Background The subject lands are located at Pine Grove and Woodview Avenue in the City of Pickering. It is our understanding that the applicant is requesting permission to amend the zoning by-law in order to permit a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres. This proposal will connect both the north and south portion of Rockwood Drive. Site Specific Comments TRCA staff has reviewed the zoning amendment application and have determined that proposal does not appear to affect any of TRCA's programs or policies. Further, the subject property is not located within a Regulated Area pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (TRCA Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses). Recommendations In light of the comments above, we have no objections to the approval of zoning amendment Al 1/08. We trust that this is of assistance.
