1. Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information regarding applications for a
Zoning By-law Amendment and Request for Red-Line Revision of Draft Approved Plan of
Subdivision SP-2008-11(R), submitted by 1133373 Ontario Limited and Lebovic Enterprises
Limited, to facilitate revisions to an approved draft plan of subdivision and rezone a
remnant block of land at 1255 Whitevale Road for Community Node uses. This report
contains general information on the applicable Official Plan and other related policies, and
identifies matters raised to date.
This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to
understand the applicants proposal. The Planning & Development Committee will hear
public delegations on the applications, ask questions of clarification, and identify any
planning issues. This report is for information and no decision is to be made at this time.
Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning &
Development Committee upon completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal.
2. Property Location and Description
The subject lands are generally located north of Taunton Road and south of Whitevale Road, on
both the east and west sides of Sideline 22 and Sideline 24 within the Wilson Meadows and
Lamoreaux Neighbourhoods, which are part of the Seaton Community (see Location Map,
Attachment #1). The lands covered by draft plan of subdivision SP-2008-11(R) have a land
area of approximately 53 hectares. The remnant parcel located at 1255 Whitevale Road
has an area of approximately 0.8 of a hectare.
For the lands subject to the Red-Line Revision of Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision
SP-2008-11(R), the lands are currently used for field crops while the remaining lands are
natural open space. There are no buildings or structures on the subject lands. The
surrounding lands are all owned by the Province and are designated Seaton Natural
Heritage System.
Information Report No. 03-17

For the remnant parcel, the lands currentiy support a detached dwelling. The surrounding
land uses include:
North: across Whitevale Road are additional lands owned by the applicant that
� have received draft approval for Plan of Subdivision SP-2008-12 and
were rezoned to implement the draft plan; the lands are currently used
for agricultural activities and open space, and are proposed to be used'
for a stormwater management facility
East and West: lands owned by the applicant that are approved for the development of a
Community Node block in draft approved plan of subdivision SP-2008-12
South: lands owned by the applicant that are approved for the development of
townhouse dwellings in draft approved plan of subdivision SP-2008-12
3. Applicant's Proposal
The original plan of subdivision SP-2008-11 was draft approved by the Ontario Municipal
Board (OMB) in December 2013. The related zoning that implements the subdivision, being
the Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14, was confirmed by the Province through an Order in
Council in March 2014.
Since these approvals, the landowner has commenced detailed engineering design for the
draft plan of subdivision. The existing topography is challenging and altering the proposed
grading to a more workable design resulted in modifications to roads and lotting fabric of
the approved draft plan of subdivision. The majority of the draft plan of subdivision and
zoning remains unchanged as the revisions mostly affect the area in the central portion of
the draft plan, west of Sideline 22. The overall lot yield and land uses are consistent with
the approved draft plan (see Submitted Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #2).
The other part of the application is to amend the zoning by-law for a remnant parcel of land
in the Community Node block. This parcel, municipally know as 1255 Whitevale Road, is
designated Mixed Use Areas — Community Node by the Pickering Official Plan. These
lands were not owned by any of the Seaton Landowners Group and were not zoned as part
of the Seaton Zoning By-law. Now that these lands have been acquired by Lebovic
Enterprises Limited, who control the abutting lands zoned Community Node, the applicant
is requesting the lands be rezoned to Community Node to ensure the lands can be
developed in a comprehensive fashion in the future (see Submitted Plan — 1255 Whitevale
Road, Attachment #3).
4. Policy Framework
4.1 Central Pickering Development Plan
The Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) sets out the principles and goals that
outline the general development vision for the overall Seaton Urban Area, including the
integration of new sustainabte urban development while ensuring the protection,
maintenance, and enhancement of the natural heritage system. The objectives and
policies of the CPDP are designed to achieve the vision of Seaton. The subject
applications conform to the intent of the CPDP.
Information Report No. 03-17 Page 3
4.2 Regional Official Plan
The Seaton Community falls under `Special Policy Area A(Pickering)', in the Durham
Regional Official Plan. These lands shall be developed in accordance with the CPDP and
implementing Neighbourhood Plans. The design, structure, and uses proposed in the
subject applications are consistent with those permitted in the CPDP and the
Neighbourhood Plans. The applications comply with the Durham Regional Official Plan.
4.3 Pickering Official Plan
The subject lands are within the Seaton Urban Area Boundary in the Pickering Official Plan.
The Official Plan contains policies governing various land use designations, such as
Residential Areas, Mixed Use Areas, and Open Space Systems, all of which are located in
the subject lands. The Official Plan establishes various policies for such matters as
density, intensity of land use, and sustainability. Official Plan Amendment 22 further
defines the land use designations as well as establishes policies for such matters as the
Seaton Natural Heritage System, cultural heritage, sustainable development, servicing, and
urban design. The applications comply with the policies and provisions of the Pickering
Official Plan.
4.4 Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14
Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14 implements the City's Official Plan Amendment 22, which
brought the Official Plan into conformity with the Central Pickering Development Plan.
A zoning by-law amendment is required to implement the proposed red-line revisions to the
approved draft plan of subdivision. The applicant is only proposing amendments to the
zoning schedules modifying certain zoning boundaries. No changes are proposed to the
zoning categories or performance standards. The proposed rezoning is only for lands in
the central area of the draft plan located west of Sideline 22. Zoning for the remaining
lands within the draft plan remain unchanged.
The zoning amendment for the parcel of land at 1255 Whitevale Road is to remove the
"A" — Agricultural Zone in Zoning By-law 3037 and rezone the parcel as "CN" — Community Node
in Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14.
