REPORT NO.: P-188-79 SUBJECT: Proposed Official Plan Amendment Part of Lot 7, Concession 1, former Township of Darlington - File: 75-32/D/ND Schickedanz Developments Limited R A (TI f R (1T TNT1 On June 11, 1979 Committee considered staff report P-90-79 which dealt with the above noted application. Said report recom- mended denial of the amendment, however, the matter was tabled, at the request of the applicant, by Resolution PD -268-79. On July 5, 1979, staff submitted report P-108-79 which recommended that this matter be lifted from the table and dealt- with. Committee Resolution PD -302-79 again deferred the matter at the applicant's request. On October 5, 1979 staff received the attached letter from Regional staff which suggests that a recommendation of denial will be submitted to Regional Planning Committee, notwithstanding the Town's failure to deal with the matter. The letter also requests that the Region be notified by October 16, 1979 if the Town has any difficulty with their evaluation. In light of our own evaluation of the proposal, 6 - 2 - as presented by staff report P-90-79, and the fact that the applicant has had ample time to respond, we therefore propose to reintroduce re- port P-90-79 for appropriate action. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning and Development Committee recommend -to Coun- cil the following: 1) That this report be received; and that 2) Planning Report P-90-79 be lifted from the table and dealt with at this time.

(416) 263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF June 11, 1979. REPORT NO.: P-90-79 SUBJECT: Official Plan Amendment Application File: 75-32/D/ND - Part Lot 7, Con. 1, former Township of Darlington - Schickendanz Developments Ltd. BACKGROUND: The subject application was originally circulated to the Town for comment in October, 1975, in accordance with the procedures for processing these applications at that time, further requests were made of the applicant. Due to the applicant's apparent neglect of these requests the Planning Department considered the application abandoned and recommended a new application be submitted prior to further consid- eration. In November 1978, the applicant requested that processing of this application be continued. At that time, staff reviewed the file and recommended to Committee that the Region be advised that we have no objection to the further processing of the application, provided that the application was recirculated for revised or updated comments. In accordance with that recommendation, the Region has recirculated the Al) h�`b� - 2 application and now requests the Town's comments relative to this matter. COMMENTS: The subject site is located north of Highway 2, east of the Soper Creek, south of Concession Street and west of the Darlington Third Line consisting of approximately 45.7 ha (113 ac.). The site is presently designated "Permanent Agricultural Reserve" by the Durham Regional Official Plan and, therefore, an amendment is required to permit the proposed Urban Residential and Commercial Uses. The subject application was circulated to various concerned agencies and a notice published to solicit public input. The I.B.I. Group presently preparing the Bowmanville Urban Area Plan were requested to review this application during their preliminary investigations in order to ascertain its potential implications relative to servicing and presently committed or designated areas for urban growth. There was no response to the public notice and the result of the circulation are outlined below. However, the review by the I.B.I. group indicates that while the area, may at some time in the future form a logical extension to the urban area, present committments and designations will adequately accommodate Bowmanville's potential growth within the time frame of this Urban Area Plan. Approval of this proposal, therefore, may require additional capital expenditures and redesign for servicing; unless a reallocation of plant capacity, away from presently designated areas, is contemplated. - 3 - Town of Newcastle Public Works - no comment. Public School Board - no objection, however, a school site would be required within the area. Separate School Board - no objection. C.L.O.C.A. - Concerned about the potential impacts upon the Soper Creek as a trout habitat. Require applicant to demonstrate methods by which impacts would be mitigated prior to official plan amendment and feel that approval of proposed amendment would be premature. Regional Works - Cannot support the application due to the fact that sanitary services are not available and the site is outside of the designated drainage area of the Soper Creek trunk sewer system. Furthermore, Regional Works has no plans to extend sanitary services into this area. Ministry of Natural Resources - No objection to the principle of development on this site; however they are concerned about hazard land areas and potential impacts upon the Soper Creek as a trout habitat. Ministry of Agriculture and Food - Object to the proposal due to the fact that the site is prime agricultural land currently in production. They also feel that the Soper Creek is an ideal natural boundary between the Bowmanville Urban Area and the adjacent rural areas. Our review of the comments received also indicate that aside from servicing there are environmental and agricultural concerns to be considered. CONCLUSION: In view of the fact that large amounts of land have currently been designated for urban development within the Bowmanville area; and the fact that this development will occur over a relatively long period of time; we are unable to support the application at this time. - 4 - RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. That this report be received; and that 2. The Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle recommends denial of Official Plan Amend- ment No. 75-32/D/ND; affecting Part of Lot 7, Concession 1, former Township of Darlington, on the basis that it is premature.
