Planning Comments:
The subject property is zoned Residential Four Zone (R-4) in the Zoning By-law and designated
Low Rise Residential in the City's 2014 Official Plan. The property currently contains a semi-
detached dwelling. The existing development of the neighbourhood consists single and semi-
detached dwellings.
The Owner is requesting permission to sever the subject lands into two lots to allow separate
ownership of each semi-detached unit. The severed lot would have a lot width of 10 metres, a
depth of 34 metres, and an area of 342.8 square metres. The retained lot would have a lot width
of 10 metres, a depth of 34.5 metres, and an area of 348.6 square metres.
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on May 13th, 2019.

Existing semi-detached dwelling at 23 &25 Wendy Crescent
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, staff is satisfied that the creation of the severed lots are desirable and
appropriate. The uses of both the severed and retained parcels are in conformity with the City's
Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Planning staff is of the opinion that the size, dimension and
shape of the proposed lots are suitable for the use of the lands and compatible with the
surrounding community. The lands front onto a public street and full services are available.
The proposed lots conform to the 2014 Official Plan. Both the retained and severed lots reflect
the general scale and character of the established development pattern of surrounding lands.
Based on the foregoing, Planning staff recommends that Consent Application B2019-015,
requesting consent to sever the subject property into two lots to allow separate ownership of
each semi-detached unit be approved, subject to the conditions listed in the Recommendation
section of this report.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent.
Heritage Comments:
No cultural heritage issues or concerns.
3
Environmental Planning Comments:
No environmental planning concerns.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed application.
Engineering Comments:
No concerns. Each property already has individual sanitary and water services.
Operations Comments:
Park land dedication will not be required on the severed parcel, as no new development lot will
be created as a result of the severance.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Application B2019-015 requesting consent to sever the subject property into two lots be
approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. That the Owner shall obtain a tax certificate from the City of Kitchener to verify that
there are no outstanding taxes on the subject property(ies) to the satisfaction of the
City's Revenue Division;
2. That the owner provide a digital file of the deposited reference plan(s) prepared by an
Ontario Land Surveyor in .dwg (AutoCad) or Agn (Microstation) format, as well as one

the City of Kitchener's Digital Submission Standards to the satisfaction of the City's
Mapping Technologist.
3. That, prior to final approval, the applicant submits the Consent Application Review Fee
of $350.00 to the Region of Waterloo.
