The applicant requests relief from the following provisions of Zoning By-law 2511,
as amended by By-law 1247181:
• to permit a warehouse industrial building having a maximum gross floor area
of 27,530 square metres; whereas the by-law permits a maximum gross floor
area of 26,700 square metres; and
• to permit a canopy to project a maximum of 2.0 metres into the required front
yard; whereas the by-law does not permit any obstructions into the required
front yard
The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain Site Plan
Approval to permit an internal second level mezzanine, containing accessory

representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application.
Moved by Shirley Van Steen
Seconded by Tom Copeland
That application PICA 39113 by Squires Corp., be Approved on the grounds that
the maximum gross floor area of 27,530 square metres and a canopy to project a
maximum of 2.0 metres into the required front yard are minor in nature, that are
desirable for the appropriate development of the lands, and in keeping with the
general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, subject to
the following conditions:
1. That these variances apply only to the internal second level mezzanine and
proposed canopy, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted
plans.

Plan 40R-28022, Part 10, 15, 16, 20, 22, Plan 40R-28022
The applicant requests relief from the following provisions of Zoning By-law 3036, as
amended by By-law 7274113:
• to permit a covered platform and steps to project a maximum of 1.0 metre into
the required front yard, whereas the by-law does not permit covered steps and
platforms to encroach into the required front yard; and
• to permit a maximum lot coverage of 45 percent, whereas the by-law permits a
maximum lot coverage of 38 percent
The applicant has requested these minor variances in order to obtain building permits
for the construction of three proposed detached dwellings.
Recommendation:
The City Development Department considers the covered platform and steps to project
a maximum of 1.0 metre into the required front yard and the maximum lot coverage of
45 percent to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the lands,
and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning
By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances, subject to the
following conditions:
1. That the requested variances apply only to the three detached dwellings on lots
generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans.
2. That the applicant obtains building permits for the proposed detached dwellings, by
August 14, 2015, or this decision shall become null and void.
Report PICA 40113 to PICA 42113
Background:
August 14, 2013 OS
Page 2
A Zoning By-law Amendment was approved by Council on April 22, 2013 to permit the
development of eight lots for detached dwellings having frontage on Sand hurst
Crescent, and three lots for detached dwellings and two lots for four semi-detached
dwellings having frontage on Nordane Drive (see attachment). The lots fronting
Sandhurst Crescent were created through a land division application, which was
approved by Durham Region Land Division Committee, on May 22, 2013.
The proposed relief from the zoning by-law deals with the encroachment of covered
porches and steps into the required front yard and an increase in the lot coverage
requirement for three lots fronting Sand hurst Crescent. Upon review of the applications,
staff identified that the site specific zoning by-law (7274113), which was passed in
April 2013, did not include a provision to allow porches or stairs to encroach into the
required front yard.
Comment:
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Pickering Official Plan -"Urban Residential Area -Low Density Areas" within the
Highbush Neighbourhood
Zoning By-law 3036-"S3"-7274113
Requested Variances:
Covered Platform and Steps Projecting into the Required Front Yard
• the Zoning By-law does not permit covered steps or platforms to project into the
required front yard
• the applicant is requesting that a covered platform and steps project 1.0 metre
into the required front yard
• the intent of the by-law is to ensure adequate space is provided between the
covered platform and steps and the street, and to provide an adequate
landscaped area within the front yard
• the by-law requires a minimum front yard depth of 4.5 metres; the covered
platform and steps projecting 1.0 metres into the required front yard is
appropriate
• the covered platforms are approximately 6.0 square metres (65 square feet), and
therefore increase the lot coverage by approximately 1 percent
• the proposed building elevations with covered porches provide an enhanced
architectural building fagade fronting onto Sandhurst Crescent
06
Report PICA 40113 to PICA 42113 August 14, 2013
Page 3
• the proposed covered porches maintain a common and consistent streetscape
and building fagade within the existing neighbourhood
• staff are of the opinion that the requested variances to permit covered platforms
and steps to project into the required front yard would not have any adverse
impacts on the abutting property owners
• the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law
Increase in Lot Coverage
• the Zoning By-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent
• the intent of the maximum building lot coverage requirement is to maintain an
appropriate amount of outdoor amenity area uncovered by buildings on a lot to
regulate the scale and size of the buildings
• the increase in lot coverage to 45 percent will not change the character of this
property or the area
• the proposed dwellings require variances for an increase in lot coverage without
the covered platform and steps, the proposed lot coverage for the dwellings
without the covered platform and steps is approximately 43 percent
• there are no variances required for front, rear or side yard setbacks, therefore the
proposed dwelling will be built within the allowable building envelope
• staff are of the opinion that the requested variances to permit an increase in lot
coverage would not have any adverse impacts on the abutting property owners
• the requested variance is minor in nature and maintains the intent of the zoning
by-law

Committee of Adjustment Application PICA 43113
B. Sahota
1822 Fairport Road
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 3036, as amended, to permit a minimum
lot frontage of 16.5 metres, whereas the by-law requires a minimum lot frontage of
18.0 metres.
The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain zoning compliance to
reduce the minimum lot frontage requirement to facilitate the future severance of a
2. 7 metre wide parcel of land intended to be conveyed to the adjoining property to the
south, municipally addressed as 1816 Fairport Road.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers the minimum lot frontage of 16.5 metres
to be minor in nature that is desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and
in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law,
and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following
conditions:
1. That this variance apply only to the future retained lot created through Land Division
Application LD 087113, as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted
plans.
2. That the applicant obtains final clearance for Land Division Application LD 087113 by
September 26, 2014, or this decision shall become null and void.
Comment
Official Plan and Zoning By-law
The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as "Urban Residential -Low
Density Areas" within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood.
----------------------------
Report PICA 43/13 August 14, 2013
Page 2
The Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines provides direction on
neighbourhood development at a more detailed level than the Pickering Official Plan,
including recommendations on lot sizes, lot areas, dwelling types and building setbacks.
The Guidelines require new lots along existing roads to have a minimum lot frontage of
15.0 metres and a minimum lot depth of approximately 40.0 metres.
The subject property is presently zoned as "R3" -Third Density Residential Zone within
Zoning By-law 3036, as amended.
Background
The applicant has previously submitted a Land Division Application to the Region of
Durham Land Division Committee for the subject property (LD 087/13), to convey a
2. 7 metre wide parcel of land to the adjoining property to the south, municipally
addressed as 1816 Fairport Road. The Land Division Committeetabled the application
at the request of City Development Staff until the applicant obtains approval from the
Committee of Adjustment to reduce the minimum lot frontage for the retained parcel to
16.5 metres.
The applicant has also submitted two additional Land Division Applications (LD 085/13
and LD 086/13), which were conditionally approved by the Land Division Committee, in
order to assemble and consolidate lands with existing land holdings to the south
(1814 and 1816 Fairport Road). The applicant intends to consolidate the lands in order
to accommodate a future residential subdivision development immediately south of
Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive as well as to create three residential lots
with minimum lot frontages of 15.0 metres along Fairport Road. Once the lands are
consolidated, the applicant intends to file applications for Zoning By-Law Amendment
and Draft Plan of Subdivision to facilitate the entire development.
Appropriateness of the Application
Reduced Lot Frontage Variance
• the intent of the minimum lot frontage requirement is to ensure a usable lot size
that is compatible with the neighbourhood
• the reduced lot frontage of 16.5 metres would ensure a usable lot size that is
compatible with the neighbourhood and would provide an appropriate transition
from lots currently zoned "R3" to the north (requiring a minimum lot frontage of
18.0 metres) to the lots proposed to be zoned "R4" to the south (requiring a
minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres)
• the proposed retained parcel will have sufficient depth and frontage to allow for
the construction of a detached dwelling that is in keeping with the existing
dwellings along Fairport Road.
• the requested lot frontage meets the intent and purpose of the Official Plan, the
Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines and the Zoning By-law
