PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
816 - 852 Kingston Road is located on the north side of Kingston Road directly
opposite the 401 on / off ramp, and has frontage on both Kingston Road and
Sheppard Avenue. The site is also known as the "Old Dunbarton School Site"
(see Attachment #1);
the property abuts existing residential development on the north, west and
east sides, and a vacant site on the west that is zoned for a mixed
commercial, retail, and office land use and is currently subject to Site Plan
Application S07/03. A site plan of the proposed development of the adjoining
property is attached (see Attachment #2).
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL
through a Plan of Subdivision the applicant proposes to further divide the
existing two properties into six blocks. The applicant also proposes to amend
the existing "R3" - Residential zoning, that requires 18 metre lot frontages on
the subject lands to permit a combination of commercial, open space and
residential land uses on the blocks created through the Plan of Subdivision
(see Attachment #3).

BACKGROUND
prior to circulation Regional and City Councillors held a community meeting to
discuss and obtain preliminary response from the residents surrounding the
site. At the conclusion of the meeting it was determined that a smaller
neighbourhood working group be established to continue discussion on this
proposal throughout the review process. The applicant and residents were all
interested in working together to reach an amicable outcome through this less
formal process;
at the time of writing this report the focus group meeting has not been held.
Scheduling conflicts have made it necessary to postpone the neighbourhood
working group meeting until after the Public Information Meeting.
OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING
Durham Reqional Official Plan
identifies the property as being within the 'Living Area' designation;
'Living Areas' should be developed to incorporate the widest possible variety
of housing types, sizes and to provide living accommodations that address
various socio-economic factors;
'Living Areas' shall be developed in compact form through higher densities
and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial
roads;
the intent of the DROP is to achieve a compact urban form, including
intensive residential, office, retail and service and mixed uses along arterial
roads;
consolidation of special purpose commercial uses into nodes, with particular
emphasis on common internal traffic circulation and restricted access to
arterial roads by means of service or collector roads;
the attenuation of noise through design rather than fences is encouraged;
maximization of exposure to direct sunlight is encouraged;
Pickerinq Official Plan
identifies the subject property as being designated 'Mixed Use Area - Mixed
Corridor';
this designation permits development at a larger scale and intensity to serve
the broader area;
uses permitted include residential, retailing of goods and services, offices and
restaurants, and community cultural and recreational;
residential development should be at a density of over 30 and up to and
including 140 dwellings per hectare (the proposed residential density is
approximately 53 units per hectare);

Compendium Document (North East Quadrant)

development within the area:
no more than one row of parking between buildings and Kingston Road;
a build-to-zone is required on Kingston Road within which 40% of the length
will contain the front walls of buildings;
buildings are to be greater than one storey in height;
building heights should be a minimum of 6.5 metres;
Zoninc~ By-law 3036 ("R3" - Detached Dwellinqs)
the subject property is currently zoned "R3" - Detached Dwellings by

550 square metres area and a lot frontage minimum of 18 metres.
RESULTS OF CIRCULATION
- at the time of writing this report no comments or concerns have been received
by residents, City departments or external circulation;
Staff Comments
in reviewing the application to date, the following matters have been identified
by staff for further review and consideration:
· impact of change from existing Iow density development to the Official
Plan designated medium density. This will include reviewing appropriate
setbacks, height and privacy issues;
· review streetscape of proposed residential development in order to
provide a development that is both compatible within the character of the
existing neighbourhood and serves as an interlace between this area and
surrounding lands;
· consider reducing the density of residential development in order to provide
a design that is more compatible to the residents on Sheppard Avenue;
· traffic impacts on Sheppard Avenue due to increased number of
driveways and vehicles;
· provision of an appropriately located pedestrian walkway that connects
Kingston Road and Sheppard Avenue;
internal vehicular flow;
impact of on-site vehicular flow on abutting residential uses;
increasing amount of development within the build-to-zone;
landscaping to minimize visual impact of parking;
the neighbourhood working group will be used to continue an open forum
between the City, residents and the applicant.

identifies the subject property as being designated an 'Urban Residential Area
- Medium Density Area' within the Village East Neighbourhood;
this designation permits medium density residential development at a density
of over 30 and up to and including 80 dwellings per net hectare (the proposal
is for approximately 50 units per net hectare);
Zoning By-law 3036 ('R3' - Detached Dwellinqs)
- the subject property is currently zoned "R3" - Detached Dwellings by
By-law 3036;
~ this zoning permits detached dwellings only with a minimum of 550 square

RESULTS OF CIRCULATION
at the time of writing this report no comments or concerns have been received

in reviewing the application to date, the following matters have been identified
by staff for further review and consideration:
· impact of change from existing Iow-density development to the Official
Plan designated medium density. This will include reviewing appropriate
setbacks, height and privacy issues;
· provision of adequate resident and visitor parking within the site
boundaries;
internal vehicular flow;
the current draft site plan design appears to represent an over
development. The proposed buildings have a footprint that are too large
for the site and do not take the provision of appropriate on-site vehicular
flow and parking into account;
potential for future use of the rear section of the subject site.
