That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/07, submitted by Canadian Property Holdings Inc. on Part of Lots 27, 28 and Lot 29, Plan M-1040, be approved, subject to the Recommended Conditions of Approval included with Report PD 20-08 as Appendix I, and; 2. Further, that the implementing zoning by-law, included with Report PD 20-08 as Appendix II, be forwarded to Council for enactment at such time as the Director, Planning & Development is satisfied that the environmental concerns outlined in the Region of Durham's letter of January 8, 2008 have been addressed. Executive Summary: The property is currently zoned for a warehouse use only. A zoning by-law amendment application has been submitted to permit a broader range of industrial uses and limited commercial uses including light manufacturing, food preparation plant, assembly plant, research laboratories, and retail sales as a minor component to an industrial or commercial operation on the property, located on the west side of Squires Beach Road, north of McKay Road within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). As the existing building is partially vacant, the addition of a broader range of uses would provide the owner with greater leasing flexibility to attract employment uses consistent with other properties located within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood. These uses are generally compatible and appropriate for the subject lands and conform to the Pickering Official Plan. The continuance of a warehouse operation with the introduction of additional uses on the property is supported by staff. Based on the operational character and layout of the site and limited parking availability, unlimited retail sales are not recommended, however, limited sales outlets as ancillary components to permitted industrial uses are supported (see Attachment #2 - Applicant's Submitted Plan). Report PO 20-08 Date: May 5, 2008 Subject: Canadian Property Holdings Inc. (A 9/07) Page 2 ;:1 . It is recommended that this application be approved, subject to restrictions on the maximum floor area permitted for retail sales outlets, and that the draft by-law be forwarded to City Council for enactment at such time as the Director, Planning & Development is satisfied that the environmental concerns outlined in the Region of Durham's letter of January 8, 2008 have been addressed. An appropriate draft amending zoning by-law is attached to this Report as Appendix I. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of introducing the proposed additional uses on the property. Sustainability Implications: The applicant's request embraces the principles of adaptive reuse and the concept of smart growth as it utilizes the existing warehouse building for new purposes while taking advantage of existing infrastructure within the City's Employment Area. The expansion of allowable uses on the property protects the viability of the City's employment lands and provides additional employment opportunities within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood. Background: 1.0 Comments Received 1.1 At the January 7, 2008 Public Information Meeting (see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #3 & #4) - no comments were received; 1.2 Written Public Submissions on the application - no comments were received; 1.3 Agency Comments Regional Municipality of Durham permitted uses in Employment Areas include manufacturing, assembly warehousing, business parks, storage of goods, limited commercial and retail uses; the Region does not support commercial recreational uses on the property due to its location in proximity to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (see Attachment # 5); -'-""""."''''''"''''''''''~~_''''''"_'''''''''''-''''''_''''''''''''''''-''~'-;_'''.''''''''"'-___''''''',.h'""""'~""'""'-"~""'_"""""'''''"'_;';.~~''''',.;"",,,,,,o,,,,,,~,'.-.,~.~~,"",,,",,~_____",,_,~, Report PO 20-08 Date: May 5, 2008 Subject: Canadian Property Holdings Inc.

Permitted uses within this designation include manufacturing, assembly and processing of goods, warehousing and limited retailing of goods as a minor component to industrial operations. The subject property is designated Employment Area - General Employment in the Pickering Official Plan. This designation permits manufacturing, assembly, research and development, warehousing, storage of goods and materials and retail sales as a minor component to an industrial operation (i.e. sales outlets). Approval of the zoning by-law amendment to permit a broader range of employment uses on the property would conform with the land use policies of the City's Official Plan. Report PD 20-08 Date: May 5, 2008 Subject: Canadian Property Holdings Inc. (A 9/07) Page 4 11. i C ,j. ,-' 2.1.2 Commercial Recreational uses no lonqer beinq pursued The applicant originally requested that commercial recreational establishments be added as a permitted use for the property. Ministry of Environment (MaE) Guideline D-2 - Compatibility Between Sewage Treatment and Sensitive Land Uses provides recommended separation distances for all development or redevelopment applications for sensitive land uses adjacent to sewage treatment facilities. The Region of Durham Planning Department advises that the subject property is located close to the recommended separation distance from the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant for sensitive land uses. Based on this location and potential impact, the Region does not support the inclusion of commercial recreational uses in the amended zoning (see Attachment #5). The applicant has been made aware of the MaE Guideline and the Region's concern and has decided not to pursue commercial recreational uses for this property. 2.1.3 The proposed uses are appropriate and compatible within the Brock Industrial Neiqhbourhood The existing building on the site has a gross floor area of 26,643 square metres, The initial warehouse building was constructed on the property in 1981 and comprised 17,818 square metres. An 8,825 square metre addition to the rear of the building was constructed in 2005 and remains vacant. Walker Logistics, a warehousing operation, currently occupies approximately the front two-thirds of the building. The existing zoning for the property is dated and restrictive as it only permits warehousing operations. It is recommended that this property benefit from updated zoning provisions to include such uses as a food preparation plant, manufacturing operations, scientific, medical or research laboratories and retail sales outlets as minor components to permitted uses, as requested by the applicant. Staff further recommend that other employment uses be added as permitted uses for the property including a merchandise service shop, a printing establishment and a rental establishment. The above-noted uses requested by the applicant and recommended by staff would implement the land use policies for Employment Areas in the Pickering Official Plan. These additional uses would also provide the owner with greater leasing flexibility to attract employment uses consistent with other properties located within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood. Report PO 20-08 Date: May 5,2008 Subject Canadian Property Holdings Inc. (A 9/07) ) i, Page 5 2.1.4 Owner to address Environmental Issues to the satisfaction of the Reqion of Durham and the City of Pickerinq A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment conducted for this property identified two environmental matters which should be addressed. The Region makes note of these matters in its letter of January 8, 2008 (see Attachment #6) and recommends that they be addressed through this application. An existing diesel fuel generator and battery charging exhaust station constitute air emission sources and require a Certificate of Approval from the MOE. Further, documentation is required that a spillage from leaking or overcharged forklift batteries onto a concrete floor has been properly cleaned. These matters are not considered to be of sufficient magnitude to prevent approval of the zoning amendment application. However, it is recommended that they be addressed prior to Council's consideration of the implementing zoning by-law. A reliance letter must be submitted to the Region of Durham respecting the Phase 1 ESA, and satisfactory measures taken to address the two environmental concerns, through direct action or potentially through the submission of a letter of undertaking. 2.1.5 Sales Outlets to be permitted on a limited basis and associated with specific uses The addition of a Sales Outlet use on this property is supported. A Sales Outlet is not a retail store as retail sales would operate only as an ancillary component of a permitted industrial use on the property. It is recommended that the area for a sales outlet component be limited to 25 percent of the gross floor area in association with the following industrial uses, up to a maximum of 150 square metres: assembly plant food preparation plant light manufacturing plant merchandise service shop rental establishment warehouse This approach is similar to other site specific zoning by-laws for industrial properties within the City's Employment Areas. 2.1.6 Site Functioninq and Desiqn Limits Amount of Non-industrial Uses Based on the current site functioning, layout and context, it is recommended that all non-industrial uses on the property occupy no greater than 50 percent of the aggregate floor area for the existing building. This restriction would also ensure that operations on the property are compatible with the existing industrial neighbourhood. Report PD 20-08 Date: May 5,2008 Subject: Canadian Property Holdings Inc. (A 9/07) Page 6 i_) -I ~ I 2.1.7 Increased Parkinq Requirements for All New Uses on the Property It is recommended that a site specific parking ratio of 3.0 spaces per 100 square metres of floor area be provided for all new uses on the property. It is further recommended that a minimum of 50 parking spaces continue to be required for a warehouse operation. 2.2 Additional uses will require Site Plan approval The introduction of new uses on the property will require Site Plan approval to address the following site constraints: the north wall of the existing building consists of 40 loading doors and some site modifications may be required to accommodate non-industrial uses on the property; should some of the loading docks be removed, there is sufficient room to accommodate additional parking that may be required for non-industrial uses; there is only one access/egress for the site; there is no separation of automobile, truck and pedestrian traffic; Through the Site Plan approval process, the applicant will also be required to demonstrate, among other matters, that safe access and appropriate lighting design is provided. 2.3 Text Amendments to Zoning By-law 2511 should be enacted It is recommended that any additional uses and associated zone requirements approved for the lands be regulated by way of text amendments to the existing "W_1" Warehouse Zone, to add the following uses: dry cleaning establishment food preparation plant light manufacturing plant manufacturing plant merchandise service shop printing establishment rental establishment sales outlet scientific, medical or research laboratory The recommended conditions of approval for the implementing zoning by-law are described in Appendix I to this report. 3.0 Applicant's Comments The applicant is aware of the recommendations of this report.

The Works Department has indicated that the Ministry of the Environment (MaE) Guideline 0-2 - Compatibilitv Between Sewaqe Treatment and Sensitive Land Uses provides recommended separation distances for all development or redevelopment applications for residential or other sensitive land uses adjacent to sewage treatment facilities. The proposed commercial recreational uses at 1050 Squires Beach Road are within the recommended separation distance requirements of MaE Guideline 0-2. The guideline also advises that a separation distance of greater than 150 metres may be required on an individual basis. The proposed commercial recreational uses at 1100 Squires Beach Road are outside of the recommended separation distance but are within the vicinity of the Duffin Creek WPCP approaching the recommended separation distance. As the proposed commercial recreational uses are within or approaching the recommended separation distance of MaE Guideline 0-2, the Region does not support the proposed commercial recreational uses at 1050 and 1100 Squires Beach Road. The proposed industrial and office uses may be permitted. 6P de -Of' Please contact me should you have any questions or require any additional information regarding this matter.

We have now had an opportunity to review the notice and wish to provide you with the following comments. We understand that the purpose of the application is to amend the zoning by-law in force for the subject lands. It is further understood that the present 'W-1' Wareho,use zoning is to be changed to add industrial and limited commercial uses for the subject lands. Based upon our review of the subject lands and the surrounding area, we advise that there are no significant environmental features of concern to the TRCA on the subject lands. In addition, the subject lands are not within a Regulated Area pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (TRCA Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses). A permit would therefore not be required prior to any development taking place on the subject lands. Given the comments above, we have no objection to the approval of the application. We trust that this is of assistance. Please contact the undersigned jf you have any questions regarding ~his letter, Yours truly, ~~ Chris Jones, B.U.R.P1.
