SUBJECT:NAMING OF PRIVATE STREETS
114-120 Victoria Street South
114-120 Victoria Street South Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Kitchener acknowledge that 114-120 Victoria Street South Inc. proposes to
name private streets within the proposed mixed use development located at 114-120 Victoria
Street South; and
,
preparation and registration of the necessary By-law(s) for the naming of the private streets.
REPORT:
In December of 2017, the subject lands received Site Plan approval in principle for a six storey office
addition to the former Huck Glove cultural heritage building. This is part of a larger mixed use
redevelopment of the lands comprised of a six storey office complex as well as a 25 storey mixed
use building with 300 residential units. In order to receive final site plan approval, in lieu of a Multiple
Unit Identification Sign at the entrance to the site, the applicant must fulfill a condition to obtain
Council approval for a private street name.
Staff is of the opinion that in order to improve emergency services response and overall wayfinding
onlarge-scale developments such as this one, private streets should be named by Council. The
applicant agrees with the naming of the street and has embraced this approach in the interests of
the overall development.
Aprivate street naming process was established several years ago and has been successfully
implemented at Sportsworld Crossing on King Street East, at The Boardwalk on Ira Needles
Boulevard, and at Victoria Commons (1 Adam Street).In addition, naming the private streets
eliminates the need for large Multiple Unit Identification Signs at the two entrances to the site off of
Bramm Street.
The Region and a number of internal departments were circulated on the private street naming
request and no concerns were raised.
