Norvalley Homes Ltd.
Part of Lot 5, Plan 282
Rear Portion of 1827 Pine Grove Avenue
(Rockwood Drive, north of Prohill Street)
City of Pickering
Council, on February 20, 2002, approved the above-noted application to permit residential
development of the subject lands (see attached location map). Council also approved the request
to permit creation of five new residential building lots through land severance applications,
rather than by a plan of subdivision on the subject lands. Conditions of approval have now been
satisfied and a draft amending by-law has been prepared. Since the performance standards for
the subject lands are the same as for the lands located to the south (Subdivision 1ST 98007) that
were implemented by adoption of Zoning By-law 5770/00, zoning for the subject lands is being
implemented by extending the boundary of the "SI-lY' zone category on Schedule I of
Zoning By-law 5770/00 to include the subject lands. The draft by-law has been circulated to and
approved by the applicant and is attached for the consideration of City Council at their meeting
scheduled for March 4, 2002.
A Statutory Public Meeting was held for this application on January 17, 2002.
Please note that this by-law may be given all three readings at the March 4, 2002
Council Meeting.
The purpose and effect of this by-law is to amend Zoning By-law 3036, as amended, to permit
the development of five lots for detached dwellings, with minimum frontages of 15 metres and
minimum lot areas of 460 square metres on the subject lands. The lots will be located on an
extension of Rockwood Drive to be constructed north of Prohill Street.
If you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
I concur that this by-law
be considered at this time.
