Bonus Zoning Policy, City of Pickering
A question and answer period ensued regarding Bill 108 and how this Bill would
impact the proposed draft Policy and whether the City was being fairly
compensated with the proposed figures.
Further questions were raised regarding the definition of "Community Benefit"
contained within the draft Policy, and whether the definition was broad enough
and the Policy language flexible enough, to provide that the benefit could be
used for City-wide initiatives as opposed to within the specific Ward where the
development was to take place. Staff were requested to provide a memo of
clarification on these matters prior to the Council Meeting scheduled for May 27,
2019.
Recommendation
Moved by Councillor McLean
Seconded by Mayor Ryan
That the Bonus Zoning Policy, dated May 6, 2019, be approved as set out in
Appendix I to Report PLN 12-19.
Carried
3.2 Director, Finance & Treasurer, Report FIN 07-19
Development Charges Reserve Fund — Statement of the
Treasurer for the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Discussion ensued regarding the City's current Investment Policy, as well as the
associated rates and fees and whether there were any plans to go through a
competitive RFP process to investigate other investment options. Staff were
requested to consider providing Council with a tutorial on investments noting that
this could be provided by either City Staff or an industry expert.
Recommendation
Moved by Councillor McLean
Seconded by Councillor Brenner
That Report FIN 07-19 of the Director, Finance & Treasurer respecting the
Development Charges Reserve Fund be received for information.

4. Other Business
4.1 Councillor McLean provided notice that he would be bringing forward a Notice of
Motion on Frenchman's Bay East Boardwalk.
4.2 Councillor McLean requested that Staff follow up with the Ford/Chrysler
dealership on Kingston Road due to the cars parked on the grass and the
associated issues with damage to the grass and limitations on parking for
businesses in the area.
4.3 Councillor McLean requested that Staff review and update the Property
Standards By-law and Sign By-law to address ongoing issues, including
numerous issues with real estate signs. Staff were requested to provide a work
plan on the Property Standards By-law review and to look at opportunities for
increased enforcement of these By-laws.
4.4 Councillor Brenner inquired about the removal of the pipe protruding from
Frenchman's Bay East Park's beach. Staff advised that Ontario Power
Generation was taking care of the removal and that it would be completed prior
to the May long weekend.
4.5 Councillor Brenner requested that Staff revisit the Roads Needs Assessment list,
and the timing of the scheduled repairs as there are numerous roads in need of
repair around the City noting that climate change would continue to exacerbate
these issues.
4.6 Councillor Brenner raised the matter of a request by a resident to have a
designated accessible on -street parking space and requested Staff conduct a
site visit to determine the feasibility of the request.
4.7 Councillor Butt requested that Staff reach out to those responsible for the charity
donation boxes located throughout the City of Pickering in order to monitor the
contents on a regular basis, and perhaps consider designating a specific area in
Pickering.
