2.0 Discussion
2.1
Proposed use conforms to the Pickering Official Plan
The applicant is proposing to add a place of religious assembly as a permitted
use. The subject property is designated "Employment Area - General
Employment" in the Pickering Official Plan. This designation permits the
proposed use to be considered. Approval of the rezoning would conform to the
Pickering Official Plan and the Region of Durham Official Plan.
2.2
Proposed use is compatible with existing uses in the building
The application has been authorized by the Manager of Durham Condominium
Corporation 105, allowing the submission of this Zoning By-law Amendment (see
Attachment #8). No objection has been received from any unit owner. Furthermore,
the applicant is fully aware of and has no concern about the existing body rub
parlour use in Unit 3 of the same building.
2.3
The proposed place of religious assembly will have minimal impact on
parking
The applicant has advised that the administration of church business would occur
during regular business hours and a gathering of approximately 25 people would
occur on two evenings and on Sundays (see Attachment #5).

2.4
2.5
3.0
Based on the existing parking standard of By-law 2511, the church use would
require 7 parking spaces. Based on parking standards used in recent rezonings,
14 parking spaces would be required. According to the applicant, there are
4spaces allocated to their unit, and an additional 12 parking spaces are
available for church gatherings through permission from other unit owners for the
use of their allocated parking spaces (see Attachment #9).
The subject site currently provides a total of 66 parking spaces, while only
54 parking spaces are required based on by-law requirements. Due to the
surplus of 12 parking spaces, limited size of the unit, the offsetting hours of
church gatherings from regular business hours, and the ability to share parking,
the impact on parking availability on-site is anticipated to be minimal.
The gross leasable floor area will be limited in the amending by-law
Unit 14 occupies a floor area of approximately 165 square metres. It is
recommended that the amending by-law limit the gross leasable floor area for
use as a place of religious assembly to a maximum of 170 square metres. The
intent of limiting the floor area is to ensure that a place of religious assembly will
not become the primary use of the industrial condominium building or jeopardize
the availability of parking on-site for other users.
The existing by-law will govern all other zoning requirements and the
amending bylaw to be forwarded to Council
No further amendments to the current 'M2' zoning are proposed or required. The
current by-law requirements will continue to apply to the property. The attached
draft by-law, included as Appendix I to this report, implements staff's
recommendation to approve the requested use of a place of religious assembly
with a restriction on maximum gross leasable floor area. It is recommended that
the attached by-law be forwarded to Council for enactment.
Applicant's Comments
The applicant concurs with the recommendations contained in this report.

Re: E~.ANG_ELI. CAL .CHURCH OF GOD (Scarborough)
Dear Madam
I am writing on behalf of the "Scarborough branch of the Evangelical Church of God" which is trying
to relocate in the City of Pickering, at the address known as 905 Dillingham road, Unit # 14 and plan
#105 and need a permit to use this facility as a place of worship.
The number of people including children are approximately twenty-five (25); and the frequency of use
will be three (3) days per week as follows:
Sundays: lO;00am- l'l:00am
ll:lSam - l:30pm
7:30pm - 9-.30pm
Tuesdays: 7:30pm- 9:30pm
Fridays: 7:30pm ~ 9:30pm
Sunday School (Adult and Children)
Devine worship
worship service
Prayer & Bible study
Youth Activities/training.
Let me hope that this request will be granted, seeing that this property is already being purchase, and
a mortgage is granted to the church, which at this time would make it very difficult to pay a mortgage,
and then having to still rent another facility to assemble for worship.
I am asking on behalf of thin group that you and your board and or council give this matter
your earnest consideration as quickly as is possible, and we look forward to a favourable reply,
If you need any further information, you can contact me the undersign at (519) 748 0940 or call
pastor L.V. James at (905) 426 883%
Please accept our thanks, as we look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
