REPORT NO.: PD-105-86 Page 2
In reviewing the requests, Staff note that the Ontario Heritage Act, Part
IV, empowers a municipality to designate a Property within the Municipality
to be of historic or architectural value or interest. As well , Staff note
that Sections 7.2.11 and 8.2.10 of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan
provide that Council , upon the advise of L .A.C.A.C., may designate specific
structures or sites having historical or architectural significance under
the Ontario Heritage Act. These policies, however, only apply to properties
located within the Urban Areas of Bowmanville and Newcastle Village. The
Town of Newcastle Official Plan and the Durham Regional Official Plan are
silent on the designation of sites within Hamlets or within the rural areas
of the Town.
The following is a summary of Official Plan policies and zoning by-law
designations as they relate to each property.
117 Queen Street, Bowmanville
Town of Newcastle Official Plan - "Community Facilities"
By-law 84-63 - "Rl-Urban Residential Type One"
9-11 Duke Street, Bowmanville
Town of Newcastle Official Plan - "Low Density Residential "
By-law 84-63 - "Rl-Urban Residential Type One"
Orono Town Hall
Town of Newcastle Official Plan - "Hamlet"
By-law 84-63 - "C1-2 - General Commercial Special Exception Two"
John Stalker House, Part Lot 30, Concession 6, Clarke

ow
The proposed historical designation of the four (4) subject properties
would not offend the intent of Official Plan policies or By-law 84-63. With
respect to Official Plan, the designation of 117 Queen Street, Bowmanville
as "Community Facilities", Planning Staff have been advised by the Community
Services Department that the designation of the subject property as an
historical site would not conflict with the Town's plans for that area.
COMMENTS:
Inasmuch as the proposed historical designation for the four (4) subject
properties would not offend the intent of Official Plan policies and the
Comprehensive Zoning By-law, Staff would have no objection to their
designation as heritage properties.
In accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act, where Council
intends to designate a property to be of historic or architectural value , it
must provide notice of intention after consultation with L.A.C.A.C.
However, since the subject requests have been initiated by the Local
Advisory Committee, Council may, if it deems advisable, proceed to provide
notice of intent to designate in accordance with the requirements prescribed
by the Ontario Heritage Act.
Therefore, it would be appropriate for Council to approve the requests and
to initiate the necessary procedures.
