Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide information on a City initiated official plan amendment application. This report contains background information on the current Official Plan and the purpose of the proposed amendment. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. The Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification, and identify any planning matters. This report is to be received, 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 review of the comments received and revisions to the amendment where appropriate. 2. Background The approval of Regional Official Plan Amendment No.128, the Region’s Growth Plan Conformity exercise for the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006), provided the policy foundation for the City to initiate a Growth Strategy Program, as part of the Pickering Official Plan comprehensive review process, to bring the Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan and the Regional Official Plan . The City's Growth Strategy consists of two components: the City Centre Intensification Study, which concluded with new Official Plan policies, urban design guidelines and zoning; and the South Pickering Intensification Study focusing on intensification outside the City Centre. Phase 1 of the of the South Pickering Intensification Study began in January 2015 with a community engagement exercise regarding where and to what extent growth should occur in South Pickering. In March 2016, Report PLN 04 -16 was presented to Council which outlined the results of Phase 1 of the study and offered direction for moving forward with Phase 2 of the study, focusing on the Kingston Road Corridor. Information Report No. 13-20 Page 2 In October 2017, City Council approved the proposal submitted by SvN Architects + Planners Inc., in association with AECOM and 360 Collective, to undertake an Intensification Study for the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node (see Map of Intensification Areas, Attachment #1, immediately following the text of this Report). The study was undertaken over a period of approximately 2 years through a highly collaborative process involving City staff, public agencies, key stakeholders and members of the public, and concluded on December 16, 2019, with the endorsement in principle of the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan and draft Urban Design Guidelines by City Council (refer to Report PLN 26-19). Further, Council authorized staff to initiate an Official Plan Amendment to implement the vision and Intensification Plan for the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node. Accordingly, City staff are bringing forward proposed Official Plan Amendment 38 and the associated proposed Informational Revision 26. A number of privately-initiated development applications have been submitted for properties within the Intensification Areas. Active applications for which Council has not yet made a decision are shown on Attachment #2, immediately following the text of this Report). Until such time as the City Initiated Official Plan Amendment is in effect, all privately-initiated development applications are being assessed against the framework and policy recommendations of the Intensification Plan and the design priorities of the Draft Urban Design Guidelines. 3. Lands Affected by the Official Plan Amendment This amendment applies to lands generally located along the Kingston Road Corridor, excluding the City Centre, and to lands within the Specialty Retailing Node, east of Brock Road, north of Highway 401, and south of Kingston Road as detailed on Attachment #1. The subject lands comprise approximately 152 hectares. Surrounding land uses include: North: primarily established low and medium density residential neighbourhoods East: established low and medium density residential, and light industrial uses along Notion Road South: Highway 401 West: Rouge National Urban Park and the City of Toronto 4. Proposed Amendment Appendix I is the Proposed Amendment 38 to the City of Pickering Official Plan. It proposes new policies and mapping for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and the Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas, and revisions to existing policies and mapping, to implement the Council-endorsed Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan. More specifically, key proposed amendments to the Official Plan include:  Adding new population and job targets for the year 2041 for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas in Chapter 2 – South Pickering Urban Area in Part 1 of the Plan; Information Report No. 13-20 Page 3  Revising the Mixed Use Areas policies in Chapter 3 – Land Use in Part 2 of the Plan, including:  Deleting the policies pertaining to the “Specialty Retailing Node” designation;  Revising Table 4: Relationship Between Regional Official Plan and Pickering Official Plan Mixed Use Areas;  Revising Table 5: Mixed Use Areas: Permissible Uses by Subcategory;  Revising Table 6: Mixed Use Areas: Densities and Floor Areas by Subcategory;  Revising Schedule I – Land Use Structure, to replace the “Specialty Retailing Node” designation with a “Brock Mixed Node” designation (refer to Schedule "A" to the Draft Proposed Amendment 38 to the Pickering Official Plan).  Adding a new Chapter 11A – Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Area and associated detailed policies for the areas on matters including:  Placemaking  Gateways  Precinct Specific Policies  Cultural Heritage  Sustainability and Climate Resiliency  General land use policies  New land use designations (Mixed Use A, Mixed Use B, Mixed Use C, Residential, Community Use, Natural Areas, Public Parks)  Built Form, Building Heights and Transition  Public Realm  Mobility (Pedestrian and Cycling Network, Transit, Streets, Parking)  Servicing  Stormwater Management  Implementation and Transition  Adding a new Schedule XIV Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas with land use designations for the Intensification Areas 5. Informational Revision Appendix II is the proposed Informational Revision 26 (Proposed Revision) to the Pickering Official Plan. The purpose of the Proposed Revision is to update the informational text contained within the Pickering Official Plan about the policies introduced as part of the Official Plan Amendment to implement the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan. The Proposed Revision also includes updates to the relevant neighbourhood descriptions and maps (Rougemount, Woodlands, Dunbarton, Liverpool, and Village East) in Chapter 12 Urban Neighbourhoods, Part 3 of the Official Plan. 6. Development Guidelines It is intended that the following redundant development guidelines within the Intensification Areas, contained in the Compendium document to the Pickering Official Plan, would be repealed when staff bring forward the recommended Official Plan Amendment and Information Revision: Information Report No. 13-20 Page 4  Kingston Road Corridor Development Guidelines  Northeast Quadrant Development Guidelines  Specialty Retailing Node Development Guidelines  Walnut Lane Area Development Guidelines  Town Centre West Development Guidelines These would be replaced by new design-related policies in the proposed new Chapter 11A and the finalized Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Urban Design Guidelines. 7. Policy Framework 7.1 Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and A Place to Grow (2019) The Provincial Policy Statement directs growth (intensification) and development to settlement areas and promotes efficient, transit-supportive development patterns that “optimize the use of land, resources and public investment in infrastructure and public service facilities”, and “promote a mix of housing, including affordable housing, employment, recreation, parks and open spaces, and transportation choices that increase the use of active transportation and transit before other modes of travel.” A Place to Grow directs where and how growth should occur in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Plan prioritizes intensification and higher densities in strategic growth areas, which includes locally-identified nodes and corridors, arterials, and planned frequent transit areas, to make efficient use of land and infrastructure and support transit viability. A Place to Grow supports the achievement of complete communities that:  feature a diverse mix of land uses, including residential and employment uses, and convenient access to local stores, services, and public service facilities;  improve social equity and overall quality of life, including human health, for people of all ages, abilities, and incomes;  provide a diverse range and mix of housing options, including additional residential units and affordable housing, to accommodate people at all stages of life, and to accommodate the needs of all household sizes and incomes;  expand convenient access to:  a range of transportation options, including options for the safe, comfortable and convenient use of active transportation;  public service facilities, co-located and integrated in community hubs;  an appropriate supply of safe, publicly-accessible open spaces, parks, trails, and other recreational facilities; and  healthy, local, and affordable food options, including through urban agriculture;  provide for a more compact built form and a vibrant public realm , including public open spaces;  mitigate and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate, improve resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to environmental sustainability; and  integrate green infrastructure and appropriate low impact development. Information Report No. 13-20 Page 5 7.2 Durham Regional Official Plan The majority of subject lands are designated as “Living Areas” with a “Regional Corridor” overlay in the Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP). Natural Areas are designated as “Major Open Space”. Kingston Road is identified as a Rapid Transit Spine with some of the major north-south intersecting roads identified as High Frequency Transit Networks. High Frequency Transit Networks consist of buses in planned High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, or buses in mixed traffic, with transit signal priority at major intersections and other measures to ensure fast and reliable transit service. Planned HOV lanes may be converted to dedicated bus lanes as growth in ridership warrants. Living Areas shall be developed to incorporate the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio-economic factors. These areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads and with particular consideration for supporting and providing access to public transit. In addition to residential uses, office development and limited retailing of goods and services, in appropriate locations, as components of mixed-use developments are permitted within Living Areas. In Corridor locations, major retail uses and major office uses are also permitted. Regional Corridors are recognized and identified as key focus areas for intensification. Regional Corridors shall be planned and developed in accordance with the underlying land use designation, as people-oriented places that are accessible by public transit and an extensive pedestrian network, including civic squares, parks and walkways. Corridors shall generally be developed to promote public transit ridership through well designed development, having a mix of uses at higher densities. Regional Corridors are intended to support an overall, long-term density target of at least 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index (FSI) of 2.5, with a wide variety of building forms, generally mid-rise in height, with some higher buildings, as detailed in municipal official plans. The ROP supports and promotes rejuvenation, development and renewal within Regional Corridors. Restoration of the historic integration of the shopping function with th e other traditional functions, such as housing, employment, recreation, social activities and cu ltural facilities is supported. Kingston Road is identified in the ROP as one of the most significant transit corridors within the Region which should be developed to its fullest potential. Development along Transit Spines and High Frequency Transit Networks shall provide for complementary higher density and mixed uses at an appropriate scale and context, buildings oriented towards the street to reduce walking distances, and facilities which support non-auto modes of transportation, limited surface parking, and the potential redevelopment of surface parking. 7.3 Pickering Official Plan Schedule I: Land Use Structure to the Pickering Official Plan designates the subject lands as “Mixed Use Areas”, and “Open Space System – Natural Areas”:  the “Mixed Use Areas” designation is further subcategorized into “Mixed Corridor” (along Kingston Road) and “Specialty Retailing Node” (the big box retail district east of Brock Road, south of Kingston Road and north of Highway 401); Information Report No. 13-20 Page 6  the “Open Space System – Natural Areas” designation is limited to various creeks/stream corridors along Kingston Road, including Petticoat Creek, Amberlea Creek and Pine Creek; Schedule II: Transportation Systems to the Pickering Official Plan designates the roads inside or partially inside the subject area as follows:  “Type A Arterial Roads” and “Transit Spine” – Whites Road and Brock Road  “Type B Arterial Roads” and “Transit Spine” – Kingston Road  “Type B Arterial Roads” – Altona Road  “Type C Arterial Roads” – Pickering Parkway, Rosebank Road, Fairport Road and Dixie Road while the remaining roads connecting to the Corridor and the Node consist of either “Collector Roads” or “Local Roads”. Schedule III: Resource Management to the Pickering Official Plan designates natural areas, predominantly creeks and valleylands, along Kingston Road, as “Shorelines, Significant Valley Lands and Stream Corridors” and “Natural Heritage System” with key natural heritage features, including significant woodlands and permanent and intermittent streams identified throughout. Most of the lands are also identified as “High Aquifer Vulnerability Areas”. As the current land use designations and certain associated policies are not consistent with the Council endorsed Intensification Plan and the new vision for the Corridor and Node, and the most recent provincial policy framework, staff is proposing certain amendments to the Official Plan, schedules, informational text and mapping, as discussed in Section s 4 and 5 of this report. 8. Additional Outstanding Implementation Matters The following sections address key outstanding implementation matters that will be addressed at a later date: 8.1 Cultural Heritage The Provincial Policy Statement and A Place to Grow require that cultural heritage resources be conserved in order to foster a sense of place and benefit communities, particularly in Strategic Growth Areas. The Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan identified one designated heritage building, The Post Manor, located at the north west corner of Brock Road and Kingston Road, as well as four properties of heritage interest:  301 Kingston Road;  401 Kingston Road;  1 Evelyn Avenue; and  882 Kingston Road (St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Anglican Church). Information Report No. 13-20 Page 7 Accordingly, the City retained Branch Architecture to undertake a review of the identified properties of potential significance. The Consultant’s Report will be brought forward to a Heritage Committee Meeting this Fall. Any recommendations from the Heritage Committee and Council will be considered and changes will be incorporated, as appropriate, into the final recommended Official Plan Amendment that will be brought forward to Committee and Council. 8.2 Zoning By-law Amendment The subject lands within the Intensification Areas are covered by Zoning By-law 3036. City staff will be bringing forward a draft zoning by-law amendment for the Intensification Areas at a future date, following consultation on proposed Official Plan Amendment 38, in order to reflect any revised policy directions. This Zoning By-law Amendment will contain more prescriptive, site-specific regulations around matters such as height, parking, and setbacks. Staff are also working to ensure alignment with the Comprehensive Zoning By-law Update exercise that is also currently underway. 8.3 Draft Urban Design Guidelines The Council endorsed Draft Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Urban Design Guidelines will be reviewed and updated to ensure alignment with the final recommended Official Plan Amendment 38. The recommended final urban design guidelines will be brought forward for endorsement by Committee and Council at the same time as the recommended Official Plan Amendment 38. 8.4 Provincial Plan Conformity Notwithstanding the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Pickering Official Plan, all decisions of Council regarding planning matters must conform to or not conflict with the Provincial Policy Statement and Provincial Plans that are in effect at the time of consideration of the applications. The Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Study, which led to the Council-endorsed Intensification Plan, was undertaken under the provincial policy framework of the Growth Plan, 2006. However, in accordance with the requirement for all planning decisions to conform with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and A Place to Grow, 2019, proposed Official Plan Amendment 38 is considered to also conform with these newest policies. 8.5 Municipal Comprehensive Review of the Durham Regional Official Plan (Envision Durham) It should be noted that the Region of Durham is currently undertaking a Municipal Comprehensive Review of the Durham Regional Official Plan, including a Growth Management exercise, to update policies and implement the most recent Provincial Policy Statement and Provincial Plans. City Development staff are working closely with the Region to ensure alignment with proposed new directions. However, further changes to the policies for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas may be required following the completion of Envision Durham and adoption of new Regional Official Plan policies. These would be considered through a subsequent City Initiated Amendment or as part of a comprehensive update to the Pickering Official Plan. Information Report No. 13-20 Page 8 9. Consultation The proposed amendment was prepared in consultation with staff from the Engineering Services Department (in particular with regard to stormwater management and transportation matters). The proposed amendment has been circulated to the Region of Durham, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and other prescribed agencies for their comment. City Development staff will collaborate with the City’s Community Services Department to determine the types of recreational and community uses that may be needed in relation to the intensification of the Corridor and Node, and with the City’s Economic Development and Strategic Initiatives Department on steps or initiatives to stimulate economic growth and vitality within the intensification areas, including business retention and expansion needs. In addition, notice of the electronic open house and public meeting was posted on the City's website and sent out to landowners within the Corridor and Node and within 150 metres of the Corridor and Node, as well as Interested Parties from the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study that concluded in December 2019. An advertisement of the electronic open house and public meeting is scheduled to appear in the local newspaper for 2 consecutive weeks on October 8, 2020 and October 15, 2020. An electronic open house is also scheduled for October 22, 2020. Since the writing of this report predates public notification, an overview of comments received will be presented by staff at the public information meeting on November 2, 2020. 10. Procedural 10.1 General Public Participation  written comments regarding this proposal should be directed to the City Development Department;  oral comments may be made at the Electronic Statutory Public Meeting;  all comments received will be noted and used as input to a Planning Report prepared by the City Development Department for a subsequent meeting of Council or a Committee of Council;  any member of the public who wishes to reserve the option to appeal Council’s decision must provide comments to the City before Council adopts any by-law for this proposal; and  any member of the public who wishes to be notified of Council’s decision regarding this proposal must request such in writing to the City Clerk. 10.2 Official Plan Amendment Approval Authority  the Region of Durham may exempt certain local official plan amendments from Regional approval if such application is determined to be locally significant, and do not exhibit matters of Regional and/or Provincial interest; and  the Region has not yet advised whether or not the amendment will be exempted from Regional approval. Information Report No. 13-20 Page 9 11. Next Steps Following the public meeting, all comments received either through the public meeting or through written submissions, will be considered by Planning staff in its review and analysis of the proposed amendment. At such time as input from the public, agencies and departments have been received and assessed, a recommendation report will be brought forward to the Planning & Development Committee for consideration.

Basis: The Provincial Policy Statement and A Place to Grow, provide strong direction for increased intensification and planning for complete communities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region. These policies support planning for intensification within the existing built-up area and transit-supportive development in proximity to frequent public transit. Kingston Road Corridor and the Specialty Retailing Node have been identified as Strategic Growth Areas within the City of Pickering. The approval of Regional Official Plan Amendment No.128, the Region of Durham’s Growth Plan (2006) conformity exercise, provided the policy foundation for the City to retain consultants to prep are its planning and urban design study for the redevelopment and intensification of the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node. Following an extensive consultation program involving stakeholders and the public, a report entitled “Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan” was endorsed in principle by City Council on December 16, 2019. Staff was authorized to implement the new vision and land use framework set out in the Intensification Plan, by initiating this Official Plan Amendment. This amendment brings the Pickering Official Plan into further conformity with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, A Place to Grow, 2019, and the Durham Regional Official Plan.
