In response to a question from Committee members, the agent commented that the ADU is not recognized yet, they are going through the permit process and this is part of that step. They are looking for a tenant without a car, but if they did, they have one dedicated parking space available, there are public transit routes in the area. A Committee member commented that there is no way to police the owners of the ADU from housing anyone with a car.

In support of the application the agent commented that the proposal is for a front and rear addition to the existing dwelling, trees not within construction zone will be protected, as per the arborist report they are not within the tree protection area. This is a reasonable expansion to an existing family dwelling, the use remains residential. The application meets all four tests of the Planning Act. An area resident made a brief presentation in objection to the application, sharing concerns regarding the rear expansion that will result in loss of privacy due to tree loss. The neighbourhood is within the tree protection area. The Secretary-Treasurer advised members that the front yard and portion of the front of the dwelling is within the tree protection area. In response to a question from a Committee member, the agent stated that the roof deck will have a privacy wall to the north and the clients are open and willing to work with any neighbours to minimize privacy impacts. A Committee member commented that four items do not meet the guidelines of the attached Urban Design Guideline, Appendix A to the staff report.

Chair Assistant Secretary-Treasurer - 12 - Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: MV 60/24 Date: July 8, 2026 From: Isabel Lima Principal Planner, Development Review Subject: (Tabled at the August 13, 2025 Committee of Adjustment Hearing) Committee of Adjustment Application MV 60/24 100117575 Ontario Inc. 1238 Bayview Street Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24, to permit: •a minimum rear yard depth of 7.0 metres, whereas the By-law requires a minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres; •a maximum lot coverage of 46.5 percent, whereas the By-law requires a maximum lot coverage of 45 percent; and •a maximum building height of 9.0 metres, whereas the By-law requires a maximum building height of 7.5 metres. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit to construct a two-storey detached dwelling. Recommendation Based on the application and supporting documentation submitted, the City Development Department has reviewed the proposal in accordance with Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Staff consider the requested variances to be minor, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and consistent with the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Notwithstanding this review, the applicant is responsible for demonstrating the justification for the relief sought and for establishing that the statutory tests are met. After considering all public and agency input, should the Committee find merit in this application, the following condition is recommended: 1.That these variances apply only to the proposed detached dwelling, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Attachments 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). Background On October 9, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment considered Land Division Application LD 15/24, along with the associated Minor Variance Applications MV 60/24 and MV 61/24. - 13 - Report MV 60/24 July 8, 2026 Page 2 The applicant proposed to sever the existing lot for one additional residential lot. At the Committee hearing, the applicant requested that the applications be tabled due to revisions to their initial proposal. In July 2025, the applicant withdrew the tabled Land Division Application LD 15/24 and Minor Variance Application MV 61/24 due to revisions to the proposal. The applicant wishes to proceed with the construction of one detached residential dwelling on the lot. The application was heard at the August 2025 hearing, which was tabled again to address comments from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). In June 2026, the City was advised that TRCA comments have been addressed. Comments Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 The Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (PPS) is a policy statement issued under Section 3 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, which provides direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Decisions of the Committee of Adjustment are required to be consistent with the PPS. Official Plans are intended to be kept up to date with the PPS. However, where a planning authority is required to make a decision before its Official Plan has been updated to reflect the most recent PPS, the decision must nevertheless be consistent with the PPS in effect at the time of the decision. The subject property is located within the Settlement Area, where the PPS supports development that promotes efficient land use and appropriate development patterns. The requested variances facilitate development that is compatible with the existing and permitted use of the property. Staff is satisfied that the proposed variances are consistent with the PPS. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are now deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Plan, the subject property is designated “Urban System – Community Areas”. This designation permits a wide range of uses, including residential uses. The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as “Urban Residential Areas – Medium Density Area”, which is intended to accommodate a range of uses, including residential. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plans. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “X30(S-SD-1)” under Zoning By-law 8149/24. - 14 - Report MV 60/24 July 8, 2026 Page 3 Rear Yard Setback and Lot Coverage The applicant is proposing a rear yard setback of 7.0 metres and a lot coverage of 46.5 percent, whereas the Zoning By-law permits a minimum rear yard setback of 7.5 metres and a maximum lot coverage of 45 percent. The intent of these provisions is to regulate the size, scale, and placement of buildings to ensure that adequate space remains available for rear yard landscaping, private outdoor amenity areas, drainage, and privacy protection for abutting properties. The property retains sufficient outdoor amenity space within the front and rear yard. The requested variance does not appear to adversely affect drainage or the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties. The proposed building footprint is considered appropriate for the lot size and is not anticipated to adversely impact surrounding properties. Building Height The applicant is proposing a building height of 9.0 metres, whereas the Zoning By-law permits a maximum height of 7.5 metres. The intent of the height provision is to ensure that new development remains compatible with surrounding properties and to mitigate potential shadowing, overlook, and privacy impacts. The proposed dwelling is two storeys in height, which is consistent with the built form of neighbouring detached dwellings. Staff is satisfied that the proposed building height will not result in unacceptable impacts on adjacent properties. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed dwelling maintains sufficient separation and open space on the lot to mitigate potential privacy and overlook impacts. The requested variances for rear yard setback and lot coverage are considered minor as the proposal does not encroach into the required front or side yards and maintains an appropriate separation distance from the rear lot line. Although the proposed building height exceeds the maximum permitted height, the height of the windows (on the second storey) do not exceed 6.85 metres from grade, which is below the permitted maximum building height of 7.5 metres. This helps ensure that the privacy of neighbouring properties is maintained. The proposed height is also consistent with the neighbouring property to the east and is not anticipated to result in a built form that towers over adjacent properties. As such, staff has no concerns regarding privacy or overlook impacts. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable for the appropriate development of the land and minor in nature.

Da t e : J u n e 18 , 2 0 2 6 - 22 - Report to Committee of Adjustment Application Number: MV 37/26 Date: July 8, 2026 From: Isabel Lima Principal Planner, Development Review Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application MV 37/26 Brock & Kingston Holdings Inc. 1970 Brock Road Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 2212/86, to permit the outdoor storage of six rental vehicles, whereas the By-law does not permit the storage of rental vehicles. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to permit the outdoor storage of rental vehicles associated with a truck rental business (U-Haul) as an accessory use to an existing convenience store (refer to Attachment 2). Summary of Findings The City Development Department recommends that Minor Variance Application MV 37/26 be Tabled to allow the applicant to address the concerns raised by the City’s Municipal Law Enforcement Services regarding potential overflowing of vehicle storage. Background The City’s Municipal Law Enforcement Services have reviewed the proposed variance and expressed concern that the storage of rental vehicles associated with U-Haul’s operation may result in overflow parking beyond the six vehicles requested through this variance application (refer to Input from Other Sources below). In support of the requested variance, staff have requested additional details regarding U-Haul’s operations on the subject site to address these concerns and to assess whether appropriate measures are in place to prevent overflow vehicle storage. This information is required to ensure that the proposed U-Haul operation does not adversely impact other site functions or neighbouring properties. Input From Other Sources Applicant Building Services •U-Haul has provided a letter in support of the application. •No comments. - 23 - Report MV 37/26 July 8, 2026 Page 2 Engineering Services •No comments have been received as of the date of writing this report. Municipal Law Enforcement Service (MLES) •Other locations that have received Minor Variances to allow the rental and storage of U-Haul vehicles have resulted in lack of compliance with the number of vehicles and parking regulations stipulated in the CofA decision. It appears that there is no ability for the individual business to control the number of vehicles dropped off at a location which results in more vehicles than permitted being parked in spots that are not designated for this purpose. The City receives and is required to investigate complaints related to this, without a mechanism to clearly limit the number and location of vehicles, MLES cannot support approval of the U-Haul rentals from convenience stores. Public Input •No written submissions have been received from the public as of the date of writing this report.

Kachappilly 498 Rougemount Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24, to permit: • maximum dwelling depth of 29.6 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum dwelling depth of 20.0 metres; and • maximum front yard setback of 49.3 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum front yard setback of 42.05 metres. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit for the construction of a detached dwelling. Summary of Findings Staff has reviewed Minor Variance Application MV 38/26 with respect to the criteria set out in Section 51(24) of the Planning Act and recommends that the application be Deferred to the August 12, 2026, Committee of Adjustment hearing to allow for the inclusion of additional variances related to the required side yard setbacks. Background Following the preparation and circulation of the Notice of Hearing for Minor Variance Application MV 38/26, staff determined that additional variances related to the required side yard setback were inadvertently omitted from the Notice of Hearing. As these variances were not included in the original notice, the application must be re-noticed and recirculated in accordance with the Planning Act. Accordingly, staff recommend that the application be deferred to the August 12, 2026, Committee of Adjustment hearing to allow the revised notice and circulation process to be completed. - 27 - Report MV 38/26 July 8, 2026 Page 2 Date of report: June 29, 2026 Comments prepared by: Planner II Principal Planner AR:jc https://pickeringo365.sharepoint.com/sites/CityDevDept/D3700/Templates/Draft Blank Report Template.docx Attachments Original Signed By Original Signed By Ash Roy Isabel Lima - 28 - ) -04!0/- P](KER]NG City Development Department City of Toronto Location Ma File: MV 38/26 A emount Drive © The Corporation of the City of Pickering Produced (in part) under license from: © King's Printer, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

Nasir 1986 Bowler Drive Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24, to permit a maximum driveway width of 5.2 metres, whereas the By-law permits a maximum driveway width of 3.0 metres. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to permit an additional parking space for a proposed additional dwelling unit. Summary of Findings Based on the application and supporting documentation submitted, the City Development Department has reviewed the proposal in accordance with Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Staff consider the requested variance to be minor, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and consistent with the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Notwithstanding this review, the applicant is responsible for demonstrating the justification for the relief sought and for establishing that the statutory tests are met. 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 driveway, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant’s submitted plans (refer to Attachment 2). Comment Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 The Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (PPS) is a policy statement issued under Section 3 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, which provides direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Decisions of the Committee of Adjustment are required to be consistent with the PPS. Official Plans are intended to be kept up to date with the PPS. However, where a planning authority is required to make a decision before its Official Plan has been updated to reflect the most recent PPS, the decision must nevertheless be consistent with the PPS in effect at the time of the decision. - 30 - Report MV 39/26 July 8, 2026 Page 2 The subject property is located within the Settlement Area, where the PPS supports development that promotes efficient land use and appropriate development patterns. The requested variance facilitates development that is compatible with the existing and permitted use of the property. Staff is satisfied that the proposed variance is consistent with the PPS. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are now deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Plan, the subject property is designated “Urban System – Community Areas”. This designation permits a wide range of uses, including residential. The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area”, which is intended to accommodate residential uses, including additional dwelling units and associated parking. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plans. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “X295” –Exception Zone 295 (SD) under Zoning By-law 8149/24. The intent of the maximum driveway width provision is to ensure that sufficient landscaped area is maintained to support grading and drainage functions, provide an appropriate balance between hard and soft surfaces, and preserve the established streetscape character. The subject property currently contains two required parking spaces for the principal dwelling, and one additional parking space is required for the additional dwelling unit (ADU), for a total of three spaces. It appears that the driveway may have already been extended, or at minimum, the area proposed for widening is currently paved with concrete or asphalt and is being used for parking. The proposed widening would accommodate the additional parking space associated with the ADU. While the proposed driveway width exceeds the maximum permitted by the Zoning By-law, the property continues to maintain an adequate amount of landscaped open space. The applicant has also submitted vehicle maneuvering drawings demonstrating that vehicles can safely access and utilize the parking spaces on-site. Given that the area is already paved and functioning as a parking space, and considering the maintained landscaping and demonstrated parking functionality, the proposed increase in driveway width is not anticipated to result in adverse impacts on neighbouring properties. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. - 31 - Report MV 39/26 July 8, 2026 Page 3 Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed widening will provide the additional parking space required for the ADU, allowing the site to meet the By-law’s parking requirements. The increase in width is modest and does not reduce the landscaped area below the minimum. The proposal is not expected to create adverse impacts on adjacent properties and remains consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance is desirable for the appropriate development of the land and is minor in nature.

Chickanayakanahalli 1826 Floribunda Gardens Application The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 8149/24 to: • permit a porch to encroach into an interior side yard to within 0.35 metres of the side lot line, whereas the By-law permits a porch to encroach into an interior side yard to within 0.6 metres of the side lot line; and • permit stairs to a porch to encroach to within 0.35 metres of the interior side lot line, whereas the By-law permits stairs to a porch or deck to encroach to within 0.6 metres of an interior side lot line. The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application to obtain a building permit for the construction of a side entrance for an additional dwelling unit. Summary of Findings Based on the application and supporting documentation submitted, the City Development Department has reviewed the proposal in accordance with Section 45(1) of the Planning Act. Staff considers the requested variances to be minor, desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and consistent with the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Official Plan As of January 1, 2025, following changes made by Bill 23, applicable parts of the Durham Regional Official Plan are now deemed to be part of Pickering’s Official Plan. Under the Regional Plan, the subject property is designated “Urban System – Community Areas”. This designation permits a wide range of uses, including residential. The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Area” as part of the Lamoreaux Neighbourhood. Lands within this designation are intended to accommodate residential uses including detached dwellings. A porch and associated stairs are a common accessory structure within residential areas. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plans. Conforms to the Intent and Purpose of the Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned “SLD2” – Seaton Low Density Residential 2 under Zoning By-law 8149/24. The intent of the provisions to permit a porch and associated stairs to encroach to within 0.6 of a metre from an interior side lot line is to maintain an adequate buffer space between structures and to accommodate pedestrian access, utility, and residential services. The proposed porch has a three-step crossover design allowing pedestrian access from the front to rear yards. The proposed encroachment maintains sufficient separation from the lot line and is consistent with similar encroachments in the area. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. - 36 - Report MV 40/26 July 8, 2026 Page 3 Desirable for the Appropriate Development of the Land and Minor in Nature The proposed porch will provide access to the additional dwelling unit and represents the only feasible location for the entrance, as the opposite side yard is significantly narrower and cannot reasonably accommodate the required access. The proposed porch and stairs are not expected to create any significant visual or functional impact on adjacent properties or alter the overall character of the neighborhood. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are desirable and appropriate for the development of the land and are minor in nature. Input From Other Sources Applicant • The owner is looking to use the existing stairs to basement as the access to basement as he is proposing to finish basement as a ADU. We are creating a new side entrance door and would need three steps to get to it. It is a detached house so we will still have access to the backyard from the other side. The stairs which we are creating is only three steps and we will have the steps on the other side to avoid blocking access to the backyard from this side too. This will leave us with 0.36m side setback instead law permitted 0.6m setback. Engineering Services • No comments have been received as of the date of writing this report. Building Services • Access/use of the rear yard is severely restricted through this side stair position and required railing restrictions. • Stair to be provided with handrails and guards in compliance with the Ontario Building Code. • Engineering to provide additional comment, adequate site drainage should be considered due to the placement of stair at proximity to the property line. Public Input • No written submissions have been received from the public as of the date of writing this report. - 37 - Report MV 40/26 July 8, 2026 Page 4 Date of report: July 3, 2026 Comments prepared by: Ash Roy Isabel Lima Planner II Principal Planner, Development Review AR:jc /CityDevDept/D3700/2026/MV 40-26/7.
