SUBJECT:
City Initiated Applications to Amend the
Pickering Official Plan OPA 02-003/P and
Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 19/02
To Permit Accessory Dwelling Units in Existing Dwelling Units
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
That Council direct staff to schedule and advertise a formal public meeting on the
proposed amendment to the City of Pickering Official Plan and amendments to
the City's zoning by-laws to permit accessory dwelling units in the City of
Pickering.
That following the formal public meeting, staff bring forward a report that
responds to the issues identified at the public meeting on the proposed
amendments to the City of Pickering Official Plan, Zoning By-laws and a
recommendation on a registration by-law all related to accessory dwelling units.
Executive Summary: This report seeks Council's authorization to hold a Statutory
Public Meeting respecting the introduction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) within
detached and semi-detached dwellings, provided the dwelling can satisfy certain
performance standards.
Through this review process consideration will be given to the preparation of a
registration by-law which will require that all ADU be registered by the property owners
and satisfy the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code and Ontario Building Code.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City will result from the recommendation
to hold a Statutory Public Meeting respecting the introduction of zoning and official plan
provisions to allow an Accessory Dwelling Unit.

Background:
Previous Activity Respecting Consideration of ADU
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) also referred to, as "basement apartments",
"accessory apartments", or "in-law suites" are self-contained living areas
(apartments) that homeowners create within their house, making it a house with
two residential dwelling units.
A previous public consultation process was undertaken and a formal Statutory Public
Meeting respecting Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) was held November21,2002.
Written comments received from three citizens, all expressing opposition to the
proposal to permit ADU in existing dwelling units.
Limited public participation resulted from this previous process. At that time City
staff had not formulated a complete implementation program. Following the
public meeting staff reviewed the details of rezoning to permit ADU and the
implementation of a registry for such units. Several meetings were held with
representatives of Fire Services, Clerk's, Building and Planning & Development
staff to discuss the implications on the City and City staff of permitting ADU within
residential dwellings.
A complete review of the issues was conducted and an implementation program,
including the introduction of a Registry By-law was prepared. The following
Discussion Section briefly outlines the area of discussion that will be addressed
through the Public Information Meeting and circulation of notice of these
applications.
Staff has prepared a Discussion Paper on ADU that outlines the issues identified
and provides staff comments to date. This Discussion Paper on ADU is attached
as Attachment #1 to this report.
Discussion
ADU have existed for Numerous Years
ADU have existed in Pickering for numerous years, they have been constructed
in existing dwelling units without the benefit of a building permit or complying with
existing zoning regulations, resulting in the vast majority of accessory dwelling
units being illegal.
ADU are not currently formally tracked or registered in the City, so it is not known
exactly how many dwellings currently contain an ADU. The City is usually made
aware of possible illegal ADU's by complaints from neighbours, inspection of a
property by the Fire Services Division, through the review of building permit plans for
alterations to existing dwellings or through real estate advertisements.

2.5
ADU require a total of Three On-Site Parking Spaces
In permitting ADU there is a need to provide additional parking beyond the two
spaces commonly required by existing zoning for residential dwellings.
Additional parking should be provided entirely on the private property on an
appropriate hard surface and should not encroach onto the municipal boulevard.
It is being recommended that a dwelling with an ADU provide a total of three
parking spaces.
Detached and Semi-detached Units to be permitted an ADU
A residential lot should be of sufficient size to accommodate certain needs of the
residents of both the main dwelling unit and the ADU. This includes a lot that can
provide a dwelling structure that can accommodate the two dwelling units,
appropriate outdoor amenity space and sufficient space to accommodate the
parking requirements. Detached dwelling and semi-detached dwellings have
sufficient lot area to accommodate the minimum spacial requirements for two
dwelling units.
Safety Matters may be addressed through Registration of an ADU
The vast majority of ADU that currently exist in Pickering were built without a
building permit and therefore without a review or inspection of safety
requirements. These requirements relate to the Ontario Building Code, the
Ontario Fire Code and Electrical Safety Authority. This could result in tenants
living in unsafe and substandard living environments.
All ADU should be inspected to ensure that the minimum standards are complied
with. A registration requirement would enable the City to require that all ADU be
properly inspected and comply with all safety requirements prior to being
registered.
Property Standards By-law to be Enforced as necessary
Some existing dwellings that have an ADU are not provided with the same level
of up-keep as neighbouring properties. The concerns relate to yard
maintenance, general building maintenance, excessive garbage, parking on the
front lawn and a general lack of pride of ownership. Property standard concerns
are not unique to dwellings that contain an ADU. This issue can occur in any
type of dwelling unit, or any type of ownership.
The City has a property standards by-law and does investigate and enforce the
by-law when complaints are received. It is also recognized that the majority of
dwellings with ADU are maintained in a fashion that is comparable to the other
dwelling units in the neighbourhood.

Existing Servicing/Infrastructure is adequate for ADU
City staff have consulted with other municipalities that allow ADU and they all
advised that their experience is that there was not a significant increase in new
ADU when their municipality permitted ADU as-of-right, but rather an increase in
the known number of ADU as existing ADU could be recognized and registered.
It is understood that existing infrastructure will be able to support the recognition
of ADU's in the City since a considerable number already exist and the current
infrastructure is functioning appropriately.
Social Benefits are provided by an ADU
ADU may provide homeowners with additional revenue to be put toward the cost of
home ownership or home maintenance. The additional revenue could be
especially beneficial for homeowners living on a fixed income, such as seniors
who desire to remain in their home.
Some ADU are created in order to assist in a family issue where family members
of the property owner live in the ADU to assist in either a financial, medical or
emotional situation of the other family member. ADU provide homeowners with
flexibility as homeowners can adapt their home to best suit their changing
financial, social and space needs; this allows homeowners to add or remove an
accessory dwelling as their needs change.
Technical requirements for Implementation (Official Plan and Zoning
By-law Amendments and Registration By-law Required)
Official Plan
An Official Plan amendment is required to clarify the calculation of net residential
density. An amendment to the Official Plan is recommended that will enable the
introduction of accessory dwelling units without affecting permitted residential
densities. A copy of the proposed Official Plan amendment is attached as part of
Attachment #1 to this report.
Zoning By-law(s)
A zoning by-law amendment is required to the four (4) parent zoning by-laws in
order to permit ADU.
The proposed amendments would include new definitions and a performance
standard that must be satisfied for a detached dwelling or a semi-detached
dwelling to qualify for an ADU. These would include the requirement to provide a
total of three (3) parking spaces on private property for any dwelling unit that has
an ADU. An example of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is attached as
part of Attachment #1 to this report.

Registration By-law
The Municipal Act provides municipalities with the ability to require the
registration of ADU on a one-time only basis, including a registration fee. A copy
of the proposed Registration by-law is attached as part of Attachment #1 to this
report.
Registration would entail inspection, thereby assuring the City that existing ADU
conform to the applicable Fire and Building Codes, and allowing residents within
those homes to be potentially safer in threat of fire.
Enforcement of Zoning and Registration requirements to ensure
compliance
By addressing the issue of ADU the City will be formally taking a position on the
appropriateness of this form of housing.
Should the applications to permit ADU be approved, certain ADU within the City
will not meet the proposed minimum zoning standards that are being proposed.
This will result in increased enforcement that may result in prosecutions and
eviction of tenants.
Should the applications to permit ADU be refused, City action will be required to
investigate and eliminate existing illegal ADU, which could result in significant
prosecutions and/or evictions.
Net Steps
Statutory Public Information Meetinq - June 10, 2004
A public consultation process, in the form of a formal public meeting, should be
held to consider the recommended amendments to the Official Plan and zoning
by-laws. The proposed registration by-law should also be presented at the public
meeting to allow for public input.
Should Council authorize staff to schedule and advertise a formal Public meeting
on Accessory Dwelling Units, it is proposed that the Statutory Public meeting be
scheduled for Thursday, June 10, 2004. This would be a separate, additional
Public meeting, for this issue only.
Public Meeting Notice to be provided
Notice of the June 10, 2004 Public Information meeting would be provided by:

1.0 Introduction
2.0
3.0
This Discussion Paper provides Staff Comments prepared to date for inclusion in
the proposed Information Report to be prepared for the June 10, 2004 Statutory
Public Information Meeting for Accessory Dwelling Units in the City of Pickering.
The proposal is to amend the City of Pickering Official Plan and zoning by-laws in
order to permit accessory dwelling units (ADU) in detached dwellings and
semi-detached dwellings provided the dwelling can satisfy certain performance
standards. The Official Plan amendment will provide clarification regarding how
net residential density is calculated when existing dwellings have accessory
dwelling units.
Part of the consideration is that the City investigate the drafting of a registration
by-law which will require that all ADU be registered by the property owners and
satisfy the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code and Ontario Building Code.
Financial Implications on the City
No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the applications to amend
the Official Plan and zoning by-laws to permit ADU in Pickering.
There will be costs associated with a registration by-law in terms of staff
administration, inspections and enforcement/prosecution of illegal accessory
dwelling units.
There is a proposed registration fee that will help off-set the cost of staff
administration of a registration by-law. It is anticipated that the registration fee
will not cover all costs associated with all aspects of enforcing the registration
by-law.
It is recognized that a registration by-law will increase the workload of various
Departments within the City. This would include Fire Services, Municipal Law
Enforcement Services, Legal Services and Building Services. This increased
workload should not have an impact on the ability of staff to provide the current
level of service with the existing staff compliment.
Applications to Permit Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are also referred to, as "basement apartments",
"accessory apartments", or "in-law suites" are self-contained apartments that
homeowners create within their house, making it a house with two residential
dwelling units.

ADU have existed in Pickering for numerous years, they have been constructed
in existing dwelling units without the benefit of a building permit or complying with
existing zoning regulations, resulting in the vast majority of accessory dwelling
units being illegal. ADU are not currently formally tracked or registered in the
City, so it is not known exactly how many dwellings currently contain a ADU. The
City is made aware of possible illegal ADU by complaints from neighbours,
inspection of properties by the Fire Services Division, through the review of building
permit plans for alterations to existing dwellings or through real estate
advertisements.
The matter of ADU is a complex issue that needs to be addressed in some
fashion. As with any complex issue there are many different viewpoints that
need to be taken into consideration. From a social point of view, ADU provide
the community with a supply of affordable housing without the need for
government subsidizes. From an economic point of view, ADU provide additional
rental income for homeowners. From a sustainability perspective, ADU provide
additional housing intensification that will utilize the existing built form and
infrastructure. From a neighbourhood perspective ADU can be seen as having a
negative impact due to concerns with disruptive tenants, on-street parking
problems, increased neighbourhood traffic and perceptions of decreased
property values. From a municipal perspective ADU have caused an
administration problem. Since most ADU have been built without a building
permit or proper zoning they are illegal. When City staff, particularly
Fire Services, inspect an ADU and require certain improvements, from a life and
safety requirement, a building permit may not be able to be issued as ADU are
not a permitted use. Therefore, a Fire Marshals order must be obtained to rectify
the life and safety issues.
By addressing the issue of ADU the City will be formally taking a position on the
appropriateness of this form of housing. If these applications are approved it
must be realized that certain ADU within the City will not meet the proposed
minimum zoning standards that are being proposed and this will result in
increased enforcement that may result in prosecutions and eviction of tenants. If
these applications are refused, the City should then take appropriate action to
investigate and eliminate all of the existing illegal ADU that staff is aware of
which could result in significant prosecutions and/or evictions.
ADU have become over time an important element in the overall municipal
housing supply. The City of Pickering, along with most other urban municipalities
in Ontario are experiencing a shortage in affordable rental housing. In the past
few years very limited new affordable rental dwelling units have been
constructed. This combined with the overall Iow rental vacancy rate has resulted
in a shortfall of affordable rental housing. ADU have filled some of the gap in the
shortfall of affordable rental housing.

The issue of ADU is not unique to Pickering, but rather an issue that all
municipalities are dealing with. Certain GTA municipalities have already
addressed the issue and have amended their planning documents to permit
accessory dwelling units in their municipality (Ajax, Oshawa, Clarington,
Newmarket, and Toronto) while other municipalities are currently investigating
the issue (Markham, Burlington and Whitby).
Previous Resident Comments
These applications were subject to a public consultation process and comments
have been received on the proposed applications. A formal Statutory Public
Meeting on the proposal was held November 21, 2002. Written comments have
also been received from three citizens, all expressing opposition to the proposal
to permit ADU in existing dwelling units (see Attachments #1 to fl4). Section 4.0
of this Discussion Paper identifies the issues that have been identified and a
response is provided.
Agency Comments
The Region of Durham has advised that the proposed amendments are in
conformity with the Durham Region Official Plan, there are no concerns from a
servicing perspective and that no provincial interest appears to be affected by the
applications (see Attachment #5).
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has advised that they have no
concerns with permitting ADU. They have expressed a concern if an existing
dwelling unit is located in hazard lands, then it must be demonstrated that the
hazard could be appropriately addressed to ensure that an increase exposure
will not result (see Attachment #6).
Discussion
Response to Issues Identified
Affordable Housing/Social Benefits
The supply of affordable housing is an issue that is facing all municipalities. The
supply of affordable housing is not solely the responsibility of the municipal
governments, but rather an issue that involves all levels of government. The
senior levels of government, being the federal and provincial governments are
responsible for set policies and providing access for funding for the construction
of affordable housing.

Attachment # 1 to Report # PD 18-04
Discussion Paper on Accessory Dwelling Units
City of Pickering
Page 4
The local governments are responsible for implementing housing policies and
creating appropriate local regulations that encourage the private sector to assist
in the creation of affordable housing. One such method is by implementing
Official Plan polices and zoning by-law regulations that permit the creation of
affordable housing within the community. The subject applications propose to
implement existing Official Plan polices that recognizes the City's responsibility to
assist in the development of affordable housing.
Accessory dwelling units were recently brought to City Council's attention in the
report from the Regional Chair's Task Force on Sustainable/Affordable Housing. One
of the recommendations of the Task Force was that area municipalities be
encouraged to amend zoning by-laws to permit accessory apartments as-of-right
in all detached dwellings, subject to Ontario Building and Fire Codes and local
building codes and standards in order to provide additional affordable rental
housing. The need for additional rental housing is indicated in the vacancy rate for
apartments which is approximately 2.3 percent of all rental apartments.
ADU are cost effective as they utilize existing infrastructure and provide an
alternative form of housing that does not require government subsidization. ADU
also provide affordable housing that is integrated into existing neighbourhoods
and not concentrated in one specific area.
There are numerous social and financial impacts to both homeowner and the
community that result from permitting ADU. One of the most important benefits
is an increase in the amount of rental housing, most of which would be classified
as being affordable. ADU can also be a means of introducing social diversity into
a community by integrating another form of housing into traditional Iow density
neighbourhoods. ADU may provide homeowners with additional revenue to be put
toward the cost of home ownership or home maintenance. The additional revenue
could be especially beneficial for homeowners living on a fixed income, such as
seniors who desire to remain in their home. Some ADU are created in order to
assist in a family issue where family members of the property owner live in the
ADU to assist in either a financial, medical or emotional situation of the other
family member. ADU provide homeowners with flexibility as homeowners can
adapt their home to best suit their changing financial, social and space needs;
this allows homeowners to add or remove an accessory dwelling as their needs
change.
Should Council permit ADU as a permitted use in the City and adopts a
registration by-law, the City will then be in a better position to investigate all
suspected illegal ADU and to require the removal of units that do not meet
minimum municipal standards and that represent a potential danger to their
inhabitants.

On-Site Parking
In permitting ADU there is a need to provide additional parking beyond the two
spaces commonly required by existing zoning for residential dwellings.
Additional parking should be provided entirely on the private property on an
appropriate hard surface and should not encroach onto the municipal boulevard.
It is being recommended that a dwelling with an ADU provide a total of three
parking spaces.
The additional parking requirement of the ADU must be accommodated on
private property without undue negative impact on the streetscape. The parking
demands for the average detached dwelling may be less than the demands for a
detached dwelling with an ADU. The City, through review of curb cut requests,
can control the placement of additional parking spaces. Curb cuts should be
reflective of the size of the lots. Therefore on small lots the curb cut are small
and on large lots the curb cut may be able to be increased.
Curb cuts also impact on the amount of space that is available for on-street
parking as the size of the curb cut has a direct relationship to the amount of curb
space there is available for on-street parking.
Lot Size
In terms of the appropriate lot size that can accommodate an ADU the lot should
be able to accommodate certain needs of the residents of both the main dwelling
unit and the ADU. This includes a lot that can provide a dwelling structure that
can accommodate the two dwelling units, appropriate outdoor amenity space and
sufficient space to accommodate the parking requirements.
Unit Type
Having regard for the minimum lot area requirements, it is concluded that only
traditionally Iow density housing types such as detached dwelling and
semi-detached dwellings have sufficient lot area to accommodate the minimum
area requirements for two dwelling units. This includes space for an appropriate
size of the original dwelling, an outdoor amenity space that is appropriately
located and the space to meet the parking standards. Almost all freehold
townhouse dwelling units are on lots smaller than lots that contain detached
dwellings and semi-detached dwellings. Therefore for this type of unit to be able
to provide the necessary special requirements for an accessory dwelling unit
would be rare and an exception to the normal standard. Therefore it is
recommended that only detached dwellings and semi-detached dwellings shall
be permitted to have ADU as of right.

Attachment # 1 to Report # PD 18-04
Discussion Paper on Accessory Dwelling Units
City of Pickering

4.1.6
Most townhouse developments are already a form of medium density and
permitting ADU in this form of dwelling would have an impact on neighbourhood.
The standards that are being proposed may not be met by all semi-detached
dwellings. These dwellings are the exception to the standard that exists
throughout the municipality and should be provided the opportunity to have an
accessory dwelling unit. And while it is recognized that municipal wide zoning
by-laws are designed for the general circumstance and cannot take into
consideration all possibilities for the entire municipality there is a process in the
Planning Act that allows for the consideration of minor variances to the by-law.
The Committee of Adjustment could consider applications that do not meet the
letter of the by-law but are considered to meet the intent of the by-law while being
considered to be minor variance and appropriate development.
Safety of ADU
The issue of safety of ADU relates to the fact that the vast majority of ADU that
currently exist in Pickering were built without a building permit and therefore
without a review or inspection of safety requirements. These requirements relate
to the Ontario Building Code, the Ontario Fire Code and Electrical Safety
Authority. This could result in tenants living in unsafe and substandard living
environments. All ADU should be inspected to ensure that the minimum
standards are complied with. A registration requirement would enable the City to
require that all ADU be properly inspected and comply with all safety
requirements prior to being registered.
Property Standards
It is recognized that some existing dwellings that have an ADU are not provided
with the same level of up-keep as neighbouring properties. The concerns relate
to yard maintenance, general building maintenance, excessive garbage, parking
on the front lawn and a general lack of pride of ownership. The majority of these
property standard problems relate to ADU where the property owner does not
reside in the dwelling unit. In instances of absentee landlords and property
standard concern this is not a unique issue with dwellings that have ADU, as this
issue can occur in any type of dwelling unit. The City does have a property
standards by-law and does investigate and enforce the by-law when complaints
are received. It is also recognized that the majority of dwellings with ADU are
maintained in a fashion that is comparable to the other dwelling units in the
neighbourhood.

Servicing and Infrastructure
This issue relates to the ability of the existing municipal services and
infrastructure supporting an increase in dwelling units. City staff have consulted
with other municipalities that allow ADU and they all advised that their experience
is that there was not a significant increase in new ADU when their municipality
permitted ADU as-of-right, but rather an increase in the known number of ADU
as existing ADU could be recognized and registered.
Therefore the existing infrastructure will likely be able to support the authorization
of allowing ADU in the City since a considerable number already exist. If over
time ADU are seen to be having an impact on the infrastructure, the design
standards can be updated so that new infrastructure works (both replacement
and new development) will accommodate ADU.
Property Assessment and Municipal Taxes
In reviewing property assessment the determining factor for assessment value is
"finished" floor area. An example is that there is no difference in assessment
values between houses with basements that are finished for personal use and
those basements that are finished in order to provide an accessory dwelling unit
provided the level/degree of "finishing" is the same. However, an accessory
dwelling unit may be created without significant improvements to the existing
dwelling if the entire original dwelling was completed "finished" and only minor
modifications are required in order to create the accessory dwelling unit. The
establishment of most accessory dwelling units does result in improvements to
the original dwelling that will result in an increase in the assessment value of the
property. Since municipal taxes are directly related to property assessment,
should there be an increase in property assessment due to the establishment of
an accessory dwelling unit, the municipal taxes for a property will also increase.
Since the vast majority of existing houses that contain an accessory dwelling unit
were built without obtaining a building permit it can be assumed that the
properties have not been properly assessed and therefore are not being
appropriately taxed given the improvements that may have be done in order to
establish the accessory dwelling unit.
Official Plan Amendment
An Official Plan amendment is required to clarify density calculation for houses
that have an ADU. Currently the Official Plan defines net residential density as
the total number of dwellings per hectare of net residential site area.
Attachment # 1 to Report # PD 18-04
Discussion Paper on Accessory Dwelling Units
City of Pickering

7.1
If this definition were to apply to existing detached dwelling units that have an
ADU within them, the density for any specific property would double which may
result in the specific property having a density greater than the permitted limit in
the Official Plan. ADU are proposed to be permitted only in detached dwellings
and semi-detached dwellings and these type of dwelling units are mostly located
in areas designated as Urban Residential Area-Low Density Area which has a
maximum density of up to and including 30 dwellings per net hectare.
Therefore, an amendment to the Official Plan is recommended that will enable
the introduction of accessory dwelling units without affecting permitted residential
densities or the requirement for further Official Plan amendment.
The proposed amendment is to Section 3.4 (a) that would change the definition
of net residential density so that accessory dwelling units are not considered as
dwelling unit for the purpose of density calculations. A copy of the proposed
Official Plan amendment is attached as Appendix I to this Discussion Paper.
Zoning Standards
A zoning by-law amendment is required to the four (4) parent zoning by-laws in
order to permit ADU. The proposed amendments would include new definitions
and a performance standard that must be satisfied for a detached dwelling or a
semi-detached dwelling to qualify for an ADU. These would include the
requirement to provide a total of three (3) parking spaces on private property for
any dwelling unit that has an ADU. A draft copy of an example of a proposed
zoning by-law amendment is attached as Appendix II to this Discussion Paper.
Registration
Registration Overview
The Municipal Act provides municipalities with the ability to register ADU. In
May 1996, when the Land Use Planning and Protection Act (Bill 20) took effect,
the Act that restored the municipal zoning authority to control where ADU may be
created and the standards that would apply also provided municipalities with the
authority to require the registration of ADU on a one-time only basis, including a
registration fee. A registration system would also constitute an inventory of ADU,
with the requirement for ADU to be registered.
The greatest benefit of a Registration system is that it compels homeowners to
declare the existence of their ADU. Registration would entail inspection, thereby
assuring the City that existing ADU conform to the applicable Fire and Building
Codes, and allowing residents within those homes to be potentially safer in threat
of fire.

7.2
A homeowner would apply for registration, and if the ADU complied with all
applicable laws it could become registered. A registry system provides the only
mechanism through which the municipality can require owners to come forward
and have the municipality inspect their ADU for compliance with the applicable
legislation.
Currently, City staff are made aware of ADU when someone complains to by-law
enforcement or through Fire prevention inspection. Tenants may be aware of
deficiencies in their accessory dwelling unit but reluctant to complain for fear they
will be evicted. As a result, there are undoubtedly many ADU that do not meet
minimum health and safety standards. These are the units that need to be
inspected and the units either fixed up to meet the minimum requirements or the
ADU removed from the house.
The establishment of a registration by-law will place the onus on the property
owner of ADU to register their building with the City. Under the enabling
legislation, both dwelling units must be self-contained dwelling units consisting of
their own kitchen and bathroom. The registration does not apply to buildings that
have been converted to contain three or more dwelling units.
A registration by-law shall specify the standards that a house with an ADU must
meet to be eligible for registration. It must comply with the City's by-laws,
(zoning, property standards, and smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detectors)
the Ontario Fire Code and the Ontario Building Code. These requirements
include matters such as, but not limited to, electrical safety, fire separations,
smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire exits, any structural changes to
the dwelling units (such as new or enlarged windows), access and egress,
ventilation, heating and parking.
Registration By-law Impacts on City Staffing
With the adoption of a registration by-law additional responsibilities and workload
will result on certain City staff. It is anticipated that Fire Services Division will
experience the majority of additional workload and will therefore impact on their
allocation of resources. One of the key components of a registration by-law is to
ensure that all ADU meet minimum life and safety requirements. Since most
property owners who apply for registration of their ADU will be for existing ADU
the focus of inspections will be by the Fire Prevention Inspectors. Since
Fire Services will be handling the majority of the inspections it has been
concluded that they would be the administrators of the registration by-law. This
way one department will be responsible for the acceptance of applications,
inspections and approval of ADU.

Fire Services will coordinate with other City department's appropriate inspections
and requirements. Other departments that may experience additional workloads
include: Building Services when there are OBC or building permit issues;
Planning for zoning issues; Municipal Property & Engineering for curb cut
requests and refuse pick-up; Municipal Law Enforcement Services for
enforcement of ADU that do not comply with the zoning by-law of the registration
by-law.
The impacts of a registration by-law are not anticipated to have a significant
impact on the overall operation of different City departments that would result in a
reduction of the level of service provided. Investigations with other municipalities
have indicated that with the adoption of a registration by-law there will not be a
significant number of initial applications to register ADU. It is anticipated that
applications will be submitted on an on-going basis rather than a significant
number of applications being submitted all at one time. It is anticipated that
existing staff will carry out the administration and enforcement of the proposed
registration by-law.
Registration By-law Fees
Provincial legislation provides municipalities the opportunity to charge a one-time
registration fee for ADU. It is anticipated that the fees municipalities charge be
directly related to the cost of implementing the registration system. There is a
concern, however, that imposing too high a registration fee might discourage
residents from registering second units, thereby defeating the benefits of a
registration system; yet too Iow a fee would not adequately reflect the costs of
implementing the registry and conducting the necessary home inspection(s). It is
also not considered appropriate to have the registration system significantly
subsidized by the general taxpayers when the benefit of the ADU is to the
property owner.
The registration fee of other municipalities vary from small fees that would not
cover staff cost (i.e. Oshawa $100, Clarington $150, Oakville $200) to fees that
are intended to recover all costs (i.e. Brampton $900, East Gwillimbury $1000,
Ottawa $1500).
The registration fee should cover the costs of a typical application. This fee
should include the following cost:
- receive and review applications for completeness and that all necessary
information is provided;
- research and review property history along with factual information such as
zoning;
Attachment # 1 to Report # PD 18-04
Discussion Paper on Accessory Dwelling Units
City of Pickering
019

7.4
initial inspection of property and dialogue with property owner and recording
of information on the inspection (inspection could be from Fire Prevention
Inspector, Building Inspector and/or By-law Enforcement Inspector for zoning
and property standard);
follow-up inspection to ensure all deficiencies have been addressed;
preparing final report and issuance of acceptance of the ADU for registration.
It is anticipated that the above typical application would incur a staff cost of
approximately $500. Therefore, it is recommended that the registration fee of
$500 be charged for each application to register an ADU.
As an incentive to register it is being proposed that the registration fee be
reduced to $250 for the first six months after the adoption of the registration
by-law. This initial reduced fee, while not covering all staff cost, is considered
appropriate as it encourages prompt registration by reducing the registration fee.
Registration Implementation
A registration by-law should identify who the registrar will be. The Fire Chief
should be the official registrar since the by-law is proposed to be administered by
Fire Services. The Fire Chief could delegate the actual administrative duties of
the registrar to other Fire Services staff. Fire Services will receive, circulate and
ultimately register the ADU.
It is anticipated the adoption of the registration by-law will provide a specific date
when the by-law will come into force. This date should be a few months after the
adoption of the registration by-law in order to allow time to disseminate the
information about the requirement to register all ADU. A public information
campaign should be established in order to educate the public about the
requirement to register ADU. This public education process could include ads in
the community page of the local newspaper, information on the City website and
preparation of brochures/information packages. Information packages could be
sent to professionals who deal with property matters in Pickering such as
lawyers, real estate agents, insurance agents, financial institutions and building
contactors to request that they advise their clients to abide by the municipal
by-laws.
The City could also send out letters to all existing dwelling units that are
suspected of having an ADU that advises of the need to register their ADU if in
fact there is one in their dwelling unit.

Enforcement of ADU
By way of various public notices, property owners will be advised of the
establishment of a required registration system for ADU. They will be advised
that houses with ADU must be registered by a specific time. After that specific
time By-law Enforcement and Fire Prevention staff will begin to actively enforce
the registration by-law. Any property owner who is found to have an ADU and
not registered will be sent a notice to register. Failure to register the ADU may
result in legal action.
The by-law shall make it an offence to operate or permit the occupancy of an
ADU unless the house is registered. The Province Offences Act provides for a
fine of up to $5000 for contravention of such by-laws.
If an ADU is found that does not qualify for registration because it is located in a
building that is not a detached or semi-detached dwelling the property owner will
be required to remove the ADU or make application to amend the zoning by-law
for a site specific zoning by-law amendment, It is noted that only one ADU will
be permitted per dwelling and any additional dwelling units will be required to be
removed. If property owners fail to comply with the zoning by-law or the
registration by-law regarding ADU legal action may result.
Draft Registration By-law
A copy of the proposed registration by-law, in draft, is attached as Appendix III to
this Discussion Paper.
Appropriateness of Planning Act Applications
The applications to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-laws to permit ADU in
detached dwellings and semi-detached dwellings will facilitate the recognization
of a housing form that will enhance the City's housing stock.
ADU provide additional housing, including some affordable housing and lead to a
more efficient use of land, infrastructure and housing stock. ADU can also
promote neighbourhood diversity. The principle of permitting ADU as
recommended is considered both sustainable growth and creating a "health
community" as it encompasses objectives for social, environmental and
economic well-being.

Appropriateness of a Registration By-law
The adoption of a registry system for ADU has a variety of benefits including:
Placing the onus on the property owners of ADU to register their buildings
with the City, which will ensure that fire safety standards of the Ontario Fire
Code are complied with and ADU are made safe;
· Preparing a data base which clearly indicates where all lawful ADU exist
within the City;
Providing
has been
marketed
homeowners with a clear understanding that the ADU occupancy
approved by the City and, accordingly, permitting the building to be
in the future as a lawful house with an ADU.
Conclusion
ADU currently exist throughout the City in most neighbourhoods even though the
existing zoning does not permit them. ADU provide an important component of
the municipal housing inventory. ADU should be recognized and be permitted by
the zoning by-law in detached and semi-detached dwellings. In allowing ADU as
a permitted use they should be regulated to ensure they meet a minimum safety
requirement. To ensure compliance all ADU owners should be required to
register the ADU by the adoption of a registration by-law.
A public consultation process, in the form of a formal public meeting, should be
held to consider the recommended amendments to the Official Plan and zoning
by-laws. The proposed registration by-law should also be presented at the public
meeting to allow for public input.

Re: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA02-003/P & Zoning Amendment Application - A19/02
Dear Mr. Pym,
We are writing to indicate that we are opposed to the proposal to amend the City Of Pickering Official Plan
and zoning by-law to permit accessory dwelling units in certain types of existing dwelling units throughout
all lands within the City of Pickering.
Some of our concerns with them have been expressed in the attached letter to Mr. Taylor.
Our main reason to keep them illegal is so that something can be done about the ones that create problems.
We would like the opportunity to express our opposing viewpoint with respect to Information Report No.
31-02, but given such sort notice, and this extremely busy time of year, we will follow up with our other
questions, concerns, and alternate solutions at a later date.
We feel that the notice of such an amendment has not been properly delivered to the homeowners that this
amendment will affect. We understand that the notice of the public meeting on November 21, 2002
appeared only in the News Advertiser in the Community Section twice, on October 23 and November 6.
We were aware of the meeting only because we were told of it when we were attending another zoning
application meeting on the same date. There were only 2 other residents that spoke during the meeting. We
think they were residents that received notification because they belonged to a Rate Payers Association.
Rate Payer Associations were the only homeowners that received a personal invitation. The other
invitations were wasted on businesses and agencies that the application does not affect. Our understanding
is that Rate Payers Associations were created to deal with a specific community issue in the past and that
they are usually made up of only a handful of people, so they would not truly represent their community on
this amendment issue. As there are only about 18 Rate Payers Associations, and they do not exist for all
areas of Pickering, and the ones that exist do not cover all of Pickering, this means that about 90 residents
of a population of 90,000 people were represented. That's only 0.1% representation! How can you make a
fair decision with so little input?
We do not buy the argument that it was too costly to personally notify homeowners. If the City can afford
to spend money on election signs why can't they put up some sort ofrezoning signs at the entrances to the
neighbourhoods this would affect?
The Pickering Council provided direction to staff on June 6, 2002 to host a Public Information Meeting.
They had ample opportunity to inform residents of the City's intentions at practically no cost via mail. A
notice could have been included with property tax notification, or better yet, with the homeowner
assessments as they are received by all homeowners. Including it with the assessments would have enabled
notice to have easily been sent to only homes that are classed as the possible subject dwellings.
Pickering Council considered a Planning & Development report (PD Report No. 25-02) respecting
accessory dwelling units in housing on June 6, 2002. We have not even seen this report. Why did it take 5
Attachment#
months to "notify" the public and then give them only 1 week after the November 21 st meeting to respond
to a meeting whose minutes are not even available on the deadline date?
There are many reasons why we feel the results of the amendment "circulation" produced no comments:
Two notices buried in a community newspaper are not adequate especially since everyone does not
receive it. People expect to find zoning amendments that affect their area posted on a large sign in the
subject area. They expect written notification mailed to their home when the affected area is within a
couple of hundred metres. They are not looking through the newspaper or the city's web site for this
information.
2. Not everyone gets or reads the newspaper, nor does everyone have access to the Internet.
While investigating this issue, I searched the City of Pickering's web site for a copy of the Information
Report No. 31-02. I didn't find it but I was surprised to find a copy of the Notice of the Public Meeting
dated October 30, 2002, which was signed by Brace Taylor. It has the specific contact names,
telephone numbers, addresses, and the deadline date for submissions, all of which were missing from
the Information Report. I would never have thought to look at it ifI didn't already know it affected me.
The fact that the notice exists gives a person the impression that it would have been mailed to those it
affected, and since they didn't receive one, it must not affect them. That is extremely deceiving.
Like us, most people are not familiar with the amendment process and even if they saw the Newspaper
article, they may not have understood it. When I spoke to City Planning staff, I was told that the City
was going to legalize apartments in February or March because Pickering was one of the only
municipalities that didn't allow them. Why would they give me the impression that it was a done deal
when in fact the Information Report shows that the majority of municipalities still consider them to be
illegal? We had no idea that we had any say in the matter.
Not everyone even realizes that basement apartment are illegal. We have received conflicting
information from City Planning staff regarding this issue. Unenforced by-laws compound this belief.
All these are other possible reasons why no one responded to the "circulation".
No one I talked to knew about the Public Meeting and are just as shocked as I am by my summation of
Information Report 31-02. They have not been able to read the report because I couldn't find any extra
copies of it when I attended the meeting. Considering the notice was supposedly expected to be seen
by all residents of Pickering and there were only a few people at the meeting, why weren't there plenty
of extra copies? Why does a person have to already know about the report and then put in so much
effort to get it in order to read it? Even though not everyone has access to the Internet, the City could
have at least posted it on their web site if they actually wanted people's input.
7. People are too busy to attend meetings. They are also reluctant to do so if they are given the impression
that their appearance will have little or no effect.
Every single homeowner I spoke to said that they would have flipped if they thought that their
neighbourhood homes could be converted into multiple dwelling units. Ifrezoning signs were erected they
certainly would have responded to voice their negative opinion to the proposed amendment. This is because
they bought into a single unit dwelling area and expect it to stay that way, not to have it converted to
multiple dwellings as a means to resolve the affordable housing issue. They, like myself, would like to slow
down urban sprawl and see an adequate supply of affordable housing but the attitude is "not in my
neighbourhood". It is one thing to change the zoning plans of open space, but when housing already exists
that is zoned one way and then rezoned pretty much from one extreme to another, that is shocking and
totally unfair.
If it is an issue of affordable housing then all residents should be given he opportunity to voice their
opinion. A person living in an illegal apartment wouldn't have been delivered the newspaper, so how were
they supposed to find out about the meeting? Maybe renters would prefer to live in regulated,
Attachment
soundproofed, dwellings in apartment buildings with proper parking and outdoor facilities if that option
was available.
03'7
Thorough research should be done before the zoning is amendment is considered in order to avoid
mistakes. A review of unbiased pros and cons of the policies adopted by other municipalities needs to be
addressed.
We request that any further follow through with this amendment should be stopped until more feedback is
received from residents. An alternate response deadline date must be posted for more feedback to occur.
Please send us an electronic copy of the reports: Information Report No. 31-02, IDT Report No. 1/97, and
PD Report No. 25-02.
Sincerely,
Pat (& Dan) Bates

Re: Understanding roles of Pickering, Region and Province with respect to Housing in Pickering
Dear Mr. Pym,
We are writing to request information to help gain an understanding of what the roles of Pickering, Durham
Region and the Province of Ontario are with respect to housing. We are trying to properly interpret various
City of Pickering Reports and related proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law changes so that we can
fully understand the purposes and reasons why the City is proposing those changes.
Could you please provide an explanation/outline of what the mandated role and authority is for each of the
3 levels of government with respect to affordable housing, rental housing, and secondary dwelling units in
main residential dwellings in the City of Pickering.
Sincerely,
Pat (& Dan) Bates

Re: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA02-003/P & Zoning Amendment Application - A19/02
Dear Mr. Pym,
I am writing to request a correction to the minutes from the Statutory Public Information Meeting of
Thursday, November 21, 2002. With respect to item IV) CITY-INITIA TED APPLICATIONS TO AMEND
THE PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN (FILE: OPA 02-003/P) AND ZONING BY-LAWS (F1LE.'A,!?/,O, 2) TO
PERMIT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IN EXISTING DWELLING UNITS, the bullet point 2. for~y
comments does not reflect what I felt I said at the meeting.
I believe part of the confusion stems from the fact I was not properly prepared to speak to this topic since I
only become aware of this item at the time of the meeting since I was attending another zoning application
that was a previous item on the agenda.
I would like the minutes corrected to clearly state that I am opposed to the above noted applications.
I did state I believe in the concept of creating and maintaining a registry. My support of the concept is on
the basis that some type of formal "database" would provide more accurate information to support and
enable continuous (versus on a complaint-basis only) enforcement of th,e, City's existing By-Laws against
those accessory dwelling units that are illegal; and also to ensure those handful" of permitted accessory
dwelling units are frequently checked by various safety agencies (e.g. Fire Department) to ensure they
continue to comply with regulations. I also suggested that the density information put in various City
reports most likely does not take in account the tree reality of existing illegal units - this suggests that City
Council is making decisions based on inaccurate information. Again, I want to ensure that it is clear that
I do not agree with the proposed amendments put forth in the City Initiated Applications; I just like
the idea that the City has accurate information before it makes decisions.
I also stated I could understand why some residents would like have to enough finished space in their
residence to care of elderly or sick relatives. I was expressing empathy towards people who may have
genuine humanitarian interests versus those just looking for extra income from rent. However; I did not
intend that comment to be interpreted as my agreeing with the City Initiated Applications - I don't
agree.
I did state that the earlier process I was part of in the evening (i.e. the existing process) for propoied
zoning amendments for additional dwelling units seems to work since you are getting feedback from those
directly involved rather than making decisions citizens don't necessarily agree with. I don't recall saying
"neighborhood groups" in the context of "associations". My intent was that anyone affected in the area
should be allowed to have their say and a right to prevent a zoning amendment - as is now the case. My
point was against the proposed application since it eliminates the process whereby homeowners have to
get approval via an individual zoning amendment application.
I also made the comment that perhaps part of the reason there isn't enough affordable housing in Pickering
is because residential homeowners have an unfair advantage over a business since the residential
Attachment#
homeowner doesn't have to pay the same permit fees, taxes, local improvements, business tax, etc. etc. that
a business does. I was trying to make a point against allowing additional dwelling units since the City's
proposal would only add even more roadblocks to any business considering constructing affordable
housing in Pickering. If the City is trying to encourage more affordable housing then perhaps it should do
something to encourage rather than discourage businesses from providing affordable housing!
I trust I've clarified my comments and that it is 100% clear I am opposed to the proposed applications to
amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-Laws. Please make the necessary adjustments to the minutes.
Also, I would like to repeat the previous request from my wife I to please send us an electronic copy of the
reports: Information Report No. 31-02, IDT Report No. 1/97, and PD Report No. 25-02.
Sincerely,

Zoning Amendment Application A 19/02
Applicant~ City of Pickering
Location: All Lands within the City of Pickering
Municipality: City of PiCkering
we. have reviewed this application and the following comments are
offered with respect to compliance with the Durham Regional Official

The purpose of the applications is to consider amendments to both the
City of Pickering Official Plan and the City's zoning by-laws to permit.

These. applications cover all lands within the City. of Pickering.
Durham Reqional Official Plan
The Durham Regional.Official Plan encourages a wide variety of housing
by type~ size, and tenure: Policy 4.3.3 indicates that Regional council
shall sup.pod opportunities to increase.the supply of housing'through
intensification, taking into account the adequacy of municipal services
and the physical potential of the housing stock. Housing intensification
shall include, but not be limited to., the conversion of single detached
dwellings into mUltiple residential units. The proposed amendment is in
conformity with the policies Of the Durham Regional Official Plan.
Servicinq
The majority of dwelling units located within the urban area of the City' of
. Pickering are connected to municipal water and sanitary sewer services.
Therefore, in general there are no concerns with the proposal from an
urban servicing perspective.
Similarly, .there are no concerns with the proposal for dwellings located' in
the rural area of the City of Pickering. At the time Of a submission for a
100% Post Consumer
Page 2
building permit to construct a second dwelling unit the property owner will
haVe to demonstrate private servicing can be achieved on-site, which
meets, current O.B.C. requirements, the Regional lot sizing policy and
other pertinent legislation/guidelines~

Attention: Mr~ R. Pym
Dear Sir:
Subject: Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications
OPA02-003/P & A 19/02
City of Picketing
Authority File No.: OPA02-003/P - CLOCA IMS File No.: POFG540
Purpose of Applications:
To permit accessory dwelling units in certain types of existing dwelling units City-wide.
Authority staff has reviewed the subject applications, and in general does not have any concerns
with the type of dwelling that would be permitted to include an accessory dwelling unit. What we
would be concerned with however is the location of the existing dwelling.
Dwellings that are currently located within an area of hazard land should generally NOT be
permitted to create accessory dwelling units therein. Unless demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
respective Conservation Authority that the hazard could be appropriately addressed, and that the
creation of another dwelling unit would not increase exposure of additional persons or property to
damages, all types of existing dwellings within hazard lands should be prohibited from creating
additional dwelling units.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on these applications. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact the undersigned.

(South Part of Lot 25, Concession 2)
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 25/03 be APPROVED, subject to
conditions outlined in Appendix I to Report PD 16-04, to amend the zoning of the
subject property from 'A' - Rural Agricultural Zone to 'S2' - Single Detached
Dwelling Zone in order to permit future residential development with minimum lot
frontages of 13.5 metres, on lands being, South Part of Lot 25, Concession 2,
City of Pickering, submitted by the owner/applicant Harry Gerlach.
That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment
Application A 25/03, as set out in Appendix II to Report PD 16-04 be
FORWARDED to City Council for enactment.
Executive Summary: The subject property is located on the north-west corner of
Dixie Road and Colonial Street and currently supports a one-storey detached dwelling
and frame shed (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). The applicant proposes to
amend the existing 'A' - Rural Agricultural Zone, which requires a minimum lot frontage
of 60 metres and a minimum lot area of 0.8 hectares, to 'S2' - Single Detached
Dwelling Zone which requires a minimum lot frontage of 13.5 metres and a minimum lot
area of 400 square metres. The lands are proposed to be redeveloped in conjunction
with the southerly abutting City owned lands, for future residential development fronting
Colonial Street (see Attachment #2 - Applicant's Submitted Plan).
Approval of this zoning by-law amendment will establish a zoning for the subject
property which is consistent with the existing zoning established for properties fronting
Colonial Street (see Attachment #3 - Zoning Map). Proposed development is
compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and conforms to the Pickering Official
Plan.

Discussion
The proposed development is compatible with surrounding development,
and the subject property is to be zoned 'S2'
It is recommended that the subject property be zoned the same 'S2' residential
zoning as the existing development located on the north and south sides of
Colonial Street (see Attachment #3). This zoning would permit future residential
development with minimum lot frontages of 13.5 metres and minimum lot areas
of 400 square metres.
The applicant has also submitted a request to purchase the City owned lands
immediately south of the subject property to enable creation of up to four lots by
land severance (see Attachment #2). The City owned lands are zoned 'S2' -
Single Detached Dwelling Zone and were pre-zoned 'S2' when the original
abutting plan of subdivision was approved. This zoning was established in
anticipation of the subject property and the City owned lands being developed
together in a coordinated fashion for residential purposes.
It is anticipated that the applicant or future owner will submit a land severance
application to the Region of Durham Land Division Committee. This land
severance application will have the potential to create a maximum of four lots
with minimum lot frontages of 13.5 metres. A site plan showing the anticipated
future severances is provided for reference (see Attachment #2).
The proposed zoning of the subject property is identical to that of the City owned
lands and to the properties located on the north and south sides of Colonial Street.
This zoning provides the opportunity for future development that is compatible
with surrounding lands, and maintains the design and character of the area.
Request by area residents for the City to purchase the subject property and
construct a park in combination with the City owned lands
Area residents have requested that the City purchase the subject property and that
it be developed in conjunction with the City owned land for park purposes. The
Municipal Property and Engineering Department has reviewed this request and
does not support a park at this location (see Attachment #15 - Municipal Property
& Engineering Division Comments). Given the close proximity of Lynn Heights
park, the residential zoning of the City's land, and the clear intention since the
registration of Plan 40M-1350 to develop this land for residential purposes, it is not
appropriate to pursue this property for park purposes.
Report PD 16-04
Subject: Harry Gerlach (A 25/03)
Date: March 26, 2004

O49
Council declared the City owned lands as surplus on March 22, 2004, and
sanctioned the sale of the lands to the northerly abutting land owner.
Future development of the subject property is conditional upon the owner receiving
approval from City Council to purchase the City owned lands, and consolidating
them with the subject property. It is appropriate to rezone the subject lands at this
time, to allow for future residential development of the lands in a consolidated
fashion.
2.3
2.4
3.0
All matters of development can be addressed through a '(H)' Holding
Symbol provision within the zoning by-law and as conditions through any
associated future land severance application
In order to protect the City's interests and address appropriate development, it is
recommended that the implementing zoning by-law include an '(H)' Holding
Symbol restricting the use of the land to its current single detached dwelling use
while the '(H)' is in place. The '(H)' Holding Symbol provision will remain in place
until the applicant or future owner receives approval from City Council to purchase
the City owned lands (Block 114, Plan 40M-1350), consolidates the parcel with the
subject property and enters into an appropriate development agreement with
the City.
These conditions, in addition to others, are generally outlined in Appendix I, and
will address requirements of the Planning and Development Department, the
Municipal Property & Engineering Department and the Region of Durham. The
conditions address matters such as, but not limited to: prohibiting future access
onto Dixie Road, Dixie Road widening, grading, architectural design, and
securities.
By-law to be forwarded to Council
The attached by-law, included as Appendix II to this report, implements Staff's
recommendation to approve the requested 'S2' residential zoning. It is further
recommended that the attached by-law be forwarded to Council for enactment
(see Appendix II).
Applicant's Comments:
The applicant is aware of the contents of this Report and has reviewed the draft
by-law.

HARRY GERLACH
2050 DIXIE ROAD
(SOUTH PART OF LOT 25, CONCESSION 2)
Perry Korouyenis, Planner 1, provided an overview of property location,
applicant's proposal and City's official plan policies pertaining to this site, as
outlined in Information Report #04/04.
Murray Mawson, 1019 Colonial Street, advised that he forwarded a letter to the
Director, Operations & Emergency Services on January 21/04 requesting that
an amount of $400,000 be included in the 2004/05 budget to purchase the
property known as 2050 Dixie Road to be used for park purposes. He advised
that there are many advantages to this which include the elimination of the
need to relocate fire hydrant, Canada Post Superbox and newspaper pads, no
need to dig up roads for hydro, water and cable connections, no curb cutting.
This is a high profile location with a 4-way stop sign, a perfect location for a
park. This provides Hydro One with an opportunity to donate to the purchase of
this land in a good will gesture to pay back the community for the spill last
summer. There would be little or no crime in the park as the residents are good
observers. This park is supported by the residents, Councillors Holland,
McLean and Ashe.
David Burton, 1025 Colonial Street, echoed Mr. Mawson's comments and
advised that he wished Mr. Gerlack all the best. He requested the City act
quickly in order that Mr. Gerlack could move ahead with his life. He distributed
and discussed the parks and facilities in surrounding area's pointing out the
lack of facilities and equipment in their neighbourhood. He suggested that Mr.
Mawson has come up with an excellent idea that the entire neighbourhood
could enjoy.

Excerpts from
Statutory Public Information Meeting 0 6,)
Thursday, February 19, 2004
7:00 P.M.
Deborah McLeod, 1007 Colonial St., advised that this is the first time she has
heard of Mr. Mawson's and Mr. Burton's suggestion but is in total support.
Colonial Street is a very congested street and this would just create more
traffic. She advised that she is not looking forward to the construction and does
not want to see the trees removed from the site. She also is concerned that the
homes would not be similar to those in the area, therefore, decreasing the
value of the properties and destroy the character of the area. She further
advised that children use Colonial Street as their route to school.
Mr. Gerlack, applicant, advised that the proposed homes would enhance the
area and that the spacing is adequate as the lots are long.
Lynda Taylor, Manager, Development Review, advised that the disposition of
the land will be dealt with separately and will be handled by Economic
Development. She suggested that residents call Mr. Ron Taylor, Economic
Development Officer to find out the timing of this item. She further advised that
land disposition will be dealt with in March and zoning in April.

2004/05 Budget Inclusion
PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE PROPERTY KNOWN AS
2050 DIXIE ROAD - CITY OF PICKERING
Dear Mr. Buntsma,
This letter is to request formally that you write into your 2004/05 operating budget plan,
an amount of $400,000.00 to purchase the property known as 2050 Dixie Road, City of
Pickering.
The present owner has an application registered with the City's Planning Department to
rezone the agricultural property. The plan is to sub-divide to construct four homes. The
sale of land allows him to move to British Columbia in retirement.
The City of Pickering has a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to purchase this high profile
property and turn it into a beautiful park that present and future generations living in our
City can appreciate and enjoy.
To date, I have spoken with Councillors Holland, McLean and Ashe. All are in favour
and recommended that I make this request.
Many thanks in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Residence: 1019 Colonial Street, Pickering 905-839-3020

PROPOSAL
THAT THE CITY OF PICKERING PURCHASE THE PROPERTY
KNOWN AS 2050 DIXIE ROAD WITH THE INTENT OF
CREATING A BEAUTIFUL PARK
ADVANTAGES
· High profile, well situated to the location. Northwest corner of Dixie
Road (regional road) and Colonial Street (City), 4 way stop signs.
· Presently zoned Agricultural should reflect in the purchase price.
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as infills disappears in Pickering.
· No need to dig up roads for hydro, water and cable connections. No
cutting of curbs for driveways.
· No potential requirement to relocate a fire hydrant, Canada Post
Superbox and newspaper pads
· Finally, the City of Picketing can exercise easement rights on Dixie
Road. Also, the City will not need to sell a strip of property on
Colonial Street. Already, the City cuts grass and ploughs snow on
Colonial Street.
· An opportunity for Hydro One to contribute to this park as it is on
the way to their transfer station. This financial gesture of goodwill
can help defray the Pine Creek oil spill and the tree planting failure
on Dixie Road boulevards. The trees were to deflect the eye from the
heavy configuration of hydro lines and poles flanking both sides of
Dixie Road. Good PR.
· Little or no crime in the park as residents are good observers as are
motorists who stop at the four-way stop signs. Colonial Street is a
direct school route with a crossing guard hired to help children to
cross Dixie Road. The rectangular property can be seen from all
sides.
· This park will encourage a greater sense of "community" as many
tax-paying neighbours have offered verbal support and are willing to
sign a document if requested.
· Councilors Holland, McLean and Ashe are favourable to this
proposal
Murray Mawson resides at 1019 Colonial Street and has lived in Pickering
since 1970. He is the owner of Whites Road Physiotherapy and Sports
Injury Clinic, 720 Sheppard Avenue since it's inception in 1988.

March 2104
3. Re-appraisal of city owned parkland strip
alongside our southern property border.
Dear Mr. Korouyenis;
I sympathise with Mrs. Weir's concerns and objection to Mr. Mawson's parkland proposal. We
too have had first hand experience of having lived adjacent to the city owned parkland for over
20 years. For many years thera were noisy drinking teenagers using abusive language
and throwing beer bottles and garbage over our fence, fully aware of disturbing the peace in the
area. Attempts to reason with them were met with insults and further abusive language. Police
surveillance was scarce and when notified, usually too late to apprehend offenders,
When we moved to Pickering in 1978 we had planned this property to become our retirement
home since natural beauty and a peaceful quiet was all around us. The parkland strip was the
result of development around us in 1984. In spite of the expected negative impact on our privacy
we opted to stay and adapt to the change. We refrained from any complaints to the city when the
negative impact began to manifest itself.
Currently, as a result of my wife's passing a year ago ! wish to join my daughter in British
Columbia. ! feel that economic development of our property in compliance with zoning
parameters around us and, with buildings of equal or better valueplanned, neighbouring real
estate values can be maintained or even increased.
ATTACHMENT

i therefore request of the Mayor and Council, as well as the economic development manager
Ron Taylor, and the planning department to consider the overall plan to be of mutual benefit to
both the city and to myself. And in order to render the sale of this preperty attractive to a quality
builder I respectfully request that the city refrain from requiring a substantial increase in the
appraisal value of the parkland strip adjacent to our property.
Thanking you for your consideration.

Harry Gerlach
Dear Mr. Korouyenis:
My husband and I own the property located directly behind Mr. Gerlach's property. It was our
intention to attend the public meeting held February 19th, however we were unable to attend due to his
mother's sudden passing.
Today I had the opportunity to review the minutes of said meeting and, afterwards, I spoke with Mr.
Ron Taylor, Economic Development Officer to discuss the raised issue of constructing a park 'on the
property. Mr. Taylor suggested that I send a letter stating our objections to this suggestion.
As the property owner, most affected by this change, we would like to go on record that we object to
the construction of a park on the property. We were aware, at the time we purchased our property, that
the time would come when additional homes could be built behind us, however never to our
knowledge was the property considered or zoned for parkland. Had it been, we definitely would not
have purchased our property, having backed onto parkland in the past. We know first hand the
negative impact a park can have backing onto a residential property. Garbage thrown over the fence,
kids climbing the fence ,causing damage to our property, as well as elevated noise levels and the
infringement on our privacy.
We do not want to appear unreasonable regarding this matter, and we wiSh Mr. Gerlach only the best,
however we feel that when the time comes to sell our home, it will be more attractive to a potential
buyer to have other homes, of the same caliber, behind our property.
We would like to thank you for taking the time to consider our opinions.
Yours very truly,
Dale & Gary Weir.

1)
A road widening on Dixie Road across the frontage of this' site will be
required. The width of the widening will be 3.45 m. A 0.30 m reserve will be

Zoning By-law Amendment Application (A25/03)
-Harry Gerlach
-North-west corner of Dixie Road and Colonial Street
The Municipal Property & Engineering Division is in receipt of the above noted zoning
application to permit four residential lots within minimum lot frontages of 13.5 metres.
This Division provides the following comments.
The owner of northerly abutting lands, known as South Part of Lot 25,
Concession 2 (Assessment Roll # 010-018-02900) must provide the proper road
widening for Dixie Road.
The City property has been landscaped with many trees that are mature and of
value. These trees would have to be relocated to other City lands using a tree
spade. The cost to relocate should come from the proceeds of the sale of City
lands or be a requirement of zoning.
The Colonial Street frontage has many above grOund utilities and street furniture
that would encumber lot frontage and driveway location. The developer should
be made aware that it is their responsibility to relocate them.
Creating 3 lots on Colonial Street would result in a lot depth of only 20 metres on
Dixie Road. Planning and Development should comment on the viability and
conformity of the lotting proposal. Will the existing lot on Dixie Road revert to a
driveway on Colonial Street. Driveway from both streets is not allowed.

- South Part of Lot 25, Concession 2
I have read the minutes from the Statutory Public Information Meeting held February
19, 2004 regarding the above noted application. Three residents on Colonial Street
suggested that the City purchase the private lands and develop a park in conjunction
with the City owned lands.
Please be advised that the Municipal Property & Engineering Division has considered
this opportunity and has determined that another neighbourhood park in the vicinity
would not be beneficial and is cost prohibitive. Currently, there are three parks (Lynn
Heights, Forestbrook and Maple Ridge) that are in the neighbourhood, and this is
sufficient.
Dixie Road is a Class "C" Arterial Road and Colonial Street is a residential collector
road and a main road into and out of the subdivision to the west. Developing a park at
the corner would create more of a traffic impact and be more of a pedestrian safety
concern than the development of four residential lots.
At this time, it is not economically feasible for the City to purchase four potential lots
and a house to be demolished as well as incur costs to develop a park, or to purchase
three vacant lots and develop a park between existing residential homes.
This has been discussed with the Director, Operations & Emergency Services who
concurs that the purchase of the land and development of a park is not recommended.

Corporate Services &
Executive Summary: The attached schedules provide the City of Pickering's cash
position, continuity of taxes receivable, outstanding investments, development charges
collected and other development contribution information for the three months ended
December 31,2003.
Financial Implications: The cash position of the Corporation for three months
ended December 31, 2003 was a net decrease in cash of $2,047,122 to $4,316,894.
Sources of Funds totalled $48,553,229 and Use of Funds totalled $50,600,351.
Background: The discussion below describes the purpose and the information
contained in each of the attached schedules.
Statement of Cash Position: Attachment 1 reflects the sources and uses of funds for
the final quarter of 2003. Subcategories have been identified to highlight those cash
transactions that are significant in nature or large dollar value transactions for the City
of Pickering.
Continuity of Taxes Receivable: Attachment 2 summarizes the tax related transactions
from October 1 to December 31,2003 and provides the outstanding taxes receivable as

Development Charqes Collected: Attachment 4 indicates the total development
charges for the City, Region and School Boards, as the City is responsible for collecting
development charges on behalf of all levels of government. The total amount collected
of $2,085,582 agrees with the balance indicated under Sources of Funds on
Attachment 1. However the remittance of development charges to the Region and
School Boards indicated under the Use of Funds is different than the total collected on
Attachment 4. This variance is a result of timing differences because payments to the
Region and School Boards are due 25 days following the month collected.
Other Development Contributions: Attachment 5 is provided to show other significant
development contributions that have been received.

Project Costs (over) Approved Funds
($5,698.00)
The Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer has reviewed the budgetary implications
and the financing of the expenditures contained in this report and concurs. The
overexpenditure of $5,698.00 will be financed from the 2004 current budget.
Background:
Bids for Quotation No. Q-18-2003 were received on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 at
12:00 pm. Twelve (12) companies were invited to participate on December 17, 2003
via facsimile of which seven (7) attended the mandatory site visit and four (4) have
responded by the closing deadline noted above. A copy of the summary showing a
comparison of pricing completed by Supply & Services is attached.
The City's Fire Services Division (Fire Prevention) recommends the installation of a fully
addressable two stage fire alarm system for the Recreation Complex. This type of
system is most appropriate for buildings with large occupant loads with persons
generally unfamiliar with the building. This system also has the ability to be
expandable. History has demonstrated that a number of changes have taken place
within the building and any future changes can be accommodated by the fire alarm
system saving any associated costs that are inherent with the existing system.
In a two stage system, an alert signal is sounded upon the activation of an alarm to
alert trained personnel to take action before the evacuation procedure is initiated. The
second stage of the alarm may be initiated by use of a general alarm circuit through the
use of a key in a manual pull station. The most common signal for the alert is a slow
temporal rate of 20 strokes per minute and a high rate or continuous signal for the
evacuation alarm signal. Alert and alarm signals may use the same audible devices.
In a single stage system, the alarm or evacuation signal is sounded immediately upon
receipt of an alarm, and generally sounds all audible signals continuously and operates
all visual signals throughout the .building.
The Iow bidder for Part A and Part B Options (B&C) is Siemens Building Technologies
Ltd. Siemens Building Technologies Ltd. have not performed previous work for the City
of Pickering but references have been checked and are determined to be satisfactory.
A credit reference check with Dun & Bradstreet has also been completed and is also
determined to be satisfactory.
Leber Rubes, Fire Protection and Building Code Consulting Engineers have confirmed
Siemens Building Technology Ltd. have met the quotation requirements and is qualified
to undertake this project. Leber Rubes identified the replacement of the existing fire

alarm system with a two stage fully addressable fire alarm system along with Part A -
Basic Work and the five year annual maintenance testing cost showing Siemen Building
Technologies to be the lowest bid and to be the best choice. While included in the total
project cost the annual maintenance testing cost will be charged to the respective
current operating budget over the next five years starting in 2004.
The Health & Safety Policy, to be used by this company, Certificate of Clearance issued
by Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and WSIB Cost and Frequency
Record dated March 3, 2004 have all been reviewed by the Coordinator, Health &
Safety, Human Resources and are deemed to be acceptable.
Upon careful examination of all quotations received and relevant documents received
(Healthy & Policy, WSIB Cost and Frequency Record, WSIB Clearance Certificate and
Certificate of Insurance), the Manager, Supply & Services, the Director, Operations &
Emergency Services and the Division Head, Culture & Recreation recommend the
acceptance of the Iow bid submitted by Siemens Building Technologies Ltd. in the
amount of $90,118.00 (G.S.T. extra) and that the total net project cost of $97,618.00 be
approved.
This report has been prepared in conjunction with the Manager, Supply & Services who
concurs with the foregoing.

Dear Mr. Hunter,
Tender Review and Recommendation for Fire Alarm Retrofit for
Picketing Recreation Complex
Our Project No, 2002-155
The tendering proc. ess for the retrofit of the fire alarm system at the Pickering P~ecreation
Complex has been completed. This document will provide a review of the process and the
results for t_he selection of' a contractor. The contractors were Com-Plex Systems Ltd., Siemens
]3uilding Technologies, SimplexGrinnell, and Vipond Inc.
Background
A quick review of the quotation documents will help the client to understand 'the PartA and Part
B breakdown prices. The Part A - ]3asic Work is for the replacement of the e×i~ting fire alarm
system with a single stage partially ad.dressable fire alarm system. The Part B - Options, Option
A shows, thc cost for the replacem~t ol'the ex/sting fire alarm system with a't~vo stage partially
addressable fire alarm system, Option ]3 shows the cost for the replacement of the existing fire
alarm system widl a t~vo stage fully addressabl¢ fire alarm system and Option C shows thc annual
maintenance testing (as per ULC/$536) costs over a five year period.
The 'Ur,Jr P:ice Breakdown - New S)~tem Devices' on page FQ-4 are the unit costs ~at ere used
i.f there is a need to add or delste a device(s) from the oHginai design. For ex~nple, ~fthe client

contractor (as a~n extra to thc job) while they are on site. Thc contractor's unit costs would bc
used to determine the extra cost to add these devices. The design .~uhmitted by Lcb=r Pubes for
the tender package is complete and it is not expected that thc addition/deletion will be needed
during this project
Contractor Price Comparisons
The tenders w~'c received and reviewed for content and compliance with the tender requirements
to confirm the validity of' the tenders. The following provides a review o£the tenders for the
in;tallation .of' the equipment and in¢Imies a recommendation on the selection o f the contractor.
The Com-Plex Systems bid for tm ONh"X N'FS-3030 system is the least expensive for Part A -
Basic Work, OptiOn A together with Parr A, and Option C - mmual maintenance prices.
~e SicmensBuitding Technologies-bid fortheir M]G, system is.th~ second ~s_t_.f_oAP~r!A,
'Ihey have the lowest price for Option B, the replacement of the existing fire alarm s)stcm with a
two stage fully addressable fire alarm 'system, together with Pm[ A.
Thc SimplexG'rinnell bid For their 4100U system is tine second lowest for Part A. Howeve,, their
annual maintenance prices (Option C) are more than two times higher than thc other bids.
Whether or not Option C is addzd to th~s contract or becomes part of a separate contract, the
annual maintenance amounts hax, e an impact over the next five years.
The overall Vipond bid for an ONYX NFS-3030 system was high relative to the other
eonWactors. Comparison of the sub-totals for Part A and Part B - Options A & B, on the attached
chart, indicates that their pricing is at. least 1.5 times higher than any of the other bid sub-totals.
Recommendation
Part A - Basic Work
Review of the Basic Work, without any of the options, shows Com-Plex Systems Ltd. to be the
lowest bid ($64,450) and they ~emai.n the lowest bid if you add Option C, the five year annual
mainrernnce testing cost ($76,367).
Part B - Option A
Review of the option for the replacement of thc existing ire alarm system with a two stage
partially addressable fire alarm system, along with Part A - Basic Wor;q shows Com-Plex
Ssatems Ll-d. to be the lowest bid ($71 450) axqd they remain thc lowest bid if you add Option C,
the five >.'ear annual maintenance testing cost
6-5 3e 119
Technologies to be the lowest bid ($78',198) and they remain the lowest bid if you add Option C,
the five year annual maintenance testing oust ($90,118).
Al} f'our contractors are quite familiar with fire atann syS'tem installations. However, both Corn-
Pl:x Systems Ltd. and Vipond are dis~buters of the Notifier product and, tmlike Siemeas
Building Tectmok>gies and SimplexGrinnell who are manufacturers of their own products, they
might not be capable of ensuring parts and support in the future.
The loss'est bid for the basic work ,,vas received from Com-Ptcx Systems Ltd. which appears to be
realistic and is generally consistent with the pre-design construction baclget forecasts. In our
estimation, they should be. ,onsidered as the cnntractor for this projeet if the client should choose
thc replacement of the exi sting fire alarm system with a single stage partially a.ddressable fire
alan~ system. On the other hand, if the client should ch°ose the replac~'ment of the ex/sting fire
alarm system with a two atage fully addressa/ble £~re alarm system ('Option B), Siemens Building
Technologies would be the best choice.
.~m itemized breakdown of the Part A amt Part B costs are provided on the attached, chart.
We trust you will find this recommendation acceptable. If'you should require an), additional
information or ffurther detail, please do not hesitate to call.

Dear Mr. Hunter,
Tender l~ecormxxendatioa £or Fire Alarm Retrofit for
Picketing Recreation Complex
Our Project No. 2002-155
Based on the tender review and recommendation letter dated February 13, 2004, Leber Rubes
recommends thal the client proceed w/th Option B, a two stage fully addressable fh-e alarm
system. The Pickering Recreation Complex should be treated as a ~,o stage system since it is
easier to investigate a fire alarn~ prior to the evacuation of the building. This initial investigation
time will also prevent building evacuations whenever there are malicious alarms (when someone
operates a manual pall station in order to evacuate the building as part of a prank, otc). A two
stage fully addressable system will. meet the current building needs from an operational
standpoint. This option will also ensure that the client has a fire alarm system with current
technology which will allow for future additions and upgrades to the 'fire alarm system. Siemens'
Building Technologies was the lowest bidder for Option B. Siemens has a reputable service
history and the ability lo maintain the system for at least the next 1.5-20 years. Wc recommend
that Siemens Building Technologies be issued thc contract for Option B, a two stage fully
addressable fire alarm system.
We trust you will find this recommendation acceptable. If you should require any additional
in£ormation or further detail, please do not hesitate to call.

Attached to this Report is a copy of correspondence from the Regional Clerk dated
March 24, 2004 advising that the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham has
passed a by-law to transfer the lower-tier power relating to residential solid waste
collection in the City of Pickering to the Region of Durham, effective January 1, 2004.
The Region is now asking the City of Pickering for their consent to this by-law as part of
the triple majority that is needed for the Region to assume this lower tier responsibility.
Although the February 2nd resolution notes Pickering Council's support of the transfer of
waste collection responsibility to the Region, a separate resolution will be needed to
consent to the by-law that was passed by the Region in order to fulfill the "triple
majority" requirement set out in the Municipal Act.
For Council's information, a "triple majority" is achieved as follows:
A by-law agreeing to transfer the responsibility for solid waste management
collection, must receive the support of a majority of votes of the Regional
Council. This part of the "triple majority" was achieved when the Region passed
the required by-law at a meeting held on March 24, 2004.
A majority of the lower tier municipal councils must pass resolutions consenting
to the by-law. That is the purpose of this Report.
The total number of electors in the consenting lower tier municipalities must form
a majority of electors in the Region.
Please note that if the responsibility of waste collection is transferred from the City of
Pickering to the Region of Durham, the Region will have assumed waste collection
responsibility from all municipalities within the Region of Durham with the exception of
the City of Oshawa and the Towns of Ajax and Whitby.
