Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 7:30 pm
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.
