General Comments 1. Valley Farm Road is designated as a Type C Arterial in the City's Official Plan, and requires a right-of-way width of 26 metres. In this area, Valley Farm Road has a current right-of-way width of 20.0 metres. The City requires a 3.0 metre widening along the east limit of the property to be dedicated to the City as public road allowance. 2. A 5.0 metre corner rounding is required (at the intersection of Valley Farm Road and Fieldlight Boulevard) to be dedicated to the City as part of the application. Please revise drawings accordingly. 3. The proposed Lot (Part 5) is problematic. The proposed driveway cannot intersect the existing curb radius, nor can it pass through the 5.0 metre corner rounding (not yet shown). Please evaluate the feasibility of Lot 5. 4. On the west side of Valley Farm Road there is an existing 1.5 metre wide concrete sidewalk. The applicant is required to remove the existing concrete sidewalk and replace it in the standard location, 0.9 metres off the property line, with a 2% finished grade to curb line, from the intersection with Fieldlight Boulevard to the south limit of the property.

SB:cc March 13, 2012 Page 2 A 14/11, 1954 Valley Farm Road eih, 110 Report to Planning & Development Committee PICKERING Report Number: PD 08-12 4 Date: April 2, 2012 From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 16/11 Fonke Holdings Corporation 1565 Greenmount Street (Block 76, Plan 40M-1512, Part 1, 40R-15611) City of Pickering Recommendation: 1. That Report PD 08-12 of the Director, Planning & Development be received; 2. That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 16/11 submitted by Fonke Holdings Inc. to permit residential uses on lands being Block 76, Plan 40M-1512, Part 1, 40R-15611, City of Pickering be, approved; and 3. Further, that the draft zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A16/11, as set out in Appendix 1. to Report PD 08-12, be finalized and forwarded to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The application proposes to amend the existing commercial zoning on the subject lands to permit detached, semi-detached and/or townhouse dwellings. The property is located at the southeast corner of Valley Farm Road and Greenmount Street (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The individual lots are intended to be created through the land severance process. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Pickering Official Plan. If approved, the applicant will be required to fulfill various conditions of land severance including entering into a development agreement with the City to address various development matters. The staff recommended zoning provides flexibility to enable the development of 3 detached dwellings, 4 semi-detached dwellings, or 4 townhouse dwellings (see Staff Recommended Development Options, Attachment #2). The applicant's request to allow detached dwellings on lots with 7.3 metres frontage is not supported (see Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #3). It is recommended that this application be approved and the draft zoning by-law amendment attached as Appendix I be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed recommendation. Report PD 08-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Fonke Holdings Corporation (A 16/11) Page 2 15 1.0 Background: The subject property has a lot area of approximately 0.145 hectares with frontage on Valley Farm Road and Greenmount Street (see Location Map, Attachment #1). Surrounding uses include detached dwellings to the north and south, townhouse dwellings to the east and open space to the west across Valley Farm Road. The property is currently vacant and was originally part of a larger commercial block intended to be developed for local commercial uses. In 1993, the east portion of the commercial block was rezoned and developed as a townhouse development consisting of two blocks containing a total of 7 townhouse dwelling units. 2.0 Comments Received: 2.1 At the September 6, 2011 Public Information Meeting (see Meeting Minutes, Attachment #4) No members of the public spoke with respect to this application. 2.2 Agency Comments Durham Region Planning noise abatement measures and warning clauses Department as per the applicant's submitted Environmental Noise Impact Study shall be implemented through a development agreement with the City of Pickering • sanitary sewer and water service connections are available • any service connections not utilized shall be disconnected at the applicant's cost • requirements for Regional servicing, financial or otherwise associated with the development will be addressed through a subsequent development application as a condition of severance (see Attachment #5) Development Control the applicant will be required to enter into a Division Development Agreement with the City to address all development matters such as, but not limited to offsite works, service connections, lot grading and drainage, architectural control, and associated financial matters • a Construction Management Plan will be required • no on-site works prior to approval of works is permitted without a permit Report PD 08-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Fonke Holdings Corporation (A 16/11) Page 3 i 16 Development Control • a Geotechnical Report, grading and drainage Division (continued) plan, and draft reference plan will be required • the zoning by-law for this property should restrict the amount of front yard hard surface (see Attachment #6) 3.0 Discussion: 3.1 The proposed development with revisions recommended by Staff, is consistent with both the Official Plan and the character of the street The City's Official Plan designates the subject property as Urban Residential - Low Density Area, which permits a maximum density of 30 units per net hectare. A maximum of 4 lots may be created on the property within this density limit. Staff recommends a zoning that provides flexibility to develop the land for 3 detached dwellings, 4 semi-detached dwellings, or 4 townhouse dwellings, with minimum lot frontages of 9.0 metres, 7.0 metres, and 6.0 metres respectively (see Staff Recommended Development Options, Attachment #2). This form of development is consistent with the character of existing homes on Greenmount Street. Single detached dwellings currently exist on the north side of Greenmount Street on 12.0 metre frontage lots, and townhouses abut the subject property to the east on 6.0 metre frontage lots. The applicant's proposal to develop 4 detached dwellings on lots having 7.3 metre frontage, with side yard widths of 0.47 and 0.91 metres is not consistent or compatible with the surrounding area (see Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #3). Such reduced development standards provide very limited design opportunity and would be out of character with existing development in the immediate area. The recommended draft zoning by-law also includes provisions restricting the size of driveway widths in relation to lot frontage. This provision is intended to limit the amount of hard surface vehicles can occupy on a property (see Appendix I, Draft Zoning By-law). The applicant has reviewed staff's development options and is aware of the recommendation. 3.2 Sustainability Implications Staff's review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Given the small scope of the application pertaining to the conversion of an existing commercial property for residential uses only, there is limited opportunity to achieve Level 1. The proposed development has the potential to be developed at the high end of the permitted density range and will utilize existing services along Greenmount Street. Report PD 08-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Fonke Holdings Corporation (A 16/11) Page 4 17 Further opportunities exist for the applicant to implement additional sustainable options through future building permit and development processes. 3.3 All development matters will be addressed through the Land Division application process Through the land division process the owner will be required to enter into a Development Agreement with the City to address offsite works, lot grading and service connections. The owner will also be required to repeal the existing Site Plan Agreement and amend both the existing Subdivision and Development Agreements to reflect an increase in dwelling units over that initially anticipated for Plan of Subdivision 40M-1512. Additional development matters such as, but not limited to, a construction management plan, noise attenuation, a revised architectural design statement, cost sharing and a geotechnical report.will also be dealt with through the land division application process or through standard City procedures. 3.4 By-law to be forwarded to Council The lands are currently zoned "C4-4 - General Commercial". The draft zoning by-law attached as Appendix I to this report replaces the "C44' zone with'a "S-SD-SA-4" residential zone which permits up to 3 detached dwellings, or 4 semi-detached or townhouse dwellings. It is recommended that the draft by-law be finalized and forwarded to Council. 4.0 Applicant's Comments The applicant is aware of the recommendations of this report.

Further, that Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/11 submitted by Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited, to amend the zoning of the subject property to implement Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-01(R2), as outlined in Appendix II to Report PD 09-12 be endorsed and the by-law be finalized and forward to Council for enactment following the Ontario Municipal Board approval of the revisions to the draft plan of subdivision. Executive Summary: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (Mattamy) has requested a revision to a portion of the draft plan of subdivision in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood which was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The applicant has requested a zoning by-law amendment in order to implement the proposed development. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 2 5 The subject lands were included in the original draft approved plan of subdivision as a single future development block and Mattamy has now requested amendments to the approved plan to permit a commercial block and residential development in various forms of townhouses (street, lane, back-to-back and stacked) for a total of 103 dwelling units. The proposed development is consistent with the Duffin Heights Official Plan policies and will meet the minimum requirements of the Development Guidelines. The resulting development should provide appropriate pedestrian-related uses and massing along .Brock Road and help create a focal point at the Brock Road/William Jackson Drive intersection. Although specific development for the commercial block is not being advanced by Mattamy, the zoning by-law amendment will implement the Development Guideline provisions for this corner property, thereby creating a development ready commercial site that will be more attractive to potential development interests. The recommended amendments to the draft plan of subdivision conditions of approval and the draft zoning by-law will complete the Mattamy draft plan in Duffin Heights. The revised plan will accommodate residential development in the middle of the permitted density range and establish a built form along Brock Road and William Jackson Drive that reflects an appropriate urban edge to the mixed corridor lands. The applications are recommended for approval. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. 1.0 Background: 1.1 Property Description The subject lands are located at the northeast corner of Brock Road and William Jackson .Drive in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood and are approximately 3.13 hectares in area (see Location Map, Attachment #1). These lands are the final phase of the Mattamy draft plan of subdivision which is currently under construction; the lands are identified as Block 239 in the approved Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-01. The lands currently support the Mattamy sales pavilion and are being used as a staging area for the subdivision construction. Surrounding lands include a hydro easement and lands intended for future development to the north, Mount Pleasant Cemetery to the south, a place of religious assembly, residential homes and vacant land intended for future development across Brock Road to the west, and detached dwellings and a village green under construction across William Jackson Drive to the east. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 3 36 1.2 Applicant's Proposal The proposal is to be implemented through revisions to Block 239 of draft approved plan of subdivision SP-2008-01. This draft plan was previously approved by the OMB in January 2010. This block was zoned 'Urban Reserve' in the original approval of the subdivision, as Mattamy was not advancing any specific land use for this block. The remainder of the subdivision has since been registered and the development of the lands for detached and townhouse dwellings is significantly advanced. Mattamy's initial submission which was presented at the December 5, 2011 Public Information meeting was to further subdivide the lands within Block 239 to create the following: • a 0.74 hectare commercial block at the corner of Brock Road and William Jackson Drive • 82 back-to-back townhouse lots on public roads • 15 rear lane townhouse lots fronting William Jackson Drive; and • a 24-unit stacked townhouse block fronting Brock Road (see Applicant's Original Submitted Plan, Attachment #2) However, since the public meeting the applicant has revised the applications as a result of ongoing discussions with staff. This revised plan reconfigured the commercial block to a rectangle shape which increased the size and made it more suitable for future development. The urban design along William Jackson Drive has been improved by replacing the window street with lane townhouses that front William Jackson Drive. The amount of public streets has been reduced by creating a larger condominium block which will include a row of townhouses thereby improving the streetscape of the condominium block. The revised application now includes: a 0.85 hectare commercial block at the corner of Brock Road and William Jackson Drive • 24 back-to-back townhouse lots on public roads • 13 street townhouses • 26 rear lane townhouse lots fronting William Jackson Drive; and • a block for a condominium containing 24-unit stacked townhouse building fronting Brock Road and up to 16 lane townhouses that will front a public street but be serviced from the condominium private road (see Applicant's Revised Submitted Plan, Attachment #3) The OMB is the Approval Authority for the requested revision to the draft approved plan of subdivision as Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-01 was originally approved by the OMB. The City is the approval authority for the zoning amendment application. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 4 37 2.0 Comments Received: 2.1 At the December 5, 2011 Public Information Meeting No members of the public spoke in support or in opposition to the application at the public meeting (see Meeting Minutes, Attachment #5). 2.2 City Department and Agency Comments Region of no objection to the application but note the future Durham Planning commercial block should include additional 'main street', Department mixed-use function with office and residential units atop ground floor commercial-retail uses and the additional mix of uses with increased densities and building heights will help to achieve the sustainable, transit oriented, pedestrian accessible, main street development that is envisioned for the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood • Brock Road is a unique, opportunistic, arterial road linking existing south urban Pickering to the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood and Highway 407 and will also be a key arterial and gateway to the future Seaton Community; the proposed development block provides vast opportunities to develop a distinct, densified, mixed-use main street that is transit oriented and pedestrian accessible • all servicing matters will be addressed in the detail design requirements of the existing conditions of approval (see Attachment #6) Engineering concerns with the intersection of Lane "E" and William Services Division Jackson Drive, this lane should be closed at the intersection or only permit the lane to be one way, northbound • consideration should be made for Lane "D" to be redesigned as a local street (see Attachment #7) Development . a traffic report should be submitted to address concerns Control with the intersection of Lane "E" and William Jackson Drive • the private lane in the condominium block needs to provide snow storage • appropriate noise and privacy fencing will be required (see Attachment #8) 2.3 Other Agencies No other agency (being technical agencies) that provided comments on the applications expressed any concern with the proposed land use. Detailed design matters can be addressed in the fulfillment of the conditions of approval if these applications are approved. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 5 3S 3.0 Discussion: 3.1 The proposed uses and built form comply with the Official Plan The subject lands are designated "Mixed-Use Areas - Mixed Corridors." in the Official Plan within the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. The "Mixed Corridor" designation is intended primarily for residential, retail, community, cultural and recreational uses at a scale serving the community. The designation provides for residential development at a density of over 30 units up to and including 140 units per net hectare, and a maximum floor space index (FSI) (total gross floor area divided by lot area) of 2.5. The residential component of proposal provides a density of 74 units per net hectare. As no specific development proposals are being advanced for the commercial block as Mattamy will not be developing the block themselves, the FSI has not been calculated. Mattamy has provided a concept plan for how the commercial block could be developed (see Attachment #4). The Duffin Heights Neighbourhood policies for the Mixed Corridor designation require new developments to provide a strong and identifiable urban image by establishing buildings closer to the street, providing safe and convenient pedestrian access and requiring all buildings to be multi- storey. This location is identified as a focal point in the Neighbourhood Plan, which requires a minimum of three functional storeys with a four storey massing for the commercial block. The recommended zoning for the commercial block will implement the design requirements in terms of building location and height, by locating buildings close to the intersection and requiring a minimum four storey mass and three functional floors. For the Brock Road frontage, the proposed stacked townhouses will also be located close to the front lot line and provide the minimum required building height and massing. These buildings, plus the lane townhouses along William Jackson Drive will provide the required strong urban edge to the mixed corridor block. The proposed revised draft plan introduces additional housing forms to those provided on the adjacent Mattamy lands to the east. This results in a broader mix of housing form in terms of size and affordability and serves to implement the related policy objectives of the Official Plan and the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. 3.2 The proposed development is consistent with the Development Guidelines for the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood The Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Development Guidelines (DHNDG) envision higher density, higher multi-storey and mixed-use buildings with a high level of architectural quality along this portion of the Brock Road Corridor. The Brock Road/William Jackson Drive intersection is identified as a focal point requiring the creation of prominent images through the use of appropriate building heights, massing, architectural features and landscaping. At corner locations such as this one, buildings shall have a minimum four storey massing and should contain the street by having their front walls parallel and close to the street. A minimum of 60 percent of the length of the Brock Road frontage should be occupied by a building. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 6 39 The proposed zoning provisions attached as Appendix II include building envelopes, build-to provisions and minimum height provisions equivalent to a four storey massing consistent with the Guidelines. The siting of future buildings in the commercial block should provide a strong focal feature at this important intersection, and provide a strong pedestrian-oriented urban edge along Brock Road and William Jackson Drive. Future buildings should occupy the majority of frontage along Brock Road. A high level of architectural design will be required through site plan approval. 3.3 The full potential for development within the Mixed Use Corridor is not being realized The vision for the Mixed Use Corridor through the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood was for a built form and density that is significantly more intense/higher than that proposed by Mattamy in the interior of the block. The demonstration plans in the Guidelines reflect non-grade related housing forms (apartment/office) deeper into the corridor on private driveways and aisles. While the Mattamy proposal does establish an attractive four storey stacked townhouse form immediately adjacent to Brock Road, the interior of the block introduces municipal public roads and grade related townhouse units, at a significantly lower density than the allowable maximum. This form of development, while strictly complying to policy requirements, creates freehold ownership tenure which does not support intensification over time. Mattamy advises that the market does not currently exist to support the more intense development designs that are permissible under the current policy regime. However, development of these lands out to Brock Road will complete the Mattamy project at this strategic location, and may act as a catalyst for further development interest along the mixed use corridor. Staff will continue to monitor development in the mixed use corridor to determine whether the objectives of established policies and guidelines are being achieved. 3.4 Advancing the development of the commercial block is important to the neighbourhood While it is recognized that Mattamy is not advancing any specific development proposal for the commercial block it is important that the site become development ready in terms of zoning and servicing. Mattamy has prepared concept plans that demonstrate that current retail needs for multiple users can be accommodated within the commercial block in a manner that reflects the intent of the Official Plan and DHNDG (see Attachment #4). By creating a pre-zoned serviced commercial block Mattamy will improve its ability to attract development interest in the lands that will hopefully result in the development of the commercial block sooner rather than later. Increased residential development activity in the broader Duffin Heights.Neighbourhood should also provide more attractive market conditions. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 7 40 Actual development of the commercial block may serve to advance other development proposals for lands within the mixed corridor. The introduction of a commercial development in the mixed corridor lands will also help achieve the goal of a diversified, transit oriented, and pedestrian friendly neighbourhood. 3.5 Subdivision Parking will be sufficient With development of denser forms of grade related housing (townhouses and back-to-back townhouses) the issue of sufficient parking, both on private property and on-street parking, needs to be sufficiently incorporated in the subdivision design. In terms of private `off-street' parking, the proposed zoning for the subdivision will require two parking spaces per dwelling unit including a parking space in the garage of sufficient unobstructed space that will accommodate a vehicle. On-street parking opportunities will also be provided in the area of laneway townhouses and adjacent to the commercial block. The condominium block will also provide its own visitor parking. With this revision to the draft plan the local roads have either a 17.0 metre right-of-way width or a 15.5 metre right-of-way width. The 17.0 metre road has a sidewalk on both sides of the street. The 15.5 metre road has a sidewalk on one side. All lots will accommodate one parking space on the private property between the garage door and the front lot line. There will be adequate curb space available for parking through the pairing of driveways and the proposed zoning requirement of front yard open space that will limit the size of the driveways. The proposed zoning includes a standard that a minimum of 50 percent of the front yard be maintained as landscaped open space. Therefore, any driveway on any lot can be no bigger than 50 percent of the front yard. This will ensure an appropriate parking space between driveway curb cuts. 3.6 Site details for the commercial block to be addressed through site plan approval Mattamy has provided a concept plan for the commercial block (see Attachment #4). The purpose of the concept plan was to demonstrate the block is of appropriate size and configuration to accommodate development that would meet the minimum requirements as outlined in the neighbourhood polices and the DHNDG. The concept plan is generally consistent with the Duffin Heights Development Guidelines. All site development matters concerning the City will be more thoroughly addressed through the site plan approval process, which will review items such as, but not limited to, building massing, elevations, fagade treatments, lighting, accessibility, on-site parking, site access, landscape buffers, and landscaping and the ability for intensification over time. The goal is to provide opportunities for a mix of uses with increased densities and building heights in order to help to achieve a sustainable, transit oriented, pedestrian accessible, main street development that is envisioned for the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 8 41 3.7 Signalization of Brock RoadfWilliam Jackson Drive intersection should occur prior to development of the commercial block It is expected that Brock Road and William Jackson Drive will accommodate the traffic volumes generated from the development. A traffic impact study will be required as part of the subdivision/site plan approval to confirm on-site circulation and to identify any traffic issues such as Lane "E" intersection with William Jackson Drive and the appropriateness of the traffic island in the northern portion of the plan. Although signalization of the Brock Road/ William Jackson Drive intersection by the Region of Durham is anticipated later in 2012, staff recommend that an "(H)" Holding provision be included in the zoning by-law for the commercial block to ensure signals are in place prior to a building permit being issued. 3.8 Sustainability Implications have been reviewed The applicant has submitted a Sustainability Report that is based on the City's Sustainability Guidelines. City staff have reviewed the report and rated the revision to the draft plan as achieving a Level 1 score. The proposed development incorporates many of the elements of the Guidelines. It is noted that there are optional opportunities available in the guidelines that the applicant is encouraged to consider that would allow them to achieve a higher level rating for the development. In addition, there will be an opportunity to improve this rating as additional sustainability measures become available through site plan review and detailed building design. 3.9 Proposed Subdivision Conditions of Approval The revised draft approved plan of subdivision is recommended for approval. 4 The revisions represent appropriate development that conforms to the Official Plan and the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Detail design matters will be addressed in the existing requirements of conditions of approval and will be reviewed during the further processing of the application to ensure compliance with the Duffin Heights Environmental Servicing Plan, City policies and agency requirements. The existing cost sharing agreement between the major land owners will address certain financial responsibilities, and confirmation from the trustee that all financial contributions have been addressed will be required prior to registration. The recommended amendments to the draft plan of subdivision conditions of approval are outlined in Appendix I to this report. Report PD 09-12 April 2, 2012 Subject: Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited (A 15/11) Page 9 42 3.10 A site-specific amendment to Zoning By-law 3037 should be enacted Staff supports the rezoning application and recommends that the a site-specific implementing by-law that contains the standards attached as Appendix II to Report PD 09-12 be brought before Councils for enactment following the Ontario Municipal Board's approval of the revisions to the draft plan of subdivision. The proposed zoning provisions for the residential portion of the application will address building location performance standards to ensure an appropriate design for the neighbourhood. The recommendations also contain zoning standards to ensure that all dwellings have a minimum of two functional parking spaces per unit on the private property and that the internal garage space is functional. Standards related to minimum front yard landscaping are included to ensure a minimum amount of any front yard remains landscaped and will also control the maximum size of a driveway indirectly providing on-street parking opportunities. The recommendation is that all grade related residential units maintain 50 percent of the front yard as landscaped open space. The proposed by-law standards for the commercial block will include: • a mix of commercial uses, including office, retail, personal service and restaurant • resident dwelling units are permitted above the second floor • a minimum building height of three functional storeys and four-storey massing, and a maximum height of six storeys • building envelope and build-to zone provisions directing building siting in close proximity to the intersection of Brock Road and William Jackson Drive • the prohibition of drive-through facilities; and • parking requirements of 4.0 spaces per 100 square metres of all permitted uses, with a higher rate for restaurant that exceed total floor space of 500 square metres An "(H)" Holding symbol is proposed for the commercial block in order to ensure the following requirements are addressed: • installation of signalization of the Brock Road/ William Jackson Drive intersection to the satisfaction of the City and the Region; and • a development/site plan agreement requiring, among other things, payment of any required shared costs identified in the Duffin Heights Landowners Group Cost Sharing Agreement 4.0 Applicant's Comments: The applicant is aware of the recommendations of the report.

BOx'623 Approved Plan of Subdivision Application S-P-2008-01 WHITBY, ON L1N 6A3 - Mattamy (Brock Road) Limited - Mixed-Use Block (905) 668-7711 Fax: (905) 666-6208 E-mail: planning@ Following our comments, dated December 12, 2011, regarding the region. aurham.on.ca above-noted application to develop a mixed-use block in the Mattamy www.region.durham.on.ca draft plan (S-P-2008-01) in the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood, we have A.L. Georgieff, MCIP, RPP received a revised mixed-use block plan. Our previous comments with Commissioner of Planning respect to the Regional Official Plan and mixed-use development remain applicable and are restated below. Regional Works has indicated that they have no objection to the proposal subject to the previous conditions of draft approval. Also included below are our comments following review of a noise report that was submitted with the revised mixed-use block plan. As we understand it, the proposal would permit residential and commercial development on a mixed corridor block (Block 200) in the draft approved plan, adjacent to Brock Road. The proposed development block now consists of 79 townhouse units, a 24 unit six-plex apartment condominium building and a future commercial block: Regional Official Plan The Regional Official Plan designates the proposed development block "Regional Corridor" within a "Living Area". A "Regional Corridor" along a major "Type A" Arterial Road and Transit Spine, such as Brock Road, is one of the greatest assemblages of land use designations that would permit high density and mixed-use development. Brock Road is a unique, opportunistic, arterial road linking existing south urban Pickering to the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood and Highway 407. Brock Road will also be a key arterial and gateway to the future Seaton Community. The proposed development block provides vast opportunities to develop a distinct, densified, mixed-use main street that is transit oriented and pedestrian accessible. "Service. Excepence for. our Communifies" ATTACHMENT # TO u REPORT # PD~420:/a We acknowledge and commend the developer for a proposed plan which attempts to provide a mix of residential and commercial uses, in proximity to transit routes, with density and street frontage. However, given the opportunistic and 'greenfield' nature of the subject block, the developer is further encouraged to consider increased residential densities and building heights as well as rental tenure apartments to develop a truly mixed-use corridor block. Further, the future commercial block should include additional `main street', mixed-use function with office and residential units atop ground floor commercial-retail uses. We note that a preliminary commercial concept plan (figure 3 in the Planning National Report) illustrates rear surface parking for the future commercial block. A more efficient use of land that would allow a larger building footprint and create a distinctive street corner and gateway to the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood would be to include structured below grade or multi-level parking in-place of surface parking, or in conjunction with minimal surface parking. Consideration should be given to surrounding residential unit layouts and street/laneway orientation in order to support structured parking access. In short, an additional mix of uses with increased densities and building heights will help to achieve the sustainable, transit oriented, pedestrian accessible, main street development that is envisioned for the Duffin Heights Neighbourhood. Regional Services Regional Works has reviewed the proposed amendment and indicates that they have no objection to the proposed development. Noise Report An Environmental Noise Assessment report, prepared by YCA Engineering Limited, dated February 2012, was submitted with the revised mixed-use block plan. The report provides calculations and recommendations that would meet the requirements of the Region of Durham and the Guidelines of the Ministry of Environment. An agreement between the City of Pickering and the applicant should include the necessary provisions to implement the noise attenuation measures recommended in the report including; a 1.8 metre noise fence along certain residential blocks with townhouse units adjacent to the hydro corridor, a central air conditioning requirement for units in the six-plex condominium apartment building, and warning clauses registered on title and included in Agreements of Purchase and Sale for various units. ATTACHMENT # 6 TO REPORT # PD,? 67 Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed mixed-use development. Our previous conditions of draft approval remain applicable and should be revised to include the updated Noise Assessment. Please contact me should you have any questions regarding the above.

Lane E configuration in question. The proximity of the intersection to the corner of William Jackson presents an unnecessary zone of conflict.. Please revise considering two options: a) close it off completely, providing necessary turning movements for the last unit and providing access for fire and waste disposal b) keep laneway open with a signed one-way direction to the north only 2. The proposed Lane D (10m) should. be changed to a street designation (15.5m). ATTACHMENT #-L_-TO REPORT # PD 09-12 Stormwater Management Comments 69 1.

We have a concern with the location of the proposed Lane E access onto William Jackson Drive. A Traffic Report will need to address this concern. 2. The lane for the proposed Block 14, Condominium Block will be a private laneway therefore, the engineering plans will be required to identify areas for snow storage on site or the condominium agreement/site plan agreement is to require "snow removal" as part of the agreement. 3. The Environmental Noise Assessment identifies the need for a noise attenuation fence along the rear of Block 2 & Block 3. For conformity, we request the fence be extended across the rear of Block 1. 4. This development must comply with the Duffin Heights MESP and Cost Sharing Agreement. 5. Notes #1 and #5 from our previous comments are still valid.
