(416) 263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING of August 9, 1979. REPORT NO.: P-138-79 SUBJECT: Application for Rezoning Number Z -A-1-11-8 Proposed Redesignation of Road Allowance between Lots 5 and 6, Concession 8, Darlington D. Parrish PURPOSE OF APPLICATION: An application has been submitted requesting an amendment to the Darlington Zoning By-law to change the designation of the road allowance between Lots 5 and 6, Concession 8, Darlington, being Regional Road #14, from Class "B" Public Street to Class "A' Public Street. The proposed rezoning would permit the erection of buildings and struct- ures on lots fronting on the subject road allowance, provided that all other requirements of the By-law could be complied with. BACKGROUND: We have been advised by the Town of Newcastle Works Department that the subject road allowance has been physically maintained since 1974 by the Region of Durham Works Department. However, the Darlington Zoning By-law has not been amended to recognize the maintenance of this road, and therefore, the road has retained its designation as a Class "B" Public Street. Since Section 4 (f) of the Darlington By-law prohibits � � I - 2 - the erection of any building or structure on lots abutting a Class "B" Public Street, building permits have not been available for abutting lots. COMMENTS: As the road allowance has already been physically maintained, and because the proposed redesignation has not been objected to by the Region of Durham Works Department, we have no objections to the proposed amendment to the Darlington Zoning By-law. A proposed zoning amend- ment is attached. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to Council that By-law 2111 of the former Township of Darlington be amended and that the attached By-law be approved. Respectfully submitted, � 64 EP:lb D. N. Smith, M.C.I.P. July 31, 1979 Director of Planning Encl.
