REPORT NO. : PD-72-82
SUBJECT: TOWN OF NEWCASTLE REZONING - SENIOR CITIZENS
APARTMENT PROPOSAL - PART OF LOT 11 , CONC. 1 ,
(BOWMANVILLE) OUR FILE: Z-A-2-7-2
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
On March 22nd, 1982, the General Purpose and Administration
Committee considered Staff Report ADMIN-82-19, a
Confidential Report in respect of the Town's proposed
acquisition of the Registry Office site located on Liberty
Street North from the Region of Durham, and the subsequent
conveyance to the Canadian Order of Forresters to facilitate
the development of their proposed Senior Citizens Housing
Complex.

Report No: PD-72-82 . . ./2
On March 29th, Council ratified the General Purpose and
Administration Committee's approval of the recommendations
contained in Staff Report ADMIN-82-19. In that regard, in
order to implement the recommendations as approved by
Council , it is necessary to amend Restricted Area (Zoning)
By-law 1587 to rezone the subject site to permit a Senior
Citizens Housing Project.
On April 8th, 1982, a draft By-law was forwarded to Mr. Milt
Dakin, President of the Canadian Forresters Eastern Project,
and Mr. D. Evans, Chief Administrative Officer of the Region
of Durham, for their review and comment. A copy was also
forwarded to the Town's Solicitor, David Sims, for his
review prior to submission to Council .
On April 20th, 1982, staff met with the architect
representing the Canadian Forresters to discuss the proposed
Zoning By-law and its implications upon the site's
development. As a result, a few minor changes were made in
respect of the proposed rear yard setback.
On April 14th, 1982, Regional Council considered the Town's
Offer of Purchase and Sale, and as indicated by the
Administrator's Staff Report, ADMIN-82-30, the Town's Offer
has been signed back to the Town with a modification
relative to vacant possession.
COMMENTS:
In view of the Region's acceptance of the Town's Offer of
Purchase and Sale, pending Town's acceptance of the
revisions thereto, it would now be appropriate for the Town
to proceed with the rezoning of the subject lands to
facilitate clearance of the conditions of Purchase and Sale
contained within the Forresters ' Offer to the Town.
Report No: PD-72-82 . . ./3
Staff note that as of the date of writing, a written
response had not been obtained from Mr. Evans or Mr. Sims.
However, on April 21st, 1982, staff spoke to Mr. Gary
Herrema, Regional Chairman, who indicated that the Region
would not be objecting to the Town's actions if we decided
to proceed with the subject rezoning. He had also indicated
at that time that the Region's only concerns were relative
to the Town' s Offer of Purchase and Sale and the Town 's
request for vacant possession of the property.
i
Telephone discussions with David Sims indicated that he had
no difficulty with the By-law as drafted, save and except
for one or two minor changes to the wording. These changes
have been made and incorporated within the draft By-law
* attached hereto.
Staff have discussed the matter of Official Plan conformity
with Dr. Michael , Commissioner of Planning, Durham Region;
and have suggested to him that the subject rezoning conforms
to the Durham Regional Official Plan in that community uses
such as housing for the aged are permitted uses within
residential areas. In addition, although designated low
density residential by the existing Bowmanville Official
Plan, Section 2(a) of that plan would permit a limited
amount of higher density residential uses. This is
consistent with the intent of the Official Plan for the
Bowmanville Major Urban Area presently being reviewed by the
Region. Dr. Michael has indicated a willingness to consider
this suggestion provided our request for a Schedule Three to
the By-law is supported by the Town 's reasoning behind this
interpretation. In that regard, it can be argued that a
non-profit senior citizen's housing project could be
considered as housing for the aged, thus satisfying Section
8.1 .2.1 (x) of the Regional Plan.
Report No: PD-72-82 . . ./4
Furthermore, Section 2.2.3 indicates that it is the intent
of the plan to encourage the provision of such amounts and
types of housing necessary to meet the needs of those
residents unable to find adequate housing through the
private market. In this respect, the proposed development
is meeting the need for senior citizen rental accommodation
which private developers have been unable to meet. This
proposal is also consistent with the intent of Section 7.2.7
of the Regional Plan, which states that means of increasing
densities of new residential developments will be
investigated to increase the efficiency of the use of land
and to encourage the development of multi-functional areas;
the former since the site is presently being used
inefficiently and the latter since the site is in close
proximity to, and complementary to, the Newcastle Fitness
Centre, Bowmanville High School and the Bowmanville Main
Central Areas.
We note, however, that should the Regional Planning
Commissioner be unable to concur with these arguments, the
By-law does conform to the Official Plan for the Bowmanville
Urban Area, and the Region of Durham and the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing requested to expedite approval
of same.
In view of the foregoing, staff have prepared a draft
* By-law, attached, which it would now be appropriate for the
Committee to consider and forward to Council for approval .
Respectfully' s`ubmitted,
T. T. ` dwards, M.C.I .P.
