Dhanda, on lands being Lot 15, Plan 40M-1637, City of Pickering, to amend the zoning of the lands to permit the establishment of a second dwelling unit within the existing dwelling on the subject property, be APPROVED subject to the conditions outlined in Appendix I to Report Number PD 09-02; and; That the amending zoning by-law to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/01, as set out in draft in Appendix II to Report Number PD 09-02, be forwarded to City Council for enactment. ORIGiN: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/01 submitted to the City of Pickering. AUTHORITY: The Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13 FiNANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The subject property is located on the west side of Cottonwood Circle, north of Linwood Street and currently supports a detached dwelling (see Attachment #1 - Location Map). The subject lands are currently zoned "SI" - Detached Residential Zone, which permits the establishment of one dwelling unit per lot. The applicant has requested an amendment to the existing zoning by-law to permit the establishment of a second dwelling unit within the basement of the existing dwelling. The applicant's proposal to add a second dwelling unit can be accommodated within the existing dwelling and will be difficult to detect from the exterior of the dwelling. The additional parking that may be generated by the second dwelling unit can be accommodated on the existing property. Accordingly, staff recommend that Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/01 be approved, and that Council adopt the draft implementing by-law attached as Appendix II to Report Number PD 09-02. Report to Council PD 09-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/01 Date: JanualT..o, ?00'') Page 2 BACKGROUND: 1.0 Information Mcetin,,z A Public In£ormation meeting was held on December 20, 2001, to discuss the applicant's proposal, hd-brmation Report No. 31-01, which summarizes the applicant's proposal and outlines the issues identified through circulation of the application, was prepared for the meeting. Thc text of the Inlbrmation Report is provided for reference (see Attachment #2). At thc Public information Meeting, Planning staff gave an explanation of the application. No members of the public were in attendance at the meeting. XIinutes of the meeting are included as Attachment 2.0 Additional Information Since thc preparation of Information Report No. 31-0 l. no additional comments have been received. 3.0 Discussion City Wide Zoning Review of Two-Unit Houses Thc Planning & Development Department will be revievcing potential amendments to tile City's Zoning By-laws itl 2002, to allow tile introdttction of second dwelling units as of right within certain housing types in tile City of Picketing. However, until such time as this review is complete it is appropriate that individual zoning amendments for second dwelling units be considered on their own merits. Approval of this application will not prejudice thc City's future review process. 3.2 Visual Impact and Neighbourhood Character The introduction of second dwelling units within existing dv,'ellings and their impact on the established streetscape must be reviexved to ensure that the exiting dwelling continues to appear as one dwelling. Planning & Developt:2cnt Staff have visited the site and observed that a beloxv-grade basement entrance has been installed on the south side of the existing dwelling. The below-grade entrance to the basement is the only exterior visual indication of the existence of a second dwelling within the existing dwelling. The Department is satisfied that the existing dwelling wilt continue to appear as one home. It is recommended that this application be approved as the visual character of the neighbourhood is maintained. 3.3 Vehicle Parking Provisions for a Second Unit The zoning bv-law tbr thc subject property cum'cntlv requires the provision of a minimum of two parking spaces, one in the attached garage and another in the driveway. The introduction of a second dwelling unit is likely to increase the on-site parking demand. Thc City has considered and approved sin:ilar applications for second dwelling units v¢ithir~ existing dwellings. The approvals lbr thc. previous applications included a requirement that a minimum of three parking spaces be provided on-site. The Planning & Development Department has conducted a site visit of the subject property and have determined that the existing two-car garage and double driveway can accommodate a minimun~ of four parking spaces on-site. The draft by-law attached as Appendix II to Report Number 09-02 requires the subject property to provide a minimum of three parking spaces when a secoi2d dwelling unit is located within the existing dwelling. Report to Council PD 09-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/01 Date: January 23, 2002 Page 3 4.0 It should be noted that no area resident comments were received respecting the application, in response to the circulation notice. Further, no area residents attended the public information meeting held respecting this application. It is recommended that Council adopt the draft implementing by-law for Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/01, attached as Appendix 1I to Report Number PD 09-02. Applicant's Comments The applicant has reviewed the content of this Report and draft by-law, and concurs with the contents. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Property Location Map 2. Information Report 3.

ORIGIN: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 28/01 submitted to the City of Pickering. AUTHORITY: The Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P. 13 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS' No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The subject property is located on the south-east comer of Kingston Road and Valley Farm Road and is currently draft approved for the development of 72 townhouse units, 46 single or semi-detached units and bet~veen 324 and 476 apartment units (see Attachment #1 - Location Map and Attachment #2 - Applicant's Submitted Plan). Cougs (Valleyfarm) Limited proposes to amend the existing zoning provisions respecting required minimum building heights for the detached, semi-detached and townhouse units. The applicant is proposing to reduce the required minimum building height from 8.5 metres to 6.5 metres while maintaining the two-storey minimum building height requirement. In addition, the applicant has included a request with this application to add additional rear yard deck encroachment provisions for the units that will have walkout conditions due to on-site grading. Report to Council PD 12-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 28.01 Date: January 30, 2002 Page 2 031 The Planning & Development Department supporls the proposed amendments as the requested amendments to the minimum heights and additional deck provisions do not negatively impact thc intended goals of the original zoning bx'-l'axx. Thc proposed reduction in the required minimum building height tkom 8.5 metres to 0.5 metres while maintaining the two-storey minimuna building height requirement is lbr unit~ that are primarily located internal to the site. The development, when completed, will maintain the dcsirect massing in the Downtown Core through the construction of the three-storey toxvnhomcs fl'ontin~ Valley Farm Road and through the future construction of the apa~ment buildings. In addition, the proposed deck height and encroachment provisions are suppo~xcd as this is a unique situation within a limited area of the subdivision and does not negatively cflbct any abutting developments. It is reCOlnmended that Council approve Zoning Bx-laxv Anlendment Application A 28,01. and that the drati amending zonin,,= bv-laxv set out in Appendix I to Report Number PD 1_-0_, be tbrwarded to City Council lbr enactment. BACKGROUND: 1.0 Inik)rmation Meetintz A Public Intbm~ation meeting x~as held on January 1-. 2()()2, to discuss the applicant's proposal. Inlbnnation Report N () m {)2-02, which SLiI~Ia~LII-iZCS the applicant's proposal and outlines tine issues identified ttnrou~h circulation of the application, xxas prepared for the meeting. The text of thc lnlbrmation Report is prox idcd tbr reference (see Attachment ~3). At thc Public In£ormation Nleetin~, Planning staff gaxe an explanation of the application. Minutes of the meeting arc included as Attachment =4. 2.0 Additional Information Since the preparation of lnfon~uation Report No. (_ 2-02, tile tblloxving comments have been received. Veridian Connections and Toronto and Region Conserxation Authority have advised that they have no objections to the proposed amendments. 3.0 Discussion 3.1 Proposed Reduction in Minimum Required Buildin~ Heights The current by-law requires a minimunl building hci,.z, ht of ,'4.5 metres and two storeys, which is intended to ensure that the built Ibrm of this site xxould create a prominent building massing within the City's Dox~ntoxx n Core. Tiao applicant'4 request to reduce tine ininimum building height /Yom 8.5 metres to 0.5 metres, while rctaii~i~a~ tho minimun~ two-storey building height requirement, applies to a naajorit> of thc grade related units that arc primarily located internal to tt~c subject development. The proposed three-storey townhouse units (to bo constructed on Blocks 24 & 25 on the applicant's submitted plan) arc not subject to this proposed height reduction. Tile Planning & Development Department is satisfied that the intent oF the original zoning by-law is being maintained as the desired massing tk>r the Doxvnloxvn Core will still be attained around the periphery of ttne subject property' xvith the construction of the three-storey townhouse units I'rontillg onto Valley Farm Road (Blocks 24 & 25 on the applicant's submitted plan) and with tine future construction of tile apartment block (Block 36 on the applicant's submitted plan). Report to Council PD 12-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Ainendment Application A 28/01 Date: January 30, 2002 Page 3 In addition, the Planning & Development Department is continuing discussions with the applicant regarding the architectural treatments for the end unit of Block 31, which abuts Valley Farm Road, with the intent to provide additional architectural elements that may provide additional massing to Valley Farm Road. The applicant is required by the subdivision agreement to produce an architectural design statement with details of the models to the satisfaction of the Director, Planning & Development. It is through this process that staff will ensure that the flankage elevation for the end unit of Block 31 abutting Valley Farm Road will provide upgraded architectural elements to provide additional massing. 3.2 Deck Encroachment Request The applicant has requested an amendment to the "S-SD-3" Zone category, (specifically lots 1 to 12 on the applicant's submitted plan - See Attachment #2) to permit the erection of rear yard decks, not exceeding 4.4 metres in height, to encroach a maximum of 2.5 metres into the required rear yard. The current by-law permits decks to encroach up to 1.5 metres into the required rear yard provided the height of the deck does not exceed 1.5 metres in height. The applicant has requested the amendment to the height and encroachment restriction since the required grading of these lots will result in the creation of "basement walkout" conditions in the rear yards. Thus, a rear yard deck serving the first floor (finished ground floor) could be up to 4.4 metres above grade, (see Proposed Deck Design - Attachment #5) and would not comply with the current zoning by-laxv. The applicant's request to permit a 2.5-metre deck encroachment into the required rear yard is larger than the City's standard by-law provision for deck encroachments. Most by-laws permit decks to project up to 1.5 metres into the required rear yard, which results in decks of a sufficient size to accommodate typical outdoor furniture (i.e. deck chairs and\or barbeque). The proposed increase in the deck encroachment would not be supported, due to privacy issues, if the lots with these larger decks abutted residential development having similar lot sizes. However, the lots affected by this amendment primarily abut a hydro corridor and the Recreation Complex, and are set apart from the other lots within the subdivision. The proposed amendments are a unique situation and do not appear to present any negative impacts. 3.3 Recommended Zoning By-law Provisions The draft by-law attached as Appendix I to Report Number 12-02 has been prepared to amend the existing by-law (No. 5891/01). The draft by-law provides text amendments to address the reduction in the minimum building heights from 8.5 metres to 6.5 metres tbr the "S-SD-Y', "SA-9" and "SA-10" zone categories, which represent the majority of the grade related dwelling units, save and except the three-storey townhouse blocks fronting Valley Farm Road that are designated "SA-8" and are not subject of this application. The schedule attached to the draft by-law includes cross hatching to identify the lots, designated "S-SD-3", xvhere a rear yard deck not exceeding 4.4 metres in height may encroach a maximum of 2.5 metres into a required rear yard. Accordingly, staff recommend that Council approve Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 28/01, as set out in draft in Appendix I to Report Number PD 12-02. Further, staff recommend that the draft by-law be forwarded to City Council for enactment. 4.0 _42plicant's Comments The applicant has reviewed the contents of this Report and draft by-law and concurs with the contents.

Part Lots 6 and 7, Plan 489 Northwest comer of Kingston Road and Walnut Lane City of Pickering RECOMMENDATION: That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 41/00, submitted by John Moniz on behalf of 1094511 Ontario Inc., on lands being Part Lots 6 and 7, Plan 489, City of Pickering, to amend the zoning on the subject lands to permit the establishment of a two-storey office building, for professional and business offices (excluding medical offices), with associated personal services and accessory uses, be APPROVED, subject to the conditions outlined in Appendix I to Report Number PD 13-02. ORIGIN: Zoning By-la~v Amendment Application A 41/00 submitted to the City of Pickering. AUTHORITY: The Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This application to amend the zoning by-law will permit a two-storey building of approximately 1380 square metres gross floor area to be constructed on the subject lands. The permitted uses in the building would include both business and professional offices, excluding medical offices, with associated personal services and accessory uses. The proposed site design will provide an "urban face" by locating the building on the Kingston Road frontage with parking located behind the building. The parking lot will be appropriately buffered and screened from abutting residential land uses. The irregular shape of the property has resulted in some difficult site design concerns that have, and will continue to be, addressed through the site plan approval process. The design of the proposed development will establish a building massing and location that is anticipated to be followed as adjacent properties to the west redevelop. The revised conceptual site plan provided by the applicant provides sufficient detail to enable the preparation of an implementing zoning by-law that establishes appropriate development standards, ensures compliance with the Kingston Road guidelines, and provides suitable buffers to adjacent development. Details of site design will be determined through the site plan review process. Report to Council PD 13-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 41 00 Date: January 29, 2002 Page 2 O4 7 It has been concluded that the lands arc appropriate for the development of office uses, generally as proposed by the applicant, but subject to requirements that may be undertaken through the Site Plan Approval process. This application is recommended lbr approval, subject to conditions. BACKGROUND: 1.0 Introduction The subject property is located on the northwest corner of' \Valnut Lane and Kingston Road. A property location map is provided :bt rcf`erence (see Attachment #t). The subject property is approximately 0.28 of a hectare in size. and is currently vacant. Residential land uses surround the subject property to the x; est. north and east, and commercial uses are located directly south of the subject lands across Kingston Road. The applicant proposes to construct a tx~ o-storev building, originally 1422 square metres in size. The proposed building is intended to support primarily business and pro/~ssional offices, and associated personal sec'ice, retail and caIbtcria uses. A reduction o~' the applicant's original site plan is provided tbr rel~rence Iscc Attachment =2). Tiqe proposed txvo-storcy building is intended to be located to the front of thc subject lands fin close proximity to Kingston Road). The parking area supporting thc proposed building would be located to the rear (north) of the buildino and would be accessed from Walnut Lane. Since the public meeting the applicant has worked with staiT to address many of` the site design issues that were present in the original design of`thc propcrt.',. This has resulted in a revised plan being submitted for consideration (see Attachment ::3 ). The follov,'ing is background information on the subject application.

Report to Council PD 13-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 41/00 Date: January 29. 2002 Page 3 At the Public Information Meeting six area resident commented on the application's proposal. Comments included: · Concern with the height and massing of the building; · Range of commercial uses proposed; · Question on the available space for planting around the parking lot; · Questions on parking lot lighting; · Noise associated with the parking lot; · Questions if the proposal would become a hangout and loitering; · Concerns that the proposed development would have an impact on surrounding property values; and, · Impact of the proposed development on traffic flows and traffic speed on Walnut Lane. Minutes of the April 19, 2001 Statuary Public Information Meeting are provided for reference (see Attachment #5). 2.1 Public Comment Txvo written comments have been received on the original design for the application. David Finnegan, 1711 Wollaston Court - advises that in principle he is in favour of the proposed application, however has some concerns related to: building design/massing; need for a shadow study; the proposed gross floor area is over development given the size of the site; cnsuring required parking is provided on site; access issues off of Walnut Lane; need for a noise study; type of proposed landscaping on the north and west side of the property; site lighting; landscaping for the Kingston Road frontage; appropriateness of the proposed uses and their operation; and, construction impacts (see Attachment #6). Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, 1134 Kingston Road - advises that their concerns relate to providing future fight-of-way access onto Walnut Lane from the properties located west of the subject property (see Attachment #7). 2.2 Comments from Other Agencies The following agencies have advised they have no objection or no objection subject to satisfying some technical/administrative conditions related to construction. Veridian Connections (see Attachment #8) Canada Post (see Attachment #9) Bell Canada (see Attachment #10) Durham District School Board (see Attachment #11) The Region of Durham Planning Department noted that the subject lands are designated "Living Area" within the Durham Region Official Plan, which permits limited office development and limited retailing of goods and services, in appropriate locations. These limited uses are permitted provided that Community and Local Central Areas are designated in the area municipal official plan, and the functions and characteristics of such Central Areas are not adversely affected. The proposed application is in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan. In terms of services, the subject property is currently serviced xvith municipal water and sanitary sewer service. They further noted the application has been screened in accordance with the provincial plan review responsibilities and no interests ~vould appear to be affected (see Attachment #12). 2.2 Comments from City Departments The Development Control Section has advised of the following: · lands at the nortt~east comer of the property should be conveyed to the City to permit the existing sidewalk to be located on City property; Report to Council PD 13-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A -41'00 Date: January 29, 2002 0 4 9 Page 4 · to provide land at the northeast comer of the properly to the owner of 1736 Walnut Lane to pennit the existing drivewav to remain and to give tile property oxvner full access to the road allowance; urbanization of Kingston Road fronting the subject property should be done at tile time the subject property is developed, including the placement of a sidcxx alk: fencing along the west and noah property line is required: · drainage will need to bc self contained on the propcrU and a Stonnwater Management Report will need to be submitted that addresses water quality, water quantity and outfall: · a soils report must be submitted: · a construction management plan will be required', and, · modification to tile property entrance may be required (Attachment ~13). 3.0 Discussion 3.1 Permitted Uses The existing zoning applicable to the subject lands permits one detached dwelling unit per lot. The existing zoning is not consistent with tile Official Plan designation of "Mixed Use Area-Mixed Corridor" within the Toxvn Centre Neighbourhood. The proposed uses arc more in keeping with thc ctesignation. However it is noted that tho subject site is small and there is not ample parking provided. Thc subject site can be designed to meet the minimum parking rcquireinent lbr a prolkssional and business offices. }toxx ex er thc site, xxith thc proposed building cannot meet tho minimum parking requirement Ibr a medical office, retail store or a restaurant. It is recommended that the fi~ture implementing zonin2 bx-laxv permit all business and/or prol~ssional office (excluding lnedical offices) uses on thc subject lands as well as personal services and accessory uses (see Appendix I). Applying tile standard office definitions to tile subject lands xxill allow a broader range of business andor professional office l excluding medical offices) uses to be permitted on the subject lands, as well as associated personal services and accessory uses. The resultant office uses are appropriate, call bc made to be sensitive and compatible with surrounding established land uses, and in keeping with tho City's "Mixed Use Area Xlixed Corridor" Official Plan desi~nation~ applicable to the subject lands, that encoura~,es= mixed uses to serve a broader area at a community scale and intensity. "' 9 ,~._ Coordinated Development The subject property is the first application to come betbre Council for the redevelopment of the Kingston Road frontage between Walnut Lane and the Glen Eden Court residential area to the west. It is anticipated the five (5) exist/nM residential properties xxill all be redcveloped over time. Given the fact that access from Kingston Road may IqOt be axailable to all of these properties it is recommended that the subject land accommodate, in their site design, the possibility for future right-of-way access across their propcrt> to tile iandoxvners to the west to allow for future access onto Walnut Lane. The urbanization of this portion off Kingston Road will begin with tiffs property and be extended west as properties redevelop. 3.3 Parking Requirements Thc current site plan indicates a supply of (51 parking spaces. Considering tile proposed uses, professional and business offices (excluding medical oflaces), with associated personal services and accessory uses, a parking ratio of 4.5 parking spaces per 1{~() square metres of gross floor area is considered the minimum parking standard Ibr suct~ uses. Other commercial uses, such as medical offices, retail stores and restaurants (high parking: demand generator) xxoutd result in a high parking ratio being required which can not be supported on this property. 050 Report to Council PD 13-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 41/00 Date: January 29, 2002 Page 5 The proposed building of 1,380 square metres would require 62 parking spaces at a ratio of 4.5 parking spaces per 100 square metres of gross floor area. This is one parking space more than currently show on the site plan. The parking layout on the proposed site plan is serviced bv a parking aisle width of 6.0 metres. This is below the municipal standard of 6.5 metres for a two-~vay parking aisle that services parking spaces at a 90 degree angle to the parking aisle. It is recommended that a minimum of 4.5 parking spaces per 100 square metres of building gross leasable floor area be required for this development (see Appendix I). This standard should ensure an adequate supply of parking. It is further recommended that the parking aisle width be increased to 6.5 metres in width for two-way traffic to ensure adequate space is provided for appropriate manoeuvring within the parking lot. 3.4 Building Size Limitations The applicant proposes a building of 1,380 square metres gross floor area. The ultimate size of the building will be limited by the amount of parking that the subject site can support. As indicated in Section 3.3 of this report, the parking layout proposed by the applicant already has insufficient parking, and insufficient parking aisle widths. A minor redesign of the parking layout is required which is expected to result in the need for the building to be slightly reduced in order to accommodate appropriate on-site parking for the proposed development. 3.5 Site Design Matters The subject lands are located xvithin the "Town Centre West" precinct as outlined in the Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design and Development Guidelines. This precinct is recognized as a transition zone between the Whites Road Corridor precinct and the Downtown Core precinct. The Town Centre West precinct is encouraged to evolve over the long term into a pedestrian-friendly, mixed use neighbourhood that will act as an extension to the Downtown Core, especially east of Walnut Lane. Development of the site will have to have regard to these Guidelines. Through review of the associated site plan application, staff will assess the proposed development based on the detailed design considerations outlined in the Pickering Official Plan. The design and building materials used for the proposed development and landscaped features will be reviewed through the site plan approval process to ensure that they complement surrounding development and maintain an appropriate design standard along Kingston Road. The applicant and City staff having been working co-operatively on the site design. The applicant has responded to many of the staff suggestions that have resulted in an improved design compared to the original design. However, there are certain fundamental design elements that still need to be addressed. The first is the creation of an appropriate landscape buffer strip along the north property line where the proposed commercial property will abut an existing residential property. Whenever there is conflicting land uses, such as commercial abutting residential, an adequate landscape strip is required to separate, screen and buffer the conflicting land uses. This landscape strip should have sufficient width so that fencing can be erected to provide the screening as well as sufficient space for planting of landscape stock that will help buffer the two land uses. This landscape strip also provides room for snow storage on site. The recommended minimum xvidth is 3.0 metres. While this landscape width should also be a normal requirement for both the east and west side of the proposed parking lot, this Department recognizes that the lands to the west are anticipated to be redeveloped for possible commercial/office uses therefore, a landscape strip will not be required in this location. Along the eastern property line the proposed 2.3 metre landscape stripe will be acceptable given it abuts a flanking lot line. However, it is still expected that a high quality landscape package be implemented into this flanking landscape strip (see Appendix I). The other significant site redesign that will need to be addressed is the parking lot layout. The parking lot should be reconfigured, as indicated in Section 3.3 of this report, to ensure adequate parking has been achieved on site (supplying parking at a ratio of 4.5 spaces per 100 square metres of gross leasable floor area) and providing parking aisle widths of a minimum of 6.5 metres. (see Appendix I). Report to Council PD 13-02 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 41'00 Date: January'~9 2002 Page 0 051 in terms of the building design, tile building should present a 'face' onto tile Kingston Road faCade. There should be a high levd oi' architectural presence to tile portion of tile building that l¥onts onto the public roads, including an entrance and appropriate glazing. The revised conceptual site plan provided by the applicant provides sufficient detail to enable the preparation of an implementin~ zoning bv-laxx that establishes appropriate development standards, ensures compliance with the Kingston Road guidelines, and provides suitable buffers to adjacent development. Details oi' site design will be determined through the site plan review process. It has been concluded that the lands are appropriate for tile development of office uses. generally as proposed by the applicant, but subject to requirements that may be undertaken through thc Site Plan Approval process. 4.0 A~2plicant's Comments The applicant has provided their rational lbr their proposed site design as outlined in Attachment #14, and does not support increasing the landscape strip along the north property line to 3.0 metre and any resultant building, size reduction.

Vincent Santamora, representing the applicant, advised that 1094511 Ontario Inc. is actually Remax Realty and the proposed building will be their Corporate Office. They have made every effort to stick with the C1 zoning and to follow urban guidelines. This structure will be a high quality professional tenant building. David Finnigan,' 1711 Wollast0n Crt., stated his 'support for a two storey commercial building but concern for the height and massing of the proposed structure. Renderings should be provided and elevations and shadowing made available. He questioned if all parking will remain on site, if there is a possibility of underground parking, if landscaping will be done on the north and west sides of the property and will there be sufficient lighting on site for security. He stated that if this building is sold for medical purposes, size should be limited. He also questioned if a restaurant use is permitted. Charlene Vienneau, 1736 Walnut Lane, stated her concern with the parking lot being placed in front of her house and the driveway beside her property. She also stated her concern with the noise and that this location could become a hang out. Rob Wyers, 1128 Kingston Road, representing 1291553 Ont. Ltd., stated his concern that the value of his lands will depreciate. He questioned what wilt occur with sewer main access from Walnut Lane. Leah-Ann Lymer, I735 Walnut Lane, Unit 36, stated her concern with respect to traffic flow on Walnut Lane as well as noise and loitering. 061 Wade Cruise, 1743 Walnut Lane, stated his concern with speed and traffic flow along with safety of children. He requested that the proposed entrance be moved to another part of the property. Martin Herzog, Liverpool West Community Assoc., advised of their concern with respect to the range of uses, site of building, off street parking on Walnut Lane and traffic flow problems. He stated that commercial uses should be delineated, urban design needs to be reviewed and driveway location should be examined. He suggested using brick and wood rather than fiat concrete xvall. Vincent Santamora, representing the applicant, advised that a m,o storey building of 50' is allowed but their building will only be 25' to 30'. The density and coverage will be less than the townhouses located across Walnut Lane. A single dwelling could have the same coverage as the proposed building. Some of the uses proposed for this building are an office supply business and cafeteria for those working in the building. A study was carried out and it is not anticipated that more than 20 people will arrive at the building in the morning. A material can be used on the parking lot to create a bumpy surface to deter skate boarders. O62 ATTACHMENT,~ ~ T'O David H.

Parts of Lots 6 and 7, Plan 489 (Northwest corner of Walnut Lane and Kingston Road) Dear Mr. Taylor, I live at 1711 Wollaston Court, which is located behind the abovementioned proposed development. I received recently a copy of the Public Notice for this proposal. I also picked up a copy of Information Report No. 13-01 and met with Ms. Lynda Taylor, Manager Current Operations and discussed some concerns I have with this development proposal. I would like to state up front that I am in principal in favour of the Developers proposed rezoning of this property to a two-storey office building. I do however have some comments, questions and concerns relative to this proposal and respectfully submit the following recognising that some of the following issues have been raised in the Planning and Development Department's Information Report: 1. I understand the building is to be limited to 2 storeys, which I believe to be reasonable provided that the owner provides exact design details of the building including information on height by means of building elevation drawings and a rendering including the roof pitch (if any). 2. Will the developer be requested to provide a shadowing impact study? 3. The proposed Gross Floor Area of the building is 1422 sq. m or 15,306 sq. ft. Given that the entire property is only 0.69 of an acre (under 30,000 sq. ft.) and at present is zoned R3 permitting a single family residential home I respectfully submit that the Developer's proposal is a significant over development of this site. Can the G.F.A. be reduced to a more compatible and appropriate size? 4. Is an on site parking study to be provided to ensure the site's ability to keep all of the parking demands on the site and not spilling over on to the abutting residential streets? ATTACHL~ENT #, TO REPORT ¢~ PD~ ,-~ f 63 David H. Finnegan 1711 Wollaston Court, Pickering, Ontario, L1V 2W9 Tel: (905)-837-1280 5. Access to the site is going to create trat22c issues along Walnut lane that will also impact Kingston rd particularly when traffic lines up to access this property. I trust that the Developer will provide a traffic impact study. Will there be a need for road widening on Walnut lane? Ifa future shared access to this site is obtained in cooperation with any development to the west will the Walnut lane access be closed? 6. I believe that some discussion stnould take place with area residents on the massing of the proposed building and its proposed location on tile site. 7. If there are any external on site uses proposed will there be a requirement for a noise study? 8. What type of landscaping will be provided to the west and north of the property? 9. Site lighting from a neighbourhood safety point of view should be addressed. Lighting should also be contained on the site. 1 0. Will the Developer be required to make any improvements to the Kingston road frontage such as sidewalL/landscaping improvements? 1 1. If medical offices are a permitted use what is the propose size of this space? This is an important question as it relates to traffic and use of`the site. 12. What will be the hours of operation for the proposed building? 13. Ifa restaurant use is proposed will the neighbourhood be subjected to cooking odours? 14. Where will municipal site services come in to the site? If' fi'om Walnut what disruption will there be and for how long'? 1 5. During construction I trust there will be hoarding around the property,, a dust control program and daily road clean tip. 16. A site-specific list of proposed uses should be reviewed wilt2 the community and should be built into any new zoning By-law on a site-specific basis. I will be in attendance on April 19th 2001 at 7.00pm Public Meetinz in Council Chambers and would appreciate it if you would keep me apprised of any new dev~'lopments relative to this proposal. Thank you in advance for assistance and your consideration of the above matters. Yours sincerely, David H. Finnegan. cc. Mayor Wayne Arthurs Regional Councillor Mark Holland Councillor Bill McLean ATTACHMENT ~ '7 TO REPORT# PD /..~-©;2_ APR CITY OF PIC}(ERING, April 11, 2001, Dear Mr. Taylor, I am writing in response to our phone conversation. We are concerned about the construction at the North west comer of Walnut Lane and Kingston Rd. Since the city of Picketing wishes to limit access to Kingston Rd we are concerned that construction on the lot in question will block any access to Walnut Lane from our property for future development. This would lower the value of our property. In our recent phone conversation you assured me that the town is being careful not to allow this to happen and is very aware of this potential problem for the remaining properties between the townhouses and this new development. I feel confident from our conversation that I can rely on you to take care of this matter for us and to notify us of any information that would be important to us. If we are left in a predicament where our properties, in the future, are not able to have access appropriate to a commercial zoning, is the city willing to modify their restrictions concerning the access to Kingston Rd. Thank you so much. Mr. & Mrs. Wagner, 1134 Kingston Rd., Pickering, Ontario, L1V lB4. Ar.' x 'l § ZL/O1 i ~LAI',I~'~!i IG AND DEVELOT-','~?rT DEPARTMENT 905-839-3230.

Urbanization of Kingston Road fronting this properU, should be completed at the time this property is developed. This will allow placement of a sidewalk on Kingston Road which is needed: a) To continue the program to install urbanization along Kingston Road. b) To provide a more suitable and safe access to the existing bus stop on Kingston Road fronting this development. Fencing should be required along the ,;,'est and nor'th lot line of this development. The fencing should provide suitable screening from vehicle Lights and noise from the parking lot area. An existing hedge, probably placed by owner of # 1736 Walnut Lane is located too far into the property to allo~t it ~o be saved, as per the existing design. This matter may need to be addressed. continued ... Ron Taylor April 19, 200 l Page 2 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) Drainage will need to be self contained and a Stormwater Management Report will be required to address such matters, as quality control, quantity control and proposed outfall. The storm sewer may need to be sized to accommodate upstream development. (Note: The existing storm sewer on Walnut Lane was not originally designed to accommodate this property). Drainage from the property to the west must also be accommodated by this development. A Soils Report should be submitted with any Site Plan Application. A Construction Management Plan will be required prior to the development of this property to address such matters as, material removal and/or storage, storage of building material, location of access, silt and sedimentation controls, hours of work, mud and dust controls, protection of adjacent properties, vehicle parking for all labour and equipment during all phases of construction, etc. The two way aisle should end at the first one way aisle (east side) otherwise it could create confusion if a vehicle entering does not find a location or park in any of the northerly parking spots. To accommodate turning movements and delivery vehicles the access should be wider than 6.5 m and suitable entrance radius provided. All above ground hardware will need to have a minimum of 1.0 m clearance from the entrance. The proposed entrance as indicated will interfere with an existing double catch basin in the road. As this becomes a continuous maintenance problem for the City we would suggest relocating the entrance away from the catch basin.

At the same time, the City's requirements must be considered. We feel that this proposal is practical and meets the intent of the City requirements without damaging the needs of the Developer. The physical shape and topography of the property does not allow ibr efficient coverage. For this project to materialize in its proposed usage, both the developer and the City must loosen their requirements. To address the various issues and City concerns, we list below our design criteria. 1. Access to the property is back fi'om Kingston Road avoiding congestion at the Kingston and Walnut intersection. 2. Setbacks have been squeezed but enough space remains that creative landscaping can result in acceptable buffers to adjoining properties and Streets. Creative landscaping will also be required to address the Kingston and Walnut comer, which is on City land. 3. The City requires 4.5 parking spaces per l (l(isq.m. or 62 spaces with our proposal. Our proposal shows 61 spaces. 4. The entrance to the building is located at the comer of Kingston Road and Walnut Lane. Given the shape of the building, which is the result of an odd shaped property, an architectural feature at tiffs corner will give file building a good urban anchor. This allows for an efficient floor plate using a tight comer as the lobby. It is also accessible to the fire department without tine fire truck entering the site, which would not be possible.

The review concluded that it was ~toz zhe 07~e of vehicle that needed to be controlled (i.e.: truck van bus/commercial ). but ratt2cr zhe size e/'~he vc'/zzc/e a~M the /oe~zio~ in which it is parked. The nexv off-street parking provisions reflect 'peribnnancc based' requirements (vehicle height/length/location) and have been in force tbr almost three years. By-law Enforcement advises that the bv-laxxs have been operating successfully, with very few complaints. Small tow trucks that meet the height and length restrictions of the new by-laws are presently permitted to park in Pickcring's urban residential areas. However, in recent months a situation has been brouglnt to the attention of City staff and Ward 1 Councillors xvhere tow trucks are parking both on and off-street on a particular residential street. Report to Council PD 11-02 Subject: O£f-Street Parking By-law Tow Trucks - Urban Residential Neighbourhoods Date: January 29, 2002 Page 2 Council requested the Planning & Development Department to prepare a report, prohibiting tow trucks from parking in urban residential neighbourhoods. This report provides an outline of the City's off-street parking review, and contains a resolution wording that Council could adopt that will authorize the commencement of City initiated amendments to the urban residential off-street parking by-laws, to prohibit tow trucks from parking off-street. Should Council pass a resolution, thereby commencing a .City initiated amendment, it is recommended that Council limit the extent of the amendment to the prohibition of tow trucks, and not extend the prohibition to additional vehicle types so as not to significantly alter the underlying principles of the existing by-laws. BACKGROUND: 1.0 Histo~ In the late 1990's City Staff and residents identified a concern with the off-street parking provisions of the City's Zoning By-laxvs. The provisions ~vere difficult to interpret and enforce, and thus it was difficult to consistently and effectively control off-street parking, in response to these difficulties Staff undertook a review of the off-street parking provisions. This comprehensive review involved the preparation of a discussion paper, newspaper advertisements, and public meetings. The review recognized changing business practices and economic times and associated impacts of the nature of vehicles being parked in residential area. Planning Recommendation Report Number 4-99 (March 15, 1999) included recommendations pertaining to off-street parking based on vehicle size (height and length), and location, not by type and Council endorsed the 'performance based' parking strategy. This strategy was based on the principle that parking standards should not discriminate against changing economic practices, which may necessitate the parking of different vehicles in residential areas. The review concluded it was not the (vpe of vehicle that need to be controlled, rather it was the size of the vehicle and the location where it may be parked, regardless of its intended use. It was further concluded through the review that it was appropriate for commercial motor vehicles to be subject to the same regulations as other vehicles parked in a residential area. This would permit vehicles such as a small school bus, small commercial vans/vehicles, including smaller tow trucks that did not exceed specific height and length provisions. It was agreed that the parking of construction vehicles in a residential area was inappropriate and was not permitted (dump truck, backhoe, grader, etc.). 2.0 Discussion During the off-street parking review, tow trucks were specifically considered and it was concluded through the adoption of the zoning amendments by Council that this vehicle type was acceptable in a residential area provided they are within the height and length requirements of the new by-law (2.6 metre height / 6.7 metre length -see example By-law, Attachment #3). A prohibition of all tow trucks would constitute a restriction by vehicle 'type' rather than by vehicle 'performance', contra~ to the principles guiding the review. In addition to the off-street parking provisions of the Zoning By-law, there are other Municipal Parking By-laws that address on-street parking (three-hour limit, no parking in the city boulevard/driveway apron). These by-laws work in conjunction with each other to assist in controlling parking in residential neighbourhoods. By-law Enforcement advises that the new off-street parking by-laws have been operating successfully, with few complaints. Report to Council PD 11-02 Subject: Off-Street Parking By-law Tow Trucks - Urban Residential Neighbourhoods Date' January 29, 2002 Page 3 t.tox;'cver, in recent months a Picketing resident (.',Ir. John Jenson) has brought a particular situation to tile attention of City Staff and Ward 1 Councillors xvt,crc lox',' trucks arc parking inappropriately in a residential ncighbourhood both on and off the street (sec Attachment x2). Mr. Jenson holds a strong opinion that tow trucks of any typo or size :irc inappropriate vehicles to be parked in a residential area. 'Finis particular issue appears to involve a combination of breaches of both on and off-street parking by-law provisions and does not appear to warrant a full scale review of all aspects of thc off-street parking provisions. A lull rex'iexv of tile Zoning By-lay,' off-street parking provisions is not recomnlended. \Ve understand through Bv-laxv En/brcernent that there are nunaerous situations within thc City xxhcre tow trucks are parked o/'I2strect in an acceptable manner without neighbourhood complaint. Slnould Council direct a City-initiated ZOlqillg amendment to prohibit tow trucks fi-Oln parking ofl~strcct, public notice of thc intended antci~dtqqerqt lin thc local newspaper(s) and the City's WEB page will bring attention to this matter and al!oxx lbr public comment at the required Statutoo' Public Infomaation Meeting. While tow trucks were specificall)' included in the prcx ious rcviev,' of off-street parking vehicles, and determined to be acceptable subject to length and height restrictions, tho t'unction associated with this type of vehicle could encourage actixitics that are not appropriate in residential neighbourhoods, such as vehicle repair and vehicles in toxx. Should Council desire to prohibit all tbrms of tow trucks from parking in residential areas it is recommended that Council pass the Iblloxving resolution, directing the initiation of the amendment, and restricting tile anaendment to only the prohibition oi' tow trucks: '"ghat the Director, Planning & Development commence a City-initiated zoning by-law amendment to the off-street parking provisions within Zoning By-laws 3036, 2520 and 2511 to prohibit tow trucks from parking off-street in urban residential neighbourhoods." If Staff is directed to amend tile urban area zoning bv-lav,'s to prohibit tow trucks from parking in urban residential areas, newspaper adxcrtiscments and a Statutorx Public Inlbnnation Meeting will be required. It is anticipated that tiao Statutory Public Inlbrnaation meeting would be held in April with a Recommendation and Implementing Bx-law brought lbnvard to Planning Committee in June 2002.

C T.J. Quinn, Chief Administrative Officer Submission from Mr. John Jensen ATTACHI.'.Et;T #_ ~ _TO REPORT ,~ PD___..Lj - o ~k TOW TRUCKS SPOIL EASTBANK ROAD RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD SAFETY Neighbourhood children in wheelchairs being escorted for walks, elderly using electric carts, mothers with baby strollers, children on scooters and small bicycles, joggers and neighbours going for a stroll are forced out on the street to get around cars/trucks blocking the sidewalk. When backing out of the driveways, neighbours vision is impaired whether trucks are parked on the street or on the apron of the driveway. E~STHETIC$ By allowing commercial vehicles in a residential neighbourhood on a permanent basis, equates to allowing industrial outside storage and commercial signage which is otherwise not permitted in a residential zone. Oil spills on the pavement where these trucks park. Frequently looks like an auto repair shop when trucks and surplus vehicles are being repaired in driveway. NOISE Noise from truck engines when startJng and when leaving & arriving. Car engines being revved up while being repaired or shown to others. RIPPLE EFFECT After ticketing blitz, other neighbours are resorting to parking over sidewall,: to prevent getting ticketed, Rogers Cable, CN, Entourage, Honeywell, Leatherdale taking advantage of outside vehicle storage in residential neighbourhood. REOOMMENDA TIONS Commercial vehicles with any form of advertising should be banned from a residential neighbourhood unless making a scheduled delivery or household repair during normal daylight hours. Three hour maximum parking allotment should be eliminated Not adequate for guest parking. ~locking sidewalk partially or completely should be banned at ail times. Strict enforcement should be implemented ATTACHMENT ~ REPORT Submission from Mr. John Jensen Submission from N, ir.
