That Report PD-55-83 be received; and 2. That application for rezoning; our file DEV 82-38, in respect of Strathaven. Nursing Home be approved; and 3. That the attached By-law,to amend By-law 1587, as amended, be forwarded to Council for * approval . d i Report No: PD-55-83 .. ./2 BACKGROUND: In December of 1982, the Town received an application for rezoning, submitted on behalf of Strathaven Nursing Home, to amend Zoning By-law 1587, as amended. The proposed rezoning would recognize the existing nursing home facilities ; permit an expansion thereto. The site is presently designated "Main Central Area" within the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area and the Regional Municipality of Durham. Community uses, such as nursing homes, are generally permitted within the "Main Central Area" as designated by the Official Plan. In this regard, the expansion of the existing nursing home would appear to be in conformity with the plans. COMMENTS: In accordance with Department procedures , the subject proposal was circulated to a number of departments and agencies to obtain their input. The majority of the comments received did not identify any major objections to the application, but did highlight concerns related to the site plan which will be dealt with through the site plan approval process. The site plan application is presently under review by Town staff. Region of Durham - Planning Department January 7, 983 "In response to your request for comments, we wish to advise that the subject site is located within the Bowmanville "Main Central Area" designated in the Durham Regional Official Plan. The nursing home is permitted within this designation. Although Section 8.2.3.1 requires the preparation of a district plan for the Main Central Area, zoning by-laws may be passed prior to the preparation of a district plan for community facilities such as nursing homes. Report No: PD-55-83 . . ./3 We note that the site is within the Main Central Area designated in the Regional Council approved Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area. The site is also identified as Community Facilities in the Predominant Use Areas identified in the Main Central Area. Proposal appears to conform. We will provide you with our comments with respect to the provision of Regional services when our investigation is complete." February 11 , 1983 "Further to our letter dated January 7, 1983, we wish to advise that municipal water supply and sanitary sewer facilities are available to the proposed development. Also, we understand that the proposed expansion will provide additional bed space for the existing Nursing Home. However, we would respectfully request that this Department - be notified if any separate self-contained units are contemplated within the expansion area." Town of Newcastle - Works Department "We have reviewed the above-mentioned site plan and find we have no objection to this rezoning as submitted. Our comments and recommendations regarding this application are as follows: - A 0.86n metre road widening as shown on the attached should be dedicated to the Town; - The site drainage should be controlled on site or by means of a catch basin and a storm sewer connection; - The abandoned entrance should have the drop curb replaced with a concrete barrier curb (to match the existing) and the paved boulevard should be restored in kind; - The two existing entrances should be curbed and modified as shown on the attached to conform to the Town's Entranceway Policy; - Sidewalk depths at the entrances should comply with our STD. NS-231 ; - Construction materials for the entrance to be of: 75 mm of Hot Mix Asphalt, 75 mm of Granular 'A' and 250 mm of Granular 'B' ." Report No: PD-55-83 .../4 Town of Newcastle - Fire Department "The Fire Department has no objection to the proposed application. Building plans and approvals will be under the jurisdiction of the Engineering Branch, Office of the Fire Marshal . Access driveways for fire department vehicles must be minimum of 12 feet in clear width, when it connects the public thoroughfare with a 20 ft. fire route:" Town of Newcastle - Building Department "no objections to rezoning proposed" It is staff's understanding that the applicant proposes to demolish the chiropractic clinic immediately to the east of the nursing home and construct a three-storey addition to the existing facilities. The additional parking requirements generated as a result of the addition would then be provided on the lands immediately to the west of the nursing home. The property upon which the addition and the parking facilities are proposed are under the separate ownership of "Ruth Lena Beaucage", whereas the nursing home facility itself is registered in the name of "Beaucage Holdings Limited". Within the context of Zoning By-law 1587, as amended, off-street parking facilities are to be provided and maintained upon the same lot on which the principle use is located. Technically speaking, this requirement would then stipulate that any parking proposed for the addition is to be provided upon the same lot. Staff, however, would have no objection to the locating of a portion of the parking required upon the rear portion of the property immediately to the west of the nursing home presently owned by Ruth Lena Beaucage. Although the additional parking is not "legally" located on the proper portion of the property as defined in the By-law, staff note for Committee's information, that both parcels owned by Ruth Lena Beaucage and Beaucage Holdings Limited (nursing home) are components of the site plan drawings as submitted and are technically being developed as one project. Report No: PD-55-83 .. ./5 The present nursing home facilities have a capacity for one hundred and twelve (112) beds. The information submitted indicates that the proposed addition could increase the capacity by ninety-six (96) to a total of two-hundred and eight (208) beds, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Health being obtained. The parking requirements within By-law 79-44 of the Village of Newcastle reflect the most up-dated and approved parking standards within the Town for this type of facility, being one (1 ) space per five (5) beds. Using this figure, a total of forty-two (42) spaces would be required. The site plan presently under review illustrates that a total of fifty (50) spaces are being proposed. Staff on several occasions have inspected the existing parking facilities and found a - range between six (6) to fifteen (15) spaces occupied of the total of forty (40) presently on site (fifteen percent (15%) to thirty-seven percent (37%) capacity). Discussions with the nursing home staff would indicate that the largest number of employees would occur during the day shift, where presently twenty-three (23) are employed. To the best of staff's knowledge, no objections have been received relating to the parking facilities for the nursing home. Nor were any objections or comments received as a result of the posting of the required public notification sign on the subject lands. Within the context of the application, the applicant has indicated that the proposed date of construction for all buildings and structures has not been determined until -- receipt of approval of the Ministry of Health for the additional beds. It is staff's understanding that in order for additional beds to be approved, the applicant is required to contact the Durham Regional District Health Council and request a survey of the needs within that vicinity to be forwarded on to the Ministry of Health for approval . Report No: PD-55-83 ../6 Staff of the local Health Council have indicated that a request was forwarded to the Ministry last April in a Report entitled "Update on Long Term Care in Durham Region" requesting an additional forty (40) beds be approved for the Oshawa-Bowmanville Area. Apparently an additional comment was attached to this report, stating that if the beds were not received immediately, an increase at a rate of thirty-three percent (33%) per year would result. The Ministry of Health apparently has not replied to this request to date. When a request is forwarded on to the Ministry for approval for the licencing of additional beds, and is approved by the Ministry subject to funding being available, the Ministry puts out a tender requesting any applicants to submit their needs, and how they will meet the needs to provide the additional beds. It is entirely possible that the additional beds which the Ministry would approve would not go entirely to one facility. Staff acknowledges that the Strathaven Nursing Home requires the Town 's approval with respect to rezoning and site plan, however this does not necessarily mean that the approval by the Ministry of additional beds will be received in the immediate future. However, the Town 's approval will facilitate Strathaven's application to the Ministry and ensure the potential for meeting local nursing care requirements. Resp ful ted, T. T. Edwards, M.C. I.P.
