Exhibit “A” to By-law 7945/22
Recommended Amendment 45
to the City of Pickering Official Plan
Recommended Amendment 45 to the Pickering Official Plan
Purpose: The purpose of this site specific amendment is to increase the permitted
density on the lands from ‘over 80 units per net hectare and up to and
including 180 units per hectare’, to a net residential density of ‘over 80 units
per hectare’, with no maximum; to increase the permitted maximum Floor
Space Index (FSI) from ‘over 0.75 and up to and including 2.5’ to a maximum
FSI of 5.0; and to allow additional permissible uses, including medium and
high density residential, retailing of goods and services, offices and
restaurants. This amendment is necessary to permit a phased, high-density,
mixed-use development, on the subject lands.
Location: The subject lands are part of a larger property, having a total area of
approximately 19.5 hectares, located on the east side of Brock Road, north of
Pickering Parkway and south of Kingston Road, municipally known as
1899 Brock Road. This amendment applies only to a 2.85 hectare portion of
the entire landholdings owned by Calloway REIT (Pickering) Inc., located at
the northeast corner of Brock Road and Pickering Parkway. (A Location Map is
attached for reference, but does not form part of Amendment 45).
Basis: The subject lands are currently designated “Mixed Use Areas – Speciality
Retailing Node” within the City of Pickering Official Plan, and are subject to the
Village East Neighbourhood Policies. However, through the Kingston Road
Corridor and Brock Node Intensification Study, and its implementing
Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan, these lands have been identified
as part of a strategic growth area by the City.
Concurrent with the Study, a site specific amendment was submitted to permit
a major mixed-use development comprising 5 towers ranging in heights from
25 to 32 storeys, with a total of approximately 1,600 units, and approximately
4,500 square metres of commercial space. The proposed development is
generally in keeping with the goals of the Council endorsed Kingston Road
Corridor and Speciality Retailing Node Intensification Plan for the Brock
Precinct, and in keeping with the policies within the Council approved Official
Plan Amendment 38.
The proposed development is located along Brock Road, which is designated
as an arterial road and a Rapid Transit Spine under the Durham Regional
Official Plan. The proposal provides for a mix of uses and densities that allow
for the efficient use of land in an area that is supported by existing and
planned transit services along Brock Road and Kingston Road. Furthermore,
the proposal will utilize existing municipal infrastructure and services and
future improvements. The amendment is consistent with the policies of the
Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, and conforms to A Place to Grow, (Office
Consolidation 2020) and the Durham Regional Official Plan.
Actual
Amendment: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by:
1.Revising Policy 12.11 – Village East Neighbourhood Policies, by deleting the word
“and” at the end of subsection (h); deleting the “.” at the end of subsection (i) and
replacing it with “; and”; and by adding a new subsection 12.11 (j) as follows:
“(j) despite the Permissible Uses for lands designated “Mixed Use Areas – Specialty
Retailing Node” as set out in Table 5, and the maximum net residential density
and maximum floor space index permissions for lands designated “Mixed Use
Areas - Speciality Retailing Node” as set out in Table 6, for lands located at the
northeast corner of Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, being approximately
2.85 hectares in size. City Council shall permit the following:
(i)additional permissible uses including medium and high density residential,
retailing of goods and services, offices, and restaurants;
(ii)a net residential density over 80 units per hectare; and
(iii)a maximum floor space index of 5.0.”
Implementation: The provisions set forth in the City of Pickering Official Plan, as amended,
regarding the implementation of the Plan shall apply in regard to this
Amendment.
Interpretation: The provisions set forth in the City of Pickering Official Plan, as amended,
regarding the interpretation of the Plan shall apply in regard to this
Amendment.
