From: Thomas Melymuk • Director, City Development Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/13 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2013-05 Louisville Homes Ltd. 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Recommendation: 1. That Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2013-05, submitted by Louisville Homes Ltd., on lands municipally known as 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road, to establish a residential plan of subdivision for 27 lots, 8 blocks for future development, a block for Fairport Road widening, and the southerly extensions of Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive, as shown on Attachment#3 to Report PLN 10-14, and the implementing conditions of approval, as set out in Appendix I, be endorsed; and 2. Further, that Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/13, submitted by Louisville Homes Ltd., to implement the Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2013-05 be endorsed with the provisions contained in Appendix II to Report PLN 10-14, and that staff be authorized to finalize and forward the implementing Zoning By-law Amendment to Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The subject lands are located on the west side of Fairport Road south of Strouds Lane and north of Welrus Street within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment#1). Louisville Homes Ltd. submitted applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and an • implementing Zoning By-law Amendment proposing a residential plan of subdivision for 27 lots, 8 blocks for future development, a block for Fairport Road widening, and the southerly extensions of Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive. Of the 8 blocks, 2 blocks (Blocks 34 and 35) are required to provide temporary secondary access for local traffic, emergency and waste collection vehicles, and snow clearing equipment. In response to concerns from area residents regarding the compatibility of the lot sizes adjacent to the existing development on Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive, the applicant submitted a revised plan. The revised plan transitions the frontages along the streets from 18.6 and 18.2 metres, to 12.2 metres, replacing the lot frontages of 12.5 to 13.8 metres in the original plan (see Revised Draft Plan, Attachment#3). 9 Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 2 The proposed development is appropriate and implements the Official Plan. The layout of the subdivision plan conforms to the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. The recommended performance standards will ensure that the size, scale and height of the proposed dwellings will be compatible with the existing built form along Fairport Road, Wingarden Crescent, and Shade Master Drive.. A number of concerns were raised by area residents with respect to compatibility with the established neighbourhood, construction activities, compensation for the loss of existing mature trees and vegetation, and grading and drainage issues. These matters have been satisfactorily addressed by the applicant and through conditions of approval. Accordingly, staff recommends that Council endorse Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 9/13, revised Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2013-05 and the related conditions of approval. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. 1. Background • 1.1 Property Description The subject lands are located on the west side of Fairport Road, south of Strouds Lane and north of Welrus Street within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment#1). The subject lands comprise two properties . having a combined area of approximately 2.35 hectares. The site currently supports two 2-storey detached dwellings fronting on Fairport Road, which are proposed to be demolished. Land uses surrounding the subject lands include low density residential consisting of detached dwellings. 1.2 Applicant's Original Proposal The applicant submitted applications for approval of a Draft Plan of Subdivision and an implementing Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate a residential development consisting of 27 lots for detached dwellings and 8 blocks for future residential development. The proposal also includes the extension of both Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive about 120 metres south. Of the 8 future blocks, 6 blocks (Blocks 28 to 33 inclusively) are located on the west side of a future extension of Wingarden Crescent. The remaining 2 blocks (Blocks 34 and 35) are required for a temporary public secondary access within the subdivision until such time as the lands to the south are developed, and Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive are extended further south. A 3.0 metre wide road widening is also proposed along Fairport Road (see Original Draft Plan, Attachment #2). 10 Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 3 1.3 Applicant's Revised Plan The applicant has submitted a revised subdivision plan. The revised plan adjusts the lot frontages along Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive to address resident concerns regarding the compatibility of the proposed new lots with existing development on these streets. The lot frontages adjacent to existing development are now 18.2 and 18.6 metres, and they gradually reduce to 12.2 metres at the south end of the proposal (see Revised Draft Plan, Attachment#3). The original plan provided lot frontages ranging between 12.5 and 13.8 metres. The number of lots remains the same. 2. Comments Received 2.1 Public comments from the March 3, 2014 Public Information.Meeting, the April 23, 2014 Public Open House and in written submission At the Public Information Meeting, approximately nine residents/landowners attended the meeting to voice their concerns with respect to the development proposal. Specifically, the concerns identified are as follows: • compatibility of the proposed development with the existing neighbourhood regarding built form, lot frontage, size and scale of the proposed dwellings • the length of time for construction for the entire development, including the 8 future development blocks • the removal of existing mature trees and other vegetation prior to receiving all of the required planning approvals • impacts of grading and drainage on adjacent properties • impacts of construction activities including access, parking of construction vehicles, noise and dust, and the preference for the construction access to be from Fairport Road rather than Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive A Public Open House was held to show the Revised Plan, provide further clarification to the area residents regarding the development proposal, and address their concerns identified at the Public Information Meeting. Seven residents attended the meeting and one provided written comments regarding the loss of trees from the property. 2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments Region of Durham • the proposal complies with the "Living Area"' • designation policies of the Regional Official Plan • TRCA has determined that the wooded area is not considered a significant Key Natural Heritage Features (woodland) • municipal water and sanitary services are available to the subject lands from Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive 11 Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 4 • • the proposed lots fronting Fairport Road can be serviced by the existing connections • staff support a temporary secondary access to safely accommodate waste management vehicles • based on the review of the Environmental Noise Assessment, prepared by YCA Engineering, dated October 2013, the study identifies noise mitigation measures for Lots 1 to 6; the study is acceptable to the Region, and the appropriate excerpts of the study shall be included in the City's subdivision agreement • • the Region has no.objections to the applications and has provided conditions of draft approval Toronto and no objections to the approval of the applications Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) Durham Region • no objection to the applications Transit Durham District • no objection to the applications School Board • elementary students will be accommodated within an existing school facility Durham Catholic • no objection to the applications District School • elementary students will be accommodated at Board St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School Engineering & • generally satisfied with the development proposal Public Works • the subdivision agreement will address matters • such as but not limited to, road construction, easements, temporary secondary access, construction management, grading and stormwater management Fire Services • no objection to the applications • staff support the temporary secondary access for emergency vehicles 12 - Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 5 3.0 Planning Analysis 3.1 The proposal conforms to the density provisions and infill policies of the Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as "Urban Residential — Low Density Areas" within the Dunbarton Neighbourhood. Lands within this • designation are intended primarily for housing at a net residential density of up to and including 30 units per net hectare. The proposed development, when complete, would result in a density of approximately 18 units per net hectare. The density falls within the permitted density range and is appropriate for an infill development in this area. The Official Plan states that City Council shall encourage infill development of vacant or underutilized blocks of land and the provision of compact housing form, having regard to housing type, architecture design and cost-effective development standards. The proposed development will result in an appropriate land use and lotting pattern that is in keeping with the established lotting pattern • . along Wingarden Crescent, Shade Master Drive and Fairport Road. 3.2 The revised plan is consistent with the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Development Guidelines, and the recommended performance standards will ensure compatibility with the existing neighbourhood The Official Plan recognizes that in establishing performance standards, restrictions and provisions for residential development, particular regard shall be. had to protecting and enhancing the character of established neighbourhoods, considering such matters as lot frontage, building height, yard setbacks, lot coverage, access to sunlight, parking provisions and traffic implications. The applicant is proposing 3 lots along Fairport Road with a minimum lot frontage of 15.2 metres. This frontage meets the minimum lot frontage-requirements of the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines and generally maintains the lot frontage character along the west side of Fairport Road. The proposed lot frontages along the extension of Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive in the revised plan range from 18.2 and 18.6 metres at the north end, abutting existing development, to 12.2 metres at the south end. The . lot frontages of existing development to the north range from 12.0 to 15.0 metres. The proposed lot frontages are consistent with the existing lot frontages within the immediate area and with the 12 metre minimum lot frontage requirement of the Dunbarton Guidelines. The Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines include an objective to establish • maximum dwelling heights of 9.0 metres. Existing zoning for the surrounding properties to the north along Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive and along the west side of Fairport Road generally have a maximum building height restriction ranging between 9.0 and 12.0 metres. 13 Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 6 Taking into consideration the proposed grading, City Development staff recommend restricting the maximum building height to 10.0 metres for all lots, except for the proposed lots on the west side of Wingarden Crescent which will have a maximum building height of 12.0 metres. This will result in similar building heights as existing dwellings within the immediate area. The applicant will also be maintaining similar building setbacks and building separation standards as properties immediately to the north. Appendix ii of this report outlines the recommended zoning performance standards for the zoning by-law. The proposed lotting pattern and development standards will ensure an appropriate built form that is compatible with the established residential development immediately to the north and along Fairport Road and is consistent with the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines. 3.3 Proposed Blocks 28 to 33 will be rezoned with a (H) Holding Provision and will be developed once Wingarden Crescent is extended further south In 1997, the lands within Blocks 28 to 33 were rezoned to "S3-7" to facilitate future residential development for detached dwellings with a minimum lot frontage of 12.0 metres. The applicant is proposing to incorporate these lands into the proposed draft plan in order to create a total of 6 future blocks for detached dwellings. In the interim, the proposed 6 blocks will be land-locked. The Durham Regional Official Plan permits the creation of a land-locked parcel related to a land assembly for a future subdivision proposal, provided that there is an overall plan, indicating the approximate extent of the land assembly and provisions for future access. The applicant's proposal is consistent with the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines, which illustrate the southerly extension of Shade Master Drive and Wingarden Crescent. it is appropriate to create the 6 blocks at this time subject to a holding provision. The holding symbol will be removed by City Council once Wingarden Crescent is extended further south to the satisfaction of the City. 3.4 A temporary east-west road is required to provide a secondary access Blocks 34 and 35 of the subdivision plan provide for a temporary access road connecting the southern extensions of Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive. The temporary access road, of 6.5 metres in width, will provide for a secondary access for local subdivision traffic, and permit emergency and waste collection vehicles, and snow clearing equipment to travel through the subdivision in an efficient manner. This avoids the need for multi-point turns along the road or construction of large temporary cul-de-sacs at the southern limits of Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive. 14 Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 7 Once lands to the south develop, the temporary road will be removed. Regional staff, and City Fire and Engineering & Public Works staff support the temporary • east-west road. 3.5 Compensation will be provided for the removal of the existing trees and vegetation Residents expressed concerns with the loss of existing mature trees and vegetation from the subject lands prior to the applicant receiving all of the required planning approvals. The City has a Tree Protection By-law (By-law Number 6108/03) that applies to areas designated as shorelines and stream corridors, wetlands and other significant environmental areas. The subject lands are not within the area regulated by the City's Tree Protection By-law. Further, TRCA staff have determined that the vegetation and wooded area are not considered a significant woodland. However, due to the loss of existing vegetation and trees'on the site, the applicant has agreed to provide a financial contribution for off-site tree planting on publicaliy-owned lands. The applicant has also agreed to plant additional trees within the rear yards of Blocks 23 to 33 to help provide screening for the residents along Spruce Hill Road and to increase the tree canopy in the area. 3.6 Construction activities are required to comply with an approved Construction Management Plan • Residents expressed a concern with the construction activity and impacts on the surrounding area. The applicant will be required to submit a construction management plan which addresses the following: details of erosion and sedimentation control during construction; parking of construction vehicles; storage of construction and building materials; location of the construction trailer; type and timing of construction fencing; and mud and dust control on all roads within and adjacent to the site. To alleviate the impact of construction activity on Wingarden Crescent and Shade Master Drive, the primary construction access will be from Fairport Road (through Lots 1 and 4). To minimize the impacts from construction activities for the existing residents along Spruce Hill Road, the applicant has agreed to erect a 6.0 metre high board on board privacy fence along the mutual property line of . Blocks 23 to 33. The applicant has advised that construction activity may begin this fall and the length of time for construction is approximately two years. . { 15 Report PLN 10-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Louisville Homes Ltd. — 1814 and 1816 Fairport Road Page 8 3.7 Proposed grading and drainage from the development will not impact adjacent properties • Residents expressed a concern with the proposed grading and drainage from the development and the impacts on abutting properties. The City's Engineering & Public Works Department staff has advised that they are generally satisfied with the preliminary grading plan, and detailed grading plans will be required as a condition of final approval. These plans will be reviewed by City staff to ensure compliance with City standards. The required detailed grading plan for the development will ensure that grading and drainage from the development will not impact adjacent properties. 4.0 Sustainability implications have been reviewed Staffs 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, there is limited opportunity to achieve Level 1. The proposed development will utilize existing services along Fairport Road. Further opportunities exist for the applicant to implement additional sustainable options through future building permit processes. 5.0 Technical matters are to be addressed as conditions of subdivision approval • To ensure appropriate development, the City, Region and agency requirements will be imposed as conditions of approval for the subdivision application. These conditions will address matters such as, but not limited to: dedication of Blocks 34 and 35 as a temporary public road; on-site grading; noise mitigation measures and warning clauses; stormwater management; and construction management. The conditions of approval set out in Appendix I to this Report, address these (and other) matters. It is recommended that Council endorse these conditions. 6.0' The zoning by-law is to be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment Staff supports the rezoning application and recommends that the site specific implementing by-law, containing the standards outlined in Appendix II, be brought before Council for enactment following approval of the draft plan of subdivision.

Executive Summary: The Province, through legislative changes to the Planning Act in 2007 (Bill 51), provided area municipalities with additional planning and development control tools to use in the land use planning process, and to help create more environmentally sustainable, vibrant, and healthy communities. • An Amendment to the Pickering Official Plan to implement the new tools provided by the legislation was prepared and circulated for comment. Related Informational Revisions to the Official Plan were also prepared and circulated for comment. 32 Report PLN 11-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 13-002/P Page 2 • The Proposed Amendment identified revisions to the existing policies of the Plan, and new policies to be added to the Plan, that would strengthen the Plan's policy foundation for sustainable placemaking. The Proposed Amendment addressed many topics including: site plan control; sustainable development; energy conservation and efficiency; the urban forest; climate change; community improvement plans; height and density zoning; and other housekeeping items. The Proposed Amendment also included the introduction of definitions for the terms "Adaptation", "Climate Change", "Green Development", "Green Technologies", "Heat Island", "Placemaking", "Renewable Energy Systems", "Sustainable Design" and "Urban Forest". Following the review of comments received from agencies, the public and developers, and one-on-one meetings with companies and individuals on the matter, staff identified a number of minor changes to the Proposed Amendment and the Proposed Informational Revision (see Table 1: Responses to Comments Received on Proposed Official.Plan Amendment 23, Appendix III). Recommended Amendment 23 to the Pickering Official Plan is provided as Exhibit "A" to the draft adopting By-law found as Appendix Ito this Report. Recommended Informational Revision 20 to the Plan is provided as Appendix II. Staff recommends that the City initiated Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 13-002/P, be approved, and that the By-law to adopt Amendment 23 to the Pickering Official Plan be forwarded to Council for enactment. It is also recommended that Council adopt Informational Revision 20 to the Official Plan.

The new powers include the.authority to review matters related to the architectural design of a development, the sustainable elements of a development related to exterior design, as well as the sustainable elements on a City right-of-way adjoining a development. • Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed amendment. 1. Background The review of the Pickering Official Plan is being undertaken through a series of amendments addressing specific topics and geographic areas. "Planning Tools for Sustainable Placemaking" was identified as one of the topics to be addressed through the Official Plan Review. As one of the five corporate priorities of the City of Pickering, Sustainable Placemaking is described as a process to improve the long-term social, environmental, economic and cultural health of the City and it involves: • Building a sustainable city; and • Living and working in a sustainable city. 33 Report PLN 11-14 June 2, 2014 Subject: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 13-002/P Page 3 The creation of sustainable places requires the participation of the City, public agencies, the community and the private sector. They are all active participants in building a sustainable city. The City's role in Sustainable Placemaking requires the creation of a planning policy environment that promotes and requires planning decisions and implementation in support of Sustainable Placemaking. Amendment 23 to the Pickering Official Plan affects many policy sections of the Plan (see the full amendment as Exhibit "A" to Appendix I; a general description of the Amendment is p rovided as Appendix IV). The Amendment mainly addresses the Community Design, Detailed Design Considerations, and the Implementation and Development Review Chapters of the Plan. Related changes to the explanatory text and sidebars of the Official Plan are provided in Informational Revision 20 (see Appendix II; a general description of the Revision is provided as Appendix IV). Staff continues to work on other components of the Official Plan review. Further amendments will be brought forward to address such matters as: Growth Plan conformity for the City Centre, the Environment and Countryside, Growth Plan conformity for areas outside the City Centre, and other house-keeping items such as affordable housing, second units and deferrals. 2.

Howson from MSH Ltd. representing the Seaton Landowner Group • Zelinka Priamo Ltd. and Steven Campbell from Bayfield Realty Advisors Inc. representing Loblaw Properties Limited and Pickering-Brock Centre Inc. Comments made during these discussions related mostly to the points or concerns that had already been raised through the verbal submissions made at the public meeting or in the written submissions. Staff also made a presentation on proposed Amendment 23 to the BILD Durham Chapter on February 25, 2014, which was followed by a question and answer period. 2.5 Region of Durham comments The Region of Durham suggested certain minor revisions to Proposed Amendment 23, and indicated that they do not have any comments or concern with the Proposed Informational Revision. In accordance with Regional By-law 11-2000, the Region has exempted Amendment 23 from Regional approval. A summary of the Region's written comments and staff's response is contained in Table I (see Appendix III). 3. Minor modifications have been made to the Amendment and the . Informational Revision to reflect the staff responses to comments received • Staff agree with the suggested change made by C. Beattie on behalf of West • Shore residents, that the proposed policy on bird friendly glazing [policy 13.10(o)] be expanded to put emphasis on the installation of bird-friendly glazing on new tall buildings located within established migratory flight paths. • Staff agree with the comment of E. Howson that conflict could occur in the implementation of both the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines and the approved Seaton's Sustainable Placemaking Guidelines. Staff therefore recommend the removal of the proposed informational sidebar under Item Number 6 of the Proposed Informational Revision. In updating the draft Sustainable Development Guidelines, staff will ensure that there is no overlap with the Sustainable Placemaking Guidelines for Seaton. • Staff agree with Zelinka Priamo Ltd.'s suggestion in terms of the proposed revision to policy 13.10(c), that the word "require" be changed back to 1'encourage", because in instances where existing building patterns display poor urban design or architectural treatments, new development within such area should not reinforce the existing building pattern. 35 Report PLN 11-14 June 2, 2014 • Subject: Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 13-002/P Page 5 • The Regional Municipality of Durham suggested minor revisions to the proposed definition of the term "Green Technology" and to the proposed policies on density and height bonusing [policy 15.17 (b)] and Community Improvement Plans [policy15.32 (e)] Staff agree with the suggested revisions by the Region. • Upon further review of the proposed revision to policy 13.15(a) which deals with signage, staff identified a further minor amendment to the policy by deleting the words "add colour and". By doing so, the revised policy clarifies that the generic design objectives for signs do not include adding colour. Staff have revised the appropriate sections of Amendment 23 and the Informational Revision, to reflect the changes discussed above. 4. Staff recommend that Draft By-law to Adopt Recommended Official Plan Amendment 23 be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment Staff recommend that Council support the Recommended Amendment by passing the by-law to adopt Amendment 23, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 11-14. It is also recommended that Council adopt the recommended Informational Revision 20 as set out in Appendix II to Report PLN 11-14 for inclusion in the Pickering Official Plan. 5. The additional powers for Site Plan Control, made available through Amendment 23, require minor revisions to the Site Plan Control By-law The Planning Act stipulates that a Site Plan Control By-law requires similar provisions to the Official Plan policies to enable the City, through Site Plan ' Control, to consider matters relating to exterior design [proposed policy 15.23(d)] as well as the provision of sustainable design elements on any adjoining rights-of-way under the City's jurisdiction [proposed policy 15.23(e)]. It is recommended that Council authorize staff to revise the City's Site Plan Control By-law and forward it to Council for enactment, as soon as Amendment 23 comes into.effect.
