BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: i In June of 1983, the Town received an application for re- zoning submitted on behalf of the Liberty Pentecostal Church I to amend the Zoning By-law for the Town of Bowmanville to permit the construction of a Church. In accordance with Departmental procedures, the subject proposal was circulated to a number of departments and t F�F REPORT NO. : PD-106-83 . . ./2 agencies in order to obtain their input. The following is a summary of the comments received. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS "This Ministry would have no objections to the proposal as the site is w*i-thI n the 8owmanville Connecting Link. This office would have no jurisdiction in this instance. " REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM - PLANNING DEPARTMENT "Further to your request for comments, we note that the following provisions of Section 6.2.6 of the Durham Regional Official Plan would be applicable to the subject proposal : "Notwithstanding any other provisions in this plan to the contrary, the Council of the respective area municipality may recognize in the restricted area zoning by-law,. . . . . places of worship in any area, having first been satisfied that the proposed facility is compatible with its surround- ings. In determining land use compatibility, the Council of the respective area municipality shall have due regard for the provisions of this plan as they apply to the land use designation for the area in which the facility is to be located. In particular, facilities which would unduly restrict or conflict with the predominant permitted land use shall not be encouraged." In addition, there is an indication of Environmentally Sensitive Areas in the vicinity of the site as shown on Map A5 of the Durham Regional Official Plan. We would suggest that the Central Lake Ontario Concervation Authority be consulted as to the extent and exact location of such environmentally sensitive areas. We will also provide you with further comments on the pro- posed entrance onto Regional Road No. 57 when our invest- igation is completed. " REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM - HEALTH UNIT "Please be advised that there is no objections to this proposal but we require the following information: 1. A complete septic application. 2. Three copies of plans of the floor plan. 3. Finishing schedule. 4. Equipment layout schedule. REPORT NO. : PD-106-83 . . ./3 CENTRAL LAKE ONTARIO CONSERVATION AUTHORITY At the time this report was prepared, the written comments of this department had not been received . . . . . . . however, confirmation by telephone with the Conservation staff indicated that they had no objections to the rezoning as proposed subject to proper "site plan management" within the design stages. TOWN OF NEWCASTLE - BUILDING DEPARTMENT "No objections to the rezoning as proposed." TOWN OF NEWCASTLE - WORKS DEPARTMENT "We have received this application for rezoning and have no objection to this proposal . " TOWN OF NEWCASTLE - FIRE DEPARTMENT "I would bring to your attention the Fire Department's concern in regard to a piped water system for fire protection. Durham Regional Police also are proposing a new building within this area. The Fire Department has no objection to the proposed ap- plication for rezoning. Consideration should be given to future development without water supply for fire protection, to extend the water main from Waverley Road to the north side of Highway No. 2. " COMMENTS: The majority of the comments received did not raise any major objections to the rezoning, rather, comments of a site plan nature which will be dealt with through a development agreement to be prepared by staff. REPORT NO. : PD-106-83 In consideration. of the concept plan, as submitted by the applicant, the zoning standards as contained within the attached by-law would provide for an adequate building envelope in which the structure could be both properly sited and "architecturally pleasing" to the surrounding area. It is noted that the vested interest of the Region of Durham Planning Department and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority with respect the "environmentally sensitive area" in the vicinity (to the north-east) .would be adhered to through the by-law provisions whereby the building envelope is situated on the westerly side of the lot, yet set back sufficiently from Martin Road and Highway No. 2 (i .e. site lines from each thoroughfare) . 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 would have no objections to the approval of the requested by-law amendment to permit a church on the subject site.
