2. BACKGROUND
2.1 On March 9, 2000, the Planning and Development Department received an application to
amend Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit exterior side yard setbacks of 4.5 metres
rather than 6 metres, on the subject lands.
2.2 The exterior (comer) lots subject to the proposal are located in the northerly or draft
approved "Phase 2" portion of the St. Stephens Estates subdivision, which is on the east
side of Mearns Avenue. The subject lands are part of Lot 8, Concession 2, former Town
ofBowmanville (see Attachment No. I).
3. LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
3.1 The draft approved lots have a flat topography and are currently vacant.
3.2 The surrounding land uses are as follows:
North - Vacant and beyond, the Canadian Pacific Railway
South - the southerly or registered "Phase I" portion of the St. Stephens Estates
subdivision and beyond, Concession Street East
East Bowmanville Creek and beyond, the Great Lakes College of Toronto
West - Mearns Avenue and beyond, vacant
4. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
4.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the fourteen (14)
draft approved lots and a Public Notice sign with a map showing the locations of the
fourteen (14) draft approved lots was installed on the Mearns Avenue frontage. There
have been no inquiries to date.

4.2 A public meeting for the rezoning application was held on May 1,2000. No one spoke in
objection to/with concern for the proposed setback reduction. No one spoke in support
of the proposed setback reduction.
5. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
5.1 Within the Durham Region Official Plan, the subject draft approved lots are designated as
Living Area in the Bowmanville Urban Area. The application conforms.
5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the subject draft approved lots are designated as
Urban Residential in the Bowmanville Urban Area. The application conforms.
6. AGENCY COMMENTS
6.1 The rezoning was circulated to various agencies and other departments by the Planning
and Development Department. To date, comments have been received from the
Regional Planning Department and Central Lake Ontario Conservation and neither
agency had objections. The Clarington Public Works Department has stated the applicant
must demonstrate that all lots with reduced exterior side yard setbacks can be graded in
accordance with municipal standards without the use of retaining walls. All Lot Grading
Plans must be satisfactory to the Director of Public Works and any plans that contain
retaining walls will not be approved.
7. STAFF COMMENTS
7.1 The applicant has not requested an increase in the maximum 40% lot coverage presently
permitted for single detached dwellings in the "Urban Residential Type Two (R2)" and
"Urban Residential Type One (Rl)" Zones or in the maximum 45% lot coverage
presently permitted for semi-detached/link dwellings in the "Urban Residential Type One
(Rl)" Zone. Approval of the amendment, as submitted, would provide a degree of
flexibility in determining the siting of each dwelling unit without compromising any of
the other zoning regulations (including lot coverage) or the storm drainage system as
designed for this subdivision.

REPORT NO.: PD-057-00

7.2 As illustrated on Attachment #2 to this report, the reduction in the exterior side yard
setback would not impact the site triangles required by the Municipality. Outside of this
site triangle there are often other impediments to visibility such as trees and shrubs.
8. CONCLUSION
8.1 It is respectfully recommended that the rezoning application to permit reduced exterior
side yard setbacks be APPROVED as contained in the attached zoning by-law
amendment (see Attachment #3).
Respectfully submitted,
