SUBJECT AREA ~2F `G ma ~~ ~G O Subject Property: The Boardwalk RECOMMENDATION: That Zone Change Application ZC12/13/T/JVW (The Boardwalk, The INCC Corp.) to remove Holding Provision 58H be approved in the form shown in the attached "Proposed By-law" dated August 13, 2012, attached to Report CSD-12-107 as Appendix A. 2-1 REPORT: The subject lands are located at The Boardwalk. These lands are part of a new commercial development on Ira Needles Boulevard. The applicant is proposing to change the zoning on the lands for the purpose of removing a holding provision. Holding Provision 58H was placed on the property at the request of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. It required the Owner to submit an updated Traffic Impact Study to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo following the construction and occupancy of Phases 1 and 2 on the City of Kitchener portion of the site, and required the approval of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo prior to proceeding to the development of Phase 3. The proposed zone change relates to the lands within the City of Kitchener only. 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 3, remained valid. The updated traffic study was also required to indicate whether any additional local or Regional road improvements were required to accommodate Phase 3 development. Planning Staff is in receipt of a letter dated July 5, 2012 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 58H for Phase 3. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications to the City. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Notice of the August 13, 2012 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee Meeting (public meeting) will be advertised in The Record on July 20, 2012 (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: The Region of Waterloo has approved the required Traffic Impact Study. As a result, Holding provision 58H is no longer required for the subject lands at the Boardwalk. Based on the foregoing, the Community Services Department recommends that Zone Change Application ZC12/13/T/JVW be approved in the form shown in the Proposed By-law.
