CHANGE: "PRIVATE OPEN SPACE" and "RESIDENTIAL" to "COMMERCIAL-GENERAL" and "RESIDENTIAL". STATEMENT: This is a re-alignment of the "Commercial- General" designation boundaries to coincide with existing and future roads and land uses, as follows: (i) removing the "Private Open Space" designation, being a triangular parcel having a frontage of some 790' on Highway #2 and an area of some 10 acres. This designation reflected the former golf driving range, which was a temporary existing land use, with the "Commercial-General" and "Private Open Space" boundary line approximately the location of a minor watercourse which will be piped in conjunction with the fully serviced shopping plaza proposed for the vacant portion of the "Commercial-General" designation as revised - 3 - Items of Amendment Statement continued ..... (1) by this amendment. The bulk of this "Private Open Space" designation will be re-designated "Commercial-General" except the extreme north- east portion (approximately 0.2 acres) will assume the "Residential" designation of the adjacent vacant lands to the east. This north- east portion will be physically separated from the "Commercial-General" designation by a future north-south collector road. W-) re-designating an internal parcel (approx. 0.4 ac.) designated "Residential" in Lot 21 abutting Lot 22 as "Commercial-General". The boundary between the "Residential" and "Commercial- General" will be the same north-south road mentioned in item (i). The effect of these three changes creates a more regular shaped "Commercial-General" designation which will be bounded on four sides by roads (save and except the extreme south-east portion designated "Commercial-Highway" and representing only 112 acre). The lands designated "Commercial-General" are vacant except for an L.C.B.O. and Brewers Retail outlet situated - 4 - Items of Amendment Statement continued .... (ii) on the most westerly portion thereof which will be incorporated into the development of the remaining 21 acre site. Proposed commercial development on this general site has been discussed in open Council over the past five years with public notification haveing been given by the Planning Board. Municipal consideration has included area land use and servicing plans, as well as discussions with staff of relevant departments and agencies (specifically Department of Highways and Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board). As stated in Official Plan amendment No. 1, development of this property will be subject to the approval of a site plan satisfactory to the Ontario Department of Highways and the Township of Pickering. This area is presently semi-urbanized and the installation of municipal services, initiated and financed by this development, into this Stage II location will make possible the economic servicing of the surrounding lands. - 5 - ITEM 2 TEXT: Part I - LAND USE PROPOSALS, Section B - LAND USE AND COMMUNITY PLAN, subsection (c) - COMMERCIAL- GENERAL, paragraph 1 under policy. PURPOSE: To revise the off-street parking requirements as they relate to the "Commercial-General" designation on the south-east corner of Highway #2 and Liverpool Road. STATEMENT: The parking requirement is excessive particularly for a large shopping plaza. The intention is to follow instead the Urban Land Institute standard of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. gross leasable area, which in this instance will represent some 1250 (initial) to 1375 (future expansion) spaces, which is consistent with other shopping centres of this size. It is the intention eventually to adopt the Urban Land Institute Standard for all commercial designations. CHANGE: Add to the end of paragraph 1 the following: The "Commercial-General" designation on the south-east corner of Highway #2 and Liverpool Road shall be exempted from the above parking requirements, but shall provide a minimum of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. gross leasable ground floor area and 5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. gross leasable floor area for all other levels.
