3.0 Official Plan and Zoning
3.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
• the Regional Official Plan designates the subject property "Urban System -
Regional Corridor and Living Area"
• "Regional Corridors" are to be planned and developed as mixed use areas,
including residential, commercial and service areas with higher densities and
achieving a mix of commercial, residential, employment and institutional uses
while supporting higher order transit services and pedestrian oriented
development
• Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128 (ROPA 128), which implements
the Provincial Growth Plan, contains provisions that require significantly
higher densities for identified portions of Regional Corridors (including Brock
Road in this location); the amendment is currently under appeal
3.2 Pickering Official Plan
• the subject lands are within the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood of the Official
Plan and are designated "Urban Residential Area - Medium Density Area"
and "Open Space System - Natural Areas"
• the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood policies encourage a variety of housing
forms and the plan shows new road connections, an elementary school and a
park in the vicinity of the subject lands
• the "Urban Residential Area - Medium Density Area" designation is intended
primarily for residential uses and provides for the proposed detached, semi-
detached and townhouse dwelling units as well as other built forms such as
stacked townhouses and apartment buildings, at a density of over 30 units up
to and including 80 units per net hectare
• the proposed development would provide a net maximum site density of
approximately 42 units per hectare
• lands designated "Open Space System - Natural Areas" are intended to be
used primarily for conservation, environmental protection and education,
restoration, and passive recreation
• Schedule II - Transportation Systems designates Brock Road where it abuts
the subject lands as a "Type A - Arterial Road" and a "Transit Spine" and
designates the proposed Street A as a "Collector Road"
• Transit Spines are recognized corridors where higher level of transit service is
to be encouraged
• the subject property is subject to the Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines
3.3 Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines
• the Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines provide direction for detailed
land use, transportation network, community design objectives and servicing
arrangements for the precinct
• the subject property is delineated as Development Areas 3 and 4 on the Tertiary
Plan (Duffins Precinct Tertiary Plan - Attachment #3 )
Information Report No. 02-12 Page 3
03
• Area 3 representing the Brock Road frontage requires application of innovative
architectural designs and effective urban design to humanize the street, mitigate
the effects of traffic, and present an attractive frontage along Brock Road; three
to five storey buildings are recommended for lands in Area 3
• two to four storey buildings are recommended for Area 4, which represents the
interior of the precinct
• buildings at the intersection of Brock Road and Major Oaks Road are
intended to establish a strong building presence for Brock Road and to frame
the entry-point into the Precinct
• detailed floodplain mapping by the Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority subsequent to Council's adoption of the Neighbourhood Plan and
Development Guidelines has resulted in realignment of the "top of bank" or
development limit for the East Duffins Creek Valley closer to Brock Road in
certain areas; this realignment of the development limits, among other
matters, affects the proposed road pattern in the Precinct; the
Neighbourhood Plan and,the Development Guidelines will require
amendment to reflect these changes
3.4 Duffins Precinct Environmental Servicing Plan
• the City of Pickering Official Plan requires the completion of an updated
(Master) Environmental Servicing Plan (ESP) for Duffins Precinct prior to
approving any detailed development plans
• an ESP for Duffins Precinct was prepared in 1999, but did not receive final
approval
• the realignment of the "top of bank" for the East Duffins Creek Valley has
resulted in the need for an update to the ESP for the southern portion of
Duffins Precinct
• the owner of the subject lands, on behalf of area landowners, has undertaken
this review; the first draft of the ESP update has been submitted and is
currently under review by the City and the Toronto Region Conservation
Authority
3.5 Zoning By-law 3036
• the subject lands are currently zoned "A"- Rural Agricultural, by Zoning
By-law 3036 which permits a variety of agriculture related uses
• an amendment to the zoning by-law is required to permit the proposed range
of residential lands and to bring the zoning for the property into conformity
with the Official Plan
