Proposed lot fabrics with future semi-detached dwellings
Location Map: 172 Windale Crescent
REPORT:
BACKGROUND:
The property is designated as Low Rise Residential in the City’s Official Plan and identified as a
Community Area on the City’s Urban Structure Map.
The property is zoned as Residential Four Zone with Special Regulation Provision 443R in Zoning
By-law 85-1.
Planning Comments:
The single detached dwelling on the property is proposed to bedemolished and the applicant
proposes to build semi-detached dwellings on thesevered and retained lands. The existing
development of the neighbourhood consists of a mix of single detached dwellings, semi-detached
dwellings, and multiple dwellings. Lot sizes vary in width, depth, and area in this neighborhood.
The Owner is requesting permission to sever the subject lands into two lotsto construct semi-
detached dwellings (B2021-014).Theseveredlotwould have a lot width of 7.72metres, a depth of
26.138metres, and alotarea of 220square metres. The retained lot would have a lot width of 8.429
metres, a depth of 26.1 metres, and a lot area of 220 square metres.
The applicant is requesting relief from Section38.2.2 of the Zoning By-law to allow the severedand
retained lots to have alot area of 220 square metres whereas 235 square metres is required for
each lot(A2021-024 & A2021-025).
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on February 26, 2021.
Existing single detached dwelling at 172 Windale Crescent
Minor Variance Applications - A2021-024 & A2021-025
In considering the four tests for minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O.,
1990 Chap. P. 13, as amended, Planning staff offers the following comments.
1.Does the proposal maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan?
The requested variances meet the general intent of the Official Plan.The subject property is
designated Low Rise Residential in the City’s Official which encourages a range of different
forms of housing to achieve a low-density neighbourhood. The requested variances to permit
reduced lot areas for the retained and severed lots is appropriate and continues to maintain the
low density character of the property and surrounding neighbourhood, which is characterized
by a variety of lot sizes and built form options. The proposed variancesconform to the
designation and it is the further opinion of staff that the requested variances are appropriate.
2.Does the proposal maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law?
The requested variances to reduce the required lot area for the retained and severed lots from
235 squaremetresto 220 square metresmeet the general intent of the Zoning By-law.The
purpose of the minimum 235 square metre lot area requirement is to ensure the lots are of
adequate size to support a building envelope and parking, as well as to provide adequate
amenity space on site. Theproposed semi-detached dwellings meet all other zoning regulations
with regards to setbacks, parking, building height, lot coverage and all proposed lots provide a
generous amount of amenity space in the rear yard. As such, staff is satisfied the reduction of
15 square metres of lot area meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
3.Is the proposal desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land?
The proposed variances areappropriate for the development and use of the land as the
proposed residential use is a permitted use in the Zoning By-law. The reduced lot areaswill not
negatively impact the character of the subject property or surrounding neighbourhood.
4.Is the proposal minor?
The reduction of the lot areais considered minor. Staff is of the opinion that the requested
variances will provide sufficient lot area for future dwellings, with adequateamenity spaceand
parking and will not negatively affect the adjacent properties or surrounding neighbourhood.
Consent Application – B2021-014
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.While the retained and severed lands require aminor variance,
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.Staff is further of the opinion
that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan
for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.The lands front onto a public street and full services are available.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to minor variance applications or the proposed consent. Region
of Waterloo and Area Municipalities' Design Guidelines and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal
Services (DGSSMS) allows only one service per lot.Separate building permit(s) will be required for
the demolition of all existing buildings, as well as construction of all new residential buildings.
Heritage Comments:
Heritage staff has no cultural heritage concernswith the proposed applications.
Environmental Planning Comments:
Environmental Planningstaff has no concerns with the proposed applications.
Transportation Services Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with the proposed applications.
Engineering 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.
The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the Engineering
Division for the installation of new service connections that may be required to service this
property, all prior to severance approval. Our records indicate sanitary, storm and water
municipal services are currently available to service this property. Any further enquiries in
this regard should be directed to Eric Riek (eric.riek@kitchener.ca).
Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener or Region of Waterloo (depending on
driveway location) standards. All works are at the owner’s expense and all work needs to be
completed prior to occupancy of the building.
A servicing plan showing all outlets to the municipal servicing system will be required to the
satisfaction of the Engineering Division prior to severance approval.
A Development Asset Drawing (digital AutoCAD) is required for the new site infrastructure
with corresponding layer names and asset information to the satisfaction of the Engineering
Division prior to severance approval.
The owner must ensure that the basement elevation of the building can be drained by gravity
to the street sewers. If this is not the case, then the owner would have to pump the sewage
via a pump and aforcemain to the property line and have a gravity sewer from the property
line to the street.
Operations Comments:
Parkland dedication has been satisfied through Kitchener Draft Agreement (KDA) 30T-04207 and
is not required for this application.
An existing Street Tree is located in the boulevard of 172 Windale Cres. Tree protection is
required on all trees during construction work as indicated in city bylaw 690.4.2 Protection - Trees
