MAYOR WAYNE BRUCE J. TAYLOR 02° Exhibit "A" to By-law AMENDMENT 6 TO THE CITY OF PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN 023 AMENDMENT 6 TO THE PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN (JANUARY 2002) PURPOSE: LOCATION: BASIS: The purpose of this amendment is to redesignate certain lands along Liverpool Road, south of Annland Street, from Urban Residential Areas- Low Density to Open Space System - Marina Areas, update the Wetland boundary of the Hydro Marsh, and add new policies for the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. The amendment affects lands within the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node, which includes lands on both sides of Commerce Street, extending west to Frenchman's Bay and south to the Lake Ontario shoreline, along both sides of Liverpool Road, and east to the Hydro Marsh, in the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood of the City of Pickering. This amendment to the Picketing Official Plan has been determined to be appropriate following the completion of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review in the fall of 2001. Main conclusions from the Review include, that: a marina mixed use area, along the water's edge, shall be the primary area for marina and marina-support uses; a complementary Liverpool Road Corridor shall accommodate tourist and service commercial uses; and the City shall pursue acquisition of lands for additional public parking within the Waterfront Node. The recommended guiding vision for the Waterfront Node is that of a "Great Lakes Nautical Village" with a mix of uses, high quality building design, and an inviting ambiance. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian comfort, including street amenities.
