The following events were
held as part of the Seaton Neighbourhood Planning Review
(SNPR).
April 20, 2011
Seaton Open House
Location: Pickering Civic
Complex, Lobby
Purpose: To provide information
and obtain comments on recent work that has been
prepared through the SNPR, including: The Neighbourhood Plans, The Sustainable Placemaking Guidelines,
and The Staged Servicing and Implementation Strategy.
April 26, 2011
Special Meeting of Pickering
Council
Location: Pickering Civic
Complex, Council Chambers
Purpose: To consider the
recommendations of a Report to Council respecting The Neighbourhood Plans, The Sustainable Placemaking Guidelines,
and The Staged Servicing and Implementation Strategy
Background
Seaton is generally bounded by Highway 7 on the north,
Sideline 16/Ajax boundary on the east, the CP railway on
the south, and West Duffins Creek on the west.
The Seaton Neighbourhood Planning Review (SNPR)
commenced in late 2009. Council retained a
multi-disciplinary consulting team, lead by Sorensen
Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc. to assist the
City. In June 2010, various background reports
were released. During the fall of 2010, a
collaborative process took place between the City of
Pickering, Province of Ontario, the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority and the Seaton Landowners Group
which lead to an amendment to the Pickering Official
Plan that will provide the necessary policy framework
for the development of Seaton. The amendment is
known as the “Seaton Conformity Amendment” and the
parties have agreed to seek the Ontario Municipal
Board’s approval of this Amendment at a hearing to be
scheduled later this year.
The agreement of the Province and the Seaton Landowners
Group with the Seaton Conformity Amendment is
conditional on their review and acceptance of
Neighbourhood Plans, Sustainable Placemaking Guidelines
and a Staged Servicing and Implementation Strategy. A
tight timetable for completion of the work was
identified in the agreement, and thus, the need for the
Special Meeting of Pickering Council.
We invite you to come and learn more about Seaton and
provide your comments on these documents.
