1. Roger Anderson
Re: Annual Address
(V)
Carried
Roger Anderson, Regional Chair, Region of Durham, appeared before Council to
provide an outline of the key priorities and to highlight their progress over the past year.
He noted that the Region has increased accountability and transparency by introducing
a Code of Conduct, Integrity Commissioner, Ombudsman and a by-law which adjusts
Regional composition to better reflect the population. He also noted that improvements
have been made in technology which have enabled Regional information to be more
readily available, enabling the public to have better access to services. Mr. Anderson
also outlined how the Region is preparing for an aging population by developing an age
friendly strategy, with the first step of implementation being the formation of a council of
aging this Fall. He also stated that the creation of sustainable communities, including
infrastructure and facilities, is another key priority. He outlined key road expansions, as
well as the extension of Go rail to Bowmanville by 2024. He stated that in talks with
MetroJinx, it was clearly indicated that the rails must be electrified. Mr. Anderson also
stated that another key objective was to grow and diversify our economy, stating the
proposed Pickering Airport as the greatest economic development opportunity for
Durham Region.
A discussion period ensued with Members inquiring how the City could assist the
Region with advocacy at the Provincial level, as well as questioning to what extent
Provincial funding would assist municipalities with enforcement of medical marijuana
operations.
Concerns were noted with respect to the completion times for the roadwork construction
projects this year. It was noted that the City would be seeking support for a future
resolution to Good Roads and possibly the Association of Municipalites of Ontario to
collectively bring the industry back into line with the realities of the impacts on
municipalities during roadwork construction.

CAO 03-17 October 10, 2017
Subject: Bid for Amazon — Investment Attraction and Job Creation Page 2
Executive Summary: On September 7, 2017, Amazon issued a Request for Proposal (RFP)
to metropolitan areas and municipalities across North America for a competitive site selection
process for its second North American Headquarters (HQ2). The HQ2 will be suited to
accommodate approximately 50,000 new full-time jobs, and construction costs are expected to
exceed $5 billion (US).
The Pickering Innovation Corridor lies within the Seaton employment lands, which are designated
for prestige employment uses. As reported earlier this year, staff are actively pursuing the
relocation of up to seven multinational companies to the Innovation Corridor, which could result in
the creation of up to 3,000 jobs. Such projects will generate additional taxation revenues for the
City and the Region. Through discussions with representatives of the businesses interested in
relocating to the Innovation Corridor, City staff have been questioned on the timing of when a
decision will be made on the construction of the Federal airport in Pickering. Businesses
interested in relocating and/or expanding to the Innovation Corridor have stated that a decision by
the Federal Government to move forward with an airport in Pickering would significantly expedite
their decision making process, and would make the Pickering Innovation Corridor an ideal location
for their respective businesses. The lack of a decision has an impact on these lands and the ability
of Pickering to create essential jobs and reduce the impact on the residential tax base.
Infrastructure Ontario officials have advised City staff that the Seaton employment lands will be
included amongst other sites, as part of the GTA metropolitan area proposal to Amazon. The City
will be working with the Region of Durham to provide all of the necessary information for
Amazon's HQ2 proposal, which will be submitted in conjunction with Toronto Global.
In an effort to accommodate the various interested parties and to have industry seriously consider
the Pickering Innovation Corridor, VIA Rail Canada and Metrolinx need to begin an EA process
that will help identify and plan for a high frequency rail service on the CN Havelock rail corridor.
Further, a decision by the Federal Government regarding the development of an airport in
Pickering would greatly enhance interest from large job creating prospects like Amazon and other
major multinational employers.
In closing, in relation to the Amazon RFP criteria, the Pickering Innovation Corridor is strategically
located to meet and exceed all of the requirements: namely a metropolitan area that exceeds 1
million in population; a stable and business -friendly environment; an urban or suburban location
with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent, and proximity to major highways,
transit and an international airport. The Pickering Innovation Corridor is less than 45 minutes to
Toronto Pearson and immediately adjacent to a future proposed airport site.
Financial Implications: Amazon's HQ2 project will be a highly competitive contest among
Canadian and American cities. Amazon expects economic incentives to help offset the initial
capital outlay and ongoing operational costs. Recommendation No. 3 asks the Federal and
Provincial Governments to provide a wide range of financial incentives from land, corporate tax
reductions and educational property tax exemption.
29
CAO 03-17 October 10, 2017
Subject: Bid for Amazon — Investment Attraction and Job Creation Page 3
HQ2 will eventually house 50,000 employees with an average salary of more than $100,000
(Amazon statistic). Using the 2017 Federal and Provincial personal income tax rates, and based
on 50,000 employees earning $100,000 per year, the Federal Government would collect
approximately $799.6 million in personal income tax revenues and the Provincial Government
would collect $436.5 million per year. Both the City and the Region of Durham do not receive any
funding from income tax revenues. For industrial and commercial properties, the educational
property taxes are the largest component and the Province can offset the educational property tax
loss from the corporate and personal income tax revenues associated with this project.
From a municipal perspective, the local economy would benefit from a substantial level of
economic stimulus. After adjusting for Federal and Provincial income taxes and mandatory payroll
deductions such as CPP and El, the net take home pay would be approximately $3.4 billion per
year for the 50,000 employees and these "dollars" would be available to "shock and jolt" the local
economy.
Discussion: As part of the City's ongoing economic development program, and to
give high priority to investment attraction and job creation, City and Region staff are actively
pursuing Amazon's HQ2 for the Pickering Innovation Corridor. An online retail and technology
leader, Amazon currently employs approximately 380,000 employees in multiple facilities across
the globe. Amazon is seeking bids from metropolitan areas and municipalities across North
America for a suitable location for their HQ2, and is planning on making over $5 billion in capital
expenditures and creating up to 50,000 new jobs.
Based on the criteria Amazon provided in their HQ2 RFP, some key requirements are:
a) a metropolitan area that exceeds 1 million in population;
b) a stable and business -friendly environment;
c) an urban or suburban location with the potential to attract and retain strong technical
talent, and;
d) proximity to major highways, transit and an international airport (within 45 minutes).
With its proximity to downtown Toronto and a talent pool of over 3 million individuals across the
GTA, Pickering is well positioned to be considered as a suitable location.
The Seaton employment lands are designated for prestige employment uses, and consist of
approximately 800 acres owned by Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario, as Represented by
the Minister of Infrastructure (the "Province"),
Since April of 2016, the City's Economic Development Office has received significant expressions
of interest from several major multinational companies regarding the opportunity to relocate and/or
expand their business operations to the Innovation Corridor. It is important to note that the City
has received some of these unsolicited enquiries for the Innovation Corridor due to its proximity to
the Federal Pickering Lands site.
30
CAO 03-17 October 10, 2017
Subject: Bid for Amazon — Investment Attraction and Job Creation Page 4
In the next five to ten years, the City's ability to attract investment and well -paying jobs is directly
linked to the proposed high frequency rail service on the CN Havelock rail corridor and to the
development of the Pickering airport. It is also important to note that both a high frequency rail
corridor and an airport will support the needs of industry in the GTA and will create jobs, both
directly and indirectly.
Subject to the results identified in the Aviation Sector Analysis, the City's Economic Development
Office is recommending that Pickering City Council support the development of an airport in
Pickering to enable significant economic growth. An airport in Pickering could become a crucial
economic driver, attracting multinational businesses to not only Pickering, but across the GTA and
Durham Region.
Today, the Federal Pickering Lands have the added advantages of municipal servicing, a 400
Series Highway with provisions for a transit way at its doorstep, and the economic development
potential of the adjacent Innovation Corridor. City Council has the opportunity to support a unique
development that aligns the priorities of all levels of governments, and endorses a vision for
economic prosperity and job creation.
A recent study released by Toronto Pearson International Airport states that the Pearson airport
itself has created over 49,000 jobs and currently facilitates well over 332,000 spin off jobs in the
Province. Pearson airport has played a significant role in assisting its host municipality to attract
major multinational employers that have created thousands of jobs for the local economy. In
addition, the Pearson airport and surrounding commercial and industrial properties provide the
host municipality with a strong property tax base and/or revenues. It is also important to note that
Toronto Pearson is the second largest employment zone in Canada, after downtown Toronto. An
airport in Pickering could be an economic catalyst for attracting investment to the City, and
providing the residents of Pickering and Durham Region with an opportunity to work close to
home.
Multinational businesses look for proximity to airports as one of the key factors in determining a
suitable location for relocating and/or expanding their businesses. Amazon has become a global
leader in efficient and inexpensive logistical movements, allowing them to grow and operate on an
international scale. Council support for an airport in Pickering, subject to the results of the Aviation
Sector Study would significantly improve the City's long term financial sustainability (property
taxes), and would enable the City to attract multinational businesses and high value jobs.
From a property tax revenue perspective, it is advantageous for the City and Durham Region that
an airport be developed. As Table One indicates, there is a substantial difference in property tax
yield for the two municipal levels of government when comparing the assessment value of the
farmland in the context of "productive use." Under this scenario, the assessment value for the
commercial and industrial was based on a building occupying one acre of land. The analysis
below excludes the additional dollars both municipalities would receive from development
charges.

Subject: Bid for Amazon — Investment Attraction and Job Creation Page 5
At the City level, development charges funds a wide range of services such as fire, library, parks
and recreational facilities (seniors centre and gym). At the Regional level, development charges
are collected for important services such as police, homes for the aged, transit, roads, sewer and
water. Educational development charges are also collected for the construction of a commercial
and or industrial building and these funds are used to build school facilities.

Many municipalities strive to have a favourable ratio between residential and non-residential
development as it applies to the property tax base. Non-residential development includes both the
commercial and industrial property tax classes. For every dollar paid at the residential property tax
class, the property assessed as farmland pays twenty cents, the commercial taxpayer is billed
$1.45, and the industrial taxpayer is charged $2.25. Pickering's ratio between residential and non-
residential is heavily weighted in the residential property tax class (77.3%) and the long-term goal
of Council is to shift the ratio towards the non-residential development that is beneficial to the
residential and farm taxpayers. Either project Amazon HQ2 or the Pickering Airport will move the
ratio towards non-residential development. Due to their large economic footprint, these two
projects could shift or increase the non-residential share by approximately 2 to 7 percent.
As the above table indicates, even a small change in the use of the land from farmland to either
commercial and or industrial would generate substantial property tax revenues for both municipal
levels of government.
University of California, Professor of Economics Dr. Enrico Moretti states that for "each new high-
tech job in a city, five additional jobs are created outside of the high-tech sector." These additional
jobs include both skilled and unskilled occupations. Most sectors have a multiplier effect, but
economist Dr. Moretti says "that the innovation sector has the largest multiplier of all: about three
32
CAO 03-17
October 10, 2017
Subject: Bid for Amazon — Investment Attraction and Job Creation Page 6
times larger than that of manufacturing." The above analysis as it relates to Federal and
Provincial income tax revenues and the impact on the local economy excludes innovation job
multiplier effect.
Transit connectivity by rail and air are two significant factors businesses consider when
researching, considering and selecting a suitable location for their operations. The City of
Pickering has before it a unique opportunity to secure its long-term prosperity by supporting a high
speed rail corridor and an airport.

File: Roadded.578
September 20, 2017
Block 78, Plan 40M-2254 is a reserve located at the southerly limit of Mahogany Court, Plan
40M-2254. It was intended that Block 78, Plan 40M-2254 remain in place until such time as the
adjacent lands were developed.
As the plan of subdivision relating to the adjacent lands has now been registered (Plan 40M-2597)
and the works within Plan 40M-2597 have commenced, it is appropriate to establish Block 78,
Plan 40M-2254 as public highway.
Further, Block 6, Plan 40M-2597 is a reserve that runs across the frontage of the newly created lot
(Lot 1, 40M-2597) that was acquired by the City through the registration of Plan 40M-2597 in order
to ensure the orderly development of the adjacent lands.
As the appropriate controls are in place for the development of the newly created lot, Block 6, Plan
40M-2597 must also be established as public highway in order to provide legal access to the new
owners of Lot 1, Plan 40M-2597.
It should be noted while staff is seeking enactment of the attached draft by-law at this time, it will
not be registered against Block 6, Plan 40M-2597 until the lands adjacent to it have been
constructed to standards sufficient to permit public access.
Attached is a location map and a draft by-law for the consideration of City Council at its meeting
scheduled for October 10, 2017.

Subject: Shadow Place Extension
- Transfer of Block 29, Plan 40M-2086 to Pickering Shores Development Inc.
File: L-4610-007-17
September 27, 2017
The Subdivision Agreement for Plan 40M-2086 provided for the construction of Shadow Place and
a turning circle at the southerly limit of the Plan. The parcel of land comprising the turning circle
(Block 29 as shown on the location map attached) was conveyed to the City for turning circle
purposes, to be held until such time as Shadow Place was extended southerly. Once Shadow
Place was extended, the turning circle was to be removed and the parcel of land comprising it
reconveyed to the adjacent owner (Block 30, 40M-2086 — Pickering Shores Development Inc.).
Pursuant to a Subdivision Agreement with E. Ovide Holdings (Altona) Inc. dated June 29, 2015 for
Plan 40M-2557, Shadow Place has now been extended southerly and the turning circle removed.
Accordingly, it is now appropriate to deem Block 29, 40M-2086 surplus to the needs of the City
and reconvey the parcel of land to the adjacent owner as required by the Subdivision Agreement
for Plan 40M-2086.
Attached is a draft by-law giving authority to formally deem surplus the turning circle block and to
reconvey it to the abutting owner.
The attached draft by-law is for the consideration of City Council at its meeting scheduled for
October 10, 2017.
