(4993 Brock Road)
1. Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information regarding a Zoning By-law
Amendment application, submitted by R. & S. Cross, to construct a new building containing
two separate dwelling units. This report contains general information on the applicable
Official Plan and other related policies, and identifies matters raised to date.
This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to
understand the proposal. The Planning & Development Committee will hear public
delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification, and identify any planning
issues. This report is for information and no decision on this application is being made at

proposal.
2. Property Location and Description
The subject property is located on the east side of Brock Road, south of Central Street
within the Hamlet of Claremont (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The property has an
area of approximately 417.3 square metres with approximately 15.5 metres of frontage
along Brock Road.
The property currently contains a one and a half storey detached dwelling fronting Brock Road
and a two-storey coach house located in the rear yard. Both the detached dwelling and
coach house are used as separate dwelling units. The detached dwelling was constructed
in approximately 1890, and is not currently included on the Municipal Heritage Register.
The date of construction of the coach house is unknown.
The surrounding land uses include a two-storey mixed use building (the Claremont General Store)
consisting of commercial and residential uses immediately to the north, and detached
dwellings in the form of bungalows and two-storey dwellings to the east, west, and south
(see Aerial Map, Attachment #2).
Information Report No. 04-17
3. Applicant's Proposal
Page 2
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing detached dwelling and coach house,
and construct a new three-storey building containing two independent dwelling units. The
new building is proposed to be constructed on the existing foundation, with the exception of
a slight enlargement of the building footprint on the east and west sides of the building
(see Submitted Plan, Attachment #3).
The proposed building will have an overall height of approximately 10 metres from the
established grade to the peak of the roof. Each dwelling unit will have a separate entrance
from grade (see Submitted East and West Elevations, and Submitted North and South
Elevations, Attachments #4 and #5).
A total of four parking spaces (two for each unit) are proposed in support of the
development. Two parking spaces will be provided within a shared internal garage,
accessed from a new driveway, and two spaces will be provided in the rear yard, accessed
from the existing driveway. To accommodate the additional driveway, the applicant is
proposing to relocate an existing mature tree within the municipal boulevard or plant a new tree.
4. Policy Framework
4.1 Region of Durham Official Plan
The subject property is designated "Rural Settlements — Hamlets" within the Durham
Regional Official Plan (DROP). Lands designated Rural Settlements — Hamlets consist of
predominantly single-detached housing, community facilities, and employment and
commercial uses that meet the immediate needs of the residents of the hamlet and
surrounding rural area. The plan also states that lands within hamlets shall be developed
in a way that will complement existing building types.
The applicant's proposal conforms to the policies and provisions of the DROP.
4.2 Pickering Official Plan
The subject property is designated "Rural Settlements — Oak Ridges Moraine Rural Hamlets"
within the Hamlet of Claremont. This designation recognizes settlements located on the
Oak Ridges Moraine with historic roots as social and service centres for the surrounding
area, and provides for a variety of uses including residential, employment, and commercial.
The policies for the Hamlet of Claremont further designate this property as "Hamlet Commercial"
This designation provides for a variety of permissible uses including retail, office, business,
personal service, employment, residential, and home occupations. The Claremont policies
encourage business uses to locate in the hamlet commercial area surrounding Central Street
and Brock Road and also encourage a wider variety of housing forms within the Hamlet,
particularly to meet the needs of young people and senior citizens.
The proposed development complies with the policy requirements of the Official Plan.

5.1
Zoning By-law 3037
Page 3
The subject property is currently zoned "ORM-C2" — Oak Ridges Moraine General
Commercial Zone, within Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by By-law 6640/06. The
"ORM-C2" Zone restricts the uses of the subject lands to: an automobile service station;
bake shop; business office; clinic; day nursery; dry cleaning station; financial institution;
hotel; parking station; personal service shop; place of amusement; professional office;

The applicant has requested that the subject property be rezoned to an appropriate
residential zone category in order to permit finro separate dwelling units, when the by-law
only permits a dwelling unit accessory to a commercial use.
