SUBJECT: TOWN OF NEWCASTLE SIGN BY-LAW
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE
DARLINGTON AUTO SALES - MR. F. SHANE
OUR FILE: Pln 8.5(b)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-104-86 be received; and
2. THAT the application submitted by Darlington Auto Sales for a variance from the
Town of Newcastle Sign By-law, in respect of a roof sign, be denied and the
applicant so advised.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
On April 3, 1986 Staff received an application from Mr. Frank Shane, the Owner of
Darlington Auto Sales, requesting a variance from By-law 76-25, as amended, to permit
erection of a roof sign. Mr. Shane's application was supported by two (2) pieces of
correspondence from adjacent property owners which correspondence indicated that those
persons favoured a roof sign over a ground sign.
Staff note that the property subject of the application is currently the subject of a
number of charges relative to the Ontario Building Code and the Town of Newcastle's Zoning

By-law. In that regard, the building upon which the sign has already been
erected contravenes the Ontario Building Code and the Town of Newcastle
Zoning By-law. The building upon which it is located was situated on the
site without benefit of a building permit as was a small shed immediately to
the east of said building. The proposed sign would be contrary to the
intent of the Sign By-law in three (3) respects and Staff do not feel that a
variance is warranted.
In the first instance, the sign was erected without benefit of a permit, in
the second, the by-law contains a specific prohibition on roof signs, and in
the third instance, the sign by-law requires that a permit not be issued in
a case where the erection of a sign would indicate or abet the contravention
of any zoning by-law or regulation enforcable in the Corporation of the Town
of Newcastle.
Inasmuch as the erection of a building on this lot, for the use as an
Automobile Sales Office, contravenes the provisions of By-law 84-63, a Sign
Permit is not available at all . In order to obtain a Sign Permit, the use
must be legalized. Town Staff are of the opinion that to do so the property
owner will require an amendment to the Official Plan for the Bowmanville
Urban Area, an amendment to the Town of Newcastle Zoning By-law, execution
of a Development Agreement with the Town of Newcastle, and issuance of a
building permit.
The applicant's request for a variance to permit issuance of a sign permit
and the erection of a roof sign would, in Staff' s opinion , significantly
contravene the intent of the Sign By-law and we would therefore recommend
that the variance not be granted.
