The owner is also proposing to amend the Zoning By-law by adding a Special Regulation Provision, to permit a maximum FSR of 0.9. Staff recommends that the proposed Official Plan Amendment be adopted and accordingly forwarded to the Region of Waterloo for approval, and that the proposed Zone Change be approved. 3 - 1 RECOMMENDATION: A. That Official Plan Amendment Application OP13/01/D/MD for 689 Doon Village Road requesting a change in designation from Low Rise Residential to Low Rise Residential with Special Policy 50 to permit a maximum floor space ratio of 0.9 and a maximum height of 4 storeys at street elevation for the existing 17-unit Schedule A be adopted, in the form shown in the Official Plan Amendment attached to Report CSD-13-032 as Appendix A, and accordingly forwarded to the Region of Waterloo for approval; AND FURTHER, B.That Zone ChangeApplication ZC13/01/D/MDfor 689Doon Village Road requesting a change from Residential Six Zone (R-6)toResidential Six Zone (R-6) with Special Regulation Provision 641Rto permit a maximum floor space ratio of be approved-March 27,2013 attached to Report CSD-13-032asB. BACKGROUND: The subject land is located at 689 Doon Village Road.The owner applied for site plan approval in September 2011 and during the review of the application staff identified the need for three By-law. The owner applied for the minor variances in November 2011 to permit a reduced front yard setback, side yard abutting a street setback and barrier free parking space setback. The minor variances were approved with no appeals. The site plan was approved and the building permit was issued in August 2012 to permit the construction of the existing 17-unit three storey multiple dwelling with an unfinished attic. Please see Appendix F for a photograph of the existing building known as 689 Doon Village Road. The owner is proposing to convert six one bedroom units into larger two storey three bedroom units with the second storey of each unit being located within the currently unfinished attic. The owner was advised that the proposed conversion would require an Official Plan Amendment in order to increase the floor space ratio and the maximum building height in storeys. The owner was also advised that aZone Change would be required in order to increase the floor space ratio. The owner applied for a minor variance in November 2012 to permit a floor space ratio of 0.9. Staff recommended refusal because the appropriate process to request an increase in floor space ratio is an Official Plan Amendment andZone Change application. The minor variance was refused. The owner has appealed the decision of the Committee of Adjustment regarding the minor variance to the Ontario Municipal Board. The owner has agreed to pursue a resolution through the appropriate planning process with the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change. As a result, the owner has submitted an Official Plan Amendment to permit a maximum floor space ratio of 0.9 and a maximum height of 4 storeys at street elevation for the existing building. The owner has also submitted a Zone Change to permit a maximum floor space ratio of 0.9. REPORT: Existing Building The existing building was constructed with a large attic, which is considered as an architectural feature. The top side of the third floor ceiling (proposed fourth floor) is the existing unfinished attic. 3 - 2 Since there is no building floor area on the proposed fourth floor, the unfinished attic is not included in the floor space ratio calculation. The unfinished attic is also not considered a storey. The owner was required, through the Site Plan process, to install windows in the attic space in order to enhance the architecture of the building and to improve the appearance of the mansard roofline. The existing total building floor area is permitted in the Residential Six Zone (R-6); however, the exterior appearance, in terms of size and mass, resembles a building that exceeds the floor space ratio. Although there are no physical changes to the existing building, the policies in the Official Plan are clear. Habitation of the fourth floor increases the total building floor area, resulting in a floor space ratio of 0.9. Habitation of the fourth floor also means that the building would technically be four stories at street elevation (Corner of Doon Village Road and Pioneer Drive).While the building height meets technical regulations, habitation of the attic spaces result in one additional storey. Although unusual, the proposed interior changes will result in a building that does not meet the general intent of the policies of the OP. As a result, an Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change are required. Proposed Official Plan Amendment The current land use designation on the subject lands is Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan. This designation permits multiple dwellings with a maximum floor space ratio of 0.6 and a maximum building height of three storeys at street elevation.The owner has proposed to add a Special Policy to the subject land to permit the proposed increase in floor space ratio from 0.6 to 0.9 and to permit the proposed increase in the number of storeys at street elevation from 3 to 4. The increased floor space ratio and number of storeys will enable the owner to convert the unfinished attic to building floor area in order to increase the size of six of the existing 17 units. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed increase in floor space ratio and number of storeys is appropriate for the use of the land and is compatible with the surrounding area. No new units are proposed and the existing building mass is not changing. Furthermore, no changes are required for the on-site facilities (e.g. access, parking, amenity area, landscaping, etc.) approved through the Site Plan process. The proposed amendment is in keeping with the general intent of the Regional Official Policies Plan and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement with respect to housing supply and residential intensification by providing a range of unit sizes at an overall low intensity of use in close proximity to transit and amenities. Staff recommend that the proposed Official Plan Amendment report be adopted by Council and forwarded to the Region of Waterloo for approval. Proposed Zone Change The subject land is currentlyzoned Residential Six Zone (R-6), which permits a variety of low rise residential uses, including multiple dwellings with a maximum floor space ratio of 0.6.The owner has proposed to add a Special Regulation Provision to the subject land to permit the proposed increase in floor space ratio from 0.6 to 09. The increased floor space ratio will enable the owner to convert the unfinished attic to building floor area in order to increase the size of six of the existing 17 units. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed increase in floor space ratio is appropriate for the use of the land and is compatible with the surrounding area.Similar to the Official Plan Amendment, no 3 - 3 new units are proposed and the existing building mass is not changing. No changes are required for the on-site facilities (e.g. access, parking, amenity area, landscaping, etc.) approved through the Site Plan process. The proposed Zone Change is in keeping with the general intent of the Official Plan, Regional Official Policies Plan, and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement with respect to housing supply and residential intensification by providing a range of unit sizes at an overall low intensity of use in close proximity to transit and amenities. Staff recommend that the proposed Zone Change approved by Council. Provincial and Regional Policy Considerations 2005 Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to development and land use planning.The PPS promotes building liveable communities through the efficient development of lands and appropriate mix of land uses, housing types and densities. The PPS also directs planning authorities to identify and promote opportunities for intensification where it can be accommodated by taking into account the existing building stock, area and availability of existing infrastructure and public service facilities. The proposed Official Plan Amendment andZone Change represent an intensification opportunity in the built-up area of the City to accommodate a mix of unit sizes within an existing building. The proposal makes efficient use of the land and existing infrastructure. The subject land is serviced by a regular bus route on Doon Village Road as well as an extended evening and weekend bus route on Pioneer Drive. The property is within 500 metres of the neighbourhood mixed use centre located at the intersection of Homer Watson Boulevard and Doon Village Road. The property is also located in close proximity to parks and schools. For these reasons, the proposed Official Plan Amendment andZone Change are consistent with the PPS. 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) provides policy direction on growth, infrastructure and resource protection. The Growth Plan directs growth to built-up areas; promotes transit-supportive densities; encourages a mix of uses, including a range and mix of housing types; calls for building compact, vibrant and complete communities; and, optimizes the use of existing infrastructure. The subject land is within the built-up area and located in close proximity to transit, a neighbourhood mixed use centre, and infrastructure. For these reasons, the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change are consistent with the Growth Plan. Regional Official Policies Plan and Regional Official Plan The subject land is designated City Urban Area in the Regional Official Policies Plan (ROPP). The ROPP provides policy direction on managing development. The ROPP directs growth to built-up areas and encourages the creation of compact, mixed use communities that support more 3 - 4 more efficient use of transit and other municipal infrastructure and services. The ROPP also encourages a full range of housing types and densities through infill, conversion and redevelopment where infrastructure is in place. The subject land is also designated City Urban Area in the Regional Official Plan (ROP) approved in June 2009 but currently under appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. The ROP provides policy direction on managing growth. The ROP directs growth to existing built-up areas to make better use of land, existing infrastructure, community infrastructure and human services. The ROP also encourages the creation of compact, vibrant and complete communities that are walkable and provide a good mix of employment, housing, shopping and service needs. The subject land is in the built-up area and located in close proximity to transit, a neighbourhood mixed use centre, and infrastructure. For these reasons, the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change are consistent with the ROPP and ROP. Municipal Policy Considerations City of Kitchener Official Plan The current land use designation on the subject lands is Low Rise Residential in the Official Plan (OP). This designation permits multiple dwellings with a maximum floor space ratio of 0.6 and a maximum building height in storeys at street elevation of 3. The designation is intended to accommodate a full range of housing types by mixing and integrating different forms of housing in order to achieve an overall low intensity of use. The general housing policies of the OP encourage the City to identify and promote opportunities for residential intensification and redevelopment as a cost-effective means to reduce infrastructure and servicing costs and to minimize land consumption. The general housing policies also encourage the creation of additional housing in existing developed areas, through conversion, infill, and redevelopment as an appropriate response to changing housing needs and to make better use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities. Furthermore, the general housing policies outline criteria for infill development in existing neighbourhoods requiring new buildings to be compatible, in terms of mass and scale, with the built form and character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The subject land contains an existing building. The owner is proposing to convert the currently unfinished attic space within the existing building in order to expand six one bedroom units into larger two storey three bedroom units with the second storey of each unit being located within the attic. The mass, scale and built form of the building will not change.For these reasons, the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change are consistent with the OP. Kitchener Growth Management Strategy, 2009 The Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS) helps to ensure that growth is managed effectively and that the City achieves the required density and intensification targets, while accomplishing the desired built form and function which will enhance quality of life. The Growth Management Plan is based on the principle that maximizing the use of existing infrastructure is preferred and that planning for and implementing intensification is also a high priority. The subject land will be intensified by converting the unfinished attic space within the existing building in order to create larger units, thus providing a mix of unit sizes. The building uses the 3 - 5 existing infrastructure. No exterior changes to the built form or on-site facilities are required. For these reasons, the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change are consistent with the KGMS. Other Materials and Information Planning Justification Brief A Planning Justification Brief prepared by GSP Group dated December 2012 was submitted to support the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change applications. The Brief provides a rationale for the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Change. The Brief concludes that the proposed increased floor space ratio and increased maximum building height in storeys at street elevation is in keeping with the general intent of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan for the Greater Go Official Plan. Staff agree with the conclusions of this Brief. Agency Comments Commenting agencies and City departments have no concerns with the Official Plan Amendment andZone Change. Comments have been addressed through the application process. A summary of these comments can be fou. Public Comments As a result of the preliminary circulation of the Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change applications, staff received written comments from eleven members of the community. The concerns raised generally include: density, height, landscaping, parking, safety, traffic, on-street parking and noise. Concerns were also raised with respect to previous planning processes/applications on the site. Density Several property owners raised concerns with the t land and the surrounding neighbourhood. The Official Plan designates the subject land and much of the surrounding neighbourhood as Low Rise Residential. A variety of zones implement the Low Rise Residential designation, including the Residential Six Zone (R-6), which is applied to the subject land along with lands to the east and south as well as the Residential Three Zone (R-3), which is applied to lands to the west and north. The existing and proposed density on the subject land is consistent with the Official Plan and complies with the R-6 zone. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change will not change the density of the subject land. Height Several residents raised concerns with the overall height of the building. The Residential Six Zone(R-6) permits a maximum building height of 10.5 metres. The Zoning By-law defines as the vertical distance between the highest finished grade level at the perimeter of the building and the uppermost point of the building. The subject land features significant grade changes between the front yard (Pioneer Drive) and the rear yard. Based on the definition, the existing building complies with the maximum building height of 10.5 metres. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change will not change the height of the existing building. 3 - 6 Landscaping A few residents expressed concerns with the number of trees on the subject land. As part of the Site Plan process, the owner was required to submit a landscape plan in accordance with the Cit as well as funds to ensure implementation. A landscape plan was submitted and approved. A letter of credit was provided. Some components of the landscape plan have been completed while others remain outstanding likely due to weather conditions. The City will not release the letter of credit until the full landscape plan is implemented. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Changes will not change the landscaping requirements for the subject land. Parking Several property owners expressed concerns with the number of parking spaces on the subject land. In particular, property owners were concerned that the number of parking spaces would result in increased on-street parking. Parking spaces are required based on the number and size of residential dwelling units. The existing 17 unit multiple dwelling requires a total of 14 spaces, including 1 barrier free parking space and 2 visitor parking spaces. Fourteen parking spaces are provided on the approved Site Plan. No additional parking spaces are required because no new residential dwelling units are proposed. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change will not change the parking requirements for the subject land. Safety A few residents expressed concerns with fire safety on the fourth floor. The conversion of the unfinished attic to building floor area will require the submission and issuance of a building permit. All building code and fire code requirements will be addressed through the building permit and inspection process. Traffic Several residents expressed concern with increased traffic resulting from the conversion of the unfinished attic to building floor area. Transportation Services staff were initially consulted during the 2011 minor variance process. At that time, Transportation Services staff expressed no concerns with the proposed variance. Transportation Services staff were subsequently consulted during the Site Plan process. At that time, Transportation Services staff approved the access and parking layout and required standard conditions relating to emergency, fire route and traffic signs. Transportation Services staff had no concerns with traffic generation based on the number of units. Transportation Services staff were also consulted during the 2012 minor variance process. At that time, Transportation Services staff expressed no concerns with the proposed variance. Finally, Transportation Services staff were consulted during the current Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change process. Transportation Services staff have advised that they have no concerns as no additional unit are being proposed. On-street Parking Several property owners expressed concerns with the number of vehicles parking on the streets in the neighbourhood and the belief that the numbers will increase with the conversion of the unfinished attic space to building floor area. Vehicles that choose to park on the street are -law. Vehicles that park in areas where parking is prohibited or beyond the maximum posted time limits may be ticketed. Concerns with illegal on- -law Enforcement staff. 3 - 7 Noise A few property owners expressed concerns with the noise levels in the subdivision. Noise is regulate -law Enforcement staff. ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN: The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change will allow for the intensification of the property by providing a range of unit sizes at an overall low intensity of use in close proximity to transit and amenities. This aligns with theKitchener Strategic Plan as it ensures the implementation of the community priority -. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: No new or additional capital budget requests are expected with this recommendation. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: The proposed Official Plan Amendment andZone Change were circulated to City departments, commenting agencies and property owners within 120 metres of the subject land as per Planning Act requirements in January 2013. A copy of all department/agency comments are attached as Appendix C to this report. Ten written comments were received from the public in response to the circulation. Copies of the written comments are attached as Appendix to this report. Notice signs were placed on the subject land advising of the applications and a meeting was held on March 20, 2013 with members of the public who submitted written comments. Six members of the public attended the meeting. Planning staff provided information in response to the written comments at the meeting. Planning staff also responded to questions at the meeting. The written comments have been addressed in the Public Comments section of this report. Information regarding the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee meeting date was circulated to all property owners who responded in writing, by email or attended the March 20, 2013 meeting. Notice of the Public Meeting, attached as Appendix to this report, will be given in The Record on April 12, 2013. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the subject land contains an existing building, which is within a built-up area; located in close proximity to transit, commercial uses, parks and schools; and, serviced by existing infrastructure. The existing building is considered compatible with the low rise development in the neighbourhood. The owner is proposing to increase the size of existing units. No additional units are proposed. No additions to the existing building are proposed. The proposed increase to the size of the unit through the addition of larger rooms and/or the number of rooms is not regulated by the Planning Act. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and ZoneChange are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and the Regional Official Policies Plan. Based on the foregoing, the Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change are considered appropriate. Staff consider this good planning and recommend that Official Plan 3 - 8 Amendment application OP13/01/D/MD be adopted by Council and forwarded to the Region of Waterloo for approval and that Zone Change application ZC13/01/D/MD be approved by Council.
