Ms. Cunningham questioned why those lands were chosen, as there are other alternative locations that would not have impacted the wetlands.

Mr. Lavoie noted that the proposal is inconsistent with several applicable policies and plans such as the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Mr. Lavoie advised that the proposal is inconsistent with the low density characteristic of the neighborhood, and proposes to replaces a single dwelling with a lot coverage of less than 5% with 27 condominiums with a lot coverage averaging 38%, which does not maximize permeability of the site, and increases density. He expressed concern for the proposal, due to increased traffic, potential flooding and erosion, contaminated soils, storm water management and negative environmental impact s due to the subject lands being adjacent to Dunbarton Creek, specifically its impacts on existing wildlife and species at risk. A question and answer period ensued b etween Members of the Committee and Martin Lavoie regarding: - 51 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 6, 2021 Electronic Meeting – 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor Brenner 5 the inclusion of additional visitor parking, road widening due to the Traffic Study, and robust tree planting plan, among other revisions made by the new applicant. Mr. Lavoie noted that the revisions are not sufficient in remediating the concerns of the coalition, noting that widening the road to 6.5 metres did not address the issue of a single access point and effects on parking and snow removal; how Fairport Road is a feeder road set to handle traffic from Finch Ave to Sheppard Avenue and Highway 2; comparison of the number of dwellings proposed and those in other developments on Fairport Road; whether an identified wetland existed on the subject lands; water infrastructure capacity, water pressure, snow removal, and parking concerns; whether the soil contamination had been addressed, and the importance of remediating before the proposed development proceeds. 4.2 Duncan Webster, Land Development Manager, GTA Land Division Andrew Scott , Associate Land Development Manager Mattamy Homes Re: Report PLN 16-21 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2015-03 (R) Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 05/15 (R) Seaton TFPM Inc.

She inquired what legal measure would be put in place to guarantee the integrity of the fence, and meet the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) requirements, such as illustrating how all vegetation in the natural heritage system would be protected from grading and construction impacts. Ms. Freund commended the inclusion of the requirement of the subdivision agreement to submit a Record of Site Condition (RSC) which will require the applicant to remediate the contaminated soil and expressed concerns regarding bull dozer activity on the site that may have spread contaminant s. She further requested that the construction of the Natural Heritage System Buffer zone not be completed during mating season for wildlife, and expressed concern that the application is incompatible with the character of the existing neighbourhood. 4.5 Brian Moss, Principal Brian Moss And Associates Ltd. - 53 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 6, 2021 Electronic Meeting – 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor Brenner 7 Re: Report PLN 17-21 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2019-03 Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP-2019-04 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/19 10046043 Canada Inc. & C.

Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Moss highlighted the Environmental Impact Study (EIS), Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), and extensive consultation with TRCA. He advised that the revised application included additional trees that had been removed by the prior owner, increased visitor parking, the dedication of a sliver of land to Taplin Drive that will be offered to adjacent owners, and that the proposal conforms to the existing characteristics of the neighbourhood. Mr. Moss noted that there would be positive drainage throughout the property, which will get caught up and go into Dunbarton Creek, and a setback and planting of native species buffer to enhance the wildlife habitat. Mr. Moss noted that the contaminated soil would be remediated, before final approval of the draft plan of subdivision. He spoke to the Traffic Impact Study conducted during peak hours, to assess road congestion and stated the Study concluded that Fairport Road would continue to function appropriately. He noted that the proposed road widening on Block 8 would ensure emergency vehicle access, and endeavored to address concerns raised by residents, including a privacy fence, and to avoid buffer construction during wildlife nesting and mating season. A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee and Brian Moss regarding: the dedication of a triangular piece of land, on the southwest corner, for use as open space, at no cost to the City and whether any other lands were being conveyed to the TRCA; similarities between 1950/1952 Fairport Road and other similar developments on Fairport Road, road widths, and visitor parking; location of the proposed dwellings, and correlation with the Infill and Replacement Housing Study, with reduced lot coverage, increased front yard setback, and increased side yard setbacks which will make the proposed project more spacious with an opening to Dunbarton Creek; and, ensuring the trees planted are adequate in size and species, Staff confirmed that the owner will be required to provide a Landscape Plan - 54 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 6, 2021 Electronic Meeting – 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor Brenner 8 indicating the location, size and species of all trees, to the satisfaction of the City, including compensation. 4.6 Kenneth Peter Arndt Re: Report PLN 17-21 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2019-03 Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP-2019-04 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/19 10046043 Canada Inc. & C.

He requested that the easements registered on title , which require a minimum setback from his property to limit the impact of water flow off and onto his property, remain in place noting the developer was seeking to decrease the setback requirements. Mr. Arndt stated that figure 2 of the report does not identify the drainage pipe that runs through his property and noted figure 3 exhibits the retaining walls and flow being removed, despite assurances that the pipe will be diverted and external flows would be accommodated in the grading, storm water and servicing strategy. Mr. Arndt spoke to the storm management report being relied on by the community, and sought clarification on the proposed grading and impact on his property. 4.7 Brian Ferguson Re: Report PLN 17-21 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2019-03 Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP-2019-04 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/19 10046043 Canada Inc. & C.

Commissioner of Corporate Services March 25, 2021 The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Room 281 Legislative Building, Queen’s Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1 Dear Premier Ford: RE: Motion to add Pharmacies in Durham Region to the Government of Ontario’s Pilot Project to Deliver the AstraZeneca Vaccine, Our File: P00 Council of the Region of Durham, at its meeting held on March 24, 2021, adopted the following recommendations: “Whereas the Biden administration is finalizing plans to send 1.5 million doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Canada as a loan; And whereas according to the Government of Canada’s Covid-19 tracker, at approximately 10:00 AM on March 24, 2021, 4,327,334 doses had been administered. In addition, 3,688,286 of Canadians have received at least one dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. 639,048 Canadians are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, having received both required doses; And whereas according to the Government of Ontario, 325 pharmacy sites, including Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall and independent pharmacies, offer the AstraZeneca vaccine to eligible Ontarians 60-65 in Toronto, Windsor-Essex, and Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington; And whereas ensuring that Durham Region residents have local access to vaccines is crucial to mitigating the spread of COVID-19; Therefore be it resolved that: Pharmacies in Durham Region be added to the Government of Ontario’s pilot project immediately; and Corr. 19-21 - 79 - Page 2 of 2 That a copy of this motion be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Health, Ontario Opposition Leaders, Durham Region MPPs and all eight local municipal Councils.” Ralph Walton Ralph Walton, Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services RW/ks c: Christine Elliot, Minister of Health Erin O’Toole, Conservative Party of Canada Rod Phillips, MPP (Ajax) Lindsey Park, MPP (Durham) Laurie Scott, MPP (Haliburton/Kawartha Lakes/Brock) David Piccini, MPP (Northumberland/Peterborough South) Jennifer French, MPP (Oshawa) Peter Bethlenfalvy, MPP (Pickering/Uxbridge) Lorne Coe, MPP (Whitby) Nicole Cooper, Clerk, Town of Ajax Becky Jamieson, Clerk, Township of Brock June Gallagher, Clerk, Municipality of Clarington Mary Medeiros, City Clerk, City of Oshawa Susan Cassel, Clerk, City of Pickering Leigh Fleury, Acting Clerk, Township of Scugog Debbie Leroux, Clerk, Township of Uxbridge Chris Harris, Clerk, Town of Whitby - 80 - From: Mallory Clyne <mclyne@bot.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2021 2:24 PM To: Mallory Clyne <mclyne@bot.com> Subject: New Report on Regional Rail for Recovery Importance: High Dear Mayor, As a leader in this important region, you know how essential efficient transportation systems are to our region’s competitiveness. The swift movement of people, goods and services is integral to economic growth and recovery. I am writing you today to share the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s latest report, “Getting on the Right Track: Connecting communities with regional rail.” The report posits that if we change the way we use our existing regional rail network we could create a transportation system that could connect communities right across our region with one another, providing capacity ten times that of the Yonge subway. By transforming the existing park-and-ride-oriented, predominantly unidirectional GO Transit commuter rail service into a bidirectional, all-day regional rail service fully integrated with local transit, our region’s transit system would match those of global cities like Paris and London, resulting in immense benefits including decreased emissions, improved equity, greater access to talent for employers, and increased investment attraction. You can find out more about the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s work on transportation, including our report on the benefits of fare integration, here.

Legislative Services 605 Rossland Rd. E., Level 1 PO Box 623 Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 Dear Mr. Walton: Thank you for your letter of March 25, 2021, regarding rail traffic data. I am pleased to respond on behalf of Canadian Pacific (“CP”). Your letter requests that CP provide rail traffic data to noise consultants. While we appreciate that developers may be undertaking impact analysis for potential development in close proximity to railway infrastructure, rail traffic volume on any part of our North American network is a function of market demand. Traffic volumes fluctuate regularly as market demand for goods and commodities shifts or as export patterns change. Consequently, any rail traffic data is only a “snapshot” in time and should not ever be relied upon to take decisions with respect to development near rail infrastructure that would have a long life expectancy. In any event, CP considers its traffic data proprietary and confidential. That being said, CP has at times provided traffic data to some developers and noise consultants. Unfortunately, we found this practice was inconsistent, and in some cases, developers were using the data to justify the avoidance of important noise and vibration mitigation measures for developments in close proximity to rail infrastructure. Given the nature of rail traffic, CP recommends that developers, municipalities, and other stakeholders, adopt and respect the Proximity Guidelines established jointly by the Railway Association of Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The guidelines describe the minimum standards and mitigation measures that should be incorporated for any development in close proximity to railway infrastructure. They also set out the railway consultation process for specific projects. The guidelines are available online at www.proximityissues.ca. Railway infrastructure is heavy industrial property that forms the backbone of Canada’s national supply chain, with Canadians from coast to coast depending on the food, medicine, heating oil, and other critical freight that CP transports every day. Railways, including CP, are con sidered essential services by the federal governments of both Canada and the United States, and every provincial and state government across our North American network. Corr. 21-21 - 142 - Page 2 of 2 CP trains move traffic 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in the service of our customers and by extension the needs of Canada’s economy. Any development near railway infrastructure should assume the potential for frequent train activity at any time of the day and any day of the year. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

The purpose of this Report is to request that the Region of Durham and the Hamilton- Oshawa Port Authority be requested to work cooperatively together to investigate the work 264- 146 - Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS-21-34 Meeting Date: March 8, 2021 Page 2 necessary to apply with the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario to establish the appropriate area in Durham Region including the City of Oshawa and the lands in Oshawa operated by the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority as a Foreign Trade Zone Point. Attachment 1 to this Report is a chart showing the criteria used by FedDev Ontario to review applications to establish a Foreign Trade Zone Point (F.T.Z.P.). The criteria appears to be more of a guideline than strict requirements. 2.0 Recommendation That the Development Services Committee recommend to City Council: 1. That the Region of Durham and the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority be requested to work cooperatively together to investigate the work necessary to apply with the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario to establish the appropriate area in Durham Region including the City of Oshawa and the lands in Oshawa operated by the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority as a Foreign Trade Zone Point. 2. That a copy of this Report and the related Council resolution be sent to the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, the Region of Durham, the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority, all Durham Region municipalities and all Durham Region M.P.s and M.P.P.s. 3.0 Executive Summary Not applicable. 4.0 Input From Other Sources The following have been consulted in the preparation of this Report: Airport Manager Region of Durham Economic Development City of Hamilton Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade FedDev Ontario H.O.P.A. 5.0 Analysis 5.1 Foreign Trade Zone versus Foreign Trade Zone Point An F.T.Z. refers to a large geographic area which can be made up of multiple F.T.Z.P.s. In that regard, it should be noted that all of Canada is designated as an F.T.Z. While there are 14 F.T.Z.P.s in Canada, in the context of the Province of Ontario there are currently only the three following locations: City of Hamilton Niagara Region 265- 147 - Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS-21-34 Meeting Date: March 8, 2021 Page 3 Windsor and Essex County It is important to note the differences in governance between the City of Oshawa and the three existing F.T.Z.P.s in Ontario. The City of Hamilton is a single tier municipality that does not include an upper tier regional government. Niagara Region is an upper tier regional municipality consisting of 12 lower tier municipalities in southern Ontario. Finally, the F.T.Z.P. for Windsor-Essex consists of the single tier City of Windsor and the County of Essex which is an upper tier municipality in southwestern Ontario consisting of 7 lower tier municipalities. This contrasts with the governance model in Durham Region where the City of Oshawa is a lower tier municipality and the Region of Durham is the upper tier level of government. 5.2 Background on Foreign Trade Zone Point An F.T.Z.P. refers to one of Canada’s 14 strategic locations for international trade, where an organization with a mandate to promote local trade and foreign direct investment is uniquely supported by a single-point of access to information on relevant government policies and programs. Existing F.T.Z.P.s view the designation as a concierge program or “one-stop-shop” for clients to more conveniently access Federal trade programs and incentives. The belief is that this consolidated grouping of Federal agencies and resources will provide more streamlined access to programs. This will maximize value to the client, improve overall uptake of programs and directly connect clients with administering agencies and experts. The programs appear to specifically target small and medium sized businesses with more limited resources and experience with exporting. Typically, larger organizations have the resources and expertise necessary to navigate these programs successfully without any consultation from or interaction with an F.T.Z.P. Existing F.T.Z.P.s promote southern Ontario as a hub for international trade and aim to attract foreign and domestic investment. F.T.Z.P.s align with the Government of Canada's priorities to help businesses integrate into foreign markets and global value chains. They provide streamlined information on the Government of Canada's tax and tariff export- related programs that can make it easier for businesses looking to expand and export. F.T.Z.P. incentives include: The Duty Deferral Program The Drawback Program The Customs Bonded Warehouse Program The Export Distribution Centre Program The Exporters of Processing Services Program Collectively, these types of programs offer: Access to Federal, Provincial and Regional incentive programs that support Canada’s export development efforts; 266- 148 - Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS-21-34 Meeting Date: March 8, 2021 Page 4 Direct access to goods movement sector professionals, including Federal agencies, related to air, sea, rail and road cargo; Opportunities to participate in networking events and trade missions; Provide resources, introductions and assistance; and, Mentoring services from experienced exporters. 5.3 Foreign Trade Zone Steering Committee The process to advance an F.T.Z.P. application is usually kick-started by establishing a steering committee consisting of local municipal partners and business stakeholders to oversee, review and submit the application. The steering committee for the City of Hamilton included: The City of Hamilton; John C. Munro International Airport; H.O.P.A.; Canada Border Services Agency; Canada Revenue Agency; Transport Canada; Global Affairs Canada; Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada; and, Export Development Canada. 5.4 Regional Roles and Responsibilities The Region needs to take a lead role in the investigation into the appropriateness of an F.T.Z.P. in Durham Region in general and the City of Oshawa in particular. As the upper tier regional level of government, the Region of Durham’s roles and responsibilities will include but not be limited to: Establishing an F.T.Z.P. steering committee and leading the formal application process in cooperation with H.O.P.A., lower tier municipal partners and regional stakeholders; Establishing process and guidelines for the successful operation of an F.T.Z.P., in cooperation with steering committee members; Funding the F.T.Z.P. application process with assistance of H.O.P.A., including any external parties along with the ongoing operation of the established F.T.Z.P.; Advocacy with Federal and Provincial agencies involved in the evaluation of the F.T.Z.P. application; In partnership with H.O.P.A., tracking and reporting on metrics associated with international trade throughout the Region to report on annual progress; 267- 149 - Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS-21-34 Meeting Date: March 8, 2021 Page 5 Acting as a first point of contact for Regional businesses seeking guidance on international trade; Establishing a direct line of contact with partnering Federal agencies on international trade and assisting Regional companies in the navigation of Federal trade programs; and, Marketing the F.T.Z.P. to the Regional business community as a resource for approaching international markets. 5.5 Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority Roles and Responsibilities As a local leader in multimodal logistics and a facilitator of international trade, H.O.P.A.’s roles and responsibilities will include but not be limited to: Providing all necessary data for an F.T.Z.P. application with regards to local marine assets, current multimodal infrastructure as well as planned improvements to any infrastructure that would contribute to the development of the F.T.Z.P. application; Advising on the F.T.Z.P. application process based on prior involvement and experience with a successful F.T.Z.P. designation; Liaising with the Region directly on matters pertaining to international trade; and, Supporting Regional advocacy efforts through existing H.O.P.A. communication channels. 5.6 City of Oshawa Roles and Responsibilities As a lower tier municipality and host city to many of the Region’s multimodal assets (e.g. rail, port, airport), the City of Oshawa’s roles and responsibilities will include but not be limited to: Contributing to the F.T.Z.P. application process from a municipal perspective; Steering committee membership; Directing international trade inquiries to the regional F.T.Z.P. and providing municipal assistance where required; and, Assisting in regionally led marketing and advocacy efforts on international trade leveraging municipal communication channels. 5.7 Insights from Hamilton Economic Development The City of Hamilton Economic Development Department has advised that F.T.Z.P. application process is lengthy. Their process involved a team of local partners, including H.O.P.A., the City of Hamilton’s Economic Development Department, and the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport. Written support from local stakeholders was 268- 150 - Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS-21-34 Meeting Date: March 8, 2021 Page 6 highlighted as an essential element of the application, including all levels of government and private sector participation/oversight. Over the course of two years, Hamilton’s Steering Committee worked together to achieve their F.T.Z.P. designation. They formed the steering committee for the application and contributed financially to establishing and maintaining the F.T.Z.P. The total application package was 60 pages, in addition to appendices that included approximately a dozen supporting documents. As a requirement of the F.T.Z.P. application, a designated staff member was appointed as the primary contact for all matters related to the F.T.Z.P. A contract position at H.O.P.A. was also created to write the application over the course of 6 months. Once the application was approved and the designation awarded, H.O.P.A transferred this role to a staff member at the City of Hamilton Economic Development Office. 5.8 Insights from Durham Region Informal discussions within Durham Region have led to an initial investigation into the establishment of an F.T.Z.P. The Region continues to evaluate the potential opportunity as their Economic Development Department undertakes a new strategy and action plan in 2021. As part of the Region’s economic development strategy consultations, the F.T.Z.P. will be more thoroughly evaluated to determine its suitability and value to the Region. This Report recommends that the Region be requested to work co-operatively with H.O.P.A. to investigate the establishment of an F.T.Z.P. 5.9 Staff Comments on Criteria Attachment 1 to this Report is a chart showing the criteria used by FedDev Ontario to review applications to establish an F.T.Z.P. Staff comments are noted below: The criteria appear to be more of a guideline as opposed to strict and measurable standards; The City’s and Region’s Economic Development Strategy both recognize the importance of the lands in Oshawa operated by H.O.P.A.; More detailed work would be required to confirm how the F.T.Z.P. would meet the criteria related to a favourable business environment; Proximity to highways, railways and post-secondary institutions can be demonstrated; and, More research would be needed on the criteria related to the Oshawa Executive Airport. 269- 151 - Report to Development Services Committee Item: DS-21-34 Meeting Date: March 8, 2021 Page 7 6.0 Financial Implications There are no immediate financial implications resulting from the recommendations of this Report. Future financial implications resulting from a successful F.T.Z.P. application could be assumed in the annual Economic Development Services operating budget and would include matters such as marketing, seminars, speaking engagements, trade show attendance, trade missions and marketing material. 7.0 Relationship to the Oshawa Strategic Plan The recommendation advances the Accountable Leadership and Economic Prosperity and Financial Stewardship Goals of the Oshawa Strategic Plan.

Marie, Ontario Canada P6A 5X6 - 156 - 3 SAULT STE. MARIE The City of Sault Ste . Marie is formally applying to the Federal Economic Development Initiative in Northern Ontario for a Foreign Trade Zone Point (FTZ Point) designation. This application is being led by the Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation (SSMEDC) and is supported by City Council and SSMEDC Board resolutions, and industry and community stakeholders (See Appendix A for support letters). Sault Ste . Marie is an international trade gateway – by land and waterway, and by rail and air access. The city has long been a major centre for resource processing and transportation, and manufacturing in Northern Ontario. It is the major northern Ontario gateway for Canada-U.S. trade by rail and truck across two dedicated bridges, and by marine transport through the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway. In 2017 the total value of trade across the International Bridge was $1.629 billion U.S. – $838.2 million in exports to the U.S. and $791.1 million in imports to Canada . Sault Ste. Marie is a natural hub of trade in the region. The community shares an uncongested border with the United States, offers multimodal shipping both domestically and internationally, is located on the Great Lakes with a deep sea port, and offers many other advantages for importing and exporting products and goods . Strategically located at the nexus between Canada’s east-west road and rail networks and U .S . North- South rail and highway systems, Sault Ste. Marie is well-positioned to facilitate trade between the heartlands of the two countries with the largest two- way trading relationship in the world . International trade, especially two-way Canada- U.S. trade, has long been the life blood of Canada’s economy. Trade volumes have continued to grow between the two countries following NAFTA, and are expected to continue under the United States-Mexico -Canada Agreement . INTRODUCTION There are a range of companies that are an active part of North American and global supply chains, including both manufacturing and service companies. These companies make use of domestic and imported inputs and export various goods and services. The City of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario is committed to growing international trade opportunities, growing local business and attracting new investment to the community . The Sault Ste . Marie Economic Development Corporation through its Invest Sault Ste. Marie program, works with stakeholders in the community to drive economic development and growth . International trade represents a growing segment and opportunity for local business and industry . SSMEDC has identified international market development, trade development and the establishment of an FTZ Point designation as key priorities in their 2019-2024 strategic plan and 2019 business plan. Designation also aligns well with existing international marketing efforts and our work developing a Bi-National Investment District with Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. - 157 - 4 SAULT STE. MARIE SSMEDC has identified more than 50 local companies currently involved in international trade activities, and more than 30 additional companies with interest in developing new international markets. While some businesses benefit from existing Foreign Trade Zone programs, we note that many more businesses are unaware of the programs or do not have the human resource capacity to take advantage of them . A federal FTZ Point designation would benefit Sault Ste. Marie and area, Ontario and Canada by: • Improving coordination of the community’s trade promotion efforts by bringing together local, provincial and federal officials with a mandate to promote and facilitate international trade . • Helping provide a dedicated focus on facilitating trade through community leadership which can identify gaps in hard and soft infrastructure and then advocating for investment in this infrastructure. Program Main Benefit Administered/Regulated by Duties Relief Upfront relief of duties Canada Border Services Agency Duties Drawback Refunds duties for exported goods Canada Border Services Agency Customs Bonded Warehouse Defers/relieves duties and taxes Canada Border Services Agency Export Distribution Centre Upfront relief of GST/HST on certain imports and domestic purchases Canada Revenue Agency Exporters of Processing Services Upfront relief of GST/HST on certain imports and domestic purchases Canada Revenue Agency INTRODUCTION • Providing “one-window” access to the five federal programs, as well as to other public sector (federal, provincial, and local) and private sector trade facilitation services (legal, customs brokers, transportation, etc.) • Supporting provincial and federal objectives to attract investment, reduce trade barriers, support jobs and expand trade in both goods and services. • Leveraging the FTZ Point designation and the “one-window” access to effectively brand Sault Ste. Marie as a major international trade gateway. – Outside investors are familiar with the concept and some are looking specifically for areas with a Foreign Trade Zone . – The FTZ Point can be a powerful component of developing brand awareness as an international trade corridor/gateway. Figure 1: Federal FTZ Programs for Importers/Exporters - 158 - 5 SAULT STE. MARIE FTZ POINT PROPOSAL Sault Ste . Marie is positioned at the centre of the Great Lakes Economy, a highly integrated trading zone that accounts for more than 50% of all U.S./ Canadian bilateral border trade and over 200 million tons of cargo shipped annually. The region, made up of 10 U.S. states and two provinces has a GDP of US$6 trillion – making it the third largest economy in the world. (Source: Council of the Great Lakes Region). This region is attractive to companies in numerous industries and sectors . Foreign Trade Zone Point designation can make Sault Ste. Marie more attractive for these and other companies . The overriding goals for achieving designation for Sault Ste. Marie as an FTZ Point include: • To become a Northern Ontario focal point for international trade • To significantly strengthen international trade for existing businesses in the region • To attract new businesses and investment to Sault Ste . Marie that engage in international trade activities. Achievement of these overall goals will help to strengthen and diversify Sault Ste. Marie’s economic base. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES The specific objectives for becoming a designated FTZ Point include the following: 1. To enhance the visibility of Sault Ste. Marie as a Foreign Trade Zone 2. To establish a one-window seamless foreign trade service point 3. To strengthen Sault Ste. Marie’s positioning on the investment attraction “map” and enhance promotion of the region for investment attraction 4. To enhance collaboration among the region’s trade and investment attraction partners 5. To provide enhanced government outreach to the community vis-a-vis foreign trade 6. To be an important interface between government and businesses STRATEGIC ATTRIBUTES/ FEATURES As part of the formal application process for designation as an FTZ Point, we have summarized 13 key strategic attributes and features of Sault Ste. Marie . 1. An Economic Priority for the Region International trade has been identified as an important priority by the SSMEDC in its Strategic Plan, 2019 Business Plan, on its website(s) as well as in associated investment attraction marketing and promotional materials . The SSMEDC has a senior-level staff member in the position of Manager of Trade, Investment & Community Marketing who is actively promoting Sault Ste . Marie and targeting leads for foreign and domestic direct investment. Attention is also focused on helping companies achieve growth through exporting and accessing new markets and fostering international relationships . Sault Ste . Marie has had success in the past with international and other investment attraction. We continue to work to make Sault Ste. Marie even more attractive demonstrated by major international investments made in local companies such as: • Essar Group, a subsidiary of India-based Essar, purchased Algoma Steel in 2007 ($1.8 billion purchase + $500 million investment) • KKR & Company which purchased the 60-megawatt solar farms project in the Sault ($300 million investment) • Brookfield Prince Windmill Project ($400 million investment) • Tenaris Algoma Tubes, a manufacturer of seamless and welded steel pipe products ($30 million investment) • Heliene Canada, a manufacturer of photovoltaic solar panels ($6.5 million investment) • Arauco N.A., which purchased and operates a medium density fibreboard mill - 159 - 6 SAULT STE. MARIE FTZ POINT PROPOSAL • Agero operates a contact centre in Sault Ste . Marie, providing roadside assistance services on behalf of major U.S. car manufacturers. • Noront Resources Ltd. has announced a $1 billion project to build a ferrochrome production facility in Sault Ste . Marie In November 2018, Algoma Steel Inc. emerged from CCAA, after being purchased by a new operating group. There was strong local, provincial and federal government commitment to the restructuring and modernization of Algoma Steel which relies heavily on international trade and cross-border flows of goods and services. The new company is planning hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and upgrades. International consultant KPMG ranked Sault Ste . Marie in the top tier in Ontario in its International Competitive Analysis, which support’s the SSMEDC’s emphasis on attracting international investment. Combining this and other strengths with an FTZ Point designation will make Sault Ste. Marie an even more attractive location for investment. A joint economic growth agreement with Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan endorses establishment of a Foreign Trade Zone Point . There is an existing Foreign Trade Zone in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The SSMEDC board of directors, City Council and numerous partners and stakeholders support the designation as an FTZ Point . This is in recognition of the potential for contributing to the strength of the regional, provincial and national economies as the only FTZ Point in Northern Ontario. 2. Private Sector Leadership and Commitment The Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation is the local economic development agency which has a private sector led board of directors. The SSMEDC has spearheaded this initiative to establish the community as a designated FTZ Point. SSMEDC worked with the Sault Ste. Marie Transportation Infrastructure Committee, a committee of City Council, as they explored the feasibility of pursuing the FTZ Point designation and expanding international trade efforts . The committee is made up of private sector representatives such as Algoma Steel, Purvis Marine and Multimodal, Cole International (customs brokers), Tenaris Algoma Tubes and more. The committee fully supports our efforts . See Appendix A for other letters of support . 3. Dedicated Governance Body It is proposed that the Sault Ste . Marie FTZ Point will have a dedicated FTZ Point Task Force as its governing body. Details of governance and organizational structure are provided below. This FTZ Point Task Force will interface with the SSMEDC as this would be the organization with operational responsibility for the FTZ Point. SSMEDC Board of Directors SSMEDC Executive Director FTZ Point Task ForceSSM International Trade Network SSMEDC Staff Figure 2: FTZ Point Overall Governance - 160 - 7 SAULT STE. MARIE FTZ POINT PROPOSAL 4. Local and Provincial Government Support to Participate in the FTZ Task Force The City of Sault Ste . Marie through its City Council is fully supportive of this initiative. SSMEDC has also worked with its provincial partners at the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines to complete our application . The FTZ designation supports provincial objectives to support jobs, grow international trade, and facilitate access to all levels of government and local service providers by offering a single window with a continuum of services to build export capacity, encourage first-time exporters and de-risk entry into international markets . SSMEDC will utilize existing staff, office space and resources to deliver FTZ programming, coordination and promotion . This designation and associated activities will complement existing investment attraction efforts, business retention and expansion work and business support services offered by SSMEDC. FTZ Task Force Participants SSMEDC Sault Ste . Marie Airport Development Corporation City of Sault Ste . Marie Export Development Canada Canada Revenue Agency Canada Border Services Agency FedNor Global Affairs Canada Sault Ste. Marie Bridge Authority Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines Transport Canada Private sector business leaders The FTZ Task Force provides the “one-window” access to key officials in order to expedite access to the five federal Foreign Trade Zone programs. The Task Force will include representatives from multiple agencies and the private sector: Although companies anywhere in Canada can apply directly to these programs, the FTZ Point Task Force provides additional value to local and potential investor companies: • The FTZ Point Task Force can promote these programs to local companies and inward investors who might otherwise not know they exist . • The Task Force can help companies that might not know how to find the right department, agency, or official for a given program. • The Task Force also provides transparency and accountability in the process of accessing program supports, and is a mechanism to follow up and possibly expedite applications in process. • The Task Force will be driven by SSMEDC and made up of federal, provincial, and local government officials from appropriate departments and agencies, business leaders, and key service providers. The Task force will meet quarterly or as needed to assist companies . • A broader ‘Trade Leadership Network’ (built around, or alongside the FTZ Point Task Force) can provide an access point for other trade support programs and private sector support services (e.g. freight forwarders, trade finance, customs brokers, legal, etc.). Figure 3: FTZ Task Force Participants - 161 - 8 SAULT STE. MARIE FTZ POINT PROPOSAL 5. Favorable Business Environment There are several factors that are indicative of a favorable business environment in Sault Ste.

Existing Investment Attraction and Marketing Through its Invest Sault Ste. Marie program, the SSMEDC focuses on positioning and marketing the community as an ideal location to establish and grow a business. The goal of this initiative is to attract business and investment by enhancing the Sault’s economic development capacity and performance in key sectors. The focus of the program is two pronged: developing a solid foundation towards creating opportunities for local business and enhancing investment attraction programming for the community. To attract external business and investment, the SSMEDC undertakes strategic marketing campaigns, attends trade shows and makes pitches to external companies and investors. Digital marketing campaigns and lead generation are focused on targeting American and European firms in advanced manufacturing, smart energy and digital steel . SSMEDC hosts foreign delegations and companies for inbound exploratory visits. There were four visits in 2018, including representatives from the Czech Republic, South Africa, Australia and the United States . Under its Invest Sault Ste. Marie program, the SSMEDC also assists existing business clients to enter export markets . In 2017, SSMEDC partnered with its sister city, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan to create a bi-national community bid and marketing campaign for Amazon’s HQ2 headquarters. The campaign garnered a significant amount of national and international media coverage. In May 2019, Noront Resources Ltd. announced they selected Sault Ste . Marie as the site of the company’s $1 billion ferrochrome production facility, due to the city’s location, cost structure and existing supply chain. The project, which will be developed over 10 years, is expected to employ up to 1,500 for construction and 300-500 full-time positions to operate the facility . The ferrochrome production facility FTZ POINT PROPOSAL will process chromite mined in the Ring of Fire (far north Ontario), and create ferrochrome which will be exported to the U .S . for the production of stainless steel. The SSMEDC expects this will further attract secondary manufacturing and new investments to the community and region . 12. Start-up Visa Program In 2018, SSMEDC’s Millworks Centre for Entrepreneurship small business incubator facility was accepted as the first hub in Northern Ontario to offer the Government of Canada’s Start-up Visa Program . The program is intended to attract foreign entrepreneurs who wish to establish new, high growth businesses in Canada that will support innovation and job creation. Under this program, Millworks can assist entrepreneurs to receive a start-up visa from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada under the business incubation stream. The program has seen considerable interest and over 100 applications since its launch. A sub-committee vets applications and moves potential candidates through the process. The Start-up Visa Program is another example of how SSMEDC is working to attract new high-potential businesses and entrepreneurs to the region. 13. Rural and Northern Immigration Program In June 2019, Sault Ste. Marie was one of 11 communities across Canada selected to take part in a federal immigration pilot project. The city now has additional tools to help address skilled labour shortages and grow the population. Along with increased immigration and a flow of skilled newcomers to the area, will come additional opportunities for new businesses and business connections with international markets . This program will likely lead to new importing/exporting opportunities, and utilization of FTZ programs. - 168 - 15 SAULT STE. MARIE IMPLEMENTING FTZ POINT Three phases for development and implementation of the FTZ Point have been identified and require different skills and leadership from different partners in Sault Ste. Marie. Overall staff leadership and coordination for these phases will be provided by Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation with the assistance of stakeholders . The three phases are as follows: PHASE 1: Preparing for the FTZ Point Designation This first phase is focused on clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the various partners, ensuring broad-based business community support, and writing the application for the FTZ Point . PHASE 2: Promoting the FTZ Point Phase two includes preparing for acceptance as a designated FTZ Point, planning and coordination of any public announcements and preparation of initial marketing and promotional materials for the program . PHASE 3: Operationalizing and Leveraging the FTZ Point Designation The most successful FTZ Points are integrated into the overall economic development efforts, leverage the FTZ Point as a differentiator, and a support for the community’s brand. Phase 3 would include launching the FTZ Point Task force, integrating the FTZ Point into marketing and business retention programs (the FTZ Point will be prominent in investment attraction materials), activating a Trade Leadership Network and potential co-marketing efforts with Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan through the bi-national investment district project. NEXT STEPS Upon notification of successful FTZ Point designation by the federal government: 1. Develop initial materials to promote the FTZ Point. The program will be highlighted on www.investsaultstemarie.com and in any regular communications with the local business community. A strong presentation will be prepared to explain the FTZ Point program and how it will positively impact the community. An information brochure will be developed that all partners and staff dealing with business clients can display and distribute. 2. Stage information sessions for the business community. These seminars will be effective for sharing information about the FTZ Point, promoting the use of the FTZ programs, and answering questions. They will also help to raise the profile of the programming . 3. Form the FTZ Point Task Force and provide staff support for implementation. The Task Force will be as prescribed in Figure 3 – Task Force Participants. Although more meetings may be needed early on, it is expected that the FTZ Point Task Force will meet approximately quarterly to review new requests to the program and to review progress on these files. 4. Integrate the FTZ Point into marketing and business retention programs. An SSMEDC staff person will become the in-house expert on FTZ programs. The FTZ Point will also be prominent in the community’s branding materials. 5. Integrate the FTZ Point into a broader Trade Leadership Network. This structure, described earlier in this report, can help identify gaps in the trade support/facilitation infrastructure, and coordinate trade facilitation programs across the broader region. 6. Engage in potential joint marketing efforts with counterparts on the U.S./Michigan side of the border. This might take the form of a Bi-national Sault Ste . Marie International Trade Gateway that both sides can market to their respective clients. 7. Undertake monitoring and evaluation of implementation progress. This will be an ongoing process and entail systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of the FTZ Point. - 169 - 16 SAULT STE. MARIE CONCLUSION Sault Ste. Marie is a city built on a long, proud history of manufacturing and harnessing the area’s abundant natural resources. The community’s legacy as a hub for industry and trade endures to this day with a highly developed advanced manufacturing sector, cutting-edge forest research, world-leading lottery and gaming expertise with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, and a rapidly growing smart energy sector . The city’s strategic location on the US border allows for easy access to shipping and transportation via the Great Lakes, Trans-Canada Highway, I-75 in the USA, rail and air . Its close proximity to the Port of Algoma (Algoma Docks), which offers a deep sea port for shipping and receiving marine cargo, provides access to global markets and 60 million North American customers within only 800 KM . Companies have access to various government incentives for manufacturing, technology, innovation, training, site acquisition and infrastructure – supporting continued growth . Sault Ste. Marie is a vibrant community with endless four-season destination activities. With affordable living and a close-knit community, employees can live in their ideal neighbourhoods while enjoying short commute times and access to plenty of family activities, providing a healthy work-life balance. Ranked 10th globally for competitiveness (KPMG 2016 Competitive Alternatives study) Sault Ste. Marie holds considerable opportunity for growth and development. The area is home to Algoma University, Sault College and Lake Superior State University (Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan), giving employers access to newly-trained professionals and skilled workers at competitive labour costs. Sault Ste. Marie, with its location on the Great Lakes, access to the U.S. market, natural resources, energy production and manufacturing has long been an international trading hub. There is so much more potential . The SSMEDC is working with our colleagues in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan to develop a Bi-National Investment District. This would be a specialized strategic rural United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) investment hub, which would promote bi-national investment in a market that has been historically distant from larger urban trade centres . The two regions are working collaboratively to plan and leverage the region’s resources as an integrated investment region. Numerous initiatives will be investigated to capture these opportunities such as the integration of supply chains in the region; the development and implantation of an integrated bi- national workforce development strategy; and the creation of an infrastructure/utility plan that is dictated by the region’s economic development strategy. Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan has an existing Foreign Trade Zone, which in the United States are specific to designated physical zones. The city’s economic development agency has applied to the U.S. federal government to have their FTZ expanded to the entire Chippewa County which would provide additional advantages for businesses county-wide. - 170 - 17 SAULT STE. MARIE CONCLUSION Through this initiative, SSMEDC will be working to build awareness, and improve the availability of information to businesses in Sault Ste. Marie, to assist them in fully capitalizing on the benefits of the Foreign Trade Zone programs and the FTZ Point designation . Significant trade (imports and exports) is happening through existing business and industry, however, the SSMEDC would like to increase trade, attract additional business and investment, and improve awareness of the government of Canada’s Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) programs. There are more than 50 local companies already involved in international trade activities, and more than 30 additional companies with interest in developing new international markets. SSMEDC intends to promote FTZ programming at regular information sessions for the business community, as well as part of other exporting and international market development seminars. Dan Hollingsworth Executive Director 705-759-5428 | d .hollingsworth@ssmedc .ca www.investsaultstemarie.com An FTZ Point designation aligns well with SSMEDC’s investment attraction strategy and will help Sault Ste. Marie and area attract even more investment, industry and opportunities . Sault Ste . Marie is the gateway to Northern Ontario and SSMEDC looks forward to leveraging this and associated activities to make a greater impact in our business community. The designation will be a valuable tool for promoting Sault Ste. Marie to inbound missions and during outbound missions in the USA, Germany and other countries . The Foreign Trade Zone Point designation is the next step for our community to be seen as a gateway to international trade . It will help put Sault Ste . Marie on the map for foreign investment. - 171 - 18 SAULT STE. MARIE Letters and Resolutions of Support Sault Ste. Marie FTZ Point Application APPENDIX A - 172 - SAULT STE.

Exporting and importing goods is not just the core of any successful business; it also helps national and regional economies grow and expand. Once countries and regions start exporting, as well as importing goods, their economies begin developing greater capacity to create economic prosperity. Importing and exporting goods is not only important for businesses; it is important for individual consumers, too. Consumers can benefit from certain products or components that are not produced locally, but are available to purchase from a business abroad. Foreign Trade Zone Point Designation is an important component of developing our local export and import infrastructure that will advance the prosperity of Canada and Sault Ste. Marie. As the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce, representing 700 members and 41% of the local workforce, we are pleased to endorse and support the Sault Ste.

At this meeting, Recommendation Report PLN 17-21 for the above-noted applications was before Committee for consideration but was referred to Council at its meeting to be held on April 26th. During the Planning & Development Committee meeting, area residents and Committee Members asked a number of questions and requested additional clarification with the proposal. Subsequent to this meeting, staff received a letter from the representative of the Coalition Group through Councillor Brenner (see Attachment #1). In an effort to provide further clarification, staff have prepared two tables providing detailed responses to the questions raised by the residents (see Attachment #2) and Committee Members (see Attachment #3). Attachments #4 to #7 are referenced in the two detailed response tables. Staff are proposing changes to the Recommended Condition of Approval Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2019-03 to ensure specific requirements are secured and appropriately addressed by the applicant through the detailed review phase (see Appendix I to this Memorandum). The specific changes include: •submit a pre-condition survey for 1942 Fairport Road (see Conditions #16); •require the applicant to construct a sidewalk along the west side of Fairport Road, from the entrance of the private road to the intersection of Glenanna Road (see Condition #36); •identify the location and height of the privacy fences (see Conditions #38 and #39); CAO 25-21 - 187 - RRevised April 21, 2021 Page 2 of 2 •include restrictions on the lots abutting the valleyland to prevent future homeowners from removing and installing gates or other openings with the chainlink fence (see Condition #41); and •require replacement trees to have a minimum caliper size (see Condition #45). Should Council endorse the draft plan of subdivision and approve the implementing zoning by-law, the applicant will commence the preparation of the detailed technical drawings, for review by City staff, in order to satisfy the conditions of draft plan approval. During this review, staff will continue to work with the applicant and the residents to address any outstanding technical matters, including but not limited to, fencing details and locations, grading, drainage, and on-site tree planting. In consideration of concerns raised at the Committee meeting, staff recommend the two recommendations in PLN 17-21 be replaced with the following: 1.That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 13/19, submitted by 10046043 Canada Inc. and C. Wang, to facilitate a residential common element condominium development consisting of 27 detached dwellings and 3 lots for detached dwellings fronting Fairport Road, on lands located on the west side of Fairport Road, south of Taplin Drive, be approved as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 17-21; and 2.That Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2019-03, submitted by 10046043 Canada Inc. and C. Wang, to establish 3 lots for detached dwellings fronting Fairport Road, a single development block to permit a residential common element condominium, an open space block, a road widening, and 2 blocks for future development, as shown on Attachment #4 to Report PLN 17-21, and the implementing revised conditions of approval, as set out in Appendix I to the Memorandum from the Director, City Development & CBO, dated April 21, 2021, be endorsed. Should any member of Council require further information, please contact Tanjot Bal at extension 2223 or Nilesh Surti at extension 2035.

Many of these issues are interrelated and resolving these concerns will in turn resolve many more. As residents we love the spacious treed feel of our neighborhood and are very protective of the Dunbarton Creek corridor and the associated wildlife. This is what we are asking Council to help us preserve. 1)Density relative to surrounding neighborhood. The Coalition would have (and still would) welcome an enclave like that developed on Voyager/Helm St. That development reflects the nature of homes immediately surrounding (abutting) it. The proposed development simply aims to maximize density. (Existing and Proposed Zoning Standards Table - attachment 7 of the Recommendation Report) Reducing density while increasing the square footage of the homes is the only way to meet the spirit of the official plan which calls on developers to protect and enhance the established neighborhood. It also mitigates some flooding risks by having more green space, provides more outdoor space for future residents and their families, improves serviceability of the neighborhood, improves parking and reduces traffic while not having a significant impact on the profitability of the project. 2)Environmental Protection - Contaminated soil. a.Parts of the applicant’s property have been identified as containing carcinogenic materials in the soil (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons – PAH’s). These locations are mapped out on the Terrapex Phase 2 ESA based on sampling between July 2107 and January 2019. (See Attachment 1) b.The majority of the contaminated fill is in the ‘buffer zone’ at a depth of up to 3 meters. This is the land that will be conveyed to the City. c.The City was made aware of bulldozer activity on June 4 of 2020. This soil relocation activity involved large portions of the property including edge of bank on the west side of the property and up to the north-western corner as is evidenced by the disappearance of much of the ‘drainage feature’. (see Attachment 2) The Phase 2 ESA is 2 years old and soil work (bulldozing) occurred after the Phase 2 ESA. d.Mr. Moss has only addressed limited remediation outside of the buffer zone. Mr. Moss and the City Planners at the April 7th Committee meeting only discussed remediation of the benign contaminants (construction debris) on the development site itself. - 198 - 3)Protection of the environmentally sensitive buffer zone. a.The Beacon Environmental Impact Study (7.1) states that the natural area must be protected from people and companion animals. b.The recommendation Report (Section 37 “Fencing” and section 48 TRCA part H) stipulate that a 1.8 metre fence be erected to protect the buffer zone from incursion. c.Section 37 also says that the owner will construct a ‘board on board’ privacy fence where new yards abut existing yards. The remainder of the fence is to be chain-link. We suggest a continuous privacy fence along the buffer to provide privacy to all yards and neighbors as well as to mitigate sound and light pollution. This will be beneficial to established and new residents as well as protect the wildlife corridor in the buffer zone. Mr. Moss stated at the April 7 th Committee meeting that this would not be done as it would require the removal of trees. Mr. Moss appears to be unaware that the fence line defining the buffer zone is 10 meters from the drip line. (see Attachment 2) d.We are concerned that the small amount of outdoor space provided for families in this proposed development will create significant motivation to violate the integrity of the fence. There are numerous examples in Pickering where owners install gates in such fences allowing them to use protected areas as part of their yard. The TRCA in its December 5th 2019 letter to Planning suggested a restrictive covenant or other legal mechanism to ensure the integrity of the fence thereby protecting the buffer zone. What enforceable mechanism will the City require? - 199 - Attachment 1 (Red is bad - PAH levels up to 100X Ontario limits, Green is OK) - 200 - Attachment 2 (Green dashed line is the ‘drip line’ and defines the ‘buffer zone’, blue dashed line is the ‘drainage feature’) - 201 - Staff’s Response to Concerns Raised by Residents and Coalition Group on April 6, 2021 # Issues Identified by Residents Response 1 Commented that the revised proposal is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and A Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) City staff have reviewed the proposal against the PPS and the Growth Plan (see PLN 17-21, sections 3.1). The PPS provides overall policy directions on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development, while protecting resources of provincial interest, public health and safety, and the quality of the natural and built environment. The PPS further states that Municipal official plans are the most important vehicle for implementation of the PPS and for achieving comprehensive, integrated and long-term planning. Official plans shall identify provincial interests and set out appropriate land use designations and policies. Various amendments have been made to the City’s Official Plan to ensure it is consistent with the PPS. Both the PPS and the Growth Plan calls for intensification within settlement areas, and the maintenance, restoration or where possible, improved linkages between natural heritage features and hydrological features. The proposed development promotes modest residential development that is consistent with density and environmental policies of the Official Plan. The proposal also ensures the long- term protection of the Dunbarton Creek and the associated valleylands. It is staff’s professional planning opinion that the proposal is consistent with the PPS and conforms to the Growth Plan, and represents an orderly development that is compatible and complements the established residential development within the immediately surrounding area. Attachment 2 - 202 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response Similarly, planning staff from the Region of Durham conclude that the proposal is consistent with the PPS and the Growth Plan (see PLN 17-21, section 2.2.1). 2 Commented that the revised proposal is not consistent with the Durham Region Official Plan and City of Pickering Official Plan City staff have reviewed the proposal against Regional and City policies (see PLN 17-21, sections 2.21, 3.2 and 3.3). The Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as “Living Areas”, which shall be developed in a compact urban form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas. The proposal conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan confirmed by Regional Planning staff in their comments. The Pickering Official Plan designates the developable portion of the subject lands as “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Areas” (Lots 1, 2 and 3, and Blocks 4 and 6) within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood. The proposed development will result in a residential density of approximately 18 units per net hectare, which falls within the permitted density range. The portion of the subject lands containing the Dunbarton Creek and associated valley lands and buffers are designated as “Open Space System – Natural Areas”. An Environmental Impact Study was completed by the applicants to determine the minimum required vegetation protection zones, and determine the site’s development limits, to prevent potential negative impacts from the proposed development on the natural heritage features. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has reviewed the EIS and agrees with the limits of Dunbarton Creek, the associated hazard lands, and associated buffers. - 203 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response 3 Commented that the revised proposal is not consistent with the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines. The Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines state that lots along Fairport Road, north of Dunbarton Creek, can only be developed for detached dwellings with minimum lot frontages of 13.5 metres. For development proposed on new internal roads, the guidelines state that only detached dwellings are permitted on lots with a minimum frontage of 12.0 metres and with consistent building setbacks with recent subdivision standards (front yard minimums of 4.5 metres and side yard minimums of 0.6/1.2 metres). The Guidelines also encourage new roads to connect with existing streets to minimize dead ends. The proposed zoning standards have been reviewed against the existing zoning provisions and the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines, and staff are of the planning opinion that the proposal is consistent with the minimum recommended built form provisions of the Development Guidelines. 4 Commented that the proposed common element condominium development is not consistent with the neighbourhood as there are no condominium developments in the area. Supportive of a subdivision, similar to Voyager Avenue and Helm Street/Grayabbey Court. This reduces the density, increases the square footage of the homes, to meet the spirit of the Official Plan, which calls on developers to protect and enhance the established neighbourhood. It also mitigates some flooding risks by having more green space, provides more outdoor space for future residents and their families, improves serviceability of the neighbourhood, improves parking and reduces traffic while not having a significant impact on the profitability of the project. Staff have thoroughly reviewed the existing neighbourhood character along Taplin Drive, Fairport Road and other subdivisions in close proximity to the subject lands to ensure the proposal will “fit in” and complement the existing pattern of development. In addition, staff have also ensured the proposal complies with the City’s Official Plan and neighbourhood policies and the Dunbarton Development Guidelines. Pickering’s Official Plan permits a maximum density of up to and including 30 units per net hectare. The proposed development will result in a density of approximately 18 units per net hectare. - 204 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response The existing density along the east side of Fairport Road between Taplin Drive and Glenanna Road is greater than this proposal, at approximately 20.2 units per hectare. The existing density along Voyager Avenue is approximately 20 units per hectare, and the existing density of the Marshall Homes development, located on the east side of Fairport Road, generally opposite Wingarden Crescent, is 19.8 units per net hectare. The proposed density conforms to the density requirements of the Official Plan and is consistent with the density of surrounding development. The immediate neighbourhood has a range of lotting fabric and built form. The 10 lots along the south side of Taplin Drive have unusually deep lot depths (approximately 100 metres) compared to the lots along the north side of Taplin Drive and the rest of the neighbourhood. These lots have lot frontages ranging between 15 metres and 41 metres and minimum side yard setbacks of 1.2 metres. Staff are of the opinion that these lots are not a fair representation of the character of the Dunbarton Neighbourhood. The lots along the west side of Fairport Road, north of the proposed development, range in lot area between 456 square metres to 1,490 square metres, range in lot frontage between 14.3 metres to 25.8 metres, and have minimum side yard setbacks of 1.2 metres. The lots along the east side of Fairport Road between Taplin Drive and Glennana Road have a minimum lot area of 350 square metres, minimum lot frontage of 12 metres and minimum side yard setbacks of 1.2 metres one side and 0.6 of a metre the other side. Staff recognize that the proposed common element condominium is situated within an established neighbourhood where all lots front a public street, with the - 205 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response exception of the Marshall Homes development noted above. However, the proposed common element will not be visible from Fairport Road, therefore it will not impact the character of the existing streetscape along Fairport Road. The proposed lots sizes, lot frontages and building setbacks are comparable with other recent developments within the neighbourhood. 5 Concerned that matters related to flooding and loss of wetland have not been adequately addressed The applicants completed an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) in 2019 to identify the natural heritage features and functions on or adjacent to the subject property, assess impacts of the proposed development, and recommend mitigation measures to ensure that the significant natural features are not adversely affected. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regulates land use activity in and adjacent to wetlands, watercourses and valleylands. TRCA and the EIS identify a watercourse and associated valleylands on the subject property. No wetland has been identified by TRCA, the EIS or by the Province. Proposed Lots 20 to 25 back onto the residential lots along the south side of Taplin Drive. Within the rear yards of these lots, there will be a swale that will capture the existing drainage from the Taplin Drive properties. This swale will direct the drainage to the storm sewer and then to the Creek. The existing drainage pattern for Fairport Road will be maintained. This development will result in no flood or drainage impacts to the existing lots along Fairport Road and Taplin Drive. - 206 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response 6 A development at this size will lead to issues with contaminated soil by moving existing contaminated soil around. In addition, the Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) does not take into consideration the site changes that occurred in June 2020 when soil was relocated at the property. The applicant has submitted a Phase 1 and Phase 2 ESA as part of this proposal. Phase 1 ESA identified 6 potential environmental concerns, and therefore, as per Provincial regulations, a Phase 2 ESA was conducted. The objective of the Phase 2 ESA was to investigate the areas of potential environmental concerns through bore hole tests and ground water samples. The study found concentrations of potential environmental concerns that exceeded safe levels in the fill and native soils on the western portion of the site (i.e. the Open Space Block). All other samples tested were below levels of concern as per Ministry guidelines, including groundwater and surface water samples. As a condition of draft approval, the applicant is required to submit a Record of Site Condition (RSC) to the Region of Durham, the City of Pickering and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (see Condition #5, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to Memorandum). A RSC can only be filed once the site is remediated (i.e., the contaminated soil within the Open Space Block is safely removed from the site and replaced with healthy soil). The City will require the RSC prior to the transfer of the Open Space Block to the City. - 207 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response 7 Commented that the proposed trees to be planted are insufficient in size to replace mature trees that were removed by the previous owner. Historically, a number of trees were removed from 1952 Fairport Road by the previous owner. 20 of these trees were within the City’s Tree Protection By-law area. A replant order was issued against the previous owner, to plant 100 trees for the 20 trees removed without a permit. This replant order is not attached to the property. However, the new landowners have agreed to replant 100 trees in a location approved by the City and TRCA. As a conditions of draft plan approval, the City requires 100 trees to be planted within the buffer zone, and the City’s minimum standards for replacement tree planting of 60 millimetre caliper deciduous trees and 1.8-metre high for coniferous trees be met (see Conditions #43 to #45, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to Memorandum). Through the detailed design stage, the applicants will be required to submit a tree preservation and replanting plan, which will be reviewed against the City’s standards. Also, since the replanting is to take place within the buffer zone, TRCA will also review the replanting against their standards. 16 Requested that the buffer area restrict access to residents Both the City’s and TRCA’s standard requirement is for a 1.8-metre high vinyl chain link fence where rear yards about a natural heritage features. A fence will be required between the residential development block and the eastern boundary of the buffer. This will restrict residential access to the valleylands and associated buffer lands. Although the requirement for fencing was included in the conservation authority’s conditions, this requirement is now explicitly integrated into the draft plan of subdivision conditions (see Condition #40, Revised Recommended - 208 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to Memorandum). Additionally, the City has included an new condition requiring the Owner to include a “Warning” clause in the Purchase and Sales Agreement and the future Condominium Declaration that a restrictive covenant be placed over POTLs 6 to 20, having the effect of prohibiting: 1) the removal of the fences; and 2) the installation of gates or other access through the fences (see Condition #41, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to the Memorandum). 8 Requested that the owner continue the board on board fence for the entire length of the property to provide privacy and as a visual barrier for wildlife using the buffer lands Both the City’s and TRCA’s standard requirement is for a 1.8-metre high vinyl chain link fence where rear yards about a natural heritage features. This is consistent with existing lots immediately to the north and south of the subject lands as well as many other developments within the City. The purpose of the chain link fence is to allow residents of those properties to back onto a natural heritage feature to enjoy the view of the Dunbarton Creek and associated valleylands. 9 Requested clarification regarding what restrictions will be included to ensure the maintenance of the fence along the Dunbarton Creek and to prohibit installation of a gate to access the open space lands The City has included an additional condition requiring the Owner to include a “Warning” clause in the Purchase and Sales Agreement and the future Condominium Declaration that a restrictive covenant be placed over POTLs 6 to 20, having the effect of prohibiting: 1) the removal of the fences; and 2) the installation of gates or other access through the fences (see Condition #41, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to the Memorandum). Staff will ensure the fence is included as the common element so - 209 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response that it must be maintained by the future condominium corporation. 10 Surface soil was relocated in the summer of 2020, including soil within the buffer zone and Mrs. Freund’s property (829 Taplin Drive). The City believes soil was only brought in for construction of the driveway, which is inaccurate. Concerned the bulldozing has deposited contaminated soil on Mrs. Freund’s property Would like to be considered in any site remediation. The applicant’s planning consultant, Brian Moss, personally attended the site on July 29, 2020, the day that staff called Mr. Moss about the activity on site. A very limited amount of fill was brought into the site to smooth out the front lawn area of 1952 Fairport. Also, some granular was provided on the driveway. There was no soil movement to the north end of the property. It occurred in the central portion of the property, and was quite limited in scope. In addition, City staff from the Engineering Department conducted a site visit on July 29, 2020 and confirmed no fill permit was required as the amount of soil brought onto the site was under the fill permit requirement. This appeared to be normal fill and no fill was placed onto any of the neighbouring properties, including 829 Taplin Drive (see photos of south limit of 829 Taplin Drive, Attachment #7 to Memorandum ) for showing no disturbance at or near the fence line). 11 Commented that any works completed within the buffer zone should not coincide with denning season (fox’s and coyote’s in the area). The applicants have advised that they will avoid works relative to the valley area during denning season, which is generally in the month of April 12 Concerned that the submitted Functional Site Servicing Report (FSSR) does not reflect revisions discussed between the applicants and Mr. Arndt, including reduction of retaining walls, and location of storm water pipe from 1966 Fairport Road to 1954 Fairport Road that drains into 1952 Fairport Road. The revised FSSR (dated December 2020) identifies the stormwater drainage pipe running diagonally from the area of 1966 Fairport Road to 1954 Fairport road (see Functional Servicing Plan, dated December 14, 2020, Attachment # 5 to Memorandum). Drainage for this pipe will enter an inlet pipe connecting to the foundation drain - 210 - # Issues Identified by Residents Response collector (FDC) pipe in the condominium development. Additionally, a grate in the retaining wall will provide for surface drainage to the FDC pipe. There will be no catch basin on Mr. Arndt’s property and thus no need for an easement Attachment #5 also shows the proposed location of retaining was adjacent to 1954 Fairport. The length of the required retaining wall has been reduced. The Consulting Engineer will coordinate all other issues with the owner of 1954 Fairport Road at detailed design stage. 13 Requested fencing along 1942 Fairport Road north property line to be increased to 2 metres in height The applicants have agreed to install a 2-metre high wood privacy fence along the south property line, between the proposed development and 1942 Fairport Road (see Condition #39, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to Memorandum). 14 Requested a no parking zone in close proximity to the intersection of Glennana Road and Fairport Road The City will install no parking signs along the west side of Fairport Road from 1952 Fairport Road south to the intersection of Glennana Road and Fairport Road. The City’s Traffic By-law will need to be updated to reflect this change. The applicant has no objections. 15 Commented that water pressure on the street has decreased over time and are concerned that this development will further decrease the water pressure The Water pressure in this area (Zone 2) is between 657 kPa and 667 kPa, which exceeds the amount required (550 kPa for a pressure reducing valve). Residents should contact the Region of Durham Works Department to have a pressure test done if they are concerned about their individual water pressure. - 211 - Staff’s Response to Questions Raised Planning & Development Committee on April 6, 2021 # Issues identified by Planning & Development Committee Response 1 Requested additional information regarding a comparison with the condominium development at 1815 Fairport Road (parking, number of units, density, zoning standards) The proposed condominium development at 1950 and 1952 Fairport Road has similar development standards to the existing Marshal Homes condominium development at 1815 Fairport Road. The Marshall Homes development is 1.59 hectares in size and has 31 lots with detached dwellings (which is a density of 19.5 units per net hectare). For the proposal at 1950 and 1952 Fairport Road, Block 4, which is the condominium block, is 1.53 hectares in size and proposes 27 lots for detached dwellings (which is a density of 17.6 units per net hectare). Both the Marshall Homes development and the proposal at 1950 and 1952 Fairport Road have minimum lot areas of 350 square metres and minimum lot frontages of 12 metres. The Marshall Homes development provides 10 visitor parking spaces (0.3 visitor parking spaces per unit) and the proposal provides 12 visitor parking spaces (0.44 visitor parking spaces per unit). The two developments also have similar setbacks, including 4.5 metre front yard setback, 1.2 metres and 0.6 of a metre side yard setbacks, 7.5 metre rear yard setbacks, and minimum flankage side yard of 3.0 metres. In addition, the proposed lot coverage and maximum building height are aligned. Attachment 3 - 212 - # Issues identified by Planning & Development Committee Response The proposed condominium development at 1950 and 1952 Fairport Road will result in a development similar to the condominium development located at 1815 Fairport Road. 2 Requested clarification if there or has there ever been a wetland or marsh present at 1952 Fairport Road? Does the conservation authority have any concerns with the wetland? TRCA reviewed some historical imagery available and it appears as though 1952 Fairport Road was cleared and the dwelling was built over 35 years ago. The historical air photo from 1981 shows a wetland may have been present. However, the feature is no longer present in imagery from 1988. TRCA has advised that they have no concerns with the possible historical wetland on the site. TRCA mapping does not show a wetland being present on this site and no wetland was observed during the site visit conducted on November 18, 2019. In addition, the EIS did not identify a wetland on the site. 3 Requested what is the proposed use of the 3-metre wide parcel fronting Taplin? The applicant has advised that their intention is to convey the 3-metre wide parcel from the subject site to Taplin Drive to the adjacent owners at no cost, including all legal costs. However, the applicant cannot warrant whether these owners have an interest in acquiring the parcel of land. - 213 - # Issues identified by Planning & Development Committee Response 4 Requested who will own the “triangle shaped” open space lands on the west side of the Dunbarton Creek? The entirety of Block 5, open space lands, will be transferred to the City of Pickering for long term protection. As other lands adjacent to Dunbarton Creek have been redeveloped, the portion of the lands containing the Creek and associated valleylands have been transferred to the City. For this reason, the City is requesting that the environmental lands (Block 5) be conveyed to the City to ensure consistent ownership of all environmental lands. 5 Requested confirmation on the number of trees to be replanted and the size of such trees to compensate for the mature trees which were historically removed from the site? As a conditions of draft plan approval, the City requires 100 trees to be planted within the buffer zone, and the City’s minimum standards for replacement tree planting of 60 millimetre caliper deciduous trees and 1.8-metre high for coniferous trees be met (see Conditions #43 to #45, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to Memorandum). 6 Requested staff investigate possible future upgrades to Bonita Park There are no immediate plans or budget to do any work within Bonita Park. However, if the community is requesting the City to consider upgrades to this park, staff can look into what opportunities there are for any upgrades and possibly engage the area residents before determining the final cost and including it in a future budget. A formal directive from Council is required to commence this review. - 214 - # Issues identified by Planning & Development Committee Response 7 Requested clarification regarding the extension of municipal sidewalk along the west side of Fairport Road, south to the intersection of Glennana and Fairport. As a condition of draft plan approval, the applicants will be required to construct a sidewalk in front of 1950 and 1952 Fairport Road, connecting to the proposed sidewalk along the private road (see Condition #36, Revised Recommended Conditions of Draft Approval of Subdivision, Appendix I to Memorandum). This will allow pedestrians to safely cross at the intersection of Glennana Road and Fairport Road. The City will paint pedestrian cross hatching at this 3-way stop. - 215 - Attachment 4Attachment 4- 216 - C / L C R E E K E S T IM A T E ON L Y C / L C R E E K 12345 25 27 6 7 14 9 10 11 12 13 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 8 22 23 24 26 FAIRPORT ROADGLENANNA ROAD ³ 'A''A' 'B' 'B' ³ CANDEVCON LIMITED KEY PLAN KEY PLAN E17043 1950 & 1952 FAIRPORT RD SERVICING PLAN FUNCTIONAL FSP SITE NOTES: LEGEND Attachment 5 - 217 - Attachment 6 Bal, Tanjot From: Brian Moss <bmoss@sympatico.ca> Sent: Tuesday, April 6, 2021 12:01 PM To: brianfe Cc: Bal, Tanjot; Surti, Nilesh; Rose, Catherine Subject: SP-2019-02, CP-2019-04, A 13/19 - Second Submission Brian, I have read your requests of Committee (for April 6, 2021) relative to the adjacent proposal and I would comment as follows; 1. 2m fence is fine with applicant, condition requires 1.8m 2. Pre-condition survey of your home is acceptable 3. Covers structure (wall cracks and so on), the fence line and legal lot line are somewhat out of alignment on the boundary, the final fence line would be on the legal property line and avoid any key trees (by having short break). 4. The pre-condition survey will be made available to you 5. Water pressure (regional water department issue) 6. Once the internal road is constructed and available for travel, we would support all trades parking on site (rather than using Fairport Road) 7. The bylaw wording is standard. TRCA and the City likely do not see a walking trail along Dunbarton Creek in this area. Your amendment is fine with the applicant if so desired. We look forward to working with you on tree preservation and fencing once we are at that stage. If you wish to speak, I am available this afternoon.

That the additional fee proposal and project costs as submitted by TS Engineering Inc. in the gross amount of $84,750.00 (HST included), and the net amount of $76,320.00 (net HST rebate) for the increase in scope of work the replacement of the backup power generator at the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex (CHDRC), and associated costs, be accepted; 2. That the total estimated consulting costs including the amount referenced in recommendation 1 above, in the amount of $124,819.00, as presented in Table 2, be approved; 3. That the Director, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to finance the total net consulting costs of $124,819.00 by undertaking an internal loan for period not exceeding 5 years, and this source be revised up to 100 per cent funding through a transfer from the Federal Gas Tax Reserve Fund if deemed eligible by the Association Municipalities of Ontario; and, 4. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary action to give effect hereto. Executive Summary: TS Engineering Inc. was retained by the City in December 2020 under PO 700753 to develop design and construction documents for replacement of the existing backup power generator at the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex (CHDRC). The existing generator was installed in 2002 and has reached the end of its serviceable life. Backup power is essential for sustained operation of the building, including maintaining life safety systems, critical lighting, preserving ice in arenas and for the HVAC systems. It has been determined that greater generator capacity than originally envisioned is required to address growing demand and to improve functionality of CHDRC’s banquet hall as an emergency heating and cooling shelter. This will necessitate an increase in generator size and capacity from 100 kW to 750 kW. Higher equipment capacity also increased its size, requiring that it be mounted outside of the building, incurring additional costs. For this reason, an additional fee proposal and project has been submitted by TS Engineering Inc. and is recommended to be approved by way of this report. - 221 - CS 20-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Request for Additional Funding for Consulting Services CHDRC Generator Replacement Page 2 Financial Implications: 1.

Due to the increase in scope, the award to TS Engineering Inc. will exceed $50,000 and in accordance with the Purchasing Policy, item 10.03 (c), consulting and professional services above $50,000 is subject to the additional approval of Council. The initiating Director shall submit the Report to Council to obtain approval. - 222 - CS 20-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Request for Additional Funding for Consulting Services CHDRC Generator Replacement Page 3 In accordance with the Purchasing Policy item 10.03 (b), the original award of PO 700753 in the amount of $47,660.00 (HST extra) to TS Engineering Inc. was previously approved by the Manager, Supply & Services, (Acting) Director, Community Services, Treasurer and the Chief Administrative Officer. Council approval is being sought at this time for the increase in the total net project cost amount of $76,320.00 in order to address an increase in the scope of work and associated costs. The estimated total consulting costs presented in the report will be financed by an internal loan. Staff will be in contact with the Association Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) to determine if these costs can be either funded 100 per cent or partially by Federal Gas Tax (FGT) funding. The City’s established business process is to seek approval from AMO regarding the use of FGT funding. Discussion: The existing 100kW backup power generator at CHDRC was installed in 2002 and supplies only a small number of life safety systems throughout the recreation complex. The unit has reached the end of its serviceable life. Essential components for its ongoing maintenance are no longer readily available. The City retained TS Engineering Inc. in December 2020 to review existing system capacity and demand, including projecting for current and future needs not covered by the existing generator. A peak demand design load was confirmed and will require a 750 kW generator in order to fully accommodate all identified needs. The most significant source of increase are critical heating and cooling systems that must be on backup power for CHDRC to serve as a viable emergency warming and cooling centre. Provision has been included for the addition of a second generator in the future, in a temporary or permanent capacity, in order to improve overall infrastructure capacity and futureproof the system, including built-in climate resiliency. The larger unit will be too large to fit inside the building, where the current generator is located. It will be located outside, in the back-of-house area where the main electrical and mechanical plant for CHDRC are directly accessible. An air and noise assessment will be needed to ensure that the decibel level of the generator is within thresholds set by applicable standards, and to minimize disruption to neighbouring buildings and properties. These additional services significantly increase the original scope of work, which was based on replacement of the existing interior generator. Upon careful examination of the received proposal and relevant documents received, the Community Services Department recommends approval of the proposed increases in consulting costs for replacement of the backup power generator at CHDRC, in the gross amount of $84,750.00 (HST included), and the net amount of $76,320.00 (net HST rebate).

That the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce Terms of Reference, as amended by the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce in Attachment 1, be endorsed by Council; and, 2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: At the Council meeting of August 24, 2020, Council endorsed Report CS 27-20 (Attachment 2) through Resolution #408/20 which adopted the draft Terms of Reference for the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce (PABRT), as recommended by the Cultural Advisory Committee. This document contained a provision that makes the newly formed PABRT responsible to propose amendments to the draft Terms of Reference, should they see it, for Council’s consideration. At the Council meeting of January 25, 2021, Council endorsed Confidential Report CS 12-21 through Resolution #513/21 which appointed recommended community representatives to the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce.Since then, the PABRT has hosted three meetings to, in part, review and revise the Terms of Reference document. Additionally, PABRT also determined a taskforce structure, discussed stipend, appointed an Executive, identified key areas for the action plan, set out taskforce sub-committees, and identified a meeting schedule. At this time, the PABRT is prepared to propose the amended Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce Terms of Reference as set out in Attachment 1 for Council consideration and endorsement. Financial Implications: An amount of $25,000 has been allocated in account 2711.5350.0004 of the 2021 Current Budget for expenses associated with the initiatives of the taskforce. The PABRT will be responsible to provide a proposed Action Plan with related budget expenditures for Council approval each year, and to report quarterly to Council on the progress of the plan. An amount of $20,000 is available in account 2711.1100.0000 to fund the remuneration of taskforce members as proposed by PABRT in the Terms of Reference (Attachment 1 – section 8). - 225 - CS 22-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce Terms of Reference Page 2 Discussion: At the Council Meeting of August 24, 2020, the Anti-Black Racism Action Plan of the Cultural Advisory Committee (CAC) outlined in Report CS 27-20 was approved by Council. This Action Plan was developed so that relevant data can be collected, resources can be identified, and community consultation can be completed and shared with the PABRT. To that end, the CAC identified a PABRT Preparatory Sub-Committee who took on this effort. On February 27, 2021, the PABRT Preparatory Sub-committee attended a special meeting of the CAC to hand over the results of their work to the newly appointed PABRT.

Executive Summary: City staff has identified a three-pronged approach to address racism, diversity and inclusion within Pickering which includes: 1.Establish the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce in 2020 that will create an action plan to identify and address issues of anti-black racism in Pickering. This will be a community-led initiative. 2.Complete the City of Pickering Diversity & Inclusion Plan in 2021 that will review the City of Pickering’s organizational policies and practices and set out recommendations and action items over a 10 year timeframe. This will be a City-staff led initiative. 3.Hire a consultant in 2021 to facilitate the completion of the City’s Diversity & Inclusion Plan and conduct an unbiased, third party review of The Corporation of the City of Pickering. This will be a City-staff led initiative. The City’s three-pronged approach supported, in principle, by Council through Resolution #375/20 at the Council meeting of July 27, 2020 (see Attachment 3), will serve to identify and address anti- black racism in our community through both a corporate perspective (which focuses inward on our organization) and a community perspective (which focuses outward on our community); providing for robust and comprehensive outcomes. The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s adoption of the terms of reference for the new Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce (PABRT); and seek Council’s endorsement of the Anti- Black Racism Action Plan of the Cultural Advisory Committee (CAC). - 234 - CS 27-20 August 24, 2020 Subject: Pickering Anti-Black Racism Initiatives Financial Implications: With respect to the work of the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce (PABRT), the Director, Finance & Treasurer has confirmed funding of $25,000 from Account 2711.2392.0000 (Consulting & Professional Services) in 2020. The PABRT will be responsible to provide an action plan with related budget expenditures for Council approval each year, and to report quarterly to Council on program measures. With respect to the City’s Diversity & Inclusion Plan, funds of approximately $75,000 will be added by City staff to the 2021 Current Budget for Council’s consideration and approval (partially funded by Development Charges). Discussion: The City of Pickering is a growing community, rich in diversity. The demographic changes Pickering has experienced will be compounded with the future growth of Seaton. Municipalities, such as ours, must recognize the importance of creating a Diversity & Inclusion Plan to ensure that the needs of our diverse community are understood and supported. Diversity and inclusion relates to matters of multiculturalism, accessibility, economic status, gender, sexual orientation, health and age. Diversity, inclusion and racism are topics that require the engagement, advice, and guidance of subject experts, stakeholders, community leaders and residents to fully realize and achieve meaningful outcomes. Successful implementation of diversity and inclusion strategies requires full consideration and support of an engaged leadership team, workforce and community. As such, City staff and the Cultural Advisory Committee (CAC) have reviewed this topic and have identified a three-pronged approach to address immediate needs, and create long-term results which includes the following: 1. Establish a Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce in 2020 who will create an action plan to identify and address issues of anti-black racism in Pickering. Once struck, the PABRT will be required to develop a plan and measure their progress over a defined period of time and report back to Council, every three months. PABRT will be community-led initiative. 2. Complete a Diversity & Inclusion Plan in 2021 that will review the City of Pickering’s organizational policies and practices which will provide a critical analysis of hiring practices (including recruitment and hiring), training programs, service delivery, program delivery, etc., and bring forward meaningful recommendations over a 10 year timeframe to ensure ongoing inclusivity, access and representation within our organization. This is a City staff- led initiative. 3. Hire a consultant in 2021 to facilitate the completion of the Diversity & Inclusion Plan and conduct an unbiased, third party review of our organization which will include a comprehensive consultation program. This is a City staff-led initiative. This approach is responsive to the feedback and directions received from Council, stakeholders, and residents in the Council adopted Cultural Strategic Plan (2014). The Cultural Strategic Plan identifies diversity and inclusion initiatives as mid-term goals of the plan, and led to the formation - 235 - CS 27-20 August 24, 2020 Subject: Pickering Anti-Black Racism Initiatives of the Cultural Advisory Committee which consists of an expert panel of community residents and stakeholders. 1. Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce (PABRT) – Community-Led Initiative: The current global situation following the death of George Floyd, and the subsequent global call to action, has provided an immediate need to engage the community in meaningful change, and requires leadership and action from the City. From the outset, Council has taken an active role in advocating for action on Anti-Black Racism, releasing a public statement of solidarity, commissioning a display outside of City Hall, and providing support for local residents, and organizations. At their Advisory Committee meeting of June 16, 2020, the Cultural Advisory Committee (CAC) discussed what should be done in Pickering to effect positive change for black residents in light of recent incidents and the Anti-Black Racism movement. Members of the CAC believe they are uniquely positioned to take this on and support the striking of a Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce. The CAC envisions this taskforce to be comprised of representatives of the black community in Pickering, as well as relevant stakeholders and community leaders; along with the Mayor, and staff administrative and operational support from Community Services and Human Resources. To that end, the CAC have prepared the Terms of Reference for the PABRT which includes committee composition, recruitment/appointment process and recommended areas of focus (see Attachment 1). The CAC has also developed an Action Plan so that relevant data can be collected, resources can be identified, and community consultation can be completed in the coming months and shared with the PABRT, once struck (see Attachment 2). To complete the work of the action plan, the CAC has identified PABRT Preparatory Sub-Committee led by Esther Forde, Celia Cooper, Nikosa Holland and Michelle Francis. To solicit public input on the issue of black racism in Pickering, the Preparatory Sub-Committee also plans to administer a survey and will provide that information to the newly formed PABRT to help guide and support their work. That said, the draft survey will first be reviewed and finalized, with the support of a professional consultant in the field of anti-black racism, before implementation. As per section 7 of the PABRT Terms of Reference entitled “Appointment Process”, the Preparatory Sub-Committee will complete a recruitment and applicant screening process bringing forward recommended applicants for appointment by Council. Once struck in late 2020, PABRT will be responsible to propose amendments to the Terms of Reference for Council’s consideration (should they feel it is required), develop a PABRT action plan for Council’s approval and report back to Council quarterly on progress to the plan. PABRT will be community-led where City staff will act as a liaison providing operational and organizational support. The PABRT will work in partnership with the Pickering community, Durham-based organizations, businesses, stakeholders, and the City: - 236 - CS 27-20 August 24, 2020 Subject: Pickering Anti-Black Racism Initiatives to identify barriers and areas of opportunity, in order to enhance the shared experience and opportunities afforded to black residents; to identify and coordinate opportunities for stakeholder and community engagement; to provide expert input and action on matters relating to the provision of Anti-Black Racism initiatives within the community; and, to celebrate and promote the black community, and promote black culture. Clearly the work of the PABRT will begin conversations, and provide a foundation from which the Diversity & Inclusion Plan process will benefit. The Plan will be invaluable in meeting the needs of our residents and removing barriers to their full participation. These immediate actions will form a basis for the larger conversations on Diversity & Inclusion within the City which was already planned by staff to commence in 2021. The approach will ensure that the City is engaging the community, supporting and providing advocacy to like-minded organizations, celebrating cultural diversity, and providing immediate action and leadership with relation to Anti-Black Racism. These actions will lay the groundwork for successful development and implementation of the full Diversity & Inclusion Plan. 2. City of Pickering Diversity & Inclusion Plan – Corporate Driven Initiative: The Diversity & Inclusion Plan has been included within the most recent version of the City’s Development Charges background study. Subject to Council’s approval of the 2021 Current Budget, staff will proceed to award the Request For Proposal (RFP) in 2021 after engaging in a competitive procurement process. The strategic framework of the Plan will include the development and implementation of diversity and inclusion practices in the City of Pickering: Employment opportunities, policies and practices (recruitment, development, performance management, training, retention and succession planning); Programs and services (delivery models); Community and civic engagement; and, Neighbourhood strengthening initiatives. The 10 year Plan will identify recommendations to ensure all residents have access to employment opportunities, programs, services and feel welcomed in Pickering. It is important that all our residents are assured inclusivity, access and representation in the way we conduct business. This is a City staff-led initiative, which has been identified as a priority by both the community and Council. 3. Hire A Consultant – Corporate Driven Initiative: A corporate working group comprised of a diverse cross section of the organization was assembled in February 2020 to prepare an RFP to secure the services of a consultant who can assist the City with the completion of the Diversity & Inclusion Plan. Staff are now researching examples of best practices related to such RFPs in preparation for meetings which will commence in August of 2020; where staff will collaborate to prepare the RFP for release in the fall. It is - 237 - CS 27-20 August 24, 2020 Subject: Pickering Anti-Black Racism Initiatives anticipated that a consultant will be selected by years end so they may commence work early in 2021. The hiring of a consultant is very important as it provides for an unbiased assessment of the City’s organizational and operational practices by an independent third party. This consultant will consider global and nation-wide best practices, personal accounts/perspectives from staff and customers/residents (through a robust consultation process), and identify the gaps before making recommendations for necessary corporate changes. This is an essential step in creating a fulsome Diversity & Inclusion Plan. The City’s planned three-pronged approach to identify and address anti-black racism in our community, through both a corporate perspective (which focuses inward on our organization) and a community perspective (which focuses outward on our community), is anticipated to provide robust and comprehensive outcomes.

Diversity & Inclusion Plan Subject to Council’s approval of the 2021 Current Budget, the City of Pickering will create and implement a Diversity and Inclusion Plan in 2021. The City of Pickering is a growing community, rich in diversity. The demographic changes Pickering has experienced will be compounded with the future grown of Seaton. Municipalities, such as ours, must recognize the importance of creating a Diversity and Inclusion Plan to ensure that the needs of our diversifying community are understood and met. Diversity and inclusion relates to matters of multiculturalism, accessibility, economic status, gender, sexual orientation , health and age. The Plan will be invaluable in meeting the needs of our residents and removing barriers for their full participation. The strategic framework of the Plan will include the development and implementation of diversity and inclusion practices in the City of Pickering: Employment opportunities and practices (recruitment, hiring, training); Programs and services (delivery models); Community and civic engagement; and Neighbourhood strengthening initiatives. The 10-year Plan will identify recommendations to ensure all residents have a ccess to employment opportunities, programs, services and feel welcomed in Pickering. It is important that all our residents are assured inclusivity, access and representation in the way we conduct business. This is a City staff led initiative. - 252 - 2. Hire a Consultant A corporate City staff team has been assembled since February 2020 to prepare an RFP to secure the services of a consultant who can assist the City with the completion of the Diversity and Inclusion Plan. This approach is very important as it provides for an unbiased assessment of the City’s organizational and operational practices by an independent third party consultant. This consultant will consider global and nation-wide best practices, personal accounts/perspectives from staff and customers/residents (through a robust consultation program), and identify the gaps making recommendations for necessary corporate changes. The Diversity and Inclusion Plan has been included within the most recent version of the City’s Development Charges (DC) background study. Subject to Council’s approval of the 2021 Current Budget, staff will proceed to award the RFP after engaging in a competitive procurement process in 2021. 3. Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce At their advisory committee meeting of June 16, 2020, the Cultural Advisory Committee (CAC) discussed what should be done in Pickering to effect positive change for black residents in light of recent incidents and the anti-black racism movement. Members of the CAC felt that they were uniquely positioned to take this on and supports the striking of a Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce. As per the CAC, this taskforce is envisioned to be comprised of representatives of the black community in Pickering, as well as relevant stakeholders and community leaders. The CAC, with the support of designated City staff, will prepare the terms of reference for this taskforce to include committee composition, selection and recommended areas of focus. Community Services staff will bring this information back to Council, for their consideration and approval, by way of a report anticipated for the August 10, 2020 Executive Committee meeting agenda. The Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce will be a community driven initiative where City staff will act as a liaison providing operational and organizational support. The City’s planned three pronged approach to identify and address anti-black racism in our community, through both a corporate perspective (which focuses inward on our organization) and a community perspective (which focuses outward on our community), is anticipated to provide robust and comprehensive outcomes. This summary of the City’s planned three pronged approach will form part of staff’s report anticipated for the August 10, 2020 Executive Committee meeting agenda; thereby, becoming part of the public record. :mc July 10, 2020 Page 2 of 2 Anti-Black Racism Strategy - 253 - Report to Council Report Number: ENG 09-21 Date: April 26, 2021 From: Richard Holborn Director, Engineering Services Subject: Asphalt Resurfacing on Various City Streets - Tender No. T2021-1 - File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1.

That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: Balsdon Park, which was originally constructed in the early 1960’s, was recognized as being underutilized and no longer adequately serviced the neighbourhood. For this reason, staff prepared a master plan for the park based on the comments received through a public consultation process between November 2017 and June 2018. The features of the proposed master plan included a lit pathway system, a shade structure and new children’s play area that would be visible from the park entrance, a leash-free area for dogs and general open space for informal play. The Balsdon Park Master Plan was endorsed by Council on December 2, 2019 (Report ENG 11-19, Resolution #189/19). As part of the 2021 Parks Capital Budget, funds were approved for the Balsdon Park Master Plan Implementation. Separate from Tender T-2021-7, Request for Quotation Q2021-30 for the Design, Supply and Installation of Playground Equipment was issued. Submissions have been received and are being evaluated by staff. Tender T2021-7 includes the balance of the site features approved in the park master plan. The costs for detailed park design including electrical engineering and geotechnical investigations were approved in the 2017 Parks Capital Budget as part of the park master plan process. - 271 - ENG 10-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Balsdon Park Reconstruction, Tender No. T2021-7 Page 2 Tender No. T2021-7 was issued on Thursday, March 11, 2021 and closed on Thursday, April 1, 2021 with 16 bidders responding.

As reflected in Table 3 above, the draw for this component will be directly from the Public Benefits Reserve Fund. Discussion: Balsdon Park, located generally on the north east side of Liverpool Road and Krosno Boulevard was constructed in the early 1960’s. The park, although accessible by two entrances on Krosno Boulevard and one on Naroch Boulevard, is practically “land locked” and is not visible from the street. The existing baseball diamond is no longer programmed and the play structures that were vandalized due to their lack of visibility from the street many years ago were removed. In effort to revitalize the park, staff undertook the process to create a park master plan. A new park plan was developed based on comments received from area residents through an online survey and several open houses held in 2017 and 2018. The final Balsdon Park Master Plan was endorsed by Council on December 2, 2019 (Report ENG 11-19, Resolution #189/19). As part of the 2021 Parks Capital Budget, funds were approved for the Balsdon Park Reconstruction project. Tender No. T2021-7 includes the construction of the main features approved in the park master plan. A separate Request for Quotation for the Design, Supply and Installation of Playground Equipment was issued under Quotation No. Q2021-30. An allowance of $40,000.00 for this equipment has been included in the total net project cost. An allowance has also been included for the supply and installation of several dog agility components that are still to be selected. The costs for detailed park design including electrical engineering and geotechnical investigations were covered under the 2017 Parks Capital Budget as part of the park master plan process. - 273 - ENG 10-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Balsdon Park Reconstruction, Tender No. T2021-7 Page 4 The work to be completed in the Balsdon Park Reconstruction Project is the implementation of the park master plan and includes the following items: • removal of the existing baseball diamond backstop and infield area; • removal and replacement of the existing asphalt pathway running between Naroch Boulevard and the western Krosno Boulevard park entrance; • construction of a new asphalt path to connect the Naroch Boulevard park entrance and the eastern Krosno Boulevard park entrance; • replacement and expansion of the existing pathway lighting system with new poles and LED lights; • relocation of the children’s playground area to near the Naroch Boulevard park entrance; • construction of a dog off-leash area; • installation of pergola shade structures adjacent to the children’s playground area and in the dog off-leash area; • installation of new site furniture; and, • tree planting around the site.

Susan Cassel Copy: Chief Administrative Officer Director, Finance & Treasurer Attachment #4 to Report # ENG 10-21 - 281 - Report to Council Report Number: FIN 06-21 Date: April 26, 2021 From: Stan Karwowski Director, Finance & Treasurer Subject: 2021 Tax Rates and Final Tax Due Dates - File: F-4200-001 Recommendation: 1. That Report FIN 06-21 of the Director, Finance & Treasurer regarding the 2021 tax rates be received; 2. That the 2021 tax rates for the City of Pickering be approved as contained in Schedule “A” of the By-law attached hereto; 3. That the tax levy due dates for the Final Billing be June 28, 2021 and September 28, 2021 excluding the industrial, multi-residential and commercial realty tax classes; 4. That the attached By-law be approved; 5. That the Director, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to make any changes or undertake any actions necessary to comply with Provincial regulations including altering due dates or final tax rates to ensure that the property tax billing process is completed; and 6. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: Adoption of the above Recommendations and the attached By-law provides for the approval of tax rates required to raise the levy approved in the 2021 Current Budget of the City of Pickering and to levy taxes for School Boards and for the Region of Durham. They also set the property tax final due dates for residential property classes. The final due dates for non-residential (commercial, industrial, etc.) tax classes will be set later this year. Financial Implications: Adoption of the Recommendations and enacting the By-law will allow the City to bill the Final 2021 levy for all properties except for the industrial, commercial and multi-residential tax classes, which will be dealt with later this year. Passing of the By-law will assist the City of Pickering in meeting its financial obligations and reducing any borrowing costs. This levy also raises taxes for the Region of Durham and the School Boards. - 282 - FIN 06-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: 2021 Tax Rates and Final Tax Due Dates Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ Discussion: The 2021 final tax billing process will consist of two separate components: 1. Residential and residential-related (farm, managed forest) properties; and, 2. Commercial, industrial, and multi-residential realty classes. Later this year, a report will be presented to Council asking for Council’s approval to bill the non-residential tax classes. The non-residential tax classes are subject to tax capping and Pickering’s staff, in conjunction with the other lower tier municipal tax staff and the Region’s finance staff, will be working on the tax capping calculations during the next few months. City’s Net Tax Levy and Tax Rate Increase The City’s 2021 Budget provided for an average property tax increase of 1.45 per cent and was adopted by Council through Finance Department Report FIN 05-21. The 2021 Council approved a budget levy of $70,841,695 plus assessment growth of $2,037,000 which translates into a total property tax levy of $72,878,695. The Region’s tax increase for Pickering is 1.98 per cent and the School Board increase is zero, resulting in a total average residential increase of approximately 1.54 per cent. The property tax rates are calculated based on the budgets of both Pickering and Durham Region. The tax rate itself is defined under section 306 of the Municipal Act and it is to be calculated to eight decimal points. Tax Due Date Instalments Recommendation 3 sets the due dates for the payment of residential taxes at June 28, 2021 and September 28, 2021. Property Tax Deferral Program Update The Property Tax Section, with Council approval (FIN 02-21) implemented a property tax deferral program. The program allowed residential property owners the ability to pay the regular tax payments for February 2021 and April 2021 by the end of May 2021. This is a 90 day deferral for the first payment and a 30 day d eferral for the second payment. For the past two months, the program has been promoted in the local newspaper, social media channels, local billboards, brochures, arrears notice and our website. At the time of writing this report, there have been 24 applications submitted and all 24 applications have been approved (which is a 100 percent acceptance rate). Last year, the City provided a two month property tax deferral as it related to the April instalment. This year’s program provided a more focused approach whereby those in need received the financial assistance and the deferral period was longer. Another positive aspect regarding this year’s program is that Pickering has now developed a website based property tax deferral program that can adopted and or modified for any future need. In - 283 - FIN 06-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: 2021 Tax Rates and Final Tax Due Dates Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ other words, we have a new time tested financial tool in our tool box to provide financial assistance if and when the need arises. Communication Strategy In addition to mailing the tax bills, the City will advertise the tax instalment due dates on the City’s webpage, the Pickering News Advertiser and any other communication channels deemed appropriate by the Director, Finance & Treasurer, prior to each tax due date. Other Recommendations 2 and 3 provide for the levying of all tax rates on all classes of property, except for the non-residential properties. For non-residential properties, the property taxes will be billed at a later date because the “claw back” percentages have not yet been determined. Staff will bring a separate report to Council for the non-residential billing later this year. Staff’s preliminary estimate for the final non -residential tax due date is for the end of September.

A portion of the funds will be required for the purchase and installation of this equipment. Discussion: This pumper rescue apparatus, as approved in the 2020 Capital Budget and bid under Q2020-5, will be primarily utilized to respond to emergency incidents throughout the City that include structure fires, automobile accidents, medical emergencies, industrial alarms, and specialized rescues. It is designed to be highly maneuverable, carry 1900 liters of water, and has a pump capacity rating of 7,000 liters per minute. The estimated time to have this apparatus built and in-service is 18 months after the successful respondent is awarded. This time allows Pickering Fire Services’ and Operations staff to carefully oversee the construction of the apparatus and ensure it is fully operational before it is deemed ready for service. This includes installing any additional tool mounts and equipment mounts not included in the purchasing contract, and training Operations and Fire Services staff on the apparatus’ maintenance and use. When the apparatus is ready for service it will be added to the Pickering Fire Services vehicle fleet. It will replace City vehicle 532, the 2005 Smeal pumper rescue apparatus which is past it’s 15 year service life and is overdue for replacement. Major tools and equipment required for purchase include Hurst eDraulic rescue tools, fire hose, nozzles, and a thermal imaging camera. Specifications for this apparatus were developed based on consultation with Purchasing staff, City Operations staff, the Fire Services Joint Health and Safety Committee, and Training Division staff. Submissions have been received to the quotation call, which closed on March 3, 2021 with two respondents submitting quotations for this project. Fire Services staff have reviewed the previous work experience of Safetek, the references provided and the bid is deemed acceptable. Upon careful examination of all quotations and relevant documents received, the Fire Services Department recommends the acceptance of the RFQ submitted by Safetek for RFQ No. Q2020-5 in the amount of $1,045,551.00 (HST included) and that the total net project cost of $999,554.00 be approved.

White International Inc. – Filming Backlot - File: S-4240 Recommendation: 1. That Report PLN 20-21 from the Director, City Development & CBO regarding a Lease Agreement for Temporary Use of City Property at 3800 Sideline 32 be received for information; 2. That the City of Pickering enter into a Lease Agreement with William F. White International Inc., for the period October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, with the option to renew the lease for 2 additional terms of 2 years each; 3. That the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute the Lease Agreement between the City of Pickering and William F. White International Inc. in substantially the form as attached to this report, subject to revisions as may be acceptable to the City Solicitor and the Director, City Development & CBO; and 4. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: On December 7, 2020, Council gave approval for the City to enter into a lease agreement with a television production company, for temporary use of vacant, City owned lands located at 3800 Sideline 32. This agreement provides for the temporary use of the property to develop a filming backlot for exclusive use by that television production, with an initial term ending on September 30, 2021, and an option to renew the lease for a 2nd year, from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The current television production will continue to undertake their filming activities on the backlot until the end of the first year of their lease on September 30, 2021. However, the production company has now entered into negotiations with William F. White International Inc. (“WFW ”) for the sale of all tangible assets and temporary built form in place on the filming backlot. In turn, WFW has expressed their interest in entering into a lease agreement with the City of Pickering commencing October 1, 2021, for the purpose of managing the filming backlot for an extended period of time. WFW would continue to provide production services to the current television production, and then for other productions, until such time as the City begins implementing its plan to develop a District Park at this site. - 296 - Report PLN 20-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Temporary Filming Backlot – 3800 Sideline 32 Page 2 For this reason, the duration of the proposed lease agreement with WFW (see Lease Agreement, Appendix I), is from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, with an option of 2 further renewal terms of 2 years each, providing for a potential termination date of December 31, 2030. The lease agreement would provide WFW exclusive use of the lands, for management of a filming backlot, providing service to various filming projects, as may be contracted for by WFW over the course of the term of the lease. Despite the various productions, WFW will remain the primary on-site service provider on the backlot. The City’s Director, Engineering Services has confirmed that the timing and ability to develop the site as a District Park would not be affected by either the length of time proposed by this new lease term, or the anticipated activities of this temporary filming backlot. A lease rate has been set at $30,000.00 per month +HST, payable from the commencement of the lease on October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. Thereafter the lease rate would be subject to an annual increase of 2 percent +HST of the annual rent of the previous year, for each successive year of the lease. Purchase of the current backlot assets and built form represents a significant investment by WFW. Should the City not enter into an agreement with WFW for use of our lands, the assets and built form would be relocated to another site by WFW. Further, the current tenant would forgo their option to renew for a 2nd year and the lands would be restored to a fallow field condition at the end of the current term of the lease in the fall of 2021. WFW is a Canadian based company with nearly 60 years of expertise in supporting the film and television industry. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Ashtead Group, trading in Canada as Sunbelt Rentals, WFW is deeply rooted in the fast growing, domestic and international media industry. WFW holds assets across Canada in Vancouver, Calgary, Mississauga, and Toronto, including the operation of over a million square feet of production space. They are a highly sought after and respected media partner, working closely with academia and trade unions to ensure the sustained, healthy growth of the Canadian film and television industry. Extending a lease to WFW aligns with the City of Pickering’s vision to increase investment and activities in our Creative Economy, while protecting these lands for future community uses. Financial Implications: William F. White International Inc. will be responsible for all costs associated with this contract, or incurred to build out, operate and maintain the temporary film backlot, including any new utility installations, or entrance works required by the City of Pickering. The City will collect revenues in the amount of $30,000.00 +HST per month, from the commencement of the term on October 1, 2021 until December 31, 2022, and thereafter with an annual increase in fees of 2 percent on the previous year, applied at the start of each remaining year of the contract. - 297 - Report PLN 20-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Temporary Filming Backlot – 3800 Sideline 32 Page 3 Discussion: Supporting the Growth of our Creative Economy The City’s Cultural Strategic Plan gives clear direction to engage in opportunities that strengthen culture-led economic growth in our community. Extending the temporary use of the lands at 3800 Sideline 32 introduces a new opportunity to work with media industry leaders, and make sustainable, long-term connections to creative industry builders. William F. White International Inc.: A P roven Partner in Media Industry Development Founded in 1963, William F. White International Inc. (WFW) is a Canadian company, and is currently held as Canada's most iconic provider of production equipment to the entertainment industry. With offices across the country, including Vancouver, Calgary, Mississauga, and Toronto, the company services productions of all sizes and stages of development from coast to coast, and houses an extensive inventory of state of the art equipment. WFW is owned by the Ashtead Group through their wholly owned subsidiary, trading as Sunbelt Rentals. The WFW group includes Whites Studios, Whites Camera, Whites Lighting & Grip, Whites Location Equipment Supply, and Whites Specialty Equipment. WFW’s family of assets currently include 9 studios totaling over a million square feet of production space nation-wide. The latest studio space includes the Century Studio in Mississauga that opened in July of 2020, (WFW’s 3rd Mississauga location). “Fortress” will be their 10th production facility and training space, and is currently under development as WFW’s newest Calgary facility. WFW brings with it a depth of expertise and innovation, critical to the support and growth of the Canadian film and media industry. Together, with Sunbelt Rentals and the Ashtead Group, they also provide a significant depth of access to global media industry stakeholders. Sustainability and Community Engagement Strategies Cornerstones of the WFW business model include the implementation of sustainable business practices and innovative green technology, and the provision of industry training and development through partnerships with local academia and trade unions. Section 10.e. of the draft Lease Agreement (see Draft Lease Agreement, Appendix I) calls for the submission of an Annual Sustainability Plan to address the management of the Pickering backlot, including, but not limited to, the implementation of energy conservation measures, responsible management and diversion of waste streams, site cleanliness to avoid litter, and green fleet practices. Section 11 of the draft Lease Agreement calls for WFW to work with the City to investigate opportunities to engage our local academia and performing arts community, for the purpose of providing on-site training, mentorship programs, or other initiatives related to development of the local film and creative arts community. - 298 - Report PLN 20-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Temporary Filming Backlot – 3800 Sideline 32 Page 4 WFW has responded by providing an overview of how they plan to address sustainability practices and provide community engagement (see WFW Backlot ESG and Community Engagement, Attachment #1). Highlights of their overview include: • a corporate wide commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 in all operations; • implementation of circular waste management strategy including re-use/donation of built form and construction waste (e.g., Habitat for Humanity); food donations to support local food banks and community outreach organizations; • reviewing the feasibility of installing an on-site solar array to reduce dependence on diesel generators; • local access to WFW’s National Grants program for Indigenous and local film makers; and • engaging local post-secondary institutions to provide access to WFW internships, mentorship programs and a college tuition program. Proposed Use of the Lands The draft Lease Agreement with WFW was built on the terms previously executed with the current tenant. In addition, WFW have asked for permission to install perimeter fencing at their cost, to provide added security and reduce potential liabilities on the site. The current built form will remain but may undergo re-facing or re-design, to suit the needs of the various productions under contract with WFW during the course of the Term. There are excess grounds on the site that may be suitable for further temporary build out. All areas requiring environmental protection have been identified by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and will continue to be protected. The City will continue to receive updated site plans and as-built drawings for the backlot for reference by both our Building Services Department and Pickering Fire Services. The future use of this site for a District Park is not affected by this temporary use as a filming backlot. Restoration of the site at the end of the term to a fallow field, continues to be a condition of the use of the property. Lease Term The draft Lease Agreement provides for commencement of the term beginning October 1, 2021, inclusive until December 31, 2026, plus an option for 2 additional terms of 2 years each, and an absolute end date of December 31, 2030. As with the current tenant, while exclusive use of the lands would be granted to WFW for the sole purpose of filming activities, the City would retain access to the property, for the purpose of ensuring the safe and appropriate use of our lands as needed. - 299 - Report PLN 20-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Temporary Filming Backlot – 3800 Sideline 32 Page 5 Approvals and Permits All site works will continue to be reviewed and approved by: • City of Pickering, Engineering Services, to ensure compliance with City standards as they relate to grading, topsoil management and entrance works; • Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), to ensure the continued protection of areas identified as environmentally sensitive; and • Pickering Fire Services, to ensure emergency access and egress is maintained. All filming activities conducted on City roads will still require issuance of an approved City of Pickering Film Location Permit, together with the additional payment of the associated Film Location Permit fees. Notice must be provided to local residents and businesses regarding: • film activity, particularly filming scheduled between the hours of 9 pm and 7 am; • use of pyrotechnics, special effects that generate loud noises, use of special effects gunfire, or excessively bright lighting after 9 pm; and • storage or use of incendiary based special effects that may require a permit from Pickering Fire Services. Based on the details noted above, staff believe the temporary lease of the City lands at 3800 Sideline 32 to WFW to be a great opportunity to support the local film industry and to increase Pickering’s profile as a destination for filming activities. Accordingly, staff are pleased to recommend that the City enter into a Lease Agreement with WFW, for the period October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, with the option to renew the lease for 2 additional terms of 2 years each.

AND ESG Within the Canadian flm and television producion indusry, William F. White International Inc. (WFW) is recognized as a leader in the movement to create and promote a more environmentally susainable flm and television producion indusry. We are the frs indusry sakeholder to publicly commit to meaningful carbon reducion targets within our operations (to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030) and will achieve this goal through a comprehensive energy retroft of our facilities, a robus wase management initiative tasked with achieving zero wase to landfll by 2025, and a commitment to new technology that will help us eliminate emissions from the producs we rent to our clients. Once we assume management, we anticipate that “The Backlot” will provide a fantasic, high profle opportunity to apply the principles of circular wase management. Rather than have consrucion wase simply end up in landfll, we will work with tenants to design for deconsrucion, so that materials that can be salvaged are reused or donated to the community (Habitat for Humanity, e.g.), or in the wors case, properly recycled where possible. We will work with all tenants to ensure that food donations are an integral part of their wase management srategy and will build on the tremendous success we have had working with Second Harves. Finally, in an efort to cut emissions created at the Backlot, we plan to work closely with the utility Elexicon Energy to invesigate opportunities to reduce the need for diesel generators, up to and including assessing the feasibility of insalling an onsite solar array to provide power that could recharge producion batery packs and provide clean power to producion. © 2021 William F.

We pride ourselves in our internship and mentorship programs across the country from Vancouver to Halifax. We will resond in the same manner for sudents in local educational insitutions in the City of Pickering and surrounding area. Through our pos-secondary scholarship program, created to celebrate the memory of academy award-winning cinematographer and friend of WFW, Vilmos Zsigmond, we have helped make college tuition for talented recipients into an obtainable goal. We have worked with local colleges for many years, providing tours of our 340,000-sf facility located in Etobicoke and demonsrating the workings of one of the world’s larges flm lighting inventories. We plan to continue this tradition of creating opportunities for sudents in the local flm indusry for years to come.

Attachment #1 to Report #PLN 21-21 - 328 - Report to Council Report Number: PLN 22-21 Date: April 26, 2021 From: Kyle Bentley Director, City Development & CBO Subject: Two-year period Exemption Request for Minor Variance Application P/CA 21/21 Universal City Six Developments Inc. Part of Lot 21, Concession 1 South, Now Part 2, 40R-18785 (1010 Sandy Beach Road) Recommendation: 1. That Council grants an exemption in accordance with Section 45 (1.4) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990; c. P.13 as amended, and permit the Committee of Adjustment to consider Minor Variance Application P/CA 21/21, resulting from the further processing of the Site Plan or Building Permit applications submitted by Universal City Six Developments Inc., for lands municipally known as 1010 Sandy Beach Road, before the second anniversary of the day on which an applicant-initiated zoning by-law amendment was enacted for the subject lands. Executive Summary: This report recommends that Council adopt a resolution in accordance with Section 45 (1.4) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990; c. P.13 as amended, permitting the Committee of Adjustment to consider Minor Variance Application P/CA 21/21, submitted by Universal City Six Developments Inc., for 1010 Sandy Beach Road (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The applicant is requesting approval of a minor variance application to marginally increase the maximum building height from 78 metres (26-storeys) to 79.5 metres (27-storeys), and to the eliminate the required minimum 3.0 metre stepback in the main wall of the point tower between the top 6.0 metres and 18.0 metres of a building greater than 73.5 metres in height (24-storeys). The requested variances are in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the City Centre Neighbourhood Official Plan policies, the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines, and the City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17, as amended. The requested variances are minor in nature and desirable for the proposed development, which creates a landmark gateway into Pickering's City Centre while improving the architectural design of the building and the public realm along Bayly Street and Sandy Beach Road. For these reasons, staff recommend that Council grant the requested exemption. Financial Implications: No direct financial implications are arising from Council's adoption of the recommendation of this report. - 329 - Report PLN 22-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Universal City Six Developments Inc. Page 2 1. Discussion Bill 73, the Smart Growth for Our Communities Act, 2015, amended the Planning Act by removing the ability for an applicant to apply for a minor variance for 2 years following the passing of an applicant-initiated zoning by-law amendment. However, the Planning Act changes also permit a municipal Council to allow minor variance applications to proceed, on a case-by-case basis, by Council resolution. The Province indicated that the intent of the amendment is to prevent, for a 2 year period, zoning provisions that Council determines to be important from being reversed through the minor variance process. 2. Proposed Residential Development In February 2020, Universal City Six Developments Inc. submitted Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 01/20, for the lands located at the northwest corner of Sandy Beach Road and Bayly Street within the City Centre Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). On February 21, 2020, the applicant submitted a formal site plan application (S 02/20), which was intended to implement the proposed development (see Submitted Site Plan, Attachment #2, and Original Submitted Rendering, Attachment #3). On January 25, 2021, City Council enacted By-law 7810/21, which granted site-specific exemptions to permit the construction of a 26-storey residential condominium building consisting of 302 units as reflected in the site plan application. The implementing by-law included a maximum height requirement of 78 metres (26-storeys), and a minimum parking ratio of 0.71 parking spaces per dwelling unit for residents and 0.15 parking spaces per dwelling unit for visitors. Following Council’s enactment of By-law 7810/21 and through the detailed review of the architectural drawings, the applicant was able to find efficiencies in the design of the building by slightly redistributing ceiling heights throughout the building and marginally increasing the overall building height from 78 metres (26-storeys) to 79.5 metres (27-storeys). This change allows the applicant to accommodate an additional 10 residential units for a total of 312 apartment units (see Revised Rendering, Attachment #4). When By-law 7810/21 was drafted, staff and the applicant inadvertently overlooked providing a site-specific amendment to grant an exemption to Section 4.2 j) ii) of the City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17, which requires a minimum 3.0 metre stepback in the main wall of the point tower, between the top 6.0 metres and 18.0 metres, for building equal to and greater than 73.5 metres in height. No changes have been made to the siting of the building. Therefore, the applicant is requesting this additional variance be included to address the missing provision. - 330 - Report PLN 22-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Universal City Six Developments Inc. Page 3 3. Minor Variance Application P/CA 21/21, Universal City Six Developments Inc. On March 10, 2021, the applicant submitted Minor Variance Application P/CA 21/21 requesting the following variances: • to permit a maximum building height of 79.5 metres (27-storeys); whereas Zoning By-law 7553/17, as amended by By-law 7810/21, requires a maximum building height of 78.0 metres (26-storeys); and • to permit a 0.0 metre stepback between the top 6.0 metres and 18.0 metres of a point tower for buildings equal to and greater than 73.5 metres; whereas Zoning By-law 7553/17 requires a minimum 3.0 metre stepback between the top 6.0 metres and 18.0 metres of a point tower for buildings equal to and greater than 73.5 metres. The minor variance application falls within the 2 year “time out” provision of the Planning Act. A Council resolution is required to enable the Committee of Adjustment to consider this minor variance application. 4. Requested Variances Result in a Development that is consistent with the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines The subject property is within the City Centre Neighbourhood. City Centre has guidelines to provide direction on the design of new development within the City Centre. The applicant is proposing a signature building that provides a gateway condition with increased heights, massing and high-quality architectural design at the corner of Sandy Beach Road and Bayly Street. This site has been identified as a gateway location and is appropriate for increased building heights. For tall buildings, the Guidelines recommend the top of towers to be attractively designed using setbacks, articulation, and other means to contribute positively to the skyline. The applicant is proposing a high-quality architectural design of the building, including the upper storeys of the point tower, by creating a waved design of balconies and canopies to create a bold entry point into the City Centre. The proposal is consistent with the building design objectives of the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. 5. Minor Increase in Building Height will not Create any other Non-compliances with the City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17 The City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17, as amended by By-law 7810/21, requires a minimum parking ratio of 0.71 parking spaces per dwelling unit and 0.15 visitor parking spaces per dwelling unit. The applicant is proposing to provide a total of 269 parking spaces for Universal City Phase Six by reconfiguring the underground parking to accommodate an additional 9 vehicular parking spaces for the 10 additional residential units. The applicant has indicated that the original configuration of the 3-level underground parking structure was located outside of the 10.0 metres by 10.0 metres Region’s daylighting triangle at the intersection of Bayly Street and Sandy Beach Road. After discussions with the Region of Durham Works Department, it was determined that parking on levels P2 and P3 of the underground parking garage can be located within - 331 - Report PLN 22-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Universal City Six Developments Inc. Page 4 this daylight triangle, subject to the applicant entering into a stratification agreement with the Region of Durham. As a result, the applicant has redesigned the 3-level underground parking to accommodate the additional parking. In addition to minimum vehicle parking requirements, the City Centre Zoning By-law has minimum requirements for indoor and outdoor amenity spaces and bicycle parking. The applicant has indicated that the additional 10 dwelling units will require 5 bicycle parking spaces, and 40 square metres of indoor and outdoor amenity space, which can all be provided on-site. The additional 10 residential units will not require any further exceptions to the City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17. As noted above, when drafting the site-specific exception, staff and the applicant overlooked the zoning requirement for point tower stepbacks for tall buildings within the City Centre Zoning By-law. This requested variance does not represent a change in the architectural design of the building as previously presented to the Planning & Development Committee on December 7, 2020, which has always shown the siting of the building in its current design and did not include stepbacks at the upper levels. Staff are supportive of granting relief from Section 4.2 j) ii) of the City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17, requiring a minimum 3.0 metre stepback in the main wall of the point tower between the top 6.0 metres and 18.0 metres for buildings equal to and greater than 73.5 metres in height. 6. Conclusion It is recommended that Council grant an exemption, in accordance with Section 45 (1.4) of the Planning Act, and permit Minor Variance Application P/CA 21/21, submitted by Universal City Six Developments Inc. as a result of further processing of the site plan or building permit applications, to be considered by the Committee of Adjustment.

That Report PLN 25-21 of the Director, City Development & CBO, regarding the Draft Memorandum of Understanding with Valley Plentiful Community Garden, be endorsed; 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Pickering and Valley Plentiful Community Garden Committee, as set out in Attachment #1 of this report, subject to revisions as may be acceptable to the City Solicitor and the Director, City Development & CBO; 3. That the appropriate City staff be directed to take the necessary actions as per the Draft Memorandum of Understanding; and 4. That staff be directed to report back to Council with recommendations pertaining to a community garden policy. Executive Summary: For the past several months, City staff have been working with the newly formed Valley Plentiful Community Garden Committee (the “Committee”) to support the continued operation of the community garden program located at Diana Princess of Wales Park. In particular, staff have been working with the Committee to get the necessary agreements and procedures in place for the 2021 season. The agreements and procedures that govern the Community Garden Program activities (between the Committee and its membership) include an Annual Gardener Membership Application, Garden Membership Agreement & Code of Conduct, Hydro One Agreement Terms and Conditions, COVID-19 Protocols Agreement, and the Conflict Resolution Policy Procedure. The agreement that governs the obligations of the Valley Plentiful Community Garden Committee and its membership (between the Committee and the City of Pickering) are reflected in the Draft Memorandum of Understanding. These documents will help to create a clear and transparent framework by formalizing expectations, rules and roles for the City, Valley Plentiful Community Garden Committee and gardeners with respect to the use of the Diana Princess of Wales Park. The Draft Memorandum of Understanding (see Attachment #1) outlines responsibilities and obligations of the City of Pickering and Valley Plentiful Garden Committee regarding the use of designated lands at Diana Princess of Wales Park. The lands at Diana Princess of Wales Park are owned by Hydro One and leased to the City of Pickering for public recreational purposes. - 338 - Report PLN 25-21 April 26, 2021 Subject: Valley Plentiful Community Garden Page 2 As a result, the terms and conditions that govern the operation of the Valley Plentiful Community Garden program are set out in the Draft Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Pickering and Valley Plentiful Garden Committee. Financial Implications: Not applicable to this report. Discussion: Valley Plentiful Community Garden has been a well-loved space for Pickering residents for many years. The garden supports local food security, creates a welcoming space for people to come together and learn, and helps others by supporting the local food bank. As per Council Resolution #224/14, City staff are responsible to prepare and bring back to Council agreements for those associations that have dedicated use of City facilities. Consistent with this directive, City staff have been working with the Valley Plentiful Community Garden since 2020 to develop and formalize an agreement and framework for the operation of Valley Plentiful Community Garden. This framework includes the development of necessary procedures to govern committee activities, obligations for the Committee to possess liability insurance, and a Draft Memorandum of Understanding to permit the use of designated lands at Diana Princess of Wales Park for the Valley Plentiful Community Garden program. The Annual Gardener Membership Application, Garden Membership Agreement & Code of Conduct, Hydro One Agreement Terms and Conditions, COVID-19 Protocols Agreement, and Conflict Resolution Policy Procedure will be executed between the gardeners and the Garden Committee. Staff have reviewed and amended each of these documents from an operational, legal and insurance perspective. The Draft Memorandum of Understanding will be executed between the City of Pickering and the Garden Committee to outline the responsibilities and obligations of each party. These agreements and forms will be reviewed annually should changes be warranted. Planning for the future, there may be more requests for the City to consider and/or support the formation of new community gardens. As a result, staff will review how other municipalities have structured official policies and procedures pertaining to community gardens and report back to Council with a recommendation in late 2021.
