I TO INFORMATION REPORT NO. 17-05 DRAFT AMENDMENT 14 TO THE PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN >a DRAFT AMENDMENT 14 TO THE PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN DRAFT PURPOSE: The primary purpose of Amendment 14 is to implement a Structure Plan for the Central Pickering Urban Area - Seaton Community. The Amendment replaces the existing Seaton Urban Study Area designation and policies with detailed land use and transportation designations and policies. The amendment also corrects the boundary of the Federal Airport Lands to exclude the Provincially-owned lands north of Highway 7, adjacent to the Hamlet of Green River, and establishes urban land uses on these lands. The proposed land use and transportation changes in Amendment 14 will resolve Deferrals 8, 14, 24 and 42, part of Deferral 38, and the remaining parts of Deferrals 11, 31, and 39 to the Pickering Official Plan. These Deferrals generally relate to the various road and transit spine designations within the Seaton Community. The secondary purpose of the Amendment is a housekeeping matter to delete obsolete policies for Regional Node 1, a designation that was eliminated by the Region of Durham's approval of Revision 1 to Modification 1 to the Pickering Official Plan in August 2003. This part of the Amendment will resolve Deferral 3 to the Pickering Official Plan. DRAFT LOCATION: The Amendment applies to an area that is over 3,000 hectares in size, and is generally bounded by the C.P. Rail line to the south, the West Duffins Creek to the west, Highway 7 including the Provincially-owned lands north of the Hamlet of Green River to the north, and Sideline 16/Pickering-Ajax boundary to the east. DRAFT BASIS: This Amendment has been determined to be appropriate following: - City Council's endorsement in June 2004 of a Structure Plan for Central Pickering arising from completion of Phases 1& 2 of the City of Pickering's Growth Management Study (GMS), prepared by Dillon Consuiting Limited, et al.; Released for Statutory Public Meeting of July 26, 2005 Draft Amendment 14 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 2 - City Council's adoption in December 2004 of Amendment 13 to the Pickering Official Plan, which implemented the GMS; and, - further review in the spring 2005 of the land use and transportation designations and policies to guide the future development of the Central Pickering - Seaton Community in consultation with the Province of Ontario, the Region of Durham, prospective developers / landowners within the Seaton Community, and other relevant agencies. Lands in the Seaton Community, south of Highway 7, have been designated for urban development in the Official Plans of both Durham Region and Pickering since the 1980s. The Amendment establishes a development framework based on a compact urban form, transit-supportive mixed land uses, quality urban design, a grid system of arterial roads, early provision of a mix of jobs, and small neighbourhoods located within a robust natural heritage system. The natural heritage system is based on recent work completed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Overall, the plan provides for the development of approximately 43,000 residents and 28,000 jobs, achieving a gross 57 density of jobs and residents. The Amendment responds to the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Pickering Official Plan respecting the planning objectives for this urban area, including establishing buffers adjacent to the rural hamlets. The Amendment details future studies and work required prior to development commencing within the Seaton Community including a Financial Impact Studies, a Master Environmental Servicing Plan, a Highway 407 Employment Lands Study, Neighbourhood Plans and Development Guidelines. The Province is currently working on a Development Plan for the Seaton Community and other lands under the Ontario Planning and Development Act.

It should be noted that Pickering Council adopted a staff recommended plan for Seaton in December 2004. This plan irnplemented the City's Growth Management Study through the approval of Amendment 13 to the Pickering Official Plan. A map showing the adopted land use and transportation plan from Amendment 13 is attached. You will note that Amendment 13 covers two areas: Seaton and Cherrywood. The City is not giving any consideration to changing its plans for the Cherrywood area of Amendment 13. Draft Amendment 14*, which was mailed to you on July 7, 2005, deals only with changes to the Seaton area. During the spring of this year, City staff participated in a number of discussions on Amendment 13 regarding the Seaton area only. The discussions brought to light some new information for the City's consideration and identified possible changes intended to enhance the plan for Seaton. Draft Amendment 14 evolved from these discussions. These discussions were also instrumental in influencing the Provincial Development Plan, which was being prepared at the same time. Before Council can consider any changes to the Seaton plan included in draft Amendment 14, a Statutory Public Meeting must be held to allow the public the opportunity to comment on the potential changes. This meeting has been set for Tuesday, July 26, 2005, commencing at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers of City Hall. ~ ~ A~,k'i~~HHTO~TO t~~FORMAT1ON a E~~ ~ ~ Yickering Civic Complcx One'f'he P.splanade Pickcrirtg, C)ntario c,i,ad,, Liti 6«7 I)ucri A<c('ss 905.420.4600 7bll I rec 1.866.683.2760 cityotpickering.conn * In the event you have misplaced the copy that was mailed to you, a copy of draft Amendment 14 is available from the Pickering Planning & Development Department, or from the City's website at www.cityofpickerinq.com ✓ AT`17AC{MENU • ~ 7 ~ _ INFORMATION Pickering Official Plan Amendment OPA 05-002/P July 20, 2005 Draft Amendment 14: Modified Seaton Plan Page 2 The key options being considered in the draft Amendment 14 that differ from Council's current position on Seaton (Amendment 13) are outlined below: • The natural heritage system has been reconfigured and is now represented by a single designation (rather than two different land use designations); • A future road crossing is proposed over the West Duffins Creek to connect Whites Road with Sideline 26; • Urban residential uses have been proposed closer to the Hamlet of Whitevale; • The overall road pattern has been revised somewhat; and • The land use plan has been reconfigured slightly. Prior to making any recommendations to Council, staff is seeking your input on these options. in support of the City's Growth Management Study, Council approved Amendment 13 in December 2004. Shortly afterwards, City staff began working in conjunction with the Province to find commonalities and areas of accommodation between our respective plans for Seaton. Amendment 14 is the product of this collaboration. However, there remain significant areas of differences between the City's vision of Seaton and the Province's recently released "Centrai Pickering Development Plan", such as the proposed road crossing over West Duffins Creek. Next Steps The Statutory Public Meeting to consider draft Amendment 14 for the Seaton area is being held on July 26, 2005 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers of City Hall. On September 6, 2005, staff will be reporting to Council respecting the comments received on draft Amendment 14. At that time, staff will also be reporting to Council on the Province's Development Plan.

':',",."0 MEi V2{ 4e`~-1 0 1 ~ .~"^'.~F°t,'~~ ~ (Copied from email received on July 12, 2005) Dear Madam Clerk: I am a citizen of the City of Pickering and I was shocked to receive my copy of OPA 14. I have attended and participated in virtually every council and public meeting for a number of years but am very disappointed in this document. The City of Pickering conducted a very expensive Growth Management Study, which included many opportunities for public input and comment. The study was based on a reasonable interpretation of the relevant science and the development needs of the City for the future. The final result was a balanced compromise that was acceptable to most people. Council endorsed that position and passed a resolution to confirm its position. In addition, Council unanimously passed a resolution that requested the Minister of Environment to conduct a Full Environmental Assessment of the Seaton Land Swap. Up until OPA 14 the process represented a logical progression in planning. This was despite the action of the Province of imposing the draconian OPDA to to force its will to fulfill its promises to Richmond Hili. OPA 14 appears to be nothing more than a complete capitulation to the Province with total disregard for the protection and preservation of the environmentally sensitive and heritage lands in Seaton. The Seaton Lands have the last three cold water streams in the GTA, large contiguous woodlots and huge uncontaminated aquifers which will require very special protection. But OPA 14 appears to increase the population density while reducing the environmental buffers and setbacks. Where is the protection of the heritage sites, the environment...and the future for our children? I would like to know the date and time of, and to receive copies of all minutes or staff notes taken during the meetings and teleconferences; and all communication or direction from the Province or its consultants in relation to OPA 14. I would like to receive copies of the new information in terms of hydrogeological/infrastructure studies that support OPA 14 and the City's reversal in position. One can only assume that the Province is surreptitiously steering this process on a qlatform of political promises rather than sound science and engineering principals. I await your response to prove me wrong. Rob Lyon Tlle Corporatron of the Township Of 01~ ~4 ~ \T ~'A4~'` Vxbfit,.L.`~ . In Tiie Rc~¢iona( Piunicipnlif.y oC Dur6am~ July 13, 2005 g S4~ p '~.M atr .
