2.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL 2.1 EXISTING SITE The overall PTC site currently contains the existing shopping centre and associated surface parking. The site also includes restaurants in the northeast and northwest corners of the site, and an office building in the south west corner of the site. The Phase 1 West lands are predominantly utilized as surface parking, an existing retail building is partially on southern most portion of the Phase 1 West lands and extends out of Phase 1. Existing vehicular site access is taken from driveways connecting the site to surrounding Road system, (i.e. Glenanna Road, Kingston Road and Pickering Parkway). A system of internal drive aisles connects all of the surface parking within the site. A pedestrian bridge connects the site to the Pickering GO Transit Station located on the south side of Highway 401 providing excellent access to regional transit.

2.2 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The proposed Phase 1 West Lands development consist of three buildings encompassing a variety of uses including performance theater, public library, community space and residential uses. Community Space / Residential A total of 5,853 square metres of community space is provided within the ground floor and second level of the proposed building located in the south east corner of Phase 1 West lands. A total of 605 residential units are proposed in the upper levels of the building on top of the community centre. Performance Theater A 3,475 square metre performance theater with approximately 600 seat capacity is proposed in the building located north east corner of Phase 1 West lands. Public Library A 3,988 square metre GFA public library is proposed within the building located in the south west corner of the proposed Phase 1 West development.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 5

2.3 SITE ACCESS The vehicular, loading and bicycle access arrangements for the proposed Phase 1 West development lands will generally remain unchanged and use the existing access arrangements of the existing Pickering Town Centre; with the exception of the proposed closure of the private driveway onto Glenanna Road located across from The Esplanade South which is proposed to be closed. A new private driveway is proposed approximately 75 metres south of the existing The Esplanade South driveway that will be design to look and feel like a public road and will provide access to the Phase 1 buildings as well as the rest of the Shopping Centre.

2.4 VEHICLE PARKING A total of 933 parking spaces are provided in a 3 level underground parking garage to serve the residential and non-residential needs of the proposed site. Of the total 933 parking spaces, a total of 350 spaces are proposed to serve the non-residential uses on the site. The non-residential parking is provided on the first parking level (i.e. P1 level) of the underground parking garage. The remaining 583 parking spaces are proposed serve the residents and resident visitors on the site and are provided on the second (i.e. P2 level) to final parking levels (i.e. P3 level) of the underground parking garage. Resident visitor parking is provided on the P2 level of the underground parking garage

2.5 LOADING Loading access is provided from the internal private road network to each building. Dedicated loading facilities are provided for the Community space and residential buildings, as well as for the performance venue. There is a future provision for a lay-by located on the private road network on the east side of the proposed library to accommodate loading for the library.

2.6 BICYCLE PARKING A total of 17 non-resident bicycle parking spaces are provided on ground floor of the development. A total of 305 resident bicycle parking spaces are provided on the P1 and P3 levels of the underground parking garage.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 6

3.0 TRANSPORTATION CONTEXT The subject site is located in the City of Pickering, central to the Pickering City Centre area. It is within close proximity to two Highway 401 interchanges and within walking distance of the Pickering GO Station and Pickering City Hall, and encompasses amenities within the existing Pickering Town Shopping Centre. As such, the site is well-situated from a road, transit and pedestrian network perspective. The following sections provide additional context information regarding the site’s local transit and road networks.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 9

3.1.1 Highway 401 Corridor The Highway 401 corridor is located immediately south of the site. The highway transitions in the vicinity of the Brock Road interchange between a generally 12-lane express/collector arrangements to the west of Brock Road, to a 10-lane divided freeway to the east of the site area. The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) has reinitiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preliminary Design Study for the section of Highway 401 between Brock Road and Courtice Road in Clarington. The study considers the 12-lane express/collector section being extended eastwards to Lakeridge Road, where it will connect to the Highway 412. The study is following the approved planning process for a Group 'B' project under the MTO Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000).

3.1.2 Regional Road Network The Region of Durham road network comprises arterial roads in three classifications:

A. Type ‘A’ arterials are the highest order Durham roads, and are intended primarily for the movement of traffic as opposed to providing access to property. They typically carry the highest traffic volumes, well in excess of 10,000 vehicles daily. They also have the most stringent intersection spacing criteria; 700-metre spacing on north/south roads and 300-metre or 500-metre spacing on east/west roads. In general, on-street parking is prohibited on arterial roads. There are two Type ‘A’ arterials in the vicinity of the site:

• Bayly Street is a 4-lane, urban section road in the general vicinity of the site, with additional

turn lanes provided at major intersections, and some minor intersections.

• Brock Road (north of Bayly Street) is a 4-lane, urban section road in the general vicinity of the site with additional turn lanes and substantial storage lanes at major intersections, particularly at the Highway 401 ramps. Brock Road was recently widened to 6 through lanes between the rail corridor and Bayly Street.

B. Type ‘B’ arterials are the next highest arterial road classification, providing for some degree of site

access but still prioritizing the movement of traffic. They typically carry traffic volumes in the order of 5,000 to 40,000 vehicles daily. Minimum intersection spacing criteria suggest 525-metre spacing on north/south roads and 300-metre or 500-metre spacing on east/west roads. The criteria allow for some minor ‘T’ intersections at mid-block locations. The Type ‘B’ arterials in the vicinity of the site include:

• Kingston Road is a 4-lane, urban section road in the vicinity of the site, with additional turn

lanes provided at major intersections, and some minor intersections.

• Liverpool Road is a 4-lane urban section road

C. Type ‘C’ arterials are intended to provide more of a balance between traffic movement and site access. They typically carry traffic volumes in the range of 4,000 to 20,000 vehicles daily. Minimum intersection spacing for major intersections is 300 metres, with allowance for some minor

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 10

intermediate intersections, which may be signalized as needed. There are two Type ‘C’ arterial roads in the vicinity of the site:

• Glenanna Road is a 2 lane, urban section road with dedicated bike lanes. Additional turn lanes provided at major intersections.

• Pickering Parkway ranges from a 2 lane to a-5 lane, urban cross section along the length between Liverpool Road and it’s termination at Notion Rd (East of Brock Road).

• Valley Farm Road is a 2 lane, urban cross section

3.1.3 City of Pickering Road Network 3.1.3.1 Collector Roads

The City of Pickering classifies collector roads as roads that generally provide access to individual properties, to local, collector or Type ‘C’ arterial roads, and carry greater volumes of traffic than local roads, including automobiles, pedestrians, bicycles and transit. Collector roads generally have a right-of-way width ranging from 20 to 22 metres.

• The Esplanade North is a 2 lane road with on-street parking along both sides • The Esplanade South is a 2 lane road with on-street parking along both sides

3.1.3.2 Local Roads

The City of Pickering classifies local roads as roads that generally provide access to individual properties, to local and collector roads, and carry local traffic only. Local roads generally have a right-of-way width of up to 20 metres, although local roads serving industrial properties may have a right-of-way width of up to 23 metres. There are no local roads within the general vicinity of the site.

3.1.4 Private Road Network A number of private roads are proposed within the proposed development that will primarily serve to provide accesses to individual development parcels within the block. These roads will connect to Glenanna Road to the east of the development and the remaining existing surface parking lot serving the shopping centre.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 11

3.1.5 Existing Cycling Facilities Existing cycling facilities available on the surrounding road network of the Pickering Town Centre site is limited. The available cycling infrastructure includes:

• Glenanna Road (Pickering Parkway to The Esplanade South) - 0.3 km • Glenanna Road (Kingston Road to Dixie Road)

3.1.6 Durham Region Cycling Plan Durham Region’s 2012 Cycling Plan outlines a number of cycling improvements to the surrounding street network to be completed from 2017 to 2032. These improvements include:

• Buffered Cycle Lanes along Kingston Road • Multi use paths along Liverpool Road, Bayly Street and Brock Road (North of Highway 401) • Cycling lanes along Pickering Parkway. • It is noted that where future MTO interchange and bridge projects are anticipated, provision for

cycling facilities will be reviewed in coordination with these projects. The regional cycling and trail network is illustrated in Figure 5.

4.0 VEHICLE PARKING CONSIDERATIONS 4.1 ZONING BY-LAW 7553/17 PARKING REQUIREMENTS The site is subject to City of Pickering By-law 7553/17, which governs the lands designated by the City of Pickering as the “City Centre”. The parking requirements of By-law 7553/17 are summarized in Table 1.

TABLE 1 ZONING BY-LAW 7553/17 MINIMUM VEHICLE PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Use Units / Floor Area (GFA) Minimum Parking Rate Minimum Parking Requirement1

Residential Residential Units 605 units 0.8 spaces / unit 484 spaces

Non-Residential / Residential Visitors2 Residential Visitor 605 units 0.15 spaces / unit 91 spaces

Community Centre 5,853 m2 3.5 spaces / 100 m2 GLFA 185 spaces

Retail 471 m2 3.5 spaces / 100 m2 GLFA 15 spaces

Performance Arts Centre4 600 seats 1.0 space / 6 seats of

permanent seating 100 spaces

Library 3,988 m2 2.5 spaces / 100 m2 GLFA 90 spaces

Subtotal 481 spaces Total 965 spaces

Notes: 1. Where parking spaces are calculated by gross leasable floor area, or similar calculation, and the required parking is a fraction,

the number of parking spaces shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. 2. Gross Leasable Floor Area (GLFA) assumed to be 90 percent of Gross Floor Area (GFA). 3. Shared parking provisions have not been considered based on currently proposed parking configuration. 4. The performance arts centre requirement was assumed to adopt the requirements for a theatre as per defined in the City of

Pickering Zoning By-law 7553/17. 5. Site Statistics based on plans provided by architectsAlliance dated June 19, 2019. Based on the foregoing, the provision of a minimum of 965 parking spaces, including 484 residential parking spaces, 91 residential visitor parking spaces and 390 non-residential parking spaces, (i.e. community centre, retail, performance centre and library use) are required to meet the minimum parking requirements of Zoning By-law 7553/17.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 14

4.1.1 Accessible Parking Zoning By-law 7553/17 includes a requirement for accessible parking spaces to be provided in accordance with the requirements of City of Pickering Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05. By-law 6604/05 specifies that for a number of required visitor parking spaces between 900 and 950 spaces, then 10 Type ‘A’ and 11 Type ‘B’ accessible parking spaces are required. Type “A” spaces have a minimum width of 3.4 metres and Type “B” spaces have a minimum width of 2.4 metres, while each accessible parking space must have a minimum length of 5.3 metres. Both parking spaces are required to have an access aisle of 1.5 metres extending the full length of the parking space. The required accessible parking supply is to be divided equally between the two parking types.

Based on the provided parking supply of 933 parking spaces, the By-law requirement is 21 accessible parking spaces.

4.2 PROPOSED PARKING SUPPLY Based upon the foregoing, the proposed parking supply of 933 parking spaces, including 492 resident parking spaces, 91 resident visitor spaces and 350 commercial parking spaces to service the community space, library and performance arts uses within a three level below grade garage.

4.2.1 Proposed Residential Parking Supply The proposed resident parking supply of 492 parking spaces (0.8 spaces / unit) will be located on a portion of the P2 and P3 levels of the underground parking facility. Access to the parking facility is proposed via the south entrance from the proposed south driveway. The proposed resident parking supply meets the minimum Zoning By-law 7553/17 and is therefore considered to be appropriate.

4.2.2 Proposed Non-Residential Parking Supply Residential Visitor The proposed residential visitor parking supply of 91 parking spaces will be located on the P2 level of the underground parking facility. The proposed residential visitor parking supply meets the minimum Zoning By-law 7553/17, and is therefore considered to be appropriate. Community Centre/ Library/ Theatre A total of 350 parking spaces have been allocated for non-residential uses, including community centre, library and theatre, and will be located on the P1 parking level. The commercial parking supply of 350 parking spaces is the required community space, library and performance arts uses which is less then the Zoning By-law, but meet the City staff requirements.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 15

4.2.3 Vehicular Parking – Location and Access The current concept plan illustrates the provision of the total 933 parking spaces for the site located within a 3-level underground parking structure. The parking facility will have two accesses which will service different uses of the parking garage. Access to the proposed parking facilities will use the existing Pickering Town Centre driveways to access two parking ramps to the below grade parking area located below the site limits. The southern ramp, located in the future community space / residential building, are provided on the site to access the proposed parking garage, provides direct access to the resident visitor and resident parking spaces located on the P2 and P3 underground parking levels. The northern ramp, located east of Block 2, provides access to the commercial parking garage located on the P1 underground parking level. This supply will service the parking needs related to the community space, library and performance arts uses. Pedestrian entrance to / from the parking facility is provided across the site, with direct connection to the resident / community centre, library and the proposed theatre venue. Based upon the above, it is our opinion that the proposed supply is appropriate and will meet the demands for the proposed development.

4.2.4 Proposed Accessible Parking Provisions A total accessible parking supply of 23 spaces is proposed for the site. This is equivalent to approximately 2% of the total formally proposed site parking supply (933 spaces). Of the total 23-space accessible parking supply, 13 spaces are to be allocated for non-resident use and provided within the P1 commercial parking level of the proposed parking facility within close proximity to the elevator lobbies. Locating the majority of the accessible parking spaces in contained areas on the P1 parking level of the parking structure will facilitate the ability to locate and access the designated parking spaces. The remaining 10 accessible parking spaces will be allocated for resident use and located on the P2 and P3 parking levels of the proposed underground parking facility within close proximity to the resident elevator lobbies. Given that the proposed accessible parking supply meets the City of Pickering By-law and AODA requirements, the accessible parking provisions are considered appropriate for the site.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 16

5.0 LOADING CONSIDERATIONS 5.1 LOADING REQUIREMENTS 5.1.1 City of Pickering Zoning By-law 7553/17 The proposed development is subject to By-law 7553/17 for vehicle loading requirements. It is our understanding that there are no specific loading supply requirements as outlined in the Zoning By-law 7553/17. However, where a loading space is provided, the by-law requires the minimum dimension of a loading space to be 3.5 metres in width and 12.0 metres in length, with a minimum vertical clearance of 4.2 metres.

5.1.2 Durham Zoning By-law 46-2011 The application of the Durham Zoning By-law 46-2011 for Waste Management Services to the proposed development would require a loading area for the waste collection needs of the proposed residential high-rise building in Block 1.

5.2 PROPOSED LOADING FACILITIES 5.2.1 Loading Provisions The proposed plan currently illustrates four (4) formal loading space within two separate loading facilities. The loading facilities are located, generally, at the north and south sides of the site, adjacent to each site use (theatre, and resident tower/ community centre, respectively). Theatre The theatre loading facility at the northeast corner of the site is located adjacent to the theatre stage and back-of-house area. The loading area includes two 12.0 metre by 3.5 metre spaces that can accommodate the manoeuvring of TAC Single Unit (SU) trucks. Resident Tower/ Community Centre The resident/ community centre loading facility at the southeast corner of the site is located adjacent to the back-of-house area. The loading area includes two 12.0 metre by 3.5 metre spaces that can accommodate the manoeuvring of a Durham Region refuse collection vehicle and TAC Single Unit (SU) trucks. The loading facility will service the residential garbage collection, the moving / delivery needs related to the residential component and the servicing needs related to the non-residential components of Block 1. Access to the proposed loading facility will be provided from the south driveway off of Glenenna Road. Library There is a future provision for a lay-by located on the private road network on the east side of the proposed library to accommodate loading for the library.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 17

5.2.2 Residential Refuse Collection Facilities Residential refuse / recycling collection will occur within the proposed loading facility for Block 1 on the ground floor. The garbage rooms are provided on the P2 underground level, where a service elevator will be used to transfer bins to / from the loading area on the day of pick-up.

5.2.3 Non-Residential Garbage and Recycling Facilities Refuse / recycling facilities for the non-residential components of the site have been provided on the ground floor. A dedicated commercial refuse room has been provided in close proximity to the loading area where refuse / recycling will be transferred from the room to the loading area on the day of pick-up. The non-residential refuse / recycling is planned to be collected by a private garbage contractor.

5.2.4 Height Clearance The loading area and access to the loading area has been designed such that a minimum of 7.0 metres clearance is provided from all obstructions such as wires, balconies and trees, throughout the route leading up to the loading area, meeting the Durham Region Zoning By-law 46-2011 Waste Management Services standards.

5.3 LOADING SUMMARY The proposed loading supply of four (4) loading spaces –meets and exceeds the minimum Zoning By-law 7553/17 and 46-2011 loading standards.

JUNE, 2019 6496-54 18

6.0 BICYCLE PARKING CONSIDERATIONS 6.1 ZONING BY-LAW 7553/17 BICYCLE PARKING REQUIREMENTS The proposed development is subject to the bicycle parking requirements specified in the Pickering City Centre Zoning By-law 7553/17. The bicycle parking requirements of By-law 7553/17 are summarized in Table 2.

TABLE 2 ZONING BY-LAW 7533/17 BICYCLE PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Use Units / Floor Area Rate Minimum Parking Requirement

Residential 605 units 0.5 bicycle parking spaces / unit 303 spaces

Non-Residential 13,787 m2 1.00 spaces per 1,000 m2 GLFA or 2 spaces, whichever is greater 13 spaces

Total 316 spaces Notes: 1. Where parking spaces are calculated by gross leasable floor area, or similar calculation, and the required parking is a fraction,

the number of parking spaces shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. 2. Gross Leasable Floor Area (GLFA) assumed to be 90 percent of Gross Floor Area (GFA). 3. Site Statistics based on plans provided by architectsAlliance dated June 19, 2019. Based on the foregoing, a total of 316 bicycle parking spaces are required for the site. By-law 7553/17 also specifies that if the total number of bicycle parking spaces required for a site is greater than 50, 25% of the total bicycle parking supply must be located with a building or structure, a secure lot/enclosure or bicycle lockers.

6.2 PROPOSED BICYCLE PARKING FACILITIES The architectural plans show the provision of a total of 322 bicycle parking spaces; 17 spaces at grade and 305 spaces located within the underground parking garage. All of the spaces provided within the parking garage are provided within a secure, controlled-access bicycle room. Access to the underground bicycle parking spaces is provided via the resident building elevators located at the southeast corner of Block 1. The proposed bicycle parking supply for the building meets and exceeds the requirements of Zoning By-law 7553/17 and is therefore considered to be appropriate.

9. The site is well serviced by a number of surface transit routes provided by the Durham Region Transit and GO Transit services. The Pickering GO Station is within a 15 minute walk to the station, and 8 Durham Region Transit routs are provided in the vicinity of the site with the closest stop located at the intersection of Glenanna Road / The Esplanade North.

Parking Facilities 10. Application of minimum parking requirements in Zoning By-law 7553/17 to the proposed development

results in a minimum parking requirement of 965 parking spaces, including 484 residential parking spaces, 91 residential visitor parking spaces and 390 non-residential parking spaces, (i.e. community centre, retail, performance centre and library uses).

11. The proposed development includes a total of 933 parking spaces, including 492 resident parking spaces,

91 resident visitor spaces and 350 commercial parking spaces to service the community space, library and performance arts uses within a three level below grade garage.

12. Access to the proposed parking facilities will use the existing Pickering Town Centre driveways to access

two parking ramps to the below grade parking area located below the site limits. The southern ramp, located in the future community space / residential building, are provided on the site to access the proposed parking garage, provides direct access to the resident visitor and resident parking spaces located on the P2 and P3 underground parking levels. The northern ramp, located east of Block 2, provides access to the commercial parking garage located on the P1 underground parking level. This supply will service the parking needs related to the community space, library and performance arts uses.

13. The proposed resident and resident visitor parking supply of 492 and 91 spaces, respectively, meets the minimum Zoning By-law 7553/17. The commercial parking supply of 350 parking spaces is the required community space, library and performance arts uses which is less then the Zoning By-law, but meet the City staff requirements.
