BACKGROUND:
1.0 Besis for lhe Detailed Review
The basis for the review is the Town's 1997 Official Plnn. The Pickering Plun identifies the
south end of Liverpool Roud as e Detuiled Review Arcu, requiring development guidelines.
Furlher, lhe Plan identifies that Town Council shnll endcavour to complete u detnilcd rcvicw
prior to approving mujor development within a Detailed Review Areu. With the submission
in 1999 of two devclopment applications ulong the south end of Liverpool Road (one of
which is requesting a change to the OtTiciel Plan), Council passed Resolution �181/99.
Resolution �181/99, acknowledged the significance of the Liverpool Roud south areu, and
requested thnt stuff prepare a Terms of Reference for n Detniled Review of thc
Liverpool Road south aren. A copy of Council's Resolution is provided as Attnchment #l.
The Terms of Reference are provided as Appendix I to the Report. A map oFthc Study Arcu
is contained on tha lest page of the Appendix. The mnp also shows the lands subject to
development npplicntions.

4.0 Comments on the Dmft Terms of Reference
Copies of the dmfl Tenns were mndc nvnilable to those who called in responsc to n notice
placed in the locnl newspaper. Interested residents, Inndowners, bu�iness operators,
developers, the•Pickering East Shore Communily Associntion, the Toronto a�d Region
Conservation Aulhority, Town staff, and others received copies. Copies of written
comments received tu of lhe time of preparing this Reporl nre provided as
Atmchments #2 and N3. Other comments were received verbally.
Comments received generally fcll into five cate�ories:
1. changes to the scope of the study (for exnmple, to undertuke n ma�ter drainnge
plan for all of Frenchman's Bny; to restrict design guidelines to development
on the land);
2. revisions to the study process (for exompie, to add more public input, to add n
study teum, to hire ilvough a request for proposnls);
3, ndditionni detail or nitemnte Inngunge with similar mcuning (for example, to
add an examinntion of commercial uses);
4. sWting u desircd couclusion of thc study (for cxnmplc, cancluding thnt oil•gril
separutors should be used); and
5. technical,editorial,orotherclarifications.
We reviewed the comments und have madc Iwo subsinntivc revisions in responsc. Doth ore
additions to Task I.1.1, Background, and Preliminnry Plan. Thc first change adds
a#]0,"cnvironmentnl rcstamtion nnd manugcmcnP', to thc list of madcrs for which
opportunities and constrainls within thc Study Area should be nssesscd. The second ndds
the rcquirement to conduct a public workshop / open housc as pan of thc first task.
We hnve nlso movel thc sccond workshop / open housc in Pnrt I, Gom thc end of Phnse 1 to
ihe beginning of Phase 2. Other minor cditoriul nnd fortnntting changes hove bccm m�dc.
A request to eliminnte the bay from the study nrca wos rcccived. However, since the study is
investignting opportunities and constrnints for marinas, it was concluded thut the watcr
portion of the study arca is appropriate. Funhcr, since there is a strong conncction with the
�iinrsas and thc harbout entrunce, thc study nrca was rcviscd to include the entirc channel
entrance.
We cnrefully considercd the additionnl mntters requcsted as cxpansions to the scope of the
study and concur they are imporinnt matters. Nevettheless, wc hnve concluded thet these
matters should be addressed as sepurnte initiatives. As discussed enrlicr in this Report, the
basis for lhis study is the Detniled Revicw policies of the Officinl Plan. This Revicw is
complementary to those other studies, projects nnd initiatives thut have been previously
identified, ere on-going, or are yct to be commenced.
It is proposed that this land use and design study be undertnken und coordinated by the
Planning und Developmenl Depa�iment, with the ussistance of outside consultanis as
requircd, in specialiud areas. Stnff from thc Toronto and Region Consccvation Authority
will also be nsked to nssist with, und review, stoRnwata management information, Council
has indicuted its desire to complete this review in a timely fashion. Given the significant
work done to-datc along tha wnterfront, thc limited scopc of the Review, and inclusion of
four public workshops / open houses in the study process, we concludc thnt thcrc is no nccd
for a major "stcering committcc" to dircct thc study.
There mny be additional comments rcccived on ttic drnfl Tcrtns of Rcfcrcnce bctwecn the
relense of this Planning RcpoA and Council's consideration of thc Temis of Rcfercncc. Staff
will fonvard to Council any ndditional commcnts rcccivcd, together with any
recommendations arising from our reoiew.

To nssist sWff, cach Pnrt of the study will require thc serviccs of n consultnnt with a specific

Pnr1 will not exceed 520,000. Given the relntivcly low cost of ench Part and nature of the
work, u formnl and complete Request for Proposal process will not be followed. However,
staff will be interviewing candidntes wilh expertise in each of the puriicular fields required,
and will select one for each Puri, Thcrefore, il is rcquested that Council au�horizc the

Thc east spit, the Laka Ontsrio shoreline, end the Cless 2 wetland to thc east of Frenchman's Bay
are designated "Open Spnce System — Natural Arens" by the Pickering Official Plen.
Permissibie uses in the category include primazily consecvation, education, restoration, and
passive recreation uses.
Low Densitv Residentiel
Thc balnncc of the arca, norih to Commeree Strcet and immediately bcyond, is designated as
"Urban Residential Arcas - Low Density" by the Pickering Official Plan. This designation
pertnils primerily residentinl develapment at a density of up to 30 unils per net heclare.
However, other uses may be permissible including: limited ofiices serving the area; rctniling of

OTHER COUNCIL INITiATIVES
Overtiding the specific land usc and policy directivcs of ihc Marinn Arcas, Nuturul Areus, and
Low Density designations is a genuinc desiro to promote +n nttrective, heulthy and nccessible
centre for the watedront wtithin Ihe Liverpoul Rond South Aren that uttracts rcsidcnts and
visitors. The Council-receivcd "Mayor's Wutcrfront 2001 Taskfarce Rcport", the
Millennium Trail Ad-hoc Committee Report, as wcll us the Council•ndopted
Millennium Trail Plan, attest to tha great significancc oC the Study Area und its rolc within thc
bronder wuterfront vision.
Substuntial pubiic und political ef(orts havc been expcndcd to renlize the Area's potential as a
local and regionnl resource. The Town, together with a number of other govemment and private
funding partners, is investing significant funds into the waterfront, as purt of thc
To�m's Millen�ium Squere and Truil project.
DEVELOPI9ENT APPLICATIONS
The Town af Pickering hes recently received two mnjor development proposnis within �he
Livcr�Cwl Raad South Arcu, along Livcrpool Road immcdiutcly soulh of Whurf Strcct. Thc
location of the lands subject to thcsa applications is nlso shown on thc attachcd map. These
npplicutions propose dcvelopment lhal is perceivcd by sotnc members of Ihe community lo be a

development.
Both applications proposc u"marinc villagc" townhou�-� ;tylc fortn, with dctnchcJ garugcs
sccessed via n privute rcur lanc. 'I'he proposal on thc cast sidc cnvisages boat storngc and parking
azen on thc eastcrly quartcr of Ihc site, und requcsts Ilcxibility for professionul officcs nnd dny
cnrc within thc proposcd units.
A two•phascd devclopment progmm is propoud on �he west sidc, with Phosc I devotcd to the
