Executive Summary: The subject lands are located at the southwest corner of Altona Road and Finch Avenue (see Location Map, Attachment #1). Nanak Creations Inc. has submitted applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By -law Amendment to implement a Draft Plan of Subdivision and a Draft Plan of Condominium for 23 townhouse units accessed by a private road (see Applicant's Revised Plan, Attachment #3). Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 2 The proposal is consistent with policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and the Durham Regional Official Plan, by providing for intensification through a compact form of development within the built up area and promoting an efficient use of land. The proposed development establishes a higher intensity use at the neighbourhood centre of Finch Avenue and Altona Road through appropriate massing and architectural detailing. The proposed development establishes a strong relationship with the intersection, which is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Official Plan and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Through the protection of environmental lands within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood, the amount of developable land has been reduced. In order to reach the population targets for this neighbourhood, it is appropriate to increase the density on the subject lands. The recommended Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendments provide for appropriate density and performance standards for this vacant parcel of land. Required common elements for the condominium plan have been identified and will be secured. Further, site plan approval will address remaining design and technical matters. Accordingly, staff recommends that Official Plan Amendment Application 12 -002 /P and Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 05/12 be approved, and that City Council endorse Draft Plan of Subdivision SP- 2012 -02. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. 1. Background 1.1 Property Description The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Finch Avenue and Altona Road (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject lands are comprised of two properties having a combined land area of approximately 0.5 of a hectare, with approximately 52 metres of frontage along Finch Avenue and approximately 63 metres of frontage along Altona Road. The site is presently vacant with no significant vegetation. Surrounding the subject lands to the south and west is an established medium density residential subdivision of semi - detached dwellings fronting onto Shadow Place. To the north, across Finch Avenue, are vacant agricultural lands, and to the east, across Altona Road, is a vacant commercial property. Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 3 1.2 Applicant's Original Proposal The applicant's original proposal was to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By -law to implement a draft plan of subdivision and a common element condominium for 24 townhouse units accessed by a private road. The original plan also included a total of 7 visitor parking spaces and a parkette at the south end of the property (see Applicant's Original Plan, Attachment #2). 1.3 Applicant's Revised Proposal Based on comments from the City and area residents, the applicant submitted a revised plan to deal with the overall layout and urban design for the site (see Applicant's Revised Plan, Attachment #3). The revised proposal includes the following changes: • a reduction in the total number of townhouses from 24 units to 23 units • a 315 square metre parkette is now the central focus of the development • a total of 7 visitor parking spaces are centrally located around the perimeter of the parkette • the vehicular entrance from Finch Avenue has been slightly shifted to the east to allow for a row of townhouse units along the westerly perimeter of the site; and • . a pedestrian connection from the development to Altona Road has been added The draft plan of subdivision proposes the creation of 3 blocks to accommodate a 3.0 metre wide road widening block along Finch Avenue; a 0.41 hectare residential development block for 23 townhouse units and a 0.3 metre reserve block along Altona Road and Finch Avenue. The draft plan of condominium proposes a common element condominium for private internal roads, visitor parking spaces, parkette, mailboxes, internal sidewalks and a water meter room. 2. Comments Received 2.1 Public comments from the October 1, 2012 Public Information Meeting, the April 9, 2013 Public Open House and written submissions At the October 1, 2012 Public Information Meeting, approximately seven residents /landowners attended the meeting to voice their concerns with respect to the original development proposal, and one letter of objection was received. The majority of their concerns related to whether the proposal was in keeping with the existing character of the neighbourhood. Specifically, the concerns identified are as follows: • compatibility of the proposed 3- storey dwellings with the existing 2- storey semi - detached dwellings along Shadow Place • insufficient supply of on -site visitor parking within the development site • increased traffic impacts; and • construction noise Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 4 The City Development Department received a petition, dated January 10, 2013, signed by 15 households along Shadow Place, Mapleview Court and Stonepath Circle stating that they do not want any development to occur on the subject lands. On April 9, 2013, a Public Open House was held to inform area residents about the revised development proposal. Three area residents attended the meeting and provided written comments. In addition to concerns raised at the Public Information Meeting, concerns regarding stormwater management and drainage were also identified. 2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments Region of Durham • the Region of Durham Planning Department has advised that the proposal complies with the Living , Areas designation policies of the Region Official Plan • in accordance with Regional By -law 11 -2000, the Official Plan Amendment application is exempt from Regional approval • the submitted Noise Feasibility Study indicated sound levels will exceed Ministry of Environment guidelines and recommends upgraded construction requirements and warning clauses be included in all purchase and sale agreements • the updated Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, dated February 2013, indicates that there are no potential site contamination concerns on the subject lands • a Stage 1 -2 Archaeological Assessment has been received and shall be submitted to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for their review and clearance • sanitary and water services are available to the subject lands • the Region has no objection to draft approval of the proposed Plans of Subdivision and Condominium, and have sent conditions of approval Toronto and . the TRCA is satisfied with the submitted Flood Study Region Report and revised Functional Storm Servicing Report Conservation • the TRCA has no objection to the Official Plan and Authority Zoning By -law amendments • the TRCA has no objections to the draft plan approval of the Plans of Subdivision and Condominium, and have sent conditions of approval Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc.

Planning Analysis June 10, 2013 Page 5 • generally satisfied with the development proposal at this time • no objections to the revised Traffic Impact Study and the location of the vehicular access is acceptable • generally satisfied with the revised Functional Servicing Report • detail drawings regarding landscaping, stormwater management and grading will be reviewed through the site plan approval process • details of emergency vehicle access will be finalized through the site plan review process 3.1 The proposal complies with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan and the Durham Regional Official Plan The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides provincial direction in terms of land use planning and development in Ontario with which municipal planning decisions must be consistent. The PPS states that healthy, livable and safe communities are to be sustained, including, among other matters, promoting efficient and cost - effective development to minimize land consumption and servicing cost. Land use patterns within settlement areas are to be based on densities and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land and resources; and demonstrate a compact form and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public service facilities. The proposal provides for intensification within the built up area and promotes efficient development and land use. Furthermore, the development provides for an additional housing type within the neighbourhood for the benefit of existing and future residents. The proposal conforms to the provisions of the PPS. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe ( "Growth Plan ") provides a framework for managing growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe including direction for where and how to grow. The subject lands are located within the "Built -Up Area" of Pickering, as defined in the Growth Plan. The development provides for a compact form of development that satisfies the Plan's intensification objectives. The subject lands are within the "Living Areas" designation of the Durham Regional Official Plan. Within the "Living Areas" designation lands are encouraged to be developed in a compact form through higher density uses. Policy 813.1.4 also encourages local official plans to maximize permissible densities on vacant lands within urban areas to create and maintain an attractive living environment. The proposed development complies with the applicable policies of Durham Region Official Plan. Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. June 10, 2013 Page 6 3.2 Redesignating the subject lands to "Urban Residential Area — Medium Density Areas" supports the goals and objectives of the Pickering Official Plan The subject lands are currently designated "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" in the Pickering Official Plan, which permits up to 30 units per hectare. The applicant is proposing 23 townhouse units on approximately 0.41 hectares of land, which equates to 56 units per net hectare. To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant has submitted an- application for Official Plan Amendment to redesignate the subject lands to "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas ", which permits residential uses with a density range of over 30 units per net hectare and up to and including 80 units per net hectare. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is appropriate and represents good planning. The proposal is consistent with section 6.2 (c) of the City's Official Plan, which states that City Council encourages the provision of an adequate range of housing and tenure types to be available and integrated within the City's neighbourhoods to meet the needs of existing and future populations. Furthermore, the proposal is also consistent with section 6.5 of the Official Plan which states that City Council shall maximize the efficiency of existing infrastructure and minimize the consumption of vacant land by encouraging infill development of vacant or underutilized blocks of land. The development as proposed reflects a compact urban form that makes efficient use of resources and infrastructure. The development also provides for an alternative housing form and tenure within the neighbourhood which is sensitive to and in scale with the existing neighbourhood. The proposed housing type and built form will help create a safe, attractive and pedestrian friendly environment along Finch Avenue and Altona Road. Staff recommend that Official Plan Amendment Application 12- 002 /P, submitted by Nanak Creations Inc., to redesignate the subject lands from "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" to "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas ", be approved, as outlined in Appendix I to Report Number PLN 16 -13. 3.3 The proposal is consistent with the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Policies and Development Guidelines The subject lands are located within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood for which Development Guidelines have been established and adopted by Council. This application has been reviewed against both the neighbourhood policies and the Development Guidelines for the Rouge Park neighbourhood. Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inca Page 7 The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines set out population targets for this neighbourhood based solely on sanitary sewer capacity. Due to additional lands required to protect key environmentally sensitive features within this neighbourhood, the amount of developable lands contemplated within this neighbourhood have been decreased. In order for the City to meet population targets for the Rouge Park Neighbourhood, an increase in density would be appropriate, where acceptable, on remaining developable lands. In 2000, an Official Plan Amendment was approved to facilitate the residential subdivision along Shadow Place that redesignated the lands from a "Low Density Area" to a "Medium Density Area" to permit the existing development of semi - detached dwellings in order to assist in reaching the population targets in this neighbourhood. The proposed development is consistent with the design goals and objectives of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. The Development Guidelines promote the lands around the intersection of Finch Avenue and Altona Road as the "Centre" of the neighbourhood. To support this focus, a higher concentration of activity and people is desirable within the area (relative to the rest of the neighbourhood). The proposed development supports the "neighbourhood focus" at the intersection through the orientation of the buildings fronting Finch Avenue and Altona Road. The development proposes appropriate massing and architectural detailing, which help establish a strong relationship with the intersection. The 3- storey townhouse units comply with the Guidelines which state that building heights preferably range from 3 to 5 stories to provide for a suitable visual focus within the Centre. The development of the subject lands with medium density residential uses will assist in achieving Council's objectives of establishing a neighbourhood focus at the intersection of Finch Avenue and Altona Road and meeting the population targets for the area. The proposal satisfies the direction of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. 3.4 Traffic issues are not anticipated as a result of this development Residents raised concerns with respect to the potential for higher traffic levels along Finch Avenue and Altona Road as a result of this residential development. Finch Avenue is a two -lane arterial roadway. Finch Avenue is under the Region's jurisdiction east of Altona Road, and is under the City's jurisdiction west of Altona Road. Altona Road is a two -lane arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of Durham Region. Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. June 10, 2013 Page 8 The applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study, prepared by Trans -Plan Inc., dated January 14, 2013 in support of the proposal. The study examined the associated traffic impacts on adjoining roads and the intersection of Altona Road and Finch Avenue. The 23 unit townhouse development is expected to generate approximately 16 and 19 two -way trips in the weekday AM and PM peak hours, respectively. The Finch Avenue and Altona Road intersection is expected to operate at a good level of service with minimal delay and with reserve capacity in the peak hours under future total traffic conditions. No additional roadway improvements or changes to the existing intersection signal timing are required to accommodate additional traffic generated by the proposed development. No traffic concerns are anticipated as a result of this development. 3.5 Sufficient visitor parking is available to serve the proposed development Another concern raised by area residents included insufficient visitor parking spaces provided to support the residential development. There will be sufficient residential parking with each dwelling unit accommodating two vehicles, one within a garage and one on the driveway. Pickering's standard visitor parking ratio for a residential condominium development is 0.25 parking spaces per dwelling unit. Based on this ratio, the applicant is required to provide a total of 6 visitor parking spaces, whereas the proposal provides for a total of 7 visitor parking spaces. Through the site plan approval process, staff will review whether there is opportunities to provide for additional visitor parking spaces. 3.6 Proposed three storey townhouses are compatible with existing neighbourhood development Residents expressed concerns regarding the compatibility of the proposed 3- storey townhouse units with the existing 2- storey semi - detached dwellings along Shadow Place and potential impact on their privacy from the proposed development. The proposed 3- storey townhouse units will have an overall building height of approximately 10.0 metres, as measured from the mid -point of the roof to the established grade. The abutting 2- storey semi - detached dwellings along . Shadow Place have a building height of approximately 8.0 metres. In response to the concern regarding the compatibility of the proposed building height, the applicant has provided a minimum rear yard depth of 7.0 metres and a minimum side yard width of 3.0 metres to the existing residential development to the west and to the south, respectively. Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. June 10, 2013 Page 9 In addition, the applicant has prepared a shadow study which provides a visual model of the impact of shadow cast by the proposed development at various recommended times and dates throughout the year. An accepted practice by municipalities is to maximize the use of private residential outdoor amenity spaces during the spring, summer and fall seasons. In order to accomplish this, shadow impacts should not exceed one hour in duration on private amenity areas, such as a backyard. This test is met if there are no new shadow impacts on adjacent development for more than two consecutive test times. The shadow study submitted by Nanak- Creations Inc. meets the minimum test as the shadow cast by the development does not exceed one consecutive test time. The shadow analysis demonstrates that the height of the proposed dwellings is acceptable and the proposed rear yard setbacks are of sufficient depth to prevent any major shadowing concerns for the residents along Shadow Place. The proposed townhouses along the western side of the subject lands, abutting Shadow Place, will not have decks attached to the second storey of the townhouses. The proposed zoning by -law amendment will include a provision ensuring that these properties will be limited to decks attached to the ground floor of the units. The restriction of decks to the main floor of the townhouses will ensure that privacy is maintained in the rear yard of the properties abutting the proposed development. The western and southern perimeter of the residential block is currently fenced to City standards. Conditions of Approval recommended in Appendix II to this Report include provisions to ensure that fencing is maintained in an acceptable condition around the subject lands during construction, and if damaged during construction the fence will be repaired /replaced to the City's satisfaction. Construction noise from the proposed development will also be dealt with through the Construction Management Plan, which requires compliance with the City's Noise By -law. Due to the findings of the shadow study and the restriction of decks to the ground floor of the townhouses, it is staff's opinion that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. 3.7 Drainage issues will be improved through the proposed development Another concern that was raised by the area residents was regarding the current drainage issues within the rear yards of the residents abutting the south end of the subject property. Some residents along Shadow Place backing onto the subject lands are currently experiencing drainage issues as the undeveloped lands appear to be draining onto these properties. The subject lands are presently undeveloped. The runoff from the lands through the site is generally from the north to the south, which currently impacts the residents along Shadow Place to the south of the subject property. Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 10 The development of the site will direct storm flow to the existing storm sewer on Altona Road and the existing catchbasin located in the southwest corner of the site. The development of the subject lands will manage the runoff generated on these lands by draining out to Altona Road, thereby improving the current situation of those residents along Shadow Place abutting the development. Engineering staff are generally satisfied with the recommendations of the revised Functional Servicing Report. 3.8 Sustainability Implications have been reviewed The applicant has submitted a review of the proposed development based on the City's Sustainable Development Guidelines. Staff's review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Given the size of the infill development, there is limited opportunities to achieve Level 1. However, the proposed development does incorporate many of the elements of the Guidelines including: • infill development on a vacant site • efficient use of existing infrastructure with higher density uses and compact built form • maximizing overall site sodding and vegetation areas • committing to the use of materials, such as permeable pavers, to achieve a 25% increase in permeability relative to conventional methods • committing to use native plant material for at least 75% of public landscaped area In addition, there will be an opportunity to improve this rating as additional sustainability measures become available through the site plan approval process and detailed building design. 3.9 All Technical Matters will be addressed as Conditions of Subdivision and Site Plan Approval Process In order to ensure all technical matters are appropriately addressed by the applicant, City requirements will be imposed as conditions of approval for the subdivision application. These requirements will address matters such as, but not limited to: • drainage and grading • site servicing • stormwater management plan • noise attenuation • cash -in -lieu of parkland • contributions towards stormwater management • requirements for Construction Management Plan Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 11 Detail design issues will be dealt with through the site plan approval process. A site plan application is yet to be submitted. These requirements will address matters such as, but not limited to: • fagade designs and upgrades, including the dwellings flanking Altona Road and Finch Avenue • landscaping • visitor parking • emergency vehicle access No further reports are anticipated to be brought before Council if the applications are approved. 3.10 Common Element Condominium application The applicant has submitted an application for Draft Plan of Condominium proposing a common element condominium for private internal roads, visitor parking spaces, parkette, mailboxes, pedestrian walkway to Altona Road and water meter room. A common element condominium refers to a development where each dwelling unit is individually owned (freehold ownership), and where amenities or physical features are collectively owned by the unit owners as tenants in common. It is anticipated that a future common element condominium corporation will be established to permit a community of individually owned homes with maintenance of the development's joint services, amenities and physical features provided through a common element condominium corporation. In accordance with Council policy and Delegation By -law 5391/01, the Director, City Development has the authority to grant draft plan approval for plans of condominium; therefore no further approvals are required from City Council. 3.11 Zoning By -law to be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment The subject lands are currently zoned "A" — Rural Agricultural. The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject lands with an urban residential zone that would permit a multi -unit residential townhouse development consisting of a maximum of 23 units. To ensure compatibility with the surrounding community and an appropriate design, the zoning by -law will include performance standards for maximum building height, minimum and maximum yard setbacks, and minimum number of residential and visitor parking spaces. It is recommended that a draft by -law be prepared and forwarded to Council for enactment. 3.12 Applicant's Comments The applicant has been advised of the recommendation of this report.

By -law read this day of 12013. p,PgFT David Ryan, Mayor r F Debbie Shields, City Clerk Amendment 24 to the Pickering Official Plan Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to revise Schedule I - Land Use Structure of the Pickering Official Plan, to permit medium density residential development on the subject lands. Location: The amendment to Schedule I would affect lands known as Part of Lot 1, Plan 388 and Block 39, Plan 40M -2086. Basis: Through the review of Official Plan Amendment Application 12- 002 /P, Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 5/12, Draft Plan of Subdivision SP- 2012 -02, and Draft Plan of Condominium CP- 2012 -03, an amendment to the Pickering Official Plan has been determined to be appropriate. The proposed development establishes a higher intensity use at the neighbourhood centre of Finch Avenue and Altona Road through appropriate massing and architectural detailing. The proposed development establishes a strong relationship with the intersection, which is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Official Plan and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Through the protection of environmental lands within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood, the amount of developable land has been reduced. In order to reach the population targets for this neighbourhood, it is appropriate to increase the density on the subject lands. In 2000, Council adopted OPA No. 5 to redesignate the lands along Shadow Place to permit medium density residential development. Actual Amendment: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: 1. Amending Schedule /—Land Use Schedule by replacing the "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" designation with "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas" designation, as illustrated on Schedule `A' attached to this amendment; Implementation: The provisions set forth in the City of Pickering Official Plan, as amended, regarding the implementation of the Plan shall apply in regard to this Amendment.
