REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Weichel Street and Victoria Street South in the
Victoria Hills Planning Community. The lands are undeveloped. The lands are designated Low Rise
Residential in the 2014 Official Plan and are zoned R-6 in the Zoning By-law. The surrounding area is
composed of a variety of low density residential land uses, including, for example, single detached
dwellings and low rise apartments. Planning staff visited the site on June 25, 2018.
*** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. ***
Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance.
In May / June 2018, the applicant submitted 3 consent applications to create 3 new lots (a total of 4
resultant lots). As part of the review, the Region provided comments indicating that access to the retained
lot (which had frontage only on Victoria Street) would not be permitted from Victoria Street South due to
deficient sight distance visibility (i.e., a traffic safety issue). Accordingly, the Region stated that the
retained lot was not functional. Consequently, Planning staff stated that it could not support the
application and since all 3 applications related to each other, none of the applications could be supported.
Planning staff contacted the applicant on June 6, 2018 and discussed options for the severance of the
lands, including the possibility of eliminating the retained lot in favour of deeper lots fronting Weichel
Street, which Planning staff said would require the applicant to withdraw the applications and submit new
applications. At the Committee meeting of July 17, 2018, the Committee deferred the application at the
request of the applicant. The applicant has now revised applications B2018-048 and B2018-049, and
withdrawn application B2018-050, in order to undertake this approach and eliminate the sight distance
visibility issue.
Amended Consent Applications B2018-048 and B2018-049 now propose:
• Severed Lot 1: To create a lot for a semi-detached dwelling with an approximate width of 15
metres, a depth ranging between 37.13 metres and 38.06 metres, and an area of 548.5 square
metres, with frontage on Weichel Street
• Severed Lot 2: To create a lot for a semi-detached dwelling with an approximate width of 15
metres, a depth ranging between 38.06 metres and 38.99 metres, and an area of 562.1 square
metres, with frontage on Weichel Street
• Retained Lands: That the retained lot would be used for single detached or duplex or multiple
residential purposes, and have an approximate width of 17.97 metres on Weichel Street, a depth
ranging between 38.99 metres and 40.78 metres, and an area of 771.3 square metres, with
frontage on both Weichel Street and Victoria Street South.
No minor variances are required in order to facilitate the subject consent applications since all three
resultant lots would comply with the Zoning By-law.
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 uses of both the severed and retained parcels conform to the City's Official Plan, the
dimensions and shapes of the proposed lots are appropriate and suitable for the existing and proposed
use of the lands, the proposed lots front onto an established public street, and all new lots will be serviced
with independent and adequate municipal service connections. Also, the resultant lots will be compatible
in size with the lots in the surrounding area.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that all subject applications be approved, subject
to the conditions outlined in the Recommendation section of this report.

only one service per lot. Should a severance be approved, additional services will be required for severed
lot — a building permit will be required for this work. Separate building permit(s) will also be required for
construction of each new building
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services have no concerns with the proposed application subject to the following
condition:
• Future sidewalks are required on Weichel Street only along the frontage of the severed portion of
lands. The applicant should install the sidewalks as it connects the existing sidewalks on Weichel
Street to the existing sidewalks on Victoria Street.
Engineering Services Comments:
• Severance of any blocks within the subject lands will require separate, individual service
connections for sanitary, storm, and water, in accordance with City policies. If the buildings have
basements and a sump pump is required, a storm outlet will be required also.
• The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the Engineering Services
Division for the installation of new services that may be required to service this property, all prior
to severance approval. Our records indicate municipal water, storm and sanitary services are
currently available to service this property. Each severed lot will require a sanitary, a storm, and
a water service. Any further enquiries in this regard should be directed to Engineering Services
Division.
• Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener standards. All work is at the owner's
expense and all work needs to be completed prior to occupancy of the building.
