BACKGROUND:
On February 15th, 1983, the Region of Durham advised the
Town of Newcastle that it had received an application to
amend the Durham Region Official Plan. The application,
submitted by Mr. W. Klose, requested the redesignation of a
4 hectare (10 acre) parcel of land in Part Lot 25,
Concession 5, Clarke, from Permanent Agricultural Reserve to
Major Open Space to permit the operation of an exotic cat
sanctuary.
The subject parcel is currently occupied by the Havelberg
Dog Academy, which includes commercial kennels and
commercial dog training arena, an exercise run and a pet
cemetery, as well as a single family dwelling. The proposed
sanctuary would be operated in addition to the present uses.
The cat sanctuary is not considered a permitted use in the
Permanent Agricultural Reserve. The Durham Region Official
Plan permits an area municipality to rezone a parcel to
permit the expansion of an existing use that does not
conform to the designations and provisions of the Official
Plan. However, the Region of Durham does not consider the
establishment of the exotic cat sanctuary as an expansion to
the existing use. Therefore, an Official Plan Amendment is
required to permit the establishment of the cat sanctuary.
In accordance with Departmental procedures, the application
was circulated to the appropriate Town Departments for
comments. As well , the Region of Durham provided copies of
comments they received as a result of their circulation of
the proposed amendment. The following is a summary of the
comments received.

COMMENTS:
Staff note that the proposed exotic cat sanctuary would be
operated as a commercial operation. Although the sanctuary
cannot be considered as an expansion to the existing
commercial kennel operation, the establishment of a
commercial cat sanctuary would be compatible with the
existing uses, as well as with the other commercial uses
along Highway 35/115.
Staff also note that there were no concerns raised as a
result of the circulation of the Official Plan Amendment
application. It is therefore recommended that the Region be
advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objections to this
amendment.
The subject parcel is zoned "A-Agricultural " in By-law 1592
I
of the former Township of Clarke. Should the Official Plan
Amendment application be approved by the Region of Durham,
