REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH
16, 1981.
REPORT NO. : P-53-81
i
SUBJECT: Proposed Rezoning - Part of Lot 26, Concession 1,
Newcastle Village, Newcastle Lumber Ltd.
Our File: Z-A-3-11-6
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On February 16, 1981 staff report P-39-81 (Attachment 1)
was submitted for the Committee's consideration. Said report was
tabled at staff's request pending further discussions with Durham
Regional Planning staff.
i
On March 2, 1981 staff received correspondence from Durham
Region (Attachment 2) indicating that in their opinion the proposed
use of the building for an antique store was compatible with its sur-
roundings and would not cause any undue economic decline of existing
retail or personal service uses, or preclude development of the Main
Central Area.
As indicated by Report P-39-81, our recommendation for denial
was based upon non-conformity with the Durham Plan. However, based
upon the Regional staff's latest interpretation, indicating conformity,
we are now in a position to recommend approval of an amendment to By-law
79-44. Such an amendment (Attachment 3) would permit the use of the

existing building for convenience commercial purposes, in accordance
with Section 8.1.2.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan; and, as
a special provision, an antique store pursuant to the Region's latest
comments.

That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to
Council the following:
1. That Report P-53-81 be received; and that
2. Report P-39-81 be received for information; and
that
3. The attached By-law be forwarded to Council for
approval and the applicant so advised.
Respectfully submitted,
