OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 5.1 The Durham Region Planning Department has provided the following preliminary comments based on pre consultation with the applicant. The subject lands are designated "Employment Area" within the Durham Regional Official Plan, which permits various employment-related uses. Section 5.3.5 recognizes that cemeteries are necessary and essential community facilities. Established cemeteries are permitted to expand provided they comply with the zoning by-law. The proposed crematorium represents an accessory function to the established Bowrnanville Cemetery, rendering an amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan unnecessary. In addition, the Region will not require an Environmental Impact Study. The property is identified as having archaeological potential. The applicant will be required to conduct an archaeological assessment of the subject lands to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture, and Recreation. 5.2 Within the Clarington Official Plan, the property is designated "General Industrial Area". Section 18.5.8 requires an official plan amendment for the establishment of a new crematorium. The amendment would examine issues such as: · Suitability of the location with respect to urban form and compatibility with surrounding uses . Ability of the road network to accommodate traffic . Promoting an orderly extension of urban services . Impacts on the Natural Features identified on Map C . Suitability of soil and ground water conditions . Site design and other pertinent issues An official plan amendment application has been submitted for consideration. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Clarington Official Plan is contained in Attachment #3. 603 '. REPORT PD-004-00 PAGE 4 6. ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY 6.1 The subject lands are currently zoned "Agricultural (A) Zone", which does not permit the proposed uses on the property, Therefore, a rezoning application was submitted for consideration. 7.
