Subject Properties:100 Cress Lane RECOMMENTATION: That Demolition Control Application DC111121C/GS requesting permission to demolish a single detached dwelling at 100 Cress Lane, owned by Shelane Properties Inc., be approved without conditions. 3-1 1 Staff Report I~`r~.x~,ivER CommunityServicesDepartment www.kitchenerta BACKGROUND: The Planning Division has received an application requesting the demolition of a single detached dwelling located at 100 Cress Lane. The property is currently zoned as Heavy Industrial (M-4) and designated as Heavy Industrial in the City's Official Plan (OP). The Owner is applying for Demolition Control permission in order to prepare the site for the future redevelopment of the property with an industrial use. The Owner has indicated that the existing building is not habitable and is poor condition. REPORT: The property is currently zoned as Heavy Industrial Zone (M-4) and designated as Heavy Industrial in the OP. The current zoning permits a dwelling unit only as an accessory use to another permitted use on the property and does not permit single detached dwellings. The existing single detached dwelling is legal non-conforming. The existing zoning and the surrounding land uses favour heavy industrial uses rather than residential development. Properties designated as Heavy Industrial is the OP allow for uses that are not permitted in other industrial areas because they may be obnoxious due to vibration, noise, emission or odour. The OP also states that areas identified as Heavy Industrial should be separated from residential areas due to the possibility of adverse affects. Internal Circulation Comments: Preliminary circulation of the demolition control application was undertaken from August 12, 2011 to September 9, 2011 to all applicable internal departments. All comments that were received from internal departments are attached (Appendix B). There were no objections to the proposed demolition. Planning Analysis: Staff are of the opinion that the proposed demolition is appropriate to implement the future redevelopment of the property with an industrial use. The existing single detached dwelling is in poor condition and has not been maintained for almost 40 years. The Heavy Industrial OP designation and Heavy Industrial zoning support the redevelopment of the property with a more compatible industrial use. ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN: The proposed demolition is required prior to the redevelopment of the subject site and will align with the Kitchener Strategic Plan as it ensures the implementation of the community priority "Development'; with comprehensive redevelopment that is consistent with Provincial, Regional and City planning policies. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No new or additional capital budget requests are expected with this recommendation. 3-2 1 Staff Report I~`r~.x~,ivER CommunityServicesDepartment www.kitchenerta COMMUNITY ENGAGMENT: Preliminary circulation of the demolition control application was undertaken to all property owners within 60 metres as no new residential development is proposed. No comments were received. All property owners within 60 metres of the subject property will receive notice of the date of the Committee meeting dealing with this demolition control application for information purposes. CONCLUSION: Planning staff have considered this application and are of the opinion that the proposed demolition is justified as the removal of the existing single detached dwelling is required to redevelop the subject lands with a more appropriate industrial use.
