It extends west to include all of the properiies south of Commerce Street having both access and exposure to Frenchman's Bay, including the water lots under the Buy. The study nrea includes the historic "Village of Fairport", Hydro Marsh, Front Street Pazk, the East Spit and Beachfront Park. Existing development in the azea includes a mixture of housing, mnrinas, restaurant, boat storage, marina service, aquaculture, park, and natural open spaca uses (see Location Map —Attachment #1). 1.2 Development Applications In July 1999, the City received two major development proposals within the study arca (the location of the lands subject to thesc applications is also shown on Attachment #1). The applications, submittal by ihe Pickering Harbour Company (OPA 99-004/P and A 22/99), a��d G, & A. Hilts (now 794582 Ontnrio Ltd.) (A 23/99), proposed a"marine village" concept consisting of townhomes, boat staruge areas, and ihe potential for marinas, mazina•supportive uses, commercial uses, and higher density residential uses. The ipplications were discussed ut a Statutory Public InCortnatian Mceting held August 24, 1999. The Bay Ridges Neighbourhood Mup of the Pickering Official Plan identifies the study :�rea es being within a"Dctailed Review Arca", which indicates the need to establish comprehensive lund usc, urban design, transportation, and cnvironmental management parameters for the area prior to major development occumng. With respect to the above-mentioned applications, there was considcrable concem expressed by the Ciry and members of lhc public that such a comprehrnsive plan should be developed before making any dccisions on specific developmcnt applications. Accordingly, Cowcil pazsed Resolution #181/99 in September 1999, which directed stafT to prepare a terms of roference for a Detailed Review of the area. The resolution also stated that no,recommendations were to be fonvarded to Council on eny major development pn,posals within the study area until the Detailed Rcview was completed. 1.3 Detailed Review � :' � . _ Council endorsed a terms of reference for the Livetpool Road South Area Deteiled Review in December 1999 (see Attachment k2). The Planning and Development Departrnent was directed to initiate the study, and funding was established to underlake the work. Three consulting firtns were retained by tho City to provide professional assistance with merina dovelopment, urban design and market analysis. The firtns are Totten Sims Hubicki Associetes, Markson Boreoah Hodgson Architects and TCI Management Consultants Limited. Key personal from those fi�ms combined with staff of the Plenning and Development Department to fortn a study team to undertake the Detailed Review. As per the tertna of refemncc, the Detailed Review consists of two parts. Pazt 1 focuses on land use, building mass and placement, and provides an appropriate context for the roview of developmrnt applications. Oncc Council adopts thc recommendaHons of Part 1, tho stud,y team will proceed with Part 2, which focuses on deteiled design matters including thc eatablishment of e"themc" for the areq architectural guidelines, and landscape guidelines. REPORT NUMBER PD 26-00 Livecpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1— Phase 2 Report 1,4 Part 1—Pheso 1 Report J�,e s, z000 5 Page 4 On May 16, 2000, a report entiqed "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part I — Phase 1 Report", wes discussed at a public meeting. The report provided an opportunities and constraints analysis, guiding principles for discussion, a draft land use plan for the atudy area, draft development guidelines, and a draR implementation atrategy. Copies of the Part 1— Phase 1 Report were circulated to Members of Council, senior City staff, commenting agencies, as well as members of the public for review and comments. Approximately 70 people attrnded the May 16'� meeting, and a variety of issues were discussed. All comments were considered in the preparation of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1— Phase 2 Report. The Part 1— Phase 1 Report, prepared by the Planning and Development Depaztment, and ihe consulting fimis of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects and TCI Management Consultants Limited, provided a good synthesis of infortnation, comments and proposcd directions. Staff recommend that Council receive lhe Pazt 1— Phase 1 Report as background information. I.5 Part 1— Phase 2 Repart As per the Terms of Refercncc for the Liverpool Road South Ama Detailed Revicw, the second phase of Pazt 1 involved the refine�ient of the land use plan, development guidelines, and implementation stratcgy contnincd within the Part 1— Phase I Repoct. Following the May 16'� public meeting, the study team reassessed various aspects of thc Phasc 1 RepoA in light of comments received, nnd made appropriatc revisions. Thc rovisions co the principle components of the Part 1— Phesc 1 Report now reside within the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Revicw: Pert I— Phase 2 Repori, which is attached as Appendix [ to Report Number PD 26-00. The Report comprises six parts: PaA A: Public Consultation :iummary; Pari B: Revised Land Use Pian; Part C: Liverpool Road Wnterfront Node Devclopment Guidelines; Part D: Revised Implementation Strategy; Part E Informational Revisions to the Pickering Official Plan; and Pari F: Potential Amrndments to the Pickering Official Plan. The Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Pari 1— Phaze 2 RepoR constitutes the final recommrndations of the atudy team for the study area on land use, trensportadon, urban design, environmrntal management and implemrntation. Staff recommend that Council receive the Part 1— Phaze 2 Report, attached as Appendix I to Report Number PD 26-00, es background infotmation. Certain components of the Part 1— Phase 2 RepoR requiro furiher action on the pazt of Council, which is detailed in the following discussion section. It should be noted that in anticipation of Council's adoption of thc Livcrpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Pert 1— Phase 2 Report, reporis have also becn prepered Cor Council's consideration rogerding the applications submitted by Pickering Harbour Company (OPA 99-004/P and A 22/99), and G. & A. Hilts (now 794582 Ontario Ltd.) (A 23/99). Those reports — Report Number PD 27-00 and Report Number PD 28-00 rospectively, appear on the enme egenda as thia Repott. 8 REPORT N[TMBER PD 26-00 Live�pcwl Road South Area Detailed Review: Pert 1— Phase 2 Report 2.0 Djscussion 2.1 Public Consultation Swnmery June 8, 2000 Page 5 The Public Consultadon Summary identifies lhe tormal consultation sessions held during Part 1 of the Detailed Review. Also summarized are the main issues identified during a public meeting held May 16'�, 2000, to discuss the Part 1— Phaso 1 Report. A detailed staff'response is provided for each of the issues. Briefly, the main issues discussed in the Public Consultation Summary aze as follows; • several people expressed concern with the potential loss of marina activity if all lands adjacent to Frenchman's Bay were development for other pucposes; staff agrec and have revised the development guidelines and dratted Ofticial Plan policy to establish a"Waterfront Use und Amenity Arca" adjacent to the Bay, in which uses of a primarily waterfront-related nature will be permitted; • concems werc raised regarding the potential for new development to have a detrimental impact on the area's natural features; staff agree that it is important to considet these impacts; several OfTicial Plan policies provide guidance on this matter, • the "Pickering Ajax Citizens Together" group has taken the position thal no bay-filling be permitted; staff suggest that to prohibit bny-filling may preclude opporiunities to improve certain segments of the Frenchman's Buy shoreline; such improvemenls may also be appropriate to eccommodate public amenities, such as a waterfront promenade; • people were concemcd with the prospccts of increazed traffic in the neighbourhood resulting from additional development; staff point out the Livccpool Road Wnterfront Nalc Devolopment Guidelines do no contemplatc a"regional scale" level of devclopment, as the corresponding intcnsity oC development would be inappropriate for this area; the trn�c situation will be monitored and mitigutive actions taken if necessary; and • several poople objccted to thc suggestion that ceriain existing nnd future roads should accommodate on-strect parking, and wcre concemed that there may not be enough parking; staff point out that the parking strategies included within the Development Guidclines, aze a"package" of oppoAunities, suggesting both on- und off-street pazking; all will likely be required to accommodate future parking demand in this area of limited available land; nevertheless, the pazking situation will also be monitored over time. 2.2 Revised Lund Use Plan The purpose of the detailed land use plan is to provide a basis for preparing the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Developmrnt Guidelines. The rovised plan romains quite similar to thut appeazing in the Phase 1— Part 1 Report, with one change of note. The more substantial change is the addition of lhe "Waterfront Use and Amenity Atta", which is a cortidor stretching approximately 40 metres inland from the edge of Frenchman's Bay, mm�ing from the Front Slreet City Perk Uvouglt the Marina Mixed Use Area lo Livecpool Road. Generally, the area is rcserved exclusively for marinc-alatcd activities, including marinas, yacht clubs, merina-supportive facilities, mooring facilitics, the waterfront promenade and other public activity areas such es parks, public picrs and public equares. At Council's discrction, additional uses such as rcsidential, commcrcial, retail, and office uses, could be conaidercd within the 40 metms, provided that detailed developmrnt proposals make appropriatc accommodations for merino-related activities and/or public activity arces (in eddition to the publicly-accessible waterfronl promenade proviously identified in the Pazt 1— Phase 1 Report). ' REPORT NUMBER PD 26-00 June S, 2000 � Liverpool Road Soulh Area Dotailed Review: Pact 1— Phasc 2 Report Page 6 2.3 Liverpool Road Waterfrcnt Noda Development Guidelines The recommended dovelopment guidelines have been revised moderately sincc the drafl guidelines were released with the Part 1— Phese 1 Reporl, including minor retbrtnatting. The revisions of significance are: c the addition of the Revised Lund Use Plun, which forms a tertiary plan within the guidelines and provides clerity with respect to the Node's various land uses; • a new section dealing with the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area (discussed previously); • more emphasis on a requirement that any new residential buildings fronting Liverpool Road include an appropriate ground floor design (intemal and extema]), to accommodnte a variety of uses (such as retail, commeroial and office), during the lifespan of the building; nnd + new sections that provido greater direction on pecmitting limited commercial uses within FairpoR Village, environmental management, servicing, stormwater management, and implementation of the development guidelines. The development guidelines provide an appropriate level of detail to review development applications within the Node. Therefore, stafT' recommend that Council adopt the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines attached as Appendix II to Report Number PD 26-00, as the City's strategy for detailed land use, urban design, und major street layout within the Live�pool Rond South Arca. Upon completion of Part 2 oCthc Detailed Review, stnCiwill rcpoA back lo Council with cecommended additions to the development guidelines, consisting of detailed architcctural and landscape guidelines. 2.4 Revised Implementation Strategy The Implcmentntion Strstegy addmsses those components of o succcssful waterfront which assist in implcmenting land use, design and development matters, or are complementary strategies and initiatives. While the implementation matters identifed arc aimed at Council, there are other levels of govemment, public and private egencies, private and non-govemmrnt organizations, and others who will collaboratively assisl in the achievement of a successful waterfront node. The Implementation Strategy includes such actions as: • pursuing opportunities to incrcase public access to the water's edge; . budgeting for infraswcture projxts such as sidewalks and pedestrian lighting; . involving the City's Waterfront Coordinating Committee in efforts to improve the navigability oCFrenchmen's Bay and its harbour encrance; and • wntinuing efforts to improve the ecological state of Frenchman's Bay and Hydro Marsh. Staff recommend that Councii rndorse the "Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Revised Implementation Strategy�', attached as Appendix III to Report Number PD 26-00, disect City etal'f to include lhe Implementation Strategy as an appendix to the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines, and direct Ciry staCf to revicw implementation mariers annually and fonvard appropriate projcets for Council's consideration during budget deliberations. 2.5 Informational Revisions and Potential Amrndmenta to the Pickcring Official Plen One of the benefita of undertaking a comprehenaive atudy ot this naturc, is thut it can refine and update tnformation used in the preparation of tho Ciry's O[ficial Plnn. All potential amendmenta to the Officiel Plen will requirc a public consultation proccss . i $ REPORT NUMBER PD 26-00 June 8, 2000 Livecpciol Road South Ana Detailed Review: Part 1— Phase 2 Report Page 7 separate Crom this Detailed Revicw, includir.g a Statutory Public Information Meeting. Infortnational reviaions to the O�cial Plen can be adopted by Council at any time. Informational revisions include the updating of the Neighbourhood Map for the Bay Ridges Neighboufiood, as well as inCormational text (detaileJ in Apprndix IV to RepoA Number PD 26-00), Staff recommend that Council adopt "L�fortnational Revision No. 8 to lhe Pickering Of[icial Plan" attached as Appcndix N to Report Number PD 26-00. Certain amendments to the Pickering O�cial Plen are required to provide a strong policy foundation for future development within the Waterfront Node. A specific visio�� and set of objectives emerged through the Detailed Review. Proper Official Plan policy is critical to the realization of these goals. Staff have prepared "Potential Am:ndmrnts to the Pickering Ofiicial Plan" attached as Appendix V to Repori Number PD 26-00, for discussion purposes. Such amendments muy include policies that: • recognize the uniqueness of the area and identify it as a"Waterfront Node"; • ensure lhat lands are developed at an appropriate scale with an appropriate mix of uses; • ensure that appropriate lands are securcd for public access to the water's edge; • require ccrtain watcrtronl-related uses next to Frenchman's Bay, and potentially allow other uses within this erca if dctailcd development proposals contributes nppropriately to a sense of public realm at the water's edge; • require that proponents of development enter to agreements with the City; and • rncourage opportunitics to rcjuvenatc the historic Vilinge of Fairport by pertnitting small-scalc commercial uses, subject to certain criteria and site-speci5c rezoning applications. As mentioned prcviously, amendments to the Official Plan will require a public consultation process scparste from this Detailed Review. Accordingly, stall'recommend that Council direct stafl' to hold a Statutury Public Information Meeting on August 10, 2000, to discuss potential amendments to the Pickering Otficial Plun required to implement the recommendations of thc "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part I— Phase 2 ReporC', as generally set out in Appendix V to Report Number PD 26-00. 3.0 Livemool Road South Arca Detailed Review— Psn 2 We would like to thank everyone who participated in Part 1 of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review, including over I50 members of lhe public, area landowncrs, staff of the Toronto and Region Consrnation Authority, and Region of Durham, as well as the consulting £mis of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, Markson Borooeh Hodgson Architect� end TCI Management Consultants Limited. The Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1— Phase 2 Repod, provides a specific vision for future development within thc Li�•omool Road Waterfront Node, end esteblishes the framework necessary to roview development epplications. It is now appropriate to move forward with Pert 2 of the Detailed Review, which will result with detailed architectural and landacape guidelines. Acwrdi�gly, staff recommend that Council direct staff to commence with the "Liverpcwl Road South Area Detailed Review — Part 2", as per the Council-adopted Tertns of Reference fcr the Liverpool Road South Arca Detailed Revicw.

Live`rpool Road Waterfront Node Development Cuidelines C1J Ceneral D�cription The . Liverpool Road Waterfront Node is located at the southem tip ot the _ Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. Bay Ridges Iles on the eut side of Frenchman's Bay. Hlghway 401 is the neighbourhood's northem Iimit, and lake Ontario is its southem limit. The Liverpool Road Waterfront Node extends Gom the IoLs on the north side of Commerce SVeet southerly to Lake Ontario along both sides af Ltverpool Road. It extends west to include all of the properties having access to, and exposure to, Frenchman's Bay, (nciud(ng the water lots under the Bay. The Node (ncludes the historic Nfllage of Fairport'. Krosno Creek abuts the east edge of the Node. Further east is Alex Robertson Park, Sandy Beach Road, and the Plckering Nuclear Generating SWtfon. To the south is Lake Ontario. To the west lies Frenchman's Bay, and further west is the West Shore Ne(ghbourhood. To the north Ifes a mixture of old cottage style development, as well as newer 1950's and 1960's subdivision development. A commercial area servtng the Nefghbourhood is located about a half a kilometer to the north at the (ntersection of Krosno Boulevard and Liverpool Road. The Node's history is closely Ifnked with its waterfront location. Over the years, numerous marinas, boat storege, and marine service businesses have opereted in ihe area, and a number continue to operate. A sewage pumping station operates on the east side of Liverpool Road. Add(tlonally, the Node of(ers opportunities for formal and infortnal recreational activities w(th natural open space, park areas, and tralls. At the t(me of adoption ot Ihese Guidelines, it was realized that some parts of the area exhibit a somewhat unkempt, or disused appearance, while others exhibit extreme attentlon to detail, design and maintenance. Investment and attention by municipal, other govemment and non•govemment organizations, by individuals, and by private landowners, residents and business operators, will help pol(sh this •dfamond (n the rough'. � C1.Y Guiding Vision — "Walerfront Village" The guiding v(sfon for the entire Node ts that of a'Waterfront Village' with a mix o( uses lhat is open, accessible and triendly. The Vlllage should be an interesting place to Iive, work, and visit. Recogniz(ng Frenchman's Bay as a boaHng tourism area, the Water(ront Village will provide seasonal marina facilities with some opportunities for visiting boaters. Additional land-based recreation and tourfsm opportuniNes will bring visitors trom the local area interested in spending a few hours to most of a day tn the area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, (ncluding street amen(ties. ' The character of the Waterfront Vfllage will be established by its series of small blocks with frequent and regular vtews out to the water. The streets will fortn vlew corridors and ad as public open space. M added benefit of this form of development (s that (rom Frenchman's Bay, the Waterfront Village will be permeated by view cortidoa, rether than being a cont(nuous wall o( buildings. • �;.� .� � - � � � � � � },., � � � \� , � ` ,, , ..; _ Uverpool Road Wate�iront Node Development Guidellnes PaBe 231. /1" welltronnected nehnrork of public o'pen space and streets, which exhibit a high level of streetsppe design and quality, (urther reinforces the character of the Vlllage. The sUeets will ; provide pedesMao-friendly spaces that are sunny, (nviting and sheltered from (nclement weather. Due to the proxim(ty of the Bay and the relatively inteiise marina uses established In this area, the entire neighbourhood has been fnfluenced by a'nautical heritage'. The existing marinas have provfded a focal point and key charecter-seKing element for many years; the conUnuation of mar(na uses in these areas will persfst az a key character-setting element of the Viliage. Accordingly, lands adjacent to the Bay will feature a varfety of marine-related adivities, publfc amenities, and a waterfront promenade meandering along the waters edge. In addition to the marine-related adivities, the Village will offer a variety of other uses that provtde oppoRunities tor people to live, work, shop and play withln the area. These additionai uses include residential development, retail operatlons Iike craft stores, bouUques and bookshops, as weil as other uses such as restaurants, art studios, and offices. C1.3 Land Use Objectives The Terttary Plan (F(gure A on page 3) provides add(tional direction on land uses within lhe Node. Objedives (or each land use are deWfled below. C1.3.1 Natural Areas and Oaen Space Four areas are (ound within this (and use: Front Street City Park; East Spit Beach(ront Park; and, the Hydro Marsh. The two parks are anticipated to include a mfx of active and passive recreat(onal areas, as well as vehfcle parking within or near the parks. The 'Mille�••�um Square' — a public gathering place, is situated at lhe foot o( Liverpool Road, adjacent to Beau�front Park. The Hydro Marsh is an environmentally sensiUve wetland tn which development is not pertniued. Development adJacent to the wetland must be destgned (n a manner, wh(ch mitigates detrimental impacts on the wetland. The East Spit exhibits the characteristia of a dynamic beach. Public uses are appropriate on the Spit, as are a I(mited number o( use�supportive buildings (washrooms, landmarks, canteens, etc.). Vehicular access to lhe East Spit and Beachfront Park shall be restricted to emergency vehicles and maintenance equ(pment. C1.3.2 Established Built Area Thts area consists largely of the histor(c Village of Fairport. Of interest (s prolecting the cha�acter of the historic village while provfding an opportuniry tor reviWlizing a'village' tundion by permitt(ng such adivities as tearooms, crah shops, art studios, and offices. The additional uses would be subject to the co�stderation of site�speciflc tezoning app(ications. C1.3.3 Mar(na Mtxed Use These lands will develop in a manner that creates a high quality built form that fs sensitive to views of the water, provides a crftical link for visual and physical public accessibiltty to the wate�front where appropriate, has an attradive pedestrian scale, and builds upon existing neighbourhood pattems.

C1.3.4 Waterfront Use and Amenftv Area . -'.j. ' The Watedront Use and Ameniry Area is a corcidor stretching approximately AO metres inland trom '•`� the edge of Frenchman's eay, running from the Front Street City Park through the Marina Mixed Use llrea lo Liverpool Road. Generally, the area Is reserved for maz(n�related activit(es, including marinas, yacht ciubs, marina-supportive facilities, mooring fadlittes, the waterfront promenade and other pubiic adiviry areas such as public plers and public squares. Additional uses, such as residential, commercial, retail, and o((ice uses, could be considered within the 40 metres on a sitespecific basis, provided that detailed development proposals incorporate marine-related activit(es and/or publfc activtty areas. C1.3.5 Livemool Road Cortidor Development along Liverpool Road will achieve a high levei of design and architectural qualfty, featur(ng a vibrant pedestrian environment. Over time, the area will ofter a mix of uses fnclud(ng residential, commercial, retail, and office, which contribute to an inviting public realm at street level. .(, ;,�� �' ,, �; :; s ,- , ,. , ... ; : _. . o. , 34 ,��.,. : ' , - � Uverpoo) Road Watedront Node Development Guldelines Page 5 G1.1 Development Standarde Chapters 9—'Community Design' and ti3 —'Deqiled Des(gn ConsideraGons' o( the Pickering Offlcial Plan provide a comprehensive 'toolk(C of urban destgn principlee, which arc W be employed throughout the Ciry. This sectlon of the Development Cuidel(nes foliows trom the discussion on the'Waterfront Village' vis(on, and applies the OHicial Plan's design'tools' to the Waterfront Node. Th(s direction includes such mattr.rs as placement of new streets, mass(ng and siting of buildings, and streetsrape design.

Views such as these are considered to be of primary importance to the establishment and preservat(on ot a sense of place. These views create the unique atmosphere of the area, and help define the vision for the Node. To preserve, enhance and maximize opportunittes for vievn (rom the area towarcls Frenchman's Bay and LakeOnWrio, is of primary tmportance and shall be a key consideration (n the review of,any development proposal. Of utmost importance (s the need to proted views, and frame view corridors, at frequent intervals along Liverpool Road to Frenchman's Bay. The views and visWs conceptualized (n the foilowing drawing will help to maintain thts area's Iink to the wate�front as weli as proted and enhance Liverpool Road South's unique sense of place.

Roadways Existing roads shall be maintatned in their existing mniiguration. Considerot(on should be given to creating an attractive bus stop near Liverpool Bridge. New streecs will generally feature an 18-metre rightof-way and will be designed in accordance with the evolving character of the area. The use ot rear lanes should be encouraged in new � development so that garage faces and driveway cuts are mintmized along Liverpool Road. Where , laneways are publ(c, they shall generally be 7.5 metres in width with underground services. Ltverpool Road shall become the new spine of the proposed public open space nelwork. It will have on-street pedestrian facilitles of the highest qualiry, including wide, hard•surfaced walkways, lighting, seating, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, publfc art, and signposts, Detailed guidelines for road design are included in section C1.7 —'DeWiled Architedural and Landscape Cuidelines' (to be mmpleted during Part 2 of the llverpool Road Soufh Area Defailed Revlew]. Sldewalks The princtples of continuity, safety, convenience, handicap accessibility and camfort will be employed to create a sidewalk system throughout the Node. It will be appropriate to have a sidewalk on both sides of Liverpool Road wjth access (rom the public sldewalks into adjacent buiidings by a m(ntmum number of steps. Streets leading perpendlcular (rom Liverpool Road to other parts o( the study area may require sidewalks on only one side of the street. New public 'laneways' may carry such low trefflc levels that tfie lane itself may adequately accommodate pedestrian traf(ic. Water(ront Promenade The traditional land-based public network wili be augmented by a weli-designed publicly-accessible pedestrian promenade along the waterfront. It will ultimately be continuous (rom Commerce Street south to the bridge at Liverpool Road, allowing for public access to the water(ront. The waterGont promenade should be wide and generously proportioned. It will be pedestrian friendly w(th trequent areas for seaNng and lookouts, pedestrian-scale Ilghting and lntegrated street fumiture. Recognizing the numerous private ownerships alona the Bay's edge, a variety of access opNons including ownership, easements and right-0(ways will be requtred to ach(eve the promenade. In addiHon, some interim solutions, which are set back from the water's edge, such as on-�oad portions, may be necessary. � t, . _ y`, �'.�, . . . . . .

Extension af the small blocks will provide additional street edges, greater permeability within the neighbourhood, and (requent views ro the water. Applying the existing block pattem to lands south of Wharf Street will create (our blocks o� each side of Liverpool Road. These lands provide areas of opportunity tor the development of new City blocks. Existing blocks to the north and east have already been fully developed and will remain in their current buflt form conditions. The new blocks facilitate implementation of the land use objectives for these areas. Flpure D—Potentlai DevebpmentBbcks � `� a Llverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Cuidelfnes Page 9 Ct.4.4 Built Form New build(ngs should be designed to be welcomtng and frfendly to peciestrians. This should be .. accomplished through features such as front porches, high quallry landscaptng of front yards, large windaws on the ground floor, and signage of an appropriate character. All architectural design must be of a high quality: Methadologies that tnciude various design elements for reducing the bulk of a building's appearance should be developed as part of the arch(tedural design. Enhanced (lankage elevaHons wll� be requ(red for camer lots. The materiais, roo0ines, design elements and details of new buildings should harmonize with the theme o( a wate�front village pheme to be determtned during Parf 2 of the Uverpool Road South Area Detafled RevlewJ. Buildings will generally be located belween 3.0 metms and 4.5 metres from the Gont property Iine to create enclosure of the street. Generally, as-of-right building height for new development along publ(c streets south of Mnland will be 3-storeys, or i t metres. C1.4.5 Livemooi Road Streetsppe The design of the public righFof-way belween the curb edge and private property is considered to be critical to the successful development of this area. Special attention will be given to developing a cohesive streetscape treatment that can be applied to private development and the public realm thraughout the corridor. The streetscape treatment wiil include paving material, I(ghtfng, sfgnposts'and street fumiture (seating, trash receptacles and drinking fountains), which will be located In distind areas adjacent to the sidewalk for easy pedestrian access. ,�. The design of buildings diredly adjacent to the street wlll be an (mportant part of the creation oi a cohesive design theme for the streets In the area. A continuous street wail (occasionally interrupted to maintafn views oF the Bay), is ideai for this kind of street treatment. Buildings along Liverpool Road shall be butlt close to the street without too much variadon (n setbacks. This form will help to provtde rnntalnment to the street. Ample fenestratlon on the front face of buildings will assist (n creating a safe, Inviting environment along the street.

Porches wlll be allowed in the tront yarcl. Setbacks greater'�an the build-to (lne will be pertnitted if the result Is a hard-surtaced outdoor seadng area p.e. restaurant patio), or a publlc rest(ng node along the street. Bulldings along Liverpool Road must be designed in a manner such that they can accommodate a range of uses over time. Ground-level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly v(sible, (eature ample fenestration, be easily accessi6le from the street, feature minimum ceiling hefghts for ground tloors of 3 metres, and be suitably arranged to accommodate such adivitfes as retail shops, studios, o�ces and (iving area. These ground-level rooms must be constructed to the appropriate Buflding and F(re Code standards (or commercial-type uses. Signage for these 'shop�houses' must be • disr.reetly located and consistent with the architectural theme of the building.

" 40 Liverpool Road Watehront Node Development Guidelines Page 11 C1.4.7' Fairport Villaxe The Fairport Village area once featured a var(ety of small commercial operaqons that oHered goods and services to the local residents. Provided [he character of the area is not affected, it is desirable to reintroduce this type of activity within the Village on a Iimfted basis. If a landowner wishes to (ncorpo�ate uses such as tea rooms, crak shops, art studios, and • professional offlces w(thin a dwelling, site-spec�flc rezon(ng applications will be required. Matters that will be considered in the review of the appliwtions include: the availabilfty of off- and on-street park(ng; that minor or no exterior renovations are requfred; and that signage is discretely accommodated. Ct.S Parking Strelegies Creative parking arrangements, not prevfously employed in Pickering, are required for this area. Opportun(ties for parktng include: • requiring that all new residential development provide appropriate of(-street parking; • permitting on-street parking on one side of Liverpool Road north of Wharf Street, on one side of other streets north of Wharf Street, on both s(des of Liverpool Road south of Wharf Street, and one side of any new east-west streets south of Whad Street; • pertnitting commerctal parking lots and off•site parking under long-term leases; • accepting cash-in-lieu of parking in this area, particularly for the small-scale commerciai � developments anticipated along Liverpool and in Fafrport Village; • encoureging Sandy Beach Road as an altemative access route and overflaw parking destlnation; and • accommodating event parktng at nearby schools and the GO sWtion.

The Uverpool Road Waterfront Node is located at the southem tip of the Bay Ridges Nefghbaurhood. Bay R(dges Ifes on the east side of Frenchman's Bay. Highway 401 is the neighboufiood's noAhem Nmit, and Lake Ontario is its southem Ifmit. The Liverpool Road Waterfront Node extends from the lots on the north side of Commerce Street southerly to Lake Ontario along 6oth sides of Liverpool Road. ' It extends west to include all of the properties F�ving access to, and exposure to, Frenchman's Bay, including the water lots under the Bay. The Node includes the h(storic'Village of Fairport'. Krosno Creek abuts the east edge of the Node. Further east is Alex Robertson Park, Sandy Beach Road, and the Pickering Nuclear Generating StaUon. To the south ts Lake Ontario. To the west Iles Frenchman's Bay, and further west is the West Shore Nefghbourhood. To the north Iles a mixture of old cottage style development, as well as newer 1950's and 1960's subdivis(on development. A commerctal area serving the Neighbourhood is located about a half a kilometer to the north at the intersection of Krosno Boulevard and Liverpool Road. The Node's history (s closely Iinked wilh its water(ront location. Over the years, numerous marinas, boat storage, and marine service businesses have opereted in the area, and a number continue to operate. A sewage pumping st�tion operates on the east side of Liverpool Road. Additionally, the Node o(fero opportunities tor formal and informal recreational activities with natural ope� space, park areas, and trails. At the tlme of adoption of these Guidelines, ft was realized that some parts of the area exhibit a somewhat unkempt, or disused appearance, while others exhibft extreme attentton to deWil, design and ma(ntenance. Investment and attentton by municipal, other government and non-govemment organizations, by individuals, and by private landowners, res(dents and bus(ness operatoro, will hclp poltsh Ihis'dfamond in ihe rough'. C1.2 GuidtngVfsion—"WaterfronlVillage" The gufding viston for the entire Node is that of a'Waterfront Village' with a mix of uses that is open, accessible and (riendly. The Village should be an interest(ng place to Iive, work, and visit. Recognfzing Frenchman's Bay az a boating tourism area, the Wate�(ront Vlllage will provide seasonal marina facilittes wilh some opportun(ties for visiting boaters. Additionai la�d-based recreatlon and tourism opportunities wlll bring visitors from the local area interested fn spending a few hours to most of a day fn the area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, including street amenities. � The character of the Watedront Village will be establtshed by its sertes of small blocks with Gequent and regular views out to the water. The streets wfll foqn view corridors and act as public open space. M added benefit of this (orm of development is that from Frenchman's Bay, 1he Waterfront Village will be permeated by view corcidors, rather than being a cont(nuous wall o( buildings.. . i il 56 ; Uverpoo) Road Watetfront Node Development Guldelfnes , .Page 2 A well�conneded networlc of public open space and streets, whfch exhib(t a high Icwel of streetscape desfgn and quality, further refnforces the cha�ader of the Vlllage. The streets will provide pedestriao-triendly spaces that are sunny, fnvitlng and sheltered from inclement weather. • Due to the proximfly of the Bay and the relatively intense marfna uses established in this area, the endre neighbourhood has been influenced by a"nautical heritage'. The ex(stfng marinas have provided a(ocal polnt and key charecter-setting element for many years; the contfnuat(on of marina . uses tn these areas will persist as a key character-setting element of the Village. Accord(ngly, lands adjacent to the Bay will (eature a yariety of marin�related activitied, publfc amenfties, and a water(ront promenade meandering alo�g the water's edge. In additlon to the marine-related activities, the Village will oHer a variety of other uses that provide opportunities for people to Iive, work, shop and play wfth(n the area. These additional uses include residentfal development, reWil operaHons like crah stores, boutiques and bookshops, as well as other uses such as restaurants, art studfos, and oHices. C1.3 land Use Objectives The Tertiary Plan (Figure A on page 3) provides additional direction on land uses within the Node. ObJectives (or each land use are detailed below. C1.3.1 Naturel Areas and Open Space Four areas are (ound within this land use: front Slreet City Park; East Spih Beachfront Park; and, the Hydro Marsh. The two parks are antic(pated to include a mix o( active and passive recreat(onal areas, as well as vehicle parking within or near the parks. The 'Millenntum Square' — a public gathering place, ts situated at the foot ot Liverpool Road, adJacent to Beachfront Park. The Hydro Marsh is an environmentally sensitive wetland in which development is not pertnftled. Development adjacent to the wetland must be destgned tn a manner, whtch mlligates detrimental impacts on ihe wetland. The East Spit exhibits the characteristia of a dynamic beach. Public uses are appropriate on the Spit, as are a Iimited number of use-supportfve buildings (washrooms, landmarks, canteens, etc.). Vehfcular access to the Fast Spit and Beachfront Park shall be restricted to emergency vehicles and maintenance eqnipment. C1.3.2 Established Built Area This area consists (argely of the historic Village of Fairport. Of interest (s proteding the character of the historic village while provlding an opportunity for reviWitztng a'village' tundfon by permilHng such actfvities as tearooms, crak shops, art studios, and offices.

OeWiled design matters, such as a�chitedural Ihemes, , landscaping, and design of public roads and trafls, are discussed in sedion C1.7 - 'DeWlled Architecturoi and Landscape Guidelines' (to be mmp/eted during Part 2 of the Uverpool Road South Area Detalled ReviewF C1.4.1 Vlews and Vistas Currently, there are open views to Frenchman's Bay from Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street, whfch provide a sense of place to the waterfront locatton. Vlews such as these are considered to be of primary importance to the esWblishment and preservation of a sense of place. These views create the unique atmosphere oF the area, and help define the vis(on for the Node. To preserve, enhance and maximize opportunitfes (or views from the area towards Frenchman's eay and Lake Ontario, is o( primary (mportance and shall be a key consideration in the review of .any development proposal. Of utmost (mportance is the need to proted vlews, and (rame view corridors, at frequent intervals along Liverpooi Road to Frenchman's Bay. The views and vishas conceptualfzed in the following drawing will help to maintaln this area's Iink to the waterfront as well as protect and enhance Liverpool Road South's unique sense of place.

Roadway surtaces are designed to accommadate vehicular and bicycle t►afflc, sidewalks are designed to adequatety and safely accommodate pedesMans, and a trail system provides other critical Iinks In the vicinity. Roadways Existing roads shall be mainW(ned fn their existing conflguretion. Considerafion should be given to creat(ng an attradive bus stop near Liverpool Bridge. New streets will generally feature an 18-metre rightof-way and will be designed in accordance with the evolving charecter of the area. The use of rear lanes should be encouraged in new development so that garage faces and driveway cuts are minlmized along Ltverpool Road. Where laneways are public, they shall generally be 7.5 metres In w(dth with underground services, Lfverpool Road shall become Ihe new spine of the proposed public open space network. It will have on-street pedestrian facilitles of the hfghest quality, Including wide, hard-surfaced walkways, lighting, seat(ng, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, public art, and signposts. DeWiled guidelines for road design are included fn section C1.7 —'Detailed Archltectural and Landscape Guidelines' (fo be rnmp/efed during Part ? of the Uve�poof Road Sonth Arca Detailed Revfew). 5ldewalks The principles of continuiry, sa(ery, convenience, handicap accessibility and com(ort will be employed to create a sidewalk system ihroughout lhe Node. It will be appropriete to have a sidewalk on both s(des of Liverpool Road with access from the public sidewalks into adjacent buildings by a minfmum number o( steps. Sireets leading perpendfcular from Liverpool Road to other parts of the study area may require sidewalks on only one stde of the strc�et. New public 'laneways' may carry such low traf(Ic levels that the lane itself may adequately accommodate pedestrfan tra(fic. Waterfront Promenade The trad(tional land-based public network will be augmented by a weli�fesigned publicly,accessible pedestrian promenade along the watedront. It will ultimately be continuous from Commerce Street south to the bridge at Llverpool Road, allowing for public access to the water(ront. The watertront promenade should be wide and generously proportioned. It will be pedestrian friendly with Gequent areas tor seating and lookouts, pedestrian-scale lighting and integrated street fumiture. Recogntz(ng the �umerous pr(vate ownerships along the Bay's edge, a variety of access options including ownership, easements and right�of-ways will be required to ach(eve the promenade. In addition, some fnterim soluttons, which are set back from the water's edge, such as �n-road portions, may be necessary. r ,y.:: � s� Uverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelfnes Page 7 Deqiled guidelines for desigo of the wateriront promenade are included In sedion C1.7 - 'Detailed Architectural and Landscape Guidelines' (fo be rnmpleted during Part 2 of the [lverpool Road South Area Detalled Revlew]. • Tratls Oppartunities to create addidonal off-road trail connections along the edge of Frenchman's Bay to Alex Robertson Pa�k and along the lake Ontario water(ront should be explored through the revfew of development applications. In th(s area, parkland dedication should be considered tor trail connections. Opportunities'to Impiemenf sections of the waterfront promenade should be pursued.

New s►reets and access points should contlnue thfs traditional block pattem. Extensfon of the small blocks will provide addiHonal streec edges, greater permeability within the netghbourhood, and frequent views to the water. Appiying the ex(sting block pattem to lands south of Wharf Street wtll create four blocks on each side of Uverpooi Road. These lands provide areas of opportunity tor the development o( new City blocks. Existing blocks to the north and east have already been fully developed and will remain in their current built form conditions.

Thts should be acrnmpllshed through (eatures such as front porches, high quality landscaping ot front yards, large windows on the ground Ooor, and signage o( an appropriate character. All architectural design must be of a high qOal(ty. Methodologies that include various deslgn elements for reducing the bulk of a building'sappearance should 6e developed as part of the architecturel design. Enhanced flankage elevations will be required tor comer lots. The materials, rooFlines, design elements and details of �ew buildings should harmonfze with the theme of a waterfront village (theme to be determined during Part 2 oi the Llverpool Road South Area Detailed Review]. euildings will generally be located between 3.0 metres and 4.5 metres from the front property Iine to create enclosure of the street. Generally, azof-right building height for new development along publfc streets south of Mnland will be 3-storeys, or 11 metres. C1.4.5 Ltverpool Road Streetscape The design of the public right�of-way between the curb edge and private property is considered ta be critiql to the successful development of th(s area. Special attention will be given to developing a cohes(ve streetscape treatment that can be applied to private development and the public realm throughout the corridor. The streetscape treatment will include paving material, (ighting, stgnposLs and street (umiture (seating, trash receptacles and drinking founqins), which will be lowted in distind areas adjacent to the sidewaik tor easy pedestrian access, � The design of bulldings dfredly adjacent to the street will be an important part of the creation of a cohesive desiqn theme tor the streets in the area. A continuous street wall (occasionally (ntertupted to mainfain vlews o( the Bay►, is tdeal for th(s kind of street treatment. Buildings along Liverpool Road shall be built close to the street without too much variation in setbacks. This form will heip to prov(de contafnment to the street. Ample (enestration on the front face ot buildings will assist in creating a safe, inviting environment along the street. Flpure E - Bu�d-to T.ones . �'.

Setbacks greater than Ihe bulld-to Itne will be pertnitted if the result is a hard-surfaced outdoor seating area (i.e, reswurant pado), or a public restlng node along the street. � euildings along Liverpool Road must be designed In a manner such that they wn accommodate a range of uses over time. Cround•level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly visible, feature ample fenestration, be easily accessible from the street, (eature min(mum ceil(ng heights for ground floors of 3 metres, and be suitably arranged to accommodate such adivities as retail shops, studios, offices and Iiv(ng area. These ground-level rooms must be rnnstruded to the appropriate Building and Fire Code sWndards for commercfal-type uses. Signage for these 'shop-houses' must be � discreetly located and cons(stent with the architectural theme of the buiid(ng. To foster vartety and interest along the street, new development should be (reehold tenure, or a form of condominfum that cannot place restrictions on the commercial uses enmureged for the area. DeWiled streetscape guidelines are included in section C1.7 —'DeWfled Architectural and ' Landscape Guidelines' (to be completed during Part 2 of the Llverpool Road South Area Detailed Revlew� C1.4.6 Development withtn the Water(ront Use and Amenity Area Development and use of lands along the watets edge of Frenchman's Bay must embrace the ma�ne heritage of the area, and augment the waterfront promenade with publfc activity areas. Within the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area, tdentified on Figure A— Tertiary Plan, a variety of marine-related activities will be prominent, fnciuding marinas, yacht ciubs, mar(na-supportive facilities, mooring (acilities, the wate�(ront promenade and other publlc activiry areas such as public p(ers and public squares. As mentioned previously, additfonal uses such as residential, commercial, retail, and oHice uses, could be considered within the Watedront Use and Amenity Area, provided that detailed development proposals inrnrporate marine�related activittes and/or public activity areas. For example, pertn(ssion may be granted tor a restaurant withfn the area if it includes an outdoor patio or(ented towards lhe Bay and waterfronl promenade. All bufldings within of near the Watertront Use and Amenity Area must present prominent building faces towards the Bay as well as primary access roads. Rooftop equipment must be screened, and outbuildings and retuse areas must not be visible from publfc areas.
