Report Number: 13-19
Date: June 24, 2019
From: Catherine Rose, MCIP, RPP
Chief Planner
Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/19
City Initiated: City Facilities and Pickering Town Centre Joint Venture
Select Lands East and West of Glenanna Road in the City Centre
1. Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information on a zoning by-law
amendment application, initiated by the City, for certain lands located in Pickering's City
Centre. This report contains background information on the current planning policy
framework and zoning for the subject lands, and on the purpose of the amendment.
This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to
understand the proposal. Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations
on the application, ask questions of clarification and identify any planning matters. This
report is for information and no decision is being made at this time. Staff will bring forward
a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee
upon review of the comments received and revisions to the amendment, if necessary.
2. Background
In 2013, the City endorsed "Downtown Pickering: A Vision for Intensification and a
Framework for Investment". The vision for the City Centre (Downtown Pickering)
expressed that:
"Downtown Pickering will be a vibrant, sustainable, accessible and distinct city centre
for all people and all seasons. It will be a place to inspire, a place to gather, a place to
work, and a place to live, all in a compact and walkable environment."
More specifically, the following features were considered key elements of the built form
vision for the City Centre (Downtown Pickering):
• A Civic Precinct acting as the downtown's cultural and institutional hub with
destinations and distinct public realm treatment.
• An extraordinary public realm formed through new public spaces that populate the
downtown. A variety of small and large gathering places are within a five minute walk
anywhere in the downtown.
In July 2014, Council approved Official Plan Amendment 26 (OPA 26) and authorized staff
to finalize the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. OPA 26 introduced new designations
and policies, and changed existing policies to create a framework for the redevelopment
and intensification of the City Centre. OPA 26 was approved with modifications by the
Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on March 4, 2015, and has been in full force and effect
since then.
On April 11, 2017, Pickering Council approved a new comprehensive City Initiated City
Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17 and the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. The By-law
was approved by the OMB on February 22, 2018. The By-law introduced new zone
categories, permitted a broad range of uses, incorporated new development standards to
regulate the size, location, massing and height of buildings, identified minimum and
maximum density provisions, and introduced new vehicle and bicycle parking standards.
The design guidelines provide design direction for intensification, to guide building design
and private development as well as investments in public infrastructure in the City Centre.
Subsequent to the approval of the City Centre Zoning By-law, on June 12, 2017 Council
approved Official Plan Amendment 29 (OPA 29) to remove the density cap for the City
Centre. The removal of the cap provides further opportunities for intensification, allowing
for a greater number of units to be achieved within the same building envelope. The
removal of the cap will also allow developers within the City Centre greater flexibility to
provide a variety of residential unit sizes, while having consideration for matters such as
housing affordability, tenure, and market demand.
The intent of OPA 26, OPA 29, the City Centre Zoning By-law and accompanying Urban
Design Guidelines is to reshape and transform the City Centre, promote high quality urban
design and support the City's long-term vision of creating a compact, transit oriented mixed
use urban centre.
3. City's Capital Work Program
As part of the City Centre Vision, the City has been planning for the construction of a new
seniors and youth centre on the block land on the south side of The South Esplanade
(where the public/staff parking lot is currently). Additionally, a Central Library expansion
was planned which would also provide office space for municipal staff. The City has been
collecting development charges for these capital works projects.
4. Unanticipated Opportunity for Redevelopment in the City Centre
During the preparation of the City Centre Vision, OPA and rezoning, consideration was
given to the long-term future redevelopment of the Pickering Town Centre (PTC) lands.
Pickering Town Centre was envisioned to remain as the focus for retail, entertainment and
employment in the City Centre, expanding outward over time to fill in the parking areas
along Kingston Road, Glenanna Road and Pickering Parkway. Over time, the internal drive
aisles would be designed and served as publicly accessible streets fronted by buildings and
structures.
During the preparation of the City Centre Vision, a conceptual Precinct Plan for the entire
PTC lands were prepared along with minimum and maximum building heights to be
permitted within the City Centre (see Attachments #1, Conceptual Precinct Plan for
Pickering Town Centre Lands, and Attachment #2, Proposed Building Heights within the
City Centre).
The closure of the Sears retail store at the Pickering Town Centre (PTC) and the relocation
of the movie theaters to the west side of the mall, has provided an unique opportunity to
accelerate redevelopment of the City Centre, including both City facilities and new
residential and retail. On October 1, 2018 (Council Resolution #487/18), Council directed
staff to commence negotiations with OPB Realty Inc., owners of PTC, on a joint venture
initiative to redevelopment a portion of the PTC lands along the west side of Glenanna Road
between Kingston Road and Pickering Parkway, and the City of Pickering lands
immediately south of The Esplanade South (see Location Map, Attachment #3).
OPB Realty Inc. has prepared a conceptual master plan illustrating how a portion of the
PTC lands and the City lands will be redeveloped over time (see Submitted Master Plan,
Attachment #4). The Master Plan is intended to be developed in phases and a new road
network will be created to provide access to the various blocks of development. Below is a
summary of the key details and statistics of the Master Plan. Further details and statistics
are attached to Appendix I to this report. The Master Plan includes:
• a new expanded Central Library facility, approximately 4,178 square metres
(44,973 square feet) in gross floor area (which would replace the existing central
library, and allow municipal staff to expand into that building)
• a new multi-purpose Seniors and Youth facility, approximately 5,885 square metres
(63,347 square feet) anticipated to feature a full sized gymnasium, meeting/program
rooms, and youth and seniors spaces to meet the recreational needs of this growing
and thriving demographic (which would replace the existing East Shore Community
Centre)
• a 50 -storey signature landmark residential condominium building containing
approximately 602 units to be constructed on top of the Senior and Youth facility
• an Arts Centre containing up to 600 seats, which is envisioned to include a theatre,
visual arts gallery and rehearsal/program spaces, which will create a cultural hub in
within the City Centre
• various mixed-use high density residential buildings ranging in height between 9 -storeys
and 40 -storeys
• a total of 2,396 new residential dwelling units, resulting in an additional population of
approximately 4,313 people (assuming 1.8 persons per apartment dwelling)
• a total of 6,046 square metres (65,079 square feet) of new retail/commercial space
• connecting all of the buildings and uses, including the Civic Centre, is an enhanced
public realm and open spaces system
5. Proposed amendments to the City Centre Zoning By-law are required to facilitate the
Master Plan
OPB Reality Inc. and their architects have requested that the City amend specific provisions
within the City Centre Zoning By-law in order to implement the Master Plan. Specifically,
they have requested an increase to the maximum building height requirements for buildings
within the Master Plan and an amendment to the definition for Floor Space Index (FSI) to
exclude various non -habitable spaces within a building such as loading spaces, garbage
containment areas, elevators shafts etc. from the calculation of FSI (see Appendix 11,
Proposed By-law to Amend City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17).
At the direction of the Chief Administrative Officer and the at the request of OBP Reality Inc.,
the City Development Department was requested to initiate an amendment to the City Centre
Zoning By-law 7553/17 to rezone the City of Pickering lands on the south side of The
Esplanade South between Glenanna Road and Valley Farm Road, and a portion of the
PTC lands located on the west side of Glenanna Road between Kingston Road and
Pickering Parkway. The City is proposing the following amendments to the City Centre
Zoning By-law 7553/17:
City of Pickering Lands:
• rezone City lands from City Centre Civic
(CCC) zone to City Centre Two (CC2)
zone in order to permit residential uses
• increase the maximum permitted building
height on the City lands from 77 metres
(approx. 25 -storeys) to 125 metres
(approx. 40 -storeys)
Pickering Town Centre (PTC) Lands:
• permit the following increases in the
maximum permitted building height on a
portion of the PTC lands:
• from 47 metres (approx. 15 -storeys) to
155 metres (approx. 50 -storeys) for
one building as shown within the
red area
• from 47 metres (approx. 15 -storeys) to
125 metres (approx. 40 -storeys) as
shown within the yellow
• from 77 metres (approx. 25 -storeys) to
125 metres (approx. 40 -storeys) as
shown within the orange area

areas:
(a) Motor vehicle parking and bicycle parking below established grade;
(b) Motor vehicle parking and bicycle parking at or above established grade;
(c) Loading spaces and related corridors used for loading purposes;
(d) Rooms for storage, storage lockers, washrooms, electrical, utility, mechanical and
ventilation;
(e) Indoor amenity space required by this By-law;
(f) Elevator, garbage and ventilating shafts;
(g) Mechanical penthouse; and
(h) Stairwells in the building.
"Floor Space Index" means the total net floor area of all buildings on a lot divided by
the total area of the lot.
6. What notice was given?
In addition to the standard departments and agencies, written notice of the Statutory Public
Meeting and Open House was provided to the landowners within 150 metres of the entire
PTC property and the City property on the south side of The Esplanade South. In addition,
the notice was posted on the City's website and in the June 12, 2019 edition of the News
Advertiser.
7. Planning Framework
7.1 The Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS), provides policy direction on matters of
provincial interest related to land use planning and development and sets a vision for
Ontario's land use planning system.
The PPS states that healthy, livable and safe communities are to be sustained, including
among other matters, promoting efficient development and land use patterns;
accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment, institutional,
recreation, park and open space and other uses to meet long-term needs; and promoting
cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and
servicing cost.
The PPS also requires that land use patterns within settlement areas are to be based on
densities and a mix of land uses which:
• efficiently use land and resources;
• are appropriate for, and efficiently use, the infrastructure and public service facilities
which are planned or available;
• support active transportation;
• are transit -supportive, where transit is planned, exists or may be developed; and avoid
the need for their unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion; and
• minimize negative impacts to air quality and climate change, and promote energy
efficiency.
The PPS also states that healthy, active communities should be promoted by:
• planning public streets, spaces and facilities to be safe, meet the needs of pedestrians,
foster social interaction and facilitate active transportation and community connectivity;
and
• planning and providing for a full range and equitable distribution of publicly -accessible
built and natural settings for recreation, including facilities, parklands, public spaces,
open space areas, trails and linkages.
7.2 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) (the "Growth Plan") provides a
strategic framework for managing growth and environmental protection in the Greater
Golden Horseshoe region, of which the City forms an integral part, including:
• Setting minimum density targets within settlement areas and related policies directing
municipalities to make more efficient use of land, resources and infrastructure to reduce
sprawl, cultivate a culture of conservation and promote compact built form and better -
designed communities with high quality built form and an attractive and vibrant public
realm established through site design and urban design standards;
• Directing municipalities to engage in an integrated approach to infrastructure planning
and investment optimization as part of the land use planning process;
• Building complete communities with a diverse range of housing options, public service
facilities, recreation and green space that better connect transit to where people live and
work; and
• Minimizing the negative impacts of climate change by undertaking stormwater
management planning that assesses the impacts of extreme weather events and
incorporates green infrastructure.
The Growth Plan seeks to optimize provincial investments in higher order transit by
directing growth to strategic growth areas and locations with existing or planned transit,
with a priority on higher order transit where it exists or is planned. Schedule 4 of the
Growth Plan identifies Pickering City Centre as an Urban Growth Centre and on
Schedule 5 as a priority transit corridor, having the capacity to accommodate significant
mixed-use, residential and employment intensification. The Growth Plan policies for major
transit station areas on priority transit corridors inform the evaluation of this application.
Policy 2.2.4.8 b) states "All major transit station areas will be planned and designed to be
transit supportive and to achieve multimodal access to stations and connections to
nearby major trip generators by providing, where appropriate infrastructure to support
active transportation, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and secure bicycle parking."
Policy 2.2.4.9 a) states "Within all major transit station areas, development will be
supported, where appropriate, by planning for a diverse mix of uses, including affordable
housing to support existing and planned transit service levels."
The Growth Plan also focuses on accommodating forecasted growth in complete
communities. One part of complete communities is the provision of a balance of jobs and
housing in communities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) to reduce the need
for long distance commuting. Policy 2.2.5.1 d) states "Economic development and
competitiveness in the GGH will be promoted by integrating and aligning land use planning
and economic development goals and strategies to attract investment and employment."
Policy 2.2.5.3 states "Retail and office uses will be directed to locations that support active
transportation and have existing or planned transit."
7.3 The Durham Regional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan (DROP) designates Pickering's City Centre as an Urban
Growth Centre and a Regional Centre. Lands that are designated as Centres shall be
developed as the main concentration of commercial, residential, cultural and government
functions in a well-designed and intensive land use form. Furthermore, Centres shall be
developed in accordance with the following principles:
• Focal point of culture, art, entertainment and assembly through provision of public
squares, in addition to cultural facilities, parks and other public facilities;
• Mixed uses and a grid of roads and walkways;
• Urban design that favours pedestrian traffic and public transit with direct pedestrian
access to buildings, provision of transit, and parking areas sited at the rear of within
buildings, wherever possible; and
• Balance of employment and residential growth and a variety of compact, higher density
housing types to service all housing needs including affordable housing and assisted
housing.
Urban Growth Centres shall be planned as to accommodate minimum density target of
200 persons and jobs combined per gross hectare and a floor spaces index of 3.0. The
built form for the Urban Growth Centres should be a mix of predominately high-rise
development, with some mid -rise, as determined by area municipalities. The proposed
amendment conforms to the policies of the Regional Official Plan.
7.4 Pickering Official Plan
All of the lands within the City Centre are designated as "Mixed Use Areas — City Centre".
This designation permits a broad range of uses including high density residential; retailing
of goods and services; offices and restaurants; hotels; convention centres; community,
cultural and recreational uses; community gardens, and farmers' market. The maximum
permitted Floor Space Index (FSI) in the City Centre is 5.75, and the minimum residential
density is over 80 units per net hectare. As noted in Section 2 of this report, OPA 29
removed the maximum density cap for the City Centre.
As noted in Section 5 of this report, a minor technical amendment is proposed to provide
greater clarity with respect to how FSI is to be calculated within the zoning by-law. The
Official Plan defines FSI as a total floorspace of all buildings on a lot divided by the total
area of the lot. Based on the current definitions for Gross Floor Area (GFA) and FSI within
the City Centre Zoning By-law, only some of the ancillary indoor areas servicing the
occupants of the (building including areas dedicated for parking, porches, verandas, cellars,
mechanical rooms, and penthouses) would be excluded from the calculation of FSI.
7.5 City Centre Urban Design Guidelines
The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines provide design direction for intensification,
including: the orientation, massing and integration of buildings; the re -design of streets to
accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists; and, the connection,
design and use of public spaces. The design guidelines rest principally on two pillars:
placemaking and sustainability. These pillars are intertwined and form part of one of the
five corporate strategies of the City of Pickering namely "Sustainable Placemaking" which,
in the context of the City Centre, can be described as a process to improve the long-term
social, environmental, economic and cultural health of the City Centre.
The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines also provides direction regarding how the public
realm with the City Centre is to be developed. The Guidelines identify a variety of
gathering places connected by streetscapes, trails, open spaces, and parks to form a
network offering a greater diversity of public spaces in the City Centre than what currently
exists. The intent of the public realm guidelines is to ensure:
• The public realm will indicate to visitors that Pickering City Centre is the City's civic
heart, gathering place and core for culture and arts
• The public realm will contribute to the beauty and vitality of the City Centre, creating a
distinct setting for Pickering's residents and visitors
• Pickering City Centre will provide a high quality and generous public realm with a
diversity of amenities
• The public realm will be integrated into public infrastructure and new development, such
as the creation of semi-public open spaces, transit junctions and squares and the
provision of pedestrian linkages
• Public realm design should have regard for the street furniture and street lighting.
Attachment #5 to this report illustrates the proposed City Centre Public Realm Network
which indicates two squares to be provided along the west side of Glenanna Road on the
PTC lands, generally opposite of the Civic Centre.
8. Comments Received
8.1 Resident Comments
As of the date of this report, the City Development Department has received three written
comments from area residents and several verbal comments. The following is a list of
concerns that were expressed by area residents:
• commented that building heights for new buildings should be restricted to current
heights of 15 to 25 storeys
• concerned that the additional population and density will result in adverse traffic
impacts in the area
• commented that additional parkland should be provided
8.2 Agency Comments
The City initiated rezoning application has been circulated to various internal department
and external agencies, including the City Engineering Services Department, Fire Services,
Building Services, Region of Durham Planning and Economic Development Department,
Ministry of Transportation, School Boards, and utility companies. As of the date of this
report, the City Development Department has not received any comments from internal
departments and external agencies with respect to the rezoning application.
9. The City has initiated the review and assessment of the engineering works involved
with the implementation of the Master Plan
To accommodate project timelines set out by senior City staff and senior officials from OPB
Reality Inc., the City has initiated the review of various engineering works involved with the
implementation of the Master Plan. Through the 2019 budget process, Council allocated
funds to retain The Municipal Infrastructure Group Limited (TMIG) to complete an update to
the Pickering City Centre Stormwater Management Strategy. As part of this review, TMIG
will explore if the existing flood storage located on the south parking lot on the PTC lands
can be relocated or reduced, and if the City's trunk storm sewer that traverses the PTC site
can be relocated.
Also in March 2019, Council approved the hiring of Sabourin, Kimble & Associates Ltd. to
provide project management services and undertake the necessary preliminary engineering
services associated with the City Centre Project. Sabourin, Kimble & Associates Ltd. will
provide services specifically related to municipal infrastructure such as sanitary sewer,
water supply, and stormwater management and drainage, including capacity analysis and
municipal service relocations to accommodate the proposed development.
Sabourin, Kimble & Associates Ltd. will also be retaining a transportation consultant to
undertake a review of the surrounding road network and make recommendations on
access/egress points, road cross sections, intersection modifications and signalization.
As part of the City's engineering review and assessment, redevelopment of adjacent lands
in accordance the maximum FSI requirement and zoning permissions will be taken into
consideration.
10. OPB Reality Inc.'s preliminary construction schedule
OPB Reality Inc. has advised that based on their preliminary construction schedule, they
intend to submit a formal Site Plan Application in July 2019 for the new Central Library, the
Arts Centre, the Youth and Seniors Centre, the 50 -storey condominium apartment building,
and the high density mixed-use buildings on the City lands. Relocation of existing
underground services may commence as early as Fall of 2019 and full construction of all
municipal facilities will be underway in 2020 with an anticipated completion date of July
2023 for the municipal facilities.
11. Planning & Design Section Comments

Proposed By-law to Amend City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17
The Corporation of the City of Pickering
By-law No. XXXX/19
Being a By-law to amend Zoning By-law 7553/17, as
amended, (A 06/19)
Whereas Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O 1990, c.P.13, as amended, permits a
Council to pass a by-law prohibiting the use of land, buildings or structures within a
defined area or areas;
Whereas Zoning By-law 7553/17 is the governing By-law of The Corporation of the City
of Pickering pertaining to the subject lands;
Whereas the Council of the Corporation of the City of Pickering has deemed it advisable
to amend Zoning By-law 7553/17;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as
follows:
1. Section 5, Definitions, of Zoning By-law 7553/17, as amended, is further amended
by alphabetically inserting the definition "Floor Area, Net", as follows:
"Floor Area, Net" means the total area of all floors of a building measured from the
interior faces of the exterior walls or demising walls, but does not include the
following areas:
(a) Motor vehicle parking and bicycle parking below established grade;
(b) Motor vehicle parking and bicycle parking at or above established grade;
(c) Loading spaces and related corridors used for loading purposes;
(d) Rooms for storage, storage lockers, washrooms, electrical, utility, mechanical
and ventilation;
(e) Indoor amenity space required by this By-law;
(f) Elevator, garbage and ventilating shafts;
