1.3 Rezoning:
From:
"Urban Residential Exception (R1-12)"
To: An appropriate zone to permit the expansion ofthe existing
funeral home, on the adjacent subject property, with an
associated parking lot
2. LOCATION
2.1 The subject lands are located in Part Lot 11, Concession I, former Town ofBowmanville.
The lands are further described as being located at 70 Wellington Street, immediately
abutting Northcutt Elliot Funeral Home and one lot east of Division Street on the north
side of Wellington Street.
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 The applicant has submitted an application to rezone the property at 70 Wellington Street.
The rezoning application and related site plan application, if approved, would allow a
135.2 m2 expansion to the existing funeral home. The majority ofthe expansion would be
contained on the existing funeral home property at 53 Division Street, with approximately
1.6 m of the proposed 8.0 m wide addition actually located on the lot subject to rezoning.
The balance of the lot would be used to accommodate parking for the addition and the
existing funeral home. The existing single detached dwelling at 70 Wellington Street is
proposed to be demolished to accommodate the proposed expansion and additional
parking.
3.2 In 1990 a rezoning application was filed for the lands behind the subject property to permit
a parking lot for the existing funeral home. At that time 17 off-street parking spaces were
created, where previously there was none. During a recent site inspection ofthe property,
it is noted that the driveway for the existing dwelling has been extended along the east
property line to provide a secondary access to the 17 off-street parking spaces. In addition,
a walkway has been constructed along the west boundary of the subject property for
pedestrian access from the side walk to the parking area.
3.3 The Public Meeting for the rezoning application was held January 8, 2001. A
neighbouring land owner addressed the Committee enquiring about the location of the
602

driveway for the future parking lot and the impact it would have on his driveway across the
street. The east limits of the neighbouring property across the street are just about in line
with the east limits of the subject property. The driveway on that lot is located abutting the
east side lot line. The proposed driveway, for the funeral home expansion, will be centred
on the subject property and will be a one-way only, providing access into the parking lot.
The existing access to the parking will provide the egress. Based on this configuration
staff do not foresee any conflict.

comments from other departments and agencies. The Clarington Fire Department, offered
no objection or concerns with the application as filed.

plan, which have been forwarded to the applicant's agent.

funeral home would also be permitted within the context of Policy 10.3.1 b) of the Durham
Regional Official Plan. The subject rezoning application conforms. In addition, no
provincial interests were identified for this application when screened in terms of the
provincial plan review responsibilities.
7.5 Regional Works Department staff advised that municipal water and sanitary services are
available to the site. The Region will disconnect any abandoned services at the expense of
the owner. The applicant will need to contact the Region of Durham Works Department
for this work prior to issuance of a building permit.

rezoning application to permit the expansion of the existing funeral home. They also
expressed no objection to the site plan in principle, however requested detailed grading,
drainage and sedimentation control plans prior to finalizing the site plan.
8. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 The applicant is proposing a 135 m2 addition to the existing funeral home located at the
comer of Wellington and Division Streets. The majority ofthe building addition is
proposed to be accommodated on the lands presently zoned to permit a funeral home.
However, a small portion of the building and all the required parking for the addition are
proposed to be accommodated on the adjacent, subject property to the east.
8.2 The subject property currently contains a single detached dwelling which the applicant
intends to remove to accommodate the expansion and required parking. The 135 m2
addition requires 15 parking spaces. The site plan submitted, in conjunction with the
rezoning application, indicates a total of 19 additional parking spaces are being proposed.
In addition, the existing wooden fence along the east property line is to be retained along
with a 1.5 m wide planting strip along the east property line.
8.3 The proposed addition will accommodate additional sitting and visitation room for the
existing Funeral home chapel. This will allow visitors for larger funerals to be
605

accommodated more comfortably, minimizing the number of people who are required to
stand or line up outside. In response to questions raised at GP AC the applicant has
confirmed that there would never be two funerals at the same time, although there may be
two funerals on the same day.
9. CONCLUSION
9.1 In consideration ofthe comments received from the various agencies, staff recommends
approving the proposed rezoning application to allow the proposed 135 m2 floor area and
associated parking expansion to the existing funeral home. Staff will continue to work
with the applicants and their agent to complete the site plan.
