COMMITTEE
Report Number: PD 25-08
Date: July 7, 2008

From: Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
SUBJECT: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/08
Fairport Inc.
692, 700-702 Front Road
(Lot 9 Plan 917 and Part of Lots 8 and 9 Plan 65)
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
1. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/08 submitted by Fairport Inc.,
on lands being Lot 9 Plan 917 and Part of Lots 8 and 9 Plan 65, City of
Pickering, to amend the zoning to permit the development of the subject
property for three detached dwelling units be approved as outlined in Appendix I to
Report PD 25-08, and
2. Further, that the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law
Amendment Application A 9/08, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 25-08, be
forwarded to City Council for enactment.
Executive Summary: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property for
three detached dwelling lots, providing a minimum frontage of 10.3 metres. While the
proposed infill project of creating three residential lots is considered appropriate land
use, the frontage of the lots and the resulting structures need to be more reflective of
the character of the area, therefore the recommendation is for lots having a minimum
frontage of 15.0 metres. Approval of this application will establish a zoning for the
subject property which will permit development that is compatible with the surrounding
neighbourhood and conforms to the Pickering Official Plan. The proposed by-law
contains performance standards for dwelling height, side yard widths and front yard
depth to further assist with compatibility of the development. A future land severance
application is anticipated for the proposed development. The City's development
requirements will be addressed through the land severance application.
Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
approval of zoning for three detached dwellings.

Sustainability Implications: This development proposal is an infill project that
provides for residential intensification, makes efficient use of vacant lands, and takes
advantage of existing infrastructure within the City's urban area. The proposed zoning
will provide the opportunity to increase the residential density of the existing lot and will
utilize existing services. The proposal generally represents a sustainable approach for
the development of the subject lands.
Background:
1.0 Introduction
The owner of the subject property, Fairport Inc. proposes to develop the subject
land at 692, 700-702 Front Road for three detached dwelling lots (see Location
Map, Attachment #1). The three lots are proposed to be created through a future
land severance process. The proposed lots include two smaller lots on the south
end of the property and one larger lot on the northern end of the property. Only
the larger northern lot is proposed to have water frontage on Frenchman's Bay
(see Attachment #2). The two proposed southern dwellings have a proposed
height of two storeys.
2.0 Comments Received
2.1 At the April 7, 2008 Public Information Meeting
No public spoke in support or opposition to the application at the public meeting.
(see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #4 & #5)
2.2 Written Public Submissions on the Application
Two written submissions were received from area residents. One resident
expressed opposition related to environmental impacts on aquatic life and avian
populations. It was stated that the proposed development will spoil the
Frenchman's Bay waterfront.
The other correspondence from the abutting property owners to the south noted
their support for the proposed redevelopment of the site however, made the
request that a minimum side yard width requirement of 1.5 metres be established
(see Attachments #6 & #7).
2.3 Agency Comments
Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority
- no objection to the land use, TRCA has reviewed
and issued a permit for shoreline restoration works
that addressed both slope stability and flooding
hazard; further information will be required during
any future development (see Attachment #8);

Region of Durham
- the proposal is permitted by the policies of the
Durham Region Official Plan;
- municipal water supply and sanitary sewer services
are available to the subject property;
- the application has been screened in accordance
with Provincial Interests and Delegated Review;
- the subject property is within an area of limited
transit service due to existing street widths and
configuration (see Attachment #9 and #10);
No other agency that provided comment has objection to the application. Certain
technical issues and requirements related to the proposed use of the site will be
addressed during the implementation process, should this application be approved.
3.0 Discussion
3.1 Proposed Lots Should Provide a Minimum Lot Frontage of 15.0 Metres to
Ensure Compatibility with Neighbourhood Character
The subject property is located along the west side of Front Road, north of
Commerce Street. The surrounding area is generally zoned "R4" - Residential
Zone, which requires lots to have a minimum 15.0 metre lot frontage and a
minimum lot area of 460 square metres. The surrounding lotting pattern is
generally reflective of this lot size and helps to establish the overall character of
the neighbourhood. The other major contributor to the neighbourhood character
is the housing stock in terms of size, style and massing. Generally, larger lots
having a frontage of 15.0 metres support dwellings with a size and mass that is
different from smaller size lots. Larger lots generally have a greater building
separation and achieve an increased sense of "openness" between buildings.
Two of the three new lots proposed by the applicant provide a lot frontage of
10.3 metres (perpendicular lot width of 9.6 metres) and do not match the general
neighbourhood character. Further, the proposed dwellings on these two lots are
6.6 metres wide, which is more reflective of a townhouse dwelling unit width.
The proposed third lot provides a width of 31.0 metres and a house width of 13.7
metres which is not comparable to other development the neighbourhood and
certainly not comparable to the two proposed 6.6 metre wide dwellings.
The proposed lots have an irregular lot shape. Therefore, the lot frontage (which is
measured as a line parallel to the front lot line and 7.5 metres back from the front lot
line) is slightly greater than the perpendicular lot width. As noted above, the
applicant's two proposed lots provide a lot frontage of 10.3 metres and lot width of
9.6 metres. Staff recommendation of a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres will in
fact produce lots having a width of 13.9 metres (see Attachment #3).

3.2 Zoning Standards are Proposed that Ensure House Design is Compatible
and Provides Appropriate Openness
Page 4
The recommended zoning performance standards are ones that will maintain the
character of the neighbourhood and try to ensure some degree of openness of
the lots. As noted the minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres is recommended
along with a minimum lot area of 460 square metre. The minimum side yard
width being proposed is 1.5 metres. This would provide a minimum of 3.0 metres
between buildings thus creating some openness and possible view corridors from
the street to Frenchman's Bay. Given the properties are next to Frenchman's
Bay, a proposed maximum building height of 9.0 metres is being recommended.
This height would allow a two storey house but would not allow an overly tall
house to be constructed. A minimum front yard depth of 4.5 metres is proposed
in order to allow the opportunity to bring the massing of the house forward on the
lot to maximize the rear yard depth. The garage will be required to be set back a
minimum of 6.0 metres from the front lot line, to accommodate vehicle parking in
front of the garage.
3.3 Portion of Property is a Water lot and will be Zoned to Recognize
Environmental Constraints
The subject property is not restricted to the land area only. A portion of the
subject property covers open water pf Frenchman's Bay. The portion of the lot
that is not land is proposed to be zoned Open Space - Hazard Land to reflect the
environmental constraints of activities on open water.
4.0 Technical Matters
All Development Matters Concerning the City will be Addressed Through
the Land Severance Process
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing dwelling and sever the property
into three lots for the construction of three new detached dwellings. In order to
ensure appropriate development of the proposed lots, all requirements of the City
will be included as conditions of approval for any associated land severance
application. These conditions will address matters such as, but not limited to,
grading & drainage, parkland dedication, and securities. The applicant intends to
submit a severance application to the Region of Durham Land Division
Committee should Council approve this application.
5.0 Applicant's Comments
The applicant has been advised of the recommendations of this report.

Re: Zoning By-Law Amendment Application A 009/08
Dear Sirs:
You have asked for comments from affected parties regarding this application. As the
owners of the adjacent property municipally known as 690 Front Road, Pickering, ON we
would like to state that we are in favor of development of this property. The application
shows side yard set backs of 1.52 meters or more. As the applicant has the ability to
make these lots any size they choose we would like to see that this side yard set back is
maintained at 1.52 meters. That would mean there would be no opportunity for a
committee of adjustment hearing, or other process to decrease this set back by this or any
other applicant. To request a reduced set back in the future would mean that this
application was fraudulent and deceitful of the true goal. We realize that the current
house located on 692 Front Road is located considerably closer to the property line. We
would like to see this situation rectified and any future development be in accordance
with the proposed 1.52 meter side yard set back.

Dear Mr. Pym:
RE: Zoning By-Law Amendment Application A 009/08
692 and 700 - 702 Front Road
Fairport Inc. /Lee Gray
City of Pickering
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff has reviewed plans for a zoning
amendment on the above referenced property and offers the following comments.
Background
The subject property is located at 692 and 700 - 702 Front Road, on Frenchman's Bay, in the city of
Pickering. It is our understanding that the applicant is requesting permission to amend the zoning by-
law in order to permit future development of three lots with lot frontages ranging from 10.0 metres to
31.0 metres.
Applicable Policy
The subject property is affected by the Lake Ontario shoreline. TRCA aims to prevent new
development from areas that may introduce a risk to life and property associated with flooding,
erosion and slope stability concerns.
TRCA staff has previously reviewed and issued permit number C-07080 on March 2, 2007 for
shoreline restoration works on the property. These works addressed both slope stability and flooding
hazard on the site. As such the zoning for the proposed three lots does not need to address any risk
from natural hazard.
Ontario Regulation 166/06
As the property is entirely located within TRCA's Regulated Area pursuant to Ontario Regulation
(Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shoreline and Watercourse
Regulation), an Ontario Regulation 166/06 permit is required for any development proposed on site.
In accordance with Ontario Regulation 166/06 (Development, Interference with Wetlands and
Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), a permit is required from the TRCA prior to any
development, if in the opinion of the authority, the control of flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches or
pollution or the conservation of land may be affected by the development.
Development is defined as:

We trust that this is of assistance. Please contact me should you have any further questions.

"Re: Zoning Amendment Application A09/08
Applicant: Fairport Inc./Lee Gray
Location: 692,700-702 Front Road
Municipality: City of Pickering
We have reviewed this application to amend the zoning on the above noted
properties. The following comments are offered for your consideration.
The purpose of the application is to permit the future development of three
single detached dwellings.
Regional Official Plan
The subject site is within the "Greenlands System" and is designated
"Waterfront Area" in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Waterfront Areas are
to be protected for their special natural and scenic features, their roles as
predominant landscape elements in the Region and the recreational
opportunities that they facilitate.
The subject site within the Frenchman's Bay area, which is designated
'Vvaterfront Place" in the Pian. \/Vaterfront Piaces are to be developed as
focal points along the Lake Ontario waterfront. The predominant uses may
include marina, recreational, tourist, and cultural and community uses. The
scale of development shall be based on and reflect the characteristics of
each Waterfront Place. Residential opportunities may be permitted, which
support and complement the predominant uses.
As the subject site is adjacent the waterfront, an Environmental Impact Study
(EIS) is required for the Region's review prior to the approval of the
application, to address the following:
a) the location and nature of the development;
b) the mapping of the location and extent of the environmental
conditions which may include key natural heritage or hydrologic
features;

or hydrological features and functions and the surrounding
environment, and definitions of such measures;
f) impact on the shoreline, creeks, wetlands and near-shore wildlife
habitat and aquatic characteristics;
g) opportunities for the appropriate portions of the subject lands to be
included in a natural corridor system along the waterfront and creek
valleys;
h) impact on lake water quality; and
i) the acceptability of soil quality if the development proposal involves
lakefilling.
Provincial Policies & DeleQated Review Responsibilities
This application has been screened in accordance with the terms of the
provincial plan review responsibilities. There are no matters of provincial
interest applicable to this application.
Regional Services
Water and Sanitary Sewers
Municipal water supply and sanitary sewer services are available to the

Through correspondence between City staff, and Toronto Region
Conservation Authority (TRCA), the following revised comments are offered.
Comments from the Region dated April 15, 2008 indicated the need for an
Environmental Impact Study (EIS). As per Regional Policy, the area
municipality has the lead role for an EIS related to rezoning applications. As
the City indicated there is no need for an EIS be conducted, the Region's
original comments is now revised to delete the requirement for the submittal
of an EIS for the Region's review.
