City of Pickering Official Plan- Edition 6

The Advisory Committee’s report concluded that it is “not
only possible but imperative that a compact, innovative
community be constructed on the site, and that there is
broad public support for the idea.”
In January 1996, the Province announced that it, in
conjunction with the City and Region, would be proceeding
with a detailed community planning exercise for the Seaton
lands. Among other matters, the exercise would be used to
establish a precise boundary for the Seaton urban area, as
well as the arrangement of land uses within the boundary
and the layout of the required transportation network.
Appropriate amendments to this Plan will be made
following the Seaton planning exercise to incorporate
relevant land use, transportation, and other matters
respecting this community. The following policies are
provided as the City’s initial input to the Seaton planning
exercise.
2.12 City Council shall work co-operatively with the
Province, the Region and others, including
existing residents, business-people and
landowners within the City, in undertaking a
planning exercise for the Seaton Urban Study
Area.
