Subject:
Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 7/06
Canadian Natural Power Inc.
526 Kingston Road
North Part of Lot 30, Range 3 B.F.C.
(Part 1, 40R-9195)
City of Pickering
Recommendation:
1. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 7/06 be approved, to rezone the
subject lands to allow the development of townhouses and detached dwellings,
on lands being the North Part of Lot 30, Range 3 B.F.C., Part 1, 40R-9195;
2. That the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2004-05
(May 12, 2006) by Weldon Lands InG. on behalf of the Estate of A. Tyas, on
lands being Block B Registered Plan 473 and Part Lot 30, Range 3, B.F.C.,
(Part 1, 40R-9195) City of Pickering, to permit the development of a plan of
subdivision, be amended to include the subject property, being the North Part of
Lot 30, Range 3 B.F.C., Part 1, 40R-9'195;
3. Further, that the zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment
Application A 7/06, as set out in Appendix I to Report PD 06-07, be forwarded to
City Council for enactment.
Executive Summary: The applicant requests an amendment to the zoning by-law
to permit the establishment of townhouses and detached dwellings on the subject
lands, to be developed as an expansion of an adjacent Draft Approved Plan of
Subdivision SP-2004-05 (see Location Map, and Applicant's Third Revised Conceptual
Plan, Attachments #1 & #3). The combined developments are proposed to be
developed with a future draft plan of condominium.
The proposal will contribute to the transformation of Kingston Road into a mainstreet for
Pickering, as envisioned in the Pickering Official Plan. The present design is
considered to be generally compatible with the surrounding land uses and reflects the
outcome of consultation between the applicant and the Rosebank Road Community
Association. The applicant's third revised conceptual plan proposes to establish
detached dwellings adjacent to existing detached residential development to the west,
and townhouses abutting the existing Rosebank Plaza at 512 Kingston Road.
It is recommended that this application be approved, and that the draft by-law be
forwarded to City Council for enactment.

Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the
proposed development.
Sustainability Implications: This development proposal is an infill project that
provides for residential intensification, makes efficient use of vacant lands, and takes
advantage of existing infrastructure within the City's urban area. The proposal adds to
the variety of housing opportunities in the City's urban area and assists divert growth
pressures away from non-urban designated lands" The site is located within walking
distance of neighbourhood commercial uses and is located in close proximity to the
Kingston Road Transit Spine. The applicant's proposal generally represents a
sustainable approach for the development of the subject lands.
Background:
1.0 Comments Received
1.1 At the October 19,2006 Public Information Meeting
(see text of Information Report and Meeting Minutes, Attachments #4 & #5)
. Richard Weldon, on behalf of Canadian Natural Power Inc., provided an
explanation of the application, noting that the current proposal was the
second phase of a development previously approved by City Council in 2005
(Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2004-05 and Zoning Amendment A 13/04).
Mr. Weldon explained that the proposal is derived from meetings with and
comments from neighbourhood representatives;
1.2 Following the Information Meeting
. A letter was received from the Ellen Adams, on behalf of the Rosebank Road
Community Association on October 24, 2006 stating their acceptance of the
Second Revised Conceptual Site Plan which was included in the Information
Report prepared by Planning & Development staff (see Attachment #2);
1.3 City Department and Agency Comments
Region of Durham
Planning Department
- the applicant will be required to amend the draft
approved plan or submit a land division
application to permit development;
the proposal may be permitted since the
development is located on lands designated

Plan;
a noise study to identify the impacts of vehicle
noise on the proposed units must be submitted
to the Region of Durham Planning Department;

Region of Durham
Planning Department
( continued)
a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment,
prepared by Soil Engineers Limited, has been
submitted in support of the application and
adjacent draft approved plan of subdivision,
which concludes that there are no specific
environmental hazards at or near the property,
and that no further environmental study or testing
is required;
an agreement between the City of Pickering and
the applicant should indicate that any debris
found on-site must be properly removed
including the decommissioning of any wells,
sewage disposal systems and/or fuel storage
tanks;
Municipal water supply and sanitary sewer
services are available to the subject property and
servicing requirements will be provided through
the future site plan or amendment to draft
approval applications (see Attachment #6).
2.0 Discussion
2.1 The rezoning of subject property to zone category identical to the adjacent
Draft Approved Plan of Subdiviision is considered appropriate for
coordinated development
The applicant requests that the current "R3" Residential zoning for the subject
property be amended to a "RMM-5" Multiple Residential Zone to allow the
establishment of eight townhouse units and two detached units. This zone
category would match the zoning of the adjacent draft approved plan of
subdivision.
This request is considered appropriate as the proposed development would
share the same common elements as the draft approved plan (Phase 1)
including condominium internal roads, visitor parking areas, landscaping
features. Both phases of the development would also share one site access /
egress location from Kingston Road
2.2 The development makes efficient use of vacant lands within the City's
existing urban area
The applicant's proposal will utilize existing infrastructure and provides for the
efficient use of vacant land through the introduction of a compact housing form.
The proposed development is located on lands designated Mixed Use Areas in
the Pickering Official Plan, and is within the Kingston Road Corridor, where
intensification activity is encouraged. The proposal meets the spirit and intent of
the policies of the Official Plan.

2.3 Intensity of development generally supported; overall density for Phase 1
and 2 must comply with the maximum permitted in the Woodlands
Neighbourhood Policies of the Official Plan
Based on the latest revised conceptual plan submitted, by the applicant for the
combined properties, a total of 45 dwelling units are proposed on 0.81 hectares
of land, representing a net residential density of 55.55 dwelling units per hectare.
The overall density proposed for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the development
is slightly beyond the maximum density established in the Woodlands
Neighbourhood policies, and would not be in conformity with the Official Plan.
This maximum density requirement applies to lands located on the north side of
Kingston Road that are designated Mixed Use Area and abut low density
residential development.
The specific unit count for the first and second phase of development will be
determined through the Site Plan approval process, however the total density
cannot exceed 55 dwelling units per hectare to ensure compliance with the
Woodlands Neighbourhood policies of the Official Plan.
It is our understanding that the applicant is in the process of acquiring additional
lands from the abutting property owner to the east (Steeple Hill Community Bible
Church). The effect of the potential acquisition would be to merge and add these
additional lands to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the development for the purpose of
complying with the above-mentioned density policy.
The applicant's current proposal is an evolution of the project based on
consultation with area residents and City staff. The applicant held discussions
with the Rosebank Road Community Association, and revised his original
proposal to include detached dwellings where the property abuts existing
residential properties to the west. In addition, the applicant met with staff and
further revised the proposal to address concerns regarding the siting of three
townhouse dwellings fronting Kingston Road. The Planning & Development
Department is generally satisfied with the orientation of the proposed dwellings,
however, the final layout and total number of dwellings for Phase 1 and Phase 2
of the development shall be determined through the Site Plan approval process.
2.4 Amendment to adjacent Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision is required to
incorporate second phase of development
The subject property was not included in Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2004-05
(the first phase of the proposed development). The applicant will be required to
amend the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision for 542 Kingston Road to reflect
the additional lands that are the subject of this application.

It is recommended that the zone requirements for the proposed development be
regulated by way of schedule and text amendments to the zoning by-law recently
established through Phase 1 of the development, including the requirement that
a minimum rear yard depth of 6.0 metres be provided adjacent to commercial
and residential uses (see Appendix I), and that a total of 14 visitor parking
