BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: On June 2.0, 1983, the General Purpose and Administration Committee considered Staff Report PD-95-83. The Report addressed the issue of severance applications and the development of existing lots of record in urban areas prior to full municipal services being available. Committee resolved (Resolution #GPA-547-83) to request the Region of Durham to undertake an amendment to the Regional Official Plan to accommodate urban severance applications and to permit development of existing lots of record, conditional upon Health Unit approvals and subject to satisfying the requirements of the Regional Municipality of Durham. This recommendation was subsequently endorsed by Council at its meeting of June 27, 1983 (Resolution #C-504-83). On July 13, 1983, the Region advised the Town that Council 's resolution was being processed as a proposal to amend the Durham Regional Official Plan. The Region circulated the amendment proposal to the other area municipalities for comment and placed a public notice in various newspapers throughout the Region. . . .3 Jv -��►� REPORT NO. : PO-178-83 Page 3 On October 5, 1983, the Region advised the Town that based on the comments received through the circulation of the proposed official plan amendment, they would be preparing a draft amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan which will be forwarded to all the area municipalities, including the Town of Newcastle, for further comment. Staff note that the Official Plans of the Bowmanville Urban Area, the Newcastle Village Small Urban Area, and the former Township of Darlington (Courtice) will also require amending in order to implement the amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 1 To that end, Staff have prepared amendments to these three * Official Plans (attached) for Council 's consideration. The effect of these amendments would be to permit limited residential infilling and limited residential severances in Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle Village prior to the availability of full municipal services. Staff conducted a review of the residential development potential arising from the proposed amendments. Within the Bowmanville Urban Area, there would be as many as twenty-six existing lots of record which do not presently benefit from existing services , as well as a potential for eighteen lots to be created through infilling. In Courtice, Staff estimate the number of existing lots of record as forty-two, with the potential for infilling at fifty-two. Newcastle Village on the other hand, has only five existing lots of record, and a potential for four new lots. Staff wish to emphasize however, that these figures are estimates only. Staff note that the proposed amendments to the Bowmanville, Newcastle Village and Darlington Township Official Plans will not be approved and come into effect until the related . . .4 IV REPORT NO. : PD-178-83 Page 4 amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan is approved by the Region and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It is therefore recommended that Council endorse the proposed amendments attached to this Report, and request the Region of Durham to approve them at such time as they approve the related amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan.
