Arena Manager's Report- Further follow-up and advice from Cimco Refrigeration to Bryan suggested that we do not delay the stabilization of the Brine and Glycol levels in. our refrigeration system. This project was initially planned to be attended to during our summer shutdown. However; on the advice of the experts the following motion was I proposed: Motion # 16-006: THAT: Bryan contact Cimco and arrange for the correction and stabilization of the refrigerants in our system to be attended to ASAP. 10-10 (2) l Moved by: Gary Oliver Seconded by: Carol Little CARRIED Following up on our meetings with both the NVMHA and the CGHL of January 151h and January 22nd, respectively, Bryan put together a proposed ice allocation schedule for the fall, 2016 season. It reflected the changes we would be able to make based on the willingness of both user groups. The critical needs of additional week-day prime-time ice and a lesser amount of week-end ice by the NVMHA was the objective.Through our special meetings with both user groups the board was able to free-up two (2) hours of ice time on Thursday evenings for NVMHA. But, it would come at the expense of their organization giving up some of their Sunday ice time. Not exactly what they had in mind, -as it was Saturday ice they were trying to exchange. However, the CGHL, at this point are unable to take on more Saturday ice. The board requested the chair write to Peter Hazelton of the NVMHA with these probable changes and request a reply to go forward. Follow-up to this matter will be tabled for our March meeting. Further: Bryan also discussed the hockey playoff schedule, elimination of teams and the general slow-down of visitors and snack bar sales. Further discussion by members questioned our plans for Family Day at the arena and Public Skating. Sue White suggested our arena lacked a Social Media presence and we should concentrate ori getting a better message out to the public. Particularly,through the Clarington Calendar and our own Web-Site activity. Councillor Partner took us through the Social Media tools available through the municipality. Follow-up will continue. 4. Financial Report—Currently working on our 2016 budget forecast, discussions took place on ice rental rates for the fall of 2016 and on through the winter of 2017. Increases in energy costs, propane and most supplies to the arena necessitated an increase in ice and floor rental fees. It was suggested a 2-4% increase should be implemented for'September, 2016 and a summer floor rental rate go into effect for this spring. The.chair offered to make proposed changes to our current rates and bring a completed budget forecast to our March meeting for acceptance. Sue White offered to 10-11 Follow-up with the municipality to acquire their ice rental rates now in effect.January, 2016 revenue was on par with the previous January. Accounts Receivables were at $62,000.00 with 75% being current. A revision of our one time rental invoice needed updating and up-front payment s for casual users be enforced. Bryan was advised to pay closer attention this area of the business to save us chasing these small receivables. He will prepare a revised invoice for the March, 2016 meeting. 5. New Business Discussions took place regarding the snack bar sales. It was suggested gravy be considered to serve with our French Fries. Gary, Bryan and Gord arranged to meet the following Tuesday morning to test and set up the gravy process for the snack bar staff. Sue White also advised that Pouting was the most popular snack treat at the local ski club and she would seek out information on the serving process and pricing. Gary advised: A number of the girls in the snack bar were not wearing the hoodies we provided and requested Bryan follow-up with them. Minimal snow clearance was required so far this winter and nothing had to be removed from the parking lot,to date. Snow clearing was well under budget for this season. 6.

ITEMS/UPDATES- Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup I Councillor Traill introduced Jenni McNish a Hampton resident that is interested in registering the SWNA for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. This is a Canada wide event that encourages citizens to clean up the shorelines of lakes and rivers around the country. The SWNA has participated in this event in the past and is fully supportive of participating again. Leo Blindenbach described his experience with the event and offered to be the committee liaison with Jenni for this year's Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. The committee discussed the best timing for the event and determined a September date would be the most beneficial since the SWNA is already a site for Pitch-In cleanup at the end of April. Jenni McNish will register for the event and confirm the date with Councillor Traill and Leo Blindenbach. Toronto Street Trunk Sewer project In 2016 the Region of Durham will implement phase one of a project to install a new trunk sewer to their sewage treatment plan. The first phase of the pr 01 ect will extend from the Waterfront Trail on Toronto Street down to the sewage treatment plant. The road in that stretch will be closed to traffic during construction. Phase two in 2017 will extend north from the Waterfront Trail to the 401. Access to the SWNA Toronto Street parking lot during the two year construction period will be via Port of Newcastle and Lakebreeze Drive. 2016 Trail Construction Project Peter Windolf presented the latest plans showing the proposed trail alignment and bridge crossing location for the new woodland trail that will connect the Waterfront Trail to the existing trail along the north side of the sewage treatment plant. The construction drawings are now complete and we are waiting for approval from the GRCA prior to tendering the project for summer construction. The committee discussed the options for trail surface. The trail will connect at the north end with a limestone trail and at the south end with an asphalt trail. The committee determined that an asphalt surface would be preferred if the'budget will allow for it. The asphalt surface would require less maintenance, especially since the trail has inclines leading into the valley, and an asphalt surface is more suitable for.a wider variety of users such as strollers, bicycles, wheelchairs, and in-line skates. Special Events in 2016 I GRCA Biologist Ken Towle has confirmed his availability to lead a walk this summer to identify and educate the public about invasive plants. The event would highlight the ecological damage and the toxic effects of some invasive plants found at the SWNA. The 10-14 i I SWNA March 20161-1inutes 3 date will be confirmed with Ken so that we can begin to advertise it through Clarington's social media platforms. Brian Reid has been in contact with noted wildlife photographer Bill Bickle about presenting some of his photographs at a November 2016 or January 2017 indoor event. Although the event would not be specifically about the SWNA, it would help promote the area by highlighting some of the flora and fauna that could be found at the SWNA. The committee discussed the timing and venue for the event. Melanie noted that Sunday afternoon events are often well attended. The committee agreed that a Sunday afternoon in November would be desirable. Possible locations could include the Newcastle Library or the meeting room at the Newcastle Recreation complex. Peter Windolf will investigate the availability of both venues. Brian will be asked to contact Bill Bickle to confirm a date. Bench Donation Offer A resident has offered to donate a custom made wood bench for installation at the SWNA in memory of a friend. A photo of the bench was distributed to the committee. It consisted of two large wooden planks for the seat and backrest. Leo talked about his experience with custom made wood benches while in the golf course industry. They often deteriorate quickly regardless of how often and how many coats of varathane are applied. The consensus of the committee was that the bench would not be appropriate for the SWNA especially since it is a memorial bench and there would be an expectation that it be well maintained. The potential donor will be contacted and thanked for her offer. 4. OTHER BUSINESS Patrick forwarded a photo of the decaying wood deck on the north viewing platform. Operations will be notified of the concern. Paul discussed the Regional Trails Committee initiative called Canada Walks 150. It is intended to celebrate Canada's sesquicentennial in 2017. The idea is still in concept stage but the plan is to encourage residents of all municipalities in the Region to walk 150km on local trails. Municipal staff has already met with the Regional planner who coordinates the Trails Committee. Clarington intends to participate and is waiting for more information from the Regional Trails Committee. 5. MOTION TO ADJOURN MOVED: by Leo Blindenbach SECONDED by Melanie McArthur .

Mr. Windolf also presented to the Committee three products that improve beach access for people with disabilities.

Committee members 10-17 i Clarington Accessibility -.2 - February 3, 2016 Advisory Committee mutually agreed it should extend as close to the water's edge as possible.

Of primary concern is the location.of the parking lot in relation to the store entrance. A secondary concern is the use of the accessible on-street parking space located in front of the store. Newcastle resident, Jacquie Watchorn advised the Committee that community members are dissatisfied with the level of accessibility at this Shoppers Drug Mart. Citing the location of the parking lot and the number of accessible off-street parking as the major causes for concern, it was recommended that the store install a second entrance at the back giving direct access to the parking lot. The Committee was told that the distance from the parking lot to the store entrance is too far for people with disabilities, seniors and mothers with strollers. Furthermore, the Committee was advised that people are driving to the Bowmanville Shoppers Drug Mart because it's more accessible even though it is further away. Paul Wirch, Planner, addressed the Committee.to provide some additional background on how the Newcastle Shoppers Drug Mart came to be and what occurred in the planning process. Mr. Wirch advised the Committee that the previous Accessibility Advisory Committee was given the opportunity to comment on the site plans and that their feedback was largely incorporated at the time. The Committee did not make mention of the location of the front entrance in relation to the parking lot. Mr. Wirch advised the Committee that the design of this store fits in with the Official Plan for Newcastle. A discussion between Committee members, the Accessibility Coordinator and Mr. Wirch ensued. Problems and concerns continued to be identified and possible solutions were discussed at length.

Business Arising from Minutes Submission to EBR posting: Neonicotinoids are a systemic pesticide applied on the seed. However, they are being overused in areas where they are not needed and as a systemic they are being spread throughout the pollination chain. Regulations were put in place in 2015 which affect the crops being planted in 2016; however, some of the recommendations preceded the recommendations from the national PMRA study and now are being viewed as too restrictive and not following decision based science. The committee has provided letters on previous works and resubmitted to this EBR posting. 4-Plan Review— The mapping for soybean and corn yields show the area between Bowmanville and Newcastle as some of the highest in all of Ontario. Brenda sent a letter with the mapping to Council, MPP, Minister of Agriculture and Minister of municipal Affairs and Housing and Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry so that they are aware of the high agricultural value of the land.

The application is available on the website at http://www.clarington.net/en/live-here/trees.asp (bottom of the page). 407 Expropriations —for lands that have been expropriated, the tax implications when the remnant parcels are left in the owners hands and are now separate parcels is that the farming rate (20%) does not apply until the use is re-established with MPAC and may require a tax hearing. This is time consuming and also costly for the farmer. Itis not something that was known in advance and came as quite a shock on the tax bill. Have others experienced or had this happen?

Municipality of Clarington Addendum to Report PSD -021-16 Report Overview Paae 2 At the Public Meeting on March 14th, four area residents spoke. They raised some concerns or requested clarification regarding the proposed Tien Tao Sheng Xiu Temple. Some of the matters raised were requests for additional information, much of which was provided by the applicant at the public meeting. This Addendum Report reviews the major items raised. 1. Purpose of Report The purpose of this addendum report is to address the comments received at the Public Meeting held on March 14, 2016. 2. Additional Background Information on the School Property 2.1 The following additional information has been prepared for Council's background on the Lockhart School property: The subject site was deeded to the school board from the original farm parcel in 1958; The previous Lockhart school (SS#9) was located north of the site and was converted to a residence; The school was built in 1959 and the building expanded in 1966. The school ceased to function as a Junior Elementary School in the late eighties. However until 2000, the school was used to accommodate Kindergarten students on a temporary basis until either existing schools were expanded or new schools constructed in Newcastle or Bowmanville; • In April 2001, the Kawaratha Pine Ridge District School Board approved the closing of Lockhart Elementary School and the sale of the property; • The school was offered to the Municipality but Council determined that there was no municipal use for the property; • The property was sold to Phillip Coulter later in 2001; • Mr. Coulter sought to establish and operate the private College of Renewable Energy (CORE), which was licensed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges, Universities to deliver renewable energy programs; many of the students attended under the "Second Career" program; • Staff consistently advised Mr. Coulter that he needed to rezone the lands to establish a private post -secondary school; a pre -consultation meeting was finally held in November of 2013, but no action was taken on submitting an application; Municipality of Clarington Addendum to Report PSD -021-16 Page 3 After years of trying to make the school viable, the property was assumed by the mortgagees and the property was sold to Tien Tao Sheng Xiu Temple in December 2015; There is an easement on the property in favour of Stephen Selby for the purposes of new drainage tile and weeping tile leading from the Lockhart School lands if necessary to drain his farmland; 3. Congregation, Property Use and Noise 3.1 A number of the resident's questions were with respect to the religious practices of the congregation and their intended use of the property. We are advised that the congregation of worshippers embraces Chinese religious beliefs, particularly Confucian. They have charitable status according to the Ontario Ministry of Government Services and have congregated for about 10 years. The congregation comprises of approximately 125 members but they rarely gather together all at once. They have advised that attendance at their worship services and/or teaching seminars is expected to be approximately 50 people. Different groups of members attend different events. Of course, there has to be some anticipation of growth over time. 3.2 They advised that worship services will be 2 to 3 times a month, and on specific days of the week that vary from month to month based on a Chinese Calendar using lunar cycles. The seminars will usually occur on Sundays, during a day of devotion and reflection, and about once a month. They advised that they do not do loud chanting, 3.3 The worshippers are primarily from Scarborough and Markham although a few are from elsewhere including Peterborough. These locations combined with easier traffic conditions in the eastern GTA render the Lockhart Road location suitable to the congregations needs. The Temple representatives advised that they currently worship in a variety of locations. 3.4 The Temple has provided preliminary site plan drawings, which includes a floorplan that shows the gymnasium/general purpose room would be converted to the worship area and the four classrooms converted to a kitchen, a lounge/library, and two teaching rooms. 3.5 The Temple worship services and seminars occur inside the building although they anticipate holding outdoor events occasionally, perhaps once a year. Almost any worshipping community will have some outdoor events Therefore, noise in the neighbourhood should not be an issue, When the building housed elementary school students it likely was much noisier; if it the property was used for agricultural purposes and the school converted to an equipment storage and repair, there would be noise associated with equipment. Every land use has some noise. Staff do not think that the proposed use would create unacceptable noise levels. Municipality of Clarington Addendum to Report PSD -021-16 Paae 4 4. Staff Consultation with the Applicant 4.1 People are always encouraged to contact the Planning Services Department to get information on their proposed use for lands that they are considering purchasing. Staff have met with the Applicants Consultant and a realtor on August 28, 2015 for an early consultation. A Pre -consultation Meeting was held September 24, 2015 with the Consultant, another realtor, and representatives of the congregation. Municipal Departments including the Chief Building Official outlined the issues to be addressed from their respective perspectives. The Regional Health Department attended and outlined requirements for the private sewage system. The Conservation Authority and Regional Planning did not attend the meeting and provided no objection or concerns with the proposal. 4.2 In December 2015, planning staff met the Project Manager to review details required for the rezoning and site plan approval application forms. The applications were submitted January 4, 2016. Since that time there has been ongoing discussion with planning staff. 5. Fair Market Value 5.1 It was noted during the public meeting, that as a result of the pre -consultation meeting, the property sold for greater than agricultural value due to the potential to rezone the property to allow a place of worship. As with all pre -consultation meetings, the applicants are advised whether their proposal is considered consistent with local, regional and provincial policy, and what studies or reports need to be submitted to address applicable policies to create a complete application. Applicants then determine the risk and costs of proceeding based on the information they have received. 5.2 The value of land is based on many factors. It was suggested that as a result of the pre - consultation meeting staff unfairly tipped the value of the land to be greater than the typical value of agricultural land. Although having the potential of being used agriculturally, the Agriculture zone also permits a single detached home among other uses. Therefore, an appropriate comparison could be a country residential lot with consideration for the positive and negative aspects of the existing school building. All, or a portion of the building could have been adapted as a residential use. While it is difficult to determine what a fair value is, we note that even modest rural residential properties are selling for $500,000 to $800,000. 5.3 At the end of the day, the fair market value is what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller after accounting for the risks and benefits. 6. Converting the Lockhart School site back to Agricultural Lands 6.1 It was suggested that given the tremendous interest in agriculture and preserving agricultural land by the Municipality, and particularly in the Official Plan, that the Municipality should have ensured that the school site was returned to agricultural land use. The official plans, and indeed provincial policy, requires the balancing of objectives. Municipality of Clarington Addendum to Report PSD -021-16 Page 5 So in addition to the objectives of "preserving agricultural lands for farming purposes", the "stewardship of agricultural lands for future generations" and "directing non-farm uses to settlement areas", the Official Plan seeks to "provide a range of activities, facilities and services to meet the evolving needs of residents...". 6.2 Ideally, a community facility, such as a place of worship, would have been located in a settlement area, as noted in Report PSD -021-16. So too would many of the residential dwellings located in the rural area now occupying prime agricultural land. However, we are dealing with past decisions by landowners that have resulted in the land uses we find today. In 1958, municipal approval would not have been required to sever the lands for the Lockhart School parcel, Given that it exists, there is no mechanism for the municipality to "force" consolidation of rural land parcels. These lands could have been sold and used for any purpose currently permitted in the Zoning By-law, including conversion to a single detached home. In this particular case, the applicant proposed another community use which Council can determine whether it wishes to allow. 6.3 While the Official Plan addresses the preservation of agricultural lands, it does not speak to the conversion of non-agricultural lands back to agriculture. Even with the consolidation of farm parcels, the Official Plan provides for the farm house rendered surplus to be severed and used for residential purposes, rather than being returned to agriculture. 7. Residential Uses Permitted in the Existing Zone 7.1 The property is currently zoned "Agricultural Exception (A-1)". This zone allows a single detached dwelling, a converted dwelling (a single detached dwelling existing in September 1984, converted into apartments), and a home occupation. In addition to a farm, the other non-residential uses permitted include; cemeteries and places of worship which existed prior to the date of passing of the By-law; a wayside pit or quarry, and forestry and conservation uses. 7.2 The previous use of the building by the College of Renewal Energy, including associated dorm rooms and apartments was not legally permitted in the "A-1" zone. The apartment within the existing building, as described by Mr. Halen, is also not legally permitted under the current zoning. The Temple has allowed Mr. Halen to continue to reside rent free in the building with his daughter. They wold move out if the zoning is approved and site plan is approved for the place of worship. 7.3 The owner of the College of Renewal Energy had completed a pre -consultation meeting with the intent of rezoning the property to legalize the use. Had a rezoning been approved to allow a private school on the property; a private school by definition may include boarding houses for registered students of such school. 8. Residential Use within a Place of Worship 8.1 Should Council support the rezoning application the proposed by-law in Attachment PSD - 021 -16 recommends rezoning the lands to "A-13" which permits a `place of worship' in addition to the other uses permitted in the Agricultural (A) zone. This approach continues Municipality of Clarington Addendum to Report PSD -021-16 Paqe 6 to allow the lands to be used for a farm in the future, without rezoning, should the temple move from this location. In addition to the place of worship and the uses permitted in the A-1 zone, as noted in the paragraphs 7.1 above, the zone would permit a fur farm, riding and boarding stables, seasonal farm produce sales outlet and a private kennel. 8.2 The zoning by-law defines a 'place of worship' as meaning "a building dedicated to religious worship and includes a church or synagogue and may include such accessory uses as a nursery school of religious education, convent, monastery or parish hall". As can be seen living accommodations are part of the definition of place of worship and accommodations for the minister or priest have historically been interpreted to be a component of a place of worship. 8.3 The applicants have advised that due to distances that people may need to travel to the temple, there may be a need for some people to stay overnight from time to time. There has not been a need identified for an apartment in the unit for an individual or family to live in regularly. The use within the building for occasional overnight stay is not considered an apartment /residential unit. 8.4 The two rooms identified at the recent site visit for overnight stay could be considered an accessory use. It has some similarity to concept of a rectory which is permitted except that the rectory is intended as a permanent residence for the clergy. Out of an abundance of caution, it is recommended that this use be explicitly recognized in the proposed rezoning of the property, so that there is no doubt about interpretation. Accordingly a new special exception zone is now recommended. 9. Renovations and Permits 9.1 Building permits will be required for internal renovations in accordance with the Ontario Building Code. The extent of the internal renovations will be confirmed through processing of the site plan application. The Chief Building Official participated in the pre - consultation meeting and advised the applicant of what was required. 9.2 When Mr. Halen spoke of "renovations" at the Public Meeting, we believe he was referring to the general clean-up of the property, the removal of Styrofoam room dividers in the gymnasium/general purpose room, workshop equipment and storage cabinets, and painting. During a visit to the property following the public meeting, we confirmed that there had been no new construction.

After rezoning, the parking spaces matter will be finalized in detail through the site plan approval application process. It is intended that all of the Temple's parking requirements Municipality of Clarington Addendum to Report PSD -021-16 Paae 8 will be met through on-site parking. This will help with traffic management on Lockhart Road. 10.2 Engineering Services has not identified any traffic problems on Lockhart Road as a result of this proposal. The congregation is to have a maximum of approximately 125 members on site at any one time which is really insignificant to the overall road operation. 11. Public Notice 11.1 The Ontario Planning Act requires as a minimum notice for a public meeting, when being mailed, to be sent to all property owners within 120 metres of the subject property. Ms. Choloniuk is located approximately 850 metres from the property. As Council is aware, the notice by personal mail and the Public Notice signs are intended to work together. In this case, that combined approach allowed for Ms. Choloniuk to become aware of the proposal. 12 Conclusion 12.1 The property is currently zoned Agriculture Exception (A-1). In consideration of this application, Council should be cognizant that more than farm -related uses are permitted in this zone. For example, a single detached dwelling and a place of worship are permitted, provided that the place of worship existed before 1984. 12.2 While it is an important planning objective to retain agricultural lands and to minimize impacts from non-agricultural uses on farming, many of these non-agricultural uses, including the 18 rural residences along this section of Lockhart Road, are the result of decisions made by previous generations and prior to the strengthening of agricultural policies. In these or similar cases, planning policy seeks to minimize future impacts from these decisions while allowing for changing circumstances. 12.3 It is Staff's view that the proposed place of worship by the Tien Tao Sheng Xiu Temple is an appropriate adaptive reuse of the Lockhart Elementary School, It will not increase any potential impacts on the surrounding agricultural lands than it would if it continued to be used as a rural residence or a school. With respect to other residential uses along Lockhart Road, from the information provided about the size of the congregation, their vision for the future use of the site and their religious practices, the Temple should not have an unacceptable impact due to noise, traffic, or parking. It is recommended that the rezoning application be approved. 12.4 Many of the concerns were in consideration of its impact on agricultural uses. Staffs analysis remains the same: the agricultural use of this property ceased in 1958. The proposed place of worship is an adaptive reuse of a building and site of a former community facility that is appropriate. A country residential or a farm use would also have been equally appropriate, without the need for a rezoning. However, that is not the intended use by the successful purchaser of the property.

Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -021-16 Report Overview Tien Tao Sheng Xiu Temple is proposing to amend the Zoning By-law to change the zone of the former Lockhart Public Elementary School, from "Agricultural Exception (A-1)" Zone to permit a place of worship. Only internal changes are proposed to the building. However, required modifications to the property such as upgraded entrances and additional parking will be reviewed through a related Site Plan Approval Application. No comments have been received to date. Provided that there are no substantive issues raised by residents at the public meeting, it is recommended that the application be approved. 1. Application Details 1.1, Owner: Tien Tao Sheng Xiu Temple 1.2. Agent: Frontop Engineering Ltd. K 1.3. Proposal: To change the zoning of a former public elementary school from Agricultural Exception (A-1) to permit a place of worship. 1.4. Area 1.214 hectares (3.0 acres) 1.5. Location: 3377 Lockhart Road, former Clarke Township Roll No. 18-17-030-030-23501 1.6. Related Files: SPA 2016-0001 1.7. Within Built Boundary: No 2, Background 2.1. Lockhart Public Elementary School closed in the 1990s. The College of Renewable Energy, a private post -secondary institution, moved into the school around 2001. The operators of the private school had several discussions with municipal staff regarding legalizing the use but did not proceed. The private college closed in about 2014. When the property went on the market the current owner/applicant, the Tien Tao Sheng Xiu Temple, took an interest in it. A Pre -consultation Meeting with Planning staff and other officials was held in late September 2015. They purchased the property in December 2015. 2.2. On January 4, 2016, Planning Staff received the current rezoning application and the related site plan approval application. A Stormwater Management Technicai Brief was included with the applications in support of the site plan approval application. Municipality of Clarington Report PS© -421-16 Figure 1: Location of the Property Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -021-16 Page 4 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1. The subject property and the surrounding properties are in rural Clarke Township. The property is on the east side of Lockhart Road and is generally surrounded by agricultural lands. There are 18 rural residences along Lockhart Road in Concession 3. Figure 2: Vacant School Building and Public Notice Sign on February 23, 2016 4. Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement Prime Agricultural Areas, according to the Provincial Policy Statement, are for agricultural, agricultural -related uses and on-farm diversified uses. Opportunities to support a diversified rural economy should be promoted by protecting agricultural uses and directing non -related development to areas where it will minimize constraints on these uses. Non-agricultural uses in Prime Agricultural Areas are recognized, subject to specific policies and requirements in Provincial Policy Statement. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -421-16 Page 5 This proposal will not remove land from agricultural production since the land was already excluded when elementary school was constructed. 5, Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject property as within Prime Agricultural Areas. The property and building are not in a key natural heritage/hydrologic feature. With the establishment of the elementary school, the property has long been removed from agricultural use. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan recognizes a public elementary school site within a Prime Agricultural Area. The facility pre-existed an official pian covering this area. Community uses, including places of worship, are encouraged to locate in urban areas and hamlets to enable easy accessibility by the majority of the population and, where possible to use municipal services. The proposal is to allow the conversion of a legally non -conforming use to a similar use, which is permitted. 6. Zoning By-law Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject property "Agricultural Exception (A-1)". The provisions of Zoning By-law 84-63 permit public uses such as public elementary schools to locate in any zone. A place of worship is only permitted in the above zone if it predates the Zoning By-law, hence, the need for a rezoning for this proposed place of worship. 7. Summary of Background Studies 7.1 5tormwater Management — Technical Brief There are no stormwater management issues as a result of the change in land use or the expansion of the gravel parking lot. The brief stated the quantity of stormwater runoff would be the same as the existing situation. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -021-16 Page 6 14 Figure 3: Proposed Site Plan 8. Public Notice and Submissions 8.1 Public notice was mailed to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject property and a public meeting sign was installed on the Lockhart Road frontage. 8.2 There have been no inquiries as a result of public notice. However, before the subject applications were received, the neighbouring owner contacted the Municipality to suggest that only agricultural uses should be permitted on the property. 9. Agency and Departmental Comments 9.1 Emergency & Fire Department had no fire safety concerns. 9.2 Operations Department provided comments related to the site plan approval application, but provided no comments on the proposed rezoning. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -021-16 Paae 7 9.3 Engineering Services Department noted the applicant must demonstrate that there is adequate on-site parking to meet zoning requirements. On -street parking for the place of worship will not be permitted. Engineering Services had many other comments; all related to the site plan approval application. 9.4 Building Division noted a building permit will be required for the proposed interior renovations. Clarington development charges will not be applicable. 9.5 The Accessibility Committee offered guidance regarding the provision of: barrier -free parking spaces and related outdoor lighting, and barrier -free washrooms. 9.6 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority had no objection. 9.7 Canada Post had no objections to the proposal, and noted that since the existing buildings receives delivery to a rural mailbox, it will continue. 9.8 Comments have not been received from: Hydro One Networks Inc., Durham Regional Police Service, Durham Regional Planning & Economic Development Department, and Durham Regional Health Department. 10. Discussion 10.1 The Official Plan encourages community uses, including uses such as places of worship, to locate within urban areas. This would be preferred but it is not mandatory, provided that they would meet the other policies of the Official Plan. It is assumed that the temple would service a broad area and therefore its proximity within any one urban area is not essential for its worshippers. 10.2 Lockhart Public Elementary School closed in 1990's and since then, for much of the time, it has been operating as private post -secondary school. The proposal to repurpose the elementary school building provides for an adaptive reuse of an institutional structure. If it were not for the existing structure, a new community use in the agricultural area would not be permitted. 10.3 The site is just over a hectare and is therefore limited in size. There is lots of room on- site for parking. The current site plan proposes to convert the gym for up to 120 worshippers. As a place of worship, it would have the equivalent or likely even less of an impact on adjacent agricultural uses than an elementary school. It is staffs view that the proposal is appropriate for Council to recognize as a permitted use in the Zoning By-law. 10.4 There are a number of site plan items that remain outstanding at this time, such as improving the deficient entrances, lighting of the entrances, adequate on-site parking, fire routes, location of walkways and snow storage, and landscaping, which will be address through the site plan approval application process. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-96 11. Conclusion e8 Staff have received no resident comments to date on this application. Most agency comments relate to the pending site plan application and will be addressed through that process. It is staff s view that this proposal is an appropriate adaptive reuse of the Lockhart Elementary School site and will not increase any potential impacts on the surrounding agricultural lands.
