Delegations 8.1 Sue Peschke, VP & Secretary, Amberlea Tennis Club Re: Report CS 06-26 Shadybrook Park Court Update (Refer to Item 10.5) S. Peschke, VP & Secretary, Amberlea Tennis Club, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report CS 06-26. S. Peschke encouraged Council to revisit the plan, noting that shared usage of tennis courts was new to Pickering and that the logistics for this model would need to be determined before implementation. S. Peschke stated that Amberlea Tennis Club was not well suited to be the first club to trial shared usage and stated concerns related to the lack of washrooms, water, storage, and parking. S. Peschke said that with only two and a half courts, the Club frequently borrowed courts from other clubs for league play and required more court time. S. Peschke indicated that larger clubs with washrooms, parking, and clubhouses would be more appropriate for introducing the shared-use format, and outlined concerns from members and residents, including potential increases in vandalism, improper use of the courts such as hockey or rollerblading, and the fragile nature of the surface, which was not ideal for unsupervised public use. S. Peschke also noted that some had raised insurance-related concerns. S. Peschke highlighted the Club’s goal of growing the sport of tennis through grassroots programs and expressed support for building more public courts in Pickering. S. Peschke suggested that local high schools, particularly Dunbarton and St. Mary’s, would be suitable locations, given that school teams currently borrowed courts from the Club, and added that a partnership between the City and the school boards was encouraged. S. Peschke requested that Council vote against proceeding with public court usage at Amberlea Tennis Club at this time. 9.

Delegations 3.1 Matt Bentley, Uxbridge Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 M. Bentley, Uxbridge Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. M. Bentley stated that the proposal appeared rushed and encouraged Council to consider deferring its decision. M. Bentley expressed concern that the Plan had advanced without adequate fiscal and environmental analysis and without meaningful consultation with the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, referencing correspondence dated March 25, 2026. M. Bentley stated that approval of the Plan would benefit developers while transferring financial, environmental, and long-term risks to residents. M. Bentley advised that approval would represent a point of no return, noting that expanding the urban boundary shifts leverage away from the City. M. Bentley stated that several key studies remained outstanding and that approving the Plan before completion of these studies would limit Council’s ability to respond if the development was found to be inappropriate. M. Bentley further stated that approval could result in increased taxes, heightened flood risk, environmental harm, deterioration of relationships with First Nations, and loss of sustainable farming in Northeast Pickering. M. Bentley clarified that the opposition was not to growth or housing generally, but to advancing the Plan without demonstrated need, financial certainty, and completed analysis. M. Bentley encouraged Council not to approve the Plan at this time. 3.2 Abdullah Mir, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 - 55 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 3 A. Mir, Pickering Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. A. Mir advised that this was the fourth delegation on the matter and thanked the Mayor, Councillors, and City staff for meetings and information provided in advance of the meeting. A. Mir stated that proceeding with development in Northeast Pickering remained a poor decision and expressed concern that no fiscal impact studies had been completed to demonstrate whether the proposal made financial sense. A. Mir stated that approving the Plan would create a permissive framework allowing development applications to proceed, making it difficult for the City or future Councils to refuse proposals should subsequent studies indicate the development was too costly. A. Mir questioned whether approval could be revisited if analysis showed the Plan to be unaffordable and cautioned that approval could expose the City to legal risk at the Ontario Land Tribunal. A. Mir referenced recent reductions in immigration targets, declining population growth, and changes to development charges legislation, adding that demand assumptions underlying the Plan were uncertain. A. Mir stated that development should instead be prioritized in areas with existing serviced land, including the Seaton community, which remained significantly unbuilt. A. Mir concluded that development in Northeast Pickering would primarily benefit developers and requested that Council vote against approving the Official Plan Amendment at this time. 3.3 Helen Brenner, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 H. Brenner, Pickering Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. H. Brenner stated that despite the volume of updates released since the previous meeting, the revisions did not address core resident concerns, including potential tax increases, increased flood risk, irreversible loss of prime agricultural land, and the lack of meaningful consultation with the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. H. Brenner expressed concern that developer funded studies would only be peer reviewed after public review and approval, noting that this was not standard practice and raised questions regarding the thoroughness and independence of the evidence relied upon by Council. H. Brenner stated that approving the Plan prior to completing required studies would transfer financial and environmental risk to taxpayers. H. Brenner advised that the proposal would place significant urban development on the headwaters of Carruthers Creek, raising foreseeable downstream flood risks and potential liability to the City. H. Brenner also raised that the Plan relied on outdated provincial growth - 56 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 4 projections, while serviced land remained available elsewhere in Pickering, including in Seaton. H. Brenner stated that Council should delay approval until proper analysis was completed and noted that approving the Plan was not required to maintain municipal control. H. Brenner further stated that prior investment by developers did not obligate Council to approve the proposal and urged Council to vote against approving the Plan at this time and to complete the Pickering Forward Official Plan Review process to ensure growth was affordable, evidence based, and sustainable. 3.4 Carter Perks, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 C. Perks, Pickering Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. C. Perks advised that they reside near the northwest boundary of the proposed development area and had lived in the area for over 30 years. C. Perks expressed concern regarding the scale and location of the proposed development, noting that the Plan would introduce a population comparable to most of Pickering’s existing population into a small, rural area that currently lacked supporting infrastructure. C. Perks stated that the proposal amounted to the creation of a satellite city in a remote location, disconnected from the existing urban fabric of Pickering. C. Perks raised concern regarding traffic impacts, road capacity, flooding, high water tables, and the City’s ability to maintain existing infrastructure in the area. C. Perks questioned how development could proceed given that land ownership within the proposed area remained fragmented and suggested that the Plan would result in an inconsistent built-form and disruption to existing homeowners. C. Perks expressed skepticism regarding claims of affordability, stating that the proposal primarily benefited developers through the construction of high-density housing while disregarding the character of North Pickering and surrounding rural communities. C. Perks further stated that population and immigration trends had shifted since the proposal was first advanced, calling into question the underlying assumptions driving the Plan. C. Perks encouraged Council to prioritize development in areas with existing infrastructure, including Seaton and lands closer to Highway 7 and Highway 407, and to preserve Class 1 agricultural land. C. Perks concluded by urging Council to recognize the proposal as premature and to refrain from approving the Plan at this time. 3.5 Adrian Stocking, President and Elizabeth Stocking, Secretary and Board Member, National Farmers Union - Ontario Local 345 - 57 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 5 Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 A. Stocking, President and E. Stocking, Secretary and Board Member, National Farmers Union - Ontario Local 345, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. They advised that the proposed development lands were located within the Union’s local jurisdiction and consisted of Class 1 agricultural soils. They stated that while support existed for new housing and employment, this must be balanced with the protection of Ontario’s best farmland, environmental systems, and food security. They noted that advancing the Plan prior to completing required studies and planning measures was inconsistent with the Planning Act, the Provincial Planning Statement, and the Durham Region Official Plan. They emphasized that prime agricultural lands may only be converted where no reasonable alternatives existed and stated that regional growth scenarios demonstrated that housing targets could be met through intensification and the build out of existing serviced communities, including Seaton. They stated that the destruction of Class 1 farmland was not a planning necessity and represented a permanent loss of a limited resource and raised concerns regarding flood risk, environmental compliance, fiscal liability for residents, and the lack of meaningful Indigenous consultation. They stated that the lands also contained important headwaters that supported drinking water systems and mitigated flooding, and that these natural assets should be protected. They concluded by urging Council to vote against the proposal and to consider the importance of farmland preservation, food security, and long-term sustainability in decision making. 3.6 Mike Borie, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 M. Borie, Pickering Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. M. Borie stated that while housing was a critical priority, the Plan represented a significant and uncalculated financial risk to taxpayers. M. Borie advised that the proposal amounted to a buy now, pay later approach, noting that the City was being asked to approve a major urban expansion without a completed independent fiscal impact analysis. M. Borie stated that low-density sprawl historically did not pay for itself and that property taxes generated by new development rarely covered the long-term maintenance costs of roads, sewers, pumping stations, and emergency services. M. Borie raised that advancing - 58 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 6 Northeast Pickering before completing the build-out of Seaton would force existing taxpayers to subsidize infrastructure in a remote area. M. Borie also highlighted the loss of Class 1 agricultural land as a hidden financial and economic cost and expressed concern that development on the Carruthers Creek headwaters would increase downstream flooding risks, with future mitigation and repair costs borne by the public. M. Borie urged Council to prioritize intensification within existing urban boundaries and requested that approval of the Plan be deferred until a comprehensive, City-led fiscal impact study and environmental studies were completed and made public. M. Borie further requested that any decision on the matter be conducted by recorded vote. M. Borie concluded by stating that approval without proper studies could result in appeals and further actions and urged Council not to proceed with the Plan at this time. 3.7 James Blair, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 J. Blair, Pickering Resident, withdrew their delegation and did not appear before Council. 3.8 Craig Bamford, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 C. Bamford, Pickering Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. C. Bamford stated that the planning process was incomplete and requested that Council defer further consideration of the Secondary Plan until the concerns raised by the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation in correspondence dated March 25, 2026, were fully addressed and meaningful Indigenous consultation was completed. C. Bamford questioned why the Secondary Plan was being advanced prior to completion of the Pickering Forward Official Plan Review and before all requirements of the Region of Durham Official Plan had been satisfied. C. Bamford raised that required studies related to natural hazards, downstream flood mitigation, infrastructure impacts, and fiscal responsibility remained outstanding, including studies addressing flood mitigation solutions in Ajax and responsibility for associated costs. C. Bamford stated that approving the Plan prior to completion of these studies would transfer risk and liability to the City and its - 59 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 7 taxpayers. C. Bamford clarified that the opposition was not to development in principle, but to advancing the Plan prematurely and urged Council to require completion of all required studies before proceeding with approval. 3.9 Katie Pandey, Innovative Planning Solutions Inc. Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 K. Pandey, Innovative Planning Solutions Inc., appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. K. Pandey advised that this was a second delegation following comments provided at the March 2, 2026 Planning & Development Committee meeting, and raised concerns regarding the impact of the proposed Community Park and Community Centre designations on the subject lands. K. Pandey stated that the symbols identifying community facilities within the Plan did not have corresponding policy text clearly outlining their intent or implications. K. Pandey added that the public lands needs assessment identified significant parkland and community facility requirements without sufficient detail regarding park type, facility size, or justification for the selected locations. K. Pandey questioned the criteria used to determine the location of community facilities and parks and noted that although it was indicated that further detail would be addressed through neighbourhood planning, the proposed designations would remain and continue to impact the development potential of the subject lands. K. Pandey stated that the ambiguity created uncertainty for landowners and limited their ability to plan for future development. K. Pandey raised concerns regarding the absence of information related to compensation or relocation criteria should community facilities be moved to alternative sites. K. Pandey advised that due to the lack of clarity and supporting technical information, they did not support the current iteration of the Secondary Plan and indicated that an appeal may be pursued should the Plan be approved. K. Pandey concluded by stating that they remained open to continued discussion with City staff to resolve the outstanding issues. 3.10 Stefan Woloszczuk, Pickering Landowner Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 S. Woloszczuk, Pickering Landowner, withdrew their delegation and did not appear before Council. - 60 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 8 3.11 Andrea Woloszczuk, Pickering Landowner Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 A. Woloszczuk, Pickering Landowner, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. A. Woloszczuk advised that they were one of six property owners affected by the Plan and stated support for the City’s updated Report and acknowledged the collaborative work undertaken by City staff and Council throughout the process. A. Woloszczuk noted that good faith efforts had been made to engage with staff and propose practical solutions, however, concerns raised by the landowners had not been resolved in the new recommendation report. A. Woloszczuk expressed concern that the current land use designations created uncertainty that directly affected long-term planning and the ability to make full use of the subject lands. A. Woloszczuk stated that the landowners were seeking clarity and a fair, well-supported outcome that balanced broader community objectives with landowner interests. A. Woloszczuk requested that Council not proceed with approval of the Secondary Plan until the outstanding landowner concerns were fully addressed and urged Council to provide direction that would allow the Plan to move forward with greater certainty and without the need for further dispute or procedural challenge. 3.12 Carmen Lishman, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 C. Lishman, Pickering Resident, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. C. Lishman stated that the proposed urban expansion would require extensive new infrastructure, including roads, water and wastewater systems, schools, fire stations, and transit, with costs ultimately borne by residents. C. Lishman expressed that the anticipated short-term revenue from development would not offset the long-term infrastructure and maintenance costs and would place a financial burden on current and future taxpayers. C. Lishman raised that significant serviced lands remained available elsewhere in Pickering, including in Seaton, and that advancing development in Northeast Pickering represented an unnecessary financial risk. C. Lishman questioned whether Council had been provided with full lifecycle cost projections for maintaining the proposed infrastructure over the long term. C. Lishman also expressed concern regarding the - 61 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 9 permanent loss of Class 1 agricultural land, noting that such land was a finite and irreplaceable resource and that urban sprawl continued to result in the daily loss of farmland in Ontario. C. Lishman stated that compact, transit oriented development within existing urban boundaries would be both fiscally and environmentally more responsible. C. Lishman urged Council to reject the proposal and protect the City’s tax base and agricultural lands. 3.13 Andrew McCammon, The Ontario Headwaters Institute Re: Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 A. McCammon, The Ontario Headwaters Institute, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, A. McCammon advised that although not a resident of Pickering, the organization had been involved in watershed and land-use planning matters in Durham Region for several years and worked closely with local environmental and community organizations. A. McCammon stated that none of the Institute’s partner organizations had supported the proposal and expressed concern that the Plan was not ready for approval due to unresolved issues related to agriculture, flooding, taxation impacts, and watershed protection. A. McCammon stated that long-standing concerns regarding protection of water resources and natural heritage systems remained inadequately addressed. A. McCammon emphasized the importance of planning at a watershed scale and noted that provincial policy required municipalities to protect, improve, and restore the quality and quantity of water. A. McCammon raised that sufficient safeguards had not yet been established to prevent long-term impacts on water systems, including stormwater management and cumulative environmental effects. A. McCammon recommended that the Plan be withdrawn and revisited and further suggested that future versions should include a commitment to retaining a significant portion of the lands in natural heritage, reinforcing adherence to Provincial Planning Statement policies related to water protection, and establishing a framework for cumulative environmental monitoring with benchmarks established prior to development. A. McCammon urged Council to defer approval of the Plan and to prioritize the protection of agricultural land, natural heritage, and water resources. 3.14 Nicholas Zamora, President and James Grundy, Treasurer, Greenwood Community Association Re: Report PLN 04-26 - 62 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 10 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 N. Zamora, President and J. Grundy, Treasurer, Greenwood Community Association, appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. They stated that the Plan was being advanced without completed environmental and fiscal studies required to support an informed decision and that approving the Plan at this stage was premature, inconsistent with the Planning Act, and contrary to proper planning sequence. They identified protection of groundwater and private wells, protection of Duffins Creek and Carruthers Creek, and long-term affordability as key unresolved concerns, and advised that hydrogeological, watershed, fiscal impact, and servicing studies should guide the Plan rather than follow approval. They urged Council to require completion of outstanding studies prior to adoption and to refrain from approving the Plan at this time. They stated that the primary concern related to water resources and protection of private wells and requested that proposed mitigation language be expanded to include Staxton Glen. They advised that mitigation would be insufficient where aquifers were damaged or wells ran dry and requested that policy language require the provision of municipal water, at no cost to residents, should studies conclude that development would likely damage aquifers serving Greenwood, Kinsale, or Staxton Glen. 4. Matters for Consideration 4.1 Director, City Development & CBO, Report PLN 04-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-003P City-Initiated Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan Updated Staff Report: Responses and Revisions to Report PLN 03-26 P. Lowes, Principal, SGL Planning & Design Inc., appeared before Council via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 04-26. P. Lowes advised that they had been retained to assist the City with preparation of the Secondary Plan and provided an overview of comments received since the previous meeting and revisions made to the Plan. P. Lowes stated that feedback from Council, staff, and the public had highlighted concerns related to the location of community facilities, protection of natural heritage features, loss of agricultural lands, impacts on private wells, infrastructure staging, and the timing of development applications. P. Lowes noted that revisions to the land use schedules included adjustments to the location of the proposed Sportsplex and Community Park to better align with infrastructure phasing and environmental constraints and advised that policies had been added to - 63 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 11 clarify that the locations of parks and community facilities shown on the schedules were conceptual and that final locations would be determined through future neighbourhood planning processes with public consultation. P. Lowes further noted that refinements had been made to the Natural Heritage System to reflect existing conditions, subject to further field evaluation through subsequent studies and outlined additional policy changes, including the introduction of a General Employment designation on specific lands, clarification regarding affordable housing provisions, revisions to cost-sharing requirements among landowners, and updates to implementation policies outlining when development applications could proceed and what studies would be required. P. Lowes advised that further work remained to be completed, including the Master Environmental Servicing Plan, neighbourhood plans, Phase 3 of the Scoped Subwatershed Study, continued consultation with First Nations, and engagement with residents of Greenwood and Kinsale to address concerns related to rural character and protection of private wells. P. Lowes concluded by noting that the Secondary Plan represented an initial framework for long-term planning and that subsequent stages would provide additional detail and technical refinement. A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council, staff, P. Lowes regarding: • whether the archaeological assessment referenced in the Report, initiated in July 2022 and completed in December 2022, remained current and appropriate for reliance at this stage of the process, and how that study had informed the Secondary Plan; • clarification regarding the scope of the archaeological assessment completed to date, including whether it constituted a comprehensive assessment or a high level review and when additional, more detailed archaeological studies would be required; • whether correspondence from Alderville First Nation regarding archaeological matters would necessitate further studies and how that issue would be addressed through future planning stages; • how public notice was circulated for the Secondary Plan, including whether the 150 metre radius notification was sufficient in rural areas and whether the radius could be expanded to improve public awareness; • whether larger notification radius mailouts had been used elsewhere in rural planning applications and how expanded notice could be implemented for future stages of the Northeast Pickering planning process; • whether study requests raised by public delegations, including hydrology and environmental studies, would be formally incorporated into the approval - 64 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 12 process; • which technical studies remained and when those studies were expected to be initiated and completed; • how outstanding environmental, stormwater, and fiscal concerns raised by delegations would be addressed through the remaining study work identified in the report; • clarification regarding the reference to special area rate levies in the report, including which Ontario municipalities had implemented such levies and whether any future levy would apply only to properties within the Northeast Pickering area; • whether the proposed approach to funding growth related infrastructure would ensure that existing residents outside the Secondary Plan area would not bear those costs; • whether the identification of future recreation facilities and library branches was subject to change, and how those recommendations were informed by the City’s Parks and Recreation 10 Year Plan; • how future recreation and library needs could evolve through subsequent neighbourhood planning and further community engagement as development proceeded toward the 2051 horizon; • whether any development would be permitted within wetlands or other natural heritage features and how such features would be protected through future planning and permitting processes; • how stormwater would be managed to ensure that post development runoff volumes would not exceed existing conditions and whether development in Northeast Pickering would worsen downstream flooding in Ajax; • whether remediation would be required if natural heritage features were damaged and how compliance would be ensured; • whether groundwater studies would be undertaken to assess potential impacts to private wells in Greenwood and surrounding communities and how monitoring programs would detect and respond to any impacts; • how impacts to shallow and deep aquifers would be monitored over time and whether mitigation measures would be implemented if groundwater impacts were identified; • clarification regarding the use of holding provisions, including whether an H holding provision could be applied at the Secondary Plan stage and how study completion would be enforced prior to development applications; • whether the Secondary Plan was consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, Envision Durham Official Plan, and Pickering Official Plan, given concerns raised by several delegations; • how growth related infrastructure would be funded through development - 65 - Special Council Meeting Minutes March 30, 2026 13 charges, assessment growth, user fees, and community benefit charges, and whether senior government funding opportunities would be pursued; • whether concerns raised by Members regarding natural heritage systems, stormwater, flooding, endangered species, farmland protection, and Indigenous consultation had been fully addressed to date; and, • when outstanding responses to previously raised concerns would be provided to Members prior to Council’s further consideration of the matter.

Carried on a Two-Thirds Vote 3.1 Cheyenne Zierler, Shared Tower Inc. Re: Report PLN 06-26 Proposed Telecommunication Tower Shared Tower Inc. 1400 Church Street Installation #75 C. Zierler, Shared Tower Inc., appeared before Members of the Committee via electronic connection to speak to Report PLN 06-26. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, C. Zierler explained that Shared Tower Inc. designed and built telecommunication infrastructure that could be shared by multiple wireless carriers, with the objective of reducing the overall number of towers required while improving network coverage and capacity. C. Zierler advised that wireless infrastructure supported everyday uses such as calls, texting, and streaming, and critical services including emergency response, medical alert systems, GPS, and virtual learning. C. Zierler stated that increased device usage and continued development in the area had created capacity and coverage gaps that could not be addressed through existing infrastructure. C. Zierler described the proposal as a 25- metre monopole tower, selected following discussions with service providers and a review of network requirements, site conditions, and opportunities for future co- location. C. Zierler noted that existing towers in the area were located approximately 1.5 to 2 kilometres away and could not accommodate additional equipment due to elevation and compound space constraints. C. Zierler advised that visual renderings had been prepared from surrounding streets and that the design and neutral colouring were intended to minimize visual impact and blend with existing utility infrastructure. C. Zierler further stated that the City’s telecommunication protocol had been followed, including public notification within a 150-metre radius, and that comments received regarding need, location, environmental matters, and Safety - 82 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 07, 2026 3 Code 6 had been addressed. C. Zierler stated that they were working to ensure that federal requirements were met and were working with the City to receive a letter of concurrence. A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee and C. Zierler regarding: • whether the subject area for the proposed telecommunication tower would be described as generally an industrial or industrial-commercial area; • whether the proposed tower would be shared with multiple wireless service providers or operate independently for a single carrier; • whether there was existing telecommunication infrastructure in the surrounding area currently providing service to nearby residents; and, • whether co-location between the proposed tower and the existing tower would be feasible if the proposed tower were greater in height or of a different design. 3.2 Matt West, Fieldgate Commercial, Andrew Muscat, Fieldgate Commercial and Constance Ratelle, Korsiak Urban Planning Re: Report PLN 05-26 Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 25-001P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/25 Seaton Commercial Developments Ltd.

Ratelle, Korsiak Urban Planning, appeared before Members of the Committee on behalf of Fieldgate Commercial to speak to Report PLN 05-26. The delegates described the proposal as a local community shopping centre located at the corner of Taunton Road and Brock Road in the Seaton community, comprising approximately 120,000 square feet of commercial floor area. They stated that the primary tenants would include a grocery store and a pharmacy, with additional commercial units intended to serve the surrounding community. The delegates advised that the Seaton area was currently underserved from a retail perspective and that the proposed shopping centre was intended to meet the day-to-day needs of local residents as the community continued to grow. They stated that the development represented a typical community-scale retail plaza designed to support existing and future residents in the area. A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee and M. - 83 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 07, 2026 4 West, A. Muscat, and C. Ratelle regarding: • whether the entrances to the proposed commercial buildings had been modified and where the building entrances would be located; • whether any building entrances were proposed to face Taunton Road or Burkholder Drive, or whether all entrances would face internally toward the parking area; • whether the lack of building entrances along Taunton Road and Burkholder Drive was due to traffic conditions and grade changes on the site; • when construction of the proposed commercial development was anticipated to commence; • when the proposed shopping centre was expected to be completed and opened to the public; • whether the identity of the proposed grocery store tenant was public at this time; • whether there were two right-in/right-out vehicular access points on Taunton Road and whether additional truck and customer access was proposed from Burkholder Drive; and, • how vehicular access to the site would function. 3.3 Rob MacFarlane, Senior Associate, Zelinka Priamo Ltd. and Gabe Ciconni, Director of Development & Construction, Cogir Commercial Management LP Re: Report PLN 07-26 Official Plan Amendment OPA 22-002P Zoning By-law Amendment A 05/22 Pickering Ridge Lands Inc. 1755 Pickering Parkway R. MacFarlane, Senior Associate, Zelinka Priamo Ltd. and G. Ciconni, Director of Development & Construction, Cogir Commercial Management LP, appeared before Members of the Committee to speak to Report PLN 07-26. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, the delegates described the subject lands as an evolving commercial node, currently developed with multiple commercial uses and surrounded by a mix of commercial, residential, and industrial lands. They stated that the proposal included a site-specific Official Plan amendment and Zoning By- law amendment to permit a comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment over several phases and many years. The delegates advised that the proposal contemplated building heights ranging from approximately 12 to 36 storeys and would include residential, office, and retail uses, including requirements for retail replacement and - 84 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 07, 2026 5 office space. They stated that the development would introduce a centrally located public park comprising approximately 15 percent of the site area, to be conveyed to and operated by the City. The delegates explained that the first phase would include a podium-based development with residential towers and a minimum amount of non-residential retail space. The delegates further noted that the proposal had been coordinated with City staff and school boards and incorporated appropriate parking and active transportation considerations. A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee and R. MacFarlane and G. Ciconni regarding: • whether the delegates could provide a general timeline for the proposed development, including phase one and the anticipated duration of the full build-out, and whether the project represented a long-term vision of approximately 20 years or more; • whether the phasing strategy was designed to build upon itself in a manner that would avoid stalled development and ensure each phase functioned independently as the community evolved; • whether the affordable housing commitment identified in the proposal was a mandated requirement or a voluntary commitment by the developer; • whether the identified affordable housing units would be distributed throughout all phases of the development or concentrated within a single phase or building; • whether the proposed residential units would include rental tenure, ownership tenure, or a mix of both over the course of the development; • how existing commercial tenants currently operating on the site would be accommodated during redevelopment; • what phase public parkland would be introduced within the development and whether any parkland would be delivered prior to full build-out of the site; • whether smaller publicly accessible open spaces would be provided in early phases in advance of the larger central public park; • what Privately Owned Publicly Accessible Park Spaces (POPs) were and how they would function in comparison to City-owned parkland; • what types of community facilities were contemplated by the zoning permissions and whether these facilities were related to POPs or represented separate community uses; • whether lands had been identified or reserved for potential future school facilities and how school accommodation would be addressed given the long- term phasing of the development; • whether the developer had engaged or intended to engage partners or - 85 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 07, 2026 6 organizations to deliver affordable housing and how affordability might be achieved over time; • what the developer’s position was with respect to development charges and whether any discussions had occurred regarding potential development charge abatements related to affordable housing; and, • whether provisions for a dog park or similar amenity had been considered as part of the parkland strategy for the development. 3.4 Diluxhan Parim, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 05-26 Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 25-001P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/25 Seaton Commercial Developments Ltd. South of Taunton Road, between Burkholder Drive and Peter Matthews Drive D. Parim, Pickering Resident, appeared before Members of the Committee to speak to Report PLN 05-26. D. Parim expressed general support for the development and noted that the community was in need of additional retail services, however, concerns were raised regarding traffic safety and access to the site. D. Parim advised that the Burkholder Drive area already experienced traffic congestion and a history of collisions and expressed concern that proposed southbound left- turn movements into the plaza could negatively affect traffic flow, particularly during peak periods. D. Parim raised concerns regarding drive-through uses and potential queuing impacts near site entrances and further concern regarding truck access along Burkholder Drive, particularly near the gas line corridor, and noted that large vehicles turning into the site could obstruct traffic between Dragonfly Avenue and Belcourt Street. D. Parim also noted that the draft plans did not identify the location of a flagpole and inquired whether the installation of a Canadian flag was being considered. D. Parim concluded by requesting careful consideration of traffic and safety impacts. 3.5 Andre De Freitas, Pickering Resident Re: Report PLN 05-26 Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 25-001P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/25 Seaton Commercial Developments Ltd. South of Taunton Road, between Burkholder Drive and Peter Matthews Drive A. De Freitas, Pickering Resident, appeared before Members of the Committee to speak to Report PLN 05-26. A. De Freitas expressed appreciation for the - 86 - Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes April 07, 2026 7 development and acknowledged that the plaza would serve not only Seaton residents but also the broader surrounding community. A. De Freitas raised concerns regarding increased traffic volumes, existing congestion, and historical collision issues in the area, particularly along Burkholder Drive. A. De Freitas stated that the introduction of truck traffic and left-turn movements into the plaza could exacerbate safety concerns, especially given the proximity of schools and ongoing population growth. A. De Freitas questioned whether there were plans to widen Burkholder Drive or to consider alternative access arrangements, such as right-turn- only access into the plaza, in order to reduce traffic conflicts. A. De Freitas expressed concern regarding uncertainty around future development of adjacent lands and how cumulative impacts would be addressed. A. De Freitas emphasized support for the project while urging careful consideration of traffic safety and long- term planning impacts. 4.

Clerk Attention: Councillor Maurice Brenner, Regional Councillor, Ward 1 (for advocacy and Council correspondence placement) Re: Request for Inclusion in Council Correspondence Index — Support for CWELCC Funding for a New 150-Space Licensed Child Care Centre at 1635 Bayly Street, Unit G, Pickering PURPOSE OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE We respectfully request that this letter and the accompanying Briefing Note be placed on the Council Correspondence Index (CII) for the Council Meeting scheduled for March 23, 2026, so that Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner may formally introduce and advocate for this matter before Pickering City Council. We further request that Council adopt a resolution urging the Province of Ontario, through the Ministry of Education, to prioritize and approve Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) funding for our newly approved 150-space licensed child care centre. WHO WE ARE Khushbu Patwa and Vishal Patwa are the Directors of The Stemisphere Childcare Academy, a purpose-built, fully licensed child care centre located at 1635 Bayly Street, Unit G, Pickering, ON L1W 3N2. On December 22, 2025, we received Floor Plan and Site Plan Approval in Principle from the Ontario Ministry of Education (Child Care Branch) under Section 14 of O. Reg. 137/15 of the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 — confirming our regulatory readiness for a facility serving up to 150 children across nine classrooms, three outdoor playground areas, and dedicated infant sleep quarters. Ministry Approval in Principle (Dec 22, 2025): 9 Classrooms | 150 Children | 30 Estimated Employees | 3 Playground Areas | Infant Sleep Area THE CRITICAL CHILDCARE SHORTAGE IN PICKERING Pickering and the broader Durham Region are experiencing a severe and well-documented shortage of licensed, affordable child care spaces. Research of existing licensed facilities in the area reveals the following crisis indicators: •Waitlists of 200–400+ families at existing Pickering-area centres •Wait times extending up to 3 years for available infant and toddler spots •Families driving 30+ minutes outside the municipality to access care •Working parents — disproportionately mothers — reducing hours or exiting the workforce entirely due to inaccessible care •Durham Region received zero new community-based CWELCC growth spaces in 2025 from the Ministry; 489 spaces are allocated for 2026 — far below the documented demand This shortage directly impedes economic participation, family wellbeing, and workforce recovery across Pickering. Return-to-workplace mandates across major employers have intensified demand at precisely the time supply remains critically constrained. Corr. 05-26 - 91 - THE STEMISPHERE CHILDCARE ACADEMY 1635 Bayly Street, Unit G, Pickering, ON L1W 3N2 Confidential Correspondence | City of Pickering Clerk's Department | March 2026 THE CWELCC FUNDING IMPERATIVE The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program — jointly funded by the federal and Ontario governments — is designed to make licensed child care affordable for families across the province, with a target average fee of $10/day by 2026. The CWELCC agreement has been extended to December 31, 2026, and fees are currently capped at $22/day for enrolled operators. The difference CWELCC funding makes for Pickering families: WITHOUT CWELCC Funding WITH CWELCC Funding $1,800–$2,200/month per child — inaccessible to most Pickering working families $10–$22/day — equitable access for families across all income levels Licensed capacity underutilized; community need unaddressed 150 families served; 30–40 local jobs created; full operational sustainability COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS Approval of CWELCC funding for this centre will deliver directly to the Pickering community: • 150 new licensed child care spaces across infant, toddler, and preschool age groups • 30–40 new local jobs including Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs), cooks, assistants, and administrative staff • Extended operating hours (7:00 AM – 6:00 PM) aligned with working parents' schedules • Play-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum delivered by qualified RECEs aligned with Ontario's Early Years Framework • Nutritious meals and snacks meeting Canada's Food Guide; safety standards exceeding Ministry requirements • Partnerships with local elementary schools for seamless transitions to kindergarten • ECE practicum placement opportunities for Durham College and Ontario Tech University students • A culturally inclusive environment serving Pickering's diverse community; inclusive programming for children with varied abilities FORMAL REQUEST OF COUNCIL We respectfully request that the City of Pickering Council: 1. Acknowledge the critical and documented shortage of licensed, affordable child care spaces in Pickering; 2. Formally support the establishment and operation of the proposed 150-space Stemisphere Childcare Academy at 1635 Bayly Street, Unit G, Pickering; 3. Adopt a Council Resolution requesting that the Province of Ontario — through the Ministry of Education — prioritize and approve CWELCC funding for this project; and 4. Direct that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Minister of Education and local Members of Provincial Parliament. We request that this correspondence be entered into the Council Information Index (CII) and listed on Councillor Brenner's agenda for the March 23, 2026 Council meeting. We have also requested a meeting with Samantha from the Clerk's office to discuss procedural requirements and have previously communicated with Councillor Brenner's office at 905-420-4605 regarding this matter. CLOSING - 92 - THE STEMISPHERE CHILDCARE ACADEMY 1635 Bayly Street, Unit G, Pickering, ON L1W 3N2 Confidential Correspondence | City of Pickering Clerk's Department | March 2026 We have invested significantly in this facility and in the community it will serve. We have the approved space, the qualified team, and the Ministry's Approval in Principle. What stands between 150 Pickering families and affordable, quality early childhood education is the CWELCC funding mechanism. We are confident that with Council's support, we can secure the provincial commitment that will make this possible. Thank you for your attention and advocacy on behalf of Pickering's families and children.

Background The proponent, Khushbu Patwa and Vishal Patwa, is establishing a new, purpose-built, fully licensed child care centre in Pickering with capacity for up to 150 children, including infant, toddler, and preschool age groups. The project has already received Approval in Principle from the Ministry of Education, demonstrating regulatory readiness and compliance. Pickering, like many fast-growing municipalities in Durham Region, is experiencing a severe shortage of licensed child care spaces. Existing centres report waitlists ranging from 200–400+ families, with wait times extending up to three years. Many families are forced to seek care outside the municipality or reduce workforce participation due to lack of affordable, accessible child care. Community Need and Alignment with Provincial Priorities The proposed centre directly aligns with provincial and municipal objectives, including: •Expansion of licensed child care spaces under the CEWELCC program •Workforce participation and economic recovery •Support for working families, particularly women returning to the workforce •School readiness and early years development Without CEWELCC funding, parent fees would range between $1,800–$2,200 per month, making care inaccessible for most families. With CEWELCC participation, fees can be reduced to approximately $10–$22 per day, ensuring equitable access across income levels. Community Benefits Approval and funding of this project would: •Provide licensed child care for up to 150 Pickering families •Enable sustained workforce participation for parents •Create 30–40 local jobs (RECEs, assistants, cooks, administrators) - 97 - • Support inclusion, diversity, and children with varied abilities • Generate local economic activity and partnerships with schools and colleges Requested Council Action That City Council: 1. Acknowledge the critical shortage of licensed child care spaces in Pickering; 2. Formally support the establishment of the proposed 150-space licensed child care centre; and 3. Request that the Province of Ontario, through the Ministry of Education, prioritize and approve CEWELCC funding for this project. - 98 - Draft Council Resolution Moved by: ____________________ Seconded by: ____________________ WHEREAS The City of Pickering is experiencing a significant shortage of licensed, affordable child care spaces, resulting in long waitlists and barriers to workforce participation for families; and WHEREAS The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CEWELCC) program is intended to expand access to affordable, high-quality licensed child care across Ontario; and WHEREAS A new 150-space licensed child care centre has received Approval in Principle from the Ontario Ministry of Education and is prepared to serve families in Pickering upon receipt of CEWELCC funding; and WHEREAS This project will support economic growth, workforce participation, and early childhood development while creating local employment opportunities; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That the Council of the City of Pickering hereby expresses its formal support for the proposed 150-space licensed child care centre; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That the Council of the City of Pickering requests that the Province of Ontario, through the Ministry of Education, prioritize and approve CEWELCC funding for this project to ensure affordable access for families; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Minister of Education, the local Members of Provincial Parliament, and relevant provincial officials.

The potential elimination of trustees is concerning and represents a significant shift in Ontario’s education governance. Trustees serve as a longstanding, essential democratic link between local communities and the public education system. Any change of this magnitude should not be considered without seeking input through evidence-based research and meaningful public engagement. It is essential that communities have an opportunity to fully understand and respond to the implications of a proposal that would remove school board trustees, which may have unintended negative consequences on the communities that we are elected to serve. We understand you have recently heard from a number of other boards across the province, and we strongly agree with the statement from our colleagues at Avon Maitland DSB that “transparency regarding the rationale, objectives, and anticipated outcomes of this proposal is essential to maintaining public trust and ensuring informed dialogue.” Durham Region includes diverse, urban, suburban, and rural communities, all with vastly varying histories and needs. Local representation ensures the unique needs of each of our communities are considered and met. As a Board of Trustees, we are firmly and proudly Corr. 06-26 - 100 - Durham District School Board 400 Taunton Road East, Whitby, Ontario L1R 2K6 Phone: 905-666-5500; Toll Free: 1-800-265-3968 ddsb.ca @DurhamDistrictSchoolBoard @DDSBSchools committed to promoting meaningful learning, connected communities, and well-being, being responsive to the priorities of the local community in carrying out our duties and responsibilities.

This sub-committee is dedicated to coordinating opportunities for stakeholder and community engagement. Their objective is to engage each of Pickering's cultural communities by showcasing elements of their culture through arts, music, dance, and food to the community at large through new initiatives, activities and partnerships. Members of the PACE sub-committee participated at the Cultural Fusion Festival that took place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, in Esplanade Park and began their new initiative to collect stories from Pickering residents who immigrated/relocated to Pickering called "A People's Journey". This initiative was launched at Cultural Fusion and will continue in 2026 where PACE will re-connect with those residents who provided their stories in 2025 and connect with new residents to build on the collection of stories. PACE will then work with PMV staff on how to share those stories with the community once complete. The CAC also participated at the Cultural Fusion event on Saturday, September 13, 2025, in Esplanade Park. The CAC hosted an information booth and collected feedback from attendees about event satisfaction and suggestions on future activities. The Chair of the CAC also volunteered in the role of master of ceremonies. The CAC was able to connect with dozens of residents, event participants, and visitors. The information obtained from those interactions was forwarded to lead staff for consideration when planning the 2026 event.

That Report CLK 04-26 regarding Municipal Designation for Special Occasion and Bring- Your-Own-Event Permits Policy be received; 2. That the draft ADM 310, Municipal Designation for Special Occasion and Bring-Your-Own Event Permits Policy, included as Attachment 2 to this report be approved; 3. That Council approve the draft By-law to amend the Municipal Fees and Charges By-law, as set out in Attachment 3 to this report; and, 4. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to advise Council of recent legislative changes to “tailgate event” permits under the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019, which, effective April 30, 2026, will be renamed and expanded as Bring-Your-Own (BYO) events. BYO events will apply to public outdoor events where attendees aged 19 and older may bring and consume their own alcohol and the event can be either “sale” or “no-sale” depending on whether alcohol will be sold and served or just served at the event. In order to obtain a BYO permit from the AGCO, applicants must obtain a letter from the municipality in which the event is taking place, designating the event as a cultural or community event. To provide a clear, consistent and transparent framework, staff have developed the Municipal Designation for Special Occasion and Bring‑Your‑Own Event Permits Policy (Attachment #2) which serves to replace the current ADM 180-001 Special Occasion Permits (SOP) - Public Events of Municipal Significance Procedure (Attachment #1). The new Policy consolidates and modernizes the City’s current Procedure for Municipally Significant designations and includes the new provincial regulations pertaining to Cultural or Community event designations, including application requirements, internal circulation, eligibility criteria, and the issuance of - 107 - CLK 04-26 April 27, 2026 Page 2 designation letters to support Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) applications. In addition, this report recommends amending the City’s Municipal Fees and Charges By-law to introduce a $60 user fee for designation letters for cultural or community events, consistent with the existing $60 fee charged for Municipally Significant Event designation letters. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Foster an Engaged & Informed Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no direct financial impacts associated with adopting the Municipal Designation for Special Occasion and Bring-Your-Own Event Permits Policy. To support administration of the designation process, staff recommend amending the Municipal Fees and Charges By-law to add a $60 fee for designation letters for cultural or community events, consistent with the existing $60 fee currently charged for Municipally Significant Event letters. Revenue generated from this fee will offset staff time required to review applications, coordinate internal circulation, and prepare designation letters. 4.0 Discussion: 4.1 Background The purpose of this report is to advise Council of recent legislative changes to “tailgate event” permits under the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019, which, effective April 30, 2026, will be renamed and expanded as Bring-Your-Own (BYO) events. BYO events will apply to public outdoor events where attendees aged 19 and older may bring and consume their own alcohol and the event can be either “sale” or “no-sale” depending on whether alcohol will be sold and served or just served at the event. In order to obtain a BYO permit from the AGCO, applicants must obtain a letter from the municipality in which the event is taking place designating the event as a cultural or community event. The City’s current procedure for Municipally Significant Event designations, ADM 180‑001 - Special Occasion Permits - Public Events of Municipal Significance Procedure, (Attachment #1) was adopted in 2012 under the provisions of the former Liquor Licence Act, which was repealed in 2021 and replaced by the current Liquor Licence and Control Act. The current procedure outlines requirements for Public Event Special Occasion Permits and the need for municipal designation where events are not conducted by registered charities or non‑profit organizations. On October 15, 2012, through Resolution #125/12, Council delegated authority to the City Clerk to consider requests and, where appropriate, deem events as events of municipal significance. This delegation applied to designations required for the former Public Event SOP category. - 108 - CLK 04-26 April 27, 2026 Page 3 On January 13, 2026, the Assistant Deputy Attorney General (ADAG) notified municipalities via a memorandum (Attachment #4) of BYO permit changes under O. Reg. 747/21, including the requirement that Cultural or Community BYO events must receive a municipal designation before an applicant submits an application to the AGCO. These new responsibilities were not contemplated under the current Procedure and necessitated an updated framework. 4.2 Provincial Legislative Changes Under O. Reg. 1/26, which amends O. Reg. 747/21, a “bring‑your‑own event” is defined as a public event that is held at an outdoor premises that is at ground level, a. where the event, i. is held in connection with and in proximity to a professional, semi-professional or post-secondary sporting event, or ii. has been designated by a municipal council or its delegate as a cultural or community event, and b. at which individuals may possess and consume liquor brought to the premises by attendees Effective April 30, 2026, BYO event permits will apply to public outdoor events where individuals aged 19+ may bring their own alcohol. BYO events may be categorized as “sale” or “no‑sale,” depending on whether alcohol is sold. Municipalities must now confirm whether applicable events qualify as Cultural or Community Events before the AGCO can issue a BYO permit. The Assistant Deputy Attorney General (ADAG) memorandum provides examples of eligible events, including outdoor movie nights, street markets, art shows, free concerts, fairs, public performances, neighbourhood tournaments, farmers markets, and international or religious festivals. The AGCO memorandum also clarifies that if a municipality does not designate an event as a Cultural or Community Event, the AGCO cannot issue a Bring‑Your‑Own permit. The designation is entirely at the municipality’s discretion, and there is no obligation to make such a designation. The memorandum further notes that events held on municipal property, such as City parks, remain subject to all applicable municipal approvals and the City’s Municipal Alcohol Policy, and that these legislative changes do not alter those requirements. 4.3 Proposed New Policy The new Municipal Designation for Special Occasion and Bring‑Your‑Own Event Permits Policy represent a comprehensive modernization of the City’s approach to event designation. It consolidates and updates the City’s previous municipally significant event designation procedure (ADM 180‑001). The draft Policy establishes a unified framework for Municipally Significant Events and Cultural or Community Events which ensures consistency in intake, evaluation, internal circulation, - 109 - CLK 04-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 decision-making, and documentation across all event designation requests. The Policy also establishes a transparent set of definitions, criteria, and departmental roles. Under the proposed Policy, applicants must provide a comprehensive application package that includes event details, maps, expected attendance, alcohol service hours, and all required safety and compliance information. In addition to establishing process clarity, the Policy formally incorporates the historical delegated authority granted by Council to the City Clerk on October 15, 2012 (Resolution #125/12), which allowed the Clerk to designate events as municipally significant under the former legislation. This authority is now expanded and explicitly extended to the designation of Cultural or Community Events for BYO Event purposes. This ensures seamless continuity between past and current practices, while also expanding the Clerk's ability to address new provincial requirements. The Policy formalizes a structured interdepartmental review process, requiring circulation to Fire Services, Municipal Law Enforcement, City Development, and Community Services. This ensures the event meets all safety, zoning, By-law, and facility requirements prior to designation. Although not explicitly stated in the current procedure, this review process is consistent with current practices for events requiring a municipally significant designation. Additionally, the Policy directly responds to the provincial direction communicated in the memorandum from the Assistant Deputy Attorney General, which requires municipalities to provide Cultural or Community Event designations prior to AGCO approval of BYO event permits. Lastly, the Policy explicitly notes that municipal designation does not constitute broader approval or authorization of an event. It does not approve alcohol sales, operations, or event logistics, and the City does not assume responsibility for event safety or compliance. Instead, designation solely facilitates the applicant’s AGCO permit application submission. Applicants remain responsible for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and the City’s Municipal Alcohol Management Policy where events take place on City property. This maintains appropriate risk boundaries for the City and ensures applicants remain responsible for meeting all applicable legislative, policy, and operational obligations. In conclusion, adoption of the Municipal Designation for Special Occasion and Bring‑Your‑Own Event Permits Policy will ensure that the City’s processes are fully aligned with recent provincial legislative changes, provide applicants with a clear and consistent framework for obtaining required municipal designations, and maintain the long‑standing delegated authority of the City Clerk to designate events as Municipally Significant, Cultural, or Community Events. The Policy strengthens transparency, supports coordinated interdepartmental review, and enables the City to continue facilitating safe, compliant, and well‑managed public events within the community. - 110 - CLK 04-26 April 27, 2026 Page 5 Attachments: 1.

Reg. 747/21 under the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 (LLCA) will expand eligibility for tailgate event permits to include events that have been municipally-designated as cultural or community events. “Tailgate events” will also be renamed “bring-your-own events”. Tailgate events held in connection with and in proximity to professional, semi-professional or post-secondary sporting events will continue to be eligible events under the bring-your-own permit. All bring-your-own permit events are to remain public outdoor events. As of April 30, 2026, organizations and individuals will be able to apply to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), which administers and regulates liquor licences and permits in the province, for permits to host “bring-your-own events”. The bring-your-own permit is for outdoor public events and can be either “Sale” or “No- Sale” depending on whether alcohol will be sold and served or just served at the event. Attendees aged 19 or older are allowed to bring and consume their own alcohol at all bring-your-own events. This initiative is intended to benefit businesses, organizations, and local tourism by making public events more accessible and encouraging greater community participation. These amendments support Ontario’s ongoing efforts to modernize the legislative and regulatory framework for alcohol, promoting safe and socially responsible recreational opportunities. As municipalities are best positioned to understand local needs and determine how to classify community or cultural events, applicants for a bring-your-own event permit for a cultural or community event must obtain a letter or resolution from the municipality in which the event will take place designating the event as a “cultural, or community event” before submitting their application to the AGCO. …/2 Attachment 4 to Report CLK 04-26 - 126 - - 2 - Examples of outdoor community or cultural events may include, but are not limited to: • outdoor movie screenings, • street markets, • arts and crafts shows, • free outdoor concerts, • fairs, • neighbourhood sports tournaments, • public performances (i.e. theatre), • farmers markets, and • international or religious festivals. If a municipality does not designate an event as a community or cultural event, the AGCO cannot issue a bring-your-own event permit. The designation of an event as “community” or “cultural” is at the municipality’s discretion, there is no obligation to make such a designation. Consistent with other types of outdoor events, event organizers must also provide written notice 30 days before the event to the municipal clerk’s department, and police, fire and public health departments when expecting fewer than 5,000 people per day and 60 days prior to the event if expecting more than 5,000 people. Events held on municipal property (e.g., city parks) remain subject to applicable municipal approvals and alcohol policies, these changes are not intended to alter those requirements. The AGCO will continue to ensure compliance with the LLCA, its regulations, and the AGCO Registrar’s Standards. If you have any questions about these regulatory changes please contact Wendy Chen, Director, Agency and Tribunal Relations Branch at Wendy.Chen@ontario.ca. If you have any questions about AGCO permits and the application process, please contact Ruxandra Ilicea, Senior Eligibility Officer at Ruxandra.Ilicea@agco.ca.

That Report CS 09-26 regarding a Licence Agreement with the Shuttlebug Weavers & Spinners Guild for the Odd Fellows Hall be received; 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Licence Agreement with the Shuttlebug Weavers & Spinners Guild as set out in Attachment 1 to this report, subject to minor revisions acceptable to the Director, Community Services and City Solicitor; and, 3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to execute the licence agreement with the Shuttlebug Weavers & Spinners Guild (“the Guild”) for a term beginning on June 1, 2026, and ending on December 31, 2031. The City of Pickering is committed to maintaining and strengthening its partnership with the Guild and to supporting their contributions to the community by entering into a non‑exclusive five‑year licence agreement. This agreement will permit the use of designated space within Odd Fellows Hall at the Pickering Museum Village for the purpose of operating their community program. The Guild was formerly using space at the Greenwood Community Centre (GWCC) for their activities; however, the GWCC will be decommissioned in July 2026. Odd Fellows Hall proved - 128 - CS 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 2 to be a suitable and desirable replacement space. The Guild is in favour of this licence agreement and agree to abide by the conditions set therein. Staff recommend that a licence agreement be initiated for the Guild to allow the operation of their community program within Odd Fellows Hall at the Pickering Museum Village as outlined in Attachment 1. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Strengthen Existing & Build New Partnerships. 3.0 Financial Implications: Since the Odd Fellows Hall is part of the Pickering Museum Village, and is owned and operated by the City, the maintenance and upkeep of the building is already undertaken by the City. There are no additional costs resulting from the approval of this licence agreement. The Odd Fellows Hall is available for facility rentals at the community group rate of $155.95 for four hours. Based on the licence agreement, with an average use of twice per week, excluding blackout dates, the cost of un-realized revenue to the City is approximately $15,127.15 per year. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to execute the licence agreement with the Guild beginning on June 30, 2026, and ending on December 31, 2031. 4.1 Background on the Guild The Guild grew from the 1960’s efforts of the Green & White Senior Citizens group of Greenwood and Whitevale who obtained a New Horizons grant, collected donations, and fundraised to build an addition on the GWCC. They built shelving, tables, and counters to furnish the space, purchased 20 Dorothy looms and hired instructors to teach spinning and weaving. Over the years, additional floor looms were acquired through donations or purchased using membership fees and fundraising activities. The majority of the Weaver’s looms are Canadian-made, solid hardwood weighing 100 - 600 lbs., and over 25 years of age. They are kept in good working order through regular use and maintenance. The Guild has become a collaborative cultural hub for the regional community of handweavers and spinners, providing access to weaving looms and warping mills, and running regular programs and activities. The lack of space for these types of activities has caused the demise - 129 - CS 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 3 of many similar groups in the area and the Guild have welcomed former members from Whitevale Craftworks (lost space in the Whitevale Community Centre), Scugog Arts (lost space in the police station), Oshawa (lost space in a church at Rossland and Simcoe), Markham Guild Village Crafts, and the Scarborough Treadle Trompers. The Guild have much to share with the Pickering community and will benefit from the continued provision of a visible and accessible space to continue their community program. The Weaver’s working looms, spinning wheels, and artisanal skills in producing handmade textiles conserve and promote local history and heritage. Offering an inclusive and welcoming community program, the Guild are keen to cultivate further opportunities for the creation, education, and enjoyment of fibre arts in Pickering. As a fast-growing age category in Pickering, those aged 55+, are well represented and served by the activities of handweaving and spinning. This artisanal pursuit offers physical, social, emotional, and mental health benefits to participants of all ages and cultures. The cost of membership for the Guild is $50 and open to new registrants. 4.2 Relocation of the Guild Staff began meeting with the Guild in 2024 regarding the space they currently utilize for their activities. These meetings were intended to discuss the decommissioning of GWCC in 2026 and also to discuss the Weaver’s space needs to see if they could be accommodated in a municipal facility. According to the Guild, they had 1,565 square feet of occupied space in the GWCC, plus access to shared spaces like washrooms and the multipurpose room. Several city facilities were considered in early discussions with the Guild; however, there were considerable constraints that were identified by the Guild that limited options. The Guild activities are funded by membership fees ($50 per year per member) which primarily pays for materials and programs. The Guild did not pay any rent for use of the GWCC, and they do not have an ability to pay for a market-rate lease. The Guild also uses large, stationary looms which can weigh up to 600 lbs., and include many moving parts that are fragile. The equipment that the Guild had collected over 50 years had grown to include 20 large floor looms, 4 table looms, sewing machines, a reference library, warping boards, and supplies. Through discussions between City staff and the Guild, the Odd Fellows Hall at the Pickering Museum Village was identified as the best facility for relocation. This space features many desirable elements including: • temperature controlled, secured building; • located within the Hamlet of Greenwood, right across the road from the GWCC; • available parking, with access to public washrooms in the Redman Program Centre; • as the museum is a city facility, snow clearing and building maintenance is already in place; • Odd Fellows Hall has space for limited storage for program supplies; and, • in discussions with museum staff, there are partnership opportunities that would be mutually beneficial to the city and the Guild. Weaving activities can be featured at museum events, and co-developed programs can be offered to residents. - 130 - CS 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 The relocation to the Odd Fellows Hall will result in downsizing the Guild collection and moving to non-exclusive use of space, as Odd Fellows Hall will continue to be used for museum programs and rentals. A grant was provided from the City to the Guild to reduce the cost burden of relocation. 4.3 Licence Agreement The Guild holds monthly board meetings and also hosts some special events like the ‘Shuttlebug Show & Sale’, and potluck social events. These facility uses have been accommodated through facility permits in the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre and are not intended to be part of the Weaver’s use of Odd Fellows Hall provided through the licence agreement. In 2026, the fees for these facility bookings have been fully offset by the community grant program. Staff have consulted with the Guild in the preparation of the draft licence agreement, and they are agreeable to its terms. The licence agreement has been reviewed by a Solicitor from Corporate Services. Staff recommend that a licence agreement be executed with the Guild to permit the operation of their community program within Odd Fellows Hall at the Pickering Museum Village as outlined in Attachment 1. The proposed agreement will be for a term commencing on June 1, 2026, and ending on December 31, 2031. Attachment: 1.

On September 29, 2025, Council approved Report CAO 14-25 (Resolution #828/25) and authorized staff to proceed with the design development and contract document project phases of the Seaton Recreation Complex & Library project, including the retention of a third-party project management consultant to supplement internal resources and support delivery of this large and complex capital project. Council further directed that the external project manager be engaged to support the ongoing design and construction of the project and to identify potential efficiencies and cost savings. 4.2 Project Status The SRCL project is currently in the design development phase, with completion targeted for June 2026. Following this phase, and upon confirmation that the project’s estimated cost remains at or under budget, the project will advance into the preparation of construction documents and procurement for construction, with tender anticipated in early 2027. - 146 - CS 10-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 The current phase is critical in confirming all essential elements of the project scope, coordinating design disciplines, and establishing cost certainty prior to advancing to the next stage of the project. 4.3 Procurement Process Request for Proposal No. RFP2026-3 was advertised on the City’s bids&tenders portal on Thursday, January 15, 2026, and closed Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Eight proponents submitted a proposal. The evaluation committee consisting of staff from Community Services, including the Director, Community Services, and the Director, Finance & Treasurer, reviewed and evaluated the proposals received using criteria outlined in the request for proposal documents. Subject to receipt and approval of all pre-conditions of award required in accordance with the bid document, the top-ranked proposal submitted by Colliers Project Leaders Inc., in the amount of $965,500.00 (net HST) or $1,091,015.00 (HST included), is recommended for approval. 4.4 Role of the Project Management Consultant The external Project Management consultant will provide advisory and support services throughout all remaining phases of the project, including: • final stages of design development; • preparation of contract documents; • procurement and tendering; and, • construction and post-construction. Key responsibilities will include: • budget tracking and financial reporting; • review and validation of project costs; • preparation of meeting minutes and tracking of related action items; • coordination and review of independent cost estimates; • change order review and cost control; • maintaining contract administration logs throughout construction; • schedule monitoring and risk management; and, • identification of efficiencies and cost-saving opportunities. The consultant will work alongside city staff in a support capacity, with final decision-making authority remaining solely with the City. - 147 - CS 10-26 April 27, 2026 Page 5 4.5 Cost Control and Independent Cost Verification Given the scale and financial significance of the SRCL project, robust cost control measures are critical to maintaining alignment with the project budget. As part of this approach, cost estimates will be prepared at various key milestones for the project by A.W. Hooker, the cost consultant engaged through Perkins&Will, and Ingersoll and Associates Inc. engaged through Colliers Project Leaders Inc. These cost estimates will be compared and analyzed for completeness and consistency and reconciled to identify variances and underlying assumptions. This dual-estimate approach provides an important layer of financial due diligence and supports informed decision-making by ensuring that project costs are cross-validated through independent sources. Where discrepancies are identified, adjustments and value optimization measures can be implemented early, reducing the risk of cost escalation in later phases of the project. 4.6 Importance of External Project Management Support The SRCL project represents one of the largest and most complex capital projects undertaken by the City and carries significant financial implications, including impacts on debt financing and property taxes. In this context, the engagement of an experienced external Project Management consultant is essential to: • strengthen financial oversight and cost control; • provide independent verification of project costs; • support proactive risk management; • improve coordination across multiple disciplines; • identify opportunities for efficiencies and cost savings; and, • ensure project management support is available for city staff. Colliers Project Leaders Inc. has demonstrated extensive experience managing large-scale municipal and institutional projects of similar size and complexity. Their expertise in project delivery, cost management, and construction administration services will provide valuable support to the City throughout the remaining phases of the project. The inclusion of external project management support is consistent with Council direction and represents a key measure to help ensure the successful delivery of the SRCL project within the approved scope, schedule, and budget. - 148 - CS 10-26 April 27, 2026 Page 6 Attachments: None.

Funding Sources for the Construction Phase The construction of the Civic Complex infrastructure renewal projects will be tendered following the design process, and the award of construction is subject to Council approval. The estimated construction budget and funding sources are outlined in the table below. Construction of the central tower renewal, generator replacement and parking garage will be completed before the building envelope. Construction is expected to begin in 2027, subject to Council and budget approval. Scope Area Estimated Total Budget Funding Sources Central Tower Renewal $5,939,000 Various Reserves: $5,939,000 Generator Replacement $2,102,000 Property Taxes: $60,000 Various Reserves: $2,042,000 - 152 - CS 12-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 Underground Parking Garage & Building Envelope $11,430,000 Casino Reserve: $4,115,000 External Debt: $7,315,000 All values are shown in 2026 dollars. Of the estimated total budget, $8,521,000 has been approved in previous capital budgets. $10,950,000 of the estimated total project budget has been included in the budget forecast and is subject to budget approval. Values may be subject to inflation adjustments for future budgets. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to award Request for Proposal No. RFP2026-1 for Consulting Services for the Pickering Civic Complex Renewal. This consulting work includes site investigation, design, preparation of construction documents, and construction contract administration for infrastructure renewal at the Civic Complex. 4.1 Project Summary a. Central Tower The first and most prominent work area involves restoration of the central tower, primarily focusing on its exterior envelope, but also including limited interior work and mechanical equipment replacement. Comprehensive condition assessments of the Civic Complex by Tacoma Engineers Inc. began in 2020. Their reviews recommended that the steel framing of the central tower be reviewed annually. Follow up reviews were completed as recommended. The 2024 review concluded that the restoration of the tower frame requires the removal and replacement of all the inset glazing panels, and a comprehensive update of all elements of the tower, including the glazing, roofing, flashing and mechanical clock elements. Loose paint is to be removed, and all exposed steel recoated. Localized replacement of degraded components may be required. All inactive mechanical ductwork and hangers are to be removed. Ongoing leaks in the east side meeting room will be addressed. This work was recommended to be completed by 2027. Within the tower, mechanical upgrades will be implemented to complement the existing heating system, as the current heating system lacks backup capabilities. b. Underground Parking Garage The second scope of work involves restoration of the underground parking and foundation waterproofing. A building condition assessment report, conducted by RJC Engineers in 2023, reviewed the below-grade parking level and building envelope (cladding, glazing, roofing). This report concluded that active water infiltration and leaks are present at multiple locations. Water is collecting and ponding at various points, areas of the garage flooring are cracked and deteriorated, and various drains were deteriorated or had failed. Associated repair and rehabilitation work was recommended to be completed by 2025. It is worth noting that the parking garage and related basement areas extend beyond the above-ground portions of the building, meaning that several surface areas with unit pavers will likely also require replacement as part of this scope of work. - 153 - CS 12-26 April 27, 2026 Page 5 c. Generator Replacement The third scope of work is for replacement of the facility’s existing backup generator system, which is nearing end of life. It is also at capacity and lacks any potential for future needs. The existing generator is 175 kw and was adequately sized when the Civic Complex was open in 1990, when its function was strictly limited to life safety systems. Over recent years, additional systems have been placed on backup power, causing demand load to approach safe design limits. Its original capacity was also designed at a time when personal computers were still being introduced in office environments, compared to today’s heavy use and reliance upon digital technology. Loss of backup power now severely impacts City operations, including information technology equipment and systems, requiring a much larger generator capacity. The Civic Complex is also the City’s emergency response command center, which requires reliable backup power. The first three scopes of work, described above, are anticipated to be tendered with related contract administration fees already included in the award of the consulting contracts. Where additional phased construction may be required, including for the building envelope work noted below, contract administration fees for those phases will be included in their respective and separate approvals. d. Building Envelope A fourth scope of work involves renewal of the building envelope, also reviewed as part of the 2023 RJC Engineers report. It concluded that the following are required to be replaced: • exterior sealants; • insulated glass units; • windows, curtainwall; • doors, sloped roofing, and, • clerestory glazing above metal roofs. The report also recommended evaluation of the Civic Complex masonry systems and leaks in the library area. This work was recommended to be completed between 2023 and 2028. Design for this work has been included in RFP2026-1 to ensure fulsome consideration of all related details. Construction is expected to proceed separately, after the first three scopes of work are complete. Deferring this broad scope of work in this way will help manage use of limited capital funds and avoid selective trades competing for access to the same work areas at the same time during construction. 4.2 Procurement Process Request for Proposal No. RFP2026-1 was advertised on the City’s Bids & Tenders portal on January 9, 2026, and closed on February 10, 2026. Six proponents submitted proposals. The evaluation committee, consisting of staff from Community Services, reviewed and evaluated the proposals received using criteria outlined in the request for proposal documents. - 154 - CS 12-26 April 27, 2026 Page 6 Subject to receipt and approval of all pre-conditions of award required in accordance with the bid document, the top-ranked proposal submitted by Salter Pilon Architecture Inc. in the amount of $1,269,456.00 (net HST) or $1,409,675.00 (HST included), is recommended for approval. The total gross project cost is estimated to be $1,744,579.00 (HST included), and the total net project cost is estimated at $1,571,047.00 (net of HST rebate). Attachment: None.

That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek approval from Council to execute a Draft Licence Agreement with Open Studio Art Café (OSAC), located at 617 Liverpool Road, to operate a seasonal patio on the City owned boulevard in front of the establishment. A seasonal patio has been approved annually at this location from 2020 through to 2022, under the City’s Temporary Patio Program during the pandemic when restrictions for restaurants were implemented. The Temporary Patio Program has since ended; however, OSAC has continued to operate a seasonal patio on the City’s boulevard through annual Licence Agreements approved by Council. - 156 - ECD 02-26 April 27, 2026 Page 2 The request for the seasonal patio in 2026 is in the same location as previous years and would continue to be subject to the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code, the Ontario Building Code, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, and all Provincial and Regional Health Department regulations. The seasonal patio has previously operated without enforcement concerns, safety incidents, or accessibility complaints. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Champion Economic Leadership and Innovation; and Strengthen Existing & Build New Partnerships. 3.0 Financial Implications: A one-time fee of $500.00 plus HST will be payable to the City by OSAC, as a term of the Licence Agreement. No additional financial implications will be associated with this Licence Agreement. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek approval from Council to execute a Draft Licence Agreement with Open Studio Art Café (OSAC), located at 617 Liverpool Road, to operate a seasonal patio on the City owned boulevard in front of the establishment. Seasonal patios are recognized as a contributing element for community vibrancy and enhanced visitor experience in tourism related areas of the City. For the seventh consecutive year, OSAC is requesting permission to operate a temporary seasonal patio on the City owned boulevard in front of the establishment. Consistent with City practice, this seasonal patio permit continues to be reviewed annually to ensure alignment with operational, accessibility, and maintenance requirements. The OSAC seasonal patio is subject to terms which restrict patio patrons movements to within the identified boundary of the seasonal patio and restricts amplified music after 9:00 pm and does not permit any form of outdoor cooking. City staff in Fire Services, Municipal Law Enforcement, and Building Services have considered this request, and have no objection to the identified location as there have been no enforcement concerns, safety incidents, or accessibility complaints at this location. The term of the Licence Agreement is from May 1, 2026 to November 30, 2026. The seasonal patio must be removed at the end of the term to accommodate City winter maintenance. Compliance with the Ontario Building Code, Ontario Fire Code, the Accessibility for Ontarians - 157 - ECD 02-26 April 27, 2026 Page 3 with Disability Act, applicable Municipal By-laws and current Provincial and Region of Durham Health & Safety criteria must be maintained at all times, all of which are subject to inspection without notice. Staff recommends the City enter into a Licence Agreement (see attached Draft Licence Agreement) with OSAC for the temporary use of the City owned boulevard, as indicated in the site drawing (see Location Map, Attachment 1 – Schedule “A”). Any future requests for use of the City’s boulevard for seasonal patio use will be reviewed on an annual basis and brought to Council for their consideration. Attachment: 1.

That Report FIN 04-26 regarding the 2026 tax rates and final tax due dates be received; 2. That the 2026 tax rates for the City of Pickering be approved as contained in Schedule "A” of the By-law attached hereto; 3. That the tax levy due dates for the Final Billing for all taxable and PIL properties be June 25, 2026 and September 25, 2026; 4. That the attached By-law be approved; 5. That the Director, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to make any changes or undertake any actions necessary to comply with provincial regulations including altering due dates or final tax rates to ensure that the property tax billing process is completed; and, 6. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to approve the tax rates required to raise the levy approved in the 2026 Current Budget and to levy taxes for School Boards and for the Region of Durham. The report also sets the property tax final due dates for all property classes. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan to Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community and Foster an Engaged & Informed Community. - 170 - FIN 04-26 April 27, 2026 Page 2 3.0 Financial Implications: Adoption of the Recommendations and enacting the By-law will allow the City to bill the Final 2026 levy for all properties. Passing of the By-law will assist the City of Pickering in meeting its financial obligations and reducing any borrowing costs. This levy also raises taxes for the Region of Durham and the School Boards. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to approve the tax rates required to raise the levy approved in the 2026 Current Budget and to levy taxes for School Boards and for the Region of Durham. The report also sets the property tax final due dates for all property classes. 4.1 City’s Net Tax Levy and Tax Rate Increase The City’s approved 2026 Budget provided for a property tax levy increase of 3.49% over last year which translates into a 1.06% increase in the City’s share of the total residential property tax bill. This increase when combined with the Region and the School Boards increase results at an average of 3.81% on the total residential property tax bill. The total average commercial increase is 2.74% and the total average industrial increase is 3.03%. The reason that the commercial and industrial increases are less than the total average residential increase is due to fact that the education share (which did not have a tax increase) of property taxes is substantially higher for these two tax classes. The City’s approved 2026 Budget levy of $101,130,740 plus assessment growth of $3,466,267 translates into a total property tax levy of $104,597,007. The property tax rates are calculated based on the budgets of both Pickering and Durham Region. The tax rate itself is defined under section 306 of the Municipal Act, and it is to be calculated to eight decimal points. 4.2 Communication Strategy In addition to mailing the tax bills, the City will advertise the tax instalment due dates on the City’s webpage, various social media outlets as well as any other communication channels deemed appropriate by the Director, Finance & Treasurer, prior to each tax due date.

That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to award Request for Tender No. T2026-2 for Asphalt Resurfacing on Various City Streets to Viola Management Inc. As part of the 2026 City Infrastructure Roads Capital Budget, the following 12 locations were approved for Asphalt resurfacing: • Creekview Circle - from Creekview Circle to Petticoat Lane • Mountcastle Crescent - from Huntsmill Drive (north leg) to 450m East of Huntsmill Drive • Fawndale Road - from Riverview Crescent to 60m North of Gwendolyn Street • Ariel Crecent - from Amberlea Road to Highview Road • Oberon Court - from Ariel Crecent to North Terminus • Charnwood Court - from Rosebank Road to East Terminus • Silverthorn Square - from Dixie Road to Deerbrook Drive • Poprad Avenue – from Tatra Drive to West Terminus • Drava Street – from Reytan Boulevard to Sandy Beach Road • Waterford Gate - from 210m West of Altona Road to Altona Road • Pine Grove Avenue - from Oakburn Street to Altona Road • Somergrove Crescent - from Major Oaks Road to Major Oaks Road Joseph Street was reconstructed in 2025 and the surface lift of asphalt from Old Brock Road to Franklin Street was included in the 2026 Roads Projects Capital Budget. This work was included in Request for Tender No. T2026-2 due to similarity in scope. The urbanization of the cul-de-sac at the north end of Dunn Crescent was included in the 2025 Roads Projects Capital Budget. The scope includes installation of curb and gutter, resurfacing to adjust grades, extension of existing sidewalk and driveway / boulevard restoration. This work was included in Request for Tender No. T2026-2 due to similarity in scope. During the investigation stage of the project, staff identified concerns with the condition of the existing storm sewer along Poprad Avenue. Moderate to severe structural cracking including a fracture hinge were identified during video inspection. This condition increases the risk of - 177 - INF 07-26 April 27, 2026 Page 3 further damage during construction activities, including exposure to heavy live loads and compaction equipment. As a result, Poprad Avenue was removed from the 2026 asphalt resurfacing program. Further investigation will be required to determine the appropriate rehabilitation or reconstruction strategies. Drava Street has also been removed from the 2026 asphalt resurfacing program due to its proximity to both the Sandy Beach Road Project and Krosno Creek Culvert Replacements Project (Morden Lane, Reytan Boulevard and Alyssum Street). Access to this road will be limited and there is risk of overlapping work zones, conflicts with equipment maneuverability and increased resident impacts. When Drava Street was included in the City’s Capital Forecast in 2025, this conflict was unforeseen because of the expedited Sandy Beach Road rehabilitation project driven by the OPG refurbishment. Once the Sandy Beach Road work is complete in 2026, Drava Street can be re-budgeted in 2027. As a result of these exclusions in Ward 2, three additional roads within Ward 2 were added to the tender as provisional locations. These locations were identified through pavement condition inspections and the City’s Roads Needs Study. The proposed roads as identified in recommendation 4d. are as follows: • Honeywood Crescent from Deerbrook Drive to Deerbrook Drive • Ilona Park Road from Liverpool Road to Liverpool Road • Fairview Avenue from Douglas Avenue to 200m southwest of Douglas Avenue The candidates were selected based on estimated costs not exceeding the combined costs of the removed locations (Poprad Avenue and Drava Street). Request for Tender No. T2026‑2 was advertised on the City’s bids&tenders portal on April 8, 2026, and closed on April 21, 2026, with three pre‑qualified contractors submitting bids. The lowest compliant bid submitted by Viola Management Inc. in the amount of $2,764,939.00 (net HST) or $3,070,343.00 (HST included), is recommended for approval. The total gross project cost is estimated to be $3,591,167.00 (HST included), and the total net project cost is estimated at $3,233,957.00 (net of HST rebate). 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community. - 178 - INF 07-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 3.0 Financial Implications: 3.1 Tender Amount Tender T2026-2 $2,717,118.00 HST (13%) 353,225.00 Total Gross Tender Cost HST Rebate (11.24%) Total Net Tender Cost $3,070,343.00 (305,404.00) $2,764,939.00 3.2 Estimated Project Costing Summary Tender No. T2026-2 $2,717,118.00 Geotechnical Investigation Reports 48,520.00 Materials Testing Provincial Building Faster Fund (BFF) Sponsor Signage 81,986.00 2,173.00 Canada Community Building (CCBF) Sponsor Signage Contingency (12%) 2,173.00 $326,054.00 Total Project Cost 3,178,024.00 HST (13%) 413,143.00 Total Gross Project Costs $3,591,167.00 HST Rebate (11.24%) (357,210.00) Total Net Project Cost $3,233,957.00 - 179 - INF 07-26 April 27, 2026 Page 5 3.3 Approved Source of Funds – City Infrastructure Capital Budget Expenditure Account Location Source of Funds Funds Available Funds Required C10365.2602 Creekview Circle Roads & Bridges RF $415,000.00 $206,656.00 C10365.2605 Mountcastle Cres.

As part of the 2026 City Infrastructure Roads Capital Budget, the following asphalt resurfacing locations were approved as construction projects: • Creekview Circle from Creekview Circle to Petticoat Lane • Mountcastle Crescent from Huntsmill Drive (north leg) to 450m East of Huntsmill Drive • Fawndale Road from Riverview Crescent to 60m North of Gwendolyn Street • Ariel Crecent from Amberlea Road to Highview Road • Oberon Court from Ariel Crecent to North Terminus • Charnwood Court from Rosebank Road to East Terminus • Silverthorn Square from Dixie Road to Deerbrook Drive • Poprad Avenue from Tatra Drive to West Terminus • Drava Street from Reytan Boulevard to Sandy Beach Road • Waterford Gate from 210m West of Altona Road to Altona Road • Pine Grove Avenue from Oakburn Street to Altona Road • Somergrove Crescent from Major Oaks Road to Major Oaks Road These streets are indicated in the 2016 Road Needs Study as priority streets for asphalt resurfacing. Joseph Street was reconstructed in 2025 and the surface lift of asphalt from Old Brock Road to Franklin Street was included in the 2026 Roads Projects Capital Budget. This work was included in Request for Tender No. T2026-2 due to similarity in scope.

This work was included in Request for Tender No. T2026-2 due to similarity in scope. During the investigation stage of the project, staff identified concerns with the condition of the existing storm sewer along Poprad Avenue. Moderate to severe structural cracking including a fracture hinge were identified during video inspection. This condition increases the risk of further damage during construction activities, including exposure to heavy live loads and compaction equipment. As a result, Poprad Avenue was removed from the 2026 asphalt resurfacing program. Further investigations will be undertaken for Poprad Avenue to determine appropriate long- term rehabilitation or reconstruction strategies. Option 1 would consist of relining the existing storm sewer. This is a significantly less intrusive and less expensive way to extend the life of the asset, however, further investigation will determine if relining can improve the pipe’s structural integrity and whether these pipes would be an appropriate candidate for this type of application based on their condition. If it is determined that the pipes can be relined, this work will have to be budgeted for accordingly. Once the relining is complete, the resurfacing of Poprad Avenue can be added back to a future asphalt resurfacing program. If it is determined that the pipes cannot be relined, the planning process for reconstructing this section of road and replacing the storm sewers over the next 5-10 years will commence. Drava Street has also been removed from the 2026 asphalt resurfacing program due to its proximity to both the Sandy Beach Road project and Krosno Creek Culvert Replacements Project (Morden Lane, Reytan Boulevard and Alyssum Street). Access to this road will be limited and there is risk of overlapping work zones, conflicts with equipment maneuverability and increased resident impacts.

The City previously completed sidewalk construction along both Altona Road and Finch Avenue in 2023 in response to ongoing community concerns regarding pedestrian safety. Rapid residential growth in the area significantly increased pedestrian activity, particularly among students walking to Westcreek Public School. Prior to these improvements, pedestrians were required to walk along gravel shoulders adjacent to high-speed traffic. The new sidewalk is set back from the roadway with an appropriate safety buffer and has established a safer and more defined pedestrian corridor. The Finch Avenue project also connects with the ongoing Altona Road sidewalk, forming a more continuous and accessible walking network in the area. As part of the 2024 Sidewalks Capital Budget, Finch Avenue New Sidewalk Installation – Intersection Connectivity Project has been identified as a priority construction initiative to enhance pedestrian mobility and safety in the area surrounding Finch Avenue and Altona Road. The original scope consisted of a sidewalk connection from the existing sidewalk terminus on the north side of Finch Avenue, west of Mapleview Court, to the northeast corner Altona Road and Finch Avenue. During design, it was identified that accessibility improvements at the intersection were required to provide safe pedestrian connectivity through the intersection and to sidewalks at the northwest corner. This includes tactile plates, improved pedestrian signals and push buttons and additional line paint. The proposed works will continue to improve the Finch / Altona corridor for pedestrians, reducing the need for pedestrians to walk along roadway shoulders.

That Report PLN 09-26 regarding the City of Pickering Comments on Bill 98, Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026, be received; 2. That Council endorse the comments contained in Report PLN 09-26, as the City of Pickering comments on Bill 98 and the identified Environmental Registry of Ontario Postings; and, 3. That Council authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to submit the Council endorsed comments on Bill 98 and the identified Environmental Registry of Ontario Postings to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing website by the April 29, 2026 and May 14, 2026, deadlines. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to inform Council of proposed changes in legislation from Bill 98: Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026, seek Council’s endorsement of staff’s comments on these proposed legislative changes, and direction to submit formal comments about these changes to the Province. Bill 98 amends several pieces of legislation. However, this report focuses primarily on changes to the Planning Act, to which there are numerous proposed changes. Key amendments, if approved, would: • require elimination of all policy references to sustainable design and/or green development requirements; - 198 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 2 • standardize and limit the land use designations within Official Plans; • require municipalities to accept encumbered lands as parkland; • prevent municipalities from requiring minimum lot sizes greater than 175 square metres in urban residential areas; • standardize the list of studies that can be requested to support complete development applications; • allow creation of stand-alone secondary plans; and, • allow Minister’s Zoning Orders to be issued and amended without notice to the public. Further, the Province is reconsidering the role of site planning, including the possibility of eliminating site plan control altogether. Other options under review aim to speed up the time frame to receive site plan approval, such as limiting the number of resubmissions, and/or creating site plan streams for less complex applications to be expedited, to name a few. Staff has prepared detailed comments on the different Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) postings associated with Bill 98. While staff acknowledge the Province’s objective of improving approval timelines and housing delivery, many of the proposed Bill 98 reforms would significantly reduce municipal oversight, flexibility, and ability to respond to local conditions. Staff emphasize that effective planning reform should focus on targeted process improvements, adequate resourcing, and collaboration, rather than removing or constraining essential planning tools. Staff recommends Council endorse the comments contained in Report PLN 09-26 as its comments on Bill 98 and authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to submit comments to the ERO by the April 29, 2026 and May 14, 2026 deadlines. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities of Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community; and, Lead & Advocate for Environmental Stewardship, Innovation & Resiliency. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications from adopting the recommendations of this Report. However, the potential removal of site plan control from municipalities and elimination of permit requirements for Metrolinx projects, if passed, would remove key sources of revenue from the City Development Department, and potentially transfer the City’s costs for resources to the property tax base. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to inform Council of proposed changes in legislation from Bill 98: Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026, seek Council’s - 199 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 3 endorsement of staff’s comments on these proposed legislative changes, and authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to submit formal comments to the Province on the proposed changes. 4.1 Background On March 30, 2026, the Province released Bill 98: Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026, for comment on the ERO. Bill 98 includes proposed changes to various pieces of legislation, including the Planning Act and the Development Charges Act, and associated regulatory changes to further support housing, economic, and infrastructure development, and advance key transportation priorities. Bill 98 follows a series of consecutive legislative changes the Province has made through Bills 17, 23, 109 and 185 over the last four years to the Planning Act, the Development Charges Act and various regulations affecting land use planning in Ontario. The City of Pickering provided comments on these Bills through Reports PLN 06-21, PLN 22-22, PLN 16-23, PLN 13-24, and PLN 12-25. Additionally, through ERO 025-1099, the Province received feedback from City staff on proposals to standardize the content of municipal official plans in November 2025. The postings in relation to Bill 98 are listed on the ERO for either a 30 or 45-day commenting period concluding on April 29, 2026 and May 14, 2026. The following paragraphs 4.2 to 4.12 include a summary of each ERO posting as well as staff comments on each posting. 4.2 ERO 026-0300, proposed changes to the Planning Act to streamline and standardize municipal official plans To increase consistency across municipalities, the Province is seeking feedback on proposals to simplify and standardize the content of municipal official plans. The proposed changes include the following: • identifying the details of a standardized structure for local official plans through a prescribed table of contents and schedules, by prescribing the topic/theme of each section in the official plan and of the schedules (maps) to be used; and, • identifying the details of a standardized set of land use designations to be used in local official plans, e.g., “Neighbourhoods”, “Mixed-Use Areas”, “Mixed-Use Commercial Areas”, “Employment Areas”, etc. The Minister may also, at their discretion, set out further direction on implementing any of these designations, including using two or more sub-designations. These changes are proposed to come into force January 1, 2028 for the 29 large and fast- growing municipalities (which includes Pickering), and January 1, 2029 for all other municipalities. The Province intends to bring these changes into force once additional consultation on secondary plans and upper-tier official plan content is complete, and any final refinements are made to the framework. - 200 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 Staff Comments: When the Province initially sought comments on the potential standardization of municipal official plans in 2025 through ERO 025-1099, staff expressed concern that standardization of Official Plans for all of Ontario’s 444 municipalities, which have vastly different contexts, visions and goals, would make it significantly harder to reflect local priorities. Furthermore, the proposed prescribed table of contents and schedules, which is more limited in scope than most of the current Official Plans, have the potential of creating significant additional work for municipalities, including negating work completed or underway that addressed previously approved policy objectives. Pickering Forward, the current review of the City’s Official Plan, proposes a new official plan that would be structured to be user-friendly, predictable, consistent with the 2024 Provincial Planning Statement (PPS), and specific to our local context and priorities. Staff anticipates the new Official Plan being presented to Council prior to January 1, 2028, the effective date of this proposal. And thus, staff will proceed with structuring the new draft official plan consistent with current best practices and specific to our local context and priorities. It is unclear whether the Province would enforce a prescribed table of contents and schedules, and if it does, what the final structure may look like and when that may occur. Staff therefore wish to reiterate its previous comments to the Province that we strongly oppose the imposition of a standardized structure for local municipal official plans, because the scale and character of communities differ, and a “one style fits all” approach to policy planning would make it much harder for municipalities to tailor policies specific to their priorities. With respect to the Province’s prescribed table of contents for municipal official plans, “Local Landscape and Resource Management” is listed as one of the proposed key themes/chapters. The term “Resource Management” is used in the 2024 PPS to prescribe policies respecting matters such as natural heritage, water, aggregate resources, and cultural heritage. However, the term “Local Landscape” is not referred to in the PPS and to use it in this context is confusing, as it is often used in land use planning terms to describe the surrounding context of a site, which could also include the built environment. Furthermore, the words/terms “Natural Heritage” or “Natural Heritage System” is glaringly missing from the proposed table of contents – it warrants recognition, given its significance to ecosystem health, and complete communities. If the Province decides to move forward with the prescribed table of contents, it is strongly recommended that it considers replacing the description/topic “Local Landscape and Resource Management” with “Natural Heritage and Resource Management”. Lastly, and again notwithstanding staff’s opposition to the proposed standardized framework for official plan, staff recommends a change to the proposed structure. As discussed in Section 4.12, ERO 026-0315, consultation on secondary plans, and site and area-specific policies, should the Province proceed with a standardized framework, it should be revised to allow for a chapter to be added for secondary and site- and area-specific plans with related schedules. - 201 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 5 This approach would keep policy documents together, simplifying research on land use permissions or prohibitions in a municipality. 4.3 ERO 026-0300, Proposed prohibition on Mandatory Municipal Enhanced Development Standards and Green Building Standards, and ERO 026-0309, Proposed Regulation to Prohibit Mandatory Enhanced Development Standards as a Condition of Land Division Approvals The Province is proposing changes to the Planning Act, Municipal Act, 2001, Building Code Act, 1992, and City of Toronto Act, 2006 that would have the effect of removing municipal authority to require certain mandatory Enhanced Development Standards (e.g., green development standards) at the lot level, outside of buildings and in adjacent public right of ways, that are not specifically required for health or safety (e.g., stormwater management), including: • removing references to “sustainable design” from Site Plan Control; • removing the requirement for municipalities to include climate change policies in their official plans; • clarifying that zoning cannot be used to require sustainable design elements; • stipulating expressly that mandatory green building/construction standards are not permitted, including as part of site plan control; • removing provisions that would have authorized municipalities to require green building standards, if the government had made enabling regulatory amendments (i.e., a green pick list); and, • removing the ability of municipalities to impose mandatory green development standards as a condition of Land Division approvals. The Province indicated that these proposed changes would be providing even greater clarity that green building/construction standards are voluntary and cannot be imposed by municipalities. Staff Comments: Last fall, staff provided comments on Bill 17: Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025 through Report PLN 12-25, identifying potential negative implications of legislative changes, if adopted, for municipal planning and the implementation of environmental measures, including the City of Pickering Integrated Sustainable Design Standards (ISDS). The City has a long-standing approach to sustainable development, beginning with the Sustainable Development Guidelines (2007), followed by the Seaton Place-Making Guidelines (2011), and continuing today through the ISDS framework. If Bill 98 is passed, the City’s authority to apply the ISDS consistently through the development approvals process would be significantly reduced, limiting its ability to review applications through a lens that includes best practices in alignment with the City’s long established sustainability objectives. As one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the region, this would further diminish the City’s capacity to manage growth in a coordinated and sustainable - 202 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 6 manner. As a result, the City’s role in guiding development would be weakened, leading to less consistent integration of Council priorities and community expectations into development approvals and built outcomes. The following notes specific comments and concerns related to proposed legislation changes. a. Staff have serious concerns with respect to the proposed removal of references to “sustainable design” from Site Plan Control; the stipulation that expressly prohibits mandatory green building/construction standards, including as part of site plan control; and the removal of the provisions that would have authorized municipalities to require green building standards, if the government had made enabling regulatory amendments (i.e., a green pick list). This change would significantly reduce municipal ability to implement established sustainability performance measures through the development approvals process, including the City’s ISDS framework. Through the ISDS, the City has been able to work with the building community to help shape community development for residents that include benefits, such as reduced energy and water costs through improved efficiency, urban heat island reduction, healthy street trees, bicycle infrastructure, electric vehicle rough in, outdoor amenity space, accessibility, resiliency to a changing climate, waste management, resident education, and bird-friendly design. Key implications include: • reduced ability to secure sustainable design outcomes through Site Plan Control; and, • weakened implementation of the ISDS framework, resulting in less consistent application throughout the community for residents and homeowners’ uncertainty regarding delivery of environmental performance outcomes beyond provincial Building Code and minimum standards. Staff request clarification from the Province on what policy or regulatory mechanism is intended to replace the ability to secure sustainable design and environmental performance outcomes through Site Plan Control under the amended Planning Act framework, to safeguard the public, city infrastructure, and the natural environment. b. Staff strongly oppose the proposed removal of the requirement for municipalities to include climate change policies in their official plans, as it significantly weakens the Planning Act as a foundational tool for integrating climate mitigation and adaptation into municipal land use planning. This proposed change reduces statutory direction for climate-informed planning, and risk avoidance, undermining the implementation of local resiliency frameworks. Staff further note that this direction is inconsistent with the Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) voice of the Planning Profession in Ontario, including the Climate Change Adaptation Practice Guide (2025), which identifies climate change adaptation as a core component of good planning practice and essential to resilient community design. Accordingly, the City will continue to apply best practices, climate science, and risk-based planning approaches, to the furthest extent possible, to support long-term community resilience. Staff request clarification from the Province on how municipalities are expected to continue to include and implement climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in official plans - 203 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 7 to safeguard the public, city infrastructure, and the natural environment, and apply them in development decisions, if the requirement to do so is removed from the Planning Act. The Province noted there are redundant requirements for climate changes policies. Staff also seek clarification on which guiding documents exhibit redundant requirement. In addition, staff request clarification on what provincial policies, documents, and/or mechanisms will replace references to climate change mitigation and adaptation in official plans. c. Staff need clarification from the Province regarding the proposed restriction that zoning cannot be used to require sustainable design elements. The City notes that ISDS performance measures are not currently included in Zoning By-law 8149/24; however, technical environmental requirements supporting sustainable design and climate resilience are implemented through conservation authority requirements and municipal engineering standards. Consistent with the Ontario Professional Planners Institute Climate Change Adaptation Practice Guide (2025), zoning is a key municipal tool for implementing land use policies that support climate resilience and environmental performance outcomes. Staff request clarification from the Province on whether municipalities will continue to be permitted to include conservation authority and other technical environmental requirements that support sustainable design and climate resilience within Zoning By-laws under the proposed amendments. d. The Province is proposing the removal of the ability of municipalities to impose mandatory green development standards as a condition of Land Division approvals. The ISDS framework does not apply to Land Division applications resulting in fewer than five lots; however, the Planning Act Land Division process is typically used to address technical requirements such as servicing, stormwater management, and natural heritage considerations to support infill development and good planning practice. Staff therefore request clarification from the Province on how municipalities are intended to address these requirements under the proposed amendments. e. The Province proposes to remove all mandatory sustainable design and green development standards from the City’s development review process. The ISDS framework is organized around seven principles: energy and resilience, water, land use and nature, transportation, waste management, neighbourhood design, and education. It provides practical, flexible performance measures developed in collaboration with the building community, residents, stakeholders, and Council to support the City’s commitment to sustainable growth, environmental stewardship, and the development of inclusive and healthy communities. Accordingly, the ISDS delivers clear benefits, including increased urban tree canopy for cooler, shaded neighbourhoods, improved community safety and well-being through Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles, and bird-friendly design to reduce bird-window collisions. Since 2023, the completion of an ISDS checklist has been required for all development applications and is carried through planning, design, and construction stages, supporting a consistent approach to sustainable development across the city. Now in its third year, the ISDS continues to guide development, in alignment with planned growth and community - 204 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 8 priorities, and has received external recognition for its practical and flexible approach by the Sustainable Housing Foundation. The ISDS supports a wide range of project conditions by enabling multiple pathways to achieve innovative best practices and technology of today, rather than prescribing a single compliance model. Importantly, as noted in Report PLN 12-25 comments on Bill 17, Pickering’s ISDS has not delayed approvals or hindered housing targets. The ISDS supports key City objectives, including those within the Official Plan, Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, and Community Climate Adaptation Plan, and supports Council‑endorsed priorities under the Corporate Strategic Plan (2024–2028). Proposed provincial changes under Bill 98 would limit municipal discretion to apply site‑specific sustainability best practice requirements through planning approvals, placing greater reliance on provincial minimum standards. While the Ontario Building Code establishes baseline requirements for health, safety, and energy efficiency, it does not fully address broader municipal objectives that impact community and building design. The Province has noted that green standards create inconsistency since many communities across Ontario seek to use these tools to help shape development. As such, integrating performance measures into the Ontario Building Code would address the issue of consistency without compromising the environmental, social, and economic benefits derived from these best practices. Staff request clarification from the Province on whether the Ontario Building Code will be updated, or a new regulation created, to include new building- and lot-level resilience measures, and whether this is intended to replace enhanced green development standards to ensure the outcomes are still achieved. Accordingly, staff seek clarification from the Province on how these objectives are intended to be achieved under the proposed framework. 4.4 ERO 026-0300, Proposed revision to the Planning Act that would remove the legislative requirement for the Minister to provide notice on proposed amendments to or revocations of Minister’s Zoning Orders (MZOs) Changes are proposed to the Planning Act that would remove the requirement for the Minister to provide notice on proposed amendments to or revocations of MZOs. Staff Comments: Although typical planning amendments require public notice and allow for appeals, MZOs already function without the opportunity for public appeal. This proposed change further removes the obligation to inform the public before an amendment to a zoning order is made, or before a zoning order is revoked. The principles of collaboration, coordination and transparency in the planning process, as set out in Section 6.2 of the 2024 PPS, are equally important to all development applications or major revisions to them, irrespective of whether the zoning for the proposal is in the jurisdiction of the local municipality or the Province. - 205 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 9 MZOs are powerful tools, and while minor amendments may be acceptable without further public notice, major changes to the original permissions granted should not be permitted without further notice. Under the proposed legislation of Bill 98, the City and the public would not be notified about an amendment to the original MZO, which would undermine due process, lack transparency, and not serve the public interest. Staff is of the opinion that removing notice requirements prevents residents from having rightful and meaningful input on local land-use decisions. Further, it is equally important for the public, including the local municipality, to know when MZOs have been revoked. Staff do not support the proposal and recommend that major amendments to existing zoning orders and revocation of zoning orders require public notice and consultation with the relevant municipality. 4.5 ERO 026-0300, Proposed amendments to the Metrolinx Act, 2006 to accelerate transit construction and consolidate provincial control over transit planning The Province is seeking feedback on the creation of a "Notification of Proposal" process for provincial transit projects, that would allow Metrolinx to start construction by notifying the Chief Building Official (CBO) instead of applying for a building permit. While Building Code standards would still apply, this process removes the requirement for Metrolinx to obtain municipal approvals before starting work. The Province states this change will prevent municipal delays from slowing down transit projects. Staff Comments: While the proposed amendments to the Metrolinx Act aims to speed up approvals, this may not result in a significant change in Pickering, as the City already prioritizes institutional projects, such as those from Metrolinx. Additionally, transit-related inspections are prioritized and completed within 24 hours of a request. The proposed revisions also have impacts on the Building Code Act, 1992, that can be explained as follows: Metrolinx projects must still meet the technical requirements of the Building Code. This framework relies heavily on the liability of architects and professional engineers, who remain responsible for ensuring that the design complies with the Code and for performing the required general reviews during construction. However, the proposed legislative change would allow Metrolinx to choose "notification" instead of obtaining a building permit, which has the following impacts: a. Review Limitations: The CBO, or delegate, is prohibited from reviewing drawings and documents in advance to determine if the project complies with Zoning By-laws, Site Plan Control, or other specific provincial laws. Traditionally, these are "applicable laws" that must be satisfied before a permit is issued. Under this Bill, the CBO must ignore these traditional - 206 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 10 compliance checks. Furthermore, there is a potential for project proponents to submit preliminary drawings that lack the level of detail usually required for a permit. Such incomplete data creates a liability risk for the City. b. Report, but not issue a building permit: The CBO’s role would be to provide a Technical Report that only assesses Building Code safety, professional design standards, and the qualifications of the designers. Procedurally, the CBO is only required to begin this review and provide the report once the notification form is submitted and the required fee is paid. This legislative change effectively reduces the role of building officials to an advisory role without any authority to enforce non-compliance of construction and to ultimately ensure public safety. c. Occupancy Opinion: Because Metrolinx is not bound by the Building Code Act, the CBO would provide a Written Opinion on occupancy safety rather than a traditional Occupancy Permit. This is a significant shift in the CBO’s authority respecting construction. While an occupancy permit is a legal grant of permission to occupy/use a space, this prescribed Written Opinion is a technical audit. It documents whether the building meets safety requirements without giving the CBO the traditional authority to "grant" or "withhold" the right to occupy. This removes any authority for building officials to prevent premature occupancy of an unfinished building, which could potentially expose occupants to hazardous conditions. The financial impact of the proposal is unknown because the Province has not yet prescribed the fee amounts via regulation. Should the Province proceed with this legislative change, it is recommended that the new "Report Fee" be structured to cover the full cost of the City’s technical reviews. This ensures the Building Services Section can maintain its service levels without a revenue loss. Staff do not support these proposed changes as they: • eliminate the authority of the CBO and building officials to meaningfully enforce the requirements of the Building Code and ensure public safety; • pose a safety risk for premature occupancy of an unfinished building; • create inconsistency and uncertainty for building officials, consultants, and general contractors, that are accustomed to decades of building industry construction practice respecting the role of CBOs and Inspectors; • may create additional challenges for building officials in the performance of their duties under the Building Code Act for non-Metrolinx projects; and, • erode public accountability. 4.6 ERO 026-0304, Draft Projection Methodology Guideline (PMG) to support the implementation of the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (PPS, 2024) The Province is seeking feedback on a further revised draft Projection Methodology Guideline (PMG). The purpose of the PMG is to assist municipalities with developing population and employment forecasts, identifying land needs requirements to plan their communities, and - 207 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 11 implement provincial policies. If finalized, this proposed guidance would replace the existing 1995 PMG. The Province initially sought comments on a proposal to release a new PMG through ERO 025-0844 in the last quarter of 2025. Following the review of all comments received, the Province has now released a revised draft PMG for comments. As required under the PPS, 2024, planning authorities must base population and employment forecasts on the Ontario population projections published by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and may modify, as appropriate. Sufficient land must be made available to accommodate an appropriate range and mix of land uses to meet projected needs for a time horizon of at least 20 years, but not more than 30 years, informed by provincial guidance. The proposed guidance outlines methodologies and appropriate data sources for municipalities to use to prepare these forecasts and land needs assessments. The proposed guidance is organized into four main sections: Establishing Municipal Population Projections, Developing Housing Needs Forecasts, Developing Employment Forecasts, and a Land Needs Assessment. Staff Comments: Policy 2.1.1 in the 2024 PPS states that, notwithstanding the policy that requires municipalities to base population and employment forecasts on the Ontario population projections published by the Ministry of Finance, municipalities may continue to forecast growth using population and employment forecasts previously issued by the Province for the purposes of land use planning. The Growth Management Strategy, prepared by Watson & Associates for Pickering Forward, based their forecasting on the methodology previously issued by the Province. The proposed revisions to the draft PMG do not therefore have any implications for Pickering Forward, but it would or may impact any forecasting work as part of the next municipal comprehensive review. Although the proposed revised PMG has no bearing on the current official plan review, staff wish to reiterate the following concerns that were expressed through the City’s staff to-staff comments submitted on ERO 025-0844 in October 2025 to the Province. While the proposed new process offers more flexibility to municipalities, the requirement to prepare their own ‘bottom up’ population and employment forecasts instead of the Region doing a ‘top down’ comprehensive projection for all municipalities in the Region, will result in downloading significant work to lower-tier municipalities. The changes will require increased municipal resources to undertake this work. In addition to downloading this work, the Province emphasizes the need for collaboration between lower-tier and upper-tier municipalities, as well as with other orders of government, agencies, boards, to achieve the outcomes at all steps of the forecasting and land needs assessment process. This will result in Pickering re-establishing the working groups that previously existed, through Regional Official Plan Reviews, with the same stakeholders, while taking on these new responsibilities. - 208 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 12 Staff do not support this revised methodology. Each area municipality within a Region (and the Region itself) could use a different methodology to forecast population and employment for their jurisdiction. A real concern exists that resources will be spent arguing methodology to obtain the highest population and the greatest number of jobs per municipality, rather than getting to the desired outcome of allocating population and employment to designate land and allocate servicing allocations to municipalities. Given the Province’s interest in facilitating development, staff recommend the Province provide Regional-wide totals for population and employment so inter-municipal disputes regarding allocations (and thus resulting servicing and other infrastructure allocations) are avoided and land use designations can proceed logically, expeditiously, and in a financially responsible manner. 4.7 ERO 026-0310, Proposal to reform Site Plan Control under the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006 The Province of Ontario has indicated that, despite recent legislative changes intended to streamline and expedite the development approvals process, including amendments through multiple bills that: • modified complete planning requirements; • removed the ability to require pre-consultation; and, • restricted the use of site plan control for most residential developments of 10 or fewer units. They have found that site plan control is not being implemented consistently or efficiently across municipalities. The Province has identified that approvals under Section 41 of the Planning Act and Sections 114 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, are taking too long, resulting in increased costs and delays in development. As a result, the Province is proposing further reforms to accelerate approvals and reduce associated costs. The Province is seeking feedback on five distinct reform options. These are not mutually exclusive and may be implemented individually or in combination. The proposed reform options are summarized below. a. Complete Elimination of Site Plan Control Remove site plan control entirely as a land use planning tool from the Planning Act and City of Toronto Act, 2006, thereby, eliminating municipal authority to review or impose conditions on development prior to building permit issuance. b. Cap on Circulation with a Mandatory Resolution Meeting Limited circulation to a maximum of three rounds, after which a mandatory meeting is required with all municipal department representatives and the applicant to work through and resolve all outstanding issues. - 209 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 13 c. Standardized Checklist with Certified Professional Sign-off Limit site plan review to a provincial standard checklist of health, safety, and functional matters. Certified professionals retained by the applicant would approve studies and reports. Municipalities could not require additional studies or drawings beyond the checklist. Meeting the checklist requirements would result in the issuance of site plan approval. d. Municipal Arbitration Panel as Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) Alternative For applicants who have exceeded the 60-day timeline, establish a local arbitration or review panel as a faster, lower-cost alternative to a hearing at the OLT. Decision-making timelines would be prescribed. e. Tiered Approval Streams for Complexity Introduce multiple approval streams for different development types and scales. A full site plan process would apply only to large, complex projects. Smaller or simpler developments would be triaged to an expedited stream or exempted from site plan control entirely. Staff Comments: The following comments identify the most significant concerns associated with each reform option. Proposed Reform Major Issues and Concerns Complete Elimination of Site Plan Control • Removes the City’s only pre-building permit mechanism to review critical site-specific matters, including grading, drainage, servicing, vehicular and pedestrian access, fire route, lighting, waste management, snow storage, and accessibility. • Eliminates the ability to impose conditions of approval, such as road widening, servicing requirements, fencing, and mitigation measures for noise, vibration, wind and dust. • Removes the City’s ability to secure parkland or cash-in-lieu contributions, and to obtain public access easements. • Eliminates the legal mechanism to require financial securities, reducing the City’s ability to ensure completion of required works. • Significantly impacts coordination of phased and adjacent developments, increasing the risk of fragmented and uncoordinated development patterns. • Removes the City’s ability to implement urban design and streetscape standards, resulting in lower-quality public realm outcomes. • Eliminates the ability to address key technical matters such as contamination, archaeology, environmental and construction management impacts prior to construction. - 210 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 14 • Removes Development Charge triggers tied to site plan approval, creating uncertainty for growth-related funding. • Introduces significant risk to public safety, infrastructure performance, and long-term development quality. Cap on Circulations with Mandatory Resolution Meeting • Limits the iterative review process required to resolve complex, multi-disciplinary technical issues. • May force premature resolution meetings before all issues are fully identified or understood. • Reduces opportunities for collaboration between staff and applicants, which often leads to improved design and technical outcomes. • Increases the likelihood that unresolved issues are deferred to the building permit or construction stage, where they are more costly and difficult to address. • Does not account for the role or timelines of external agencies (e.g., conservation authorities, regional municipalities, provincial agencies, and utility providers), whose review processes are often iterative and may lack resources to review applications within prescribed timelines. • Creates pressure to prioritize speed over quality of review. Standardized Checklist with Certified Professional Sign-Off • A standardized one-size-fits-all checklist cannot adequately address complex site conditions such as floodplain, contamination, heritage resources and servicing constraints. • Limits municipal discretion to request additional studies or information based on site-specific conditions or findings from initial review. • Shifts responsibility for review to applicant-retained consultants, who may not be fully familiar with municipal standards, local conditions, or area-specific requirements. • Introduces potential inconsistencies in the quality and rigor of submissions across projects and consultants. • Applicant-retained consultants are often required to advocate on behalf of their clients. This creates potential for real or perceived conflicts of interest in self-certified submissions, reduces independent oversight, and may erode public accountability. Municipal Arbitration Panel (OLT Alternative) • Requires the establishment of a new governance structure, procedures, and qualified panel members. • Introduces additional administrative and resource burden on the City. • May duplicate or conflict with existing appeal mechanisms. • Could encourage earlier escalation of disputes rather than resolution through collaborative review. Tiered Approval Streams by Complexity • Risks complex applications being inappropriately classified into expedited streams, resulting in insufficient review. - 211 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 15 • Adds administrative complexity in managing multiple approval streams and ensuring consistency across departments and external agencies. • Does not eliminate the need for detailed review in complex neighbourhoods such as the City Centre and Seaton. • Requires updates to municipal processes, By-law, staff workflows, and municipal fee structure. • External agencies’ timelines (e.g. conservation authority, provincial agencies and regional municipalities) may not align with expedited timelines, creating new bottlenecks. While the Province’s objective to improve timelines and reduce costs in the site plan approval process is recognized and supported, the proposed site plan control reforms are overly broad and would fundamentally weaken the City’s ability to ensure safe, functional, and well- designed developments. The City of Pickering is already actively addressing approval timelines through internal process improvements. In February 2025, Council endorsed Streamlining the Development Applications Review Process study, which identified 50 recommendations and established a focused work plan of 22 key initiatives (Resolution # 665/25). Implementation is currently underway and includes: • developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Planning Act applications and financial securities; • assessing and optimizing the City’s application tracking system to automate certain processes; • aligning workflow and improving tracking of critical review timelines; • establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting annually to Council; • creating an online application submission portal and payment tracking tools; • expanding delegated authority to streamline decision-making; • enhancing public communication through plain language notices; • finalizing a comprehensive Site Plan Approval Manual, outlining the City’s minimum requirements and standards; and, • reviewing building, engineering and planning fees to ensure full cost recovery. This initiative directly addresses the root cause of delays, process inefficiencies, coordination challenges, and resourcing, without removing the essential planning function of site plan control. Accordingly, the proposed Provincial reforms, particularly the elimination of site plan control and the introduction of rigid, standardized approaches, are not supported. These changes would reduce municipal oversight, limit the ability to address site-specific issues, and increase risks to public safety, infrastructure, and development quality. A more effective approach would focus on targeted process improvements, supported by appropriate resources and flexibility, rather than the removal or significant weakening of a critical planning tool. - 212 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 16 4.8 ERO 026-0311, Proposed Regulatory Approach to Establish a Minimum Residential Lot Size in Urban Areas The Province is seeking feedback on a proposed regulation under the Planning Act, to set a minimum lot size of 175 square metres (approximately 1,900 square feet) on parcels of urban residential land (fully serviced) outside the Greenbelt Area. The Bill proposes to amend the Planning Act to limit the ability of municipalities to pass a Zoning By-law that imposes a minimum lot area for residential land that is greater than the 175 square metres. An additional subsection is proposed that would deem Zoning By-law provisions regulating lot frontage and depth to be of no effect if they would require a lot to be larger than 175 square metres. The Province is of the opinion that this regulation would foster conditions for increased housing supply and affordability in urban areas by helping facilitate the creation of smaller lots over time, leading to increased opportunities for home ownership in urban areas since smaller lots are generally more affordable. Other considerations would continue to apply to decisions on land division applications, such as policies in the PPS, 2024 that prohibit development (including lot creation) in certain circumstances. In addition, the regulation-making authority would be scoped to zoning and would not apply to subdivision control, and any municipal zoning requirement for minimum frontage and/or minimum depth that would not allow for the minimum lot size standard to be met would be inapplicable. Staff Comments: Staff support the Province’s goal of increasing housing supply and streamlining approvals, but note that lot area, frontage, and setbacks work together to ensure development is safe, serviceable, and consistent with subdivision control and community design objectives. Zoning By-law 8149/24 (outside Seaton) structures low-density residential areas into First (R1), Second (R2), and Third (R3) Density zones, with minimum lot areas generally ranging from larger detached-lot standards in R1, to transitional low-rise forms in R2, to more compact townhouse standards in R3. A legislated minimum lot area of 175 square metres could override local standards and create uncertainty about how existing zone permissions would apply (e.g., whether lots could be created at 175 square metres in established low-density zones while still meeting other requirements such as setbacks, height, and lot coverage). Because current standards were designed for much larger lots, the remaining framework may not function as intended. Staff also seek clarity on whether 175 square metres is only a floor, or whether it is intended to enable lot creation that does not align with the applicable zone’s broader standards. This affects consistent zoning/subdivision control and the City’s ability to plan for orderly development based on servicing capacity and neighbourhood design objectives. - 213 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 17 From a built-form perspective, applying a 175 square metres lot standard to typical low-density housing may constrain site functionality. Experience in compact areas (e.g., Seaton and Duffin Heights) suggests smaller lots can reduce rear yard space, limit access to rear yards, and make it difficult to accommodate features such as entrances to additional dwelling units, with potential implications for safe occupancy and emergency access. Additional dwelling units support affordability and multi-generational living, but require safe, unobstructed access for occupants and emergency services. Reduced lot sizes may limit side- yard or rear access pathways, creating functional and safety challenges. Smaller lots may also make it harder to meet on-site parking needs (often accommodated through private driveways), increasing reliance on on-street parking and pressure on the municipal right-of-way. They can also increase the proportion of impervious surface, reducing space for landscaping and trees and increasing stormwater runoff beyond what existing systems were designed to handle, potentially contributing to localized drainage issues. As the changes are intended to facilitate intensification through severances in established neighbourhoods, staff note potential conflict with Council-adopted policies (including the Established Neighbourhood Design Guidelines) intended to maintain compatibility with existing character, built form, and lotting patterns in areas such as Bay Ridges, Dunbarton, Rougemount, Rosebank, and West Shore. Overall, while the 175 square metres standard may increase housing supply, staff are concerned it could undermine the City’s ability to apply complementary zoning standards (e.g., frontage, setbacks, access), with unintended impacts on site functionality, infrastructure capacity, and neighbourhood design. Staff recommend the Province provide municipalities flexibility to apply appropriate local zoning standards where needed to keep development safe, functional, and aligned with servicing and neighbourhood objectives. 4.9 ERO 026-0312, Proposed Changes to Support Standardizing of Parkland Requirements Under the Planning Act Bill 23 previously added, but did not yet bring into effect, provisions to the Planning Act that would permit certain encumbered lands (e.g., lands containing underground parking structures or stormwater infrastructure) and privately-owned public spaces (POPS) to be credited towards municipal parkland dedication requirements. The Province is now seeking feedback on the criteria that will be used to determine which lands are eligible to be credited as parkland. The proposed criteria for evaluating parkland eligibility are outlined below: Ineligible for Parkland • contaminated lands; • natural and human-made hazard lands; - 214 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 18 • lands within and adjacent to natural heritage features if a park would interfere with or compromise the natural heritage features and areas; • lands in the Natural Heritage System of the Greenbelt Plan or in the Natural Core or Natural Linkage Areas of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan; • lands that would not support park use – lands that would not accommodate fill and/or soil depths to accommodate structural footings as per the Ontario Building Code or support tree planting; • lands with financial encumbrances – lands with liens, charges, etc. registered on title; and, • Lands that are privately-owned and not accessible to public at all times. Required Criteria • accessible by all users directly from the public realm and readily visible from the public realm; and, • land must be of a size and shape that is capable of serving park or public recreational purposes. The Province is also seeking feedback on the 70% credit that encumbered parklands and POPS are proposed to be granted towards a development’s overall parkland dedication. Staff Comments: Staff generally support the proposed criteria identifying lands that are ineligible for parkland dedication. However, further clarification is requested regarding the criterion: “Lands within and adjacent to natural heritage features if a park would interfere with or compromise the natural heritage features and areas.” Specifically, it is unclear whether the responsibility for demonstrating potential impacts rest with the applicant or the municipality. Additional guidance from the Province on this matter would improve consistency in implementation. With respect to parkland credit rates, the City’s current Parkland Conveyance By-law (November 2024, under appeal) establishes credit rates of 80% for encumbered lands (strata parks) and 50% for POPS. The Province’s proposed regulations would set both rates at 70%. While the proposed rates differ from those approved by Council, they generally result in a comparable overall parkland yield. The table below provides a comparison of the parkland credit between the City’s current parkland conveyance By-law and the Province’s proposed credits. City Parkland Conveyance By-law (November 2024 – Under Appeal) ERO 026-312 Encumbered Lands / Strata Parks 80% 70% POPS 50% 70% Staff do not support applying a 70% credit rate to POPS. Unlike publicly owned parkland, POPS are typically smaller in size, privately owned, and not under municipal control. As a result, the City has limited ability to design, program, or maintain these spaces in accordance with municipal standards and community needs. - 215 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 19 The City supports the introduction of credit rates for encumbered parkland, recognizing that such spaces can contribute meaningfully to the parkland system when appropriately designed. However, the City recommends that the Province reduce the credit rate for POPS to 50%. A lower credit would better reflect their limited size, private ownership and reduced functionality compared to publicly owned parkland and would help ensure that municipalities continue to secure high-quality accessible, and programmable park spaces to serve growing communities. 4.10 ERO 026-0313, Streamlining the information and material that planning authorities can require as part of a complete application The Province established that planning authorities vary widely in the type, number, and scope of studies they require from applicants before a planning application is considered complete, and the wide variation across the Province adds unpredictability to the application process, can increase costs for applicants, and can contribute to delays in the development process. Accordingly, the Province is proposing amendments to achieve greater clarity and predictability regarding complete application requirements across the province, by seeking feedback on a proposed list of information and material that has been categorized into two types of studies and when they could be required: a. Core Studies: Core studies address fundamental planning and engineering matters such as environmental impacts, existing servicing capacity, transportation impacts, and public health and safety, and planning authorities typically require these to assess most planning applications. The Province is proposing that the only information and material planning authorities may require as part of a complete application are: Environmental Impact Statements (Studies), Environmental Site Assessments, Functional Servicing Reports, Geotechnical Reports, Hydrogeological Reports, Planning Justification Reports, and Transportation Impact Studies. b. Contingent Studies: Contingent studies could only be required when a specific on-site or surrounding condition exists in the local municipality that makes the study relevant for the consideration of the planning application. For example, certain studies may only be needed if a subject property is located on or near airports, rail corridors, significant natural hazards, or major facilities, or when the property contains particular environmental, cultural, or resource-based features on site. The proposed list of contingent studies that may be required include studies such as Agricultural Impact Assessments; Air Quality/Odour Studies; Arborist reports; Cultural Heritage Impact Assessments; Financial Impact Analysis, and Land Use Compatibility Studies. Staff Comments: Although the list of “Core Studies” is proposed to be exhaustive, the proposed list of “Contingent Studies” appears to be non-exhaustive and gives examples of other studies. In order for a municipality to do its due diligence with respect to a development proposal and to make decisions that are informed and in the public interest, it is critical that municipalities - 216 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 20 retain the ability and discretion to require other studies where the local context and circumstances warrant them. Therefore, staff has no concerns with this proposal, as it would not affect our ability to require studies, whether they are “core” or “contingent”. 4.11 ERO 026-0314, Proposed Changes to Various Regulations Under the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006 to Specify Additional “Prescribed Professions” for the Purposes of a Complete Application Bill 17 made changes to the Planning Act to create regulation-making authority for the Minister to scope complete application requirements by, among other things, providing that municipalities would be required to accept studies from certified professionals in professions specified in regulation. Further to these legislative changes, new and amending regulations were filed in early 2026 to specify professional engineering as a “prescribed profession” for the purposes of a complete application. The Province is now seeking feedback on adding additional certified professionals, e.g., registered landscape architects, for the purposes of a complete application. The prescribing of certified professionals by regulation means that municipalities would be required to accept technical studies and reports prepared by these professionals in the first instance as satisfying complete application requirements (without requiring further review or revisions) which may help further speed up development approvals and reduce initial application costs associated with the development proposal. The Province stipulated that Municipalities could still request additional information or undertake a review of the technical information submitted, but these requests would not affect the decision-making timelines in the Act or the applicant’s right of appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal after the decision timeline has expired. Staff Comments: This proposal, initially introduced through Bill 17 in mid 2025, suggested that municipalities should accept and implement studies from certified professionals without review and oversight by staff or peer review consultants. The City, through Report PLN 12-25 submitted comments on Bill 17, opposing the proposal on the basis that the submission of a study by a certified professional does not automatically ensure that the document is without error, and that the acceptance of the study as infallible would place Council in a position of relying on, and making decisions on, studies even if the information they contain is identified by staff as being inaccurate or incomplete. The Province has since revised its proposal, as summarized in the above preamble, clarifying that municipalities would be required to accept technical studies and reports prepared by certified professionals in the first instance as satisfying complete application requirements, and that would not remove the ability to require additional information or have the study reviewed - 217 - PLN 09-26 April 27, 2026 Page 21 or peer reviewed after the development application has been submitted and deemed complete. Staff welcomes the Province’s revision to its initial proposal and has no further concerns with it. 4.12 ERO 026-0315, Consultation on secondary plans, and site and area-specific policies Feedback is being sought on a distinct framework for Secondary Plans and Site- and Area- Specific Policies (SASPs) to increase consistency across municipalities. Proposed changes for Secondary Plans and SASPs could include: • identifying the types of areas where secondary plans could be used; • separating secondary plans from the primary official plan, so they would exist as a standalone document while being subject to the same process requirements; and, • exempting secondary plans from Minister’s approval. Staff comments: A municipal official plan is the parent document to secondary plans, and it contains policies that generally applies city-wide, whereas secondary plans contain detailed policies geared towards a particular geographic area in the city. There can be a variety of reasons to identify a distinct area for more detailed planning (i.e., new urban areas like Northeast Pickering, intensification areas like the City Centre and the Kingston Road Corridor, heritage areas like the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District or Waterfront Nautical Village). Secondary plans and site- and area-specific plans should be approved as amendments to the primary official plan, not as stand-alone documents. Notwithstanding staff’s opposition to the standardized framework for official plans, should the Province proceed with such a framework, it should be revised to allow for a chapter to be added for secondary and site- and area-specific plans with related schedules. This approach would keep policy documents together, simplifying research on land use permissions or prohibitions in a municipality. Staff supports secondary and site- and area-specific plans having the full authority of an official plan and being exempt from Ministerial approval. 5.0 Conclusion: It is recommended that Council endorse the comments contained in Report PLN 09-26, as the City of Pickering’s detailed comments on Bill 98 and the identified ERO Postings 026-0300, 026-0304, 026-0305, 026-0309, 026-0310, 026-0311, 026-0312, 026-0313, 026-0314, and 026-0315, and that Council authorize the Chief Administrative Officer to submit the Council endorsed comments on the identified ERO Postings to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing website by the April 29, 2026 and May 14, 2026, deadlines.

That Report CS 13-26 regarding the Municipal Alcohol Policy be received; 2. That Council approve the draft Municipal Alcohol Policy, as set out in Attachment 1 to this report; 3. That Council approve the draft By-law, as set out in Attachment 2 to this report, to repeal By-law 3859/91 to establish an Alcohol Management Policy and By-law 6380/04 that was approved to amend the Alcohol Management Policy; and, 4. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council endorsement for the draft Municipal Alcohol Policy. On October 7, 1991, Council approved its first Alcohol Management Policy By-law which came into effect on January 1, 1992 (By-law #3859/91). On October 18, 2004, the City’s Alcohol Management Policy (By-law #6380/04) was updated and approved with revisions that included changing the By-law name to “Municipal Alcohol Policy”, amending the facilities list, updating language from Town to City, adding a provision on restricting alcohol service only when a Special Occasion Permit has been granted, and changing the insurance requirement for the City to be added as an additional insured as opposed to a co-insured. Staff have since updated the Municipal Alcohol Policy (“the Policy”) to reflect current operational practices and legislative requirements. The draft Policy has been prepared using the corporate policy template. The Policy provides the direction for the appropriate management of alcohol on municipal property, including the service and consumption of - 220 - CS 13-26 April 27, 2026 Page 2 alcohol in municipally owned facilities. Annually, the City accommodates approximately 472 events involving alcohol service through the issuance of Special Occasion Permits. In tandem with the Municipal Alcohol Policy, the Alcohol Management & Designated Facilities Procedure, as set out in Attachment 2 to this report (“the Procedure”) identifies a list of designated indoor and outdoor city facilities where alcohol is permitted to be served under the provisions of a Special Occasion Permit issued by the Alcohol Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Staff conducted a best practices review of other municipal alcohol policies across Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area. The City of Pickering’s draft Municipal Alcohol Policy aligns with and is consistent with the practices of peer municipalities. Through the best practices study and thorough review by staff, the draft Policy reflects current practices with clear and concise language around protocols for permit holders and strengthens provisions where necessary to ensure compliance with legislation, rules and guidelines. The Procedure was drafted to identify the list of designated indoor and outdoor facilities where alcohol is permitted to be served and consumed, and to identify the application of rules and regulations for safe alcohol consumption. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities of Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe & Healthy Community; Strengthen Existing & Build New Partnerships; and Foster an Engaged & Informed Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no financial impacts resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in this report. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek Council endorsement of the draft Municipal Alcohol Policy. The Policy establishes a framework for the responsible management and safe consumption of alcohol on City property, while recognizing and accommodating the diverse needs of the community. It supports the health, safety, and well-being of participants, protects municipal assets, and mitigates risk to the city, its employees, and volunteers. 4.1 Background As noted previously, the City first adopted an Alcohol Management Policy in 1991, with subsequent revisions approved in 2004. Since that time, legislative changes, operational practices, and community expectations have evolved. The City currently hosts approximately 472 private functions and public events annually across various indoor and outdoor municipal facilities where alcohol may be served. All events - 221 - CS 13-26 April 27, 2026 Page 3 involving alcohol service must comply with the requirements of a Special Occasion Permit issued by the AGCO. In addition, the City periodically hosts municipal events where alcohol may be served in accordance with the same regulatory requirements. The City of Pickering is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment within its facilities and parks. Adoption of the draft Policy reinforces this commitment by promoting a responsible, well-managed approach to alcohol consumption that prioritizes public health and safety. 4.2 Review of Other Municipal Best Practices Staff conducted a thorough best practices review of 14 municipal alcohol policies, including all municipalities in Durham Region, as well as surrounding greater Toronto area municipalities. The City of Pickering’s draft Policy is consistent and is well aligned with other Municipal Alcohol Policies. 4.3 Policy Revisions The following updates made to the draft Policy, to replace By-law #6380/04 are recommended: a. Change Department of Engineering and Public Works Department to Community Services Department and remove references to working with Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. b. Designated Facilities List has been removed from the Policy and included in a separate procedure. This will allow for greater flexibility in adding designated facilities, as required. c. Revise all references of Liquor Licence Board of Ontario to Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. d. Additional definitions were added to include AGCO, Permit Holder, Events, Special Occasion Permit, Director, Monitor, Smart Serve, and Acceptable Forms of Identification. e. Clarifying language was added throughout the draft Policy to reflect current practices. f. Added a provision that Pay Duty officers must be requested for outdoor events and for indoor events with more than 500 people. g. Increased insurance requirement from $2 million to $5 million third party general liability coverage to better reflect the increased costs of liability related claims. - 222 - CS 13-26 April 27, 2026 Page 4 Attachments: 1.

For example, if the event ends at 12:00 am the last drink served must be no later than 11:30 pm. There shall be no “last call” announced at any event to prevent rapid consumption. It is the responsibility of the Permit Holder to refuse individuals who appear to be rowdy or intoxicated. If a dispute arises from someone denied access and/or ejection, the Permit Holder will make the final decision regarding who does and does not gain admittance. The City of Pickering reserves the right to eject rowdy, intoxicated or disruptive patrons. All Permit Holders and participants attending an event on City property shall adhere to the City of Pickering’s Respectful Conduct Policy (ADM 260). 04.04 Safe Transportation Permit Holders shall implement a safe transportation plan that includes various options for a safe return home from the event to prevent intoxicated participants from driving. The City may require a Permit Holder to demonstrate that such a plan will be implemented by the Permit Holder. - 227 - Policy Title: Municipal Alcohol Policy Page 5 of 8 Policy Number: NEW 04.05 Statement of Intoxication The City will prominently display Statement of Intoxication signage in all Designated Facilities where alcohol is served (i.e. bar service area). Such signage indicates that it is illegal to serve participants to a state of intoxication. Permit Holders shall ensure compliance with all conditions as outlined in the following Statement of Intoxication: City of Pickering Statement of Intoxication: It is contrary to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario Act, 2019, S.O. 2019 to serve persons to intoxication. For this reason, Servers are required to obey the law and not serve anyone to intoxication. Should you wish a no alcohol or low alcohol “breather” round, request a soft drink, coffee or smaller than usual portion of alcohol. In addition to any signage requirements by the AGCO, under the Liquor License and Control Act the following must be adhered to: a) No advertisements promoting liquor prices may be placed outside the licensed area. b) No discounted drink prices or multiple sales for a special rate are permitted at the event or function including, but not limited to half price happy hour, and two for one drink options. c) Serving practices that encourage over-consumption of alcohol are not allowed, including shots, specialty drinks like Jello shooters, over-sized drinks, and drinking contests or games.

Permitted spaces must be maintained in good condition, and all activities must adhere to established rules designed to protect city property, maintain public safety, and support a positive experience for all users. Permit Holders must ensure that decorations, equipment, catering services, and entertainment are managed responsibly and that no damage occurs to the facility, furnishings, or grounds. Any damage resulting from event activities may lead to loss of damage deposit, written warnings, and potential suspension of future permitting privileges. For any event where alcohol is served or sold on City of Pickering property, Permit Holders are required to obtain the appropriate SOP from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). This requirement applies to all permit holders utilizing city facilities, parks, and outdoor spaces. It is an expectation of the City of Pickering that all individuals attending and participating in permitted events respect city employees and Designated Facilities. City employees may intervene during an event, identify an issue, and seek a positive outcome. In some circumstances, employees may take specific measures to address and prevent negative interactions involving customers, neighbouring residents, or employees, as well address vandalism or damage to permitted public spaces. This Procedure provides a framework to help identify where individual actions can be construed to breach of the Municipal Alcohol Policy and what steps can be taken. When facility damage occurs, the damage deposit will be retained to cover associated repair costs. The Permit Holder will be notified of the issue, and a written warning will be issued.

By-law passed this 27th day of April, 2026. ________________________________ Kevin Ashe, Mayor ________________________________ Susan Cassel, City Clerk - 242 - Exhibit “A” to By-law 8247/26 Amendment 55 to the City of Pickering Official Plan - 243 - Amendment 55 to the Pickering Official Plan Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to remove the “Pedestrian Predominant Street” designation from the planned north-south road between Taunton Road and Marathon Avenue. This change will facilitate the development of a retail- commercial plaza on the western portion of the lands and accommodate a future development block on the eastern portion with potential for residential and/or commercial uses. Location: The site-specific amendment affects the lands located within the Lamoreaux Neighbourhood in the Seaton Urban Area, between Taunton Road, Peter Matthews Drive, Marathon Avenue, and Burkholder Drive, described as Block 76, 40M-2664, and Block 188, 40M-2671, Part of Lots 23 & 24, Concession 3, City of Pickering. Basis: Through the review of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 25-001P and Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/25, City Council determined that the Amendment appropriately addresses site-specific grading constraints affecting the subject lands. The subject lands contain a significant grade change between the northwest and southeast portions of the site, which limits the ability to construct the planned north-south road at-grade with the adjacent development blocks. As a result, the roadway would not be able to function as a “Pedestrian Predominant Street” with direct storefront access and a strong pedestrian-oriented built form, as originally intended. Further technical review also determined that designing the road to municipal standards, including accommodating stormwater management requirements and elevation transitions, would constrain the site design and limit the ability to achieve a practical and functional layout for a grocery-anchored retail- commercial plaza. In particular, the grading differences across the site reduce the ability to provide at-grade commercial frontage along the eastern edge of the planned north-south road and limit opportunities to establish a continuous pedestrian-oriented street edge. The Amendment therefore removes the “Pedestrian Predominant Street” designation to allow the roadway to function as a private internal road that better responds to the site’s grading conditions while supporting appropriate stormwater management and site circulation. City Council is satisfied that the Amendment maintains the broader intent of the Community Node policies within the Pickering Official Plan by facilitating the development of a neighbourhood-scale retail-commercial plaza that will provide needed commercial services to the surrounding Seaton community. - 244 - Actual Amendment: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: 1.Amending Schedule VIII – Neighbourhood 16: Lamoreaux by removing the “Pedestrian Predominant Street” designation on the planned north-south road between Taunton Road and Marathon Avenue, on Block 188, 40M-2671, as illustrated on Schedule ‘A’ attached to this amendment. 2.Amending Section 12.18 Lamoreaux Neighbourhood Policies, in Chapter 12 – Urban Neighbourhoods, by incorporating the following new subsection: “12.18(l) shall, despite Section 11.7(b), not require the Community Node on Taunton Road to contain a Pedestrian Predominant Street.” Implementation: The provisions set forth in the City of Pickering Official Plan, as amended, regarding the implementation of the Plan shall apply in regard to this Amendment. Interpretation: The provisions set forth in the City of Pickering Official Plan, as amended, regarding the interpretation of the Plan shall apply in regard to this Amendment.

The amendment revises policies that will permit building heights of up to 36 storeys, and provide for a future urban podium school site. Further, the amendment repeals and replaces Schedule XIV, Sheet 4 of 4 revising the future road network, and identifying the location of a proposed controlled intersection, the expanded public park and privately-owned public spaces. Location: The site-specific amendment affects the lands located south of Pickering Parkway, east of Brock Road, and north of Highway 401, described as Part of Lots 17 and 18, Concession 1, Now Parts 1 to 6, 40R-11780, Part 13, 40R-15636, Parts 1 to 3 and 5 to 11, 40R-20443, and Part 3, 40R-31322, in the City of Pickering. Basis: Through the review of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 22-002P and Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 05/22, City Council determined that the proposed amendments will facilitate a high-density, mixed-use development that represents appropriate intensification within the built-up area, makes efficient use of existing and planned infrastructure and services, and supports redevelopment in an area intended for higher densities. The subject lands are located along Brock Road, which is identified as a Type “A” Arterial Road and Transit Spine in the Pickering Official Plan. These corridors are intended to accommodate higher-density, mixed-use development and are supported by a higher level of transit service. This Official Plan Amendment will be implemented through a site-specific zoning by-law amendment that permits a broad range of residential, commercial, and office uses, and introduces zoning provisions, including but not limited to those related to floor space index, building heights, building setbacks and stepbacks, tower floor plate size, active at grade frontages, and parking. The proposed development permits a range of building height from 12 storeys to a maximum of 36 storeys. The built form has been appropriately located to provide appropriate transition and compatibility with existing low to medium- density residential development and planned high-density development to the north. The maximum building heights are concentrated near Highway 401 and Brock Road, with heights stepping down towards existing residential areas to ensure an appropriate scale and transition. This amendment also implements a revised street network that is generally consistent with Official Plan Amendment 38, ensuring appropriate connectivity, a range of mobility options, and the orderly and coordinated development of the subject lands and adjacent lands to the north and east. - 253 - Overall, the proposed phased, mixed-use, high-density residential development will contribute to a complete community by integrating residential, commercial and institutional uses in a compact, pedestrian-oriented, and transit supportive built form. Its design promotes active transportation, efficient use of municipal infrastructure, and connectivity within the site and to surrounding areas, supporting both walkability and transit use while reinforcing the corridor’s role as a higher-density, mixed use area. Accordingly, the proposed Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and Regional Official Plan and conforms to the intent and objectives of the Pickering Official Plan and Official Plan Amendment 38. Actual Amendment: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: 1.Repealing and replacing Schedule XIV: Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas, Sheet 4 of 4 - Brock Precinct Intensification Area, to amend the location of the Future Public Street, Public Park, and Privately Owned Public Space, and add a new Proposed Controlled Intersection, as illustrated on Schedule ‘A’ attached to this amendment. 2.Revising Section 11A.6, regarding the Brock Precinct, by adding sub-sections (l) and (m)to read as follows: “(l) if the Durham District School Board, or a successor or counterpart, determines there is a need to develop a school on the lands located south of Pickering Parkway east of Brock Road, and north of Highway 401, described as Part of Lots 17 and 18, Concession 1, Now Parts 1 to 6, 40R-11780, Part 13, 40R-15636, Parts 1 to 3 and 5 to 11, 40R-20443, and Part 3, 40R-31322, an urban school will be integrated into the podium of a high-rise development, subject to the following additional policies: (i)the location of a potential urban school should be adjacent to municipal parkland and a public street; and (ii)the obligation to convey land for an urban school will be secured through an appropriate condition of approval of a plan of subdivision, land severance, or condition of approval of a plan of condominium.

Note: Written Decision of the Ontario Land Tribunal issued on March 31, 2026 OLT Case No. OLT-25-000437 March 31, 2026 - 321 - Exhibit “A” to By-law 8258/26 Amendment 57 to the City of Pickering Official Plan - 322 - Amendment 57 to the Pickering Official Plan Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to provide for a site-specific exception on lands municipally known as 1101A, 1105, and 1163 Kingston Road to permit a high-density mixed-use development with a maximum floor space index of 5.0 with building heights ranging between 19 and 47 storeys. Location: The site-specific amendment affects the lands located on the south side of Kingston Road, west of Walnut Lane, east of Dixie Road, north of Highway 401; and municipally known as 1101A, 1105, and 1163 Kingston Road. Basis: Through the review of Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 24-002/P and Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 02/24, City Council determined that the amendments facilitate a development that is compatible with the surrounding community, minimizes adverse impacts on the existing low-density residential neighbourhood north of the Kingston Road Corridor, and represents appropriate intensification along the Kingston Road corridor. The subject lands are located south of Kingston Road, which is designated as an arterial road and a Rapid Transit Spine intended to accommodate higher- density mixed-use development. The proposed amendments facilitate the development of a complete community by implementing zoning that permits a broad range of residential, commercial and institutional uses on-site. The zoning amendment also secures necessary recreational uses and public service facilities, including public and private parks, and contemplates an urban-format elementary school and a daycare facility integrated into the podium of the proposed buildings. In addition, the amendments establish the street network contemplated by Official Plan Amendment 38, ensuring appropriate connectivity, mobility choice, and the orderly coordinated development of the subject lands and adjacent lands to the west. This street network will support future development while integrating with the broader Kingston Road corridor and surrounding neighbourhoods. Accordingly, the proposed official plan amendment is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 and conforms to the intent and objectives of the Pickering Official Plan as amended by Official Plan Amendment 38. Actual Amendment: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: 1.Repealing and replacing Schedule XIV, Sheet 3 of 4 – Dunbarton/Liverpool Precinct Intensification Area to amend the location of the Future Public Street, Future Private Street, POPS and Public Park; as illustrated on Schedule ‘A’ attached to this Amendment. 2.Adding a new Sub-Section to City Policy “11A.5 within the Dunbarton-Liverpool Precinct, to read as follows: - 323 - “(j) On lands described on the date of this amendment as Part of Lots 23 and 24, Concession 1, City of Pickering and municipally known as 1101A, 1105, and 1163 Kingston Road (i)if the Durham District School Board or a successor or counterpart elects to develop a school, an urban elementary school will be integrated into the podium of a high-rise development, subject to the following additional policies: i.the location of a potential urban elementary school should be adjacent to municipal parkland and a public street; and ii.the obligation to convey land for an urban elementary school will be secured through an appropriate condition of approval of a plan of subdivision, land severance, or condition of approval of a plan of condominium.
