Statutory Public Meetings 1 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Councillor McLean, Chair, gave an outline of the requirements for a Statutory Public Meeting under the Planning Act. He outlined the notification process procedures and also noted that if a person or public body does not make oral or written submissions to the City before the By-law is passed, that person or public body are not entitled to appeal the decision of City Council to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), and may not be entitled to be added as a party to the hearing unless, in the opinion of LPAT, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, appeared before the Committee to act as facilitator for the Statutory Public Meeting portion of the meeting, explaining the process for discussion purposes as well as the order of speakers. 3.1 Information Report No. 05-20 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 04/19 R. Taghipour Lot 5, Plan 316 (1964 Royal Road) A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Tanjot Bal, Planner II, provided the Committee with an overview of the Zoning By- law Amendment Application A 04/19. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Bal outlined the applicant's proposal, noting that the applicant is proposing to rezone the subject lands to a site specific zone category to permit a three-storey mixed-use building and provided an overview of public, agency, and Department comments received to date. Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, noted that the City Development Department had received written comments from William and Elaine Holman, and a petition from residents opposing this application. Both items were circulated to Members of the Committee prior to the meeting. Fadia Pahlawan, ArchiFad Architecture & Interior Design Inc., joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Ms. Pahlawan noted that Alexander Fleming, C.F. Crozier & Associates, and Elmira Zarrabi, EzedArchitects, were also present via audio connection to answer questions if required. Ms. Pahlawan provided a brief overview of the application, noting that the proposed three-storey mixed-use building would be accessible, rental units would accommodate two generation families, and the development would provide affordable rental options for Pickering. She stated that the design is consistent with the surrounding land uses, and that this project conforms with the Official Plan and meets the requirements of the City's Affordable Housing Strategy. 2 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Robert A. Martindale, Martindale Planning Services, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Martindale noted that the lands are designated as urban living area, the application is consistent with these uses, and that the Region of Durham had advised that this proposal conforms to the Official Plan. He noted that the area surrounding Royal Road has experienced a high degree of development and change over the years, and that this is an evolving community and many low density homes are being replaced by commercial uses or high density homes. He further noted that Royal Road is located near the busy Kingston Road commercial corridor. Mr. Martindale commented that the City is planning to enact a number of policies and guidelines that would encourage new development and maintain and enhance the original community, and that as this proposal was originally submitted in 2017, it should not be subject to policies that have not been yet finalized. He concluded that the applicant recognizes that details will need to be addressed through the site plan process. William Holman, 1966 Royal Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Holman stated he has lived in the area since 1966, and noted that he has seen many changes over the years including new housing, subdivisions, and plazas. He noted concerns with the application in that the large building will be situated 4 feet from the property line, and the height of the building will negatively affect his home. He expressed further concerns regarding an increase in parking needs, and questioned whether there were provisions for catch basins on the property noting the amount of concrete and asphalt as it pertains to rainfall water runoff. Mr. Holman noted that the application to change from residential uses is unnecessary in this area as there are many empty commercial plazas nearby. John Roberts, 1995 Royal Road, Unit 203, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing Durham Condominium Corporation (DCC). He noted that he has been approached by many residents in the Condominium that are unhappy with this application, noting concerns with increased traffic, lack of parking, and negative impacts on real estate values. Mr. Roberts stated that the DCC works diligently to enhance property values, and that they understand that the street is changing, but that having a mixed use plaza will be detrimental for the residents. Alan Jeffs, 1995 Royal Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Jeffs noted that he had submitted a petition on behalf of 65 local residents opposing this application, and that the petition included the signatures of the owners of the three properties that abut the proposed development. He expressed concerns relating to the application being precedent setting to the neighbourhood, as it is not compatible. He stated that the application lacks compliance with the 3 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Official Plan and that it does not conform with zoning requirements. Mr. Jeffs noted additional concerns including the negative impact on property values, a preposterous driveway and onsite parking design, which proposes to use a convex mirror across a two lane driveway, and that on street parking should not serve as a main parking option for this development. He further noted that the proposed development will exacerbate traffic and safety issues that are already present in this area, particularly on Kingston Road and requested that Members of the Committee examine all facets of this precedent setting proposal for Royal Road and refuse the application. Steve Gilchrist, 1995 Royal Road, Unit 155, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Gilchrist expressed concerns regarding the applicant's comment that the application is precedent setting, and that the proposed rezoning is at odds with best practices and existing By-laws and Official Plans that are currently in place. He noted that the limited commercial uses for the property are exclusively related to farm or agricultural uses, and intended for rural areas, which Royal Road is not. He further noted that new homes that had recently been built on Royal Road, had been built to conform with the area and existing By-laws. Mr. Gilchrist continued, expressing concerns relating to traffic and safety issues, parking, the proposed height of the building being inconsistent with other properties on the street, and the connection with Kingston Road, which is the busiest road in the City of Pickering. Additional concerns included signage, with Mr. Gilchrist noting that any commercial signage would exacerbate the current quiet, residential nature of this street and would reduce property values for surrounding homeowners. He further noted that across the street from the proposed development is a commercial property that has had empty storefronts for months with ample parking and that there were several other commercial properties in similar situations in the area negating the need for this development. Devan Shan, 1968 Royal Road, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection to express his concerns with the application. Mr. Shan noted that the area is already dealing with numerous issues from the commercial properties in the area, including drinking, littering and vandalism. He expressed concern that if there are more commercial plazas, that this area would become overcrowded and that there would be more issues with speeding and drivers doing U-turns on his street and driveway. There were no further delegations from the public. A question and answer period ensued between Members of Committee, City Staff, Fadia Pahlawan, and Alexander Fleming regarding: • the particulars of the proposed commercial signage on the property; 4 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean • the location and process for garbage storage and pick up; • parking, and whether parking would occur in the rear of the building or on the street; and, • whether the applicant had conceptual images of the proposed development in relation to the current residential neighbourhood as it pertains to community character. Catherine Rose, Chief Planner, responded to questions from Members of Committee regarding whether the application should be bound by the current Infill and Replacement Housing in Established Neighbourhoods Study as this application was received prior to the implementation of this policy. Ms. Rose noted that although the application will not be bound by the current policy, there are existing policies in the City's Official Plan that require consistent developments in this distinct area and these would be addressed when the recommendation report is brought back to the Committee. 3.2 Information Report No. 06-20 Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-004/P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/19 Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP -2019-04 Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP -2019-05 Katanna Oklahoma LP Part of Lot 28, Broken Front Concession Range 3, Now Part of Part 1, 40R-2401 (755 Oklahoma Drive) A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Cody Morrison, Planner II, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-004/P, Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 14/19, Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP -2019-04, and Draft Plan of Condominium Application CP -2019-05. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Morrison outlined the applicant's proposal and property area, noting that the lands are currently occupied by a place of worship and a daycare, which will be demolished. He noted that the residential block will include 27 townhouse units, 3 stories in height, and that an amendment to the City's Official Plan would be required to facilitate the proposal as the current designation only provides for up to 30 units per net hectare and this application proposes 50 units per net hectare. Mr. Morrison noted that in January 2020, an open house was held and 30 residents attended and provided comments. Bryce Jordan, GHD, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Jordan noted that he would address the three main 5 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean issues that are typically present with infill applications, being traffic concerns, height of proposed buildings, and onsite parking. Mr. Jordan noted that the site is not currently vacant, and that there is traffic generated by these businesses which is comparable to the amount of traffic that would be generated by the proposal. He addressed the concerns of the height of the proposed buildings by referencing cross section drawings that had been provided to Members of Committee and City Development prior to the meeting, demonstrating that the profile is compatible to existing developments in the area. Mr. Jordan further noted that the parking proposal is for 2 spaces per unit, and 1 visitor space for every 4 units, which is in line with City standards for on-site parking. Lew Emanuel, a Pickering resident, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Emanuel expressed concerns regarding traffic, noting that the current businesses at this location typically only generate traffic on weekends and in the morning, not during rush hour. In addition, he noted that when church was in session, the parking lot was overwhelmed and cars had to park on the street, which demonstrates that there is already insufficient parking in the area. Mr. Emanuel noted that he is not opposed to development but is concerned about the number of homes being proposed. Paul White, 507 Crestview Road, withdrew his delegation prior to the meeting and did not appear before the Committee. Andy Barron, 759 Eyer Drive, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection. Mr. Barron noted that he shared the previous delegations concerns and noted additional concerns regarding the applicants request to double the density, noting that this would increase traffic and parking issues in the area. Mr. Barron expressed further concerns with where the parkette would be located on the site and suggested that it be enclosed by a fence. There were no further delegations from the public. Members of Committee requested that the applicant provide information to City Staff on how much traffic was generated by the previous property owners, and the townhomes to the east of the subject property, on Oklahoma Drive, for traffic comparison purposes. 3.3 Information Report No. 07-20 Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-005/P Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 15/19 Alireza Adjedani Lots 25 and 25, Plan 492 (1854 and 1858 Liverpool Road) 6 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application. Elizabeth Martelluzzi, Planner II, Heritage, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of Official Plan Amendment OPA 19-005/P and Zoning By- law Amendment Application A 15/19. Through the aid of a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Martelluzzi provided an overview of the applicant's proposal and an overview of the subject lands and surrounding land uses. Ms. Martelluzzi noted that the applicant has requested that the property at 1858 Liverpool Road be included in the City Centre designation. She outlined the site-specific amendments that are being requested, and provided an overview of public, agency, and Department comments received to date. Grant Morris, Grant Morris Associates Ltd., joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Morris noted that Emilio DeLeon Joseph Doran, Trans -Plan, were also present via audio connection to answer questions if required. Mr. Morris noted that this application is a good choice for the City of Pickering as the GTA must now accommodate new growth through redevelopment and increased density in urban and rural areas while making good use of existing infrastructure noting the forecasted population increases over the next number of years. He highlighted the location of Liverpool Road, being within the City Centre, which was fast becoming a vibrant commercial and residential area. Mr. Morris noted the Durham Region had mandated a coordinated traffic light at Liverpool and Finch which would be on his client's property which would require changes to the Liverpool proposal and traffic studies. He continued by stating that the development is seeking to build 98-116 units, some of which would be in the affordable range, with commercial space on ground floor, highlighting the economic benefits to the City and the Region. Mr. Morris further noted that the applicant would be donating $500,000 as a community contribution towards the proposed Pickering Arts Centre. Melanie Hare, Urban Strategies, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, on behalf of Altona Group, owner of 1294 Kingston Road and 1848- 1852 Liverpool Road. Ms. Hare noted that the Altona Group had submitted a rezoning application in 2019 and have considered the input received and will be re -submitting the refined application shortly. She stated that the Altona Group application is supportive of Provincial, Regional and Official Plan policies that support increased densities, intensification, and is an appropriate area for growth in the City Centre and also aligns with transit and other infrastructure investments. Ms. Hare noted that the Altona Group Development Team have been working with City and Regional Staff, as part of the comprehensive planning of the Liverpool Corridor. Ms. Hare asked the Committee to consider coordinating access to 7 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean Liverpool Road through a shared signalized intersection, aligning vehicular plans for shared site access across intersections, requirement of building setbacks to maintain building separation, integrating appropriate transition from the west to Glendale Drive, and ensuring that transportation improvements, infrastructure and servicing are coordinated to allow for cost sharing and implementation in a timely manner. There were no further delegations from the public. A brief question and answer period ensued regarding the community benefit donation proposed by the applicant, and whether the need for affordable housing had been discussed with the applicant. 3.4 Information Report No. 08-20 Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 03/20 Pickering Developments Inc. Durham Live North of Bayly Street, west of Church Street Part Lots 15 & 16, Concession 1 A statutory public meeting was held under the Planning Act, for the purpose of informing the public with respect to the above -noted application.

Mr. Pym provided an overview of agency and Department comments received to date and outlined next steps. Don Given, Malone Given Parsons, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing the applicant. Mr. Given stressed the urgency of expediting the approval process, noting that the applicant would like the movie studio to proceed and noted there were users ready to occupy that space. Mr. Given noted that there were numerous studies conducted on the property over several years to ensure the integrity of the wetlands were protected, and that conservation authorities had reviewed the work and indicated they have no objection to the proposal. 8 Cty oh DICKERING Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes June 15, 2020 Electronic Meeting — 7:00 pm Chair: Councillor McLean David McKay, MHBC Planning, Urban Design & Landscape Architecture, joined the electronic meeting via audio connection, representing GFL Environmental Inc. Mr. McKay noted that he had provided detailed comments to City Development and the Committee regarding their concerns with this application. He noted that his client, GFL, is very concerned with the compatibility of this application on their existing property, as this proposal extends the Major Tourist Destination zone closer to GFL's property, and that this will require detailed mitigation measures due to noise, vibration, dust, and odour. Mr. McKay stated that his client looks forward to working with the applicant to address these concerns. There were no further delegations from the public. 4.
