Report Overview
On May 30, 2016, Official Plan Amendment 107 was released for public review and
comment. Following the release, a Statutory Open House was held on June 28, 2016;
approximately 100 people attended. A Statutory Public meeting was held on September 12,
2016 and 33 presentations were made before the Planning and Development Committee of
Council. Since then, Staff received 86 written submissions and have met with approximately
20 parties since then.
The purpose and effect of the draft Official Plan Amendment No. 107 is to bring the
Clarington Official Plan into conformity with the Provincial Policy Statement 2014, the
Province’s Growth Plan and Greenbelt Plan and the Regional Official Plan. It also
implements the directions from various Municipal studies and reviews including the
discussion papers on the Natural Heritage System, Parks, Open Space and Trails,
Countryside, Growth Management, and Intensification. The comprehensive review of the
Official Plan has been undertaken by the Municipality as required by Section 26 of the
Planning Act. The Amendment applies to all lands within the Municipality of Clarington.
The Official Plan is the policy document that guides decisions about managing growth,
creating sustainable transportation choices, fostering job creation and investment, protecting
the natural environment, and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
The full recommended Official Plan Amendment 107 is provided under separate cover and
posted on the project website (www.clarington.net/ourplan/). Changes made to the
Clarington Official Plan will be shown within the document as strikeouts and underlines for
ease of reference and review.
1. Purpose of Report
1.1 This report concludes the preparation of an updated Clarington Official Plan to bring it
into conformity with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), the Provincial Greenbelt Plan
(Greenbelt Plan), the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth
Plan), Amendments 114 and 128 to the Durham Regional Official Plan (Durham Regional
Official Plan Review) and the environmental policies and watershed studies of the Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority and
the Ministry of Natural Resources. This report recommends that Council adopt Official
Plan Amendment 107 (OPA 107), as contained in Attachment 3.
1.2 Contained in this report is a summary of the comments received since the release of the
Draft Official Plan Amendment 107 in May 2016, with staff responses.

2. Public Participation Process
2.1 The Clarington Official Plan Review process has included extensive public participation.
The process was initiated with a statutory public meeting. The public participation process
included nine discussion papers, 20 council reports and two Official Plan Amendments.
460 people and businesses took part in community surveys and more than 600 people
attended workshops, public information sessions and statutory public meetings. In
addition, Staff met with many individuals, community groups, and Committees of Council
and received a total of over 300 written submissions throughout the process.
2.2 Over the course of the review, Staff continuously met with the community interest groups
and with committees of Council:
• Agricultural Committee
• Heritage Committee
• Clarington Board of Trade
• Newcastle and District Chamber of Commerce
• BIAs (Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono)
• BILD – Durham Chapter
• Durham Home Builders Association
Also during the preparation of the Parks, Trails and Open Space Discussion Paper, 62
sports, leisure and cultural groups participated.
2.3 The Municipality also developed a website for the project, www.Clarington.net/ourplan. All
the discussion papers, council reports and other background information have been
posted on the website as it became available. The people visiting the website are from
various locations internationally, from California to Andhra Pradesh. Within Canada, the
local Durham Area to Markham, Mississauga, Toronto, Kingston, London, Oakville, Barrie
and Peterborough. This shows that there is possibly a wide range of people,
internationally and locally, who have a vested interest in Clarington’s growth and
development. Since the release of draft OPA 107, there have been 5,700 unique visits to
the site (from May 30, 2016 to October 14, 2016).
2.4 The releases of the technical discussion papers, the proposed changes to the Official
Plan, and the draft OPA 107 were all accompanied by public information centres. A
Statutory Open House and a Public Meeting were also held for the release of the draft
OPA 107. The Municipality posted weekly advertisements in the local newspapers three
weeks prior to the date of the event. All the notices of the meetings were also posted on
the Official Plan Review website, the Planning Department’s e-Update newsletter and on
the Municipality’s main website.

Report PSD-060-16 Page 5
2.5 As part of the Official Plan Review process, Staff undertook special projects that included
additional public participation. The Courtice Main Street project was also part of the
Official Plan Review, this initiative culminated with the adoption of the Courtice Main
Street Secondary Plan which is being implemented through the proposed Zoning By-law
and the Community Improvement Plan. The public participation for this project included
workshops, public information sessions, and a Statutory Public Meeting.
2.6 Since the release of the draft OPA 107 in May, Staff have met with many residents and
the development industry and addressed numerous enquiries over the phone and at the
counter.
Proposed Clarington Official Plan (2015)
2.7 On March 30, 2015, Planning Staff released a “redline” version of the proposed changes
to the Official Plan. The intent was to provide the public with an opportunity to review and
comment on the proposed changes before Staff prepared the Draft Amendment. All
participants on the interested parties list received notices of the four open houses held in
2015. The Open houses were located in Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle and Solina. A
total of 84 participants attended these sessions.
2.8 The public was also notified through newspaper advertisements in the Orono Weekly
Times and Clarington This Week, tax bill advertisements, Social Media (Twitter), and at a
number of information booths at Clarington’s community events, including the Orono Fair,
Apple Fest, and the Clarington Home Show.
2.9 In addition to printed media, website and other social medial tools, and throughout the
process, residents, consultants and other member of the public registered in the list of
interested public parties for the project. Everybody registered in the lists receives a
written notice for the meeting or release of a report, and when the Council disposes of the
report they also receive notice by the Clerks department.
2.10 A Companion Guide was also prepared for the proposed changes to the Official Plan in
April 2015 to promote and engage the public about the Official Plan Review process.
Planning Staff received over 200 comments on the proposed changes to the Clarington
Official Plan.
Draft Clarington Official Plan (2016) – Official Plan Amendment 107
2.11 The Draft Clarington Official Plan (2016) “redline” version and Draft Official Plan
Amendment 107 (OPA 107) was released on May 30, 2016. Subsequently, a statutory
Public Open House was held on June 28, 2016 in the Clarington Public Library,
Bowmanville Branch. 104 people attended with staff on hand to answer questions.
2.12 A Public Meeting was held on September 12, 2016. A total of 33 verbal submissions were
heard at the Public Meeting for various properties.
2.13 Over 100 written and verbal submissions have been received on draft OPA 107.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 6
2.14 Communications included notice to the interested parties (over 635 notices were mailed
out), advertisement in the Planning Services Department E-Update newsletter, Municipal
website, and newspaper advertisements in the Clarington This Week and Orono Times
from May 13, 2016 to June 22, 2016.
2.15 After the September 12, 2016 Public Meeting, Staff met with approximately 20 interested
parties – individual property owners, developers, and community groups. In addition staff
addressed numerous enquiries over the phone and at the counter.
2.16 The revised OPA 107 attached to this report, reflects the changes that were made
through extensive public participation and staff’s continuing review.
3. Key Themes in Submissions
3.1 A number of positive and supportive comments we received. Public input demonstrated a
broad support for the overall vision and desire to achieve a coordinated growth approach
that emphasized complete communities that protect the natural environment.
3.2 Many respondents endorsed:
Removing the Future Urban Residential designation and instead determining the land
uses for the future growth areas through the development of a Secondary Plan;
Protection of Natural Heritage Features and the Minimum Vegetation Protection
Areas provided that the features could be further refined thorough an Environmental
Impact Study;
Compact and mixed use development, especially in Key Priority Intensification Areas
to reduce urban expansion into agricultural areas;
Rounding out and the expansion of rural settlement areas;
Introduction of major recreation and agri-tourism uses in rural areas by site specific
rezoning; and
Sustainability policies for better air quality, energy and water conservation and waste
reduction and diversion.
3.3 Respondents identified numerous questions and concerns, ranging from the general to
the specific. Attachment 2 to this report provides a summary of the submissions and staff
comments. The key concerns were related to:
growth management and sequencing of secondary plans;
urban structure and densities;
environmental protection designation limits;
conversion of employment lands;
rounding out of hamlets;
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 7
expansion of Orono.
4. Growth Management Issues
4.1 Secondary Plan Sequencing
Clarington has used the technique of sequencing the preparation of neighbourhood
secondary plans in the past. The former Newcastle/Darlington Official Plans provided for
the sequencing of the preparation of Neighbourhood Plans in Courtice. Three separate
neighbourhoods were identified for sequential order of plan preparation.
The current Clarington Official Plan 1996 did not provide for sequencing of
neighbourhood plan preparation but phased development by designating some lands as
Future Urban Residential, creating short term and long term development areas. The
Future Urban Residential areas were anticipated to be needed beyond 2016.
Development was only permitted after a municipal comprehensive review and
redesignation of the lands to Urban Residential or other neighbourhood use.
Development activity has been significantly slower than forecasted through the Regional
Official Plan. The Official Plan at that time forecasted a population of 126,000 by 2016 for
Clarington. Currently, the Municipality of Clarington has an approximate population of
98,000.
Moreover, the intensification objectives now are considerably higher (minimum 32% after
2015 versus the previous 20% in 1996 Plan) alleviating the need for as much Greenfield
lands.
Based on Provincial and Regional policies and the land budget analysis, the draft OPA
107 included the delineation of Future Greenfield areas as Secondary Plans and
proposed a sequencing plan to prioritize each area within Courtice, Bowmanville, and
Newcastle. This proposal was based on:
Providing an organizing framework to plan preparation and then subsequent
development.
Providing for optimized use of infrastructure in one area by limiting growth from the
multiple frontiers, a situation that is unique to Clarington.
Providing checkpoints for progress on intensification.
Providing greater predictability so that land costs do not escalate unreasonably.
Assisting in achieving some of the Municipality’s economic development objectives
by focusing on lands which benefit servicing of industrial lands and new
commercial areas first.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 8
It has become evident that this approach will not be accepted by the broader
development community and that an alternate growth management strategy is required.
Planning staff has been meeting with developer groups, members of Council, and with
BILD as the association representing the development industry.
Recommendation:
The following approach is proposed to meet the intent of Provincial and Regional policies
and to protect the Municipality’s interests:
a) The sequencing numbers for Secondary Plans on Map C will be removed. This
would allow any Secondary Plan area to proceed;
b) Maintain that it is Council’s decision to proceed with a Secondary Plan preparation
(existing OPA 107 policy);
c) Council must hold a Public Meeting to which all of the affected landowners in the
Secondary Planning Area will receive notice prior to authorizing the commencement
of a Secondary Plan;
d) Require phasing policies within all secondary plans (existing OPA 107); and
e) Clarifies that until a secondary plan is prepared, only existing uses, crop-related
agriculture uses or interim uses (subject to criteria that ensure that it doesn’t impact
the future planning and development) are permitted. (This is a similar policy to that
currently applicable Future Urban Residential lands);
f) Secondary Plans will be subject to 5 year revisions.
4.2 Developer Funding of Secondary Plans:
The development industry has indicated a willingness to pay for costs associated with the
preparation of the Secondary Plan in order to expedite the time required to complete the
background studies and the Plan. The costs associated include the preparation of
detailed technical studies like watershed plans, public participation and charrettes, to
municipal planning and project management resources required.
To date,
Rice Developments (former N1) have made a submission indicating that they
would pay 100% of the costs of a Secondary Plan for the Wilmot Creek/Wilmot
Landing expansion.
The Bowmanville East Developers Group (former B1 and B2) has formed and is
requesting developer funded secondary plans but they have not indicated to staff
their proposal for cost sharing. They have also indicated that they wish to discuss
cost recovery from development charges.
The developers of the former C1 area have not organized a landowners group but
they are anxious to proceed since Courtice has a very limited supply of residential
units in the development pipeline.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 9
Brookfield Homes in North Newcastle Village (former N2) have requested private
sector funding options but have not advanced any details.
While staff had proposed that secondary plans be tackled sequentially with municipal
funding, the revised approach will remove formal sequencing of plan preparation and
focus on phasing development in each area. The preparation of Secondary Plans can
proceed without the constraint of limited municipal funding but will need to consider staff
resourcing and other municipal priorities.
Recommendations:
a) That policies be amended to allow for developer funding of Greenfield Secondary
Plans including background studies provided it is based on 100% developer
funding, it covers project management and administrative costs and that no
endeavours to collect be requested from non-participating landowners.
The limited development charge funding collected to date for Secondary Plans be
directed to bringing existing Secondary Plans into conformity with the updated
Official Plan and for the preparation of a Courtice Employment Area Secondary
Plan.
b) That the developers proposing to fund the Secondary Plan study must represent a
minimum of 75% of the developable land area in the Secondary Plan Area. This is
intended to minimize potential disagreements with non-participating landowners.
c) That the terms of reference and the developers’ cost-sharing agreement for a
Secondary Plan be considered at the Public Meeting noted above so that all
landowners are aware of the terms of reference and the cost sharing arrangements.
4.3 A Municipal-Led or Developer-Led Secondary Planning Process
The draft OPA 107 indicates that Secondary Plans will be prepared by the Municipality.
There has also been a general consensus that it is appropriate for the Municipality to lead
the process. However, more recently, a Bowmanville East Developers Group has been
formed and their suggestion is that a landowner’s group be permitted to initiate a
secondary plan and submit it as an official plan amendment. The Municipality would
“evaluate and approve”.
In the past, Clarington has funded some Secondary Plan studies privately (e.g. Port
Darlington, Bowmanville West Town Centre) but Council has never allowed a landowners
group to fulfill a municipal responsibility. Staff do not support this proposal for the
following reasons:
The Municipality should be in charge of its own planning process with proper
consultation of all residents and landowners;
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 10
There is very limited public input and transparency if secondary plans are
prepared by developers; the developer group only has to submit a “complete
application” for an official plan amendment with all the supporting background
information completed; only a statutory public meeting would be required on the
submitted application;
Staff believe that residents would have greater buy-in and trust in a municipal-led
process, as noted in the Wilmot Creek Phase 8 issue;
The Municipality’s work priorities would be established by the Greenfield
landowners who “initiate’ such a major undertaking;
The Regional Official Plans indicates that Secondary Plans shall be undertaken
by the Municipality; this proposal would seem to be contrary to intent of the
Regional Official Plan.
Recommendation:
No Change.
4.4 Municipal Fiscal Capacity - Financial Impact Analysis
In addressing the issue of sequencing of Secondary Plans, an overriding concern of
Council and staff is to have greater information on the impact of development on
municipal finances before or during a Secondary Plan process. This is really not possible
in advance of the Secondary Plan, since many of the variables are determined through
the Plan (land use, phasing plan, etc.). If a Financial Impact Analysis is prepared so part
of a Secondary Plan, it would inform on how to implement a phasing plan. The existing
Official Plan provides for Financial Impact Analysis for specific development applications
and OPA 107 provided for a Financial Impact Analysis as part of Secondary Plan. The
proposed approach would maintain this. The terms of reference for a Financial Impact
Analysis has been further reviewed with the Treasurer and minor
adjustments/clarifications have been made.
Recommendations:
a) Maintain OPA 107 requirement for a Financial Impact Analysis be required as part
of a Secondary Plan;
b) That the existing definition of the Official Plan for a Financial Impact Analysis be
expanded to clarify that it includes both capital and operating costs, hard and soft
infrastructure, impact on the Development Charges schedule and financing, impact
on taxes, impact on committed projects, other Neighbourhood areas and
intensification projects, a sensitivity analysis on various growth projection
scenarios and may include analysis on various phasing options within the study
area.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 11
4.5 Urban Structure and Densities
Numerous submissions were received with respect to the urban structure policies on
density. Table 4-2 provided guidance to the housing forms and densities by urban
structure areas (Centres, Corridors, Neighbourhoods). A concern was the use of gross
density targets from the Regional Official Plan and the long term overall floor space
indicies.
Regarding the first concern, it was noted that each neighbourhood had anomalies, such
as the location of secondary schools, parks, etc. that could drive the densities on the
actual development sites higher to achieve the same overall gross density.
The second concern was the longer term floor space indicies (ratio of floorspace to site
area) identified in the Regional Official Plan. The floor space indicies identified in the
Regional Official Plan are intended as longer term density targets and not a minimum
requirement for each site.
Recommendation:
Adjust the urban structure polices to separate the long term floor space indices required
by the Regional Official Plan in a new table. Further the minimum densities of units per
net hectare by urban structure area adjust to a net basis.
5. Environmental Protection Issues
5.1. How was the Natural Heritage System Defined?
A number of submissions raised concerns with how the natural heritage system was
defined. As a starting point, over the years and in many surveys, Clarington residents
have stated the importance of the environment as a top priority. It was clear that this
needed to be addressed when reviewing the Clarington Official Plan’s natural heritage
system.
As part of our conformity requirements, the existing natural heritage system in the
Clarington Official Plan needed to be updated to be consistent with the Provincial Policy
Statement, the Greenbelt Plan, the Region of Durham Official Plan policies and the work
of the conservation authorities. The conservation authorities have updated their
regulations and have undertaken watershed plans in accordance with the Oak Ridges
Moraine Conservation Plan and other provincial policies.
Appropriate analysis was undertaken, working with the conservation authorities, to clearly
define what constitutes the natural heritage system. It began by collecting base data from
the conservation authorities (Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and Ganaraska
Conservation Authority) on their ecological land classification system, watercourses, and
valleylands. It also included information from the Ministry of Natural Resources on
Provincially Significant Wetlands and Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest. Floodplain
mapping was also obtained to include in the proposed Environmental Protection
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 12
designation. The Municipality created the natural heritage system based on this data and
with the assistance from the conservation authorities, prepared the Natural Heritage
Discussion Paper. This was presented to Council in April 2013. The proposed approach
is applicable to all parts of Clarington, including the Urban Areas, lands within the
Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine and other parts of the rural areas.
The Discussion Paper was posted on the website and the public was able to provide
comments directly through the website. There were also four Public Information Meetings
that were held to give the public an opportunity to meet with Staff to discuss the
recommendations in the paper. The meetings were advertised in the local newspapers.
The Natural Heritage Discussion Paper (April 2013) explains how the natural heritage
system is identified in the current Official Plan through a combination of policies, land use
designations and the natural heritage map. The paper recommended updating the
policies and mapping to protect the system. Many of these features were already
protected through the policies in the Clarington Official Plan, but not fully reflected in the
Environmental Protection land use designation.
The Environmental Protection designation includes the following:
Wetlands;
Fish and riparian corridors;
Valleylands;
Significant woodlands;
Areas of natural and scientific interest;
Beach bluffs; and
Floodplain.
Outside the Urban Settlement Areas, a minimum vegetation protection zone of 30 metres
is proposed to be included in the Environmental Protection designation. For areas within
the Urban Boundary, a minimum vegetation protection zone is not mapped but is required
by the policies. In all cases, refinements to the natural heritage system will be permitted
at a site level through development applications.
Additionally, although not mapped as Environmental Protection, the policies of the
existing and proposed Official Plan, protect other features such as habitat for endangered
and threatened species, wildlife habitat, and rare vegetation communities.
The creation of the Environmental Protection designation also used the Robinson and
Tooley Watershed Study and individual Environmental Impact Studies as references to
further refine the natural heritage system in the corresponding locations.
The analysis is based on the system level, not the site specific level, and will be refined
through the detailed analysis that an Environmental Impact Study provides.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 13
A few respondents questioned the Environmental Protection designation on their lands.
Some of these questions have been resolved. Other concerns will need to be addressed
through other means, such as an Environmental Impact Study. However for the most
part, no changes were made to the natural heritage system overall since the discussion
paper provides the basis for the protection of the natural heritage system. Staff feels that
the new policies and mapping is the most appropriate direction to take as they relate to
the protection of the natural environment which was a main concern from residents when
Staff initiated the Official Plan Review and from the comments received from the public
throughout the process.
There has also been support from the development community for the Environmental
Protection designation, provided there is flexibility in the policies to refine the natural
heritage feature through studies. Further, no development in these features and areas is
mandated by other pieces of legislation such as the Provincial Policy Statement and the
Provincial Plans.
The recommended Official Plan Amendment 107 has been slightly revised from the draft
to clarify some of the uses that are permitted within the Environmental Protection
designation. For instance, it has been clarified that agricultural practices will be permitted
in the Environmental Protection designation, however buildings or structures will need to
be located outside the Environmental Protection designation.
5.2 How are the actual development limits determined?
The boundaries of the land use designations on the Land Use Schedules are
approximate. They are not like zoning lines unless they coincide with roads, railways, lot
and concession lines, major watercourses, or other definitive physical features.
One of the purposes on the land use map is to indicate on a broad level the general
intention to protect these lands from development. But the background studies that were
relied upon for this work are at a broader level of analysis. As a result, they must, by
necessity, be examined at the site level through the necessary studies. Thus the natural
heritage features map is a trigger for such studies.
The Official Plan was never intended to be a detailed map. Thus when an Environmental
Protection Area is identified, there is a process for interpretation on the ground. Where
the general intent of the Plan is maintained, minor land use boundary adjustments will not
require an amendment to the Plan.
5.3 Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone
Vegetation Protection Zones are normally a vegetated buffer, usually containing self-
sustaining vegetation, surrounding a natural heritage feature (woodlot) or a hydrologically
sensitive feature (wetland, watercourse). It is a transition zone between the feature and
the surrounding land use. It also allows for opportunities to create or enhance the natural
heritage system through pollination and can be replanted to compensate for tree loss
from development.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 14
Within the vegetation protection zone, the uses that are permitted, are usually the same
is what is permitted in the feature itself. The uses normally permitted within natural
heritage features are limited to forest, fish and wildlife management, conservation and
flood or erosion protection, infrastructure if they the need has been established through
an Environmental Assessment, and low intensity recreation.
Both the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Greenbelt Plan have
established minimum Vegetation Protection Zones which is the prescribed minimum
vegetation protection zone. For the majority of natural heritage features, is 30 metres.
Within a natural heritage feature, or its Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone, no
development is to take place.
Clarington has rural lands outside of urban areas that are not within the either the
Greenbelt or the Oak Ridges Moraine. This same 30 metre vegetation protection zone
applies to these lands.
Within Urban and Settlement Areas, the Provincial Policy Statement applies. Although
using different terminology, the Provincial Policy Statement also provides for the
protection of natural heritage features and their ‘adjacent lands’. The PPS does not
prescribe a minimum area to be protected, but instead relies on the municipality’s
approach to determine the extent of the adjacent lands.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 15
A number of municipalities including Ajax and Oshawa have utilized standard minor
vegetation protection zones. Within their urban area, Ajax requires a minimum of 10
metres from the dripline of a woodlot, stable top of bank, and floodlines and 30 metres
from the edge of a creek and the edge of a wetland. Ajax does provide that these
Minimum Vegetation Protection Zones may be larger depending on the results of the
environmental study.
Within Oshawa’s urban areas minimum vegetation protection zones are also prescribed
in the Official Plan. They vary from 10 metres from a woodland that is not associated with
another feature, to 30 metres for a provincially significant wetlands. Outside of the urban
and rural settlement areas, the Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine requirements remain.
Environmental Impact Studies will further refine both the feature and the setbacks but in
no instance will development be closer than the minimum vegetation protection zone
indicated in the recommended policies of the Official Plan Amendment 107. A number of
refinements are proposed to assist with the interpretation of how this could be
implemented.
Recommendations:
a) The policies be clarified to indicate that within the Minimum Vegetation Protection
Zone, other uses such as trails and low impact development features
(e.g. Infiltration trenches) will be permitted.
b) The minimum vegetation protection area for isolated woodlands that are not
associated with a stream or other water feature, will be 10 metres instead of 15
metres in the Urban Areas of the Municipality.
c) In infill situations, consideration will be given to development on adjacent lands,
which may result in no Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone.
d) In Greenfield situations, rounding out of the Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone
would be permitted for efficient lot patterns but maintaining the same land area. In
other words, it could be less in some areas and more in others but have the same
net area in the Minimum Vegetation Protection Zone.
5.4 Martin Road Woodlot
In urban areas, significant woodlots that are at least 1 hectares in size (as defined in the
existing Official Plan definition) are now part of the Environmental Protection Area
designation. The Martin Road woodlot is identified as a deciduous forest block. This
woodlot is approximately 1.365 ha in size. The majority of the woodlot is also located on a
significant, non-developable slope. Through the development process, the Environmental
Impact Study and a Geotechnical evaluation, as well as the minimum vegetation
protection policies of the Plan will determine how close to the development can be from
the woodlot and the slope.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 16
The current Official Plan states that even if a person destroys a natural heritage feature
or a hydrologically sensitive feature, the lack of such a feature cannot not be considered
as a basis for a development application. The owner of 50 Martin Road removed the
vegetation on lands on the slope that are to be dedicated to the Municipality. However, as
part of any development, not only will the trail be installed, but the applicant will be
responsible for restoring that portion of the woodlot.
Recommendation:
No change to the Environmental Protection designation. The ultimate limits of the woodlot
be determined by site-specific environmental studies.
5.5 Tooley Road Woodlot
Cliff Curtis made a verbal submission (VS-21) objecting to the designation of the woodlot
on the west side of Tooley Road, noting that it is inappropriate to designate lands in the
built boundary for Environmental Protection, that the MNR mapping is inaccurate, and
that he has prepared an environmental impact study that indicates that only a 30 m wide
corridor is required at the rear of his property. Together with other landowners, he is
preparing a submission for a plan of subdivision (Attachment 3 to his written comments).
A number of residents in the area provided written submissions (WS-62, WS-65 and WS-
66) and photographs of the woodlot, expressed concerns regarding tree cutting going on
and with the proposal by the developers to remove the woodlot.
Based on all of the information received to date, the woodlot qualifies as a significant
natural heritage feature and should be designated as Environmental Protection. This still
allows for refinement at the site specific level through the Environmental Impact Study
process.
Recommendation:
No change to the Environmental Protection designation. The ultimate limits of the woodlot
be determined by site-specific environmental studies.
6. Courtice Issues
6.1 Industrial Land Conversion along Bloor Street Regional Corridor, Courtice
The representatives of the Hope Fellowship Church (WS-12, VS-33) and
Norstar/Concordia Realty Management/Neil Brown (WS-23) made submissions to extend
the width of the Regional Corridor Designation of the Bloor Street Regional Corridor, as
the proposed designation would split their lands in two very different land uses; corridor
on the north portion and employment lands on the south portion. Hope Fellowship Church
proposes to use their rear lands for a long term care facility/seniors retirement complex.
The extension of the width would coincide with the proposed east-west road connection
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 17
parallel to Bloor between Trulls and Courtice Rd. and would leave the subject properties
with just one land use designation.
These lands are at a distance from the Highway 401 and 418 and close to existing
schools and recreation facilities. A revision to allow for residential and corridor uses along
the south limit of the Bloor Street Corridor to the future east-west collector road would
remove approximately 50 hectares from industrial uses. These lands currently include
two places of worship. In staffs view, based on employment projections, this will not
impact employment lands needs to 2031 and subsequently more suitable lands along
Highway 418 could be considered.
Recommendation:
Re-designate the lands between the east-west collector road and the corridor as Urban
Residential.
6.2 Clarington’s Waterfront – Courtice
During the preparation of the 1996 Regional Official Plan, the Region had identified the
Algoma lands for the Courtice Sewage Treatment Plan. The Municipality’s park
designation was thus shown on the easterly side of the Courtice waterfront.
Through the Region’s Environmental Assessment for the Sewage Treatment Plan, the
site chosen was on the east side of Courtice Shores Road. The proposed park
designation clarifies that the park location is west of Courtice Shores Road.
The current Official Plan identified waterfront parks as a symbol. The proposed Official
Plan identifies the area along the Waterfront between Courtice Shores Road and
Darlington Provincial Park as a future Municipal-wide Park. This change more clearly
shows the extent of lands that staff feel should be incorporated into a future park.
Council has directed staff to proceed with acquisition of parkland in this area. Information
on this will be provide by confidential memo.
The area identified is significant but in no way has it been fully defined. The north
boundary does not coincide with any feature and would be further defined in any land
acquisition or future studies.
Infrastructure projects have to look to the longer term future of the Municipality. For
example, the Courtice Water Pollution Control Plant was planned for the long term needs
of the Region, potentially to serve the urbanization not only of north Oshawa and Whitby
but also for the servicing of lands between Courtice and Bowmanville.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 18
In 1990, the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto (GTA) Waterfront noted that
Clarington needed to “not simply be reactive to private sector proposals; rather it should
address the public interest in communities about to face the pressures of rapid
urbanization. In this regard, it is vital that the plan retain as much as possible of the
currently undeveloped shoreline for future public use”.
Since that time, the Municipality has worked continuously to advance a publicly
accessible waterfront. However, the residents of Clarington are highly compromised with
their access to the waterfront. Regional sewage plants, the Darlington Generating
Station, St. Mary’s Cement, and the gated Wilmot Creek Lifestyle Community occupy
virtually 50% of the waterfront between Oshawa and Bond Head, severely limiting access
and the ability to provide waterfront parkland.
With the future urbanization of the so-called Whitebelt in the hands of Regional Council
and the population density targets established in the Provincial Growth Plan, Clarington
will have a substantially larger population in the future. It is important that the Municipality
take the appropriate steps to ensure a green, open, accessible, and connected waterfront
for residents, which are currently very much underserved with the waterfront parkland
available.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 19
Municipal staff have had a series of discussions with Kirk Kemp of Algoma Orchards
regarding the acquisition of the waterfront area over the years. The concept of the “Taste
of Clarington” was explored as an agri-tourism use. It is a permitted use in the Waterfront
Greenway designation and the concept of having some food-related business,
restaurants and even a hotel or inn would be an exciting and complementary use.
Mr. Kemp is requesting that his lands be designated a Special Study Area. If the proposal
is a simply the combination of agriculture, agri-tourism uses and park uses, the relative
location can be determined through the land acquisition and development process.
However, Algoma’s concept has evolved to include a residential neighbourhood and is
thus requesting the Special Study Area designation. The Special Study Area designation
is an indication that the Municipality wants to review the land uses in the area. In staff’s
view, this should remain a private sector obligation beginning with an amendment to the
Durham Regional Official Plan. There are other implications that will be addressed in the
confidential memorandum.
Staff remain firm in the belief that the Municipality needs to make a significant move to
acquire waterfront lands for a variety of recreational and cultural purposes.
Recommendation:
No change.
7. Bowmanville Issues
7.1 Employment Land Conversion – Baseline Road Bowmanville
OPA 107 proposes to convert some remnant Employment Lands along Baseline Road
west of Green Road from Prestige Employment to Community Park and Residential. The
northerly portion is on the peak of the drumlin and currently contains one house. It is very
difficult to develop for industrial purposes but was originally part of a larger designated
area that included the lands that are now part of Clarington Fields and the future South
Bowmanville Recreation Centre.
Submission WS-64 objected to the Environmental Protection designation on the lands. It
should be noted that the Environmental Protection designation is not substantively
changing. In reviewing land use options for the lands on the west side of Green Road, it
was noted lands are highly constrained by natural heritage features and steep slopes. It
was determined that the southerly portion would be suitable for a future expansion of
Clarington Fields complex for the Municipality to purchase at a future date. The southerly
lands are also isolated from services given the topography of the lands. A non-residential
use is preferred adjacent to Highway 401. The northerly portion of the site could develop
for residential purposes although it will be a difficult site. Natural grades largely face
south-west providing some relief from the lights and noise from activity around the
community centre. In both cases, the sites are small and unsuited for industrial type
employment uses.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 20
In addition, there are some small parcels of land (2411, 2415 and 2421 Baseline Road)
that are currently designated Community Park/Environmental Protection. They are zoned
M1 Industrial. They are isolated by the stormwater pond on the west and the tributary on
the east. It is not possible to incorporate them into the Community Park. OPA 107
proposes to designate the lands Gateway Commercial. Submission WS-10 requests a
Neighbourhood Centre designation to allow for a residential mixed use component.
While staff support commercial uses, the site is somewhat isolated from the residential
neighbourhood and given the activity and night lights at Clarington Fields, a strictly
commercial designation is preferred.
Recommendation:
No Change.
8. Newcastle Issues
8.1 Local Corridor Designation
A number of submissions (WS-7, WS-8, VS-26) were received to allow commercial uses
along Highway 2 on the west side of the Village Centre. A Commercial Market Analysis
was conducted as part of this Official Plan Review. The analysis indicated that the
demand for new commercial lands in Newcastle is still a few years away, beyond 2021.
The Plan supports and strengthens traditional downtowns in Clarington. Policies protect
the planned function of the Village Centre as the main commercial area of Newcastle.
However a distribution of some commercial facilities helps to create walkable
neighbourhoods with everyday goods and services available for residents.
Recommendation:
Staff recommend that a Local Corridor designation along the west segment of Highway 2
from the west urban boundary to the Village Centre. This will allow for some limited
commercial as part of a mixed use building and at the same time encourage transit
supportive medium densities along Highway 2.
9. Orono Issues
9.1 Orono Expansion
The Orono BIA’s submission requested the expansion the Urban Boundary of Orono. The
area is approximately 40 hectares (100 acres) to the west of Orono. This will allow the
area to develop in an affordable, green, self-sustaining way.
The business community in Orono is looking for limited growth to help support their
businesses and remain viable. As Orono and the surrounding agricultural area lose
population due to declining household sizes, a limited expansion would help to provide
the basis to maintain a complete community with all the services close at hand. It
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 21
provides an alternative housing market for Clarington. Part of the concept advanced is to
provide for some multi-unit dwellings to allow for a variety of housing some of which
would serve seniors.
The primary issue for Orono has always
been servicing. The current wells
apparently have surplus capacity, but the
difficulty is sanitary sewer services. Over
the years this has been examined
numerous times and to date. The Region’s
only solution is for the eventual extension
of lake-based services. This is not the way
forward for Orono; it only leads to the
expansion of the urban area upwards, like
to Brooklin in Whitby or Columbus in
Oshawa, so that the once small village is
absorbed into a large urban
conglomeration.
The only way for Orono to grow as an
Urban Area with this proposed expansion
is to allow for communal services. In staff’s
view, it would not be in keeping with the
concept of an Urban Area to build
privately-serviced estate residential style
subdivision of 1 to 2 acre lots. The last
major subdivision in Orono at Peters Pike
had ¼ acre lots, which in itself is large for an urban area.
As the Region considers this matter, the Municipality will likely need to investigate in
depth how this expansion could be serviced and developed.
Recommendation:
That the Orono Urban Area be expanded to incorporate approximately 40 hectares of
land on the west boundary.
9.2 “Rounding Out” of Hampton
The Municipality has already proposed an expansion to the Hamlet of Hampton as part of
the draft OPA to include the lands at the northeast corner of Hampton (just north of
Ormiston Street). Since the release of draft OPA 107, the Municipality has received two
written submissions for the expansion of Hampton’s Settlement Boundary. The first
submission, (WS-55), is from John and Ingrid Janssen owners of property around the
northwest corner of Taunton Road and McCallum Street, the area west of the existing
Hamlet of Hampton. They are requesting a minor rounding to allow for development of
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 22
about three to four, 1 acre lots that would be accessed through a court off of Taunton
Road or McCallum Street.
The second submission, WS-43, from the Biglieri Group representing 1559360 Ontario
Limited requests that the Hampton’s settlement boundary be expanded to include the
lands located at the north east corner of Holt and Taunton Roads. As part of an
application process for a golf driving range an Agricultural Review was conducted to
determine the site’s agricultural potential. The report completed in 2006 concluded that
site has limited agricultural potential due to its limited size. It is a combination of Class 1
and Class 2 farmland. Official plan amendments and the zoning by-law were amended to
permit a golf driving range. No action has been taken since then to implement this
proposal. Their request is for a significant westerly expansion of Hampton to permit 30, 1
acre lots on the east side of Holt Road. A Planning Rationale report was also provided in
support of the proposed expansion.
Recommendation:
a) That the expansion requested by the Jannsens be incorporated into Hampton as a
minor rounding out.
b) That the expansion requested by 1559360 Ontario Ltd. is not a minor rounding out
but a significant expansion, that it is not physically connected due to the hamlet by
an intervening woodlot. Moreover, this request is for a residential designation
immediately beside the Marksman Club, an indoor gun club, which may present a
noise concern for upscale housing.
9.3 “Rounding Out” of Kendal
Stephen Wood (Submission VS-8) made a submission requesting that his 70 hectare
parcel on the south-east corner of Ganaraska Road and Regional Road 18 be added to
the hamlet of Kendal. In support of his request, he submitted an undated extract of Clarke
Township Zoning By-law 1592, passed in 1968, that showed his property seemingly
zoned “Industrial” with a D inscription on it. We believe that the D referred to lands that
were deferred by the Province. It is staff’s understanding that that the Province never
approved the by-law in that form and that they required the Township to hire a
professional planner to undertake the By-law. The end result was that the lands were
zoned A- Agriculture and approved in 1970.
In 1989 an application was submitted for a subdivision at the southeast corner of
Regional Road 18 and Ganaraska Road. The submission was incomplete since the
studies to support the expansion were never submitted. Eventually, the application was
denied.
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 23
Mr. Wood has proposed that the municipal water services be extended to the Hamlet of
Kendal and avert any potential risks resulting from the combination of Kendal's unusually
high water table, shallow wells and septic systems. No studies or reports were submitted
in support of the proposal. The submission argues that this is an opportunity to designate
more lands for development in Kendal and have the development community pay for the
costs to extend municipal services to Kendal.
Staff does not consider expanding the proposed boundary to this extent to be consistent
with the notion of a “minor rounding” of the Kendal hamlet boundary. The area proposed is
approximately 70 hectares and the existing Kendal area is 30 hectares. The area proposed
for inclusion is quite substantial and would result in an approximately 230 per cent increase,
more than double the size of the existing Kendal area. As previously noted, the intent of
the Greenbelt Plan is to allow only modest growth to hamlet areas. Staff is therefore of the
opinion that the proposed expansion does not maintain the intent of the Greenbelt Plan or
the Provincial Policy Statement 2014.
Recommendation:
No change.
10. Summary of Key Revisions to Draft OPA 107
10.1 The major changes from the draft amendment to the recommended amendment are
identified below:
a) Removal of the sequencing for future Secondary Plan Areas;
b) Refinement of Secondary Plan policies as noted above;
c) Revisions to Table 4-2 to reflect minimum net density requirements instead of gross
density requirements and to remove reference to floor space index;
d) Requiring new Secondary Plan areas shall be planned as net-zero low carbon
communities;
e) Adjusting the Vegetation Protection Zone policies;
f) Addition of Special Study Area 5 to facilitate the expansion of the Greenbelt;
g) Reorganization of the Countryside chapter 13;

11. Next Steps
11.1 In light of further comments, Council’s consideration and technical review, OPA 107 will
be consolidated in its final form.
11.2 Once Clarington Council adopts the Official Plan Amendment 107, it will be forwarded to
the Durham Region for review and approval. The Region has various options. It may
approve, approve with modifications, deny or make no decision (in other words defer
making a decision) on various portions of OPA 107. The latter option may be used when
it is determined that further study or more information is required. The Region must
determine whether the adopted plan is in conformity with Provincial policy and the
Regional Official Plan.
11.3 Prior to issuing a decision on the Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107, it is
anticipated that Regional Staff will provide a list of proposed modifications to the Director
of Clarington Planning Services. Staff will review those proposed modifications and bring
a report to Council outlining the proposed modifications. Council will then be able to
provide comments to the Region on the proposed modifications before the Region issues
its decision. If the list of proposed modifications is received after the December 5, 2016
meeting of the Planning and Development Committee, a special Council meeting will be
required, should Council wish to make a decision before the end of the year.
11.4 Once the Durham Region issues its decision, a 20 day appeal period is provided. Any
person or organization that has provided comments (in person, or in writing) to Clarington
Council prior to the adoption of the Clarington Official Plan Amendment 107, and/or the
Durham Region prior to issuing its decision has the right to appeal all or part of the
Clarington Official Plan. Once the Plan is approved it becomes in full force and effect.
12. Conformity with Clarington’s Corporate Strategic Plan
The Official Plan Review is one of the primary inputs of the Planning Services
Department into fulfilling the Municipality’s Strategic Plan for 2015-2018. Specifically,
OPA 107 contains policies that:
Municipality of Clarington
Report PSD-060-16 Page 26
Facilitates the creation of jobs, attracts new businesses and expands existing
businesses;
Manages growth to maintain our “small town” feel particularly strategic actions to:
o Provide for walkable mixed use neighbourhoods.
o Support a variety of affordable mixed housing types.
Enables safe, efficient traffic flow and active transportation;
Promotes resident engagement (via an extensive public participation process in the
Official Plan Review);
Enhances our unique natural environment, particularly supporting actions to:
o Adopt updated natural heritage policies.
o Continue with parkland along the waterfront.
o Prioritizing trails to connect our community.

Opposed to policies 4.6.3 and 4.6.4, which
states that Secondary Plans will be developed in
a sequential order that has already been
predetermined by the Municipality. Does not
want development to be phased because
secondary plans should not be contingent on
the plans of another landowner in another
secondary plan.
Sequencing has been removed. See
section 4.1 in staff report PSD-060-16.
Also opposed to the policy that states that all
existing secondary plans must be updated prior
to any new secondary plans being prepared.

Plans not be approved or adopted until current
secondary plans are updated.
Updating the secondary plans for the
community’s downtowns and the
employment lands in Courtice to support job
creation and the extension of the GO train
are key to create jobs in Clarington. The
preparation of Secondary Plan background
studies could commence during this period.

There are numerous policies in section 3.4 that
are more restrictive than the PPS and the

as drafted these policies apply to new or
expansion of mineral aggregate operations.
We request that a notwithstanding clause be

aggregates and also to include the applicable
tests for aggregate / natural heritage in Section
15 of the Official Plan.

Verbal submission
Request that the commercial zoning designation

would be appropriate to have commercial
zoning which would create a base for a central

The housing market is booming in Bowmanville
with many new housing developments coming

seen an increase in housing prices which
indicates the lack of housing supply in the

double this year compared to the 10 year
average.
There is a very hot housing market at the
present time with many factors affecting it.
One of those seems to be a shortage of
supply of ground-related units across the
GTA but even this is disputed. It is not a
Clarington problem as there are many lots
approved but not under construction.

(Chris Jones) CLOCA has jurisdiction over the
western half of the Municipality and have
provided input to the Official Plan Review.
Mapping at the scale of the Official Plan is
conceptual, and will not be perfect as nature is
constantly changing and evolving and that
precision comes at the detailed design stage
when applications are under a site-specific
review. The establishment of a series of fixed
vegetation protection zones is an important
innovation and provides a level of certainty to
landowners and proponents of development
allowing development to proceed more
smoothly. He indicated that CLOCA supports
the objectives of fixed width vegetation
protection zones. However, that it does not
preclude the ability to apply common sense to a
specific site and provides the opportunity to use
the zone for other complementary uses such as
trail systems and low impact development
stormwater measures.

the area identified as a future school site. The
alternative development plan would assist with
the overall review of the entire development
particularly in the event that the school board

Policy 23.3.5 states that when preparing

Requesting the Committee to consider
expanding the Kendal Hamlet boundary to
include his farm at 6759 Regional Road 18, on
the east side of Newtonville Road, across from

term benefits to the taxpayers and residents of
Clarington and Durham Region if the boundary
is expanded, noting the construction of Highway

Clarington will see an increase in population
resulting in additional property tax revenue.
Increased revenues could then be used to
extend municipal water services to the hamlet of
Kendal and avert any potential disaster resulting
from the combination of Kendal's unusually high
water table, shallow wells and septic systems.

within the Official Plan but will be done
concurrently with the Official Plan approval. This
is inappropriate because it will take a
Neighbourhood Plan and change it to a
Secondary Plan without adequate public
consultation and review. This will not give
anyone the right to appeal Clarington’s position.
The Regional Official Plan only requires a
Secondary Plan for greenfield living areas larger
the 20 hectares and most of this neighbourhood
should be considered infill.
The second issue is with the use of Natural
Heritage Mapping in the Durham Official Plan to
designate properties within the urban boundary
as environmentally protected lands. This
mapping is provided by the Ministry of Natural
Resources which he feels is inaccurate and
does not properly show tree cover. The maps
need to be ground truthed. The Environmental
Impact Study for the property only identifies a
need to keep a 30 metre width of undisturbed
land to the west of his property line. Concluded
by asking for the Clarington Official Plan to be
amended to reflect the Environmental Impact
Study results between Poppyfield Drive and
Springfield Lane to restrict the Environmentally
Protected designation to the west of his property
and that the existing Neighbourhood Plan be
voided.

Concerned with the land use in Special Study

remaining natural areas.
Specific concerns with the protection of Special
Study Areas of Farewell Heights and Special
Study Area No. 1 – Hancock Neighbourhood.
The Special Study Area designation for Farewell
Heights was removed. The extension of the
Urban Boundary further north was not supported
because there was not enough groundwater
recharge area within the wetland complex. This
land was cleared prior to the Official Plan
Amendment and Council needs to ensure that
the nature areas are rehabilitated prior to

Requested Council to ensure that all policies are

The Clarington Official Plan requires the
reduction of greenhouse gases and, as a result,
the extension of George Reynolds Drive (Map

Requests that the trail through the Special Study
Area No. 1 be deleted as it is privately owned
land. Suggests that the trail should continue
through Hancock Road.
Requested a listing of all flora, fauna and
insects to be required as part of environmental
studies. Also requested that climatology, the
lowering of greenhouse gases and the impact of
the lowering of the water tables in Courtice be

Pleased to see that Clarington has separated

Also concerned with land on Trulls Road north
of Vivian Drive on the north side of the existing
subdivision. This area is located in a special
study area and the Region of Durham needed to
define whether Adelaide Road would continue

they do not have to wait for a Secondary Plan.
This land is planned for development in 2023
and that it would create 25 lots and be a
sufficient use of infrastructure.
Study Areas 2 and 3 of the Regional Official
Plan. Until those further studies are
completed, which would be done through a
Subwatershed study and Secondary Plan,
the Regional Plan states that ”the existing
zoning by-laws that apply to the Special
Study Area may remain in force or may be
amend provided that such by-laws allow
only uses, such as agricultural and /or
temporary uses in accordance with the
provisions of the Planning Act and the
Regional Plan, and provided that such uses,
if developed, will not prejudice the
conclusions and recommendations of the
intended studies.”
Furthermore, allowing one parcel within
future Secondary Plan area to be developed
separately, effectively removing it from the
Secondary Plan process, would set a
precedent for other lands to “separate” from
proper planning of a Secondary Plan area.
No changes are proposed.

RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT NO. 107 TO THE CLARINGTON OFFICIAL PLAN
OCTOBER 24, 2016
Purpose
The purpose and effect of the Recommended Official Plan Amendment No. 107 is to
bring the Clarington Official Plan into conformity with the Province’s Growth Plan, the
Greenbelt Plan, as well as the Region of Durham’s Official Plan. The comprehensive
review of the Official Plan has been undertaken by the Municipality as required by
Section 26 of the Planning Act.
Location
The amendment to the Official Plan applies to all lands within the Municipality of
Clarington.
Basis
This amendment outlines proposed changes to the policies and maps of the
Municipality’s Official Plan in all chapters.
The Basis of the Amendment began with defining the main issues of importance to the
community through two separate surveys, one for the residents and one for the
businesses in the community. Stakeholder meetings were also held to discuss some of
the main issues. 460 people and businesses participated in the process through
community surveys, and over 600 people attended workshops, public information
centres, and statutory public meetings. The major themes that emerged from the public
consultation process were presented in a number of Discussion Papers and reports.
The Discussion Papers and reports highlighted key challenges and opportunities for
Clarington and provided some direction to the policies. Each one focused on a different
theme. The list of discussion papers and reports are as follow:
An Introduction Discussion Paper
Let’s have a Discussion...Improving our Built Environment and the Planning
Process
Courtice Main Street Study Issues Review Paper
Economic Base and Employment Lands Discussion Paper
The updated ‘Economic Base and Employment Lands Analysis’ report
Intensification Discussion Paper
Growth Management Discussion Paper
Countryside Discussion Paper

Clarington Community Forecast Population and Employment Projections
Updated Clarington Community Population and Household Forecast
Commercial Market Analysis, Municipality of Clarington
Robinson/Tooley Creeks Watershed Management Plan
Natural Heritage Discussion Paper
Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper
The recommended changes implement and conform to the policies of the Provincial
Policy Statement, the Provincial Growth and Greenbelt Plans, as well as other provincial
statutes and the Durham Region Official Plan. The proposed polices also address
community priorities such as the protection of the natural environment and agriculture,
economic development, and maintaining the community’s character. Other issues of
importance to the community in the areas of climate change, green development and
transit oriented developments are address in the proposed policies.
The recommended amendments do not include Secondary Plans, the review of
Secondary Plans will be undertaken once Council makes a decision on the
recommended.
The Actual Amendment
This Amendment sets out a series of changes to the Schedules and Text of the
Municipality of Clarington. New text is shown underlined and deleted text is shown with
a strikethrough.
1. Existing Section 1.1 Introduction is hereby amended as follows:
After nearly 6,000 years of intermittent habitation by First Nations peoples,
Europeans began to settle in Clarington in the 1790’slate 18th century. They
found a land abundant with dense forests, rich soils, and varied topography
stretching from the Lake Ontario shoreline to the Oak Ridges Moraine.
In 1792 Lieutenant Governor Simcoe established the original townships of Clarke
and Darlington. Through time, the larger settlements were incorporated as
autonomous municipalities. Regional government was introduced in 1974 to meet
the increasing demands of growth. This included the creation of the Town of
Newcastle through the amalgamation of the former Town of Bowmanville, the
Village of Newcastle and the Townships of Clarke and Darlington. In 1993, the
Municipality was renamed Clarington, a blending of the names of the original
Townships of Clarke and Darlington.
The changes of in Clarington over the past 200 years have been profound. Lands
were cleared, harbours were built, farms were established and small settlements
formed. Merchants established businesses and built factories. The construction of
3
transportation infrastructure beginning with Kingston Road, a grid system of
township roads, several railway lines and much later Highway 401, led to periods
of growth and prosperity. However this has put stress on the natural systems that
have permitted and sustained this growth.
Over the past few decades, Clarington has also become more fully integrated into
the Greater Toronto Area, which is one of the fastest growing regions in North
America. Being part of the GTA’s economic and demographic growth has
presented Clarington with many opportunities and challenges. The first Clarington
Official Plan, which was adopted in 1996, provided the Municipality with its first
detailed framework to guide and manage development in Clarington.
A number of changes have occurred since that time that affect how the
Municipality deals with the economic, community and environmental pressures
created by growth. These include significant changes to the local, national and
global economies, increasing urban densities, and the emergence of climate
change as a new environmental challenge. The Municipality is also required to
bring its Official Plan into conformity with new Provincial legislation affecting the
land use planning process.
Over the years, local government has been reshaped periodically to administer
development. In 1792 Lieutenant Governor Simcoe established the original
townships of Clarke and Darlington. Through time, the larger settlements were
incorporated as autonomous municipalities. Regional government was introduced
in 1974 to meet the increasing demands of growth. This included the creation of
the Town of Newcastle through the amalgamation of the former Town of
Bowmanville, the Village of Newcastle and the Townships of Clarke and
Darlington. In 1993, the Municipality was renamed Clarington, a blending of the
names of the original Townships of Clarke and Darlington.
Over the centuries, the pressure of growth has put stress on the natural support
systems - air, soil and water. The loss of the salmon fishery in the 1800’s and the
degradation of the fragile soils of the Oak Ridges Moraine early in the 1900’s are
examples of both environmental destruction and human restoration efforts. These
events serve as useful signposts of the need for sustainable settlement patterns.
Late in the 20th century, the economic influence of neighbouring municipalities is
continuing to affect land use and settlement in Clarington. The increasing rate of
residential growth in the absence of balanced economic growth is placing greater
burdens on local government to provide services and to ensure the well-being and
health of the community.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Clarington is preparing for change and
urbanization. This Official Plan is prepared in the context of our history, our
current needs and the challenges of the future.
2. Existing Section 1.2 Purpose is hereby amended as follows:
4
This document constitutes the Official Plan (the “Plan”) of the Municipality of
Clarington (the “Municipality”), and has been prepared in accordance with the
Planning Act.
This Official Plan, consisting of the text and maps, provides a structural framework
for future growth and development in the Municipality of Clarington to 2016.
The main purposes of this Plan are is to guide and manage development in the
Municipality of Clarington to the year 2031. In so doing, it will:
To foster the economic, environmental, cultural, physical and social well-
being of the residents of Clarington;
To guide the future form of physical development of the Municipality with
respect to land use and transportation;
To assist in the prevention and resolution of land use conflicts;
To provide a framework for identifying and evaluating land use
opportunities;

residents healthy communities through the land development process., this This
Plan seeks to implement the following directions for managing growth:
Protected Natural Heritage
9
A The natural heritage system and natural resource areas, including
agricultural lands, will be protected. Where there is a conflict between a
proposed land use and the protection of the natural heritage system, the
latter will prevail.
Firmly Defined Firm Settlement Boundaries
Urban and hamlet growth will take place in the context of clear within
clearly defined boundaries to prevent urban sprawl and to protect the
agricultural system.
Compact Urban Form
Compact urban form that supports transit, walking and cycling will be
achieved with an emphasis on infill and redevelopment, higher densities
and a mix of uses.
S tructural Growth
Growth will be balanced between greenfield lands and infill lands with
priority to be given to projects that support intensification. Growth will be
directed to urban areas and will occur in proportion to the urban population
targets with Bowmanville continuing to grow as the dominant urban centre.
Balanced Growth
Job creation will continue to be a priority to complement residential
growth. Residential growth will complement employment growth.
Phased Development
Urban growth will be phased in order to encourage compact urban form,
promote an efficient settlement pattern, and will be scheduled to match the
Municipality’s financial resources.
Efficient Use of Infrastructure
Public infrastructure and services to accommodate growth will be
extended in an orderly, cost-efficient manner and will support active
transportation. Priority in infrastructure investments will be given to
developments within the Built-up Areas.
Transportation and Land Use
The integration of transportation and land use planning is critical to
achieving the overall goals of this Plan. Critical investment will be required
to provide a transportation system that supports the planned land uses,
increases modal choice, maintains speed of travel and reduces trip
lengths.

street trees, residential trees, park trees and greenbelt and ravine plant and animal
communities, and provides habitat for a diversity of urban wildlife.
Utility: means all public and/or private utilities (including but not exclusive of
television, electricity generation facilities and transmission and distribution
systems, gas, telecommunications/ communications, Canada Post) or any similar
works for systems necessary to the public interest.
Vegetation Protection Zone: A vegetated buffer area surrounding a natural
heritage feature or hydrologically sensitive feature within which only those land
uses permitted within the feature itself are permitted. A vegetation protection zone
is intended to be restored with native, self-sustaining vegetation and be of
sufficient width to protect the feature and its functions from effects of the proposed
change and associated activities before, during, and after, construction, and where
possible, restore and enhance the feature and/or its function
Waste Disposal Site: any land, building or structure in which waste is deposited
or processed and any machinery or equipment required for the treatment or
disposal of waste including a composting facility but not including a waste transfer
facility or a recycling facility.
Watershed: means an area that is drained by a watercourse river and its
tributaries.
Watershed and/or Sub-watershed Plan means a plan used for managing human
activities and natural resources in an area defined by watershed or sub-watershed
194
boundaries. Watershed and/or Sub-watershed Plans shall include, but not be
limited to, the following components:
a. establish the existing conditions of the watersheds, including natural
heritage and hydrologic features and functions, natural hazards,
hydrogeology, fluvial geomorphology and hydrology;
b. a water budget evaluating water supply and water demand, and a
conservation plan;
c. evaluate and recommend specific storm water management, erosion,
and sedimentation control measures, including low impact
development strategies;
d. recommend targets on a watershed or sub-watershed basis for the
protection and restoration of riparian areas, and the establishment of
natural self-sustaining vegetation and vegetation protection zones.
e. establish criteria for evaluating the protection of water quality and
quantity, and hydrologic features and functions
f. recommend targets, management strategies, and programs and a
monitoring plan to ensure the continued or improved health of the
watershed;
g. requirements for the use of environmental management practices and
programs; and,
h. a framework for implementation
Wetlands: lands that are seasonally or permanently covered by shallow water, as
well as lands where the water table is at or close to the surface as defined by
either the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Conservation Authority, or through a
comparable evaluation. In either case, the presence of abundant water has
caused the formation of hydric soils and has favoured the dominance of either
hydrophytic or water tolerant plants. The four major types of wetlands are
swamps, marshes, bogs and fens. Wetlands included in the natural heritage
system are at least 0.5 hectares in size.
Wetland Complex: two or more individual wetlands along with their adjacent
lands that are related in a functional manner and are grouped within a common
wetland boundary. The whole complex is evaluated and classified and not its
individual wetland area components.
Wetland Functions: means the biological, physical, and socio-economic
interactions that occur in an environment because of the properties of the wetlands
that are present, including, but not limited to:
• ground water recharge and discharge
195
• flood damage reduction
• shoreline stabilization
• sediment trapping
• nutrient retention and removal
• food chain support
• habitat for fish and wildlife
• attendant social and economic benefits
Zone of Contribution: when used in reference to a period of time, means the
area within which the water pumped from a well originates during that time.
755. Appendix A is hereby amended as follows:
Appendix A – General Description of Studies Reports, Studies and Plans
As outlined in section 23.16 of this plan, the Planning Act permits Council to require
an application to pre-consult with the Municipality prior to submitting an application,
and to request from the applicant, at the time of the application submission, any
information determined as necessary to properly assess the application.
The general descriptions for reports that may be required of an applicant, are
outlined below. The final scope of the reports shall be determined by the
Municipality, in consultation with any other government body, public authority and/or
external agency, and is dependent on the nature of the proposal. Additional
information may be required from these reports through the planning analysis,
council deliberation, and/or public participation processes. The reports need to be
signed and stamped by the respective registered professional.
The following list describes the most common reports that are required for an
application to be deemed complete. This is not considered an exhaustive list. Other
specialized reports may be required based on the nature of the application.
756. Existing Study ‘Financial Impact Analysis’ is hereby amended as follows:
Financial Impact Analysis The purpose of a Financial Impact Analysis is to
determine the proposed development’s financial impact on the Municipality’s
operating and long term capital budgets. The study will consider the costs of the
development in all Municipal services and infrastructure at both the Municipal, and if
required, Regional levels.
The report may include will include demographic projections for both Greenfield and
Intensification development, impacts on both hard and soft infrastructures like roads
and libraries or fire protection respectively. In addition to the capital cost, the analysis
should also include the additional operating/maintenance costs to be incurred by the
Municipality.
196
The report needs to include an analysis of municipal capital and operating costs
already committed to other development applications, Secondary Plans, and other
municipal projects. The analysis should also include the impact on the Development
Charges schedule and financing and include sensitivity analysis on various growth
projection scenarios and may include analysis on various phasing options within the
study area. The analysis should also demonstrate the impact on municipal taxes.
757. A new Study is added to Appendix A following “Financial impact Study” as follows:
Landscape Analysis. A Landscape Analysis provides the framework for the level
of change appropriate in a development area or site. This analysis will provide an
understanding of the structure, characteristics and functions of the landscape in a
given area prior to development and site alteration.
The purpose of a Landscape Analysis is to assess, describe and interpret the
existing context of the lands within a development area or site.
At a minimum, a landscape analysis must:
a) Identify topography and grading;
b) Identify existing built form; and
c) Identify existing natural features.
The result of this analysis is a summary of the site in terms of parcel, topography,
and built environment which is to be used as the foundation for planning and
design of the develop area or site.
758. A new Study is added to Appendix A following “Environmental Impact Study” as
follows:
“Linkage Assessment
The purpose of the Linkage Assessment is to provide the applicant with
information to create a development plan that maintains and enhances the
Linkage, so natural areas function as a connected system in the long term. A
Linkage Assessment is a study that assesses the ecological features and
functions of a Linkage, including its vegetative, wildlife, and/or landscape features
or functions. A Linkage Assessment:
identify its boundaries;
describes its ecological function, value, and integrity;
identifies how its function can be maintained or enhanced within a
development proposal;
assesses potential impacts as a result of the development; and,
197
makes recommendations on how to protect, enhance, or mitigate
impacts on the Linkage and its functions.
A Linkage Assessment must be prepared by a qualified expert, such
as an ecologist or biologist.”
759. Existing Study “Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan” is hereby amended as
follows:
“Sustainability Report Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan
The Clarington Official Plan recognizes three key principles which provide
direction for the policies in the Plan; sustainable development, healthy
communities and the management of growth.
The Municipality is encouraging the development industry to promote high quality
design practices centered on resource (e.g. water, energy) conservation, efficiency
and environmental sustainability. The Energy Conservation and Sustainability Plan
must demonstrate how the development will achieve these three key principles.
The Plan needs to consider the following:
a) Energy efficiency;
b) Air quality;
c) Water quality and quantity;
d) Solid waste;
e) Natural environment; and
f) Homeowner education.”
760. Existing Study “Slope Stability” is hereby amended by changing the title as follows:
“Slope Stability Report”
761. Existing Study “Traffic Impact Study” is hereby amended as follows:
“Traffic Impact Study
The Traffic Impact Study (TIA) shall provide an assessment of the impact of a
proposed development on the transportation system and determine if
infrastructure improvements, service upgrades and mitigation measures are
required to reduce any adverse impacts of a proposed development. In this
assessment the TIS shall address not just automobile flows, but also have the
pedestrian as the first priority and his/her use of other modes of mobility.
The study should include an analysis of other modes of transportation such as
cycling, walking, and transit and how these modes of transportation will be
promoted, accommodated or impacted by the development.
198
This study may also include a parking analysis that may reduce the number of
spaces required by the zoning by-law. This reduction could be contemplated
when the site is adjacent to transit routes and/or it can be supported by a shared
parking analysis of demand times by use.”
762. Existing Study “Transportation Demand Management Study” is hereby amended by
changing the title as follows:
“Transportation Demand Management Plan Study”
763. A new Study has been added following renamed “Transportation Demand
Management Plan” as follows:
“Soil Capability Study
A Soil Capability Study identifies and assess the soil type on a specific property to
determine if the soil is suitable for the proposed change in land use and to ensure
that prime agricultural lands are not taken out of production. It assess the
capability of the soil to produce common field crops. Prime agricultural lands
(Classes 1-3) have moderate to no significant limitations in use for cultivation
and/or pasture. Non-prime agricultural lands (Classes 4-7) have severe to
unsuitable land for cultivation and/or pasture.
The study will be determined upon the assumption that the existing Canada Land
Inventory maps are correct. Detailed evidence must be systematically collected
and provided to test this assumption. Any areas found to have a different
classification rating than mapped by the Canada Land Inventory must be clearly
identified by the proponent undertaking the Soil Capability Study and assign a new
classification according to the Canada Land Inventory guidelines. A Soil Capability
Study cannot be accepted by the Municipality to reclassify Classes 1 to 3 soils. It
can only be used for evaluating Classes 4 to 7 properties mapped by Canada
Land Inventory to determine if the land is actually Classes 1 to 3 and/or organic
through the Soil Capability Study. If the lands classified as 4 to 7 are found to
actually be Classes 1 to 3 through the Soil Capability Study, these lands must be
avoided for non-agricultural uses.”
764. Existing study “Aggregate Extraction Area Study” is hereby amended as follows:
“Aggregate Extraction Area Study
An Aggregate Extraction Area Study shall include the following:
a) Description of the context of the proposed application including existing
landform features, all natural heritage features on and adjacent to the
site and their ecological functions, cultural heritage and archaeological
resources, existing and planner land uses adjacent to the development
site and along proposed haul routes, and existing licensed pits and
extraction limits, and abandoned pits;
199
b) A description of the project, including activities which may produce
impacts, and the anticipated quality and quantity of aggregate to be
extracted;
c) An extraction plan;
d) An identification and assessment of the impacts associated with the
project taking into account applicable provincial standards;
e) A description of proposed measures to mitigate the identified impacts,
including any measures to protect core natural heritage features on
adjacent lands and their ecological functions;
f) A progressive rehabilitation plan which, if applicable, takes into
account the objectives of any area-wide rehabilitation plan;
g) The criteria of a Natural Heritage Evaluation as contained in Appendix
A for applications located within the Natural Linkage Area as identified
on Map A;
h) The matters set out in Section 15.3.8 15.3.11, and 15.3.9 15.3.12 to
15.3.12 15.3.15 inclusive; and
i) The matters set out in Section 19.4.4: and
j) i) Any other matters deemed necessary by the Municipality or the
Region to address the applicable policies of this Plan.
An Aggregate Rehabilitation Plan is required as part of the license process under
the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Natural Resources pursuant to the Aggregate
Resources Act.”
765. Existing study “Cultural Heritage Resource Impact Assessment” is hereby amended
as follows:
“Heritage Impact Assessment Cultural Heritage Resource Impact Assessment
Heritage Impact Assessment is a study to evaluate the impact a proposed
development or site alteration will have on the cultural heritage resource(s) and to
recommend an overall approach to the conservation of the resource(s). This
analysis, which must be prepared by a qualified heritage conservation
professional, will address properties identified in the Municipality of Clarington’s
Inventory of Heritage Properties (which includes both listed and designated
properties) as well as any yet unidentified cultural heritage resource(s) found as
part of the site assessment.
This study will be based on a thorough understanding of the significance and
heritage attributes of the cultural heritage resource(s), identify any impact the
proposed development or site alteration will have on the resource(s), consider
mitigation options, and recommend a conservation strategy that best conserves
the resource(s) within the context of the proposed development or site
200
alteration. The conservation strategy will apply conservation principles, describe
the conservation work, and recommend methods to avoid or mitigate negative
impacts to the cultural heritage resource(s). Minimal intervention should be the
guiding principle for all work. Further, the conservation strategy recommendations
will be in sufficient detail to inform decisions and direct the conservation plan.
The Cultural Heritage Resource Impact Assessment is intended to provide
relevant information on the nature and significance of a heritage property and
develops the policy framework in which the heritage property can be conserved.
Any proposal for the development of a heritage property designated under the
Ontario Heritage Act or of a property abutting a designated heritage property would
need to identify and evaluate the impact of development or site alteration on the built
heritage resource or the cultural heritage landscape and recommend appropriate
impact mitigation measures and conservation strategies, based on conservation and
urban design principles, and provide a statement of cultural significance.”
766. A new Study is hereby added following “Park Concept Plan” as follows:
“Block Master Plan
A Block Master Plan may be required to ensure proposed community design
elements established in the Clarington Official Plan or Secondary Plan are
enhanced and further detailed for a smaller parcel of land. The limits of the area
are to be defined by the Municipality on a case-by-case basis and may involve an
appropriate conceptualization of the future development of the lands and the area
in the vicinity of the subject site, as well as show existing site conditions and/or
other concurrent proposals in the broader surrounding area.
Block Master Plans will:
evaluate the character, size, and urban form of residential, institutional,
commercial, and industrial sites;
determine the siting of a particular proposal within a broader
surrounding context;
co-ordinate the delivery of services and infrastructure;
co-ordinate the layout of roads and their location and configuration;
determine the location, layout, and function of parks and public
squares;
enhance the function of open space corridors, valleylands, woodlots
and other natural features; and
determine where to allocate development priority.
A Block Master Plan may also be used as a mechanism by which to evaluate
compliance of a proposal under ultimate built-out conditions.”

772. By introducing Appendix C Road Classifications as follows:
Table C-1 Classification Criteria
Criteria Definition
Traffic Service Objective Roads of higher classification should serve inter-regional and
regional traffic movements over relatively longer distances.
Lower order classifications should cater to local traffic
movements over shorter distances and provide access to
abutting property.
Land Service/Access Direct access from adjoining properties to roads of higher
classification should be limited or restricted in recognition of
their through traffic function, and for traffic safety and flow
reasons. Lower order classifications should provide direct
access to abutting lands where requires, assuming the
entranceway can be positioned in a safe location.
Traffic Volume Roads of higher classification being the principal routes
between traffic generating centres should accommodate
higher traffic usage relative to a lower classification, taking
into account urban and rural differences.
Flow Characteristics Roads primarily serving traffic movement should have traffic
control and design characteristics that permit uninterrupted
flow. On lower classification roads, drivers should expect
interrupted flow due to the frequency of accesses and
intersections, and the presence of more traffic control
devices, parked vehicles and pedestrian crossings.
Travel Speed The road cross-section and the roadside environment
generally determine the operating speeds on a roadway.
Speed limits are typically posted at the 85th percentile
operating speed. Roads of higher classification with emphasis
on long distance travel should be designed to accommodate
higher operating speeds than roads of lower classification.
Goods Movement Long distance commercial vehicle operation should occur on
roads of higher classification and be discouraged on local
roads.
Connectivity Roads should connect to other roads with the same or similar
functions, and to roads that are directly above or below them
in the hierarchy.
Transit Roads of higher classification should be the focus of the more
frequent and higher-order transit service, including express
bus operations. Lower classes of road should accommodate
bus operations of a more local nature.
Cycling and Pedestrian
Provisions
On roads of higher classification, cycling and pedestrian
activity should be restricted or provided for separate facilities.
204
Table C-1 Classification Criteria
Criteria Definition
On lower classes of roads, cycling and pedestrian activity
should be encouraged, but would not require dedicated
facilities.
Parking Parking should be prohibited or restricted on roads of higher
classification to provide for clearway conditions, while
curbside parking may be accommodated on lower road
classes.
Minimum Intersection Spacing Roads of higher classification should have limited,
appropriately spaced side road connections and should not
be intersected by lower class roads. They may be grade
separated or controlled at grade by well coordinated traffic
control signals. More frequent intersection spacing is
acceptable on lower classes of road. These intersections may
be controlled at grade using regulatory signs and other traffic
control mechanisms, including traffic calming measures.
Right-of-Way Width The cross-section of roads can range from divided, multi-lane
facilities for higher classifications, through to two-lane
undivided facilities for lower classes of road. This criterion is
related to route capacity as well as maneuverability of heavy
vehicles. The ultimate cross-section for a road generally
evolves over time as traffic volumes increase. As such, right-
of-ways should be of sufficient width to accommodate the
ultimate cross-section.
Continuity Roads of higher classification have longer continuous road
sections, serve inter-municipal or inter-regional traffic and are
characterized by higher volumes of through traffic. On the
other hand, lower order roads have shorter, discontinuous
road sections, serving shorter local trips and playing a key
role in providing access to adjacent properties.
Cross-Section Features Roads of higher classification tend to be higher capacity
routes with relatively higher operating speeds and traffic
volumes, with enhances features such as
acceleration/deceleration lanes, climbing and passing lanes,
and intersection turn bays to improve traffic flow. Lower
classes tend to have lower capabilities with lower operating
speeds and traffic volumes.
Vehicle Priority Roads of higher classification are likely to provide priority
capacity for particular modes/uses by way of bus lanes, truck
lanes or transit lanes. Lower road classes generally provide
for mixed traffic.
Network Spacing The spacing of roads in the hierarchy normally relates to the
density of activity occurring in the area. Roads of higher
classification will be spaced more widely apart than the lower
205

road classes, which provide for a completed grid to enable
