Brooks, Manager, Policy & Geomatics, provided background information on the City initiated zoning by-law application for maximum building heights. He noted that through public consultation, concerns were brought forward with respect to infill housing, as currently there are no height restrictions in place, resulting in some new builds being out of character in the existing areas. He noted there was a need to fill the gap by bringing forward this amendment as an interim measure, and stated that through the consultations it was determined that a 9 metre limit was appropriate. Members questioned whether this amendment would provide a level of control when reviewing permit applications. They also questioned how a determination is made on what is acceptable with minor variance applications. Llewellyn Pereira, 709 Victory Drive, Pickering, appeared before the Committee questioning the timeframes for the study as well as community consultations. He also questioned whether By-law 2511 included any limitations on setbacks, as shadowing was a main concern, and also inquired about enforcement.
