Council Resolution No. 56/07 Report Number: PD 04-07
Dated March 5, 2007 Date: February 26, 2007
From:
Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject:
Pickering Official Plan Review

1. That Report PD 04-07 of the Director, Planning & Development, regarding the
review of the Pickering Official Plan be received;
2. That the Preliminary Work Plan for reviewing the Pickering Official Plan, as set
out in Attachment #3 to Report PD 04-07, be endorsed;

Executive Summary: The Pickering Official Plan has been in effect for almost
10 years. A number of new Provincial documents are now approved and the Durham
Regional Official Plan review is mostly complete. It is important to keep the Official
Plan current with recent Council directions on matters such as sustainability. In
addition, as Official Plans are required to conform to both Provincial policies and
upper-tier plans, staff is requesting that Council endorse the preliminary work plan for
reviewing and updating the Pickering Official Plan.
The Official Plan Review will focus on the following key areas:
. strengthening the sustainable framework to support the City's Sustainable
Neighbourhood Plan and Benchmarking for Sustainability;
. implementing various Provincial policy documents including the Greenbelt Plan,
2005 Provincial Policy Statement and the Central Pickering Development Plan;
. incorporating new Official Plan policies resulting from the Region's review of its
Official Plan;
. preparing new policies to guide intensification consistent with the Growth Plan for
the Greater Golden Horseshoe;

. changing the Plan's time horizo from 2016 to 2031; and
· reviewing and updating poli ies and designations to ensure ongoing
effectiveness.
It is staff's intention to pmpare a serie of amendments to the City's Official Plan. For
example, the City can initiiate Official P an Amendments for the Greenbelt Plan and the
new Regional Official Plan as tho e initiatives are now approved. For other
amendments, such as conformity to the Growth Plan, studies are required to be
completed at the local level. It is exp cted that the Review will require approximately
three years to complete.
As the Planning Act requires that a pecial meeting of Council be held to discuss
revisions to the Official Plan, staff is r commending that a spe~cial meeting be held in
spring 2007 to obtain public input.
Financial Implications: A budget pr vision of $40,000 has been recommended for
inclusion in the Planning ~k Oevelopme t 2007 Budget for consulting services related to
this initiative.
Sustainability Implications: A revi w of the Pickering Official Plan at this time
provides the City with an unique oppo unity to enhance the slUstainable framework in
the Plan by the inclusion of polices t direct sustainable devE~lopment in accordance
with the City's Sustainable Neighb urhood Plan Guidelines (pending Council's
consideration) and key principles of arious Provincial, Regional and Conservation
Authority documents. ThH result shoul be a Plan that assists the City in achieving its
sustainable objectives of Cl healthy envi onment, society and economy, and responsible
development and consumption.
1.0 Backaround:
1.1 The Pickering Official Plan w s adopted in March 1'997 and subsequently
approved by Durham Regional Council in September 1997
Pickering's current Official Plan (' he Plan') was adopted by City Council in March
1997 and approved by Ourha Regional Council in September 1997 with
modifications and deferrals. Th Plan's planning horizon is 20 years (up to the
year 2016) and contains detaile policies for guiding and managing growth and
development while protecting the atural and rural environments.
Since the Plan's approval, all 1 appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board have
been dealt with, and only 20 ou of 63 deferrals remain. Most of the deferrals
relate to Seaton and the airport I nds, and are listed in Attachment #1.

Subject: Pickering Official Plan Review
Page 3
c 4rV addition, the Plan has been amended 12 times either in response to
development applications (e.g. Watson's and Heather Glen golf courses) or to
City initiatives (e.g. Northeast Quadrant Review and Liverpool Road South Area
Detailed Review). The City's Oak Ridges Moraine Conformity Official and
Zoning By-law Amendments are currently awaiting Provincial approval.
1.2 A number of initiatives are either completed or underway by the Province,
Region, City and Conservation Authority that will need to be considered
and incorporated into the Plan's review
At this time, a number of new Provincial policy documents such as the Greenbelt
Plan and the Growth Plan for the Golden Horseshoe have come into force. A
new Provincial Policy Statement is also in effect. At the Regional level,
Amendment 114 to the Durham Regional Official Plan, except for the appeals,
has been approved. This Amendment includes revisions to the environmental,
rural, transportation and commercial components of the Regional Official Plan.
The City has a number of initiatives underway including the Sustainable
Neighbourhood Plan and Benchmarking for Sustainability. Other anticipated
initiatives include preparing a long-term sustainable vision for Downtown
Pickering and undertaking a number of studies required under the Province's
Central Pickering Development Plan such as the Master Environmental Servicing
Plan and Neighbourhood Plans.
A Watershed Plan for the Duffins and Carruthers Creeks and 'Generic
Regulations' that regulate natural features and activities (including development
within regulated areas and any interference or alteration to watercourses, wetlands
and shorelines) have recently come into effect. Other Conservation Authority
initiatives are also underway or commencing.
2.0 Discussion:
2.1 The City's Official Plan has provided a solid foundation for managing
development, guiding infrastructure decisions, and protecting the
environment over the last 10 years
Since 1997, the Plan has provided a solid foundation to guide development and
change in the City. The Plan's promotion of Pickering as a complete community
through sustaining healthy ecological, urban, and rural systems remains relevant
especially in light of Council's commitment to sustainability.
While staff is recommending enhancements to the sustainable elements of the
Plan, there is no need at this time to change the fundamental framework,
principles, and goals of the Plan.
In addition to reviewing the Plan to achieve conformity with the new Provincial
and Regional Plans, a general review of the Plan is required to ensure that the
Plan's policies continue to be relevant and appropriate to deal with growth,
development and environmental initiatives.

To this end, staff has identified ~ everal policy areas in the Plan requiring review
such as housing, population an employment targets, planning horizon. There
are also three outstanding C uncil resolutions that need to be addressed
regarding waste transfer/proce sing, archaeological master plan, and the
extension of the WI1itevale Herit ge Conservation District. Further, a number of
housekeeping/technical changes are required. A list of key initiatives requiring
consideration as part of the Plan' review is provided in Attachment #2.
2.2 A three-year timefl'ame for co pleting the Plan's reviE!w is realistic
The Plan's review will involve th assessment of various provincial, regional and
conservation policy documents, reparation of selected background studies and
policy papers, and the preparation of a series of Official Plan amendments on a
variety of topics e.g. natural herita e, intensification, and commercial. It is expected
that the review can be completed ithin the 2007-2009 timeframe as follows:
Year 1 - 2007
Amendments would be preparec implementing the City's sustainable initiatives
such as Benchmar~cing Sustaina i1ity and the Sustainable Neighbourhood Plan.
Also, staff would be implementin, the results of several approved initiatives (e.g.
2005 Provincial Policy Statemen , Bill 51, Greenbelt Plan, Regional Official Plan
Review and Conservation Author ty's 'Generic Regulations'). Other amendments
such as housekeeping matters or updates to the Plan would also be initiated.
Year 2 - 2008
Staff would prepam amendmen's to implement initiatives completed in 2008.
For example, it is Elxpected that amendments implementing studies completed
under the Province's Central Pi kering Development Plan (CPDP) such as the
Natural Heritage System Manag ment Plan and Highway 407 Employment Land
Study would be prepared. Other amendments implementing the results of staff's
general review of the Plan's poli ies and the work related to Council resolutions
would also be prepared for Coune ii's consideration.
Year 3 - 2009
Amendments would be prepare in the third year for the initiatives that are
expected to take longer to con plete due to the need for technical studies,
reports and other required d cumentation. For example, the Downtown
Intensification Strategy not only r quires extensive analysis and consultation but
also is partly dependent on ackground work bein~g done by upper-tier
governments relating to populatic n and employment forecasts. Amendments to
implement the other studies rei uired under the CPDP such as the Master
Environmental Servicing Plan ane Neighbourhood Plan would be prepared.

C 4 In addition, staff is currently participating in several TRCA initiatives. Once each
initiative is completed, appropriate implementation mechanisms will be
determined and amendments to the Plan prepared, if necessary.
A chart listing initiatives, status, anticipated timing of amendments is provided in
Attachment #3.
2.3 Public views and opinions will be solicited during the Plan's Review
As part of the Plan's review, the City will be seeking community input and
engaging stakeholders for their views and opinions during the preparation of the
Official Plan amendments. As a minimum, open houses in addition to statutory
public meetings will be held for the City's amendments.
Public meetings will be posted on the City's website and in the community page
of the local newspaper. Mailing lists of interested individuals, community groups,
agencies and First Nations will be prepared and meeting notices advising of
open houses and public meetings will be mailed. In addition, consultations with
the various public agencies (e.g. region, school boards, conservation authorities)
will be undertaken, as part of the review process.
2.4 Consultants to assist staff on the technical aspects of the studies
(engineering, architectural and urban design) are required
Significant staff resources throughout the Corporation will be involved in the
Plan's review. As well, consulting services will be required to assist staff on the
technical aspects of selected policy reviews and conformity amendments (such
as engineering, architectural and urban design). In this regard, staff, as part of
the Planning & Development draft 2007 Budget submission, has recommended
a proposed budget of $40,000 for consulting services. Additional funding
requests may be included in the 2008 and 2009 Budget proposal.
2.5 The next step is to hold a special meeting of Council, open to the public, to
discuss revisions to the City's Official Plan
In commencing an OP review, the Planning Act requires that a special meeting of
Council be held to obtain input from the public (i.e. residents, businesses, community
associations, landowners, and the development industry) and affected agencies
regarding revisions to the Plan.
Staff is therefore seeking Council's authorization to advertise, in the appropriate
newspapers and on the City's website, that the City is seeking the views of the
public on the Plan. Mailings will also be used to advise agencies of the special
meeting. A special meeting of Council in spring 2007 is recommended.
Subsequently, a report on the submissions received will be prepared for Council's
consideration. Staff will also finalize and request Council's endorsement of the
work plan.
