BACKGROUND: The attached report P-44-80 was presented to the Planning and Development Committee Meeting of March 17, 1980 and was referred back to staff for further clarification. This action, which was requested by staff, was necessitated by the discovery that the survey submitted by the applicant, as part of the application for rezoning, was incorrect and that the proposed By-law, based on this survey, included in the Special Condition lands which had been severed from the subject site several years ago. This error was brought to staff's attention by the owner, after he had been sent a copy of Report P-44-80. COMMENT: Report P-44-80 has now been altered by revising Schedule "X" to reflect the correct property limits of the MacDonald Ford Site. 2 - RECOM�NDATION: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That the attached Report P-44-80 be received for information; and 2. That the attached By-law Number 80- be forwarded to Council for approval. Respectf lly submitted, DNS:lb D. N. Smith, M.C.I.P.

(416)263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1980. REPORT NO. : P-44-80 SUBJECT: Application for Rezoning Number Z-A-2-11-2 Lots 10, 11, Part Lot 12, Part Lot 20; Lots 21, 31, Part Lot 32, Block 'C' , Hanning's Plan, former Town of Bowmanville - MacDonald Ford Sales BACKGROUND: The subject application requests an amendment to the Bowmanville Zoning By-law for a 5211.8 square metre (56,100 square feet) parcel of land fronting on King Street and George Street in the former Town of Bowmanville. Tlie. applicant intends to continue the use of the property for the sales and servicing of cars and trucks. The ptLe is designated "Main Central Area" in the Region of Durham Official Plan. The continued use of the property as a car and truck sales and service operation is not permitted under this designation. However, Section 16.6.5 of the Regional Plan would allow, "at their discre- tion, the Councils of the area municipalities, to zone to permit the con- tinuation, expansion or enlargement of existing uses provided that such existing uses have no adverse effect on the present uses of the surrounding lands." The site is presently zoned "Commercial" in the Bowmanville Zoning By-law. Perm►.tted uses in this zone do not specifically include the operation 2 - of a car and truck sales and service outlet, although unspecified retail stores may be permitted. It should be noted that the existing use does not predate the approval of the Bowmanville Zoning By-law. Staff, therefore, cto not inter°tarot the use as "'Legal non-conforming." The application was circulated to the following agencies for comrnen t: The Durham Planning and Works Department: "The subject parcel is designated "Main Central Area" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Automobile sales and service operations are not permitted. Newcastle Council, however, may, at their discretion zone to permit the continuation, expansion or enlargement of existing uses provided that such existing uses have no adverse effect on the present uses of the surrounding lands or the implementation of the provisions of the Durham Plan. Each such case is to be considered on its own merits by local Council.. With respect to the provision of Regional services, municipal sanitary sewn r and water supply facilities are available to the subject site. In addition, adequate capacity for additional service connections is available if required. In vIew of the proposal being com(nercial, there are no financial planning implications with respect to the current development polivies of the Regional Municipality of Durham." Newcastle Fire Department: "The lire Department has no objection to the proposed Zoning Amend- ment provided that: 1) Access to the property at all times from the travelled portion of a road or driveway. 2) Survey indicates Queen Street and Frank Street closed. At present there is access to rear of apartment building and commercial building on Frank Street via closed Queen Street. 3) Future structural development to comply with standards for fire safety and prevention." Newcastle Public Works Department: "The Works Department would have no objections to the Application for Rezoning provided that the Applicant controls any storm drainage and directs same to King Street, if future construction is to take place. This would, of course, have to be done to the satisfaction of the Town." 3 — The Newcastle_Building Department: had no objection to the rezoning of the subject property. s COMMENT: As noted, the site is currently zoned "Commercial" in the Bowmanville Zoning By-law. Permitted uses in this zone do not specif- ically include the operation of a car and truck sales and service out- let, although unspecified retail stores may be permitted. As noted, the Regional Official Plan does not permit automobile sales and service operations in designated "Main Central Areas" but Town Council may zone to permit the continuation, expansion or enlarge- ment of existing uses. As Mad)onald Ford Sales was reportedly established in 1960, stuff would have no objection to recognizing the existing use. It should be noted that prior to the issuance of any building permits for .future possible expansions of the use, the owners will be required to enter into a site plan agreement- with the Town as required under By-law 79-151. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That application for rezoning number Z-A-2-11-2 be approved; and 2. That the attached By-law Number 80- be forwarded to Council for approval.
