Part of Lots 20 & 21, Concession 1 (1450 & 1525 Pickering Parkway) City of Pickering Recommendation: 1. That Report PD 24-09 of the Director, Planning & Development be received, 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 10/09, submitted by Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc. for lands being Part of Lot 20, Concession 1 & Part of Lot 21, Concession 1, be approved to broaden the range of commercial uses for the subject properties including offices and personal service uses, and add nursing home, retirement home and multiple dwelling-vertical (apartment) as permitted uses and increase the permitted height from six to eight storeys on the lands; 3. That no further notice is required to change the by-law to increase the permitted height from six to eight storeys, proposed subsequent to the holding of the public meeting, as it is within the provisions of the Planning Act; and 4.. Further, that the zoning by-laws to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 10/09, as set out in Appendices I and II to Report PD 24-09, be forwarded to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The application involves two sites; the first located at the northeast corner of Glenanna Road and Pickering Parkway (1450 Pickering Parkway); and the second located southeast of the intersection of Pickering Parkway and Valley Farm Road (1525 Pickering Parkway) (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). The applicant requests an amendment to the zoning by=laws to permit additional uses, including residential (townhouse and apartment) and institutional (day nursery, nursing home, and retirement home) uses, to modify the mix of currently permitted commercial uses (business office, convenience store, professional service shop and professional office) and to permit a height increase to a maximum of eight storeys on the lands. Report PD 24-09 September 8, 2009 Subject: Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc. Page 2 _ 11 A conceptual site plan does not accompany this application as a specific development proposal has not yet been envisaged. The applicant wishes to obtain greater density and flexibility in permitted uses for the properties in order to better market the lands for proposals that achieve the Provincial, the City's and the owner's objectives. It is recommended that this application be approved and that the majority of requested additional uses be permitted. With the exception of townhouses, the proposed uses are compatible and appropriate for the subject lands in this neighbourhood and offer the opportunity for a greater mix and intensity of use as envisaged by the Official Plan. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. Sustainability Implications: The applicant's proposal represents an expansion of allowable uses and density on the properties that may allow the lands to be developed sooner and more efficiently. Building sustainability features will be considered through the site plan review process. Background: 1.0 Introduction The owners of the properties, Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc., propose to add residential uses including multiple dwelling-horizontal (townhouse) and multiple dwelling-vertical (apartments), institutional uses including day nurseries, nursing homes, and retirement homes, and to modify the currently permitted commercial uses to include business offices, convenience stores, professional service shops and professional offices (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). Subsequent to the statutory public meeting for this application, it was clarified that the owners desired to increase the maximum height permitted in the by-laws from six storeys to eight storeys. Staff considers this revision to be minor in nature and within the provisions of the Planning Act and do not feel that further public notice is required. Currently, the permitted uses at 1450 Pickering Parkway include business offices, financial institutions, personal service shops, professional offices, restaurants Type-A and retail stores. Currently, the permitted uses at 1525 Pickering Parkway include business offices and professional offices.. Both properties will be subject to site plan control review to ensure that future site designs are compatible with and sensitive to existing surrounding development and the detailed review of activity levels, scale and intensity of the uses will be required and considered through the Site Plan Approval process. Report PD 24-09 September 8, 2009 Subject: Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc. Page 3 1 2 - 2.0 Comments Received 2.1 At the April 7, 2008 Public Information Meeting (see text of Information Report & Meeting Minutes, Attachments #2 & #3) No members of the public in attendance at the public information meeting spoke in support or opposition to the application. 2.2 Written Public Submissions on the application No public comments have been received. 2.3 City Department and Agency Comments Region of Durham - regional centres shall be the main concentrations Planning Department of urban activities, providing a fully integrated array of community, office, service and shopping, recreational and residential uses; - in accordance with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, as an 'Urban Growth Centre', shall function as the dominant Centre within the Region, with specific emphasis on office, business and administrative services; - the proposal is in conformity to the Regional Official Plan; - servicing is available from the existing municipal water supply system and sanitary sewerage system on Pickering Parkway; - the proposal does not present any significant Durham Region Transit impacts; (see Attachment #4). No other agency that provided comment has any objection to the subject applications. 3.0 Discussion 3.1 The proposed uses comply with the Regional Official Plan and the City's Official Plan The applicant's proposal conforms to the Region of Durham Official Plan which designates the subject properties Regional Centre. Regional Centres are intended to be the main concentrations of urban activities, providing a fully integrated array of community, office, service and shopping, recreational and residential uses. Report PD 24-09 September 8, 2009 Subject: Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc. Page 4 13 The City of Pickering Official Plan designates the subject properties Mixed Use Area - Downtown Core within the Town Centre Neighbourhood. The Mixed Use Area policies and Town Centre Neighbourhood policies of the Plan encourage the highest mix and intensity of uses and activities in the City to be in this neighbourhood. Approval of the zoning by-law amendment to permit the requested uses conforms to the City's Official Plan. 3.2 Proposed Uses (Except Townhouses) Comply with Downtown Core Development Guidelines The Pickering Downtown Core Development Guidelines identify a vision for Pickering's Downtown and establish urban design guidelines to support the vision. The guidelines resulted in a conceptual plan for Downtown Pickering which included the desire to support an increased intensity and mix of uses in the downtown and provide a range of housing, employment, retail and entertainment opportunities. The Pickering Downtown Core Development Guidelines promote the creation of street-related mixed use buildings along Pickering Parkway and identify Pickering Parkway as an important commercial and employment spine through the downtown. The proposed additional uses, with the exception of townhouses, will implement this desired vision for Pickering Parkway. Townhouses would not provide the continuity of commercial activity nor the intensity of use that is desired for Pickering Parkway. Provisions for townhouses have therefore not been included in the draft zoning by-law amendments. The applicant is aware of and agrees with this position. These properties were zoned in 2002 and 2004 based on the development interests of the owners at that time. The zoning included various requirements related to the achievement of specific design objectives. The proposed increase in height from six to eight storeys is in keeping with these design objectives. All other provisions regarding built form are still considered appropriate and will remain unchanged (see Attachment #5 - By-law 6365/04 Schedules I & II and Attachment #6 - By-law 6007/02 Schedule 1). 3.3 The proposed increase in height is considered to be minor The current maximum height permitted by the by-law for 1450 Pickering Parkway is 27 metres. This height can accommodate an eight storey building. The change from six storeys to eight storeys for this site is considered to be a technical amendment. .Report PD 24-09 September 8, 2009 Subject: Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc. Page 5 The proposed increase in height from six storeys to eight storeys for 1525 Pickering Parkway is considered to be appropriate for the site and within the context of the site's neighbouring uses and the design objectives for the Downtown core. The width of Pickering Parkway and the required building set backs are sufficient to ensure that no significant overshadowing of the townhouses to the north will occur. No adverse impact to neighbouring properties would result from this change. 3.4 Intensification of uses for sites will not prejudice review of the Growth Centre The Provincial Growth Plan identifies Downtown Pickering as an Urban Growth Centre. The City will be undertaking a review of the downtown area to determine where and how intensification may be accommodated. If the Downtown Review indicates that greater intensity on the subject properties is desirable, such intensification may occur through a future rezoning. The current rezoning does not prejudice the review of the downtown area. 3.5 The proposed uses are appropriate and compatible to existing neighbouring uses Neighbouring uses already include apartments and commercial uses and therefore the proposed uses for the subject properties, with the exception of townhouses, are considered appropriate for the development of the lands. The noise levels created by Highway 401 would be in excess of the Ministry of the Environment recommendations for outdoor amenity spaces usually provided to townhouses. Due to the two storey increase in permissible height, the overall available floor space (within the building envelope area) for the sites will increase minimally, but given the sites' locations in close proximity to the Pickering Town Centre, the Transit Hub, and good access to Highway 401, anticipated traffic changes resulting from the proposed additional uses are expected to be negligible. 3.6 The conveyance of the unopened portion of Pickering Parkway is being finalized At the time of authoring this report, the City was in the process of finalizing the conveyance of the unopened portion of the Pickering Parkway road allowance to the applicant for development in conjunction with 1450 Pickering Parkway. These lands are included in this rezoning application. 3.7 The amendment to Zoning By-laws 6007/02 and 6365/04 should be enacted It is recommended that the site-specific Zoning By-laws 6007/02 and 6365/04 be amended to include the proposed uses except for grade-related townhouses. The existing zone requirements of the existing zoning by-law provisions are considered appropriate. Report PD 24-09 September 8, 2009 Subject: Pine Ridge Management Inc. & 1331301 Ontario Inc.
