The subject lands are approximately 134 hectares in size (see Location Map, Attachment#1) • surrounding land uses are: north - a mix of single, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings south - single detached dwellings (south of Bayly Street) east - Diana Princess of Wales Park and the hydro corridor west - Pine Creek 1 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 2 3. Background • on July 8, 2013, Council endorsed in principle the "Downtown Pickering -A Vision for Intensification and Framework for Investment" Report dated June 2013, prepared by Urban Strategies Inc. in association with HDR/iTrans and Halsall Associates, and authorized staff to initiate an Official Plan Amendment and finalize the Urban Design Guidelines to implement the vision and redevelopment framework • Council, at the same meeting, also approved retaining Urban Strategies to prepare a new Downtown Zoning By-law and to assist staff with finalizing the Urban Design Guidelines 4. What is the City proposing? • the City is proposing to add new policies and change existing policies to the Pickering Official Plan to create a planning framework for the redevelopment and intensification of the City Centre (formerly called the Downtown) and to identify required infrastructure improvements and transportation connections within and from the City Centre in support of anticipated population and employment growth to 2031 and beyond • the proposed policy changes are identified in Appendix I: Proposed Amendment 26 to the Pickering Official Plan • related changes to the informational text are identified in Appendix Il: Proposed Informational Revision 21 to the Pickering Official Plan 5. Policy Framework 5.1 The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe • the Province of Ontario's Places to Grow Plan (Growth Plan) identifies the City Centre of Pickering as an "Urban Growth Centre". The Urban Growth Centre boundaries extend the City Centre south of Highway 401, encompassing the GO Train station and industrial/commercial lands to the east of the GO station. The boundaries of the newly proposed City Centre, as shown on the Location Map (see Attachment#1), is consistent with the Urban Growth Centre boundaries • the Growth Plan stipulates that Urban Growth Centres will be planned — o as focal areas for investment in institutional and region-wide public services, as well as commercial, recreational, cultural and entertainment uses o to accommodate and support major transit infrastructure o to serve as high density major employment centres that will attract provincially, nationally or internationally significant employment uses; and o to accommodate a significant share of population and employment growth 2 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 3 • the Growth Plan sets a minimum intensification target for the Urban Growth Centre of 200 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare, which could translate into an additional 8,300 residents and 8,700 jobs by 2031 • Metrolinx's Regional Transportation Plan for the Greater Toronto Area (The Big Move) also identifies Pickering's City Centre as an Anchor Mobility Hub. Anchor Hubs are to be planned to have integrated express rail, regional rail, rapid transit and local bus service • the Growth Plan stipulates that the conversion of Employment lands within downtown areas to non-employment uses requires a municipal comprehensive review in terms of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The designated "Prestige Employment" lands east of Sandy Beach Road, south of Highway 401 will be subject to such a review • the proposed Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the policies of the Growth Plan and The Big Move 5.2 Durham Regional Official Plan • the Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP), inclusive of the Region's Growth Plan conformity amendment (ROPA 128) approved by the Ontario Municipal Board on January 9, 2013, stipulates that the City Centre and Oshawa downtown shall function as the dominant centres within the Region • the ROP furthermore states that Urban Growth Centres: o shall be planned as focal areas for institutional, region-wide public services, major office, commercial, recreational, cultural, entertainment and residential uses, serving as major employment centres supporting higher order transit services o shall be planned to accommodate a minimum density target of 200 persons and jobs combined per gross hectare and a floor space index of 3.0; the built form for the Urban Growth Centres should be a mix of predominantly high-rise development, with some midrise, as determined by area municipalities • the lands within the City Centre that front onto Kingston Road and parts of Bayly Street are designated as Regional Corridor and are intended to be developed as mixed use areas, which include residential, commercial and service areas with higher densities supporting higher order transit services and featuring a high degree of pedestrian oriented design • the ROP also contains a policy to the affect that the conversion of designated Employment lands in the City Centre shall be considered through a comprehensive review pursuant to the provisions of the PPS • the proposal appears to comply with the policies and provisions of the Durham Regional Official Plan 5.3 Pickering Official Plan • Schedule I: Land Use Structure to the Pickering Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Mixed Use Areas", "Open Space System — Natural Areas", and "Prestige Employment": 3 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 4 o the "Mixed Use Areas" designation is further subcategorized into "Downtown Core"(north of Highway 401) and "Mixed Corridors" (south of Highway 401) o the "Open Space System — Natural Areas" designation is limited to the lands at the north-west corner of Highway 401 and Liverpool Road o the "Prestige Employment" designation is located south of Highway 401, between.Sandy Beach Road and the hydro corridor • Schedule II: Transportation Systems to the Pickering Official Plan designates the roads in the subject area as follows: o "Type A Arterial Roads" and `Transit Spine" - Bayly Street o "Type B Arterial Roads" and "Transit Spine" - Kingston Road o "Type B Arterial Roads" - Liverpool Road o "Type C Arterial Roads"— Pickering Parkway, Glenanna and Valley Farm Roads o "Collector Roads"— Esplanade North and Esplanade South o "Local Roads"—the remaining public roads i.e. Sandy Beach Road and Diefenbaker Court • Schedule III: Resource Management to the Pickering Official Plan designates Krosno Creek south of Highway 401, as "Shorelines and Stream Corridors" • as the current land use designations, transportation systems network and certain associated policies are not consistent with the Council endorsed City Centre vision, staff is proposing certain amendments to the Official Plan, schedules, informational text and mapping, as discussed in Section 7 of this report 5.4 New City Centre Urban Design Guidelines will replace the existing development guidelines • there are new City Centre Urban Design Guidelines being prepared that will be added to the Compendium Document to the Pickering Official Plan; the Pickering Downtown Core Development Guidelines will be removed • other technical changes will be required in the Compendium document to reflect the revised neighbourhood boundaries • staff will bring the new City Centre Urban Design Guidelines to Council with the recommendation report on the Amendment 5.5 Zoning By-law 3036 • there is a new City Centre Zoning By-law being prepared to implement this proposed Official Plan Amendment • the draft City Centre Zoning By-law will be presented at public workshops later this year 4 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 5 6. What notice was given? • in addition to the standard departments and agencies, written notice of both the Statutory Open House and the Statutory Public Meeting was provided to all those individuals and organizations that asked to be notified of matters - related to the Pickering Official Plan Review • the notice was also posted on the City's website and an advertisement appeared in the local newspaper. To date, no comments have been received • staff also did an unofficial circulation of the draft Official Plan Amendment to external agencies and key stakeholders, and also had meetings with major land owners to obtain their input prior to initiating the statutory notification process 7. Planning & Design Comments 7.1 the "Downtown Pickering —A Vision for Intensification and Framework for Investment" Report endorsed by Council in July 2013 principally forms the planning basis for the proposed Official Plan Amendment and associated informational revision 7.2 the new policies, if properly implemented, should assist the City, the community and city builders to realize the Community Vision for the City Centre - to make it a vibrant, sustainable, accessible and distinct City Centre for all people and all seasons — a place to inspire, gather, work, live, all in a compact and walkable environment 7.3 the proposed official plan amendment is provided as Appendix I to this Report; the key components of the proposed Official Plan Amendment are summarized below: • Schedules: o amending Schedule I: Land Use Structure to reflect the adjusted City Centre boundaries, which is consistent with the boundaries of the designated Urban Growth Centre and associated provisions established by the Province (see part 1 of the amendment) o' amending Schedule II: Transportation System to: • reflect a finer grain network of streets in support of a more walkable and intensified City Centre • accommodate balanced movement of traffic (vehicular, pedestrian and public transit) through the City Centre (see part 2 of the amendment) 5 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 6 • Policies: o amending the proposed City Centre population and employment targets to reflect the anticipated growth within the City Centre to 2031; a key assumption set for the population and employment growth targets to 2031 is a resident to job ratio of 1:1, which is similar to the existing ratio in the City Centre and complementary to attaining a `complete' community in the City Centre over time (see parts 3.2 &3.3) o amending the permissible uses within the City Centre, listed in Table 5, to exclude new uses that are incompatible with the new City Centre vision (for example low density residential and automotive uses, and replacing it with a broader but simpler list of P 9 P core uses that summarizes/captures the essence of a City Centre) (see part 3.8). The new City Centre zoning by-law will provide a detailed list of permissible uses consistent with the broad land use categories listed in the Official Plan o amending the minimum and maximum residential densities and floor space index in the City Centre, contained in Table 6, to reflect the endorsed vision for a more compact, intensified City Centre (see part 3.9) o introducing a new policy that recognizes the City Centre's significance as a major employment node, which stems from the Growth Plan's identification of Urban Growth Centres as focal areas for employment and from the existing characteristics of the City Centre, i.e. next to Highway 401, being an Anchor Mobility • Hub, having a strong retail and service sector and civic presence, which makes it an attractive destination for employment growth (see part 3.14) o introducing a new policy that speaks to the consideration of an incentive program to encourage green building design, which stems from the City's corporate strategy and commitment to sustainable placemaking (see part 3.15) o introducing new policies that promote the establishment of an arts centre in a prominent location, and "new" senior centre in the City Centre to articulate the vision expressed by Council to promote the City Centre as the cultural, civic and community hub of the City (see part 3.16) o introducing new neighbourhood-specific policies for the City Centre Neighbourhood to articulate the recommendations in the City Centre Vision document into policies to form the key building blocks for the redevelopment of the City Centre with policy direction on matters such as Placemaking, Sustainability, Public Realm, Active Street Frontages, Building Heights,.Street Network and Design, Transit, Pedestrian and Cycling Network, Parking, Stormwater Management, and Growth management (see part 3.17) o the remaining policy revisions are housing-keeping amendments that are consistent with the key components of the amendment 6 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 7 7.4 the proposed informational revision is provided as Appendix II to this Report; it adds new sections or changes existing sections of the informational text. The informational changes give the reader a better understanding of the policy context, and can be summarized as follows: ■ changing informational paragraphs that describe the City Centre, Bay Ridges and Liverpool Neighbourhoods as a result of the adjusted City Centre boundaries • adding sidebars for the new City Centre Neighbourhood policies • adding informational text boxes that elaborates on the terminology `Active Frontages At Grade' and `Large Format Retail Stores' • adding an informational text box that describes the main characteristics and vision for each of the six precincts in the City Centre • adding an informational text box identifying stormwater management criteria for the City Centre • changing an informational text box to reflect the updated population projection for the City Centre 7.5 the City Development Department will submit a recommendation on the application after it has received and assessed comments from the circulated department, agencies and public 8. Procedural Information • 8.1 General • written comments regarding this proposal should be directed to the City Development Department • oral comments may be made at the Public Information Meeting • all comments received will be noted and used as input to a Planning Report prepared by the City Development Department for a subsequent meeting of the Planning & Development Committee of Council • any member of the public who wishes to reserve the option to appeal Council's decision must provide comments to the City before Council adopts any by-law for this proposal • any member of the public who wishes to be notified of Council's decision regarding this proposal must request such in writing to the City Clerk 8.2 Official Plan Amendment Approval Authority • the Region of Durham may exempt certain local official plan amendments from Regional approval if such applications are determined to be locally significant and do not exhibit matters of Regional and/or Provincial interest • at this time the Region has not yet determined whether this official plan amendment application is exempt from Regional approval 7 Information Report No. 03-14 Page 8 Appendices Appendix I Proposed Amendment 26 to the Pickering Official Plan Appendix II Proposed Informational Revision 21 to the Official Plan Attachment • 1.

These new policies will also complement and augment the corporate vision of"Sustainable Place-making'by promoting land uses and built form that are transit oriented, environmentally friendly and supportive of mixed use development and walkability. Location: This amendment applies to all lands bounded by Pine Creek to the west, Diana Princess of Wales Park and the hydro corridor to the east, Bayly Street to the south and the rear lot lines of all parcels fronting the north side of Kingston Road (inclusive of 1848, 1852 & 1854 Liverpool Road and 1298 Kingston Road), as well as lands for two new road connections extending beyond the City Centre providing connections to Brock Road to the east, and Kingston Road at Walnut Lane to the West. The subject lands are approximately 134 hectares in extent and within the City of Pickering. Basis: The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe has designated Pickering's City Centre as an Urban Growth Centre and stipulates that it will be planned to achieve, by 2031 or earlier, a minimum gross density of 200 residents and jobs combined per hectare. The City Centre has also been designated as an Anchor Mobility Hub in Metrolines Big Move with the Pickering GO Station being a major transit station and its surroundings having development potential for compact employment and higher density residential uses. The approval of Regional Official Plan Amendment No.128 provided the policy foundation for the City to retain consultants to prepare its planning and urban design study for the redevelopment and intensification of the City Centre. Following an extensive consultation program involving stakeholders and the public, a report entitled`Downtown Pickering, A Vision for Intensification and Framework for Investment'was endorsed in principle by City Council on July 8, 2013. Staff was authorized to implement the vision and framework by initiating this Official Plan Amendment. 10 Proposed Amendment 26 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 3 Actual The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: Amendment: (New text shown as underlined text, deleted text shown as strikeout text, retained text shown as unchanged text) 1.0 Amending Schedule I- Land Use Structure for the lands subject to the amendment by: • Replacing the "Downtown Core" designation with a new "City Centre" designation; • Replacing the "Mixed Corridors" designation with new "City Centre" and "Natural Areas" designations for the lands located east of Liverpool Road and west of the hydro'corridor, north of Bayly Street; • Replacing the"Mixed Corridors"designation with a "Natural Areas" designation in recognition of the Krosno Creek corridor located west of Sandy Beach Road, north of Bayly Street; • Replacing the "Prestige Employment" designation with a new "City Centre" designation for the lands Located east of Sandy Beach Road and west of the Hydro corridor, north of Bayly Street, and adding an asterisk on the schedule; • Replacing the"Natural Areas" designation with a new "City Centre" designation for the lands located on the north-west corner of Liverpool Road and Highway 401, east of Pine Creek; Replacing"Downtown Core" with "City Centre" in the Land Use Structure legend; • Adding an asterisk and the words "SUBJECT TO SECTION 11.10 (d)" to the Land Use Structure legend; as illustrated on Schedule `A' attached to this Amendment. 2.0 Amending Schedule II— Transportation System for the roads subject to the amendment by • Adding a "Future Collector Road", south of Highway 401, from Brock Road to Bayly Street; • Adding a "Future Type C Arterial Road" from Liverpool Road to Kingston Road opposite Walnut Lane; and • Adding a "Future Type C Arterial Road" and "Overpass" from Bayly Street crossing over Highway 401 to Kingston Road; as illustrated on Schedule 'B' attached to this Amendment. 11 .

Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information regarding a. Zoning By-law Amendment application, submitted by Pickering Developments (401) Inc., Pickering Developments (Bayly) Inc. and Pickering Developments (Squires) Inc., to broaden the list of permitted employment uses on the subject lands in order to facilitate the future development of an integrated mixed use tourist destination. This report contains general information on the applicable Official Plan and other related policies, and identifies matters raised to date. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification and identify any planning issues. This report is for information and no decision on this application is being made at this time. Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee upon completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal. 2. Property Location and Description • the subject lands comprise three parcels which have a combined area of approximately 90.5 hectares; the subject lands are generally bounded by. Highway 401 and GO Rail to the north, Church Street South to the east, Bayly Street to the south and the CN rail tracks to the west of Squires Beach Road (see Location Map, Attachment#1) • two municipal roads, Kellino Street and Squires Beach Road, bisect the subject lands, resulting in three separate parcels • the subject lands contain three minor tributaries of Duffins Creek, which flow from north to south, as well as forested and wetland areas that comprise part of the Lower Duffins Creek Wetland Complex, a Provincially Significant Wetland (see Submitted Property Plan, Attachment#2) • portions of the subject lands have recently been used for agricultural purpose, while the remainder of the lands are vacant open space • there are no buildings or other structures on the subject lands 53 Information Report No. 04-14 Page 2 • surrounding land uses include: north - CN Rail corridor and Highway 401 east of Squires Beach Road; and a property with trailers stored on it west of Squires Beach Road immediately south of the CN Rail corridor south - industrial lands on the south side of Bayly Street consisting of vehicle sales establishment, Pickering Markets and Trade Centre, warehouse-logistic facility, and a place of worship located at the northeast corner of Bayly Street and Squires Beach Road east. - Annandale Golf and Country Club on the east side of Church Street in the Town of Ajax west - CN Rail line, and further west, industrial lands occupied with general industrial land use 3. Applicant's Proposal • the applicant is proposing to broaden the list of permitted employment uses on the subject lands in order to provide the flexibility to facilitate the future development of an integrated mixed use tourist destination • a preliminary conceptual master plan has been prepared for the entire site demonstrating how various buildings and uses could be located and integrated on the site; the concept plan illustrates a convention centre, performing arts centre, amphitheatre, cinemas, restaurant plaza, casino and five-star hotel; waterpark hotel and waterpark, office buildings, tourist centre/greenhouse, film studio, boutique hotel, fitness centre and spa, and parking structures (see Conceptual Master Plan, Attachment#3) • the vision is to have the site develop over time as a large, integrated and planned tourist destination complex with a strong commitment to architectural and urban design while integrating the development with the surrounding environmental features; specific uses and precise locations would be identified in the future • the key design considerations for this project include: o protecting the environmentally sensitive lands by providing a buffer between the significant natural features and the developable spaces, while integrating passive recreational trails and walkways within the buffer areas o establishing a strong commitment to design excellence with respect to enhanced architecture and urban design while incorporating sustainable design elements such as minimizing energy consumption, maximizing stormwater infiltration, and incorporating green roofs o encouraging the design of streets, and blocks that create a walkable, animated and pedestrian friendly environment o establishing prominent boulevards that include benches, street trees, other landscaping, pedestrian-scale lighting, and public art o providing ground floor uses that face a public space with transparent glazing along the ground level to animate the street and providing at least one pedestrian entrance for each building wall facing a publicly accessible space, such as a street, square, plaza or open space 54 Information Report No. 04-14 Page 3 o designing public and private streets to accommodate multiple modes of travel, anticipated traffic volumes, and on-street parking o minimizing surface parking, where appropriate, and incorporating on-street parking, time of use parking, and underground and structure parking • the applicant has submitted a single Zoning By-law Amendment application but has requested that the implementing zoning by-law be prepared in two phases (see Submitted Zoning Phasing Plan, Attachment#4) • the Phase 1 area was determined by the applicant by delineating a 120 metre offset from the Provincially Significant Wetlands located on the Phase 2 lands; development of the Phase 1 lands would therefore be outside the area of impact for these features; an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Phase 1 area has been submitted • for the Phase 2 area, the applicant has advised that a separate EIS is being undertaken for review and consideration, along with other supporting studies, to establish development limits that ensure the development of the Phase 2 lands will have no negative impact on the environmental features and their functions 4. Policy Framework 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan • the Regional Plan (DROP) designates the subject lands as "Urban Systems - Employment Areas" with a "Regional Corridor" overlay along the Bayly Street frontage • the lands containing the Duffins Creek tributaries, forested areas, and the Provincially Significant Wetlands are designated as "Key Natural Heritage and Hydrologic Features" requiring any proposal for development or site alteration to demonstrate that there will be no negative effects on key natural heritage or hydrologic features, or their functions • the DROP states that the Region, in cooperation with the area municipalities, shall maximize the employment potential of designated Employment Areas • Employment Areas may permit a range of employment uses including manufacturing, assembly and processing of goods, service industries, research and development facilities, warehousing, business parks, limited personal service uses, hotels, office, storage of goods and materials, retail warehouses, freight transfer and transportation facilities • limited personal service and retail uses, serving the immediate designated Employment Area may be permitted as a minor component (e.g. 10%) of the aggregate gross floor area of the uses in the designated Employment Area provided that a single retail use does not exceed 500 square metres • • the plan states that "Regional Corridors" shall be planned and developed as higher density mixed use areas supporting higher order transit services and development • Bayly Street is designated as a "Type A Arterial Road" and a "Transit Spine"; Church Street is designated as a "Type B Arterial Road"; and Squires Beach Road is designated as a "Type C Arterial Road" • 55 Information Report No. 04-14 Page 4 • Regional staff have verbally advised that the concept of an integrated tourist destination is permitted by the Employment Area designation 4.2 Pickering Official Plan • in 1997, the Council-adopted Pickering Official Plan identified the land use designations for the subject lands as "Employment Areas - Mixed Employment" along the north side of Bayly Street, "Open Space System - Natural Areas" on the southwest corner of the subject lands, and "Employment Areas -Prestige Employment" on the remaining lands • however, the Region of Durham, in approving the City's Official Plan, identified the subject lands as a Deferral Area, represented as "D32" on Schedule 1 — Land Use Structure • the deferral was the result of a request by the previous land owner (Runnymede Development Corporation) at the time the Region of Durham was considering the approval of the Pickering Official Plan, in 1997 • the Region of Durham agreed to the deferral; however, the rationale for the deferral was not further advanced by Runnymede and remained in place • in December 2013, the applicant requested that the Region and the City lift the deferral for these lands; on March 10, 2014, the Region of Durham issued a Notice of Decision to remove Deferral D32 thereby approving the underlying designations • a range of employment uses are permitted within the Prestige Employment designation including: light manufacturing; assembly and processing of goods; light service industries; office; corporate office business parks; limited personal services uses; restaurants; hotels; and appropriate community, cultural and recreational uses • the Mixed Employment designation permits the same uses as Prestige Employment, as well as limited retailing of goods and services serving the area • the lands that are designated Open Space— Natural Area represent lands that are in proximity to the wetlands associated with Duffins Creek • permissible uses within lands designated Open Space— Natural Area include conservation, environmental protection, restoration and passive recreation • Schedule II — "Transportation Systems", designates Bayly Street as a "Type 'A' Arterial Road" and a "Transit Spine", Church Street is designated as a "Type 'B' Arterial Road" and Squires Beach is designated as a "Type 'C' Arterial Road" • Type 'A' Arterial Roads are designed to carry large volumes of traffic at moderate to high speeds, have some access restrictions, and generally have a right-of-way width ranging from 36 to 50 metres • Type 'B'Arterial Roads are designed to carry moderate volumes of traffic at moderate speeds, have some access restrictions, and generally have a right-of-way width ranging from 30 to 36 metres 56 Information Report No. 04-14 Page 5 • • Type 'C'Arterial Roads are designed to carry lower volumes of traffic at slower speeds, provide access to properties, and have a right-of-way width ranging from 26 to 30 metres • Transit Spines are recognized corridors where higher level of transit service is to be encouraged • the concept of an integrated tourist destination is permitted by the Prestige and Mixed Employment designations • the subject application will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the Pickering Official Plan during the further processing of the application 4.2.1 Brock Industrial Neighbourhood Policies • the subject lands are located within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood. • the Neighbourhood Map identifies a Detailed Review Area on the subject lands along the Bayly Street frontage • the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood policies state that City Council shall facilitate vehicular traffic movement through the neighbourhood through the extension of Squires Beach Road over Highway 401 to connect with Notion Road • the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood Plan shows a "Proposed New Road Connection" between Church Street and Squires Beach Road, located about half way between Bayly Street and Kellino Street • 4.3 Zoning By-law 2511 • the subject lands are currently zoned as, "Ml"— Storage & Light Manufacturing Zone, "M2" — Industrial Zone and "M2S" —Yard Storage and Heavy Manufacturing Zone within Restricted Area Zoning By-law 2511., as amended • all three zones permit a variety of industrial uses, including but not limited to, professional office, business office, light manufacturing, railway trackage and loading facilities, and warehouse or distribution depot, and are subject to various performance standards • the applicant has requested a zoning by-law amendment to broaden the list of existing employment uses to facilitate the future development a Tourist Destination Zone • the specific tourist destination uses that have been requested are listed in Appendix I to this report 5. Comments Received 5.1 Resident Comments • various parties have expressed interest in the application and have requested information, but none have provided specific comments or concerns on the application 57 Information Report No. 04-14 Page 6 5.2 Agency Comments Ministry of Transportation • Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has advised that the subject lands are within their permit control area • future development of these lands will require Ministry's review and approval, and a MTO Building and Land Use Permit for any development, entrance, change of entrance use, building or structure within 45 metres of the Highway 401 property line, or within 395 metres of the centre point of an intersection or interchange with Highway 401 5.3 City Departments Comments • none received in response to the circulation to date 6. Planning & Design Section Comments . The following matters have been identified by staff for further review and consideration: • reviewing the appropriateness of establishing a major tourist destination zone in the City of Pickering • reviewing the applicant's suggested list of additional employment uses to determine if they are appropriate for a tourist destination zone and appropriately implement the policies and provisions of the City's Official Plan • ensuring that the proposed development is compatible with and sensitive to the existing surrounding uses • considering an alternative to the applicant's request to have the zoning by-law amendment application processed in two phases that would allow the entirety of the lands to be zoned at the same time • considering the use of one or more holding zone provisions in the implementing zoning by-law, to address the differences between the Phase 1 and Phase 2 lands, and ensure that the following matters are addressed: o resolving all technical matters with respect to traffic and access, noise, stormwater management, and site servicing to the satisfaction of the City and the Region o entering into any development agreements required by the City and the Region o preparing urban design guidelines to the satisfaction of the City which may provide details regarding such matters as: street and block pattern; land use mix and distribution; built form and architecture; massing and heights of buildings; pedestrian connections; parking strategy; landscaping and open space connections; preservation of natural features; view corridors; and phasing of the proposed development o obtaining all required approvals and permits from external agencies including MTO and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 58 Information Report No. 04-14 Page 7 • reviewing the submitted Natural Heritage Assessment report to determine the site's developable limits, establish minimum buffer requirements from the Provincially Significant Wetlands and other natural features, and recommend mitigation measures to minimize any negative impacts on the natural features • reviewing the submitted Urban Transportation Study to ensure the existing transportation network can accommodate the future traffic generated by this development, and determine if there are any road improvements that may be required to accommodate the proposal • determining the appropriate performance standards to be included in the zoning by-law amendment with respect to building height, building setbacks, parking, and landscaping • the City Development Department will conclude its position on the applications after it has received and assessed comments from the circulated department, agencies and public 7.
