6.a. Zone Change Application — 1054 and 1070 Hidden Valley Road
Council was in receipt this date of a petition signed by approximately 100 residents of the Hidden
Valley area expressing support for the staff recommendation to refuse Official Plan Amendment
OP15 /04 /H /AP and Zone Change Application ZC /014AP proposing the development of 40 executive
townhomes at 1054 and 1070 Hidden Valley Road; listed as Clause 2 on the Planning and Strategic
Initiatives Committee report.
In addition, Council was in receipt of email correspondence from Mr. C. Goodeve, Manager, Council /
Committee Services & Deputy City Clerk, dated June 24, 2016, which outlined a request from Mr.
Danny Sack, Applicant, for Council to consider deferring the subject applications to allow time for
additional consultation with City Planning staff.
Ms. Louisette Lanteigne addressed Council in opposition to the subject Official Plan Amendment and
Zone Change applications. She provided a copy of a Part II Order she filed with the Ministry of the
Environment and Climate Change requesting a "bump up" of protections for endangered species,
groundwater and surface water features in the Hidden Valley area. She suggested any future
development applications in this area should have regard for the identified ecological constraints.
Mr. Brandon Flewwelling, GSP Group, attended on behalf of the Applicant and confirmed the request
for a deferral to allow for further discussions with the City's Planning staff. Responding to questions,
he indicated the deferral would provide an opportunity to examine the feasibility of all options for
developing the subject properties. He commented this may possibly include revising the proposal to
seek a change to R2 Zoning, which would permit the existing lands to be potentially developed into 8
or 9 single detached units. He acknowledged support for having the matter come back in September
2016.
Ms. Ruth Hildebrand addressed Council in support of the Official Plan Amendment and Zone Change
applications, suggesting the proposed 40 unit townhouse development would provide a greater diversity
of housing options within the existing monoculture neighbourhood of large single detached lots. She
added this new housing choice would provide an opportunity for a greater number of people to live in the
Hidden Valley Community.
Mr. Peter Kruse spoke in favour of the staff recommendation to refuse the construction of 40 cluster
townhouse dwellings on Hidden Valley Road. He commented the proposed development is not in
keeping with the existing community. He expressed opposition to the possibility of this matter being
deferred, suggesting the property owner should withdraw the current application and submit a new
one seeking to develop 8 units with R2 Zoning.
In response to questions, Mr. M. May, Deputy CAO - Community Services, confirmed changes to the
existing application between now and September could be significant enough to warrant a new
application from the Applicant which would require additional fees of approximately $18,000.
On motion by Councillor P. Singh, seconded by Councillor B. loannidis, Clause 2 of the Planning and
Strategic Initiatives Committee report was brought forward for consideration.
A motion was brought forward by Councillor B. loannidis, seconded by Councillor Y. Fernandes, to
defer consideration of Clause 2 to allow more time for consultation between the Applicant and staff.
