Report No: PD-104-83 .. ./2
BACKGROUND:
In April of 1983, the Town received an application for
rezoning submitted on behalf of W. Frank Real Estate Limited
to amend Zoning By-law 1587, as amended. The proposed
rezoning would permit the use of the existing 1 -112 storey
brick dwelling unit, known municipally as 196 King Street
East, for a real estate office.
The site is presently designated "Main Central Area" within
the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area, and the
Regional Municipality of Durham. A full intregrated array
of shopping, personal and business services, offices ,
residential , social , cultural and recreational activities
are permitted within such a designation. Accordingly, the
proposal would conform with the plans.
Circulation :
In accordance with Departmental 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.
Town of Newcastle Works Department
e have reviewed the above application for rezoning and we
have no objection to this application provided that the
applicant enter into a site plan agreement with the Town."
Town of Newcastle Building Department
'77-Fe—application is approved, Tt is possible the change
of occupancy will require a building permit, depending of
course on what work is proposed in the building.
Also, compliance with the Sign By-law should be mentioned to
the owner."

Report No: PD-104-83 . . ./2
Town of Newcastle - Fire Department
"The Fire Department has no objection to the proposed
application. Response time and travel distance for
emergency fire service is acceptable.
Water supply for fire protection, fire hydrant is located
within 300 feet of building to be protected."
Regional Municipality of Durham - Planning Department
"Further to your request for comments, we note that the site
is located within the Bowmanville Main Central Area as
designated in the Durham Regional Official Plan and as
detailed in the Bowmanville Official Plan. It is also shown
as a Commercial Predominant Use Area in the latter plan.
The proposed real estate office conforms.
With respect to Regional services, the site is presently
serviced by municipal water supply and sanitary sewer
facilities and the proposal would appear to have no
significant impact on such existing facilities."
COMMENTS:
The additional parking requirements generated as a result of
the change in occupancy will be provided on the lands
immediately to -the north of the subject dwelling, yet
maintained on the same property. The applicant has proposed
on the site plan, as submitted, to construct a 1 .8 metre
high board fence along the westerly and northerly lot lines,
thereby buffering/screening the parking area from the
neighbouring properties. Staff would note that the number
of spaces proposed would exceed the by-law requirements,
however, minor revisions to the lay-out of the parking area
may be required through -the site plan process.

Report No: PD-104-83 . . ./4
Given the consideration that the "site plan matters" as
perceived by the various Departments and agencies can be
implemented through site plan control procedures, staff have
no objections to the approval of the requested by-law
amendment to permit the use of the structure for a real
estate office, subject to the proper execution of said site
plan agreement.
