Discussion

2.1.1
Proposed Uses and Compatibility
Proposed development complies with the Pickerinq Official Plan desiqnation and
policies
The subject property is designated Mixed Use - Mixed Corridor in the Pickering
Official Plan. This designation permits a wide range of uses including residential,
retailing of goods and services generally serving the needs of the surrounding
neighbourhood, community, cultural and recreational uses, and special purpose
commercial uses. These uses should be at a larger scale and intensity in the
mixed corridor designation.
A retail impact study was not required for this application. The City of Pickering
Official Plan states that for development outside of the Downtown Core for new
or expanded gross leasable floor space for the retailing of goods and services, a
retail impact study may be required for development less than 2,500 square
metres. The floor area being proposed is lower than prescribed in the Official
Plan (1975 square metres) and the development proposed will not impact the
Downtown Core, as it will serve the immediate and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Consequently a retail impact study is not required. The proposed amendment
conforms to this designation and polices of the Official Plan.

2.2
2.2.1
The Woodlands Neighbourhood and the Kinqston Road Corridor Development
Guidelines (Whites Road Corridor) are being adhered to
The Woodlands Neighbourhood policies primarily focus on the 'Northeast Quadrant'
lands. The proposed development is located outside of the 'Northeast Quadrant'
lands. The proposed development is affected by the policies of the Kingston Road
Corridor Development Guidelines (Whites Road Corridor).
The corridor guideline objectives encourage the creation of a corridor that
supports a high volume of vehicular traffic but with pedestrian amenity zones in
strategic areas. This corridor guideline encourages a built form that locates
buildings close to the street. The height of buildings along this corridor, on both
sides of Kingston Road, should be a minimum height of two storeys. The
streetscape along Kingston Road should have a pedestrian element and should
be consistent with surrounding developments. The proposed amendment has
been evaluated against these guidelines and has been determined to comply.
Zoning By-law and Site Development
Permitted uses to reflect those currently permitted within the Steeple Hill Plaza to
the west, however a drive-thru facility will not be permitted
The proposed zoning for the development will permit the same uses as the
Steeple Hill Plaza to the west with the exception of a Restaurant type F (drive-
thru). The 'MU-10' zoning category applicable to the Steeple Hill Plaza permits
the following range of uses:
Bakery;
· Business Office;
· Club;
· Commercial Club;
· Commercial- Recreational
Establishment;
· Day Nursery;
· Dry Cleaning Depot;
· Financial Institution;
· Food Store;
· Personal Service Shop;
· Place of Assembly;
· Private School;
· Professional Office;
· Restaurant-type A;
· Restaurant-type F;
· Retail Store;
A Restaurant - type F, which allows a drive-thru component, is not
recommended as a permitted use. Due to the size of the site and the current
operation of two drive-thru restaurants on the Steeple Hill Plaza property to the
west (Burger King & Second Cup) and a Tim Hortons drive-thru to the east, the
introduction of another drive-thru would create additional traffic within and
surrounding the proposed development lands and Steeple Hill Plaza site.
Furthermore, the site size restricts efficient traffic movements for a drive-thru.

3.0
The 'MU-10' zoninq of the Steeple Hill Plaza will be revised to include the
proposed development
Minor changes will be made to the 'MU-10' zone category of the Steeple Hill
Plaza By-Law 5438/99 to allow the proposed development to be combined with
the Steeple Hill Plaza property.
Proposed changes to By-law 5438/99 include:
Revise the easterly setback to 3.0 metres to allow for appropriate buffering
between the proposed development and the Tim Hortons property, while
eliminating the opportunity for a drive aisle at the rear of Building 'B';
Extend the easterly build-to-zone to a length of 100 metres, while
maintaining the 7.5 metre depth and 30% minimum length requirement, to
push Building 'B' as close to Kingston Road as possible;
Increase the maximum combined Gross Leasable Floor Area requirement
to 8,500 square metres to accommodate for the 1975 square metres of
proposed new development;
Parking and other special regulations of the 'MU-10' zone will not be affected by
combining the Steeple Hill Plaza and the proposed development under the same
zone category. With the proposed development and the existing plaza, there
would be a surplus of 14 parking spaces.
Site Plan approval will be required in order to ensure proper site function and
design
The proposed development will be subject to site plan approval from the Director,
Planning & Development. The site plan approval process will evaluate site
function and building design. The buildings proposed for this development
should consider the existing design of the Steeple Hill Plaza buildings.
Furthermore, the landscaping elements of the Steeple Hill Plaza should be
extended to the east along the Kingston Road frontage to maintain a consistent
visual presence onto Kingston Road. No blank walls should be facing Kingston
Road, as the intention of bringing a building closer to the street line is to have the
focus of the building to the street. These components will be evaluated through
the site plan review process.

Further to my comments on June 3, 2005, the following comments regarding
transportation and site access are offered.
The purpose of this application is to permit the development of 2 buildings on the
subject site with a variety of office and commercial uses.
Transportation and Access
Kingston Road is designated as a Type B Arterial Road in the Durham Regional
Official Plan. The subject site currently has three entrances from Kingston Road.
The entrance located at the west limit of the property wil service the site and the
remaining two entrances must be closed. A centre-raised median and a right-
turn taper lane will be required to restrict access to right-in/right-out movements
only.
The Whites Road and Kingston Road intersection is scheduled for reconstruction
~n 2006. Part of the reconstruction includes the installation of a centre-raised
median on Kingston Road from Whites Road to the east limit of the subject
property. The applicant will be responsible for the full cost of extending the
median across the frontage of the property to the existing median located
approximate y 10 metres west of the property.
A detailed engineering drawing is required as part of the site plan application for
review by the Regional Works Department. All costs associated with the required
improvements are the responsibility of the applicant.
