• Provision for a range and variety of housing types, etc. Approved Neighbourhood Plans will provide the detailed policy basis for the approval, under the Planning Act, of Draft Plans of Subdivision and zoning by-laws permitting development. On April 26, 2011, the City of Pickering Council endorsed an Amendment to the Pickering Official Plan (the Conformity OPA). The Conformity OPA will implement the Seaton Urban Area portion of the provincially approved Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP). Neighbourhood Plans (NP) for a portion of the area and Sustainable Placemaking Guidelines for all of the urban area will also be prepared to comply with the Conformity OPA. The MESPA was therefore intended to be one of a number of higher order “bridges” between the CPDP and Neighbourhood Plans. Together with the Highway 407 Economic Development Study (completed), a Seaton Retail Market Analysis Study, Natural Heritage System Management Plan (completed), and the Environmental Assessments for Regional Services (ongoing), the MESPA addresses matters on a comprehensive, Seaton-wide basis to inform the Neighbourhood Plan Review Study. Further, the MESPA includes recommendations that provide direction to the completion of Neighbourhood Functional Stormwater and Servicing Reports (NFSSRs) to be completed in support of draft plans of subdivision. Notwithstanding the original intent to complete the MESPA prior to the completion of Neighbourhood Plans, the Neighbourhood planning process was accelerated at the City of Pickering while the extensive study and review process for the MESPA was ongoing. Consequently, Neighbourhood Plans for Seaton were endorsed by the City of Pickering on April 26, 2011 and September 19, 2011. These Neighbourhood Plans, together, cover all of the Seaton Urban area and at the time of this MESPA are were currently before the Ontario Municipal Board awaiting approval. As a result, the MESPA was able to be informed by the Neighbourhood Plans prior to its completion with regard to such matters as transportation, municipal servicing and major community facilities. However, with regard to the MESPA For the purposes of this MESPA2, a land use concept is necessary as input to impact assessment work. This largely relates to land use assumptions for surface water and groundwater modeling analyses, it was necessary to establish a land use concept that would not be changed throughout the MESPA study and review process. The land use plan used for these assessments is presented on Figure A8.1. This plan reflects the CPDP plan modified based on landowner submitted Neighbourhood Plans and development concept plans as of June 2011. Information on this land use plan was compiled from: • Proposed neighbourhood plans prepared by the private developers and one neighbourhood plan prepared by OILC and submitted to the City of Pickering under the Planning Act; • Concept plans prepared as informational documents for ORC OILC on its Living Area lands; and, • The concept plan of subdivision prepared for Phase 1 of the ORC OILC Employment Lands. by Hemson in its study for those lands.

These approval processes will also require detailed, site specific studies including Neighbourhood Functional Stormwater and Servicing Reports (NFSSRs) illustrating how the recommendations of the MESPA will be met. It is also important to note that over time, new information may result in revisions to recommendations set out in this MESPA. In such instances, it will be necessary that the supporting studies for the final development approval processes address the new or revised recommendations. However, as this MESPA is based on information and best practices at the time of its completion and is not part of a Planning Act approval, it will not be necessary to review, revise or update the MESPA itself based on new information or targets.
