Executive Summary: The subject property is located on the east side of Liverpool Road, south of Bayly Street, and currently supports an existing building (see Location Map, Attachment #1 and Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #2). Current zoning permits a detached dwelling and professional office uses. The applicant proposes to amend the zoning of the property to include a day spa as an additional permitted use within the ground floor of the existing building, while retaining a dwelling unit in the basement. The applicant does not propose to expand the existing building. Consequently, the attached amending by-law permits the proposed day spa use, and presently permitted uses to be carried out within the existing building. In the event the property is redeveloped, any new development will be required to comply with the updated requirements set out in the new amending by-law. Approval of this zoning by-law will establish a zoning for the property which is consistent with the draft zoning proposed for the abutting property immediately to the south. This proposal is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and conforms to the Pickering Official Plan. Required parking for the proposed day spa use can be accommodated by existing on-site parking. Presently, parking is located within the front yard and partially within the municipal boulevard. It is recommended that the owner be required to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City to recognize the existing boulevard parking condition. The City's requirement for an encroachment agreement will be secured through the site plan approval process for the property. It is recommended that this application be approved, and the draft by-law be forwarded to City Council for enactment. Report PD 28-05 Subject: Paul & Rochelle Avis (A 02~05) Date: June 6,2005 Page 2 Financiallmplications: pmposed development. No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the Background: 1.0 Comments Received 1.1 At the March 24, 2005, Public Information Meeting No public spoke at the Public Information Meeting (see Text of Information Report, Attachment #3 and Meeting Minutes, Attachment #4). Written comments from the Peace Lutheran Church regarding parking for the site were received after the Public Meeting. The church expressed concern over the adequacy of parking for this use. These concerns have since been addressed through discussions with the applicant. 1.2 City Department and Agency Comments Veridian Connections no objections; Region of Durham Planning Department no objections; the proposal is permitted by the policies of the Durham Region Official Plan, and there are no matters of provincial interest related to this application (see Attachment #5); Development Control - Department _ no objections; parking and access to the site will be addressed through any redevelopment of the site. 2.0 2.'1 Discussion The Proposed Use Complies with the Pickering Official Plan and is Compatible with Surrounding Uses The City of Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as Mixed Use Area - Mixed Corridor within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood - Detailed Review Area. Permissible uses within this designation include: residential, retailing of goods and services (generally servicing the needs of the surrounding neighbourhood), offices, restaurants, community and special purpose commercial uses. In addition, the property is subject to the Liverpool Road Waterfront Development Guidelines. The guiding vision for this area is to provide a mix of uses in an attractive and inviting setting. Report PD 28-05 Subject: Paul & Rochelle Avis (A 02/05) Date: June 6, 2005 Page 3 2.2 2.3 The property is surrounded by a mixture of commercial and residential land uses that have existed in this local area for numerous years. The proposed additional use is considered to be compatible with existing development in this neighbourhood. Presently Permitted Uses and the Proposed Day Spa Use will be Permitted Within the Existing Building; any New Development will be Required to Comply with the Updated Requirements of the Amending Zoning By-law It is recommended that a day spa, in addition to presently permitted residential and professional office uses, be included as a permitted use on the property. No new development is proposed as part of this application. The proposed day spa and a basement dwelling unit are proposed to be located within the existing building on-site. Future redevelopment of the property will be controlled by the proposed amending by-law. Any redevelopment of the site, through demolition or extensive expansion, will be required to comply with the updated zoning standards set out in the amending by-law. An application to redevelop the property immediately south of the Avis property to permit business and professional office uses within a new structure (Goodman et al.) was approved by Council in 2001, subject to conditions. The amending by-law proposed for the Avis property is similar to the draft by-law that has been prepared for the Goodman property. The proposed amending by-law includes provisions respecting build-to-zones, height restriction, and parking requirements to ensure that future redevelopment encompasses streetscape and pedestrian friendly elements, as well as implementing the development guidelines of the Pickering Official Plan. Applying a similar zoning to both properties ensures that the any future development is consistent and compatible with surrounding development. The existing zoning of the subject property provides a specific list of professional office uses including a physician, dentist, lawyer, architect, engineer, chartered accountant, and real estate or insurance agent. It is recommended that the amending by-law update and simplify these provisions by permitting professional and business offices as permitted uses. A day spa will also be included as a separate use. The subject property will be designated "CO-DS". An Encroachment Agreement with the City Respecting Parking in the Municipal Boulevard will be Required As Part of the Site Plan Review Process The property currently supports parking within the front and side yards, and a portion of the parking area is located within the Liverpool Road municipal boulevard. This is an existing condition that is similar to other properties located on the east side of Liverpool Road, between Bayly Street and Tatra Drive. Report PD 28-05 Date: June 6, 2005 Subject: Paul & Rochelle Avis (A 02/05) Page 4 In the event the site is redeveloped, consideration may be given to allow a portion of the required parking to be provided on the lands owned by the City (Block AZ, Plan M-14), located on the west side of Liverpool Road (subject to agreement with City). This would ensure that any parking generated through redevelopment of the site will not negatively impact the surrounding neighbourhood, or interfere with the flow of traffic along Liverpool Road. As no new development is proposed through this application, staff recommends that the existing parking area within the front yard and municipal boulevard be allowed to continue. However, the encroachment condition should be formally recognized through an agreement between the property owner and the City. The owner is required to obtain site plan approval to address parking and signage for the property, therefore it is recommended that an encroachment agreement be obtained as part of the site plan review process. 2.4 The Gross Floor Area for the Day Spa is Limited A day spa is currently operating on-site as a home based business, with a restricted floor area of 50 square metres. An increase in floor area for this use is requested by the applicant, however as the site is constrained by both the availability of space within the existing building and the availability of on-site parking, it is recommended that the total floor area for the day spa be restricted to a maximum of 110 square metres within the existing building. This restriction will not adversely effect the operation of the day spa, and will ensure that the parking generated from the proposed use will not exceed the existing parking available on-site (see Owner's Explanation of the Operation of the Day Spa, Attachment #6). A dwelling unit can continue to function within the existing building, in addition to the proposed day spa. Tandem parking spaces are located on the south side of the existing structure for use by residents of the dwelling unit. 3.0 Applicant's Comments The applicant is aware of the content of this report and has agreed to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City as part of the associated site plan approval process.

Corporation of the C~. of Picketing One The Esplanade Pickering ON L1V 6K7 RE: Parking space requirement at 93i Liverpool Rd Dear Lynda, Wr~h only my wife and me working in our one-to-one business (client to service provider) we can never foresee the need for more than three parking spaces at any one time at our 931 Liverpool Road location, Re majodty of our business is by appointments; however, we do have the occasional walk-in where people park briefly to make future appointments. Uh,,,,e a retail outlet, our clients spend on average one hour of their time with us. Although our history is bdef, our c, iht traffic records indicate that at the most we could only be taking care of a total of two customers at the same time and on a few occasions one person may arrive early for their appointment, thus the three parking space requirements. For example, on Wednesday, Apdl 6, 2005, my wife had a client that arrived at 10:00 a.m. and left at 1:30 p.m. During that same period, I also had one client. in addition, we have also reached an understanding with our neighbour to the our immediate Western boarder, the Peace Lutheran Church, who no longer has any opposition to our rezoning application, as documented in an emait which we forwarded to our City Councillor, Doug Dickerson. Should you require any further clarification or have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call 905-420-0020, dudng business hours 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. TUesday to Saturday, or our home number at 905-420-0867 for all other non-business hours. ~v~ would like to thank you for this opportunity to provide clarification to our parking space requirements.
