2. Property Location and Description
The subject lands are located north and south of Whitevale Road, west of Mulberry Lane
within the Wilson Meadows Neighbourhood, which is part of the Seaton Community (see
Location Map, Attachment #1). The lands covered by the approved Draft Plan of
Subdivision SP -2008-11(R) have a land area of approximately 54 hectares. A remnant
parcel located at 1415 Whitevale Road, which is proposed to be added to the plan of
subdivision, has an area of approximately 0.8 of a hectare.
Lands within the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision SP -2008-11(R) have been used for
field crops or are open space. There are no buildings or structures on the these lands.
The remnant parcel currently support a detached dwelling.
The surrounding lands are all owned by the Province and are designated Seaton Natural
Heritage System. Beyond the Seaton Natural Heritage lands are other draft plans of
subdivisions within the Seaton Community.
Information Report No. 04-18 Page 2
3. Applicant's Proposal
The original Plan of Subdivision SP -2009-11 was draft approved by the Ontario Municipal
Board (OMB) in December 2013. The related zoning that implements the subdivision, being
the Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14, was confirmed by the Province through an Order in
Council in March 2014.
Since these approvals, the landowner has commenced detailed design for the draft plan of
subdivision. This has resulted in engineering and urban design modifications to certain
roads and the lotting fabric of the approved draft plan of subdivision.
The majority of the draft plan of subdivision and zoning remains unchanged as the
revisions mostly affect the area in the central portion of the draft plan. The major change is
to convert the back-to-back townhouses to lane based townhouses along the east side of
the north -south spine to enhance the urban design for this area. This change will eliminate
the driveways on the east side of the spine collector road.
The other significant change is the incorporation of the remnant parcel on the south side of
Whitevale Road into the draft plan of subdivision. This land is proposed for 17 detached
dwellings and extensions of proposed roads. Including this parcel in the subdivision allows
for the completion of an integrated development for the neighbourhood.
The other change is a slight reduction of the stormwater management pond size so the
adjacent road and lots are extended south.
The overall lot yield and land uses are consistent with the approved draft plan (see
Submitted Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #2).
The rezoning application is to amend the zoning by-law for a remnant parcel of land and to
modify the zoning boundaries to reflect the change in unit type being proposed (see
Submitted Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision with Proposed Zoning, Attachment #3).
4. Policy Framework
4.1 Central Pickering Development Plan
The Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) sets out the principles and goals that
outline the general development vision for the overall Seaton Urban Area, including the
integration of new sustainable urban development while ensuring the protection,
maintenance and enhancement of the natural heritage system. The objectives and policies
of the CPDP are designed to achieve the vision of Seaton. The subject applications
conform to the intent of the CPDP.
Information Report No. 04-18 Page 3
4.2 Regional Official Plan
The Seaton Community falls under 'Special Policy Area A (Pickering)', in the Durham
Regional Official Plan. These lands shall be developed in accordance with the CPDP and
implementing Neighbourhood Plans. The design, structure and uses proposed in the
subject applications are consistent with those permitted in the CPDP and the
Neighbourhood Plans. The applications comply with the Durham Regional Official Plan.
4.3 Pickering Official Plan
The subject lands are within the Seaton Urban Area in the Pickering Official Plan. The
Official Plan contains policies governing various land use designations, such as Residential
Areas and Open Space Systems, both of which are located in the subject lands. The
Official Plan establishes various policies for such matters as density, intensity of land use
and sustainability. Official Plan Amendment 22, which brought the Official Plan into
conformity with the CPDP, further defines the land use designations as well as establishes
policies for such matters as the Seaton Natural Heritage System, cultural heritage,
sustainable development, servicing, and urban design. The applications comply with the
policies and provisions of the Pickering Official Plan.
4.4 Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14
Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14 implements the City's Official Plan Amendment 22, and the
CPDP.
A zoning by-law amendment is required to implement the proposed red -line revisions to the
approved draft plan of subdivision. The applicant is only proposing amendments to the
zoning schedules, modifying certain zoning boundaries. No changes are proposed to the
zoning categories or performance standards. The proposed rezoning is only for lands in
the central area of the draft plan. Zoning for the remaining lands within the draft plan
remain unchanged.
The zoning amendment for the parcel of land at 1415 Whitevale Road is to remove
the "A" —Agricultural Zone in Zoning By-law 3037 and rezone the parcel as LD1, LD2
and MD -DS in Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14, in accordance with the Official Plan
Amendment 22 land use designations for this parcel.
