Draft Zoning By-law Amendment
Files: OPA 20-006/P and A 11/20
A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of
informing the public with respect to the above-noted application.
Margaret Kish, Principal Planner-Policy, provided the Committee with an overview
of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 20-006/P, and Zoning By-law

introducing restrictions on home sizes would be detrimental to the sale price and
equity of the houses. He added that the majority of the homes within his
neighbourhood consist of larger homes with smaller homes being the minority. He
concluded his delegation by asking Members of the Committee to reconsider the
proposed 33 per cent footprint lot size noting that that 40 per cent was more
realistic.
Sana Moumani, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that she currently resides on Rosebank Road and that
majority of the houses in the neighbourhood consist of larger homes and that the
proposed changes would be unfair to owners of smaller homes in the
neighbourhood.
Diane Seeley, 597 Nomad Rd, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection
and inquired about the rational to exempt certain streets within a precinct from the
proposed changes, specifically Dunn Street from the Rosebank Neighbourhood
precinct. Ms. Seeley concluded her delegation by noting that while she was in
support of the Report she was not in support of exempting certain streets as this
was defeating the purpose of what had been initiated two years ago.
Chair Brenner advised delegates that the purpose of the statutory public meeting
was to listen to the comments and feedback which would be incorporated into the
recommendation report that would come back before the Committee. Chair
Brenner confirmed with City Development staff that when the recommendation
report was brought back to the Committee, it would provide answers to the
questions posed by delegates.
Paul White, Fairport Beach Neighborhood Association, joined the electronic
meeting via audio connection and noted the Association’s involvement in the
planning process of the proposed changes. Mr. White stated that consistent
legislation is important and required to maintain the existing character of
neighbourhoods. He further stated that a tree protection by-law and a by-law to
regulate the width of driveways is needed, highlighting concerns regarding
expansion of driveways causing water runoff and drainage issues. Mr. White
concluded his delegation by thanking SGL and City Staff for the Report.
Mike Borie, 1044 Escott Court, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection
and noted that on April 23, 2019, City Council passed a resolution for Staff to
proceed with Phase 2 of the Infill and Replacement Housing in Established
Neighborhoods Study and to incorporate into the Study the inclusion of a vision for
the Nautical Village and noted that Information Report 01-21 does not reference
the Nautical Village. Mr. Borie inquired why the vision for the Nautical Village was
not included in this report, given the upcoming LPAT hearing and the concerns

Chair: Councillor Brenner
expressed by Pickering Residents. He added that there had been a survey that
had been conducted pertaining to the infill study and asked whether residents
could obtain a complete copy of this survey as the survey was not included in
Report 01-21. Mr. Borie concluded his delegation by noting that while the
proposed by-laws were necessary, also vital was the inclusion of the Nautical
Village Vision as was requested by Council.
Paul Weppler, 417 Woodgrange Avenue, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that the existing by-laws and processes were working well
to allow the appropriate replacement of older homes. Mr. Weppler noted that the
new homes comply with the existing zoning by-laws and satisfy the market
demand for larger family homes, adding that these neighbourhoods were
transitioning from small dwellings to new larger family housing. He further noted
that the study unfairly vilifies large family houses, while larger homes provide the
space and amenities needed for today's families including home offices and
accommodations for senior family members. Mr. Weppler raised concerns
regarding the design standards, adding that the 'Urban Design Guideline
Checklist' is arbitrary and subjective, and would create a new layer of municipal
approval that would further create delays and increase costs in obtaining
approvals for redevelopment. He added that he owns a property on Park
Crescent, between two large replacement houses, noting that the proposed
changes would only allow him to replace the existing house with one half the size
of his neighbours. He further raised concerns regarding the limit of the precincts,
adding that it is unnecessary to single out neighbourhood precincts as all areas
should be governed equitably with the same by-laws and the official plan. He
further raised concerns regarding the proposed side yard setbacks, restrictions on
the width of an attached garage, and driveways, noting that the City and
ratepayers would incur significant financial consequences should the proposed
changes be approved. Mr. Weppler concluded his delegation by asking the
Members of the Committee to oppose the proposed changes.
Dana Saccoccio, 417 Woodgrange Avenue, joined the electronic meeting via
audio connection and read a letter dated January 3, 2021, which was emailed to
the Members of the Committee prior to the meeting. The letter noted concerns
regarding the proposed changes to lot coverage, width of attached garages, side
yard setbacks, and the subjective preferences of the Design Guideline Checklist.
Ms. Saccoccio concluded her delegation by asking Members of the Committee to
oppose the proposed changes and to provide Pickering property owners with
equal respect for property values related to development potential and current
lifestyle needs.
Garry Winsor, 600 West Shore Boulevard, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that the Federal Government had recently budgeted over
4

Chair: Councillor Brenner
three billion dollars to plant two billion trees, and advised that the City should
establish or adopt a by-law similar to the City of Vancouver and the City of Toronto
to prevent builders from cutting down healthy mature trees and to provide
protection during construction. He further noted the need for permits to remove
trees of 20 centimeters or larger in diameter, and the removal of such trees only
be allowed under certain circumstances such as outlined in the City of
Vancouver’s By-law.
Elizabeth Italiano, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that the Study was now out of date as the world had
changed due to COVID-19. Ms. Italiano noted that there is more need to work
from home resulting in more individuals needing larger homes to accommodate
home offices. She advised that as a consultant, working from home, she was
required by her employer to meet a number of demands which require additional
space, adding that such requirements are becoming more stringent. She added
that the proposed changes would discourage desirable demographic groups, such
as working professionals, in moving to Pickering. Ms. Italiano noted that lot
coverage of 40 to 45 per cent would be more realistic and that eight foot ceilings
are no longer the standard. She further added that the proposed changes would
affect older homes that are in need of reconstruction, and that the proposed
changes do not consider the need for space for virtual learning, multi-generational
living to care for elderly family members, and property equity potential. Ms. Italiano
concluded her delegation by noting her objection to the proposed changes.
Lewellyn Pereira, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that early on in this process, he had presented the need to
protect established neighbourhoods which included variables that define the
character of neighbourhoods, adding that he had formed these conclusions based
on research, the various studies conducted in Ontario, and feedback from
residents and the community. He added that he was pleased to see that SGL had
reached similar conclusions, noting that their recommendations were not
restrictive enough or ideal. Mr. Pereira asked for the implementation of temporary
restrictions for tree protection until the studies were completed adding that trees in
the West Shore and the Fairport Beach neighbourhoods were being cut down
frequently. He concluded his delegation by asking Members of the Committee to
endorse the recommendations of the Report noting that the involvement by the
community is unprecedented and should not be ignored.
Sarab Kaur, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection
in opposition to the recommendations of Information Report 01-21. Ms. Kaur
raised concerns regarding the impact on the real estate market, population
demographic, and streetscape.

Electronic Meeting – 7:00 pm
Chair: Councillor Brenner
Andrew Simanovskis, 1868 Fairport Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection to discuss a land severance application he had submitted to the City.
Chair Brenner requested that Staff follow up with Mr.Simanovskis after the
meeting as the subject matter of the delegation was not directly related to
Information Report 01-21.
Jackie Reynolds, 604 West Shore Boulevard, joined the electronic meeting via
audio connection in opposition to Report 01-21 and noted that the proposed
amendments would affect the sale of her home. She asked the Committee to
remove areas from West shore to Sunrise from the Study, as they were prime
waterfront property, and that these restrictions should be implemented for more
applicable areas. She added that now more than ever, people were looking for
larger homes and that this Study was outdated. Ms. Reynolds raised further
concerns regarding the vagueness of the meeting notification she had received in
the mail, and al so noted that the residents of the smaller homes in the community
were parking on the streets due to the small driveways and that the proposed
changes would worsen these conditions.
John Lambert, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that a conflict existed since more homes were being built
which translated to more driveways, and an increase in the amount of concrete
and people. Mr. Lambert raised concerns regarding the change to the Zoning and
noted that this could potentially mean more families living in small areas.
Tony Harold, 1023 Lytton Court, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that the Study was robust and encompassed critical areas
that are of concern to residents and developers. He stated that revising existing
neighbourhood standards to allow for greater density does not preserve the
character of the neighbourhood nor would it be in the best interest of the residents
in that neighbourhood. Mr. Harold referred to the Centreville planning application,
noting that it highlighted the concerns that the infill study raised. He noted that
there are two solutions to the Centreville application which both included working
with the builder to reduce the number of homes. Mr. Harold also made reference
to the Oak Hills planning application adding that the City and the applicant worked
collaboratively to arrive at a solution, he noted that this should be done for this
study as well.
Eileen Higdon, 852 Fairview Avenue, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection in support of the Information Report 01-21 and asked why the Nautical
Village was not included in the study. Ms. Higdon further noted that while the
study was not perfect, and is in need of adjustments, it is a step forward.

Chair: Councillor Brenner
David Steele, Pickering West Shore Community Association (PWSCA), joined the
electronic meeting via audio connection and noted that the PWSCA’s support for
the recommendations in the Report, adding the need for tree preservation
implementation. Mr. Steele noted that the proposed changes would result in
keeping the character of the West Shore community neighborhood intact as the
City changes. Mr. Steele inquired whether the rules on established community
precincts had been changed and when the R4 boundaries of West Shore would
be included in the established neighborhood precincts. Mr. Steele further raised
concerns regarding the unfair position young professionals are in when placed in a
bidding war with developers over older houses. He concluded his delegation by
requesting that the Nautical Village study be included in the final report before it is
presented to Council.
Michael Mandarello, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that many residents in Pickering do not understand the
proposed changes. Mr. Mandarello noted his disagreement with the changes to
the lot coverage, adding that the changes would not allow people to build what
they desire. He inquired whether minor variances were given to allow for height
restrictions and over building. Mr. Mandarello concluded his delegation by noting
that the current rules in place were effective and the need to inform people of the
proposed changes and the effects to their property value.
Nick Dimovski, 1923 Spruce Hill Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that he and his wife were in the planning stages of building
their dream home in Pickering and have spent money on preparing the plans for a
permit. He added that he had bought a bungalow home on Spruce Hill Road which
they planned to demolish and build a newer home, noting that most cottage
homes in the area were in need of repair and some had even been abandoned.
He noted that the proposed changes would restrict Pickering residents from
competing in the real estate markets within their own neighbourhoods, as most of
the areas identified in the Report are made up of newer homes. Mr. Dimovski
concluded his delegation by noting his objection to the proposed changes and
asked Members of the Committee to reconsider the report.

Cody Morrison, Planner II, provided the Committee with an overview of Official
Plan Amendment Application OPA 20-001/P, Zoning By-law Amendment
Application A 05/20, and Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2020-01.
Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Morrison outlined the subject
lands, previous proposals, and the planning policy framework, noting that the
applications propose to facilitate a high-density residential condominium
development within the developable portion of the subject lands, consisting of a
20-storey apartment building c ontaining 307 dwelling units, nine s treet townhouse
units and 64 stacked townhouse units. Mr. Morrison outlined the c omments
received for further review and consideration, and the next steps in the
applications.
Dana Anderson, MHBC, Planning, Urban Design & Landscape Architecture, and
Elyse Snyder, Kohn Architects, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection
and noted Sean Lawrence, Kohn Architects, and Michael Linton, Crozier
Consulting Engineers, were also connected via audio and were available for
questions. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Anderson noted
that in relation to area context the lands were approximately a total of 5.047
hectares, and as noted in the Report, 3.7 hectares of the lands were l ocated in a
natural heritage area, and that these lands would be conveyed to the
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). She provided an overview of
the subject property, access points provided, policies and the regulatory
framework pertaining to the subject lands, site history, applications and the current
status of the applications. Elise Snyder outlined the design strategies incorporated
in the proposal, noting the findings of a Sun/Shadow study which found that the
proposed location of the building would minimize shadowing and overlook impacts
to the Mosque and the neighbourhoods to t he north.

Ishtiaq Ahmed, 2123 Saffron Drive, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and highlighted concerns regarding the proposed development.
Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Ahmed noted that while
residents were in favour of development in Pickering, they do not feel that the
subject lands were the correct location for the proposed development. He further
advised that a petition had been submitted against the proposed development,
with 358 signatories from area households in immediate vicinity. He added that
the subject lands were already dense and raised concerns regarding access
points and relating traffic and safety concerns. He further added that the traffic
generated by the mosque should be considered when considering any
development in the area, as there is only one exit from the neighbourhood, and
that the proposed development would add to already existing traffic concerns. He
further noted that the proposed development would compromise the privacy of
area residents and that an additional parkette would be needed as Usman Park is
already experiencing a high volume of traffic. He discussed the existing character
of the neighbourhood and the requirements outlined in the Pickering Official Plan,
adding that new development should reflect this. Mr. Ahmed concluded his
delegation by asking Members of the Committee to only consider development
that would be in keeping with the existing character of the neighbourhood.
Shihab Zaman-Apu, 2189 Sunflower Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted concerns regarding the hyper density, and the flow of traffic
generated by the Islamic Centre that would be inflated by the proposed
development. Mr. Zaman-Apu noted that there were many other lands in the area
suitable for the proposed development, and asked Members of the Committee to
keep the density in the area at a manageable level.
Mr. Syed, Pickering Resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection
and raised concerns regarding traffic congestion, and added that Usman Park was
already experiencing a high volume of traffic. Mr. Syed further outlined the
adverse impacts to the environment due to the close vicinity of Duffins Creek. Mr.
Syed concluded his delegation by asking Members of the Committee to reconsider
the proposed development.
Maureen Schorn, Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that she had sent a photograph of the subject lands to the
Members of Committee portraying the natural beauty of the lands. She further
commented on the adverse impact to the already existing traffic concerns if the
proposed development was approved. She noted that the 2018 proposal which
provided the option to area residents to upgrade to larger townhomes, would have
been the ideal proposal. She added that the proposed tower should be reversed,
so that the townhomes were facing greenery and not the road. Ms. Schorn

concluded her delegation by asking Members of the Committee to oppose the
proposed development.
Muhammad Naeem, 2131 Saffron Drive, joined the electronic meeting via audio
connection and noted that he had been a long time Pickering resident and that he
was also a board member of the Pickering Islamic Centre (PIC). Mr. Naeem noted
that subject lands were not the suitable location for the proposed development, as
the proposal would worsen the existing traffic conditions on Usman Road. He
added that the proposed development would also be unfair for those who moved
into the area believing it to be a low rise area. Mr. Naeem noted that the PIC, in
addition to being a place of worship, was a day time school, and served as a
community center. He added that the PIC had submitted a zoning amendment
application to accommodate a three storey school building and a multi-level
parking space, and that Usman road is the only entrance for the PIC. He further
inquired whether the proposed building would be a rental building.
Rafia Tazeen, 2123 Saffron Drive, joined the electronic meeting v ia audio
connection and raised concerns regarding high density, traffic, noting only
development proposals containing the existing density level would be suitable for
the area. Ms. Tazeen further noted that there should be open space provided to
the residents of any new development as Usman Park was already experiencing a
high volume of traffic. She concluded her delegation by asking Members of the
Committee to only consider development that is suitable to the existing character
of the subject lands.
A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee, Dana
Anderson, Elyse Snyder, and Staff regarding:
• whether the sun/shadow study conducted by the applicant considered the
impact of shadows for the entire year;
• the necessity of traffic signalization for Usman road;
• whether the City was pursuing open park space with the developer for
residents of the proposed development;
• whether the lands being dedicated to the TRCA had reduced over the
course of time and whether the lands located behind Saffron Drive were
ever intended to be dedicated to the TRCA;
• whether the reference to “greenbelt” in the Report was in relation to the
Ontario Greenbelt or greenbelt space generally and the rational for
removing that component;
• clarification on moving the subject lands from a commercial site to a
residential space as there had been previous discussion on allowing for
commercial development on the subject lands; and,

Isabel Lima, Planner I, provided the Committee with an overview of Zoning By-law
Amendment Application A 10/20, and Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-
2020-02. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Lima outlined the
location plan, and the planning policy framework, noting that the applications

She further added that The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines
– Tertiary Plan identified a potential heritage home located on the subject
property, and to facilitate the proposed development, the applicant was proposing
to demolish the building. Ms. Lima outlined the comments received for further
review and consideration and the next steps in the application.
Bryce Jordan, GHD, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection and
provided a brief overview of the proposed development noting that he and Anna
Fagyas, Medallion Developments, were available for questions.
Amanda Lazaridis, Louisville Homes Limited, joined the electronic meeting via
audio connection and noted that Louisville Homes Limited own the property
adjacent to the proposed development on the east property boundary. Ms.
Lazaridis inquired whether the existing easement could be lifted prior to the
approval of any new development and whether the cost of a boundary fence to the
east of the property boundary could be shared.
