3.0 OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING
3.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
- designates the subject lands as Living Area, where development is intended to be
predominantly for housing purposes;
- lands in the vicinity of the subject property arc also identified as Open Space
Linkages which recognizes an east -west ecological linkage known as the
Rouge-Duffins Corridor;
Whites Road is designated as a Type A Arterial Road where it abuts the subject
property;
the proposal appears to conform to these designations;
3.2 Pickering Official Plan
3.2.1 Deferral 36
- in March 1997, the Council adopted Official Plan designation for the subject land was
Open Space - Natural Area and Urban Study Area;
in August 1997, Council, following receipt of Whites Road North Area Urban Study,
adopted modifications 22 and 23 to the Pickering Official Plan affecting these lands;
the modifications proposed the establishment of Open Space - Natural Area and
Urban Residential Area — Low Density Area on the subject lands; the Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) did not support the modifications and
requested further detailed information about the subject lands;
in September 1997, Regional Council deferred consideration of the land use
designation for the subject lands and established Deferral 36; it was understood that
through subdivision and rezoning applications and the required supporting reports,
the additional information required by TRCA would be submitted in order to resolve
the outstanding issues of Deferral 36;
3.2.2 Other Policies
- modification 22 and 23 of the Pickering Official Plan proposes the establishment of
Urban Residential Area — Low Density Area and Open Space — Natural Area
designations for the subject lands;
permissible uses within the Urban Residential Area — Low Density Area designation
include residential uses, including both single detached dwellings units and
semi-detached dwelling units;
- the proposal is within the Amberlea Neighbourhood of the Pickering Official Plan;
- the Plan establishes a maximum density range for the low density residential
development designation of up to and including 30 units per net hectare; however, the
Amberlea Neighbourhood plan provides some additional policies for the development
of the subject lands including the option of residential dcnsity of up to 80 units per
hectare if the resulting development form demonstrates that the size characteristics
and constraints are better addressed;
hnfomiation Report No. 07-02 Page 3 0 3 5
the proposed development svould provide a net site density of approximately 35 units
per hectare (based on the potential 149 dwelling units being developed on
approximately 4.25 hectares of land):
the lands that are proposed to be designated Open .Sjtce — Natural :Area represent
land that are within and or abut the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor;
permissible uses within land designated Open Space — Natural Area include
conservation, environmental protection, restoration and passive recreation;
- Schedule 1I of the Pickering Official Plan - Transportation Systems designates
Whites Road where it abuts the draft plan as a Type A Arterial Road;
- Type A .-arterial Roads are the highest order arterial road that are designed to carry
large volumes of traffic at moderate to high speed and have access restrictions:
the proposed new public streets serving the proposed development would function as
Local Road;
- section 11.13(c) of the Oficial Plan requires new public roads intersections on
Whites Road north of the Ontario Hydro corridor is provided to the satisfaction of the
Region of Durham:
•
- section 11.13(d) oldie Official Plan provides development guidelines for the subject
lands that encourages a development form that takes advantage of the small, isolated
pockets of land in close proximity to a Type 'A' arterial road. and minimizes the
impact of development on the area's natural features and functions; and. ensure that
new roads connecting to White; Road are designed in a manner that minimizes
impacts on the area's natural features and functions, and intersects with Whites Road
at locations that do not prejudice the future construction of a Whites Road%C.P. -rail
line overpass;
- Schedule 1II of the Pickering Official Plan - Resource Management designates lands
to the north, west and south of the subject property as Rouge-Dtffins Wildlife
Corridor;
- section 10.17 of the Official Plan clarifies that the boundary of the Rouge-Duffins
Wildlife Corridor Coincides with the boundary of the Open Space — Natural Areas
designation; this section of the plan also requires an Environmental Report to address
setbacks; buffers, edge management and stornyvater:
- in accordance with Official Plan policies, an environmental report has been
'submitted;
- the subject applications will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the
Pickering Official Plan during the further processing of the applications;
3.3 Zoning By-law 3036, as amended
the subject lands are currently zoned -A- — Rural Agriculture Zone. by
Zoning By-law 3036, as amended:
the existing zoning permits a range of agricultural uses. one detached dwelling, some
recreational and community institutional uses. and selected agricultural commercial
uses;

CFN 32577
We acknowledge receipt of the above application and drawing No. 32 - DP9 dated August 22,
2001 prepared by Alcorn and Associates. We also acknowledge receipt of an Environmental
Impact Assessment prepared by ESG International provided by the applicant.
The proposal is to allow for a 75 lot subdivision within a tableland woodiot. The woodiot is part
of the Rouge Duffins Corridor and is designated as Open Space within the Morningside Heights
Official Plan. Staff promote the protection of the woodiot feature as it serves a significant
linkage function and appears to provide a significant habitat function. However given the
applicant's submission of an Environmental Impact Study, prior to providing detailed
comments, we request additional time to review the provided document. A meeting with TRCA
staff has also been requested to discuss the above proposal. Therefore staff withhold providing
further comments on the application until we have had an opportunity to review the EIS and
further discuss the proposed with the applicant.
Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions.
Yours truly,
