ONTARIO LOB 1JO TEL.(416)263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 2, 1981. REPORT NO. : P-27-81 SUBJECT: Proposed Official Plan Amendment Durham Regional Official Plan - Sceptre Management Services Ltd. File: 80-56/D BACKGROUND: On December 29, 1980, staff received the attached request for comments in respect of a proposed amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan which would permit Community Facilities, as an exception in Rural Areas. Our review of the subject application and discussions with Regional Planning staff indicate that the basis for this amend- ment is a proposal to develop a day-care facility in conjunction with an existing Nursing Home located in Uxbridge Township. It is the opinion of Regional staff that under the circumstances a general amendment to the Regional Plan may be warranted, as opposed to a site specific amend- ment to permit this proposal. COMMENTS: In view of the fact that the proposed amendment would permit greater flexibility in locating such community facilities as nursing homes, homes for the aged and day-care centres and would be an rt' incentive to the development of such facilities, staff have no major_- - 2 - objections to it. However, we would note that it appears to be the intent of the Regional Plan to encourage tha location of such facilities in proximity to population concentrations, retail and personal service uses, other community faciliti s and public transit; and as such, the indiscriminate development of such facilities within rural areas should not be encouraged. In that regard, it may be appr priate to consider an amendment which would permit such community facilities within any land use designation subject to; compatibility with its surroundings; compatibility with the predominant permitted us (s) of the land use designation; and a demonstrated need for the fa ility. Such an amend- ment could, conceivably, be accommodated with S ction 6.2.6 of the Durham Regional Official Plan which presently p rmits local municipalities to zone to permit such uses as; police stations; fire stations; public parks; and certain cultural facilities, within any land use designation provided Council is satisfied that the proposed use is compatible with its surroundings. CONCLUSION: Based upon the foregoing, stafE have no objection to the proposed amendment to permit community faci ities within rural areas provided that such facilities are being providel in response to a demon- strated need and are compatible with their Burr undings. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to Council the following: 3 - 1) That Report P-27-81 be rec ived; and that 2) The Region of Durham be forwarded a copy of staff report P-27-81; and that 3) The Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to pro- posed Official Plan Amendm nt 80-56/D.
