Subject:50-56 Weber Street West / 107 Young Street
Draft Phase II Heritage Impact Assessment
The Planning Division is in receipt of a draft Phase II Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) dated
June 29, 2021and prepared by MHBC Planning Ltd. regarding a proposal to redevelop 50-56
Weber Street West and 107 Young Street. The subject lands are located within the Civic Centre
Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District(CCNHCD)and designated under Part V of the
Ontario Heritage Act.
The applicant intends to demolish 50-52 and 56 Weber StreetWest and incorporated 107 Young
Street into an 8-storey residential development. City Council approved the demolition of 50-52
and 56 Weber Street West in August 2020. In order to accommodate underground parking on the
site, the applicant intends to temporarily relocate 107 Young Street.
In reviewing the draft HIA, Heritage Planning staff have noted some areas of the reportwhich
require further assessment and discussion; particularly around the temporary relocation of 107
Young Street and the building’s incorporation into the proposed development. Heritage Planning
staff will be seeking additional information and clarification in this regard as we move through the
Site Plan review process. The HIAis not clear about how the building at 107 Young Street will be
addressed in the interim (i.e. through relocation to another spot on site, relocated to the boulevard,
relocated to Young Street or temporarily lifted in place) and what the potential impacts of each of
these scenarios may be on 107 Young Street and the district. Additionally, Heritage Planning staff
will be seeking further clarification with respect to thebuildingdesign, architectural details, and
materials of the proposed development and how this proposalis in keeping with the policies and
guidelines of the CCNHCD Planfor new construction within the district.
Heritage Planning staff has already provided the heritage consultant with detailed comments on
the draft HIA and what information is still required to be provided as we continue to work through
the Site Plan review process.At this time, Heritage Planning staff is seeking the committee’s input
on the draft HIA and these comments will be taken into consideration as staff continues to review
the HIA and associated planning application. A motion or recommendation to Council is not
required.
The applicant and their consultants will attend the August 3, 2021meeting of Heritage Kitchener
to present the draft Phase II HIA and answer questions.

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
Executive Summary
An initial Phase I HIA was completed and submitted in June 2018 which proposed to remove all buildings
on the subject lands. The proposal was revised to retain 107 Young Street and a second Phase I was
submitted March 13, 2020; the removal of the buildings at 50-52 and 56 Weber Street West was approved
in August of 2020. The purpose of the Phase II of the HIA is to provide a detailed analysis of the proposed
development, and its compliance with the CCNHCD Plan (2007). The proposed development includes 1)
the construction of a new 8 storey building; and, 2) the alteration of 107 Young Street to facilitate its
integration into the new construction. The following lists impacts identified as it relates to the
compliance with the CCNHCD policies and guidelines and impacts of development on existing and
adjacent resources:
Impacts
Minor impact of alteration to 107 Young Street due to the removal of building fabric to facilitate
the integration of the new building. This alteration impacts heritage attributes of the CCNHCD
as it is to a well maintained, finely detailed building that is largely intact.
Potential impact of land disturbances for 107 Young Street due to vibrations emitted from
construction equipment once it is returned to its original location and construction continues to
occur for the integration of the house into the new development. There is potential for physical
damage to existing building during this phase (i.e. dust, debris, materials or equipment
accidentally hitting exterior form).
Potential impact of land disturbances for 48 Weber Street West and 109 Young Street, which are
a contributing, well maintained, largely intact buildings within the CCNHCD. The depth of
excavation caused by the two level parking garage raises potential impacts of land disturbances
to the foundation of both of these adjacent buildings.
Recommendations:
107 Young Street and Adjacent Properties
Temporary Protection Plan which will include a Vibration Monitoring Plan for subject lands and
adjacent properties;
Salvage and inventory of removed built heritage fabric extracted from 107 Young Street to
facilitate the physical connection between the new construction and existing building;
Monitoring of deconstruction of portion of 107 Young Street as part of the alteration;

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
The rehabilitation of 107 Young Street must be consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and
nd
Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (2
Edition) as outlined in Section
7.0 of this report and in accordance with Section 12.C.1.20 of the City’s Official Plan; it is
recommended that work be completed by professionals who are members of the Canadian
Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP) who are familiar with these standards and
guidelines and that MHBC monitor the progression of the rehabilitation; and,
Materials extracted from the demolition of 50-56 Weber Street West and alteration to 107 Young
Street should be repurposed within the development, if feasible. This includes materials such as:
o Masonry;
o Wood (i.e. flooring);
o Original front door of 56 Weber Street West.
CCNHCD:
Exterior finishes and materials should be of high quality and consistent with the CCNHCD; their
compatibility will be subject to Site Plan Review Committee approval through the Site Plan
process; and,
Lighting should be used to emphasis 107 Young Street along the streetscape, and signage should
not obstruct significant views of 107 Young Street and the greater CCNHCD.

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background
MHBC Planning, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture (“MHBC”) was retained by Facet Design
Studio to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the subject lands, which is comprised of the
properties located at 50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West as well as 107 Young Street (see
Appendix A for location map). The City of Kitchener required the submission of an HIA in accordance to
Section 12 C.1.23 (a)(d)(e). For the purpose of the proposal, the Heritage Impact Assessment was divided
into two (2) phases. A revised Phase I HIA was submitted March 13, 2020. The Phase I HIA determined
the following Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) for each property on-site:
50-52 Weber Street, “The Cottage” has representative design value as a representative Ontario
Gothic Revival Cottage and contextual value for its location in CCNHCD;
56 Weber Street, “The Motz House” has representative design value as a Queen Anne building,
historical associations with John and William J. Motz and Henry J. Shoniker and contextual
value in CCNHCD;
107 Young Street, “The Craftsman House” has representative value as Arts and Craft/ Craftsman
house, its historical association with architect C. Knetchel and contextual value in CCNHCD.
The Phase I HIA submitted in 2020 concluded that the removal of 50-52 Weber Street West was a
moderate impact and the removal of 56 Weber Street West was a minor impact. These impacts were
based on the heritage attributes associated with the CCNHCD. There was also a potential impact of land
disturbances to 48 Weber Street West due to its proximity to the new construction. Mitigation measures
that were recommended included:
A Commemoration Plan to commemorate the historical associations of 56 Weber Street West;
A Demolition Plan which would include identifying salvageable material from 50-56 Weber Street
West and archival documentation to be consistent with Section 12.C.1.33 of the Official Plan. The
Demolition is further explained in Section 1o.0 of the HIA Phase I (see Appendix ‘J’).

50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
The HIA Phase I was approved as well as the heritage permits for thedemolition of 50-56 Weber Street
West in August 2020.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of the Phase II of the HIA is to provide a detailed analysis of the proposed development, and
its compliance with the CCNHCD Plan (2007). The proposed development includes:
1) the construction of a new 8 storey building; and,
2) the alteration of 107 Young Street to facilitate its integration into the new construction.
Section 12 of the Kitchener Official Plan (2014) provides the following objectives regarding the
conservation of cultural heritage resources:
12.1.1. To conserve the city’s cultural heritage resources through their identification, protection,
use and/or management in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are
retained.
12.1.2. To ensure that all development or redevelopment and site alteration is sensitive to and
respects cultural heritage resources and that cultural heritage resources are conserved.
If any impacts is identified, mitigative and/ or conservation measures identified in this report and
approved by the City will be incorporated into the redevelopment plans and conditions of approval for
planning application as per Section 12.C.1.2.7 of the Official Plan.

3.3 Weber Street West and Young Street Streetscape
The CCNHCD Plan (2007) acknowledges that Weber Street West is a prominent streetscape in the
historical development of the City (Sub-section 3.3.5.2). The description of this streetscape notes the
larger size and scale of buildings along the streetscape including: churches small scale apartments (3-4
storeys) and a number of larger residences (3.9). The figures demonstrate the adjacent scale and mass
of buildings located in the immediate context of the proposed development along Weber Street West.
The surrounding buildings are primarily constructed of brick, but other materials such as stucco/ plaster
(48 Weber Street West and 44 Weber Street West).

4.0 Description of Cultural Heritage Resources
The section reviews the cultural heritage value or interest of the retained property located at 107 Young
Street and that of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District.
4.1 107 Young Street, “The Craftsman House”
The building located at 107 Young Street is identified as ‘Group C’ in the CCNHCD Plan. According to the
Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District Plan, the building located on the property is
a brick building constructed in the vernacular style of architecture c. 1910, however, it would be more
accurate to describe the building as being constructed in the ‘Craftsman’ or ‘Arts and Crafts’ architectural
style.
4.1.1 Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The property located at 107 Young Street has design/physical value as the building is representative of
the Arts and Crafts style of architecture c. 1912. The building includes features indicative of the Arts and
Crafts style including an overhanging roof with verandah supported by brick and wood columns, bay
windows, and dormers above the roofline.
The building is directly associated with Charles Knechtel (son of Jonas Knechtel), an architect who has
constructed other notable buildings in Berlin (Kitchener) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such
as the former Victoria Park Pavilion. The building is also indirectly associated with John and William J.
Motz who granted lands to Louiza Zinger (maiden name Motz) in 1912 who commissioned the
construction of the house. While John and William J. Motz never resided on the subject lands, Helen Motz
(wife of John Motz) was demonstrated to reside at 107 Young street with her daughter and son-in-law in
the year 1921.
The property supports the character of the area and is physically and historically linked to its
surroundings inclusive of the CCNHCD.

4.1.2 Building Condition of 107 Young Street, “The Craftsman House”
A structural assessment was completed by Tacoma Engineers Inc. on July 3, 2018. This assessment made
the following conclusions (see Appendix ‘F’):
Location Notes
Basement mostly finished. Mechanical room in good condition. Interior and
Basement
exterior load bearing walls are rubble stone construction and in goodcondition
with the exception of some areas affected by efflorescence and surface
deterioration.
No significant damage observed in the interior of the building. Most
Interior
considerable damage was related to cracked plaster ceilings in the finished attic
areas. None of the cracks were cause of structural concern and could be
repaired by an experienced plaster trades person with experience with historic
materials.
ExteriorOriginal exterior form intact aside from alterations to rear porch. Masonry walls
on western elevation determined to be in poor condition with signs of brick
damage and distress. Poor details around bay window do not adequately allow
for rain to be directed away from the façade. At the time of the inspection, the
damage to the brick did not pose a structural concern, although the brick was
recommended to be repaired and drainage details improved within 1-2 year
timeline.
It is important to note that since the assessment was completed, the masonry along the western
elevation which was determined to be in poor condition was repaired. The following page provides
photographs of the existing building on-site.

The building has retained the majority of its original heritage attributes; this has been determined after
a comparative study between the original blueprints of the house and the current conditions during site
visits. The main alteration to the building was to the rear porch which has been reconstructed.
4.2 Description and Key Heritage Attributes of the Surrounding Civic Centre
Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District
Key heritage attributes of the CCNHCD are outlined in 2.6 (Section 2.4) of the CCNHCD Plan (2007).
These attributes are the defining factors of the heritage district. Key attributes are described in the
physical geography and configuration of similar original buildings and their direct relationship to
surrounded businesses and factories and original land development pattern of the City. It also describes
the progression of architecture and building technology exhibited by houses and other buildings, in
particular the unique form of Queen Anne Style specific to the City of Kitchener dubbed “Berlin
Vernacular”. ‘Fine’ examples of these are categorized by Group ‘A’ or ‘B’; three quarters of the properties
(147 properties) are categorized as Group ‘C’ which exhibit the standard construction and are in a
condition of repair and potential restoration. The following is a list of the key attributes of the CCNHCD
as defined by the District Plan (2007) on 2.7
Its association with important business and community leaders during a key era of development in
Kitchener;
A wealth of well maintained, finely detailed buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s that are
largely intact;
A number of unique buildings, including churches and commercial buildings, which provide
distinctive landmarks within and at the edges of the District;
A significant range of recognizable architectural styles and features including attic gable roofs,
decorative trim, brick construction, porches and other details, associated with the era in which they
were developed;
The presence of an attractive and consistent streetscape linked by mature trees, grassed
boulevards and laneways;
Hibner Park, Kitchener’s second oldest city park, as a green jewel in the centre of the District.
These attributes are important to the District and the City as a whole and deserve appropriate
preservation and management.

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
5.0 Description of Proposed Development
The proposed development includes the demolition of 50-52 and 56 Weber Street and retention and
integration of 107 Young Street into the new development (see Figure 6 & 7). The development consists
of an 8 storey apartment building with 31 units and 32 bedrooms and GFA of 7106m². A two level
underground parking garage is proposed (see Appendix ‘B’ and ‘C’). To facilitate the construction of the
underground parking, the building at 107 Young Street will be temporarily lifted and relocated to the
Young Street right-of-way or within the site to facilitate the excavation of the underground parking lot.
Reports from Tacoma Engineers and Laurie McCulloch Building Moving confirm that the building is a
good candidate for temporarily lifting/ relocation (see Appendix F & G).

The new construction will be integrated physically into the existing heritage building by removing a
minimal portion of the south-east corner to allow for access and connectivity between buildings. The
removal will take place to the rear of the building which includes the removal of the rear porch which is
identified in the HIA Phase I as being a later reconstruction. The development will alter the roofline in this
portion of the building as well as two door and two window openings.

6.0 Impacts of Proposed Development
6.1
Classifications of Impacts
The impacts of a proposed development or change to a cultural heritage resource may occur over a short
or long-term duration, and may occur during a pre-construction phase, construction phase or post-
construction phase. Impacts to a cultural heritage resource may also be site specific or widespread, and
may have low, moderate or high levels of physical impact. According to the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit,
the following constitutes negative impacts which may result from a proposed development:
Destruction: of any, or part of any significant heritage attributes or features;
Alteration: that is not sympathetic, or is incompatible, with the historic fabric and appearance:
Shadows: created that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute or change the viability of a
natural feature or plantings, such as a garden;
Isolation: of a heritage attribute from its surrounding environment, context or a significant
relationship;
Direct or Indirect Obstruction: of significant views or vistas within, from, or of built and natural
features;
A change in land use: such as rezoning a battlefield from open space to residential use,
allowing new development or site alteration to fill in the formerly open spaces;
Land disturbances: such as a change in grade that alters soils, and drainage patterns that
adversely affect a cultural heritage resource.
Furthermore, this report utilizes guides published by the International Council on Monuments and Site
(ICOMOS), Council of UNESCO, from the World Heritage Convention of January of 2011. The grading of
impact is based on “Guide to Assessing Magnitude of Impact” as a framework for this report:
Built Heritage and Historic Landscapes
Impact Grading Description
Major Change to key historic building elements that contribute to the cultural
heritage value or interest (CHVI) such that the resource is totally
altered. Comprehensive changes to the setting.
Moderate Change to many key historic building elements, such that the resource
is significantly modified.

6.2 Impact of Proposed Development on Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage
Conservation District Plan (2007)
Section 3.3.4 of the CCNHCD Plan states that the goal of the HCD is to preserve and protect the heritage
resources within its boundaries, however, the Plan states that there are situations where demolition and
redevelopment may occur where it is in keeping with appropriate City policies. The following section will
review the compliance of the proposed development in the framework of the policies and guidelines
within the CCNHCD.

50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
Weber Street Area Special Policies and Guidelines
Section 3.3.5.2 of the CCNHCD Plan (2007) states that Weber Street contains a number of the oldest
buildings in the Civic Centre Neighbourhood and that the scale of heritage buildings is generally larger
than those at the interior of the district (being 3-4 storeys) and there have been a number of larger
residences converted to multiple residential units or office/ commercial units. The following excerpt from
the CCNHCD Plan (2007) describes the Weber Street Area
Weber Street contains nearly half of the oldest buildings in the Civic Centre Neighbourhood,
making it one of the most important streets in the District from an architectural and historic
perspective. The size and scale of heritage buildings on Weber Street is generally larger than
the rest of the District, and includes two churches, small scale apartments (3 – 4 storeys) and a
number of other larger residences that have been converted to multiple residential units or
office/commercial uses. The Municipal Plan designates most of the street as High Density
Commercial Residential, with the designation extending slightly in some areas. The following
policies are to apply to the whole of Weber Street within the District as well as to those sections
of the High Density Commercial Residential designation that extend into the District on College
and Young Streets.
The Weber Street Area policies are:
a) The protection and retention of existing heritage buildings and their architectural
features is strongly encouraged;
The proposed development will retain the existing building at 107 Young Street and its
associated architectural features. The building at 50-52 and 56 Weber Street West have
already been approved for removal.
b) Maintain residential streetscape character through the use of appropriate built form,
materials, roof pitches, architectural design and details particularly at the interface
between Weber Street and the interior of the neighbourhood,
The proposed development will be larger in built form and height than the buildings
within the interior of the neighbourhood. However, the building includes a 2 storey
podium which helps it relate to the two storey buildings along Young Street. The
materials used are more similar to that along the Weber Street interface (i.e. stucco is

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
used in 48 Weber Street West). The architectural design is contemporary, including its
roof pitch, which is to be a contemporary interpretation of an inverted gable roof.
The north side of Weber Street West is characterised by a range of uses including
residential, institutional, and mixed-use. It includes two large places of worship and their
associated surface parking lots and purpose-built multiple residential buildings. The
remaining single detached dwellings have all been converted to multiple residential
dwellings or non-residential uses. As a result, the character and built form of the Weber
Street area is different than the rest of the District. The use of the proposed building as
a multiple residential building is consistent with the other uses on the street. The two
storey podium, the location of parking at the rear, and some of the building materials
are consistent with the existing character, albeit the new building is taller than the others
in the Weber Street area.
d) Where redevelopment is proposed on vacant or underutilized sites, new
development shall be sensitive to and compatible with adjacent heritage resources
on the street with respect to height, massing, built form and materials.
The proposed development is larger in height and massing than the adjacent heritage
resources, however, it incorporates 107 Young Street into the overall design and uses
design elements from the adjacent 48 Weber Street (i.e. stucco, width of building mass
along Weber Street interface).
The Heritage Conservation District Plan considers that tall buildings may be developed
within the Weber Street Area consistent with the Secondary Plan policies and Zoning
Bylaw that identify this area for high density mixed use. Taller, higher density buildings
can be “compatible” with lower density developments. Compatible is not intended to
mean “same as”, but whether or not a taller building can co-exist with lower density
developments without adverse impacts.
e) Any buildings proposed over 5 storeys in height may be required to undertake
shadow studies where they abut existing residential uses, to demonstrate that

they will not unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity
areas.
The proposed development is over 5 storeys and a shadow study was completed to
demonstrate that the shadows caused by the new building will not unreasonably
impact access to sunlight in rear yard amenity spaces of adjacent properties (see
Appendix D). Residential properties are abutting Roy Street which are not impacted by
shadows and do not jeopardize the continued use of those properties for residential
uses. Adjacent property at 109 Young Street is used as commercial property with no
rear yard amenity.
f) Design guidelines provided in Section 6.9.2 \[Note: this is a typo and should read
6.9.4\] Section of this Plan will be used to review and evaluate proposals for major
alterations, additions or new buildings to ensure that new development is
compatible with the adjacent context.
See the following sub-section regarding the evaluation of the proposed
development under the site specific guidelines in Sub-section 6.9.4 of the CCNHCD
Plan.
Site/ Area Specific Design Guidelines for Weber Street
The CCNHCD Plan (2007) outlines site specific guidelines in Sub-section 6.9.4 of the Plan. They are as
follows:
Any infill development on Weber Street should maintain a strong relationship to the street
at the lower levels (2 to 4 storeys) with respect to built form and use.
The proposed development will have a two storey podium to reflect the general height of
buildings within the interior of the District and to maintain a strong relation to the street and
pedestrians.

Figures 10 & 11- (above) South elevation of proposed development; (below) West elevation of proposed
development; red box indicates projecting first two storeys (Source: Facet Design Studios, 2021).
Setbacks of new development should be consistent with adjacent buildings. Where
significantly different setbacks exist on either side, the new building should be aligned with
the building that is most similar to the predominant setback on the street.
The proposed building is setback approximately two metres for both the front yard setback,
and exterior side yard setback along Young Street. Road widening by the Region will result in a
front yard setback that is 3.0 metres due to widening. The proposed new building will be
approximately 1.0 in front of 107 Young Street.

Building facades at the street level should incorporate architectural detail, similar materials
and colours, and consistency with the vertical and horizontal proportions or rhythm of
adjacent / nearby buildings on the street to establish a cohesive streetscape.
The buildings on Weber Street West includes a range of materials, colours, and
architectural styles indicative of their period of construction. Therefore, there is no
consistent or dominant design standard. The proposed development incorporates a
contemporary interpretation of vertical and horizontal proportions of nearby buildings.
The colours are neutral including beige/ cream which is commonly used throughout
buildings in the District.

Size, placement and proportion of window and door openings for new buildings or
additions should be generally consistent with those on other buildings along the street.
The buildings on Weber Street West have a variety of size, placement and proportion of
window and door openings.
Any new buildings taller than 3 to 4 storeys should incorporate some form of height
transition or stepbacks to minimize the perception of height and shadow impacts to
pedestrians on the street and provide more visual continuity. Stepbacks should be a
minimum of 2 metres to provide for useable outdoor terraces for the upper levels.
The proposed development is taller than 4 storeys and incorporates a two storey podium with
ththth
stepback then four storeys with a stepback at the 7and 8 storey. The 8 storey is largely
screened from view at the pedestrian level and only visible from a longer distance.
Any buildings taller than 5 storeys abutting a residential property to the rear should be
constructed within a 45 degree angular plane where feasible, starting from the rear
property line, to minimize visual impacts on adjacent property owners.
The rear of the subject lands abut properties that are designated Office Residential Conversion.
The subject lands do not abut the Low Rise Residential designated areas that make up the
interior of the Heritage District. Section 5.2.3 of the HCD Study as well as the policies of the
Secondary Plan identify that the Office Residential Conversion lands are intended to provide a
buffer and transition between the higher density uses on Weber Street and the low rise
residential areas in the Heritage District. The intent of the angular plane guideline is to ensure
that tall buildings don’t negatively impact the character of low rise residential properties and
jeopardize their continued residential use. The proposed development meets the 45 degree
angular plane guideline when measured from the edge of the Low Rise Residential properties
on Roy Street (See Appendix B).
CCN HCD Study 5.2.3 Land Use Designations and Zoning
The Office-Residential Conversion designation is intended to preserve existing
structures and to serve as a transition area between the higher intensity uses along
Weber and Queen Street and the Low Rise Residential – Preservation designation.

To minimize impacts on properties to the rear of or flanking Weber Street, a rear yard
setback of 15 metres should be maintained for new buildings as well as additions where
feasible.
The rear yard setback is 7.5 metres and does not meet this guideline.

6.4 Summary of Impacts
The following is a summary of adverse impacts identified in this Section. Please note, that the
heritage attributes of the CCNHCD described in Sub-section 4.2 were included as part of the
overall analysis.
Minor impact of alteration to 107 Young Street due to the removal of building fabric to facilitate
the integration of the new building. This alteration impacts heritage attributes of the CCNHCD
as it is to a well maintained, finely detailed building that is largely intact.
Potential impact of land disturbances for 107 Young Street due to vibrations emitted from
construction equipment once it is returned to its original location and construction continues to
occur for the integration of the house into the new development. There is potential for physical
damage to existing building during this phase (i.e. dust, debris, materials or equipment
accidentally hitting exterior form).
Potential impact of land disturbances for 48 Weber Street West and 109 Young Street, which are
a contributing, well maintained, largely intact buildings within the CCNHCD. The depth of
excavation caused by the two level parking garage raises potential impacts of land disturbances
to the foundation of both of these adjacent buildings.
In conclusion, the proposed development is consistent the majority of the policies and guidelines for the
CCNHCD resulting in its general compliancy with the CCNHCD Plan (2007), in particular Section 3.3.1 of
the Plan regarding development patterns and land use as the site is considered underutilized. The new
building is located at the perimeter of the District where higher density is anticipated and along Weber
Street West which varies in mass, scale and architecture. The new building, albeit taller than adjacent
buildings within the CCNHCD, does comply with the 45 degree angular plane to ensure adequate
transition between higher density developments along Weber Street West and low rise residential areas
at the interior of the District.

7.0 Consideration of Alternatives
7.1 Alternative Development Approaches
The following have been identified as a range of development alternatives that may be considered as
part of the heritage planning process. These options have been assessed in terms of impacts to cultural
heritage resources as well as balancing other planning policies within the planning framework. These
options could be selected individually or combined. The following are alternative development options
to minimize impacts to 107 Young Street on the subject lands, adjacent properties and overall CCNHCD.
7.1.1 Reduce size of underground levels
This option results in the reduction of the underground parking/ storage levels as it relates to its proximity
to 107 Young Street, 109 Young Street and 48 Weber Street which can result in land disturbances for all
of these properties. In order to lessen, or avoid these impacts, mitigation measures can be implemented
(i.e. Vibration Monitoring Plan).
7.1.2 Alternative building design avoiding physical integration of 107 Young Street
An alternate design that avoids the physical integration of 107 Young Street house with the new building
was considered. While this option would result in less impact to the house at 107 Young Street, it would
require a separation distance between the two buildings to ensure compliance with the Building Code.
The result would be a loss of floor space and density in the new building or additional height to maintain
the same density. Given that the impact of connecting the new building to the rear corner of 107 Young
Street is relatively minor, this alternative is not recommended.
7.1.3 Alternative design of new building
The proposed development is designed as a unique and signature building. The building has a
contemporary design that represents the variety of architecture and built form that is present along the
Weber Street interface. An alternative design with a greater use of the types of architectural elements
and materials that are present on the buildings within the centre of the heritage district would be an
option. This alternative could ease the transition from the Weber Street West streetscape to the low rise
residential portion of the district, however, this may result in a building form or design of the new building
that is less compatible with the form and character of the Weber Street portion of the HCD.

8.0 Mitigation Measures
The following lists impacts identified as it relates to the compliance with the CCNHCD policies and
guidelines and impacts of development on existing and adjacent resources:
Impacts
Minor impact of alteration to 107 Young Street due to the removal of building fabric to facilitate
the integration of the new building. This alteration impacts heritage attributes of the CCNHCD
as it is to a well maintained, finely detailed building that is largely intact.
Potential impact of land disturbances for 107 Young Street due to vibrations emitted from
construction equipment once it is returned to its original location and construction continues to
occur for the integration of the house into the new development. There is potential for physical
damage to existing building during this phase (i.e. dust, debris, materials or equipment
accidentally hitting exterior form).
Potential/ Negligible impact of land disturbances for 48 Weber Street West and 109 Young
Street, which are a contributing, well maintained, largely intact buildings within the CCNHCD.
The depth of excavation caused by the two level parking garage raises potential impacts of land
disturbances to the foundation of both of these adjacent buildings.
Mitigation Recommendations:
Temporary Protection Plan which will include a Vibration Monitoring Plan for subject lands and
adjacent properties;
Salvage and inventory of removed built heritage fabric extracted from 107 Young Street to
facilitate the physical connection between the new construction and existing building;
Monitoring of deconstruction of portion of 107 Young Street as part of the alteration;
The rehabilitation of 107 Young Street must be consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and
nd
Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (2 Edition) as outlined in Section
7.0 of this report and in accordance with Section 12.C.1.20 of the City’s Official Plan; it is
recommended that work be completed by professionals who are members of the Canadian
Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP) who are familiar with these standards and
guidelines and that MHBC monitor the progression of the rehabilitation; and,

Materials extracted from the demolition of 50-56 Weber Street West and alteration to 107 Young
Street should be repurposed within the development, if feasible. This includes materials such as:
o Masonry;
o Wood (i.e. flooring);
o Original front door of 56 Weber Street West.
CCNHCD:
Exterior finishes and materials should be of high quality and consistent with the CCNHCD; their
compatibility will be subject to Site Plan Review Committee approval through the Site Plan
process; and,
Lighting should be used to emphasis 107 Young Street along the streetscape, and signage should
not obstruct significant views of 107 Young Street and the greater CCNHCD.

9.0 Conservation Recommendations
The following sub-section briefly reviews the applicable conservation principles as it relates to the
conservation of 107 Young Street within the construction process as well as a Conservation Plan.
9.1 Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada
nd
(2Edition)
This Section of the report refers to the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places
in Canada (referred to in this report as the ‘Standards and Guidelines’) (Parks Canada, 2010). This
document has been accepted as best planning practice for heritage conservation and its contents and
use are supported by the City of Kitchener Official Plan as follows:
12.C.1.21 The City will make decisions with respect to cultural heritage resources with the policies of
the Provincial Policy Statement, which require the conservation of significant heritage resources. In
addition, such decisions will be consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the
Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.
9.1.1 Review and Application of the Standards for Rehabilitation
The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (2011) provide standards
for rehabilitation; this includes the 12 General Standards:
1. Conserve the Heritage value of an historic place. Do not remove, replace or substantially
alter its intact or repairable character-defining elements. Do not move a part of an historic
place if its current location is a character-defining element.
It is not proposed that any character-defining element will be removed. The front porch will
temporarily be removed for the duration of the relocation, however, it is planned that this
element will be reconstructed in its original location once it returns to its original location. A
portion of the roofline will be removed
2. Conserve changes to a historic place that, over time, have become character-defining
elements in their own right.
Although, the rear porch is a later addition to the original building, it has become part of the
overall exterior form of the building. The rear porch will be not be reconstructed. The porch was
June 2021 MHBC | 45
2 - 44
Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
a later sympathetic addition to the rear of the building. Although, it is part of the historic place,
it is not a character-defining element in its own right.
3. Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention.
The development proposes to temporarily relocate the heritage building; although the
foundation will be removed from the building and a new foundation created for the building upon
its return, the identified character defining elements will be conserved. This approach requires
the least intervention in order to retain its built form.
4. Recognize each historic place as a physical record of its time, place and use. Do not create a
false sense of historical development by adding elements from other historic places or other
properties, or by combining features of the same property that never existed.
A false sense of historical development will not be created. The proposed development
juxtaposes the existing heritage building and the new construction which is of a contemporary
architectural style.
5. Find a use for an historic place that requires minimal or no change to its character-defining
elements.
The building will be used for residential purposes which is consistent with its former use.
6. Protect and, if necessary, stabilize an historic place until any subsequent intervention is
undertaken. Protect and preserve archaeological resources in place. Where there is potential
for disturbing archaeological resources, take mitigation measures to limit damage and loss
of information.
The heritage building is in good condition and does not require substantial conservation work.
The building will be structurally protected and stabilized prior, during and post relocation until it
is securing and structurally stabilized upon a new foundation at its original site. There are no
archaeological resources perceived to be or identified on either the current site of the heritage
building.
7. Evaluate the existing condition of character-defining elements to determine the appropriate
intervention needed. Use the greatest means possible for any intervention. Respect heritage
value when undertaking an intervention.
Section 4.1.2 of this report evaluates the condition of character-defining elements of the heritage
building. Any conservation work proceeding the building’s return to its original location should
be consistent with the Standards and Guidelines of Historic Places in Canada (2011).
June 2021 MHBC | 46

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
8.Maintain character-defining elements on an ongoing basis. Repair character-defining
elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized conservation methods. Replace in
kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts of character-defining elements, where
there are surviving prototypes.
An annual inspection of character-defining elements has been recommended in the long-term
conservation goals of this report in Section 8.4. The character-defining elements of the heritage
building are in good condition and do not require intervention; these elements only require on-
going maintenance (maintenance is not considered intervention).
9. Make any intervention needed to preserve character defining elements physically and
visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection. Document
any intervention for future reference.
If, during the reconstruction of the front porch post relocation, there are portions of these
character-defining elements that are in deteriorated condition in so much that they are no longer
structurally viable, it is recommended that replacements be visually compatible to the heritage
building and that these alterations be documented and included with the on-going maintenance
log for the building.
10. Repair rather than replace character-defining elements. Where character-defining elements
are too severely deteriorated to repair, and where sufficient physical evidence exists, replace
them with new elements that match the forms, materials and detailing of sound versions of
the same elements. Where there is insufficient physical evidence, make the form, material
and detailing of the new elements compatible with the character of the historic place.
The majority of the character-defining elements are in good condition and do not require
replacement. If replacement is required, there is sufficient physical evidence to replace them with
new elements that match the forms, materials and detailing of sound versions of the same
elements.
11. Conserve the heritage value and character-defining elements when creating any new
additions to an historic place or any related new construction. Make the new work physically
and visually compatible with, subordinate to and distinguishable from the historic place.
The proposed development will remove some building fabric on the south-eastern corner of 107
Young Street to facilitate the integration of the building within the overall development. The
integration is intended to be physically and visually compatible by using materials and means of
attachment that respect the existing building. The point of integration will be a juxtaposition
between historic and contemporary architectural styles making it distinguishable from one
another.

12.Create any new additions or related new construction so that the essential form and integrity
of an historic place will not be impaired if the new work is removed in the future
The building fabric that will be removed from 107 Young Street is to be documented and
inventoried and stored on-site so that it could be reversed in the future.
9.1. 2 Review and Application of the Guidelines
The Standards and Guidelines (2011) provide specific guidelines regarding the conservation of elements
of a historic place. The following guidelines for a) buildings and b) materials will be applied as it relates to
the proposed development and the conservation of heritage attributes located on the subject lands.
Guidelines for Buildings:
Exterior Form;
Exterior Walls;

9.2 Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Built Heritage Properties
The following Eight Guiding Conservation Principles used by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture
and Sport as well as the Ontario Heritage Trust will be evaluated in this report:
1. Respect for documentary evidence;
Measured drawings and elevations for 107 Young Street have been completed to ensure that
sufficient documentary evidence exists prior to relocation (see Appendix ‘I’ of this report).
2. Respect for historic material;
Any repairs as part of the rehabilitation of 107 Young Street will be respectful of the existing
historic material used.
3. Respect for original fabric;
The proposed development will remove a portion of the south-eastern corner of 107 Young
Street, however, the material be documented, salvaged, inventoried and stored on-site.
4. Reversibility;

the existing building on-site.
6. Maintenance.
This report includes a Conservation Plan which includes maintenance in its long-term
conservation goals.
9.3 Region of Waterloo Practical Conservation Guides
The Region of Waterloo provides practical guidelines regarding the conservation of heritage properties
in the Region. These guidelines are consistent with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of
Historic Places in Canada. Applicable practical guidelines that may supplement the Parks Canada
Standards and Guidelines reviewed above include:
Masonry;
Metalwork;
Paint and Colour;
Porches;
Roofs; and,
Windows/shutters/ doors.
The Region of Waterloo outlines “Elements of Successful Infill” in Infill: New Construction in Heritage
Neighbourhoods as part of their series, Practical Conservation Guide for Heritage Properties. The
“Elements of Successful Infill” include: setback, scale, orientation, scale, proportion, rhythm, massing,
height, materials, colour, roof shape, detail and ornamentation, landscape features, secondary buildings,
and parking. These elements are incorporated into the CCNHCD Plan (2007) and associated policies and
guidelines.

10.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
MHBC Planning, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture (“MHBC”) was retained by Facet Design
Studio to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the subject lands including 50-56 Weber
Street West and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener. The proposed development includes an 8 storey
building in lieu of 50-56 Weber Street West and the integration of 107 Young Street into the
development. The following impacts were identified for both 107 Young Street specifically and the
greater CCNHCD.
Impacts
The following lists impacts identified as it relates to the compliance with the CCNHCD policies and
guidelines and impacts of development on existing and adjacent resources:
Minor impact of alteration to 107 Young Street due to the removal of building fabric to facilitate
the integration of the new building. This alteration impacts heritage attributes of the CCNHCD
as it is to a well maintained, finely detailed building that is largely intact.
Potential impact of land disturbances for 107 Young Street due to vibrations emitted from
construction equipment once it is returned to its original location and construction continues to
occur for the integration of the house into the new development. There is potential for physical
damage to existing building during this phase (i.e. dust, debris, materials or equipment
accidentally hitting exterior form).
Potential impact of land disturbances for 48 Weber Street Westand 109 Young Street,which are
a contributing, well maintained, largely intact buildings within the CCNHCD. The depth of
excavation caused by the two level parking garage raises potential impacts of land disturbances
to the foundation of both of these adjacent buildings.
In conclusion, the proposed development meets the majority of the policies and guidelines for the
CCNHCD resulting in its general compliancy with the Plan (2007).
Mitigation Recommendations:
Temporary Protection Plan which will include a Vibration Monitoring Plan for subject lands and
adjacent properties;

Heritage Impact Assessment Phase II
50-52 Weber Street West, 56 Weber Street West, and 107 Young Street, City of Kitchener, ON
Salvage and inventory of removed built heritage fabric extracted from 107 Young Street to
facilitate the physical connection between the new construction and existing building;
Monitoring of deconstruction of portion of 107 Young Street as part of the alteration;
The rehabilitation of 107 Young Street must be consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and
nd
Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (2Edition) as outlined in Section
7.0 of this report and in accordance with Section 12.C.1.20 of the City’s Official Plan; it is
recommended that work be completed by professionals who are members of the Canadian
Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP) who are familiar with these standards and
guidelines and that MHBC monitor the progression of the rehabilitation; and,
Materials extracted from the demolition of 50-56 Weber Street West and alteration to 107 Young
Street should be repurposed within the development, if feasible. This includes materials such as:
o Masonry;
o Wood (i.e. flooring);
o Original front door of 56 Weber Street West.
CCNHCD:
Exterior finishes and materials should be of high quality and consistent with the CCNHCD; their
compatibility will be subject to Site Plan Review Committee approval through the Site Plan
process; and,
Lighting should be used to emphasis 107 Young Street along the streetscape, and signage should
not obstruct significant views of 107 Young Street and the greater CCNHCD.

Rolling
Multi directional Hillman rollers are placed between the main beams and roll steel for the move.
The 50 ton capacity rollers will be installed based on the actual weight of the loaded building
including steel.
The actual weight will be determined once the building is loaded on our equipment with our
hydraulic equipment and verified by David Seberras to ensure that an adequate safety ratio for the
rolling equipment is maintained.
Foundation
An adequate height foundation will need to be built up to the underside of the brick to pin the
building in its final location by others.
We will assist in the design of new foundation walls to make sure the design facilitates the
removal of our steel framework.
Placement
After the building is at its desired location and elevation, the new concrete foundation wall is
installed leaving openings for the main beam removal.

Phase II Heritage Impact Assessment and Urban Design ReportScoped Terms of
Reference
1.0Background
A Heritage Impact Assessment(HIA)is a study to determine the impacts to known and potential
cultural heritage resources within a defined area proposed for future repair, alteration or
development. The study shall include an inventory of all cultural heritage resources within the
planning application area. The study results in a report which identifies all known cultural heritage
resources, evaluates the significance of the resources, and makes recommendations toward
mitigative measures that would minimize negative impacts to those resources. A Heritage Impact
Ontario Heritage Act;or where development is proposed adjacent to a protected heritage
property. The requirement may also apply to unknown or recorded cultural heritage resources
which are discovered during the development application stage or construction.
An Urban Design Report establishesa vision and givesclear direction for the future development
of the site. It will provide the City, applicant and public with reasonable assurance as to what the
future form of development may look like by establishing guidelines for future site development.
The Reportwill supplement and reinforce existing design policies with site-specific design
guidelines for the proposed future development. The Urban Design Report should use graphics,
images and text to explore a concept and explain why a proposeddevelopment represents the
optimum design solution. The Report should reflect an optimal design solution and not simply
reflect a preferred development scheme.
2.0Heritage Impact Assessment Requirements
It is important to recognize the need for Heritage Impact Assessments at the earliest possible
stage of development, alteration or proposed repair. Notice will be given to the property owner
and/or their representative as early as possible. When the property is the subject of a Plan of
Subdivision or Site Plan application, notice of a Heritage Impact Assessment requirement will
typically be given at the pre-application meeting, followed by written notification. The notice will
inform the property owner of any known heritage resources specific to the subject property and
provide guidelines to completing the Heritage Impact Assessment.
The City will require the submission and approval of a scoped Heritage Impact Assessment and
Urban Design Reportto address the potential impact of the proposed developmenton the
heritage attributes of the property municipally addressed as 107 Young Street and on the
attributes associated with the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District
(CCNHCD), and specifically the context of the surrounding streetscape/neighbourhood. These
Terms of Reference for the HIA/UDR have been scoped to waive certain requirements which
were previously addressed in the Phase I HIA submitted regarding the demolition of the buildings
at 50-52 and 56 Weber Street West.Similarly, somemore detailed components of a standard
Urban Design Report will be replaced with the completion of the Urban Design Score Card.
2 - 83
The following minimum requirements will be required in a Phase II Scoped Heritage
Impact Assessmentand Urban Design Report:
2.1Description of site and surrounding features, including photographs and a written
description of the subject property.
2.2An outline of the proposed development, its context, and how it will impact the subject
property and surrounding streetscape (including existing buildings, structures, and site
details such as landscaping). In particular, the potential visual and physical impact of the
proposed work on the identified heritage attributes of the subject property, the setting and
character of the Weber Street and Young Street streetscapes, and the integrity of the
CCNHCDshall be evaluated. Specific attention should be given to issues relating to
location, scale, massing, and views along Weber Street and Young Street and
compatibility with existing neighbourhood buildingsand landscape. A discussion and
assessment of the proposed building materials, proposed setbacksand step backswith
respect to the surrounding neighbourhood is required. A discussion and assessment of
functional considerations such as the location of landscape features amenity space,
pedestrian andvehicle movements, fire access and garbage collectionshould be
provided.
2.3A Shadow Analysis should be conducted to inform building design and articulation
2.4A Wind Analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) should be conducted and
specifically consider at grade entrances and amenity spaces as well as balconies and
rooftop amenity space.
2.5TheAssessment/Report should consider and address the Official Plan policies proposed
through the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Planning Review, including, but not limited to
Sections 16.D.2.11 through 16.D.2.22(especially 16.D.2.11,16.D.2.14, 16.D.2.15,

15.4.6, 15.4.7, 15.4.12). In addition, the Assessment/Report should considerSection 11
(Urban Design) and Section 12 (Cultural Heritage Resources) of the Official Plan.
2.6Consideration and evaluation of options that mitigate impact. Methods of mitigation may
include, but are not limited to, preservation/conservation in situ, rehabilitation, adaptive re-
use, relocation, and alternative development approaches to design (height, massing,
scale, location, setbacks, stepbacks, etc.). Each mitigative measure should create a
sympathetic context for the heritage resource.
2.7A summary of applicable heritage conservation principles and how they will be used must
be included. Conservation principles may be found in online publications such as: the
Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (Parks
Canada); Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Built Heritage Properties
(Ministry of Heritage, Tourism, Sport, and Culture Industries); and the Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ministry of Heritage, Tourism, Sport, and Culture Industries).
2.8Proposed alterations and relocation must be justified and explained including discussion
on any loss of cultural heritage value and impact on the property, streetscape, and
neighbourhood. Conclusions or statements regarding structural or general condition,
required repairs, and feasibility of location, shall be supported by reports and cost
estimates prepared by qualified individuals.
