On motion by Councillor K.

CSD-17-033 - UPDATE REPORT – ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC16/003/P/ATP - 11 PIONEER TOWER ROAD - DEFERRED FROM THE MARCH 6, 2017 COMMITTEE MEETING The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-17-033, dated March 15, 2017 recommending approval of Zone Change Application ZC16/003/P/APT (11 Pioneer Tower Road) for the purpose of changing the zoning at 11 Pioneer Tower Road to add ‘Health Clinic’ as a permitted use. In addition, the Committee was in receipt this date of previously approved Official Plan amendments and Secondary Plans for Pioneer Tower submitted by Mr. R. Vancerwerff. Ms. K. Anderl presented the Report, advising as directed by the Committee, City staff met with the applicant to revisit earlier site design concepts and examined how site features, including parking lot location and building and parking setbacks, may impact neighbouring properties. She noted a number of goals and requirements were considered by staff, including: preserving the residential character of the building, and ensuring any additions were designed in a consistent and complementary residential style; maintaining the residential character of the lot at the intersection of Baxter Place and Pioneer Tower Road; protecting and preserving vegetation on neighbouring lands and the subject lands; accommodating a building of approximately 300 sq.m. to meet the space needs of the applicant; achieving 20 on-site parking spaces to meet the expected requirements of the health clinic and avoid on-street parking; and, limiting and mitigating impacts to neighbouring property owners by incorporating appropriate screening, buffers and setbacks. She presented five site alternatives demonstrating options related to parking lot configurations, impacts to character and vegetation, setbacks, screening and buffering, and parking reduction. Ms. Anderl further advised the staff recommendation, as outlined in Community Services Department report CSD- 17-002 and circulated at the March 6, 2016 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee, remains unchanged unless it is Council’s wish to approve a varying site layout different than PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -14- CITY OF KITCHENER 2. CSD-17-033 - UPDATE REPORT – ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC16/003/P/ATP - 11 PIONEER TOWER ROAD - DEFERRED FROM THE MARCH 6, 2017 COMMITTEE MEETING (CONT’D) what was presented at that meeting. She indicated if a revised layout is approved, the proposed By-law would require amendments, noting if required, this could be prepared in advance of the April 24, 2017 Council meeting. Mayor B. Vrbanovic entered the meeting at this time. Mr. Scott Patterson, Labreche Patterson and Associates Inc., addressed the Committee on behalf of the applicant, advising the site layout presented at the March 6, 2016 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee is the applicant’s preferred design layout. He indicated since that meeting, the applicant has met with various City staff and, believes the application meets the 8 criteria outlined in the Official Plan and is appropriate for the subject property. He further advised the Residential status would be retained and the Special Use provision would allow for the proposed ‘Natural Health Clinic’ to exist. He indicated if it was Council’s wish, the applicant is amenable to the changes regarding the setbacks on the site and the parking reduction. He further advised the applicant does not support limiting the number of support staff for the health clinic. In response to questions, he stated 18 would be the minimum number of parking spaces the applicant would consider, noting anything less, and the property owner would have concerns with overflow parking onto adjacent properties. Mr. Mike Dienst addressed the Committee in opposition to the proposed Zone Change. He stated in his opinion, the proposed use is not compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and expressed concerns with the precedence that may be set by approving the subject application. Mr. Rinze Vanderwerff addressed the Committee in opposition to the subject application. He referenced his circulated materials, including: Official Plan 1984, Secondary Plan 1986 and Official Plan 2009, which all reference the restriction of access points on Baxter Place, noting the access proposed in the subject application is prohibited. Mr. Jim Fleming expressed opposition to the Zone Change, stating in his opinion, the proposed use would have a negative impact on the neighbourhood. He suggested the business will negatively impact an already congested intersection, and is not a good form of urban infill. Ms. Marisol Teijeiro, applicant, addressed the Committee in support of the subject application, advising as a resident of the subject community and has no intention of adversely impacting it. She indicated she has worked with City staff to find suitable solutions that are amenable to the concerns addressed by the neighbourhood. In response to questions, she advised she would be willing to reduce the number of off-street parking spaces from 20 to 18; however, 18 is the minimum number she would consider. She indicated patients would attend the clinic for a minimum 45 minute appointment, which does not take into consideration patients that attend the clinic to pick up prescriptions. She noted anything less than 18 spaces could potentially create overflow onto adjacent parking lots. Additionally, she advised her preference is to provide a health clinic in a home/residential type environment. She indicated she did not consider any of the commercial sites in the surrounding area as potential locations for her clinic, adding the location and type of the site is unique and would be a nice transition to the residential neighbourhood. Mr. John Wisenberg addressed the Committee in opposition to the Zone Change application. He expressed concerns with the Traffic Study prepared by Paradigm Transportation Solutions in support of the subject application, which states the business would have little to no impact on an intersection that is already rated poorly for congestion by the City’s Transportation Services Division. He further advised consideration has not been given to the additional traffic generated by the golf course in the summer months. He stated in his opinion, the application should be refused or deferred until an independent review of the Traffic Study could be completed. In response to questions, Ms. Anderl advised she could not comment on the overall impact on the neighbourhood pending the proposed clinics’ success. She stated in her opinion, this type PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -15- CITY OF KITCHENER 2. CSD-17-033 - UPDATE REPORT – ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC16/003/P/ATP - 11 PIONEER TOWER ROAD - DEFERRED FROM THE MARCH 6, 2017 COMMITTEE MEETING (CONT’D) of business is fairly compatible with low-rise residential. She indicated the site is unique due to its proximity to other commercial properties and that it has flankage on two separate streets. She indicated the subject property would provide a transition from the commercial space to the residential neighbourhood. She further advised staff are of the opinion there would be very little impact on the residential neighbourhood as the style and size of the building are relatively the same, and the traffic anticipated for the business is low. Questions were raised regarding the planning policy excerpts circulated and referenced by a delegation regarding the access on Baxter Place. Mr. Anderl advised those policies were addressed in the initial staff report regarding the subject application, noting they are in reference to commercial sites with higher traffic volumes. She stated there is still a prohibition in place to restrict access onto Baxter Place for sites designated as Commercial. She indicated the subject property is low-rise residential and the traffic volumes from the proposed business are minimal and would not be subject to the same restrictions. Questions were raised regarding the Traffic Study referenced by a delegation and whether consideration was given to the additional traffic generated by the golf course. Mr. D. Seller advised staff have not conducted any actual analysis on the traffic volumes generated from the golf course. He stated if consideration was given to the increased traffic when the golf course was open, the traffic generated by the proposed health clinic would have even less of an impact on the intersection approaching King Street East. Mr. J. Readman noted the applicant was not required to complete a Traffic Study in support of her application, adding neither the City nor the Region required the Study for consideration of the Zone Change application. He stated following the previous Committee meeting, the applicant opted to proceed with the Study as a means of providing additional support for the application. In response to concerns raised by the neighbours regarding precedence, Ms. Anderl advised each application must be considered on its own merit. She stated the subject property would serve a transition purpose when entering the subdivision between the existing commercial sites and the residential neighbourhood. A motion was brought forward by Councillor B. Ioannidis to approve the recommendation outlined in Report CSD-17-002 with the requirements as presented this date in ‘Site Layout – Option A3’, including a minimum setback of 6.0 metres from parking and drive aisles to the side lot line; and, a maximum of 18 parking spaces. The following motion was then voted on voted on and was Carriedon a recorded votewith Mayor B. Vrbanovic and Councillors B. Ioannidis, K. Galloway-Sealock, P. Singh, S. Marsh, S. Davey, voting in favour; and, Councillors D. Schnider, F. Etherington, Y. Fernandes, Z. Janecki and J. Gazzola voting in opposition. On motion by Councillor B. Ioannidis – it was resolved: “That Zoning By-law Amendment ZC16/003/P/ATP (Marisol Teijeiro) for the purpose of changing the zoning from Residential Two Zone (R-2) with Special Regulation Provision 233R to Residential Two Zone (R-2) with Special Regulation Provision 233R and Special Use Provision 459U, as outlined in Community Services Department report CSD-17-002, be approved in the form shown in “Site Layout – Option A3”, as presented at the April 3, 2017 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee meeting.” The Committee recessed at 7:38 p.m. and reconvened at 7:47 p.m., Chaired by Councillor P. Singh with all members present. Councillor P. Singh advised this is a formal public meeting to consider applications under the Planning Act. If a person or public body does not make oral or written submissions to the City of Kitchener before the proposed applications are considered, the person or public body may not be entitled to appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board and may not be added as a party to a hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board. PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -16- CITY OF KITCHENER 3. CSD-17-026 - OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT – OP15/01/A/GS - ZONE CHANGE ZC15/01/A/GS - 69 AMHERST DRIVE, OWL PROPERTIES INC. The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-17-026, dated February 7, 2017 recommending an Official Plan Amendment Application OP15/01/A/GS; and, Zone Change Application ZC15/01A/GS including Special Use Provisions for Owl Properties Inc., as well as a City declaration of surplus land and repeal of previously approved Block Plan 58. In addition, the Committee was in receipt this date of various written submissions provided to the Planning Division following the circulation of the agenda from residents, with some in support and some in opposition, to the subject application. Additionally, the Committee was in receipt this date of correspondence prepared by Ms. T. Palmer related to other student rental houses owned by the applicant. Mr. G. Stevenson presented the Report, advising that the applicant is proposing a 4.5 storey multi-residential student development, including a 3 bedroom supervisor unit, noting the site will have indoor and outdoor bicycle storage and indoor and outdoor amenities area. He indicated the applicant has indicated the proposed use of the development is intended for student housing and has agreed to permit these units to be licenced as lodging houses by the City and will therefore be subject to inspections. He stated there were a number of factors taken into consideration with the recommendation as outlined in the Report, including but not limited to: Conestoga College continued growth; housing demand marketed to students and inadequate supply; the City’s proactive Enforcement program in Lower Doon; the obligation to process development applications within 180 days; the new Official Plan permits for the proposed use and the zoning to be implemented through a Comprehensive Review of the Zoning By-law (CRoZBy) that will be complementary to the new Official Plan. Ms. Kristen Barsidale, GSP Group, addressed the Committee on behalf of the applicant in support of the staff recommendation. She provided a brief overview of the subject applications, demonstrating the appearance of the proposed development on the subject property. She noted there have been a number of proposals for the subject site since 2009, adding consideration of the surrounding neighbourhood was factored into the current proposal. She further advised student housing is in high demand around Conestoga College, stating since 2007 enrollment has increased by 50%. She noted the applicant is proposing to hire a permanent supervisor to live on-site to assist in elevating any concerns of the surrounding property owners with regards to the students. Mr. Daryl Howe-Jones addressed the Committee in opposition to the subject applications, noting he has concerns with the accuracy of some of the information contained within the staff report. He noted an increase of student housing is not justified, as the College has recently constructed two large high-rise buildings intended as student housing. He further advised he is not in opposition to development, and expressed support for the development proposed by Cook Homes on the neighbouring property fronting onto Pinnacle Drive. He stated in his opinion, the subject proposed development is not compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and does not maintain a number of criteria outlined in the R-6 Zone. Mr. Justin McLaughlin, Conestoga Students Inc., addressed the Committee in support of student housing initiatives that are safe, affordable and accessible to all students attending Conestoga College. Ms. Valerie James addressed the Committee in opposition to the subject applications, noting in her opinion, the neighbourhood already has a number of issues surrounding student rentals, including noise and vandalism and this development will only magnify those challenges. She expressed concerns with the size/massing of the buildings in the rear of the existing residential homes. Mr. Jerome James addressed the Committee in opposition to the subject applications. He expressed concerns with student housing that is not being supported or operated by the school it is intended to support. He stated in his opinion, Conestoga College should commit to appropriate student housing solutions that helps to manage students’ behaviour when residing away from home for the first time. PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -17- CITY OF KITCHENER 3. CSD-17-026 - OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT – OP15/01/A/GS - ZONE CHANGE ZC15/01/A/GS - 69 AMHERST DRIVE, OWL PROPERTIES INC. (CONT’D) Mr. Scott Murray addressed the Committee in opposition to the proposed development. He referenced the City’s Residential Intensification in Established Neighbourhoods Study (RIENS), adding in his opinion, the development cannot be considered appropriate infill. He stated the City has identified two studies to be completed in 2018 to address the housing challenges in Lower Doon, noting the proposed application should be deferred until such time as those studies can be completed. He added in his opinion, the density, parking and massing of the proposed development are not compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. He further advised on November 9, 2015 he submitted a petition to the City with 408 signatures in opposition to the proposed development. He stated the residents are in favour of dialoguing with the College to find a suitable solution to student housing; however, the community disagrees that the proposed development may alleviate the issues related to student housing. Ms. Barbara Thomas expressed opposition to the subject Official Plan amendment and Zone Change application, noting the proposal does not comply with the criteria outlined for the R-6 Zone. She indicated in her opinion, Lower Doon is a small heritage community and the proposed development is not compatible with the existing neighbourhood. She added the proposal outlines insufficient parking and setbacks and there are too many units being proposed for such a small area. Ms. Maggie Harding addressed the Committee in opposition to the subject applications, noting concerns with parking, student behaviours and safety for her children. She stated the newly constructed high-rise student rentals will be fully available in September 2017 and in her opinion, there may be no need for the proposed development. She expressed concerns the proposed development could turn their residential neighbourhood into a ghetto. Mr. Brock Wardell addressed the Committee in support of the subject applications, noting he resided in Lower Doon when he attended Conestoga College and it would be his goal to see safe and purpose-built student housing to improve the quality of life for the students and the neighbourhood. He stated he is in support of the initiative to improve and regulate the neighbourhood, including more regular inspections for student housing and property standards. He indicated there have been a number of development meetings in recent years which the neighbourhood attended in opposition, including the townhouse development on Pinnacle Drive, the Mill Club and the most recent bridge installation, adding all those developments exist this date. He stated in his opinion, the proposed development will assist to improve the issues raised by the area residents. Mr. Justin Kelly was in attendance in support of the subject application and the staff recommendation. He indicated he previously lived in a converted single detached dwelling while attending Conestoga College. He stated there are 162 single family residences in Lower Doon and from his research, 90% of those dwellings are rented to students. He indicated although the residents of the area are opposed, students are also entitled to clean and safe places to live. Ms. Louisa Stephenson attended in opposition to the Official Plan amendment and Zone change applications. She spoke to the heritage significance of Lower Doon and provided a summary of various properties that add to the significance of the area. She expressed concerns that Heritage Planning staff indicated they had no issues with the subject applications. She further advised in her opinion, modern planning should speak to the heritage of the area when considering development proposals, and the proposal outlined in the subject applications will take away from the heritage significance of the neighbourhood, potentially causing more permanent residents to move out, creating more opportunity for student housing. Ms. Mary Cunningham expressed opposition to the subject applications, noting the proposed development is too small to create a safe and healthy environment for student housing. She expressed concerns with the increase in single detached dwelling conversions in the community and how this is adversely impacting the neighbourhood. PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -18- CITY OF KITCHENER 3. CSD-17-026 - OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT – OP15/01/A/GS - ZONE CHANGE ZC15/01/A/GS - 69 AMHERST DRIVE, OWL PROPERTIES INC. (CONT’D) Ms. Caroline Taswell addressed the Committee in opposition to the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zone Change application. She stated in her opinion, the proposed development does not belong in a residential community. Ms. Terry Palmer attended in opposition to the subject applications. She referenced the information materials circulated to the Committee this date regarding other single detached dwellings the applicant owns within the community that he has converted into student housing properties. She indicated from the research she has completed, the applicant owns a minimum of seven properties within the area that he has converted to student housing, the majority without the necessary permits. She stated one unit located on Pinnacle Drive has recently been converted and has at least 10 bedrooms. She added in her opinion, the developer has not followed rules in the past and expressed concerns with the future of the proposed development. Mr. George Mann addressed the Committee in opposition to the staff recommendation. He stated in his opinion, the development is not compatible with the Official Plan. He indicated there are two Master Planning studies outlined in the City’s Business Plan, Lower Doon Land Use Review and Homer Watson/Conestoga College City Node Master Plan that should be completed prior to any major development applications being approved. He indicated the major issue in Lower Doon is not necessarily the students; rather, it is the absentee landlords. He suggested the community’s concerns have been ignored with regards to the proposed development. Mr. Jeffrey Beckner attended in opposition to the subject application. He stated the community in Lower Doon are collectively in opposition to the proposed development, adding in his opinion, the proposal would do a disservice to the current residents and the prospective students. Mr. Roman Szydloski expressed concerns with the proposed applications, noting he has been a resident of Lower Doon for over 25 years. He indicated Planning staff have attempted to assist the neighbourhood with student housing, referencing the moratorium on duplexing that was previously approved in an attempt to balance the population. He noted that was largely unsuccessful as there are approximately 200 homes in the area which have been converted into student housing that are unregulated and unlicensed. He stated more single detached dwellings are being converted to student housing, which are driving permanent residents from the area. He indicated in his opinion, the College has unlimited expansion abilities and has an inadequate amount of student housing options, adding every year is different depending on the type of students that move into the surrounding rentals, but the cycle is revolving and some years are miserable. The Committee recessed at 9:33 p.m. and reconvened at 9:40 a.m., chaired by Councillor P. Singh with all members present. Questions were raised regarding the seven student housing properties mentioned by a delegation that are possibly owned by the applicant and whether they were converted without the required permits. Mr. A. Pinard agreed to examine that matter and provide information in advance of the April 24, 2017 Council meeting. In response to questions regarding lodging houses, Mr. Stevenson advised staff have knowledge of all legal lodging housing within Lower Doon. He noted in regards to other possible lodging houses, staff are currently working with the College to implement a voluntary inspection program for any students identifying their residence with the College. If an inspection request is made there is a greater opportunity for staff to receive permission to enter and address any issues related to the dwelling. Mr. May agreed that staff could provide further information on lodging houses prior to the April 24, 2017 Council meeting. Questions were raised about the possibility of deferring the application until such time as the Master Planning studies currently identified for 2018 are complete. Mr. Stevenson advised PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -19- CITY OF KITCHENER 3. CSD-17-026 - OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT – OP15/01/A/GS - ZONE CHANGE ZC15/01/A/GS - 69 AMHERST DRIVE, OWL PROPERTIES INC. (CONT’D) under the Planning Act, staff have a requirement to give due process to any applications that are submitted. He indicated the applicant would also have the ability to appeal the applications due to a lack of decision. He stated the application was received in 2015 and are already beyond the 180 days prescribed by the Act to render a decision. He further advised the results of the Master Plan studies are unknown and may not freeze Lower Doon in its current state. Councillor S. Davey noted the applicant has agreed to a number of concessions included in the staff recommendation. He questioned what may happen to those concessions if the applications go to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Mr. M. May advised any concessions gained to date from the applicant may be lost. He noted the one concession of greatest concerns to staff would be related to the lodging house status that would require the applicant to obtain a licence and be subject to annual inspections. Councillor S. Davey indicated he has further questions that would need to be asked in-camera prior to being able to dispense with this matter. Mayor B. Vrbanovic requested clarification on what the applicant would be permitted to constructed if the recommendation was refused this date. Mr. Stevenson advised the existing property has an approved Block Plan that would allow the applicant to construct 24 single detached dwellings and 12 semi-detached units without any further approvals. He noted the applicant would also not require Site Plan control, as that requirement is only imposed if the development is a triplex or larger. Councillor Y. Fernandes noted a number of the delegations mentioned the heritage of Lower Doon and questioned whether there was any consideration to designating the area a Cultural Hertiage Landscape (CHL). Mr. Stevenson noted Heritage Planning staff have given some consideration on whether the area may meet the criteria as a CHL, but nothing is in place as of this date. He further advised Heritage Planning staff reviewed and provided comments on the subject application. Questions were raised regarding purpose-built student housing and whether it was more appropriate from a planning perspective. Mr. Stevenson stated purpose-built student housing is more appropriate than converted single detached dwellings. He stated staff reached out to the City of London and the City of Waterloo to receive feedback on purpose-built student housing and anecdotally they both indicated it has made improvements to the community, with some student housing being converted back into single detached dwellings. He further advised in both those cities, staff indicated students prefer newer developments offering better amenities. On motion by Councillor D. Schnider – it was resolved: “That an in-camera meeting of Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee be held this date to consider a matter subject to solicitor-client privilege involving the disposition of the subject applications.” The Committee recessed at 10:06 p.m. and reconvened at 10:26 p.m., chaired by Councillor P. Singh with all members present. On motion by Councillor B. Ioannidis – it was resolved: “That pursuant to Section 25.4.11 of Chapter 25 (Council Procedure) of the Municipal Code, the proceedings of the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee this date shall be allowed to continue beyond 11:00 p.m. to conclude matters as listed on the agenda.” Councillor Y. Fernandes brought forward a motion to approve the recommendation contained in Report CSD-17-026. PLANNING & STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE MINUTES APRIL 3, 2017 -20- CITY OF KITCHENER 3.
