REPORT
Planning Comments:
The subject land are located at 400 Bingemans Centre Drive. The lands contain Waterloo Brewing and
back onto the main railway line. The lands have split designation and zoning. More specifically, the
western half of the property is designated Heavy Industrial Employment and zoned Heavy Industrial Zone
(M-4) with Special Use Provision 46U. The eastern half of the property is zoned Restricted Business
Park Zone (B-2) with Special Use Provision 336U and Special Regulation Provision 416R. Both zones
permit the Waterloo Brewery manufacturing and warehouse operations, however the zones have different
setback and berm requirements for buildings adjacent to the railway. The M-4 zone requires no setback
or berm, whereas the B-2 zone requires a 15 metre setback and a 2.0 metre high safety/derailment berm.
The setback safety/derailment berm requirement was added to the B-2 portion of the lands in 2004 at the
time the industrial lands were rezoned to support the development of the lands as a business park. These
features were implemented at the request of CN Rail as safety features in the case of a derailment. Policy
6.C.3.18 of the City's Official Plan requires that proposed development or redevelopment adjacent to
railways will ensure that appropriate safety measures such as setbacks, berms and security fencing are
approved to the satisfaction of the City in consultation with the appropriate railways. The City is also in
receipt of a proposed Site Plan application for the proposed addition. Notice of this variance application
and the associated Site Plan were circulated to the rail authority for comment, however comments are
still pending. Based of the foregoing, staff feel that it is appropriate to defer consideration of the
application at this time, to allow the rail authority the opportunity to comment on the proposal, and to
further inform the City as to the appropriateness of the proposed variances.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance provided a building permit for the proposed
addition is obtained prior to construction. Please contact the Building Division @ 519-741-2433 with any
questions.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services have no concerns with the subject application.
Engineering Comments:
Engineering has no concerns with the subject application.
RECOMMENDATION
That application A2018-108 be deferred.
