Liverpcwi Road Soulh Area Detailcd Rcview; Pert 1— Phese 2 Report
BACKGROUND:
1.0 is o
1.1 StudyArea
lune 8,2000
Page 3
The Liverpool Road South Study Area generaily extends southward from
Commerce Street on both sides of Live►pool Road to Luke Ontario. It extends west to
include all of the properiies south of Commerce Street having both access and exposure
to Frenchman's Bay, including the water lots under the Buy. The study nrea includes the
historic "Village of Fairport", Hydro Marsh, Front Street Pazk, the East Spit and
Beachfront Park. Existing development in the azea includes a mixture of housing,
mnrinas, restaurant, boat storage, marina service, aquaculture, park, and natural open
spaca uses (see Location Map —Attachment #1).
1.2 Development Applications
In July 1999, the City received two major development proposals within the study arca
(the location of the lands subject to thesc applications is also shown on Attachment #1).
The applications, submittal by ihe Pickering Harbour Company (OPA 99-004/P and
A 22/99), a��d G, & A. Hilts (now 794582 Ontnrio Ltd.) (A 23/99), proposed a"marine
village" concept consisting of townhomes, boat staruge areas, and ihe potential for
marinas, mazina•supportive uses, commercial uses, and higher density residential uses.
The ipplications were discussed ut a Statutory Public InCortnatian Mceting held
August 24, 1999.
The Bay Ridges Neighbourhood Mup of the Pickering Official Plan identifies the study
:�rea es being within a"Dctailed Review Arca", which indicates the need to establish
comprehensive lund usc, urban design, transportation, and cnvironmental management
parameters for the area prior to major development occumng. With respect to the
above-mentioned applications, there was considcrable concem expressed by the Ciry and
members of lhc public that such a comprehrnsive plan should be developed before
making any dccisions on specific developmcnt applications.
Accordingly, Cowcil pazsed Resolution #181/99 in September 1999, which directed stafT
to prepare a terms of roference for a Detailed Review of the area. The resolution also
stated that no,recommendations were to be fonvarded to Council on eny major
development pn,posals within the study area until the Detailed Rcview was completed.
1.3 Detailed Review
� :' � . _
Council endorsed a terms of reference for the Livetpool Road South Area Deteiled
Review in December 1999 (see Attachment k2). The Planning and Development
Departrnent was directed to initiate the study, and funding was established to underlake
the work. Three consulting firtns were retained by tho City to provide professional
assistance with merina dovelopment, urban design and market analysis. The firtns are
Totten Sims Hubicki Associetes, Markson Boreoah Hodgson Architects and
TCI Management Consultants Limited. Key personal from those fi�ms combined with
staff of the Plenning and Development Department to fortn a study team to undertake the
Detailed Review.
As per the tertna of refemncc, the Detailed Review consists of two parts. Pazt 1 focuses
on land use, building mass and placement, and provides an appropriate context for the
roview of developmrnt applications. Oncc Council adopts thc recommendaHons of
Part 1, tho stud,y team will proceed with Part 2, which focuses on deteiled design matters
including thc eatablishment of e"themc" for the areq architectural guidelines, and
landscape guidelines.

Live�pcwl Road South Area Detailed Review: Pert 1— Phase 2 Report
2.0 Djscussion
2.1 Public Consultation Swnmery
June 8, 2000
Page 5
The Public Consultadon Summary identifies lhe tormal consultation sessions held during
Part 1 of the Detailed Review. Also summarized are the main issues identified during a
public meeting held May 16'�, 2000, to discuss the Part 1— Phaso 1 Report. A detailed
staff'response is provided for each of the issues.
Briefly, the main issues discussed in the Public Consultation Summary aze as follows;
• several people expressed concern with the potential loss of marina activity if all lands
adjacent to Frenchman's Bay were development for other pucposes; staff agrec and
have revised the development guidelines and dratted Ofticial Plan policy to establish
a"Waterfront Use und Amenity Arca" adjacent to the Bay, in which uses of a
primarily waterfront-related nature will be permitted;
• concems werc raised regarding the potential for new development to have a
detrimental impact on the area's natural features; staff agree that it is important to
considet these impacts; several OfTicial Plan policies provide guidance on this matter,
• the "Pickering Ajax Citizens Together" group has taken the position thal no
bay-filling be permitted; staff suggest that to prohibit bny-filling may preclude
opporiunities to improve certain segments of the Frenchman's Buy shoreline; such
improvemenls may also be appropriate to eccommodate public amenities, such as a
waterfront promenade;
• people were concemcd with the prospccts of increazed traffic in the neighbourhood
resulting from additional development; staff point out the Livccpool Road Wnterfront
Nalc Devolopment Guidelines do no contemplatc a"regional scale" level of
devclopment, as the corresponding intcnsity oC development would be inappropriate
for this area; the trn�c situation will be monitored and mitigutive actions taken if
necessary; and
• several poople objccted to thc suggestion that ceriain existing nnd future roads should
accommodate on-strect parking, and wcre concemed that there may not be enough
parking; staff point out that the parking strategies included within the Development
Guidclines, aze a"package" of oppoAunities, suggesting both on- und off-street
pazking; all will likely be required to accommodate future parking demand in this area
of limited available land; nevertheless, the pazking situation will also be monitored
over time.
2.2 Revised Lund Use Plan
The purpose of the detailed land use plan is to provide a basis for preparing the Liverpool
Road Waterfront Node Developmrnt Guidelines. The rovised plan romains quite similar
to thut appeazing in the Phase 1— Part 1 Report, with one change of note.
The more substantial change is the addition of lhe "Waterfront Use and Amenity Atta",
which is a cortidor stretching approximately 40 metres inland from the edge of
Frenchman's Bay, mm�ing from the Front Slreet City Perk Uvouglt the Marina Mixed Use
Area lo Livecpool Road. Generally, the area is rcserved exclusively for marinc-alatcd
activities, including marinas, yacht clubs, merina-supportive facilities, mooring facilitics,
the waterfront promenade and other public activity areas such es parks, public picrs and
public equares. At Council's discrction, additional uses such as rcsidential, commcrcial,
retail, and office uses, could be conaidercd within the 40 metms, provided that detailed
developmrnt proposals make appropriatc accommodations for merino-related activities
and/or public activity arces (in eddition to the publicly-accessible waterfronl promenade
proviously identified in the Pazt 1— Phase 1 Report).

Liverpool Road Soulh Area Dotailed Review: Pact 1— Phasc 2 Report Page 6
2.3 Liverpool Road Waterfrcnt Noda Development Guidelines
The recommended dovelopment guidelines have been revised moderately sincc the drafl
guidelines were released with the Part 1— Phese 1 Reporl, including minor retbrtnatting.
The revisions of significance are:
c the addition of the Revised Lund Use Plun, which forms a tertiary plan within the
guidelines and provides clerity with respect to the Node's various land uses;
• a new section dealing with the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area (discussed
previously);
• more emphasis on a requirement that any new residential buildings fronting Liverpool
Road include an appropriate ground floor design (intemal and extema]), to
accommodnte a variety of uses (such as retail, commeroial and office), during the
lifespan of the building; nnd
+ new sections that provido greater direction on pecmitting limited commercial uses
within FairpoR Village, environmental management, servicing, stormwater
management, and implementation of the development guidelines.
The development guidelines provide an appropriate level of detail to review development
applications within the Node. Therefore, stafT' recommend that Council adopt the
Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines attached as Appendix II to
Report Number PD 26-00, as the City's strategy for detailed land use, urban design, und
major street layout within the Live�pool Rond South Arca.
Upon completion of Part 2 oCthc Detailed Review, stnCiwill rcpoA back lo Council with
cecommended additions to the development guidelines, consisting of detailed
architcctural and landscape guidelines.
2.4 Revised Implementation Strategy
The Implcmentntion Strstegy addmsses those components of o succcssful waterfront
which assist in implcmenting land use, design and development matters, or are
complementary strategies and initiatives. While the implementation matters identifed
arc aimed at Council, there are other levels of govemment, public and private egencies,
private and non-govemmrnt organizations, and others who will collaboratively assisl in
the achievement of a successful waterfront node.
The Implementation Strategy includes such actions as:
• pursuing opportunities to incrcase public access to the water's edge;
. budgeting for infraswcture projxts such as sidewalks and pedestrian lighting;
. involving the City's Waterfront Coordinating Committee in efforts to improve the
navigability oCFrenchmen's Bay and its harbour encrance; and
• wntinuing efforts to improve the ecological state of Frenchman's Bay and Hydro
Marsh.
Staff recommend that Councii rndorse the "Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Revised
Implementation Strategy�', attached as Appendix III to Report Number PD 26-00, disect
City etal'f to include lhe Implementation Strategy as an appendix to the Liverpool Road
Waterfront Node Development Guidelines, and direct Ciry staCf to revicw implementation
mariers annually and fonvard appropriate projcets for Council's consideration during
budget deliberations.
2.5 Informational Revisions and Potential Amrndmenta to the Pickcring Official Plen
One of the benefita of undertaking a comprehenaive atudy ot this naturc, is thut it can
refine and update tnformation used in the preparation of tho Ciry's O[ficial Plnn. All
potential amendmenta to the Officiel Plen will requirc a public consultation proccss .

separate Crom this Detailed Revicw, includir.g a Statutory Public Information Meeting.
Infortnational reviaions to the O�cial Plen can be adopted by Council at any time.
Informational revisions include the updating of the Neighbourhood Map for the Bay
Ridges Neighboufiood, as well as inCormational text (detaileJ in Apprndix IV to RepoA
Number PD 26-00), Staff recommend that Council adopt "L�fortnational Revision No. 8
to lhe Pickering Of[icial Plan" attached as Appcndix N to Report Number PD 26-00.
Certain amendments to the Pickering O�cial Plen are required to provide a strong policy
foundation for future development within the Waterfront Node. A specific visio�� and set
of objectives emerged through the Detailed Review. Proper Official Plan policy is critical
to the realization of these goals.
Staff have prepared "Potential Am:ndmrnts to the Pickering Ofiicial Plan" attached as
Appendix V to Repori Number PD 26-00, for discussion purposes. Such amendments
muy include policies that:
• recognize the uniqueness of the area and identify it as a"Waterfront Node";
• ensure lhat lands are developed at an appropriate scale with an appropriate mix of
uses;
• ensure that appropriate lands are securcd for public access to the water's edge;
• require ccrtain watcrtronl-related uses next to Frenchman's Bay, and potentially allow
other uses within this erca if dctailcd development proposals contributes nppropriately
to a sense of public realm at the water's edge;
• require that proponents of development enter to agreements with the City; and
• rncourage opportunitics to rcjuvenatc the historic Vilinge of Fairport by pertnitting
small-scalc commercial uses, subject to certain criteria and site-speci5c rezoning
applications.
As mentioned prcviously, amendments to the Official Plan will require a public
consultation process scparste from this Detailed Review. Accordingly, stall'recommend
that Council direct stafl' to hold a Statutury Public Information Meeting on
August 10, 2000, to discuss potential amendments to the Pickering Otficial Plun required
to implement the recommendations of thc "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review:
Part I— Phase 2 ReporC', as generally set out in Appendix V to Report Number
PD 26-00.

CfUzens Together group has taken the posiGon fhet no bayfiping be pertnided,
Staft Response
It is our understanding that propedy des(gned fip operatlons can revitalize shwelNe and Improve fish spawning ard
habitat areas. To compktely prohfbk bay-fillfrg may preclude oppatunWes to (mpmve certa(n segmer�s of the
Frenchman's Bay stro�elGre. Such Improvements may also be appro,xis;e to aceommodate pubpc xraterBont
amenitles, such as a waterfront prort�enade.
Proposals lo fiU within Frenchman's Bay, regardless oi Ihe extent ol the proposed bayfiuirg, will requ(re pertn�s Gom
the Toronto & Region Canse,vatbn Autlarity, tlie federal Depar6rrent af Flshedes ard Oceans, and passiWy the
provinclal MinisUy ot Naturai Resources. �I pmposals W hay-fill will raqui�e del�led Environmenlal Impact Studfes,

Staff Response
As lands in the aiea redevebp, halfic volwnes will fncrease. However, ihis fncrease witl be relaUve lo the tntensity of
fudue devebpment The recommended Developmenl Gu(deGnes (see PaR C), establish parameters for futu�e
devebpment fhat fs cons(stenl with other deveiopment curtently found within U�e Bay Ridges neighbourfiood. The
Devebpment GuideGnes do not contemplale a'regbnal scale' level ot devewpmenf, as the cortesponding inlensity
af devebprt�ent wouid be inappropriate fa Ihfs area.
Certafn evenb and sumrtier weeker�ds may generate peak vdumes of Uaffic higher than whal is typMally
experienced. if fhat o�urs, steps can be laken lo minimize the efiect on U�e nelghbourhood. This could irxlude
sfgnage directing vehides to other eaess mutes (Sandy Beach Road), and provfdfng shu�ie bus service from other
parls of the Cily.

Amendrtwnb to the Pickering Offidai Plan (see Pait � thal w�l establ'�sh a'Wate,�;ont Use and Amenity Area'
adjacent to the Bay. Uses peimitted in Ihis area wUl include marinas, yacht clubs, marina�suppoNve faGTilfes,

Revlew. The concems tegarding the boat launch vrere fonvarded lo the OperaBons and Emergency Services
Deparlment, as will a copy oi thb Report. Flnai decbbns on the design of this park have yet to be made.

Development Cuidelines
C1J Ceneral D�cription
The . Liverpool Road Waterfront Node is located at the southem tip ot the
_ Bay Ridges Neighbourhood. Bay Ridges Iles on the eut side of Frenchman's Bay. Hlghway 401 is
the neighbourhood's northem Iimit, and lake Ontario is its southem limit.
The Liverpool Road Waterfront Node extends Gom the IoLs on the north side of Commerce SVeet
southerly to Lake Ontario along both sides af Ltverpool Road. It extends west to include all of the
properties having access to, and exposure to, Frenchman's Bay, (nciud(ng the water lots under the
Bay. The Node (ncludes the historic Nfllage of Fairport'.
Krosno Creek abuts the east edge of the Node. Further east is Alex Robertson Park,
Sandy Beach Road, and the Plckering Nuclear Generating SWtfon. To the south is Lake Ontario.
To the west lies Frenchman's Bay, and further west is the West Shore Ne(ghbourhood. To the
north Ifes a mixture of old cottage style development, as well as newer 1950's and 1960's
subdivision development. A commercial area servtng the Nefghbourhood is located about a half a
kilometer to the north at the (ntersection of Krosno Boulevard and Liverpool Road.
The Node's history is closely Ifnked with its waterfront location. Over the years, numerous
marinas, boat storege, and marine service businesses have opereted in ihe area, and a number
continue to operate. A sewage pumping station operates on the east side of Liverpool Road.
Add(tlonally, the Node of(ers opportunities for formal and infortnal recreational activities w(th
natural open space, park areas, and tralls.
At the t(me of adoption ot Ihese Guidelines, it was realized that some parts of the area exhibit a
somewhat unkempt, or disused appearance, while others exhibit extreme attentlon to detail, design
and maintenance. Investment and attention by municipal, other govemment and non•govemment
organizations, by individuals, and by private landowners, residents and business operators, will
help pol(sh this •dfamond (n the rough'. �
C1.Y Guiding Vision — "Walerfront Village"
The guiding v(sfon for the entire Node ts that of a'Waterfront Village' with a mix o( uses lhat is
open, accessible and triendly. The Vlllage should be an interesting place to Iive, work, and visit.
Recogniz(ng Frenchman's Bay as a boaHng tourism area, the Water(ront Village will provide
seasonal marina facilities with some opportunities for visiting boaters. Additional land-based
recreation and tourfsm opportuniNes will bring visitors trom the local area interested in spending a
few hours to most of a day tn the area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian
comfort, (ncluding street amen(ties. '
The character of the Waterfront Vfllage will be established by its series of small blocks with
frequent and regular vtews out to the water. The streets will fortn vlew corridors and ad as public
open space. M added benefit of this form of development (s that (rom Frenchman's Bay, the
Waterfront Village will be permeated by view cortidoa, rether than being a cont(nuous wall o(
buildings. •

/1" welltronnected nehnrork of public o'pen space and streets, which exhibit a high level of
streetsppe design and quality, (urther reinforces the character of the Vlllage. The sUeets will
; provide pedesMao-friendly spaces that are sunny, (nviting and sheltered from (nclement weather.
Due to the proxim(ty of the Bay and the relatively inteiise marina uses established In this area, the
entire neighbourhood has been fnfluenced by a'nautical heritage'. The existing marinas have
provfded a focal point and key charecter-seKing element for many years; the conUnuation of mar(na
uses in these areas will persfst az a key character-setting element of the Viliage. Accordingly, lands
adjacent to the Bay will feature a varfety of marine-related adivities, publfc amenities, and a
waterfront promenade meandering along the waters edge.
In addition to the marine-related adivities, the Village will offer a variety of other uses that provtde
oppoRunities tor people to live, work, shop and play withln the area. These additionai uses
include residential development, retail operatlons Iike craft stores, bouUques and bookshops, as
weil as other uses such as restaurants, art studios, and offices.
C1.3 Land Use Objectives
The Terttary Plan (F(gure A on page 3) provides add(tional direction on land uses within lhe Node.
Objedives (or each land use are deWfled below.
C1.3.1 Natural Areas and Oaen Space
Four areas are (ound within this (and use: Front Street City Park; East Spit Beach(ront Park; and,
the Hydro Marsh. The two parks are anticipated to include a mfx of active and passive recreat(onal
areas, as well as vehfcle parking within or near the parks. The 'Mille�••�um Square' — a public
gathering place, is situated at lhe foot o( Liverpool Road, adjacent to Beau�front Park.
The Hydro Marsh is an environmentally sensiUve wetland tn which development is not pertniued.
Development adJacent to the wetland must be destgned (n a manner, wh(ch mitigates detrimental
impacts on the wetland. The East Spit exhibits the characteristia of a dynamic beach. Public uses
are appropriate on the Spit, as are a I(mited number o( use�supportive buildings (washrooms,
landmarks, canteens, etc.). Vehicular access to lhe East Spit and Beachfront Park shall be restricted
to emergency vehicles and maintenance equ(pment.
C1.3.2 Established Built Area
Thts area consists largely of the histor(c Village of Fairport. Of interest (s prolecting the cha�acter of
the historic village while provfding an opportuniry tor reviWlizing a'village' tundion by permitt(ng
such adivities as tearooms, crah shops, art studios, and offices. The additional uses would be
subject to the co�stderation of site�speciflc tezoning app(ications.
C1.3.3 Mar(na Mtxed Use
These lands will develop in a manner that creates a high quality built form that fs sensitive to views
of the water, provides a crftical link for visual and physical public accessibiltty to the wate�front
where appropriate, has an attradive pedestrian scale, and builds upon existing neighbourhood
pattems. Detailed streetscape and architectural srandards will encourage a vibrant street I(fe.

!� madna-support(ve facilitles, maoring fadifdes, publidopen space, residentlal, commercial, retail,
offfce and community uses.
C1.3.4 Waterfront Use and Amenftv Area .
-'.j. ' The Watedront Use and Ameniry Area is a corcidor stretching approximately AO metres inland trom
'•`� the edge of Frenchman's eay, running from the Front Street City Park through the
Marina Mixed Use llrea lo Liverpool Road. Generally, the area Is reserved for maz(n�related
activit(es, including marinas, yacht ciubs, marina-supportive facilities, mooring fadlittes, the
waterfront promenade and other pubiic adiviry areas such as public plers and public squares.
Additional uses, such as residential, commercial, retail, and o((ice uses, could be considered within
the 40 metres on a sitespecific basis, provided that detailed development proposals incorporate
marine-related activit(es and/or publfc activtty areas.
C1.3.5 Livemool Road Cortidor
Development along Liverpool Road will achieve a high levei of design and architectural qualfty,
featur(ng a vibrant pedestrian environment. Over time, the area will ofter a mix of uses fnclud(ng
residential, commercial, retail, and office, which contribute to an inviting public realm at street
level.

be employed throughout the Ciry. This sectlon of the Development Cuidel(nes foliows trom the
discussion on the'Waterfront Village' vis(on, and applies the OHicial Plan's design'tools' to the
Waterfront Node. Th(s direction includes such mattr.rs as placement of new streets, mass(ng and
siting of buildings, and streetsrape design. Dehailed design matters, such as architectural themes,
. landscaping, and design of public roads and traUs, are d(scussed in section C1.7 —
'Detailed Architectural and Landscape Guidelfnes' (ro be mmpleted during Part 2 of the
Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Revfew�
Ct.4.1 Views and Vistas
Curcently, there are open views to Frenchman's Bay from Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street,
which provide a sense of plact to the waterfront loration. Views such as these are considered to
be of primary importance to the establishment and preservat(on ot a sense of place. These views
create the unique atmosphere of the area, and help define the vision for the Node. To preserve,
enhance and maximize opportunittes for vievn (rom the area towarcls Frenchman's Bay and
LakeOnWrio, is of primary tmportance and shall be a key consideration (n the review of,any
development proposal.
Of utmost importance (s the need to proted views, and frame view corridors, at frequent intervals
along Liverpool Road to Frenchman's Bay. The views and visWs conceptualized (n the foilowing
drawing will help to maintain thts area's Iink to the wate�front as weli as proted and enhance
Liverpool Road South's unique sense of place.

C1.4.2 Transoortatfon Network
A rnmplete trensportation nelwork cons(sts of three primary levels. Roadway sudaces are designed
to acrnmmodate vehlcular and birycle trafflc, sidewalks arc deslgned to adequatciy and safely
accommodate pedestrians, and a traU system provides other critfcal Ifnks In die vfcfnity.
Roadways
Existing roads shall be maintatned in their existing mniiguration. Considerot(on should be given to
creating an attractive bus stop near Liverpool Bridge.
New streecs will generally feature an 18-metre rightof-way and will be designed in accordance
with the evolving character of the area. The use ot rear lanes should be encouraged in new
� development so that garage faces and driveway cuts are mintmized along Liverpool Road. Where
, laneways are publ(c, they shall generally be 7.5 metres in width with underground services.
Ltverpool Road shall become the new spine of the proposed public open space nelwork. It will
have on-street pedestrian facilitles of the highest qualiry, including wide, hard•surfaced walkways,
lighting, seating, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, publfc art, and signposts,
Detailed guidelines for road design are included in section C1.7 —'DeWiled Architedural and
Landscape Cuidelines' (to be mmpleted during Part 2 of the llverpool Road Soufh Area Defailed
Revlew].
Sldewalks
The princtples of continuity, safety, convenience, handicap accessibility and camfort will be
employed to create a sidewalk system throughout the Node. It will be appropriate to have a
sidewalk on both sides of Liverpool Road wjth access (rom the public sldewalks into adjacent
buiidings by a m(ntmum number of steps. Streets leading perpendlcular (rom Liverpool Road to
other parts o( the study area may require sidewalks on only one side of the street. New public
'laneways' may carry such low trefflc levels that tfie lane itself may adequately accommodate
pedestrian traf(ic.
Water(ront Promenade
The traditional land-based public network wili be augmented by a weli-designed
publicly-accessible pedestrian promenade along the waterfront. It will ultimately be continuous
(rom Commerce Street south to the bridge at Liverpool Road, allowing for public access to the
water(ront. The waterGont promenade should be wide and generously proportioned. It will be
pedestrian friendly w(th trequent areas for seaNng and lookouts, pedestrian-scale Ilghting and
lntegrated street fumiture.
Recognizing the numerous private ownerships alona the Bay's edge, a variety of access opNons
including ownership, easements and right-0(ways will be requtred to ach(eve the promenade. In
addiHon, some interim solutions, which are set back from the water's edge, such as on-�oad
portions, may be necessary.

C1.4.3 Street and Block Pettem ,
� There are esWblished block pattems that currentiy exfst along Liverpool Road north of Wharf Street.
It is these streets chat provide the iramework from which an area Is expedenced. New streets and
access points shouid continue this traditfonal block pattem. Extension af the small blocks will
provide additional street edges, greater permeability within the neighbourhood, and (requent views
ro the water.
Applying the existing block pattem to lands south of Wharf Street will create (our blocks o� each
side of Liverpool Road. These lands provide areas of opportunity tor the development of new City
blocks. Existing blocks to the north and east have already been fully developed and will remain in
their current buflt form conditions. The new blocks facilitate implementation of the land use

Ct.4.4 Built Form
New build(ngs should be designed to be welcomtng and frfendly to peciestrians. This should be
.. accomplished through features such as front porches, high quallry landscaptng of front yards, large
windaws on the ground floor, and signage of an appropriate character. All architectural design
must be of a high quality: Methadologies that tnciude various design elements for reducing the
bulk of a building's appearance should be developed as part of the arch(tedural design. Enhanced
(lankage elevaHons wll� be requ(red for camer lots. The materiais, roo0ines, design elements and
details of new buildings should harmonize with the theme o( a wate�front village pheme to be
determtned during Parf 2 of the Uverpool Road South Area Detafled RevlewJ.
Buildings will generally be located belween 3.0 metms and 4.5 metres from the Gont property Iine
to create enclosure of the street. Generally, as-of-right building height for new development along
publ(c streets south of Mnland will be 3-storeys, or i t metres.
C1.4.5 Livemooi Road Streetsppe
The design of the public righFof-way belween the curb edge and private property is considered to
be critical to the successful development of this area. Special attention will be given to developing
a cohesive streetscape treatment that can be applied to private development and the public realm
thraughout the corridor.
The streetscape treatment wiil include paving material, I(ghtfng, sfgnposts'and street fumiture
(seating, trash receptacles and drinking fountains), which will be located In distind areas adjacent
to the sidewalk for easy pedestrian
access. ,�.
The design of buildings diredly
adjacent to the street wlll be an
(mportant part of the creation oi a
cohesive design theme for the
streets In the area. A continuous
street wail (occasionally interrupted
to maintafn views oF the Bay), is
ideai for this kind of street
treatment.
Buildings along Liverpool Road
shall be butlt close to the street
without too much variadon (n
setbacks. This form will help to
provtde rnntalnment to the street.
Ample fenestratlon on the front face
of buildings will assist (n creating a
safe, Inviting environment along the
street.
Figure E—Build-W Zones .

'Build-to zones' will be established along L(veFpool Road, typiwlly requiring that a minfmum of
8596 of any new building be set back 3.0 metres to 4,5 metres from the (ront propedy line (see
Figure E- Build-to Zones). Porches wlll be allowed in the tront yarcl. Setbacks greater'�an the
build-to (lne will be pertnitted if the result Is a hard-surtaced outdoor seadng area p.e. restaurant
patio), or a publlc rest(ng node along the street.
Bulldings along Liverpool Road must be designed in a manner such that they can accommodate a
range of uses over time. Ground-level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly v(sible, (eature
ample fenestration, be easily accessi6le from the street, feature minimum ceiling hefghts for ground
tloors of 3 metres, and be suitably arranged to accommodate such adivitfes as retail shops, studios,
o�ces and (iving area. These ground-level rooms must be constructed to the appropriate Buflding
and F(re Code standards (or commercial-type uses. Signage for these 'shop�houses' must be
• disr.reetly located and consistent with the architectural theme of the building.
To foster variety and interest along the street, new development should be (reehold tenure, or a
fortn of condomtnium that cannot place restr(ctions on the commercial uses encouraged (or the
area.

C1.4.6 Development within the Waterfront Use and AmeniN Area
Development and use o( lands along the water's edge of Frenchman's Bay must embrace the
marine heritage of the area, and augment the water(ront promenade with public activity areas,
Within the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area, identified on Figure A— Tertfary Plan, a variety of
marine�related adivities will be prominent, including marinas, yacht clubs, marina-supportive
faciii8es, mooring facilities, the watertront promenade and other public actfvity areas such az
publlc piers and public squares.
Ac mentioned previously, additional uses such as residentlal, commercial, retail, and offlce uses,
• could M considered within the Wate�front Use and Amenity Area, provlded that deWiled
develapment proposals incorporate marine�related activities and/or publfc activity areas. for
example, pertnission may be grented for a resWUrent within the area if it includes an outdoor patio
oriented towards the eay and watedront promenade.
All buildings within of near the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area must present prominent building
faces towards the Bay as well as primary access roads. Rookop equipment must be screened, and
outbuildings and refuse areas must not be visible from public areas.

C1.4.7' Fairport Villaxe
The Fairport Village area once featured a var(ety of small commercial operaqons that oHered goods
and services to the local residents. Provided [he character of the area is not affected, it is desirable
to reintroduce this type of activity within the Village on a Iimfted basis.
If a landowner wishes to (ncorpo�ate uses such as tea rooms, crak shops, art studios, and
• professional offlces w(thin a dwelling, site-spec�flc rezon(ng applications will be required. Matters
that will be considered in the review of the appliwtions include: the availabilfty of off- and
on-street park(ng; that minor or no exterior renovations are requfred; and that signage is discretely
accommodated.
Ct.S Parking Strelegies
Creative parking arrangements, not prevfously employed in Pickering, are required for this area.
Opportun(ties for parktng include:
• requiring that all new residential development provide appropriate of(-street parking;
• permitting on-street parking on one side of Liverpool Road north of Wharf Street, on one side of
other streets north of Wharf Street, on both s(des of Liverpool Road south of Wharf Street, and
one side of any new east-west streets south of Whad Street;
• pertnitting commerctal parking lots and off•site parking under long-term leases;
• accepting cash-in-lieu of parking in this area, particularly for the small-scale commerciai �
developments anticipated along Liverpool and in Fafrport Village;
• encoureging Sandy Beach Road as an altemative access route and overflaw parking destlnation;
and
• accommodating event parktng at nearby schools and the GO sWtion.
C1.6 Emironmental Management
. Development proposals within the Node must comply with all relevant resource management
pol(cies of the Pickering O(flcial Plan. The following mattea are of particular interest:
� no development or filHng should be permitted within the Hydro Marsh;
• EnvironmenWl Reports are required for development proposed withtn 120 melres of the Hydro
Marsh wetiand boundary to determine appropriate development Ifmits and edge management
strategtes;
• proposals for bay-fflling should be designed to Improve the environmenWl conditlons along the
shoreline (inciuding flsh habitaU; proposals must be accompanied by extenstve Envfronmental
Impad Statements, and be subject to all relevant approvals;
. additional progress shouid be made on the 'Frenchman's Bay Watershed Management
Strategy' (preliminary report recetved by Council in 1998);
• the impacts of boaNng activities on the natu�al environment shouid be considered in the review
of any new docking facilities; .
. on-going fnitlatives for the restoratlon af Krosno Creek, Hydro Marsh and Frenchman's eay
should be continued; and
• opportunfties to outfit all storm sewers that outlet to Frenchman's Bay with ofUgrit separators

Liverpool Road Waterfront Node �
Development Guidelines
C1J General Description .
The Uverpool Road Waterfront Node is located at the southem tip of the
Bay Ridges Nefghbaurhood. Bay R(dges Ifes on the east side of Frenchman's Bay. Highway 401 is
the neighboufiood's noAhem Nmit, and Lake Ontario is its southem Ifmit.
The Liverpool Road Waterfront Node extends from the lots on the north side of Commerce Street
southerly to Lake Ontario along 6oth sides of Liverpool Road. ' It extends west to include all of the
properties F�ving access to, and exposure to, Frenchman's Bay, including the water lots under the
Bay. The Node includes the h(storic'Village of Fairport'.
Krosno Creek abuts the east edge of the Node. Further east is Alex Robertson Park,
Sandy Beach Road, and the Pickering Nuclear Generating StaUon. To the south ts Lake Ontario.
To the west Iles Frenchman's Bay, and further west is the West Shore Nefghbourhood. To the
north Iles a mixture of old cottage style development, as well as newer 1950's and 1960's
subdivis(on development. A commerctal area serving the Neighbourhood is located about a half a
kilometer to the north at the intersection of Krosno Boulevard and Liverpool Road.
The Node's history (s closely Iinked wilh its water(ront location. Over the years, numerous
marinas, boat storage, and marine service businesses have opereted in the area, and a number
continue to operate. A sewage pumping st�tion operates on the east side of Liverpool Road.
Additionally, the Node o(fero opportunities tor formal and informal recreational activities with
natural ope� space, park areas, and trails.
At the tlme of adoption of these Guidelines, ft was realized that some parts of the area exhibit a
somewhat unkempt, or disused appearance, while others exhibft extreme attentton to deWil, design
and ma(ntenance. Investment and attentton by municipal, other government and non-govemment
organizations, by individuals, and by private landowners, res(dents and bus(ness operatoro, will
hclp poltsh Ihis'dfamond in ihe rough'.
C1.2 GuidtngVfsion—"WaterfronlVillage"
The gufding viston for the entire Node is that of a'Waterfront Village' with a mix of uses that is
open, accessible and (riendly. The Village should be an interest(ng place to Iive, work, and visit.
Recognfzing Frenchman's Bay az a boating tourism area, the Wate�(ront Vlllage will provide
seasonal marina facilittes wilh some opportun(ties for visiting boaters. Additionai la�d-based
recreatlon and tourism opportunities wlll bring visitors from the local area interested fn spending a
few hours to most of a day fn the area. The nature of the Village will be geared toward pedestrian
comfort, including street amenities. �
The character of the Watedront Village will be establtshed by its sertes of small blocks with
Gequent and regular views out to the water. The streets wfll foqn view corridors and act as public
open space. M added benefit of this (orm of development is that from Frenchman's Bay, 1he
Waterfront Village will be permeated by view corcidors, rather than being a cont(nuous wall o(
buildings.. .

A well�conneded networlc of public open space and streets, whfch exhib(t a high Icwel of
streetscape desfgn and quality, further refnforces the cha�ader of the Vlllage. The streets will
provide pedestriao-triendly spaces that are sunny, fnvitlng and sheltered from inclement weather.
• Due to the proximfly of the Bay and the relatively intense marfna uses established in this area, the
endre neighbourhood has been influenced by a"nautical heritage'. The ex(stfng marinas have
provided a(ocal polnt and key charecter-setting element for many years; the contfnuat(on of marina
. uses tn these areas will persist as a key character-setting element of the Village. Accord(ngly, lands
adjacent to the Bay will (eature a yariety of marin�related activitied, publfc amenfties, and a
water(ront promenade meandering alo�g the water's edge.
In additlon to the marine-related activities, the Village will oHer a variety of other uses that provide
opportunities for people to Iive, work, shop and play wfth(n the area. These additional uses
include residentfal development, reWil operaHons like crah stores, boutiques and bookshops, as
well as other uses such as restaurants, art studfos, and oHices.
C1.3 land Use Objectives
The Tertiary Plan (Figure A on page 3) provides additional direction on land uses within the Node.
ObJectives (or each land use are detailed below.
C1.3.1 Naturel Areas and Open Space
Four areas are (ound within this land use: front Slreet City Park; East Spih Beachfront Park; and,
the Hydro Marsh. The two parks are antic(pated to include a mix o( active and passive recreat(onal
areas, as well as vehicle parking within or near the parks. The 'Millenntum Square' — a public
gathering place, ts situated at the foot ot Liverpool Road, adJacent to Beachfront Park.
The Hydro Marsh is an environmentally sensitive wetland in which development is not pertnftled.
Development adjacent to the wetland must be destgned tn a manner, whtch mlligates detrimental
impacts on ihe wetland. The East Spit exhibits the characteristia of a dynamic beach. Public uses
are appropriate on the Spit, as are a Iimited number of use-supportfve buildings (washrooms,
landmarks, canteens, etc.). Vehfcular access to the Fast Spit and Beachfront Park shall be restricted
to emergency vehicles and maintenance eqnipment.
C1.3.2 Established Built Area
This area consists (argely of the historic Village of Fairport. Of interest (s proteding the character of
the historic village while provlding an opportunity for reviWitztng a'village' tundfon by permilHng
such actfvities as tearooms, crak shops, art studios, and offices. The addittonal uses would be
subject to the cons(deration of site-specific rezoning applicatfons.
C1.3.3 Marina Mixed Use
These lands wlll develop (n a manner that creates a high quality built form that is sensitive to views
of the water, prov(des a critical link (or visual and physical public accessibility to the watertront
where appropriate, has an attractive pedestrian scale, and builds upon exisHng neighbourhood
pattems. Detailed streetscape and architedural standards will encouroge a vibrant street life.

The mix'of uses will relate to the area's nauNcal herimge, and consist of mar(nas, yacht clubs,
marina-supportive faciiities, mooring facilitles, publlc open space, residenGal, commercial, recail,
oHice and commun(ty uses.
Ci.3.4 Waterfront Use and Amen(tv Area
The Waterfront Use and /unenity Area is a corcidor stretching approxlmately 40 metres tnland from
the edge of Frenchman's Bay, running (rom the Front Street City Park through the
Marina M(xed Use Area to Liverpool Road. Generally, the area Is reserved (or marinrrelated
activities, includ(ng marinaz, yacht clubs, marina-supportfve facilfties, mooring facilities, the
watedront promenade and other public acHvity areas such as public pfers and public squares.
Addit(onal uses, such az residential, commerclal, retail, and o((ice uses, could be wnsidered within
the 40 metres on a sitrsspecipc basis, provided that detailed development propouls Inrnrporate
marine-related activities and/or public activiry areas.
C1.3.5 Lfveraool Road Corridor
Development along Liverpool Road will achieve a high level of des(gn and architectural quality,
featuring a vibrant pedestrian environment. Over time, the area will otfer a mix of uses including
residential, commercial, retail, and o(Oce, whtch contribute to an inviqng public realm at street
level.

discussion on the 'Wate�front Village' v(sion, and applies the OfRcial Plan's design 'tools' to the
Waterfront Node. This direction Includes such matters as placement of new streets, massing and
sitlng of buildings, and streetscape design. OeWiled design matters, such as a�chitedural Ihemes,
, landscaping, and design of public roads and trafls, are discussed in sedion C1.7 -
'DeWlled Architecturoi and Landscape Guidelines' (to be mmp/eted during Part 2 of the
Uverpool Road South Area Detalled ReviewF
C1.4.1 Vlews and Vistas
Currently, there are open views to Frenchman's Bay from Liverpool Road, south of Wharf Street,
whfch provide a sense of place to the waterfront locatton. Vlews such as these are considered to
be of primary importance to the esWblishment and preservation of a sense of place. These views
create the unique atmosphere oF the area, and help define the vis(on for the Node. To preserve,
enhance and maximize opportunitfes (or views from the area towards Frenchman's eay and
Lake Ontario, is o( primary (mportance and shall be a key consideration in the review of .any
development proposal.
Of utmost (mportance is the need to proted vlews, and (rame view corridors, at frequent intervals
along Liverpooi Road to Frenchman's Bay. The views and vishas conceptualfzed in the following
drawing will help to maintaln this area's Iink to the waterfront as well as protect and enhance
Liverpool Road South's unique sense of place.

C1.4.2 Transrwrtatlon Network
A rnmplete transportatlon network consists ot three primary levels. Roadway surtaces are designed
to accommadate vehicular and bicycle t►afflc, sidewalks are designed to adequatety and safely
accommodate pedesMans, and a trail system provides other critical Iinks In the vicinity.
Roadways
Existing roads shall be mainW(ned fn their existing conflguretion. Considerafion should be given to
creat(ng an attradive bus stop near Liverpool Bridge.
New streets will generally feature an 18-metre rightof-way and will be designed in accordance
with the evolving charecter of the area. The use of rear lanes should be encouraged in new
development so that garage faces and driveway cuts are minlmized along Ltverpool Road. Where
laneways are public, they shall generally be 7.5 metres In w(dth with underground services,
Lfverpool Road shall become Ihe new spine of the proposed public open space network. It will
have on-street pedestrian facilitles of the hfghest quality, Including wide, hard-surfaced walkways,
lighting, seat(ng, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, public art, and signposts.
DeWiled guidelines for road design are included fn section C1.7 —'Detailed Archltectural and
Landscape Guidelines' (fo be rnmp/efed during Part ? of the Uve�poof Road Sonth Arca Detailed
Revfew).
5ldewalks
The principles of continuiry, sa(ery, convenience, handicap accessibility and com(ort will be
employed to create a sidewalk system ihroughout lhe Node. It will be appropriete to have a
sidewalk on both s(des of Liverpool Road with access from the public sidewalks into adjacent
buildings by a minfmum number o( steps. Sireets leading perpendfcular from Liverpool Road to
other parts of the study area may require sidewalks on only one stde of the strc�et. New public
'laneways' may carry such low traf(Ic levels that the lane itself may adequately accommodate
pedestrfan tra(fic.
Waterfront Promenade
The trad(tional land-based public network will be augmented by a weli�fesigned
publicly,accessible pedestrian promenade along the watedront. It will ultimately be continuous
from Commerce Street south to the bridge at Llverpool Road, allowing for public access to the
water(ront. The watertront promenade should be wide and generously proportioned. It will be
pedestrian friendly with Gequent areas tor seating and lookouts, pedestrian-scale lighting and
integrated street fumiture.
Recogntz(ng the �umerous pr(vate ownerships along the Bay's edge, a variety of access options
including ownership, easements and right�of-ways will be required to ach(eve the promenade. In
addition, some fnterim soluttons, which are set back from the water's edge, such as �n-road
portions, may be necessary.

Tratls
Oppartunities to create addidonal off-road trail connections along the edge of Frenchman's Bay to
Alex Robertson Pa�k and along the lake Ontario water(ront should be explored through the revfew
of development applications. In th(s area, parkland dedication should be considered tor trail
connections. Opportunities'to Impiemenf sections of the waterfront promenade should be
pursued.

: C1.4.3 Street and Block Pattem
There are establlshed blak pauems that currently exist along Ltverpool Road north ot Wharf Street.
it is these streets that prov(de the f�amework from whlch an area Is experienced. New s►reets and
access points should contlnue thfs traditional block pattem. Extensfon of the small blocks will
provide addiHonal streec edges, greater permeability within the netghbourhood, and frequent views
to the water.
Appiying the ex(sting block pattem to lands south of Wharf Street wtll create four blocks on each
side of Uverpooi Road. These lands provide areas of opportunity tor the development o( new City
blocks. Existing blocks to the north and east have already been fully developed and will remain in
their current built form conditions. The new blocks faciliWte implementation of the land use
objedives for these areas.

C1.4.4 Built Fortn
New buildings should be des(gned to be welcomfng and friendly to pedestrians. Thts should be
acrnmpllshed through (eatures such as front porches, high quality landscaping ot front yards, large
windows on the ground Ooor, and signage o( an appropriate character. All architectural design
must be of a high qOal(ty. Methodologies that include various deslgn elements for reducing the
bulk of a building'sappearance should 6e developed as part of the architecturel design. Enhanced
flankage elevations will be required tor comer lots. The materials, rooFlines, design elements and
details of �ew buildings should harmonfze with the theme of a waterfront village (theme to be
determined during Part 2 oi the Llverpool Road South Area Detailed Review].
euildings will generally be located between 3.0 metres and 4.5 metres from the front property Iine
to create enclosure of the street. Generally, azof-right building height for new development along
publfc streets south of Mnland will be 3-storeys, or 11 metres.
C1.4.5 Ltverpool Road Streetscape
The design of the public right�of-way between the curb edge and private property is considered ta
be critiql to the successful development of th(s area. Special attention will be given to developing
a cohes(ve streetscape treatment that can be applied to private development and the public realm
throughout the corridor.
The streetscape treatment will include paving material, (ighting, stgnposLs and street (umiture
(seating, trash receptacles and drinking founqins), which will be lowted in distind areas adjacent
to the sidewaik tor easy pedestrian
access, �
The design of bulldings dfredly
adjacent to the street will be an
important part of the creation of a
cohesive desiqn theme tor the
streets in the area. A continuous
street wall (occasionally (ntertupted
to mainfain vlews o( the Bay►, is
tdeal for th(s kind of street
treatment.
Buildings along Liverpool Road
shall be built close to the street
without too much variation in
setbacks. This form will heip to
prov(de contafnment to the street.
Ample (enestration on the front face
ot buildings will assist in creating a
safe, inviting environment along the
street.

'Build-to zones' will be established along Liverpool Road, lypically requir(ng tfiat a mfNmum of
8596 of any new building be aet back 3,0 metres to 4.5 metres from lhe tront property Iine (see
Figure E— Bulld-to Zones). Porches wlll be allowed in the front yard. Setbacks greater than Ihe
bulld-to Itne will be pertnitted if the result is a hard-surfaced outdoor seating area (i.e, reswurant
pado), or a public restlng node along the street.
� euildings along Liverpool Road must be designed In a manner such that they wn accommodate a
range of uses over time. Cround•level rooms at the front of buildings will be highly visible, feature
ample fenestration, be easily accessible from the street, (eature min(mum ceil(ng heights for ground
floors of 3 metres, and be suitably arranged to accommodate such adivities as retail shops, studios,
offices and Iiv(ng area. These ground-level rooms must be rnnstruded to the appropriate Building
and Fire Code sWndards for commercfal-type uses. Signage for these 'shop-houses' must be
� discreetly located and cons(stent with the architectural theme of the buiid(ng.
To foster vartety and interest along the street, new development should be (reehold tenure, or a
form of condominfum that cannot place restrictions on the commercial uses enmureged for the
area.
DeWiled streetscape guidelines are included in section C1.7 —'DeWfled Architectural and
' Landscape Guidelines' (to be completed during Part 2 of the Llverpool Road South Area Detailed
Revlew�
C1.4.6 Development withtn the Water(ront Use and Amenity Area
Development and use of lands along the watets edge of Frenchman's Bay must embrace the
ma�ne heritage of the area, and augment the waterfront promenade with publfc activity areas.
Within the Waterfront Use and Amenity Area, tdentified on Figure A— Tertiary Plan, a variety of
marine-related activities will be prominent, fnciuding marinas, yacht ciubs, mar(na-supportive
facilities, mooring (acilities, the wate�(ront promenade and other publlc activiry areas such as
public p(ers and public squares.
As mentioned previously, additfonal uses such as residential, commercial, retail, and oHice uses,
could be considered within the Watedront Use and Amenity Area, provided that detailed
development proposals inrnrporate marine�related activittes and/or public activity areas. For
example, pertn(ssion may be granted tor a restaurant withfn the area if it includes an outdoor patio
or(ented towards lhe Bay and waterfronl promenade.
All bufldings within of near the Watertront Use and Amenity Area must present prominent building
faces towards the Bay as well as primary access roads. Rooftop equipment must be screened, and
outbuildings and retuse areas must not be visible from publfc areas.

C1.4J Fairport Village
� The Falrport Village area once featured a va8ety of small commercial operations that oHered goods
and services to the local residenb. Provided the charader of the area fs not affected, it Is desirabie
ro refntroduce this rype of act(vity within the Wllage on a Iimited bas(s.
If a landowner wtshes to fncorporate uses such as tea rooms, crak shops, art studios, and
professional of(lces within a dwelling, s(te-specific rezoning applicat(ons will be required. Matters
that will be cons(dered in the review of the applications include: the ava(labillry of oH- and
on-street parking; that mfnor or no exterior renovatfons are required; and that s(gnage is dfscretely
accommodated.
C1.5 Parking Stralegies
� Creative parking arrangements, not previously employed in Pickering, are required tor thfs area.
Opportunities for parking include:
• requiring that ail new residential development provide appropriate off-strect parking;
• permitting on-street parking on one side of Liverpool Road north of Wharf Street, on one side of
other streets north of Wharf Street, on both sides of Liverpool Road sauth of Wharf Street, and
one side of any new east-west streets south of Wharf Streeh,
• permitting commercial parking lots and o(f-site parking under long-term leases;
• accepting cash-in•Ileu of parking in this area, particularly for the small•scale commercial
developments anticipated along Lfverpool and in Fairport Village;
• encouraging Sandy Beach Road as an altematfve access route and over(low parking destination;
and
• accommodating event parking at nearby schools and the GO station.
C1.6 Environmental Managemenl
Development proposals within the Node must comply with all relevant resource management
policies of the Picker(ng Official Plan. The following matters are of particular Interest:
. no development or fllling should be permitted withtn the Hydro Marsh;
. Envlronmenwl Reports are required for development proposed within 120 metres of the Hydro
Marsh wetland boundary to detertnine appropriate development limits and edge management
strategies;
• proposals for bayfilling should be designed to (mprove the environmenWl conditions along the
shoreline (including fish habitat); proposals must be accompanied by extensive Environmental
Impact Statements, and be s�bject to all relevant approvals;
• additional progress should be made on the 'frenchman's Bay Watershed Management
Strategy' (prellminary report received by Council in 1998);
• the impacts of boating adivities on the natural environment should be considered in the review
of any new docking facilities;
• omgofng initiatives for the restoration o( Krosno Creek, Hydro Marsh and Frenchman's Bay
� should be contfnued; and
• opportunit(es to auHit all stortn sewers that outlet to Frenchman's Bay witfi olUgrit separetors
should be pursued.
