Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 02/01 Sean Michael Greene Part of Lot 3, Plan 2812 (Rockwood Drive, north of Hogarth Street) City of Picketing 1.0 PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION the site consists of land assembled from nine developed large lot residential properties located between Pinegrove Avenue and Woodview Avenue, north of Rockwood Drive which hms north from Hogarth Street (see Attachment #1 for the location map); this site has an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, and includes one existing dwelling in the north-west comer; the site is generally level, currently occupied by rear yards maintained by the existing residential property owners, one,, detached dwelling and various fencing, accessory buildings, hedges, trees and other' vegetation; the site is situated between deep lots occupied by detached dwellings fronting onto Woodview Avenue to the east and Pinegrove Avenue to the west. The site is situated immediately north of detached dwellings located on the north side of Hogarth Street and Rockwood Drive. 2.0 APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL the applicant proposes to develop the subject site with detached dwellings on 15 lots with minimum frontages of 15 metres, minimum side yards of 1.2 metres, minimum front yards of 4.5 metres and maximum lot coverages of 38% of lot areas; the proposed lots are to have lot depths of between 36 and 67 metres; the proposed lots are intended to :Front onto a northerly extension of Rockwood Drive; the applicant's submitted plan is included as Attachment #2; new homes would be constructed on all of the proposed lots, with demolition of the dwelling on the north-west comer required to accommodate new dwellings at that location. 3.0 3.1 OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING Durham Regional Official Plan designates the site as "Living Area" where lands are to be used predominantly for housing purposes; Information Report -No. 12-01 Page 2 3.2 Pickering Official Plan - designates the site "Urban Residential - Low Density Area", located within the Highbush Neighbourhood; this designation permits residential uses at a net residential density up to and including 30 dwellings per net hectare; - this development proposes a net site density of approximately 12.5 units per hectare, which is within the permitted density range; - the Official Plan contains a policy that development shall maximize the efficiency of existing infrastructure and minimize the consumption of vacant land by the addition of residential units within the South Pickering Urban Area; - the site is within the Highbush Neighbourhood, and is subject to neighbourhood policies. Those policies include: a proposed road connection of the northern part of Rockwood Drive to the southern part of Rockwood Drive; provision of a new local road connection between Woodview and Pine Grove Avenues through the review of development proposals and in consultation with land owners; encourage development in this area to be compatible with the character of existing development and preserve significant vegetation. The character to be considered includes low lot coverage, existing lotting pattern, style and siting of dwellings and significant mature vegetation. New dwellings and lots fronting new internal streets are to create density and lot frontage gradients with development fronting the existing older roads by use of buffering between the new and existing development, careful establishment of lot lines and siting of new dwellings to reflect existing building setbacks and yard depths, and to protect significant vegetation. all new lots created by this application are to have minimum lot frontages of approximately 15 metres, and minimum lot depths ranging between 36 and 67 metres; this proposal will extend Rockwood Drive further north with potential further extension in the future, if and when similar back-lot infill development proceeds in the area to the north between this proposed development and the draft approved Molinaro subdivision. 3.3 4.0 4.1 Zoning By-law 3036 - the site is zoned "R4" - One-Family Detached Dwelling Fourth Density Zone in By-law 3036; - this zoning permits detached dwellings on lots with minimum frontages of 15 metres and minimum lot areas of 460 square metres; - amendment to the standard provisions for front yard setback, side yard setback and lot coverage of the "R4" zoning is required in order to permit this proposal.

Staff Comments Preliminary Review of the Draft Plan a similar subdivision is proceeding to final approval farther to the north (the Molinaro subdivision that will result in the construction of a further portion of the Rockwood Drive connection (see Attachment #1). When further development occurs on the other block north of the Molinaro subdivision, and similar back-lot infill subdivision occurs between the subject deve]topment and the Molinaro subdivision, the northern and southern parts of Rockwood ]Drive can be connected; options for a suitable location t%r an east-west connection between Pinegrove and Woodview Avenues will be reviewed, along with the issue of whether it should occur through the subject lands; the reasons why the rear lot lines at the eastern edge of the proposed subdivision are staggered and whether this is appropriate will be evaluated; the draft plan will be reviewed to ensure that orderly development occurs that is compatible with the character of the area; an appropriate use of the 7.62 metre right-of-way currently providing access to the existing dwelling in the north-west comer of this subdivision will be recommended; the relationship of Block 55 to the west and this subdivision will be examined; the proposed variations from the "R4" zoning standards for front yards, side yards and lot coverage will be evaluated; appropriate treatment for the rear yard of the lot fronting onto Pinegrove Avenue that is not part of this subdivision (between proposed Lots//4 and #5) Will be evaluated; a cul-de-sac will have to be constructed at the northern end of the extension of Rockwood Drive with appropriate setbacks from a new road bulb.

(Lands on both sides of Commerce Street, extending west to Frenchman's Bay and south to the Lake Ontario shoreline, along both sides of Liverpool Road) City of Picketing 1.0 2.0 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - the proposed amendment would apply to lands within the Liverpool Road South Study Area, including both sides of Commerce Street, extending west to Frenchman's Bay and east to the Hydro Marsh. Both sides of Liverpool Road and the historic "Village of Fairport" are included (see Attachment #1); - existing development in the area includes a mixture of housing, marinas, restaurant, boat storage, marine service, the Region of Durham sewage pumping station, the former Coolwater Farms aquaculture facility, park and natural open space uses. BACKGROUND 2.1 Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review in July, 1999, the City received two major development applications for lands within an area identified by the Picketing Official Plan as a Detailed Review Area. The Official Plan requires Council to complete the Detailed Review prior to dealing with major applications; in December, 1999, Council endorsed the Terms of Reference for a Detailed Review of the Liverpool Road South Area to establish comprehensive land use, urban design, transportation, and environmental management guidelines for the area. The Detailed Review consists of two parts: Part 1 focused on background information about the study area, land use, development guidelines and an implementation strategy. Part 2 establishes a design "theme" for the area, and expresses that theme in detailed architectural, landscape and streetscape guidelines; the final products of the Review will be a City-initiated Official Plan Amendment, Development Guidelines including an Implementation Strategy, and Informational Revisions to the Pickering Official Plan. Some additional information on the Detailed Review is provided in Attachment #2; in June, 2000, Council discussed potential amendments to the Picketing Official Plan resulting from Part 1 of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review. At this meeting, Council: received as background information the "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Part 1, Phase 1 and 2 Reports"; Information Report No. 11-01 Page 2 024 adopted in principle the "Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines", the "Liverpool[ Road Waterfront Node Revised Implementation Strategy", and related informational revisions to the Picketing Official Plan; directed City Staff to hold a Statutory Public Information Meeting following Part 2 of the "Liverpool Road South Detailed Review" to discuss potential amendments to the Pickering Official Plan required to implement the results of Part 1, as set out in Appendix V to Report Number PD 26-00 and further modified by Council [Council replaced Clause (m) with a new clause, and deferred Clauses (g) and (h)]; directed City Staff to commence with Part 2 of the "Liverpool Road South Detailed Review"; and directed the City Clerk to fbrward a copy of Staff's Report prepared for that meeting to various committees and agencies; copies of Council Resolution #96/00 from the June 2000 meeting, and Appendix V from Report Number PD 26-00 are provided as Attachments #3 to #4 respectively, to this Report; in February, 2001, Part 2 of the Review commenced; in March, 2001, Council directed staff to commence the City-initiated Official Plan Amendment for the entire Liverpool Road Waterfront Node concurrently with Part 2 of the Review; Council directed that staff hold the required Statutory Public Information Meeting on April 19, 2001, to consider potential amendments to the Picketing Official Plan to implement the results of the Detailed Review. 3.0 OFFICIAL PLANS 3.1 Durham Regional Official Plan the Durham Regional Official Plan designates Frenchman's Bay as a "Waterfront Place". Waterfront Places shall be developed as focal points along the waterfront, and exhibit a mix of uses that attract: people for a variety of reasons. The predominant uses may include marina, recreational, tourist, cultural, and community use. Residential uses and employment uses may be permitted, which support and complement the predominant use,,;; 3.2 Pickering Official Plan currently, the Picketing Official Plan designates a major portion of the area as "Open Space System - Marina Areas". In addition to conservation, passive and active recreational uses, and community and cultural uses, this designation identifies the following permissible uses: marinas, yacht clubs and ancillary uses; marina supportive uses, restaurants, limited retail uses; limited residential uses in conjunction with marinas and yacht clubs; aquaculture and other related uses; the East Spit, the Lake Ontario shoreline, and the Class 2 wetland to the east of Frenchman's Bay are designated "Open Space System - Natural Areas" by the Pickering Official Plan. Permissible uses in this category include primarily conservation, education, restoration, and passive recreation uses; the balance of the area north to Commerce Street and immediately beyond, is designated as "Urban Residential[ Areas - Low Density" by the Picketing Official Plan. This designation permits ptimadly residential development at a density of up to 30 units per net hectare. However, other uses may be permissible including: limited offices serving the area; retailing of goods and services serving the area; compatible special purpose commercial uses .serving the area; community cultural and recreational uses; and compatible employment uses; Information Report No. 11-01 Page 3 025 4.0 4.1 4.2 4.2.1 Schedule m of the Plan - "Resource Management" designates portions of the lands adjacent to the water's edge as "Shorelines and Stream Corridors". This designation recognizes that certain lands generally associated with water bodies and stream corridors may feature hazards such as flooding, slope instability and erosion. PROPOSED PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT General Overview the purpose of this City-initiated amendment is to put in place new land use designations and policies for the Liverpool Road South Area, to implement the results of the Detailed Review. Complementary "Waterfront Node Development Guidelines" will also be forwarded to Council to assist in implementing the study results, and to provide further guidance on the policies and designations. The proposed amendment has been prepared considering comments by the public, landowners and agencies as well as the modifications by Council during Part 1 of the Review, and considering comments to-date during Part 2; the proposed amendment is provided as Appendix I to this Report, and includes both proposed text policies and proposed schedule changes. It is proposed that the Picketing Official Plan be amended by: 1. redesignating certain lands to "Open Space System - Marina Areas" on Schedule I - Land Use Structure, as follows: lands on the south side of Annland Street west of Liverpool Road; lands on the east side of Liverpool Road south of Wharf Street; and lands on the east side of Liverpool Road known as "CoolwaterFarms" together with the abutting City-owned lands [see Schedule A to Appendix I]; 2. revising the boundary of the "Wetlands" designation on Schedule m - Resource Management, to reflect new mapping of the provincially significant "Hydro Marsh" wetland [see Schedule B to Appendix I]; and 3. replacing policy 11.4 - Bay Ridges Neighbourhood Policies with new polices to: · incorporate the vision for the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node [see primarily clauses (a) - (e) but also (f) - (m)]; · permit a wider range of uses within the Marina Areas designation subject to certain conditions [see causes (f) and (g)]; · require building designs along Liverpool Road to accommodate ground floor commercial opportunities [clause (h)]; · identify additional implementation strategies for using agreements with the City and parking arrangements [clauses (i) and (j)]; · encourage the introduction of small-scale commercial uses within Fairport Village on a site-specific basis [clause (k)]; · clarify the circumstances under which bay-fill may be considered [clause (1)]; · provide direction on determining development limits on the lands known as "Coolwater Farms" [clause (m)]; and · providing minor rewording of existing clauses on a municipal boat launch and the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail [clauses (n) and (o)]; Detailed Comments Vision the proposed Official Plan Amendment provides a strong policy foundation for guiding future private development and public infrastructure investment within the Waterfront Node as envisioned by the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review; the proposed amendment promotes the nautical heritage of the area including marine and marina-related uses; the amendment encourages a mix of uses including marinas, yacht clubs, marina- supportive facilities, public open space, residential, limited retail, offices, as well as Information Report No. 11-01 026 Page 4 all other uses permissible within the Natural Areas and Active Recreational Areas designations; based on comments to-date through Part 2 of the Review, there continues to be general support for the vision for the area; a comment received at the public', meeting held during Part 2 - Phase I of the Review suggested the "theme" for the area should refer to a "Great Lakes Nautical Village". Although the draft amendment ,aras circulated referring to just a "nautical village", it is now suggested that clause (e) of the amendment be revised to refer to "Great Lakes Nautical Village"; 4.2.2 Waterfront Promenade based on comments received to-date during Part 2 of the Review, it appears some confusion continues to exist about the use of lands within 40 metres of the shoreline, and with the objective of establishing a "waterfront promenade"; as a long term objective, it is proposed that Council work towards the establishment of a publicly-accessible promenade on lands adjacent to Frenchman's Bay [see clause (e)]; it is important to articulate such an objective rather than pursue it 'unofficially' as has been suggested by some; however, it is further recognized that this long term objective may require a variety of implementation approaches (such as leasing land, establishing rights-of-ways, using parkland dedication, etc.), would primarily be implemented in a collaborative approach with "willing" land owners, may vary considerably in terms of its actual proximity to the shoreline, and may in some cases, because of the specific use of a property, not be achievable; it is anticipated that the waterfront promenade would be located somewhere within the "40-metre waterfront use and amenity zone", but the promenade would not be 40 metres wide; the actual width and design is being examined in the detailed guidelines being prepared as Part 2 - Phase 2 of the Review; however, at this time, its width is anticipated to be in the range of 3 and 5 metres; 4.2.3 Waterfront Use and Amenity Zone - Council, as part of the consideration of Appendix V to Report Number PD 26-00, deferred clause (g) and clause (h), [now clause (g)] for consideration in Part 2. At that time, concerns were expressed regarding, the waterfront corridor, stretdhing approximately 40 metres inland fi'om the edge of Frenchman's Bay, running from the Front Street City Park to the bridge at Liverpool Road; - at that time, some comments expressed concern that the policy did not sufficiently restrict lands adjacent to the waterfront for marina, marina-support, waterfront and public uses, and it was feared that the marina uses will be lost; others believed there should be an oppommity to allow some redevelopment for additional uses within this 40-metre wide corridor area providing publicly-accessible spaces and amenities are provided; these opposing opinions appear to still be represented in the comments received to-date during Part 2 of the Review; accordingly, staff re-examined the issue but found the policy approach similar to that recommended by staff in June 2000, best meets the overall objectives of creating a vibrant, active, mixed-use Waterfront Node. The wording of the proposed amendment that was circulated for comment (and is attached to this Report as Appendix I), protects the lands for marina, marina supportive uses, and public and conservation uses unless other public objectives for public Waterfront accessibility can be achieved through a proposed development; some comments have suggested that retailing and shopping activities should be focused along the waterfront, (not along Liverpool Road); the proposed policy would allow such retail opportunities should the market be there; - additional comments on this revised clause are sought; Information Report No. 11-01 Page 5 027 4.2.4 4.2.5 4.2.6 4.2.7 4.2.8 Liverpool Road Corridor clause (h) of the proposed policy requires dwellings fronting on Liverpool Road to be designed to accommodate commercial uses on the ground floor; some comments received to-date during Part 2 of the Review continue to question the viability of commercial uses along Liverpool Road, particularly in the winter; however, the proposed policy approach only sets up the opportunity for commercial uses, it doesn't make it mandatory; Bay-fill the proposed amendment includes Council's substitution in regards to bay-fill [see clause (1)], with a minor revision referencing the need to complete appropriate supporting reports. Based on verbal comments received through Part 2 of the Review to date, this policy remains somewhat controversial; the intent of the clause, as modified by Council in June 2000, was to severely restrict proposals to fill along the edge of Frenchman's Bay when it was the "best" environmental benefit to Frenchman's Bay and its shoreline, and when it would be absolutely required to facilitate waterfront public amenities and pedestrian access. Some comments have suggested that the policy could be improved by providing better clarity on how to define the term "best environmental benefit". Further, some comments suggest there remains merit in allowing limited bay-fill along the shoreline to achieve public objectives within the Waterfront Node. Additional comments from the public, agencies and landowners are sought in this regard; Parking the proposed policy will enable the City to use some new parking arrangements such as off-site parking, and formal on-street parking to serve the area; however, concerns regarding the adequacy of parking for the Waterfront Node continue to be expressed during work on Part 2 of the Review; several people objected to the suggestion that certain existing and future roads should accommodate on-street parking, and were concerned that there may not be enough parking; providing adequate parking for the attractions, facilities and uses within the Waterfront Node will be a collaborative effort between the City and other private landowners during the development of the area; the parking strategies included within the policy and the Development Guidelines are a "package" of oppommities, suggesting both on- and off-street parking; all will likely be required to accommodate future parking demand in this area of limited available land; and the parking situation will also need to be monitored over time; Village of Fairport the proposed amendment encourages opportunities to rejuvenate the historic Village of Fairport by permitting small-scale commercial uses in conjunction with residential uses, subject to certain criteria and site-specific rezoning applications; Development Limits the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is undertaking some work, which may lead to new fill and flood lines, and an Environmentally Sensitive Areas designation on a portion of the lands known as "Coolwater Farms". This information is still in the early draft stages. Thus, a propoSed clause (m) has been added to the draft amendment requiring the proponent, prior to the approval of a zoning by-law amendment, to confirm the developable area of the Coolwater Farms property with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority; Information Report -No. 11-01 Page 6 028 4.2.9 Wetland the report of the Biodiversity Monitoring Program for the Pickering Nuclear Site, prepared by the Toronto and iRegion Conservation Authority, indicates that the wetland evaluation record has 'been updated for the provincially significant "Hydro Marsh" wetland. As a result, the wetland boundary for the Hydro Marsh on Schedule 1II - Resources Management is proposed to be revised to reflect current information; 4.2.10 Environmental Considerations protection of the ecological systeTM continues to be of high importance, the existing Picketing Official Plan contains many polices to safeguard the natural features and functions that apply to this area; the proposed policy for the Waterfront Node builds on these policies in noting the requirement to undertake an environmental report for any proposed bayfilling and highlights the new environmental information emerging for the "Coolwater Farms" prope~y. 5.0 RESULTS OF CIRCULATION 5.1 Resident, Community Association and Agency Comments - no written comments have been received to-date on the proposed amendment application; 5.2 Comments from Part 2 of the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review to-date, there has been one public meeting, several workshops, telephone conversations, and other discussions with residents, landowners, and agencies regarding Part 2 of the Detailed Review; in the course of those discussions, comments have been made that apply to the land use and policy issues; accordingly, staff has used those comments to help draft 'the amendment, and to provide the discussion in section 4.2, for consideration by others, to assist staff in finalizing the amendment for Council's consideration. 6.0 PROCEDURAL INFORMATION 6.1 Official Plan Amendment Approval Authority the Region of Durham may exempt certain local official plan amendments from Regional approval if such applications are determined to be locally significant, and do not exhibit matters of Regional and / or Provincial interest; the Region has verbally confirmed that this application is exempt from Regional Approval; therefore, should Pickering Council give notice of a by-law adopting this proposed amendment, it will be subject of a 20-day appeal period; 6.2 General written comments regarding this proposal should be directed to the Planning & Development Department; - oral comments may be made at the Public Information Meeting; - all comments received will be noted and used as input in a Planning Report prepared by the Planning & Development r)epartment for a subsequent meeting of Council or a Committee of Council; - if you wish to reserve the option to appeal Council's decision, you must provide comments to the City before Council adopts any by-law for this proposal; - if you wish to be notified of Council's decision regarding this proposal, you must request such in writing to the City Clerk.

Copies of the Part 1 - Phase 1 Report were circulated to Members of Council, senior City staff, commenting agencies, as well as members of the public for review and comments. The Part 1 - Phase 1 Report, prepared by the Planning & Development Department, and the consulting firms of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects and TC! Management Consultants Limited, provided a good synthesis of information, comments and proposed directions. Part 1 - Phase 2 Report The second phase of Part 1 involved the refinement of the land use plan, development guidelines, and implementation strategy contained within the Part 1 - Phase 1 Report. Following the May 16, 2000 public meeting, the study team reassessed various aspects of the Phase 1 Report in light of comments received, and made appropriate revisions. The revisions to the principle components of the Part 1 - Phase 1 RepOrt were included within the Part 1 - Phase 2 Report. The Report consists of six parts: Part A: Part B: Part C: Part D: Part E: Part F: Public Consultation Summary; Revised Land Use Plan; Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines; Revised Implementation Strategy; Informational Revisions to the Picketing Official Plan; and Potential Amendments to the Picketing Official Plan. The Part 1 recommendations on land use, transportation, urban design, environmental management and implementation were presented to Council in June, 2000, and were adopted in principle only with some revisions (see resolution #96/00, Attachment #3). Part 2 - Phase 1 Report The Part 2 - Phase 1 Report was prepared by the Picketing Planning & Development Department, and the consulting firms TSH Associates and Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects, in March 2001. This Report recommended a "nautical village" theme for the Area, and gave examples of the various design elements that could guide private development and public infrastructure investment within the Detailed Review Area. A public meeting was held on March 7, 2001 to present and discuss the Reports findings. Part 2 - Phase 2 The Part 2 - Phase 2 Report, currently under preparation, will build on the Great Lakes Nautical Village theme. It will detail the various design elements that will guide private development and public infrastructure investment within the Detailed Review Area. A public meeting will be held May 8th to discuss the draft findings. Final recommendations on both Part 1 and 2 of the Detailed Review will be forwarded to Council for consideration in June, 2001. 038 ATTACHMENT# ,-~ TO ,, I I I EXCERPT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 19TM, 2000: Resolution #96/00 - Item #1 Moved by Councillor Ryan Seconded by Councillor Pickles o o o o That Council receive as background information the "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Part 1 Phase 1 Report", prepared by the Planning and Development Department, and the consulting firms of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects and TCI Management Consultants Limited, dated May 12, 2000; That Council receive as background information the "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Part 1 Phase 2 Report", attached as Appendix I to Report Number PD 26-00, prepared by the Planning and Development Department, and the consulting firms of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates, Markson Borooah Hodgson Architects and TCI Management Consultants Limited, dated June 8, 2000; That Council adopt in principle the "Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines" attached as Appendix II to Planning Report Number PD 26-00, as the City's strategy for detailed land use, urban design, and major street layout within the Liverpool Road South Area; That Council adopt in principle the "Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Revised Implementation Strategy", attached as Appendix III to Report Number PD 26-00, direct City staff to include the Implementation Strategy as an appendix to the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines, and direct City staff to review implementation matters annually and forward appropriate projects for Council's consideration during budget deliberations; That Council adopt in principle "Informational Revision No. 8 to the Picketing Official Plan" attached as Appendix IV to Report Number PD 26-00; That Council direct staff to hold a Statutory Public Information Meeting following Phase 2 to discuss potential amendments to the Pickering Official Plan required to implement the recommendations of the "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review: Part 1 - Phase 2 Report", as generally set out in Appendix V to Report Number PD 26-00 as amended by deleting Clause (m) and substituting therefore the fOllowing: (m) Proposals for bay-fill shall be considered only in cases where bay-fill represents the best environmental benefit to the watershed and when considering proposals for bay- fill, ensure the proposal is limited in scale, designed to facilitate waterfront public amenities and pedestrian access, and improves environmental conditions of Frenchman's Bay and its shoreline; and as further amended by deferring Clause (g) and Clause (h) for consideration in Phase 2 That Council direct staff to commence with the "Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review - Part ", as per the Council-adopted Terms of Reference for the Liverpool Road South Area Detailed Review; and That Council direct the City Clerk to fi>rward a copy of Report Number PD 26-00 to the City's Waterfront Coordinating Committee, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and the Region of Durham.
