SUBJECT AREA ~~~ ~a `~~ ~~ GQ Subject Property: 225 The Boardwalk RECOMMENDATION: That Zone Change Application ZC11/006/T/GS (225 The Boardwalk, The INCC Corp.) to remove Holding Provision 57H in the form shown in the attached "Proposed By-law" dated July 13, 2011, attached to Report CSD-11-094 as Appendix A, be approved. 5-1 Staff Re vet ~ITCH~I~TE~ CommunrtyServicesDepar~men~ www.kitchenerca REPORT: The subject lands are located at 225 The Boardwalk. The applicant is proposing to change the zoning of the lands for the purpose of removing a holding provision. Holding Provision 57H was placed on the property at the time of a previous zone change amendment at the request of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. It required the Owner to submit and receive approval of an updated Traffic Impact Study. The intent of the study was to determine whether the assumptions, conclusions, and recommendations contained in the original traffic impact study, as updated for Phase 2, remained valid. The updated traffic study was also required to indicate whether any additional local or Regional road improvements were required to accommodate Phase 2 development. Planning Staff are in receipt of a letter dated June 17, 2011 from the Region of Waterloo (Appendix D) which indicates that the required update to the Traffic Impact Study has been approved by the Region. Regional staff have confirmed after reviewing the report that the assumptions made in the original Traffic Impact Study for Phase 2 remain valid, and as such the Region has no objections to the removal of Holding Provision 57H for Phase 2. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications to the City. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Notice of the August 15, 2011 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee Meeting (public meeting) will be advertised in The Record on July 22, 2011 (see Appendix C). No neighbourhood circulation is required to remove a Holding Provision. ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN: The proposed zone change to lift the holding provision is required prior to the development of the subject site and will align with the Kitchener Strategic Plan as it ensures the implementation of the Development community priority with comprehensive redevelopment that is consistent with Provincial, Regional and City planning policies. CONCLUSION: Based on the foregoing, the Community Services Department recommends that Zone Change Application ZC11/006/T/GS for lands at 225 The Boardwalk be approved in the form shown in the Proposed By-law.
