Addendum to Report PSD-070-16 Page 2
Report Overview
On December 5, 2016 Planning staff recommended approval of a 19 unit draft plan of
subdivision (eight singles and 11 townhouses) subject to increasing the lot frontage of the
townhouse units to 7.0 metre minimum. The applicant has since revised the plan by removing
the townhouse blocks. The plan now proposes 17 single detached dwellings.
This Addendum Report to PSD-070-16 recommends approval of revised applications by
2399263 Ontario Limited (Matanda Homes) to create a residential plan of subdivision.
The revised proposed plan no longer includes townhouse units, and the applicant withdrew the
application to amend the South West Courtice Secondary Plan for medium density units.
Attached to this report are revised conditions of draft approval and a revised zoning by-law
amendment to permit the 17 unit draft plan of subdivision.
1. Background
1.1 The original submission for the subject applications included a draft plan of subdivision
creating eight single detached lots along Frank Wheeler Avenue and two blocks for 13
street townhouse units along Gord Vinson Avenue, totalling 21 units.
1.2 Report PSD-070-16 recommended approval of the applications subject to increasing
the lot frontage of the townhouse units from 6 metres to 7 metres consistent with
Council policy to accommodate on street parking according with municipal standards.
This revision reduced the townhouse units from 13 to 11, for a total of 19 units. The
applicant did not agree with the proposed redline revisions.
1.3 At the Planning and Development Committee meeting on December 5, 2016, the
applicant requested the application be Tabled to January 9, 2017.
1.4 On December 19, 2016, Planning Staff received a revised draft plan of subdivision for
17 single detached dwellings. The plan replaces the townhouse blocks along Gord
Vinson Avenue with single detached dwellings on lots with 9.3 metre frontage (see
Figure 1 - Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision).
1.5 At the January 9th Planning and Development Committee, the applicant requested that
the report be referred back to staff to allow for consideration of the revised plan.
1.6 The proposed change reduces unit yield by two units. The revised proposal is
comprised of all single detached lots as follows:
Eight lots with 10.48 metre frontages on Frank Wheeler Avenue; and
Nine lots with 9.3 metre frontages on Gord Vinson Avenue.
Municipality of Clarington
Addendum to Report PSD-070-16 Page 3
Figure 1: Proposed Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision
2. Discussion
The revisions have minor impact to the original recommendations of PSD-070-16 and
resolve the parking concerns.
2.1 Density
By removing the townhouse product and replacing with single detached units, density
is slightly reduced and the Official Plan Amendment is no longer required. The 17 unit
plan generates a density of 30 units per unit hectare. Both the proposed lots on Gord
Vinson Avenue and Frank Wheeler Avenue are considered small lot singles, being
generally equivalent to a linked dwelling lot with a reduced setback on one side.
Municipality of Clarington
Addendum to Report PSD-070-16 Page 4
2.2 On-street Parking
Recommending the increase in townhouse lot width from 6 metres to 7 metres
ensured the development would have adequate on-street parking. This is fully
discussed in Report PSD-070-16. Replacing the townhouse units with single detached
dwellings will result in three off-street parking spaces per lot: one parking space in the
garage and two outdoor spaces. In addition, there will be one on-street parking space
for every four single detached units. Overall there will be more parking available for
less units.
To accommodate on-street parking, each driveway will be 4.6 metres wide and paired
together with a neighbouring driveway. The 4.6 metres width is wide enough to
accommodate two private outdoor parking spaces, but also narrow enough at the curb
to provide for an adequate parking space along the street.
2.3 Grading
Clarington Engineering Services received and accepted a revised grading plan in
support of the revised plan. Some grading is necessary on adjacent lands to the east
in an effort to eliminate the need for retaining walls. The applicant received permission
from the adjacent landowner’s to grade on their property.
Final grading and coordination with the adjacent landowner will be resolved during the
detailed design stage of the subdivision.
3. Concurrence
Not applicable.
4. Conclusion
As the amendment to the South West Courtice Secondary plan is no longer required
based on the removal of the medium density units, Staff agrees with the request to
close the Official Plan Amendment file.
The revised draft plan of subdivision is acceptable. Revised conditions are included as
Attachment 2 to this Addendum Report. An additional condition was inserted to ensure
driveways are paired to protect future on street parking spaces. The applicant concurs
with the revised conditions of Draft Approval.
A revised Zoning By-law Amendment is contained in Attachment 3. The amendment
places lands in the existing R2-76 zone permitting the 9 metre single detached units
fronting on Gord Vinson Avenue.
The zones applied reflect current standards seen in newer subdivisions with respect to
lot coverage and setbacks, and allow for a built form that is consistent with the
surrounding neighbourhood.

Report Overview
This is a recommendation report for approval of the applications by 2399263 Ontario
Limited (Matanda Homes) to create a residential plan of subdivision. Staff recommend
approval of the proposed draft plan subject to red-lined revisions. This will result in the
development of 8 single detached dwelling units and 11 street townhouse units, for a
total of 19 units versus the original proposed 21 units.
The plan requires an amendment to the South West Courtice Secondary Plan to allow
for Medium Density residential development and an amendment to the Zoning By-law to
place these lands in appropriate zones to permit this residential development.
1. Application Details
1.1. Owner/Applicant: 2399263 Ontario Limited (Matanda Homes)

2. Background
2.1 The subject applications were received and circulated for comments in late
June 2016.
Figure 1: Key Map
2.2 The location and proposal for the subject lands is shown on Figure 1. This small
infill subdivision includes a residential parcel along the original alignment of
Bloor Street in Courtice, a small block from a previously registered plan of
subdivision, and a portion of unopened road allowance that was conveyed in
May 2016.
2.3 The lands are now within the South West Courtice Secondary Plan and
designated for urban residential development. The development parcel has
frontage along Gord Vinson Avenue (formerly Bloor Street) and Frank Wheeler
Avenue with municipal services available on both frontages.
2.4 The proposal includes two street townhouse blocks fronting onto Gord Vinson
Avenue (a total of 13 units) and eight single detached lots along Frank Wheeler
Avenue.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 4
2.5 With the approval of the 2016 Clarington Official Plan, it is no longer necessary
for a Clarington Official Plan Amendment for the townhouse development. The
new policies allow for limited townhouse development internal to
neighbourhoods provided it is appropriate. An amendment to the South West
Courtice Secondary Plan to allow medium density development is required for
the townhouse component of the proposal.
2.6 The applicant submitted the following studies in support of the applications and
are reviewed in Section 7 of this report:
Planning Justification Report
Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report
Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan
Archaeological Assessment
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
These reports will be detailed in a subsequent report.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
Figure 2: Photo of Subject Lands
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 5
3.1 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North - Existing semi-rural property, agricultural uses and residence
identified as a “Primary Heritage Resource”
South - Existing residential development in approved plans of
subdivision
East - Existing semi-rural property and residence
West - Existing residential development in approved plans of subdivision
4. Provincial Policy
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of
growth. Land use patterns shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses that
efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure.
Opportunities for redevelopment and intensification must be promoted.
Municipalities must provide a variety of housing types and densities, and a
range of housing options that are affordable to the area residents.
Healthy and active communities should be promoted by planning public streets
to be safe, meet the needs of pedestrians, foster social interaction and facilitate
active transportation and community connectivity. Compact and diverse
developments promote active modes of transportation such as walking and
cycling.
The applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
4.2 Provincial Growth Plan
The subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and
employment growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of
new growth to the built up areas through intensification and efficient use of
existing services and infrastructure. The development of complete communities is
encouraged by promoting a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment and
housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and
services. New transit-supportive and pedestrian-friendly developments will be
concentrated along existing and future transit routes. The Growth Plan
establishes minimum targets for residential development occurring annually within
each upper tier municipality to be within the built up area.
The applications conform to the principles of the Growth Plan.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 6
5. Official Plans
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands Living Area.
Lands within the Living Area designation shall be used predominantly for housing
purposes incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes, and
tenure. Living Areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher
densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas.
The Durham Regional Official Plan requires a minimum intensification target of
32% for lands within the built boundary in Clarington.
The applications conform to the Durham Regional Official Plan.
5.2 Clarington Official Plan
The lands are designated Urban Residential. Urban Residential lands are
predominately intended for housing purposes. Gord Vinson Avenue and Frank
Wheeler Avenue are local streets.
The proposed subdivision falls within the Bayview neighbourhood which has a
housing target of 1250 low, 300 medium, and 125 high-density housing units, in
addition to 50 intensification units, for a total of 1,725 units by the year 2016.
The Urban Residential designation permits a density of between 10 and 30 units
per hectare, and does not identify townhouse units as the predominant built
form. The applicant requested a Clarington Official Plan Amendment to allow
Medium Density development with the introduction of townhouse units and a
development with a density of 38 units per hectare.
5.3 Clarington Official Plan as Amended by Amendment 107
On November 1, 2016, Council adopted the Official Plan Amendment 107 to
bring the Clarington Official Plan into conformity with the Regional Official Plan
and provincial policies.
The direction for neighbourhood planning differs from the previous low, medium
and high density residential framework. The amended Clarington Official Plan
establishes urban structure typologies and built form directives for Centres,
Corridors, Transportation Hubs, Waterfront Places, Edge of Neighbourhoods,
Along Arterial Roads and Internal to Neighbourhoods. The subject lands are
considered to be “Internal to Neighbourhood”. Limited townhouse units are
permitted with a maximum height of three storeys. Proposals for multi-unit
residential must consider appropriateness of the site, compatibility, provision of
suitable access points, traffic and parking impacts, massing and urban design
policies.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 7
5.4 South West Courtice Secondary Plan
The South West Courtice Secondary Plan currently designates the land Low
Density Residential. The proposed Amendment to the Secondary Plan would
redesignate a portion of the lands as Medium Density Designation to permit the
requested townhouse units.
6. Zoning By-law
Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands Agricultural (A) Zone. Zoning By-
law 84-63 does not have a future development zone and the Agricultural (A) Zone
is often used for that purpose on lands within the urban areas. The proposed
rezoning would place lands in residential zones that would permit single detached
and street townhouse units.
7. Summary of Background Studies
7.1 Planning Justification Report prepared by KLM Planning Partners Inc., June
2016
The report provides an analysis of the development’s conformity to Provincial,
Regional and Clarington Official Plan land use planning policies.
The Official Plan Amendment is required to place lands in a medium density
designation given built form and density. An analysis of population and housing
targets in the neighbourhood was completed and the introduction of 13 street
townhouse units is modest and appropriate.
The development was reviewed against the policies for medium density
development and was found to be suitable in size and shape to accommodate the
proposed density and built form. The development provides for adequate off-site
parking and suitable amenity space is provided in rear yards. The Official Plan
polices limit the number of townhouse units to generally not more than six attached
units. The report identifies that because there is no development across the street
and adequate on-street parking can be accommodated that the one block of seven
townhouse units is appropriate.
The report attached a draft Official Plan Amendment and a draft Zoning By-law
amendment for consideration.
The report finds that the development conforms to applicable land use planning
policies and makes use of existing infrastructure, transit and public facilities. The
development is consistent and compatible with neighbouring development and
provides a density and built form that contributes to the completion of the
neighbourhood.

Report PSD-070-16 Page 8
7.2 Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report prepared by Cole
Engineering, June 2016
The report provides an overview of site servicing, grading and stormwater
management techniques for the servicing of the lands. The report identifies that
existing neighbourhood infrastructure was sized to accommodate the development
of the subject lands, including a downstream stormwater management pond.
7.3 Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan prepared by KLM Planning
Partners Inc., June 2016
The plan identifies preliminary measures to address energy efficiency, air and
water quality, solid waste management and enhancement of the natural
environment.
7.4 Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment prepared by York North
Archaeological Services Inc., May 25, 2016
The assessment did not uncover any archaeological resources on the site and no
further archaeological assessment is recommended.
7.5 Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment prepared by GHD, May 25, 2016
The property was found to have a low risk of existing soil contamination and is
suitable for future residential development. No further soil investigation is
warranted.
8. Public Submissions
8.1 During the review of the applications, a total of six individuals contacted staff
regarding the applications. Planning staff received three written submissions via
email.
8.2 Concerns raised to date include unit mix and the introduction of townhouse
units, the lack of gas stations and commercial uses to serve area residents,
school capacity, traffic and parking and impacts from area construction sites.
8.3 The neighbouring resident to the east has raised concerns about changes to
grades post-development and potential impacts to his property.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 9
9. Agency Comments
9.1 Regional Municipality of Durham
Regional Planning has no objection to the applications. The applications were
found to conform to the Growth Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement and the
Durham Regional Official Plan. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is exempt
from Regional approval.
Regional Works identified that sanitary and water services are available to
accommodate these proposed lots. The development does not present any
significant Regional transportation or transit impacts.
Regional conditions were provided and included in the proposed Conditions of
Draft Approval included as Attachment 3.
9.2 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
The Conservation Authority has no objections to the proposal and provided
technical comments to the applicant regarding grading and stormwater
management that must be addressed. The Conservation Authority also provided
standard conditions of approval.
9.3 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
Students from this development would attend Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public
School, Courtice Intermediate and Courtice Secondary School. Board staff
request that consideration be given to sidewalk connections and pedestrian
routes to allow safe access for students to Dr. G.J. MacGillivray.
9.4 Other Agencies
Enbridge Gas, Canada Post and Rogers have no objections to the applications.
10. Departmental Comments
10.1 Engineering Services
The applicant has submitted a Functional Servicing Report in support of this
application which addresses grading, servicing and stormwater management for
this proposed development. During the detailed design stage, the grading of the
site should eliminate proposed retaining walls along the east limit of the
development. Every effort must be made to preserve the trees along the east
boundary of the proposed development.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 10
The Robinson Ridge and Huntington subdivisions were developed and services
constructed anticipating development of these lands. The existing road network
on Gord Vinson Avenue can support the two townhouse blocks, and Frank
Wheeler Avenue can support eight single family dwellings without requiring any
road improvements in the area.
Additional technical considerations would be part of the detailed review of the
subdivision such as site alteration, construction traffic routes (to be limited to
Gord Vinson Avenue), service connections, road restoration and driveway
alignment to accommodate on-street parking.
A cash-in-lieu of parkland payment would be required as a condition of approval.
A former municipal road allowance is included within the limits of the draft plan of
subdivision. This unopened road allowance was conveyed subsequent to
approval of recommendations contained in the Legal Service Department Report
LGL-002-16.
10.2 Emergency and Fire Services
No concerns.
10.3 Operations Department
Operations has provided comments regarding necessary streetlighting upgrades
along Gord Vinson Avenue. The subdivision agreement would require provisions
relating to protection measures for mud tracking on municipal streets.
11. Discussion
11.1 This small infill subdivision is located along the former Bloor Street alignment
(now Gord Vinson Avenue) in a growing area of southwest Courtice. The
development is very efficient and takes advantage of existing roads and
servicing. The lots can be serviced and accessed from both Gord Vinson
Avenue and Frank Wheeler Avenue. The development has a density of 38 units
per net hectare. All housing units would contribute to intensification targets.
11.2 Staff recommends approval of the draft plan of subdivision subject to red-lined
revisions shown in Attachment 3 in the draft plan of subdivision. Instead of 13
street townhouse units, each having a minimum lot frontage of six metres, staff
recommend revisions to the draft plan of subdivision to permit 11 street
townhouse units, each having a minimum lot frontage of seven metres. The
applicant is not in support of this revision and believe the six metre frontage is
consistent with existing townhouse development in the area.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 11
11.3 However, while the minimum frontage for a street townhouse unit in the Urban
Residential Type Three (R3) Zone is six metres, Council supported staff’s
recommendation in 1999 to approve new street townhouse units with a minimum
lot frontage of seven metres (Refer to PD-36-99 and PD-117-99). Requiring a
minimum lot frontage of seven metres allows for driveways to be paired and
provides for additional on-street parking which the six metre units cannot
provide. See Section 11.5 for the result of applying this policy to this property.
Approval of the existing townhouse units in the area pre-date the 1999 Council
resolution.
11.4 The proposed townhouse component of the development, as red-lined revised,
satisfies the applicable criteria of the Clarington Official Plan for multi-unit
residential development, as follows:
a) The size has a suitable size and shape to accommodate the townhouse
development;
b) The proposed development is compatible with surrounding development
where there is a mix of single detached, semi-detached, street townhouse
and condominium townhouse development. The proposed 11 townhouse
units are limited and not significantly increasing the townhouse unit mix in
the neighbourhood;
c) The impact on local streets is minimized with the provision of adequate
on- street parking. Local streets were constructed to accommodate
development on the subject lands.
d) Street townhouse units shall generally not comprise more than six attached
units and shall not be located across the street from multi-unit residential
development. With the recommended red-lined revision, the draft plan
illustrates a block of five street townhouse units, and a block of six street
townhouse units. As lands to the north are development, additional review
of on-street parking availability will be reviewed. Lands on the north side
could be developed with wider units to continue to provide more
opportunities for on-street parking, or could be a private condominium
development with on-site visitor parking.
11.5 On-street parking was identified as a concern at the Public Meeting stage.
Zoning By-law 84-63 establishes minimum parking rates for differing types of
residential units. All single detached and semi-detached units are required to
have two outdoor parking spaces located in the driveway contained on the lot.
Townhouse units do not require two outdoor parking spaces but require one
parking space in the driveway, and the other space is provided in the attached
garage that must be large enough to function as a parking space. These
regulations have been in effect since 1999.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 12
In addition to Zoning By-law requirements, each development must
demonstrate to Engineering Services through an on-street parking plan that on-
street parking can also be accommodated at a rate of one space for every four
single detached or semi-detached units, and one for every three townhouse
units. On-street parking is not a requirement of the Zoning By-law, but is a
standard that is reviewed during the review and design stage. On-street parking
functions as additional visitor parking and limited overnight parking subject to
obtaining the appropriate municipal parking permits.
The subject draft plan of subdivision, as red-lined revised, can provide sufficient
on-street parking on the north side of Frank Wheeler Avenue and on the south
side of Gord Vinson Avenue in accordance with the rates provided above.
Increasing the unit widths from six metres to six metres results in three
additional on-street parking spaces in front of the street townhouse units (an
increase from three spaces to six).
In the interim and until lands to the north develop, there would be additional on-
street parking available on the north site of Gord Vinson Avenue.
11.6 Engineering Services and the owner of the property to the east of the subject
lands have identified grading as a concern. The applicant will be required to
demonstrate that the grading of the development can be completed in a
manner that takes into consideration transitions to new development to the
west and the existing property to the east.
11.7 It is recommended that the subject lands be placed in two urban residential
zones:
R2-65 for the single detached dwellings
R3-35 for the townhouse dwellings
The zones applied reflect current standards seen in newer subdivisions with
respect to lot coverage and setbacks are consistent with the surrounding
neighbourhood.
11.8 The Holding (H) symbol will be applied on the proposed zoning to ensure
adequate access and services are in place prior to development and will be
lifted by Council when the appropriate conditions are met.
11.9 Conditions of draft approval have been prepared based on staff and agency
comments and would be fulfilled as the subdivision application moves through
the final approval stage. The owner of the lands will be required to enter into a
subdivision agreement with the Municipality of Clarington.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-070-16 Page 13
11.10 The applicant concurs with the conditions of Draft Approval, but does not
agree with the red-lined revisions shown that increases the minimum width of
street townhouse units to seven meters and reduces the unit yield by two
townhouse units as shown on the draft plan of subdivision included in
Attachment 3.
11.11 All taxes owing to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full.
12. Concurrence
Not applicable.
13. Conclusion
In consideration of all agency, staff and public comments, it is respectfully
recommended that the applications to permit a 21-unit draft plan of subdivision be
approved.
14. Strategic Plan Application
The recommendations contained in this report conform to the Strategic Plan.

Amendment Number 108
To The South West Courtice Secondary Plan
Purpose: To allow Medium Density Residential development (11 street
townhouse units)
Basis: This amendment is based on the applications by 2399263 Ontario
Limited (Matanda Homes) for a draft plan of subdivision that
includes 11 street townhouse units fronting onto Gord Vinson
Drive in Courtice (COPA 2016-0002, S-C-2016-0002 and ZBA
