City of Pickering Recommendation: That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/03, be APPROVED AS REVISED, to permit additional industrial and commercial uses, except a truck depot and a waste management and transfer facility, within the three existing buildings at 813 - 821 Brock Road, on lands being Part of Lot 18, Range 3, B.F.C., City of Pickering, submitted by Bryce Jordan of Sernas Associates on behalf of Samuel Wygodny of Presidential Management & Development Corporation. That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/03, as set out in draft in Appendix I to Report PD 09-04, be FORWARDED to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The applicant requests a change to the zoning by-law to permit additional industrial and commercial uses within the three existing buildings at 813- 821 Brock Road. It is recommended that the requested rezoning be approved as revised, to exclude the requested uses of truck depot and waste management and transfer facility as permitted uses. The recommended zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses and conforms to the policies and objectives of the City's Official Plan. Financial Implications: proposed development. No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the 34 Report PD 09-04 Date: January 23, 2004 Subject: Presidential Management & Development Corp. (A 22/03) Page 2 Background: 1.0 Application The subject property is designated as Employment Area - General Employment in the City's Official Plan, and is currently zoned "M2" - Industrial Zone by By-law 2511. This zoning is relatively restrictive and provides for a limited range of uses. Additionally, the current zoning does not implement the City's Official Plan policies for "General Employment" area designations. Consequently, the existing buildings have experienced varying degrees of vacancies over the years, and the owners have reason to expect increased vacancies in the near future. The applicant proposes to amend the zoning on the lands to permit additional industrial and commercial uses within the three existing buildings at 813 - 821 Brock Road (see Attachment #1 - Location Map, and Attachment #2 - Site Plan), thus increasing the marketability of the buildings on-site. The table below outlines uses permitted by existing zoning, and new uses requested by the applicant. bakery or dairy; business offices; creamery; dry cleaning, pressing, laundry establishment; garage; light manufacturing plant; manufacturing plant; open air markets; printing establishment or duplicating shop; professional offices; public parking lots; service or repair shop; transport terminal for the loading and unloading of transport vehicles; and warehouse or distributing depot. * applicant's complete list of requested uses are headings of permitted uses and proposed uses. club; commercial club; commercial-recreational establishment; commercial school; dry cleaning depot; food preparation plant; merchandise service shop; personal service shop; place of amusement or entertainment; place of assembly; place of worship; rental establishment; restaurant; sales outlet; scientific, medical or research laboratory; truck depot; vehicle repair shop; vehicle sales and rental establishment; waste management and transfer facility. a combination of all the uses listed under the * sales outlet (proposed use) - a maximum of 25% of the Gross Leasable Floor Area (GLFA) of a permissible industrial operation, and/or a maximum of 40% of the GFLA of a permissible industrial operation provided that no more than 25% of the GFLA of the building constitutes sales outlets. * proposed non-industrial uses shall not exceed 50% of the GFLA of the building. 2.0 2.1 Comments Received At the November 20, 2003 Information Meeting As no one other than Planning staff and the applicant were present at the Public Information Meeting, no discussion regarding the application took place (see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #3 and #4). Report PD 09-04 Date: January 23, 2004 Subject: Presidential Management & Development Corp. (A 22/03) Page 3 35 2.2 Letter of Objection On the day of the Public Information Meeting, a letter of objection (see Attachment #5) was submitted by T. W. Bermingham of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, on behalf of CREIT Management Limited who are the owners of 925 Brock Road and 1100 Squires Beach Road. Mr. Bermingham disagrees that the proposed uses as set out in the Information Report conform to the applicable Official Plan policies and states that these changes can only be introduced through an Official Plan Amendment. 2.3 Agencies and City Departments Municipal Property & Engineering Division - no concerns; Canadian National Railway - any proposed alterations to the existing drainage pattern affecting Railway property must receive prior concurrence from the Railway and be substantiated by a drainage report and CNR recommends that the Applicant/Owner install and maintain at his own expense, a chain link fence of minimum 1.83 metre height along the northern property boundary (see Attachment #6); Veridian Connections- no objection, however, has comments pertaining to electrical design details for any proposed industrial/commercial development (see Attachment #7); Region of Durham Planning Department- no concerns with proposed rezoning; subject property is connected to full municipal services; information will be required respecting anticipated sewage flow design and type of effluent anticipated; review by Wet Screening Committee may be necessary depending on information provided by applicant; upon submission of a site plan application, the Region may require a road widening along the frontage and/or road improvements to Brock Road; no provincial interests are affected by the proposal (see Attachment #8); Pickering Fire Service - no objection, however, they are reserving the opportunity to view any plans submitted at the time of building permit and review any proposed plans for the implementation of any waste management and transfer facility (see Attachment #9). 36 Report PD 09-04 Date: January 23, 2004 Subject: Presidential Management & Development Corp. (A 22/03) Page 4 3.0 3.1 3.2 Discussion Requested Uses Conform to Employment Designations within the Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan permits a broader range of uses within its Employment Area designations than did the former Pickering District Plan. A table has been prepared by staff entitled "Proposed Uses and Provisions Related to the Pickering Official Plan Employment Policies" (see Attachment #10) to provide a framework for establishing appropriate uses, provisions and restrictions within the implementing zoning by-law for this and future applications. This table has been used previously by the Planning & Development Department and Council as a guide for the evaluation of planning applications over the past few years. This change recognizes the evolving nature of employment activities, which over the past decades have shifted from primarily land-consumptive manufacturing operations, to smaller service-type businesses. The requested additional industrial and commercial uses conform to, and are compatible with, the designation and policies of the Official Plan. Recommended Uses Attachment #10 "Proposed Uses and Provisions Related to the Pickering Official Plan Employment Policies", lists the permissible uses on lands designated General Employment, Prestige Employment and Mixed Employment by the Official Plan. The table also identifies a general list of uses that may be considered for inclusion within zoning by-laws for each Official Plan category, as well as typical performance standards for the uses. The table is an implementation framework for uses, provisions and restrictions for the employment area designations prepared by Planning & Development staff to provide guidelines for reviewing rezoning applications. With respect to the subject property, which is designated General Employment, the staff recommended implementing by-law (see Appendix I to Report PD 09-04), proposes to accommodate existing uses and add new uses, as follows: Report PD 09-04 Date: Subject: Presidential Management & Development Corp. (A 22/03) Januaw 23,2004 Page 5 37 Uses Currently Permitted and to Remain Proposed Additional Uses bakery club* business office commercial club* dry cleaning establishment light manufacturing plant manufacturing plant printing establishment ~rofessional office warehouse commercial-recreational establishment commercial school dry cleaning depot food preparation plant manufacturing plant merchandise service shop personal service shop place of amusement or entertainment )lace of assembly )lace of worship rental establishment restaurant - type A sales outlet scientific, medical or research laboratory vehicle repair shop vehicle sales and rental establishment * the definitions were revised a few years ago to remove the words 'social club' to avoid the establishment of an 'after hours dance club'. The current 'M2' zoning permits certain uses that are either dated, not appropriate within the area, are redundant and/or have been replaced with more current definitions. In this regard, the staff recommended implementing by-law removes permission for the following uses: · creamery · public parking lots · dairy · service or repair shop · garage · transport terminal · open air markets Further, staff recommends that the requested uses of a 'truck depot' and a 'waste management and transfer facility' not be permitted. The subject property does not provide sufficient area for truck movement, associated parking and the requested uses conflict with other land uses. 38 Report PD 09-04 Date: January 23, 2004 Subject: Presidential Management & Development Corp. (A 22/03) Page 6 3.3 3.4 Recommended Provisions and Restrictions The implementation framework also addresses a general approach for certain restrictions that would apply to uses permitted within the General, Prestige and Mixed Employment designations. For General Employment, the restrictions are as follows: · permissible uses intended to serve the surrounding employment area would be restricted by a maximum unit size (restaurants and personal service shops will be restricted to a maximum unit size of 325 square metres, and to a maximum gross leasable floor area for each of these uses of 325 square metres); · within each designation, 'sales outlets' are permitted only if accessory to certain employment area uses (a bakery, a food preparation plant, a light manufacturing or manufacturing plant, a merchandise service shop, a printing establishment, or a warehouse); · the gross leasable floor area (GLFA) of a sales outlet shall not exceed 25% of the GLFA of the associated employment use; however, the GLFA of a sales outlet may increase to 40% of the GLFA of the associated employment use providing the GLFA of all sales outlets in the building does not exceed 25% of the GLFA of the building; · restrictions are placed on the maximum aggregate GLFA for non-traditional employment uses within a building and/or upon a property; the standard restrictions for non-industrial space are a maximum of 50% for General Employment; the maximums may be further restricted due to parking limitations; and · outdoor storage will primarily be restricted to General Employment designations; however, this may be further restricted depending on the character of the existing development and its surroundings. Non-Industrial Uses and Outdoor Storage Staff reviewed on-site parking availability and supply, having regard to the City's Off-Street Parking Study. As a result of this review, it is recommended that the non-industrial uses proposed for the subject property be limited to 50% of the building's floor area. In addition, outdoor storage will not be permitted given the existing parking supply and site design of the subject property. A draft amending by-law for the lands has been prepared. It is attached as Appendix I to this Report. The proposed additional industrial and commercial uses implement the City's Official Plan employment area designation policies, which provides for a greater range of uses on the subject property. Accordingly, staff recommends that Council approve Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 22/03, and that the draft by-law be forwarded to City Council for enactment.

We act for CREIT Managem~t Limited which owns th~ lands municipally known as 925 Brock Road and the lands municipally known as 1100 Equir~s Beach Road. Our client beli~ves that it is of great import~ce to maintain the integrity of the employment area as a g~ncral employm~t designation ~ud the integrity o£the M2 zoning. Th~ viability of sites for indust6al us~ will suff~ as non-residential and comm~rclal usce arc introduced into the area.
