Lot areas and lot frontages that exceed the maximum permitted in the "Rural Settlement One (RS1)" Zone, and 2. The lands east of the limits of the draft plan to be rezoned "Environmental Protection (EP)" 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: Steven and Karen Carruthers 1.2. Applicant: Jamie Maclnnis (City Homes) 1.3. Agent: D.G. Biddle and Associates 1.4. Proposal: A Zoning By -Law Amendment application to implement the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-89012 1.5. Area: 14.92 hectares 1.6. Roll Number: 1-817-010-150-12800 1.7 Location: Northeast quadrant of the Hamlet of Enniskillen, being Part lot 18, Concession 8, in the Former Township of Darlington 2. Background 2.1. The original subdivision application was submitted in 1989 by Mr. Rowan. At the time, the site was governed by Zoning By-law 84-63 and was zoned "Residential Hamlet (RH)" which permitted a single detached home on a lot with a minimum lot frontage of 30 metres and lot area of 4000 square metres. The application complied with the zoning at the time and a rezoning was not required. The lands were Draft Approved in May of 2014. 2.2. When Zoning By-law 2005-109 for lands within the Oak Ridges Moraine was implemented, the zoning of the subject parcel changed. The new zoning, in addition to the minimum zone provisions contained in the 'RH' zone has maximum lot areas and lot frontages, which were not applicable within Zoning By-law 84-63. By-law 2005-109 requires minimum lot frontages of 30 metres and a maximum of 40 metres. Additionally, Zoning By-law 2005-109 has a minimum lot area of 4000 12-2 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -028-16 Page 3 square metres and a maximum of 6000 square metres. All of the draft approved lots exceed the maximum lot frontage and two exceed the maximum lot area. 2.3. A small intermittent stream at the east property boundary was identified as a hydrologically sensitive feature through the processing of the subdivision application. In 2009, a revised submission of the draft approved'plan was received which showed the feature removed from the draft plan. As a condition of draft approval the Owner agreed to meld these lands with the agricultural lands to the east also owned by the Owner and agreed to rezone the lands to "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone". 2.4. On March 24, 2016, Planning Staff received the current rezoning application to implement the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision by allowing: increased maximum lot frontages and lot areas and to rezone the eastern portion of the subject lands as Environmental Protection.

Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The subject property is located in the north-east quadrant of the hamlet of Enniskillen. The property has frontage on Old Scugog Road and Regional Road 3. Immediately east of the limits of the draft plan there is a watercourse surrounded by vegetation. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: North - one rural residential lot and cultivated agricultural lands South - hamlet residential East - a farm supporting a residential dwelling, farm buildings and cultivated agricultural lands West - hamlet residential 4. Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas, including hamlets, as the focus of growth and development. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement as it provides for residential development within the hamlet of Enniskillen. 4.2 Greenbelt Plan The Greenbelt Plan recognizes that settlement areas in the Greenbelt are integral to the character of the rural and agricultural areas. The subject lands are within the Hamlet of Enniskillen and identified for residential use. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Greenbelt Plan. 4.3 Provincial Growth Plan The Growth Plan provides a framework for accommodating major growth which allows growth in Hamlet areas serviced by private individual water and private wastewater systems. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Growth Plan. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Region Official Plan designates Enniskillen as "Hamlet". Hamlet development shall only proceed if the required technical studies conclude that the 12-4 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -028-16 Page -5 development on individual private services is sustainable. The Region issued comments in August of 2012, which indicated that their peer review was complete and the development of 24 residential lots could proceed, subject to a number of conditions that were imposed through draft approval of the subdivision. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Durham Regional Official Plan. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Hamlet". The predominant form of development shall be single detached dwellings, community facilities, including parks. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Municipality of Clarington Official Plan. 6. Zoning By-law Zoning By-law 2005-109 Within Zoning By-law 2005-109, the subject site is zoned "Holding — Rural Settlement One ((H) RSI) Zone". The provisions within the Rural Settlement One (RS1) Zone require that lot frontages are a minimum of 30 metres and a maximum of 40 metres. Additionally, the Rural Settlement One (RS1) Zone requires lot areas are a minimum of 4000 square metres and a maximum of 6000 square metres.. All of the draft approved lots exceed the maximum lot frontage and two exceed the maximum lot area. A small intermittent stream at the east property boundary was identified as a hydrologically sensitive feature. Central Lake Ontario Conservation, as a condition of approval requires these lands to be zoned "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone". The two issues require a rezoning to implement this Draft Plan of Subdivision. 7. Summary of Background Studies Hydrogeology and Site Servicing Oakridge Environmental Ltd., prepared an initial report in November 2005 which was peer reviewed and supplementary reports were provided in 2009 and 2012. In June 2012, the peer review consultant provided a letter indicating that Oakridge Environmental Ltd. completed sufficient work to adequately demonstrate that a sufficient quantity of groundwater was available from the aquifer with little risk to neighbouring groundwater users and therefore no further issues needed to be addressed with respect to water quantity or quality of groundwater at this site. 12-5 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -028-16 Page 6 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 frontages of Old Scugog Road and Regional Road 3. 8.2 One inquiry on the subject application was received at the time of writing this report. The individual e-mailed the Planning Services Department for further information on the file. The individual had no concerns with the application, as the rezoning is consistent with what was Draft Approved through 18T-89012. 9. Agency and Departmental Comments 9.1 Engineering Services Department and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has no objection to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. 9.2 Upon the writing of this report, formal comments have not been received from: Durham Region Works Department, Durham Regional Planning Department and Durham Regional Health Department. However, as noted above this application is implementing a condition of Draft Approval for Plan of Subdivision 18T-89012, the Region had no objection to the draft approval of the proposed 24 lot .plan of subdivision. 10. Discussion 10.1 The subject site is located in the Hamlet of Enniskillen and is zoned for residential development. The proposal is consistent with provincial policies, the policies of the Clarington Official Plan and the Region of Durham Official Plan. 10.2 Studies have been submitted to confirm that residential development can proceed on private water supply and private septic systems with no expected negative impacts to surrounding wells. The original application for the draft plan of subdivision in 1989 proposed 33 residential lots. In 2006, a revised application was submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Carruthers which showed only 26 residential units. Through this application, a hydrogeological and site servicing report was done. The number of lots were reduced to 24 to address the hydrogeological conditions. This reduction in number of lots has resulted in larger lot areas and larger lot frontages than the original proposal. 10.3 The watercourse and the associated vegetation along the east limits of the draft plan was removed from the draft plan and will be rezoned to "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone" through this rezoning application. 10.4 It is in staff's view that therezoning is appropriate, consistent and implements the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-89012. 12-6 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -028-16 Page 7 11. Concurrence Not applicable 12. Conclusion Staff have received no resident concerns to date on this application. It is staff's view that this rezoning implements what was approved with the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-89012 for the subject lands. Provided there are no substantive issues raised at the public meeting, it is recommended that the rezoning application be approved. 13. Strategic Plan Application Not applicable Submitted by: D ' .

That Report PSD -029-16 be received; 2. That the proposed Rezoning ZBA 2016-0005 continue to be processed including the preparation of a subsequent report; 3. That all interested parties listed in Report PSD -029-16 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 12-11 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Report Overview Page 2 The Municipality of Clarington has initiated an amendment to Zoning By-law 84-63 for lots fronting onto Tooley Road between Nash Road and McLean Road. The amendment would allow only single detached dwellings and require a minimum of 17 metres of frontage per lot. The amendment is also proposed to require a minimum front yard setback of 7 metres for all new dwellings. Further, the amendment would zone the lands near the future intersection of Tooley Road and Adelaide Avenue to permit, in addition to single detached dwellings, linked townhouses on a development block of at least 1 hectare in size. 1. Proposed Rezoning 1.1. Proposal: The Municipality of Clarington is proposing to amend the Zoning By-law for lots fronting onto Tooley Road by allowing only single detached dwellings and requiring a minimum of 17 metres of frontage per lot. The amendment is also proposed to require a minimum front yard setback of 7 metres for all new dwellings. Furthermore, lands near the future intersection of Tooley Road and Adelaide Avenue would permit, in addition to single detached dwellings, linked townhouses on a development block of at least 1 hectare in size, subject to the typical development approval process. 1.2. Location: All properties with frontage on Tooley Road in Courtice from Nash Road to McLean Road (future extension of Adelaide Avenue) with the exception of the lands that were part of application ZBA 2015-0002 (by H + H Properties Inc.) (see Figure 1). 1.3. Within Built Boundary: Most of the properties fronting on the subject portion of Tooley Road are within the Built Boundary. The exception are those properties north of and including 3398 Tooley Road on the west side of the road only. 12-12 �• m Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 20 Background Page 4 2.1 In 2015, H & H Building Corp. submitted development applications for lands on the west side of Tooley Road. As a result of residents' concerns with this development proposal and future development within the neighbourhood, staff undertook a review of the Worden East Neighbourhood Design Plan in 2015. 2.2 On June 25, 2015, staff held a miniature design charrette where residents were asked to share what they liked about their neighbourhood, what they were concerned with and to identify other memorable neighbourhood characteristics. On November 10, 2015, staff met again with residents to review the consolidated list of principles and preliminary concepts for various areas along Tooley Road. Planning Staff and Staff from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority met with a number of landowners with development interests on another occasion. Staff held a further meeting January 19th, 2016 with 9 residents from Tooley Road who had made submissions on the proposed neighbourhood plan following the November 10, 2015 meeting. The meetings provided a good opportunity for dialogue and helped gain a better understanding of issues all around. 2.3 The residents for the most part understand -that development on Tooley Road is inevitable yet want to ensure that the character of their street is maintained. Protection of the.natural environment, maintaining larger lots and allowing homes with greater setbacks from Tooley Road to maintain 'green' along the frontage rather than a 'wall' of garages and driveways were important to the residents. 2.4 At.the Council meeting of February 8, 2016, Clarington Council approved a resolution that supported the revised Worden East Neighbourhood Design Plan (see Figure 2) and that authorized Staff to initiate an amendment to the Zoning By- law to permit only single detached dwellings with greater lot frontages and setbacks in the Urban Residential Type One (R1) Zone, fronting on Tooley Road with the exception of the medium density area, which would be rezoned to an appropriate zone. 12-14 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Figure 2: Worden East Neighbourhood Design Plan e5 12-15 FUTUREAUE—EAVENUE ----- \: LEGEND 1 �Env4onmental ProWWq I�I NI ExistpR��ity Aad Single DDlached Res:deM.1 \ _ � � 1 � I •\ f MulliunR BOJ/ Density I�ResidvVal - Muluand Medium Density Residential - - __- ,\� _ I_ r f/\/ FM mnta151uGy Mea ILvalS�rb�Uynruu r�� _ WaLNO P'a['Ji�'1. aviCeYA ' i%% _ � �' I• I ---- Church a LANE F ��I Laatbn Ont P -d ater Manme agentPmd FL n I — i .1 I �U I PDsvta4 Future Trail fAfgeareMbOe dctemi'-+e� �I• ISI - FIE `-- -- PDPPrWLD DaIVE LLL!- - _] -- DA.

Characteristics of the Neighbourhood 3.1 The homes along Tooley Road have been built over a period of time, mostly when Tooley Road was a rural area. By necessity, to provide for septic systems and private wells, the lots are large and deep. The placement of the existing residences are varied; some are setback a distance from the road while others, usually more recent, are much closer. Many of the homes are from the 60's and were built as bungalows with a mixture of wood and brick veneer siding. Garages may be attached, detached or not present at all. More recently built homes tend to be two-storey with brick and/or stone veneer with attached two or three car garages. 3.2 Since 1976, these lands have been within the Courtice Urban Area. This area has been identified for urbanization on full municipal services. In 1984, the R1 zone was applied to the frontages of most properties in anticipation of the urbanization. The R1 zone allows for single detached dwellings on 15 metre wide lots or semi- detached or linked dwellings on 18 metre wide lots; approximately 9 metres for each unit. 3.3 A number of the properties on the west side of Tooley Road have severed the rear portion of their lots for sale to developers. However, in this process, the retained lots vary greatly between 28 metres to over 100 metres in depth, which is quite deep for urban lots. In part this is due to the placement of the existing homes further back than the minimum setback. One of the most consistent attributes of the neighbourhood is the mature vegetation along both sides of the road. This reflects the age of the residences and the large setbacks from the road which has allowed for well -vegetated front yards. The last element is the road itself. The greater portion of Tooley Road within the Courtice urban area has curb and gutter with the exception of the very north section. There are no sidewalks despite its collector road status. Although it has been referred to as a great place to walk and bike because of its roadside ambience, there will need to be improvement in the coming years for walkability and pedestrian safety. 4. Provincial Policy 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential; employment; recreation, park and open space; and other uses to meet long term needs. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, as it is consistent with healthy, livable and safe communities by accommodating an 12-16 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Page 7 appropriate mix of residential dwelling types and is sensitive to the characteristics of the neighbourhood. 4.2 Provincial Growth Plan The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing population growth to settlement areas such as the Courtice Urban Area. Municipalities are encouraged to create complete communities that offer a mix of land uses, employment and housing options, high quality open space, and access to stores and services. The subject area is mainly within the Built-up Area of the Growth Plan, with the exception of some of the medium density lands at the north end of the subject area. The Growth Plan includes policies to direct development to settlement areas, and provides direction for intensification targets within Built-up Areas. The proposal provides opportunities for intensification within an existing residential area and is consistent with the Growth Plan. 5. Official Plans 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Areas and Major Open Space. Lands designated as Living Areas permit the development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. The proposed change is consistent with the Living Areas designation. Lands designated Major Open Space are to be conserved, which the proposed change will also accomplish. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan This neighbourhood is designated Urban Residential and Environmental Protection Area with a medium density symbol at the north end of the subject area on the west side of Tooley Road. The lands are within the Worden Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 3900 and a housing unit target of 1300, including 85 medium density units and 50 units for intensification. The Urban Residential designation allows a (low) density of 10 to 30 units per net hectare with the predominant form of housing being single and semi-detached dwellings. The area of the neighbourhood with the medium density symbol allows a density of 31 to 60 units per net hectare with the predominant form of housing being townhouses, low rise apartments and mixed use developments. 12-17 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Page 8 Tooley Road is a collector road with a planned width of 23-26 metres and sidewalks are intended to be on both sides. The revised Worden East Neighbourhood Design Plan was approved February 11, 2016 in harmony with the Clarington Official Plan, as amended. 6. Zoning By-law Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands lands "Urban Residential Type One (R1)" Zone, which permits single detached dwellings on 15 metre (minimum) lots and semi-detached or linked dwellings on 18 metre (minimum) lots. The current front yard setback is 4.5 metres to the dwelling and 6 metres to the garage or carport. 7. Public Notice and Submissions 7.1 The Public Notice was given by mail to landowners within 120 metres of the subject site in accordance with the Planning Act. The notice also advised of a Public Information Centre on April 12, 2016 at White Cliffe Terrace Retirement Residence in Courtice. 7.2 As of writing this report, Staff have received numerous comments. A number of individuals who live on Tooley Road have commented on the proposal. 7.3 Public Information Centre Three Staff from the Planning Services Department and one member of Council attended the Public Information Centre on Tuesday April 12, 2016. 29 people attended the meeting including area residents and land owners. The comments are summarized below: • Support for the proposed Zoning By-law changes; • Concern from some residents regarding moving the Environmental Protection zone boundary to match the current Environmental Protection Area designation in the Official Plan; • Concern with parking issues on Tooley Road; • More green space and trails are needed in the area • Keep the Environmental Study Area, identified on the Worden East Neighbourhood Design Plan, as green space; • Do not allow clear cutting of trees. 12-18 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Paae 9 7.4 Through submissions on this proposal, area residents have expressed support for the proposed zoning changes. The submissions received to date concur that allowing only single detached dwellings on wider lots with greater front yard setbacks on the low density portion of Tooley Road will help to ensure that future development will maintain some of the character of the existing neighbourhood while allowing intensification by infilling and redevelopment of some properties. 7.5 One resident submitted that they were concerned about the potential for their property to become legal non -conforming if the minimum required frontage is increased from 15 metres to 17 metres. Any existing lot whether developed or vacant that becomes legal non -conforming as a result of the proposed changes will be subject to the new zone regulations should the owner wish to build new or expand an existing dwelling. The proposed 17 metre minimum frontage only affects the creation of new lots or lot line adjustments. The proposed 17 metre minimum frontage requirement has no effect on existing lots that would fall below that new threshold. 8. Agency Comments Comments are outstanding from Central Lake Ontario Conservation and the Region of Durham Planning Department. 9. Departmental Comments Clarington Engineering Services concerns have been addressed through the amendments to the Neighbourhood Design Plan. 10. Discussion 10.1 The proposed changes to the Zoning By-law implements the Council resolution in response to comments from residents of Tooley Road to permit single detached dwellings on larger lots with greater setbacks. As part of the rezoning of the subject area, the EP zone limits are being adjusted to match the Environmental Protection Area designation boundary as currently contained within the Clarington Official Plan. 10.2 Should Council pass a by-law to change the zone regulations for the subject area, lands that are designated Environmental Protection Area in the Clarington Official Plan within the subject area and currently zoned Urban Residential Type One (R1) would have to be rezoned to be in conformity with the Official Plan. 12-19 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Page 10 This means that the area zoned Environmental Protection (EP) in the Worden East Neighbourhood would expand to match that which is designated Environmental Protection Area (see Figure 3). 10.3 Regarding the concern stated about parking on Tooley Road, any future single detached dwelling lots on Tooley Road will have driveways capable of accommodating a minimum of two vehicles. In many cases, recently constructed driveways have been designed to accommodate more than two vehicles in addition to two or three car garages being built on newer lots. The Municipal Traffic and Parking By-law permits three hours of on -street parking on any municipal road, unless otherwise posted. Residents requiring on -street parking for periods longer than three hours (in permitted parking areas), can purchase a Parking Permit from the Municipality. 10.4 The proposed zoning changes do not affect the Environmental Study Area identified on the Worden East Neighbourhood Design Plan with the exception of the frontage of 3336 and 3362 Tooley Road, which is currently zoned R1 and would continue to be zoned for residential purposes the same way as the lands to the south. 12-20 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Page 11 Figure 3: Existing and Proposed Zoning Existing Zoning Proposed EP Zoning Clarington Offical Plan EP ® Proposed R1 -XX Zoning Proposed R3 -XX Zoning J 12-21 i� f: .mss •.-• ..- 12-21 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -029-16 Page 12 11.

Report To: Planning and Development Committee Date of Meeting: April 25, 2016 Report Number: PSD -030-16 Resolution Number: File Number: PLN 39.7 By-law Number: Report Subject: Joint Application for a Durham Community Energy Plan Recommendations: That Report PSD -030-16 be received; 2. That the Municipality of Clarington participate in the coordinated Community Energy Plan proposal with the Region of Durham, other Durham Region municipalities, and local utilities; 3. That, subject to award of grant funding from the provincial Municipal Energy Plan Program, the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign a collaborative agreement with the Region of Durham, regarding the preparation of a Durham Region Community Energy Plan; and 4. That all interested parties listed in Report PSD -030-16 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 12-27 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -030-16 Page 2 Report Overview The purpose of this report is to request Council's approval to participate in the collaborative development of a Durham Community Energy Plan with the Regional Municipality of Durham, the seven other local lower -tier municipalities, and the local utility providers, with funding support being pursued from Ontario's Municipal Energy Plan Program. The energy plan would examine how energy is used, shared and invested across all of Durham Region, helping to define both regional and local priorities around energy with a view to improving efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting economic development. The collaborative approach that is proposed presents an opportunity to leverage time and resources in developing a community energy plan and implementing actions, and ensures coordination across all utilities and local levels of government. To date, all of Durham Region's lower -tier municipalities, except the Municipality of Clarington, have provided a letter of support for the joint Municipal Energy Plan Program application and proposed cost sharing responsibilities. 1. Background 1.1. Efficient energy use is a provincial priority as reflected in the Planning Act, the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, the Green Energy Act, and the Places to Grow Act. In addition, Ontario's Long -Term Energy Plan includes a significant push to increase energy savings through the Conservation First Framework. While this initiative will be delivered primarily through programs developed by local distribution companies, the Long -Term Energy Plan also includes an initiative for municipalities to play a direct role in energy planning by developing Municipal Energy Plans (MEP). 1.2. In August 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Energy launched the MEP Program to support municipalities' efforts in local and long-term energy planning. The MEP Program provides successful applicants with funding for fifty percent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $90,000, for the development of a MEP. 1.3. In November 2015, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change released their updated Climate Change Strategy, which included an interim target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 37% below 1990 levels by 2030 and a long-term target of reducing emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. In the Climate Change Strategy, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change noted that collaboration between municipalities, businesses, industry and residents across the province will be key in helping Ontario to reach its targets. 1.4. The Region of Durham has identified the preparation of a MEP as a key component of climate change mitigation and adaptation planning for the community. Further, it presents an important opportunity for planning of projected growth and development, and enhancing local economic development. Such a plan takes substantial effort in data collection, analysis and community consultation. As such, the collaborative development 12-28 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -030-16 Page 3 of a Durham Community Energy Plan, involving all of the local municipalities and local utilities with funding support pursued from Ontario's MEP Program has been proposed. 1.5. The purpose of this report is to request Council's approval to participate in the Durham Community Energy Plan Proposal and, subject to confirmation of grant funding, authorize the signing of a partnership agreement with the Region of Durham. 2. What is a Municipal Energy Plan? 2.1. A MEP is a comprehensive long-term plan that serves to define community priorities around energy. It aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and foster green energy solutions at the local level, while helping to plan ahead for future growth and development, and energy generation, delivery and use in a community. A MEP helps municipalities to: • Assess community energy use and greenhouse gas emissions; • Identify opportunities to conserve, improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions; • Consider the impact of future growth and options for local clean energy generation; and • Support local economic development leading to more sustainable communities. 2.2. A MEP considers long-term energy generation, consumption, infrastructure, economic growth, and land -use planning. It encompasses a community's residential, commercial and industrial sectors, as well as institutional and transportation energy use and water use. 2.3. Benefits of developing a MEP can include: • Identifying and addressing potential energy limitations; • Articulation of a community energy vision for others to invest in; • Retention of energy dollars within the community; • Reduction in air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; • Fostering local sustainable energy solutions in the community; • Increased energy security and resilience; • Optimizing infrastructure costs; and • Leveraging greater community collaboration. 2.4. Over the past five years an increasing number of municipalities across Ontario and Canada have undertaken the development of MEP. Early adopters in Ontario include Burlington, East Gwillimbury, Guelph, London and Markham. 12-29 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -030-16 . Paae 4 2.5. Examples of priority actions that may be identified through the development of a MEP for implementation by the local or regional municipality, or other key energy players in the community are listed below: • Designing and targeting conservation programs to a specific segment of the community's older residential building stock, as identified by the plan's energy mapping exercise, coupled with exploring the use of local improvement charges to support financing of energy efficiency retrofits; • Enhancing the capacity of municipal staff to consider passive energy and sustainable building measures to conserve energy through the development approvals process, where feasible; • Including a policy in future Secondary Plans that requires developers to submit an Energy Plan as part of a complete application for a Plan of Subdivision where the total number of proposed units exceeds a specific threshold; • Studying the concept of greywater 'hubs', similar to water towers, to promote the use of greywater or the harvesting of rainwater; • Adjusting densities for specific areas of the community, as identified by energy mapping (e.g. designated transit hub), increasing the overall target for number of homes; • Preparing an urban forest strategy and business plan; • Completing a detailed assessment of cycling infrastructure in the community to identify gaps for improvement through the municipality's transportation master plan; • Designing and implementing an education program targeting the industrial and commercial sector to promote energy efficiency, share best practices and resources, and provide guidance on applying for available energy efficiency incentive programs; • Developing a detailed business plan for a municipal district energy entity to service specific high heating density planning districts, as identified by the plan; • Undertaking a feasibility assessment for the use of source -separated organic waste as a feedstock for the production of bioenergy products as part of a municipality's waste diversion strategy; 2.6. Municipalities are already mandated to prepare a corporate energy management plan. Encouraging energy conservation at the broader community level through the development of an MEP is viewed by the province as complimentary initiative that will further support provincial long term energy goals. 3. The Durham Community Energy Plan Proposal 3.1. The Durham Community Energy Plan (DCEP) Proposal represents a collaborative approach to the Ministry of Energy's MEP Program. The partnership would include the Region of Durham, the eight lower -tier municipalities, and the five local utility providers. 12-30 Municipality of Clarington Resort PSD -030-16 Page 5 3.2. The DCEP would determine how energy should be generated, delivered and used for the period 2015 (base year) to 2050 and identify both Region -wide and local priorities. The objectives of the DCEP are to: • Set goals, targets and timelines for energy supply and demand management in Durham; • Identify and assess opportunities to develop local sources of energy generation, co - and tri- generation, district energy, energy storage and smart energy networks, factoring in local land use, transportation, climate, waste and water plans and strategies; • Provide the data and market intelligence to enhance local conservation and demand management / demand side management programs for electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuels in Durham and assist in integration, promotion and implementation of these programs; • Identify the business case and local economic impacts of these programs and projects and how they can contribute to the economic development of Durham; • Identify appropriate next steps and mechanisms for the Region, local municipalities, utilities and others to implement the DCEP. 3.3. The development of the DCEP will follow the three -stage process required by the provincial MEP Program. An additional fourth stage is also proposed, which will focus on presenting the DCEP to all partner agencies and other appropriate organizations and advancing the implementation process. The four stages are briefly described below: Stage 1: Stakeholder Engagement— Building awareness of current energy use, identifying conservation objectives and local energy champions, and securing local interest and involvement in the development of the DCEP. Stage 2: Baseline Energy Study and Energy Mapping — Identifying how and where energy is used within a community and spatially analysing opportunities for energy reduction. Stage 3: Community Energy Plan Development — Evaluation of regional and local energy conservation opportunities and development of a plan that includes program and policy recommendations aimed at reducing energy use in the community, approved by Municipal Council. Stage 4: Implementation Plan — Integration of priorities into municipal operational priorities and plans and land use planning processes, and development of a short- and long-term implementation strategy across the Corporation. A preliminary work program and timeline for the DCEP is provided as Attachment 1. The MEP Program requires that projects be completed within a two year timeframe. 3.4. To support development of the DCEP, funding will be sought from the Ministry of Energy's MEP Program in the amount of $90,000. Matching funds, as required by the MEP Program, will be from the partner proponents bringing the total to $180,000. The Municipality's contribution would include providing staff time for the project's Steering 12-31 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -030-16 Paae 6 Committee and to provide existing planning data, review reports and prepare comments, and a financial contribution of $4,000 in 2016 and 2017 ($8,000 total). 3.5. As indicated in the work program (Attachment 1), broad community stakeholder involvement is planned throughout the project, involving workshops with a Stakeholder Council composed of representatives from local post -secondary institutions, large industry, environmental organizations, boards of trade and chambers of commerce, school boards, local energy companies and the land development and building industry. 4. Discussion 4.1. Community energy planning is a local level planning process that aims to achieve sustainability goals through the management of energy production and consumption. While municipalities are only required to undertake corporate energy management plans, community-based planning is increasingly being encouraged to achieve broader energy conservation goals. Further, increasing the efficiency of energy use, substitution of fuels with lower greenhouse gas impacts, energy conservation efforts, and increasing the protection and resilience of energy generation and distribution capacity are often key components of climate change mitigation and adaptation plans. 4.2. The Municipality has not yet undertaken the development of a climate change mitigation and/or adaptation strategy. Local action planning for climate change is generally similar to the objectives of community energy planning. For some municipalities, the development of a community energy plan has been an approach taken on climate change as it includes a coordinated identification of community priorities. 4.3. The DCEP Proposal supports Council's strategic plan priorities as it relates to building a sustainable community, supporting economic growth, community engagement, and cost prudence. It also supports the implementation of both existing and proposed policy related to sustainable development, energy conservation and efficiency, and addressing climate change, and can inform the preparation of future Secondary Plans, transportation master planning, and updates to the Corporate Energy Management Plan. 4.4. Community energy planning takes substantial effort in data collection, analysis and community consultation. The DCEP Proposal is based on collaboration and partnership across the community, offering greater opportunity to leverage time and resources in developing a community energy plan and implementing the recommended priorities than would be available to the Municipality if independently pursued in the future. 4.5. It is important to recognize that the DCEP Proposal is largely a planning exercise. Like any strategy, implementation is critical to the success of the initiative. A lack of support within an organization or from higher levels of government, funding, and resources include common barriers to implementation for community energy plans. Participation in the DCEP will require close examination during Stage 4, across multiple departments, of the identified priorities that would be the responsibility of the Municipality (in whole or in part). Opportunities and challenges for integration within existing operations and programs, and municipal budget processes would need to be considered. 12-32 Municipality of Clarington Reoort PSD -030-16 5. Financial Considerations Page 7 5.1. Subject to the award of grant funding from the provincial MEP Program, the Municipality's contribution to the collaborative project is $4,000 in 2016 and 2017 ($8,000 total), in addition to staff time. The financial contribution would be drawn from the Planning Services Department consulting budget. 6. Concurrence Not Applicable 7. Conclusion 7.1. A collaborative approach to community energy planning involving the Region of Durham, all of the local municipalities and the local utilities, and including provincial funding support, has been proposed in order to examine how energy is used, shared and invested across all of Durham Region. 7.2. Participation by the Municipality provides the opportunity to realize cost and resource savings. The concept of community energy planning aligns with Municipal strategies, priorities, policy and programs, and supports climate action and economic development. However, success will require a close review of recommended priorities and implementation planning across the Corporation. 7.3. Staff recommend that Council support participation in the DCEP Proposal, including signing of a partnership agreement with the Region of Durham subject to the confirmation of grant funding form the Ministry of Energy's MEP Program. 8.

Report To: Planning and Development Committee Date of Meeting: April 25, 2016 Report Number: PSD -031-16 Resolution Number: File Number: D19.GE By-law Number: Report Subject: Identifying and recognizing Clarington's lost hamlets Recommendations: 1. That Report PSD -031-16 be received; 2. That the Clarington Heritage website be utilized to identify and communicate the history regarding Clarington's lost hamlets, and 3. That all. interested parties listed in Report PSD -031-16 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 12-35 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -031-16 Report Overview Page 2 Council passed resolution #PD -081-15 requesting a report on identifying Clarington's lost hamlets and their history. The Clarington Heritage Committee has been consulted and staff have researched how other municipalities recognize lost hamlets. Staff are recommending that the Clarington Heritage website be better utilized to identify lost hamlets and to share their history for all to see. 1. Background In November 2015, two residents contacted Councillor Partner with respect to erect a sign to recognize Cowanville as a historic settlement area. At the December 14, 2015 Council meeting Council approved resolution #PD -081-15 directing staff to prepare a report to have the Municipality be proactive in identifying the names of our lost hamlets and erecting appropriate signage to identify them and their history for all to see. Staff have consulted with the Clarington Heritage Committee, researched how other municipalities recognize their former settlement areas or lost hamlets and reviewed potential issues that might impact emergency services. 2. Historical Information and Recognition 2.1 Background Clarington has a rich history and former settlements or lost hamlets form an important part of that rich history. In many cases former settlements or hamlets were the earliest settlements in Darlington and Clarke, now Clarington. These early settlements paved the way for some of the current urban areas or were key settlements along trade routes through Durham Region. Many of these former settlements were the casualties of decisions that saw rail lines or major roads built in locations that didn't service these areas. Some of these areas also saw decline in prominence with improvements in agricultural production, technology, and transportation that led to population decline in rural areas, closure of schools, churches and general stores. In other cases these former settlements became part of urban areas as our community grew and are now part of either Courtice or Bowmanville. 2.2 Road Signage The primary purpose of road signage is to provide information to the driving public. The signage relates to rules of the road, directional information, gateway signage identifying a location and addresses for the 911 system. Generally, road signage is meant to communicate information quickly and in a concise manner to the passing public. 12-36 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -031-16 Paqe 3 The Region of Durham has gateway signing guidelines and have installed such signage for all existing Clarington hamlets and urban areas. These areas are well defined areas known to emergency services, municipal staff and residents alike. Signs for lost hamlets would not be permitted on Regional road allowances. One of the concerns with signing lost hamlets in a similar manner to current hamlets and settlement areas is that lost hamlets are not well geographically defined, not identified in municipal mapping and may not be well known to residents who did not grow up in the area. Signage could create confusion and could actually have an impact on navigation by the passing public or even emergency response. . Staff did not find any other municipalities that used road signage or gateway signage to commemorate former settlement areas that have few or no remaining elements. It is possible that some signage exists for areas that may not be considered hamlets today but no formal policy or current practice could be identified. The cost for one sign would be approximately $500 including installation costs. 2.3 Heritage Committee Comments The Clarington Heritage Committee agree that these former settlement areas are integral pieces of Clarington's history and heritage and that recognizing and documenting them is vital to understanding our past. There are many local history books, some by the Clarington Heritage Committee and others by local residents, about Darlington, Clarke and the former settlement areas within Clarington. Many of these publications are available to purchase at the Clarington Museum, the Clarington Library also has copies of many of the local history documents. These publications are valuable resources for conducting research and searching family histories. Greater access to these resources can also be provided through the internet to engage a range of ages and people beyond the local community. In 2012, the Clarington Heritage website was established. The website primarily provides information on designated heritage properties, Municipal Register properties and information relating to the designation process. In 2015, the Clarington Heritage Committee identified that the Clarington Heritage website should be updated and better utilized as a resource for public outreach and education. Their work on this goal is ongoing. In January 2016 the Clarington Heritage Committee passed a resolution recommending that lost hamlets information be made readily available on the Clarington Heritage website. The concept of signage along the roadside was not preferred by the committee as they felt there was little benefit to identifying a site to the passing public when the history of the site cannot be told; in many cases the buildings or other physical markers that related to the site no longer exist. 12-37 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -031-16 Paae 4 2.4 Municipal Examples on Recognizing Former Settlement Areas Staff conducted research into how other municipalities document or recognize former settlement areas. A majority of information appears to be documented through print material, similar to what we currently have for Clarington's lost hamlets. Clarington has at least 30 settlement areas that could be considered "lost" (Attachment 1). There are other settlement areas that no longer go by their historical names; and some have over time been incorporated into our growing urban areas. Some municipalities use some different forms of commemoration and share information through different mediums, in addition to print material. Mississauga is one municipality that uses their heritage website very effectively to communicate their history, especially about their former hamlet areas. Municipal heritage websites are becoming more common and are being used to display information that may be in print, archives, old newspapers etc. to make them more available to the public. Another form of commemoration that some municipalities have engaged in is interpretive signage or plaques. These informational signs give the history of a site in the location of where an event happened or a building used to be located. In order for these signs to be effective and have an impact in telling the history of a place they need to be located in high foot traffic areas encouraging the passing public to stop and read the information provided. To date, the Municipality has not had an interpretive signage program, with the exception of within parks or municipal buildings and in recognition of designated heritage buildings. 3. Discussion 3.1 Identifying, conserving and communicating Clarington's history to current and future generations is an important task. The goal of telling the story or history of Clarington's lost hamlets is to relay information about those former areas and their importance to present and future generations. Many methods of communicating our history exists for different situations and audiences. Picture the Way We Were, a local history book, published in 1980 identifies approximately 30 areas that could be considered a lost hamlet or former settlement area. There are additional areas that have been identified in other publications. Each of these lost hamlets has different characteristics: what it once was, what remains, the presence of institutional buildings like churches and schools, how long they existed, etc. It is extremely difficult to determine criteria of what should be commemorated and in what way when all are reviewed collectively. 3.2 Road signage relays important information quickly to the passing public. Road signage may not be the most effective way to communicate the history or importance of a lost hamlet and may confuse the passing public or in some circumstances create confusion in the case of an emergency. 12-38 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -031-16 Page 5 3.3 From a planning perspective, entrance signage may create confusion with respect to applicable planning policies. A previous petition to have Bradley's Corners recognized as a "rural cluster" for its historic significance was considered with thought that that this designation would bring greater safety improvements on Regional Road 34 and allow for lot severances for certain owners. A homemade sign was erected by the residents. While there was broad support for historic recognition, this became a contentious community issue when it was eventually understood that the cluster designation would allow development. It was subsequently denied by Regional Council. While it is possible to distinguish between a "lost hamlet" and a real hamlet, there is the distinct possibility for confusion about applicable development rights. 3.4 All of these lost hamlets have a history or story to tell. The Clarington Heritage website is a resource that could be utilized as an effective way to compile and communicate information to current and future residents about Clarington's history and lost hamlets. This would ensure all of Clarington's lost hamlets can be recognized and all their stories told. 4. Concurrence Not Applicable 5. Conclusion Clarington has a rich history that should be identified, conserved and communicated to current and future generations. The Clarington Heritage Committee has been consulted and staff has researched how other municipalities commemorate and tell the history of their former settlement areas. It is recommended that entrance signage to lost hamlets not be pursued due to: • Difficulty in developing selection criteria for which of the 30 hamlets/clusters should be recognized; • Regional policy which only permits entrance signs for designated hamlets, potentially preventing some lost hamlets from recognition; • Potential confusion from an emergency perspective; and • Potential; confusion with applicable planning policies. The Clarington Heritage website is a resource that could be utilized as an effective way to compile and communicate information to current and future residents about Clarington's history and lost hamlets. This would ensure all of Clarington's lost hamlets can be recognized and all their stories told. 6.

Clarington has identified two concerns to be addressed through conditions of development approval. They are potential impacts to wells of nearby Clarington residents and compliance with the Boundary Road Agreement, 1. Application Details 1.1 Owners/Applicants: Regita Enterprise Inc./Schleiss Dev.

Background 2.1 The City of Oshawa circulated the Municipality of Clarington on Feb. 12, 2016 the referenced applications for Proposed Plan of Subdivision since both applications were located within one kilometre of the Clarington boundary. The applications have been reviewed by Clarington Planning Services and Clarington Engineering Services. The applications are north of Conlin Road and west of Townline Road. 2.2 A Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Investigation Report for the proposed residential development was submitted in support of the most easterly application. The Study, for Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-0-2014-04, acknowledged the presence of both drilled and shallow dug/bored wells in the 250 metre study area but noted that groundwater will generally be below the depth of future development, that the proposed subdivision is suitable from a hydrogeological perspective, and that minimal impacts are expected for both surface water and groundwater as a result of this future development provided appropriate design and planning is undertaken prior to and during construction. The Study concluded further geotechnical testing should be conducted at the locations for stacked townhouses and 3 to 4 storey apartment buildings. 2.3 There are only a few Clarington homes in the vicinity of these Oshawa subdivisions. The above Study does not specifically mention them. It is accepted that any impacts from Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-0-2014-05 would end in and be overshadowed by impacts from Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-0- 2014-04. 12-45 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -032-16 Page 5 Figure 3: Area in the Vicinity of Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-0-2014-04 12-46 City of � Municipality s a I of Clarington I 1 Subject Site I oti S-0-2014-04 School Medium 'lei Block' Density I V I Y I I o Z I o 5® r Q I Study I w Y Area z I ° I Medium IDensity SWP I l Medium CONLIN ROAD Density CONCESSION ROAD 5 Al ML H r1lilli 111111111JUXEl M S-0-2014-04 Figure 3: Area in the Vicinity of Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-0-2014-04 12-46 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -032-16 3. Discussion Page 6 3.1 As noted, the S-0-2014-05 Plan of Subdivision abuts the other Plan of Subdivision: S-0-2014-04, which is on the northwest corner of Townline Road North and Conlin Road East. With the exception of a small segment of road at the south end of the subject lands, the road allowance is unopened; no road has been constructed. Townline Road is the boundary between the City of Oshawa and the Municipality of Clarington with the lands on the Clarington side being in the Protected Countryside Area of the Greenbelt, in contrast to the urban area on the Oshawa side. Given both provincial policies and Durham Regional Official Plan policies no urban development is anticipated on the Clarington side. 3.2 This sharp land use divide is reflected in the Oshawa-Clarington Boundary Road Agreement, last updated in 2006. Construction costs on Townline Road due to Oshawa development are the responsibility of Oshawa alone. The City of Oshawa and the developer shall pay for 100% of the cost of all road construction to a full urban standard across the full width of the road section (including, but not limited to all services, road infrastructure, boulevards, sidewalks, street trees, street lighting) along the entire Townline Road North frontage of the Oshawa Subdivision — S-0-2014-004 and any external road improvements which may be required to facilitate the above subdivision. Design of any external improvements which are required on any portion of Townline Road North such as intersection improvements at the Townline/Conlin intersection must be reviewed and approved by the Clarington Director of Engineering Services. 3.3 The Boundary Road Agreement stipulates the City of Oshawa shall be 100% responsible for maintenance and repair of the relevant portion of Townline Road North after new construction. The Boundary Road Agreement must be amended to identify this new portion of Townline Road North under Oshawa's jurisdiction and responsibility. 3.4 The developer will be responsible for maintaining Townline Road North free of mud, dust and debris as directed by the City of Oshawa during construction. 3.5 Where development is adjacent to rural land uses that rely on private wells and septic systems, a hydrogeological study is typically undertaken prior to development occurring to consider potential impacts on nearby wells and identify measures to mitigate any potential negative impacts. As noted in Section 2.2 of Report PSD -032-16, for Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-0-2014-04, a Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Study, including a review of wells in the vicinity on both sides of the boundary, was undertaken and submitted in support of the application. There have been no issues with the development of the large Silwell 12-47 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -032-16 Page 7 Developments and Metrontario Group Plan of Subdivision immediately south of Conlin Road (S-0-2001-003). 3.6 The Hydrogeological and Geotechnical Study states that lands to the north, east and west are in various stages of development and will be municipally serviced in the future. This in fact is not correct as the lands east of Townline Road North are in the Provincial Greenbelt and are not to be developed or serviced. 3.7 Based on groundwater observations, the above Study does not anticipate groundwater seepage to be a significant issue during open excavation. However it does note that hydraulic conductivities can vary over a vertical and horizontal extent and may be outside the identified range. 3.8 The above Study further noted that 33% of the well records reviewed were for dug/bored wells. Of the eleven wells identified in Appendix C to the report, five were on the Clarington side of Townline Road. Two of the five were drilled wells; two had no information as the owners were not home when the survey was done; and one was identified as having a drilled/dug well and that the dug well runs out of water in the fall. 3.9 The above Study provides no recommendations in terms of existing wells and potential well interference. It is not clear if in part this is because of the assumption that all surrounding lands would be municipally serviced in the future. 3.10 The Region has a well interference policy in the event of any interference that is caused by the development. To assist in ensuring appropriate data is collected, in the event of an interference, staff believe that the five existing homeowners in Clarington should be offered continuous well monitoring commencing 12 months in advance of construction and continuing until 12 months after all services are constructed. 3.11 It is recommended as a condition of draft approval the S-0-2014-04 Owner/Applicant be required, 12 months prior to any servicing of the plan of subdivision, to retain a qualified professional to prepare and submit a well monitoring report to the satisfaction of the Municipality of Clarington and the Region of Durham Works Department. 3.12 The combination of existing Regional policy and the proposed well monitoring should help ensure nearby Clarington residents have an alternative water supply in the event of well interference problems. 4. Concurrence This report has been reviewed by the Director of Engineering Services who concurs with the recommendations. 12-48 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -032-16 5. Conclusion Page 8 It is respectfully recommended that the Municipality support the approval of the two Proposed Draft Plans of Subdivision, subject to the comments herein and the recommended condition(s) of draft approval. 6.

Application Details 1.1 Owner/Applicant: Michael and Cathy Clarke 1.2 Proposal: 19 lot estate residential subdivision 1.3 Area: 32 hectares 1.4 Location: Part Lot 1, Concession 2, former Township of Clarke (see Figure 1) 1.5 Roll Number: 030-010-05610 1.6 Within Built Boundary: No Figure 1: Subject Property 1252 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -033-16 Page 3 2. Background 2.1 In 1988, the Region of Durham approved an Official Plan Amendment to permit a 19 lot estate residential subdivision at the most easterly boundary of the Municipality. The implementing zoning by-law was approved by the Town of Newcastle in 1991. The Region Draft Approved the subdivision on July 21, 1992. 2.2 Prior to 1995, the Region of Durham was the subdivision approval authority. Plans of subdivision were draft approved with no time limit for obtaining final approval. In 2011, the Municipality of Clarington amended Conditions of Draft Approval for 18T-89007, by including an expiry date of 3 years to 2014. In 2014, an application for extension to Draft Approval was granted by the Director of Planning Services. At that time the Conditions of Draft Approval were amended by adding conditions to ensure development would proceed in keeping with current policies and guidelines and changed the expiry to April 27, 2016. 2.3 The Owners have retained an engineering firm to prepare engineering drawings as part of fulfilling conditions of draft approval, however, they cannot obtain final approval in advance of the April 27, 2016 expiry date. As a result, the Owners have requested an 18 month extension to October 27, 2017. 2.4 Complete engineering drawings are just one component of fulfilling conditions of draft approval, yet are integral to ensuring all the details of the development can proceed in keeping with various policies and guidelines. The engineering drawings are approved by the Municipality's Director of Engineering Services, the Conservation Authority, Region of Durham and in this instance, the Ministry of Transportation because the subject property abuts Highway 401. At the time of draft approval, the Township of Hope, (now the Municipality of Port Hope) had two conditions as follows: "10. That the Owner shall retain a professional engineer to prepare and submit a Master Drainage and Lot Grading Plan to the Town of Newcastle for approval. All plans and drawings must confirm to the Town's Design Criteria as amended from time to time. The Owner shall also submit a copy of this plan to the Township of Hope. 29. That prior to final approval of this plan, the Owner shall satisfy all requirements, financially and otherwise of the Township of Hope. This includes a contribution to Boundary Road." 2.5 Since receiving the first engineering submission, the staff at the Municipality of Port Hope advised Clarington of concerns with the estate residential subdivision. Following a meeting with staff from Port Hope, a letter was received requesting that a number of conditions be added and recommended that an extension to draft approval not be granted stating that the draft approved plan does not conform to and is not consistent with provincial policy directives. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -033-16 4 On March 31, 2016, a further objection was received from Port Hope regarding a requirement that Open Space Block 21 be merged with Lot 14. In their view, the Open Space Block would be required for a future interchange at Townline Road East and Highway 401. In addition, the more northerly Open Space Block 20 should have a second access on Regional Road 2. The draft plan was redlined as a condition of draft approval by the Region of Durham in 1992 (see Attachment 2). 3. Discussion 3.1 The Municipality of Port Hope is requesting an amendment to the most recent Conditions of Draft Approval (2014) that are beyond the original request. The amendment includes the requirement for 8 additional studies and compliance with Port Hope's Site Alteration and Fill By -Law: One of the studies requested was to determine the amount of land required to build an interchange at East Townline Road to support rural employment. Detailed stormwater management plans and studies were submitted by the applicant's engineering consultant with the engineering submission in September 2015. Both Clarington Engineering Services, Ministry of Transportation and the Conservation Authority support, in principle the engineering, however require additional information with the second engineering submission. The Township of Hope in its condition of Draft Approval in 1992, only requested a copy of the approved Master Grading and Lot Grading Plan but did not specifically request to approve the drawings. 3.2 Staff are of the opinion that some of the requests have either been satisfied, such as the hydrogeological study which was peer reviewed and accepted by the Region of Durham in 2015; not permitted such as communal systems which are contrary to the Region's Official Plan; or studies that are not relevant to the draft plan and appear to be geared to support development on land external to the draft plan such as an interchange which is not identified in the relevant Official Plans or by the Ministry of Transportation. Additional conditions requiring studies or assessments to address the impacts of this development on natural heritage features, emergency services and soft services in an adjacent municipality are not warranted, nor is a traffic impact study to assess intersection improvements generated by 19 estates residential lots. 3.3 The subject property is identified as Protected Countryside in the Province's Greenbelt Plan of 2005. The approvals for this development were granted prior to the Greenbelt Plan and Provincial Policy Statement coming into effect in 2005 and as such development can proceed provided the Conditions of Draft Approval can be satisfied. 3.4 The Director of Planning Services has delegated authority for the disposition of subdivisions and is recommending an eighteen month extension and that no further extensions be granted. This application has been draft approved for almost 24 years. The applicants have been granted numerous extensions and have not been able to obtain final approval. Furthermore, the subject site is in the Greenbelt and would not be 12-54 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -033-16 Page 5 permitted under current environmental policies in the Regional and Clarington Official Plans with the extension proposed, the approvals will have been in place for over 25 years. If it can't proceed by then, the approval should lapse. The conditions requested by The Municipality of Port Hope are not included in the amendment to the condition of draft approval. The Director of Planning Services will issue a Notice of Decision advising interested parties of the decision and advising of the appeal date which is 20 days after the decision is made, for anyone wishing to appeal. At that time, the Municipality of Port Hope may appeal the Director's decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. The applicant would be responsible for all costs associated with defending the extension to draft approval in the event of an appeal. 4. Conclusion The Owners are motivated to fulfill conditions of draft approval and register the plan. If an extension is not granted the conditions will lapse and. the draft approved plan will expire. It is respectfully recommended that the extension of draft approval for eighteen months, being October 27, 2017 be approved. 5.

Report To: Planning and Development Committee Date of Meeting: April 25, 2016 Report Number: PSD -034-16 Resolution: File Number: PLN 23.6.2, R75.12.01 By-law Number: Report Subject: Region Road Rationalization Study: Implications for Historic Downtowns Recommendations: 1. That Report PSD -034-16 be received for information; Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -034-16 Report Overview Page 2 The Region has initiated a Road Rationalization Study to assign ownership and responsibility for certain roads to the most appropriate municipal authority. This will see some regional roads transferred to local municipalities and certain municipal roads uploaded to the Region. This report is to alert Council of this process and address some initial concerns from a community land use perspective with respect to historic downtowns. 1. Background 1.1 The Region of Durham has pursued road rationalization as a priority for many years as it relates to municipal service delivery, network usage, growth trends, the Highway 407 extension, and alignment with transit initiatives. Regional staff have been directed to work with area municipalities to identify and transfer road segments to the most appropriate municipal authority. Much work has been done to develop a list of proposed road candidates for both near-term and longer term transfers and in January of 2016 the Region included a Road Rationalization Study as part of their 2016 Transportation Servicing and Financing Study. 1.2 On April 7, 2016 The Municipality of Clarington was advised that Regional Council had authorized staff to retain a third party consultant to work with local and regional staff in pursuing an aggressive schedule to further this initiative. HDR Consultants have been directed to work with area municipalities to review and confirm road rationalization criteria, identify current and future capital maintenance needs of transfer candidates, confirm road condition of candidate roads, establish a conditional schedule for transfers and facilitate discussions on proposed transfers. We have been advised that they intend to report to Regional Council with the results of this review in June of this year which imposes some very tight timelines. 1.3 Road Rationalization is primarily is under the responsibility of Engineering Services, with input from Operations, Finance and the Planning Services Department. Engineering Services will be looking at the following road segments (please see attachment 1): Local to Regional: Pebblestone Road — Townline Road to Courtice Road Holt Road — Highway 401 to Highway 2 Highway 2 Corridor o King Street — Reg. Rd. 57 to Haines Road o King Avenue — Baldwin St. to East of Library Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -034-16 Paqe 3 Regional to Local: Main Street (Reg. Rd. 17) — Taunton Rd. to Hwy. 35/115 1.4 Road Rationalization is an engineering exercise looking at road conditions, current and future capital and maintenance needs, transfer schedules and other technically oriented activities. In some instances however, such as is the case of King Street from Reg. Rd. 57 to Haines St., and King Street from Baldwin St. to east of the Newcastle Branch Library, there are larger issues at hand and it will be important to look beyond technical matter. Historic downtown cores need to be treated differently and both the business community and the community at large will need to have a say in how or if these transfers take place. Where there may be land use planning implications or impacts to our historic downtown cores, Engineering Services has requested our assistance to look at the potential transfers outlined above. Due to the aggressive schedule of the Region's study process, the Director of Engineering Services has requested that the Planning Director alert members of Council to these issues prior to the discussions with Regional staff on the week of April 25th. 2. Discussion 2.1 The Clarington Official Plan has the objective of developing Town and Village Centres as the focal points of economic, social, and cultural activities. The plan seeks to protect and enhance the vitality and character of historic downtowns. Throughout the Official Plan there are policies that recognize that historic downtowns have special significance to the community. 2.2 Clarington's historic downtowns and surrounding commercial areas are located along King Street in Bowmanville and King Avenue in Newcastle that are proposed to be transferred. 2.3 Our understanding is that the Region's interest in securing jurisdiction over King Street/King Avenue relates to their long term interest in bus rapid transit along Highway 2. The Region also has a strong interest in efficiency of vehicular transportation. When looking at a complete system of transportation modes, the historic downtowns give a very high priority to pedestrian travel. It also recognizes that there are on -street parking needs that help to keep downtown businesses competitive with other shopping facilities. Under the Region's jurisdiction, the long term plan would see bus rapid transit lanes along Highway 2. With the Region's jurisdiction over King Street/King Avenue, parking spaces could be removed either for additional vehicular lanes or for bus rapid transit lanes. The issue of on -street parking and a comfortable pedestrian environment is closely linked to the ongoing vitality of downtown businesses. 2.4 The transfer of King Street/King Avenue to the Region's ownership and jurisdiction has the following implications: • The Region is the owner of the street and controls street design, signalization and use of the road allowance, Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -034-16 Page 4 • Streetscape enhancements, entrance features, establishing outdoor cafes or parklets, public art and similar street animation activities would all be subject to Regional approval; • Road closure permits for BIA or other events would be obtained from the Region; • The Regional sign by-law would apply having many implications, such as overhanging signs, sandwich board signs, and across -the -street banners etc. • Encroachment agreements would be obtained from the Region; • Region would be requesting street widenings with from development application; • The Region tends to strictly enforce entrance requirements. Figure 1 and 2: Parklets Potential street animation enhancements like these summertime parklets in parking spaces may not be possible under Regional jurisdiction Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -034-16 Paqe 5 Business Improvement Areas 2.5 The general functions of a traditional BIA are to: • Oversee the improvement, beautification and maintenance of municipally -owned land, buildings and structures in the area beyond that provided at the expense of the municipality generally. • Promote the area as a business or shopping area. 2.6 The transfer of King Street/King Avenue to the Region's ownership and jurisdiction fundamentally changes the relationship of the BIAs from dealing strictly with the Municipality to dealing with both the Region and the Municipality. While Clarington is free to develop its own initiatives and policies with the BIAs, the Region would have a Region - wide perspective with much less flexibility as they would have to treat every area municipality and every BIA equally. 2.7 Staff consulted with the BIA's and Community Improvement Groups whom had the following comments: • The Bowmanville BIA is very concerned with the potential transfer of King Street to the Region's jurisdiction. Specifically, they have worked very hard for decades in partnership with the Municipality to fulfill the objectives put historic Downtown Bowmanville. They would be very concerned to lose their relationship with local government and their ability to continue with street festivals. • The Newcastle CIP committee and representative BIA members on the committee are not in favour of King Avenue being transferred over to the Region. There is concern that transfer to the Region would hamper community events (for which King Ave. is closed) and streetscape developments. 3. Concurrence This report has been prepared in concert with the Engineering Services Department and the Director of Engineering concurs 4. Conclusion The transfer of portions of King Street in Bowmanville and King Avenue in Newcastle raises many concerns. It is not simply a transportation issue. Downtowns are significant economic, social and cultural elements of the community. There is a concern that with the transfer of these roads to the Region's jurisdiction, there were be less flexibility for the community to control its destiny in the most important areas of the municipality. While being supportive of future transit improvements, regional jurisdiction is not necessary, particularly when balancing the many other community objectives. 5.
