That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/03, be APPROVED to permit commercial, office, institutional and residential uses, on lands being Part of Lots 17, 18 and 19, Plan 230, City of Pickering, submitted by McDermott & Associates Limited on behalf of 750985 Ontario Limited, (Montessori Learning Centre of Pickering). 2. That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/03, as set out in Appendix I to Report Number 37-03, be FORWARDED to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The applicant is requesting a change to the various zoning designations on the subject lands to implement the City's Official Plan Mixed Use Area - Mixed Corridor designation, to permit the establishment of an integrated office, commercial, institutional and residential land use. The properties are located between Kingston Road and Highway 401, west of Evelyn Avenue (see Location Map, Attachment #1 and Conceptual Development Plans - Phase 1, 2 & 3, Attachment #2). Alterations, demolition and redevelopment are being proposed to the existing buildings and properties in a phased process over a period of time. The proposed mixed uses will be compatible with the existing Montessori School on the subject property. Financial Implications: proposed development. No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the Report PD 37-03 Date: September 26, 2003 Subject: Montessori Learning Centre (A 14/03) Page 2 Background: 1.0 Comments Received 1.1 At August 7,2003 Public Information meeting (see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #4 and #5) 1.2 Agency Comments Veridian Connections Region of Durham 1.3 City Departments Development Control - no objections; - existing service to property may be inadequate, applicant can obtain service upgrade information from Veridian; - (see Attachment #6); - the proposal is permitted by the policies of the Durham Region Official Plan; - municipal water supply and sanitary sewer service are available; - at the time of Site Plan application a traffic report, noise study and soil remediation report will be required for any new, sensitive land use, i.e. Residential and day nursery; - (see Attachments #7 and #8); - stormwater must be addressed; granular parking surface is not acceptable; relocation of the Kingston Road entrance must be assessed; Evelyn Avenue design must be reviewed; - sidewalks will be required across the Kingston Road frontage of the site (City responsibility) with implementation of each phase of development; - improvements on Evelyn Avenue, including sidewalks, will be the owners responsibility; - (see Attachment #9). The above-noted matters may require amendment to the conceptual design at the site plan stage, however, the issues are not considered to be of such significance to prohibit rezoning the subject property. Report PO 37-03 Date: September 26, 2003 Subject: Montessori Learning Centre (A 14/03) Page 3 1.4 2.0 2.1 2.2 Community Comment 1000683 Ontario Limited - occupies 1 Evelyn Avenue, has expressed concern regarding the use of Evelyn Avenue for access and egress to the site; - express concern that increased vehicular demand on Evelyn Avenue will result in loss of revenues to the company; - (see Attachment #10). Discussion History of the Montessori School Site. 1987 - By-law 2497/87 zoned the most westerly two properties subject of this application to permit a wide range of commercial, institutional and office uses (including a Private Non-Residential School I Montessori School); 1997 - By-law 5150/97 expanded the list of permitted uses on the centre parcel subject of this application; 1998 - Committee of Adjustment (PICA 63/98) permitted the establishment of a modular school building on the most westerly parcel. Building to be removed by August 31, 2003; 2003 - Zoning By-law Application A 14/03 submitted to rezone the property supporting the Montessori school and additional properties; - see Attachment #3 for current zoning of the subject properties; - staff support the intent of this zoning by-law application to provide one common zoning over the three parcels of land. Proposed Uses are Compatible with Existing Institutional Uses and Site Function. Commercial Uses The proposed introduction of a mix of commercial uses will not detrimentally impact the existing institutional use of the site. The Montessori Learning Centre is currently operating within a locality that comprises a range of uses including office, auto wreckers and residential. The introduction of similar type uses to the subject property will further reinforce the desired objectives as outlined in the City of Pickering Official Plan and Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Development Guidelines. The proposal will promote the subject site as a mainstreet district that serves the residential neighbourhoods north and south of Highway 401 through increased employment potential, provision of day-to-day services and provide additional educational facilities. Report PD 37-03 Date: September 26, 2003 Subject: Montessori Learning Centre (A 14/03) Page 4 Residential Uses To implement the goals and objectives of the Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Development Guidelines - Rougemount Village Area, it is recommended that low rise apartment uses be permitted on the subject lands. Development similar to the Rougemount Co-op building on the north side of Kingston Road would provide an interesting urban village streetscape. Due to the size of the subject property and density requirements of the Official Plan (over 30 and up to 140 units per hectare) ground related residential development (detached, semi-detached or townhomes) is not recommended as it would not address the requirement of the Official Plan for an urban village form. Consequently the proposed implementing zoning by-law for the subject lands requires an apartment style development (multiple vertical residential). It is anticipated that should residential development be viable for the site that it is likely to occur at the corner of Kingston Road and Evelyn Avenue, providing a focal point to the corner. Building height requirements (minimum 6.5 metres, maximum 18.0 metres) and parking requirements (1.5 parking spaces per unit) will assist to control development of the site. Attachment #10 is a chart outlining existing permitted uses on the subject property under the various applicable zoning categories. 2.3 Establish Build To Zones (BTZ's) to Promote a Mainstreet Environment and Provide the Desired Village Atmosphere. The applicant has proposed that a Build-To-Zone (BTZ) be established to ensure that future development of the subject site be uniform in design and achieve the desired village character, as outlined within the Kingston Road Corridor Guidelines. It is recommended that the entire area fronting Kingston Road and a portion of Evelyn Avenue incorporate BTZ's that are 3.0 metres from the property boundary and 3.0 metres deep. The BTZ are proposed to be broken into three individual BTZ's separated by the property boundaries fronting Kingston Road. It is recommended that the height of buildings within the BTZ in area 'A' on Schedule II of Appendix I be a minimum of 6.5 metres and maximum of 14.0 metres. A conceptual elevation plan for a gymnasium building has been reviewed that indicates a height of 14.0 metres, along a small portion of area 'A', will not detract from the desired village feel. The BTZ within areas 'B' and 'c' of the same schedule should be limited to a minimum height of 6.5 metres and maximum height of 7.5 metres. Further it is recommended that all development within the building envelop be restricted to a height of no more than 18.0 metres. Development between the BTZ's and Kingston Road will not be permitted. The desired outcome is to provide a pedestrian friendly streetscape through the 'stepping' of built form, while maintaining the site's ability to function and accommodate more intensive uses. Report PO 37-03 Date: September 26, 2003 Subject: Montessori Learning Centre (A 14/03) Page 5 2.4 Parking Standards Implemented to Achieve Desired Landuse. In order to promote and maintain the desired village atmosphere of the locality the potential use of the land must be controlled. Specific parking requirements will permit reasonable development of the subject property while. regulating parking associated with uses that are high generators of parking need. Over-intensification of the land will be avoided through this form of control. Preliminary development plans have been submitted by the applicant that show the free and unrestricted movement of traffic within the site and connecting to City and Regional roads. The following table outlines parking standards that are recommended to effectively control future development of the site. Type or Nature of Use Minimum Off Street Parking Requirements Athletic Club and/or Fitness 8 parking spaces per 100 square Establishment, Private / Public Club metres of gross leasable floor area Day Nursery School or Private School 4 parking spaces per 100 square metres of floor area exclusive of the floor areas associated with an auditorium / gymnasium, main entrances, foyers or other common element areas not associated with classrooms Bank and/or Financial Institution, 5.5 spaces per 100 square metres of Business and/or Professional Offices, gross leasable floor area Retail, Commercial or Personal Service Establishments, Dry Cleaners Distribution Centre, Eating Establishment (no drive-thru permitted), Medical or Dental Clinic, or Offices of a Drugless Practitioner Funeral Home The greater of 10 parking spaces or 1 parking space for each 200 square metres of gross floor area Dwelling Unit (apartment) 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit Report PD 37-03 Date: September 26, 2003 Subject: Montessori Learning Centre (A 14/03) Page 6 2.5 Site Functioning to be Addressed Through Site Plan Approval Process. The existing Montessori School use operates in a random manner in terms of school drop-off and pick-up, access and egress and formalized parking. The proposed rezoning is accompanied by a three-phased parking and development plan that has been designed to address and resolve any current concerns (see Attachment #2). Staff has reviewed the three-phase scenario and has determined that the proposal is appropriate subject to alterations through the site plan approval process to ensure its success. The proposal, in addition to providing an adequate number of parking spaces to satisfy City requirements for appropriate forms of development, also includes a formalized student drop-off and pick-up zone. The neighbouring business situated at 1 Evelyn Avenue expressed concern regarding the current queuing of vehicles on Evelyn Avenue that are waiting for children before and after school hours. The conceptual development plan will allow for cars to load and unload passengers on-site without overflowing onto Evelyn Avenue. During peak flow periods the remainder of the parking area will be sufficient to handle any overflow issues. Further, staff anticipates that traffic entering and leaving the site in the first two phases will be directed toward Kingston Road. At the completion of the three-phase development it is acknowledged that there will be an increase of vehicular movement on Evelyn Avenue. Given that this is a short street that will only service the subject site and one other business, it is anticipated that the traffic generated will not be of a level that would be considered unacceptable. As indicated in the comments provided by Development Control, Kingston Road as part of the Site Plan Application process as each phase is developed, sidewalks will be introduced at City's expense.

TO REPORT # PO 37-03 I PART ONE - INTRODUCTION page 7 1.4 Contextual Setting (cont'd) I To the north-east of the site, north of Kingston Road and to the east of the Rougemount Co-operative, there are two residential dwellings which are setback from the Kingston Road corridor on relatively large lots, municipal addresses of 422 and 428 Kingston Road. A third dwelling, municipal address of 440 Kingston Road, is occupied by Treco Real Estate and serves as the sales office for Glen Rouge Homes. Further to the east are the valley lands associated with Petticoat Creek and the new Petticoat Creek Library and Community Centre. I I I The Law Offices of Wakefield, Madger and Hawke are located adjacent the south-easterly corner of the intersection of Kingston Road and Evelyn Avenue, to the east of the lands affected by this application. Immediately to the east of the Law Office is the ravine associated with Petticoat Creek which drains to the south under the Freeway. I As is apparent from the pattern of land use and development, the uses present in the vicinity of the lands affected by this application include a relatively broad range of both residential and non-residential uses and activities, inclusive of institutional, commercial and industrial uses. The anlysis indicates that this is a transitional area in which lower density residential and other non-conforming land uses are gradually being displaced and/or adopted by commercial and/or higher density residential uses consistent with the objectives of the approved Official Plan for the City of Pickering. It follows, therefore, that the pattern of land use and development in this area is evolving over time and is, to a a larger degree, dependent upon continued investment by the private sector. I I I I 1.5 Conceptual Development Plan I With assembly of the three properties, municipal addresses of 401, 409 and 417 Kingston Road, our client proceeded with the preparation of a conceptual plan which promotes a comprehensive approach to the future use and development of the lands situated to the south of Kingston Road, west of Evelyn Avenue, inclusive of the two remnant parcels under the ownership of the Province of Ontario. The conceptual development plan promotes the mainstreet concept expressed in the City of Pickering Official Plan through the introduction of buildings within the streetscape and the creation well define focal points of interest and activity within the community. I I I Given the significant capital costs associated with the acquisition of lands and the construction / demolition of existing structures and related works and site services, it is proposed that redevelopment of the lands be phased over the next five to ten years consistent with market demands and growth related pressures. An overview of each phase of the redevelopment proposal is provided below. Conceptual drawings of each phase are provided at Tab 5 to this submission.

TO HEPORT # PD 37-03 PART ONE - INTRODUCTION page 8 1.5 Conceptual Development Plan (cont'd) Phase One The initial phase leading to the redevelopment of the property involved the acquisition of 417 Kingston Road and conversion of the former McWilliams residence to allow the use of the structure for classrooms and/or offices. It will further be necessary to provide additional off-street parking in the front and rear yards of the former McWilliams property to facilitate current operations. The works proposed to the former McWilliams residence and exterior areas will be of an interim nature to minimize disruption during construction of an addition to the primary facility located at 401 Kingston Road. Upon completion of the renovations and related site works, the Montessori Learning Center will proceed to finalize the plans for a three storey addition to the existing structure located at 401 Kingston Road. The addition would provide forthe introduction of athree storey structure adjacent the frontage of Kingston Road. Conceptual elevation drawings prepared by Allen & Sherriff, the architects retained by the Montessori Learning Centre, are attached hereto at Tab 6. The proposed addition, having a gross floor area of approximately 1,247 square metres, will provide an auditorium/gymnasium and main entrance foyer having a height of 5 metres with the second and third storey classrooms resulting in an overall height of approximately 12.2 metres. Given the grade of the lands relative to Kingston Road, the addition will appear to be a two and one-half storey structure adjacent the more westerly property line. In proceeding with the addition, the Montessori Learning Centre proposes a minimum setback of. 3 metres adjacentthe front IQt line consistent with the build-to-zones established in other areas along the Kingston Road corridor. In an effort to create a focal point of interest and downtown or mainstreet environment, the proposed addition includes a bell tower on the north-east corner of the structure. The tower will represent a significant architectural element within the streets cape and symbolize the educational function of the building. It is further proposed that the roof line of the addition will be similar to that of the Rougemount Co-operative located opposite the Montessori Learning Centre, adjacoot the northerly limits of Kingston Road. With construction of the addition to 401 Kingston Road, the Montessori Learning Centre will endeavour to negotiate the purchase and/or lease of the land locked parcel of land owned by the Province of Ontario to the rear of 401 Kingston Road. This area will be maintained by the Montessori Learning Centre to provide 16 off-street parking spaces which will be primarily utilized by Staff to accommodate long term parking events during construction of this addition. To ensure provision of adequate off-street parking during Phase One, the Montessori Learning Centre is attempting to enter a lease with the Province to provide for the establishment of a temporary off-street parking area on the surplus lands, address 4 Evelyn Avenue. It is anticipated that this area will facilitate an additional 16 off-street parking spaces on a temporary basis during construction of the addition to 401 Kingston Road.

TO REPORT # PO 37-03 I PART ONE - INTRODUCTION page 9 1.5 Conceptual Development Plan (cont'd) I Phase Two I The second phase of redevelopment will involve demolition of the former Shortreed residence and removal of the modular classroom facility located at 409 Kingston Road. Upon removal of the existing structures, the entrance from Kingston Road will be reconfigured and a well defined off- street parking area will be constructed which will include a short term lay-by parking area adjacent the easterly facade of the structure. Concurrent with the construction of the new off-street parking area in 2005, the outdoor playground will be regraded to provide for outdoor activities and playfields. I I I The site improvements proposed during Phase Two will be undertaken to facilitate the ultimate redevelopment of the lands situated adjacent the south-west corner of the intersection of Kingston Road and Evelyn Avenue. Ultimately, it is proposed that internal driveways will provide access to a shared use parking facility. Provision of such facilities will accommodate special events in the evening hours at the school. I I Phase Three I The third phase provides for the demolition of the former McWilliams residence and construction of a business and/or professional office complex adjacent the south-west corner of the inters~ction of Kingston Road and Evelyn Avenue. The future division of tlíe lands to facilitate constructìon of Phase 3 is dependent upon successful negotiations with the Province of Ontario in relation to the purchase of the remnant parcel adjacent the northerly limits of Evelyn Avenue. I I Based upon our discussions with the Ministry of Transportation, the remnant parcel of land is designated as a controlled access highway. To facilitate sale of the lands, the Ministry advises that it will first be necessary to obtain an Order in Council to remove the controlled access designp.tion. Subsequently, it will be necessary for the Ministry to initiate a process whereby the lands are declared surplus and offered for sale in accordance with the normal practices and procedures of the Province. I I I Ministry Staff advise that removal of the controlled access designation is a time consuming process which will only be initiated upon receipt of a formal request from our client or other person or agency. Consequently, it is unreasonable for the Montessori Learning Centre to proceed with the filing of such a request until By-law No. 3036 is amended to facilitate the ultimate redevelopment of the lands as illustrated on the Conceptual Plan.

It is anticipated that Phase One, which involves the construction of the proposed addition to the school, will commence in the Spring or early Summer of 2004 and that the new facility will require 9 to 12 months to complete. Phase Two would therefore be completed during the following summer with all site works completed by the Fall of 2005. Phase Three is dependent upon the acquisition of the lands from the Province and the co- ordination of redevelopment efforts with the City and the Region. By allowing development to proceed in a phased manner, the City will realize the long term vision for this area during the next ten to fifteen years consistent with the continued growth and developmentof Pickering.

Mud tracking onto Evelyn Ave. and Kingston Road would create a continual maintenance problem. An alternative surface could be explored during the approval process. 2) Completing the sidewalk on Kingston Road is an important City initiative. We anticipate requiring it completed across this frontage with any additional development. A future relocation of the Kingston Road frontage may warrant a delay in the sidewalk extension. ATTACHMENT # 9 TO Montessori Learning Centre S14/98 REPORT # PO 37-D3 Conceptual Development of Future Works ." September 8,2003 Page 2 PHASE 2 1) Relocation of the Kingston Road entrance may need to be reassessed. The proposed location would require additional lane extensions and curb tapers as was required with the initial entrance. The proximity to Evelyn Ave. may not permit it, pending Region of Durham review. There appears to be a large hydro pole and a ditch inlet catchbasin that would require relocation for this entrance. There would be an additional cost to close the existing entrance. 2) 3) A sidewalk on Kingston Road to Evelyn Ave. would be required with this Phase. Again, the surface drainage and proposed surface on the parking areas on Evelyn Ave. would need to be addressed. PHASE 3 1 ) The entrance on Evelyn Ave. will be determined depending on existing conditions and limit of the existing portion of Evelyn Ave. We require sufficient distance south of the entrance to provide for snow storage. This proposal, as indicated, may require extending Evelyn Ave. further south or moving the entrance further north. 2) 3) Drainage and stormwater management will need to be addressed for this site. Our comments from Phase 2 proposal regarding the Kingston Road entrance remain for this proposal. ~ ~"., Robert Starr RS:bg mike - 8149B - Montessori - conceptuel development of future works Þ.TTACHMENT #~,~/ 0 __TO REPORT # PO _Jj7 ..- 0 3 - 1;'."""

ONTAfii,,) Clerk's D~rtment corP9~~on of the 1 The Esplanade Pickering, Ontario Llv 6k7 City of Pickering Dear Sir/Madam: Re: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/03 - Montessori Learning Centre (750985 Ontario Ltd.) 401, 409, 417 Kingston Road & 4 Evelyn Avenue, City of Pickering We are in receipt of the proposed development plan and would express the following concerns: The plans seem to channel all the traffic from both the Montessori school and the proposed commercial development onto Evelyn Avenue. As you are aware, Evelyn Avenue is a very short avenue, being cut off by the 401. As you are also aware, the office parking for 1 Evelyn Avenue is parallel to the property, As we have seen from the current access to the Montessori schools, there is a substantial amount of traffic dropping children off in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon, which, if channelled through Evelyn Avenue, would have the effect of blocking access to the parking spaces for 1 Evelyn Avenue. We would anticipate that stream of traffic, especially since a fair number of the cars would be attempting to make a left to proceed westbound on Kingston Road, would take a substantial amount of time to complete that turn, especially during rush hour on Highway 2, thereby further exasperating access to the parking spots for the clientele of our office. ¡~ 'iT AGHMENT # ~-",,¿ÇL",- TO HEYORT 1/ PD__~e.§- As such, we would ask to have further input into the development, so that it does not affect us in such economic manner.
