Report to the Development Item: DS-12-179 Services Committee (Continued) -2- Meeting Date: June 7, 2012

On January 18, 2010 a public meeting was held in respect to the original application. At its conclusion, the Development Services Committee adopted a recommendation to refer the application back to staff for further review and the preparation of a subsequent report and recommendation. The minutes of the public meeting form Attachment No. 7 to this report.

The key differences between the original plan (Attachment No.2) and the revised plan (Attachment No.3) from a proposed zoning perspective are:

(a) The proposed zoning boundary between the SI-A (Select Industrial) Zone and the OS (Open Space) Zone related to the woodlot area has shifted further west to reflect the developable area identified and supported by resulting from the EIS prepared by Niblett Environmental Associates Inc.; and

(b) The PSW buffer shown on part of the northern portion of the site has been added.

2.0 RECOMMENDATION

That the Development Services Committee recommend to Council:

1. That, pursuant to Report DS-12-179 dated May 31, 2012, the revised application submitted by Barbara BarloW' and Glemco Development Ltd. to amend Zoning By-law No. 60-94 (File: Z-2009-08) to permit SI-A (Select Industrial) uses at 1464 Thornton Road North and to permit SI-A (Select Industrial) and OS (Open Space) uses at 1472 Thornton Road North be approved in accordance with the comments contained in the above noted Report and that the necessary by-law be passed.

2. That in accordance with Section 34(17) of the Planning Act and notwithstanding that the rezoning proposed in the public meeting report and at the public meeting differs to some degree from that approved by City Council, such differences are not substantial enough to require further notice and another public meeting.

3. That the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan be amended for the subject sites to show the protected woodlot and the Provincially Significant Wetland buffer as Open Space and to change the General Industrial area to Select Industrial.

4. That staff be authorized to acquire, at no cost to the City, the protected woodlot and provincially significant wetland buffer as part of the development approval process.

3.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In response to a revised rezoning application submitted by Barbara Barlow and Glemco Development Ltd. for 1464 and 1472 Thornton Road North, this Department recommends the approval of an amendment to Zoning By.:law No. 60.,94 to permit SI-A (Select Industrial) development on part of the subject sites and to reflect a protected woodlot and a buffer to a Provincially Significant Wetland. The subject sites are located along an )

Report to the Development Item: 05-12-179 Services Committee (Continued) - 6 - Meeting Date: June 7, 2012

5.3 Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan

~ On April 16, 1992 City Council approved the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan as a guide for development in the Northwood Industrial Park. The Northwood Industrial Park is located north of Taunton Road West between the Oshawa-Whitby boundary and the west branch of the Oshawa Creek, extending north to Highway 407.

~ 1464 Thornton Road North is shown as Select Industrial in the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan.

~ The eastern portion of 1472 Thornton Road North (approximately 80 metres (262 ft) of depth) is shown as Select Industrial and the balance is shown as General Industrial in the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan.

~ Areas shown as Select Industrial in the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan permit light industrial uses as detailed in the Oshawa Official Plan and Zoning By-law No. 60-94.

~ Areas shown as General Industrial in the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan permit light, medium and heavy industrial uses as detailed in the Oshawa Official Plan and Zoning By-law No. 60-94. Not all Select Industrial uses are permitted in a General Industrial Zone.

~ It is recommended that the Northwood Industrial Park Concept Plan be appropriately amended to reflect the rezoning application and to show the area of the woodlot that is to be protected and the proposed PSW buffer as Open Space and the balance of the subject sites as Select Industrial.

5.4 Environmental Considerations Related to the Woodlot and Buffer to the Provincially Significant Wetland

~ During the review of the subject application, the applicant submitted for City, Region and CLOCA review a number of environmental reports prepared by consultants. The reports provided, as necessary, recommendations on the appropriateness of cutting into the existing woodlot on the west side of the property to facilitate development and on the appropriate buffer to the PSW to the north of subject site.

~ In this regard, a letter dated November 1, 2011 from Niblett Environmental Associates on behalf of Mr. Osso made the following observations/recommendations:

• Some intrusion into the woodland community is possible without impacting on the natural feature or its ecological functions.

• Removal of the outer 30 metres (98.4 ft.) of the woodlot would bring the development envelope up to the mid-successional forest area. The denseness of the stems and mix of ages of trees, saplings and groundcover would continue to regenerate and provide a buffer to the cedar forest. This young edge of sun

43

Report to the Development Item: 05-12-179 Services Committee (Continued) -7- Meeting Date: June 7, 2012

tolerant species and fast growing poplar species would not be negatively impacted by the exposure to a new edge and would continue to grow and diversity.

• A PSW buffer of 30 metres (98.4 ft.) is typically applied on wetlands in this area. However due to the limited extent of the wetland, its young nature and the fact it is off the property by approximately 11 metres (36.1 ft.) a PSW buffer of approximately 17 metres (55.8 ft.) is recommended.

~ CLOCA originally recommended that the entire woodlot plus an additional buffer from the woodlot be protected. CLOCA now has no objection of a 30 metre (98.4 ft.) encroachment into the woodlot provided the balance of the woodlot is conveyed to the City and the following mitigation recommendations contained in the Niblett letter are implemented:

• That a planting plan be prepared by a landscape architect that includes the planting of native tree species and supplemental plantings in the low areas of native fern species. The plan be approved by the City and CLOCA and subsequently executed.

• Once this planting is completed, it should be monitored for 2 years to ensure the plantings establish. An 80% survival rate should be used as a benchmark and if more trees succumb in the first two years that they be replanted.

• The management of buckthorn which may include the removal of some of the buckthorn to allow other tree species to regenerate.

• The part of the woodlot to be protected should be marked and staked and a sturdy 'snow and silt fence installed prior to any site preparation or cutting activities.

• No slash, stumps, soil or other material is permitted within the retained woodlot. The edge should be graded to match the existing grades and hummocks and drainage controlled to prevent excess runoff into this area.

• An appropriate chain link fence is to be installed around the entire woodland edge to prevent access.

• Removal of vegetation to occur outside the peak bird breeding season, May 1-July 31.

~ CLOCA originally recommended a minimum 30 metre (98.4 ft.) PSW buffer. CLOCA now has no objection to a PSW buffer of at least 17 metres (55.8 ft.) provided the buffer located on the subject sites (e.g. 6 metres) is conveyed to the City as a protected area. CLOCA also requests that the City consider vegetation planting to enhance the function of the PSW buffer area.

44

Report to the Development Item: 05-12-179 Services Committee (Continued) -8- Meeting Date: June 7, 2012

~ Mr. Osso has agreed to: convey the area of the woodlot to be protected and the PSW buffer on his land to the City at no cost; implem~nt the Niblett mitigation recommendations; and provide vegetation planting on "his" part of the PSW buffer.

5.5 Zoning By-law No. 60-94

~ The subject sites are zoned UR (Urban Reserve) in Zoning By-law No. 60-94 which only permits:

(a) Agricultural uses, but not including new farm dwellings;

(b) Existing uses, located in existing buildings or structures, provided such uses continue in the same manner and for the same purpose for which they were used on the day the By-law was passed, and new one-storey accessory buildings; and

(c) Outdoor recreational uses without any buildings or structures.

~ The revised application submitted by the applicants proposes:

(a) To rezone 1464 Thornton Road North from UR (Urban Reserve)" to SI-A (Select Industrial) subject to a special condition related to reduced lot frontage and lot area; and

(b) To rezone the eastern portion of 1472 Thornton Road North from UR (Urban Reserve) to SI-A (Select Industrial) subject to a special condition related to reduced lot frontage and to rezone the western portion and part of the northern portion of 1472 Thornton Road North from UR (Urban Reserve) to an appropriate OS (Open Space) Zone to recognize that part of an existing woodlot that is to be protected and part of a PSW buffer.

~ The SI-A (Select Industrial) Zone requires a lot to have a minimum lot frontage of 30 metres (98.4 ft) and a minimum lot area of 2,000 square metres (21,528 sq ft). 1464 Thornton Road North has lot frontage of 27.33 metres (89.7 ft) and a lot area of 1,500 square metres (16,146 sq. ft.). 1472 Thornton Road North has a lot frontage of 27.37 metres (89.8 ft) and a proposed industrial lot area of 1.88 hectares (4.65 ac.).

~ This Department has no objection to the approval of the revised application. The recommended amendment to Zoning By-law No. 60-94 would:

(a) Rezone 1464 Thornton Road North to SI-A (Select Industrial) subject to a special condition related to reduced lot frontage and lot area;

(b) Rezone the protected woodlot area and that portion of the "17 metre (55.8 ft.) PSW buffer on 1472 Thornton Road North to an appropriate OSE (Environmentally Sensitive Open Space) Zone;

45

Report to the Development Item: 05-12-179 Services Committee (Continued) - 9 - Meeting Date: June 7,2012

(c) Rezone the balance of 1472 Thornton Road North to SI-A (Select Industrial) subject to a special condition related to reduced lot frontage.

(d) Apply an "h" holding symbol to the SI-A Zoned areas which would restrict development until such time as:

• Site plan approval is obtained from the City including appropriate fencing, landscaping and lighting;

• Appropriate arrangements are made for municipal servicing, including stormwater management matters;

• A Record of Site Condition, acknowledged by the Ministry of the Environment, has been provided to the satisfaction of the City, indicating that the soils of the site are suitable for industrial/commercial development in accordance with the appropriate Provincial guidelines;

• That the protected woodlot area and PSW buffer on 1472 Thornton Road North are conveyed to the City at no cost with appropriate landscaping in the PSW buffer and mitigation measures related to the woodlot as recommended in the Niblett letter; and further, that an appropriate access easement is granted in favour of the City for maintenance of the woodlot and the PSW buffer;

• All of the requirements of CLOCA are satisfied; • A noise study is completed to the satisfaction of the City; • Land use compatibility with respect to the Oshawa Municipal Airport is achieved

through such matters as the location and design of the refuse enclosures (e.g. all refuse enclosures will be wildlife/bird proof);

• Opportunities for appropriate cross access easements are provided.

While the "h" holding symbol is in place UR (Urban Reserve) uses will be permitted.

5.6 Site Design Considerations

~ The site plan submitted with the revised application is conceptual and was produced by the applicants to show how the property could be developed given the constraints of the woodlot and PSW buffer. Therefore, the site design has not been reviewed in detail. Any future site plan application would be reviewed to ensure compliance with any Council approval of the rezoning, the City's Landscaping Design Policies and other applicable policies.

~ Any site plan approval process will address, amongst others, the following matters:

(a) Appropriate landscaping and fencing; (b) Site design matters such as building location, grading and servicing, including

stormwater management; (c) Tree preservation; and (d) The location and design of the refuse areas and compatibility with the Oshawa

Municipal Airport.

46

Report to the Development Item: 05-12-179 Services Committee (Continued) - 10- Meeting Date: June 7, 2012

5.7 Basis for Recommendation

~ This Department has no objection to the approval of the revised application for the following key reasons:

• The subject application conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Oshawa Official Plan;

• The subject application supports and facilitates industrial development in the Northwood Industrial Park;

• The proposed development has access to an arterial road; • The proposed development can be designed to be compatible with adjacent land

uses; • The majority of the woodlot and an appropriate buffer to the PSW on the property

to the north will be protected; and • The proposed development represents good planning.

6.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

~ The Recommendation includes the City acquiring a woodlot and environmental buffer.

~ Community Services (Parks and Environmental) anticipates the annual operating costs of maintaining the woodlot and buffer to be approximately $250. These costs can be accommodated within the current Parks and Environmental Services Operating Budget.

7.0 RESPONSE TO THE COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN

~ Approval of the subject application would advance Goal B (A Green and Sustainable Community) of the City's Community Strategic Plan by managing growth and using land wisely and by taking a proactive approach to environmental management and protection.
