OF DARLINGTON OUR FILE: DEV 86-22 RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-143-86 be received; and 2. THAT the application submitted by Mr. Sol to rezone a parcel of land being Part of Lot 21 , Concession 2, former Township of Darlington to permit the development of * one (1) additional residential lot be approved, and that the by-law attached hereto be forwarded to Council for approval . BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On March 13, 1986 Staff received, from the Land Division Committee, an application (LD 147/86) submitted by Mr. Sol thereby requesting the severance for residential purposes. In commenting to the Land Division Committee, Staff noted that within By-law 84-63, being the Town' s Comprehensive Zoning By-law, the subject lands were located within the "Agricultural (A) " zone. Section 6.2 entitled "Regulations for Residential Uses" states that farm-related residences and residential buildings and structures on lots which are created by severance in accordance with the Durham Regional Official Plan shall comply with the zone requirements set out in Section 9.2 (Residential Hamlet) . Furthermore, it . . .2 REPORT NO.: PD-143-86 Page 2 it was noted that a severance would have to be in compliance with the appr•opr•iate provisions within the Durham Regional Official Plan; being either- a farm-related severance or- in compliance with Section 10.2 entitled "Rural Settlements". Staff did acknowledge that on the application form submitted for- Committee' s consideration, the applicant had indicated that he wished to create a non-farm related residential lot. In consideration of same, Staff provided a recommendation of denial inasmuch as the severance did not comply with the provisions of By-law 84-63, being the Town' s Comprehensive Zoning By-law. Accordingly on April 4, 1986, the Planning Department received an i application for- r-ezoning from Mr-. Sol to per-mit, through the recognition of a Node or- Cluster-, the development of an additional r•esi denti al lot. Within the Region of Durham Official Plan the subject pr•oper-ty is located within the "Major- Open Space" designation. Staff would note in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.1 .2 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, the development of new non-farm residential uses shall generally be discouraged. However-, limited non-farm residential dwellings may be allowed in the form of infilling within the "General Agr•icultur•al " areas and the "Major, Open Space System" as designated on Map "A" if it is deemed desirable by the Council of the respective area municipality and is recognized in the Zoning By-law. Infilling is defined in Section 10.2.1 .4 of the Durham Plan as situations where one or- more non-farm r-esi denti al dwellings ar-e to be located between two buildings located on the same side of a public road and within a distinct Node or- Cluster of non-farm residential dwellings in such a manner- as not to contribute to strip or- ribbon development and subject to such a Node or- Cluster- being identified in the respective Zoning By-law. Staff would note for- the Committee' s information that pursuant to Council 's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the r-equir•ements of the Planning Act, the appr•opr•iate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands. Staff would note that no objections to the proposal were received at the writing of this report with respect to the amendment requested. . . .3 ��> REPORT NO.: PD-143-86 Page 3 In accordance with departmental pr•ocedur•es, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other- departments and agencies as noted within Staff Report PD-98-86. Staff would note the following departments/agencies, in providing comments, offered no objections to the application as filed. 1 . Town of Newcastle Building Department 2. Town of Newcastle Public Works Department 3. Town of Newcastle Fire Department 4. Ontario Hydro 5. Peter•bor•ough-Victor•i a-Nor•thumber•l and and Newcastle Roman Catholic Separate School B oard 6. Central Lake Ontar-io Conser-vation Authority 7. Ontar-io Hydro i The Durham Regional Health Unit, in responding, noted that the application for- rezoning has been investigated and insofar- as health matters were concerned, there were no objections to the approval . Further- clarification was offered, however-, noting this was not to be taken as a permit to install a private sewage disposal system at the site involved. The requested permit would be issued only after- a proper- inspection of the lands involved have been made and said inspection carr-ied out upon r•ece i pt of a formal application. The Region of Durham Planning Department provided the following response: "In response to your- request for- comments, we note the subject pr•oper•ty is designated "Major- Open Space" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. In accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.1.2 of the Durham Plan the development of new non-farm residential uses shall generally be discouraged. However-, limited non-farm residential dwellings may be allowed in the form of infilling within the "General Agr•icultur•al " areas and the "Major- Open Space System" as designated on Map "A" if it is deemed desi r•ab le by the Council of the r-espective area municipality and is recognized in the Zoning By-law. Infilling is defined in Section 10.2.4.1 of the Durham Plan as situations where one or- more non-farm r•esi denti al dwellings ar-e to be located between two buildings located on the same side of a public road and within a distinct Node or- Cluster- of non-farm r•esi denti al dwellings in such a manner, as not to contribute to strip or- ribbon development and subject to such a Node or- Cluster- being identified in the respective Zoning By-laws. The proposed residential use may be permitted if it can be demonstrated that the proposal meets the above provisions of the Durham Regional Official Plan." . . .4 REPORT NO.: PD-143-86 Page 4 In consideration of the above response and inasmuch as the designation is contained within the Durham Regional Official Plan, Staff requested the Region' s inter•pr•etation of this document and clean indication as to the Official Plan designation for- the subject pr•oper•ty. Fur-ther. to the above, Staff was advised that inasmuch as the determination of the Official Plan conformity would r•equir•e detailed site specific investigations, Regional Staff would rely on Town of Newcastle' s analyses and Staff' s consultation with Town Council to determine if the proposal meets the infilling cr•iter•ia as defined in the Durham Regional Official Plan. I The Ministry of Agriculture and Food - Foodland Pr-eser-vation Branch, in r-esponding, noted that in consideration of the goals and objectives of the Ministry and the cr•iter•ia and policies outlined in the Foodland Guidelines, Ministry Staff would have no objections to the proposal . The cr•i ter•i a for, a Node or Cluster- development states that a r-ur•al Node or- Cluster- is defined as an area of r•ur•al non-farm related residential development containing a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of six (6) existing lots which exhibit similar- lot char•acter•istics. It is Staff's * opinion that the existing lot development (see attached plan) would satisfy this r•equir•ement. Staff would note for- the Committee' s and applicant's information that the proposed lot size as submitted has been increased in depth to comply with i the minimum lot area r•equir•ements contained within the "(RC) Rural Cluster-" zone. In consideration of the above-noted comments and revision to the lot size as proposed, Staff would have no objections to the approval of the by-law * amendment attached hereto.
