Discussion
Use and Compatibility
Proposed use conforms to the Pickering Official Plan
The applicant is proposing to add a body rub parlour as a permitted use. The
subject property is designated "Employment Area - General Employment" in the
Pickering Official Plan. This designation permits the proposed use to be
considered. Approval of the rezoning would conform with the Pickering Official
Plan and the Region of Durham Official Plan.
The site is suitable for the proposed use
The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The industrial
condominium building site currently provides a total of 248 parking spaces at
1895 Clements Road. Based on City parking requirements of I space per
56 square metres of gross leasable floor area for industrial uses (1895 Clements
Road - 11,052.08 square metres), 198 parking spaces are required.

2.3.1
Therefore, due to the surplus of 50 parking spaces and offsetting hours of
operation from regular business hours, the ability to share parking is possible.
There is also the opportunity to share parking with 1885 Clements Road.
Furthermore, Durham Condominium Corporation 112-Diamond Swan Ventures
Corp. c/o Fred T. Reisman and Associates Limited, has authorized the submission
of Zoning By-law Amendment - A 20/05, and advises that they do not object to
the rezoning.
The proposed body rub parlour use will have minimal impact
The proposed use is located in an area of the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood
that has no visual presence along the major transportation corridors of
Brock Road, Clements Road or Bayly Street. The unit that this business
occupies is internal to the site and the signage for the business is within the
existing sign band and is similar to the signage of the other units. Rezoning the
property to include a body rub parlour as a permitted use would recognize an
existing non-conforming use and bring it into compliance. The applicant has
advised that the proposed use has operated from 1895 Clements Road for the
past five years and through discussions with Municipal Law Enforcement Services
and Durham Regional Police Services, the City is not aware of any documented
complaints respecting the use.
Zoning By-law Performance Standards
The proposed by-law will limit the gross leasable floor area
It is recommended that the by-law limit the number of body rub parlours at this
site to one and that the gross leasable floor area of the body rub parlour use to a
maximum of 110 square metres. The intent of limiting the number and size is to
ensure that the proposed use does not occupy a significant amount of floor
space within the condominium complex, thus becoming a primary use. A mix of
uses will be maintained.
The existinq by-law will govern all other zoning requirements
No further amendments to the current 'MC-12' zoning are proposed or required.
The current by-law requirements will continue to apply to the property.
Municipal By-law 5764/00 - Body Rub Parlours
The proposed body rub parlour complies with the Municipal By-law & licensinq
requirements
On October 16, 2000, City Council passed Municipal By-law 5764/00, which
provides requirements for the licensing and regulating of body rub parlours within
the City of Pickering. The by-law includes a provision that restricts the location in
which body rub parlours may operate. The restricted area is within the Brock
Industrial Neighbourhood, subject to a zoning by-law amendment application
being approved by the City.

3.0
The subject property is located within the designated area as per Municipal
By-law 5764/00 (see Attachment #11). At the time of passage of Municipal
By-law 5764/00 the City provided existing body rub parlours a "grandfather
status" which permitted the business to obtain a license even though zoning was
not approved. This special status expires December 31, 2005. Consequently
the applicant is requesting rezoning of the subject property to permit the
continuance of the existing business.
Applicant's Comments
The applicant is aware of the contents of this report, has reviewed the draft
zoning by-law, and concurs with the recommendations.

Re. Zoning By-law Amendment Appiication A 20/'05 (Body Rub Parlour)
CITY OF PICKERING
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
Dear Ms. Bentley:
Scripture Union's national offices are at 1885 Clements Road, Units '~' '
,.,;6 and 227.
Sharing our offices are three other organizations: The Shantymen's Christian Association of
Canada, Athletes in Action and The Mustard Seed Mission.
Two of these organizations work with children and youth and employ female staff and volunteers.
It is not unusual for these female staff and volunteers to be on the premises alter business hours.
My concern is that the presence of a "bodv rub parlour" in the immediate area may' attract clients
that ma5' intimidate our female staff and volunteers. They currently come to the premises and
work without any concern for their safety.
I do not believe that it is good public policy to amend the by-law to permit this type of operation
in the vicinity. I urge the CiD' Council to deny the application.
You may be interested to know that in a recent article in the Toronto Star the reporter wrote:
"75% of ~_ 0 citT-licensed holistic centres actually operated as brothels or body-rubs" (Toronto
Star, July 28, 2005, p. A20). The implication is clear: body-rub parlours are associated with
brothels and prostitution and often masquerade as legitimate businesses. I am confident that the
Ci~' of Pickering does not want to encourage this type of activity within its boundaries or be
associated with such practices.
I will attend the meeting on September 15t~' and will be happy to answer any questions related to
our concerns. '~:~_.~e_',

Objections to amendment of existing zoning to allow a
body rub parlor at
Durham Condo Plan 112 ,Level 1 Unit 161 (1895 Clements Road )
To: GeoffRomanowski Planner at the City of Pickering
The following signatures represent the Tennants, local businesses or owners of the above
location that object to the amendment of the zoning at the above location (1895
Clements Rd Plau 112, Level 1 Unit 161 .
The parties of such signatures believe that the change of zoning will have a negative
impact on the real property values in the area. Impact adversely on the commercial
attraction of the area to new businesses considering this location. More importantly the
increase in the level of crime in the area and especially the increase of the City of
Picketing (and ultimately it's tax payers) for the responsibilities of policing and health
monitoring of such site.
This site is not conducive to such zoning due to the lack of parking facilities, increased
security requirements .to protect the other tenants and businesses and negatively affect
the tax base of the area.
Although this site has been zoned for sugh types of industries the associated costs and
negative impact on the area would far outweigh the personal gains of the landlord or the
economic attractiveness of the area to both small and large businesses. Picketing City
Council must recognize that in the event of criminal activity the City incurs the costs to
investigate such crime and is a tax burden and uses up already limited resources of the
Police.
· According to Durham Regional Police these additional burdens to the Police can cost the
taxpayer anywhere in the excess of $30,000 per investigation.

Council must recogmze that in the event of criminal actMty the City incurs the costs to
investigate such crime and is a tax burden and uses up already limited resources of the
Police.
According to Durham Regional Police these additional burdens to the Police can cost the
taxpayer anywhere in the excess of $30,000 per investigation~

r,~,, nf Pickering
CFN
Please note that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in receipt of the above-referenced
zoning amendment application. Staff has had an opportunity to review the submission and offers the
following comments.
Background
The subject property is located at 1895 Clements Road, at the southwest corner of Squires Beach Road and
Clements Road, in the City of Pickering. It is our understanding that the applicant requests a zoning
amendment to permit a body rub parlor as a permitted use.
Site-Specific Comments
The subject property is located outside the Fill Regulated Area, pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158.
Therefore a permit is not required from the TRCA as part of the approval of this application. Furthermore,
the building on the subject property already exists and this application represents a change in use only.
Th. erefore no natural features of concern to the TRCA wilt be impacted through this zoning amendment
application.
Recommendations
In light of the above, the TRCA has no objections to the zoning amendment application, as submitted.
We trust these comments are of assistance. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
Susan RoDer~son, Piannir~g Technician at extensiu~ 5370, o~ the undersigned.
Yours ~ly,
