REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 9, 1980.
REPORT NO. : P-97-80
SUBJECT: Application for Rezoning Number Z-A-3-12-8
Part of Lot 1, Block 1, Hanning's Plan for
the former Village of Newcastle, being Part of
Lot 28, Concession 1, former Township of Clarke
Edmond Vanhaverbeke
BACKGROUND:
The subject application requests an amendment to the Newcastle
Village Zoning By-law to rezone a 778. 7 square metre (8382 square feet)
parcel of land on Part of Lot 1, Block 1, Hanning's Plan of the former
Village of Newcastle. The applicant intends to renovate the ground
floor of the existing dwelling to provide for commercial space, and
residential space on the second floor.
The site is designated "Main Central Area" in the Region of
Durham Official Plan. The proposed commercial and residential uses
are permitted under this land use designation in the Regional Official
Plan. In addition, Section 16.6.5 of the Plan permits continuation,
expansion or enlargement of existing uses, therefore, the proposal would
conform with the policies of the Official Plan.

The site is presently zoned "C3 Commercial" and "R3 Residential"
in the Newcastle Village Zoning By-law. The proposed by-law would change
the zoning of the entire property to the "C3 Commercial" classification,
to allow the applicant to operate a commercial and residential use on
the same property.
The application was circulated to the Durham Planning and Works
Department, Newcastle Public Utilities Commission, the Newcastle Fire
Department, Newcastle Building Department, and the Newcastle Public
Works Department for comment.
The Durham Planning and Works Department submitted the following comments:
"The subject site is designated "Main Central Area" in the
Durham Regional Official Plan. Personal and business ser-
vice and commercial uses are permitted. The expansion of
the existing commercial use along with the continuation of
the existing residential use may be permitted in accordance
with Section 16.6.5 of the Durham Regional Official Plan.
With respect to the provision of Regional services, munici-
pal sanitary and water supply facilities are available on the
Baldwin Street and Icing Street frontages on the subject site.
In view of the commercial nature of the proposed rezoning
there are no financial planning implications with respect
to the current development policies of the Region."
The following agencies had no objection to the proposed rezoning:
Newcastle Public Utilities Commission
Newcastle Fire Department
Newcastle Building Department
Newcastle Public Works Department
COMMENTS:
Staff have reviewed the proposal submitted by Mr. Vanhaverbeke
and feel that the commercial and residential use proposed would be com-
patible with the surrounding uses in this area. In addition and if the
3 -
rezoning of the subject property was to be approved, it would eliminate
the two zoning classifications that exist on this property, and would
provide for a consistent commercial zoning for lots which abut King
Street.
Because of these reasons and the fact that the proposal would
not conflict with the policies of the Region of Durham Official Plan,
we would have no objection to the subject application for rezoning.
Staff note that the applicant will be required to enter into
a site plan agreement with Town pursuant to By-law 79-151 prepared under
Section 35 (a) of the Planning Act.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1. That application for rezoning Number Z-A-3-12-8 be
approved;
2. That the attached By-law Number 80- be forwarded to
Council for approval; and
3. That the Region of Durham be advised of Council's
action in respect of the subject application.
Respectfully submitted,
EP:lb D. N. Smith, M.C.I.P.
