• the property has a total land area of approximately 4.0 hectares with
approximately 80 metres of frontage along Highway 7
• the property currently supports a one storey detached dwelling and a two
storey building, which accommodates the existing dog daycare and boarding
facility with associated retail; the existing facility was originally permitted

Information Report No. 07-14 Page 2
3. Background -
• in 2005, the applicant submitted a zoning by-law amendment application to
permit a dog daycare and boarding facility with associated retail, on the
northern portion of the subject property, while retaining the existing residence
• during the review of the application, a number of issues relating to noise, the
structural integrity of existing buildings, and the need for site plan approval
were identified; although the structural integrity of the building was addressed,
there was an on-going concern with the potential for noise
• accordingly, in 2007, City Council approved the use by passing a temporary
use by-law, for a period of three years, to allow the potential impacts of noise
to be monitored
• • Site Plan Approval was granted in May 2010, but the temporary use by-law
expired on July 23, 2010, before the facility could become fully operational
(see Submitted Plan, Attachment#2)
• in March 2011, City Council approved an extension to the temporary use
zoning by-law for an additional three years in order to monitor the operation
and fully assess any potential impacts, including noise on surrounding
properties
• the extension to that temporary use zoning by-law expired on March 24, 2014

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).

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).

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.

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.

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. .

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.
The intent of the zoning by-law is to implement specific performance standards
including minimum lot frontage, lot area, yard setbacks, and maximum building
height to ensure that the proposal complements existing built pattern such as
form, height and position relative to the street and to facilitate dwelling designs
that would maintain the character of the existing residential neighbourhood.
7.0 Applicant's Comments
The applicant has been advised of the recommendations of this report.

•
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.
Further, it is recommended that Council authorize staff to revise the City's Site Plan
Control By-law to incorporate the new powers enabled by Amendment 23. 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. Comments received on Proposed Amendment 23 and Proposed
Informational Revision 20
2.1 Comments from the November 25, 2013 Statutory Open House
Eight people attended the November 25, 20 13 Open House. Questions were
asked for clarification but no formal comments or submissions were made at the
open house.
2.2 Comments from the December 2, 2013 Statutory Public Meeting
Two verbal submissions were made at the December 2, 2013 Statutory Public
Meeting at the Planning and Development Committee. A summary of C.
Beattie's and G. Zimmerman's verbal submissions and staffs response is
contained in Table I: Response to Comments Received on Proposed Official
Plan Amendment 23 (see Appendix III to Report PLN 11-14).
2.3 Written submissions received
One written submission was received from E. Howson from MSH Ltd.
representing the Seaton Landowner Group, and four from Zelinka Priamo Ltd.
The letters from Zelinka Priamo Ltd. present the same content, but represent the
interests of two different landowners: Loblaw Properties Limited, and
Pickering-Brock Centre Inc. A summary of the written submissions received and
staffs response is also contained in Table I (see Appendix III).

2.4 Additional consultation with the public and landowner representatives
Planning staff had separate meetings after the public meeting to further discuss
the contents of verbal and/or written comments received with:
• C. Beattie, C. McDuffy and A. McKinnon (West Shore residents)
• E. 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.

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.

Recommended Amendment 23 to the Pickering Official Plan
Purpose: The City is proposing to change its Official Plan by.
introducing new policies and changing existing policies that
will strengthen the Plan's policy foundation for sustainable
placemaking on aspects such as 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 amendment also includes 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".
Location: This amendment is to apply to all lands within the
municipality of the City of Pickering.
Basis: On January 1, 2007 the Planning and Conservation Land
Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006 (Bill 51) came into effect,
amending the Planning Act. The amendments to the
Planning Act provide area municipalities in Ontario 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.
The current Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) that came into
effect on April 30, 2014, strengthened policies on energy
conservation, air quality, and the wise use and management
of resources. The PPS provides a foundation for the
implementation of Bill 51.

the effects of the built environment on the natural
environment, and often involve energy efficiency,
recycling, safety and health concerns and renewable
energy resources.
Heat Island means an area, such as a city or industrial
site, having consistently higher temperatures than
surrounding areas because of a greater retention of
heat, as by buildings, concrete, and asphalt.
Placemaking is an urban design process aimed at
creating communities that offer a distinct character, a
strong sense of community, a context for healthy
lifestyles and a high quality of life.
Renewable Energy Systems means the production of
electrical power from an energy source that is renewed
