PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to provide background information for the Planning Act public
meeting on applications submitted by Beechnut Development Corporation Limited
(Beechnut) to amend the Eastdale Part II Plan of the Oshawa Official Plan and Zoning By­
law No. 60-94 and for approval of draft plan of subdivision (S-0-2013-01) to permit 39
single detached dwelling lots and a walkway block on a new crescent road on lands
generally located east of Fleetwood Drive, south of the future Kettering Drive extension.
The subject site was originally approved as a new elementary school site for the Durham
District School Board. The school site is no longer required by the Durham District School
Board.
The City of Oshawa recently acquired from Beechnut a 10 metre (33ft.) wide piece of land
immediately east of the proposed subdivision that now forms part of the future Kettering
Park.
This small strip of park land is currently zoned R1-C(4) (Residentiai)/CIN
(Community Institutional). The balance of Kettering Park is zoned OSP (Park Open
Space). For housekeeping purposes, it is proposed that this 10 metre wide strip of City
owned parkland also be zoned as OSP (Park Open Space) during the processing of the
subject applications.
Attachment No. 1 is a map showing the location of the subject site and the existing zoning
in the area.
Attachment No. 2 is a copy of the proposed draft plan of subdivision S-0-2013-01
submitted by the applicant.
Attachment No. 3 is a copy of the proposed Official Plan Amendment to the Eastdale Part
II Plan.

Oshawa Official Plan and Eastdale Part II Plan
~ The
subject site is designated as Residential in the Oshawa Official Plan. The Oshawa
Official Plan specifies, in part, that areas designated as Residential shall be
predominately used for residential dwellings.
~ The
subject site is designated as Community Use - Public Elementary School in the
Eastdale Part II Plan.
~ Section
8.3.5.3 of the Eastdale Part II Plan states that an Official Plan Amendment is
not required to use the site for Low Density Residential uses, provided the site is not
needed for either the intended public elementary school or other community uses. The
Durham District School Board does not require this site.
~ The
owner has submitted an application to amend the Eastdale Part II Plan to delete
the Community Use - Public Elementary School designation (see Attachment No. 3).
The owner wishes to develop single detached dwellings on the site rather than market
the site for other community uses.
~ Fleetwood
Drive is a Collector Road. The proposed crescent road will be a local road.
~ The
policies and provisions of the Oshawa Official Plan and the Eastdale Part II Plan
will be considered during the further processing of the subject applications.
5.3
Zoning By-law No. 60-94
~ The
subject site is currently zoned R1-C(4) (Residentiai)/CIN (Community Institutional).
The R1-C(4) (Residential) zoning permits single detached dwellings on lots with a
minimum lot frontage of 13.5 metres (44.3 ft.) and a minimum lot area of 360 square
metres (3,875 sq. ft.). The GIN (Community Institutional) zoning permits an assembly
hall, children's shelter, church, club, excluding a nightclub, day care centre, elementary
school, private school and secondary school.

Services Committee (Continued)
-5-
Item: DS-13-179 Meeting Date: June 17, 2013 ~ Proposed
draft plan of subdivision S-0-2013-01 includes some lots having a minimum
lot frontage of 11 metres (36 ft.) and a minimum lot area of 305 square metres
(3,283 sq. ft.). The majority of the proposed lots do not comply with the existing R1­
C(4) requirements. As a result, the applicant has submitted a rezoning application to
permit the proposed development and to delete the existing CIN zoning.
~
The applicant has requested that the subject subdivision site be rezoned to R1-E(5)
(Residential) Zone which permits single detached dwellings subject to a special
condition related to minimum yard depths, maximum building height and maximum lot
coverage (see Attachment No. 4). The R1-E(5) Zone applies to other lots in this area
(see Attachment No. 1).
~ The
proposal to rezone the 10 metre (33ft.) wide piece of City owned land immediately
east of the proposed draft plan of subdivision to OSP (Park Open Space) is a
housekeeping measure to recognize that this land is part of Kettering Park.
~
The subject applications will be reviewed against the provisions of Zoning By-law
No. 60-94 during further processing of the subject applications.
5.4
Subdivision Design Considerations
~ The
proposed draft plan of subdivision shows 39 lots for single detached dwellings on a
crescent road and a walkway block connecting the new road to the future Kettering
Park (see Attachment No. 2).
~ Detailed
design matters will be reviewed during the further processing of the
applications to ensure compliance with the City's Landscaping Design Policies,
engineering standards and other policies. This Department will conclude its position on
the subdivision design after it has received and assessed comments from the circulated
departments, agencies and the public.
~ Some
of the specific matters this Department will be reviewing during the further
processing of the subject applications include:
(a)
