Page 3
Front Yard Depth Variances
• the intent of a minimum front yard depth is to ensure that an adequate
landscaped area, parking area and separation distance is provided between the
dwelling and the front lot line
• the Zoning By-law states that where a main building is erected upon a corner lot
with its main front entrance facing the flank of such lot, such main building is
deemed to have two front yards; therefore, a minimum front yard depth of
7.5 metres is required along both Pleasant Street and Annland Street.
• the applicant is requesting a minimum front yard depth of 6.0 metres to the lot
line facing Pleasant Street, and a minimum front yard depth of 2.5 metres to the
lot line facing Annland Street
• the proposed front yard depth of 6.0 metres to Pleasant Street will provide a
sufficient buffer space between the dwelling and Pleasant Street and ensure that
an adequate driveway entrance supporting a parking area between the garage
and street can be maintained
• the proposed front yard depth of 2.5 metres to the lot line facing Ann land Street
is in keeping with the front yard depths of other properties along Ann land Street,
which range from approximately 2.5 metres to 4.5 metres
• the proposed front yard depths will provide an adequate landscaped area,
parking area and separation distance between the dwelling and the front lot lines
• the proposed front yard depths are compatible with the surrounding
neighbourhood
Uncovered Platforms Projecting into the required Front Yard Variance
• the intent of this provision is to provide the opportunity for any stairs and/or a
landing platform to encroach into the front yard when needed, to ensure an·
adequate buffer space between buildings and street activity is provided, and to
ensure an adequate landscaped area within the front yard is. also provided
• the by-law permits uncovered steps or platforms not exceeding 1.0 metre in
height above grade to project a ~aximum of 1.5 metres into the required front
yard

August26,2015
Page4
• the intent of a minimum side yard width is to provide an appropriate separation
between structures on abutting properties in order to maintain a pedestrian
access, to accommodate grading, drainage and residential services such as air
conditioning units and utility meters and to maintain the character of the
surrounding neighbourhood
• the applicant has requested a variance to reduce the.minimum north side yard
width from 1.5 metres to 1.2 metres
• the existing dwelling on the subject property has a north side yard width of 0.6 of
a metre, which was recognized by the Committee of Adjustment through minor
variance application PICA 09112
• the applicant is proposing a 3 storey dwelling, which will have a greater impact
on the adjacent property owner than the existing 1 storey detached dwelling,
therefore the applicant is proposing to increase the existing north side yard width
to 1.2 metres
• the adjacent dwelling to the north is setback an additional 3.4 metres from the
property line abutting the subject lands, which will maintain an appropriate
separation between the dwellings
• the proposed side yard setbacks will maintain the character of the existing
residential community
Maximum Lot Coverage Variances
• the intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to ensure that the size, scale
and massing of a dwelling, and bther accessory buildings are appropriate for the
lot size and to ensure an adequate amount of outdoor amenity area remains
uncovered by buildings on a lot
• the by-law permits a maximum lot coverage of 33 percent
• the applicant has requested a maximum lot coverage of 38 percent
• the increase in lot coverage from 33 percent to 38 percent will not change the
character of these properties or the area
• staff are of the opinion that the proposed development will maintain a sufficient
amount of outdoor amenity area that will remain uncovered and unobstructed on
the lot and will provide for the appropriate development of the land as the size,
scale and massing of the proposed dwelling will be in keeping with the character
of the surrounding neighbourhood
Staff are of the opinion that the requested variances are minor in nature, desirable for
the appropriate development of the land and maintain the purpose and intent of the
Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

• the applicant is proposing to replace an existing deck projecting 2.4 metres into
the required rear yard, with a larger deck projecting a maximum of 3.7 metres
into the required rear yard

the deck above grade, the minor increase in size from the existing deck, the
setbacks from the side property lines and the fact that the subject property abuts
the City of Pickering Recreation Complex parking lot to the rear

well as from abutting property owners will be maintained
• · the proposed deck will provide for additional outdoor amenity area and maintains

Committee of Adjustment Application PICA 96115
B. & L. Woodbine
305 T oynevale Road
The applicant requests relief from Zoning By-law 2511, as amended:
• to recognize an existing lot frontage of 15.2 metres, whereas the by-law permits
a minimum lot frontage of 18.0 metres
• to recognize an existing lot area of 460 square metres, whereas the by-law
permits a minimum lot area of 550 square metres
• to permit minimum side yard widths of 1.5 metres, where a garage is erected as
part of a detached dwelling, whereas the by-law permits minimum side yard
widths of 1.8 metres, where a garage is erected as part of a detached dwelling
• to permit a maximum lot coverage of 36 percent, whereas the by-law permits a
maximum lot coverage of 33 percent
The applicant requests approval of this minor variance application in order to obtain a
building permit to construct a two-storey detached dwelling.
Recommendation
The City Development Department considers an existing lot frontage of 15.2 metres, an
existing lot area of 460 square metres, minimum side yard widths of 1.5 metres, and a
maximum lot coverage of 36 percent to be minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate
development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the
Official P,lan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the
proposed variances, subject to the following conditions:
1. That these variances apply only to the proposed two-storey detached dwelling, as
generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans.
2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the proposed construction by
August 25, 2017, or this decision shall become null and void.

Background
August 26, 2015
Page 2
On April 30, 2014, the Committee of Adjustment approved Minor Variance Application
PICA 22/14, to permit a minimum lot frontage of 15.2 metres, a minimum lot area of
460 square metres and minimum side yard widths of 1.5 metres, where a garage is
erected as part of a detached dwelling.
The approval for PICA 22114 only applied to the lot configuration and side yards as sited
on the plans submitted at that time. The lot configuration has not been revised, and the
Land Division Application (LD 39114) to create the subject property has been finalized.
However, the applicant revised the siting and outline of the proposed dwelling and is
requesting an additional variance for an increase in lot coverage, therefore the previous
minor variance application no longer applies. ·
Comment

The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Urban Residential -Low
Density Areas" within the Rosebank Neighbourhood. ·
The subject property is currently zoned "R3"-Third Residential Zone within Zoning
By-law 2511 , as amended.

• the existing lot frontage and lot area for the subject property were created
through Land Division Application LD 39114 and previously approved by the
Committee of Adjustment through PICA 22114
• properties to the east of the subject property, along Toynevale Road, currently
permit a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres which is consistent with the lot
frontage requirements of the Rosebank Neighbourhood Developm~nt Guidelines
• a lot frontage of 15.2 metres and lot area of 460 square metres is compatible with
the established lotting pattern along Toyn.evale Road
• the existing lot has sufficient depth and frontage to allow for the construction of a
