Executive Summary: As the density of development increases, it becomes progressively more critical that what gets built exhibits strong urban design and sustainable placemaking characteristics. These include such matters as building height and massing,.connectivity and permeability, building siting, architectural design, street interfaces, walkability, and landscaping, to name a few. 153 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 2 Averton (Brock Three) Ltd. et al. submitted a higher density, mixed use proposal for lands within the Mixed Use Corridor in Duffin Heights. Residents and staff identified numerous concerns with the original concept plan including: a lack of open space; lack of connectivity and permeability; inappropriate relationship with the development to the north; and development in excess of the allowable density. Planning staff and the City's Urban Design Review consultant worked with the applicant and their consultants to improve the overall design and layout of the plan and to address many of the concerns identified (see Original Concept Plan and Revised • Concept Plan, Attachments #3 and #4). Averton (Brock Three) Ltd. et al. has prepared a revised concept that has a total of 739 units including apartments, and other medium density housing forms. The applicant's revised concept plan has a number of strong elements, such as: its built form and streetscape along the frontages of Brock Road, future Street 'A' and William Jackson Drive; the mixed use apartment buildings at the focal point of Brock Road and the new east-west collector road; and the introduction of two parkettes and an enhanced internal pedestrian network. Using this concept as the basis, staff recommends Council approve the required zoning by-law amendment application and draft plan of subdivision subject to the conditions and provisions identified in Appendices I and II. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. 1. Background 1.1 Property Description The subject lands are located on the east side of Brock Road, north of the hydro corridor and west of William Jackson Drive, in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment#1). The subject lands comprise four properties which have a combined area of approximately 5.3 hectares, with approximately 323 metres of frontage along Brock Road and approximately 315 metres of frontage along William Jackson Drive. Surrounding land uses include: north — a mix of single, semi-detached and townhouse units currently under construction and a vacant parcel of land owned by Petro-Canada south — applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment, submitted by Lebovic Homes for the abutting vacant lands, for a common element condominium development consisting of 15 live-work townhouse units and 30 townhouse units 154 • Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 • Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 3 east - across William Jackson Drive, a mix of single, semi-detached and townhouse units; vacant lands currently zoned for a future elementary school; a neighbourhood park; and the Pickering Golf Club west — across Brock Road, vacant City owned lands located at the northwest and southwest corners of Brock Road and Zents Drive, which are designated as "Mixed Corridors" within the City's Official Plan 1.2 Applicant's Original and Revised Concept Plan The applicant has submitted applications for approval of a draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment to establish four blocks for residential purposes, a 22.0 metre wide collector road and a 7.6 metre wide road widening along Brock Road to facilitate a residential condominium development (see Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment#2). The overall proposal consists of: two 8-storey mixed use apartment buildings with grade related commercial uses and 4-storey stacked back-to-back townhouse blocks with integrated underground parking garages along Brock Road frontage; and on the remaining lands, a mix of back-to-back townhouses and stacked townhouses. City staff, through collaboration with the City's Urban Design Review consultant, (John G. Williams Limited) and the applicant's planner and architect, designed a revised concept plan for the subject lands. The revised concept plan addresses a number of concerns with respect to the overall design and layout of the proposal, density, pedestrian connectivity and outdoor amenity space. A copy of the Original Concept Plan and the Revised Concept Plan are provided for reference as Attachments #3 and #4, respectively. Specifically, the key changes include: • a reduction in the total number of dwelling units from 791 units to 739 units • the addition of 2 parkettes: a 725 square metre parkette to the north of the future collector road; and a 628 square metre parkette to the south of the future collector road • a realignment of the north vehicular access from William Jackson Drive, which provides a more appropriate road pattern for the site • improved integration with the development to the north with a landscape buffer strip and lay-by visitor parking adjacent to the north property line • the overall length of townhouse blocks have been reduced and the separation between the townhouse blocks have been increased to accommodate pedestrian walkways and additional landscaping opportunities; • and • additional enhanced north/south and east/west pedestrian connections have been added to allow residents to traverse the site 155 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd.

Comments Received 2.1 Public comments from the January 13, 2014 Statutory Public Information Meeting and in written submission At the January 13, 2014 Statutory Public Information Meeting, three residents attended the meeting to voice their concerns with respect to the proposed concept plan for the subject lands. The majority of their concerns related to whether the proposal was in keeping with the established character of the Duffin Heights community, which currently consists of primarily single, semi-detached and townhouse units. The concerns identified are as follows: • ensuring an appropriate amount of pedestrian connectivity within the site and to the existing neighbourhood park, located on the east side of William Jackson Drive • • ensuring that an adequate amount of outdoor amenity area is provided for the residents within the development • ensuring that an adequate amount of private amenity space is provided for each townhouse unit • reducing the total number of units proposed to within the allowable density range • ensuring that a sufficient number of parking spaces are available for visitors and residents, and that an appropriately sized internal private garage space is provided • ensuring compatibility of the proposed 8-storey apartment buildings in relation to the existing low-density neighbourhood • ensuring the timing of the construction for the future collector road will meet the traffic demands of the proposed development 2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments Region of Durham the Region of Durham Planning Department has 9 9 9 P advised that the proposal conforms with the policies of the Regional Official Plan • an Environmental Noise Assessment, dated July 2013, identified noise generated from Brock Road and the CP Rail line; appropriate noise attenuation measures are recommended and will be further reviewed during the Site Plan Approval process 156 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd.

Planning Analysis 3.1 The revised concept plan is within the density range of the Official Plan and is consistent with the policies for the Duffin Heights.Neighbourhood The subject lands are designated "Mixed Use Area — Mixed Corridors" in the Pickering Official Plan, which permits a density range of over 30 units up to and including 140 units per net hectare, and a maximum floor space index of 2.5. The original concept plan proposed a total of 791 residential units for a residential density of approximately 149 units per net hectare. Based on the changes made by the applicant, the total number of residential units have been reduced to 739 units, for a residential density of approximately 140 units per net hectare. The revised concept plan complies with the density requirements of the Official Plan. 158 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 7 The Duffin Heights Neighourhood policies for the Mixed Corridor designation require new developments to provide: • . a strong and identifiable urban image by establishing buildings closer to the street, providing safe and convenient pedestrian access, and requiring all buildings to be multi-storey, and • higher intensity multi-unit housing forms on lands adjacent to Brock Road while restricting grade related residential development to lands adjacent to collector or local roads. The revised concept plan illustrates two 8-storey mixed use apartment buildings and eight 4-storey stacked back-to-back townhouse blocks that have a setback of 3.8 metres from Brock Road. The proposed buildings will be sited close to the street, which will help establish a well-defined urban street wall and create a positive pedestrian-friendly building presence along Brock Road. The balance of the lands will be developed for back-to-back townhouse units and stacked townhouse units fronting onto William Jackson Drive, future Street 'A' and internal private roads. The intersection of Brock Road and future Street `A' is identified as a Focal Point on the tertiary plan contained within the Council-adopted Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Developments at focal points shall contribute to the prominence of the intersection through the use of appropriate building heights, massing, architectural features and landscaping. The revised concept plan illustrates two 8-storey mixed use apartment buildings at the northeast and southeast corners of Brock Road and future Street `A'. The proposed buildings appropriately frame the intersection and create a gateway into the community. Through the Site Plan Approval process, staff will work with the applicant to review the architectural design of proposed buildings to ensure they are appropriately articulated with elements such as towers, canopies, glazing, materials and other details that emphasize this intersection as a focal point in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. 3.2 Urban Design objectives of the Duffin Heights. Neighbourhood Development Guidelines have been addressed City staff, agencies and area residents identified a number of concerns with the original concept plan directly related to the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Development Guidelines such as: 1. lack of walkability within the development 2. lack of outdoor amenity space for passive and active recreation uses being provided within the development 3. the compatibility of the proposed 8-storey apartment buildings within the surrounding neighbourhood; and 4. the proposed design and timing of the future collector road 159 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 8 3.2.1 Additional linear parks and walkways have been provided to create a pedestrian-oriented residential development The revised concept plan provides for an enhanced pedestrian network in the form of sidewalks, linear parks and pathways. The additional pedestrian connections will allow future residents to traverse the site from east to west and north to south in order to access public transit, commercial uses along Brock Road, the proposed parkettes, the neighbourhood park and the surrounding neighbourhood. 3.2.2 Two parkettes are proposed as outdoor amenity space The applicant's revised plan introduces two parkettes, one of approximately 725 square metres in size to the north of the future collector road and the other approximately 628 square metres to the south of the future collector road. The parkettes are appropriately situated in the development and integrated with the pedestrian network system, which is fully accessible to all residents. Detailed programming and design of the parkettes will be determined through the site plan approval process. 3.2.3 The proposed 8-storey mixed use apartment buildings are consistent with the intent of the Neighbourhood Development Guidelines and compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood Area residents expressed concerns that the height of the two apartment buildings at the intersection of Brock Road and the future collector road are incompatible with the existing low density residential development within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. The proposed 8-storey mixed use buildings are consistent with the Neighbourhood Development Guidelines, which require higher density multi-storey buildings to be located along Brock Road. Staff have reviewed the height of the proposed buildings and have determined that they are compatible with the existing low density development within the neighbourhood and will have no impact on the existing residents with respect to shadowing and overlook. • 3.2.4 The future collector road will be constructed as. part of the Phase 2 Development The Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Development Guidelines permit a maximum right-of-way width of 22.0 metres for a collector road, including on-street parking. Engineering and Public Works staff have prepared a detailed cross-section of the proposed collector road and are satisfied that the maximum right-of-way width of • 22.0 metres can accommodate dedicated lay-by parking spaces on both sides of the road, a 3.0 metre wide multi-use path to the north, a 1.5 metre wide sidewalk to the south, boulevard trees, underground utilities, street furniture, and a dedicated right turn lane at the intersection of Brock Road and the future collector road (see Proposed Collector Road Cross-section, Attachment#6). 160 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 9 The applicant has submitted a traffic study concluding that up to an additional 400 residential units can be accommodated on the existing road network prior to the construction of the future collector road. The applicant is proposing a total of approximately 154 units within Phase 1 and 180 units within Phases 2 and 3 of the development. Based upon the site traffic distribution in the submitted traffic study, the existing road network will be sufficient for the initial phases of the subject site. Staff have reviewed the study and concur with its conclusions and recommendations. In addition, staff are recommending that a holding provision be applied to the subject lands to ensure the collector road is constructed in the second phase of development, including any financial contributions to the 'signalized intersection. 3.3 A sufficient number of parking spaces are being provided to support the development The table below identifies the typical parking standards used to calculate required parking for development applications within the City of Pickering, including those within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. The table also shows the number of parking spaces that are required to support the revised concept, and compares it to the actual spaces being provided. Dwelling Type Parking Ratio Parking Required Parking Provided Back-to-Back a minimum of 2 668 spaces for 668 spaces for Townhouses and Parking spaces per residential parking residential parking Stacked dwelling unit, plus Townhouses 0.25 of a space 84 spaces for 84 spaces for per dwelling for visitors visitors parking visitors parking Apartment units a minimum of 1.0 405 spaces for 405 spaces for and 4-storey parking space per residential parking residential parking Stacked-Back-to- unit plus 0.25 of a Back space per dwelling 101 spaces for 133 spaces for Townhouses for visitors visitors parking visitors parking a minimum of 4.5 Commercial parking spaces per Uses 100 square metres 94 parking spaces 94 parking spaces of gross leasable floor area Total Parking 1,352 parking 1,384 parking Spaces spaces spaces 161 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 10 Based on the above-noted parking standards, the applicant is providing a sufficient number of parking spaces to support the development. The parking spaces are appropriately distributed to accommodate residents, visitors and commercial operators. The development is located in close proximity to transit and City staff are supportive of a minimum of 1.0 parking space per unit for the apartment units and stacked back-to-back townhouse units adjacent to Brock Road. In addition, the proposed design of the right-of-way for the east-west collector road incorporates lay-by parking and on-street parking is also permitted along William Jackson Drive, which will provide additional on-street parking for visitors. These spaces have not been included in the overall number of parking spaces being provided by the development. Staff are satisfied that there are sufficient parking spaces available to accommodate the proposal. However, through the site plan approval process, staff will review whether there will be opportunities to provide for additional visitor parking spaces. 3.4 The revised concept plan is well integrated with the existing-development to the north and the future development to the south The applicant has amended the concept plan to address staffs concerns with the proposed interface with the existing residential development to the north. The revised concept plan provides for a landscape buffer and lay-by parking spaces adjacent to the rear yards to the north. In addition; the realignment of the north vehicular access from William Jackson Drive creates a larger setback to the existing development to the north. The application for the lands to the south of the subject lands provides for an appropriate interface between the two developments. Staff support the proposed integration as the units in both developments front onto a pedestrian walkway, which is between the units. Through consultation with staff, the concept plan has been revised to provide an additional pedestrian connection through the subject lands to the south in order to create an integrated pedestrian system of sidewalks throughout the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. 3.5 A phasing plan has been submitted demonstrating how the proposal will be completed over time. Another concern that was expressed by area residents was with regards to the. phasing of the development. The applicant has submitted a phasing plan demonstrating how the entire development will be completed over time (see Submitted Phasing Plan, Attachment#7). 162 • Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 • Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 -Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd. Page 11 The applicant proposes that the entire development will be developed in 5 phases. Based on the applicant's phasing plan, back-to-back townhouses and stacked townhouses within Phases 1, 2 and 3 are to be developed prior to the mixed use apartment buildings and stacked back-to-back townhouse units along Brock Road. The development of Phases 4 and 5 conform to the neighbourhood policies. 3.6 Additional concerns raised at the Public Information Meeting have been addressed by the applicant and the Region Additional concerns identified by area residents at the Public Information Meeting included: • the amount of outdoor private amenity area being provided with each townhouse unit • the size of the proposed sidewalks throughout the development • the internal garage size for each townhouse unit • the design and timing of the reconstruction along Brock Road The applicant has provided the following information to the City Development Department in response to questions raised from the area residents: • a minimum 4.5 square metres of private outdoor amenity area will be provided with each townhouse unit • all sidewalks throughout the development will be a minimum of 1.5 metres wide • internal garage sizes will be a minimum of 3.0 metres in width by 6.0 metres in length The Region of Durham has advised that Brock Road will be widened from two lanes to an interim four lane design to accommodate the additional traffic volumes and future demands on this road. There is a design for an ultimate six lane cross-section. However, at this point only four lanes will be constructed, from Third Concession Road/Rossland Road to the C.P. Railway north of the subject lands. The proposed Brock Road cross-section illustrates a 2.5 metre asphalt bike path on both sides of Brock Road. The anticipated timing for construction is to begin in 2015. 3.7 The applicant is required to become a party to the Duffin Heights cost sharing agreement or pay their proportionate share of the development costs The owner has been made aware of the requirement within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Policies to become a party to the cost sharing agreement for Duffin Heights or receive an acknowledgement from the Trustee of the • Duffin Heights Landowners Group Inc. that the benefiting landowner has made satisfactory arrangements to pay its proportionate share of the development costs. A condition of draft approval addresses this requirement. 163 Report PLN 15-14 July 7, 2014 Subject: SP-2013-04, A 8/13 —Averton (Brock Three) Ltd., Beaverbrook (Brock Two) Ltd. and Beaverbrook (Brock) Ltd.
