That Council endorse the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines, dated December 2016, as set out in Appendix II to Report PLN 01-17, and that final Guidelines be brought forward for approval with the Zoning By-law. Executive Summary: In July 2013, Council authorized staff to prepare a new City Centre Zoning By-1aw to facilitate the future redevelopment and intensification of lands within the City Centre (see Attachment #1, Location Map). In June 2014, staff hosted an open house to receive comments from the public and landowners on draft City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. The guidelines provide design direction for growth and intensification, to guide building design and private-sector development, and to promote investments in public infrastructure in the City Centre. The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines have been revised to be consistent with the City Centre Zoning By-law and OPA 26. City Development staff propose to amend Zoning By-laws 3036 and 2511 to remove all of the lands within the City Centre from these parent by-laws and create a new standalone City Centre Zoning By-law. The City Centre Zoning By-law includes new zone categories, permits a broad range of uses, incorporates new development standards to regulate the size, location, massing and height of buildings, identifies minimum and maximum floorspace indeces, and introduces new vehicle and bicycle parking standards. Since the Information Meeting on May 9, 2016, City Development staff have held numerous meetings with landowners and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to discuss their comments and concerns regarding the proposed provisions within the new City Centre Zoning By-law. Based on these discussions, City staff have made a number of changes to the zoning by-law to allow greater flexibility in the design of buildings. Some of the key changes include additional clarification and revisions related to patios, temporary sales offices, parking regulations and shared parking calculations, loading spaces, tower floor plate size, building height, building setbacks and stepbacks and holding provisions. Report PLN 01-17 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/16 January 9, 2017 Page 2 The Downtown Pickering Landowners Group, consisting of owners of the lands adjacent to the Krosno Creek (both on the east and west side, south of Highway 401 and north of Bayly Street), have prepared additional detailed information regarding the channel design and development limits for Krosno Creek, which is currently under review by the TRCA. The final recommended City Centre Zoning By-law will be brought forward to Council for enactment when the Krosno Creek Natural Heritage System Zone boundary has been agreed to by the City, the TRCA and the Downtown Pickering Landowners Group. In addition to changes requested by the landowners, the following requirements have been included in the by-law: transitional provisions for complete Site Plan Approval applications and building permits that are currently under review; setback requirements from the Highway 401 corridor and Natural Heritage System Zone boundary; minimum landscaped area requirements, and site specific exceptions for certain properties within the City Centre lands to recognize existing permissions and site conditions. The new standalone City Centre Zoning By-law achieves Council's vision for the City Centre while at the same time being flexible in terms of use and development standards to address the anticipated long-term build-out of the City Centre lands. Staff recommend that Council endorse the City Centre Zoning By-law as set out in Appendix I to this report, and that the final recommended City Centre Zoning By-law be brought forward for Council's enactment when the Krosno Creek Natural Heritage System Zone boundary has been agreed to by the City, the TRCA, and the Downtown Pickering Landowners Group. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed amendment. 1. Background: In 2011, the City initiated a Downtown Intensification Study to set out a Vision for the future land uses within Downtown Pickering, now referred to as the City Centre. The City began this process to implement the Province of Ontario's Growth Plan (Places to Grow), which identifies the City Centre as an "Urban Growth Centre". In July 2013, following an intensive public consultation process, a Vision for the City Centre was endorsed by Council in a report entitled "Downtown Pickering — A Vision for Intensification and Framework for Investment". The endorsement of the report by Council provided the planning basis for an amendment to the Pickering Official Plan and the preparation of draft urban design guidelines and a new zoning by-law. On July 14, 2014, Council approved Official Plan Amendment 26 (OPA 26) and authorized staff to finalize the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines and bring them back to Council for endorsement, OPA 26 introduced new designations and policies, and changed existing policies to create a framework for the redevelopment and intensification of the City Centre. During the subsequent appeal period, the City received two appeals. OPA 26 was approved with modifications by the Ontario Municipal Board on March 4, 2015, and is now in full force and effect. Report PLN 01-17 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/16 � � January 9, 2017 Page 3 In July 2015, City staff began working on the City Centre Zoning By-law following the approval of OPA 26. City staff are proposing to amend Zoning By-laws 3036 and 2511 to remove all of the lands within the City Centre from these parent by-laws and create a new standalone zoning by-law. The City Centre Zoning By-law proposes new zoning categories, permits a broad range of uses, incorporates new development standards to regulate the size, location, massing and height of buildings, identifies minimum and maximum density provisions, and introduces new vehicle and bicycle parking standards. Comments received on the Proposed City Centre Zoning By-law Open House Meeting, Public Information Meeting and Written Submissions An Open House meeting was held on May 2, 2016 to allow residents and landowners within the City Centre to learn more about the proposed City Centre Zoning By-law. A total of 43 people attended this meeting. Questions for clarification were asked, but no formal comments or submissions were made at the open house. A Public Information Meeting was held on May 9, 2016, at which 4 verbal submissions were made. Staff have also received a number of written submissions regarding the proposed by-law. A summary of the comments received on the City Centre Zoning By-law and staff's response to each comment is contained in Appendix III to Report PLN 01-17. 2.2 Additional consultation with the public and landowners representatives City Development staff have held meetings with various landowners to discuss the zoning by-law and the contents of verbal and/or written comments received. Comments received covered a wide range of topics, mostly site-specific matters. City staff have met with the following landowners: • Unique at Holding and 1482 Bayly Street • BMC Bayly Park Inc., 1400, 1410 and 1420 1467555 Ontario Ltd., represented by Weston Consulting, represented by Norstar/Concordian Group of Companies, Bayly Street • Torgan Group, 1885 Glenanna Road • Squareco Properties Inc., 1550 and 1450 Kingston Road • Bayly Development Corporation, represented by Commercial Focus Advisory Services, 1502 Bayly Street • OPB Realty (20 VIC Management Inc.), represented by JKO Planning Services (Pickering Town Centre) 0 1331301 Ontario Inc.

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority January 9, 2017 Page 4 The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has indicated that the City Centre area includes the Krosno Creek and Pine Creek valley corridors and their associated floodplains. Both of these valley corridors are constrained by existing development and infrastructure. The TRCA has recommended that a comprehensive floodplain and natural heritage analysis be undertaken in order to establish a revised Natural Heritage System (NHS) Zone boundary for both Pine Creek and Krosno Creek. City Staff have held several meetings with TRCA and the affected landowners to address the TRCA's comments. The TRCA has agreed to the removal of the Natural Heritage System (NHS) Zone boundary associated with Pine Creek on the Land Use Categories schedule of the zoning by-law, subject to an "H" Holding Provision being added to the Choice Properties REIT ("Loblaws") and KS Brookdale Inc. properties, identified as H2 and H3 respectively, on Schedule 8 of the Zoning By-law. Prior to removing the "H" Holding provision, the landowners will be required to complete the following conditions to the satisfaction of the TRCA and the City: an Environmental Assessment or equivalent comprehensive evaluation of alternatives for flood remediation and a road crossing of the Pine Creek valley corridor an Environment Impact Study and a detailed engineering design and restoration plan for the rehabilitation of Pine Creek valley; and the execution of an Agreement to ensure that the Pine Creek valley corridor will be conveyed into public ownership The NHS Zone depicted along the boundaries of Krosno Creek reflects the existing floodplain limits. The Downtown Pickering Landowners Group, consisting of owners of the lands adjacent to the Krosno Creek (both on the east and west side, south of Highway 401 and north of Bayly Street), have requested that the NHS Zone boundary along Krosno Creek be revised to establish the limits of development. On December 12, 2016, the Downtown Pickering Landowners Group provided additional detailed information to the TRCA regarding the channel design and proposed development limits for Krosno Creek. This information is currently under review by staff at the TRCA. In order to allow the landowners and the TRCA the ability to review and resolve this matter, the final City Centre Zoning By-law will be brought forward to Council for enactment at such time as the NHS Zone boundary has been agreed to by the City, the TRCA and the landowners. 4. Peer Review of the City Centre Zoning By-law MI�IIM Group and SGL Planning & Design I+�c. were retained by the City to peer review the draft City Centre Zoning By-law, and provide advice and recommendations on select regulations proposed in the By-law. MMM Group provided recommendations on minimum vehicle parking rates, shared parking ratios and bicycle parking space requirements. SGL Planning & Design Inc. provided recommendations on Holding Provisions and Zone Regulations, specifically with respect to tower floor plate size, angular plane requirements, minimum and maximum floor space index, minimum and maximum podium and building heights, building setbacks and stepbacks, balcony projections, building length and required at grade frontages. Report PLN 01-17 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/16 January 9, 2017 Page 5 City Development staff have incorporated most of their recommendations into the draft City Centre Zoning By-law, with the exception of the minimum parking rate for apartment dwelling units. Based on MMM Group's review of best practices from other municipalities across the GTA, a parking rate of 1.0 space per dwelling unit and an additional 0.15 of a space per dwelling unit for visitors was recommended. The Downtown Pickering Landowners Group requested a lower parking rate of 0.8 of a space per dwelling unit and an additional 0.15 of a space per dwelling unit for visitors for apartment dwelling units. In support of their request, current parking utilization statistics for the San Francisco by the Bay development were submitted to staff for review. The owner has stated that the number of residents purchasing a parking space has decreased from 1.0 space per unit within Phase 1 to 0.84 of a parking space per unit in Phase 3. Based on this information, staff are supportive of a reduced parking rate for apartment dwelling units within the City Centre. 5. Changes have been made to the City Centre Zoning By-law to reflect staff responses to comments received � In response to comments received from the public, landowners, external agencies and internal City Departments, a number of changes have been made to the City Centre Zoning By-law. Most of the proposed changes were administrative and technical in nature and are keeping with the polices of Official Plan Amendment 26 (OPA 26). The following provisions have been added to the Zoning By-law: • transitional provisions to ensure that any building permits or complete Site Plan Approval applications that were received after January 1, 2016 would comply with zoning • minimum building setback from the Highway 401 corridor to ensure appropriate setbacks from the highway are maintained • minimum building setback from the Natural Heritage System zone boundary • provisions for regulating the location and treatment of inechanical equipment and penthouses • requirements related to the number, size, inoperative and oversize vehicles • minimum landscaped area requirements, minimum landscaped area and location of vehicles on a lot including including criteria for the calculation of s site specific exceptions for certain properties within the City Centre lands to recognize existing permissions and site conditions The following key changes have been made to the Zoning By-law: • patio provisions have been amended to permit patios in association with any permitted use and clarification regarding their permitted locations • waste management provisions have been amended to clarify where garbage and recycling areas can be located on a lot Report PLN 01-17 Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/16 January 9, 2017 • parking regulations which include, minimum parking requirements, shared parking formula and bicycling parking requirements have been revised to reflect the recommendations provided by MMM Group • provisions related to loading standards have been amended to clarify where loading spaces can be located on a lot and the requirement that every building or structure must provide a loading space has been deleted • minimum and maximum building height requirements have been revised to be consistent with OPA 26 and the conceptual building massing plans submitted by the Downtown Pickering Landowners Group and Torgan Group • minimum building setbacks have been revised to allow for greater flexibility for building setbacks where publically accessible open space is provided between a building and a street line • maximum tower floor plate size for a residential building has been increased from 750 square metres to 850 square metres • minimum building separation requirements have been further refined to provide some flexibility for buildings less than 25.5 metres in height • requirements for continuous length of buildings along a street line and buildings requiring Active at Grade Frontages have been reduced • an "H" Holding Provision has been added to the Pickering Town Centre Lands to ensure that a comprehensive functional servicing and stormwater management plan has been prepared to address existing stormwater and replacement flood storage on the Pickering Town Centre lands • conditions for the removal of an "H" Holding Provision have been scoped to provide additional clarity for landowners subject to the holding provisions 6. City Centre Urban Design Guidelines In June 2014, the City Development Department hosted an open house to receive comments from the public and landowners on the draft City Centre Urban Design Guidelines. The draft guidelines provide design direction for intensification, to guide building design and private development, as well as investments in public infrastructure in the City Centre. The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines have been reviewed to be consistent with the City Centre Zoning By-law and OPA 26. Staff recommend that the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines be approved. 7. Staff recommend that City Centre Zoning By-law be enacted The City Centre By-law has been the subject of detailed review and discussion in order to create a by-law which achieves Council's vision for the City Centre. The City Centre Zoning By-law allows a broad range of uses and flexible development standards to address the anticipated long-term build-out of the City Centre lands. The By-law uses detailed schedules which are intended to make the document easier to understand and interpret. The use of Holding provisions on certain lands within the City Centre will ensure the lands within the City Centre will evolve in an orderly manner and all key aspects of development within the City Centre are reviewed to Council's satisfaction before development can occur. �o Report �'LN 0�-17 Subject: Zoning By�lauv Amendment AppEication A Q6116 January 9, 2017 P�ge 7 Staff r�commend th�t Co�r�cil �:ndorse the City CentrE �oning By-law as set out 7r► Appe�dix I io this repart, and that the final Zoning By-law b� braught forward f�r C4uncil's enactment when the Krosno Cr�ek channe9 de�igr� an� propased de�elopment limits have b�en agreed to by the Tor�nto and R�gion Conservation Authcarity and the Downtown Pickerir�g Landowners �roup. �►ppendic�s Appendix I Recomm��ded City Centr� Zonin� By�-�aw, da#ed L7ecember �3, 20�G Appendix II R+�comm�nded City G�ntre Urban Design Gui�elir�es, dated D�c�rraber 201 G Appendix III Table 1— Re�ponse to Comments Received on Propos�ed City Centre Zoning By-law Attachment � .

This introduction explains how to read and use this Zoning By-law and is solely for the purposes of assisting the reader. Readers unfamiliar with zoning by-laws are encouraged to read this i�troduction.

The guidelines are intended to assist in the preparation of development proposals within the City Centre, and will be implemented through Pickering's review of applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision, Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Approval. Although the UDG expresses the City's design objectives, they do not preclude alternative options. As guidelines they offer flexibility in their application, provided that the overall intent of the UDG is being met. The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines document is multi-purpose and has been prepared for use by: • City Council: Council approved urban design guidelines help implement the City's Official Plan and articulate CounciPs design aspirations for redevelopment and intensification in the City Centre. • City Staff: will use the UDG in the design of City infrastructure projects and the review and approval of development applications in the City Centre. The City will also identify the key design priorities to development proponents during pre-consultation meetings. • Site Plan Advisory Committee: The UDG will be used by the Cammittee to review applications for Site Plan Approval within the City Centre. • Development Industry: The primary user af the UDG is the development industry, including developers and professional consultants. The guidelines are intended to provide understanding of the design objectives of the City and inform the design process. • The General Public: The UDG will be used to inform the general public on how the City, through the review af development applications, intends to achieve a high standard of urban design in the City Cenire while maintaining the character of the neighbourhood.

It also plays an integral part in developing a more compact built form character that celebrates creativity, innovation and new building technologies. Buildings should be designed to frame public streets and open spaces and to fit into the context of the area, in terms af height transition, massing, shape and architectural design. 2.4.1 Transition and Massing Maximum height criteria ensures that buildings appropriately transition from denser areas to existing low-density residential neighbourhoods. In addition to maximum building heights, massing provisions such as building step-backs, tower floor plates and tower separation ensure that the form of development has minimal shadowing and wind impact, and that pedestrian scaled development is created. The following guidelines provide direction on the form of new development so that buildings contribute positively to the surroundings. Guidelines a) New development adjacent to low density residential neighbourhoods, for example detached dwellings or semi-detached or street townhouses, will be limited by a 45 degree angular plane measured at a minimum 7.5 metres setback from the property line at a height of 10.5 metres.

This section provides directions and guidelines #o: balance conditions for all modes of transportation on existing streets; identify design directions for new streets as the City Centre redevelops over time; and create an integrated mobility network for pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders. Together these directions will assist the City in achieving a connected transportation system that is safe, comfortable, and intuitive, for all users. 3.1 Mobility Objectives — An Integrated Transportation System Pickering City Centre is the urban core and transit centre for Pickering and is identified as an Anchor Mobility Hub in Metrolinx's Regional Transportation Plan — the Big Move, and an Urban Growth Centre containing a Major Transit Station Area in the Province of Ontario's Growth Plan - Places to Grow. To this end, critical to the success of accommodating both residential growth and employment in the City Centre will be to plan for a transportation system that prioritizes active transportation and transit while accommodating other travel options. The Pickering City Centre transportation system includes an array of public and private infrastructure that will provide for a variety of modes. The transportation system will: • Provide a safe, convenient, and enjoyable environment for pedestrians and cyclists. • Support current and future transit services through building and site design, street typologies, and streetscape treatments. • Recognize the importance of Regional Roads as major carriers of local and regional vehicular traffic while ensuring their design responds to the City Centre context. • Provide additional travel options through the implementation of transportation demand management measures. • Incorporate design solutions for freight mobility that provide solutions for the delivery and movement of goods in the City Centre. • Offer a hierarchy of street types, with each type of street designed to serve its own mobility function and character.objectives. 3.2 Pedestrians The City Centre is planned to be a compact, vital place where pedestrians should be able to walk between destinations in a comfortable, safe, and visually interesting environment. This section contains guidelines to develop a coordinated and continuous pedestrian network within the City Centre, illustrated in Fi ure 4.

The planned street network builds on the existing street grid and plans for the introdu�tion of a finer grain of urban blocks that, over time, will improve connections and access to and within the City Centre. The urban street and block pattern will contribute to a more walkable environment and support compact, mixed-use forms of development. Fi. uq re 7 illustrates a street network that will support the movement of people and goods within and through the City Centre. 3.8.1 Streets The street network includes existing streets and new streets which are required for adjacent development to proceed ("new rights-of-way"). New private streets shall provide for public access. Guidelines a) The layout of arterials and collectors shall attempt to maximize connections by establishing a fine grain of streets and blocks capable of dispersing traffic and reducing traffic volumes on primary streets. b) A finer grain network of streets and blocks will support urban development and accommodate balanced movements through and to the City Centre. c) New cul-de-sacs shall not be permitted within the City Centre. d) Where possible, driveways to individual businesses along streets should be consolidated or access relocated to rear service lanes. 3.8.2 Elements of the Street Streets are comprised of four key elements: the Pedestrian Zone, Parking, Cycling Treatment, and Travel Lanes. The Pedestrian Zone consists of the area between the edge of the property and the curb, including: • Sidewalk: a clear, generously sized sidewalk ensures walking is pleasant, safe and enjoyable. • Landscaping: create a shaded, comfortable street. Tree and understory plantings must have adequate soil, sunlight and water conditions for long-term survival. The landscaping area also has street furniture such as benches and bike parking. � 4s 66 Draft December 2016 - Gity Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Mobility Parking: on-stree# parking may b� provid�d tc� s�rv�: active at-grade use� and ta buffer pedestrians frorr� traffic.

This means that in addition to serving different functions, streets also will have a different character. Each street type's function and character informs how many traffic lanes they carry, width of sidewalks and plantings, design character, and the scale of buildings adjacent to them. The planned street network comprises of five street categories: • Major Streets • Pedestrian Streets • Local Streets • Private Streets • Special Streets The following table describes the general parameters for the pedestrian zone, landscaping, parking and cycling elements on a street.

Each street type and corresponding cross-sections are described and illustrated in more detail in the following pages. As streets are realigned, extended, or undergo capital improvements, their design shall be guided by the mid-block cross-sections that follow. The mid-block cross-sections illustrated within these guidelines are conceptual and are to be detailed through future Environmental Assessment and other design studies, in accordance with recognized standards. If future cross-sections do not substantially comply with these figures, it must be demonstrated how the revised cross-sections can achieve the form, function and character described in this document. � 52 70 Draft December 2016 - City Centre Urban Design Guidelines: Mobility 3.9.�1 MaJor �treet� • Liv�rpool Ro�� • Kingston F�oacl • Bayiy Stre€fi • gay1y-Kingstcan Conr�ectar Major Streets are the prirnary streets to and throu�h th� City Centre and wibl facilita#e hi�h�r r�alum� of vehicular and transit mav�ment.

Staff Response The draft City Centre Urban Design Guidelines identifies the locations of the various public spaces to be provided within the City Centre, which includes neighbourhood parks, open spaces/natural heritage features and squares. The City will work with the various landowners to secure these spaces. In addition, provisions have been included in the by-law requiring new development to provide a minimum landscaped area of 10 percent. In addition, new residential development is required to provide minimum indoor and outdoor amenity areas. The City Centre is planned to be highly walkable, offering different opportunities to get to and around the City Centre for people living, working and visiting. The City Centre Urban Design Guidelines contains guidelines to develop a coordinated and continuous pedestrian network within the City Centre while also providing for other modes of travel.

That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 16/15, submitted by Woodview Land Development Corporation, to implement the Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2015-07, on lands being Part of Lot 10, Plan 329, be approved, and that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as set out in Appendix II to Report PLN 02-17 be forwarded to Council for enactment. Executive Summary: Woodview Land Development Corporation has submitted applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and a Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate a residential development on lands located on the west side of Woodview Avenue, south of Finch Avenue, in the Rouge Park Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The applicant originally proposed 22 lots for detached dwellings, a future development block for a detached dwelling and an Open Space Hazard Lands block for a portion of the Townline Provincially Significant Wetland and woodlot (see Original Submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #2). In response to identified concerns, the applicant has revised their proposal (see Revised Submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #3). The key revisions include an increase in the Open Space Hazard Lands block to accommodate a 30 metre wide buffer from the limit of the Townline Provincially Significant Wetland, and an extension of the Open Space Hazard Lands block to connect to Woodview Avenue. The increase in the Open Space Hazard Lands block resulted in a reduction in the total number of lots from 22 lots to 21 lots; and reduced lot depths. In keeping with City Engineering Services requirements, the revisions also included a reduction in the width of Street `A' from 18.0 metres to 17.0 metres. 226 Report PLN 02-17 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation January 9, 2017 Page 2 Staff support the revisions to the original proposal. The revised draft plan of subdivision demonstrates appropriate lot sizes and lot frontages, is in keeping with the character of the surrounding residential community, implements the policies of the Official Plan, and conforms to the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Accordingly, staff recommends that the site specific amending by-law as set out in Appendix II, be approved and forwarded to Council for enactment. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. 1. Background 1.1 Property Description The subject lands are located on the west side of Woodview Avenue, south of Finch Avenue, in the Rouge Park Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject lands comprise three properties having a combined area of approximately 2.0 hectares and a combined frontage of approximately 111 metres along Woodview Avenue. The lands are currently occupied by two existing detached dwellings, which will be demolished in order to facilitate the proposed development. Surrounding land uses to the north, south, and east, across Woodview Avenue, are detached dwellings on lots with varying frontages. A portion of the Townline Provincially Significant Wetland is located along the northerly and westerly portions of the subject lands. 1.2 Applicant's proposal The applicant originally proposed 22 lots for detached dwellings with a minimum lot frontage of 12.0 metres, a future development block for a detached dwelling and an open space hazard lands block for a portion of the Townline Significant Wetland and woodlot. An internal public road is proposed to extend from Woodview Avenue westward and then southward, terminating at a temporary turning circle at the south end of the subject lands. When lands to the south are developed, the road is intended to continue southerly and then eastward to Woodview Avenue. The temporary circle, when no longer required, will be developed as a r.esidential lot for a detached dwelling (see Original Submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #2). Based on comments received from City staff and agencies, the applicant has made a number of revisions to the proposal. A key revision included an increase in the size of the Open Space Hazard Lands block to accommodate a 30 metre wide buffer from the limit of the Townline Provincially Significant Wetland to the satisfaction of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). At the request of the TRCA, another key revision included the extension of the Open Space Hazard Lands block to connect to Woodview Avenue. These revisions resulted in the following changes to the draft plan: 227 Report PLN 02-17 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation January 9, 2017 Page 3 • revised the limits of development resulting in more regular rear lot lines of the lots adjacent to the Open Space Hazard Lands block • reduced the total number of lots from 22 lots to 21 lots to accommodate the extension of the Open Space Hazard Lands block to Woodview Avenue • reduced the right-of-way width of Street `A' from 18.0 metres to 17.0 metres • decreased lot depths to a range of 30 to 32 metres, and • increased the minimum rear yard depth for all lots from 6.0 metres to 7.0 metres The revised draft plan of subdivision proposes 15 lots having minimum lot frontages of 12.0 metres fronting onto a new internal public road, and 6 lots having frontages ranging between 12.0 metres and 16.9 metres fronting Woodview Avenue. The revised proposal maintains an internal public road pattern that is proposed to accommodate the future development of the adjacent lands to the south of the subject lands. A block of approximately 0.89 of a hectare is proposed to accommodate a portion of the Tovvnlin� Provincially �ignificant V`Jetland, a v�oo�lot an� associated buffers along the ncrth and west limits of the subject lands. These lands will be rezoned as Open Space — Hazard Lands and conveyed to the TRCA. 2. Comments Received 2.1 February 25, 2016 Open House, April 11, 2016 Public Information Meeting, and Written Submissions An Open House meeting was held on February 25, 2016 to allow area residents to learn more about the new residential proposal, as well as review and comment on the plans that the applicant submitted. Two households were represented at the meeting. A Public Information Meeting was held on April 11, 2016 at which 10 residents attended to provide their comments regarding the proposed development. The following is a summary of key concerns and comments: • commented that the proposal will negatively impact the Rouge Duffins Wildlife Corridor • requested assurances that the proposed home construction be of a high quality • commented that the proposed development does not comply with Provincial policies related to significant wetlands • expressed opposition to the proposed development as it would result in an increased water table and damage the hydrology and ecosystem in the area • the resident at 1950 Woodview Avenue expressed support for the proposed development provided that the applicant erected a temporary construction fence and installed a permanent fence upon completion of the project along the southerly property line of the subject lands 22s Report PLN 02-17 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation �-.. - . . •.- , . 2.2.1 City of Pickering Engineering Services Department January 9, 2017 Page 4 • no objection to the proposal subject to the conditions of draft approval provided • matters with respect to grading and drainage, tree preservation and protection, fencing details and requirements, and stormwater management details will be further reviewed at detailed design • the applicant is required to enter into a subdivision agreement with the City for all offsite works including the provision of and installation of services, easements, grading, drainage and other local services 2.2.2 Region of Durham • the Regional Official Plan (ROP) designates the subject lands as "Living Areas", which shall be used predominately for housing purposes • sanitary sewer and municipal water supply is available to service the proposed lots • a Preliminary Environmental Noise Analysis, prepared by Jade Acoustics Inc., indicates that sound levels are within Provincial guidelines and that no mitigation is required • the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Archaeological Assessment, prepared by Amick Consultants Limited, states that no further archaeological assessment of the pro.perty is required • staff have reviewed the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), prepared by Golder Associates, which concluded that the reported concentrations of the contaminants in all soil and groundwater samples taken from the Areas of Potential Environmental Concern identified in the Phase 1 ESA were below applicable site standards as of the 2015 certification date • a D4 Assessment Study, prepared by Golder Associates, concluded that potential impacts to the site due to landfill gas from the nearby former Beare Road Landfill and to the site's surface water and groundwater are not considered to be an issue • the Region has no objection to draft approval of the subdivision plan and has provided its conditions of draft approval 2.2.3 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority no objection to draft approval of the subdivision plan subject to the provided conditions of draft plan approval no objection to the approval of the zoning by-law amendment application subject to Block 23 being zoned within an Open Space Hazard Lands Zone and conveyed to the TRCA at or prior to registration as a condition of draft plan approval require a restrictive covenant over the rear yards of Lots 1 to 11, and Lots 20 and 21 adjacent the Open Space Hazard Lands prohibiting both the removal of the required permanent fences along the lot line and the installation of gates or other means of access through the fences concurrent with or prior to registration of the draft plan of subdivision 229 Report PLN 02-17 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation 2.2.4 Durham Catholic District School Board January 9, 2017 Page 5 no objections to the proposal the proposed development is within the boundary area of St. Monica Catholic Elementary School located at 275 Twyn Rivers Drive and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School located at 1918 Whites Road 2.2.5 Durham District School Board no objections to the proposal the proposed development is within the boundary area of Elizabeth B. Phin Public School located at 1500 Rougemount Drive and Dunbarton High School located at 655 Sheppard Avenue 3. Planning Analysis 3.1 The proposal conforms to the density provisions of the Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood. Lands within this designation are intended primarily for housing at a net residential density of up to and including 30 units per net hectare. The proposed development will result in a density of approximately 24 units per net hectare, which is within the density range for the lands designated Low Density in the City's Official Plan. 3.2 Recommended performance standards will ensure the proposal is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood The Official Plan states that in establishing site specific performance standards, regard shall be had to protecting and enhancing the character of established neighbourhoods by considering matters such as building height, yard setbacks, lot frontage, and lot area. These considerations ensure that the proposals are compatible with the existing patterns of development and facilitate dwelling designs that would maintain the character of the neighbourhood. Existing detached lots within the vicinity of the subject lands along Woodview Avenue, Finch Avenue and Nature Haven Crescent have a variety of lot frontages ranging from 12.0 metres to 18.0 metres. The lot frontages proposed for the subject lands range between 12.0 metres and 16.9 metres, and are generally consistent and compatible with the existing surrounding lots. The applicant proposes a maximum building height of 11.0 metres. Existing zoning for the surrounding properties provides for a maximum building height that ranges between 9.0 metres and 11.0 metres. City Development staff are satisfied that restricting the maximum building height to 11.0 metres will result in building heights compatible with the existing building heights within the immediate area. 230 Report PLN 02-17 January 9, 2017 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation Page 6 The applicant will also be maintaining similar side and rear yard setbacks as properties in the immediate neighborhood. Staff are of the opinion that the proposed rear yard setback of a minimum of 7.0 metres will provide for functional rear yards for the future residents, will accommodate the required catch basins and infiltration swales, and will ensure appropriate building separation between dwellings. The proposed lotting pattern and development standards will ensure an appropriate built form that is compatible with existing developments in the neighborhood. 3.3 The portion of the Townline Provincially Significant Wetlands within the proposal will be conveyed to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Guidelines state that where appropriate, the conveyance of significant environmental features and their buffers to the City or other public agencies may be required as a condition of development approval. The original draft plan of subdivision proposed an Open Space Hazard Lands block of approximately 0.64 of a hectare consisting of a portion of the Townline Provincially Significant Wetlands, a woodlot, and a wetland buffer width of 15.0 metres. After discussions between the applicant and TRCA, the applicant revised the draft plan of subdivision proposing an Open Space Hazard Lands block of approximately 0.89 of a hectare, and in most places a wetland buffer width of 30 metres. The extent of the 30 metres wetland buffer was regularized to achieve appropriate residential lot configuration. TRCA supports the revised draft plan and Open Space Hazard Lands block. The buffer will be fully planted, conveyed to the TRCA, and contain Low Impact Development measures such as bioswales and infiltration trenches. 3.4 Urban Design objectives of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines have been addressed The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines establish goals to ensure lands are developed in a cohesive, well designed neighbourhood. These goals include that residential areas feature a variety of housing types of high quality design arranged on efficient street patterns, which contribute to a lotting pattern and streetscape that are aesthetically pleasing, diverse, encourage social interaction within a neighbourhood, and support safe environments. The six detached lots proposed to front Woodview Avenue establish a strong visual and physical relationship to the street. The conceptual building elevations demonstrate good urban design and present an attractive frontage along Woodview Avenue (see Submitted Conceptual Elevation — Woodview Avenue, Attachment #4). 231 Report PLN 02-17 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation January 9, 2017 3.5 Matters identified by area residents have been addressed by the applicant Page 7 The resident immediately to the south at 1950 Woodview Avenue requested that temporary fencing during construction as well as permanent fencing be installed along the southerly limits of the development. As a condition of draft plan approval, the applicant will be required to submit a construction management plan, which will address matters such as, but not limited to, details of erosion and sedimentation control during construction, parking of construction vehicles, storage of construction and building materials, location of construction trailer, type and timing of construction fencing, and mud and dust control on all roads within and adjacent to the site. Also as a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to install a 1.8 metre high permanent privacy fence along the developable part of the lot line shared with the existing residential use to the south. Another area resident expressed opposition to the proposal as it would result in an increase in the level of the water table in the area, and damage the hydrology and ecosystem of the area. The Preliminary Hydrogeological Investigation Study, prepared by Golder Associates, concluded that the proposed development will have no impacts on the adjacent Townline Provincially Significant Wetlands, or on the level of the water table in the area. The Environmental Impact Study prepared by Beacon Environmental dated Septembe.r 2016 states that the combination of the proposed 30 metre buffer from the wetland and 10 metre buffer from the woodlot dripline will protect the wetland and its function, and the wildlife and plants present in the valley. Both buffers are acceptable to the TRCA. 3.6 The proposed lotting pattern, house siting and grading will result in the removal of existing trees The applicant has submitted a Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan, which surveyed and evaluated existing trees on the subject lands. The applicant proposes to remove a number of trees due to the proposed lotting pattern, house siting and grading required to develop the lands for residential purposes. As a condition of draft plan approval the applicant will be required to compensate the City for the loss of tree canopy through either payment of cash-in-lieu and/or replanting. 3.7 Technical matters will be addressed as conditions of subdivision approval To ensure appropriate development, the City, Region and agency requirements have been provided as conditions of approval for the subdivision application. Technical matters to be further addressed include, but not limited to: • construction management/erosion and sediment control • stormwater management • on-site grading • site servicing • fencing • street tree planting and tree compensation • payment of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication • Rouge Park Neighbourhood Study cost sharing • conveyance of Open Space Hazard �ands to the TRCA 232 Report PLN 02-17 January 9, 2017 Subject: Woodview Land Development Corporation Page 8 The conditions of approval set out in Appendix I to this Report, address these (and other) matters. It is recommended that Council endorse these conditions. 3.8 Staff recommend that a zoning by-law amendment be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject lands from an "A" — Agricultural zone to an appropriate residential zone category to facilitate the proposal. Staff supports the rezoning application and recommends that the site specific implementing by-law, as set out in Appendix II, be forwarded to Council for enactment. 3.9 Applicant's Comments The applicant supports the recomrnendations of this report.
