Report to
Council
Report Number: PLN 31-19
Date: December 16, 2019
From: Kyle Bentley
Director, City Development & CBO
Subject: Request to deviate from Civic Number Protocol set out the
Municipal Addressing Standard Operating Procedure:
Durham Live Development
File: D-9600
Recommendation:
1. That Council approve the request from Steve Apostolopoulos on behalf of Triple Properties
to permit civic numbers to be assigned to parcels of land that do not adhere to the Civic
Number Protocol set out in the City's Municipal Addressing Standard Procedure, and
authorize the use of numbers 888, 333 and 777 as municipal street numbers to the parcels
shown on the Proposed Municipal Address Plan provided as Appendix I to Report PLN 31-19.
Executive Summary: Council passed By-law 7686/19, the By-law to provide for the Civic
Numbering of Buildings and Properties in the City of Pickering, earlier this year. Its purpose is to
establish processes to assign street numbering that is consistent, predictable, and optimizes
emergency response times. In that By-law, the Director, City Development & CBO is authorized to
assign civic numbers to buildings/properties in accordance with the prescribed system for each lot
and concession in the municipality. The Director is not authorized to assign a number that does
not conform with this system.
Staff received a request from Steve Apostolopoulos on behalf of Triple Properties to assign street
numbers for select parcels of land within the Durham Live Development. The numbers have
special meaning to the Apostolopoulos family regarding gaming and filming activity intended to
occur on site.
Staff recommend Council grant the request by Steve Apostolopoulos for the three civic numbers
to be assigned to the parcels identified on Appendix I to this Report.
Financial Implications: No direct costs are will occur as a result of Council adopting the
recommendation of the report.

1. Introduction
The City Development Department received a request from Steve Apostolopoulos, on
behalf of Triple Properties, to allocate the following municipal addresses (civic numbers) to
three parcels within the Durham Live Development that are inconsistent with the provisions
of the Municipal Addressing Standard Operating Procedure (SOP):
• Number 888 — at the new Casino site is being constructed;
• Number 333 — at the proposed film studios site; and
• Number 777 — at a development lot, located south and across from the new Casino site.
For more perspective, please see the enclosed Proposed Municipal Address Plan
(Appendix I).
2. Background
By-law 7686/19 provides for the Civic Numbering of Buildings and Properties in the City of
Pickering. It stipulates that the Director of City Development shall assign a civic number to
every building or lot abutting or fronting on a street within the City, according to the
processes described in the current standard operating procedure titled "Municipal
Addresses".
The By-law 7686/19 stipulates that the Director, City Development & CBO shall only grant
approval of an application for a civic number change if certain conditions can be met,
including the requirement that the requested change to an existing number does not conflict
with the SOP or other sections of the By-law. Additionally, the By-law stipulates that
whenever City staff identifies the need to change the civic numbers on any street or portion
of a street, the Director, City Development shall seek Council approval. However, such a
change is intended to not conflict with the SOP.
As the By-law contains no provisions for the selection of civic numbers that conflict with the
prescribed numbering system for each lot and property's location on a road, this request
has been brought forward for Council's consideration.
3. Discussion
3.1 In terms of the current Municipal Addressing SOP, the addressing (numbering) of lots
follows an "odd and even" numbering format prescribed for specific road patterns in newly
registered plans of subdivision. Specifically, even numbers would be allocated on the north
and west side of roads, and odd numbers to the south and east side of roads. Diagrams
reflecting various street patterns (including odd shaped streets such as courts/cul-de-sacs)
with prescribed odd and even numbering formats have been incorporated in the Municipal
Addressing SOP.

Furthermore, addresses (civic number) for Range and Concession blocks are pre -assigned,
to ensure the number range within a particular area is sequential to adjacent developed
blocks and to prevent the repetition of address ranges in multiple neighbourhoods. For
example, for streets running north -south in Concession 1, the address range is set at
1501-2000, and for streets running east -west in Lot 15 the address range is set at
2001-2100.
The prescribed addressing formats ensure the application of a consistent and effective
approach to municipal addressing across the City, creates predictability in its interpretation,
and assist the public, municipality, utility companies and emergency services in service
delivery and way -finding.
3.2 The proposed address numbers (888, 333, and 777) for the new Durham Live development
fall outside the pre -assigned address range (2001-2100) for the particular geographic area,
do not follow a logical sequence, and could potentially set a precedent. However, staff
believe the civic number for this development warrants an exception to the SOP because:
(a) the Durham Live development is a unique landmark development in the City of
Pickering; and
(b) the proposed numbers are befitting to the gambling industry, reflecting the uniqueness
of the casino development and related uses, playing off the TriBro Studios name.
Also, since the assignment of these address numbers does not constitute a change to
existing addresses, the impact of this exception to the Municipal Addressing SOP on the
surrounding land owners would be insignificant because the lands to the east falls within the
Town and Ajax, while the lands immediately west and south of the subject parcels are also
part of the Durham Live lands.
4. Conclusion
Accordingly, it is recommended that Council grant an exception to the Municipal
Addressing SOP by approving the request received from Steve Apostolopoulos on behalf of
Triple Properties to allocate the municipal address numbers reflected on the enclosed
Conceptual Plan (Appendix I) to parcels within the Durham Live development.
