SUBJECT:
KITCHENER GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY -
2010 ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
That Report DTS-10-167, Kitchener Growth Management Strategy – 2010 Annual Monitoring
Report be received for information.
BACKGROUND:
In 2009, Council approved the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS). The KGMS
introduce an ongoing growth management program to manage growth-related change in an
effective and co-ordinated manner (Goal 6). One of the action items of KGMS Goal 6 is to
prepare an Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report to track the supply of development
opportunities and the achievement of intensification and density targets. In fulfillment of this
action item, the first Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report has been completed and is
attached for Council’s information.
REPORT:
Growth management is a community priority. In response to numerous directions, including
Compass Kitchener and the “Who-are-you-Kitchener” surveys, Council approved the Kitchener
Growth Management Strategy (KGMS) in support of the City’s Strategic Plan. Kitchener is
expected to accommodate a relatively significant amount of residential and employment growth
over the next twenty years. We are also mandated by the Province to achieve certain numerical
targets and other planning objectives.
The KGMS provides a long-term framework for planning where and how future residential and
employment growth can be accommodated in Kitchener. To ensure that growth contributes
positively to our quality of life, the KGMS provides a framework for co-ordination the provision of
infrastructure and services with new development. The goals and actions support the Province’s
Growth Plan and the Regional Growth Management Strategy. The KGMS introduced an
ongoing growth management program that includes preparing an Annual Growth Management
Monitoring Report.
The attached report monitors growth within the built-up (intensification areas) and designated
Greenfield area of the City of Kitchener from the time the KGMS was prepared in June 2008 up
to June 2010, and provides a summary of observations and changes that may have occurred
during this 2 year time period. The report also provides an analysis of how all this information
relates to other Provincial and Regional initiatives such as Places to Grow and the Regional
Growth Management Strategy respectively.
Highlights:
The results of the updated growth management data are encouraging. The number of residents
and jobs per hectare (RJs/ha) in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown) is dramatically
increasing since the last measurement, from 131 RJs/ha as of four years ago to 151 RJs/ha
now. This is an excellent step towards achieving the provincially-mandated target of 200 RJs/ha
by 2031. Another significant achievement is that the amount of residential development
occurring in the Built-up Area is 43%. This is very close to the target for urban municipalities
within the Region of Waterloo. No doubt the momentous efforts that the City and other partners
have undertaken over the past decade to support intensification are now contributing to positive
results.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
COMMUNICATIONS:
The 2010 Annual Monitoring Report will be a public document that is available to the larger
community.
CONCLUSION:
The information outlined in the attached report implements one of the action items of Goal 6 of
the KGMS to establish an ongoing growth management program that includes preparing an
Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report, and is to be received for information by
Kitchener City Council.

1.0 Executive Summary
Growth management is a community priority. In response to numerous directions,
including Compass Kitchener and the “Who-are-you-Kitchener” surveys, Council
approved the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS) in support of the City’s
Strategic Plan. Kitchener is expected to accommodate a relatively significant amount of
residential and employment growth over the next twenty years. We are also mandated
by the Province to achieve certain numerical targets and other planning objectives.
Although other municipalities have established growth management programs, Kitchener
is on the leading edge with respect to the ability to track and monitor specific growth data
in a dynamic manner. As part of Kitchener’s ongoing growth management program the
intent is to continually refine the data, improve the dynamic capabilities and provide
information to help support numerous corporate studies and infrastructure projects. A
‘snapshot’ of the data is contained within this first KGMS – 2010 Monitoring Report.
The results of the updated growth management data are encouraging. The number of
residents and jobs per hectare (RJs/ha) in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown) is
dramatically increasing from 131 RJs/ha as of four years ago to 151 RJs/ha now. This is
an excellent step towards achieving the provincially-mandated target of 200 RJs/ha by
2031. Another significant achievement is that the amount of residential development
occurring in the Built-up Area is 43%. This is very close to the target for urban
municipalities within this region. No doubt the momentous efforts that the City, and other
partners, have undertaken over the past decade to support intensification are now
contributing to positive results.

Kitchener Growth Management Strategy
2010 Annual Monitoring Report
DTS 10-167
2.0 Introduction
In 2009, Council approved the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS). The
KGMS provides a framework for planning where and how future residential and
employment growth can be accommodated in Kitchener while positively contributing to
our quality of life. The goals and actions outlined in the KGMS support the provincial
Places to Grow Growth Plan for the Greater Horseshoe (Places to Grow) and the
Regional Growth Management Strategy (RGMS).
The KGMS introduced an ongoing growth management program to manage growth-
related change in an effective and co-ordinated manner (Goal 6). One of the action
items of KGMS Goal 6 is to prepare an Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report
to track the supply of development opportunities and the achievement of intensification
and density targets. In fulfillment of this action item, the first Annual Growth
Management Monitoring Report has been completed. The monitoring report is also an
opportunity to provide an update on the progress of implementing the KGMS action
items along with provincial and regional growth plans.
This first monitoring report primarily updates the data from the KGMS Background
Study: Current Baseline Report (Parts 6-9). It presents a summary of recent residential
development rates and updates the potential capacity to accommodate growth both
within the Built-up Area (intensification areas) and in the Designated Greenfield Area.
The original data from the KGMS Background Study were as of June 16, 2008 (with
some of the existing residential data at the time coming from the 2006 Census). This
monitoring report updates the data to approximately June 16, 2010.
3.0 Annual Delegated Approval Authority Report
The City of Kitchener is required to provide the Region of Waterloo with an annual report
on the number and status of plans of subdivision, part-lot control exemption by-laws,
consent applications, plans of condominium, and the number and type of units created
by approvals for the preceding year. In addition, the Director of Planning is required to
provide summary reports to inform Council of all delegated approvals.
The most recent Delegated Approval Authority Report (DTS 10-050) was prepared
earlier this year to include approvals for 2008-09. The Report is attached as Appendix A.
Future versions of the KGMS Annual Monitoring Report will combine the information
required for the delegated approval to provide a more efficient and effective process.

4.0 Residential Development Rates
This section identifies the past development rates in the City of Kitchener regarding
construction of new residential units by dwelling type.

Total New Units 10881168150815691230
* Gross new units (conversion/additions included, demolitions not subtracted)
** Includes additions. Does not include cluster townhouses.
There were 80 additional building permits issued for new residential dwelling units in
2009 compared to 2008. Although there were notably less building permits issued for
single detached dwellings, there was an increase in both street townhouses and,
proportionally, a very large increase in multiple dwellings units due to the construction of
several new apartment buildings. Thus far in 2010 new residential dwelling units are up
by approximately 300 compared to this time last year.
Residential development rates over the past two years are lower than the previous high
period of 2001-2007 as reflected in the 5- and 10-year average rates in the figure above.
The current rate is actually now closer to the 20-year average.
5.0 Intensification Level
Places to Grow requires that a minimum of 40% of all new residential development occur
within a region’s Built-up Area by the year 2015. According to the Region of Waterloo’s
new Official Plan the target for the urban municipalities, including Kitchener, is 45%. For
some municipalities that still have a significant amount of greenfield lands available and
limited intensification opportunities this could be a challenge. Kitchener is well positioned
to achieve this target. The historic intensification levels, as per the provincial Built
Boundary Line methodology, are relatively high and are indicated in the following Figure.

DTS 10-167
Figure 2: Intensification Level (2001 to present)
The most recent measures of new residential units by type in the Built-up Area (BUA)
and Designated Greenfield Area (DGA) are indicated in the Figure below.

Cluster Townhouses 49133182
Multiple Dwellings67185252
Total7915851375
Percent of Total 57% 43% 100%
Between June 16, 2009 and June 15, 2010 the intensification level in Kitchener has
increased to 43%. The construction of new multiple dwelling units and cluster
townhouses (often on sites from 20-30 year old subdivision blocks) contributes to this
fairly high rate. It is expected that the intensification level will remain relatively high in the
next few years as more redevelopments occurs in the Urban Growth Centre
(Downtown), such as the City Centre project, along with the construction of other
multiple dwellings and remaining subdivision lots that are located inside the Built Area.
When new subdivision growth areas are ready for development there will likely be
additional pressures in the DGA. It may be challenging to maintain a high intensification
rate until such time as most of the greenfield lands are exhausted, similar to recent
experience in some other municipalities.

6.0 Intensification Areas – Existing Measures and Capacity for New Growth
Existing Measures
This section quantifies the existing number of dwelling units, residents, jobs and density
measure for the currently identified intensification areas in Kitchener. Given the
challenges with MPAC data regarding accuracy of building floor space, this information
is not contained within the tables of this monitoring report.

The existing measures for residential dwelling units within the intensification areas has
increased by approximately 700 units in the last two years with the greatest increase
occurring in the Urban Growth Centre (UGC). This increase in new residents, along with
continual employment growth, contributes to a rapidly rising density measure. The
province established a target that our UGC should be planned to achieve at least 200
RJs/ha by the year 2031. Several years ago they measured our density to be 120
RJs/ha according to 2001 Census figures. The June 2008 figure from the KGMS
Background Study was a UGC density of 131 RJs/ha. As indicated in the Figure above,
the current density is up to 151 RJs/ha. The recent occupation of the Kaufman Lofts and
the Health Sciences campus has contributed to this exceptional increase. Additional
intensification currently happening or proposed in the UGC such as the Lang Tannery,
the Breithaupt Block, Arrow Lofts and the City Centre project should continue to help
achieve the target. These type of redevelopments not only help achieve the provincial
numerical target but, perhaps more importantly, they positively contribute to the social,
environmental, economic and cultural well-being of the community.

Capacity for New Growth
The following figure explores the potential for accommodating new development within
each of the current intensification areas based on the existing zoning only.

The existing residential unit capacity within each Intensification Area has changed over
the past several years. In four Intensification Areas (UGC, Primary Node, Mixed Use
Nodes and Neighbourhood Mixed Use Centres), the residential unit capacity has
decreased due to recent development activity. In the Mixed Use Corridors the residential
unit capacity has increased as expected. This is primarily due to many properties now
having the new mixed use zones which for some areas allows for an increase in use and
density.

7.0 Estimated Land Supply (Kitchener Measures)
The estimated land supply for Kitchener is a total of the potential capacity within the
Built-up Area and the Designated Greenfield Area. As development moves from raw
land through the development approvals stage and eventually to construction; the land
supply estimate items become more accurate.
7.1 Potential Built-Up Area (BUA) Supply
The intensification inventory includes lands within the Built Boundary Line. It is a
summary of the potential capacity within intensification areas (Figure 5), site specific
intensification opportunities (SSIOs such as brownfield or other isolated underutilized
parcels), a minor intensification factor within existing neighbourhoods and the potential
supply from registered, draft approved or future subdivisions that were captured in the
BUA.

Kitchener Growth Management Strategy
2010 Annual Monitoring Report
DTS 10-167
The overall unit, resident and job count has increased within the BUA since June 2008.
Within the SSIOs it is noted that the number of jobs has decreased and units count has
increased as expected. This is primarily due to the rezoning of some industrial properties
usually to residential or mixed use.
The draft approved unit numbers did not increase significantly as there were limited
plans of subdivision within the built boundary that were draft approved in the last 2
years. The number of dwelling units within registered plans (vacant land inventory)
decreased as new homes are built.
Overall, the total potential supply within BUA lands (under the current zoning provisions)
increased by approximately 1,600 residential dwelling units and 2,000 residents. This is
primarily due to the new Mixed Use Corridor zoning that is now in place for many
properties.
7.2 Potential Designated Greenfield Area Supply
The potential Greenfield inventory includes all lands outside the Built Boundary Line that
are designated for development in the City’s Official Plan. It also includes lands that are
not designated in the Official Plan but are part of the City’s Urban Area according to
ROPP Amendment No. 16. These lands are currently under study and the estimated
new population and employment numbers will change pending the outcome of the
community master plan.

A majority of the plans of subdivision within the Doon South Phase II area that were in
circulation in June 2008, have now been draft approved as per an OMB decision. This
accounts for the increase in the number of draft approved units and a decrease for those
that are in circulation.

9.0 Places to Grow Implementation
The City of Kitchener is presently undertaking a review of its Official Plan. The new
Official Plan will be updated to include policies that will further aid in the implementation
of Places to Grow. The KGMS and this monitoring report also provide a mechanism for
monitoring new development and tracking how we are achieving provincial
requirements.
Growth Forecasts
Regional allocations of population and employment forecast that Kitchener may grow by
approximately 100,000 persons and 30,000 jobs from 2006 to 2031. In response, the
City developed background information in support of the KGMS that analyses the growth
capacity of various areas of the City. As indicated in the figure above, Kitchener still has
the capacity to accommodate the allocated growth into appropriate areas.
Urban Growth Centre
Places to Grow requires that our Urban Growth Centre be planned to achieve a
minimum of 200 persons and jobs per hectare by 2031. The present density is 151 pj/ha.
Kitchener is well on its way to achieving the provincial target.
Intensification
Places to Grow requires that a significant proportion of residential development be
directed to the BUA by 2015. For our municipality, the target according to the new
Region Official Plan is 45%. To achieve and monitor this target, the City has a dynamic
system that tracks building permit issuance for new residential units inside and outside
the Built Boundary Line on a daily basis. For the past year, Kitchener had a 43%
intensification level which more than a 10% increase from the prior two years.
Greenfield Densities
Places to Grow mandates that future development within the DGA should achieve
specific, transit-supportive density targets. For our municipality, the target according to
the new Region Official Plan is 55 residents and jobs per hectare in residential
subdivisions. Kitchener is well positioned to meet this target. Plans of subdivision that
were already approved before Places to Grow and that are being recently constructed
were already exceeding 50 RJs/ha on average. Numerous recent plans that have
received approvals in Kitchener meet or exceed the current 55 RJs/ha target. Additional
work is underway as part of the new Official Plan to further refine what this target means
for specific areas in Kitchener. Also, the Kitchener Growth Management Plan (KGMP)
provides a tool that for identifying and tracking greenfield subdivision density.
Planning Principles
Planning a city is not just about achieving certain numerical targets. The majority of
Places to Grow includes policy direction to achieve healthy and complete communities.
Kitchener has long been a leader in promoting walkable, transit-supportive development.
Kitchener’s efforts to continue to revitalize the Urban Growth Centre, clean up brownfield
sites and achieve mixed use developments that are pedestrian-oriented are significant.
We are further striving to enhance the linkages between land use planning and other
community considerations such as transportation options, community infrastructure,
social dynamics, economics and environmental conservation. Ultimately, the goal is to
help achieve a higher quality of life in a healthy community.

11.0 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy Implementation
The KGMS encompasses six goals that facilitate managing growth and development
within the City of Kitchener. These goals support the RGMS and have been adapted to
the City of Kitchener context. Over the course of the past two years a significant share of
the objectives, initiatives and recommendations of the KGMS have been initiated and
completed.
Goal 1: Enhance our Valued Natural and Cultural Heritage Resources
1. Prepare a Consolidated Local Greenlands Network
The City is presently completing the Natural Heritage System inventory. Mapping and
associated policies from the project will be incorporated into the Official Plan Update in
2011.
2. Strengthen Official Plan Policies for the Build Environment to be more ‘green’
The review of the Green Development policies has been completed. New or revised
‘green’ policies will be included in the Official Plan in 2011.
3. Implement Official Plan Policies by adding more ‘green’ to the Urban Design Manual
Implementation of ‘green’ policy will be incorporated into the completion of the Official
Plan.

4. Water Management: Implement Sub-watershed/Functional Study Recommendations
There are specific water management studies occurring as part of the Southwest Urban
Area studies.
5. Integrate the Heritage Inventory/Registry with the Growth Management Plan
Heritage properties are now mapped and can be layered with intensification areas and
other Official plan layers.
6. Identify Cultural Heritage Landscapes
There will be polices in the new Official Plan regarding Cultural Heritage properties. The
Cultural Heritage Inventory project is scheduled for 2012 – 2013. Specific Cultural
Heritage Landscapes are being investigated as part of the Southwest Urban Area
studies.
Goal 2: Create Vibrant Urban Places
1. Establish Minimum Density Requirements for Major Intensification Areas
Minimum density requirements are being considered by the Comprehensive Review of
Intensification Areas project currently underway.
2. Undertake an Intensification Area Detailed Review
st
Completion of Intensification Areas project report went to the June 21 2010 DTS
meeting. Based on this work, the City is now considering new policies for the Official
Plan.
2a. Analyze Sanitary and Engineering Infrastructure City-wide Capacity
Modeling of Sanitary and Engineering Infrastructure is now complete. A final report for
the project is under review.

12.0 Kitchener Growth Management Plan
TheKitchener Growth Management Plan (KGMP) is an evolved form of the former
Staging of Development program and is used as a tool to assist with the implementation
of the KGMS. The KGMP established priority levels for development and projects for
each growth area within the City of Kitchener. It includes the prioritization and allocation
of resources towards completing initiatives that are required to move lands from the draft
approval stage to registration, construction and developing complete communities. The
KGMP is expected to be updated in 2011. However, prior to next year’s update, there is
more work that has to occur within the priority areas. There are approximately 8-10 plans
that have now been approved or close to approvals along with many zone change and
site plan applications within the Priority A and B areas. Also, approximately 15 of 17
Priority A and B projects have been completed or underway. However, there are and
will continue to be significant challenges to accommodate continual growth and related
infrastructure in a fiscally responsible manner in more than one growth area at a time.
