December 7, 2015 From: Catherine Rose Chief Planner Subject: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 15-00.4/P Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan City Initiated Official Plan Review: The Environment and Countryside 1. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information on a City initiated official plan amendment application. This report contains background information on the existing Official Plan and the rationale for the proposed amendment. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification and identify any planning matters. This report is to be received and no decision is to be made at this time. Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee upon completion of a review of the comments received and revisions to the amendment where appropriate. 2. Why is this amendment to the Pickering Official Plan necessary? Since the approval of the Official Plan in 1997, a significant number of new initiatives have been undertaken by the Province, the Region of Durham, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA), and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) in relation to the natural environment and countryside areas. These include the Provincial Greenbelt Plan and the Growth Plan, as well as the preparation of various Watershed Plans and studies by the conservation authorities. The City is required to bring its official plan into conformity with these legislative changes and.initiatives. The "Environment and Countryside" was identified as one of a number of topics to be addressed through the City's work program for the Pickering Official Plan Review. An overview of the status of the Review is provided as Attachment#1 to Information Report Number 09-15. In 2010, the City retained the services of Macaulay Shiomi Howson Ltd. and Natural Resource Solutions Inc. to prepare a background study to inform the development of a proposed amendment to the environmental and countryside policies in the Official Plan. Information Report No. 09-15 Page 2 Following consultation sessions with staff, key agencies, and Provincial Ministries, the final background study: "Natural Environment & Countryside, Policy Study Background Review" was released and presented to Council on March 7, 2011, and to the public at a public consultation meeting on March 24, 2011.. The background study recommended that the system-based approach (Natural Heritage System) be strengthened as the preferred direction for policy and mapping regarding the natural environment, which is consistent with Provincial and Regional policy direction. The study also contained other key recommendations that are listed in Attachment# 2 to Information Report 09-15. Since the completion of the background study, further changes to legislation and new environmental initiatives were introduced which have assisted staff in developing a more comprehensive response to the changing environmental policy regime. These legislative changes and initiatives include the following: • Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's Lynde Creek Watershed Plan (2012) • The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing's Provincial Policy Statement of 2014 • Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (TRCA's) Living City Policies for Planning and Development in the Watersheds of the TRCA (November 2014) • Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' Draft Guidelines on Permitted Uses in Ontario's Prime Agricultural Areas (February 2015) • Central Lake Ontario's Wildlife Corridor Protection and Enhancement Plan (March 2015) • the declaration of the Rouge Park as a National Urban Park (May 2015) • the Coordinated Review of Provincial Land Use Plans (2015) • the approval of the Credit Valley, Toronto and Region and Central Lake Ontario Source Protection Plan (July 2015) 3. What is the City proposing? The recommendations of the background study and the various initiatives and legislative changes mentioned in Section 2 of this report were used to inform the development of the proposed city-wide official plan amendment. The proposed policy changes to the Pickering Official Plan are identified in Appendix I: Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan. Related changes to the informational text of the Pickering Official Plan are identified in Appendix II: Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan.

Other policy changes include updated mapping to reflect certain modifications to the road network, including the identification of the 407 Highway, and minor revisions reflecting new terminology and housekeeping matters. Location: The Amendment applies City wide. Basis: The City is undertaking an Official Plan Review in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. The review is being undertaken through a series of topic oriented amendments. The need for the review reflects the fact that, since the adoption of the Official Plan in 1996, a significant number of new initiatives have been undertaken by the Province, the Region of Durham, the City and other agencies including the Conservation Authorities which relate to the natural environment and countryside areas. The Natural Environment and Countryside Policy Study dated February 2011, provides the foundation for this amendment. The study reflects the results of technical analysis as well as consultation with agencies, the public and other stakeholders. It reviewed and recommended updates to the natural heritage and other environmental and countryside policies in the Official Plan to conform to revised Provincial and Region of Durham policies; respond to Conservation Authority initiatives; and introduce new City initiatives. The Policy Study recommendations were further refined and augmented by staff to reflect more recent changes brought about through new Provincial Policy and Conservation Authority initiatives, as well as current conditions based on available background information.

DNAPLs have been readily used in industrial and commercial applications such as dry cleaning, cleaning/degreasing solvents, electronics, aerosols, plastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, wood preservation, asphalt operations, varnishes and the repair of motor vehicles and equipment. "Dynamic Beach Hazard means areas of inherently unstable • accumulations of shoreline sediments along Lake Ontario, as identified by Provincial standards, as amended from time to time. The dynamic beach hazard limit consists of the flooding hazard plus a dynamic beach allowance. Hazardous lands means property or lands that could be unsafe for development due to naturally occurring processes. Along a creek, this means the land, including that covered by water, to the furthest landward limit of the flooding hazard or erosion hazard limits. Along the Lake Ontario shoreline, this means the land, including that covered by water, between the international boundary, where applicable, and the furthest landward limit of the flooding hazard, erosion hazard, or dynamic beach hazard limits. Hazardous sites means property or lands that could be unsafe for development and site alteration due to naturally occurring hazards. High Aquifer Vulnerability or High Vulnerable Aquifer means an aquifer on which external sources have or are likely to have a significant adverse effect, and includes the land above the • aquifer.

Key Natural Heritage Feature includes the habitat of endangered species, threatened species and special concern Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 49 species, fish habitat, wetlands, Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest, significant woodlands, significant wildlife habitat, sand barrens, savannah and tallgrass prairies. Organic Solvents are liquid organic compounds (i.e., containing carbon) with the power to dissolve solids, gases, or liquids. Most organic solvents have a lower density than water, which means they are lighter and will sit as a separate layer on top of water. Organic Solvents have been readily used in industrial and commercial applications such as paints, cleaning/degreasing, dry cleaning, electronics, aerosols, plastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, wood preservation, asphalt operations, varnishes and the repair of motor vehicles and equipment. Organic solvents can also be found in small quantities in common household products such as cleaners. Vegetation Protection Zone means a buffer area adjacent to a key natural heritage feature or a hydrologically sensitive feature that is intended to protect the feature and its ecological function from adjacent land use impacts. Water-related H a z a rds means water-associated phenomena other than flooding hazards and wave uprush which act on shorelines. This includes, but is not limited to ship generated waves, ice piling, and ice jamming. Watershed means an area that is drained by a river and its tributaries. Wave uprush means the rush of water up onto a shoreline or structure following the breaking of a wave, with the limit of wave uprush being the point of furthest landward rush of water onto the shoreline." • Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 50 74.

(b) for lands within the minimum area of influence that relates to a key natural heritage feature but outside the key natural feature itself and the related minimum Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickerin g Official Plan Page 61 vegetation protection zone, require a natural heritage evaluation for an application for development or site alteration that shall: (i) demonstrate that the development or site alteration applied for will have no adverse effects on the key natural heritage feature or on the related ecological functions; (ii) identify planning, design and construction practices that will maintain and, where possible, • improve or restore the health, diversity and size of the key natural heritage feature and its connectivity with other key natural heritage features; (iii) demonstrate how connectivity within and between key natural heritage features will be maintained and, where possible, improved or restored before, during and after construction; (iv) if Table 19 specifies the dimensions of a minimum vegetation protection zone, determine whether it is sufficient, and if it is not sufficient, specify the dimensions of the required minimum vegetation protection zone and provide for the maintenance and, where possible, improvement or restoration of natural self-sustaining vegetation within it (v) If Table 19 does not specify the dimensions of a minimum vegetation protection zone, determine whether one is required, and if one is required, specify the dimensions of the required minimum vegetation protection zone and provide for the maintenance and, where possible, improvement or restoration of natural self-sustaining vegetation within it, including, without limitation, an analysis of land use, soil type, slope class and vegetation type, using criteria Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 62 established by the Province, as amended from time to time, and (c) for lands within the minimum area of influence that relate to a key hydrologically sensitive feature, but outside the hydrologically sensitive feature itself and the related minimum vegetation protection zone, require a hydrological evaluation for an application for development or site alteration that shall: (i) demonstrate that the development or site alteration will have no adverse effects on the hydrologically sensitive feature or on the related hydrologic functions; (ii) identify planning, design and construction practices that will maintain, and where possible improve or restore the health, diversity and size of the hydrologically sensitive feature; and iii) determine whether the minimum vegetation protection zone dimensions specified in Table 19 are sufficient, and if not sufficient, specify the dimensions of the required minimum vegetation protection zone and provide for the maintenance and, where possible, improvement or restoration of natural self-sustaining vegetation within it, and (iv) in the case of permanent and intermittent streams, seepage areas and springs, determine whether the minimum vegetation protection zone dimensions specified in Table 19 are sufficient, and if not sufficient, require, without limitation, an analysis of land use, soil type and slope class, using criteria established by the Province, as amended from to time. (v) in the case of a key hydrologically sensitive feature that is fish habitat, ensure compliance with the requirements of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (Canada); Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 63 (d) despite any other policies of this Plan to the contrary, require new buildings and structures used for agriculture within the Natural Heritage System of the Greenbelt Plan to provide a 30 metres vegetation protection zone from a key natural heritage or hydrologically sensitive feature. This vegetation protection zone may consist of natural self-sustaining vegetation or agricultural crops if the land is, and will continue to be used for agricultural purposes. (e) despite section 14.2 (b)(iii), for minor changes and refinements to Schedules IIIA — IIID, based on updated information from the Province or as a result of detailed studies, such as those noted above, not require an amendment to this Plan, and where the feature is a wetland, an area of natural and scientific interest and/or significant portions of the habitat of endangered, rare and threatened species, or their related minimum vegetation protection zones, proposed refinements to the boundary or the extent of the feature requires formal confirmation from the Province prior to any development." Proposed Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 64 99.

Location: The changes apply City wide. Basis: In reviewing the informational text contained in the Official Plan, various technical revisions have been determined to be necessary and appropriate to assist users with understanding the changes to the Official Plan policy implemented through Amendment 27. Revision: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby revised by: 1. Deleting the following maps in Chapter Two—The Planning Framework: • Map 2, Watersheds, Streams & Valleys; • Map 3, Physiographic Regions; • Map 4, Forests, Fields and Hedgerows; • Map 5, Known Areas Of Groundwater,Recharge And Discharge; • Map 6, Environmental Resource Areas; and • Map 7, Natural Systems Plan. 2. Renumbering Map 8 — Pickering's Urban System, in Chapter Two—The Planning Framework as Map 2, and adjusting the settlement boundary of the hamlet of Brougham south of Highway 7, as illustrated on Attachment "A" to this revision. 3. Renumbering Map 9 —South Pickering Urban Neighbourhoods, in Chapter Two —The Planning Framework, as Map 3-A, as illustrated on Attachment "B" to this revision. 4. Renumbering Map 9-B— Central Pickering Seaton Urban Area Neighbourhoods, in Chapter Two —The Planning Framework, as Map 3-B, and adjusting the settlement boundary of the hamlet of Brougham south of Highway 7, as illustrated on Attachment "C" to this revision. Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 2 5. Renumbering Map 10— Pickering's Rural System, in Chapter Two—The Planning Framework, as Map 4, and adjusting the settlement boundary of the hamlet of Brougham south of Highway 7, as illustrated on Attachment "D" to this revision. 6. Revising newly numbered Maps 2, 3-B and 4 in Chapter Two —The Planning Framework by: • adjusting the boundary of the Hamlet of Cherrywood, south of Third Concession Road, to follow existing lot lines; and • adjusting the boundaries of the Hamlet of Greenwood east of Westney Road and west of Greenwood Road, to follow existing lot lines; as illustrated on Attachments "A", "C" and "D" to this revision. 7. Adding the following new information maps in Chapter Two—The Planning Framework: • Map 5 — Federal and Provincial Policy Areas • Map 6 - Conservation Authority Regulatory Areas as illustrated respectively on Attachments "E" and "F" to this revision. 8. Deleting from Chapter Two—The Planning Framework, within the subsection entitled "Pickering's Ecological System", the following informational text: • the fifth through twelfth informational paragraphs inclusive and commencing with the phrase "Despite its complexity" and ending with the phrase "features identified on Schedule III (Resource Management); and • the related informational text boxes which provide an explanation for Map 2 and list natural areas; and replacing the informational paragraphs with the following: 9 "In support of a healthy ecological system, it is an important goal to protect key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features for the long term. Achieving a healthy, self-sustaining, connected Natural Heritage System is integral to ensuring a healthy and resilient watershed. The systems based approach Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 3 establishes a connected and integrated system of natural core areas and linkages. Such a system has a greater ability to sustain itself, particularly in urban and agricultural areas, compared with an approach which only protects individual features. At the same time, the Natural Heritage System, shown on Schedule IIIA, provides a range of habitats, so it may include areas which are not significant natural features. The key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features, which form the basis for the City's Natural Heritage System, are shown on Schedules IIIB, IIIC and IIID, and reflect information from available sources including the Ministry of Natural Resources, Region of Durham, Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) and the City. The system reflects the results of this analysis. It incorporates all key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features and reflects: • the Greenbelt Natural Heritage System as identified in the Greenbelt Plan; • the Natural Heritage System as identified in the Central Pickering Development Plan; • updated information on watersheds from TRCA and CLOCA; • the current identification of wetlands and other features from a range of sources; • the results of the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Review; and, • adjustments to the boundary to better identify existing and approved development." • Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 4 9. Revising the third to sixth informational paragraphs in the subsection entitled "Rural Goals", Chapter Two— The Planning Framework, to read as follows: "By 4$962015, approximately 4,5300 people lived in rural Pickering, representing about 6 5% of the total population of the City. Although the number of people living in the rural area will increase over the next 20 years, the ratio of the number of people living in rural Pickering compared to urban Pickering will drop by 2046 2031to less than 53% of the City's total population. Most of the City's residential growth will occur in the urban area. Still, some rural population growth is considered necessary and desirable to maintain a healthy and viable rural area. Based on a data collected in December 2014 -- 114 - - -- - - - - . that bctwccn 1,000 and 1,500 approximately 200 additional people could be accommodated in rural Pickering over the next 20 15 years, primarily in and around hamlets and clustcra through infill or development of vacant lots. Rural population growth could also occur as a result of homes being built on vacant lots outside of settlements. As well, some population may be added in the rural area through the development of new rural settlements, such as country residential subdivisions, if approved by Council. Employment opportunities in rural Pickering are currently limited. It is estimated that as of 1996, rural Pickering provided between 500 and 1,000 jobs. In the past, most rural jobs were in agriculture and related businesses. Today, because of a general decline in farming, rural job opportunities need to be more diverse if the City is to sustain a healthy rural economy." Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 5 10. Revising the informational sidebar, which relates to the Rural Population Target and Allocation referred to in Section 2.22, to read as follows: "Rural Residential Growth* Total Rural Population 1,000 to 1,500 Growth (2015 to 2031) approximately 200 people Hamlets and Clusters At least-7-00 80 people Existing Lots Located Outside 120 2-00 people of Settlements New*Rural Settlements Up to between 100 and -60 * _ ....- -__ . : . . . - Declining Rural Residential Growth is reflective of an aging population and a reduced person per unit count" 11. Revising the informational paragraphs in the subsection entitled "Rural Settlements", Chapter Two -The Planning Framework, to read as follows: "Most of Pickering's rural growth over the past twenty years wilt occured in and around its Rural Settlements - areas where rural housing and related uses are (or will be) concentrated. Ninc existing Rural Settlements are designated: Cherrywood and Area, Whitevale, Grccn River, Brougham, Greenwood and Area, Staxton -Glen, Kinsale, Claremont, and Balsam. Four additional settlements arc designated but have not yet been built: Barclay Estates (a country residential subdivision approved in 1995); and Birchwood Estates, Spring Creek and Forest Creek Estates (country residential subdivisions approved in 1998). In addition, a second phase of the Staxton Glen country residential subdivision was approved in 1998. There are four types of rural settlements in Pickering, generally differentiated by size, characteristics and mix of uses: rural hamlets, Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets, rural clusters and country residential subdivisions. Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 6 Rura l hamlets are existing hamlets that are generally long-established. They are the focus of rural growth and development. They often contain a variety of land uses, including residential, commercial, community, cultural and recreational growth, may uses. Limited owth which ma include the full variety of land uses, will be within the hamlet boundary of those hamlets determined to be suitable for further development. The designated Rural hamlets in Pickering are Cherrywood, Whitevale, Green River, Brougham, Greenwood, Staxton Glen, Kinsale, Balsam, and Claremont in part. Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets are existing hamlets or similar small communities that are generally long- established. They often contain a variety of land uses, and provide opportunities for growth only within the existing hamlet boundary. Most of Claremont is designated Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlet. Rural clusters are groupings of residential dwellings, usually developed along existing rural roads. They provide only minor opportunities for growth arkd expansion through infill development and/or development on existing lots. The designated Rural clusters in Pickering are Cherry Wood East, Cherrywood West, and the Greenwood Cluster. No new Rural clusters will be permitted. Country residential settlements are large lot, rural residential subdivisions built mainly on internal roads with little or no opportunity for expansion and will not exceed the maximum approved size. The designated Country residential subdivisions in Pickering are Birchwood Estates, Barclay Estates, Spring Creek, and Forest Creek Estates. No new Country residential subdivisions will be permitted. To properly control the amount, nature and distribution of rural growth, Rural Settlement Plans have been prepared for each Rural Settlement (see Chapter Twelve). If another Rural Settlement is approved (by amendment to the Plan), an appropriate Rural Settlement Plan would II Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 7 also be incorporated into this Plan (also by amendment). No other Rural Settlements will be approved.". 12. Deleting the subtitles for deleted Sections 2.29, 2.30, 2.31 and 2.32 entirely, and adding subtitles for newly added Sections 2.29 and 2.30, to respectively read as follows: "CITY POLICY Minor Rural Settlement Expansions through Comprehensive Review" and, "CITY POLICY No new Rural Settlements" 13. Revising the first informational text box in Chapter Three— Land Use which lists the Primary Land Use Categories by adding the word "Prime" before the title "Agricultural Areas". 14. Revising the informational paragraphs in Chapter Three —Land Use which introduce the Open Space System land use category, to read as follows: "Open Space System The eOpen &Space System is Pickering's "greenspace", important not only for its role in maintaining ecological health, including maintaining and, where possible, improving the ecological and hydrological integrity of the Natural Heritage System, but also in promoting physical, spiritual and mental health for the City's residents. The Open Space System is derived from an analysis of the linked Open Space System established in the City's 1996 Official Plan. The analysis focused on an examination of information from available sources. The eOpen Space sSystem includes a variety of key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features including the Rouge- Duffins wildlife corridor, the Lake Iroquois shoreline, significant habitat of endangered species, threatened species and special concern species, the City's valley and stream corridors, shorelines, environmentally gnifcant .fea ; areas of natural and scientific interest, Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 8 wetlands, significant forested areas woodlands, and major parks, recreational and conservation areas, major open space linkages, and other major blocks of land that make up the City's natural core areas and corridors, and the Oak Ridges Moraine significant wildlife and fish habitat. The eOpen sSpace sSystem is derived from Map 7 (Natural Systems Plan) described in Part One, and incorporates most of the environmental feature:, designated on Schedule III (Resource Management) also includes major parks, recreational and conservation areas, and other major blocks of land that make up the City's natural core areas, corridors and linkages. Lands designated as part of the eOpen space sSystem are intended to be used primarily for conservation, restoration, environmental education, recreation and ancillary purposes." 15. Revising the informational paragraphs in Chapter Three — Land Use which introduce the Rural Settlements land use category, to read as follows: "Rural settlements are recognized concentrations of rural housing and related uses. In Pickering there are four types of rural settlements, differentiated by their size, characteristics and location on the Oak Ridges Moraine: country residential, rural clusters, rural hamlets and Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets. Typically, country residential developments are large lot residential subdivisions on their own with an internal roads network. They are relatively new developments with large dwellings and large building setbacks. Once g g g g established, they usually have little or no opportunity for additional residential development or expansion will not exceed the maximum approved size. No new country residential settlements will be permitted. Rural clusters are groupings of residential dwellings developed along or beside existing rural roads. They are usually visible from these roads, and may contain some non-residential uses. Rural clusters vary in size and are Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 9 often either beside or adjacent to rural hamlets. Once established, rural clusters usually provide only very minor opportunity for additional residential development through infill and/or expansion development on existing lots (usually through infill or the addition of 1 lot on the • per). No new residential clusters will be permitted. Rural hamlets and Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets are historic settlements, and they are usually much more diversified than either country residential subdivisions or rural clusters. Although they are predominantly residential, they often contain a number of other land uses and activities, including commercial, community, cultural and recreational opportunities. Rural hamlets are often the service and social centres of the surrounding rural area, and the primary focus for limited new rural growth and development (both residential and other complementary and support facilities) within the hamlet boundary of those hamlets determined to be suitable for further development." Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 10 16. Revising the title and informational paragraphs in Chapter Three—Land Use which introduce the Agricultural Areas and Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas land use categories, to read as follows: "Prime Agricultural Areas and Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas Prime Agricultural Areas and Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas recognize those lands in Pickering where the agricultural land base is intended for long—term protection, for existing and future generations. These lands generally contain Classes 1-3 soils as defined by the Canada Land Inventory Soil Capability for Agriculture. They also include areas of lesser agricultural significance (Canada Land Inventory Classes 4-7 soils) and additional areas where there is a local concentration of farms which exhibit characteristics of ongoing agriculture. In these areas, primarily agricultural uses are permissible, such as the growing of crops and the raising of animals. On—Ffarm diversified uses such as dwellings and home occupations and agri—tourism uses such as bed and breakfast establishments and farm tours that are directly related and devoted to the existing farm operation, are also permissible. In addition, other compatible secondary and farm—related agricultural uses that are complementary and supportive to a farm operation may be permissible by site—specific rezoning. Complements aAgricultural—related uses that are complementary and supportive of include home businesses, such as equipment repair, woodworking, crafts and welding, and farm—related businesses such a:, value—added processing and packing operations of agricultural products, roadside produce stands selling -- - • - • -- - ••• _ operation, farm vacations as part of a farming operation, acrd such as cottage wineries, riding schools and horse shows are also permissible processing produce from local farming operations. Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 11 Non-agricultural uses will be limited to forest, fish and wildlife management, conservation, infrastructure and existing uses.

Revising the informational paragraphs in Chapter Three—Land Use which introduce the Potential Airport Site land use category, to read as follows: "A Potential Airport Site is identified in order to protect for a possible regional airport, should it be determined by others, in consultation with the City, that such an airport is required in the future. At this time, it is unknown whether such an airport is needed, or (if needed) when it may be built. Until a decision is made on developing a regional airport, uses permissible in this area include primary agricultural, on-farm diversified uses, agricultural-related uses that are complementary and supportive to a farm operation, and complcmcntary and supportivc agricultural uses, conservation, environmental protection, restoration, passive recreation, and existing lawful uses." 19. Revising the informational paragraphs in Chapter Three —Land Use which introduce the Study Areas land use category to delete the second paragraph, to read as follows: "The Urban Study Areas category recognizes lands in the City where further study is required before land uses can Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 12 be designated. Only interim uses are permissible, until completion of the required studies. Four of the Rural Study Areas are to consider the possibility of a major minor hamlet expansion (minor expansions arc permissiblc in section 2.32). The other Rural Study Area is or to confirm the appropriateness of the land use designations.—Until the studies are done, uses are permissible as outlined by the respective land use designations." 20.

Achieving a healthy. self- sustaining, connected Natural Heritage System is integral to ensuring a healthy and resilient watershed. The systems based approach establishes a connected and integrated system of natural core areas and linkages. Such a system has a Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 3 greater ability to sustain itself, particularly in urban and agricultural areas, compared with an approach which only protects individual features. At the same time, the Natural Heritage System, shown on Schedule IIIA, provides a range of habitats, so it may include areas which are not significant natural features. The key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features, which form the basis for the City's Natural Heritage System, are shown on Schedules fIIB, IIIC and IIID, and reflect information from available sources including the Ministry of Natural Resources, Region of Durham, Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) and the City. The system reflects the results of this analysis. It • incorporates all key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features and reflects: • the Greenbelt Natural Heritage System as identified in the Greenbelt Plan; • the Natural Heritage System as identified in the Central Pickering Development Plan; • updated information on watersheds from TRCA and CLOCA; • the current identification of wetlands and other features from a range of sources; • the results of the Duff-in Heights Neighbourhood Review; and • adjustments to the boundary to better identify existing and approved development." • Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 4 9. Revising the third to sixth informational paragraphs in the subsection entitled "Rural Goals", Chapter Two — The Planning Framework, to read as follows: "By 4-9962015, approximately 4, 300 people lived in rural Pickering, representing about 6 5% of the total population of the City. Although the number of people living in the rural area will increase over the next 20 years, the ratio of the number of people living in rural Pickering compared to urban Pickering will drop by 204-6 2031to less than 53% of the City's total population. Most of the City's residential growth will occur in the urban area. Still, some rural population growth is considered necessary and desirable to maintain a healthy and viable rural area. Based on a data collected in December 2014 The 1994 rural vision developed by residents proposcd that between 1,000 and 1,500 approximately 200 additional people could be accommodated in rural Pickering over the next 20 15 years, primarily in and around hamlets and clusters through infill or development of vacant lots. Rural population growth could also occur as a result of homes being built on vacant lots outside of settlements. As well, some population may be added in the rural area through the development of new rural settlements, such as country residential subdivisions,if approved by Council. Employment opportunities in rural Pickering are currently limited. It is estimated that as of 1996, rural Pickering provided between 500 and 1,000 jobs. In the past, most rural jobs were in agriculture and related businesses. Today, because of a general decline in farming, rural job opportunities need to be more diverse if the City is to sustain a healthy rural economy." Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 5 10. Revising the informational sidebar, which relates to the Rural Population Target and Allocation referred to in Section 2.22, to read as follows: "Rural Residential Growth* Total Rural Population ! 1,000 to 1,500 Growth (2015 to 2031) approximately 200 people Hamlets and Clusters At least 7-90 80 people • Existing Lots Located Outside of 120 208 people Settlements Nov*Rural Settlements Up to between 100 and 600 PeoPle * Settlements approved or built dui.* or after 1996 Declining Rural Residential Growth is reflective of an aging population and a reduced • person per unit count" 11. Revising the informational paragraphs in the subsection entitled "Rural Settlements", Chapter Two —The Planning Framework, to read as follows: "Most of Pickering's rural growth over the past twenty years will occured in and around its Rural Settlements — areas where rural housing and related uses are (or will be) concentrated. Nine existing Rural Settlements arc designated: Cherrywood and Area, Whitevale, Green River, Brougham, Greenwood and Area, Staxton Glen, Kinsale, Claremont, and Four additional settlements arc designated but have not yet been built: Barclay Estates (a country residential subdivision . :: •• ; : -: tirchwood Estates, Spring Creek and Forest Crcck Estates (country residential subdivisions approved in 1998). In addition, a second phase of the Staxton Glen country residential subdivision was approved in 1998. There are four types of rural settlements in Pickering, generally differentiated by size, characteristics and mix of uses: rural hamlets, Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets, rural clusters and country residential subdivisions. Rural hamlets are existing hamlets that are generally long- established. They are the focus of rural growth-and development. They often contain a variety of land uses, . including residential, commercial, community,cultural and recreational uses. Limited growth,which may include the full Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 6 variety of land uses,will be within the hamlet boundary of those hamlets determined to be suitable for further development. The designated Rural hamlets in Pickering are Cherrywood,Whitevale,Green River,Brougham, Greenwood, Staxton Glen,Kinsale,Balsam, and Claremont in part. Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets are existing hamlets or similar small communities that are generally long-established. They often contain a variety of land uses, and provide opportunities for growth only within the existing hamlet boundary. Most of Claremont is designated Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlet. Rural clusters are groupings of residential dwellings, usually developed along existing rural roads. They provide only minor opportunities for growth through infill development and/or development on existing lots. The designated Rural clusters in Pickering are Cherry Wood East, Cherrywood West, and the Greenwood Cluster. No new Rural clusters will be permitted. Country residential settlements are large lot, rural residential subdivisions built mainly on internal roads with little or no opportunity for expansion and will not exceed the maximum approved size. The designated Country residential subdivisions in Pickering are Birchwood Estates, Barclay Estates, Spring Creek, and Forest Creek Estates. No new Country residential subdivisions will be permitted. To properly control the amount, nature and distribution of rural growth, Rural Settlement Plans have been prepared for each Rural Settlement (see Chapter Twelve). If another Rural Settlement is approved (by amendment to the Plan), an appropriate Rural Settlement Plan would also be incorporated into this Plan (also by amendment). No other Rural Settlements will be approved." 12. Deleting the subtitles for deleted Sections 2.29, 2.30, 2.31 and 2.32 entirely, and adding subtitles for newly added Sections 2.29 and 2.30, to respectively read as follows: "CITY POLICY Minor Rural Settlement Expansions through Comprehensive Review" and, Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 7 "CITY POLICY No new Rural Settlements" 13.

The Open Space System is derived from an analysis of the linked Open Space System established in the City's 1996 Official Plan. The analysis focused on an examination of information from available sources. The °Open sSpace sSystem includes a variety of key natural heritage and hydrologically sensitive features including the Rouge-Duffins wildlife corridor, the Lake Iroquois shoreline, significant habitat of endangered species, threatened species and special concern species, the City's valley and stream corridors, shorelines, environmentally significant areas; areas of natural and scientific interest, wetlands, significant forested areas woodlands, and major parks, recreational and conservation areas, major open space linkages, and other major blocks of land that make up the City's natural core areas and corridors, . - e- ':::-- : :'.-- significant wildlife and fish habitat. The °Open sSpace sSystem is derived from Map 7 (Natural Systems Plan) described in Part One, and incorporates moat of the environmental features designated on Schedule III (Resource Management) also includes major parks, recreational and conservation areas, and other major blocks of land that make up the City's natural core areas, corridors and linkages. Lands designated as part of the eOpen sSpace sSystem are intended to be used primarily for conservation, restoration, environmental education,recreation and ancillary purposes." Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 8 15. Revising the informational paragraphs in Chapter Three — Land Use which introduce the Rural Settlements land use category, to read as follows: "Rural settlements- are recognized concentrations of rural housing and related uses. In Pickering there are four types of rural settlements, differentiated by their size, characteristics and location on the Oak Ridges Moraine: country residential, rural clusters, rural hamlets and Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets. • Typically, country residential developments are large lot residential subdivisions on their own with an internal roads network. They are relatively new developments with large dwellings and large building setbacks. Once established, they usually have little or no opportunity for additional residential development or expansion will not exceed the maximum approved size. No new country residential settlements will be permitted. Rural clusters are groupings of residential dwellings developed along or beside existing rural roads. They are usually visible from these roads, and may contain some non- residential uses. Rural clusters vary in size and are often either beside or adjacent to rural hamlets. Once established, rural clusters usually provide only very minor opportunity for additional residential development through infill and/or expansion development on existing lots . . : - ... or the addition of 1 lot on the periphery). No new residential clusters will be permitted. Rural hamlets and Oak Ridges Moraine rural hamlets are historic settlements, and they are usually much more diversified than either country residential subdivisions or rural clusters. Although they are predominantly residential, they often contain a number of other land uses and activities, including commercial, community, cultural and recreational opportunities. Rural hamlets are often the service and social centres of the surrounding rural area, and the primary focus for limited new rural growth and development (both residential and other complementary and support facilities) within the hamlet boundary of those hamlets determined to be suitable for further development." Proposed Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 9 16. Revising the title and informational paragraphs in Chapter Three —Land Use which introduce the Agricultural Areas and Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas land use categories, to read as follows: "Prime Agricultural Areas and Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas Prime Agricultural Areas and Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas recognize those lands in Pickering where the agricultural land base is intended for long-term protection, for existing and future generations.

They also include areas of lesser agricultural significance (Canada Land Inventory Classes 4-7 soils) and additional areas where there is a local concentration of farms which exhibit characteristics of ongoing agriculture. In these areas, primarily agricultural uses are permissible, such as the growing of crops and the raising of animals. On-Ffarm diversified uses such as dwellings and home occupations and agri-tourism uses such as bed and breakfast establishments and farm tours that are directly related and devoted to the existing farm operation, are also permissible. In addition, other compatible secondary and farm-related agricultural uses that arc complementary and supportive to a farm operation may be permissible by site specific rezoning. Complementary and aA_gricultural-related uses that are complementary and supportive of include home businesses, such as equipment repair, woodworking, crafts and welding, and farm related businesses such as value added processing and packing operations of agricultural products, roadside • produce stands selling products from the farming operation, farm vacations as part of a farming operation, artel such as cottage wineries, riding schools and horse shows are also permissible processing produce from local farming operations.
