Discussion: Solstice Sport Inc. is seeking to enter into a revised licence agreement with the City of Pickering to operate beach volleyball programs on the five outdoor volleyball courts located in Diana, Princess of Wales Park. The existing licence agreement is for a 5 year term beginning May 1, 2013 and ending April 30, 2018 (5 months per term for a total of 25 months). This request is being made 1 year in advance of the agreementtermination date because Solstice Sports Inc. wishes to make upgrades to the beach volleyball courts and would like a 5 year commitment with the City before making this investment. The beach volleyball courts at Diana Park meet the demand for beach volleyball within the City of Pickering. Solstice Sports Inc. offers residents an opportunity to participate in organized leagues, tournaments, clinics and camps in a manner that is satisfactory to the City of Pickering. The beach volleyball programs and leagues offered by Solstice Sports Inc. is complimentary to the City's summer sports program schedule. They afford our residents with the opportunity to play volleyball in an outdoor setting (beyond the existing fall, winter and spring registered indoor volleyball programs provided by the Community Services Department). The Director, Culture & Recreation recommends that the revised licence agreement set out in attachment 1 be initiated for a 5 year term beginning May 1, 2017 and ending September 30, 2021.

Staff recommend that Council enact the City Centre Zoning By-law and approve the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines as set out in Appendix I and Appendix II respectively to this report. Financial Implications: No direct cost to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed amendment. 1. Background On January 9, 2017, Planning & Development Committee endorsed the January draft City Centre Zoning By-law and authorized staff to finalize and forward the recommended Zoning By-law to Council for enactment at such time as the Krosno Creek Natural Heritage System Zone boundary has been agreed to by the City, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the Downtown South Pickering Landowners Group. The Planning & Development Committee also endorsed the January draft City Centre Urban Design Guidelines and recommended that the final Guidelines be brought forward for approval with the recommended Zoning By-law. At the January 9, 2017 Planning & Development Committee meeting, and following this meeting, the City received additional comments on the City Centre Zoning By-law and the accompanying Urban Design Guidelines. City Development staff have held meetings with various landowners to discuss the zoning by-law and the contents of verbal and/or written comments received. Comments received mostly related to administrative, technical and site-specific matters. City staff have met with the following landowners: • Unique Holding and 147555 Ontario Limited, represented by Weston Consulting (1482 Bayly Street) • BMC Bayly Park Inc., represented by Norstar/Concordian Group of Companies (1400, 1410 and 1420 Bayly Street) • OPB Realty (20Vic Management Inc.), represented by JKO Planning Services (Pickering Town Centre-1355 Kingston Road) • Loblaw Properties Limited (Loblaw) and Choice Properties REIT, represented by Zelinka Priamo Ltd. (1792 Liverpool Road) • KS Brookdale Centre/KingSett Capital, represented by Aird & Berlis LLP (on the west side of Liverpool Road immediately north of Highway 401 ), and • Daniels LR Corporation, represented by The Biglieri Group (1505 Kingston Road) A summary of the new comments received and staff's response to each comment is contained in Appendix Ill to Report PLN 07-17. Report PLN 07-17 April 11, 2017 Subject: City Initiated Zoning By-law and Urban Design Guidelines Page 3 2. Toronto and Region Conservation Authority The Downtown South Pickering Landowners Group (landowners adjacent to the Krosno Creek) has been working with TRCA staff to address natural heritage matters associated with the Krosno Creek. TRCA has advised that they are satisfied with the development limits as proposed by the Downtown South Pickering Landowners Group subject to the landowners satisfying the following conditions for lifting the "H"-Holding Symbol: • the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study and a detailed engineering design and restoration plan for the rehabilitation of the Krosno Creek valley corridor • the execution of an Agreement to ensure that the restored and rehabilitated Krosno Creek valley corridor, including lands within 6 metres from the long-term stable top of bank, will be conveyed into public ownership upon completion of the works, to the satisfaction of the City of Pickering The zoning schedules have been revised to reflect the Krosno Creek Natural Heritage System Zone boundary as agreed to by TRCA and the Downtown South Pickering Landowners Group, and the text for the H6 Holding Provisions has been revised in accordance with TRCA's recommended conditions. The Downtown South Pickering Landowners Group has advised City Development staff that they concur with TRCA's recommendations. TRCA has also reviewed the endorsed City Centre Zoning By-law and has provided additional comments for the City's consideration. TRCA has recommended that the "kiosks" and "stormwater management facilities" should not be included as permitted uses in the Natural Heritage System (NHS) Zone. Given the limited buffer width along Pine and Krosno Creeks, infrastructure and structures within the NHS Zone should be minimized. City Development staff concur with TRCA's recommendation and has removed th.e requested uses from the NHS Zone category. The endorsed City Centre Zoning By-law requires above-grade buildings and structures to be set back a minimum of 4 metres from a NHS Zone boundary, but permits below-grade structures to be located immediately adjacent to th.e publicly-owned NHS Zone boundary. TRCA has indicated that they strongly recommend that below-grade structures be subject to the 4 metres setback requirements. The purpose of the 4 metres setback is to provide an area between the NHS zone boundary and the proposed building/structure to accommodate additional landscaping to enhance the NHS feature and to provide a maintenance area for above and below grade buildings and structures. TRCA has indicated that exempting below grade structures from the setback requirement will result in excavation of publicly owned hazard lands (which includes the long term stable top of bank plus 6 metres erosion access allowance) in order to undertake future maintenance of underground structures. This would possibly disturb public trails and vegetation, and may require encroachment or limiting distance agreements over the public lands. 39 40 Report PLN 07-17 April11, 2017 Subject: City Initiated Zoning By-law and Urban Design Guidelines Page 4 City Development staff recognize the importance of balancing the protection and enhancement of the natural features while providing for flexibility to facilitate a more urban and dense form of development that is anticipated within the City Centre .. This matter has been reviewed with the Downtown South Pickering Landowners. Based on their preliminary concept plans, it appears that there will be limited encroachment of below-grade structures within the 4 metre setback. Staff will continue to work with the landowners adjacent to the Pine and Krosno Creeks to minimize the encroachment of below grade structures into the buffer setback, require landowners to prepare plans demonstrating how below grade structures will be maintained in the future without disturbing vegetation or public trails, and require landowners to enter into any necessary encroachment or limiting distance agreements. 3. Pickering Town Centre The endorsed City Centre Zoning By-law identified the south part of the Pickering Town Centre (PTC) lands as subject to an "H" Holding Provision. The purpose for the "H" Holding Provision is to maintain the function of this part of the site as a stormwater retention area. The "H" -Holding Symbol would be removed once PTC has addressed following conditions: • the preparation of a comprehensive functional servicing and stormwater management plan to address stormwater and replacement flood storage on the lands, has been completed to the satisfaction of the City of Pickering • the execution and registration of an Agreement to ensure that any rede'l(elopment of the southerly parking lot or any part thereof, conforms to the comprehensive functional servicing and stormwater management plan Over the past few months, staff has had several discussions with 20Vic Management Inc. (20Vic), property managers of PTC, and their engineering consultants regarding an alternative approach that would protect the stormwater function, and negate the need for the holding provision. At this time, staff and 20Vic have not finalized a workable alternative approach that would maintain and protect the required storage volume on the PTC lands. 20Vic has submitted a letter, dated April 3, 2017, strongly objecting to the proposed "H"-Holding Symbol on the south part of the PTC lands. It is their opinion that the "H" -Holding Symbol would have the effect of sterilizing a significant portion of their lands by limiting their ability to facilitate any proposed redevelopment plan until such time as the City is prepared to lift the "H" -Holding Symbol. Staff will continue to work with 20Vic to achieve a satisfactory solution. Once an alternative approach has been agreed upon between staff and 20Vic, and any required agreements have been executed by 20Vic for the protection the stormwater retention area, staff will bring forward a by-law removing the "H" -Holding Symbol the PTC lands.

Changes have been made to the City Centre Zoning By-law and Urban Design Guidelines to reflect staff responses to comments received In response to comments received from the landowners and TRCA, a number of administrative, technical and site-specific changes have been made to the City Centre Zoning and Urban Design Guidelines. The following key changes have been made to the Zoning By-law and Design Guidelines: • the final Natural Heritage System Zone Boundary for the Krosno Creek has been revised in accordance with TRCA's recommendation • Holding Provision H6 has been revised as requested by TRCA • the setback requirement to a Natural Heritage System Zone has been revised to exempt below grade structures from the 4.0 metre minimum setback from a Natural Heritage System Zone boundary • deleted "Kiosk" and "Stormwater Management Facilities" from the list of permitted uses within the NHS zone category • added "Park" as a permitted use within the NHS zone category provided that no buildings and structures associated with a park use are located within the NHS zone category - • provisions for "Main Wall Stepback for all Buildings Fronting a Street Line with a right-of-way width equal to and less than 18.0 metres" have been deleted • patio provisions have been revised to provide greater flexibility regarding their location, but prohibiting patios in any yard abutting an existing residential zones • additional clarification has been provided regarding the location of enclosed loading spaces • site-specific exception for the property at the southeast corner of Kingston Road and Valley Farm Road, owned by the Daniel's Corporation, to facilitate the development of a 23-storey seniors residence with approximately 415 units and 102, 3-storey stacked dwellings has been included in the zoning by-law • minimum number of bicycle parking space requirements for stacked dwelling, long-term care facility and retirement home have been added • provisions related to accessory dwelling units have been revised to specifically permit accessory dwelling units in detached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling and street townhouses, as well as require a minimum of three parking spaces to be provided on the property where the accessory dwelling unit is located • a number of technical changes have been made to several site-specific exceptions and holding provisions based on discussions with the various landowners 41 Recommended City Centre Zoning By-law Dated April 3, 2017 Appendix No. I to Report No. PlN 07-17 43 April 3, 2017 The Corporation of the City of Pickering Zoning By-law 7553/17 Pickering City Centre Zoning By-law 44 Table of Contents How to Read and Use This By-law ............. -........................................................................... 1 1.0 Administration ...................................................................................................... : ...... 3 1.1 Title ...................... : ............................................ .-... : ................................. : ........... 3 1.2 Application·····························································'·············································· 3 1.3 Purpose ........ : ..................................................................................................... 3 1.4 Repeal of former By-laws ................................................................................... 3 1.5 Effective Date ............................................................... ~··································· .. 3 1.6 Conformity and Compliance ............................................................................... 3 1.7 Administration ................................................................................. , ................... 4 1.8 Penal.ties ....................................................................................................... ,. ...... 4 1.9 Severability ............................ ;

This introduction explains how to read and use this Zoning By-law and is solely for the purposes of assisting the reader. Readers unfamiliar with zoning by-laws are encouraged to read this introduction. All properties within the boundaries of this Zoning By-law have a zone associated with them as shown on the schedules in Section 8. Each zone is subject to requirements and restrictions. Section 1 of the Zoning By-law sets out the administration matters including the establishment and interpretation of zoning boundaries. Section 2 sets out a number of general regulations, which apply to developm~nt in all zones. These general provisions address such matters as public uses, permitted encroachments, legal non-conforming uses, accessory dwelling units, home-based business, accessory buildings and structures, live work dwellings, patios and temporary sales offices among others. Section 3 contains parking regulations that apply to development in all zones. Section 4 sets out the permitted uses and zone regulations for each zone in a table format. A wide range of uses is permitted in each of the zones. It is the intent of this By-law to provide a broad range of uses throughout the City Centre lands. Section 5 sets out the defined terms within the Zoning By-law. Section 6 includes exceptions to the Zoning By-law for a number of existing developments within the City Centre lands. Section 7 establishes a series of Holding provisions which clearly outline the necessary studies, financial commitments and implementation steps that need to be undertaken before development can proceed. In some cases, these apply across the City Centre and in other cases to specific sites. Section 8 contains the schedules, which form part of the Zoning By-law. The schedules include a graphical illustration of the boundaries of the City Centre Zoning By-law lands, land use categories and zoning provisions. The schedules also illustrate lands with site specific exceptions to the Zoning By-law and lands subject to specific holding provisions.

These spaces will be green, comfortable and beautiful, enhancing the urban fabric, the natural environment, and experience of place. A place to gather: Pickering City Centre will be a destination for people of Pickering to gather, celebrate and play: to shop, be active, experience culture, dine, and attend outdoor events and festivals. The variety and quality of these options will help define the City Centre as Pickering's heart and soul. A place to work: The City Centre will be the epicentre of employment in Pickering, hosting a range of jobs in a diversity of settings. A place to live: People of different ages and incomes will enjoy housing choices and a high quality of life. City Centre residents will be able to enjoy close proximity to transit, their place of work, and the services that Pickering City Centre has to offer. ... All in a compact and walkable environment." 2 City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Introduction-April 3, 2017 1.2 Guiding Principles The Vision Statement was the starting point for conceptualizing the long-term growth of the City Centre, as well as the basis for the following Guiding Principles. These Guiding Principles provide the foundation to direct new development and investment in the City Centre and inform the design guidelines in this document. • Reinforce the City Centre as the heart and soul of Pickering, through the continued location of services and cultural facilities, community expression and public art, and as the location for civic events. • Make the City Centre highly walkable, with new streets and pathways, a compact block pattern, traffic calming measures, and visually interesting streetscapes. • Encourage a mix of land uses to create vitality at all times of the day, by enhancing the range of activities, amenities and uses that will attract and serve all ages for all seasons. • Develop an exceptional public realm by creating a diverse network of open spaces for different types of activity, all within a five minute walking distance of every home and workplace. • Offer distinct living options, urban in format, and in close proximity to shopping, entertainment, culture and work. • Leverage transit investment by directing development to major transit stops and transfer points, and to transforming transit stops and transfer points into exceptional places. • Create bold entry-points to City Centre through design excellence in architecture, public art and public plazas at key gateway locations and areas of high visibility. • Demonstrate Pickering's commitment to sustainability through active transportation infrastructure, green design, pilot projects, and environmental education opportunities. • Make Pickering a great place to work, learn and shop through a diverse array of retail, office and work-at-home opportunities, business-related facilities, and amenities. • Position the City Centre to evolve over time by directing bolder, shorter term change to select locations, and ensuring new development respects existing communities. • Demonstrate Pickering's commitment to innovative design of a barrier-free and accessible City Centre. City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Introduction-April 3, 2017 3 119 1.6 How to use the Urban Design Guidelines The guidelines bridge the gap between the Official Plan policies and the City Centre Zoning By-law. The guidelines are intended to assist in the preparation of development proposals within the City Centre, and will be implemented through Pickering's review of applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision, Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Approval. Although the UDG expresses the City's design objectives, they do not preclude alternative options. As guidelines they offer flexibility in their application, provided that the overall intent of the UDG is being met. The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines document is multi-purpose and has been prepared for use by: • City Council: Council approved urban design guidelines help implement the City's Official Plan and articulate Council's design aspirations for redevelopment and intensification in the City Centre. • City Staff: will use the UDG in the design of City infrastructure projects and the review and approval of development applications in the City Centre. The City will also identify the key design priorities to development proponents during pre-consultation meetings. • Site Plan Advisory Committee: The UDG will be used by the Committee to review applications for Site Plan Approval within the City Centre. • Development Industry: The primary user of the UDG is the development industry, including developers and professional consultants. The guidelines are intended to provide understanding of the design objectives of the City and inform the design process. • The General Public: The UDG will be used to inform the general public on how the City, through the review of development applications, intends to achieve a high standard of urban design in the City Centre while maintaining the character of the neighbourhood.

City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Built Form -April 3, 2017 162 Mobility A vibrant City Centre is highly walkable, offering different opportunities to get to and around the City Centre for people living, working, and visiting. This section provides directions and guidelines to: balance conditions for all modes of transportation on existing streets; identify design directions for new streets as the City Centre redevelops over time; and create an integrated mobility network for pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders. Together these directions will assist the City in achieving a connected transportation system that is safe, comfortable, and intuitive, for all users. 3.1 Mobility Objectives-An Integrated Transportation System Pickering City Centre is the urban core and transit centre for Pickering and is identified as an Anchor Mobility Hub in Metrolinx's Regional Transportation Plan -the Big Move, and an Urban Growth Centre containing a Major Transit Station Area in the Province of Ontario's Growth Plan -Places to Grow. To this end, critical to the success of accommodating both residential growth and employment in the City Centre will be to plan for a transportation system that prioritizes active transportation and transit while accommodating other travel options. The Pickering City Centre transportation system includes an array of public and private infrastructure that will provide for a variety of modes. The transportation system will: • Provide a safe, convenient, and enjoyable environment for pedestrians and cyclists. • Support current and future transit services through building and site design, street typologies, and streetscape treatments. • Recognize the importance of Regional Roads as major carriers of local and regional vehicular traffic while ensuring their design responds to the City Centre context. • Provide additional travel options through the implementation of transportation demand management measures. • Incorporate design solutions for freight mobility that provide solutions for the delivery and movement of goods in the City Centre. • Offer a hierarchy of street types, with each type of street designed to serve its own mobility function and character objectives. 3.2 Pedestrians The City Centre is planned to be a compact, vital place where pedestrians should be able to walk between destinations in a comfortable, safe, and visually interesting environment. This section contains guidelines to develop a coordinated and continuous pedestrian network within the City Centre, illustrated in Figure 4. The proposed pedestrian network consists of: 3.2.1 Pedestrian Zone While all streets within the City Centre will be designed for the safety of pedestrians, certain streets will be designed with a primary focus on the pedestrian environment. 46 City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Mobility-April3, 2017 182 3.8 Motorists As population and employment growth occurs in the City Centre, an enhanced and expanded mobility network will be necessary to manage vehicular traffic, support a full range of transportation choices, and create a walkable and transit-supportive environment. The planned street network builds on the existing street grid and plans for the introduction of a finer grain of urban blocks that, over time, will improve connections and access to and within the City Centre. The urban street and block pattern will contribute to a more walkable environment and support compact, mixed-use forms of development. Figure 7 illustrates a street network that will support the movement of people and goods within and through the City Centre. 3.8.1 Streets The street network includes existing streets and new streets which are required for adjacent development to proceed ("new rights-of-way"). New private streets shall provide for public access. Guidelines a) The layout of arterials and collectors shall attempt to maximize connections by establishing a fine grain of streets and blocks capable of dispersing traffic and reducing traffic volumes on primary streets. b) A finer grain network of streets and blocks will support urban development and accommodate balanced movements through and to the City Centre. c) New cui-de-sacs shall not be permitted within the City Centre. d) Where possible, driveways to individual businesses along streets should be consolidated or access relocated to rear service lanes. 3.8.2 Elements of the Street Streets are comprised of four key elements: the Pedestrian Zone, Parking, Cycling Treatment, and Travel Lanes. The Pedestrian Zone consists of the area between the edge of the property and the curb, including: • Sidewalk: a clear, generously sized sidewalk ensures walking is pleasant, safe and enjoyable. • Landscaping: create a shaded, comfortable street. Tree and understory plantings must have adequate soil, sunlight and water conditions for long-term survival. The landscaping area also has street furniture such as benches and bike parking. 66 City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Mobility -April 3, 2017 3.9 Street Types In addition to carrying people and traffic, streets in Pickering City Centre must be understood as places themselves. This means that in addition to serving different functions, streets also will have a different character. Each street type's function and character informs how many traffic lanes they carry, width of sidewalks and plantings, design character, and the scale of buildings adjacent to them. The planned street network comprises of five street categories: • Major Streets • Pedestrian Streets • Local Streets • Private Streets • Special Streets The following table describes the general parameters for the pedestrian zone, landscaping, parking and cycling elements on a street. Major Street Pedestrian Local Streets Private Special Street Streets Streets Street Arterial Type A, Arterial Type C or Local Road Not Arterial Type C Designation B orC Collector Road designated or Local Road Pedestrian Zone Sidewalk Generally Generally Generally 1.5 Generally Generally 2.5 metres 2.5 metres to 2.0 metres 1.5 to 2.0 2.5 metres wide.

Travel Lanes 3.35 metres to 3.35 metres to 3.5 metres wide 3.5 metres 3.5 metres 3.5 metres wide 3.5 metres wide wide wide As the urban core of Pickering, the character of streets within Pickering City Centre will require special consideration in terms of signalized crossing frequency, speed limits, and design treatments. Each street type and corresponding cross-sections are described and illustrated in more detail in the following pages. As streets are realigned, extended, or undergo capital improvements, their design shall be guided by the mid-block cross-sections that follow. The mid-block cross-sections illustrated within these guidelines are conceptual and are to be detailed through future Environmental Assessment and other design studies, in accordance with recognized standards. If future cross-sections do not substantially comply with these figures, it must be demonstrated how the revised cross-sections can achieve the form, function and character described in this document. 70 City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Mobility-April 3, 2017 3.9.4 Private Streets and Laneways In addition to municipal rights-of-ways, private streets and laneways will serve an important function within the City Centre, providing access and connectivity between points of interest and activity. Private streets will include two vehicular travel lanes, sidewalks on both sides of the street, and landscape areas. In support of visitor parking and active at-grade street frontages, parking on one side of the street shall be encouraged. The design of private streets illustrated in Figure 7, shall be determined through the preparation of block development plans or site plans. Laneways will be pedestrian-accessible routes that will permit direct access and loading from the rear and sides of development. Laneways will include two vehicular travel lanes, a sidewalk on one side of the street, and will be detailed through the preparation of block development plans or site plans. 3.9.5 Special Streets • The Esplanade South • Pickering Parkway Special Streets serve a specific function such as transit movement or placemaking functions. These will require specialized cross-sections that function primarily for their place-specific function and character. Special Streets include the Esplanade South, a ceremonial street that may be closed to traffic for special events and Pickering Parkway, a street that will provide a gateway to higher order transit services. As select areas for sustainability demonstration, green infrastructure design such as previous pavements, bio-swales, and rain-water collection trenches should, where possible, be incorporated into the design and reconstruction of special streets.

Comments on Urban Design Guidelines (continued) Comments Building Setbacks and Separations Section 2.3.3.2 a) states "Building setbacks may vary slightly from adjacent properties subject to a limited variance in range to maintain a visually consistent street edge". In our submission, the word "slightly" is not sufficiently flexible to address the local context of all sites within the City Centre. Walkways Section 2.3.4 c) states: "Clearly demarcated pedestrian walkways shall be provided on the edge of, or through, parking lots in order to minimize vehicular pedestrian conflict. This can be attained through covered pedestrian arcades or bollards." For additional clarity as to the need for arcades or bollards, we suggest that "This can be attained ....

Comments on Urban Design Guidelines (continued) Comments Loading, Services and Utilities Section 2.3.6 b) states "Where loading areas are located to the side of a building, it should be screened from public view". We are requesting clarification that this applies to the view froni the street only as opposed to internally on site. Landscape Design Section 2.3.7 d) states "Landscape buffers or screening shall be designed and located to partially screen the view of surface parking lots, pedestrian entrances and primary building facades at street level." In the context of guidelines that encourage transparent windows and doors along the street, it is inconsistent to require screening of pedestrian entrances and primary building facades at street level. Landscape Design Section 2.3.7 j) states "Foundation planting shall be incorporated to soften the visual impact of continuous building mass along the street edge", which is inconsistent with the Building Setback and Separations guideline Section 2.3.3.2 c) that anticipates hard and soft landscaping between buildings and the front property line. The word "shall" is too strong for a guideline; words like "encouraged" are more appropriate.
