PARMAR PART OF Lot 18, CONCESSION 5, FORMER TWP. OF DARLINGTON - FILE NO. : DEV 83-23 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following : 1 . That Report PD-157-83 be received; and 2. That Application for Rezoning DEV 83-2.3 be approved; and * 3. That the attached By-law amending Zoning By-law 2111 , as amended, be forwarded to Council for approval at such time as the applicant satisfies the requirements of the Newcastle Public Works Department. . . .2/ � r I t> i REPORT NO. : PD-157-83 page 2 BACKGROUND: The subject application for rezoning requests an amendment to Zoning By-law 2111 , as amended, of the former Township of Darlington to rezone a 0.5 hectare (1 .2 acres) parcel of land located in Part of Lot 18, Concession 5, within the former Village of Hampton. The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the subject parcel of land in order to allow the creation of residential building lots. The subject lands are located within the Hamlet of Hampton as designated by the Region of Durham Official Plan. The Region of Durham Official Plan stipulates that residential development in the form of infilling within existing residential development is permitted. In that regard, the creation of residential building lots would conform with the policies of Regional Official Plan. The subject parcel of land is presently zone "G-Greenbelt" by Zoning By-law 2111 , as amended, of the former Township of Darlington. Generally, no buildings or structures are permitted under this zoning classification. However, the applicant has requested the Town to approve a zoning by-law which would permit the creation of residential building lots. In accordance with departmental procedures , the subject application was circulated to various departments and agencies for comment. The following is a list of the comments received: Region of Durham Planning Department "We note that the site is located within Hampton, a designated Hamlet in the Durham Regional Official Plan. .. .3/ -IV REPORT NO. : PD-157-83 Page 3 Section 10.4.1 .4 of the Durham Plan stipulates minor internal infilling and/or minor additions to existing development may be permitted in hamlets. The proposal conforms. We note also that there is an indication of Hazard Lands in the vicinity of the site. The extent and exact location of such Hazard Lands should be determined in accordance with detailed floodline mapping and in consultation with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority." Region of Durham Health Unit "There are no objections to this proposal subject to the following conditions : 1 . Should there be insufficient area for a tile or filter bed, a Class 6 Aerobic sewage system will be required. 2. The proposed sewage systems must not be located on any part of a floodplain zone. 3. Drilled wells. Ministry of Natural Resources "Bowmanville Creek is an important coldwater stream with a spring spawing run of rainbow trout, and a fall run of rainbow and brown trout and Pacific salmon. Land uses which may cause excessive erosion in the stream valley should be prevented. We have no objections to a rezoning of the lots created by application LD 315/83 and LD 316/83 to permit residential uses. The lands below the elevation of the Regional storm floodline, as mapped by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, should be retained in a zone which will prohibit any buildings or structures except those required for flood or erosion control . This will serve to limit development adjacent to the Bowmanville Creek." Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority "An examination of the circulated sketch which depicts the lands in question appears to indicate that the site extends to the Bowmanville Creek, obviously including the regional storm floodplain and the associated creek valley. . ..4/ uU , a(d) REPORT NO. : PO-157-83 Page 4 The Hampton Conservation Area Master Plan , adopted by the Authority and Council , indicates this Authority 's acquisition interest in the Bowmanville Creek Valley system within the subject lands. On this basis, those lands to the rear of the two lots created by applications LD 315/83 and LD 316/83, should be included in the category of the Town's restricted area by-law which prohibits buildings or structures other than those required for flood or erosion control . We have no objection to the passing of a by-law which recognizes residential uses for those lots created by the aforementioned land devision application." Newcastle Public Works Department "Since the existing road allowance is +/- 25' , a 20.5 road allowance is required to obtain the standard 66' road allowance. The existing road is deficient in width, therefore, it should be widened to a 20' width , ditched, and surfaced (minimum hardtop) . The site requires additional lumination." Newcastle Fire Department "The Fire Department has no objection to the proposed infilling of residential buildings. Access for Fire Department equipment shall be provided to each building by means of a street, private roadway or yard, to be connected to a public thoroughfare. All buildings to be in accordance with requirements for Fire Safety, Ontario Building Code." Newcastle Building Department "No objection." COMMENTS: Staff have reviewed the request submitted by Mr. Parmar and note that the proposal consists of the rezoning of a parcel REPORT NO. : PD-157-83 Page 5 of land in order to allow the creation of a maximum of two (2) residential building lots, within a predominantly residential area of the Hamlet of Hampton. In staff's opinion, the proposed use would be compatible with the existing residential development in terms of existing lot sizes within the Hamlet and the proposed lot size subject of this application. Staff note that the applicant has submitted applications to the Region of Durham Land Division Committee LD 315/83 and LD 316/83, which have received approval for the creation of the proposed residential lots, subject to a number of conditions. These conditions include the approval of this rezoning application for the proposed development and also the dedication of a 6.25 metre (20.5 feet) road widening. In addition, as stated in their comments relative to the rezoning application, the Newcastle Public Works Department requires the upgrading of the abutting road allowance which is to include a 6.0 metre (20.0 feet) widening, ditching ad surfacing of the said road allowance together with additional lumination for this area. Staff note that the Newcastle Public Works Department have indicated that they would accept a cash contribution or the entering into an agreement by the applicant with regards to the upgrading of the road allowance. With respect to the concerns of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources regarding the creek and valley lands abutting the subject site, staff are proposing to have those lands below the elevation of the Regional Storm floodplain remain as a "G" Greenbelt zone classification to ensure that no building will occur within this area. . ..6/ REPORT NO. : PD-157-83 Page 6 In that regard, since the proposal conforms to the infilling policies of the Region of Durham Official Plan and since there were no major objections to the proposed rezoning of the subject lands staff would have no objection to the approval of the subject application for rezoning. Therefore, it would be appropriate to forward the attached By-law amendment to Council for their consideration at such time as the applicant satisfy the requirements of the Newcastle Public Works Department.
