Denike 1886 Appleview Road Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-laws 2496/87, 7874/21 and 7902/22, to permit: • a maximum dwelling depth of 31.4 metres for a lot with lot depth greater than 40.0 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum dwelling depth of 20.0 metres for lots with depths greater than 40.0 metres; and • a maximum front yard setback of 18.58 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum front yard setback of 13.99 metres. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to construct a two-storey detached dwelling. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the Application for Minor Variance and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That the variances to permit the detached dwelling apply only to the proposed detached dwelling, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7). -9- Report MV 11/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood. This designation primarily provides for residential uses. The Official Plan policies encourage new development along Appleview Road to be compatible with the character of existing development. Staff have reviewed and made comment on the proposed dwelling using the Council adopted Urban Design Guidelines for Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhood Precincts Checklist, which can be found as Appendix A to this report. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “R4” – Fourth Density Residential Zone by Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2496/87, and Infill By-laws 7874/21 and 7902/22. Maximum Front Yard Setback The intent of the maximum front yard setback requirement is to ensure that adequate separation is provided between a dwelling and street activity, a sufficient landscaped area is maintained between a dwelling and the adjacent streets, and that an appropriate setback is provided to maintain a consistent streetscape. The intent of the minimum and maximum front yard setbacks of the Infill By-laws is to reinforce the open space characteristics of the neighbourhood by promoting a consistent “street wall” of the front walls of dwellings, and in turn, helping to regulate the extent of dwelling depths along a block. The intent is also to match the smaller of the front yard setbacks of adjacent properties while still allowing for some flexibility and range in the front yard setbacks to recognize that there is variability in front yard setbacks along a block of existing development. The maximum front yard setback is determined by the average of the two adjacent existing front yard setbacks, plus 1.0 metre. The front yard setback for the adjacent property to the north (1890 Appleview Road) is 7.72 metres and the front yard setback for the adjacent property to the south (1884 Appleview Road) is 18.27 metres. Therefore, the maximum front yard setback requirement for the subject property is 13.99 metres. In the block where the subject lot is situated there is a variety of lot sizes and front yard setbacks. Moving from the south there is a transition from deeper front yards to shallower front yards, and larger deeper lots to smaller shallower lots (refer to Exhibit 7). The transition from larger lots and deeper front yards to smaller lots and front yards occurs with the subject lot. The existing lots to the south are 85.0 metres deep, with dwellings having front yard setbacks ranging between 7.0 to 30.0 metres. The existing lots to the north are between 30.0 to 70.0 metres in depth, with dwellings having front yard setback of 7.5 metres. Due to smaller lot depths, these dwellings have shallow front yard setbacks, while the subject property and the lots to the south have greater lot depths, which allow greater front yard setbacks. -10- Report MV 11/24 March 13, 2024 Page 3 The applicant has proposed to site the house in alignment with the dwelling immediately to the south, located at 1884 Appleview Road, aligning the front wall of the proposed dwelling with the front wall of 1884 Appleview Road, continuing the trend of existing deeper front yard setbacks for the larger lots. The front wall of the proposed dwelling will be aligned with the rear wall of the dwelling to the north, 1890 Appleview Road, which will be the lot most impacted by the proposed development. The owner of 1890 Appleview Road has submitted a letter of support. Furthermore, there is natural screening of existing trees along the north property line of 1886 Appleview Road, which will help reduce visual impacts and privacy concerns. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit a maximum front yard setback of 18.58 metres meets the general intent and purpose of the Infill By-law. Maximum Dwelling Depth Dwelling Depth is the measurement of the distance between the required minimum Front Yard Setback and the rear of the dwelling, which is a measure of how deep a dwelling protrudes into a lot. The intent of requiring a maximum dwelling depth of 20.0 metres is to provide for consistent placement of rear walls on neighbouring properties, and to reduce potential shadowing, massing and privacy impacts on adjacent dwellings and rear yards. The applicant is requesting a maximum dwelling depth of 31.4 metres, whereas the By-law permits 20.0 metres. The minimum front yard setback requirement for 1886 Appleview Road is 7.72 metres, which is determined by the existing setback of the neighbouring property to the north (1890 Appleview Road). The proposed dwelling will have a dwelling depth of 31.4 metres. However, the dwelling depth from the front wall to the rear wall is 20.5 metres. The proposed dwelling will protrude approximately 15.0 metres beyond the existing rear wall of the property to the north (1890 Appleview Road). However, the proposed dwelling rear wall will be aligned with the dwelling to the south (1884 Appleview Road). Additionally, a rear deck is proposed to extend approximately 4.8 metres from the rear wall of the proposed dwelling, adding further depth onto the development. The proposed placement of the dwelling maintains the general character and consistency of the existing block of development along the west side of Appleview Road. The existing trees along the north property line will help mitigate privacy and shadowing concerns for the existing dwelling to the north. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance to permit a maximum dwelling depth of 31.4 metres maintains the general intent and purpose of the Infill By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variances will facilitate the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling on the subject property. The proposed development will feature a built form similar to the existing development along Appleview Road. The proposed placement of the dwelling generally maintains the consistent streetscape south of the subject property and is compatible with the existing development along Appleview Road. Staff do not have any concerns with the massing and size of the dwelling. The existing trees along the north property line will help mitigate privacy and shadowing concerns. -11- Report MV 11/24 March 13, 2024 Page 4 The applicant has provided letters of support from most impacted neighbours located at 1873, 1875, 1879, 1880, 1882 & 1890 Appleview Road (refer to Exhibit 7). Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant •The proposed placement of the house will maintainthe character of the neighbourhood. Engineering Services •Ensure the proposed dwelling depth and increasedfront yard setback do not adversely affect the drainagepatterns within the lot and surrounding area. •Multiple Low Impact Development measures (such as infiltration galleries with downspout connections, raingardens and 450mm amended soils) will be requiredat the Building Permit stage. •No concerns from Building Services, a Building Permit is required prior to construction. •Residents at 1873; 1875; 1879; 1880; 1882 & 1890Appleview Road have reviewed the site plan and arein support of the work that is planned on the property.

The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to construct an accessory structure (pool cabana). Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the Application for Minor Variance and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That this variance applies only to the proposed accessory structure (pool cabana), as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6). Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density” within the Rougemount Neighbourhood. Residential uses such as detached dwellings and associated accessory structures are permitted within this designation. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “R3” under Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-laws 2912/88, 7874/21 and 7902/22. Detached dwellings and associated accessory structures are permitted within the R3 zoning. -22- Report MV 12/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 The intent of the lot coverage provision is to ensure that an adequate amount of space is left uncovered by buildings on a lot, regulate the scale and size of a building, and ensure appropriate sufficient permeable surface for drainage. Infill By-law 7874/21 permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent for lots less than 1,000 square metres in area. Lot coverage includes all above grade roofed structures and buildings on a lot. The applicant is proposing a 29.5 square metre pool cabana in the rear yard of the property. The proposed cabana accounts for approximately 3.12 percent of the total lot coverage of all the structures and buildings on the lot and will increase the total lot coverage from 32.9 percent to 36.02 percent. The proposed pool cabana is located on the northeast end of the rear yard and has a minimum setback of 1.0 metre from the north and east lot lines. Adequate rear yard amenity space can be provided on the remainder of the yard, as such, staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variance will permit a pool cabana in the rear yard to allow for sheltered amenity space. The proposed building is within the height requirements for accessory structures and provides adequate setbacks to allow for drainage. The increase in lot coverage is not expected to have a significant impact on the drainage pattern of the area. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land and is minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant • Proposed structure will screen pool equipment and provide privacy for neighbouring properties. Engineering Services • Ensure the proposed Cabana location/size will not affect the infiltration gallery previously approved with land division applications LD 097-2021 to LD 099- 2021 and building permit BP 22- 012389. An updated grading plan will be required as a revision to the building permit. • Ensure the increased lot coverage does not adversely affect the drainage patterns within the lot and surrounding area. Building Services • No concerns from Building Services, Building Permit is required prior to construction. Public Input • No written submissions were received from the public as of the date of writing this report. -23- Report MV 12/24 March 13, 2024 Page 3 Date of report: March 7, 2024 Comments prepared by: Original Signed By Kerry Yelk Planner I Original Signed By Deborah Wylie, MCIP, RPP Manager, Zoning & Administration KY:nr J:\Documents\Development\D-3700\2024\MV 12-24\7.

Golvin & JMPM Holdings Ltd. 1635 Bayly Street Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-laws 6974/09, 7519/16 and 7828/21, to permit a maximum outdoor storage of 6,000 square metres, where as the By-law prohibits outdoor storage and display. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain site plan approval for a proposed warehouse and office building with 6,000 square metres of accessory outdoor storage. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That the variance applies only to the proposed development, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3 & 4). Background Committee of Adjustment Decision P/CA 66/22 On May 11, 2022, the City of Pickering Committee of Adjustment approved minor variance application P/CA 66/22 to allow a variance to permit an accessory outdoor storage use on the subject property, subject to the condition that the variance applies to the subject lands as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans. The applicant has since revised the layout of the site and increased the outdoor storage area, rendering the Committee’s decision null and void. -31- Report MV 14/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject lands are designated “Employment Areas – Mixed Employment” on the northly portion and “Employment Areas – General Employment” on the southerly portion. The proposed warehouse and office building is located entirely within the “Mixed Employment” designation, and the proposed outdoor storage is located entirely within the “General Employment” designation. The storage of goods and material is a permissible use within the "General Employment” designation. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “MC-21” in Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-laws 6974/09, 7519/16 and 7828/21. Site specific Zoning By-law 6974/09 prohibits outdoor storage on the subject lands. However, within the Parent Zoning By-law 2511, outdoor storage and display that are accessory and incidental to a commercial or industrial building as a principle use on the same lot are permitted in the “M2” zone, subject to the following conditions: • An open storage area shall be permitted only in a rear yard and not closer than 9 metres to any street line, provided that such storage area shall be so located that it is not visible from a street along any lot line that is perpendicular to such street. • An open storage area shall not extend over more than 30 percent of the lot area and such area shall be exclusive of parking spaces required by Section 5.22 and shall not exceed the ground floor area of buildings upon the lot. • An open storage area can be used for only:  the temporary storage of products manufactured, assembled, or used on the premises.  the storage of tanks and containers of liquids, gases or other similar materials used in the commercial or manufacturing process.  the storage of materials used in the industrial operation but excluding bulk open storage of sand, gravel, stone, coal and construction material or other similar materials or products. The general intent of the By-law regulations for outdoor storage is to restrict the size and visibility of outdoor storage areas to limit the visual impact on the streetscape, and to restrict the materials stored to be associated with the main industrial use on the property. While this property is zoned MC-21, staff have referenced the intent of the outdoor storage area provisions within Parent By-law 2511. The total ground floor area of all buildings on the lot is 6,891 square metres, and the proposed outdoor storage accounts for approximately 21.9 percent of the total lot area. The applicant also proposes a 4.5 metre landscape buffer along Dillingham Road (refer to Exhibit 4). The proposed outdoor storage is generally in keeping with the outdoor storage area zoning provisions in the By-law. -32- Report MV 14/24 March 13, 2024 Page 3 Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The accessory outdoor storage use was permitted by the previous minor variance decision P/CA 66/22. While the configuration of the site has changed, the expanded area for outdoor storage is not foreseen to have significant visual impacts on the adjacent properties as the site is surrounded by other industrial uses. The outdoor storage area is also screened from Dillingham Road with planting and fencing to reduce the visual impact of the outdoor storage to the street. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of land and are minor in nature.

Sandhu 1808 Dencourt Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 1928/84, to permit a maximum lot coverage of 40.7 percent, whereas the By-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to construct a covered deck (awning) in the rear yard. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That the variance applies only to the proposed rear yard deck (awning), as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4 & 5). Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area” within the Amberlea Neighbourhood. Residential uses such as detached dwellings and accessory uses are permitted within the Urban Residential Areas designations. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “S1” in Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 1929/84. -38- Report MV 15/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 The intent of the lot coverage provision is to ensure that an adequate amount of space is left uncovered by buildings on a lot, regulate the scale and size of a building, and ensure sufficient permeable surface for drainage. The proposed deck will increase the total lot coverage of the subject property to 40.7 percent, whereas the By-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent. The owner is proposing to construct an attached roof (awning) along the rear wall of the existing dwelling. The awning will have a total area of 24 square metres. The proposed awning will have a minimum rear yard setback of 9.4 metres and a 1.27 metre side yard setback, which will be aligned with the existing dwelling wall. The owner has indicated that the floor of the awning will be comprised of interlocking stone. Therefore, the increase in lot coverage is not expected to have a significant impact on the drainage pattern of the area. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variance is to permit an awning in the rear yard of the property. The proposed awning will allow direct access from the main floor of the dwelling to the rear yard enhancing the experience of the rear yard amenity space. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable and appropriate for the development of the land and are minor in nature. •To construct a reduced roof structure would not allowmaximum benefit from the intended use. •No comments. •No concerns from Building Services, permitapplication is on hold until Committee’s decision. •No written submissions were received from the publicas of the date of writing this report.

The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit for a restaurant use within Building A on the subject property. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That the variance applies only to the proposed development, as generally sited, and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibit 2). Background Committee of Adjustment Decision P/CA 03/10 On February 24, 2010, the City of Pickering Committee of Adjustment approved Minor Variance Decision P/CA 03/10 to permit a rental vehicle establishment, 4 parking spaces for the storage of the rental vehicles on the property, and 41 parking spaces for the commercial plaza. -44- Report MV 16/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area” within the Amberlea Neighbourhood. Compatible special purpose commercial uses that serve the area are also permitted within the Urban Residential Area designation. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “C-18” in Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6164/03. The By-law permits a maximum gross floor area of 220 square metres on the lot for Restaurant Type ‘A’ uses. As there is an existing restaurant within Building B on the subject property, the applicant is requesting to increase the permitted gross floor area to 318 square metres to accommodate another restaurant within subject property. The intent of the limiting the gross floor area of restaurants within the subject property is to ensure that sufficient parking can be provided within the existing plaza and to support a mix of uses within the plaza. The applicant has submitted a Parking Justification Rationale that supports the the introduction of the new restaurant use and also confirms that the U-Haul Dealership has vacated the site, returning the parking spaces previously approved for the storage of rental vehicles on the property to regular parking spaces. Based on the eixsting and proposed uses on the property, the minmium required parking spaces is 44 spaces, and 45 spaces are provided on the property. As sufficient parking and a mix of uses can be maintained on the property, staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The applicant is seeking approval of the variance to introduce a new restaurant on the subject property. The subject property is one of the few commercial plazas that serves the surrounding community. The increase in gross floor area for restaurants within this plaza will provide new restaurant options to the immediate surrounding community at the peripheral of Pickering. There also appears to be sufficient parking to support the increase, as such, staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of land and is minor in nature.

Plan 40M2625 Blk 288 & Plan 40M2664 Blk 77 (Municipally known as 1100 Azelea Avenue) Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 7364/14, as amended by By-law 7857/21 to permit: •a maximum front yard setback of 16.9 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum front yard setback of 4.5 metres; and •13 parking spaces between the building and the flankage lot line and 6 parking spacesbetween the building and the front lot line, whereas the By-law prohibits parking to belocated between a building and the corresponding front lot line and flankage lot line. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain site plan approval for a two-storey elementary school. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the application and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variances to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That these variances applies only to the proposed development, as generally sited, andoutlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4 & 5). Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area” within the Lamoureaux Neighbourhood in Seaton. An elementary school is planned for the subject lands in the Lamoureaux Neighbourhood Plan. -49- Report MV 17/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The entirety of the subject lands is zoned “CU”, with designated lands within the subject lands dual-zoned “LD1”, “LD2” or “LD2-M” in Zoning By-law 7364/14, as amended by By-law 7857/22. Elementary schools are permitted with the CU zone. Maximum Front Yard Setback Variance The By-law permits a maximum front yard setback of 4.5 metres within the CU zone, however 25 percent of the building facing the street can have a greater yard. The intent of requiring a maximum front yard setback of 4.5 metres is to bring the building closer to the street to enhance the streetscape. The applicant is proposing a maximum front yard setback of 16.9 metres, with 25 percent of the building wall with a greater setback. The applicant has indicated that there is a substantial grade difference from the northeast corner of the site (high point) to the southeast corner of the site (low point), which is along Azalea Avenue, the front of the site. A greater setback is required to accommodate the accessibility standards to the building and the play areas on the site. Additionally, the childcare play area is proposed along the Azalea Avenue frontage due to various design considerations, which contributes to the greater front yard setback. As the greater setback is to accommodate the childcare play area and site grading, the requested variance is not expected to generate negative impacts to the streetscape. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Parking Placement Variance The intent of prohibiting parking on the front yard (Azalea Avenue) and flankage yard (Burkholder Drive) is to reduce the impact of parking to the streetscape and surrounding uses, especially within a residential area. The applicant is proposing 13 parking spaces on the flankage yard to accommodate parent drop off and pick up, and to locate the accessible parking spaces closer to the school’s main entrance. Additionally, six parking spaces within the east parking lot are in front of the south building wall (front wall). The proposed parking arrangement will assist with the traffic flows on the corner lot and allow sufficient space to maintain a small play field for the school site. The parking spaces on the flankage yard and the east parking lot will be screened by trees and other vegetation along the street line to reduce the visual impact of parking. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appriopriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variances will facilitate a two-storey elementary school on the subject lands. An elementary school as been identified in the Official Plan to service the growing Seaton Community. Due to the grading of the site, the variances are requested to accommodate the siting of the school building, and the appropriate placement of the required play area and parking area. Landscaping along the street lines of the site is proposed to mitigate the impacts of the proposed parking and to create an animated streetscape between the school and the street. As such, staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. -50- Report MV 17/24 March 13, 2024 Page 3 Input From Other Sources Applicant •See applicant’s rationale attached to the application form.

The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to permit accessory structures (compressed natural gas station) within the front and north side yard. Recommendation For your information, and based solely on the Application for Minor Variance and supporting documentation filed by the applicant, the City Development Department has reviewed the application with respect to Section 45(1) of the Planning Act and considers the requested variance to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1. That this variance applies only to the proposed development, as generally sited andoutlined on the applicant’s submitted plan (refer to Exhibits 2, 3, 4 & 5). Background In 2023, the applicant submitted a Pre-Consultation request to expand the existing Waste Processing and Transfer Facility, construct a natural gas fueling station for their fleet, expand the onsite parking and remove an existing wetland to facilitate the proposed expansion. The TRCA has worked with the applicant to address compensation requirements for the removal of the existing wetland along the eastern property boundary. The proposed expansion to the recycling facility is to address the legislative changes to the blue box program mandated by the Province. Through the pre-consultation meeting it was determined that the proposed CNG stations will not require a Building Permit or Site Plan Approval, but must maintain zoning compliance. -57- Report MV 18/24 March 13, 2024 Page 2 Comment Conforms to the Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated “Employment Areas - General Employment” within the Brock Industrial neighbourhood. The General Employment designation permits a range of industrial uses including warehousing, storage of goods and materials, waste transfer, and recycling and waste processing. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Conforms to the Intent of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “M2 – Industrial Zone” in Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 61/74. Miller Waste Systems Inc. is proposing to construct a compressed natural gas station (CNG) that will be primarily used to refuel its fleet of vehicles. The proposed structures are reviewed as accessory to the waste processing and transfer use. The intent of requirement for accessory structures to be located in the rear yard is to minimize their visual impact on the streetscape and adjacent properties. The applicant is seeking to permit one accessory structure in the front yard (Enbridge Customer Station) and one accessory structure in the side yard (CNG Station), whereas Section 5.19 (a) of By-law 2511 requires any accessory structure to be located in the rear yard. The applicant has indicated that the proposed location of CNG station within the front and side yard is for functionality purposes and will allow for efficient circulation of the fleet vehicles on the subject site. The proposed structures will be screened by an existing landscape buffer along Squires Beach Road, which will minimize visual impact on the streetscape. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The requested variance will permit an accessory structure (Enbridge Customer Station) in the front yard and an accessory structure in the side yard (CNG Station). The applicant has worked with TRCA on removing an identified wetland along the east property line, along Squires Beach Road. The removal of the wetland feature has been reviewed and agreed to by TRCA and Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The proposed structures complement the existing uses on-site. The proposed placement of the structures will have limited visual impact on the streetscape and will efficiently support the operations on and off-site. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed structures are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and are minor in nature. -58- Report MV 18/24 March 13, 2024 Page 3 Input From Other Sources Applicant •Please see Applicant’s Cover Letter.
