Adjournment Information Report to Planning & Development Committee Report Number: 01-21 Date: January 4, 2021 From: Catherine Rose, MCIP, RPP Chief Planner Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Draft Amendment 40 to the Pickering Official Plan Draft Zoning By-law Amendment Files: OPA 20-006/P and A 11/20 1.Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide information on City initiated official plan and zoning by-law amendment applications to address infill and replacement housing in established neighbourhood precincts. This report contains general information on the applicable Official Plan and other related policies, and zoning by-law provisions, and the purpose of the proposed amendments. This report also provides a status update on staff’s work related to the implementation of a municipal by-law to regulate the width of a driveway on public property, and a private tree by-law to protect trees on private property. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the applications, ask questions of clarification and identify any planning matters. This report is to be received and no decision is to be made at this time. Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee upon completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal. 2.Background On September 28, 2020, Council endorsed the recommendations of the Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study (the Infill Study). The Infill Study recommendations provided direction on the future evolution of the City’s identified established neighbourhood precincts (Neighbourhood Precincts) so that neighbourhood precinct character is properly considered through the development and building approval processes for infill and replacement housing. Also at that meeting, Council adopted Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts to support and enhance neighbourhood precinct characteristics and to assist staff, developers and the public to evaluate and prepare development or redevelopment applications. - 1 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 2 The Infill Study was prompted by the construction of an increasing number of houses, either as the result of a demolition and rebuild, or larger lots being severed and new homes built, that were significantly larger than existing adjacent houses. These new homes, commonly referred to as “monster homes”, created impacts in terms of privacy, shadow, and overlook for the neighbouring homes, and altered the streetscape within these parts of established residential areas of the City. A robust engagement process was undertaken throughout the Infill Study with active participation and feedback received from members of the public, the building community, and advisory committees of Council. The recommendations of the Infill Study included: • identifying “Established Neighbourhood Precinct Overlay Zones”, being the specific areas where proposed new official plan, zoning and other by-laws would apply; • defining “infill” and “replacement housing” in the Pickering Official Plan and Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520 and 3036; • proposing new official plan policies related to compatibility of infill and replacement housing to ensure that new development minimizes impacts related to privacy, overlook, shadowing and loss of open space; • defining “Front Entrance” in Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520 and 3036; • proposing new, or amended, zoning regulations for dwelling height, height of front entrance, dwelling depth, lot coverage, minimum and maximum front yard setback, maximum garage width, maximum driveway width, and minimum side yard setback for infill and replacement housing; • proposing the adoption of the Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts; • implementing a by-law to regulate the width of driveways within the public right-of-way; and • considering the implementation of a Private Tree Protection By-law. The recommendation to adopt the Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts was endorsed by Council at its meeting of September 28, 2020. This Information Report is the first step in the Planning Act process to amend the City’s Official Plan and zoning by-laws to implement the planning recommendations of the Infill Study. The recommendations to implement a by-law to regulate the width of driveways within the public right-of-way, and to consider the implementation of a Private Tree Protection By- law, are not Planning Act matters and are being addressed separately and concurrently with this process. Section 11, Other Tools, of this report, addresses the status of those processes. - 2 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 3 3. Lands Affected by the Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments The proposed Official Plan and zoning by-law amendments contain policies and regulations respectively that will apply to areas within the City identified as Established Neighbourhood Precincts. They are shown on the Location Map in Attachment #1 and on the Established Neighbourhood Precinct Maps in Attachment #2. There are certain key differences in the mapping of the Established Neighbourhood Precincts and the mapping shown in the Recommendations Report of August 2020 prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (SGL Report). The rationale for these key differences in the mapping is discussed below: • Bay Ridges Neighbourhood: The boundary of the Established Neighbourhood Precincts shown in Attachment #2 excludes properties that are within the Local Node designation at, and near, the intersections of Liverpool Road and Orchard Avenue and Liverpool Road and Krosno Boulevard. The provisions for infill and replacement housing are not intended to apply to areas of the City that are designated Mixed Use Areas, which have, or are intended to have the widest variety of uses and highest levels of activity in the City. The Mixed Use Areas – Local Node designation permits a variety of uses including residential, retailing of goods and services generally serving the needs of the surrounding neighbourhoods, offices and restaurants, community, cultural and recreational uses, community gardens and farmer’s markets. • Rougemount Neighbourhood: The boundary of the Established Neighbourhood Precinct in the Rougemount Neighbourhood has been altered from the recommended boundary in the SGL Report to include the south side of Twyn Rivers Drive west of Woodview Drive, both sides of Brimwood Court, and both sides of Woodview Drive. This is consistent with the criteria established in the Infill Study. • Village East Neighbourhood: The area along Guild Road and Royal Road in the Village East Neighbourhood shown as an Established Neighbourhood Precinct in the SGL Report, is designated as an Urban Residential Area, Medium Density Area in the City’s Official Plan. The provisions for infill and replacement housing are not intended to apply to areas of the City that are designated Medium Density, which have, or are intended to have, minimum and maximum net residential densities of over 30 and up to and including 80 dwellings per net hectare. As such, the originally proposed Established Neighbourhood Precinct in the Village East Neighbourhood has been removed. In addition, some minor corrections were made to the mapping to accurately reflect the existing Neighbourhood boundaries. 4. Proposed Official Plan Amendment 40 Appendix I to this Report is the Proposed Amendment 40 to the City of Pickering Official Plan. It introduces new policies in Chapter 3 – Land Use and Chapter 9 – Community Design, and new definitions to Chapter 15 – Implementation, to provide direction on the requirements for development of infill and replacement housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts. More specifically, key proposed amendments to the Official Plan add: - 3 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 4 • Definitions for “Infill Dwelling” and “Replacement Dwelling”; • Policies that require that when the City considers applications for the development of Infill or Replacement Dwellings within an identified Established Neighbourhood Precinct, such development complements and is compatible with the character of the Established Neighbourhood Precinct with respect to: • minimizing impacts associated with privacy, overlook and shadowing on neighbouring properties; • reinforcing the established patterns of existing side yard setbacks and separation distances between dwellings as observed from the street; • reinforcing the established pattern of existing lot widths and front yard setbacks on the street; • promoting garages and carports to be located flush with or behind the front main walls of the dwelling; • maximizing front yard landscaping; • encouraging the preservation of existing mature trees; and • identifying that the Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts will prevail in the event of a conflict with any Development Guideline within the Compendium Document. 5. Proposed Informational Revision Number 28 Appendix Il to this Report is the Proposed Informational Revision 28 to the City of Pickering Official Plan. The purpose of the Proposed Informational Revision is to add a layer identifying the boundaries of Established Neighbouthood Precincts to the neighbourhood maps contained within Chapter 12 – Urban Neighbourhoods, of the Pickering Official Plan. In particular, the following neighbourhood maps are proposed to be revised: • Map 11: Neighbourhood 1: Rosebank; • Map 12: Neighbourhood 2: West Shore; • Map 13: Neighbourhood 3: Bay Ridges; • Map 15: Neighbourhood 5: Rougemount; • Map 16: Neighbourhood 6: Woodlands; • Map 17: Neighbourhood 7: Dunbarton; • Map 20: Neighbourhood 10: Highbush; and • Map 22: Neighbourhood 12: Liverpool. 6. Proposed City Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment (A 11/20) The majority of the subject lands within the identified Established Neighbourhood Precincts are currently zoned as “Detached Dwelling, Third Density Zone – R3”, “Detached Dwelling, Fourth Density Zone – R4”, or “Multiple Family Dwelling, First Density Zone – RMl” or a site-specific zone for residential dwellings including single detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings, and single attached dwellings (street townhouse dwellings). Uses permitted in the “R3” and “R4” zones are single detached dwellings. Uses permitted in the “RM1” zone include single detached dwellings, semi- detached dwellings and duplex dwellings. - 4 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 5 The City Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to rezone all of the lands within the Established Neighbourhood Precincts to an “Established Neighbourhood Precinct Overlay Zone” category (see Draft Zoning By-law Amendments, Appendices lll, lV and V). The proposed amendments will not change the permitted uses within the zones. The amendment will consist of the following: • Adding new definitions for: • Dwelling Depth; • Dwelling Height; • Dwelling Width; • Front Entrance; • Infill Dwelling; • Lot Coverage; • Replacement Dwelling; and • Setback; • Adding new provisions for: • Dwelling Depth (maximum); • Dwelling Height (maximum); • Driveway Width (maximum); • Front Entrance (maximum elevation); • Front Yard Setback (maximum and minimum); • Garage or Carport (maximum width); • Interior Garage Size (minimum); • Lot Coverage (maximum); and • Side Yard Setback for Infill Dwelling (minimum); • Adding new Transitional Provisions which address how Planning Act applications will be reviewed and addressed through the transition period between the adoption of this by-law amendment and any potential appeal process. Existing zoning provisions that deal with matters other than what is listed above, will continue to apply. 7.0 Policy Framework 7.1. Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development and sets the policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land. It also supports the provincial goal to enhance the quality of life for all Ontarians. The PPS identifies that municipal official plans are the most important vehicle for the implementation of the PPS and for achieving comprehensive, integrated and long-term planning. - 5 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 6 Among other policies, the PPS establishes that healthy, livable and safe communities are sustained by promoting efficient development and land use patterns over the long-term (PPS 1.1.1 a), accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential and other uses to meet long-term needs (PPS 1.1.1 b) and promoting cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs (PPS 1.1.1 e). In addition, the PPS requires that planning authorities take into account existing building stock or areas when identifying appropriate locations to accommodate the supply and range of housing options through intensification and redevelopment (PPS 1.1.3.3). The PPS also promotes appropriate development standards that facilitate redevelopment while avoiding or mitigating risks to public health and safety (PPS 1.1.3.4) and directing the development of new housing towards locations where appropriate levels of infrastructure and public service facilities are or will be available to support current and projected needs (PPS 1.4.3 c). The proposed amendments seek to manage new construction of dwellings within existing residential areas that occur through gentle intensification of established neighbourhood precincts. As such, the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are consistent with the PPS. 7.2. A Place to Grow, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2019 A Place to Grow, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2019 (A Place to Grow) builds on the PPS and establishes a unique land use planning framework for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) that supports the achievement of complete communities, a thriving economy, a clean and healthy environment, and social equity. In particular, forecasted growth to the horizon of A Place to Grow is to be allocated based on, among other things, directing the vast majority of growth to settlement areas that have a delineated built boundary (policy 2.2.1.2 a) i)) and that intensification will be encouraged throughout the delineated built-up area (policy 2.2.2.3 c)) while considering the range and mix of housing options and densities of the existing housing stock (policy 2.2.6.2 c)). The proposed amendments seek to manage new construction of dwellings within existing residential areas that occur through gentle intensification of established neighbourhood precincts. As such, the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are consistent with A Place to Grow. 7.3. Durham Region Official Plan Lands identified within the Established Neighbourhood Precincts are designated as “Living Areas” in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands within the “Living Areas” designation shall be used predominantly for housing purposes, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments conform to the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan. - 6 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 7 7.4. Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan designates the lands within the Established Neighbourhood Precincts as “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Areas”. The “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density” designation include areas intended primarily for housing and related uses and activities, and permits a maximum net residential density of 30 dwellings per net hectare. An objective of the City’s Official Plan is to protect and enhance the character of established neighbourhoods and to have consideration for such matters as building height, yard setback, lot coverage, access to sunlight, parking provisions and traffic implications in establishing performance standards. Proposed Amendment 40 is intended to further strengthen the current policies in the Plan that pertain to neighbourhood character protection and enhancement. The Draft Zoning By-law Amendments conform to the policies of the Pickering Official Plan. 7.4.1 Neighbourhood Development Guidelines There are three Neighbourhood Development Guidelines that apply to areas subject to the proposed Established Neighbourhood Precincts and their associated zoning by-law provisions. They are the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines, the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines, and the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Each of these Neighbourhood Development Guidelines and how they are impacted by the proposed Established Neighbourhood Precinct zoning by-law provisions is discussed separately in the following sections. 7.4.1.1 Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines Various portions of the lands to which the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines apply, are within Established Neighbourhood Precincts. The Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines establish three distinct Design Precincts which limit the built form to the provision of single detached dwellings or semi-detached dwellings (in Design Precinct No. 3 only). In addition, the three Design Precincts are distinguished from each other by virtue of the restrictions associated with lot frontage and lot depth. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment does not conflict with the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. 7.4.1.2 Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines Lands south of Commerce Street, north of Annland Street and west of Liverpool Road, are within an area to which the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines apply, as well as within a proposed Established Neighbourhood Precinct. - 7 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 8 In particular, the area defined as the “Established Built Area” within the Tertiary Plan – Liverpool Waterfront Node, overlaps with the Bay Ridges Established Neighbourhood Precinct, identified in Attachment #2. The Established Built Area consists primarily of the historic Village of Fairport. The intent of the Liverpool Waterfront Node Guidelines is to protect the character of the historic village while providing an opportunity for revitalizing a “village” function by permitting activities such as tearooms, craft shops, art studios, and offices. Any additional uses not currently permitted in the zoning by-law would be subject to the consideration of a site-specific rezoning application. Appendix A: Detailed Architectural, Landscape and Streetscape Guidelines of the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines, has also been reviewed to ensure that these guidelines do not conflict with the proposed zoning provisions for Established Neighbourhood Precincts. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment does not conflict with the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines. 7.4.1.3 Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines All of the lands to which the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines apply, are within a proposed Established Neighbourhood Precinct. The Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines establish development and design guidelines which limit the built form to the provision of single detached dwellings, as well as restrictions associated with lot frontage, lot depth, front yard, side yard and flankage yard setbacks, dwelling height (maximum of 9.0 metres, calculated from the average grade at the front of the dwelling) and direction regarding garage projections. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment does not conflict with the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. 7.5. Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520 and 3036 The lands proposed to be rezoned by this amendment are subject to parent Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520 and 3036. Attachment #3 shows the current zoning within the proposed Established Neighbourhood Precincts. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendments will create an overlay zone with provisions that will assist in ensuring that new built form is compatible with the existing built form. The proposed zoning provisions are listed in Section 6 of this report and are set out in the Draft Zoning By-law Amendments in Appendices lll, lV, and V. The proposed zoning by-law conforms with and implements the Proposed Amendment 40, and is consistent with the Council adopted Urban Design Guidelines for Infill & Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts. - 8 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 9 8. Notice and Comments Received Notice of this public meeting, to be hosted on January 4, 2020, has been placed on the Community Page in the December 10, 2020 and December 17, 2020 editions of the News Advertiser. Notice has been mailed to all land owners within the Established Neighbourhood Precincts and to all land owners within 150 metres of the affected lands and is posted on the City’s website. In addition, all individuals and organizations listed on the Interested Parties List for the Infill Study were notified of this public meeting. At the time of writing this Report, no comments have been received from the public. 8.1 Agency and City Departments Comments The Draft Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments were circulated to the Region of Durham, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the City’s Engineering and Municipal Law Enforcement Departments. At the time of writing this Report, no comments have been received from the noted agencies and City Departments. 9. Next Steps Following the public meeting, all comments received either through the public meeting or through written submissions, will be considered by Planning staff in its review and analysis of the proposed amendments. At such time as input from the public, agencies and departments have been received and assessed, a recommendation report will be brought forward to the Planning & Development Committee for consideration. 10. Procedural information 10.1 General • written comments regarding this proposal should be directed to the City Development Department; • oral comments may be made at the Electronic Statutory Public Meeting; • all comments received will be noted and used as input to a Planning Report prepared by the City Development Department for a subsequent meeting of Council or a Committee of Council; • any member of the public who wishes to reserve the option to appeal Council’s decision must provide comments to the City before Council adopts any by-law for this proposal; and • any member of the public who wishes to be notified of Council’s decision regarding this proposal must request such in writing to the City Clerk. 10.2 Official Plan Amendment Approval Authority The Region of Durham may exempt certain local official plan amendments from Regional approval if such applications are determined to be locally significant, and do not exhibit matters of Regional and/or Provincial interest. At this time, the Region has not yet determined whether this official plan amendment application is exempt from Regional Approval. - 9 - Information Report No. 01-21 Page 10 11. Other Tools In addition to Council’s direction to staff to prepare official plan and zoning by-law amendments to implement the recommendations of the Infill Study, Council directed staff to implement a driveway width by-law (a municipal by-law) to regulate the width of a driveway on public property, and to consider implementing a private tree by-law (municipal by-law) to protect trees on private property. The sections below provide an update on that work. 11.1 Driveway Width By-law for Public Property In accordance with the September 28, 2020 direction of Council, staff has initiated the process to implement a driveway width by-law to regulate the width of a driveway within the public right-of-way. Public right-of-way refers to the area of a property located between the curb/edge of pavement and the sidewalk/private property line. Through such a by-law, the width of the portion of the driveway on public property is to be limited to a maximum of 6.0 metres for those driveways within the Established Neighbourhood Precincts. Consultation with internal departments including Engineering Services and Municipal Law Enforcement is underway. 11.2 Private Tree By-law In accordance with the September 28, 2020 direction of Council, staff has initiated the process to investigate the details and implications of a Private Tree Protection By-law. Such a by-law could include criteria to regulate the removal or injury of trees on private property, tree protection measures for existing trees where development is proposed nearby, as well as compensation measures to ensure the provision of new trees or, as a last resort, financial compensation to the City when trees are removed. Consultation with internal departments including Engineering Services and Municipal Law Enforcement is underway. 12.

Location: The Amendment applies to lands within Established Neighbourhood Precincts to be identified on the following neighbourhood maps within the Pickering Official Plan: • Map 11: Neighbourhood 1: Rosebank; • Map 12: Neighbourhood 2: West Shore; • Map 13: Neighbourhood 3: Bay Ridges; • Map 15: Neighbourhood 5: Rougemount; • Map 16: Neighbourhood 6: Woodlands; • Map 17: Neighbourhood 7: Dunbarton; • Map 20: Neighbourhood 10: Highbush; and • Map 22: Neighbourhood 12: Liverpool. The Established Neighbourhood Precincts boundaries were determined through the Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study which included a robust and comprehensive consultation and engagement process. The precinct boundaries are primarily based on the characteristics of: lot size, age of dwellings, the ”footprint” of homes relative to the size of the lot, and areas within established neighbourhoods where an increased frequency of construction of infill and replacement housing was observed. Basis: On September 28, 2020 Council endorsed the recommendations of the Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study (the Infill Study) and adopted the Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts. The recommendations of the Infill Study provide direction for the preparation of appropriate planning implementation tools to facilitate a sensitive transition between existing houses and new construction occurring in certain parts of the City’s established neighbourhoods. The Infill Study was prompted by the construction of an increasing number of houses that were significantly larger than existing adjacent houses creating impacts to privacy, shadow, and overlook for the neighbouring homes and altering the streetscape within parts of established residential areas of the City.

Basis: In reviewing the informational text contained in the Official Plan, various technical revisions have been determined to be necessary and appropriate to assist users with understanding the changes to the Official Plan text implemented through the associated Official Plan Amendment. Proposed Revision: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby revised by: 1. Adding Established Neighbourhood Precincts and their associated boundaries to the following Neighbourhood Maps in Chapter 12 – Urban Neighbourhoods, as illustrated on Schedule “A”, attached to this Informational Revision: - 18 - Proposed Informational Revision 28 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 2 (a) Map 11: Neighbourhood 1: Rosebank; (b) Map 12: Neighbourhood 2: West Shore; (c) Map 13: Neighbourhood 3: Bay Ridges; (d) Map 15: Neighbourhood 5: Rougemount; (e) Map 16: Neighbourhood 6: Woodlands; (f) Map 17: Neighbourhood 7: Dunbarton; (g) Map 20: Neighbourhood 10: Highbush; and (h) Map 22: Neighbourhood 12: Liverpool. 2.

Property Location and Description The subject lands are located on the east side of Brock Road, south of Usman Road and north of Finch Avenue within the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject lands have a total area of approximately 5.0 hectares and consist of a developable portion having an area of approximately 1.3 hectares and valleylands having an area of approximately 3.7 hectares. The surrounding land uses include (see Air Photo Map, Attachments #2): North: Across Usman Road, is the Pickering Islamic Centre, a residential subdivision consisting of detached and townhouse dwellings, and a village green (Usman Green). East: East Duffins Creek and associated valleylands, and the TransCanada Trail network. - 80 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 2 South: West Duffins Creek and associated valleylands, and further south are large lots containing detached dwellings fronting onto the north side of Finch Avenue. West: Across Brock Road is an established residential subdivision consisting of detached dwellings and the Brock Ridge Community Park 3. Background In 2010, Council approved a site-specific rezoning application, submitted by 2143087Ontario Ltd. (Palwinder), subject to an “(H)” Holding provision to facilitate the development of the westerly portion of the developable lands, referred to as ‘Phase 1 Lands’, for a mixed-use development consisting of a 3-storey office building with ground-floor retail and 12 live-work townhouse units. The valleylands associated with the Duffins Creek were rezoned from a Greenbelt Zone “G” to an Open Space – Hazard Lands Zone “OS-HL” and were to be conveyed to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Subsequently, the subject lands were sold to Fortress Munir 2013 Ltd. (“Fortress”). In 2016 a site plan agreement between the City and the new landowner was executed for the Phase 1 lands; the “(H)” Holding Symbol was removed; and building permit applications were submitted. However, the building permit applications were later abandoned by Fortress. Also in 2016, Fortress submitted applications for zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of condominium to facilitate the development of the rear developable portion (‘Phase 2 Lands’) of the subject lands for a common element condominium consisting of 25 townhouse units fronting onto an internal private road. Following the Statutory Public meeting, held on November 14, 2016, the subject lands were acquired by Brock Road Duffins Forest Inc., and the processing of the applications for the Phase 2 Lands was put on hold (see Previously Submitted Conceptual Plan by Fortress Munir 2013 Ltd., Attachment #3). In July 2017, Brock Road Duffins Forest Inc. submitted a revised proposal for all of the developable lands, which proposed a residential condominium consisting of 39 townhouse units with parking at the front of the units fronting onto an internal private road, and 20 rear lane townhouse units. A Statutory Public meeting for this proposal was held on March 5, 2018. However, these applications were later withdrawn (see Previously Submitted Conceptual Plan by Brock Road Duffins Forest Inc., Attachment #4). 4. Applicant’s Proposal Brock Road Duffins Forest Inc. has submitted applications for an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate a high-density residential condominium development within the developable portion of the subject lands, consisting of a 20-storey apartment building containing 307 dwelling units, 9 street townhouse units and 64 stacked townhouse units (see Submitted Conceptual Site Plan, Attachments #5). The applicant has submitted an application for Draft Plan of Subdivision to create a single development block. The balance of the subject lands, containing a portion of the valleylands for the West Duffins Creek and the associated buffer is to be conveyed to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) for long term protection and preservation as a natural area (see Submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #6). - 81 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 3 The proposed Official Plan Amendment seeks to increase the maximum permitted residential density within Block 1. The Zoning By-law Amendment is intended to rezone Block 1 to an appropriate residential zone category and establish appropriate development standards. The balance of the subject lands is proposed to be rezoned to an appropriate open space zone category. The proposed apartment building (Building A) is to be located at the southeast corner of Brock Road and Usman Road and will consist of 2 towers connected by a 4-storey podium (see Figure 1 below). Tower 1 will be the tallest portion of the building with a maximum height of 20-storeys and will be located at the southwest corner of Block 1 adjacent to Brock Road. Tower 2 is proposed to be a maximum height of 6-storeys, sited parallel to Usman Road. The units within the apartment building will have a balcony or an at-grade patio as a private outdoor amenity space. Figure 1 Submitted Conceptual Rendering On the easterly portion of Block 1, the applicant is proposing 9 street townhouse units (Building B) and 64 stacked townhouse units (Buildings C and D). The street townhouses will be 3-storeys in height. These units will have a dedicated driveway and attached private garage providing 2 parking spaces per unit, which will be accessed directly from the private road. Private rear yard outdoor amenity space will be provided for these units, which will abut the rear yards of the existing detached dwellings to the north fronting Saffron Drive. - 82 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 4 The stacked townhouse units are proposed to have 4 functional floors but will appear to be 3.5-storeys in height. The first level of the townhouses is located partially below grade and provide bungalow units having pedestrian access from an at grade private walkway. These units will have a private sunken patio as an outdoor amenity area. The second level units are also bungalows. These units will have a balcony as their private outdoor amenity area. The third and fourth levels are back-to-back 2-storey units. These units will have a rooftop private patio and balconies as their outdoor amenity area. The second and third-floor units will be accessed from a mutual vestibule, which has external pedestrian access from the private walkway. Parking for the stacked townhouse units will be located within the underground parking garage. Vehicular access to the proposed development will be provided through a private road, accessed from the south side of Usman Road. The internal private road will provide access to a 2-level underground parking garage, surface parking areas, private driveways, and a loading space. The table below summarizes the key details of the proposal: Total Gross Floor Area Buildings A – 21,867 square metres (Apartments) Building B – 1,662 square metres (Street Townhouses) Building C and D – 6,414 square metres (Stacked Townhouses) Total Number of Units 380 units (307 apartment units, 9 street townhouse units and 64 stacked townhouse units) Density 290 units per net hectare Floor Space Index 2.28 No. of Storeys and Building Heights Building A – 20-storeys (61.6 metres and 66.6 metres to the top of mechanical penthouse) Building B – 3-storeys (10.4 metres) Buildings C, D, and E – 3.5-storeys (12.6 metres to the top the roof) Unit Types Buildings A – 186 1-bedroom units, 97 2-bedroom units, 24 3-bedroom units Building B – 9 3-bedroom units Buildings C and D – 64 2-bedroom units Vehicular Parking Resident – 405 spaces Visitor – 96 spaces Total – 502 spaces Vehicle Parking Ratios 1.0 space per apartment unit 1.25 spaces per stacked townhouse unit 2.0 spaces per street townhouse unit Visitor – 0.25 spaces per unit - 83 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 5 Bicycle Parking 218 spaces Amenity Area Indoor – 617 square metres Outdoor – 1,152 square metres (rooftop outdoor amenity and at grade central outdoor landscaped amenity area) Total – 1,769 square metres The development will be subject to site plan approval. 5. Policy Framework 5.1 Region of Durham Official Plan The subject lands are designated as “Living Areas” with a “Regional Corridor” overlay in the Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP). Lands within the Living Areas designation are predominately intended for housing purposes and limited office and commercial uses. In the consideration of development proposals, regard shall be had to achieving a compact urban form, including intensive residential, office, retail and service, and mixed uses along arterial roads, in conjunction with present and potential transit facilities. A portion of the subject lands associated with the West Duffins Creek tributary is also designated "Major Open Space Areas" with key natural heritage and/or hydrologic features at the southeasterly property line. Brock Road is identified as a Regional Corridor in the ROP. Regional Corridors shall be planned and developed in accordance with the underlying land use designation, as higher-density mixed-use areas, supporting higher-order transit services and pedestrian-oriented design. Regional Corridors are intended to support an overall, minimum long-term density target of 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index (FSI) of 2.5, with a wide variety of building forms, generally mid-rise in height, with some higher buildings, as detailed in municipal official plans. Brock Road is designated as a Type ‘A’ Arterial Road and High-Frequency Transit Network in the ROP. Type 'A' Arterial Roads are designed to carry large volumes of traffic at moderate to high speeds, have some access restrictions and generally have a right-of-way width ranging from 36 to 45 metres. Roads designated High-Frequency Transit Network is recognized for planned High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, or buses in mixed traffic, with transit signal priority at major intersections and other measures to ensure fast and reliable transit service. Development along High-Frequency Transit Networks shall provide for complementary higher density and mixed uses at an appropriate scale and context, buildings oriented towards the street to reduce walking distances, facilities which support non-auto modes of transportation, and limited surface parking and the potential redevelopment of surface parking. The proposal generally conforms with the policies of the ROP. - 84 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 6 5.2 Pickering Official Plan The subject lands are within the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood and are designated “Urban Residential Areas – Medium Density Areas” and “Open Space System – Natural Areas”. The “Medium Density” designation is intended primarily for residential uses and permits a maximum residential density of over 30 and up to and including 80 units per net hectare. The permitted maximum floor space index (FSI) is up to and including 2.5 FSI. The “Natural Areas” designation is intended primarily for conservation, environmental protection, preservation, education and passive recreational uses. The Brock Ridge Neighbourhood policies encourage a variety of housing forms. The policies also state that in the review of development applications situated north of the West Duffins Creek, east of Brock Road, City Council shall acknowledge the landowners’ interest in maximizing the developable area of the property. Through the processing of the previous development applications, the limits of development have been determined in consultation with the previous landowners, the City and TRCA. The applicant is requesting to amend the Official Plan to re-designate the Block 1 lands to “Urban Residential Areas – High Density” with a site-specific exception to permit a maximum residential density of 290 units per net hectare. 5.3 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 design objectives indicate that development in the Precinct must provide: • a range of housing types including detached, semi-detached, townhomes, and multi-unit dwellings; • streetscape and architectural designs that are aesthetically pleasing, diverse, encourage social interaction within a neighbourhood and support safe environments; and • development that embraces the natural environment. The Precinct is divided into 5 Development Areas with the intent to establish the development of a varied scale throughout the Precinct. The subject property is delineated as Development Area 5 on the Tertiary Plan. Area 5 is intended to accommodate multi-unit, multi-floor buildings. Building heights permitted in Area 5 ranges from a minimum of 4-storeys to a maximum of 8-storeys. Variations to a minimum and maximum building heights may be considered if it can be demonstrated that the objectives of the guidelines will be achieved. The applicant’s proposal will be reviewed in detail to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood policies and the relevant Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines. - 85 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 7 5.4 Duffins Precinct Environmental Servicing Plan In 2013, Council endorsed the recommendations of the Duffins Precinct Southern Lands Environmental Servicing Plan Update, Final Report (ESP Update) dated November 2012, prepared by Sernas Associates (now GHD). The ESP Update recommends detailed technical strategies to address water resource issues including the protection of wetland features, hydrogeology and water balance, erosion sensitivity, aquatic habitat and headwater conditions, stormwater management strategies, phasing of stormwater facilities, and required monitoring. The applicant’s proposal will be reviewed in detail to ensure compliance with the technical requirements and recommendations of the ESP Update. 5.5 Zoning By-law 3036 The subject lands are currently zoned, “RH/MU-3” – Multi-Residential/Mixed Use, “OS-HL” – Open Space Hazard Lands, and “G” – Greenbelt Conservation, within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended. Mixed commercial, office, and multiple residential uses are permitted within the “RH/MU-3” Zone. The “OS-HL” and “G” Zones restrict the use to recreational uses, preservation and conservation activities, and/or buildings or structures designed to be used for flood and erosion control, resource management, pedestrian trail, and parks and recreation purposes. The applicant has requested that the developable portion of the subject lands be rezoned to an appropriate residential zone category to facilitate the proposal. As part of this rezoning lands currently zoned “G” will be rezoned to "OS-HL" to ensure that all of the valleylands that are to be conveyed will be an appropriate open space category, to the satisfaction of the TRCA. 6. Comments Received 6.1 Public Comments On September 24, 2020, an Electronic Public Open House meeting was hosted by the City Development Department to inform area residents about the development proposal. The City advertised the meeting by installing 2 development signs on the property, and a notice was distributed by mail to area residents within 150 metres. The radius was further extended in consultation with the local and Regional Councillors. A total of 12 individuals participated in the meeting. The notice of the Statutory Public Meeting regarding these applications was provided through a mailing of all properties within 150 metres of the subject lands and any person who requested further notification. Also, 2 development notice signs were installed on the subject lands providing notice of this meeting to members of the public. The following is a list of key comments and concerns that were verbally expressed by area residents at the Electronic Public Open House meeting and written submissions received from 16 residents: • commented that they support the proposed development; • commented that the proposal will increase traffic congestion on local roads within the neighbourhood and along Brock Road, particularly during rush hours; - 86 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 8 • commented that the increase in vehicle traffic will result in additional noise throughout the neighbourhood; • commented that Usman Road cannot accommodate the additional vehicles generated by this development; • commented that the peak times chosen in the submitted transportation study do not adequately capture the impact on the neighbourhood and do not address the mosque programming, which often falls outside of peak commuting times; • commented that the proposal will decrease their property value; • suggested that the lands should be directly accessed from Brock Road, not Usman Road; • commented that the proposed building height and density are not appropriate at this location, and are not compatible with the surrounding established low-density neighbourhood to the north; • commented that the proposed buildings would create adverse privacy and shadow impacts on the adjacent dwellings; • commented that Usman Park cannot accommodate additional residents; • concerned that there is insufficient outdoor amenity space within this neighbourhood to accommodate the proposed future residents; • commented that the additional vehicles as a result of the proposal pose an increased risk to children and pedestrians within the neighbourhood and at the existing park along Usman Road; • commented that the proposal will result in a negative impact on the adjacent natural area; • questioned if property owners who paid a premium for a lot adjacent to a natural area are going to be compensated; and • concerned that the proposed number of parking spaces for residents and visitors is insufficient to support the development and will worsen existing parking issues within the surrounding neighbourhood. The City has also received a petition signed by 308 individuals residing within and outside of Pickering expressing that the proposed development: • will result in a negative privacy impact on adjacent dwellings; • cannot be supported by the existing Usman Green and should be required to have a new park dedicated for the new residents generated from the development; • will lead to significant traffic congestion along Usman Road and increase the risk of pedestrian and vehicle accidents within the existing neighbourhood; • will result in safety issues for existing residents; and • will cause a negative impact on the adjacent open space and natural areas. 6.2 Agency Comments 6.2.1 Region of Durham • the proposed applications support new higher density housing at the periphery of a neighbourhood, compact development efficiently using existing infrastructure, and contributes to the Region’s intensification targets, and conforms to the Regional Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan; - 87 - Information Report No. 02-21 Page 9 • the Region has no objection to the proposed amendments to the City of Pickering Official Plan and Zoning By-law to implement the Draft Plan of Subdivision, subject to the conditions provided;

Part of Lot 31, Concession 2 (450 Finch Avenue) 1. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information regarding applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment, submitted by Medallion Developments (Pickering Finch) Ltd., to facilitate a residential development. This report contains general information on the applicable Official Plan and other related policies, and identifies matters raised to date. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholde rs to understand the proposal. Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the applications, ask questions of clarification, and identify any planning issues. This report is for information and no decision on these applications are being made at this time. Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee upon completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal. 2. Property Location and Description The subject property is located on the north side of Finch Avenue, west of Rosebank Road, and south of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) corridor within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The property has an area of approximately 2.03 hectares with frontages along Finch Avenue, Rougewalk Drive, and Mahogany Court. The site contains a 2-storey stone dwelling (identified as a potentially significant heritage resource), a shed and a barn at the southeast corner of the property, which are proposed to be demolished. The abutting property to the east (441 Mahogany Court) is subject to an easement that provides access to the subject property onto Finch Avenue. The remaining lands are vacant with clusters of trees scattered throughout the site (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #2). - 98 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 2 Surrounding land uses include: North: East: South: West: To the north is the York/Durham truck sanitary sewer, the CPR corridor and the Enbridge Pipeline. Immediately to the east is an established residential subdivision consisting of single and semi-detached dwellings fronting onto Rougewalk Drive and Mahogany Court. Across Finch Avenue is a Hydro Corridor. Immediately to the west are vacant lands, owned by Marshall Homes. In June 2020, Council approved applications for Zoning By-law Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision and Draft Plan of Condominium for these lands to permit a residential common element condominium development consisting of 42 lots for detached dwellings. The City is currently reviewing an application for Site Plan Approval for the lands. 3.Applicant’s Proposal The applicant has submitted applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a residential development consisting of 31 lots for detached dwellings fronting onto the extensions of Rougewalk Drive and Mahogany Court (see Submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #3). Lot/Block Number Land Area Proposed Use Lots 1 to 31 1.44 hectares 31 lots for detached dwellings fronting onto the extensions of Rougewalk Drive and Mahogany Court having lot frontages ranging between 11.0 metres and 15.1 metres. Part Blocks 32, 33 and 34 0.07 hectares Proposed part blocks to be consolidated with part blocks within the adjacent Registered Plan of Subdivision to the east, to form 3 new lots for detached dwellings. Block 35 0.001 hectares Environmental lands to be conveyed to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Block 36 0.08 hectares Conveyance of a road widening along the entire frontage of Finch Avenue and daylight triangles to the Region of Durham. Roads 0.44 hectares Conveyance of municipal roads (extension of Rougewalk Drive and Mahogany Court) to the City. Total 2.03 hectares As part of the proposal, the applicant is proposing to extend Rougewalk Drive further west intersecting with Finch Avenue, and extending Mahogany Court to connect to the extension of Rougewalk Drive. - 99 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 3 4. Policy Framework 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as “Living Areas”. The “Living Areas” designation shall be used predominately for housing purposes. The Plan also states that lands within the Living Areas designation must be developed in compact urban form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along an arterial road. Finch Avenue is designated as a Type ‘B’ Arterial Road. Type ‘B’ Arterial Roads are designed to carry large volumes of traffic at moderate to high speeds, have some access restrictions and generally have a right-of-way width ranging from 30 to 36 metres. Type ‘B’ Arterial Roads generally promote higher density land uses with shared or combined access. The proposal generally conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 4.2 Pickering Official Plan The subject lands are located within the Rouge Park Ne ighbourhood and are designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area”. This designation primarily provides for residential or related uses at a maximum net residential density of up to and including 30 units per net hectare. The proposal will result in a residential density of approximately 21.2 units per net hectare, which falls within the permitted density range. A portion of the subject site along the north property line is designated “Open Space System – Natural Areas”. The Natural Areas land use designation is further identified as “Significant Woodlands” and “Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor”. An Environmental Impact Study is required for any proposed development within 120 metres of a key natural heritage or key hydrologic feature. The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate the natural heritage features and hydrologic features, determine the minimum required vegetation protection zones, and determine the site’s development limits to prevent potential negative impacts from the proposed development on the natural heritage features. The Official Plan states that in establishing performance standards, regard shall be had to protecting and enhancing the character of established neighbourhoods by considering matters such as building height, yard setbacks, lot coverage, access to sunlight, parking provisions and traffic implications. The Official Plan also states that where new development is proposed within an existing neighbourhood or established area, City Council shall encourage building design that reinforces and complements existing built patterns such as form, massing, height proportion, position relative to the street, and building area to site ratio. The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Policies discourage designs that require the use of reverse frontages, berms, and significant noise attenu ation fencing adjacent to Finch Avenue. The policies also require new developments to have regard for the Rouge Park Management Plan and encourage the retention of environmentally sensitive lands. - 100 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 4 The applicant’s proposal will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the Official Plan and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Policies during further processing of the applications. 4.3 Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines are intended to ensure lands within the neighbourhood are developed in a cohesive, well-designed neighbourhood. In the review of development proposals, the following broad goals are to be considered:  develop a strong visual and physical relationship with Finch Avenue through enhanced flankage elevations featuring ample glazing, entrances and architectural detailing ;  maintain a connection with surrounding natural areas and the existing neighbourhood, which can be accomplished through careful design and placement of internal road s, walkways and siting of buildings; and  residential areas to feature a variety of housing types of high-quality design arranged on efficient street patterns. The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Map and Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines – Tertiary Plan proposes a future westerly extension of Rougewalk Drive connecting to Finch Avenue. The proposed extension is shown extending west through the subject property and continuing through the lands further to the west. The applicant is proposing the westerly extension of Rougewalk Drive intersecting with Finch Avenue through the subject property only, and extending Mahogany Court to connect to the extension of Rougewalk Drive. For ground-oriented dwellings (detached, semi-detached, townhomes, etc.), attention to a dwelling’s relationship with the street is important. Accordingly, the design should consider the following principals:  homes should feature prominent main entrances that are easily identifiable and visible from the street;  homes should provide windows and doorways at the front face of the house to provide “eyes on the street”;  homes should offer an amenity area that accommodates opportunity for street-side interaction; and  garages should be scaled and integrated with the design of a house such that it is not the dominant aspect of the home. The proposed development will be reviewed in detail to ensure the requirements of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood policies and the applicable Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines have been maintained. 4.4 Potential Heritage Home The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines – Tertiary Plan identifies a potential heritage home located on the subject property. To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant is proposing to demolish the building. - 101 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 5 A Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER), prepared by Parslow Heritage Consultancy Inc., was submitted in support of the applications. The report identifies the potential heritage home as a stone cottage designed with Neoclassical detailing, a style that is common in Ontario and indicative of 1800 to 1860 architectural styling. The home has a ground floor area of 88 square metres, with a building height of 7.0 metres. The home is considered to be in fair condition. The exterior and interior of the home have been subject to vandalism, and interior renovations have been made to the first and second floors. The exterior stonework of the home shows signs of past repair. Overall, the report concludes that the modifications made to the interior of the home do not appear to have significantly impacted the structural integrity of the building. The report states that though the use of stone as a primary building material was common in the mid-ninetieth century. This stone cottage is one of a few examples remaining in the City of Pickering. The property meets the criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act to be classified as a heritage resource of value or interest, as the structure is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of the Hamlet of Cherrywood. The CHER concludes that the cultural landscape surrounding the stone cottage has been compromised and that the rural landscape no longer contains the historic road grid or lot survey of the historic township. As such, to facilitate the proposed development, the CHER recommends the stone cottage be demolished and a commemoration strategy be developed to be incorporated into the entrance of the proposed development. This option will conserve the heritage value of the neighbourhood while not restricting new development. The CHER also recommends that professional documentation of the stone cottage be archived before demolishing the building. This would include a complete set of as found drawings, and a full photographic record of the exterior and interior of the building. South Façade East Façade North Façade West Façade - 102 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 6 4.5 Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6578/05 The subject lands are currently zoned “A” – Rural Agricultural Zone within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6578/05, which permits a detached dwelling, home occupation, agricultural and related uses, recreational and limited institutional uses. The southeast corner of the property is zoned “O” – Public and Private Open Space Zone within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6578/05, which permits various recreational uses (see Zoning Map, Attachment #4). The properties immediately to the east fronting Rougewalk Drive and Mahogany Court are zoned “S5-2” and “SD-7”, permitting detached and semi-detached dwellings respectively. The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property to allow for zoning standards that are currently established within the abutting subdivision to the east (see Zoning Provisions Comparison Chart, Attachment #5). 5. Comments Received 5.1 Public Comments Comments were received from an adjacent property owner, Louisville Homes Limited, in regards to a holding provision on a vacant lot immediately to the east of the subject property (441 Mahogany Court). The holding provision requires the removal of an easement by the applicant in order for the property owner to construct a detached dwelling. Louisville Homes Limited is requesting that the easement be removed through these applications. 5.2 Agency Comments 5.2.1 Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR)  the development proposal is in close proximity to the Belleville Subdivision, which is classified as a mainline; and  CPR requests that the development comply with the recommended guidelines developed for the Railway Association of Canada and the Federatio n of Canadian Municipalities. 5.2.2 Durham District School Board  no objections to the applications; and  students generated from this development will attend existing neighbourhood schools. 5.2.3 Other Agencies As of writing this report, no comments have been received from the Region of Durham, Toronto and Regional Conservation Authority, or Durham Catholic District School Board. - 103 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 7 5.3 City Department Comments As of writing this report, no comments have been received from Engineering Services. 5.3.1 Fire Services Department  no objections to the proposal. 5.3.2 Peer Review Comments from the City’s Heritage Consultant The City has retained Branch Architecture, Heritage Consultants, to review the Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) submitted by the applicant. The following is a summary of the comments received:  The submitted CHER be revised as a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) to bring it in alignment with current heritage practise, in accordance with the 2006 Ontario Heritage Tool Kit. The scope of the HIA aligns with much of that provided in the CHER and it would satisfy the requirements set out in the 2003 Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines.  The Tool Kit advises that a heritage professional, architectural and landscape consultants, “with knowledge of accepted standards of historical research, identification, evaluation, and methods of conservation and m itigation” should undertake the HIA.  A heritage architect (a member of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals, or CAHP) should be engaged to confirm the findings of the conditions assessment and comment on building conservation options.  Based on the findings of the CHER as well as further research and analysis, the City should pursue designating this cultural heritage resource under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.  The subdivision design should give further consideration to views of the building from Finch Avenue.  A heritage architect should complete a review of the later additions and alterations to determine if other elements merit inclusion as heritage attributes.  A heritage architect should be engaged to advise on site plan options that would allow for the conservation of the property’s cultural heritage value and heritage attributes as part of the residential development. The heritage architect should be a CAHP member with experience collaborating on the redevelopment of heritage properties. 5.3.3 Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee At the November 25, 2020, Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee Meeting, the Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee provided the following comments, which are anticipated to be approved at their next scheduled meeting in January 2021:  The subject property is not listed or designated on the City of Pickering Municipal Heritage Register under the Ontario Heritage Act.  The property is noted on the City’s Inventory of Historic Places.  Recommends that Council list 450 Finch Avenue on The Municipal Heritage Register under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. - 104 - Information Report No. 03-21 Page 8  Recommends that the Heritage Impact Assessment be revised as per the recommendations of Branch Architecture.  Recommends that once the revised Heritage Impact Assessment resubmission is received by the City of Pickering, that it is circulated to Heritage Pickering to consider future designation and conservation of the property. 6. Planning & Design Section Comments The following is a summary of key concerns/issues or matters of importance raised to date. These matters, and others identified through the circulation and detailed review of the proposal, are required to be addressed by the applicant before a final recommendation report to Planning & Development Committee:  ensure conformity with the City’s Official Plan and neighbourhood policies and applicable development guidelines;  require the applicant to explore opportunities to retain and restore the heritage home within the proposed development, and ensure the heritage building maintains a prominent view from Finch Avenue;  ensure the subject property is listed on The Municipal Heritage Register under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act;  require the applicant to provide parkland dedication instead of a cash-in-lieu contribution to establish a public park to serve the residents of this neighbourhood;  ensure the applicant’s requested zoning performance standards, particularly building height, yard setbacks and lot coverage, are generally consistent with the existing built form within the adjacent residential subdivision to the east;  ensure a tree compensation plan and/or financial contribution is provided to address the loss of existing mature trees and other significant vegetation ;  ensure Part Blocks 32, 33 and 34 are merged with the adjacent landowners to the east and;  ensure the landowner pays its proportionate share of the cost of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Study and the cost of the stormwater management pond .

Part Lot 22, Range 3 B.F.C.; Now Part 1, 40R-20148 (631 Liverpool Road) Recommendation: 1.That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 04/20, submitted by Ann Harbour Estates Ltd., to permit a permanent private school use and four apartment dwelling units on lands municipally known as 631 Liverpool Road, be approved, and that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 02-21 be finalized and forwarded to Council. Executive Summary: The subject lands are located on the east side of Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood (see Location Map and Air Photo Map, Attachments #1 and #2). The subject property contains a 3-storey mixed-use building, which is currently occupied by a temporary private school in the basement and ground floor, and 1 dwelling unit and an accessory dwelling unit occupying the second and third floors. No additional floor area is proposed through this application (see Approved Site Plan, Attachment #3). The temporary private school use was permitted through a Committee of Adjustment application (P/CA 29/18) for 2 years (see Committee of Adjustment Decision, Attachment #4). The applicant proposes to establish the private school use as a permanent permitted use and to permit a total of 4 apartment dwellings units. In support of the rezoning application, the applicant submitted a Traffic Study, which concluded that the requested amendments to the zoning by-law will not result in any adverse traffic impacts along Liverpool Road or other roads and intersections within the immediate neighbourhood. A total of 20 parking spaces is currently provided and based on survey counts, the existing parking supply is adequate to accommodate the parking demands of the proposed uses. Staff recommend that Council approve Zoning By-law Amendment A 04/20. The draft by-law is attached as Appendix I, and it is recommended the By-law be finalized and enacted by Council. - 118 - Report PLN 02-21 January 4, 2021 Subject: Ann Harbour Estates Ltd. (A 04/20) Page 2 Financial Implications: The recommendations of this report do not present any financial implications for the City. 1. Background 1.1 Property Description The subject property is located on the east side of Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The property has an area of approximately 0.11 of a hectare with approximately 18 metres of frontage along Liverpool Road. The property currently contains a 3-storey mixed-use building with a total gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 950 square metres. The existing uses within the building include a temporary private school occupying the basement and ground floor, and a dwelling unit and an accessory dwelling unit occupying the second and third floors. Twenty parking spaces are located at the rear of the property, and vehicular access is provided from Liverpool Road. Surrounding land uses include (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #2): North: To the north are detached dwellings fronting Liverpool Road and Wharf Street. West & South: To the west and south is the Nautical Village development consisting of live-work units fronting Liverpool Road. East: To the east is the Provincially Significant Frenchman’s Bay Coastal Wetland Complex (also referred to as the Hydro Marsh). 1.2 Applicant’s Proposal The applicant has submitted a rezoning application to permit a permanent private school use with a maximum of 50 students and 4 rental apartment dwelling units. No additional floor area is proposed through this application (see Approved Site Plan, Attachment #3). On August 22, 2018, the existing private school use was permitted through the Committee of Adjustment (P/CA 29/18) on a 2 year temporary basis with conditions. Those conditions include, but are not limited to: restricting the private school use to the ground floor and basement; implementing a maximum of 50 students registered at the school; and limiting the school's operation from September to July between the hours of 7:00 am and 6:00 pm (see Committee of Adjustment Decision, Attachment #4). The proposal includes the conversion of the existing dwelling unit and the accessory dwelling unit into 4 apartment dwelling units. Pedestrian access to the units is provided from 2 common corridors/stairwells and an elevator. The second and third floors will each have 2 apartment dwelling units ranging in size between 111 square metres and 187 square metres (1,105 square feet to 2,016 square feet). A total of 282.5 square metres (3,041 square feet) of shared outdoor amenity area is provided on the roof of the building for both the private school and the occupants of the dwelling units (see Submitted Floor Plans, Attachments #5 through #9). - 119 - Report PLN 02-21 January 4, 2021 Subject: Ann Harbour Estates Ltd. (A 04/20) Page 3 2. Comments Received 2.1 August 10, 2020 Statutory Public Meeting No members of the public attended the Electronic Statutory Public Meeting. Staff received 2 letters in support of the rezoning application from neighbouring businesses. One concern was raised by the members of the Planning & Development Committee at the Statutory Public Meeting regarding the availability of an on-site play area for the private school use. This concern was addressed at the meeting by the head of the Montessori Learning Centre noting that there is no mandated requirement for a permanent on-site play area, but that the school uses area parks, the waterfront and the rooftop amenity space. 2.1.1 Region of Durham Comments • no concerns or objections with the Zoning By-law Amendment Application; • the Regional Official Plan (ROP) designates the subject lands as “Living Areas”, which is intended predominantly for housing purposes; • cultural facilities for educational purposes may also be permitted within the “Living Areas” designation; and • the proposed school and dwelling units conform with the ROP. 2.1.2 City of Pickering Engineering Services Comments • no concerns or objections with the Zoning By-law Amendment Application. 3. Planning Analysis 3.1 The proposal conforms to the policies and provisions of the City’s Official Plan The City’s Official Plan designates the subject lands as “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Areas” designation within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. The property is further identified as being within the Liverpool Road Corridor, in the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node. Lands within the Liverpool Road Corridor are restricted to uses including retailing of goods and services, restaurants, offices, and community, cultural and recreational uses, to serve the tourist, recreational, boating and other community needs. Lands within the Liverpool Road Corridor are permitted the establishment of residential uses up to a maximum of 55 units per net hectare, subject to the condition that the design and construction of the ground floors facing the street are to be easily converted to accommodate a range of uses, including the retailing of goods and services, and offices, by incorporating certain Ontario Building Code construction requirements applicable to commercial uses. The proposal will result in a residential density of approximately 36.4 units per hectare. As such, permitting the private school permanently and a maximum of 4 apartment dwelling units conform to the land use and density provisions of the City’s Official Plan. - 120 - Report PLN 02-21 January 4, 2021 Subject: Ann Harbour Estates Ltd. (A 04/20) Page 4 3.2 The proposal will not result in any adverse traffic impacts The applicant has submitted a Traffic Review Report, prepared by GHD, dated March 16, 2020, in support of the rezoning application. The report provided an assessment of the existing traffic and parking needs of the private school and the proposed 4 apartment dwelling units, and the impact of the request changes. Field observations were undertaken on Monday, December 16, 2019 at the access to the site from Liverpool Road and the parking lot at the rear of the building. The consultants observed that the hours of peak usage was from 7:30 am to 9:30 am and from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, corresponding with the before-school and after-school drop-off times. During these times, the driveway operated with low levels of delays and no queuing for traffic generated by the school and existing 2 dwelling units. There are 3 main locations where students were dropped-off before school and picked-up after school: along the east side of Liverpool Road; along the west side of Liverpool Road; and in the parking lot of the subject property. The table below summarizes the total number of observed drop-off and pick-ups at the different locations: Drop-off/Pick-up Location Observed number of vehicles Before School Drop-offs (7:30 am to 9:30 am peak hours) East Side of Liverpool Road 19 West Side of Liverpool Road 1 Parking Lot 6 After School Pick-ups (3:30 pm to 4:30 pm peak hours) East Side of Liverpool Road 7 West Side of Liverpool Road 0 Parking Lot 12 Based on the field observation, during the morning peak hours, the existing uses generated a total of 26 trips and 19 trips during the afternoon peak hours. Furthermore, the operator of the private school has indicated that they currently provide a shuttle option from a remote location (401 Kingston Road) to pick-up and drop-off students at the school property. This shuttle contributes to limiting additional traffic during drop-off and pick-up times along Liverpool Road. Based on the findings of the traffic assessment, staff are satisfied that permitting a private school as a permanent use and increasing the number of dwelling units to 4 will not result in any adverse traffic impacts along Liverpool Road or the intersection of Liverpool Road and Wharf Street. - 121 - Report PLN 02-21 January 4, 2021 Subject: Ann Harbour Estates Ltd. (A 04/20) Page 5 3.3 Sufficient parking supply is available to accommodate the requested uses The site currently provides a total of 20 parking spaces at the rear of the site, exceeding the minimum required parking spaces. The parking ratios and requirements for the proposed uses within Zoning By-law 2520, as amended, are as follows: Parking Ratio Required Parking Spaces Apartment Dwelling Unit 1.75 spaces per dwelling unit for occupants and visitors 7 parking spaces Private School 1.0 space per 10 students, plus 1.0 space for each staff 11 parking spaces Total Required parking to be provided on-site 18 spaces Existing Parking on-site 20 spaces (including one accessible parking space) During the morning peak usage hours of 7:30 am to 9:30 am, 6 parking spaces were occupied. During the afternoon peak usage hours of 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm, a total of 12 parking spaces were occupied. At no point during the day were all 20 parking spaces on the property used simultaneously. During the field study, 3 of the parking spaces were occupied by residents and a total of 4 were occupied by private school staff. Residential and visitor parking spaces are not delineated in the parking lot. However, each tenant is assigned 1 parking space. To date, there have been no conflicts between residential parking usage and private school parking usage. Mitigating factors to this include the availability of on-street parking along Liverpool Road and the limited hours of operation of the private school, which offsets the peak usage hours. Staff are satisfied that the current supply of parking spaces is sufficient to accommodate the parking demands from the private school and 4 apartment dwelling units. 3.4 Shared outdoor amenity space will be provided on the rooftop The rooftop of the building has been designed to be an outdoor amenity area with a glass guard around the parapet for safety. The total area of the amenity space provided is approximately 283 square metres. The west side of the rooftop space will be reserved for the private school’s use (173 square metres), while the east side of the roof space will be reserved for use by the occupants of the dwelling units (109 square metres). There will be no physical barrier extending the length of the roof to divide the amenity areas, but they will be separated by the elevator shaft and stairwell (see Submitted Roof Plans, Attachment #9). Additionally, the peak usage times of the amenity areas will typically be offset given the limited hours of operation of the private school. - 122 - Report PLN 02-21 January 4, 2021 Subject: Ann Harbour Estates Ltd. (A 04/20) Page 6 3.5 Site-specific zoning special regulations will be carried from the Committee of Adjustment’s conditions of approval The appropriate conditions of approval from the P/CA 29/18 decision will be carried through to the site-specific amending by-law as special regulations. These provisions include: • a private school use shall only be permitted to operate within the ground floor and basement; • a private school use shall be limited to a maximum gross leasable floor area of 335 square metres; • a private school use shall be limited to a maximum of 50 students; • a private school use shall be permitted to operate from September 1st to July 1st between the hours of 7:00 am and 6:00 pm; and • no other non-residential uses are permitted to operate on the subject property concurrent to the hours of operation of the private school as noted above. 4. Conclusion Staff support the rezoning application to permit a permanent private school use and 4 apartment dwelling units and recommends that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 02-21 be forwarded to Council for enactment, subject to any technical changes. 5.
