report PSD-047-15 be received for information. ; C I j �I i I I� 12-96 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-047-15 Page 2 Report overview The Clarington Heritage Week Committee has been hosting Heritage Week events since 2013. In previous years the events were held in February, coinciding with Ontario Heritage Week; however, this year the events were moved to August to explore more ways to engage. residents. Clarington Heritage Week has grown each year since 2013 and continued this year, including branding the event with a logo. Heritage Week 2015 focused on guided walking tours of Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Tyrone and Newtonville. Self-guided walking tours were created in the five communities and brochures for the self-guided tours can be picked up at the Clarington Museum and Clarington Tourism. 1. Background In 1985, the Ontario government declared the third week in February Heritage Week province wide. Since that time many organizations within Clarington have used the week to stimulate awareness of heritage resources and heritage-related issues within the Municipality. While many different events were occurring during this week they were often independent of other organizations events and there was a lack of unity between the events throughout the week. In 2012, a number of organizations in Clarington came together to create the Clarington Heritage Week Committee. The Committee included representatives from the Clarington Heritage Committee, Clarington Museum and Archives, Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, Clarington branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society, Clarington Older Adults Association, and the Bowmanville Business Improvement Area. The Clarington Heritage Committee put on Heritage Week events in 2013, 2014, and again in 2015. In 2013 and 2014 the Committee kept Heritage Week in February, coinciding with Heritage Week province wide. While the events in 2013 and 2014 were successful, there was a limit to the type of events that could occur due to the often harsh winter weather during February. In 2015, the committee decided to move Clarington Heritage Week to August 10 to 16. In addition to the change in the timing of the event a new organization, Clarington Tourism, joined the committee. 2. Heritage Week 2015 For the 2015 events a logo was created by the Heritage Week Committee in an attempt to brand the event, helping residents and businesses identify the event for years to come. Branding the event will hopefully encourage other organizations to join and contribute to Heritage Week in the future. 12-97 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-047-15 Page 3 Figure 1: Heritage Week Logo j 0 96, HERITAGE WEEK AUGUST 10 - 16, 2015 The main events in Heritage Week 2015 were guided walking tours in five of the communities in Clarington; Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Tyrone, and Newtonville. The guided tours were led by local experts Charles Taws, Kim Vaneyk, Myno Van Dyke, Erla Jose, Sher Leetooze, and Charles Crowther. The guided walking tours were offered on the same evenings as concert in the park events in the respective communities in an attempt to cross promote and engage residents in multiple events. The Clarington Museum presented a theatrical production to 175 attendees, running the entire week using the Bowmanville Museum, The Jury House, a designated heritage building as the setting. In addition, Eric Bowman's art work of historical buildings in Clarington is on display for the month of August in the mezzanine of the Clarington Library. To add to the momentum and support of Heritage Week 2015 the committee created self- guided historical tour brochures in four of the communities featured during Heritage Week. The Newcastle Village and District Historical Society had previously created a brochure for Newcastle. These brochures will allow residents and visitors to discover the history of these communities on their own time at later dates. The brochures will be available for residents and visitors to pick up at the Clarington Tourism office and at the Sarah Jane Williams Heritage Centre. The brochures have been provided to Council members (under separate cover). Heritage Week was promoted in Clarington and Oshawa This Week, The Orono Times, through rack cards, banners and posters and through social media (Twitter and Facebook). The event was sponsored by Ontario Power Generation. The Committee is exploring the next steps of putting the self-guided tours in an accessible format so they can be posted to the Clarington Tourism and Clarington Heritage websites, allowing users to access the self-guided tours on their mobile devices. 12-98 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-047-15 Page 4 The guided walking tours saw approximately 120 participants, an average of 20 participants per tour, over the six tours (Newcastle held two tours). Bowmanville saw the largest tour with 30 participants. Some participants were non-residents however, the majority were local residents interested in learning more about the communities in Clarington. Many participants attended multiple tours and indicated they would like to see more opportunities to engage in these type of activities in the community. In addition to looking for more opportunities of this kind, participants commented on how much they learned and discovered about Clarington's many communities throughout the week of events. The committee looks forward to continuing to grow Clarington Heritage Week, engaging more organizations and residents, while providing tourism opportunities, as they promote and celebrate Clarington's rich built, cultural and natural heritage. 3. Conclusion Clarington Heritage Week 2015 was the first time that Heritage Week was hosted outside of February. Moving the events into the summer months allowed for the walking tours to be the main focus. In addition, for 2015 the events were held in multiple communities within Clarington. This was a great success as it made Heritage Week 2015 truly Clarington Heritage Week and allowed people to discover areas of the Municipality that they may not often travel to. The self-guided brochures are a legacy of Clarington Heritage Week 2015 that the Heritage Week Committee hopes will lead to more of these initiatives and provides another way to engage residents in Clarington's heritage. The Committee is hoping that branding the event will provide for more support and recognition in future years and allow the event to continue to grow. 4.

E 12-100 `' Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 2 Report Overview This report recommends the approval of a proposed rezoning application at 3211 Highway 35/115 to permit a motor vehicle fuel bar in addition to the other commercial uses already permitted in the Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C4-12) Zone. The applicant is proposing.a convenience store, Tim Horton's restaurant with a drive through facility and a motor vehicle fuel bar. The approval of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will allow for a motor vehicle fuel bar use in the C4-12 exception zone, subject to a holding symbol which will be lifted when the owner enters into a site plan agreement with the Municipality. The subject site currently contains a commercial building and has access from the northbound traffic lane on Highway 35/115, just north of Newcastle Village. 1. Application Details 1.1 Owner: 2346123 Ontario Inc. (Wally Gupta) 1.2 Agent: Cantam Group Ltd. 1.3 Proposal: To permit a motor vehicle fuel bar 1.4 Area: 1.2 Hectares (3.0 acres) , 1.5 Location: 3211 Highway 35/115 1.6 Within Built Boundary: No 2. Background 2.1 The applicant is proposing to build a convenience store, a Tim Horton's restaurant with a drive through facility, and a motor vehicle fuel bar. The Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C4-12) zone allows for all proposed commercial uses on this site, with the exception of a new motor vehicle fuel bar. However, this zone does allow existing motor vehicle fuel bars. 12-101 Municipality of Clarington Report PS®-04815 Page 3 Figure 1: Proposed Site Plan and elevations submitted by applicant r------r—T � !

Since that time, a number of the businesses along the Highway have struggled and disappeared as the result of no longer having access from both the northbound and southbound traffic. The former Ace Submarines restaurant on this subject site has been closed for approximately 10 years. Throughout this-period there has been a transition with new businesses, many are franchises that have been able to renew these commercial sites along the Highway. Figure a: Existing Site Photo 1 -- . 2.3 A public meeting for the subject application was held on June 22, 2015. At the meeting, two members of the public were in objection to the proposed application on the basis of competition. 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The surrounding uses are as follows: North: Commercial (gas stations, retail, restaurants) and institutional (high school) South and East: Former golf driving range and agricultural land West: Divided highway 115/35 12-103 Municipality of Clarington Report PS®-048-15 Page 5 Figure 3: Surrounding Land Uses � � - tlblic High School t � Resta rant • Agriculture ail F 1 �P- ,,C*n ercial z 5 ; An ` a } Former l #subject Range I I , Lands 441P +� tio 4. Provincial Policy Provincial Policy Statement 4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) contains policies on the rural areas in municipalities. Rural Areas are important to the economic success of the Province and our quality of life. It is important to leverage rural assets and amenities as a foundation for a sustainable economy. 4.2 The rural areas often have unique characteristics and are interdependent with urban areas sharing markets, resources and amenities. Rural areas can be supported by promoting regeneration, including the redevelopment of brownfield sites. Brownfield sites are underdeveloped or previously developed properties that may be contaminated. They are usually, but not exclusively, former industrial or commercial properties that may be underutilized, derelict or vacant. Once cleaned up, they have the potential to be revitalized for other such uses. 4.3 The policies of the PPS also promote diversification of the economic base and employment opportunities through goods and services. It also states that new development proposed along transportation corridors should be compatible with and supportive of the long term purpose of the corridor. 12-104 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 6 4.4 Given that the site is located along a transportation corridor and the fact that it is a redevelopment of a brownfield site, this proposal should be supported as it is an asset to the long-term economic prosperity of this highway corridor. This site has existed as a commercial property for over 30 years. This proposal is consistent with the PPS, as it provides for redevelopment of a vacant commercial site which will create new employment opportunities and support local businesses and the larger community. 5. Official Plans Durham Regional Official Plan 5.1 The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands "Prime Agricultural Area". Prime Agricultural Areas permit a full range of agricultural, agricultural related and secondary uses. 5.2 Policy 14.5.4 of the Plan permits the continuation, expansion or enlargement of uses which do not conform to the policies of the Plan. Local councils may pass a zoning by-law to permit the continuation, expansion or enlargement of the legally existing uses, or the variation to similar uses. 5.3 The current proposal to permit a new motor vehicle fuel bar, is considered a variation to a similar use. The Region of Durham has provided their comments and advised that the proposal is considered to be in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan. Clarington Official Plan 5.4 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands "Prime Agricultural Area". High quality agricultural lands are to be protected for farming. However, similar to the Region of Durham, the Clarington Official Plan has policies in Section 23.5.3 of the Plan which permits Council to pass a by-law recognizing the continuation, expansion or enlargement of non-conforming uses, or the variations to similar uses. 5.5 Allowing for a motor vehicle fuel bar is considered an additional and very similar commercial use in the Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C4-12) Zone. It is also similar to the commercial uses permitted along the highway corridor. It will not fragment agricultural lands and it allows the site to be revitalized. The proposal conforms to the Clarington Official Plan. 6. Zoning By-law 6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands "Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C4-12)". Although the zone permits existing motor vehicle fuel bars, along with a number of other commercial uses, it does not permit the establishment of a new motor vehicle fuel bar. The owner is seeking an amendment to the "Special Purpose Commercial Exception (C4-12) Zone" in order to facilitate the proposed development, to include a motor vehicle fuel bar. 12-105 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 7 I 6.2 When the current Zoning By-law was adopted, the subject lands were determined to be a Special Purpose Commercial use instead of a Service Station use. In 1985 (one year after the Zoning By-law was in effect), a subsequent amendment was made to this zone category to recognize only existing service stations in the Special Purpose Commercial Zone. The intent was to only allow new motor vehicle fuel bars in the "Service Station Commercial Zone" category instead of any other zone categories. 7. Summary of Background Studies i 7.1 The Owner's consultant submitted five studies in support of the application. A summary of j their conclusions is provided below: Planning Rationale Report 7.2 A Planning Rationale Report was submitted by Kirkness Consulting Inc. in support of the I additional motor vehicle fuel bar use. The report indicates-that the site is considered appropriate for a motor vehicle fuel bar given: • its high visibility along the highway; • the ease of access to the site; • the relatively large size of the site; and • the fact that Highway 35/115 has seen a substantial increase in daily traffic rates over the past 10 years. The use is compatible with surrounding land uses in this area. There are a number of similar developments with a gas bar in this area. Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment 7.3 A Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessment, prepared by WSP Canada Inc., was submitted in support of the application. The report indicated that no gas stations or automotive repair facilities have reportedly ever existed on site. The report concluded that soil and groundwater readings at this location detected elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbons likely generated by historic gas stations on surrounding properties. The I report recommends-further soil and groundwater testing. Water Supply Assessment 7.4 A Water Supply Assessment was prepared by WSP Canada Inc. The site is to be serviced with a new well. A test well was installed to evaluate the site water supply. Based on the estimated water use for the proposed commercial development, the test well is considered to be a low yielding well. A water storage tank is recommended to j assist with peak pumping demand. Based on the test findings, the proposed ground water use should not interfere with other existing water systems in the local area. The existing well will need to be decommissioned. 12-106 r Municipality of clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 8 Geotechnical Investigation 7.5 This report was prepared by Patriot Engineering Limited to determine the soil and groundwater conditions. The report indicates that conventional footings and slab-on- grade techniques shall be used. It is recommended that the foundation drawings be reviewed by Patriot Engineering Limited for general conformance with the geotechnical recommendations. Also, no major groundwater problems are anticipated with the excavation of the building foundation. The report concludes that the site can be developed for the proposed use, provided that the recommendations in the report are satisfied. Traffic Impact Study 7.6 A Traffic Impact Study was prepared by Mark Engineering. The Traffic Study was based on a week-long traffic count in July, which included Saturday peak hour volumes. There is a wider shoulder that is marked as a right turn lane in some locations along the Highway which operates as a right turn lane throughout its length. The forecasted traffic is higher than usual due to the Tim Hortons restaurant. The report indicates that there is sufficient capacity in the road system to serve the forecasted demand and that there will be sufficient gaps in the traffic to serve the existing demand. However, drivers will have to wait for adequate gaps to occur. The report concludes that no improvements to the highway are necessary to serve the proposed development. 8. Public Notice and Submissions 8.1 Public notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act prior to the Public Meeting on June 22, 2015. At the meeting, two property owners within the area spoke in opposition of the application. One additional written inquiry was received after the Public Meeting. The main concerns are outlined below: • Market competition (there are a number of gas stations already existing along this stretch of the highway and there is concern that an additional motor vehicle fuel bar will over saturate the market); • Increase in traffic congestion; • Loss of privacy. There is an existing single family dwelling to the south of the subject lands which also contains the golf driving range; and • Increase in litter. 8.2 At the meeting the consultant acting on behalf of the Owner of the subject lands indicated that market competition is not a planning consideration unless it impacts the planned function of the area. 8.3 The increase in traffic congestion was not raised as a concern in the Traffic Impact Study that was prepared. No further studies have been brought forward to indicate otherwise. 12-107 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 9 8.4 The applicant has indicated that they will be working with adjacent property owners to address issues such as privacy and litter as part of the site plan. The applicants have shown on the proposed landscape plan, a 4 meter landscape buffer on the north and south side of the property to address issues such as privacy. The landscape buffer shows a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs. The applicant is also proposing a fully enclosed garbage building to reduce odors and the amount of litter on site. 9. Agency Comments Regional Municipality of Durham 9.1 The Region of Durham considers a motor vehicle fuel bar to be an expansion and a variation to a similar use, which once contained an eating establishment. The Region considers the application to conform to the Regional Official Plan. 9.2 The Region requires that a Record of Site Condition be filed with the Ministry of � Environment and Climate Change. An "Acknowledgement Letter" from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, which acknowledges the Record of Site Condition and indicates the site has not been selected for audit, shall then be provided to the Region. 9.3 The Regional Health Department has indicated that the daily design sewage flow is greater than 10,000 litres/day therefore, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change should be contacted in order to determine servicing capacity for this site. Ministry of Transportation 9.4 The Ministry of Transportation has no objection to the proposed gas bar use in principle but there are a number of comments that will need to be addressed at the site plan stage of this development. 10. Departmental Comments Engineering Services f 10.1 The Engineering Services Department has reviewed the application and has no objection to the,proposed use in principle. The applicant will be required to satisfy the Engineering Services Department prior to final approval of the site plan for the subject property. Emergency and Fire Services 10.2 The Emergency and Fire Services Department has no objection to the gas bar use. However, on-site water supply for firefighting may be required. 11. Discussion 11.1 The applicant is proposing a motor vehicle fuel bar with a convenience store and a Tim Norton's restaurant with a drive through facility. The rezoning application is only required to permit the motor vehicle fuel bar. The convenience store and restaurant uses are 12-108 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 10 already permitted on this site. The proposed development will replace an existing vacant restaurant building (Ace Submarines). 11.2 The subject property was previously rezoned in 1994 from "Special Purpose Commercial (C4)" to a site specific exception zone to allow for a convenience store in addition to the other permitted uses in the C4 Zone. The proposed development at that time was also subject to a site plan agreement. Site plan approval was granted however the site-was never developed. The site plan approval expired on July 22, 1996 due to the project being abandoned by the property owner. The zoning permissions for the convenience store remained in place but a new site plan application is required. 11.3 In the past there have been similar instances where the "Special Purpose Commercial (C4) Zone" has been amended for other properties along Highway 35/115. They allowed for similar type of uses to be permitted as an extension to the existing commercial permissions granted on these properties in order to allow businesses to adapt to evolving market trends. 11.4 It is clear from the preceding paragraphs and the public input received that there are a number of issues with the site design. Many can be addressed by appropriate traffic management and through the implementation of the site plan. The following sections detail how the issues identified can be addressed. Site Contamination 11.5 A Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment was submitted by the applicant. The Assessment indicated elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbons on the site, but that the source of the contamination may have been caused by other surrounding fuel bars. The applicant must fulfil the Regions comments prior to site plan approval, including providing satisfactory information to the Region of Durham that any on-site contamination is within the acceptable limits of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change by filing a Record of Site Condition with the Ministry and providing the "Acknowledgement Letter." Site Servicinq 11.6 The proposal will be on private'services as municipal water and sanitary sewers are not available. The Durham Region Health Department does not have approval jurisdiction over the septic design. In this case, private services must be provided to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change as a condition of approval. As a result of this, a holding provision has been incorporated into the proposed zoning by-law amendment requiring that services be provided or provisions be made with the Ministry of Environment prior to lifting the holding. 12-109 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 11 Transportation 11.7 The Region of Durham Division indicates that the proposed amendment does not present any significant Regional transportation impacts. The subject property fronts Highway 35/115, which is the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation. 11.8 The Ministry of Transportation has indicated that a Building & Land Use permit is required for the proposed development, along with an entrance permit for any changes to the entrance on Highway 35/115. The Traffic Impact Study will need to be revised to demonstrate that all vehicular movements can be safely accommodated to, from and within the site. Concerns were raised by the Ministry regarding separation between existing entrances on neighbouring properties, in order to mitigate weaving issues and unnecessary conflict points, they recommend amalgamating with either the neighbouring properties to the north and south or obtaining an entrance permit that is mutually agreed to with adjacent property owners. 11.9 Since both the applicant and the adjacent property owners to the north and south need to be in agreement with the design of the entrance, it is recommended that this be a condition of the holding on the property. Market Competition with other Gas Stations 11.10 Concern was raised at the public meeting that the combination of Tim Hortons, a convenience store and the gas station provided a significant market advantage that would negatively impact other service stations. While this may be the case, it is not the Municipality's role to regulate market competition except to the extent that it may negatively impact the planned function of an area, such as a downtown. This is not the case here. The Municipality's Official Plan does not identify this area as a commercial precinct; it is designated for agricultural purposes. However, the existing commercial uses that preceded the Official Plan were recognized in the Zoning By-law. We anticipate that all businesses along the 35/115 will evolve to meet market changes. While these lands are permitted to continue with evolve and hopefully be occupied by successful businesses, there is no planned function identified in the Official Plan that is threatened by this application. Stormwater 11.11 The Ministry of Transportation and the Clarington Engineering Services Department are responsible for commenting on the stormwater management of the property. They have indicated that the Stormwater Management for the site will be reviewed at the site plan application stage when a grading and drainage plan is prepared in detail, as well as a stormwater management brief. Holding Symbol r 11.12 In consideration of the Ministry of Transportation comments and other concerns raised by the public, to remove the holding symbol on the property will only be lifted at such time as the applicant has entered into a site plan agreement with the Municipality and satisfied the requirements of all agencies and departments. 12-110 I' Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-048-15 Page 12 11.13 Prior to the lifting of the holding symbol the applicant is required to enter into a site plan agreement with the Municipality of Clarington that addresses: landscaping buffers.to address the issue of privacy on adjacent properties; highway entrance approvals to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Transportation; • stormwater management to the satisfaction of the Ministry of.Transportation and the Municipality of Clarington Engineering Department; • site contamination to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and the Region of Durham; and site servicing to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. 11.14 The application has been reviewed within the context of the Regional and Clarington Official Plans, and the nature of the development along Highway 351115. Staff are of the opinion that the addition of a new motor vehicle fuel bar as a permitted use is compatible with the surrounding properties and supports the objectives for economic development and the rejuvenation of the existing commercial properties along Highway 35/115. In addition, staff note that other properties in the surrounding area have similar zone provisions to those sought by the applicant. 11.15 The Finance Department advises that taxes have been paid in full as of August 28, 2015. 12. Conclusion 12.1 In consideration of the comments received from the circulated agencies and staff comments, the approval of the attached zoning by-law amendment is recommended to permit a motor vehicle fuel bar and further that a by-law will be brought forward to Council to remove the holding symbol at such time as a site plan agreement has been executed and all agency and department comments have been addressed. 13. Strategic Plan Application 13.1 This conforms to the Strategic Plan as it facilitates the expansion of jobs and the attraction of new businesses. Submitted b . y Reviewed by: r Da J.

I own property at the rear of 3280 Tooley Road legally known as Part 2 of Plan 1011-4051, comprising of 7048 square meters, currently zoned (H)R1. I have owned this property since 1981. The Part 2 parcel was created by severance from the 3280 Tooley Road property in 1991. 1 respectfully request that Committee not endorse the recommendations of PSD-042-15 with respect to deletion of major portions of the Holding Zone provisions contained within section 3.11 of Zoning By-law 84-63 as they will further restrict the uses permitted on my property will further complicate the process involved in the removal of the Holding designation to allow future development. I have had extensive history with the Municipality of Clarington with respect to this property. When I purchased the property I did my due diligence and determined that the property was located within the Courtice Urban Area, was designated for full municipal services, and was zoned R1 residential. Prior to the passage of Zoning By-Law 84-63 1 was assured by Clarington planning staff that the impact of the addition of a Holding symbol to the zoning would only have the effect of forcing me to construct any dwelling close to Tooley Road, where the zoning remained R1, rather than the rear of the property. A revised Official Plan was put forward in or around 1996 and, in its original form, targeted my property for a woodlot/parkland designation. I expressed my concerns with this proposal and eventually reached a two part agreement with Clarington. Part 1 involved the removal of the wood lot/pa rkland designation prior to the Official Plan going forward. This removal was specifically endorsed by Council of the day. Part 2, which occurred subsequent to my appeal of the Official Plan to the Ontario Municipal Board, involved the creation and approval of a Neighbourhood Plan that specifically addressed the form of development on the land. That agreement to create that neighbourhood plan led to my appeal (Referral, No.4) being dealt with in a mutually agreed upon manner at an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on September 30, 1997. While not the direct topic of tonight's discussion, I continue to have concerns with respect to both the upcoming revised Official Plan and the upcoming revised Neighbourhood Plan as I believe both documents, if approved, will limit my land to Environmental Protection uses. As far as I am concerned, I had, and continue to have, an agreement with Clarington that will permit development of the property based on an R1 Zoning designation at the conclusion of the normal approval process. i i i I I am therefore actively pursuing preparation of a Plan for residential development of the property, I have retained a consultant to prepare a concept plan for preconsultation purposes and have had a Biologist walk the site to give an opinion on environmental constraints. He did not find anything particularly noteworthy on the property. I have also had a Forester visit the site and prepare a tree removal plan (in accordance with good forestry practice). The current By-Law, as drafted, provides clear direction on issues and requirements that must be addressed and resolved prior to lifting of the H designation. The proposed change in language will adversely affect the future uses of my property. The settlement previously reached was based, in part, or the current language in section 3.11 of Zoning By-Law 84-63,which I intend to comply with as I move my applications forward. The specific wording is "The (H) Holding Symbol may be removed upon Council being satisfied that the uses to be permitted will be adequately serviced, the lands to be used have adequate access, prior uses of the land will not prevent the use of the land for the purposes intended by the By-law, that the lands and proposed uses will be adequately protected from any physical or man made hazard or conditions associated with the lands, that the agreements in respect of such matters and the associated financial requirements where required, have been executed with the Municipality of Clarington and the Owner has satisfied all of the requirements of the Regional Municipality of Durham with respect to the provision of sewer and water services and Regional roads and entered into any necessary agreements in this regard," I respectfully request that the proposed amendments to Zoning By-Law 84-63 with respect to removal or lifting of the H designation not be changed, or that they be deferred until such time as they can be matched up with the new Official Plan and the resultant new Zoning By-Law.
