of the dwellings, demolition is being proposed. Demolition Control will be required in addition to
a demolition permit as the proposed development of semi-detached dwellings requires the
demolition of the existing housing stock. Surrounding land use consists primarily of low rise
single and semi-detached dwellings and an apartment building is located on the opposite side of
Mt. Hope Street.
A site inspection occured on October 25, 2017.
Street View (above) & Rear View (below) of Subject Properties
The owner is proposing to sever a portion of 101 Mt. Hope Street measuring 3.08 metres wide,
27.4 metres long, with a lot area of approximately 84.5 square metres, and add it as a lot
addition to 105 Mt. Hope Street. This will result in both properties having in excess of 15 metres
of frontage.
The application is proposed so that each property can be redeveloped with semi-detached
dwellings as permitted by the R-5 zoning. To that end, staff has been working with the applicant
to ensure that a compatible and complimentary form of semi-detached dwelling is erected, while
conserving as many of the on-site trees as practically possible. There will be conditions of
approval imposed that speak to these requirements and staff is recommending that these be

fulfilled prior to finalizing the lot addition. It is further expected the owner will be applying for a
future severance application in order to divide the properties into two separate parcels of land in
order to legally convey each half of a semi-detached dwelling. Minor variances may also be
required at that time in order to implement a preferred building location and severance plans.
Lot Addition
With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51 (24) of the Planning
Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, the proposed lot addition will result in lot sizes that are appropriate
and suitable for the proposed use and are consistent with the surrounding lotting fabric, the
lands front on an established public street, and adequate utilities and municipal services are
available.
The properties designated as Low Rise Conservation in the KW Hospital Secondary Plan, are
proposed to be redeveloped with semi-detached dwellings which are compatible with the low
rise and low density residential character of the neighbourhood. Semi-detached dwellings are a
permitted use within the Residential Five Zone (R-5). The proposed lot addition will result in a
more uniform lot configuration, and building location and elevation plans will be required prior to
final approval to ensure compatibility in height and scale. This requirement is consistent with
the Official Plan. Section 4C1.7 of the Official Plan authorizes the City to request plans and
building drawings that demonstrate a proposal is compatible in regards to built form,
architectural design, landscaping or buffering.
Heritage Comments:
Heritage Planning staff has no concerns with the application.
The Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study (CHLS) dated December 2014 and prepared
by The Landplan Collaborative Ltd. was approved by Council in 2015. The CHLS serves to
establish an inventory. The CHLS was the first step of a phased cultural heritage landscape
(CHL) conservation process. The owner of the properties municipally addressed as 101 and 105
Mount Hope Street is advised that the properties are located within the Gildner Neighbourhood
CHL. The owner(s) will be consulted as the City considers listing CHLs on the Municipal
Heritage Register, identifying CHLs in the Official Plan and preparing action plans for each CHL
with specific conservation options. Please contact Michelle Drake, Senior Heritage & Policy
Planner, for more information.
Staff notes that the subject properties are located within the KW Hospital Secondary Plan. The
City will be commencing a secondary plan review in 2018. The land use and zoning of the
properties are subject to change. For more information, please contact Michelle Drake, Senior
Heritage & Policy Planner, by phone (519-741-2200 ext. 7839) or by email
(michel le.drake(o)kitchener.ca).
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent provided the demolition permit for
101 Mount Hope St is obtained. Region of Waterloo and Area Municipalities' Design Guidelines
and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal Services (DGSSMS) allows only one service per
lot. Should a severance be approved, additional services will be required for severed lot. Separate
building permit(s) will also be required for the construction of the new semi-detached dwellings.

I R Community Services Department wm kitcheneua
Transportation Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed severance and notes that the
driveway visibility triangles of 4.57 metres must be maintained for the retained and severed
portions.
Engineering Comments:
Engineering has no comments or concerns with the lot addition.
Community Services Comments:
Park land dedication is not required as the proposed severance will not create a new
developable lot.
Environmental Planning Comments:
As a condition of approval, the owners must enter into agreement on both the severed and
retained parcels to complete, get approval of, and implement a Tree Preservation/
Enhancement Plan prior to issuance of building permit.

Plan of Subdivision 58M-569 of Part of Lot 13, Biehn's Tract (Rockcliffe Drive)
Community Planning
The Region's concerns regarding the subject lands have previously been addressed
through the subdivision application 30T-98201 Stage 5a, registered as 58M-569
December 12, 2013.
Staff notes the intent of the above applications is to create 6 lots from previous 5 lots
and adjust the lot lines accordingly. For clarification it must be noted that that new
Municipal Nos. 11, 7, 5 would be subject to conditions as previously applicable to Lots 3
& 4 in the original subdivision agreement; and new Municipal No. 3 (corner lot) would be
subject conditions as previously applicable to Lot 5 in the original subdivision agreement
with the City (WR791465 November 26, 2013). It is anticipated that based on the final
lots configuration the Municipal No. 11 being partially on lands of the original lot 3 in the
approved subdivision; for purpose of the noise study, a revision to the original
subdivision agreement may not be required.
Due to minor adjustments of the lot lines as shown on the Figure 6 -Ultimate Lotting, an
update / addendum to the final noise study dated revised February 2014 as accepted
by the Region's letter dated April 08, 2014 will not be required for the above
applications.
