Report PLN 17-17;

Amendment 27, as identified on Attachments #1 to #4 to Report PLN 17-17, to allow for
further discussion between the landowner, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry,

Pickering, and
4. That a copy of Report PLN 17-17 and Council's Resolution be forwarded to Ministry of

Executive Summary: After City Council's adoption of Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official
Plan, (the Environment and Countryside part of our Pickering Official Plan Review) and the related
Informational Revision 22 to the Plan, the Amendment was forwarded to the Region of Durham for
approval.
Following the Region's review of Amendment 27, which included consultation with public
agencies, adjacent municipalities, Regional Departments, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and the
public, the Region of Durham is proposing certain modifications to Amendment 27, as set out in
Appendix I to this Report. As a result of the proposed modifications to Amendment 27, a number
of modifications are also being proposed to Informational Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan
as set out in Appendix II to this Report.
Report PLN 17-17 November 6, 2017
Subject: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 15-004/P Page 2
Staff concurs with the Region's proposed modifications as they are primarily minor and technical
in nature. However, staff further requests that the Region defer the identification of a portion of
the "significant wetlands" and a portion of the "significant woodlot" which affect the Durham Live
lands located west of Church Street and north of Bayly Street, on Schedules I, IIIA, II1B and II1C to
Amendment 27 (see Attachments #1 to #4 to this Report). The purpose of the deferral is to allow
for further discussion between the landowner, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Region of Durham, and the City of Pickering.
Staff recommend that Council concur with the proposed modifications to Amendment 27, as set
out in Appendix!, approve the corresponding modifications to Informational Revision 22 as set out
in Appendix 11, and request the Region to defer a decision on parts of Schedules I, IIIA, IIIB and
IIIC as noted above and shown on Attachments #1 to #4 of this Report.
1. Background
The review of the Pickering Official Plan is being undertaken through a series of
amendments addressing specific topics and geographic areas. The "Environment and
Countryside" was identified as one of the topics to be addressed through the Official Plan
Review.
In 2015, the City initiated Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan. The Amendment
proposed changes to existing policies and schedules, and added new policies to the
Pickering Official Plan with regard to the natural environment and countryside areas.
On November 21, 2016, Council considered the recommendations of Report PLN 17-16
and passed By-law 7524/16 to adopt Amendment 27, and also adopted Informational
Revision 22 to the Pickering Official Plan.
Subsequently, Amendment 27 was forwarded to the Region of Durham for approval.
Following further public notification of Amendment 27, as prescribed by the Planning Act,
and consultation with the Province, public agencies, adjacent municipalities and Regional
Departments, the Region of Durham is proposing certain modifications to Amendment 27
and consequential changes to informational Revision 22, as set out in Appendices I and 11.
2. Discussion
2.1 The Proposed Modifications are Acceptable
The majority of modifications proposed have been requested by Pickering staff (as reflected
in column 4 of the modification table), while others are minor technical or grammatical
modifications that do not alter the spirit or intent of the amendment.
Staff concur with the proposed modifications to both the Amendment, and the resulting
modifications necessary to the Informational Revision, but have identified another matter
that the Region should address in its decision, as discussed in paragraphs 2.2 below.
Report PLN 17-17 November 6, 2017
Subject: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 15-004/P Page 3
2.2 Features are mapped on the Durham Live lands that no longer exist
During its review, the Region of Durham received a submission from Melymuk Consulting, on
behalf of the owners of the Durham Live lands at the northwest corner of Church and Bayly
Streets. The consultant requested that Amendment 27 be modified to remove a portion of
significant wetlands and a portion of significant woodlands on his client's lands, on
Schedule I: Land Use Structure (Sheet 1), Schedule 11IA — Resource Management: The
Natural Heritage System, Schedule IIIB — Resource Management: Key Natural Heritage
Features, and Schedule IIIC — Resource Management: Hydrologically Sensitive Features.
The features being disputed are a narrow arm of "significant wetlands" stretching from
south to north which no longer exist, and "significant woodlands" associated with a hedge
row stretching from east to west (see Attachments #1 to #4).
However, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) pointed out that these
lands were part of wetland dominated by Red -osier Dogwood and Reed Canary Grass, that
was eliminated without the necessary approvals from the Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority (TRCA). TRCA, has confirmed its support of MNRF's continued identification and
protection of this piece of wetland as part of the wetland complex on the subject lands, but
also indicated, willingness to participate in any further discussions between the Region, City
and the landowners, in consultation with MNRF, regarding the wetland and the significant
woodland.
In view of the above response from MNRF and TRCA, staff recommend that this matter be
deferred pending further discussions between the Region, the City, the landowners, TRCA
and MNRF.
2.3 Geranium Corporation is pursuing another approach to its applications in the Hamlet
of Claremont
The Region of Durham proposes various modifications to Amendment 27 that would
remove a policy and designation enabling the consideration of the minor expansion of the
Hamlet of Claremont through the completion of a Provincial or municipally led rural study
(see proposed modifications numbers 3, 23, 24, 26, 41, and 61 in Appendix Ito this
Report). The Region based their position on the fact that the new Provincial Plans that
came into effect on July 1, 2017, no longer permit the minor expansion of hamlets within
the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP).
Staff understands that Geranium Corporation, which has an interest in lands in the
northeast quadrant of Claremont, is now seeking approval of development applications
submitted in 1990 (by the then landowner Toko Investments) through the "Clergy" principle.
The "Clergy" principle refers to an Ontario Municipal Board ruling that allows applications to
be considered under the planning policy framework that was in place at the time of
submission (Clergy Properties Ltd. vs the City of Mississauga, 1996).
In light of Geranium's approach, staff concurs with the Region's proposed modifications to
remove the Claremont Rural Study Area policy and designation in Amendment 27.

3. Next Steps
Following consideration of Pickering's comments, the Region will issue a notice of decision
on Amendment 27. There is a 20 day appeal period, after which, if there are no appeals,
the decision becomes final.
