Mr. D. Cybalski recused himself as he was not present at the March 20, 2018 Committee of Adjustment
meeting when the application was initially considered by the Committee and left the meeting at this time.
Mr. A. Head assumed the Chair.
The Committee was advised the applicant is requesting permission to construct a multi -residential
development on the severed land referenced in Consent Application B 2017-040 having a 102 unit,
four -storey residential apartment building and 35 townhouse units on lands designated under the
City's Official Plan (OP) as Institutional and Low Rise Residential, having a maximum building
height for the apartment building of 12.5m rather than the permitted maximum height of 10.5m;
easterly and westerly side yard setbacks of 6m rather than the required 6.25m; a maximum Floor
Space Ratio (FSR) of 0.853 rather than the permitted FSR of 0.6; to permit 171 off-street parking
spaces (1.25 spaces/per unit) rather than the required 206 off-street parking spaces (1.5
spaces/per unit); and, to provide 34 visitor parking spaces (17% of the required parking) ratherthan
the required 41 visitor parking spaces (20% of the required parking).
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD -18-061 dated March 9,
2018, and a follow-up to the Report, dated June 4, 2018, both recommending refusal of the subject
application.

The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner dated
March 6, 2018, advising they have no concerns with this application.
Ms. J. Voss and Mr. P. Leveck were in attendance on behalf of the property owner in support of
the application and in opposition to staffs refusal recommendation. Ms. Voss advised the
application was initially considered at the March 20, 2018 Committee of Adjustment meeting where
the Committee recommended deferral to allow an opportunity to address the concerns raised by
staff regarding the requested variances. She stated since the March meeting staff were provided a
tree management plan and parking assessment, which were not addressed in Report CSD -18-061.
Ms. Voss stated Planning staff have taken the position that an Official Plan (OP) Amendment and
a Zone Change Application are required for the proposed development.
Ms. Voss circulated a draft Site Plan demonstrating what would be permitted to be built on-site with
the as -of -right Zoning on the subject property, and what is being proposed if the variances are
approved. She indicated in her opinion the sites have very similar characteristics and demonstrates
how the requested variances comply with the Zoning By-law. She indicated without the variances,
the site would be under-utilized, it would have an inefficient development pattern and there would
be an over -supply of parking, resulting in a less desirable development. Ms. Voss further advised
they are at an impasse with staff regarding the subject application. She stated in her opinion, the
requested variances improve the as -of -right site plan on the property and are in compliance with
Provincial, Regional and Municipal policies. She stated the variances would promote efficient
development patterns and efficient use of the existing and planned infrastructure, including transit,
commercial and community amenities, adding in her opinion sufficient parking is being proposed
and there are no adverse impacts on neighbouring properties. She reiterated that a request was
made at the March Committee meeting to reduce the variance for Floor Space Ratio (FSR) from
0.853 as outlined in the application to 0.848.
Ms. J. Wilson and Mr. S. Phillips, neighbouring property owners, were in attendance in opposition
to the subject application and in support of staffs recommendation. They raised concerns with: the
proposed size of the development; loss of green space and trees; increased vehicle and pedestrian
traffic; traffic volumes and safety; and, parking.
In response to questions, Mr. C. Dumart provided an overview of the staff report, stating it is staff's
position that the proposed development does not conform to the Zoning By-law or the OP. He
stated there are two designations applied to the subject property, being Low Rise Residential and
Institutional, and the proposed development does not comply with either of the designations. He
indicated staff have also raised additional concerns with servicing constraints and tree
management plans, as well as parking and traffic issues. He stated since the deferral, the applicant
submitted a Site Plan application, which was received May 17, 2018. Staff circulated the Site Plan
application May 31, 2018; however, staff have been unable to complete the review. He noted the
comments from the Region of Waterloo have not changed since the March meeting when the
application was initially considered. Mr. Dumart stated staff's position for the application has not
changed, the addendum Report outlines the recommendation for refusal.
Questions were raised regarding what steps the applicant has taken between the March meeting
and consideration of the application to date. Mr. Dumart advised when the application was initially
before the Committee, no formal Site Plan application had been submitted for the proposed
development. He stated staff were provided a concept plan for consideration in support of the
proposed variances. He stated since that time, the applicant has formally submitted their Site Plan
and there were no changes from what was being requested at the previous meeting. Mr. Dumart
further advised the applicant is still requesting an increase in height, increased FSR, reduced
setbacks and reduction in on-site and visitor parking, which do not conform to the Zoning By-law
or OP.
In response to further questions, Mr. Dumart explained overall the property has split OP
Designations, adding the properties are also split -Zoned. He noted the portion of the property the
applicant has identified as parkland dedication has not been formalized and is partially Zoned R -4 -
the balance of the property is I-2 with special use provisions. He advised it is staffs position that
the application does not conform with the OP, as the Institutional policies do not permit multiple-

i��1•T511�r•Ti1�t:7i�_��iyE:�iY�7NZ.7iiiC
residential uses as a stand-alone use and thus the application fails the four tests. He noted further
concerns with servicing constraints, stating it is staffs opinion that the application is premature.
Mr. B. McColl stated there seems to be some confusion regarding the subject application. He
indicated although the applicant has advised changes have been made to the application, staff
have a difference of opinion. He expressed disappointment that staff and the applicant appear to
still be at an impasse.
Mr. A. Head commented staffs comments do not appear to have changed since the original
meeting. He requested clarification of the applicant's understanding of the impasse.
Ms. Voss advised in her opinion, the major issue is that staff feel the application does not conform
with the Official Plan. She stated the property is designated as Institutional under the 2014 OP;
however, the entire Institutional policy section of the 2014 OP has been appealed to the Ontario
Municipal Board (OMB) and is not in force and effect. She stated staff have taken their position by
using the 1994 Official Plan and selecting a designation that is similar to the 2014 OP Institutional
designation. She commented the property was never designated Institutional, noting in the 1994
OP the property was designated Mixed -Use Node. Ms. Voss further advised staff have used the
Major Institutional policies in the 1994 OP and have applied those policies to the site, which is
irrelevant because it was never designated Institutional. She stated the Major Institutional policies
in the 1994 OP actually apply to the Institutional policies of the 2014 OP, because the City made a
departure from their Institutional policy framework from the 1994 OP to the current plan, adding
those policies have been appealed to the OMB because they do not permit residential uses.
Ms. Voss stated in her opinion, staff have randomly picked a designation from their former plan that
implements the new policies within the 2014 OP, which have been appealed to the OMB and are
not currently in force and effect. She stated they have provided staff all the information they
requested from the original meeting, and have submitted a Site Plan application. She noted the
reduction in the FSR from 0.853 to 0.848 was changed prior to the March 20, 2018 Committee of
Adjustment meeting and it was brought to the Committee's attention at that meeting. Ms. Voss
stated they are at a fundamental impasse with City staff on the way they are applying the OP
Policies. She further advised the variances do comply with the Zoning By-law as multiple -residential
use is permitted within the Institutional Zone. She indicated they have submitted a number of
supporting documents regarding the proposed development and staff have not given them proper
consideration because they have taken the position that an OP Amendment and Zone Change
application is required. She stated it is the applicants' position that they have as -of -right Zoning and
as such, are requesting variances to that Zoning that are minor in nature and in conformity with the
Zoning By-law. She stated with regards to the OP, the Mixed -Use Node policy should apply
because that is what it was designated as in the 1994 OP; it was never designated Major
Institutional.
In response to questions, Mr. Dumart stated a tree -management plan and parking justification were
submitted on May 17, 2018 as part of the Site Plan application. He stated for clarification, part of
the site is designated as Low -Rise Residential and that Low -Rise designation permits a maximum
of a 3 -story building height maximum as well as a maximum FSR of 0.75. He indicated the applicant
is proposing a four -storey building and an FSR of 0.848, stating the OP clearly specifies anything
above those requirements would require an Official Plan amendment.
The Chair requested clarification on the servicing constraints related to the sanitary pumping station
in relation to the increased density on site. Ms. Voss advised the forcemain is already under
construction and is anticipated to be commissioned in October, 2018. She stated the proposed
development will not be through the approval process prior to the forcemain being commissioned.
She further advised at a pre -submission Site Plan meeting, staff advised there would be no
concerns with the servicing as the forcemain was pending construction and they acknowledged
that it would likely be commissioned prior to obtaining a building permit.
In response to questions, Ms. Voss reiterated the property is designated Institutional in the 2014
OP but the policies are under appeal so they are not in force and effect this date. She noted they
will not be in force and effect until the appeals have been addressed, noting there are no Institutional

i��1•T511�r•Ti1�t:7i�_��iyE:�iY�7NZ.7iiiC
policies in effect for this property in the Official Plan. She stated the portion of the property they are
intending to develop is completely within the 1-2 Zone.
Mr. Dumart noted the property has split designation in the OP, it is half institutional and half low-
rise residential. He advised the applicant is referring to the 1994 OP where the property was
designated Mixed -Use, which is no longer in effect. He further advised the property is designated
Institutional, adding due to the OP appeals, the policies are currently not in effect. Mr. Dumart stated
staff have based their opinions on the 1994 institutional policies, reiterating that the mixed-use
designation is no longer in effect.
Ms. Voss stated the property does have a split designation, noting the Institutional policies in the
2014 OP were appealed by another developer because they did not agree with the policy
framework within the OP because the policy does not permit any residential development in an
Institutional designation, which was previously permitted in the 1994 OP. She stated all of the
Institutional policies are before the board, and due to the designation of the 2014 OP, staff are now
selecting a designation from the 1994 OP, which is Major Institutional. She stated the only
properties having that designation in the 1994 OP were schools, universities and hospitals; within
that designation residential was not permitted as a stand-alone use. Ms. Voss further advised it is
their opinion staff have selected a designation that is attempting to enforce policies within the 2014
OP, which are actually under appeal. She stated they made a presentation at the March meeting
justifying the impasse between staffs opinion and the applicants'. She indicated in her opinion, staff
are applying a designation that the property has never been subject to. Ms. Voss reiterated they
have as -of -right Zoning and would be permitted to obtain a building permit for the development that
was circulated this date, which is similar to the development in which they are requesting variances
on.
Mr. Dumart stated that although the policies of the 2014 OP are under appeal, the City can refer to
parallel policies from the 1994 OP, which are the Major Institutional policies. He stated the applicant
is correct in that those policies were intended for Major Institutional uses, noting what is currently
in existence on the site this date is Emmanuel Bible College. He further advised the site was created
through a Consent application using the Major Institutional land use policies to create the two lots.
He noted the Major Institutional policies do contemplate similar ranges of uses as the Institutional
policies outlined in the 2014 OP and the proposed variances do not conform to the designation. Mr.
Dumart further advised Section 7.14 only permits multiple residential uses that are developed in
conjunction with an Institutional use. He further advised part of the site is low-rise residential, and
is allowed a maximum building height of three stories and an FSR of 0.75; the wording in the OP
specifically states anything above these maximums require an OP Amendment.
Mr. McColl stated he is aware the Committee has approved an increase in FSR in previous
applications. Mr. Dumart stated the Committee has never approved an increase in FSR beyond
0.75 for a Low -Rise Residential designation. Ms. Voss advised the FSR within the Low -Rise
Residential portion of the property is 0.591, adding staff have are using the FSR for the entire site.
In response to questions, Mr. Dumart advised it would be premature to comment on a possible
outcome of an OP Amendment and Zone Change.
In response to questions, Ms. Voss advised if the Committee refused the application they would
likely appeal the decision to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT); or, depending on timing,
they may consider constructing the as -of -right development as demonstrated to the Committee this
date.

The Chair noted comments from the Region of Waterloo and requested their proposed conditions
be included as part of the Committee's decision.
Mr. B. McColl questioned if a parkland dedication payment should be included in the Committee's
decision. Ms. J. von Westerholt stated parkland dedication had already been addressed for the
subject property.
Ms. D. Saunderson requested, and it was agreed, that two additional conditions be included in the
Committee's decision related to the lot addition to ensure the lots are taken in identical ownership
and the PINs are consolidated.
Mr. Hallman questioned the Region of Waterloo's proposed condition requiring a Noise Study,
stating it was his understanding that a Noise Study would only be required for a condominium
development. He noted the development was subject to Site Plan approval and a Noise Study was
not requirement of that process.
Mr. A. Head questioned whether the condition related to the Noise Study could be substituted with
a noise warning clause. Ms. J. von Westerholt stated it would be her preference that the proposed
noise condition remain as requested by the Region of Waterloo, adding they could waive the
requirement if it was their wish.
The Chair suggested, and it was agreed, that the Region of Waterloo's proposed Noise Study
condition be included in the Committee's decision.
A motion was brought forward by Mr. B. McColl to approve the recommendation outlined in Report
DSD -18-053, including the two Conditions proposed by the Region of Waterloo, which was

The Committee considered Community Services Department report DSD -18-054 dated June 7,
2018, recommending approval of these applications subject to the conditions outlined in the Report.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Planning, Development and
Legislative Services dated June 11, 2018, advising they have no objection to applications B 2018-
041 and B 2018-042.
The Committee considered the report of the Region of Waterloo, Transportation Planner dated
June 6, 2018, advising they have no concerns with applications A 2018-054, A 2018-055 and A
2018-056.
Mr. S. Patterson was in attendance in support of the subject applications. He stated although he
had no concerns with staff's recommendation, he expressed concerns with the timing for the
driveways as outlined in Condition 10 of the staff report. He stated depending on the timeline for
building permits timelines, it may require the applicant to install the driveway in the winter months
to complete the consent within the one-year time frame.
The Chair suggested, and it was agreed, that Condition 10 as outlined in the staff report be
amended to remove the wording indicating 'prior to occupancy'.
Ms. R. Dann, neighbouring property owner, was in attendance in objection to the subject
applications and staff recommendations. She expressed concerns with: the size and width of the
street; driveway access; and, population density for that area, adding in her opinion the proposed
dwellings do not conform to the existing area homes.
The Chair referenced an area map, noting there appeared to be a number of lots in the subject
area that are similar in size to the ones proposed.
Mr. B. McColl stated the subject property is similar in size to those located across the street, adding
the proposed lots will be smaller than those on the same side of the street. He noted the proposed
variances are fairly small, adding other than the lot width, the subject application meets the By-law
requirements.
