David Ryan, aro` rAz Lisa Harker;,Deputy Clerk" Exhibit "A" to By-law Recommended Amendment 27. to the City of Pickering Official Plan Recommended Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 1 Purpose: The purpose of this Amendment is to add new policies to, and change existing policies and schedules in the Pickering Official Plan with regard to the natural environment and countryside areas to bring the Plan into conformity with the various Federal, Provincial, Regional, Conservation Authority, and other policy initiatives, including, but not limited to the Greenbelt Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and the Durham Regional Official Plan. Other policy changes include updated mapping to reflect certain modifications to the road network, including the identification of Highway 407, resolving various Deferrals, 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 approval of the Official Plan in 1997, a significant number of new initiatives have been undertaken by the Federal Government, 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. • Recommended Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 2 Amendment: The Pickering Official Plan, Edition 6, February 2010, is hereby amended by: 1.

The dynamic beach hazard limit consists of flooding eacazar conssts o the n 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.

While some significant resources may already be identified and inventoried, the significance of others can only be determined after evaluation. Significant Valleylands means a natural area that occurs in a valley or other landform depression that has water flowing through or standing for some period of the year, which is ecologically important in terms of features, functions, representation or amount, and contribute to the quality and diversity of the natural heritage system. Significant Wildlife Habitat means areas where plants, animals and other organisms live, and find adequate amounts of food, water, shelter and space needed to sustain their populations, which are ecologically important in terms of their features, functions, representation or amount, and contribute to the quality and diversity of the natural heritage system. Specific wildlife habitats of concern may include areas where species concentrate at a vulnerable point in their annual or life cycle; and areas which are important to migratory or non-migratory species. Significant Woodlands (off the Oak Ridges Moraine)means an area which is ecologically important in terms of features such as species composition, age of trees and stand history; functionally important due to its contribution to the broader landscape because of its location, size, or due to site quality, species composition, or past management history. In the Oak Ridges Moraine, significant woodlands are further defined by the Province in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the associated technical guidelines. 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.

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. Wetlands means lands that are seasonally or permanently covered by shallow water, as well as lands where the water table is close to or at the surface. In either case the presence of abundant water has caused the formation of hydric soils and has favoured the dominance of either hydrophytic plants or water tolerant plants. The four major types of wetlands are swamps, marshes, bogs and fens. Periodically soaked or wet lands being used for agricultural purposes which no longer exhibit wetland characteristics are not considered to be wetlands for the purposes of this definition." 74.

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; and (g) 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, Recommended Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 60 and where the feature is a provincially significant wetland, an area of natural and scientific interest • and/or significant portions of the habitat of. endangered, rare and threatened species,sor their related minimum vegetation protection zones, proposed refinements to the boundary or the extent of the feature require formal confirmation from the Province prior to any development." 99.
