Exhibit "A" to By-law
Recommended Amendment 27.
to the City of Pickering Official Plan
Recommended Amendment 27 to the Pickering Official Plan Page 1
Purpose: The purpose of this Amendment is to add new policies to, and
change existing policies and schedules in the Pickering Official
Plan with regard to the natural environment and countryside areas
to bring the Plan into conformity with the various Federal,
Provincial, Regional, Conservation Authority, and other policy
initiatives, including, but not limited to the Greenbelt Plan, the
Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and the Durham Regional
Official Plan. Other policy changes include updated mapping to
reflect certain modifications to the road network, including the
identification of Highway 407, resolving various Deferrals, and
minor revisions reflecting new terminology and housekeeping
matters.
Location: The Amendment applies City wide.
Basis: The City is undertaking an Official Plan Review in accordance with
the requirements of the Planning Act. The review is being
undertaken through a series of topic oriented amendments. The
need for the review reflects the fact that, since the approval of the
Official Plan in 1997, a significant number of new initiatives have
been undertaken by the Federal Government, the Province, the
Region of Durham, the City and other agencies including the
Conservation Authorities which relate to the natural environment
and countryside areas.
The Natural Environment and Countryside Policy Study dated
February 2011, provides the foundation for this Amendment. The
study reflects the results of technical analysis as well as
consultation with agencies, the public and other stakeholders. It
reviewed and recommended updates to the natural heritage and
other environmental and countryside policies in the Official Plan to
conform to revised Provincial and Region of Durham policies;
respond to Conservation Authority initiatives; and introduce new
City initiatives. The Policy Study recommendations were further
refined and augmented by staff to reflect more recent changes
brought about through new Provincial Policy and Conservation
Authority initiatives, as well as current conditions based on
available background information.

hazard plus a dynamic beach allowance.
Hazardous lands means property or lands that could be unsafe
for development due to naturally occurring processes. Along a
creek, this means the land, including that covered by water, to
the furthest landward limit of the flooding hazard or erosion
hazard limits. Along the Lake Ontario shoreline, this means
the land, including that covered by water, between the
international boundary, where applicable, and the furthest
landward limit of the flooding hazard, erosion hazard, or
dynamic beach hazard limits.
•
Hazardous sites means property or lands that could be unsafe
for development and site alteration due to naturally occurring
hazards.
High Aquifer'Vulnerability or High Vulnerable Aquifer means
an aquifer on which external sources have or are likely to have a
significant adverse effect, due to the permeability and
thickness of overlying layers.
Hydrologically Sensitive Feature includes wetlands, permanent
and intermittent streams, kettle lakes, seepage areas and
springs,Lake Ontario,and the Lake Ontario Shoreline.

industry.
Significant other features and areas means those other features

Provincial Policy Statement and Section 3.2.4 of the Greenbelt
Plan that are ecologically important in terms of features,
functions, representation, or amount, and contribute to the
quality and diversity of an identifiable geographic area or
natural heritage system. While some significant resources may
already be identified and inventoried, the significance of others
can only be determined after evaluation.
Significant Valleylands means a natural area that occurs in a
valley or other landform depression that has water flowing
through or standing for some period of the year, which is
ecologically important in terms of features, functions,
representation or amount, and contribute to the quality and
diversity of the natural heritage system.
Significant Wildlife Habitat means areas where plants, animals
and other organisms live, and find adequate amounts of food,
water, shelter and space needed to sustain their populations,
which are ecologically important in terms of their features,
functions, representation or amount, and contribute to the
quality and diversity of the natural heritage system. Specific
wildlife habitats of concern may include areas where species
concentrate at a vulnerable point in their annual or life cycle;
and areas which are important to migratory or non-migratory
species.
Significant Woodlands (off the Oak Ridges Moraine)means an
area which is ecologically important in terms of features such as
species composition, age of trees and stand history; functionally
important due to its contribution to the broader landscape
because of its location, size, or due to site quality, species
composition, or past management history. In the Oak Ridges
Moraine, significant woodlands are further defined by the
Province in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the
associated technical guidelines.
Vegetation Protection Zone means a buffer area adjacent to a
key natural heritage feature or a hydrologically sensitive feature
that is intended to protect the feature and its ecological
function from adjacent land use impacts.

Water-related Hazards means water-associated phenomena
other than flooding hazards and wave uprush which act on
shorelines. This includes, but is not limited to ship generated
waves, ice piling, and ice jamming.
, Watershed means an area that is drained by a river and its
tributaries.
Wave Uprush means the rush of water up onto a shoreline or
structure following the breaking of a wave, with the limit of
wave uprush being the point of furthest landward rush of water
onto the shoreline.
Wetlands means lands that are seasonally or permanently
covered by shallow water, as well as lands where the water table
is close to or at the surface. In either case the presence of
abundant water has caused the formation of hydric soils and
has favoured the dominance of either hydrophytic plants or
water tolerant plants. The four major types of wetlands are
swamps, marshes, bogs and fens. Periodically soaked or wet
lands being used for agricultural purposes which no longer
exhibit wetland characteristics are not considered to be
wetlands for the purposes of this definition."
