Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information on an application for Zoning By-law Amendment, submitted by KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc., to expand the list of permitted uses on the subject lands. This report contains general information on the applicable Official Plan and other related policies and identifies matters raised to date. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. The Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification and identify any planning issues. This report is for information and no decision on this application is being made at this time. Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee upon completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal. 2. Property Location and Description The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Brock Road and Bayly Street within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The property has an area of approximately 0.6 of a hectare with approximately 75 metres of frontage along Brock Road and 45 metres of frontage along Bayly Street. The property is currently vacant. The site was used until 2018 as a PetroCan service station and car wash facility. The current site-specific zoning for the property (By-law 5858/01) was enacted in 2001 and limits the permitted uses on the site to an automobile service station only. Surrounding land uses include (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #2): North: Across Bayly Street are single-storey multi-tenant buildings with a range of industrial and limited commercial uses. South: Immediately to the south is a retail bike shop and an automobile repair shop. - 1 - Information Report 15-21 Page 2 East: Across Brock Road are single-storey multi-tenant buildings with a range of industrial and limited commercial uses. West: Immediately to the west is a KIA automobile dealership and further west is a recently constructed plaza with a range of industrial, limited commercial, and personal service uses. 3. Applicants’ Proposal The applicants are requesting to amend the existing site-specific zoning for the subject lands to include automobile sales showroom and office, automobile service repair garage, bakery, club, commercial club, commercial-recreational establishment, office-associated commercial establishment, and printing shop. The applicants are seeking this request to facilitate the development of an automobile sales outlet and an automobile service repair garage complex. The remainder of the proposed uses are intended for opportunities for future tenancy. The applicants are proposing a single storey, “L”-shaped, 913 square metre multi-tenant building fronting the intersection of Brock Road and Bayly Street. Proposed uses include 2 automobile sales offices and 3 service garages (see Submitted Site Plan, Attachment #3; Submitted Elevation Plan, Attachment #4; and Submitted Coloured Rendering, Attachment #5). To support the development, a total of 105 parking spaces are to be provided internal to the site, of which 30 spaces are intended for visitors and staff, and 75 parking spaces are intended as display spaces for the auto sales component. Additionally, the applicant is required to convey to the Region of Durham a 4.5 metre wide road widening along the entire frontage of Bayly Street, and a 15 metre by 15 metre daylighting triangle at the intersection of Brock Road and Bayly Street. The development will be subject to site plan approval. 4. Policy Framework 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Region of Durham Official Plan (ROP) designates the subject lands as “Employment Areas” in the Urban System, with a “Regional Corridor” overlay along Bayly Street. Along Regional Corridors, the Employment Areas designation permits a range of employment uses such as office buildings and business parks. Limited personal service and retail uses, serving the immediate employment area may be permitted as a minor component (e.g., 10 percent) of the aggregate gross floor area of the uses in Employment Areas, and no single use shall exceed 500 square metres. Retail sales as a minor ancillary component of an industrial operation may also be permitted, subject to the inclusion of appropriate provisions in the Pickering Official Plan and/or Zoning By-law. - 2 - Information Report 15-21 Page 3 4.2 Pickering Official Plan The subject property is designated as “Employment Areas – Mixed Employment”, which provides for a range of employment uses that includes: automotive and vehicle sales and repair; light manufacturing; assembly and processing of goods; light service industries; offices; corporate office business parks; limited personal service uses; restaurants; hotels; financial institutions; community, cultural and recreational uses; and limited retailing of goods and services serving the area. The proposed additional uses generally comply with the policies and provisions of the City’s Official Plan. However the ROP is more current and restrictive, and any amendments shall conform with the ROP. 4.3 Zoning By-law 2511, as amended The subject lands are currently zoned “CA(F)” within Zoning By-law 2511, as amended by By-law 5858/01. This zoning only permits an automobile service station – type “F”. The applicants are requesting to rezone the subject property to remove automobile service station – type “F” as a permitted use, and to permit a range of employment and limited commercial uses as noted in Section 3 of this report. 5. Comments Received 5.1 Public Comments • As of writing this report, no comments or concerns have been received from the public. 5.2 Agency Comments 5.2.1 Region of Durham – Planning Department The following is a summary of key concerns/issues or matters of importance identified by the Region of Durham: • the proposed amendment should include a cap on the amount of floor space permitted for retail uses, such as bakery, if such uses are introduced on the subject site; • the proposed commercial-recreational establishment use could be considered a sensitive land use and as such is recommended that the proposed zoning by-law omit commercial-recreational establishment as a permitted use, or request that a land-use compatibility study be required prior to issuance of a building permit; and • the Region generally has no concerns with the proposed zoning by-law amendment, if the zoning by-law does not encourage the longevity of, or permits the introduction of, new sensitive land uses. - 3 - Information Report 15-21 Page 4 5.3 City Department Comments 5.3.1 Engineering Services • As of writing this report, no comments or concerns have been received from Engineering Services. 6. Planning & Design Section Comments The following is a summary of key concerns/issues or matters of importance raised to date. These matters, and others identified through the circulation and detailed review of the proposal, are required to be addressed by the applicant before a final recommendation report to Planning & Development Committee: • ensuring that the requested uses are consistent with the policies and provisions of the Regional Official Plan and the Pickering Official Plan; • ensuring that proposed retail and personal service uses are capped by including appropriate provisions in the zoning by-law to restrict gross floor area to no more than 10 percent of the aggregate gross floor area, and to restrict the size of individual uses to no more than 500 square metres; and • requiring the submission of a Land Use Compatibility Study should the applicant continue to pursue the inclusion of sensitive land uses (such as commercial-recreational establishments). Further issues may be identified following receipt and review of comments from the circulated departments, agencies and public. The City Development Department will conclude its position on the application after it has received and assessed comments from the circulated departments, agencies and the public. 7.

The recommendations of the Intensification Plan provided direction for the preparation of appropriate planning implementation tools to facilitate the achievement of the vision for intensification along the corridor and within the node. The purpose of recommended Amendment 38 is to add new policies to, and change existing policies and land use designations in the Pickering Official Plan to enable the redevelopment and intensification of the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node, and to identify required infrastructure improvements and transportation connections throughout the area in support of anticipated population and employment growth. The Amendment applies to lands reflected on the Location Map attached to this report and as described in the Recommended Official Plan Amendment. Durham Region has indicated that Amendment 38 is non-exempt from Regional approval. Recommended Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 are contained in Appendices I and II respectively, to this report. In response to comments received, staff are recommending certain changes to the proposed official plan amendment to address matters including: reducing maximum heights; introducing criteria for consideration of higher floor space indices; compatibility and transition between stable low rise residential and higher density residential uses; introducing greater flexibility around Major Office uses; including policies to enable limited expansion of existing uses, and the establishment of a monitoring program to track development within the Intensification Areas. Minor boundary adjustments and adjustments to land use designations are also proposed. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. Discussion: 1. Background/Purpose On December 16, 2019, Council endorsed in principle the Kingston Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan and draft Urban Design Guidelines prepared by SvN Architects + Planners Inc. as per Resolution #192/19 (refer to Report PLN 26-19). Further, Council authorized staff to initiate an Official Plan Amendment to implement the vision and Intensification Plan for the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node. A robust engagement process was undertaken throughout the Study, as well as following completion of the Study, in the preparation of the City Initiated Official Plan Amendment. There has been active participation and feedback received from members of the public, the development community, agencies, and advisory committees of Council. Section 2 of this report provides details regarding the public engagement process related to Official Plan Amendment 38. - 16 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 3 City staff are bringing forward Recommended Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 to the Pickering Official Plan for adoption by City Council. A number of privately-initiated development applications have been submitted for properties within the Intensification Areas. Until such time as the City Initiated Official Plan Amendment has received Regional approval and is in effect, all privately-initiated development applications are being assessed against the current policies of the Pickering Official Plan, the framework and policy recommendations of the Council-endorsed Intensification Plan, and the design priorities of the Draft Urban Design Guidelines. 2. Consultation/Comments Received 2.1 Comments from the October 22, 2020 Electronic Open House, and November 4, 2020, Statutory Public Meeting On October 22, 2020, staff hosted an Electronic Open House prior to the Statutory Public Meeting to present the proposed city initiated official plan amendment and informational revision. On November 4, 2020, the Statutory Public Meeting with regard to proposed Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 was held. Notice of the electronic open house and public meeting was posted on the City's website and sent out to landowners within the Corridor and Node and within 150 metres of the Corridor and Node, as well as Interested Parties from the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study that concluded in December 2019. An advertisement of the electronic open house and public meeting also appeared in the local newspaper for 2 consecutive weeks on October 8, 2020 and October 15, 2020. Copies of the proposed city initiated official plan amendment and informational revision were also circulated to key public agencies, including the Region of Durham. The key concerns and comments received relate to: maximum heights; transition between high density and stable low-rise residential neighbourhoods; traffic and parking impacts; loss of existing commercial businesses and jobs; ability for existing businesses to expand; need for flexibility around Major Office requirements; need for ongoing monitoring of development; lack of servicing capacity; capacity of schools to accommodate increased population; and climate change impacts. A summary of the comments and concerns expressed and staff responses is included in Attachment #2 to this report. All submissions received from agencies and the public have been forwarded to the Mayor and Members of Council under separate cover. - 17 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 4 2.2 Comments From Agency and City Departments 2.2.1 Durham Region Key concerns raised by the Region of Durham related to: the time horizon for planning; ensuring development is in line with the population and jobs targets established through the Intensification Plan; servicing; and need for adjustments to the road network in the Brock Precinct, including restricting new street accesses onto Brock Road. These comments have been addressed through discussions with Regional staff and are reflected through the recommended Official Plan Amendment (see Appendix I). Durham Region has indicated that, in accordance with Regional By-law 11-2000, this Official Plan amendment application is non-exempt from Regional approval and, if adopted by Pickering Council, will need to be forwarded to the Region of Durham for review and approval. 2.2.2 Parks Canada Parks Canada provided comments related to: environmental design and lighting; and reducing maximum building heights in proximity to the Rouge National Urban Park, particularly the visibility of tall buildings from the Glen Rouge Campground. This campground is host to many newcomers to Canada. These comments have been addressed through the recommended Official Plan Amendment (see Appendix I). 2.2.3 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Toronto and Region Conservation Authority provided minor technical comments regarding adjustment to the Natural Areas Designation adjacent to the Petticoat Creek, north of Highway 401 on City-owned parkland; as well as the need for a site specific policy for a property south of the intersection of Kingston Road and Fairport Road to require a study of the floodplain associated with a portion of the Amberlea Creek tributary. These comments have been addressed through the recommended Official Plan Amendment (see Appendix I). 2.2.4 Ontario Ministry of Transportation The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) indicated that they had no objections in principle to the proposed land use designations and policies. MTO advised that they will review all development proposals and associated plans and reports to assess site massing, layout, density, and will assess the impacts that high density developments will have on Highway 401. However, they expressed concern with the proposed private streets identified east of Brock Road, south of Pickering Parkway, north of Highway 401, and requested that they be removed. These comments have been addressed through the recommended Official Plan Amendment Schedule XIV (see Schedule ‘B’ of Appendix I), as well as the introduction of a policy requiring review of the future road network in this area through detailed block planning. - 18 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 5 2.2.5 Other Agencies and Departments Other agencies and City departments have stated that they have no objection to the proposed amendments, and all other departmental and agency comments were of a minor technical nature and did not necessitate any major revisions to the draft official plan amendment. 3. Lands affected by the recommended Official Plan Amendment The recommended Official Plan Amendment contains policies that will apply to areas within the City identified as Mixed Use Areas – Mixed Corridor, along the Kingston Road Corridor and the east side of Brock Road, south of Kingston Road, and north of Highway 401, identified as Mixed Use Areas – Specialty Retailing Node. They are shown on the Location Map in Attachment #1. The subject lands comprise approximately 144 hectares. 4. Recommended Amendments 4.1 Text Changes to Recommended Official Plan Amendment 38 Recommended Amendment 38 to the City of Pickering Official Plan is contained in Appendix l to this report. It introduces new policies in Chapter 3 – Land Use, a new Chapter 11A with policies specific to the Intensification Areas, and new definitions to Chapter 15 – Implementation, to implement the vision for the Intensification Areas that was established through the Council-endorsed Intensification Plan. In response to comments received from agencies, City departments, and the public, staff have made changes to Proposed Amendment 38, where appropriate. The changes are considered to be minor in nature, in response to public and agency input, and do not detract from the original intent or purpose of Amendment 38. Key changes include the following: • added the following criteria to Policy 3.6 (f) to guide consideration of zoning by-law amendment requests for proposals exceeding the currently permitted maximum Floor Space Index (FSI) of 2.5 up to 5.0: that the site is generally located within an appropriate gateway location and/or adjacent to Highway 401; that the proposal is compatible with adjacent land uses, particularly stable residential neighbourhoods; that the proposed development would not preclude other properties within the precinct from developing or redeveloping to their planned potential; and that the proposal meets the general intent of the Intensification Area policies in Chapter 11A of the Pickering Official Plan; • revised Table 5, Mixed Use Areas: Permissible Uses By Subcategory, to permit stand-alone medium density development, in addition to being part of a mixed use development; • added policy provisions to Policy 11A.3, subsections (a), (d) and (f) to limit heights and mitigate other adverse impacts of proposed redevelopment in proximity to the Rouge National Urban Park; - 19 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 6 • added policy to the Rougemount, Dunbarton-Liverpool, and Brock Precinct policies, further directing where heights should be limited within the Precincts; • added Policy 11A.6 (j) to require proposals on the east side of Brock Road, south of Pickering Parkway and north of Highway 401 to give consideration through detailed block planning and a transportation study to appropriate locations for street linkages to Brock Road, in response to comments from the Region of Durham and the Ministry of Transportation; • added Policy 11A.9 (c) with regard to support for existing business retention; • added Policy 11A.9 (f)(i) to establish and secure locations for community facilities through detailed block planning; • revised Policy 11A.9.2 to provide greater flexibility for the location of Major Office uses; • revised Policy 11A.10 (d) to clarify that new development shall be designed and located to limit any shadowing on adjacent residential land uses in addition to the public realm; • revised Policy 11A.10.1 (a) and 11A.10.1 (d) to reduce maximum heights: • from 45 storeys to 35 storeys for high rise buildings, and to direct tall buildings to generally be located within appropriate major gateway locations, along Highway 401 and proximate to highway interchanges; • from 25 storeys to 20 storeys within the Rougemount Precinct; and • to low and mid-rise built form, up to a maximum of 12 storeys, for development immediately adjacent to low-rise stable residential neighbourhoods;

• added new Policy 11A.14.3 to indicate that the policies of new Chapter 11A of the Pickering Official Plan will be implemented through prescribing, in an implementing zoning by-law, matters at a property specific level, including maximum building heights, maximum floor space indices, and other appropriate development standards; • added new Policy 11A.14.5 that the City will establish a monitoring program to track development and implementation; • added new Policy 11A.14.6 acknowledging privately-initiated applications submitted prior to the adoption of Official Plan Amendment 38 are subject to the outcome of their privately-initiated official plan amendment; • added new definitions to Policy 15.5, Glossary, for “Community Hubs”, “Complete Streets”, “Major Office”, and “Transit Supportive”; and • added new Policy 16.5A, subsection (xxxix) to add “affordable housing brief” to the list of studies that may be required for a planning application. - 20 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 7 4.2 Mapping Changes to Recommended Official Plan Amendment 38 Key recommended changes to the Intensification Area mapping, Schedule XIV (Schedule ‘B’ to Appendix I – Recommended Official Plan Amendment 38), and associated rationale, are discussed below: 4.2.1 General • added a symbol to identify Heritage Properties of Interest for greater clarity, based on Pickering Heritage Committee comments; and • removed transit stops from the Land Use schedule as they are subject to change with the longer term plans for the corridor and based on feedback from the Region. 4.2.2 Rougemount Precinct • removed properties on the south side of Old Forrest Road from the Intensification Area Boundary given the limited opportunity for consolidation and redevelopment with the properties fronting Kingston Road, and to provide better transition to the stable residential areas immediately to the north. 4.2.3 Whites Precinct • added 1409 Rosebank Drive to the Intensification Area boundary as the property has existing zoning for commercial uses, potential for consolidation with adjacent lands to the south, and is located outside of the Woodlands Established Neighbourhood Precinct boundary; • removed Dunbarton High School site from the Intensification Area, given limited opportunity for redevelopment and intensification, and to provide better transition to the stable residential areas immediately to the north; • adjusted the Natural Areas designation to reflect Petticoat Creek tributary in the City’s park north of Kingston Road, based on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority comments; • removed properties on the south side of Sheppard Avenue from the Intensification Area Boundary given the limited opportunity for consolidation and redevelopment, and to provide better transition to the stable residential areas immediately to the north; • removed the easterly segment of the proposed private street immediately south of Sheppard Avenue, east of Delta Drive and Omega Drive, and immediately north of the 401 access ramps. Through detailed site planning as part of a future development application, staff will investigate opportunities for on-site traffic circulation, connectivity, and consolidated accesses to Kingston Road for the properties in this area. 4.2.4 Brock Precinct • added the proposed new signalized intersection on Kingston Road at Guild Road/Denmar Road, based on Region of Durham’s comments; - 21 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 8 • re-designated the east-west proposed private street immediately north of Pickering Parkway, to a proposed public street, based on comments from the Region of Durham; • removed the proposed private streets south of Kingston Road on the east side of Brock Road which were not supported by the Region of Durham or the Ministry of Transportation; and • adjusted land use designations on properties on the north side of Kingston Road, in between 1970 Brock Road and Guild Road, from Mixed Use Type A and Residential, to Mixed Use Type B and Mixed Use Type C, to provide adequate transition with respect to the stable residential neighbourhood to the north based on public feedback. These changes are considered to be consistent with comments received through public input. A detailed summary of public comments and staff responses is provided in Attachment #2. 4.3 Recommended Informational Revision 26 Recommended Informational Revision 26 to the City of Pickering Official Plan is contained in Appendix ll to this report. The purpose of Informational Revision 26 is to change the informational text contained within the Pickering Official Plan to provide context to the policies introduced as part of the recommended Official Plan Amendment. Revisions to Proposed Informational Revision 26 relate to: • reflecting the boundary changes associated with the Intensification Areas on the respective Neighbourhood Maps, as discussed in Section 4.1 above; • providing context in relation to Policy 3.6 (f), that the actual achievable FSI for a development will be dependent on many factors including property size, compatibility with adjacent development, meeting building separation requirements, having regard for shadowing, and other compatibility constraints; • providing context around the character of the Rougemount Precinct referenced in Policy 11A.3 which is envisioned to predominantly comprise buildings with low and moderate heights to help reinforce the ‘main street’ character of this stretch of Kingston Road; and • removing definitions derived from A Place to Grow from the Informational Revision and adding them to the Glossary in Section 15.5 of the Pickering Official Plan, through Official Plan Amendment 38, consistent with other policy-based definitions in the Official Plan. 5. Planning Analysis Section 7 of Information Report 13-20 dated November 4, 2020, read together with Sections 1 to 4 of this report, provides the details regarding the planning rationale in support of recommended Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26. The recommended amendments seek to introduce new policies in Chapter 3 – Land Use, a new Chapter 11A with policies specific to the Intensification Areas, and new definitions to Chapter 15 – Implementation, to implement the vision for the Intensification Areas that was established through the Council-endorsed Intensification Plan. - 22 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 9 As such, the recommended Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and A Place to Grow, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020. In addition, the recommended Official Plan Amendment conforms to the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan. As noted in Subsection 2.2.1 above, Durham Region has indicated that, in accordance with Regional By-law 11-2000, this Official Plan Amendment application is non-exempt from Regional approval. Accordingly, if adopted by Council, staff are requesting authorization to forward the amendment and all necessary prescribed documentation to the Region of Durham for their review and decision. 6. Additional Matters 6.1 Implementing Zoning By-law Amendment Staff have been drafting an implementing zoning by-law amendment for the lands within the intensification areas, working in alignment with the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law Update currently underway. The implementing zoning by-law will address at the site level, matters including building heights, floor space indices, permitted uses, interim use provisions, and parking provisions. The by-law will also address performance standards including angular plane requirements and setbacks. Public consultation will be conducted in accordance with the Planning Act and the comments received through City Initiated Official Plan Amendment 38 (File: OPA 20-004/P) will be further addressed, as appropriate. Following the adoption of City Initiated Official Plan Amendment 38, staff are requesting Council’s authorization to bring forward the implementing zoning by-law for public consultation in early 2022. 6.2 Urban Design Guidelines On December 19, 2020, Council endorsed in principle, the draft Urban Design Guidelines dated November 2020, (Urban Design Guidelines). The Council-adopted Urban Design Guidelines are based on the recommendations contained in the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan prepared by SvN Architects + Planners. Since endorsement of the draft guidelines, staff have been evaluating privately-initiated applications and proposals within the Intensification Areas against the draft urban design guidelines and design-related policy recommendations in the Council-endorsed Intensification Plan, in order to assess their applicability, appropriateness, and to inform possible need for revisions. Staff had originally intended to bring forward revised urban design guidelines for endorsement at the same time as the Official Plan Amendment. However, in response to comments received from agencies, City departments, and the public, staff expect further refinements to the draft Urban Design Guidelines based on the forthcoming implementing Zoning By-law Amendment. It is recommended that staff be authorized to bring back the finalized urban design guidelines for endorsement at the same time as the recommended Zoning By-law Amendment. Until that time, applications within the Intensification Areas will continue to be reviewed against the Council-endorsed draft urban design guidelines. - 23 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 10 6.2.1 Development Guidelines The following development guidelines within the Intensification Areas, contained in the Compendium document to the Pickering Official Plan, are being replaced by new design-related policies in the proposed new Chapter 11A and the Draft Urban Design Guidelines: • Kingston Road Corridor Development Guidelines; • Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines; • Specialty Retailing Node Development Guidelines; • Walnut Lane Area Development Guidelines; and • Town Centre West Development Guidelines. Accordingly, staff are recommending repeal of the above redundant Development Guidelines. 7. Conclusion Council authorized staff to initiate an Official Plan Amendment in accordance with Report PLN 26-19, to enable the redevelopment and intensification of the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node, in accordance with the vision established in the Council-endorsed Intensification Plan, and to identify required infrastructure improvements and transportation connections throughout the area in support of anticipated population and employment growth. Recommended Amendment 38 and Recommended Informational Revision 26, incorporate appropriate modifications to the Draft Amendment proposed in Information Report 13-20 and address comments received through the consultation process. Staff recommends: (a) That Council approve Recommended Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan by passing the by-law to adopt Amendment 38, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 41-21; (b) That Council adopt Recommended Informational Revision 26 to the Pickering Official Plan as set out in Appendix II to Report PLN 41-21; (c) That staff be directed to bring forward an implementing Zoning By-law for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification areas addressing site specific matters including maximum building heights, maximum floor space indices, and other appropriate development standards; (d) That Council repeal the following redundant development guidelines: Kingston Road Corridor Development Guidelines, Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines, Specialty Retailing Node Development Guidelines, Walnut Lane Area Development Guidelines and Town Centre West Development Guidelines; (e) That staff be directed to bring forward refined Urban Design Guidelines for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas for Council endorsement with the recommended implementing Zoning By-law; and - 24 - Report PLN 41-21 November 1, 2021 Subject: City Initiated: Official Plan Amendment 38 and Informational Revision 26 Page 11 (f) That a copy of Official Plan Amendment 38, Informational Revision 26, and all supporting documents be forwarded to the Region of Durham for review and approval.

The intensification in the City. Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node were identified as Strategic Growth Areas. Need to ensure appropriate To address resident concerns, staff are recommending: transitions and heights next to existing established residential neighbourhoods. • Further limiting heights for development which is immediately adjacent to stable low-rise residential neighbourhoods to low and mid-rise building forms, up to a maximum of 12 storeys. • Removal of a number of properties with existing single- detached houses from the boundary of the Intensification Area, along the south side of Old Forrest Road, as well as Sheppard Avenue, to provide better transition to the stable residential areas immediately to the north of the corridor. • Adjustments to land use designations for properties along the north side of Kingston Road in the Brock Precinct. Maximum heights are too In addition to concerns about the maximum heights set out in tall. the proposed OPA 38, concerns around heights have also been expressed by the public through privately-initiated applications throughout the intensification areas. Accordingly, staff are recommending maximum heights be reduced, and have revised Policy 11A.10.1 (a) and 11A.10.1(d) to reduce maximum heights: • from 45 storeys to 35 storeys; • from 25 storeys to 20 storeys within the Rougemount Precinct; and, • to low and mid-rise buildings, up to a maximum of 12 storeys, for development immediately adjacent to low-rise stable residential neighbourhoods. These recommended reductions are based on public feedback, input from Parks Canada, an analysis of privately-initiated development applications and proposals within the intensification areas and public input on applications, the notional heights presented in the preferred intensification scenario (refer to Report PLN 08-19), and to maintain the hierarchy of the greatest heights and densities within the City being directed to the City Centre, which the Province has identified as both an Urban Growth Centre and a Major Transit Station Area. Staff have also added Policy 11A.14.3 specifying that the implementing zoning by-law will establish maximum heights on a site by site basis, and provide greater direction around where - 27 - Comment/Concern City Staff Response taller buildings could be appropriately located. This implementing zoning by-law will be subject to public consultation. Further, the revised Policy 3.6 (f) also requires a zoning by-law amendment for proposals with Floor Space Indices over 2.5 up to and including 5.0. Higher FSIs are generally associated with taller buildings. This policy serves as another mechanism to ensure adequate public consultation around matters associated with high density development including height. Loss of existing commercial/retail and jobs through redevelopment. In response to comments received regarding concern over the loss of existing commercial and retail stores and jobs, staff are recommending the following changes: • Expansion of recommended Policy 11A.14.2, which directs the City to undertake measures to stimulate economic growth and vitality within the intensification areas, including: the ability for the City to undertake an office demand study to support intensification including redevelopment of the area, evaluation of applications, and relocation of incompatible businesses to other appropriate locations within the City; and initiation of a program to engage developers and local businesses in the area to consider matters such as business retention and expansion needs in a changing retail environment. Newly added Policy 11A.14.2 (c), encourages land owners to engage in ongoing communication with impacted business owners. • Introduction of a new policy, 11A.9 (c), which applies to redevelopment of properties with existing businesses, and encourages early and on-going communication between the proponent and existing tenants; seeks on-site retention of existing businesses, wherever possible, as part of the redevelopment through measures including provision of similar unit sizes and phasing, where feasible and appropriate, to allow the opportunity for businesses to relocate on-site; and, seeks to assist affected business owners in finding opportunities for relocation within the community where retention on-site is not possible or desired. Additionally, through the monitoring program referred to in Policy 11A.14.4, and other means such as the Durham Business Count, staff have started and will be continuing to track, among other metrics, changes in commercial, retail, and office floorspace and jobs as a result of development proposals. Staff from the City’s Economic Development & Strategic Projects Department will be included in all pre-consultation meetings with development proponents where redevelopment - 28 - Comment/Concern City Staff Response of sites containing existing commercial, retail, and office spaces is being proposed within the intensification areas. Preservation of existing jobs and creation of new jobs in Pickering is a priority for the City and will be something the City is monitoring closely. Further policies may be added to the Pickering Official Plan, pending the outcome of the Region’s current review of its Official Plan. Potential impacts such as traffic, traffic congestion, and parking on adjacent stable neighbourhoods. Traffic studies are generally required as part of site-specific development applications in accordance with the policies of the Pickering Official Plan. Based on consultation with the City’s Public Works staff, the Region of Durham Works Department, and the Ministry of Transportation, a few changes have been made to the final proposed road network, as outlined in Section 4 of the report, to improve traffic conditions. In addition to recommendations contained in required transportation studies for development proposals to mitigate traffic impacts, staff have added additional policy language to Policy 11A.12.D, based on public input, to prioritize measures that reduce traffic-related impacts to adjacent neighbourhoods. The Pickering Official Plan enables the City to have studies peer reviewed, at the expense of the developer. The City will utilize peer reviews of transportation and parking studies, where warranted, to ensure any transportation-related concerns are addressed, including that traffic impacts are mitigated and parking ratios are appropriate. It is expected with the introduction of complete streets (with dedicated pedestrian and cycling facilities), and the introduction of Bus Rapid Transit in the near term, and the transition to Light Rail Transit over the longer term along Kingston Road, that these infrastructure investments will also help to alleviate traffic concerns and shift the modal split. Further, the City’s Engineering Services staff have reviewed OPA 38, and have indicated that it is aligned with the Integrated Transportation Master Plan. Detailed parking provisions will be established through the implementing zoning by-law for the area, taking into consideration comments and concerns related to parking that have arisen as part of privately-initiated applications within the area. There will be further public consultation on the implementing zoning by-law. - 29 - Comment/Concern City Staff Response Lack of maximum densities in the proposed Official Plan Amendment. City staff intend to maintain the same approach as the City Centre with regard to not establishing a maximum density for the intensification area in the Pickering Official Plan. Density will be regulated through other means, including the use of a Floor Space Index (FSI) and maximum heights in the implementing zoning by-law, which is consistent with the approach in other Intensification Areas in the GTA. Additionally, other ways in which densities are proposed to be regulated within the Intensification Areas, include: • Policy 3.6 (f) requires a site specific zoning by-law for proposals beyond 2.5 FSI up to a maximum of 5.0 FSI. The required site specific zoning by-law amendment would be a mechanism to ensure public input, and that the proposed density is appropriate. Staff have recommended criteria in Policy 3.6 (f) to indicate more specifically which locations in the Intensification Area could be appropriate for higher densities. • Policies 2.10 (d) and 2.11 (c) establishes long term population and jobs targets for the Intensification Areas in the Pickering Official Plan. • Through the recommended monitoring program referenced in Policy 11A.14.4 of OPA 38, whereby staff will track on an on-going basis, developments in the area against the targets that were established. • The use of Holding Symbols in accordance with Policy 11A.14 (d) to ensure, among other matters, that adequate servicing is available to accommodate the proposed development. Need for on-going monitoring Policies related to servicing have been included in proposed to ensure there is adequate OPA 38, in particular proposed policy 11A.13, 11A.14. In servicing and to assess accordance with proposed policy 11A.13 (e), City Staff are growth against targeted proposing to work with the Region and landowners to develop a population and jobs. plan for the phasing of extensions to existing services. In any case, servicing must be addressed as a condition of approval for all development proposals and holding symbols will be put in place accordingly in the implementing Zoning By-law. City Staff added new Policy 11A.14.5 that the City will establish a monitoring program to track development and implementation. Need for flexibility around In response to comments from a number of property owners on requirements for Major Office the need for flexibility as it pertains to implementing Major Office uses in certain locations. uses, staff have recommended minor revisions to Policy 11A.9.2 pertaining to Major Office uses within Mixed Use A Areas to provide greater flexibility. - 30 - Comment/Concern City Staff Response Need to maintain flexibility In response to comments received, staff added a new Policy for existing businesses to 11A.14.1 (d) to allow for consideration of minor expansions to continue to operate and existing retail and commercial uses, based on specified criteria. expand to meet demand This criteria is based on best practices from other jurisdictions. needs, particularly with an increase in population in the Further, provisions for interim uses are expected to be included Intensification Areas. in the implementing zoning by-law. Need for affordable housing and more housing options for seniors. Policies in Chapter 6 of the Pickering Official Plan regarding affordable housing would apply to any development within the Intensification Areas. Through the Recommended OPA, staff are recommending adding an affordable housing brief to the list of required studies for development applications. Further, affordable and seniors housing is being considered through the development of the City’s Housing Strategy and the Region of Durham’s comprehensive review of its Official Plan. As part of the implementation of the City’s Housing Strategy and the requirement for the City to bring its Official Plan into conformity with the Region’s new Official Plan, t is anticipated that there will be further amendments to the Pickering Official Plan to support and enable affordable and seniors housing. Finally, by introducing higher density housing options in the Intensification Areas, more options will be provided for seniors. Concern over the To provide greater clarity, staff added new Policy 11A.14.6, applicability of Official Plan acknowledging that privately-initiated applications submitted Amendment 38 to privately-prior to Official Plan Amendment 38 coming into full force and initiated Official Plan effect are subject to the outcome of their own privately-initiated Amendments within the official plan amendment. Further, in the event of a conflict with Intensification Areas. the policies of OPA 38, the policies adopted by Council through a privately-initiated application will prevail. This is based on the “Clergy” principle in law which states that applications are to be reviewed based on the policies which were in effect at the time their application was received. These privately-initiated applications are also going through separate public consultation processes. Staff acknowledge that there may be further privately-initiated applications submitted prior to the Region’s approval of OPA 38. In that case, staff will work with the Region on modifications, if required, to reflect and recognize any additional applications that are deemed complete prior to the date that OPA 38 comes into full force and effect. - 31 - Comment/Concern City Staff Response That the existing development guidelines were put in place a long time ago and the area still looks “tired” with car dealerships, commercial businesses, motels, and townhouses. The City does not have control over whether, or when, property owners in the area might choose to redevelop their properties. The policies of OPA 38 and the future implementing zoning by- law will provide the framework for these properties to redevelop over time. Through Policy 11A.14.4, staff are recommending the City investigate developing a Community Improvement Plan for the area to incentivize redevelopment within the Intensification Areas in keeping with the policies in recommended OPA 38 and the Draft Urban Design Guidelines. Capacity of area schools to The school boards have been consulted on OPA 38 and have accommodate the additional indicated they have no concerns with the proposed policies. population growth. School boards are routinely circulated on planning applications that would generate new students and factor growth into their school planning. Implications of development as it relates to climate change. The proposed policies are consistent with the policies of A Place to Grow as it relates to climate change. The City is undertaking various programs and initiatives to address climate change. The Region of Durham is expected to be bringing forward enhanced climate change and sustainability policies through the on-going review of their Official Plan. Following the adoption of new Regional Official Plan policies, the City will undertake a review of the Pickering Official Plan to consider any further amendments to the City’s Official Plan to address climate change. Bird mortality from strikes Policy 14.10 (o)(iii) of the Pickering Official Plan encourages with tall buildings. green development measures, including installing bird-friendly glazing, particularly on new tall buildings proposed within established migratory flights paths, to prevent potentially fatal collisions with windows. Based on feedback from Parks Canada, an additional policy has been added to direct tall buildings away from the Rouge National Urban Park, an important bird migration corridor. Staff will be further considering guidance around bird friendly design through the finalization of the urban design guidelines and through future work on sustainability guidelines for development. - 32 - Comment/Concern City Staff Response Need for plain language and information that is more easily understood by the public to help them participate in the process and understand how the proposed changes will affect them personally. Given the technical nature and scale of the proposed Official Plan Amendment, staff are available to speak with individual property owners about concerns or questions they may have regarding proposed policies and its impacts on their lands or developments. - 33 - Appendix I to Report No. PLN 41-21 Draft By-law to Adopt Amendment 38 to the City of Pickering Official Plan - 34 - ________________________________ ________________________________ The Corporation of the City of Pickering Draft By-law No. XXXX/21 Being a by-law to adopt Amendment 38 to the Official Plan for the City of Pickering (OPA 20-004/P) Whereas pursuant to the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.p. 13, subsections 17(22) and 21(1), the Council of the Corporation of the City of Pickering may by by-law adopt amendments to the Official Plan for the City of Pickering; Whereas pursuant to Section 17(10) of the Planning Act, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has by order authorized Regional Council to pass a by-law to exempt proposed area municipal official plan amendments from its approval; And whereas the Places to Grow Act, 2005, directs the Corporation of the City of Pickering to prepare and adopt an amendment to its Official Plan to bring the City of Pickering Official Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan; Whereas on February 23, 2000, Regional Council passed By-law 11/2000 which allows the Region to exempt proposed area municipal official plan amendments from its approval; Whereas the Region has advised that Amendment 38 to the City of Pickering Official Plan is not exempt from Regional approval; Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as follows: 1.

Draft David Ryan, Mayor Draft Susan Cassel, City Clerk - 35 - Exhibit “A” to By-law XXXX/XX Amendment 38 to the City of Pickering Official Plan - 36 - Recommended Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan Purpose: The purpose of this Amendment is to add new policies and change existing policies and land use designations to the Pickering Official Plan to enable the redevelopment and intensification of the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node, and to identify required infrastructure improvements and transportation connections throughout the area in support of anticipated population and employment growth. These new policies will also complement and augment the corporate vision of “Sustainable Placemaking” by promoting land uses and built form that are transit oriented, environmentally friendly and supportive of mixed use development and walkability. Location: This amendment applies to lands generally fronting along the north and south sides of Kingston Road between the Rouge National Urban Park in the west, the Pine Creek to the east (inclusive of 1340 Rougemount Drive; 1409 Rosebank Road; 1460, 1467,1475 Whites Road; 944, 950, 975 Merritton Road; 4 Evelyn Avenue; 1101A Kingston Road; 1099 and 1101 Dixie Road); lands fronting on to the north side of Kingston Road, east of Diana Princess of Wales Park extending easterly, up to and including the Durham Regional Police Service property at 1710 Kingston Road; and all lands along the east side of Brock Road, north of Highway 401 and south of Kingston Road which comprise the “Specialty Retailing Node” in the Pickering Official Plan and 1709 Kingston Road. The subject lands have an area of approximately 144 hectares within the City of Pickering. Basis: The Provincial Policy Statement and A Place to Grow, provide strong direction for increased intensification and planning for complete communities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region. These policies support planning for intensification within the existing built-up area and transit-supportive development in proximity to frequent public transit. The Kingston Road Corridor and the Specialty Retailing Node have been identified as Strategic Growth Areas within the City of Pickering.

and (c) require impacts on the pedestrian and cyclist environment from goods movement within the intensification areas to be considered and mitigated through measures such as wider sidewalks and landscaping schemes to reduce noise and visual - 61 - Recommended Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 26 impacts within pedestrian areas and to provide additional buffering. 11A.12.6 City Council shall, (a) encourage, where possible, shared driveways, parking ramps and servicing areas between two or more properties to maximize building frontages and minimize the number of required curb cuts; (b) where such shared facilities are provided, require each landowner to provide a reciprocal easement in favour of the other landowner(s); (c) seek establishment of service streets and laneways with access off streets with lower levels of traffic, and to avoid interrupting active street frontages; (d) require service laneways to be designed in accordance with the applicable urban design guidelines; and (e) recognize, in particular, two proposed private streets in the Rougemount Precinct south of Kingston Road as shown on Schedule XIV, as service streets and laneways. Since services are only provided to the north, only one sidewalk is required to be provided on the north side of the two service streets/laneways. 11A.13 City Council supports the optimization of infrastructure and a coordinated and integrated approach to the provision of infrastructure and services. Accordingly, the following principles shall apply, in addition to the provisions of Section 7.10 of this Plan, with regard to servicing the intensification areas: (a) development should be sequenced to ensure that appropriate transportation, municipal servicing and community infrastructure are available; (b) planned investment and expansion of infrastructure shall, wherever possible, be concurrent with and support growth; (c) strategies shall be implemented for energy and water conservation, including energy and water demand management; (d) the City will work with the Region of Durham, utility providers, and other appropriate stakeholders to prioritize infrastructure and servicing improvements, including burying of utilities, where feasible, and to ensure sufficient infrastructure capacity within the area to support growth; - 62 - Recommended Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 27 (e) the City will work with landowners and the Region of Durham to develop a plan for the phasing of extensions to existing services within the area to allow development to proceed as expeditiously as possible; and (f) consideration shall be given to the impacts associated with climate change, including an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, in the design and longevity of infrastructure services. 11A.13.1 City Council shall require proposals for large-scale development to be accompanied by a stormwater management plan or equivalent to the satisfaction of the City, in consultation with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, that: (a) is informed by a subwatershed plan or equivalent for the area, where applicable; (b) aligns with the stormwater master plan or equivalent for the area, where applicable; and, (c) incorporates an integrated treatment approach to minimize stormwater flows including appropriate low impact development and green infrastructure. 11A.14 City Council shall, (a) require development applications on larger sites, identified through the implementing zoning by-law, to provide a block development plan to demonstrate the full build out of new streets and blocks within the site, potential connections to adjacent sites, redevelopment within all future blocks, and the provision of supporting open spaces and community infrastructure as required. The block development plans shall be accompanied by supporting technical studies that provide a level of information sufficient to assess the ultimate infrastructure and other requirements of full build out; (b) require the expansion of the street network into a finer grid of streets and connections to occur incrementally with development, with new public streets being secured through the development application process and/or through cost-sharing by benefitting landowners, to the satisfaction of the City; (c) where appropriate and necessitated by timing considerations, require financial front-ending agreements to expedite infrastructure delivery. Agreements for cost-sharing will be implemented where appropriate to facilitate the provision of infrastructure and allocate the related costs of development amongst local landowners; and - 63 - Recommended Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 28 (d) support the use of the Holding provisions in the Planning Act and require where necessary, proponents to enter into agreements with the City, Region,other agencies, and adjacent landowners as appropriate, respecting various development related matters including but not limited to: (i) servicing or relocation of infrastructure including any required studies; (ii) requiring a multi-modal transportation study for proposed developments that are anticipated to generate 75 or more vehicle peak hour trips (two-way), or where site and design characteristics may result in traffic or transportation concerns, to assess the impact on the transportation system and the timing and need for future improvements; (iii) entering into cost-sharing and front ending agreements; (iv) ensuring that development shall not take place on lands within the defined Creek corridors; (v) providing or exchanging easements over lands where necessary; (vi) providing contributions to the cost of rehabilitating the Creek corridors, if necessary; (vii) requiring a comprehensive functional servicing and stormwater management plan that addresses stormwater management on a site-by-site basis; and (viii) requiring a block development plan. 11A.14.1 City Council shall, (a) encourage and support the relocation of uses that are incompatible with the vision for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas. These include new auto- oriented development, industrial uses, or uses requiring extensive outdoor storage or surface parking; (b) discourage the expansion of existing uses that require outdoor storage; (c) seek to ensure redevelopment adjacent to existing incompatible uses balances the mitigation of impacts with the integration and future redevelopment of such sites through building, site and streetscape design strategies; and - 64 - Recommended Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 29 (d) despite sections 11A.14.1 (a) and (b), consider permitting minor expansions to legally existing retail and commercial uses, provided: (i) the maximum floor area is no greater than 10% of the existing building; (ii) where possible, the building expansion is located away from the Kingston or Brock Road frontages, in order to maximize opportunities for future infill of mixed use, higher density development along transit corridors; and (iii) consideration should be made to locating the building in a manner that facilitates the long term road network and to consider opportunities for consolidated or shared accesses between sites and does not preclude the ability of the lands to develop in accordance with the policies of Chapter 11A. 11A.14.2 City Council, shall undertake measures to stimulate economic growth and vitality within the intensification areas.
