Director of Planning Services Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer SAlCP/DJC/df 28 November 2005 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-141-05 PAGE 2 1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS 1.1 Applicant: Martindale Planning Services 1.2 Owner: Trustees of the Newtonville/Shiloh/Kendal Pastoral Charge 1.3 Rezoning: To rezone the subject lands from the “Residential Hamlet (RH) Zone” to an appropriate zone to permit the severance of the existing manse from the Newtonville United Church. 2 1.4 Site Area: Total Area = 3052.1 m 22 Retained parcel = 1852.1 m Severed Area = 1200 m 2.0 LOCATION 2.1 The subject lands are located at 2041 Newtonville Road, Newtonville (Attachment 1). The property is contained within Part Lot 8, Concession 2, in the former Township of Clarke. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On September 22, 2005, Bob Martindale of Martindale Planning Services, on behalf of the Trustees of the Newtonville/Shiloh/Kendal Pastoral Charge, submitted an application to the Municipality of Clarington to rezone the subject lot at 2041 Newtonville 2 Road to permit the severance of the existing manse with a lot area of 1200 m (0.29 2 acres.). The Newtonville United Church would retain a lot 1852 m(0.45 acres). 4.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The subject property currently contains the church, manse, a septic system for each, and some limited unstructured parking. At this time the driveway is shared. 4.2 Surrounding Uses: North Residential South: Residential East: Residential West: Residential 5.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY 5.1 The proposed rezoning application is within the Newtonville hamlet settlement area. The proposal is currently serviced by existing municipal water and has frontage on both a regional road and a local road. There will be no expansion of the hamlet boundary required or any new services required, thus the application meets provincial policy. REPORT NO.: PSD-141-05 PAGE 3 5.2 Within the Greenbelt Plan the subject lands are designated “Hamlet”. This application is to separate two existing uses that lawfully existed prior to the Greenbelt Plan and the property is within the Hamlet boundary. Thus, as there is no proposed expansion to the hamlet boundary the application meets the policies of the Greenbelt Plan. 6.0 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6.1 The lands are designated “Hamlet” in the Durham Region Official Plan. The Hamlet designation permits a variety of housing types as well as community facilities. 6.2 The lands are designated “Hamlet Residential” in the Clarington Official Plan. This designation permits low density residential uses, and other uses such as places of worship. Typically all new lots on septic systems must be a minimum of 0.4 ha in area. The Hamlet of Newtonville is serviced by a Regional water supply and thus the minimum lot size may be reduced by providing an engineering study that demonstrates that the soil and groundwater conditions can support reduced lot sizes without contaminating soil or groundwater. The proposed use conforms with the Clarington Official Plan. 7.0 ZONING BY-LAW 7.1 The subject lands are currently zoned “Residential Hamlet (RH)”. All new lots with an 2 “RH” zone are required to be a minimum of 4000 m in area. As noted above the minimum lot area may be reduced providing a satisfactory engineering study in support of the application is received. Thus the application has been submitted to reduce the lot area requirements. 8.0 PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 8.1 Public notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject site and a public meeting notice sign was installed on the property. 8.2 One inquiry was received for further information regarding the application. 9.0 AGENCY COMMENTS 9.1 At the writing of this report, comments have been received from Clarington Building Division, Clarington Engineering Services, Clarington Emergency Services, LACAC and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. 9.2 Clarington Engineering Services has no objection to the rezoning application but will require each proposed lot to have its own access to an open, maintained road. Application for access to Newtonville Road (Regional Road 18) is to be made to the Regional Works Department. REPORT NO.: PSD-141-05 PAGE 4 9.3 Clarington Building Division shall require that each building have a separate water connection directly to the road allowance. If separate water connections are not permitted or possible then an easement shall be required for the shared water service. 9.4 Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has no objection to the rezoning application. Permits will not be required from the Authority prior to any further development or construction on these lands. 9.5 Comments are outstanding from Regional Works, Regional Planning, Regional Health and Hydro One Networks Inc. 10.0 STAFF COMMENTS 10.1 The applicant has provided information to staff that the Newtonville United Church and manse have occupied the subject parcel since approximately 1880. From a review of air photos available to Staff, the site appears unchanged since 1992. 10.2 The current zoning permits single detached dwellings and places of worship. However, 2 each use would be required to have a minimum lot area of 4000 m. The total lot area 2 of this parcel is currently 3052.1 m and has legal non-complying status. 10.3 The Clarington Official Plan policies for Newtonville permit the reduction in lot area if municipal water services are available and the smaller lot size is supported based on the results of an engineering study. The lot currently has two existing separate septic systems servicing the manse and church separately. Staff must be satisfied that if the rezoning and severances are approved the two properties are able to accommodate reserve tile bed areas in addition to the existing septic systems without impacting adjacent properties. Given that the existing situation will not be altered as a result of the severance, staff will review with the Regional Health Department the merits of requiring a servicing study for this property. 10.4 The proposed severance will require an additional entranceway on Regional Road 18 for the manse lot. This does not meet Regional standards for access. The Region will be reviewing whether the circumstances will warrant an exception. 10.5 The proposed severed lot containing the manse will have adequate area to provide two outdoor parking spaces as required by the zoning by-law. The retained lot, where the church is situated, has not historically provided structured on-site parking. There is a driveway approximately 60 metres in length which handles some parking, and the grassed area at the rear of the church also has occasionally accommodated some parking. As parking has traditionally been on Church Street, staff find that the rezoning and related land divisions will not alter the existing parking situation. REPORT NO.: PSD-141-05 PAGE 5 11.0 RECOMMENDATION 11.1 In consideration of comments not received at the writing of this report, and that the purpose of this meeting is to fulfill the Planning Act requirements for a Public Meeting, it is recommended that the application be referred back to staff for further processing.
