The Corporation of the City of Pickering
By-law No. 8142/24
Being a By-law to require the conveyance of land for park or
other public recreational purposes as a condition of
development or redevelopment, or the subdivision of lands.
Whereas Sections 42, 51(25), 51.1, and 53 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13,
provide that the Council of a local municipality may by by-law require that land be conveyed to
the municipality for park or other public recreational purposes as a condition of development or
redevelopment or the subdivision of lands;
Whereas Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide for an
alternate parkland rate for residential purposes of one hectare for each 600 dwelling units
proposed for development provided the municipality has an official plan that contains specific
policies dealing with the provision of lands for park or other public recreational purposes at
such a rate;
Whereas Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide that,
for the alternative requirement, municipalities shall not require a conveyance or payment in lieu
that is greater than,
a. in the case of land proposed for development or redevelopment that is five hectares or
less in area, 10 percent of the land or the value of the land, as the case may be; and
b. in the case of land proposed for development or redevelopment that is greater than five
hectares in area, 15 percent of the land or the value of the land;
Whereas Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter P.13, provide that
municipalities may request payment in lieu of land for park or other public recreational
purposes at a rate of one hectare for each 1,000 dwelling units proposed for development
provided the municipality has an official plan that contains specific policies dealing with the
provision of lands for park or other public recreational purposes at such a rate; and
Whereas the use of an alternate parkland rate for conveyance (1 hectare: 600 dwelling units)
and an alternate rate for payment in lieu (1 hectare: 1,000 dwelling units) will provide the City
with increased versatility in providing parkland that efficiently serves the needs of the
community;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as follows:

By-law No. 8142/24 Page 5
Lands Not Accepted for Conveyance
15. Land to be conveyed must be in a location that is acceptable to the City with frontage
onto an open and maintained municipal road.
16. Conveyance of environmental and open space lands shall not be accepted or
considered as a conveyance of lands for a park or for other public recreational
purposes. These lands include:
• required for drainage;
• stormwater management facilities;
• valley and stream corridor or shoreline protection purposes;
• lands susceptible to flooding;
• steep valley slopes and hazard lands;
• lands required to be conveyed to a public agency other than the City of Pickering;
• environmentally sensitive areas or lands, including wetlands and woodlands;
• areas of natural and scientific interest;
• portion of a property containing a cultural landscape that is designated to be of
cultural value or interest pursuant to Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act lands
required for buffer purposes;
• lands that are deemed to be contaminated; and
• other lands unsuitable for park development.
Redevelopment of Lands
17. Where land has previously been conveyed to the City for park or other public
recreational purposes, or a payment in lieu of such conveyance has been received by
the City, under section 42 of the Planning Act or a condition imposed under section
51.1 or 53 of the Planning Act, no additional conveyance or payment shall be required
under this By-law unless:
a. there is a change in the proposed development or redevelopment, which would
increase the density of development; or
b. land originally proposed for development or redevelopment for Commercial or
Industrial Uses is now proposed for development or redevelopment for Residential
Use.
In those instances, the extent of increased density or redevelopment to residential use
shall be subject to the requirements of this By-law.
Phased Development
18. For development or redevelopment for which approvals are issued in phases:
a. Whenever possible, the City shall acquire all parkland conveyances in Phase 1; and
b. At a minimum, the City shall require the proportional conveyance of land for park
purposes or the payment-in-lieu, at the time of approval for each phase.
19. Where the Council deems it appropriate to acquire parkland in a later phase of
development, the Council shall require the developer to enter into an agreement

specifying the amount, location and timing of parkland conveyance. Additionally, the
developer must provide securities acceptable to the City, sufficient to ensure the
parkland is provided in the future.
Payment Instead of Conveyance
20. In lieu of the conveyance of land under this By-law, Council may require the payment
of money to the value of the land otherwise required to be conveyed under this By-
law, or a combination of land and money.
21. The value of the land shall be determined by a fair market value appraisal prepared, at
the expense of the Proponent, by a qualified professional appraiser of real estate. All
appraisals obtained pursuant to this By-law shall state the criteria used to determine
the value within the appraisal and shall be satisfactory to the City. An appraisal shall
remain current for two years from the date of the appraisal.
22. In the case of the subdivision of land, the value of the land shall be determined as of
the day before the approval of the draft plan of subdivision.
23. In the case of development or redevelopment, the value of the land shall be
determined as of the day before the first permit is issued.
24. The City reserves the right to have the appraisal peer reviewed. The cost of the peer
review will be borne by the City.
a. Where the difference in appraisal estimates is less than 10 percent, the lower
appraisal estimate will be used to determine the value.
b. Where the difference in appraisal estimates is between 10 percent to 30 percent,
the mean average of the two appraisals will be used to determine the value.
c. Where the difference in appraisal estimates is greater than 30 percent, the higher
appraisal will be used to determine the value.
25. All payments of money in lieu of the conveyance of land shall be made prior to the
issuance of a building permit for the land to be developed or redeveloped.
Parkland Credits
26. Notwithstanding Section 5 and 8, where Council deems it appropriate to accept a
Strata Park that is to be owned by the City, the land provided by the Strata Park shall
be applied as an 80 percent credit towards the parkland requirements. This credit
considers this type of parkland’s inherent use limitations. For clarity, the 80 percent
credit described in this section only applies where Strata Parks are not Privately-
Owned and Publicly Accessible Spaces.
27. Where a Privately-Owned and Publicly Accessible Space is designed and secured
through a public easement for public uses, such uses shall be applied as a 50 percent
credit towards the parkland requirements. This credit reflects the fact that these lands
are not under the control of the City, which will restrict the ability of the City to design,
program, manage, and maintain the space as it wants over time.

the City. The City may request a Record of Site Condition pursuant to the
