That Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 22-002P, submitted by Pickering Ridge Lands Inc., to amend the Pickering Official Plan by adding site-specific policies for the lands located at the northeast corner of Brock Road and Highway 401, municipally known as 1755 Pickering Parkway: to permit a maximum building height of 36 storeys; by adding policies respecting a future urban-format school site; and by amending Schedule XIV, Sheet 4 of 4 - Brock Precinct Intensification Area of Official Plan Amendment 38 to incorporate a revised road network and public park, and to add a signalized intersection, as they relate to the subject lands to facilitate a phased, high-density, mixed-use development, be approved: and that the draft By-law to adopt Amendment 56 to the Pickering Official Plan, as detailed in Attachment 1 to Report PLN 07-26, be forwarded to Council for enactment; and, 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 05/22, submitted by Pickering Ridge Lands Inc., to permit a phased high-density, mixed-use development, located at the northeast corner of Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, municipally known as 1755 Pickering Parkway, consisting of 13 towers with building heights ranging between 12 storeys to 36 storeys, containing approximately 5,109 apartment dwelling units; and a minimum of 17,370 square metres of commercial, retail and office space, be approved, subject to the proposed zoning provisions contained within Attachment 2 to Report PLN 07-26; and that staff be authorized to finalize and forward an implementing Zoning By-law to Council for enactment. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 2 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval for the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications submitted by Pickering Ridge Lands Inc., to enable a multi-phased, high-density, mixed-use development located at the northeast corner of Brock Road and Highway 401 (see Location Map, Attachment 3). The applicant's initial proposal consisted of 7 phases, including 12 towers ranging from 20 to 43 storeys, 26,693 square metres of retail and commercial space, 5,297 residential units, and 1.04 hectares of public parkland. In response to concerns raised by City staff, agencies, and members of the public, the applicant revised the Conceptual Master Plan. The following key changes have been made:  a reduction in the total number of residential units from 5,297 to 5,109 units, a decrease of 188 units;  a redistribution of building heights across the site to minimize shadow impacts, and to provide a more appropriate transition to surrounding residential areas, including reducing maximum building heights from 43 to 36 storeys, and one tower from 20 storeys to 12 storeys;  a reduction in the floor space index from 4.73 to 3.69;  an increase in public park space from 1.04 to 1.38 hectares;  an increase in total parking supply from 4,238 to 5,529 spaces, representing an additional 1,291 parking spaces;  a reconfiguration of the proposed public and private road network, and an increase in public road right-of-way width from 18.5 metres to 20 metres in accordance with City standards;  the inclusion of a future urban podium school, if required by the school boards;  the inclusion of 18,432 square metres of office space;  a commitment that 1.75 percent of the development will be provided as affordable housing units, resulting in 88 affordable units (10 of which are to be provided in Phase 1); and,  a commitment that 15% of the residential units will consist of 3-bedroom units (including a den) to provide family-sized units. The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to allow a site-specific increase to the maximum building height to 36 storeys, introduce a policy that would enable a future potential urban school site, and revise Schedule XIV: Sheet 4 of 4 – Brock Precinct of Official Plan Amendment 38 to reflect a revised road pattern, park layout, and signalized intersection. The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to permit a broad range of residential, retail commercial, and office uses, and to establish appropriate development standards, including building setbacks, building height, floor space index, tower floor plate size, building separation and parking requirements. The site-specific zoning By-law also includes Holding Symbols that PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 3 must be satisfied prior to development proceeding, including matters related to servicing, transportation and other agency requirements. Future Site Plan applications will be required for each phase to address technical matters such as building treatment, servicing, grading, stormwater management, landscaping, transportation, and construction management. City Development staff support the revised Conceptual Master Plan. The proposal represents an appropriate form of intensification on an underutilized commercial site in the urban area, in proximity to a prominent gateway near the intersection of Pickering Parkway and Brock Road. The revised plan establishes a strong urban edge along Brock Road and Pickering Parkway while creating a pedestrian-oriented environment supported by ground-floor retail and commercial uses, office spaces, and publicly accessible parkland. The proposal also contributes to the City’s housing objectives by providing a diverse mix of housing types, including affordable housing and family-size units, and by supporting the potential integration of a future urban school site. The scale and density of development are appropriate for a location served by existing and planned transit along Brock Road and within proximity to the future Bus Rapid Transit along Kingston Road. Overall, the proposal represents efficient use of land and infrastructure, is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, and generally conforms to the policies of Official Plan Amendment 38. The proposal represents good planning and will be developed in an orderly manner. Accordingly, staff recommend that Council approve Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 22-002P and that the draft By-law to adopt Amendment 56, as outlined in Attachment 1, be finalized and forwarded to Council for adoption. Staff also recommend Council approve Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 05/22, and that the implementing zoning By-law, as outlined in Attachment 2, be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated due to the proposed development. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval of applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment, submitted by Pickering Ridge Lands Inc. The applicant proposes a multi-phase, high-density, mixed-use development featuring 13 towers, about 5,109 residential units, and at least 17,370 square metres of commercial, retail and office space. The proposal also includes a new public road and a central public park. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 4 This report outlines how the proposal conforms to the new Provincial Planning Statement, the Durham Regional Official Plan, and the Official Plan's intensification policies. It also summarizes the revisions made in response to public feedback, and explains how the proposed density, building height, and scale are compatible with the surrounding land uses. Additionally, the report addresses comments from residents and the Planning and Development Committee. 5.0 Background: 5.1 Property Description The subject property is situated at the northeast corner of Brock Road and Highway 401, known as “The Shops at Pickering Ridge” (see Location Map, Attachment 3). The site covers approximately 9.48 hectares, with frontages along Brock Road to the west and Pickering Parkway to the north. It is an irregularly shaped parcel with a commercial shopping plaza having a total gross floor area of approximately 26,585 square metres. The subject lands include several single-storey, stand-alone, and multi-tenanted buildings, providing a variety of retail, commercial, and restaurant options. Surrounding land uses include (see Air Photo Map, Attachment 4): North: At the southeast corner of Pickering Parkway and Brock Road, there is a stand-alone retail use with an automobile service station (Canadian Tire). Across Pickering Parkway to the north is another commercial plaza with various restaurants, retail stores, and other commercial uses. These lands are subject to approved applications for Official Plan Amendment (OPA 20- 003P) and Zoning By-law Amendment (A 07/20), which permit a phased high-density, mixed- use development. To the northeast of the subject lands, south of Pickering Parkway, is a recently constructed medium-density residential development consisting of block and back-to- back townhouse dwelling units. Further north of Pickering Parkway is an existing low-density residential neighbourhood consisting primarily of single-detached dwellings and Beechlawn Public Park. East: To the east are lands owned by the City of Pickering, intended for the future construction of the Notion Road overpass. The municipal boundary of Pickering extends to Notion Road. East of Notion Road, within the Town of Ajax, land uses include St. Francis de Sales Catholic Cemetery and an industrial area with outdoor aggregate storage, motor vehicle repair shops, towing businesses, and recycling services. South: Immediately to the south is Highway 401 and the Metrolinx/Canadian National Railway corridor. Southeast of Highway 401 is the Durham Live Casino and Hotel. West: Across Brock Road at the southwest corner is an existing automobile service station and a Tim Hortons drive-through restaurant. Further west are two 8-storey residential buildings, a retirement residence, and townhouse dwelling units. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 5 5.2 Applicant’s Original and Revised Conceptual Master Plan for the entire landholdings The applicant initially proposed a Conceptual Master Plan outlining their long-term vision for their landholdings. The original proposal was for a multi-phased, high-density, mixed-use development comprising of 7 buildings with a total of 12 towers ranging in height from 20 to 43 storeys. The plan included approximately 5,297 residential units and approximately 26,103 square metres of non-residential space (see Original Conceptual Master Plan (2022), Attachment 5). The proposal also included a network of new private and public streets connecting to Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, a 1.04 hectare central public park to be conveyed to the City, and several privately owned publicly accessible spaces (POPS) distributed throughout the site. In response to comments from City departments, external agencies, the Planning and Development Committee and area residents, the applicant submitted a revised Conceptual Master Plan. The revised plan includes several changes to the original proposal. The table below summarizes the key revisions (see Revised Conceptual Master Plan (2026), Attachment 6). Original Proposal Revised Proposal Proposed Change Net Floor Area (NFA) 334,427 sq. metres 350,442 sq. metres Increased by 16,015 sq. metres Floor Space Index (FSI) 4.73 3.69 Reduced by 1.04 Number of Phases 7 7 No change Building Heights Ranging from 20 storeys to 43 storeys Ranging from 12 storeys to 36 storeys Maximum height reduced by 7 storeys Total Number of Residential Units 5,297 units 5,109 units Reduced by 188 units Non-residential GFA  26,103 square metres of commercial/retail  23,802 square metres of which: 18,432 square metres of office space 5,370 square metres of commercial/retail Reduced by 1,816 sq. metres PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 6 Vehicular Parking Spaces A total of 4,238 parking spaces A total of 5,521 parking spaces Increased by 1,283 spaces Parking Ratio  Resident: 0.8 spaces per unit  Visitor: 0.15 spaces per unit  Commercial: 3.5 spaces per 100 square metres of gross floor area  Resident: 0.8 spaces per unit  Visitor: 0.15 spaces per unit  Commercial: 2.5 to 5.0 spaces per 100 sq. metres of gross floor area Parking requirements for specific commercial uses have been provided Public Parkland 1.04 hectares 1.38 hectares Increased by 0.34 hectares Privately Owned Publicly Accessible Spaces (POPS) 6,114 square metres 834 square metres Reduced by 5,280 square metres Bicycle Parking Spaces 2,649 spaces 2,679 spaces Increased by 30 spaces Affordable Housing Units None 88 units Increased by 88 units Vehicular access to the site is proposed from both Brock Road and Pickering Parkway. Access from Brock Road will be limited to right-in and right-out movements, located approximately 248 metres south of the intersection of Pickering Parkway and Brock Road. Two vehicular access points are proposed from Pickering Parkway, with the westerly access restricted to right-in and right-out movements. A traffic signal is also proposed at the easternmost intersection with Pickering Parkway to provide a full-moves intersection. The proposed public road configuration has been revised from the previous concept (see Original Conceptual Master Plan (2022), Attachment 5). The earlier plan included an east-west road extending from Brock Road to the eastern portion of the lands, north of the public park, connecting to a north-south road. The revised public road layout provides a more direct connection, allowing traffic to flow from Brock Road south along the edge of the public park and north toward Pickering Parkway (see Revised Conceptual Master Plan (2026), Attachment 6). The right-of-way width of the public road has also been revised from 18.5 metres to 20 metres to City standards. The right-of-way will include a 3.0 metre wide multi-use path on one side and a 1.8 metre wide sidewalk on the other side of the street. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 7 The removal of a portion of the previously proposed public road allows for a larger area of unencumbered public parkland. In addition, municipal servicing has been relocated within the proposed right-of-way to ensure the public parkland remains unencumbered. 5.3 Phase 1 redevelopment As noted above, the conceptual master plan will be developed in multiple phases. The phase 1 lands, approximately 11,814 square metres in area, are partially occupied by an existing commercial building, with tenants including but not limited to Sun Life Insurance, Kitchen Stuff Plus and Dollar Tree, as well as a surface parking area, which will be demolished to accommodate the redevelopment. The phase 1 lands have frontage on Brock Road and provide existing vehicular access. The applicant has indicated that the first phase includes 1 building with 2 towers, 32 and 36 storeys, situated on a 6-storey podium, with a total of 744 residential units. Approximately 1,400 square metres of retail space is proposed at grade, along with 834 square metres of POPS. Also included is 1,356 square metres of indoor amenity space and 2,712 square metres of outdoor amenity space located on rooftop terraces on floors 6 and 7, as well as at the rear of the proposed building. An application for Site Plan Approval for phase 1 has yet to be submitted. Future phases of the revised Conceptual Master Plan will be subject to applications for the Draft Plan of Subdivision, Site Plan Approval, and Draft Plan of Condominium. 6.0 Public Engagement: 6.1 Public Open House Meeting A Public Open House Meeting was held on September 18, 2024, to inform residents about the proposed development. Notices were mailed to all properties within 150 metres of the subject property. At the request of the Ward Councillors, notices were also sent to a broader area. In total, 874 property owners received notices. Four notice signs were installed on the property, and the notice was also promoted through the City’s social media channels. Approximately 22 residents attended the Open House Meeting. 6.2 Statutory Public Meeting A Statutory Public Meeting regarding the applications was held on November 4, 2024. Notice of the meeting was mailed to all properties within 150 metres of the subject property, to individuals who attended the Open House Meeting, and to those who submitted written PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 8 comments on the application and/or requested notification of future meetings. In total, 370 property owners received notices by mail. Four notice signs were also installed on the property and posted on the City’s social media channels. One resident provided a delegation at the Statutory Public Meeting. 7.0 Comments Received: 7.1 Comments received by the public The following is a summary of comments received from the public through public meetings and written submissions.  concerns over rising traffic congestion.  concerns regarding the loss of current retail and commercial spaces, as well as questions on existing lease agreements.  concerns about the shadow effects on the proposed public park.  questions regarding the location of the proposed public park, the availability of on-street parking, and the types of amenities the park will feature.  questions about when the public park will be delivered, in Phase 1 and the full build-out.  concerns regarding the deficiency of new schools and community spaces to accommodate future residents.  concerns regarding parking rates and their impacts on existing businesses, future residents, and visitors.  concerns regarding compatibility with surrounding land uses.  concerns that the current infrastructure, including roads and bridges, requires upgrades to support this development.  questions regarding the timeline for the complete development build-out.  consideration of reducing the proposed tower heights.  clarification on the proposed density and floor space index (FSI).  clarification on the quantity and types of units proposed for each phase, as well as affordable housing.  questions regarding the proposed vehicular entrances, accesses, and signalization. 7.2 Comments from External Agencies 7.2.1 Region of Durham  No objections to the proposed development, subject to a (“H”) Holding provision to be implemented until the Owner enters into an agreement with the Region of Durham that demonstrates sufficient sanitary and water supply capacity to enable the full development of the site, or an individual building within the site, and that a financially secured agreement has been entered into with the Region of Durham. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 9  A front-ending agreement must be secured with the Region for constructing any section or phase of sanitary or water infrastructure as outlined in the Region’s Development Charge Background Study, and it must be approved by the Regional Council.  outstanding technical issues related to detailed site servicing, stormwater management, waste management, transportation, and the conveyance of daylighting triangles will be further reviewed through future applications for Site Plan Approval. 7.2.2 Durham Region Transit  No objections to the applications. 7.2.3 Metrolinx  No objections to the proposed development.  Before site plan approval, a final noise study shall be submitted to Metrolinx to their satisfaction.  Confirmation must be provided to Metrolinx that warning clauses have been inserted into all Development Agreements, Offers to Purchase, and Agreements of Purchase and Sale or Lease for each unit within 300 metres of the Railway Corridor.  Before Site Plan Approval, the Owner must grant an Environmental Easement to Metrolinx to register operational emissions on title for all uses within 300 metres of the rail right-of- way. 7.2.4 Ministry of Transportation (MTO)  No objections to the proposed development.  A Traffic Impact Study will be required to be submitted with each phase of development, along with associated Terms of Reference. 7.2.5 Durham Regional Police – Radio Systems  The proposed development will not cause any immediate obstruction issues for the Region’s NextGen radio system and associated microwave links.  The buildings will need to be tested for in-building coverage once they are constructed. 7.2.6 Durham District School Board (DDSB)  Based on the proposed unit breakdown, the expected elementary student yield from this 7- phase development is 1,022 students, along with 1,022 secondary students. Based on these numbers, the DDSB has determined that a school site is necessary.  DDSB has no objections to the subject applications; however, it is requested that an (“H”) Holding provision be included within the Zoning By-law to be imposed on all phases except Phase 1. This would enable the applicant to proceed with Phase 1. For the remaining six PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 10 phases, the hold will remain until the applicant prepares a study evaluating existing community services and facilities, to the satisfaction of the DDSB, which analyzes and assesses the current need for a new school site. 7.2.7 Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB)  DCDSB has raised no objections to the proposed development.  Students resulting from this development will attend St. Wilfrid Catholic School at 2360 Southcott Road and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School at 1918 Whites Road. 7.2.8 Canadian National Railway (CN)  CN has confirmed that the proposed development is feasible and can be designed to comply with the CN, Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), and the Railway Association of Canada (RAC) Guidelines for new development activities near railway operations, as well as the Ministry of Environment guidelines.  The subject site is within 300 metres of CN’s Main Line; therefore, suitable conditions must be included in all Development Agreements, Offers to Purchase, and Agreements of Purchase and Sale or Lease for each dwelling unit within 300 metres of the railway right-of- way.  The Owner will be required, through restrictive covenants, to be registered on title and agreements of purchase and sale or lease, and to provide notice to the public regarding noise and vibration.  The Owner must grant CN an environmental easement for operational noise and vibration emissions, registered against the subject property in favour of CN.  CN’s counsel advised staff that they would prefer the above items be resolved through the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment process, rather than the Site Plan Approval process. As such, an (“H”) Holding provision has been included within the Zoning By-law that requires the Applicant to enter into a Development Agreement with CN and that Environmental Easements in favour of CN be registered on title of the lands before the holding provision can be lifted, and any residential development can be built. CN has reviewed the holding provision and is satisfied. 7.2.9 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)  TRCA has no objections to the proposed development.  Matters related to water balance, erosion control, and stormwater management will be further reviewed through a future site plan application, and appropriate conditions of approval will be included as part of the Site Plan Approval.

It promotes the creation of strong, healthy communities through efficient development and land use patterns, the wise use and management of resources, and the protection of public health and safety. The PPS requires planning authorities to provide an appropriate range and mix of housing options and densities to meet the needs of current and future residents. Housing options are defined to include multi-residential buildings. The PPS directs planning authorities to promote intensification and redevelopment within Settlement Areas to support the development of complete communities. It also requires municipalities to permit all forms of residential intensification, including the development of new housing options within existing built-up areas. The proposed development is consistent with the PPS as it supports intensification within a defined Settlement Area. The subject lands are near a future Scarborough-Durham Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor and a future high-frequency bus route along Brock Road planned by Durham Region Transit. The proposed development promotes the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public investment by facilitating residential intensification, including the redevelopment of existing commercial sites. The mixed-use nature of the development supports commercial, retail and office space while encouraging active transportation and transit use. The proposal also contributes to the creation of a complete community by providing a range and mix of land uses, including diverse housing options, multimodal transportation access, public service facilities and institutional uses (such as a school), as well as parks and open spaces to meet long-term community needs. Accordingly, the revised Conceptual Master Plan is consistent with the 2024 PPS. 8.2 The proposal conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan “Envision Durham” On May 17, 2023, Durham Regional Council adopted the new Official Plan “Envision Durham,” as amended. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved the Official Plan in part on September 3, 2024, and the remainder on December 13, 2024. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 13 On January 1, 2025, Durham Region became an upper-tier municipality without land use responsibilities. Pursuant to Subsection 70.13(2) of the Planning Act, the Durham Region Official Plan is considered to be the Official Plan of the City for any area within the City to which it applies and will remain in effect until the City revokes or amends it. The Regional Official Plan (ROP) designates the property as a Rapid Transit Corridor. These corridors are meant to provide vital links to other key growth areas in the Region and have been given density permissions to support the development of higher-order transit services. The Rapid Transit Corridor designation aims to accommodate a variety of uses, including underutilized commercial, retail, institutional, residential, personal services, offices, and other functions, while encouraging appropriate built forms. Furthermore, the ROP indicates that at least 50% of all new residential units across the Region should be achieved through intensification each year. The ROP describes intensification as developing a property or area at a higher density than currently exists, such as transforming a vacant or underutilized lot within an established built-up area. The ROP also states that Rapid Transit Corridors are the most significant regional corridors. The proposal aligns with the ROP by introducing a variety of housing options and densities that support transit use and promote a pedestrian-oriented neighbourhood, featuring a broad mix of commercial and institutional uses and different unit sizes. Accordingly, the revised Conceptual Master Plan conforms to the Region of Durham’s “Envision Durham” Official Plan. 8.3 The Applicant’s site-specific Official Plan Amendment is appropriate and is consistent with the Official Plan Amendment 38 In January 2022, Council adopted City Initiated Official Plan Amendment 38 (OPA 38), which was approved by the Region of Durham in November 2022. OPA 38 was subsequently appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) by six landowners. On December 19, 2024, the OLT approved OPA 38 (in part), except for lands subject to site-specific appeals. As the subject lands are not among the properties under site-specific appeal, the policies of OPA 38 are now in full force and effect with respect to these lands. The subject lands are located within the Brock Precinct and are subject to multiple land use designations. The western portion is designated “Mixed Use Type A” and “Public Park”, while the eastern portion is designated “Mixed Use Type C”, “Residential”, and “Natural Area”. The minimum permitted residential density is over 60 units per net hectare, with no maximum. The permitted residential floor space index (FSI) ranges from over 0.75 to a maximum of 2.5. OPA 38 permits consideration of an increase in FSI beyond 2.5, up to 5.0, through a site- specific zoning By-law amendment, provided the following criteria are satisfied:  that the site is generally located in an appropriate gateway location and/or adjacent to Highway 401;  that the proposal is compatible with adjacent land uses, particularly stable residential neighbourhoods, in terms of massing, height, scale and transition; PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 14  that the applicant demonstrates 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 policies of Chapter 11A of the Official Plan Amendment 38. The applicant had submitted Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications prior to OPA 38 coming into full force and effect. At the time, the requested amendments sought to:  permit a minimum net residential density of over 80 units per net hectare, with no maximum;  increase the maximum permitted FSI to 5.0; and,  introduce additional uses, including medium and high-density residential, retail and service commercial uses, offices, and restaurants. As OPA 38 is now in effect, those original amendments are no longer applicable. The current site-specific Official Plan Amendment is required to:  permit a maximum building height of 36 storeys;  add policies enabling school boards to secure an urban format school site; and,  amend Schedule XIV, Sheet 4 of 4, of the Brock Precinct Intensification Area to reflect the revised public road pattern and parkland configuration. The revised Conceptual Master Plan satisfies the criteria of OPA 38 for permitting an FSI increase to 4.0, as follows: A. Appropriate Location  The subject lands are directly adjacent to Highway 401 and located along an arterial road and transit corridor.  The site is within an 8-minute drive to the Pickering GO station and planned higher-order transit routes along Kingston Road. B. Compatibility and Transition The proposed development has been designed to provide appropriate transition and compatibility with existing low to medium-density residential development and planned high- density development to the north through:  strategic tower placement and orientation to maintain appropriate separation distances, minimize overlook and shadow impacts, and reduce visual intrusion on existing residential areas;  building stepbacks and tiering to reduce perceived height and massing and create a gradual visual transition; PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 15  appropriate building setbacks that allow for additional landscaping, mitigate privacy impacts, and support a pedestrian-friendly streetscape along Brock Road, Pickering Parkway and proposed internal roads;  careful placement of amenity areas and landscaped buffers to soften the interface and enhance screening between higher- and lower-intensity uses; and,  graduated height transitions, with taller buildings concentrated near Highway 401 and Brock Road, and heights stepping down toward existing residential areas to ensure an appropriate scale transition consistent with OPA 38. C. Orderly development of adjacent lands  The proposed development will not preclude the development or redevelopment of adjacent lands within the precinct.  Immediately east of the subject lands is the proposed Highway 401 Road Crossing (Notion Road to Squires Beach). An Environmental Assessment completed in 2019 identified the need for this crossing to improve north-south neighbourhood connectivity and transportation capacity.  The applicant has agreed to convey 0.17 hectares to facilitate the future road connection, as a condition of a future application for Draft Plan of Subdivision or Site Plan Approval for the first phase of development.  The proposal also supports potential redevelopment of lands to the northwest (Canadian Tire site) by aligning future road connections and providing opportunities to connect to the proposed public park, generally consistent with OPA 38. The proposed phased, mixed-use, high-density residential development represents appropriate intensification within the built-up area. The site’s location adjacent to Highway 401 and Brock Road, a designated transit corridor, makes it well-suited to accommodate increased density. The proposed maximum FSI of 4.0 satisfies the criteria of OPA 38, as outlined above. The proposed development efficiently utilizes existing and planned municipal infrastructure, supports transit use and active transportation, and contributes to the creation of a complete, livable community. The proposal introduces a compact built form on underutilized lands within a designated mixed-use corridor and contributes toward achieving the City’s intensification goals. Accordingly, staff recommend that Council approve the Official Plan Amendment application, and adopt Amendment 56, as set out in the Draft By-law, Attachment 1. 8.4 The proposal maintains the key urban design objectives of the Council-endorsed Urban Design Guidelines for the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node On December 16, 2019, Council approved the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Urban Design Guidelines (Design Guidelines). The Design Guidelines support the goals, objectives, and vision outlined in the Intensification Plan, and establish design priorities and principles for built form, placemaking, and connectivity. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 16 The proposed phased, high-density, mixed-use development advances the key urban design objectives of the Guidelines as follows:  provides clearly defined primary entrances oriented towards Brock Road and Pickering Parkway;  incorporates connected outdoor amenity areas and pedestrian pathways within the site and provides linkages to the surrounding area, supporting walkability;  creates pedestrian-oriented frontages along Brock Road and Pickering Parkway through podium elements and grade-related commercial uses;  includes a central park fronting onto a new public road (Street A), providing accessible open space for the neighbourhood and the broader community;  limits tower floor plates to a maximum of 850 square metres and provides a minimum tower separation of 25.0 metres to promote appropriate light access, privacy and sky views;  ensures building heights provide an appropriate transition to the existing residential development to the north and east;  sets buildings back a minimum of 5.0 metres from the front property lines along Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, and a minimum of 3.0 metres along the proposed new public road;  provides podiums with a maximum height of 6 storeys to establish a consistent pedestrian- scaled street wall along Brock Road, Pickering Parkway, and internal streets; and,  locates site access, surface parking, loading area, and underground parking entrances internal to the site, and behind, or to the side, of proposed buildings to minimize their visual impact on Brock Road and Pickering Parkway. Staff are satisfied that the proposal is consistent with the overall intent of the Council-approved Urban Design Guidelines. Throughout the Site Plan review process, staff will continue to ensure that the detailed site design and architectural treatment of the proposed buildings remain consistent with the Guidelines. 8.5 The proposal has been redesigned to reduce proposed building heights, and provide an appropriate transition in built form from the adjacent residential areas Comments were received regarding the proposed building heights and massing. Staff also identified concerns related to the transition between the proposed development and the abutting medium-density housing to the northeast (Metropia) and the low-density residential development north of Pickering Parkway. In response to these concerns, the applicant revised the proposal to reduce building heights and improve separation from the abutting Metropia development. In particular, the height of the building in Block 7, located immediately south of the existing residential townhouse units, has been reduced from 20 storeys to 12 storeys. An 18.5 metre wide private road and amenity area now separates the buildings in Blocks 5 and 7 from the adjacent residential properties. In addition, the buildings have been stepped back along the north façades to reduce their visual impact at street level and improve compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood. Further, the buildings in Block 5 have also been tiered to provide a more gradual transition to the Metropia development. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 17 Block 6, located immediately west of the Metropia development and south of Pickering Parkway, has also been revised to increase separation. This separation now includes a 20- metre-wide municipal right-of-way and an outdoor amenity space. Staff worked collaboratively with the applicant to further refine tower heights along Pickering Parkway, reducing select towers from 34 storeys to 28 and 22 storeys. To further ensure an appropriate transition to the adjacent Metropia development, the proposed buildings have been designed to fit within a 45-degree angular plane. An angular plane is a common planning tool used to limit building heights near existing low-rise or mid-rise housing, reducing overlook and shadowing impacts. The requirements for angular plane provisions have been included in the Zoning By-law. Overall, the revised building height, increased separation distances, and the inclusion of an angular plane requirement will minimize potential impacts on residents of the Metropia development and the existing residents north of Pickering Parkway, including concerns related to overlook, privacy and shadowing. 8.6 The revised Conceptual Master Plan will have minimal shadow impacts The Draft Urban Design Guidelines specify that shadow impacts of new buildings on nearby residential lands must be assessed through a Shadow Impact Study, and that shadowing be minimized to the greatest extent possible during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Best practice for assessing shadow impacts is to ensure shadows do not exceed two hours in duration on outdoor amenity areas during spring, summer, and fall. During the winter solstice, shadows are typically cast farther and last longer, as the sun is lower in the sky and moves more slowly. A revised Shadow Study was submitted in February 2026 to support the revised Conceptual Master Plan. The study evaluates the impacts of shadows on public park spaces and surrounding properties during spring (March 21), summer (June 21), and fall (September 21), between 9:18 am and 6:18 pm. In collaboration with City staff, the applicant refined the distribution and heights of the proposed towers to maximize sunlight exposure, particularly on the proposed public park, and adjacent medium and low-density residential development to the northeast of the subject lands. The updated sun-shadow analysis indicates:  Spring (March 21): Some early-morning shadows, primarily before noon, with no significant afternoon impact, with suitable sunlight exposure during the early afternoon and around 5 pm. The public park will receive approximately three hours of unobstructed sunlight. The adjacent residential development to the east and north will receive more than six hours of unobstructed sunlight.  Summer (June 21): Minimal shadowing on the public park, with approximately seven hours of full sunlight. The adjacent residential development to the east and north will receive more than six hours of unobstructed sunlight. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 18  Fall (September 21): Morning shadowing is similar to spring conditions, with approximately three hours of unobstructed sunlight after noon. Minimal shadow impacts are anticipated on the adjacent residential development to the east and north during the day, providing five hours of unobstructed sunlight. In all seasons, afternoon sun access exceeds the best-practice amount of two hours per day, supporting usability and comfort within the public park area, and ensuring the existing adjacent residential developments receive adequate unobstructed sunlight. Overall, the revised Conceptual Master Plan appropriately mitigates shadow impacts on the proposed parks and existing residential developments. 8.7 A Traffic Impact Study has been submitted for the revised Conceptual Master Plan In support of the revised Conceptual Master Plan, the applicant has submitted a Transportation Impact Study (TIS), prepared by R.V. Anderson Associates Limited (“R.V. Anderson”), dated July 4, 2022, and revised versions on April 9, 2024, and January 20, 2025. A Traffic Impact Study addendum was also submitted on August 29, 2025. The TIS assessed the transportation impacts of the revised Conceptual Master Plan within the defined study area. The defined study area intersections considered for the traffic impact analysis included:  Brock Road at Kingston Road  Brock Road at Pickering Parkway  Brock Road at existing right-in/right-out access  Brock Road at the Highway 401 Westbound Ramp Terminal  Brock Road at the Highway 401 Eastbound Ramp Terminal  Kingston Road at Notion Road  Notion Road at Pickering Parkway  Pickering Parkway at the Canadian Tire/Walmart Site Access  Pickering Parkway at proposed site access In accordance with the Region of Durham’s Terms of Reference, the TIS evaluated traffic conditions based on the phased build-out. The analysis confirms that several signalized intersections, including Brock Road and Kingston Road, Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, and the Highway 401 ramps, are forecast to continue experiencing delays. However, these conditions reflect existing capacity constraints rather than impacts attributed solely to the proposed development. The proposed intersection of Pickering Parkway and Street ‘A’, a new 20-metre north-south public road connecting to Pickering Parkway, is expected to operate efficiently with the installation of a new traffic signal. This intersection will:  serve as the primary signalized access to the development from Pickering Parkway;  provide additional capacity and greater spacing from the existing signalization at the Canadian Tire/Smart Centre access; and, PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 19  comply with the Transportation Association of Canada’s (TAC) guidelines. The proposed right-in/right-out access at Brock Road and Street “A” is also expected to function effectively. All proposed internal roadway intersections associated with Phases 1 through 7 are projected to operate without critical delays. The proposal provides modifications to the access at Brock Road and Street “A” to accommodate the proposed east-west public road, which will provide access to Phase 1. As part of the modification, a 70-metre northbound right-turn lane will be implemented along Brock Road, and signage will be installed to guide right-turning vehicles. The proposed modifications to the right-in/right-out access at Brock Road and Street ‘A’ will ensure safe operations, with no anticipated queuing. The Region of Durham concurs with the TIS's overall findings. However, the Region notes that the surrounding road network currently experiences capacity constraints, with limited opportunities to expand within the existing rights-of-way to alleviate traffic congestion. To manage these constraints, the Region recommends:  maintaining free-flow conditions from Brock Road to Street “A” (i.e., no stop control on Street “A”);  considering a raised centre median on Pickering Parkway to restrict turning movements and reinforce right-in/right-out access at the westernmost Pickering Parkway access;  reducing driveway conflict points where possible; and,  restricting truck access to only Pickering Parkway, with signage prohibiting truck access from Brock Road. With each phase of development, the applicant will be required to submit an updated TIS to reevaluate the impacts on the existing intersections, the 401 ramps, and the new intersections within the development, and to implement any required mitigation measures. These matters will be reviewed further during detailed design and future Site Plan applications. Staff will continue to work with the applicant to ensure that all relevant measures are incorporated into the final site plan drawings and secured through the required site plan agreements. 8.8 Adequate parking supply will be provided for residents, visitors, and retail uses Concerns were raised regarding whether the number of proposed parking spaces for residents, visitors, and both existing and future commercial uses would be sufficient to support the revised Conceptual Master Plan. In response to concerns raised by staff and the public, the applicant revised the proposal to include specific parking ratios for non-residential uses permitted on the site. These ratios range from 2.5 to 5.0 spaces per 100 square metres of gross leasable floor area, depending on the commercial use. Establishing parking rates for these uses will help ensure an adequate supply of parking to support the proposed commercial, office, and retail uses within this development. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 20 Parking for the development is proposed primarily within five levels of underground parking, which will accommodate residential, visitor, and non-residential uses. Limited at-grade parking is also proposed to accommodate accessible parking spaces, short-term commercial parking, and on-street parking for park users. The table below summarizes the proposed parking supply for residential, visitor, and non- residential uses. Type Units/Area Proposed Parking Rate Number of Spaces 0.80 spaces per dwelling unit 4,087 Residential Apartment 5,109 0.15 spaces per dwelling unit (visitor) 766 Retail/Commercial/ Office 23,802 square metres 2.5 to 5.0 spaces per 100 square metres of commercial/retail use gross floor area (please refer to Attachment 2 - Zoning By-law Section 5.(4) for further details) 668 Total 5,521 To support the proposed parking ratios, the applicant submitted a Vehicle and Bicycle Space Parking Review. This review examined parking rates in comparable municipalities across the Greater Toronto Area, including the City’s Consolidated Zoning By-law and recently approved developments within the City Centre and along Brock Road. The review recommended using a shared parking formula, a visitor and commercial parking demand typically occurs at different times of day. The review concluded that the proposed parking rates are sufficient to support the development. The proposed parking ratios generally align with those in the City Centre within the City’s consolidated Zoning By-law 8149/24, as well as recent rezoning approvals for the SmartCentre redevelopment at the northeast corner of Brock Road and Pickering Parkway, and the lands at the northwest corner of Brock Road and Kingston Road. As mentioned earlier, for each development phase, a revised TIS or addendum will be required, including a parking assessment that monitors and reevaluates parking demand across phases to determine appropriate parking supply for future stages. Staff support the proposed parking ratios and believe sufficient parking spaces will be provided to accommodate this development. 8.9 The Master Plan protects for a future urban podium school PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 21 The Durham District School Board (DDSB) has reviewed the proposed Conceptual Master Plan and has advised that, based on the proposed total unit, the student yield from this development would generate 1,022 elementary pupils and 1,022 secondary pupils. DDSB also stated that, as part of the larger development in this area, a school site would be necessary. Typically, school boards must obtain approval and funding from the Ministry of Education before establishing a new school, and this generally occurs once existing schools within the catchment area reach full capacity. The need for a school site is based on the development's maximum build-out. As such, the exact timing and phase of development at which a school site may be required remain uncertain. To address this, the Zoning By-law Amendment incorporates an “H” Holding Symbol. This would allow Phase 1 development to proceed. The Holding Symbol would remain on the balance of the lands and would be lifted only after the applicant submits a Community and Service Facilities Study evaluating the need for a new school site. The DDSB has advised that Phase 1 would have minimal impact on school accommodation needs and supports applying the Holding Symbol to the remaining lands. The DDSB will review the Community and Services Facility Study as development phases proceed and, together with the City, must be satisfied with its findings before the Holding Symbol is removed. In addition, the Official Plan Amendment includes policies stating that if the DDSB, or a successor, determines that a school site is required on the subject lands, it will be accommodated as an urban school integrated within the podium of a high-rise building. The policies also address appropriate locational consideration, such as proximity to a municipal park and a public street. Appropriate conditions of approval for the future development application, such as Draft Plan of Subdivision, Site Plan, Land Severance, or a Draft Plan of Condominium, would require the land to be conveyed to the DDSB if an urban school is required. City staff and the DDSB are satisfied that the combination of the Official Plan Amendment policies and the Holding Symbol within the implementing Zoning By-law Amendment will adequately protect for a potential future public urban school should the need be confirmed as development proceeds. 8.10 Sufficient parkland is proposed The original master plan illustrated a central public park situated between two public streets. The park was approximately 0.97 hectares, representing 10% of the subject lands. However, the proposed park was encumbered by a below-grade sanitary sewer, resulting in a required 12-metre-wide easement in favour of the Region of Durham, which would have limited the types of structures and park features that could be developed in a portion of the park (see the Original Conceptual Master Plan, Attachment 5). The revised Conceptual Master Plan increases the size of the central public park by removing a segment of the originally proposed east-west public road. As a result, the proposed park has increased to 1.34 hectares, representing 14.5% of the subject lands. In addition, the parkland PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 22 to be conveyed to the City will be free of below-grade services, allowing the City greater flexibility in designing and constructing a range of park features and amenities. The revised Conceptual Master Plan also includes an 834 square-metre privately owned, publicly accessible park space (POPS) in Phase 1. This space is intended to function as an outdoor amenity area for Phase 1 residents, while remaining accessible to the public. The applicant will be required to grant an easement in favour of the City to ensure public access to the POPS, and to allow the space to contribute toward the City’s Parkland dedication requirements. Combined, the central public park space and the POPS represent 15% of the subject lands, meeting the requirements of the Planning Act and the City’s Parkland By-law 8142/24. While the amount of POPS space within each phase has been reduced from the original proposal, this has been balanced by the provision of a larger, unencumbered central public park, and adequate private indoor and outdoor amenity areas within each phase of development, which will be discussed further in Section 8.11. The central public park is proposed to be conveyed to the City through Phases 2 and 4. To help ensure the timely delivery of the park, the implementing Zoning By-law Amendment includes an “H” Holding Symbol on Phase 1 lands. The Holding Symbol can only be removed once the applicant and the City enter into a Master Parkland Agreement addressing the design, construction, and conveyance of the public central park to the City. 8.11 Sufficient outdoor open space and indoor amenity areas are provided The Zoning By-law Amendment also establishes minimum requirements for indoor and outdoor amenity areas for each building. Each building will be required to provide a minimum of 2 square metres per unit of indoor amenity area and a minimum of 2 square metres per unit of outdoor amenity area. Within the Phase 1 buildings, approximately 1,628 square metres of private indoor amenity space and about 2,295 square metres of private outdoor amenity space are proposed. The outdoor amenity includes areas on the podium’s roof, two landscaped areas at-grade located to the northeast and south of the building, and private balconies. As mentioned earlier, Phase 1 also includes an 834 square-metre POPS. Indoor amenity areas are proposed on the 6th and 7th floors and are connected by an outdoor amenity area on the podium's roof. The detailed design and programming of these private amenity areas will be finalized through the site plan review process. However, the applicant has indicated that the outdoor amenity areas in Phase 1 are intended to include a pet relief area and an urban style parkette. Overall, the revised Conceptual Master Plan provides adequate public parkland to serve future residents, visitors and the surrounding community, consistent with the Planning Act and the City’s Parkland By-law. The proposal also provides sufficient private indoor and outdoor amenity areas for future residents. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 23 8.12 Adequate sanitary servicing capacity To demonstrate that sufficient sanitary servicing capacity is available for the entire lands, the applicant submitted a Master Servicing and Stormwater Management Report, dated April 13, 2022, revised on April 10, 2024, January 29, 2025, and October 2025, prepared by Odan Detech Consulting Engineers. These reports have been reviewed by the Region of Durham Works Department. While the Region acknowledges that the submitted studies indicate availability, there may only be available capacity to support Phase 1 of the development. The Region allocates capacity on a first-come, first-served basis at the time a development agreement is executed. To ensure adequate servicing capacity is available, the Region of Durham has requested that an “H” Holding Symbol be placed on the entire site, including Phase 1. Through each phase of development, the Region will require the applicant to demonstrate that sufficient sanitary service capacity is available to support that phase. As part of the Site Plan Approval process for Phase 1, the applicant must submit detailed servicing studies and drawings that demonstrate how the Phase 1 lands will be serviced and confirm that the existing sanitary sewer system has the capacity to support the proposal. The applicant must enter into a Regional Servicing Agreement before the Holding Symbol can be lifted for each phase of development. 8.13 Retail space is proposed at grade, and a Tenant Relocation Strategy is established to retain existing tenants within the development The subject lands currently contain several single-storey, stand-alone, and multi-tenant commercial buildings with a total gross floor area of 23,802 square metres. These buildings accommodate a range of retail, commercial, personal service, and restaurant uses. Current tenants include, but are not limited to, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Dollar Tree, Fabricland, Sabina’s Casual Dining & Pub, Goodlife Fitness, and Blue Sky Supermarket. The proposed development includes residential, retail, and commercial uses, with retail and commercial spaces located at-grade level to support active, pedestrian-friendly frontages. All phases, except Phase 7, will include retail and commercial spaces at-grade level. In total, 5,370 square metres of retail and commercial floor area is proposed across the development, including 1,400 square metres within Phase 1. The applicant has advised that the site will be redeveloped in phases to support the ongoing retail functions and to gradually replace the current commercial building. As part of this approach, the applicant has indicated that existing tenants will be given opportunities, where feasible, to relocate within the site during redevelopment and to return as tenants in the future redevelopment. The applicant has also indicated that the intent is to accommodate a range of retail and commercial uses that will serve both future residents and the surrounding community. Staff will PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 24 continue to work with the applicant through future site plan review processes to identify opportunities to further support retail and commercial uses within the development. 8.14 The Applicant will provide office space within their landholdings The policies contained within the Brock Precinct encourage office uses, particularly major office uses. The subject lands have multiple land-use designations, with the westernmost portion designated as “Mixed Use Type A”. This designation encourages office uses, particularly at major intersections. City staff have held discussions with the applicant to explore opportunities to accommodate office space within the proposed redevelopment. As a result of these discussions, the revised Conceptual Master Plan has been revised to include office space. The proposal now includes an office building at the northwest corner of Pickering Parkway and the new public right-of-way within Phase 6, providing approximately 18,432 square metres of office floor area. This area is in addition to the minimum of 5,370 square metres of retail-commercial space to be provided at grade. The proposed office space will contribute to a more balanced mixed-use community by providing employment opportunities close to where people live, supporting live-work-play opportunities, and potentially reducing commute times for future residents. Staff are satisfied that the proposed minimum office area requirement, as implemented in the zoning by-law, is appropriate for the Mixed-Use Type A designation. The location at a major intersection will help support local services with minimal adverse impacts on the surrounding area while contributing to the City’s long-term economic development objectives through a balanced mix of housing and employment opportunities. 8.15 The Applicant is committed to providing affordable housing units The Pickering Official Plan encourages Council to support a wide range of housing options in terms of form, location, size, and cost throughout the City, so that the housing needs of current and future residents can be met as those needs change. In January 2022, Council approved the Pickering Housing Strategy & Action Plan 2021-2031, which aims to address housing shortages and provide more housing options to accommodate changing demographic conditions. The study identified several key housing gaps within the City, including:  a limited amount of affordable housing, especially for households with low incomes; and,  a shortage of affordable homeownership options, with only the highest income earners able to afford a resale home of any kind in Pickering. City staff worked with the applicant to ensure the City’s goal of offering a diverse range of housing types was met. As a result of these ongoing discussions, the City received an Affordable Housing Commitment Letter from the Owner dated February 13, 2026, which states: PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 25  For the first phase of development, the applicant has committed to providing 10 dwelling units as affordable, as defined by the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024, to be secured at an affordable sale or rental price.  In all future phases, the Owner has committed to 1.75% of all dwelling units being affordable, as defined by the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024. In the context of the proposed development, this would provide 10 affordable housing units in the first phase and, based on the proposed unit counts, up to 78 in the remaining phases, for a total of 88 affordable housing units. Furthermore, the applicant has committed to providing a unit mix consisting of 35% 2-bedroom units and 15% 3-bedroom units, including dens, to accommodate larger families throughout the phases of development, which equates to approximately 1,788 2-bedroom units and 766 3- bedroom units. The proposed development will help increase the availability of affordable housing and ensure sufficient family-sized units, supporting a wider range of housing types in form, size, and cost to meet the needs of current and future residents. 8.16 The proposed residential development has no land use compatibility issues related to noise, dust, and odour with surrounding land uses In support of the residential development, the applicant submitted a Traffic and Land Use Compatibility Study (Noise) for the Proposed Residential Development, prepared by HGC Engineering, dated March 4, 2024. The report examined potential land-use compatibility to ensure compliance with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) D- Series Guidelines, from the existing industrial uses to the east within the Town of Ajax. A detailed assessment of potential noise impacts from surrounding uses was completed. The assessment considered nearby industrial and commercial operations, including Walmart Super Store, Mr. Lube, Strada Aggregates, G.I.P Paving Inc., and Renewable Storage & GFL Waste Facility. The study identified several recommendations to address potential noise impacts:  central air conditioning systems will be required for the proposed residential buildings;  once detailed floor plans and building envelopes are available for each development block, further review will be required to determine appropriate glazing and building façade construction based on the size of the window openings;  appropriate warning clauses should be included in offers of purchase and sale, property agreements, and tenancy agreements to inform future owners and residents about nearby roadways, railways and surrounding activities that may generate noise;  outdoor amenity areas should be located on the north side of buildings, where possible; and,  windows for noise-sensitive spaces should not be provided where applicable Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks noise criteria cannot be satisfied. PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 26 The residential buildings in the proposed development closest to industrial uses will be located significantly farther from these surrounding industrial uses than existing homes along Pickering Parkway, Marshcourt Drive and Ashford Drive. The revised Conceptual Master Plan shows the closest building to be within Phase 7, located approximately 205 metres east of the existing asphalt plant (Strada Aggregates). This separation distance will help reduce potential odour impacts and allow for the dispersion and dilution of any dust, odour, and other air-quality contaminants emitted by industrial facilities. The Region of Durham has reviewed the Land Use Compatibility Study and agrees with the recommendations. The Region has also advised the City to ensure that additional noise studies are completed for each phase of development as more technical details and information become available. The recommended mitigation measures will be further reviewed and confirmed through the detailed review of each phase of development. 8.17 The proposal will not impact the preferred design concept of the Notion Road Overpass In October 2019, the City completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for a new Highway 401 crossing, connecting Notion Road and Squires Beach Road. The purpose of this transportation infrastructure project is to improve road connectivity, increase capacity, provide active transportation facilities, support future growth in the City, and reduce pressure on the existing and planned road network. Through the EA process, a preferred design concept was identified. The preferred design includes a bridge crossing over Highway 401 with a sidewalk and multi-use path. To accommodate this crossing, realignments of Notion Road and Pickering Parkway are proposed adjacent to the subject lands. An “H” Holding Symbol has been applied to the lands. One of the conditions for removing the Holding Symbol requires the Owner to convey approximately 0.17 hectares of land to the City for the construction of the Highway 401 crossing. The land conveyance must occur prior to the subdivision registration or the issuance of Site Plan Approval for Phase 1. 8.18 Technical matters will be addressed through Site Plan Approval Detailed design matters will be handled through the site plan approval process. These requirements will cover issues such as, but not limited to:  Architectural Treatment  Drainage and grading  Site servicing  Bird-friendly design  Parkland  Design of public streets  Requirements for a Construction Management Plan PLN 07-26 April 7, 2026 Page 27  Noise Study  Vibration during demolition and construction  Landscaping  Resident, visitor and accessible parking spaces  Waste management collection  Location of hydro transformers, gas metres and other utilities 9.0 Conclusion: The revised Conceptual Master Plan represents a carefully planned intensification of an underused commercial plaza within the established Urban Area. It aligns with the Provincial Planning Statement, the Durham Regional Official Plan, and conforms with the intent and objectives of the Pickering Official Plan. The plan also supports the City’s Housing Strategy by providing affordable housing, a greater number of larger dwelling units suitable for families, and community amenities that contribute to a complete community, including adequate public park space. To support a more balanced community, a minimum amount of office space is also proposed. Overall, the revised Conceptual Master Plan advances provincial and municipal goals related to housing supply, efficient land use, adequate municipal infrastructure, and employment opportunities. The proposal also supports a more diverse housing mix and aligns with the policy objectives of increasing density in areas approved by Official Plan Amendment 38. The built form has been revised to provide an appropriate transition to nearby residential areas through reduced building heights, tower stepbacks, and the use of a 45-degree angular plane. The submitted Shadow Study demonstrates that the development will have minimal shadow impacts on the public park and surrounding residential properties. In addition, the implementing zoning By-law includes appropriate holding provisions to address servicing requirements, secure land to support the future Notion Road overpass, implement a Master Parkland Agreement, provide environmental easements in favour of CN and require the completion of a Community and Facilities Study to assess the potential need for a future urban school site. For these reasons, staff support the proposed Official Plan Amendment and recommend that the By-law adopt Amendment 56, as outlined in Attachment 1 to this report, be finalized and forwarded to Council for adoption. Staff also support the site-specific Zoning By-law Amendment and recommend that the implementing zoning By-law, as set out in Attachment 2 to this report, be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. 10.0 Applicant’s Comments: The applicant has been advised of, and concurs with, the recommendations of this report.

By-law passed this XXth day of XXXX, 2026. ________________________________ Kevin Ashe, Mayor ________________________________ Susan Cassel, City Clerk Exhibit “A” to By-law XXXX/26 Recommended Amendment 56 to the City of Pickering Official Plan Recommended Amendment 56 to the Pickering Official Plan Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to facilitate the long-term redevelopment of an existing retail-commercial plaza, The Shops at Pickering Ridge, containing multiple single-storey commercial buildings located south of Pickering Parkway, east of Brock Road, and north of Highway 401, into a phased, high- density, mixed-use development. The amendment revises policies that will permit building heights of up to 36 storeys, and provide for a future urban podium school site. Further, the amendment repeals and replaces Schedule XIV, Sheet 4 of 4 revising the future road network, and identifying the location of a proposed controlled intersection, the expanded public park and privately-owned public spaces. Location: The site-specific amendment affects the lands located south of Pickering Parkway, east of Brock Road, and north of Highway 401, described as Part of Lots 17 and 18, Concession 1, Now Parts 1 to 6, 40R-11780, Part 13, 40R-15636, Parts 1 to 3 and 5 to 11, 40R-20443, and Part 3, 40R-31322, in the City of Pickering. Basis: Through the review of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 22-002P and Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 05/22, City Council determined that the proposed amendments will facilitate a high-density, mixed-use development that represents appropriate intensification within the built-up area, makes efficient use of existing and planned infrastructure and services, and supports redevelopment in an area intended for higher densities. The subject lands are located along Brock Road, which is identified as a Type “A” Arterial Road and Transit Spine in the Pickering Official Plan. These corridors are intended to accommodate higher-density, mixed-use development and are supported by a higher level of transit service. This Official Plan Amendment will be implemented through a site-specific zoning by-law amendment that permits a broad range of residential, commercial, and office uses, and introduces zoning provisions, including but not limited to those related to floor space index, building heights, building setbacks and stepbacks, tower floor plate size, active at grade frontages, and parking. The proposed development permits a range of building height from 12 storeys to a maximum of 36 storeys. The built form has been appropriately located to provide appropriate transition and compatibility with existing low to medium- density residential development and planned high-density development to the north. The maximum building heights are concentrated near Highway 401 and Brock Road, with heights stepping down towards existing residential areas to ensure an appropriate scale and transition. This amendment also implements a revised street network that is generally consistent with Official Plan Amendment 38, ensuring appropriate connectivity, a range of mobility options, and the orderly and coordinated development of the subject lands and adjacent lands to the north and east. Overall, the proposed phased, mixed-use, high-density residential development will contribute to a complete community by integrating residential, commercial and institutional uses in a compact, pedestrian-oriented, and transit supportive built form. Its design promotes active transportation, efficient use of municipal infrastructure, and connectivity within the site and to surrounding areas, supporting both walkability and transit use while reinforcing the corridor’s role as a higher-density, mixed use area. Accordingly, the proposed Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and Regional Official Plan and conforms to the intent and objectives of the Pickering Official Plan and Official Plan Amendment 38.
