Part of Lots 23, 24, 25 and 26, Plan 350 1 Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information regarding an application for Draft Plan of Subdivision, submitted by Marshall Homes (Copperfield) Ltd., to permit a residential development. This report contains general information on the applicable Official Plan and other related policies, and identifies matters raised to date. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. The Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification, and identify any planning issues. This report is for information purposes and no decision on this application is being made at this time. Staff will bring forward a recommendation report for consideration by the Planning & Development Committee upon completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal. 2. Property Location and Description The subject lands are located on the west side of Frontier Court, east of Rougemount Drive, north of Toynevale Road and south of Highway 401 within the Rosebank Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject lands have an area of approximately 0.66 of a hectare and were created through a land assembly facilitated by various land division applications. The land division applications severed the rear yards of three properties (653, 655 and 661 Rougemount Drive) to the west fronting Rougemount Drive. Additional lands on the south side of Highway 401 were acquired from the Ministry of Transportation (MT0). There are currently no structures on the subject lands. However, there are a number of mature trees located on the site. Surrounding land uses to the east, west and south include low density residential development consisting of one and two-storey detached dwellings. Immediately to the north is Highway 401 (see Aerial Photo, Attachment #2). Applicant's Proposal The applicant is proposing a residential development consisting of seven lots for detached dwellings fronting onto the extension of Frontier Court (see Submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision, Attachment #3). The proposed lot frontages will be approximately 15.2 metres and lot areas will range between 518 square metres and 976 square metres. Frontier Court is proposed to be extended approximately 30.0 metres to the west terminating in a cul-de-sac. 1 2 Information Report No. 06-17 Page 2 A remnant parcel of land, west of Lot 5, will be created through the proposed development. The applicant has indicated that the remnant parcel is intended to be conveyed to the abutting landowner to the south at 681 Rougemount Drive. The applicant is proposing to maintain the existing zoning standards, which are the same as the abutting properties to the west and south and similar to the existing zoning standards of the adjacent properties to the east fronting onto Frontier Court. 4. Policy Framework 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Regional Official Plan (ROP) designates the subject lands as "Living Areas". Lands designated "Living Areas" shall be used predominantly for residential purposes. The applicant's proposal conforms to the policies and provisions of the ROP. 4.2 Pickering Official Plan The subjects lands are within the Rosebank Neighborhood and are designated "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" within the Pickering Official Plan, which provides for housing and related uses. This designation permits a density of up to and including 30 units per net hectare. However, the Rosebank Neighbourhood policies restrict lands west of Rosebank Road to the development and infilling of single detached dwellings; and establishes a maximum residential density of 17 units per net hectare. The proposal has a density of approximately 12.5 units per net hectare. The Official Plan states that in establishing 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 coverage, access to sunlight, parking provisions and traffic implications. The Official Plan also states that where new development is proposed within an existing neighbourhood or established area, City Council shall encourage building design that reinforces and complements existing built patterns such as form, massing, height proportion, position relative to the street, and building area to site ratio. Details of the application will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the Official Plan during the further processing of the application. 4.3 Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines The Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines identify three distinct Design Precincts: each having their own separate guideline requirements. Majority of the subject lands are situated within Design Precinct No. 2, except for the northerly portidns of proposed Lots 5, 6 and 7, which are situated within Design Precinct No. 1. The guidelines outline that residential development within both precincts shall be limited to detached dwellings only, and that all new lots shall have minimum lot frontages of approximately 15.0 metres and minimum lot depths ranging between 30.0 metres and 36.0 metres. The applicant is proposing to maintain the existing performance standards, which require a minimum lot Frontage of 15.0 metres. The proposed lots will have lot depths ranging between 30:0 metres and 48.0 metres. Information Report No. 06-17 Page 3 The applicant's proposal complies with the requirements of the Rosebank Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. 4.4 Zoning By-law 2511 The subject lands are currently zoned "R4" — Residential Fourth Density Zone, within Zoning By-law 2511, as amended, which permits one single detached dwelling per lot with a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres and a minimum lot area of 460 square metres. As noted earlier, the applicant is proposing to develop the lots in accordance with the current zoning standards (see Existing "R4" Zoning provisions, Attachment tt/1). At the September 11, 2017 Council meeting, Council approved the recommendations of Report PLN 15-17 (Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods). One of the approved recommendations authorized staff to initiate a zoning by-law amendment to general provisions of By-law 2511 to add a maximum building height where the site specific zoning amendments do not regulate maximum building height. Currently, the existing "R4" zoning on the subject lands does not have a maximum building height provision. 5.

Property Location and Description The subject properties are located on the east side of Brock Road, north of Usman Road (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject lands, comprised of two properties, have a combined area of approximately 0.72 hectares with approximately 75.0 metres of frontage along Brock Road. A two-storey building containing a place of religious assembly and having vehicular access onto Brock Road occupies the southerly property. Located on the northerly property is a basketball court. The northerly property also accommodates overflow parking. The surrounding land uses include Jade Street and townhouse dwellings under construction to the north, Usman Road and a future village green to the east, and existing detached dwellings to the west across Brock Road. To the south, across Usman Road, are vacant lands that are the subject of applications recently received by the City for Draft Plan of Subdivision, a Draft Plan of Condominium and a Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate a residential condominium development consisting of 59 three-storey townhouse units (see Aerial Photo, Attachment #2). 11 information Report No. 07-17 Page 2 3. Applicant's Proposal The Pickering Islamic Centre is requesting a site specific zoning by-law amendment to permit a private school and a daycare. In addition, the applicant is seeking to recognize the existing place of religious assembly on the southerly property and permit a place of religious assembly on the northerly property. The purpose of the requested uses is to facilitate the construction of a three-storey, 4,691 square metre addition to the north side of the existing place of worship. The applicant is also proposing to construct a two-level parking structure at the rear of the site (see Submitted Plan, Attachment #3). The school is designed to accommodate 200 students in 20 classrooms along with 15 staff members. Additional space is provided for a gymnasium, a library, a kitchen, a staff room, and administrative offices. Excluding the dome and two minarets, the existing building has an overall height of approximately 10.0 metres from the established grade to the parapet wall. The proposed addition will have an overall height of approximately 13.0 metres from the established grade to the parapet wall. The proposed two-level parking garage has a height of approximately 4.0 metres from the established grade to top of the second level screening (see Submitted North and West Elevations, Submitted East and South Elevations, and Submitted Parking Deck Elevations, Attachments #4, #5 and #6). A total of 160 parking spaces are proposed in support of the development. At grade 115 parking spaces will be provided and 45 parking spaces will be provided on the second level of the parking deck. The existing driveway access from Brock Road is proposed to be relocated to Usman Road. A right -out only driveway is proposed to exit onto Brock Road at the north-west corner of the site. A road widening ranging between 5.0 and 7.5 metres is required across the entire Brock Road frontage, which will be conveyed to the Region of Durham. Adjacent to the east boundary of the subject properties is Block 76 of Plan 40M-2571 (approximately 0.03 of a hectare) that is to be conveyed by Kindwin (Brock) Development Corporation to the Pickering Islamic Centre and zoned in conjunction with the subject properties to facilitate the proposal. 4. Policy Framework 4.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The subject lands are designated as "Living Areas" with a "Regional Corridor" overlay in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands within this designation are predominately intended for housing purposes. In addition, limited office development and limited retailing of goods and services, in appropriate locations, as components of mixed use developments, are permitted. In the consideration of development proposals, regard shall be had to achieving a compact urban form, including intensive residential, office, retail and service, and mixed uses along arterial roads, in conjunction with present and potential transit facilities. Regional Corridors shall be planned and developed in accordance with the underlying land use designation, as higher density mixed use areas, supporting higher order transit services and pedestrian oriented design. Regional Corridors are intended to support an overall, Tong -term density target of at least 75 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index (FSi) of 2.5, with a wide variety of building forms, generally mid -rise in height, with some higher buildings, as detailed in municipal official plans. 12 Information Report No. 07-17 Page 3 Brock Road is designated as a Type A Arterial Road and a Transit Spine in the Durham Regional Official Plan. Type A Arterial Roads are designed to carry large volumes of traffic at moderate to high speeds, have some access restrictions and generally have a right-of-way width ranging from 36 metres to 50 metres. Transit Spines are recognized corridors where higher levels of transit service is to be encouraged. The application will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the Regional Official Plan during the further processing of the application. 4.2 Pickering Official Plan The subject lands are designated "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas" within the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood. This designation is intended primarily for residential uses, and community, cultural and recreational uses services such as schools, parks, and places of worship. The applicant's proposal conforms to the policy requirements of the Official Plan. 4.3 Duffins Precinct Development Guidelines The Duffins Precinct development area is located north of Finch Avenue and east of Brock Road. The Guidelines for this Precinct provide direction for detailed land use, transportation network, community design objectives and servicing arrangements for the Precinct. The subject properties fall within two development areas. The development area for the west part of the site along the Brock Road frontage, requires application of innovative architectural designs and effective urban design to humanize the street, mitigate the effects of traffic, and present an attractive frontage along Brock Road. Three to five storey buildings are recommended. Two to four storey buildings are recommended for the remainder of the subject lands. 4.4 Duffins Precinct Southern Lands Environmental Servicing Plan Update In 2013, Pickering City Council endorsed an updated Environmental Servicing Plan (ESP Update) for the Duffins Precinct Southern Lands. The ESP Update defines current development practices, development boundaries, buffers and protection requirements for natural features, outlines servicing requirements and phasing, and confirms the location of municipal infrastructure including stormwater management facilities and roads. The endorsed ESP Update serves as the basis for the technical review of development applications in the southern portion of Duffins Precinct. The sharing of the cost of the preparation of the ESP Update, construction of stormwater facilities, and provision of municipal infrastructure is addressed in a draft cost sharing agreement among the landowners within the southern lands. 4.5 Zoning By-law 3036 The subject properties are currently zoned "A" — Rural Agricultural within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6578/05. The "A' Zone permits a variety of agriculture related uses. Zoning By-law 6578/05 amended the Institutional provisions of the "A' —Rural Agricultural Zone category to permit institutional uses on certain lands including the southerly property municipally known as 2065 Brock Road. The current zoning does not permit institutional uses on the northerly property municipally known as 2071 Brock Road. 13 Information Report No. 07-17 Page 4 The applicant has requested that the subject properties be rezoned to an appropriate institutional zone category in order to permit a private school and daycare, and to permit a place of religious assembly on the northerly property and recognize the existing place of religious assembly on the southerly property. As noted earlier, Block 76 of Plan 40M-2571, which is to be conveyed by Kindwin (Brock) - Development Corporation to the Pickering Islamic Centre, is presently zoned "UR" Urban Reserve within Zoning By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 7384/14, and only permits outdoor recreational uses without buildings or structures. The block is also required to be rezoned into an institutional zone category in order to facilitate the proposed expansion. 5.

Executive Summary: The City's Growth Strategy Program is one of the key components of the Pickering Official Plan comprehensive review process. It consists of two components: the City Centre Intensification Study, which concluded with new Official Plan policies, urban design guidelines and zoning; and the South Pickering Intensification Study; focusing on intensification outside the City Centre. Report PLN 16-17 October 2, 2017 Subject: Consultant Selection for the Kingston Road and Page 2 Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study Phase 1 of the of the South Pickering Intensification Study began in January 2015 with a community engagement exercise regarding where and to what extent growth should occur in South Pickering. In March 2016, Report PLN 04-16 was presented to Council which outlined the results of Phase 1 of the study and offered direction for moving forward with Phase 2 of the study, focusing on the Kingston Road Corridor. Accordingly, Council authorized staff to prepare and release a Request for Proposal (RFP) to retain consulting services to develop a new vision and strategy for intensification for the Kingston Road Corridor. On July 5, 2017, a RFP was issued, calling for proposals by consultants to undertake the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study. The RFP closed on August 1, 2017. The City received three proposals from the following multi -disciplinary consulting teams: SGL Planning & Design Inc. et al; Urban Strategies Inc. et al; and SvN Architects + Planners Inc. et al. The Evaluation Committee reviewed the proposals against the criteria outlined in the RFP, and found that the submission by SvN Architects + Planners Inc. et al best met the City's requirements in completing project deliverables, considering their team's strengths relative to the scope of work required, and value for the money.

The first component of the program focused on the City Centre, identified as an Urban Growth Centre in the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. On March 4, 2015, the Ontario Municipal Board approved Amendment 26 to the Pickering Official Plan, a planning framework for the redevelopment and intensification of the City Centre. Council adopted urban design guidelines and a new zoning by-law for the City Centre in April 2017. The new zoning by-law has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. The second component of the program focuses on examining intensification opportunities on the remaining lands in South Pickering. In 2015, the first phase of the South Pickering Intensification Study started with a community engagement exercise regarding where and to what extent growth should occur in South Pickering. The key themes that emerged throughout the community engagement exercise included focusing intensification and higher density development in the City Centre and along corridors such as Kingston Road, maintaining stable neighbourhoods, and creating vibrant, mixed-use, well designed, transit supportive communities. 25 Report PLN 16-17 October 2, 2017 Subject: Consultant Selection for the Kingston Road and Page 4 Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study Following the consideration of Report PLN 04-16 on March 7, 2016, which outlined the results of the community engagement exercise and the work program for the South Pickering Intensification Study, Council authorized staff to prepare and release a RFP to retain external urban design consultants to assist staff with Phase 2 of the South Pickering Intensification Study: developing a new vision and strategy for the intensification of the Kingston Road Corridor. 1.2 Revisions were made to the scope of Phase 2 of the South Pickering Intensification Study Through the preparation of the RFP for the development of a new vision and strategy for the intensification of the Kingston Road Corridor, which included a detailed review of current Official Plan policies, urban design guidelines and zoning regulations, staff concluded that the study requires a broader multi -disciplinary approach, extending beyond the initial scope of an urban design study. A more holistic planning exercise seemed appropriate, similar to what was done for the City Centre, to also address matters such as: intensification scenarios; a land use framework; mobility and parking provisions; infrastructure; built form and streetscape principles; and draft urban design guidelines. Accordingly, staff expanded the initial scope of work from an urban design study to a more in-depth planning and urban design intensification study. Furthermore, during the preparation of the RFP, SMARTREIT, the land development consultants for the owners of the Smart Centre development located within the designated "Specialty Retailing Node" east of Brock Road and north of Highway 401, contacted staff, requesting that the Smart Centre lands be added to the Kingston Road Corridor Intensification Study. SMARTREIT's request stems from the realization that the big box district has entered its next phase of evolution; that its lands have a prime location adjacent to Highway 401 and two major public transit routes (Kingston and Brock Roads); and that its lands have a mixed-use designation in the Pickering Official Plan (which encourages intensification of the Node over time). Subsequently, staff expanded the scope of the Kingston Road Corridor Intensification Study to also include the lands currently designated "Specialty Retailing Node" (see the Kingston Corridor & Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study Areas Map, Attachment #1). 1.3 The new Provincial Growth Plan that took effect on July 1, 2017 does not alter the need for, or timing of, Phase 2 of the South Pickering Intensification Study Although there have been changes to terminology and intensification targets from the previous Growth Plan to the new Growth Plan, the core objectives remain the same, with more emphasis being put on housing affordability and climate change in the revised Plan. The work to be conducted through this study will assist the City in meeting the policy objectives of both the Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP) and the new Growth Plan. 26- Report PLN 16-17 October 2, 2017 Subject: Consultant Selection for the Kingston Road and Page 5 Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study Until such time as the ROP has been updated to conform to the new Growth Plan, the Pickering Official Plan must conform to the current ROP. Nothing however, prevents the City from adopting density targets through this study that are higher than those set in the current ROP, as long as they conform to the principles and objectives of the new Growth Plan. 1.4 A Request for Proposal for Consulting Services for the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study was issued On July 5, 2017, the City issued a RFP for consulting services for the next phase of the City's Growth Strategy Program (Phase 2 of the South Pickering Intensification Study) at an upset limit of $225,000.00 excluding HST. The scope of work is provided in Attachment #2. The RFP was an open proposal call. A notice of the RFP was placed on the City's website. In addition, eight qualified consulting firms were also notified of the RFP based on their experience with similar projects in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The RFP closed on August 1, 2017. Three proposals were received from the following multi -disciplinary consulting teams: • SvN Architects + Planners Inc. • SGL Planning & Design Inc. • Urban Strategies Inc. 1.5 SvN Architects + Planners Inc., in associated with AECOM and 360 Collective is recommended for selection During August 2017, the Evaluation Committee consisting of the Chief Planner, the Manager, Policy & Geomatics, the Principal Planner, Policy, and the Buyer, Supply and Services reviewed the proposals against the criteria, as outlined in the RFP. The consultant that received the highest score through the review process was SvN Architects + Planners Inc. (SvN), in association with AECOM (engineering design firm), and 360 Collective (retail and commercial strategy consultancy). SvN, previously known as Planning Alliance, has a proven track record in projects similar in scope to the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study. SvN has put together a well-balanced and experienced team that includes strong skills in urban and streetscape design, land use and transportation planning, retail/commercial market trends, public consultation and graphic and written presentations. SvN, as part of their proposal, also outlined several optional services that could be offered in addition to the submitted pricing. These optional services are value added products and would, if selected, be included in their scope of work. Subsequently the Evaluation Committee reviewed the optional service items and selected Land Use Modelling (computerized 3D demonstration models to facilitate understanding of land use and built form scenarios) at a cost of 517.743.03, excluding HST. 27 Report PLN 16-17 October 2, 2017 Subject: Consultant Selection for the Kingston Road and Page 6 Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study Further to the RFP bid price and the Land Use Modeling service, staff is recommending up to $15,000.00 be set aside as a contingency in the event additional meetings are required during the study process. The Health & Safety Regulations form and the Accessibility Regulations for Contracted Services form signed and completed respectively by SvN have been reviewed by the (Acting) Coordinator, Health & Safety, and deemed acceptable. The Certificate of Insurance has been reviewed by the Manager, Budgets & Internal Audit, and is deemed acceptable. The list of sub -consultants as submitted by SvN for this project has been reviewed and deemed acceptable by the Director, City Development. The Director, Finance & Treasurer has confirmed funding is available for this Study, and the Senior Financial Analyst — Capital & Debt Management has reviewed the wording of the Recommendations and the Financial Implications section of this Report. 2.0 Recommendations It is recommended that the team lead by SvN Architects + Planners Inc., in association with AECOM, and 360 Collective, be retained to undertake the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Study. It is further recommended that staff be authorized to enter into any agreements as required to give effect hereto. Attachments 1.
