This report contains background information on the proposed amendment. This report is intended to assist members of the public and other interested stakeholders to understand the proposal. Planning & Development Committee will hear public delegations on the application, ask questions of clarification, and identify any planning issues. This report is for information 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 review of the comments received and revisions to the amendment if necessary. 2.Background Information 2.1 Property Description The lands within Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision SP-2009-12 are located on the west and east sides of Mulberry Lane and south of Alexander Knox Road, within the Seaton Community. The development blocks (Block 476 and Lots 297 to 300 on Figure 1 below) subject to this zoning by-law amendment application are located on the east side of the draft approved plan, abutting the Natural Heritage System to the east (see Location Map and Air Photo Map, Attachments #1 and #2). These lands were draft plan approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in early 2014 (see Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision SP-2009-12, Attachment #3). The subdivision agreement for the lands were registered on July 28, 2022. There is a clause within the agreement that states that the development blocks subject to this rezoning application cannot be developed until this rezoning application becomes final and binding. In addition, the agreement acknowledges that the City authorized the owner to develop the village green on behalf of the City, subject to conditions. - 1 - Information Report 10-22 Page 2 2.2 Relocation of the Village Green within the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision The OMB-approved draft plan shows a village green located at the northeast corner of Honey Locust Place and Sandal Wood Trail. To the east of the village green are residential lots that abut the Natural Heritage System (NHS) to the east (see Figure 1 below, Original Park Layout). During the processing of the plan following draft plan approval, City staff requested that the village green be relocated further east, in order to provide a direct connection to the NHS and future trail system (see Figure 1 below, Revised Park Layout). Figure 1: Original Park Layout and Revised Park Layout - 2 - Information Report 10-22 Page 3 The new location of the village green maintains frontage onto both Honey Locust Place and Sandal Wood Trail. The park has been designed to provide a pedestrian connection between Honey Locust Place and Sandal Wood Trail, as well as future connections to the Primary Neighbourhood Connecting Trail and Secondary Recreation Trail (see Figure 2 below). As a result of the relocation, the size of the village green has increased from 0.17 of a hectare to 0.231 of a hectare, without having to sacrfice a residential lot. The playground area is also further removed and protected from the adjacent roads. Figure 2: Village Green Landscape Plan The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment is to amend the Neighbourhood 19: Wilson Meadows Neighbourhood Zoning Schedule to switch the location of the low density residential (LD1) zone and the open space (OS) zone boundaries to be consisent with the final draft plan. 3.Policy Framework 3.1 Pickering Official Plan The portion of lands subject to this zoning by-law amendment application are designated “Urban Residential Areas – Low Density Areas”. Residential and recreational uses are permitted within this designation. - 3 - Information Report 10-22 Page 4 The Plan states that village greens must have road frontage on three sides, but may be less where other design alternatives are used to achieve public view and access. The park has road frontage onto Honey Locust Place to the north and Sandal Wood Trail to the south. The east side of the park fronts onto a publicly-owned piece of property. This design alternative is desirable as it provides a direct connection to the Natural Heritage System and future trail system. The proposal conforms to the policies within the Pickering Official Plan. 3.2 Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines In addition to the policies with the Official Plan, the Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines state that village greens must provide: •formalized paths to connect to pedestrian sidewalks and trails within the Natural Heritage System, and are consistent with pedestrian desire lines; •soft landscaping to serve non-programmed recreational uses; and •facilities such as play structures, splash pads, open informal play areas, seating with shade opportunities as well as community mail boxes and information boards. The proposal achieves the design objectives of the Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines. 3.3 Zoning By-law 7364/14, as amended The portion of lands subject to this zoning by-law amendment application are zoned “Low Density Type 1 (LD1) Zone” and “Open Space (OS) Zone” within Zoning By-law 7364/14, as amended by By-law 7857/21 (see Figure 3 below, Existing Zoning). Permissible uses within the LD1 Zone include a detached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling, and accessory dwelling unit. Permissible uses within the OS Zone include community gardens, play fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and public trails and trailheads. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Neighbourhood 19: Wilson Meadows Neighbourhood Zoning Schedule to switch the location of the low density residential (LD1) zone and the open space (OS) zone boundaries, to reflect the relocation of the village green and residential lots (see Figure 3 below, Proposed Zoning). - 4 - Information Report 10-22 Page 5 Figure 3: Existing and Proposed Zoning 4.Comments Received 4.1 Public Comments Notice of the Statutory Public Meeting regarding this application was provided through a mailing to all properties within 500 metres of the entire land area of Draft Approved Planof Subdivision SP-2009-12 (in total, notice was mailed to 148 properties).

The house is a one-and-a-half-storey brick Ontario cottage with neo-classical and georgian influences, and was constructed in 1853 (see Figure 2 below). Figure 2: 845 Highway 7 (WSP, 2022) The applicant proposes to retain Percy House, and relocate the building to the southeast corner of Highway 7 and the new municipal road, and position it within a landscaped area. The building will be used for a learning centre/office use (See Submitted Conceptual Site Plan and Submitted Conceptual Landscape Plan, Attachments #5 and #6). The applicant is proposing to demolish the rear addition to the farmhouse, and construct a 185 square metre modern addition. The barns and silos, and landscaped features on the property are to be demolished with select building elements salvaged for use on or off-site. 4. Policy Framework 4.1 Central Pickering Development Plan The Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) sets out the principles and goals that outline the general development vision for the overall Seaton Urban Area. These include the integration of new sustainable urban community while ensuring the protection, maintenance and enhancement of the natural heritage system. The objectives and policies of the CPDP are designed to achieve the vision of Seaton. The subject applications conform to the CPDP. 4.2 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan (DROP) designates the Seaton lands as “Specific Policy Area A”, which requires the lands to be developed in accordance with the CPDP. Other provisions of the DROP shall apply, as applicable. The DROP requires the development of Seaton to be based on a number of considerations including the provision - 15 - Information Report No. 11-22 Page 6 of a range of employment that accommodates the forecasts from the CPDP; and the provision of employment opportunities along Highway 407, concurrent with residential development occurring in the neighbourhoods to the south. Within employment areas, sites having a high degree of exposure and good access shall be reserved for employment intensive uses. It is the intent of the Plan to encourage prestige employment uses with high employment generating capacity and greater architectural, landscaping and design controls along Highways 401 and 407, and Regional corridors (like Highway 7). Area municipal plans shall designate areas for prestige development, and specify design and landscaping controls for such areas. 4.3 Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject lands as “Employment Areas – Prestige Employment”. Schedule XIII – Neighbourhood 21: Pickering Innovation Corridor, further refines the land use designations. The westerly portion of the lands are designated as “Prestige Employment – General” and the easterly potion is designated as “Prestige Employment – Node” (see Neighbourhood 21: Pickering Innovation Corridor, Attachment #2). The “Prestige Employment” designation permits a range of uses including light manufacturing, assembly and processing of goods, office, personal service, and community and cultural services. The Seaton Urban Area policies refine the permissible uses to exclude: outdoor storage; retail stores; waste processing; waste transfer and recycling facilities; freight transfer and similar trucking facilities; automotive and vehicle sales and replace; and place of worship and schools. The Neighbourhood Plan identifies a Stormwater Management Facility on the subject lands. However, the neighbourhood policies permit the number, size and location of stormwater management facilities to be confirmed through functional servicing and stormwater reports, and may be changed without amendment to the Neighbourhood Plan. Chapter 8 of the Official Plan identifies a cultural heritage goal for the City which is that City Council shall respect its cultural heritage, and conserve and integrate important cultural heritage resources, from all time periods, into the community. City Council, in consultation with its heritage committee, where warranted, shall implement the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act, including the designation of heritage sites. In consideration of the use and reuse of heritage resources, City Council shall maintain, if possible, the original use of heritage structures and sites, and if possible, retain the original location and orientation of such structures. Furthermore, Section 12.23 (e) of Neighbourhood 21: Pickering Innovation Corridor, requires Heritage Lots to be integrated into the design of the surrounding employment area through appropriate landscaping and built form transition. The two watercourses, bordering the south-eastern and western limits of the site, are designated as Seaton Nature Heritage Systems. The intent of this designation is to protect, maintain, and where possible enhance, all environmentally significant features and functions within the Seaton Natural Heritage System. Furthermore, lands within the Seaton Natural Heritage System shall remain in public ownership. An Environmental Impact Study is required for any proposed development within 120 metres of a key natural heritage or key hydrologic feature. The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate the natural - 16 - Information Report No. 11-22 Page 7 heritage features and hydrologic features, determine the minimum required vegetation protection zones, and determine the site’s development limits to prevent potential negative impacts from the proposed development on the natural heritage features. The applicant’s proposal will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the Official Plan during the future processing of the applications. 4.3.1 Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines The Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines address the urban design guidelines contained within the CPDP. Further, they expand upon the key design elements, set out minimum standards and benchmarks for plans of subdivision and site plans, and list the range of matters that are to be addressed in the development of the lands. The Guidelines also provide direction on the design of the public realm, built form, and green infrastructure and buildings. The applications will be assessed against the policies and provisions of the Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines during the further processing of the applications. 4.4 Zoning By-law 3037 The subject lands are zoned “A” – Rural Agricultural Zone within Zoning By-law 3037, as amended, which currently permits a detached dwelling, home occupation, and various agricultural and related uses. The applicant has requested a zoning by-law amendment to repeal Zoning By-law 3037 as it affects the lands subject to Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 04/22, and to add these lands to the Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14 in an appropriate zone category to facilitate the implementation of the draft plan of subdivision. 5.

That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 07/21, submitted by KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc., to expand the list of permitted uses on the lands municipally known as 1695 Bayly Street, be approved, subject to the recommended zoning provisions contained in Appendix I to Report PLN 35-22, and that staff be authorized to finalize and forward an implementing Zoning By-law to Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Brock Road and Bayly Street, within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The applicants initially requested to amend the existing site-specific zoning by-law to permit an automobile sales showroom and office; automobile service repair garage; and various commercial uses, including a bakery and commercial club. However, City and Regional staff were concerned that the introduction of the commercial-related uses would not be compatible with the proposed primary use of the property for an automobile sales showroom and automobile service repair garage. As such, the applicants have revised their proposal to permit the following uses only: automobile sales showroom and office; automobile service repair garage; office-associated commercial establishment; and printing shop. The applicants are proposing a single-storey, “L”-shaped, 913 square metre, multi-tenant building fronting the intersection of Brock Road and Bayly Street. Proposed uses include 2 automobile sales offices and 4 service garages (see Submitted Site Plan, Elevation Plan and Coloured Rendering, Attachments #3, #4 and #5). As part of the revised proposal, the applicants enhanced the massing of the building by increasing the height of the building at the Brock Road and Bayly Street intersection. Staff support the revised proposal as it conforms to the policies within the Durham Regional Official Plan and Pickering Official Plan, which encourage employment uses. Accordingly, staff recommends that Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 07/21 be approved. - 30 - September 6, 2022 PLN 35-22 Subject: KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc. Page 2 Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. 1.Background 1.1 Property Description The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Brock Road and Bayly Street, within the Brock Industrial Neighbourhood (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The property has an area of approximately 0.6 of a hectare, with approximately 75 metres of frontage along Brock Road and 45 metres of frontage along Bayly Street. The property is currently vacant. The site was used until 2018 as a Petro-Canada service station and car wash facility. The current site-specific zoning for the property (By-law 5858/01) was enacted in 2001, and limits the permitted uses on the site to an automobile service station only. The surrounding land uses are as follows (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #2): North: Across Bayly Street are single-storey multi-tenant buildings with a range of industrial and limited commercial uses. South: Immediately to the south is a retail bike shop and an automobile repair shop. East: Across Brock Road are single-storey multi-tenant buildings with a range of industrial and limited commercial uses. West: Immediately to the west is a KIA automobile dealership, and further west is a recently constructed plaza with a range of industrial, limited commercial, and personal service uses. 2.Applicants’ Proposal The applicants initially requested an amendment to the existing site-specific zoning to permit the following uses: automobile sales showroom and office; automobile service repair garage; bakery; club; commercial club; commercial-recreational establishment; office-associated commercial establishment; and printing shop. Both the City and Regional staff identified a concern that the introduction of commercial uses (being bakery, club, commercial club and commercial-recreational establishment uses) would erode the primary employment uses for the subject site. Staff also questioned the compatibility of the commercial uses with the proposed primary use of the property for an automobile sales showroom and automobile service repair garage. As such, the applicants have revised their proposal to permit the following uses only: automobile sales showroom and office; automobile service repair garage; office-associated commercial establishment; and printing shop. - 31 - September 6, 2022 PLN 35-22 Subject: KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc. Page 3 The applicants are proposing a single-storey, “L”-shaped, 913 square metre multi-tenant building fronting the intersection of Brock Road and Bayly Street. Proposed uses include 2 automobile sales offices and 4 service garages (see Submitted Site Plan, Elevation Plan and Coloured Rendering, Attachments #3, #4 and #5). The remainder of the proposed uses is intended for opportunities for future tenancy. As part of the revised proposal, the applicants have enhanced the massing of the building by increasing the building height, and providing additional articulation and materials to further improve the architectural design of the building. To support the development, a total of 105 parking spaces are to be provided internal to the site, of which 30 spaces are intended for visitors and staff, and 75 parking spaces are intended as display spaces for the auto sales component. The proposal will be subject to site plan approval. 3.Comments Received 3.1 November 1, 2021, Electronic Statutory Public Meeting An electronic Statutory Public Meeting was held on November 1, 2021, where the owner of the adjacent KIA automobile dealership to the west spoke at the meeting. The following is a list of key comments and concerns expressed by the individual at the meeting: •concerned that the proposed uses will not maintain a level of prestige that is desired by the community; and •concerned that a proposed used car dealership will become an eyesore and have negative impacts on the surrounding streetscape. Key questions/comments raised by members of the Planning & Development Committee at the public meeting related to proposed automobile uses on the site; the long-term development of the site; the impact of the development on the streetscape; and outdoor storage on the site.

The Employment Areas designation permits a range of employment uses such as service industries, office buildings and business parks. The DROP states that the Region shall protect Employment Areas from consumption by personal service and retail uses. The revised proposal to permit employment uses on the site conforms to the applicable policies within the Durham Regional Official Plan. 4.2 The revised proposal conforms to the Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as “Employment Areas – Mixed Employment”. This designation permits a range of employment uses, including automotive and vehicle sales and repair; light manufacturing; assembly and processing of goods; light service industries; offices; corporate office business parks; limited personal service uses; restaurants; hotels; financial institutions; community, cultural and recreational uses; and limited retailing of goods and services serving the area. - 33 - September 6, 2022 PLN 35-22 Subject: KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc. Page 5 The revised proposed employment uses for the site are permitted within the Mixed Employment designation. The proposal conforms to the Pickering Official Plan. 4.3 The City’s Urban Design Control Architect has conducted a review of the proposed building During the statutory public meeting, Committee members expressed concerns about the proposed building design given its prominence at the Brock Road and Bayly Street intersection. The Pickering Official Plan states that the highest performance standards for site operation and appearance are required in Mixed Employment areas. The subject lands are located at the gateway intersection of Brock Road and Bayly Street. The site is highly visible to the public and therefore requires development to be of high-quality design. The Official Plan requires new development to maintain appropriate massing, proper site configuration, and a high level of architectural and landscape design features to address adjacent public roads. As part of the revised proposal, the applicants have increased the height of the building at the Brock Road and Bayly Street intersection from approximately 7.0 metres to 8.3 metres, to create further prominence at the corner. In addition, landscaping is proposed along all perimeters of the property to enhance the street frontage and shield views of the surface parking. A landscape feature is also proposed at the intersection corner, which includes seating areas and plantings (trees and shrubs). In addition, the revised architectural drawings were peer-reviewed by the City’s Urban Design Review Consultant. Overall, the City’s Urban Design Review Consultant is satisfied with the layout of the site plan, and finds the building to be well designed. The building utilizes large amounts of fenestration, variation and interest in the roof line, provides a variety of cladding materials (steel panel cladding and stone cladding), and well-defined entrances. Further enhancements to the building could be explored to improve the architecture, such as providing more vision glazing along the front façade of the building. The Urban Design Review Consultant will continue to be consulted throughout the site plan review process. 4.4 Response to key questions/comments raised by Committee members during the statutory public meeting Below is a summary of key questions/matters raised by Committee members during the statutory public meeting, and the applicants’ or staff's responses. Questions from Committee Members Applicants’ or Staff’s Response Committee members questioned if the applicants would be pursuing auto body uses on the subject lands. The applicants have advised that there will be no auto body uses on site. The proposed site-specific zoning by-law specifically prohibits any auto body-related uses. - 34 - September 6, 2022 PLN 35-22 Subject: KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc. Page 6 Questions from Committee Members Applicants’ or Staff’s Response Committee members questioned if the applicants will be selling innovative cars on-site, such as hybrid vehicles. The applicants have indicated that the tenants will decide which cars will be sold on-site. An electric vehicle charging station is proposed on-site. Committee members questioned if the sale and/or repair of strider vans is proposed as part of this development. The applicants have indicated that the ceiling and garage bays within the building are designed to be taller than normal to accommodate the sale and repair of strider vans. Committee members questioned the request for a bakery use and the intent of the overall long-term development of the subject lands. The applicants have removed the request for a bakery use. The intended long-term development of the subject lands is for a used car sales outlet and automobile service repair garage while permitting the office-associated commercial establishment and printing shop uses to provide flexibility for future tenants. Committee members expressed concerns about the impact the development may have on the streetscape, as the site is a key location in the City. As noted in Section 4.3 of this report, the design of the building has been peer-reviewed by the City's Urban Design Review Consultant. The Consultant is generally satisfied with the layout of the site plan and finds the building to be well designed. Through the site plan review process, staff will continue to engage the Urban Design Consultant to further explore opportunities to enhance the architectural design of the building. Committee members questioned if outdoor storage would be permitted on site, specifically the storage of non-operative vehicles or vehicles under repair. The implementing zoning by-law will prohibit outdoor storage. Committee members questioned if the applicants are requesting a truck rental zone. The applicants have indicated that a truck rental use has not been requested through this application and is not being considered at this time. 4.5 Development Services matters will be further addressed through a Site Plan Approval Application If Council approves this rezoning application, the applicants will be required to submit a Site Plan Review application. The City will have the opportunity to provide comments and conditions of approval to address development/technical matters such as, but not limited to: - 35 - PLN 35-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: KMSD Mankaryous Holdings Inc. and 1816638 Ontario Inc.

That Report PLN 36-22 of the Director, City Development & CBO, providing a discussion on the first draft of the City of Pickering Comprehensive Zoning By-law and community engagement, be received for information. Executive Summary: The first draft of the new City wide Zoning By-law, along with a sample interactive zoning map, are available for review and comment through Let’s Talk Pickering. The text and mapping can be reviewed and comments submitted online. Public consultation is currently underway and will continue to the end of 2022. An electronic open house, and in person drop-in sessions, will be scheduled throughout the fall. Comments received will inform the second draft of the By-law, to be released in early 2023 for statutory consultation. Staff is recommending that Council receive for information Report PLN 36-22 providing an update on the status of the first draft of the City of Pickering Comprehensive Zoning By-law and community engagement. Financial Implications: There are no financial implications applicable to this report. 1. Background In response to Report PLN 18-19 to the Planning & Development Committee (on June 17, 2019), that outlined the need to update and consolidate the City’s existing 6 parent Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520, 3036, 3037, 7364/14 and 7553/17, a multi-phase Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review (CZBR) was initiated. Phase 1 of the CZBR continued throughout 2020 and 2021, during which staff, along with the consultant, prepared a public consultation strategy, completed 8 discussion papers, and hosted an electronic open house. The discussion papers prepared in Phase 1 provided an overview of the relevant provisions in each of the existing parent zoning by-laws, along with an analysis of how the existing zoning relates to planning policies and legislation at the local, regional and - 48 - PLN 36-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 2 provincial levels. Also discussed were recent best practices in Ontario municipalities that have undertaken a comprehensive zoning by-law review. Ultimately, the discussion papers provided guiding principles, and recommended a zoning category structure for the preparation of the draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law (Draft Zoning By-law) in Phase 2. In Report PLN 03-22 to the Planning & Development Committee on January 10, 2022 (see Attachment #1), staff provided information on the Draft Zoning By-law, specifically about its structure; transition provisions; harmonization of definitions, general provisions; zoning categories; updating of parking provisions; site specific zoning amendments; zoning of the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas; and the use of new interactive mapping. 2. Public Release of the First Zoning Draft By-law and Public Engagement 2.1 Let’s Talk Pickering In July 2022, the first Draft Zoning By-law, and a sample interactive mapping tool, were released for public review and comment through Let’s Talk Pickering on the City’s website. This first Draft Zoning By-law will be available for review and comment until the end of November 2022. The text of the Draft Zoning By-law can be reviewed and comments submitted through Let’s Talk Pickering. The zoning mapping tool can be viewed and comments on the mapping be submitted by clicking on a property and completing the comment text area. Comments on the text and mapping will inform the second draft of the Draft Zoning By-law, which will be presented at a Statutory Public Meeting in early 2023. Let’s Talk Pickering is one central place for Draft Zoning By-law information. Currently, the site contains information and links to the project time line, the discussion papers, reports to Council, open house and informational videos, the text of the Draft Zoning By-law, the sample mapping tool, staff answers to submitted questions, community consultation program, and next steps. In the future, revised versions of the Draft Zoning By-law, and the mapping tool for the entire City, will be posted. In the coming weeks, there will be nine informational sheets released, summarizing a topic addressed in the Draft Zoning By-law. These sheets will contain explanatory graphics and outline key issues, and discuss how the existing Parent Zoning By-laws, and the Draft Zoning By-law, address the topic and related issues. The topics will include: 1. What is the Draft Zoning By-law? 2. How does the Draft Zoning By-law work? 3. Agricultural/Rural Areas: How does the Draft Zoning By-law protect and support agricultural and rural areas? 4. Employment Areas: How does the Draft Zoning By-law provide for a range of job opportunities and ensure land use compatibility? - 49 - PLN 36-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 3 5. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: How does the Draft Zoning By-law help conserve the environment? 6. Green Zoning: How can the Draft Zoning By-law help assist in supporting a more sustainable future? 7. Residential Neighbourhoods: How does the Draft Zoning By-law regulate development and character in our residential neighbourhoods? 8. Commercial and Mixed Use Intensification Areas: How does the Draft Zoning By-law address growth and intensification? 9. Parking and Loading: How does the Draft Zoning By-law enable balanced transportation options? 2.2 Public Engagement Consultation on the first Draft Zoning By-law is currently underway and will be completed by the end of 2022. An electronic open house will be scheduled for October 2022. At this open house, a presentation will provide an orientation on the Draft Zoning By-law, and will highlight major changes to the original existing Zoning By-laws that the Draft Zoning By-law proposes. Following the electronic open house, informal drop-in sessions at a City venue will be scheduled in October. Notice of the electronic open house and drop-in sessions will be circulated to the public, stakeholders, and Council. At the drop-in sessions, City staff and the City’s consultant will be available to provide one- on-one orientation to the Draft Zoning By-law. Additionally, staff will meet with any agency requesting an overview of the Draft Zoning By-law. 3. ‘Green’ Zoning Standards Review To implement the City’s Integrated Sustainable Design Standards Checklist, a review is underway to develop ‘green’ zoning provisions. The Green Zoning Standards Review will review other municipal zoning by-laws within the GTA to understand best practices for integrating sustainability requirements within municipal zoning provisions. Based on input from staff and stakeholders, zoning provisions will be recommended for incorporation into the second Draft Zoning By-law. Standards having potential for support through zoning provisions include, heat island reduction (green roofs, cool roofs, solar requirements), bird friendly design, common outdoor amenity space, private pedestrian walkways, light pollution reduction, bicycle parking and storage facilities, and electric vehicles (including plug-in hybrid vehicles). 4. Next Steps Consultation on the first Draft Zoning By-law, comprising an electronic open house and in person drop-in sessions, will take place during the fall of 2022. Comments received from the consultation will inform the preparation of the second Draft Zoning By-law. Site specific amendments, and the full interactive mapping tool will be included in the second Draft Zoning By-law. In early 2023, the second Draft Zoning By-law will be released for statutory consultation. - 50 - PLN 36-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 4 Attachment: 1.

Executive Summary: The first draft of the new City wide Zoning By-law, along with a sample interactive zoning map, will be available in the first quarter of 2022 for review and comment on the City’s Let’s Talk digital platform. This first draft will be the parent part of the By-law containing definitions, general regulations, establishment of zoning categories and their regulations, and parking regulations. Site specific exceptions and a full interactive map will be available through later drafts of the By-law. To assist in reviewing and commenting on the first draft Zoning By-law, there will be brief explanations of how certain matters are addressed by the By-law and how to determine the zoning of properties. Also through Let’s Talk, staff will provide answers to submitted questions, continue targeted community engagement and consultation, and provide updates on the Zoning Review. The draft Zoning By-law text and zoning schedules will be compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. Staff is recommending that Council receive for information Report PLN 03-22 providing an update on the status of the City of Pickering Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review. Financial Implications: There are no financial implications applicable to this report. 1. Discussion: 1.1 Guiding principles developed in Phase 1 of the Zoning Review were used to prepare the first draft of the City wide Zoning By-law In early 2021, staff reported to Council on comments received from the public and stakeholders, and on the details of the findings of the discussion papers prepared as part of Phase 1 of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review (the Zoning Review). The purpose of the Zoning Review is to consolidate and update Pickering’s existing 6 parent - 52 - Report PLN 03-22 January 10, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 2 Zoning By-laws 2511, 2520, 3036, 3037, 7364/14 and 7553/17. The discussion papers provided an overview of the following: the relevant provisions in each of the existing parent Zoning By-laws; an analysis of how the existing zoning relates to planning policies and legislation at the local, regional, and provincial levels; and a discussion of recent best practices in other Ontario municipalities. Each paper concludes with the identification and assessment of key policy gaps and issues, and proposes a general structure of zoning categories and provisions. 1.2 A draft Zoning By-law for the City is available for review and comment Through the Let’s Talk Pickering platform, the community will be able to view the first draft of the Zoning By-law text and the sample interactive mapping tool, and submit comments. To assist, there will be brief explanations of how certain matters are addressed by the By-law and how to determine the zoning of properties. Also through Let’s Talk, staff will provide answers to submitted questions, continue targeted community engagement and consultation, and provide updates on the Zoning Review. The draft Zoning By-law text and zoning schedules will meet the accessibility requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. When completed, the new City wide draft By-law will implement Official Plan policy, replace and update definitions and provisions, amalgamate site specific provisions, contain explanatory illustrations and notations, and allow more consistent interpretations of zoning provisions. The new City wide Zoning By-law and interactive mapping will be available on the City’s website and will be updated as new by-law amendments are adopted by City Council. 1.3 The formats of the more recently written Seaton and City Centre Zoning By-laws were used for the preparation of the first draft of the City wide Zoning By-law Zoning by-laws typically contain a number of main sections that apply to all zone categories, including administration, general regulation, definitions, and parking regulation. By-laws also include sections for specific zone categories, including residential, mixed use, employment, community use, utility, and natural heritage. Also included in zoning by-laws is a visual representation of the various zoning categories and how they apply to properties within the municipality. These maps are referred to as zoning schedules. The format of the new consolidated Zoning By-law will contain similar sections and mapping. Currently, there are 6 parent Zoning By-laws that govern the zoning of specific areas of the City. The existing Zoning By-laws include: • Zoning By-law 2511 – Frenchman’s Bay Area; • Zoning By-law 2520 – Bay Ridges Area; • Zoning By-law 3037 – Rural Area; • Zoning By-law 7364/14 – Seaton Urban Area; • Zoning By-law 7553/17 – City Centre; and • Zoning By-law 3036 – covers the remaining urban area. - 53 - Report PLN 03-22 January 10, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 3 The purpose of the Zoning Review is to consolidate, harmonize, and update the administration, general regulations, definitions, parking regulations and zoning categories and their regulations sections from the six parent By-laws and create one zoning document that covers the entire City. The residential, commercial, mixed-use, employment, environmental, open space, rural, and institutional zoning categories and regulations from the existing parent By-laws have been consolidated, renamed, and updated in the draft By-law. The City Centre zoning categories have been carried forward into the draft By-law and appear in a separate section. The Seaton Zoning By-law, along with recent Council adopted amendments, has also been carried forward into the draft By-law in its entirety. The sections of the first draft Zoning By-law are as follows: • Administration; • Establishment of Zones and Schedules; • Definitions; • General Regulations; • Parking, Stacking, and Loading Regulations; • Residential Zone Regulations; • Commercial and Mixed-Use Zone Regulations; • Employment Zone Regulations; • City Centre Zone Regulations; • Environmental Protection and Open Space Zone Regulations; • Rural and Oak Ridges Moraine Zone Regulations; • Institutional and Other (Urban Reserve and Utility Zones) Zone Regulations; • Seaton Urban Area; • Exceptions Zone; and • Zoning Schedules. 1.4 Existing conditions and transition provisions are addressed in the Administration section New structures and uses will be required to conform to the new City wide Zoning By-law once it is adopted by City Council, subject to the resolution of any appeals of the new By-law. However, as the intent of the new Zoning By-law is to consolidate existing zoning categories and provisions, the Administration section contains provisions allowing any existing use or structure, that is in conformity with the previous in-force parent Zoning By-laws, to continue. The Administration section also contains transition provisions that allow minor variance, site plan, and building permit applications that were submitted prior to the passing of the new City wide Zoning By-law (and that comply with all zoning by-laws in force at the time of application submission), to continue to be processed. The intent is to recognize previous planning approvals obtained in accordance with the existing Zoning By-laws, and to allow for the issuance of a building permit without further amendment to the new City wide Zoning By-law. - 54 - Report PLN 03-22 January 10, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 4 1.5 Definitions and general provisions are harmonized across the City Definitions, definition names, and zoning provisions have been consolidated and updated to reflect contemporary planning practice, and market and development trends. A few of the updated and new definitions included in the new draft Zoning By-law include active recreational use, agri-tourism, cannabis cultivation, grade or average grade, group home, and seasonal farm help dwelling. 1.6 The first draft of the new draft Zoning By-law includes updated definitions and provisions addressing matters such as secondary suites, and agricultural related uses Bill 108, the More Homes, More Choices Act, allows secondary suites in detached, semi-detached, and row houses, within primary dwellings and ancillary buildings, or structures such as coach houses and laneway houses. The different names and definitions used in the existing parent By-laws have been harmonized in the draft Zoning By-law to ensure conformity with the Planning Act, consistency throughout the draft By-law, and to encourage a greater range of housing options within the City. Provincial policies and guidelines encouraging expansion to the range of uses permitted in the agricultural areas are reflected in the draft By-law through new and updated definitions and regulations for agricultural uses. 1.7 While existing zoning categories were collapsed into new zoning categories, the intent is to maintain existing zoning permissions A review of each of the existing parent By-laws found that the By-laws did not use the same zones to categorize uses and development standards, presenting a challenge in consolidating the parent By-laws. A detailed analysis was undertaken of the existing zoning categories for each type of use, the minor variances approved, and the numerous site specific by-law amendments adopted over the years, to identify the similarities and differences between zones within the various land uses. The discussion papers discussed how the zones could be collapsed or eliminated, while maintaining the existing zoning permissions. The draft By-law contains streamlined zoning categories that conform with the Official Plan, while providing consistency across the City and continuity for residents and the development proponents. An objective of the Zoning Review was to retain the general intent of the existing parent By-laws, while ensuring that current zoning permissions were maintained. In many zone categories, the zoning permissions were expanded. A concordance table identifying how the existing zone categories are collapsed into new zone categories will be available on the Let’s Talk Pickering project site. - 55 - Report PLN 03-22 January 10, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 5 1.8 Parking provisions have been updated using a consolidation of Seaton and City Centre provisions and best practices The parking and loading provisions of the draft By-law have been updated to incorporate the modern aspects of the City Centre and Seaton By-laws, and best practices. This effectively introduces a zoning approach that better aligns with City, Regional, and Provincial policy for reducing automobile dependence, and increasing transit use. This approach includes aligning parking requirements across land uses, providing parking requirements where missing, applying consistent visitor parking requirements, expanding minimum dimensions for interior garage space, and implementing shared parking City wide. 1.9 The existing Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14 is consolidated in the draft By-law as its own chapter The Seaton Zoning By-law is its own chapter, with its own definitions and general provisions. It remains mostly unchanged, with the exception of reflecting recent amendments adopted by City Council, and the removal of the administration section, which has been harmonized with the administration section for the overall draft By-law. 1.10 The by-law implementing the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node and Intensification Study will be reflected in a future draft of the By-law The first draft of the draft By-law does not reflect the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node and Intensification Study. However, the Council adopted implementing by-law will be reflected in a future draft of the By-law. 1.11 The second draft of the draft By-law will incorporate a review of all existing site-specific zoning by-law amendments A detailed review of the numerous site specific amendments is ongoing. Any existing site specific amendments, which will be permitted as of right (as a result of the new provisions and zoning categories of the draft By-law), will be deleted. For those site specific amendments that will not be permitted as of right, the site specific provisions will be carried forward into the new By-law. 1.12 Mapping is designed to be interactive, user friendly, and accessible An important outcome of the Zoning Review will be that both the new By-law text and mapping will be available through the City’s website for staff and the public to access. Paper copies of the By-law will also be available. The sample mapping that will be available on the Let’s Talk site, along with the first draft of the By-law, will allow the public and stakeholders to try out and comment on interactive mapping. The final By-law will contain mapping that includes an overall index map and coloured zone maps. Overlays will be used to identify other information that may affect what can happen on a property such as Oak Ridges Moraine, Minister’s Zoning Orders, and conservation authority regulated areas. - 56 - Report PLN 03-22 January 10, 2022 Subject: Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Page 6 The intention is also to make the new Zoning By-law more visually appealing with the addition of graphics and illustrations, which will be included in the second draft of the draft By-law. 2. Next steps The first draft of the By-law will be available through Let’s Talk Pickering on the City’s website for the first quarter of 2022. During this time, staff will engage with the public and other stakeholders through open houses and meetings with specific stakeholders.

That Council authorize staff to undertake the Engagement Strategy for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas Zoning By-law Amendment, as generally outlined in Report PLN 37-22; and 2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: Council directed City Development staff to work with the Economic Development & Strategic Projects Department, and the Public Affairs & Corporate Communications Division, to prepare an engagement strategy, for the City Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment process for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas for endorsement by Council (see Resolution #799/22, Attachment #1). In accordance with the direction of Council, a Corporate Working Group (CWG) with representation from appropriate City departments was established and has met regularly to prepare the recommended Engagement Strategy presented in this report. The recommended Engagement Strategy is divided into four phases offering multiple opportunities for sharing information and feedback with, and between, City staff, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. The engagement opportunities include Information Sessions, Workshops, a Survey, and Public Open House and Public Meeting required by the Planning Act. In addition, there will continue to be opportunities for individual meetings between staff, community members and stakeholders, throughout all phases. The recommended Engagement Strategy is supported by a Communications Plan that identifies tactics and tools to create broad knowledge and understanding of the project, and opportunities to participate such as: a dedicated content page on the City’s website; a dedicated content page and opportunities for participation on the City’s digital public engagement platform, Let’s Talk Pickering; a community survey; social media; facility banners; newspaper ads in the Pickering News Advertiser; Digital Community Billboard Signs and boulevard signs; mailed letters; and eNewsletters. - 58 - PLN 37-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas Page 2 Many of the recommended media opportunities come with no additional cost to the City. However, other recommended media, such as social media advertising, newspaper ads, and boulevard signs, have an associated cost. The recommended Engagement Strategy will have an advertising budget of approximately $5,000.00, in support of the Communications Plan, to help support reaching as wide an audience as possible for this initiative. Financial Implications: Advertising expenses associated with the Engagement Strategy and incurred in 2022 can be accommodated in the City’s 2022 approved budget. The balance of funds required for advertising in 2023 will be considered through the normal 2023 budget process. 1. Background 1.1 Genesis of the Engagement Strategy On January 24, 2022, Council passed Resolution #799/22 directing City Development staff to, among other matters, work with the Economic Development & Strategic Projects Department, and the Public Affairs & Corporate Communications Division, to prepare an engagement strategy for the City Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment process for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas for endorsement by Council. This resolution was adopted in recognition of the interest of the residents, businesses, and other stakeholders, and concerns expressed by the public regarding the impacts and implications of future development within these intensification areas. 1.2 Official Plan Amendment 38 The Provincial Growth Plan, A Place to Grow, requires the Region of Durham and the City of Pickering to develop a strategy to accommodate provincial and regional population and employment targets. Through the South Pickering Intensification Study, the Kingston Mixed Corridor and the Brock Mixed Node were identified as the best place for intensification outside of the City Centre, which also enables the protection and maintenance of stable established residential neighbourhoods in the City. Following a two year detailed study, in December 2019, Council endorsed in principle the Kingston Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node Intensification Plan and draft Urban Design Guidelines. This report provided the vision and framework for intensification and redevelopment within the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node and informed the preparation of Official Plan Amendment 38 (OPA 38). On January 24, 2022, Council adopted OPA 38 which adds new policies and changes existing policies and land use designations to the Pickering Official Plan, to enable the redevelopment and intensification of the Kingston Mixed Corridor and the Brock Mixed Node, in support of the anticipated population and employment growth. - 59 - PLN 37-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas Page 3 OPA 38 is being reviewed by, and will not be in effect until it receives approval from, the Regional Municipality of Durham. The recommended engagement strategy will commence following the approval of OPA 38. 1.3 Corporate Working Group In accordance with Resolution #799/22, a Corporate Working Group (CWG) was established in April 2022 and consisted of representation from City Development Department, Economic Development & Strategic Projects Department, and the Public Affairs & Corporate Communications Division. The CWG has met regularly since April 2022 to prepare the recommended engagement strategy presented in this report. 2. Engagement Strategy and Communications Plan 2.1 Engagement Strategy The successful completion of this Engagement Strategy will result in information sharing with, and robust feedback from, residents, businesses and other stakeholders, related to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas. Staff is proposing an Engagement Strategy that will include continued collaboration between City departments through the CWG meetings, to be completed in four phases as follows: • Phase 1: Inform and Discuss will include Information Sessions, Workshops, and a Survey to inform and consult with the community, and to begin the discussion about the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Zoning By-law Amendment. The Information Sessions and Workshops will be distinguished according to precincts, and will also include sessions targeted specifically to business owners and leaseholders. • Phase 2: Statutory Open House and Public Meeting will include a Public Open House and Public Meeting, required by the Planning Act. These statutory meetings will serve to present the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment for the intensification area, and offer an opportunity for feedback from the community and stakeholders. • Phase 3: Comment: Based on the feedback from the community and stakeholders in Phase 2, staff may propose revisions to the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment. Staff will then prepare the Recommendation Report. If necessary, an additional engagement session (a Public Information Centre), could be scheduled to present a revised Draft Zoning By-law Amendment to the community and stakeholders, prior to staff’s preparation of the Recommendation Report. - 60 - PLN 37-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas Page 4 • Phase 4: Decide will include staff’s presentation of a Recommended Zoning By-law Amendment to Planning & Development Committee for Council’s consideration. There will always be opportunities for individual meetings between staff and community members and stakeholders throughout all phases. In addition, the Engagement Strategy will be supported by a Communications Plan, which is detailed in section 2.3 of this report. 2.2 Timing/Project Management The Engagement Strategy could be completed in 12 months and in 4 phases: • Phase 1: Inform and Discuss will begin following the Region’s approval of OPA 38 and take 3 to 4 months to complete. • Phase 2: Statutory Open House and Public Meeting could take 1 to 2 months to complete. • Phase 3: Comment could take 3 to 4 months to complete. An additional engagement session in Phase 3 could add another 2 months to the process. • Phase 4: Decide could take 1 to 2 months to complete. Reporting to Planning & Development Committee will occur through an Information Report in Phase 2 (to be considered at the Statutory Public Meeting) and a Recommendation Report at the conclusion of Phase 4. 2.3 Communications Plan The Public Affairs & Corporate Communications Division, in consultation with the Corporate Working Group, has prepared a Communications Plan that outlines the background and objectives of the initiative, as well as a variety of tools at the City’s disposal for communicating with its target audience. The Communications Plan is a living document that is flexible enough to respond to changing needs throughout the project. Identified tools to reach the target audience include: • a dedicated content page and opportunities for participation on the City’s digital public engagement platform, Let’s Talk Pickering; • a community survey; • social media; • facility banners; • newspaper ads in the Pickering News Advertiser; • Digital Community Billboard Signs and boulevard signs; • mailed letters; and • eNewsletters. - 61 - PLN 37-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas Page 5 The Communications Plan proposes media opportunities that the City owns, such as the website and Let’s Talk Pickering, which does not have any additional cost associated with it. Other media, such as social media advertising, newspaper ads, and boulevard signs, will benefit from a budget of approximately $5,000.00. Advertising expenses associated with the Engagement Strategy incurred in 2022 can be accommodated in the City’s 2022 approved budget. The balance of funds required for advertising in 2023 will be considered through the normal 2023 budget process. 2.4 Relationship to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review Consultation processes for the Draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law, and the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Zoning By-law Amendment, are proceeding separately and concurrently. The completed Zoning By-law Amendment for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node will be incorporated into the final Comprehensive Zoning By-law. 3. Recommendation It is recommended that City staff undertake an Engagement Strategy for the Kingston Mixed Corridor and Brock Mixed Node Intensification Areas Zoning By-law Amendment generally as outlined in Report PLN 37-22. It is anticipated that the engagement strategy will take approximately 12 months and benefit from an advertising budget approximately $5,000.00. Attachment: 1.

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 In 2015, the (then) Ontario Infrastructure and Land Corporation (OILC) submitted 5 separate applications for approval of draft plans of subdivision and related zoning by-law amendments for lands in several Seaton Neighborhoods, including the subject lands located within Thompson’s Corner Neighbourhood. In 2018, OILC sold the subject lands to Seaton TFPM Inc., who revised the applications. Seaton TFPM Inc., proceeded with the approval of the first phase of the draft plan of subdivision referred to as Phase 1A, located south of Fifth Concession Road, in advance of the remaining draft plan (see Location Map, Attachment #1). On April 26, 2021, Council endorsed the Phase 1A draft plan and related conditions, and approved the implementing site specific by-law. The lands were draft plan approved on October 13, 2021. The lands subject to this report, are the remaining draft plan of subdivision lands located within Thompson’s Corner Neighbourhood, consisting of multiple individual parcels having a total land area of approximately 122 hectares (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #2). Surrounding land uses include: North: The Hamlet of Brougham, and on the north side of Highway 7 are rural lands owned by the Federal Government intended for a future airport site; these lands currently support agricultural/rural activities. South: Additional lands owned by the Province designated as Seaton Natural Heritage System. East: North of the Fifth Concession Road are rural/open space lands, and south of the Fifth Concession Road, in the Town of Ajax, there is a pioneer cemetery and rural uses. West: Additional lands owned by the Province that are designated as Seaton Natural Heritage System, and along the Highway 407/ETR corridor are additional future Employment Lands, and the eastern edges of Seaton Neighbourhoods 19 and 21. - 66 - PLN 39-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Seaton TFPM Inc. (SP-2015-03 (R) and A 05/15 (R)) Page 3 1.2 Applicant’s Revised Proposal The submitted draft plan of subdivision contains blocks for a broad range of uses, including employment, mixed-use, residential, community facilities, such as schools, parks, and a recreation centre. An outline of the details of the draft plan are noted on Attachment #3, and illustrated on the Colour Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision on Attachment #4. The proposal includes approximately 2,205 residential units consisting of: • 144 detached dwellings and 601 street townhouses; and • a minimum of 1,460 residential units are projected for the Mixed Corridor, Community Node and Gateway site blocks, based on the minimum required density. The zoning for these lands will permit a variety of residential forms, such as apartments and mixed use buildings, block townhouses and back-to-back townhouses. These lands will be subject to site plan approval, and therefore, the uses, densities, and number of units will be determined in future applications. Through collaboration between City staff and the applicant, the following is a summary of the key changes that have been made to the proposal (see Attachment #4, and Revised Draft Plan Part A and Part B, Attachments #7 and #8): • the number of units increased slightly from 2,203 units to 2,205 units; • local municipal roads and stormwater management ponds were added for the prestige employment blocks located north of 407 and west of Mowbray Street, as generally shown on the Thompson’s Corner Neighbourhood Plan; • a condition of draft approval was added, requiring the applicant to make appropriate arrangements to acquire necessary lands from the Federal and/or Provincial authorities to provide road right-of-way width to municipal standards to employment Blocks located east of Mowbray Street and south of Highway 7; • an east-west trail head block was added from the Neighbourhood Park, located west of Brock Road, across the Natural Heritage System (NHS), via a walkway to a local street, providing a direct route to a Park for residents located the west side of Brock Road; and • a trail head block was added west of Sideline 16, providing a direct connection to a Neighbourhood Park. 2. Comments Received 2.1 October 5, 2015 and March 2, 2020 Statutory Public Meeting On October 5, 2015, a Statutory Pubic Meeting was held to consider five separate draft plans of subdivision and related zoning amendment applications submitted by Ontario Infrastructure and Land Corporation (OILC) including the lands located in Neighbourhood 20: Thompson’s Corner Neighbourhood Plan.

The vision includes the integration of new, sustainable urban development, while ensuring the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of the natural heritage system. The objectives and policies of the CPDP are designed to achieve the vision of Seaton. - 69 - PLN 39-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Seaton TFPM Inc. (SP-2015-03 (R) and A 05/15 (R)) Page 6 The subject lands are located within the Seaton Urban Area. The Official Plan contains policies governing the various land use designations, such as Residential Areas, Mixed Use Areas, Employment Areas, and Open Space System, that govern lands in the draft plan of subdivision. The Official Plan establishes various policies for such matters as density, intensity of land use, and sustainability. Chapter 11 of the Official Plan further defines the land use designations, as well as establishes policies for such matters as the Seaton natural heritage system, cultural heritage, sustainable development, servicing, population targets, and urban design. The Thompson’s Corner Neighbourhood is planned to have a broad range of land uses and residential built forms and densities (see Neighbourhood 20: Thompson’s Corner Neighbourhood Plan, Attachment #5). The proposed development will result in a compact, walkable and pedestrian focused neighbourhood. It is planned as a complete community, that includes a full range of uses, including employment, mixed use, community facilities and residential areas, with linkages to the Natural Heritage System. The proposed revised plan of subdivision conforms to the CPDP, the Pickering Official Plan, the Seaton Urban Area policies, and the Thompson’s Corners Neighbourhood Plan policies. 3.2 The Draft Plan of Subdivision complies with the Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines The Seaton Sustainable Place-Making Guidelines address the urban design guidelines contained within the CPDP. Further, they expand upon the key design elements, set out minimum standards and benchmarks for plans of subdivision and site plans, and list the range of matters that are to be addressed in the development of the lands. The Guidelines also provide direction on the design of the public realm, built form, and green infrastructure and buildings. The subdivision has been designed in accordance with the Guidelines and addresses the subdivision urban design requirements. Further design matters will be expanded upon in the required architectural control guidelines that will be required as a condition of draft plan approval. 3.3 The draft plan of subdivision will be developed in phases The lands subject to the proposal are located within both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 servicing areas of the Seaton Community (see Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision (Parts A and B), Attachments #7 and #8). Regional municipal infrastructure and roadworks required in Phase 2 are dependent on the execution of the Phase 2 Front Ending Agreement, and Holding provisions, as described in Section 3.7. The applicant has prepared a phasing plan in accordance with the servicing areas of the Seaton Community (see Applicant’s Phasing Plan, Attachment #6). Phases 1A and 1B are within the Seaton Phase 1 servicing area. The first phase of the Thompson’s Corners Neighbourhood to be developed is Phase 1A, located south of Fifth Concession Road, which was draft approved on October 13, 2021. The next phase to be developed is - 70 - PLN 39-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Seaton TFPM Inc. (SP-2015-03 (R) and A 05/15 (R)) Page 7 Phase 1B, located west of Brock Road, north of Alexander Knox Drive. The applicant advises that Phase 1B is targeted to start servicing in the Fall of 2023. The construction of detached dwellings and townhouse units is anticipated to begin the summer of 2024. The applicant advises that park blocks within Phase 1B will be built after the completion of residential units, and as residents start to occupy their homes. The timing of the completion of parks is dependent on the time of year, size, and complexity of the project. The applicant further advises that the development of the mixed-use blocks (including but not limited to apartment buildings, back-to-back townhouses, and mix of retail uses) located within Phase 1B will be developed in the future, and is dependent on end user and market conditions. Lands within the Applicant’s Phasing Plan referred to as Phases 2A, 2B, and Future Phase 2 (employment blocks) are located within Phase 2 servicing areas of the Seaton Community. These lands will be developed in a phased sequence, based on receiving all required approvals, and market demand for these blocks. 3.4 The TRCA and the City require a ‘hold condition’ on portions of the draft plan of subdivision to prevent the sale of lots until additional technical work is submitted The TRCA and the City's Engineering Services Department advises that additional technical work is required with respect to portions of the draft plan of subdivision, and request that “holds” (hold condition) be placed on specific blocks until the applicant resolves technical environmental and engineering matters at the detailed design review stage. As a result of the holds condition, the applicant may not sell or market these lands. The blocks subject to the hold condition are located within the Phase 2A of the draft plan, located east of Brock Road and north of Fifth Concession Road, as shown on the Applicant’s Phasing Plan, Attachment #6. The affected blocks are planned for residential uses, mixed corridor, gateway sites, and community nodes uses. The hold condition does not apply to blocks intended for community uses, including schools, recreation centre, and park blocks loca ted within this phase of the plan. Both the City and TRCA are requiring, as a condition of approval, that the Owner enters into a “no sales or marketing agreement” with the City, and the Owner registers a section 118 restrictive covenant on the lands. These actions prohibit the sale, marketing, or other disposition of the certain lots and blocks identified in the conditions of approval, until such time as the Owner resolves the technical requirements. Once the TRCA and the City are satisfied, then the City will do all things necessary to release the area to allow the sale of the affected blocks. If the Owner is not able to resolve the technical environmental and/or engineering matters in Phase 2A at detailed design, the applicant will be required to revise the portion of the draft plan layout and rezone the lands affected. - 71 - PLN 39-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Seaton TFPM Inc. (SP-2015-03 (R) and A 05/15 (R)) Page 8 3.5 Response to Additional Key Concerns As noted in Section 2.2 of this report, the Planning & Development Committee provided comments at the Electronic Statutory Public Meeting held on March 7, 2022. The applicant has addressed questions regarding the timing of construction of various components of the development. The table below summarizes other questions raised at the Planning & Development Committee. Comments Response Questioned whether the City would be working with the landowner to expedite the approvals of commercial and employment lands of the development. As discussed in Section 3.3 of this report, employment uses are located in Seaton Phase 2 servicing areas. These lands can be developed once the Seaton Landowners Group execute the Phase 2 Front Ending Agreement, and the Holding provisions are lifted. In addition, commercial uses are permitted within mixed-use zones, and the applicant advises that the development of the mixed-use blocks (including but not limited to, apartment buildings, back-to-back townhouses and mix of retail uses) located within Phase 1B, will be developed in the future, and are dependent on end user and market conditions. Some of the mixed-use blocks are also located in Seaton Phase 2 servicing areas. Requested that the new schools be designed with safe drop off and pick up areas that do not conflict with surrounding residential lands. City staff will work with the respective school boards to ensure the site design of new school blocks provides for a safe and convenient pedestrian circulation, drop-off, and pick-up areas and parking areas. 3.6 Exemption to the two year time-out period for minor variance applications Bill 73, the Smart Growth for Our Communities Act, 2015, amended the Planning Act by removing the ability for an applicant to apply for a minor variance for two years following the passing of an applicant-initiated zoning by-law amendment. However, the Planning Act changes also permit a municipal Council to allow minor variance applications to proceed on a case-by-case basis by Council resolution. The Province indicated that the intent of the amendment is to prevent, for a two-year period, zoning provisions that Council determines to be important from being reversed through the minor variance process. Staff recommend that Council grant an exemption, in accordance with Section 45 (1.4) of the Planning Act, to permit minor variance applications to be considered by the Committee of Adjustment, resulting from the further processing of the draft plan of subdivision, and site plan and building permit applications. - 72 - PLN 39-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Seaton TFPM Inc.

The existing performance standards of Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14 for detached dwellings, street townhouses, mixed uses, employment uses and community uses will be applied to the proposed draft plan of subdivision. In accordance with the Pickering Official Plan, Chapter 11, Seaton Urban Area, the completion of a future transportation planning study is to be undertaken by the Seaton landowners and completed prior to development proceeding beyond the Seaton first phase of development. Therefore, as per Section 11.1 of Seaton Zoning By-law 7364/14, a holding provision is applied to draft plan of subdivision lands beyond the Seaton Phase 1 lands, as shown in hatching on the draft Schedules I, II and III, Appendix II. Holding provisions shall be removed when: i) a transportation study is completed identifying the need, and if warranted, the extent and timing of additional transportation improvements including collector and arterial roads internal to the Seaton Urban Area, road linkages external to the Seaton Urban Area including linkages internal and external to Durham Region and interchanges with Highway 407 ETR that may be required to support development beyond the first phase, which shall not exceed 9,800 detached equivalent units, as defined in the Staged Servicing and Implementation Strategy. The transportation study is to be undertaken by the landowners in consultation with the City of Pickering, Durham Region, City of Toronto and York Region, and shall be in accordance with Policy 11.74 (b) of the Pickering Official Plan, as amended by Pickering Official Plan Amendment 22; and ii) the City is satisfied that the transportation improvements identified in the transportation study referred to in (i) above as required to support the development of the subsequent phase to be released from the H – holding provision will be provided in accordance with the timing recommended by the transportation study, and that satisfactory arrangements are in place for the funding of those transportation improvements. Staff supports the rezoning application, and recommends that the draft by-law, attached as Appendix II to this Report, be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. 3.8 Technical matters will be addressed as conditions of subdivision approval To ensure appropriate development, the City, Region, TRCA, and MTO 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: • architectural treatment; • road design; • noise attenuation measures; • construction management/erosion and sediment control; - 73 - PLN 39-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Seaton TFPM Inc.

That Council endorse the Staff comments contained in Appendix I to Report PLN 40-22 as the City’s formal comments on the draft Regional Agricultural System mapping, in relation to the lands in the City of Pickering, reflected in Attachments #5 and #7 to the Commissioner of Planning & Economic Development’s Report 2022-P-16, and that the Region investigate the following matters as part of finalizing the mapping and associated policies for the new Regional Official Plan: a. Whether the proposed Prime Agricultural Areas designation with a proposed Natural Heritage System Overlay, on the Agricultural Preserve lands, conforms with the Central Pickering Development Plan Natural Heritage System – Primary Designation along the West Duffins Creek Valley; b. Whether the proposed Prime Agricultural Areas overlay designation provides appropriate protection for Natural Core Areas on the Oak Ridges Moraine; c. Whether there is an appropriate level of protection for key hydrologic features, such as wetlands, against unwanted farm practices, on lands that are proposed to be re-designated Prime Agricultural Area; d. That the proposed re-designation of lands, from Major Open Space to Prime Agricultural Areas, that have significant natural heritage and hydrologic features (e.g., wetlands complexes), and are located between Greenwood and Lake Ridge Road, be reconsidered; 2. That the Region acknowledge the exception for a cemetery use on lands located northeast of the Hamlet of Greenwood, between Highway 407 and Highway 7, reflected as “E3” on Schedule I of the Land Use Structure in the Pickering Official Plan, by including a policy exception in the Regional Official Plan; 3. That a copy of Council’s Resolution and Report PLN 40-22 be forwarded to the Region for consideration; and 4. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. - 114 - PLN 40-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Envision Durham – Implementing the Provincial Agricultural System Page 2 Executive Summary: On June 7, 2022, the Regional Municipality of Durham released the Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development’s Report 2022-P-16 (Report 2022-P-16). This Report identified a draft Regional Agricultural System (RAS) to be added to the new Regional Official Plan (ROP). The draft RAS implements the Provincial Agricultural System as part of Envision Durham, the Region’s comprehensive review of its Official Plan. A copy of Report 2022-P-16 and accompanying attachments are provided as Attachment #1 to this report. The Region is requesting comments on the draft RAS mapping by September 9, 2022. City staff recommend that the recommendations, and comments contained in Appendix I and in Section 2 of this report, be endorsed as the City comments on the draft Regional Agricultural System mapping in relation to lands within the City of Pickering, and that a copy of Council’s Resolution and Report PLN 40-22 be forwarded to the Region for consideration. Since the deadline for comments is September 9, 2022, staff will also be providing a copy of Report PLN 40-22, and the draft minutes of the Planning & Development Committee meeting of September 6, 2022, to the Region, ahead of Council’s consideration of the matter. Financial Implications: This report has no financial implications for the City. Discussion: 1. Background The current Regional Official Plan (ROP) designates rural areas in the Region, where agricultural lands and uses are predominant, as Prime Agricultural Areas. Consistent with Provincial policies and Provincial Plans, the ROP also contains policies that permit a wide range of agricultural, agricultural-related, and secondary uses in Major Open Space Area designations. In 2018, the Province released a map identifying a Provincial Agricultural System (PAS) across the Greater Golden Horseshoe, based on a Land Evaluation Area Review by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The PAS includes an agricultural land base that consists of prime agricultural areas, specialty crop areas and rural lands, and an agri-food network. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Greenbelt Plan, and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, require the implementation of the PAS through updates to upper and single tier official plans. The implementation of the PAS in the new ROP stems from the Provincial Policy Statement that: requires prime agricultural areas to be protected for long-term agricultural use and to be designated in accordance with provincial guidelines; and encourages planning authorities to use a system approach to maintain and enhance the geographic continuity of the agricultural land base, and functional and economic connections of the agri-food network 1. 1 Agri-food network includes infrastructure, services and assets important to the viability of the agri-food sector - 115 - PLN 40-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Envision Durham – Implementing the Provincial Agricultural System Page 3 In March 2020, the Province released implementation procedures for the PAS to assist municipalities, farmers, and other stakeholders with interpreting and implementing the PAS. According to the implementation procedures, upper-tier municipalities may refine the PAS mapping of the agricultural land base at the time of the initial implementation of the PAS in their official plans. Any subsequent refinements may only occur through a municipal comprehensive review. In February 2021, the Region retained consultants to assist with the implementation of the PAS into the ROP. Regional staff, and the consultant team, reached out to the Envision Durham Municipal Working Group, Conservation Authorities, and Agricultural Advisory Committees, regarding the preferred approach to refine the PAS mapping in Durham. This was followed up with a review process, consisting of a combination of a desktop exercise, and on-the-ground assessment of the Region’s rural area. The Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development’s Report 2022-P-16 (Report 2022-P-16), released in association with the draft Regional Agricultural System (RAS) mapping (see Attachment #1), provides a comprehensive explanation of the methodology that was used by the Region and the consultant team to refine the PAS mapping and delineate the draft RAS for the new ROP. The draft RAS mapping is shown in Attachments #2 to #8 to Report 2022-P-16. Attachments #5 and #7 to Report 2022-P-16 identify 11 assessment units in Pickering for potential inclusion in the draft RAS. These assessment units are the lands in Pickering the Region is proposing for inclusion in the Prime Agricultural Areas designation of the new ROP. The Region is seeking the City’s feedback on those assessment units. Section 2 of this report contains staff’s comments in that regard. Report 2022-P-16 also contains a short discussion on the significance of the current Major Open Space Areas designation in the ROP, which, in addition to the designated Prime Agricultural Areas in the ROP, applies to certain lands within the Region’s rural area. The designated Major Open Space Areas in Durham comprise significant natural heritage and hydrologic features, and rural lands, where agricultural uses as well as non-agricultural uses, such as commercial kennels, and major recreational uses, are permitted. Report 2022-P-16 points out that re-designating these Major Open Space Areas as Prime Agricultural Areas would limit the rural economic development potential of those lands to agricultural practices. Report 2022-P-16 also refers to the feedback received, through the Envision Durham consultation, which stressed the importance of ensuring Major Open Space Areas are retained for parks, major recreational uses (e.g., golf courses), and non-agricultural uses, such as cemeteries. Accordingly, the Region resolved to only change lands with a current designation of Major Open Space Areas to a designation of Prime Agricultural Areas, if no natural heritage features were present, and if the lands were under active cultivation. Staff does not concur with the proposed mapping re-designating the south part of Lot 9, and the southern third of Lot 10, Concession 5 (north of the Fifth Concession Road, between Westney Road and Sideline 8), from Major Open Space Areas to Prime Agricultural Areas, because it is covered by significant woodlands, wetlands, and is uncultivated. - 116 - PLN 40-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Envision Durham – Implementing the Provincial Agricultural System Page 4 A number of other key aspects to point out, in relation to the implementation of the PAS in the new ROP, are the following: •On lands outside the Oak Ridges Moraine, the refined Provincial Agricultural System mapping will be depicted as a “Prime Agricultural Area or System” designation in the ROP, whereas on lands inside the Oak Ridges Moraine, it will remain as an overlay. Furthermore, the new Regional Natural Heritage System will be depicted as an overlay across Durham. The primary difference between a “designation” and an “overlay” is that the policies associated with a “designation” have primacy over policies associated with an “overlay”. •The Region is not proposing a Prime Agricultural Areas or System on lands that are federally owned, or within Seaton, which forms part of Pickering’s Urban System. •Lands designated as Prime Agricultural Areas/System in the ROP will be outside of any future urban boundaries, and the final proposed changes to the draft RAS will reflect the future urban boundary that will come forward in Phase 2 of the Region’s Growth Management Study. •Although the implementation of the Provincial Agricultural System through the new ROP would go hand in hand with the implementation of associated new or revised land use policies, the Region is, at this time, only seeking feedback on the draft RAS mapping. •Although there are a number of proposed additions to the Prime Agricultural Areas in Pickering, the majority of the draft RAS lands are already included in the Prime Agricultural Areas designation in the City’s Official Plan. This was achieved through work undertaken through Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 27 (The Greenbelt and Countryside Amendment approved in December 2017). 2.Staff Comments City staff, through a number of consultation periods during 2017 and 2018, provided preliminary comments to the Ontario Growth Secretariat in response to the proposed Provincial Agricultural System Map. Those comments were repeated in the City’s comments on the Region’s Envision Durham – Agricultural and Rural System Discussion Paper, through Report PLN 13-19. In the first quarter of 2022, City Planning staff, as part of the Envision Durham Municipal Working Group engagement, undertook a review of the Region’s draft RAS comparing it to the Prime Agricultural Areas mapping in the POP, aerial photography, and available development data and approvals, and provided preliminary comments to Regional staff. At that time, the mapping revisions identified by City staff pertained mainly to assessment units where the draft RAS mapping layer protruded into developed properties in rural settlements (where the development limits had been established through previous planning approvals), or undeveloped properties, for which the development limits were also established through recent studies and planning approvals. Based on the comments that were previously submitted by the City staff to the Region, City staff conducted a final review of the latest draft RAS mapping (contained in Attachments #5 and #7 to the Report 2022-P-16), with specific attention to the - 117 - PLN 40-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Envision Durham – Implementing the Provincial Agricultural System Page 5 11 assessment units identified in rural Pickering. As noted before, these assessment units are the areas in Pickering the Region are proposing for inclusion in the Prime Agricultural Areas designation of the new ROP. Staff’s detailed comments with respect to the 11 assessments units in Pickering are contained in Appendix I to this report (see the last column of the comment table). As noted in the comment table, City staff identified a number of concerns (see bold text) that should be investigated and clarified by the Region as part of developing the associated policies framework that will inform the mapping in the new ROP. Additionally, staff are recommending that the following comments, previously provided to the Region through Report PLN 13-19 as the City’s formal comments on the Region’s Agricultural and Rural Discussion Paper, back in May, 2019, be reiterated: The Pickering Official Plan identifies an Exception (E3) Area for a future cemetery use on lands north-east of the Hamlet of Greenwood, between Highway 407 and Highway 7. The lands are located, for the most part, in the “Prime Agricultural Areas” designation in both the Pickering and Regional Official Plans. Through initial discussions with Regional Planning staff and staff from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, it was determined that the exception for a cemetery use on the subject lands could be grandfathered, given its exception status. These lands are strategically situated in relation to Seaton and North East Pickering, and given that the population of Pickering is expected to more than double in the next 30 years, these lands may prove very useful in meeting the future need for burial space. Therefore, staff recommends that the Region recognize the exception for a cemetery use on the lands located northeast of the Hamlet of Greenwood, between Highway 407 and Highway 7, reflected as “E3” on Schedule I of the Land Use Structure in the Pickering Official Plan, by including a policy exception in the new ROP. 3. Conclusion This report and the accompanying appendix provides a synopsis of the Region’s process to implement the Provincial Agricultural System through Envision Durham, the Municipal Comprehensive Review process, and includes staff comments that should be investigated and clarified by the Region as part of finalizing the mapping and associated policies for the new Regional Official Plan.

The Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) designates the lands, in part, as “Reserve” and “Natural Heritage System (NHS) – Primary Designation”. The CPDP distinguishes between a “NHS – Primary Designation” (generally on publicly owned lands), and a “NHS – Overlay Designation” (generally on privately owned lands) within the CPDP area. The Region is proposing to designate the entire Preserve as Prime Agricultural Area with the new Regional NHS as an Overlay on top of the Prime Agricultural Area designation. Staff question whether replacing the CPDP land use designation of “NHS – Primary Designation” with a “Prime Agricultural Area” designation and an NHS Overlay maintains conformity with the CPDP? - 121 - Page 2 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments 97-P (south and southwest of the Hamlet of Green River) Specific Policy Area A Prime Agricultural Area Designation Prime Agricultural Area & Natural Area The lands are located within the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve.

Furthermore, the Pickering Official Plan identifies a number of small wetland features on the lands in assessment unit 100-P, and more significant wetland complexes on the lands within assessment units 101-P and 102-P. There is no planning mechanism currently in place to trigger an environmental impact study in response to an undesirable farm practice. The results of an environmental impact assessment may recommend protection, mitigation, or compensation measures for these wetlands. Although the Conservation Authorities (CAs) offer education and informational programs to the agricultural community, adding policy language in the ROP that may trigger an environmental impact study, could result in better outcomes in cases where farmers wish to remove wetlands on their lands. - 123 - Page 4 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments Staff recommend that the Region consider the inclusion of policy language in the new ROP in relation to significant hydrologic features on Prime Agricultural lands, that require farmers to consult the relevant Conservation Authority (CA) regarding the implications of potentially removing any wetland features on their lands (e.g., possible downstream impacts), and to implement best practices and participate in education programs offered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). 98-P-b (east and southeast of the Hamlet of Greenwood) Major Open Space Prime Agricultural Area Designation Prime Agricultural Area & Natural Area, with a Rural Study Area on parts east of Greenwood Staff agrees in principle with the proposed re-designation from Major Open Space Areas to Prime Agricultural Area in the new ROP, with the exception that the southern part of this assessment unit, located north of Fifth Concession Road (between Westney Road and the Sideline 8) and within the Greenbelt Plan NHS, be retained as Major Open - 124 - Page 5 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments Space, because it is uncultivated and covered by natural heritage features and wetlands, which makes it highly unlikely to be used for agricultural purposes. The proposed re-designation to Prime Agricultural Area does not have any implications for the Rural Study Area east of Greenwood, reflected in the Pickering Official Plan, since the Growth Plan stipulates that hamlets are not locations to which growth should be directed to. 96-P-b (between Hwy 7 & Sixth Concession) Major Open Space Prime Agricultural Area Designation Prime Agricultural Area with a Rural Study Area north of Greenwood Staff agrees in principle with the proposed re-designation from Major Open Space Areas to Prime Agricultural Area in the new ROP. The proposed re-designation to Prime Agricultural Area does not have any implications for the Rural Study Area east of Greenwood, reflected in the Pickering Official Plan, since the Growth Plan stipulates that hamlets are not locations to which growth should be directed to. - 125 - Page 6 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments 99-P-a (south of Highway 7 and west of Lake Ridge Road Major Open Space Prime Agricultural Area Designation Natural Areas (approximately 90% of area), Active Recreational Areas (Hawthorne Valley golf course), and Prime Agricultural Areas. The majority of these lands fall within the Protected Countryside – Natural Heritage System of the Greenbelt Plan. These lands are covered by significant woodlands and wetland complexes, forming part of an east/west wildlife corridor (linking to the Greenwood Conservation Area) along the East Duffins Creek. These features make the central and southern parts of this area highly unlikely for agricultural purposes. Staff recommend that the Region reconsider the re-designation of the lands within this assessment unit from Major Open Space Area to Prime Agricultural Area. Furthermore, as in the case of assessment units 100-P, 101-P and 102-P, Staff is concerned that there is no planning mechanism currently in place to trigger an environmental impact study (that may result in a recommendation to protect, mitigate, or compensate for the loss of wetlands on these lands). If the Region decides to - 126 - Page 7 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments proceed with re-designating these lands to Prime Agricultural Areas, Staff recommend that the Region consider including policy language in the new ROP, that require farmers to consult with the relevant CA and municipality regarding the implications of potentially removing wetlands (e.g., possible downstream impacts), and to implement best practices and participate in education programs offered by OMAFRA. 78-P-a Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) Countryside Area and ORM Natural Linkage Area in part Prime Agricultural Area Overlay ORM Countryside Areas and ORM Natural Linkage Areas in part Staff has no concerns with the proposed Prime Agricultural Area Overlay. There are already lands with the same underlying land use designations in the ORM in both the ROP and the POP with a Prime Agricultural Area overlay – this proposal represent a minor expansion thereof. - 127 - Page 8 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments 79-P-b (ORM) Countryside Area and ORM Natural Linkage Area in part Prime Agricultural Area Overlay ORM Countryside Areas and ORM Natural Linkage Areas in part Staff has no concerns with the proposed Prime Agricultural Area Overlay.

Although the Region’s report points out that the proposed Prime Agricultural Area Overlay on the Oak Ridges Moraine allows for additional flexibility for agricultural sector uses, staff is of the opinion that adding policy language in the ROP that may trigger an environmental impact study, could result in better - 128 - Page 9 Assessment Unit # Current ROP Designation Proposed New ROP Designation or Overlay Current Pickering Official Plan Designation/Overlay Staff Comments outcomes in cases where farmers wish to remove significant natural heritage or hydrologic features within the ORM Natural Core Area. Accordingly, Staff recommend that, if the Region decides to re- designate these lands with a Prime Agricultural Area Overlay, that the Region consider including policy language in the new ROP that discourages farmers from extending farming operations onto lands within the Natural Core of the ORM, and to implement best practices and participate in education programs offered by OMAFRA. - 129 - Attachment #1 to Report PLN 40-22 If this information is required in an accessible format, please contact 1-800-372-1102 ext. 2564 The Regional Municipality of Durham Report To: Planning and Economic Development Committee From: Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development Report:#2022-P-16 Date:June 7, 2022 Subject: Envision Durham – Implementation of the Provincial Agricultural System, File D12-01 Recommendation: Receive for information Report: 1.Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise Committee that draft proposed changes to implement the Provincial Agricultural System mapping in the Regional Official Plan (ROP) are being released for public and agency comment. This map is a key component of Envision Durham, the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) of the ROP. 1.2 The inclusion of the Provincial Agricultural System is required for the new ROP to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), and to conform with provincial plans (the Growth Plan, the Greenbelt Plan and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan). It should be noted that the Agriculture System will apply outside of any future urban boundaries and that the final proposed changes will reflect the urban area boundary that will come forward in Phase 2 of the Growth Management Study. - 130 - Report #2022-P-16 Page 2 of 9 1.3 Following Regional Planning and Economic Development Committee on June 7, 2022, the draft mapping for the Provincial Agricultural System will be posted to the Envision Durham project webpage in the format of an interactive map viewer and are also provided as Attachment #1 to this report. Those wishing to provide input may do so by commenting directly into the online map viewer, emailing EnvisionDurham@durham.ca or mailing the Planning and Economic Development Department. Comments are requested by September 9, 2022. 2. Background 2.1 Durham is implementing the provincial agricultural system through Envision Durham, the Region’s Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) of the Regional Official Plan (ROP). 2.2 The ROP currently designates Prime Agricultural Areas, reflecting rural areas in the Region where agricultural lands and agricultural uses predominate. 2.3 The ROP also includes policies that permit a full range of agricultural, agricultural-related and secondary uses within both the Prime Agricultural Area and Major Open Space Area designations, consistent with the PPS, Greenbelt Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. 3. Existing Provincial Policy Requirements 3.1 Provincial planning policy, plans and legislation requires the implementation of an agricultural system approach that achieves a continuous and connected agricultural system across the Greater Golden Horseshoe. 3.2 The PPS requires that prime agricultural areas be protected for long-term use for agriculture. In addition, the PPS requires planning authorities designate prime agricultural areas in accordance with provincial guidelines and municipalities are encouraged to use an agricultural system approach to maintain and enhance the geographic continuity of the agricultural land base and the functional and economic connections of the agri-food network. 3.3 The PPS encourages planning authorities to use an agricultural system approach to maintain and enhance geographic continuity of the agricultural land base and the functional and economic connections to the agri-food network. The Greenbelt Plan, Growth Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan all go further by requiring municipal official plan conformity with the Provincial Agricultural System, released by the Province in 2018. - 131 - Report #2022-P-16 Page 3 of 9 3.4 To develop the Provincial Agricultural System, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) undertook a Land Evaluation Area Review (LEAR) and identified the following: • areas already designated as Prime Agricultural Areas in approved official plans; • additional areas identified as meeting the definition of Prime Agricultural Areas, subject to municipal review; and • candidate areas that could be Prime Agricultural Areas, also subject to municipal review. 3.5 The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020 provides for the identification and protection of an Agricultural System including a continuous and productive land base, and that Prime Agricultural Areas be designated and protected for long term use for agriculture. 3.6 OMAFRA identified a Provincial Agricultural System across the Greater Golden Horseshoe and released mapping in 2018 that includes the following components: • an agricultural land base, consisting of prime agricultural areas, including speciality crop areas and rural lands that together create a continuous, productive land base for agriculture; and • an agri-food network that includes infrastructure, services and assets, important to the viability of the agri-food network. 3.7 As a supplementary direction, the Growth Plan commits the province to identifying, establishing or updating the Agricultural system. Accordingly, in March 2020 the province released its “Implementation Procedures for the Agricultural System in Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe”, which are intended to help municipalities, farmers and others interpret the agricultural system references in provincial plans for the GGH. 3.8 Upper-tier municipalities may refine provincial mapping of the agricultural land base at the time of initial implementation in their official plans, based on the Implementation Procedures issued by the province. After provincial mapping of the agricultural land base has been implemented in official plans, further refinements may only occur through a municipal comprehensive review. 3.9 The Growth Plan also directs municipalities to ensure that the geographic continuity of the agricultural land base and the functional and economic connections to the agri-food network will be maintained and enhanced. - 132 - Report #2022-P-16 Page 4 of 9 3.10 The Greenbelt Plan directs municipalities to update mapping within the Protected Countryside and upper-tier municipalities to refine and augment official plan mapping to bring prime agricultural areas, including specialty crop areas, and rural lands into conformity with provincial mapping and implementation procedures. 4. Implementing the Provincial Agricultural System Provincial Agricultural System Land Base Mapping 4.1 Durham’s Rural System in the ROP includes all lands outside of the region’s designated Urban Areas. The Rural Area is primarily made up of Prime Agricultural Areas and Major Open Space Areas designations. Prime Agricultural Areas are intended to be used for agriculture and farm-related uses while Major Open Space Areas are intended for environmental conservation and a full range of agricultural uses and subject to specific criteria, major recreational and non-agricultural uses. 4.2 There are differences between the Provincial Agricultural System and the Prime Agricultural Areas designation in the current ROP. Areas currently designated as Major Open Space Areas in the ROP have been identified by the Province as Prime Agricultural Areas, or as Candidate Areas that could either become Prime Agricultural Areas or remain as Major Open Space Areas, depending on the outcome of municipal review. 4.3 According to the Implementation Procedures for the Agricultural System in Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe, municipalities must assess whether to include Candidate Areas as Prime Agricultural Areas. 4.4 In February 2021, the Region retained Planscape Inc. to assist in the review, assessment and approaches to implementing the Provincial Agricultural System into the ROP and to provide input into how the agri-food network should be addressed. 4.5 Regional staff and the consultant team connected with the Envision Durham Area Municipal and Conservation Authority Working Groups, Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee, Clarington Agricultural Advisory Committee and Durham Federation of Agriculture regarding the Region’s initial approach to refine the Provincial Agricultural System. 4.6 The review was a combination of a desktop exercise and on-the-ground assessment of the region’s Rural Area. This work included: • validating Provincial determinations of additional Prime Agricultural Areas; - 133 - Report #2022-P-16 Page 5 of 9 • categorizing candidate areas as either those that should become Prime Agricultural Areas or remain Major Open Space Areas in the ROP; • excluding sites that have the majority of the area occupied by significant woodlands; • prioritizing the existing Major Open Space system by maintaining integrity and connectivity of Major Open Space Areas; • excluding national park sites, the Pickering airport lands, and special policy areas because they are federally regulated or intended for a non-agricultural use; and • excluding sites identified by the area municipalities, where information was provided to justify exclusion from the Prime Agriculture System. 4.7 Portions of the Major Open Space area between Ajax and Whitby has been proposed for redesignation to Prime Agricultural Areas as these larger parcels are contained within the Greenbelt Plan Area. 4.8 Proposed refinements to the Provincial Agricultural System would increase the area of land within the Prime Agricultural Areas designation by 278 hectares, representing an increase of 2.7 per cent. 4.9 The Oak Ridges Moraine Prime Agriculture “overlay” would be increased by 7,753 hectares (an increase of 89.7 per cent). Taken together, the total area of Prime Agricultural System (designation and overlay) would be 121,582 hectares. 4.10 Within the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside designation, identification of lands as Prime Agriculture, results in some ability for establishing new non-agricultural uses, but would not allow small-scale commercial, industrial, institutional and major recreational uses in keeping with the ORMCP. The identification of the Prime Agriculture overlay on lands designated Natural Core Areas and Natural Linkage Areas on the Moraine allows for some additional flexibility for agricultural sector uses, including agriculture-related uses and on-farm diversified uses. 4.11 Attachments 2 through 6 identify proposed changes to the ROP for inclusion into the Prime Agricultural Areas designation, while Attachments 6 and 7 illustrate the assessment units that are proposed to be included in the Prime Agricultural overlay in the Oak Ridges Moraine. 4.12 Agri-food network policies will be released at a later date for consultation through the draft new ROP. Agri-food assets are not proposed to be mapped in the ROP. The agri-food network asset mapping that is maintained by the Economic - 134 - Report #2022-P-16 Page 6 of 9 Development Division is also available through the provincial ConnectON system. This mapping is updated regularly and is more nimble than through a schedule in the official plan. 5. Major Open Space Areas Designation 5.1 The Region’s existing Major Open Space Areas designation constitutes an important element of the Regional Structure, serving a dual function. Not only does it comprise significant natural heritage and hydrologic features, where the intent is conservation and environmental protection, but also includes rural-type lands where a full range of agricultural uses, non-agricultural and major recreational uses may be permitted, subject to site specific evaluation and criteria. 5.2 The Major Open Space designation provides flexibility for some non-farming uses compared to the Prime Agriculture designation. It allows for a greater variety of rural economic uses, including agri-business, commercial kennels and landscaping industrial uses, as well as major recreational uses. When lands are designated Prime Agriculture, the rural economic development potential is limited to agricultural practices. 5.3 Critical feedback heard in response to the Environment and Greenlands and Agricultural and Rural Discussion Papers was the importance of ensuring sufficient Major Open Space Areas are retained for parks, major recreational and non-agricultural uses, such as cemeteries. 5.4 Regional staff’s approach to implementing the Provincial Agricultural System, was to only make a change from Major Open Space Area to the Prime Agriculture designation if no natural heritage features were present, and if the lands were under active cultivation. 6. Public Consultation Process 6.1 This report, the draft Regional Agricultural System mapping, including instructions on how to use the map viewer, as well as a series of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) regarding Natural Heritage Systems, will be posted to the project webpage at www.durham.ca/EnvisionDurham for public and agency review. 6.2 Interested parties are encouraged to provide input directly within the online map viewer. Comments may also be submitted to EnvisionDurham@durham.ca or by mail and are requested by September 9, 2022. Information on the release of the draft Regional Agricultural System will be announced by way of: - 135 - Report #2022-P-16 Page 7 of 9 a. News release and public service announcement;b. Social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn;c.

That Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 10/21, submitted by 1023343 Ontario Inc., to rezone a portion of the property from ORM-R5 to ORM-C2 and to establish a site-specific exception to permit a detached dwelling on the lot, be approved, and that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 41-22, be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment, following the applicant entering into an encroachment agreement, or other agreements as may be required by the Region of Durham or City of Pickering, for the existing deck. Executive Summary: The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Old Brock Road and Wellington Street, within the Hamlet of Claremont (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The applicant initially requested to rezone the portion of the property currently zoned ORM-C2 to ORM-R5 to facilitate a future severance of the property to create a total of two residential lots fronting Old Brock Road (see Original Site Plan, Attachment #3). Following the Statutory Public Meeting on January 10, 2022, the applicant revised the proposal to address concerns raised by the Region of Durham Health Department pertaining to private servicing. As such, the applicant has revised their proposal to no longer pursue a future severance of the lot. However, the applicant is now requesting to rezone the portion of the property currently zoned OMR-R5 to ORM-C2. The applicant is also requesting a site-specific exception to permit a detached dwelling, in addition to the various commercial uses permitted under the ORM-C2 Zone. The existing detached dwelling on the lot is proposed to remain (see Revised Site Plan, Attachment #4). Staff support the revised proposal as it legalizes an existing dwelling unit, while still retaining the commercial uses that are already permitted under the by-law. Staff recommends that Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 10/21 be approved, and that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment, as set out in Appendix I to this report, be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment, following the applicant entering into an encroachment agreement, or other such agreements as may be required by the Region of Durham (Region) or the City of Pickering (City), for the existing deck. - 146 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 2 Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. 1. Background 1.1 Property Description The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Old Brock Road and Wellington Street, within the Hamlet of Claremont (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The site has an area of approximately 0.27 of a hectare with approximately 47 metres of frontage along Old Brock Road and 57 metres of frontage along Wellington Street. There is a two-storey detached dwelling located at the northwest corner of the property. In 2019, the owner at that time constructed an attached deck that wraps around the west, south and east walls of the dwelling. A small portion of the deck is located beyond the front property line and encroaches onto the Old Brock Road right-of-way. The surrounding land uses are as follows (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #2): North: Immediately to the north are one and two-storey detached dwellings fronting Old Brock Road and Central Street. At the southeast corner of Central Street and Old Brock Road is a two-storey mixed-use building with commercial uses at grade (including a convenience store, LCBO and Beer Store) and residential units on the second floor. South: To the south, across Wellington Street, are two-storey detached dwellings fronting onto Old Brock Road and Wellington Street. Further south is a commercial property currently occupied by the Claremont Masonic Hall. West & To the west, across Old Brock Road, and immediately to the east are one East: and two-storey detached dwellings. 2. Applicant’s Proposal The subject property is currently zoned “ORM-C2 – Oak Ridges Moraine – General Commercial Zone” and “ORM-R5 – Oak Ridges Moraine – Hamlet Residential Five Zone” within Zoning By-law 3037, as amended by By-law 6640/06 (see Figure 1 below). Permitted uses within the ORM-C2 Zone include various commercial uses (such as a bake shop, office, clinic, day nursery, and financial institution), and an accessory dwelling unit. Permitted uses within the ORM-R5 Zone include a detached dwelling and a home-based business. - 147 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 3 Figure 1: Current Zoning Map The applicant initially requested to rezone the portion of the property currently zoned ORM-C2 to ORM-R5 to facilitate a future severance of the property to create a total of two residential lots fronting Old Brock Road (see Original Site Plan, Attachment #3). The existing two-storey detached dwelling was proposed to remain on the north lot, and a new detached dwelling was proposed on the south lot. Subsequent to the Statutory Public Meeting, the City received comments from the Region of Durham in objection to the proposed severance. The Regional Health Department advised that the creation of an additional lot did not meet the requirements of the Region’s lot sizing policy. The proposed sewage system areas for each lot were undersized, and the sewage system areas did not meet the minimum clearance requirements to the proposed wells. As such, the applicant has revised their proposal to no longer pursue a future severance of the lot. However, the applicant is now requesting to rezone the portion of the property currently zoned OMR-R5 to ORM-C2. The applicant is also requesting a site-specific exception to permit a detached dwelling, in addition to the various commercial uses permitted under the ORM-C2 Zone. This will allow future commercial uses, as well as permit the existing detached dwelling that is proposed to remain on the lot (see Revised Site Plan, Attachment #4). The lot is to be serviced by a new septic system and the existing well. The existing driveway fronting Old Brock Road is proposed to remain. - 148 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 4 In December of 2021, the applicant submitted a land division application to facilitate the severance, prior to receiving comments from the Region of Durham. At the recommendation of staff, the Region of Durham Land Division Committee tabled the application to allow Council to make a decision on the associated rezoning application. On June 20, 2022, the applicant withdrew the land division application with the Region. 3. Comments Received 3.1 January 10, 2022 Electronic Statutory Public Meeting An electronic Statutory Public Meeting was held on January 10, 2022. No residents spoke at the meeting, and the City has not received written comments from the public. Key questions/comments raised by members of the Planning & Development Committee at the electronic Statutory Public Meeting related to previous uses on the site; changes to the existing detached dwelling; the condition of the septic system; and traffic on Old Brock Road. Section 4.6 of this report provides a comprehensive list of comments/questions raised by Committee members, and detailed responses to these questions. 3.2 Agency Comments 3.2.1 Region of Durham • the Regional Health Department has no objections to the revised application; • the proposed development does not present any significant impacts from a transportation planning, Durham Region Transit, and Regional Works operational perspective; and • the proposal conforms to the Region of Durham Official Plan. 3.2.2 Enbridge Gas Inc. • Enbridge Gas Inc. does not object to the proposed application, however, has reserved the right to amend their development conditions. 3.3 City Department Comments 3.3.1 Engineering Services • no objections; and • should an applicant propose to redevelop the property in the future for commercial uses, the applicant will be required to provide a road dedication and protection of the existing trees. 3.3.2 Sustainability • no objections; and • given that there is no new development or redevelopment being proposed apart from adding the existing use to the list of permitted uses for the specific zone category, Sustainability has no further comments on this application. - 149 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 5 4. Planning Analysis 4.1 The revised proposal conforms to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (2017) designates the subject property as “Countryside Area – Rural Settlement”. Residential development and minor infilling are permitted within Rural Settlements. The Plan also states that the character of Rural Settlements must be maintained. The revised proposal to permit a detached dwelling on the subject property is in keeping with the surrounding built form, which consists primarily of detached dwellings. The revised proposal conforms to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. 4.2 The revised proposal conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan (DROP) designates the subject property as “Oak Ridges Moraine Areas – Hamlet”. The DROP states that Hamlets shall consist predominately of single-detached housing. In considering Hamlet development, the following principles should serve to guide the preservation, cultural attributes, and historic heritage of the community: • simplicity of form; • predominance of residential units; • larger lots that accommodate private services; • almost exclusively single detached dwelling form; • few facilities; and • views and vistas of the countryside. To ensure the subject property can accommodate private servicing, the applicant is no longer proposing to sever the lot. The revised proposal, to permit a detached dwelling on the property, conforms to the Durham Regional Official Plan. 4.3 The revised proposal conforms to the Pickering Official Plan The Pickering Official Plan designates the subject property as “Rural Settlements – Oak Ridges Moraine Rural Hamlets”. This designation permits a variety of uses, including residential, employment, commercial, community, cultural, and recreational. The Claremont Settlement Map (Schedule IV – 10 to the City’s Official Plan) designates the subject lands as “Hamlet Commercial”. Permissible uses within the Hamlet Commercial designation include retail, office, business, personal services and employment uses, residential uses, home occupations and community, cultural and recreational uses, including community gardens and farmers’ markets. In addition, the Claremont Settlement policies encourage retail, shopping, office, and other business uses to locate in the hamlet commercial area surrounding Central Street and Brock Road. - 150 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 6 The applicant is proposing to permit a detached dwelling on the property, in addition to the various commercial uses that are already permitted. Residential and commercial uses are permitted within both the “Oak Ridges Moraine Rural Hamlets” and “Hamlet Commercial” designations. The proposal will legalize the existing detached dwelling on the lot, while allowing for future opportunities for commercial uses on the site. The revised proposal conforms to the Pickering Official Plan. 4.4 The siting of the existing building is considered to be legal non-conforming Based on records from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), the building that currently exists on the property was constructed in 1960, which predates the passing of Zoning By-law 3037 on August 3, 1965. However, there are no records indicating that the building has been used solely for residential purposes since that time. As such, the current residential use of the building cannot be granted legal non-conforming status, and therefore an amendment to the zoning by-law is required to permit a detached dwelling. The existing building complies with all zone requirements in the by-law, except the front yard setback. The building is setback 1.1 metres from the front lot line, whereas the by-law requires a minimum front yard setback of 9.0 metres. Given the building was constructed on the property prior to the passing of the by-law, the existing front yard setback condition is granted legal non-conforming status. As such, the draft Zoning By-law Amendment (refer to Appendix I) does not propose to recognize the reduced front yard setback. Accordingly, if the existing dwelling is demolished in the future, any new structure on the property must comply with all existing zone requirements in the by-law. 4.5 An encroachment agreement is required for the existing deck In 2019, the owner at that time constructed an attached deck that wraps around the west, south, and east walls of the dwelling. A small portion of the deck is located beyond the front property line and encroaches onto the Old Brock Road right-of-way (see Figure 2 below). - 151 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 7 Figure 2: Portion of deck encroaching onto the Old Brock Road right-of-way Staff are recommending that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment, as set out in Appendix I to this report, be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment, following the applicant entering into such agreements as may be required by the Region or the City, for the deck encroachment. 4.6 Response to key questions/comments raised by Committee members during the statutory public meeting Below is a summary of key questions/comments raised by Committee members during the statutory public meeting, and the applicant or staff’s response. Question Response Committee members questioned if the subject property contained a commercial use in the past. Based on records from MPAC, the building that currently exists on the property was constructed in 1960. However, there are no records indicating that the building has been used solely for residential purposes since that time. Committee members questioned if the existing building on the subject property would be modified. In 2019, the owner at the time applied for a Building Permit application for interior alterations to the existing building on the property. The permit application is on hold, as a detached dwelling is not currently permitted on the lot. - 152 - PLN 41-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: 1023343 Ontario Inc. Page 8 Question Response Committee members expressed concerns related to the existing septic system on the subject property and the need to ensure the septic is in proper working order. The applicant has indicated that a new septic system will be installed, which will require obtaining permits from the Regional Health Department. Committee members expressed concerns related to the impact a new driveway may have on the existing traffic operation on Old Brock Road. The existing driveway fronting Old Brock Road is to remain and no additional driveways are proposed. 5. Zoning By-law Amendment to be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to rezone a portion of the property from ORM-R5 to ORM-C2, and to establish a site-specific exception to permit a detached dwelling on the lot, in addition to the various commercial uses. Staff supports the proposal, and recommends that the draft Zoning By-law Amendment, attached as Appendix I to this report, be finalized and brought before Council for enactment, following the applicant entering into such agreements as may be required by the Region or the City, to address the existing deck encroachment. 6. Applicant’s Comments The applicant has been advised of and concurs with the recommendations of this report.

Executive Summary: The lands that are the subject of this Report are owned by the Estate of Norman Keith Ward. The lands are located at 1930 Ninth Concession Road (see Location Map, and Air Photo Map, Attachments #1 and #2). This property is legally described as Part of Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424. Plan 424 was registered in 1950 (see Attachment #3). Lot 7 currently supports a detached dwelling and a garage, while Lot 6 is vacant. This Report responds to a request from Mr. Kelly Ward, Executor of the Estate, to have the City of Pickering amend municipal By-law 2091 (see Attachment #6). This By-law currently prevents the Estate’s Executor from selling the two lots that form part of the Estate independently from each other. In support of this request, the Estate Executor retained John McDermott, of McDermott & Associates Limited, a land use planner, to provide a planning rationale for this request. Several meetings were held between Mr. Kelly Ward, Mr. Ward’s solicitor, Mr. McDermott, the City Solicitor and City Staff. Subsequently, Mr. McDermott submitted a planning rationale dated August 22, 2022 (see Planning Rationale Letter, Attachment #5). - 163 - PLN 43-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Request to Amend By-law 2091 re Part Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424 Page 2 Staff have reviewed the planning rationale and generally concur with its findings and conclusions. Staff concurs that the requested amendment to By-law 2091 represents good planning. Additionally, staff note that under the provisions of Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, and the City’s Site Plan Control By-law, development of Lot 6 or further development of Lot 7, for a detached dwelling or other structure, may require the approval of plans and drawings under section 41 (4) and (5) of the Planning Act, if the development is proposed within 120 metres of any key natural heritage feature or hydrologically sensitive feature. Staff recommends that Council support the request and that the draft amending By-law, provided as Appendix I to this Report, be finalized and forwarded Council for enactment. Financial Implications: No significant financial implications would result from the approval of this request. Discussion: 1. Applicant’s Request John McDermott, of McDermott & Associates Limited, is a land use planner representing Mr. Kelly Ward, who is the Executor of the Estate of Norman Keith Ward. The Ward Estate includes lands at 1930 Ninth Concession Road (see Location Map, and Air Photo Map, Attachments #1 and #2). This property is legally described as Part of Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424. Plan 424 was registered in 1950 (see Attachment #3). In 1955, the then Township of Pickering adopted By-law 2091 (the “Deeming By-law”), designating all of the Township as an area of subdivision control under the Planning Act. This By-law also had the effect of deeming the lots in Plan 424 (and numerous other plans) not to be within a registered plan of subdivision, for the purpose of selling the lots. It is not clear how Lots 6 and 7 became available to sell from the other Lots in Plan 424 (see Current Parcel Fabric Overlay on Plan 424, Attachment #4). However, in each case that title changed hands, Lots 6 and 7 were purchased by the same owner, and functioned as a single parcel of land. Lot 7 currently supports a dwelling, and a detached garage. Lot 6 currently functions as an amenity area for Lot 7, and is not used for agricultural purposes. The Estate Executor is requesting that municipal By-law 2091 be amended to delete reference to Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424, such that each can be sold separately, and each support a dwelling. 2. Submitted Planning Rationale In support of the request, Mr. McDermott has submitted a planning rationale for supporting the amendment to By-law 2091 (see Planning Rationale Letter, Attachment #5). The Rationale addresses the following: - 164 - PLN 43-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Request to Amend By-law 2091 re Part Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424 Page 3 •a description and existing use of the subject lands; •the effect of By-law 2091; •the contextual setting; •the current zoning under By-law 3037 as amended; and •concluding remarks. 3.Staff Comments Staff have reviewed the request, and submitted rationale, and generally concur with the comments and conclusions. The lots were legally created in 1950, and, according to the applicant’s solicitor, have not merged on-title. In 1992, the City amended Zoning By-law 3037 to recognize a cluster of smaller, rural residential lots at the northeast corner of the Ninth Concession Road and Sideline 16. This zoning included Lots 1 to 8, and Part of Lot 16, Plan 424. This “CLR4” – Cluster Residential zoning provided for a reduced minimum lot area (4,000 square metres) and a reduced minimum lot frontage (35 metres) compared to the minimum lot area and lot frontage for the “A” – Rural Agricultural Zoning. The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) indicates that nothing in the ORMCP prevents the use, erection, or location of a single dwelling if the use, erection, or location would have been permitted by the applicable zoning By-law, and the applicant demonstrates to the extent possible that the use, erection, and location will not adversely affect the integrity of the ORMCP. The zoning of Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424, permitted residential development prior to the enactment of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act on November 15, 2001. The City of Pickering’s Oak Ridges Moraine Conformity Zoning By-law 6640/09 (the ‘ORMC By-law’) established a separate agricultural zone (“ORM-A-3”) to recognize the Cluster Residential zoning. Lot 6 has a frontage of 37.1 metres and a lot area approximately 5,900 square metres. Lot 7 has a frontage of 33.6 metres and a lot area of approximately 5,370 square metres. However, if the Deeming By-law is amended, the lots would be considered existing lots of record. As set out in section 5.35 of By-law 3037, as amended by the ORMC By-law, lots that were legally created prior to the passing of the By-law may be used, and a building or structure may be constructed, altered, or used on a lot having a lesser lot area and/or a lesser lot frontage than required by this By-law. Thus, Lot 6 would be able to obtain a building permit. Should Council amend the Deeming By-law, as requested, the development of Lot 6, or further development of Lot 7, may be subject to site plan approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. The City’s Site Plan Control By-law indicates that approval of plans and drawings under section 41 (4) and (5) of the Planning Act shall be required if the development is proposed within 120 metres of any key natural heritage feature of hydrologically sensitive feature. - 165 - PLN 43-22 September 6, 2022 Subject: Request to Amend By-law 2091 re Part Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424 Page 4 While the City’s Official Plan, Schedule IIIB, does identify Significant Woodlands on Lot 6, they appear to be plantings along the outer property boundary and for privacy screening. The first step to determining if Site Plan Approval is required would be to have a qualified expert undertake an examination of the vegetation on site to determine if it meets the definition of Significant Woodland under ORMCP. A notation to this effect will be included on the City’s property data system. 4.Conclusion It is recommended that Council amend By-law 2091 to delete Lots 6 and 7, Plan 424, from Deeming By-law 2091, and that draft amending By-law provided as Appendix I to this Report be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment.
