City of Pickering Official Plan- Edition 6

CHAPTER FIFTEEN -- DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
The review and consideration of development proposals
by staff and Council, in consultation with the public and
relevant agencies is a primary activity that enables
implementation of the goals, objectives and policies of this
Plan.
This Chapter of the Plan provides guidance on the types
of matters that should be examined in the review of
development applications. Some of these matters include:
provincial and regional policies; the goals, objectives and
policies of this Plan; the results of any supporting studies;
the results of agency consultation; and the results of public
consultation.
This Chapter also outlines the various reports that are
required to be submitted in conjunction with a
development application to constitute a complete
application. An application would be deemed to be
complete when all required information as set out in this
Chapter has been submitted to the City. A standard list of
required studies is provided for all development
applications. However, during the pre-submission
consultation with the applicant, staff will identify the
studies from the standard list that will not be required or
may be scoped in extent, or may request additional
information depending on the complexity of the
application.

some enabling policies so the City can require certain
matters as conditions of development approvals (such as
dedication of parkland and securing road widenings).
