That Report PD 09-11 of the Director, Planning & Development be received; 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 35/05, submitted by Ansar Medical Services Inc. to permit a mixed use development on lands being Part of Lot 18, Concession 2 be approved; and 3. Further, that the zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 35/11, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 09-11, be forwarded to City Council. for enactment. Executive Summary: The applicant requests an amendment to the zoning by-law to permit a mixed use development consisting of multi-storey residential and commercial uses (see Applicant's Submitted Plan -Attachment #2). The conceptual design is for all buildings to be in the five to six storey range. The site is located on the east side of Brock Road approximately midway between Finch Avenue and the Third Concession Road, opposite McBrady Crescent (see Location Map - Attachment #1). The proposal is for a compact mixed-use development that provides a range of residential living accomodations as well as retail and office commercial opportunities. The proposal is considered compatible with the Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines that establishes future surrounding land uses. The implementation of the proposed development will help achieve the City's urbanization objectives for the east side of Brock Road, establish the desired building form for this portion of Brock Road, and provide greater support for existing businesses and transit along this Regional Corridor. Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 2 24 The application has been revised since the Public Information meeting in order to resolve environmental concerns, incorporate a more urban design, and increase density. The recommended draft zoning by-law addresses building location and appropriate performance standards for the development. The draft zoning by-law also contains an "(H)" Holding Provision for the site. It is anticipated that the "(H)" Holding Provision will be addressed in phases with the first phase of development anticipated to be in the westerly portion of the property fronting Brock Road. The application is recommended for approval. The implementing by-law is appropriate as it implements the Official Plan, is in accordance with Provincial policy, and constitutes appropriate land use planning. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. Sustainability Implications: The applicant's proposal is aligned with the City of Pickering Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines. It achieves the Level 1 requirements for Guideline #2 (Plan of Subdivision, Site Plan, Rezoning and Building Permit Guidelines). It is a redevelopment site adjacent to existing uses that would develop the lands in a form that accommodates appropriate urbanization and intensification and will utilize existing infrastructure and amenities within the City's urban area. The proposed mixed-use development will be well served by, and will help support, future public transit along Brock Road. Specific sustainability features include: • provision of community uses • adjacent to a Regional Transportation Spine • providing a mixed-use development • intensification within the municipal built boundary • reduction of reliance on the automobile • enhanced pedestrian environment • additional employment opportunities • recycling encouraged • efficient use of resources, and • transferring environmentally sensitive land into public ownership In addition, there will be an opportunity to improve this rating still further as additional sustainability factors become available through site plan review and detailed building design. Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 3 25 .1.0 Background: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (Ansar) proposes a mixed use development on the subject lands, located on the east side of Brock Road midway between Finch Avenue and the Third Concession Road, opposite McBrady Crescent (see Location Map - Attachment #1). The total property has an area of approximately 3.3 hectares and is currently occupied by two detached dwellings that are proposed to be removed. The majority of the site, approximately 2.1 hectares, is located below the top-of-bank and therefore in the valley lands of the East Duffin Creek. The applicant's conceptual site plan (see Attachment #2), revised since the original submission in 2005, is proposing four multi-storey buildings on a net area of approximately 1.2 hectares, consisting of: • a 6-storey mixed use building fronting Brock Road with ground floor retail/commercial, second floor office use and four floors for residential uses (48 apartment units and 3,000 square metres of commercial/office uses) • a 5-storey apartment building flanking Brock Road (48 units) • a 5-storey retirement home with 88 suites and a 5-storey long term care facility with 152 beds in the interior eastern portion of the property The concept provides for underground parking for the majority of the parking requirements. Surface parking is provided for visitors and retail users. The applicant has indicated that the site is proposed to be developed in phases, with the two buildings in the western portion fronting Brock Road being developed first and the eastern rear portion being developed as a later phase. Access to the site is proposed from a single driveway off Brock Road. The plan provides for a connection at the rear of the site to a future north-south internal roadway through properties to the south, which will provide a secondary access to Brock Road at the Major Oaks Road signalized intersection. This will ensure that if in the future the Region of Durham restricts the Brock Road access to right-in and right-out only through the introduction of a centre median, the subject property will still have access to the southbound lanes of Brock Road.

(A 35/05) Page 4 26 2.0 Comments Received 2.1 At the July 23, 2007 Public Information Meeting One area resident spoke at the Information Meeting to seek information and express concerns respecting additional traffic on Brock Road and the impacts of the development on the surrounding community (see Text of the Information Report - Attachment #3 and Meeting Minutes - Attachment #4). 2.2 Written Public Submissions on the application One written submission was received from an area resident expressing strong support for the project, particularly the long term care facility (see Attachment #5). 2.3 City Department and Agency Comments Region of Durham • the proposed amendment is consistent with the Region's Planning policies Department • a noise study will be required that addresses noise impacts and mitigation measures for the residential dwelling units • municipal water supply is available to the subject property • sanitary sewer service will have to be provided to the property at the owner's expense by the extension of services from the south • site access might be restricted to right-in / right-out in the future due to the reconstruction of Brock Road that may include a raised centre median • a Durham Region Transit stop should be incorporated along the Brock Road frontage of the property • the Site Plan Review process will address matters including site access, transit stop, road widening, service connections (see Attachment #6) Toronto and TRCA have no objection to the appliction subject to the Region lands being zoned with a "(H)" Holding symbol to ensure Conservation that TRCA requirements are satisfied, which include Authority (TRCA) conveyance of valley and buffer lands, submission of various technical reports and the entering into a site plan/development agreement (see Attachment #7) Engineering the Stormwater and Environmental Engineer advised that Services low impact development measures be considered to address stormwater management requirements (see Attachment #8) the Supervisor, Engineering & Capital Works provided comments related to municipal sidewalks on the Brock Road frontage (see Attachment #9) Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 5 27 Development . provided technical comments on the submitted Control studies/reports • applicant will be required to enter into an agreement with the City that will address future cost sharing for downstream services, roads storm sewers and permanent pond • the agreement must also address any off site works on Brock Road which the City will cost share (see Attachment #10) 2.4 Other Agencies No other agency (being technical agencies) that provided comments on the application expressed any concern with the proposed land use. 3.0 Discussion: 3.1 The Proposed Uses and Built Form are Supportable and Comply with the Official Plan and Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines The subject lands are designated "Open Space Natural Area" and "Urban Residential Area - Medium Density Area" in the Official Plan. The "Natural Area lands reflect the valleylands which are required to be conveyed to the TRCA and zoned accordingly. The developable portion of the subject property is designated "Urban Residential Area - Medium Density" (Brock Ridge Neighbourhood). This designation is intended for residential uses, home occupations, limited offices serving the area, and limited retailing of goods and services serving the area; community, cultural and recreational uses; and compatible employment and special purpose commercial uses serving the area. At 79 units per hectare, the residential portion of the proposal achieves the upper limit of the Official Plan density range of a minimum of 30 units and up to 80 units per net hectare. The proposed commercial and residential uses are consistent with the Medium Density design and appropriate for the subject lands. Situated adjacent to a regional transit corridor, the subject lands are considered an appropriate location for higher density residential uses. The proposal is further supported by the polices of the Durham Regional Official Plan and Provincial Growth Plan. The concept plan provides for a built form that will create an appropriate urban edge along Brock Road. The design of the proposed development will establish a building massing that is anticipated to be followed as surrounding properties are develop. Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 6 28 The Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines (DPDG) state the area is to be a residential neighbourhood of compact urban form featuring a broad variety of housing types and structured around an interior road. The concept plan for the development proposes a compact urban form, a housing form for a variety of different users while creating a positive streetscape, a central corridor that terminates with a vista of the open space lands and achieving the desired density and intensification of a development situated along a prominent municipal corridor, consistent with the Development Guidelines. The proposed buildings along Brock Road are designed with a five and six storey massing that will establish the site as a prominent location along Brock Road yet not overpower the existing residential areas located on the west side of Brock Road. This will establish the desired built-form edge that has been identified as the desired character for the urban fabric along the east side of Brock Road. The concept plan provides for the more intensive uses (mixed use building and apartment building) being located next to Brock Road, while the less intensive uses (the assisted seniors building and the long term care facility) are located adjacent to the valley lands. 3.2 The Proposed Development is Considered Compatible with the Existing Neighbourhood Although the Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines envisage housing as the primary land use for this area of the precinct, a mixed use proposal containing limited commercial uses is appropriate. Brock Road will buffer the neighbouring low density residential areas on the west side of Brock Road from the more intensive uses on the east side. It is anticipated that abutting properties to the north and south will also be redeveloped in time. The lands to the north have the ability in the DPDG to be developed at a greater intensity than the subject lands as they are designated "Mixed Use Areas - Community Node" in the Official Plan and therefore have an increased intensification ceiling in terms of density and building height. For the abutting lands to the south, the DPDG permit the same intensity as the subject land and therefore would be compatible with the uses proposed in the subject application. 3.3 A Number of Issues Remain Outstanding Prior to Construction Planning & Development Department are supportive of the proposed land use, however, prior to authorizing any site works on the property, a number of technical matters need to be finalized. i Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 7 29 The City and TRCA require that an update to the 1999 Master Environment Servicing Plan (MESP) be prepared. This work is currently underway by Sernas Associates under contract with Kindwin Development Corporation (David Brand), being one of the larger land owners in the Precinct. Costs associated with updating the MESP will be proportionately shared by all benefitting property owners in the area. The updated MESP will reflect revised floodlines which impact the amount of developable lands in the precinct. The Development Guidelines (Tertiary Plan) will be updated based on the recommendation of the MESP. TRCA recommends that development not be permitted to proceed until such time as the MESP is substantially complete and stormwater management requirements have been determined and accepted by the City and TRCA. The applicant may have the ability to address their stormwater management needs on site and this will be investigated as the application advances. The following items will be required prior to the lifting of the "(H)" Holding symbol: • the updated Master Environmental Servicing Plan for the Duffins Precinct south lands • a revised Environmental Impact Study • a revised Hydrogeological Assessment • a revised Servicing and Stormwater Management Feasibility Study • a mitigation and/or compensation plan for impacts on the draw/ditch feature • a Noise Impact Study • a site plan/development agreement requiring, among other things, appropriate arrangements for the conveyance of open space lands; conveyance of required road widening and sight triangle; cost recovery for the proportionate value of works and studies undertaken on behalf of all benefitting property owners in the area; and fulfilling the requirements of the Region and TRCA. 3.4 The Owner will have to Satisfy the Region of Durham that appropriate Sanitary Services are Available to the Site The Regional Works Department has indicated that existing sanitary sewer services are not available for the proposed uses on the subject lands. The sanitary servicing of the site was envisioned to be via the extension of the services located on Brock Road just north of Finch Avenue along an internal road within the Duffins Precincts. With the proposed development proceeding prior to the development of the internal road, the applicant will be responsible for the cost of extending the services to the property. Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 8 30 3.5 Parking Provisions for the Proposed Uses will be Provided In considering the parking requirements for the development, staff has reviewed parking requirements for similar mixed use development that proposes the range of uses, including a long term care facility and seniors retirement building. Given that uses such as a long term care facility and seniors retirement building typically generate their greatest parking demand on weekends and evenings, a shared parking program for these uses is considered appropriate. Standard parking requirements will apply for the commercial and apartment components of the development. The parking rate for the retirement home is consistent with requirements used in Pickering and those of other municipalities. A reduced parking rate is reflected in the parking requirements for the long term care facility in the proposed zoning by-law as the peak parking demand for this use is during off-peak times of the office uses. A more detailed review of parking design and function will be undertaken through the site plan review process. 3.6 Site Plan Matters will be addressed through the Site Plan Review Process It. is recognized that the current site design is still in the conceptual stage and will evolve over time. The owner has advised they are willing to work with the City in order to achieve a high order of urban design that best achieves the City's desire for a quality streetscape along Brock Road. Therefore, as the processing of the project advances, matters such as building design and orientation will be explored in order to ensure the goals of all parties are accomplished. Further site development matters concerning the City, Region and TRCA will. be more thoroughly addressed through the Site Plan Review process, which will address, but not be limited to, such items as: • building massing and orientation • pedestrian accessibility • facade design • accessibility • on-site circulation and parking • commitments regarding construction for the future access • landscaping, servicing, stormwater management, erosion control, and low impact design methods In addition, as a condition of Site Plan Approval, the site plan agreement will provide for proportionate cost sharing associated with the MESP update by all benefitting property owners in the study area. Report PD 09-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Ansar Medical Services Inc. (A 35/05) Page 9 31 3.7 A Site Specific Amendment to Zoning By-law 3036 should be enacted The conceptual site plan provided by the applicant provides sufficient detail to enable the preparation of an implementing zoning by-law that establishes appropriate development standards, ensures acceptable compliance with the Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines, and provides suitable buffers to adjacent properties. Details of site design will be determined through the site plan review process. Appendix I to Report PD 09-11 contains the recommended amendment to the zoning by-law. The By-law includes: a) restrictions on the permitted uses; b) minimum and maximum building height provisions; c) zoning requirements respecting building location; d) parking requirements; e) minimum density and maximum number of units; f) maximum commercial gross leasable floor area; g) open space zone for valleylands to be conveyed to TRCA; and h) an "H" Holding provision to ensure all agency requirements are satisfied. 4.0 Applicant's Comments: The applicant is aware of the content of this report and concurs with the recommendations of the report.

Georgieff, MCIP, RPP to permit a mixed-use development. containing residential, commercial and Commissioner of Planning institutional uses. The subject properties are currently zoned A - Agricultural. Regional Official Plan The subject lands are currently designated `Living Area' with the 'Regional Corridor' overlay and 'Major Open Space' in the Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP). The ROP states that Living Areas shall be used predominantly for housing purposes, as well as limited office and retail development in appropriate locations. The ROP also states that Living Areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads. Regional Corridors shall be planned and developed as mixed-use areas, which include residential, commercial and service areas with higher densities, supporting higher order transit services and pedestrian oriented development. Amendment No. 128 to the Regional Official Plan. was adopted by Regional Council on June 3rd, 2009 and forwarded.to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval. This amendment- revises policy 8A.2.9 of the ROP relating to Regional Corridors, and states that: Portions of Regional Corridors with an underlying Living Area designation, which are identified as appropriate for higher density mixed-use development in area municipal official plans, should support an overall, long-term density target of 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index of 2.5. The built form should be a wide variety of building forms, generally mid-rise in height, with some higher buildings, as detailed in area municipal official plans. "Ser`vice Excellence - for our Communities" 100% Post Consumer ATTACHiiENT # ~0 TO 5 9 REPORT # PD OCI- 1I i The ROP states that the predominant use of lands in Major Open Space areas shall be conservation. The ROP also states that any proposal for development or site alteration shall demonstrate that there will be no negative effects on key natural heritage or hydrologic features or their functions. The northwest and, eastern portions of the subject lands are identified as containing a "Key Natural Heritage and/or Hydrologic Feature", as per Schedule B - Map B1d in the ROP. An Environmental Impact Study, prepared by Beacon Environmental and dated November 2009, was submitted in support of this application. The report concludes that functions and attributes of the natural heritage system of the proposed area for development on the subject lands are currently subject to extensive urban stresses, but with effective implementation of mitigation measures recommended in the above report, the effects of the proposed development on the natural features will be negligible. It is suggested that the City of Pickering obtain comments from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regarding this study. As a creek flows through and is adjacent to the subject properties, comments from .the TRCA are required to ensure that a sufficient setback has been given to protect the watercourse from adverse impact from development. j Brock Road is designated as a Transit Spine in the ROP. Development adjacent to Transit Spines shall provide for complementary higher density uses and buildings oriented towards the street. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Region's policies stated above. Provincial Policies & Delegated Review Responsibilities This application has been screened in accordance with the terms of the provincial plan review responsibilities. Road Noise The subject properties are within 300 m of Brock Road, which is a Regional Road and a Type 'A' arterial road, and as such, the Region recommends that a Noise Impact Study, which addresses noise impacts and mitigation measures for the residential units within the application, be prepared and submitted for review. Regional Services Municipal water supply is available to the subject lands from an existing 300 mm watermain on Brock Road. The subject lands are within the designated Pickering Zone 1 pressure district and the estimated static water pressure for this area is approximately 74 pounds per square inch. Sanitary sewer services are not currently available to the subject properties. The extension of sanitary sewer services is dependent on the development of lands to the south. The existing sanitary sewer on the west side of Brock Road does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate development of the subject lands. The applicant will be required to extend the sanitary sewer from the existing 450 mm ATTACH114ENT (0 TO 60 REPORT # PD__ Oq' 1 I applicant will be required to extend the sanitary sewer from the existing 450 mm diameter sanitary sewer, approximately 250 metres north of the intersection of Brock Road and Finch Avenue. Durham Region Transit & Transportation A bus stop is currently located on the east side of Brock Road, near the southern boundary of the subject properties. If this rezoning application is approved, the appended site plan should be revised to incorporate this bus stop, which should include a hard surface adjacent to the road, a transit shelter, and a hard surface connection to the sidewalk along the east side of Brock Road. Brock Road is designated as a Type "A" Arterial Road in the Durham Regional Official Plan. The Region requires sufficient widening to provide for a 22.5 metre right-of-way east of the centerline of Brock Road. The proposed access to Brock Road will require a right turn lane with an.8 metre throat width and a 10 metre turning radii. Brock Road is tentatively scheduled for reconstruction between 2013 and 2021 where it will be widened to 6 lanes. Part of the reconstruction may require a raised centre median to restrict traffic to right-in / right-out movement only. A detailed site plan drawing will be required for review by the Regional Works Department.

Further to our letter of March 18, 2010, we have reviewed Drawing No. 3, Limit of Development, prepared by Sabourin Kimble, received on October 1, 2010. Based on our discussions and the proposed cut fill balance, TRCA is prepared to accept the line illustrated as "Limit of Development" on this drawing as the dividing line between lands to be designated for future development and lands to be designated as open space hazard lands, the latter to be conveyed to the TRCA through a future development application. We advise that any lands required for public trail access along the valley or for servicing future development must be located on the lands to be designated for future development. Lands to be designated as open space hazard lands shall be used for re-naturalization purposes only due, in part, to the nature of the proposed grades. Therefore, the TRCA has no objection to the approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment subject to lands located east of the line illustrated as "Limit of Development" on Drawing No. 3, Limit of Development, prepared by Sabourin Kiiribie, received o11 October 'i, 20 10 being designated as Open Space for conservation purposes, and the Zoning By-law including an "H" holding symbol that will require submission and acceptance of the following prior to the lifting of the "H" to TRCA satisfaction: • a Master Environmental Servicing Plan Update for the Duffins Precinct South Lands; • a revised Environmental Impact Study; • a revised Hydro-G Assessment; • a revised Servicing and SWM Feasibility Study; • a mitigation and/or compensation plan for impacts to the draw feature; • a Registered Reference Plan delineating the required open space hazard lands to be conveyed to the TRCA; • an agreement to convey the open space hazard lands to TRCA; and G:\Home\Public\Development Services\Durham Region\Pickering\21 77 - 21 215 brock_5.doc Member of Conservation Ontario 5 Shoreham Drive, Downsview, Ontario M3N 1S4 (416) 661-6600 FAX 661-6898 www.trca.on.ca .aE Ross P m -2- October 6 2010 6.2 ATTACHNTNT fo a Site Plan and/or Development.

It is unclear how this small area will maintain a permanent pool. Given that water quantity is not required for this site, a stormwater pond for such a small area seems overly excessive. As this area would not be considered a hot spot, other LID measures should be looked at to deal with the water quality for the parking lot and landscaped area, such as a biofilter with an impermeable membrane.

J Cif Report To ' Planning & Development Committee PICKERING Report Number: PD 10-11 Date: April 11, 2011 67 From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment - A 10/10 Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. on behalf of St. Mary & St. John the Beloved Coptic Orthodox Church 980 - 984 Kingston Road (Range 3 B.F.C.

That Report PD 10-11 of the Director, Planning & Development be received; 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 10/10, submitted by Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. on behalf of St. Mary & St. John the Beloved Coptic Orthodox Church, to permit a place of religious assembly, a day nursery and limited commercial uses on lands being Part 1 40R-3466, Parts 2-5 40R-5805 and Part 1 40R-11779, be approved; and 3. Further, that the draft zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 10/10, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 10-11, be forwarded to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The subject lands are located on the north side of Kingston Road east of Fait o port Road between Merntton Road and the CN Rail overpass (see Location Map - Attachment #1). The subject lands contain two vacant buildings that have been used most recently for automobile dealerships. The owner, on behalf of St. Mary & St. John the Beloved Coptic Orthodox Church, is proposing to amend the zoning by-law to permit a place of religious assembly, a day nursery and limited commercial uses in addition to certain uses already permitted on the site (see Applicant's Submitted Plan - Attachment #2). The application is recommended for approval. The proposed uses are compatible and appropriate for the subject lands in this neighbourhood and offer the opportunity for a reuse of the existing buildings in conformity with the Official Plan. Report PD 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. (A 10/10) Page 2 Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. Sustainability Implications: Staffs review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Due to the nature of the proposal (adding new uses within an existing commercial building to utilize vacant space), there are limited opportunities to achieve a Level 1. The development proposal provides opportunities for efficient use of vacant space, potential for greater diversity of uses for the area and takes advantage of existing infrastructure within the City's urban area. The applicant's proposal to reuse the existing building helps to keep materials out of landfill sites for an extended. period of time. There may also be an opportunity to improve the sustainable aspects of the subject site through site plan review and through interior building permit processes. 1.0 Background: The applicant is proposing to amend the zoning by-law to permit a place of religious assembly, a day nursery and other uses at 980 & 984 Kingston Road. The property is currently occupied by two vacant buildings which were previously occupied by automobile dealerships. Currently, business office, financial institution, professional office, restaurant - type A, vehicle repair shop and vehicle sales or rental establishment uses are permitted on the subject lands. 2.0 Comments Received: 2.1 At the February 7, 2011 Public Information Meeting (see text of Information Report & Meeting Minutes, Attachments #3 & #4) Anneta Tomais of 5 Todd Road, Ajax spoke on behalf of Muppets Child Care Centre located at 986 Dunbarton Road. She noted concern with the proposed day nursery on the grounds that there were already four daycare centres in the area, that her facility was not at capacity and that an additional facility may negatively impact their enrolment numbers. Verne Bruce of 975 Merritton Road (adjacent to the subject lands), appeared in opposition to the application. He noted concern that the daycare would generate additional noise during the day, that it might increase on-street parking on Merritton Road and that it was not an appropriate use for the site given the close proximity to the railway tracks. He suggested that if a day nursery were to be approved it should be restricted to the most easterly building on the site. 2.2 Written Public Submissions on the application No written public submissions were received on the application. Report PD 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. (A 10/10) Page 3 69 2.3 City Departments and Agency Comments Region of Durham • the site is designated "Living Area" with a Planning Department "Regional Corridor" overlay in the Durham Regional Official plan, intended to be planned and developed for mixed-uses, including residential, commercial and service areas with higher densities • cultural facilities for purposes such as religion are to be directed to- locations that are visible and accessible to residents of the Region, preferably in close proximity to existing and future transit routes • the application has been screened in accordance with Provincial Interests and Delegated Review • a Record of Site Condition should be filed with the Ministry of the Environment prior to approval of the application (see Attachment #5) Toronto and Region require a separate conservation zone category for Conservation Authority the portion of Dunbarton Creek that crosses the (TRCA) property (see Attachment #6) CN Rail it is up to the proponent and municipality to consider the potential for any impacts to proposed uses near active railway lines and whether attenuation measures are warranted for industrial and commercial uses. Recommendations include that buildings be set back 30 metres from the railway right-of-way in conjunction with a 2.5 metre high berm or a 2.0 metre high berm for secondary main lines (see Attachment #7) No other agency that provided comment has any objection to the subject applications. i 3.0 Discussion: 3.1 The proposed uses comply with the Regional Official Plan and the City's Official Plan The applicant's proposal conforms to the Region of Durham Official Plan which designates the subject properties "Living Area" with a "Regional Corridor" overlay. Regional Corridors are intended to be used for residential, commercial and service areas with higher densities, supporting transit service and featuring a high degree of pedestrian oriented design. Cultural facilities, including places of religious assembly, are permitted in urban areas at locations that are visible and preferably in close proximity to existing and proposed transit routes, which is the case with this application. i Report PD 10-11 April _ 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. (A 10/10) Page 4 70 I The City of Pickering Official Plan designates the subject properties "Mixed-Use Area - Mixed Corridor" (Dunbarton Neighbourhood). The proposed uses are in keeping with the Official Plan policies which encourage mixed uses to serve a broader area at a community scale and intensity. Approval of the zoning by-law amendment to permit the requested uses conforms to the City's Official Plan. The City is currently undertaking a review of the Pickering Official Plan and Kingston Road Development Guidelines in order to bring them into conformity with the Provincial Growth Plan. Specific areas of the City, including the Kingston Road Corridor, are being reviewed as potential locations for increased intensification. Approval of the proposed zoning by-law amendment will not preclude the future redevelopment of the site at a higher density. Staff recommend that the proposed uses be restricted to the existing buildings on the site, so that any additions or redevelopment of the site can be reviewed in accordance with future intensification policies. 3.2 The proposed uses are appropriate for the, site The location of the subject lands on an arterial road and transit spine are appropriate for a place of religious assembly use. The site is well buffered from residential areas to the north by the CN Rail line and to the abutting residential property on Merritton Road, by a substantial change in grade. The proposed restriction of the permitted uses to existing buildings further minimizes the impact of the change of use on neighbouring properties. The place of religious assembly use is proposed to be located in the easterly building on the site. Proposed uses for the westerly building include a day nursery, uses accessory to the place of religious assembly and commercial uses such as business offices, commercial school, financial institution, and professional office. The westerly building is considered more appropriate for a day nursery as it is located beyond the recommended 30 metre setback from the CN rail line. Sufficient space is available on the site for parking and circulation related to a daycare centre. Space for a potential play area is also available at the west limit of the property. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for a daycare centre, staff will require site plan approval to confirm the location of a play area and adequate on-site circulation related to the use. In response to the concern raised at the Public Meeting regarding a potential over-supply of daycare facilities in the area, the City does not regulate competition of this type of use through zoning. Each application is considered on its own merits based on planning considerations. With respect to the concern raised about the potential noise generated by a daycare use on the adjacent neighbouring residential property to the north, the substantial grade differential between the two properties should limit the noise reaching the rear yard of the residential property. Report PD 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. (A 10/10) Page 5 71 The residential property is approximately 2.5 metres higher than the grade of the westerly building. In addition, the residential property is more likely to be affected by noise generated by the surrounding commercial uses, the CN Rail line, and adjacent highways than by a limited number of children in the play area. The desirability of incorporating uses in addition to the place of religious assembly and day nursery was also raised at the Public Meeting. Staff are proposing a number of additional commercial uses in order to increase the usability of the westerly building on the site. Staff has taken the observations of the parking study submitted with the application into consideration in evaluating a number of potential uses for the site and are recommending uses that are not only compatible with the place of religious assembly and day nursery uses, but also generate a parking demand that can be accommodated by existing parking on the site. Staff are of the opinion that the currently permitted vehicle sales or rental establishment, vehicle repair shop, and restaurant-type A uses are not appropriate in combination with the proposed new uses due to potential traffic, parking and compatibility concerns. These uses are recommended to be deleted in the zoning by-law amendment. 3.3 Access, on-site circulation and parking appear adequate but need to be confirmed The primary access to the site will continue to be from the full-moves access from Kingston Road, located at the western limit of the property. A secondary vehicle access from Merritton Road along the northern boundary of the site will also be provided. Merritton Road intersects with Kingston Road approximately 100 metres to the west of the site's primary access location. A parking study undertaken by Poulos and Chung Ltd, submitted in support of the subject application, indicates that the number of parking spaces on the subject lands are sufficient to accommodate the proposed place of religious assembly in the easterly building, as well as the proposed day nursery and commercial uses in the westerly building. The parking study indicates that a total of 288 spaces are available on the site. However, staff note that 20 of these parking spaces in the southeast portion of the property are on public property and therefore cannot be included as required parking. In addition, it is estimated that six to eight existing parking spaces could be replaced by the required outdoor play area for a day nursery use, resulting in a net supply of 260 existing parking spaces. A maximum of 125 parking spaces are required for the place of religious assembly use in the easterly building, based on a maximum occupancy of 500 persons for the place of religious assembly, and the standard rate of 1 space per 4 persons as required in the parent zoning by-law. Report PD 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. (A 10/10) Page 6 Given the above, of the total, number of existing spaces, 135 spaces are available for uses in the westerly building which has a total gross floor area of 1,170 square metres. The parking study assumes that 15 spaces would be required by a 465 square metre daycare centre. Therefore 120 spaces would be available to the remaining 705 square metres of gross floor area in the westerly building, which is sufficient for the proposed uses. In addition, peak parking demand times for the place of religious assembly use in the easterly building and the non-church related uses in the westerly building are not likely to coincide. As a portion of the parking area on the site is an elevated gravel parking area previously used by the car dealership for the storage and display of cars, a site plan will be required, to confirm the number of parking spaces, and accessibility of the spaces. As mentioned previously, a small portion of the parking lot (about 20 spaces and associated drive aisle) in the south-easterly portion of the site is on public lands. Prior to site plan approval, the applicant will be required to obtain an encroachment agreement or easement for the lands, or acquire the lands. 3.4 A separate open space zone category for Dunbarton Creek is required TRCA requires, a conservation zone for the portion of the Dunbarton Creek that crosses the eastern portion of the subject lands. The boundaries of a conservation zone have been established to the satisfaction of the TRCA and incorporated into the draft by-law amendment schedule. 3.5 CN Rail easement, fence requirement, set back and berm recommendations For purposes of determining the need for safety, noise and vibration mitigation measures, CN considers the proposed place of religious assembly and day care uses to be sensitive uses within an industrial and commercial land use category. They strongly recommend that mitigation measures be considered when converting from the existing commercial use to a place of religious assembly. The recommended mitigation measures which apply to this site include a building setback of 30 metres from the railway right-of-way and a 2.5 metre berm (for principal main lines) within, that setback distance. The easterly building is situated approximately 25 metres south of the railway right-of-way. The westerly building is situated approximately 71 metres south of the railway right-of-way. As mentioned previously, staff are recommending that the day nursery be restricted to the westerly building which is located more than double the recommended setback distance from the railway right-of-way. The attached draft by-law incorporates a provision limiting the day nursery uses to the westerly building. Report PD 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd. (A 10/10) Page 7 73 It is not possible to accommodate the full 30 metre setback and 2.5 metre high berm for the existing easterly building. Although the proposed church is also considered a sensitive use, it will be used for periods of relatively short duration and relatively infrequently through the week. It is considered to pose less of a risk than other uses proposed on the site. The noise and vibration generated by a passing train might occasionally disrupt gatherings in the facility. The applicant can consider interior noise attenuation measures to mitigate the severity of the disturbance. In addition, CN Rail requests that an environmental easement in favour of CN Rail be registered on title to reduce the possibility of future noise complaints, and that a 1.8 metre high chain link fence be installed along the limit of the railway right-of-way abutting the subject lands. The applicant has indicated a willingness to register such an easement on title to the property, and to install the fence. These requirements can be met as part of site plan approval. 3.6 No remediation requirements were identified in the Phase II Environmental Site Investigation The Phase II Environmental Site Assessment concludes that the subject site complies with the Ministry of the Environment standards. In accordance with the Region's requirements, the applicant has submitted the Record of Site Condition to the Ministry of the Environment for filing. A "(H)"Holding provision is required on the zoning until confirmation of filing has been received from the Ministry of the Environment. 3.7 Draft Zoning By-law amendment restricts place of religious assembly to the easterly building, day nursery use to westerly building In accordance with staff and agency requirements noted above, the draft by-law amendment attached as Appendix I provides for the following: a) A place of religious assembly use in the existing easterly building (maximum total gross floor area of 1,075 square metres). b) Uses accessory to a place of religious assembly, one day nursery (maximum gross floor area of 465 square metres), one commercial school, financial institutions, business offices and professional offices within the existing westerly building. c) Deletion of restaurant-type A, vehicle repair shop, and vehicle sales or rental establishments. d) A minimum number of 260 parking spaces. e) An open space zone for the easterly portion of the site. f) A "(H)" Holding provision for all of the uses subject to the filing of a Record of Site Condition with the Ministry of the Environment. It is recommended that the attached draft by-law be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. Report PD 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Gazarek Realty Holdings Ltd.

We understand that no new structures or grading are proposed to accommodate the proposed new uses. Environmental Setting The Dunbarton Creek, which is a tributary to Frenchman's Bay, and its associated valleylands traverse the eastern limit of the subject lands. Accordingly, an area within the eastern portion of the lands is located within a TRCA Regulated Area pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06. No development, including erection of structures or grading may take place within the Regulated Area in the absence of a TRCA permit. Recommendation We have no objection to the application subject to the following: 1. That the-amendment contain provisions to zone the portions of the subject lands within the Dunbarton Creek valleylands within the 'Natural Areas' or other appropriate environmental zoning category to recognize the presence of the creek and the associated natural hazards such as flooding and erosion.

The tenacity of CN s position on industrial and commercial applications has been relaxed somewhat over the last several years or so, and while the requirements for residential continue to be stringently implemented, those for industrial and commercial uses with no sensitive use component, have been considered more as recommendations, rather than requirements, and CN generally leaves it up to the proponent and municipality to consider the potential for any impacts to the proposed use from being located near an active railway line, and whether any attenuation measures are warranted or desirable and the extent to which they are implemented. CN will not challenge the extent to which the recommendations are considered (or not) by the municipality, except for issues of fencing, drainage and access in proximity to at-grade crossings. A church and day nursery would be considered a sensitive use, and it is strongly recommended the various mitigation measures be considered when converting from the existing commercial use to a place of religious assembly, to help reduce the potential for incompatibility, given the proximity of our freight corridor. For this reason, we are also requesting the attached environmental easement be registered on title in favour of the railway to help forestall the future potential for noise complaints.

If not feasible, restricted directional access designed to prevent traffic congestion from fouling the crossing may be a suitable alternative. ■ A chain link fence of minimum 1.83 metre height is required to be installed and maintained along the mutual property line. ■ Any proposed alterations to the existing drainage pattern affecting Railway property require prior concurrence from the Railway and be substantiated by a drainage report to the satisfaction of the Railway. ■ While CN has no noise and vibration guidelines that are applicable to non-residential uses, it is recommended the proponent assess whether railway noise and vibration could adversely impact the future use being contemplated (hotel, laboratory, precision manufacturing). It may be desirable to retain a qualified acoustic consultant to undertake an analysis of noise and vibration, and make recommendations for mitigation to reduce the potential for any adverse impact on future use of the property. ■ There are no applicable noise, vibration and safety measures for unoccupied buildings, but chain link fencing, access and drainage requirements would still apply. 2008 cis, Report to Planning & Development Committee I KERIN Report Number: PD 11-11 Date: April 11; 2011 97 From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 8/10 P. Albanese 1448 Rougemount Drive Part of Lot 16, Plan 228 City of Pickering Recommendation: 1. That Report PD 11-11 of the Director, Planning & Development be received; 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 8/10 submitted by Pietro Albanese to amend the zoning of the subject property to an "R4" - Fourth Density Residential zone to permit the creation of two lots with minimum frontage of 15.0 metres on lands being Part of Lot 16, Plan 228, City of Pickering be approved; and 3. Further, that the draft zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 8/10, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 11-11, be forwarded to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The application proposes to amend the existing "R3" Residential zoning which requires a minimum lot frontage of 18.0 metres to an "R4" Residential zoning in order to facilitate a future severance application to create two residential lots with a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres on Rougemount Drive. The subject property currently supports a detached dwelling (see Location Map and Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachments #1 & #2). The recommended zoning for this application will establish performance standards for the subject lands which will permit the development of two lots that are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and conform to the Pickering Official Plan. The proposed by-law contains requirements that will allow the development of one additional detached dwelling with appropriate performance standards to ensure compatibility of any future development. It is recommended that this application be approved and the draft by-law amendment be forwarded to Council for enactment. i Report PD 11-11 April 11, 2011 Suub* ct: Zoning By-law Amendment Application (A 8/10) Page 2 ' $ Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed recommendation. Sustainability Implications: Staff's review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Given the small scope of the application and the infill nature of the project, there is limited opportunity to achieve a Level 1. The proposed development will take advantage of the existing infrastructure and services within the City's urban area. The applicant intends to preserve and/or relocate existing vegetation on the property to the greatest extent possible, and to undertake remedial planting. Further opportunities exist for the builder to consider sustainable options in the construction process. 1.0 Background: The application proposes to amend the existing "R3" Residential zoning which requires a minimum lot frontage of 18.0 metres to an "R4" Residential zoning in order to facilitate a future severance application to create two residential lots with a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres on Rougemount Drive. The southerly portion of the subject property currently supports a detached dwelling, which is intended to remain. 2.0 Comments Received: Following the release of the Information Report, a letter was received from a neighbouring resident who expressed concerns with the character of the proposed dwelling, and potential decreased property values caused by the proposed development (see Attachment #5). 2.1 At the January 4 2011 Public Information Meeting (see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #3 & #4) No members of the public spoke in respect to this application. 2.2 Following the Public Information Meeting No letters were submitted by the public in respect to this application. 2.3 Agency Comments Durham Region - there are no matters of provincial interest Planning Department applicable to this application - municipal water and sanitary sewer services are available to the subject property Report PD 11-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application (A 8/10) Page 3 99 Durham Region - proposal does not present any significant Planning Department Durham Region Transit or transportation impacts (continued) (see Attachment #6) Engineering Services - extensive traffic calming measures are imposed Division on this section of'Rougemount Drive - heavy auto and pedestrian traffic from Elizabeth B. Phin Public School is anticipated during the morning and afternoon peak hours - the existing north driveway access intended to service the new lot is surrounded by dense vegetation which may be an issue of pedestrian safety; proper sight lines should be maintained (see Attachment #7) Veridian Connections - no objection 3.0 Discussion: 3.1 The proposed development is appropriate and compatible with existing development The proposed 15.0 metre lots are generally consistent with the development pattern along the northerly portion of Rougemount Drive. Lot frontages in the area range from approximately 15 metres to 38 metres (see Lot Frontages on Rougemount Drive - Attachment #8). Most of the 15 metre lots throughout the neighbourhood are either existing lots of record or have been created through land division and rezoning applications. Staff recommends that an "R4" Zone consistent with previously approved "R4" zones along Rougemount Drive be implemented. These zones contain performance standards that resulted from the Rougemount Drive North Study in 1988 including a minimum front yard depth of 15.0 metres, maximum dwelling height of 9.0 metres, accessory structure provisions and maximum garage projection of 2.0 metres (see Appendix 1). Notwithstanding these provisions, the existing variance for the existing dwelling on the southerly lot, which is to be retained, is recommended to be reflected in the zoning by-law. This variance recognizes a minimum front yard depth of 13.0 metres to the existing building and 12.0 metres to uncovered front steps. The applicant has requested a 1.2 metre north side yard width and a 1.8 metre south side yard width for the proposed northerly severed parcel, whereas the standard side yard width for "R4" zoning is 1.5 metres on both sides (where a garage is attached to the dwelling). The purpose of the enlarged southerly side yard width is to provide easier access into the rear yard. This request is not supported as a side yard width greater than 1.5 metres can be achieved through the appropriate design of the future dwelling without creating a new side yard standard for the "R4" zone. Report PD 11-11 April 11, 2011 I Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application (A 8/10) Page 4 100 With respect to the concern from a neighbouring resident about the new dwellings not fitting in with the character of the area, the proposed zoning provisions will ensure the building envelope of the new building on the northerly lot is consistent with neighbouring lots. Additional design elements, not regulated by the zoning by-law, can be included in the revised Architectural Design Statement. 3.2 All Development matters will be addressed during the Land Division Application process An acceptable Architectural Design Statement, a Tree Inventory & Preservation Plan, and Preliminary Grading Plan will be required at the Land Division stage. Any additional development matters will also be dealt with through the land division application process or through standard City procedures To address comments made by Engineering Services (see Attachment #7), it is recommended that any existing vegetation on the proposed northerly lot that negatively impacts proper sight lines and safe pedestrian movement be removed and opportunities for replacement elsewhere on the property be investigated. This matter will also be addressed through the Land Division Application process. 3.3 By-law to be forwarded to Council The draft zoning by-law attached as Appendix I to this report implements staff's recommendation to approve the zoning amendment application. It is recommended that the draft by-law be finalized and forwarded to Council. 4.0 Applicant's Comments The proper ty owner concurs with the recommendations of this Report.

Subdividing the lot would create a lot size that is far below the average for this street; a street which is well known for its esthetic appeal. The current dwelling, which is still under construction, is situated at the edge of the lot which seems to suggest an almost devious intent to try and compel the city to divide the lot. The very long and narrow configuration of the house is more commercial than residential in its form and is dramatically at odds with the character of the neighborhood. To add a second one on a reduced size lot would be extremely offensive and could only serve'to reduce the appeal of the street. and the value of existing properties. Given the care and attention that existing residents have historically displayed in their renovation and building efforts, I hope that you will disallow the requested amendment. Respectfully, I would very much appreciate your response on this matter. Thank you in advance for considering my comments. Sincerely, Dan Raue 1459 Rougemount Drive 1 ATTACHMENT#___.

Our comments related to the impacts of proposed driveway accesses for both applications include the following: • 1448 Rougemount. Drive: Rougemount Drive is a north-south two lane collector road with posted speed limit of 40 kmph. Extensive traffic calming measures are imposed on this section of the road. Additionally, proposed property is in the vicinity of the public school. Due to its close proximity to the school, heavy auto and pedestrian traffic is anticipated during morning and afternoon peak hours. The proposed 2nd (north) driveway access is surrounded by dense vegetation and therefore there may be an issue of pedestrian safety. Proper sight lines should always be maintained for the safe and efficient pedestrian movement. • 1975 Guild Road: Guild Road is a north-south two lane local road with posted speed limit of 40 kmph. The available traffic data suggest that the traffic volume on this section of the road is very low therefore proposed 2nd (South) driveway will not have significant impact on traffic safety and operation. Trusting that above is satisfactory, should you have any questions/concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

Cery Report To Planning & Development Committee PICKERING Report Number: PD 12-11 Date: April 11, 2011 119 From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development Subject: Downtown Intensification Program Proposed Work Plan to Confirm and Implement a Council Vision for Downtown Pickering File: D-2000-014 Recommendation: 1. That Report PD 12-11 of the Director, Planning & Development, outlining a Downtown Intensification Program to confirm and implement a Council vision for Downtown Pickering, be received for information; 2. That Council authorize staff to proceed with the Work Plan for the Downtown Intensification Program attached as Appendix II to Report PD 12-11, and 3. Further, that Council authorize staff to prepare terms of reference and issue request for proposals for required studies, and report back to Council regarding the hiring of consultants in accordance with the City's purchasing policy. Executive Summary: A number of major infrastructure and development initiatives are underway in Pickering's Downtown which have raised the City's profile in Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area. These include the construction of a, new office tower/parking structure on the north side of Highway 401, a new GO terminal building and proposed parking structure on the south side of Highway 401, and a pedestrian bridge spanning Highway 401 linking the GO station with the office tower. These initiatives will act as a catalyst for attracting additional development that will help transform the Downtown into the vibrant urban centre as envisioned in the Official Plan and the Provincial Growth Plan. This report outlines a Downtown Intensification Program to direct new development in the Downtown. The Program is based on the principles of sustainable placemaking, and involves City staff from across the corporation. The main components of the Program are ensuring the appropriate land use framework is in place, working with senior levels of government and utilities to ensure required infrastructure is in place, and working with downtown landowners and potential investors to attract desirable development. The land use framework component of the Program will feed into the more comprehensive Growth Strategy Program work currently underway. Report PD 12-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Proposed Work Program to Confirm and 120 Implement a Council Vision for Downtown Pickering Page 2 It is recommended that Council authorize staff to undertake the work plan for the Downtown Intensification Program as outlined in Appendix II and to issue terms of reference for required studies. Financial Implications: Appendix II proposes a work plan that provides for . consultants to be retained to undertake various technical studies to support the Downtown Intensification Program. The number and scope of required studies will be confirmed as work proceeds. The 2011 budget, as recommended by Committee, provides for an upset limit of $250,000 in the Planning & Development Professional & Consulting line item (Account 2611.2393.0000) for studies related to the land use framework component of the work plan. The budget provides for 50% of the $250,000 to be funded by the City and 50% to be funded by benefitting landowners. It is recommended that Council authorize staff to prepare terms of reference and issue requests for proposals for required studies, and report back to Council regarding the hiring of consultants in accordance with the City's purchasing policy. Sustainability Implications: The development and implementation of a vision for Downtown Pickering will be based on the principles of sustainable placemaking - the transformation of the municipality from a suburban community to a sustainable city. The vision for Downtown will include a more compact and liveable community, where priority is placed on pedestrians rather than cars, new energy sources are encouraged and infrastructure is efficiently used, and where cultural and natural heritage resources are protected. 1.0 Background: 1.1 Recent Infrastructure and Development Projects in Downtown Pickering have raised Pickering's profile A number of major infrastructure and development initiatives are underway in Pickering's Downtown which have raised the City's profile in Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area. Among these initiatives are: • improvements to the GO Transit system, including a new terminal building on the south side of Highway 401, a new parking structure on the north side of Highway 401, and a pedestrian bridge linking the two sites • a proposed GO parking structure on the south side of Highway 401 • plans for a 'transit hub' for Durham Region Transit buses at the north end of the pedestrian bridge on Pickering Parkway • funding for early phases of the Kingston Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system I Report PD 12-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Proposed Work Program to Confirm and 121 Implement a Council Vision for Downtown Pickering Page 3 Recent development activity includes: • a 10-storey office tower on Pickering Parkway, currently nearing completion; this building connects directly to the pedestrian bridge and north GO parking structure • an application for a new financial office building at the intersection of Liverpool Road and Pickering Parkway • construction of a 6-storey retirement facility at Glengrove Road and Kingston Road • ongoing discussions with the landowner at the Valley Farm Road / Kingston Road intersection for high density mixed use development • ongoing discussions with landowners south of Highway 401, who have also expressed interest in developing their lands; preliminary design work has been undertaken to this end • work has also been undertaken to advance the development of a performing arts centre in the Downtown These initiatives will act as a catalyst for attracting additional development that will help transform the Downtown into the vibrant urban centre envisioned in the Official Plan and in the Provincial Growth Plan. This report outlines a Downtown Intensification Program to ensure that the City is prepared to receive and attract this future development. 2.0 Downtown Intensification Program The Downtown Intensification Program will help make the Downtown `development ready' and allow the City to attract and approve desirable development. It will be based on the principles of sustainable placemaking, and will involve City staff from across the corporation in consultation with the Region and provincial bodies such as GO Transit/Metrolinx and the major utilities. A work plan for the Downtown Intensification Program is outlined in Appendix II to this Report. The three main components of the program are: • ensuring the appropriate land use framework is in place • working with senior levels of government and utilities to provide required infrastructure • working with downtown landowners and potential investors to attract desirable development to the downtown Report PD 12-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Proposed Work Program to Confirm and 122 Implement a Council Vision for Downtown Pickering Page 4 2.1 Ensuring an appropriate Land Use Framework is in place A large component of the Downtown Intensification Program involves ensuring that the appropriate land use framework is in place. The current Downtown boundary and policies in the Official Plan need to be updated to reflect the identification of Downtown Pickering as an 'Urban Growth Centre' (UGC) in the Provincial Growth Plan. The Growth Plan identifies the boundary of the UGC as well as minimum densities required to be achieved within the UGC. In addition to the Downtown lands north of Highway 401, the UGC boundaries include the lands south of Highway 401 to Bayly Street, east of Liverpool Road (referred to as Downtown South). Minimum densities of 200 persons and jobs per hectare are prescribed by the Growth Plan within the UGC. Work on updating the Official Plan policies has already begun as part of the Growth Strategy Program component of the Official Plan Review. Previous visioning work produced a Downtown Demonstration Plan (which has been updated to reflect recent development projects) which is attached as Appendix I. The Demonstration Plan will be used as a starting point for the development of a downtown vision, that when finalized will be translated into Official Plan policies and design guidelines. The work program for this component of the Downtown Intensification Program, as outlined in Appendix II, includes; • confirmation of the vision - i.e., the built form, uses, density and height that is appropriate for Downtown including the completion of required technical studies (e.g. transportation, sanitary, water and stormwater services) • ensuring consistency with the requirements of the Growth Plan and the . Region's conformity amendment (ROPA 128) • public and landowner consultation • Council adoption of Official Plan policies, design guidelines and zoning strategy 2.2 Working with senior levels of government and utilities to provide required infrastructure The development of the Downtown requires not only the appropriate land use framework but also the appropriate infrastructure. A high level of transit service must be provided. GO rail service and the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on Kingston Road provide essential rapid transit alternatives to automobile transportation and continued funding for improvements to these services from senior levels of government is critical. City staff are currently involved in the Region's Environmental Assessment (EA) for the first phase of the Kingston Road BRT. The EA is being undertaken for intersection improvements at Whites Road, Liverpool Road and Brock Road, which are part of the Metrolinx 'Quick Win' program. City staff will actively participate in the EA process to ensure that the Downtown vision is reflected throughout the process. Report PD 12-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Proposed Work Program to Confirm and 123 Implement a Council Vision for Downtown Pickering Page 5 In addition to transit, ongoing collaboration with the Region for infrastructure improvements is required as the Region will be instrumental in providing the road network and servicing infrastructure required to support the Downtown. The City has also been in discussions with the Province to secure a full Highway 401 interchange at Liverpool Road. City staff have also initiated discussions with Veridian and will initiate same with j telecommunications providers to ensure that hydro and state of the art telecommunications technology (e.g., fibre optics) are available to serve future development. Staff will also continue to explore and promote the potential for district heating in the Downtown. i 2.3 Working with Downtown Landowners and Potential Investors to attract desirable development The third. component of the Program is to understand the needs of downtown landowners and investors for residential and employment uses, as well as arts and entertainment facilities, and continue to provide economic development support for downtown investment, through: • preparation of feasibility studies and marketing and investment packages • staff engagement of service providers and developers to attract downtown amenities such as hotel, entertainment and restaurant uses 3.0 Conclusion: It is recommended that Council receive this report and authorize staff to undertake the work plan for the Downtown Intensification Program as outlined in Appendix II.

That Report CAO 07-11 of the Chief Administrative Officer be received; 2. That the Draft By-law to amend By-law 6835/08 Records Management for the City of Pickering, included as Attachment #1 to this Report, be approved; and 3. That the City Clerk forward the approved by-law to the City's Auditors, Deloitte and Touche LLP, for certification. Executive Summary: As part of the regular review process, the Records Retention By-law has been updated as deemed necessary based on administrative and legislative requirements. The City Clerk determines the appropriate classification and destruction date of records, taking into account legal, financial, administrative, operational and historical values of each record. Financial Implications: There are no financial implications. Sustainability Implications: An effective records retention program allows the City to destroy records that are no longer useful to the City, and sustain vital records for future stakeholders. Background: On February 19, 2008, City Council approved By-law 6835/08, a by-law to establish retention periods for records of the Corporation of the City of Pickering. As Departments have now been working with the current schedule for two years, it is timely to review the Corporate Records Retention Schedule to ensure it. continues to reflect the ongoing needs of each Department. Departments were canvassed for their input, and the following recommendations have been made.

David Ryan, Mayor Debbie Shields, City Clerk cis Report To ' Executive Committee ICKERIN Report Number: CS 10-11 Date: April 11, 2011 134 From: Everett Buntsma Director, Community Services Subject: Municipal Bridge Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions - By-law to establish a load limit for certain bridges under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering - File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That Report CS 10-11 of the Director, Community Services regarding the establishment of safe load limits on municipal bridges be received; and 2. That the attached Draft By-law limiting the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle or any class thereof, passing over certain bridges, under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering be enacted. Executive Summary: The Highway Traffic Act and Ontario Regulation 104197 Standards for Bridges require that every bridge and/or structure be kept safe and in good repair through periodic inspections under the direction of a Professional Engineer and in accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual, or equivalent. Further, The Highway Traffic Act establishes that municipalities "having jurisdiction over a bridge may by by-law limit the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle or any class thereof passing over the bridge". The City of Pickering retains a qualified bridge inspection firm to perform regular bridge inspections every two years. As a result of flooding that impacted the Hamlet of Whitevale on July 23, 2008, a review and evaluation of the Whitevale Road bridge over West Duffins Creek determined a need to carry out structural improvements and to reduce the maximum weight load to 15 tonnes on that structure (due to non-flood related structural deficiencies). Based on these observations, structural improvements were carried out and the parent by-law (By-law 6753/07) was amended by By-law 6903/08. In 2010, the City of Pickering retained Keystone Bridge Management Corporation to perform the required inspection on the City's 66 bridges and culverts with a span of 3.0 metres or over. As a result of the inspections, four bridge structures that are currently subject to gross vehicle weight limits and two, additional bridge structures require a new load limit by-law. Report CS 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Municipal Bridge Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions By-law to establish a load limit for certain bridges under the 135 jurisdiction of the City of Pickering Page 2 Subject to the above, staff hereby present a proposed by-law which identifies the new established maximum weight load limits on certain bridges under the jurisdiction of the City and which repeals the previously established associated by-laws. Financial Implications: The financial implications associated with the works include an additional cost of $5,400.00 for Keystone Bridge Management Inc. to inspect and re- affirm proposed load limits at each location and certify the by-law and $200.00 for the installation of signs on additional structures. This additional cost will be charged to 2320 Roads current account. In order to remove the. bridge load limits, future expenditures will be required to rectify structural deficiencies and to bring the bridges up to current code requirements. Sustainability Implications: The changes proposed by staff are relevant to the social lens of sustainability by addressing municipal compliance with legislative requirements, public safety and traffic operations.and their impact on municipal infrastructure management and preservation. Background: In October of 2008, staff presented report OES 31-08 to the Executive Committee. The report, as adopted by the Committee and approved by Council: • identified the maximum vehicle load limits established on four bridges as a result of the inspections on all bridges currently under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering • presented for Council endorsement, the draft by-law necessary for bridge load designations • established the necessary schedules for signature by two Professional Engineers certifying the safe load limits and the duration for which the limits apply As a result of the recent reinspection of the Whitevale Road bridge in November, 2010 there is a need to reduce the maximum vehicular weight capacity of the structure from 15 tonnes to 10 tonnes and amend the municipal bridge load By-law 6753/07. A further recommendation to temporarily reduce the bridge to one lane of traffic has been implemented through the placement of delineators and appropriate signage. A copy of bridge site location maps, the draft amending bylaw and revised Schedule "A", which identifies all structures to which the by-law applies, are attached. Report CS 10-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Municipal Bridge Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Restrictions 136 By-law to establish a load limit for certain bridges under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering Page 3 If passed by Council, a completed applicable Schedule "B" will be signed and sealed by two professional engineers from Keystone Bridge Management Corporation and will form part of the new by-law..

Whereas, pursuant to Section 123 (2) of the Highway Traffic Act R.S.O. 1990 c.H.8, as amended, the municipal corporation or other authority having jurisdiction over a bridge may by by-law, limit the gross vehicle weight of any vehicle or class thereof passing over the bridge. Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as follows: 1. In this by-law "gross vehicle weight" means the total weight in tonnes transmitted to the highway by a vehicle or combination of vehicles and load. 2. No vehicle or combination of vehicles or any class thereof, whether empty or loaded, shall be operated over those bridges as set out in Column 1 and Column 2 of Schedule A to this by-law where the gross weight exceeds that set out in Column 3 of Schedule A to this by-law. 3. This by-law shall not become effective until a notice of the maximum limit of gross vehicle weight permitted, legibly printed, has been posted in a conspicuous place at each end of the bridge. . 4.

Dated City Report To Executive Committee PICKERING Report Number: CS 16-11 145- Date: April 11, 2011 From: Everett Buntsma Director, Community Services Subject: Boyne Court - Sidewalk Removal & Driveway Restoration File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That Report CS 16-11 of the Director, Community Services regarding the sidewalk removal and driveway restoration on Boyne Court be received; 2. That Council approve staff's recommendation to arrange for the removal of the existing sidewalk and undertake driveway and boulevard restoration for the residents on Boyne Court, subject to the condition that residents directly benefitting from the alterations incur 100% of the costs; 3. That Council direct staff to respond to the residents indicating the results of Council's decision; and 4. That the appropriate staff of the City of Pickering. be given authority to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: As a result of concerns from residents on Boyne Court regarding insufficient on-street and off-street parking, Council received a petition to consider and approve the removal of the existing sidewalk on the west side of Boyne Court, thereby, providing additional driveway parking. On January 17, 2011, Connie Brickles, 1504 Boyne Court, addressed City Council recommending that this matter be given due consideration. At that meeting, Council received the petition (Correspondence 04-11) and under Council Resolution #07/11 directed the Director, Community Services to report back to Council on the matter. Based on the lowest quotation received through IFQ-16-2011, the estimated cost of the work is $11,193.60 (including net HST) of which the five benefitting property owners would be, responsible for 100% of the cost.. Staff have contacted the property owners and advised them of the cost for the work. On March 22, 2011, one of the property owners (on behalf of the group) advised the City that they are in favour of the proposal and that they are willing to cover 100% of the costs. Staff recommends this project to move forward on the condition that those residents benefitting from the alterations incur 100% of the costs. Report CS 16-11 April 11, 2011 Subject: Boyne Court - Sidewalk Removal & Driveway Restoration 146 Page 2 Financial Implications: Pricing for Boyne Court - Sidewalk Removal & Driveway Restoration is $11,193.60 (including net HST) based on the lowest quotation received. The cost to be incurred by the benefitting property owners is 100% of the cost. No costs for this project are anticipated to be incurred by the City, other than administration of the contract to undertake the works. Sustainability Implications: The implementation of the recommendation within this report impacts the social lenses of sustainability given it has the potential to impact traffic operations and provide for additional off-street parking. Background: City staff have received written correspondence from property owners on the west side of Boyne Court regarding concerns over the lack of on-street and off-street parking. Correspondence 04-11 was forwarded to the City Council meeting held on January 17, 2011 which resulted in Council Resolution #07/11 referring the item to the Director, Community Services to report. Staff have since investigated their concerns and concurs that due to the geometric design and the number of residential driveways adjacent to the roadway there is very little provision for on-street parking. Boyne Court was constructed in 1987 and is 97.5 metres in length with 17 properties fronting the road. The street has an existing concrete sidewalk located on the west side across five properties, which only leads to the cul-de-sac at the north limit of the street. The residents have requested that the sidewalk be removed and the boulevard restored which would provide longer driveways and more off-street parking spaces. Planning & Development Department staff were consulted and have advised that during the planning stage of a subdivision, sidewalks are considered in order to provide safe pedestrian access to amenities for-the, greater good of the community. In this particular case, if the sidewalk is removed on Boyne Court the only other pedestrian. access would be to use the roadway on Boyne Court. Engineering Services staff reviewed the request and have identified that, although the sidewalk in question fronts five residential properties, only four of the five properties were identified in the correspondence. City staff are not in support of leaving one section of sidewalk fronting 1500 Boyne Court with no appropriate termination point. This information has been presented to the residents and they have responded indicating they are in support of removing the sidewalk across all five affected properties at a total estimated cost of $11,193.60 (including net HST). In order to proceed with this request, the residents would have to provide the City's Corporate Services Department with full payment in the amount of $11,193.60. Once the payment is received, staff will make arrangements to have the works commence shortly thereafter through approval of IFQ-16-2011. Staff recommend this project to move forward on the condition that those residents benefitting from the alterations incur 100% of the costs.

That Report CS 19-11 of the Director, Community Services regarding a proposed amendment to the municipal traffic by-law 6604/05 and relocation of a pedestrian access on Rayleen Crescent be received; and 2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2" to By-law 6604/05 to provide for the regulation of parking on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering; and 3. That relocation of the pedestrian access to Brock Road currently mid-block on Rayleen Crescent to a location further north on Rayleen Crescent be approved and staff be given the authority to undertake the necessary work. Executive Summary: In response to concerns brought to Engineering Services staffs attention, staff investigated concerns regarding roadway safety and traffic operations on portions of Rayleen Crescent, Beaton Way, and Shay Drive, specifically with respect to on-street parking, driveway entry and exit, vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and larger vehicle access. Based on the investigation and community consultation, staff propose parking restrictions on a portion of Rayleen Crescent and relocation of the pedestrian access to Brock Road currently mid-block on Rayleen Crescent to a location further north on Rayleen Crescent. Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no parking signs can be accommodated within the Roads Current budget. The relocation of the pedestrian access to Brock Road would cost approximately $3,700 and would be completed by City of Pickering staff. Report CS 19-11 April 11, 2011 150 Subject: No Parking By-law, Rayleen Crescent Page 2 Pedestrian Access Relocation, Rayleen Crescent Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented and the recommendations, as generated by staff, address traffic safety issues within the Corporate Healthy society objectives. Background: In September 2010, Engineering Services staff from the City of Pickering investigated concerns brought to our attention regarding roadway safety and traffic operations on portions of Rayleen Crescent, Beaton Way, and Shay Drive, specifically with respect to on-street parking, driveway entry and exit, vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and larger vehicle access. Rayleen Crescent, Beaton Way and Shay Drive are all local residential roadways with on-street parking permitted on both sides of the street. Based on the investigation, staff proposed parking restrictions on portions of Rayleen Crescent, Beaton Way and Shay Drive and issued a municipal community consultation notice on October 15, 2010 to the area residents. The notice asked residents whether they were in support of parking restrictions on these roadways or not. The consultation generated ten replies, four of which were in support of the implementation of parking restrictions on all roadways, one in support of parking restrictions on Rayleen Crescent only, and five replies that were against all parking restrictions. Those that were opposed to parking restrictions felt there was no need to have these restrictions since the majority of traffic congestion occurs when the Pickering Islamic Centre (P IC), located at 2065 Brock Road, has service for its members. The PIC's service usually occurs on Friday afternoons, with PIC's members using the residential streets to park anywhere between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm, which also happens to coincide with waste collection times for Rayleen Crescent (see Attachment 1). It should be noted that all responses except for one were from residents on Rayleen Crescent. Therefore, the majority of residents on Beaton Way and Shay Drive see this as an insignificant issue. The community consultation notice also asked residents about a proposal to relocate the pedestrian access to Brock Road currently located mid-block on Rayleen Crescent to a point further north towards the bend in Rayleen Crescent. Staff anticipates that with this move, pedestrians that want to cross Brock Road will walk to Major Oaks Drive and cross the roadway at the traffic signal. Of the ten replies received, six are in support of the access relocation, one is in support of an additional crosswalk across Brock Road, and three are against the access relocation. A pedestrian crosswalk across Brock Road, a Type A arterial roadway, is not ideal for many reasons. These reasons include the high vehicular traffic volume and speed on Brock Road; conflicts that may occur including increased potential for rear-end type collisions, and the close proximity of the traffic signal at Major Oaks Drive, which would not provide sufficient spacing to warrant a pedestrian signal or crosswalk. The Pickering Islamic Centre has not responded to the community consultation notice, however, parking instructions located on their website instructs people to park along the 5 port CS 19-11 April 11, 2011 11 Subject: No Parking By-law, Rayleen Crescent Page 3 Pedestrian Access Relocation, Rayleen Crescent east side of Rayleen Crescent and to not block any residential driveways. An Engineering Services staff review of the area confirmed that although most patrons park along the east side, there are a few vehicles that park on the west side as well: In recognition of the community comments received and City staff's review, Engineering Services staff recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to restrict parking on the west side of Rayleen Crescent only, which is the most problematic roadway, especially during the PIC's service. The parking restrictions would be Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Also, the City recommends the relocation of the pedestrian access to Brock Road currently located mid-block on Rayleen Crescent to a point further north towards the bend in Rayleen Crescent. The proposed parking restrictions on Rayleen Crescent and the pedestrian walkway relocation can be found graphically on the attached sketch (Attachment 2). Attachments 1.
