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.
