002
Information Report No. 13-01 Page 2
when considering development applications within "Living Areas", regard shall be
had to, among other things,
• the achievement of compact urban form, including intensive residential, office,
retail, service and mixed uses along arterial roads and in conjunction with present
and potential transit facilities; and,
• the use of good urban design principles including, but not limited to, the
consolidation of special purpose commercial uses into nodes, with particular
emphasis on common intemal traffic circulation and restricted access to arterial
roads by means of service or collector roads, wherever possible;
3.2 Pickering Official Plan
designates the subject lands "Mixed Use Area — Mixed Corridor" within the Town
Centre Neighbourhood;
permissible uses within this designation include residential, the retailing of goods and
services, office restaurants, community, cultural and recreational uses, and special
purpose commercial uses;
this designation encourages uses to serve a broader area at a community scale and
intensity;
when establishing performance standards, restrictions and provisions for Mixed Use
Areas, City Council shall have particular regard to encouraging development in an
integrated manner for a wide variety of uses and purposes, and encourage
intensification over time, up to the maximum floor space indices outlined in the Plan;
Council shall ensure that Mixed Uses Areas are designated and developed consistent
with the community design provisions of the Official Plan (Chapters Nine and
Thirteen), and any development guidelines that may be established in the Town
Centre Neighbourhood;
the subject property falls within a "Detailed Review Area" that identifies areas within
a specific neighbourhood as priorities for the preparation of detailed land use,
transportation, design or other development guidelines;
in undertaking a review, City Council may, among other things, examine the specific
land use mix and arrangement, the scale and intensity of use, the transportation
network, community design requirements, and any other matters Council deems
necessary;
Kingston Road is identified as a "Type -B Arterial Road", designed to carry moderate
volumes of traffic at moderate speeds with some access restrictions;
Kingston Road is further identified as a "transit spine", where a higher level of transit
service is encouraged within the City's Urban Area;

individual properties, to local roads, and to other collector and arterial roads;

pedestrian -friendly, mixed use neighbourhood that will act as an extension to the
Downtown Core, especially east of Walnut Lane;
objectives for development within this precinct include:
• creating a mainstreet character along Kingston Road;

business and residential opportunities, and other land uses that benefit from being
in close proximity to the downtown;
