Report Overview
The purpose of the attached zoning regulations is to implement the policies of the Courtice
Main Street Secondary Plan. Providing as-of-right permissions for mid-rise development along
Durham Highway 2 in Courtice will smooth the way to successful implementation.
The highlights of the zoning regulations include:
1. The intensification of people and building areas;
2. A mix of land uses;
3. Designing attractive streetscapes; and
4. Ensuring high quality urban design.
The purpose of this report is to formally present the proposed zoning regulations to the public.
1. Introduction
The Courtice Main Street (CMS) Secondary Plan was developed to help create a strong
identity for Courtice by promoting a dense, mixed-use, transit-oriented corridor with the
Town Centre as the focus of community activity.
The CMS Secondary Plan extends along Durham Highway 2 from Townline Road in the
west to Courtice Road in the east. It also includes additional properties at Trulls Road
which are a part of the future Town Centre for Courtice.
The CMS Secondary Plan includes a list of tools that will support the implementation of
the Secondary Plan’s policies. These tools are:
Zoning regulations that must be followed when developing land and constructing
new buildings;
A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to provide a set of financial incentives that
will help to implement the vision for the Courtice Main Street area; and
A detailed Urban Design Plan for the Town Centre which will demonstrate how all
of the properties in the Town Centre will be developed over time.
A draft of the proposed zoning for the east half of the CMS area is contained in
Attachment 1 of Report PSD-057-16. The west half of this area is not addressed at this
time because:
1. There is existing commercial zoning on much of the westerly portion of the Courtice
Main Street area. Therefore, this will be further addressed in the context of the
upcoming Zoning By-law Review.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-057-16 Page 3
2. There is a pending development application on the high density site beside the
Farewell Creek (the lands previously referenced by Mr. Jeff Goldman of Durham
Custom Homes), which may require site specific zoning regulations.
2. Principles of the CMS Secondary Plan
The CMS Secondary Plan contains a variety of complementary policies designed to
shape the long-term vision for the Courtice Main Street area. These policies can be
summarized by the following principles:
Intensification of people and building areas that are in keeping with the targets
set out in the Durham Regional Official Plan and are supportive of a walkable
environment and the development of a future rapid transit system;
A mix of land uses (residential and commercial) together on the same property
and even within the same building in order to minimize land consumption and
efficiently address complimentary needs;
Attractive streetscapes which include the thoughtful design of gateways,
greenway features, pedestrian nodes, bike facilities, sidewalks, street trees,
planted boulevards, lighting and street furniture, signage and specialty paving; and
High quality urban design of buildings and sites which contribute to a positive
image of the Courtice Main Street.
3. Proposed Zoning Regulations
3.1. New Zone Categories
The proposed zoning by-law amendment would establish three new zones, each with a
slightly different emphasis. They are as follows:
Residential Mixed Use Zone is first and foremost a residential zone allowing for
townhouse, stacked townhouse or apartments, depending on the height
permissions. Ground floor commercial uses are optional.
Commercial Mixed Use Zones are mandatory mixed-used development areas
with ground floor commercial and upper storey residential.
Town Centre Mixed Use Zones allows for a wider array of commercial uses (e.g.
supermarkets, larger floorplate stores, office buildings) within optional upper storey
residential.
3.2. Exception Zones
In some instances, exception zones have been created to recognize existing commercial
uses which previously submitted rezoning applications. It is the not the intention of these
zoning regulations to force existing businesses to close. However, it is hoped that, over
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-057-16 Page 4
time, these regulations will provide the opportunity for each property to consider a more
intensified development of their site than exists today.
The sites which have been provided with an exception zone include:
1540 Durham Highway 2 – Stuttering John’s
1556 Durham Highway 2 Drive - Connie Tang
1560 Durham Highway 2 – Courtice Chiropractic and Massage Therapy
1564 Durham Highway 2 – W.O. Insurance
3.3. Compound Zones
Commercial uses within the CMS area which have existing zoning rights will receive a
new zone category in addition to their existing zone. This will create what is called a
compound zone.
When a property contains two zoning rights at the same time, the land may be used for
any use permitted in either one of the zones. The intent here is to maintain all of the
current zoning rights of the existing business to continue operating as long as they see fit.
At the same time, the second set of zoning rights provides these properties with the
opportunity to develop a more intensified site in the future.
The sites which have been provided with a compound zone include:
Courtice Funeral Chapel
Pine Ridge Motel
Roy Nichols Motors Ltd.
3.4. Legal Non-Conforming Uses
Any existing land uses which have not been recognized by either an exception zone or a
compound zone will become legal non-conforming as a result of the proposed zoning
changes. Legal non-conforming uses can continue to operate as long as they see fit
within their current buildings. However, any enlargement, extension or reconstruction of
buildings used for a legal non-conforming use will require the future approval of the
Committee of Adjustment. The expectation is that, over time, these properties will be
redeveloped to a higher density than exists today.
The sites which will become legal non-conforming include:
Existing single detached dwellings
The offices of Gay Company Limited
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-057-16 Page 5
Islamic Centre of Clarington
Courtice Convenience
3.5. Halloway Holdings Lands in the Town Centre
Staff are continuing their urban design discussions with Halloway Holdings regarding their
lands in the Courtice Town Centre. The currently proposed zoning is intended to serve
as a placeholder until the Urban Design Plan for those lands have been completed. It is
expected that a revised set of zoning regulations for the Halloway Holdings property will
be required to reflect the final Urban Design Plan.
3.6. Height Requirements
Minimum height requirements are an effective way to communicate built-form
requirements and begin the process of meeting the Regional density targets. The height
requirements through the CMS area range from two to six stories. The zoning category
for each property lists both the minimum and maximum height requirements. For
example, a property with the zoning “RMU (S: 2/4)” would follow the land use permissions
and regulations of the Residential Mixed-Use Zone and would be subject to a minimum
height of two stories and a maximum height of four stories.
3.7. Street Animation Requirements
A number of the proposed regulations are intended to provide attractive streetscapes
which in turn promotes walkable and complete communities. This includes requiring that
new buildings be located near the street with a minimum amount of transparent glazing
facing the street and locating doors along the street in addition to those doors that may
face the parking areas at the rear.
3.8. Home occupation in multi-residential buildings
Home occupations are micro businesses which principally serve the needs of the
surrounding neighbourhood. They are permitted in existing residential neighbourhoods
provided that they remain in scale with their surrounding area. Multi-residential
neighbourhoods, such as the kind envisioned for the CMS area, will benefit from home
occupations just as much as other neighbourhoods. The key is to create the correct
scale to ensure that these businesses contribute rather than detract from their
surroundings. Thus the range of home occupation uses are much more limited than in
single detached homes.
3.9. Reduced Parking requirements
In order to promote higher density development, some municipalities have set a
maximum limit on the number of parking spaces that may be provided on a property. The
proposed parking requirements for Courtice Main Street do not set a cap on the
maximum number of parking spaces at this point but instead reduce the minimum amount
of parking spaces that are required to be provided. This is intended to provide
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-057-16 Page 6
developers, at both ranges of the market, with flexibility when designing the layout of their
projects.
Lower parking requirements are expected to assist in the construction of average priced
residential developments. Developers who wish to create luxury accommodation have
told Planning Services staff that these same parking requirements will allow them to
choose what parking ratios will be best suited for their clients.
4. Public Notice and Submissions
4.1. Public Information Centre (June 14, 2016)
At the Public Information Centre held on June 14, 2016, at Faith United Church in
Courtice, an overview of the proposed Zoning By-law for the Courtice Main Street area
was presented to the public. The meeting was attended by at least 33 members of the
public. A further 5 individuals were unable to attend the Public Information Centre but did
contact Planning Services staff to ask questions and provide their feedback.
The general tone of the comments received from the public was supportive of the
proposed zoning regulations for Courtice Main Street. Some of the specific comments
received were as follows:
Enhance the walkability of Courtice Main Street. Make it a place that people can
walk to;
Provide municipal infrastructure, specifically sanitary sewers, so that redevelopment
can begin;
Create an identity for Courtice;
Give us the opportunity to shop locally;
Some higher density residential growth is needed in the community but only if it is
well designed;
Ensure an attractive streetscape along Durham Highway 2;
Increase the permitted height in some areas up to 8 stories;
The reduced parking requirements will allow flexibility in the design of new
developments;
The proposed minimum densities will require underground or structured parking
which is expensive; and
Consider broadening the way land uses are defined to avoid the problem of missing
any.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-057-16 Page 7
Several property owners communicated to Planning Services staff that they planned to
sell their homes in the next several years. They viewed the proposed zoning regulations
as an opportunity to add value to their property before they sell.
Despite broad acceptance by the public for the proposed zoning regulations, the main
concern expressed was how redevelopment will take place if municipal water and
sanitary sewers are not provided along Durham Highway 2 between Prestonvale Road
and Courtice Road.
4.2. Public Meeting Notice
Public notice for this meeting was placed in the Clarington This Week newspaper. The
public notice was also mailed to each landowner of lands being rezoned. In addition, the
notice that was placed in the newspaper was posted on the Municipal website and in the
Planning Services E Update newsletter.
As of the writing of this report, Staff had received four inquiries regarding this application.
Three of the inquiries requested information on the process for reviewing and approving
the proposed zoning regulations but did not offer an opinion on them.
The fourth inquiry asked for information on the content of the regulations in regards to a
specific property but did not offer an opinion on them.
5. Agency Comments
5.1 Regional Municipality of Durham
As noted earlier, the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan was reviewed and approved
by the Region of Durham in January, 2013. The Durham Highway 2 right-of-way width
that approved through the CMS Secondary Plan was 36 metres. Since the approval of
the CMS Secondary Plan the Region of Durham has begun work on the creation of a
Regional Transportation Master Plan (Regional TMP). The proposed policies of the
Regional TMP identify that the future right-of-way width for Durham Highway 2 should be
45 metres to accommodate future bus-rapid-transit service.
As of the writing of this report, no comments have been received from the Durham
Regional Planning & Economic Development Department.
5.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
As of the writing of this report, no comments have been received from Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-057-16 Page 8
6. Departmental Comments
Engineering Services
The Engineering Services Department have expressed significant concern with the new
parking regulations that are proposed by the Courtice Main Street Zoning regulations. In
particular, in their view the minimum parking standards shown are too low and visitor
parking should be provided for.
7. Conclusion
The proposed zoning amendment would establish mixed use zoning along the Courtice
Main Street.
Beyond creating a set of regulations the proposed zoning for Courtice Main Street is
intended to:
Be a catalyst for new development along Durham Highway 2 in Courtice.
Expand the housing options for current and future residents of Courtice.
Create new opportunities for retail and service jobs allowing some residents to
work closer to home while expanding local shopping and business opportunities
for the community.
The purpose of this report is to formally present the proposed zoning regulations to the
public. Based on the comments received from the Public Information Centre and this
Public Meeting, Planning Services staff will prepare a final draft of the zoning amendment
for consideration by Council at a future meeting.
8. Strategic Plan Application
The proposed rezoning facilitates the creation of jobs and businesses, provides for
walkable mixed use neighbourhoods and it helps support a variety of affordable mixed
housing types.

How to Read the Proposed Courtice Main Street Zoning
The proposed zoning provisions will be added to Zoning By-law 84-63. As a result,
these provisions need to be read in the context of the existing definitions and general
provisions already contained in that document.
In some instances a regulation (such as the number of parking spaces that must be
provided) is referred to in both the general provisions of the Zoning By-law and in the
new provisions which are being proposed. In those instances, the new provisions will
replace the existing regulations.
Holding Symbol
What is it?
Each of the proposed zones begin with the letter “H” (e.g. "Holding Residential Mixed
Use (H)RMU"). This means that the property is subject to a Holding provision. A
Holding provision is applied when Council is satisfied that the proposed uses are
appropriate but there remain outstanding technical requirements that need to be
satisfied. No new development can proceed until the Holding has been lifted by
Clarington Council.
How does the Holding get removed?
Landowners can apply to have the Holding provision lifted once all technical
requirements have been met.
How can the property be used in the meantime?
Any use, building or structure that existed prior to the Holding provision being added are
permitted to continue. Lands that are subject to a Holding provision cannot be used for
any of the new uses indicated by the underlying zone until specified requirements have
been met.

symbols are shown on a map to this by-law divided by an oblique line “/”, the total
of the lands within that lot may be used for any use permitted in either one of the
zones included in the compound zone symbol subject to the regulations applicable
to said zone.
Where two or more zones in a compound zone permit the same use and the
regulations contained in each zone for that use are different, the least restrictive
regulation shall apply.
