EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The owner of the property at 120 Bullock Street is proposing to: change the Official Plan designation from Commercial to General Industrial Employment change the Urban Structure in the Official Plan from Arterial Commercial to Industrial Employment Area remove specific policy area 30 from the subject lands change the zoning from Arterial Commercial (COM-3) to General Industrial Employment (EMP-2) remove Site Specific Provision 64 from the subject lands in Zoning By-law 19-051 add a new Site Specific Provision (178) in Zoning by-law 19-051 Staff is supportive of the proposed changes that would enable manufacturing and other general industrial on the subject site. BACKGROUND: PDCP Block 5 Industrial GP Inc. has made application to the City of Kitchener for an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment proposing to allow general industrial uses on the subject site. The subject site lies on a portion of the former Budd Automotive/Kitchener Frame industrial site that was a major industrial automobile manufacturing plant and large local employer beginning in the 1960s until its closure in 2008. After the plant closed, the lands were sold and an application to amend the zoning by-law to convert a portion of the overall site to Commercial use from Industrial was made to the City in applications ZC11/08/H/JVW & OP11/02/H/JVW. City Council refused the application and it was settled at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in 2013. The settlement decision resulted in the subject lands being zoned and designated Commercial. The subject site is a recently created parcel that was registered as part of subdivision 30T-13202 on June 30, 2020 as registered plan 58M-656. The subject site is a through lot, with frontages on Homer Watson Boulevard, Bleams Road, and Bullock Street. It is 10.11 hectares in area, 246 metres wide on the Bleams Road frontage, and 442 metres deep on the Homer Watson Boulevard frontage as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Location Map: 120 Bullock Street REPORT: PDCP Block 5 Industrial GP Inc.is proposing toconstruct a roughly 47,000 Mindustrial building on the subject site. While the future building tenants are not known at this time, the owner intends to lease the building for employment uses that will likely comprise of a mix of warehouse, manufacturing, and light industrial uses. Some light industrial uses including warehousing are currently permitted under the Arterial Commercial (COM-3) zoning, however, manufacturing is not. The owner is thereby seeking to change the zoning to General Industrial (EMP-2) in order to permit manufacturing and other similar general industrial uses on the subject site. The application was received and circulated for comment in May 2021. Staff is supportive of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment to permit manufacturing on the subject site. Planning Analysis: Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS sets out policies that support and sustain healthy, liveable and safe communities. The PPS promotes economic development and competitiveness in creating employment opportunities by providing an appropriate mix and range of employment uses, identifying strategic sites, and providing opportunities for a diversified economic base. With respect to providing an appropriate mix and range of employment uses, the proposed application represents an opportunity to increase the range of permitted employment uses on the site. This will allow flexibility in attracting a broad range of employment uses to Kitchener. Provincial policies also encourage approval authorities to identify strategic sites for employment uses, with emphasis on separation from sensitive land uses as well as access to infrastructure designed for goods movement. This site exemplifies these characteristics and is considered by staff to be an ideal industrial site. Based on the above, staff is of the opinion that this proposal is in conformity with the PPS. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020 (Growth Plan): The Growth Plan endeavors to provide flexibility to capitalize on new economic and employment opportunities as they emerge. It also recommends that municipalities should designate areas located near major goods movement facilities and corridors for manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and appropriate associated uses and ancillary facilities. A strong economy including opportunities for traditional industries is an important aspect of a complete community. The proposed application intends to provide flexibility by permitting a range of general industrial uses that will enable the owner to attract a variety of employment uses to the subject site. The subject site is located on a Regional Road (Homer Watson Boulevard) that acts as a major goods movement route in the City of Kitchener because of its convenient access to the Conestoga Parkway (Highway 7/8) and direct access to Highway 401. Staff is of the opinion that the applications conform to the Growth Plan. Regional Official Plan (ROP), 2010: The subject site is located within the Urban Area in the Regional Official Plan. Regional policies encourage municipalities to designate and preserve lands in the Urban Area that are in proximity to major highway interchanges and rail yards as employment areas. Regional staff have provided comments () and identified that due to the Record of Site Condition (RSC) that was -law prohibits geothermal energy systems and sensitive land uses such as daycare. With those additions to the by-law, Regional Staff is in support of the proposed applications for Official Plan and Zoning By- law amendment. Planning staff are of the opinion that the applications conform to the Regional Official Plan. City of Kitchener Comprehensive Review of Employment Lands (CREL), 2010 In 2010 the City conducted a study to complete a municipal comprehensive review of employment lands. The purpose of this study was to ensure that the City has sufficient lands to meet long term industrial employment needs, to protect prime industrial employment lands and to identify industrial employment lands that are suitable for conversion to non-employment uses. The City reviewed over 1500 parcels of employment-industrial lands to determine which lands should be protected. Preferred criteria for lands that should be protected employment included: Contiguous with other employment lands, forms a vibrant and viable cluster Convenient and superior access to highways, primary/secondary arterial/major collector roads Rail service available or possible access Separated from sensitive uses (in accordance with the D6 guidelines for compatibility with industrial uses) Removed from groundwater recharge area Relatively flat Parcel size (greater than 0.4 hectares (1 acre)) Office use could provide a transition/buffer from sensitive land uses Based on these criteria, the Comprehensive Review of Employment Lands (CREL) identified the subject site as protected employment lands. The inclusion of this site as a protected employment land contributed to Staff recommending refusal for the Zoning By-law Amendment ZC11/08/H/JVW that requested to change the zoning to commercial. The subject site was ultimately changed to Arterial Commercial zoning via an OMB decision in 2013 (PL121300). As this application proposes to return the land to an Employment land use designation, staff is of the opinion that it meets the intent of the Comprehensive Review of Employment Lands established by the City in 2010. Map 1 of this study showing the protected employment lands is included in F City of Kitchener Official Plan and proposed Official Plan Amendment: The subject lands are currently designated Commercial (Map 3) The lands are currently identified as an Arterial Corridor in the urban structure of the Official Plan. The subject lands are currently subject to Specific Policy Area # 30 in the Official Plan. Amendment: Urban Structure Planning staff recommend that the Urban Structure component change from Arterial Commercial to Industrial Employment Area. The Urban Structure components in the Official Plan provide guidance on growth management and structure for the urban area. They are intended to provide an organizational structure to the city on a macro level to help with directing growth to appropriate locations while protecting established and stable areas. Industrial Employment Areas within the urban structure are intended to facilitate employment growth and contain general industrial employment uses. The requested change to the urban structure would expand the surrounding Industrial Employment Area urban structure and would complement the surrounding industrial lands. Planning staff are of the opinion that the requested change to the urban structure to Industrial Employment Area is an appropriate location for industrial lands and is necessary to facilitate this proposal for an employment growth opportunity. Amendment: Land Use Designation Planning staff recommend that the land use designation be changed from Commercial to General Industrial Employment. diverse range of employment opportunities for the long term to support a vibrant economy. It also encourages the retention and development of industrial employment areas which are accessible to major existing or proposed transportation facilities Highways 7/8 and 401. Planning staff recognize that the subject site has historically been used for industrial purposes and that it meets the criteria for a prime industrial site. Since the change in land use designation to Commercial in 2013, the site has been vacant and no commercial use has been actualized on site. Changing the land use designation back to General Industrial Employment to match the historical use of the property aligns with employment areas and protection of prime industrial sites. The proposal also aligns with Official Plan policies that encourage the development of industrial employment areas that are transit-supportive, incorporate Transportation Demand Management measures, have a compact built form and minimize surface parking areas. The proposed development is located on existing transit routes and the new constructed multi-use pathway on Homer Watson Boulevard and will include Class A bicycle storage and shower facilities. From a land use compatibility perspective, the Official Plan also includes policies that discuss physical separation between new industrial employment uses and sensitive land uses. The subject lands are well suited to industrial employment uses with separation of over 150 m to the closest residential uses, separated and buffered by Homer Watson Boulevard, Steckle Woods and commercial uses. Staff also propose a site specific regulation that prohibits day care uses to address compatibility and a comment received from a proximate industrial business. Finally, from a sustainability perspective, the applicant has indicated in their Sustainability Statement that they are targeting LEED® Core and Shell certification for this development. This aligns with Official Plan policies for that encourage conservation of energy and water to be achieved within employment uses. Amendment: Removal of Specific Policy Area #30 from Subject Site Special Policy Area #30 was added to the Official Plan through OMB case PL121300 to change the land use designation and zoning to Commercial in 2013. It contains specific policies that limit the amount of commercial development on the site including maximum Gross Floor Area (GFA) regulations based on commercial uses. These policies refer to the former block numbers of subdivision 30T-13202 as they were implemented prior to the registration of the subdivision that legally created the parcels and assigned civic addresses. The policies refer to Block 5 (120 Bullock Street, subject site) and Block 6 (15 Pearson Street, not part of this application). Planning Staff recommend that Specific Policy Area #30 is amended to remove the reference to Block 5. Given the above recommendations to change the Urban Structure and land use designation to General Industrial Employment, the policies in Specific Policy Area #30 that references Block 5 are specific to commercial uses and would no longer be necessary. Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment: Zoning Amendment The subject property is zoned Arterial Commercial (COM-3) with Site Specific Provision 64 in Zoning By-law 19-051. The COM-3 zone is intended to accommodate the retailing of bulky, space intensive goods and service commercial uses predominately serving the travelling public within Arterial Corridors. The applicant has requested to change the zoning to General Industrial Employment (EMP-2). The EMP-2 Zone is intended to accommodate a broad range of industrial uses that are not noxious uses. The applicant intends to construct an approximately 47,000 square metre one storey industrial building on the subject site. The tenant mix is not known at this time but is expected to include a mix of warehousing and manufacturing. While warehousing is currently permitted under the COM-3 zoning, manufacturing is not. Staff is of the opinion that the historical industrial use on the subject site, as well as the criteria laid out in the Comprehensive Review of Employment Lands study justifies the requested change in zoning to General Industrial Employment. Site Specific Provisions Site Specific Provision 64 in the Zoning By-law 19-051 contains the same regulations as Special Policy Area #30 in the Official Plan. This site specific provision was also added as a result of the OMB decision in 2013. The regulations pertain to restrictions on GFA of uses that are commercial in nature. Staff is of the opinion that these regulations are no longer necessary with an amendment to General Industrial Employment zoning, and therefore is recommending that the site specific provision 64 be removed from the subject site. Planning Staff recommends that a new site specific provision (178) apply for the following: To establish parking rates for the development as follows: o minimum parking rate for manufacturing uses of 1 space per 200 square metres of GFA² o minimum electric vehicle parking of 1 space per 7500M² o minimum future electric vehicle parking of 1 space per 1125M² o minimum class A bicycle parking of 1 space per 1400M² o that shower and change facility requirement is to be calculated based on the amount of class A bicycle parking spaces for the total GFA of the building rather than based on individual occupancies, and that all units have access to at least one shower and change facility. Prohibit daycare use Prohibit geothermal energy systems Site Specific Parking Rates The minimum parking rate for manufacturing uses in By-law 19-051 is 1 space per 90 square metres. However, Planning staff are aware that the amount of floor space per employee can vary greatly among manufacturers. The size of the manufactured product, equipment needed, manufacturing process, and floor space needed per employee can be drastically different and result in different parking needs p capture the needs of a typical manufacturing operation to ensure that adequate parking is provided but does not always align with each manufacturing facility. If the current by-law rate was applied, the development would require approximately 524 parking spaces. At the proposed rate, this would be 235 parking spaces. The applicant is intending to build approximately 387 parking spaces (including trailer spaces for transport trucks). The minimum rates of electric vehicle and future electric vehicle parking are based on a percentage of the total required parking spaces in by-law 19-051. 2.5% of required parking spaces are to be electric vehicle spaces. 17.5% of required parking spaces are required to be future electric vehicle spaces. As the tenant mix and therefore uses are unknown at this time, staff is proposing to establish a rate for electric and future electric spaces based on the total GFA of the building rather than a percentage of total required spaces. The minimum parking rate for class A bicycle parking spaces is dependent on the use in by-law 19- 051. Both manufacturing and warehouse use requires 1 class A bicycle parking space per 1500M² whereas office use requires 1 per 500M². Staff is proposing rate based on the total GFA of 1 per 1400M² to capture the class A bicycle needs for the total building but to be calculated on the total building GFA rather than individual uses. Shower and change facilities are required based on the amount of class A bicycle parking spaces in by-law 19-051. The site specific provision is ensuring that the shower and change facilities required will be based on the total amount of class A bicycle parking required for the GFA of the entire building, rather than based on individual occupancies. All units will have access to at least one shower and change facility. The applicant is seeking to gain certainty in their parking layout and design so that further redesigns will not be required in the future based changes in tenancy. Planning and Transportation staff is of the opinion that the parking rates sought are appropriate and that there will be adequate parking on site for bicycles and vehicles, including electric vehicles. Public transit is another mode of transportation available as the site is serviced by a transit stop (GRT Route 12) located on the Bleams Road frontage. Based on the above, Planning staff is supportive of the proposed request to reduce the parking rate for manufacturing uses on the site. Prohibit daycare use The Region of Waterloo has requested that sensitive land uses be prohibited on the subject site due to the risk assessment that was approved as part of the Record of Site Condition for the overall subdivision site. Staff have identified that Daycare use (accessory to permitted uses) is the only sensitive land use that would be permitted under the base zone EMP-2 and is the only use that is necessary to include in the prohibition. Planning staff is in agreement with Regional Planning staff and recommends approval of this regulation in the proposed site specific provision 178. Prohibit geothermal energy systems The Region of Waterloo has identified the subject site as being within Wellhead Protection Sensitive Area 4 in Map 6a of the Regional Official Plan. In accordance with Section 8.A.14 of the Regional Official Plan, Regional Planning staff have requested a prohibition of geothermal energy systems on the subject site. Planning staff is in agreement with Regional Planning staff and recommends approval of this regulation in the proposed site specific provision 178. Department and Agency Comments: Preliminary circulation of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment was undertaken on May 17, 2021 to applicable City departments and other review authorities. No concerns were identified by any commenting City department or agency. Copies of the comments D The following reports and studies were considered as part of this proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment: Planning Justification Report Prepared by GSP Group Inc., April 30, 2021 Urban Design Report Prepared by GSP Group Inc., April 2021 Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report Prepared by MTE Consultants, April 30, 2021 Fire Flow Analysis Report Prepared by MTE Consultants, April 30, 2021 Tree Management Report Prepared by GSP Group Inc., April 28, 2021 Community Input and Staff Response: Staff mailed out a neighbourhood circulation letter to arrive the week of May 20, 2021 to properties within 120 metres of the subject site.

XX TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN OF THE CITY OF KITCHENER SECTION 1 TITLE AND COMPONENTS This amendment shall be referred to as Amendment No. ## to the Official Plan of the City of Kitchener. This amendment is comprised of Sections 1 to 4 inclusive. SECTION 2 PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to amend: Map 3 (Land Use) by redesignating lands from Commercial to General Industrial Employment, Map 2 (Urban Structure) by changing the urban structure on the subject lands from Arterial Commercial to Industrial Employment Area, Map 5 (Specific Policy Areas) by removing the subject lands from Specific Policy Area # 30 SECTION 3 BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT The subject lands are currently designated as Commercial. The lands are identified as Arterial Commercial in the urban structure of the Official Plan. Staff recommend that the application proposing to redesignate the lands to General Industrial Employment, change the urban structure to Industrial Employment Area, and remove Special Policy Area # 30 from the subject lands be approved. The planned function of Industrial Employment Areas is to support and maintain economic activity in the city by providing an adequate supply of land or a range of industrial-related employment uses and appropriate accessory and ancillary uses. The applications align with Provincial, Regional, and City policies and will contribute to the community. Planning staff are of the opinion the use of the subject lands for general industrial uses is appropriate for this location and will not have adverse impacts on the community. Planning staff is of the opinion that the requested application is consistent with the policies and intent of the Provincial Policy Statement. The proposed Official Plan Amendment will facilitate the use of the lands for employment uses and is compatible with the surrounding community. Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed Official Plan Amendment conforms to the Regional Official Plan (ROP). Regional policies encourage municipalities to designate and preserve lands that are in the proximity to major highway interchanges and rail yards as employment areas. The ROP also states contains the physical infrastructure and community infrastructure to support major growth, including transportation networks, municipal drinking-water supply systems and municipal wastewater systems, and a broad range of social and public health services. It is also well-served by the existing Regional transit system. For these reasons, lands within the Urban Area have the greatest capacity to accommodate growth and serve as the primary focus for employment, housing, cultural and recreational opportunities in the region.

Site Specific Comments & Issues: Proposed Parking for ZBA: o ağƓǒŅğĭƷǒƩźƓŭ uses of 1 space per 200 sq.m is supportable by Transportation Services; o Given the proposed amount of GFA that could potentially be dedicated to manufacturing uses as outlined in the Planning Justification Report, this requested special rate would yield a total amount of 232 spaces (46,215 sq.m/200) not including spaces based on any office uses, as opposed to the total of 514 spaces that the existing rate through the zoning by-law would require; o Given the typical types of employment models that could be utilized for manufacturing, it is unlikely that this site would ever utilize more than the proposed 232 spaces at one time, acknowledging that there would be additional parking capacity based on the proposed office use; o Additionally, it can be assumed that not all potential tenants (and thus not all proposed GFA) would necessarily fall under the Manufacturing use, thus resulting in a lower overall demand for parking than what the Manufacturing uses would require (ie. warehousing, offices, sales); o Other factors such as Class A bicycle parking and close proximity to transit would also help mitigate some need for vehicle parking on-site. Proposed Class A Bicycle Parking for ZBA: o Transportation Services is not supportive of the proposed reduced amount of Class A bicycle spaces for the site 15 spaces from the required 34 spaces; o Given the proximity to transit and residential areas, the provision of these Class A bicycle spaces encourages the use of active transportation and thus, could mitigate some demand for vehicle parking on-site, of which a reduction is also sought as noted above; o However, Transportation Services can support the calculation of required Class A bicycle spaces based on the entire GFA of the site (as noted on page 24 of the Planning divided into separate units, acknowledging that it may be more onerous to retrofit units as opposed to having a dedicated facility/area for all Class A bicycle spaces and the required shower and change facilities; o That said, based on the previous comment, the dedicated facility/area for Class A bicycle spaces and the shower and change facilities should be located in a central area that is accessible to all employees that will be accessing the site, and not located in one area that would become part of a unit once the building has been divided; o If the required amount of Class A bicycle spaces are to be calculated on the entire site GFA, and not on a per unit basis, it would not be reasonable to limit who can access these facilities by encapsulating all Class A bicycle spaces and shower and change facilities within one (1) unit of the divided building that is being proposed. Proposed Class B Bicycle Parking for ZBA: o Given the industrial employment uses intended for this site, it is not expected that extra Class B bicycle spaces will offset the reduction in Class A bicycle spaces/storage requested; o Class B bicycle spaces are intended for short term usage and do not provide security for long term use that employment shifts would demand. 2.

Site-Specific Comments & Issues: I have reviewed the documentation (as listed above) to support amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law from PDCP Block 5 industrial GP Inc. for the property located at 120 Bullock Street. There are some design modifications that must be addressed for the site plan application process to ensure the project fits in the context of the neighbourhood as detailed below: Where parking areas are located along Homer Watson boulevard, the landscape design shall employ a layered approach that will screen the lower portion of cars, and the edge of the parking surface with vegetation, while providing the planting of trees to assist in maintaining the street line and to provide visual relief from views of open parking areas. More planting islands to be provided to break up the long rows of parking stalls proposed along Homer Watson that can also offer walkway access points from the city sidewalk and multi-use trail. The intersection of Bleams Road and Homer Watson Boulevard should be designed as the central all-turns access point to the site, and as such, should be provided with a larger and distinctive landscape treatment to establish a central landscaped focal point. Provide outdoor amenity space for employees and customers. Spaces designed for frequent use should include hardscaped areas, seating, and weather protection. Sidewalk connection to be provided from the transit stop on Bleams Rd to the building entrances. Provide the location of garbage storage and snow storage on the plan. The garbage storage should be located at the side of the site such that they are not visible from the public realm. Enclosures should be provided if the garbage storage is highly visible from the public realm. The proposed loading area is highly visible from Bullock Street. Locate service, loading and storage areas at the side such that they are not visible from the street, whenever possible. Avoid storing dumpsters or industrial products outdoors. If necessary, fully screen loading area from Bolluck street and Bleams Road utilizing high-quality landscaping. Where appropriate include trees, mid- height plants such as shrubs or tall grasses and ground covers. Design these areas to be visually appealing and easily maintainable. All utility locations including meter room and transformer room to be shown on the layout. Building-mounted or ground-based AC units should be located away from public view and fully screened, Otherwise, screen these elements visually with landscaping and architectural features that are integrated into the building design as a whole. Coordinate streetscape and landscape design with utilities and infrastructure to minimize visual clutter and points of conflict. Include bicycle parking, located near the main pedestrian entrance(s). Covered and enclosed bicycle parking is recommended for employees. Provide details of proposed public art on the landscape plan Preliminary Floor plans and building unit breakdown should be provided. 2. Comments on Submitted Documents The following comments should be addressed at this time. Tree Management Plan: Written permission for removal of or impact to trees in joint ownership along property lines is required The Tree Protection Fencing should be extended along the south property lines at dripline + 1m to provide sufficient protection to all trees. For safety reasons, additional information and confirmation should be provided for trees in poor condition that have been proposed to be retained. Preliminary Building Elevations: All building elevations visible to the public street should be designed with care and demonstrate a consistency of materials, quality, and details. The proposed building façade along Bleams Road shall be designed to provide visual interest through the use of changes in planes, overhangs, glazing, and fenestrations. Additional architectural elements should be used to provide visual punctuations and add definition to prevent long, unbroken building elevation. Please ensure all mechanical structures that are roof-mounted are screened from public views. All visible elements of a building, including utilities (meters, conduits), HVAC (a/c units, vents) and loading/servicing areas are to be integrated into the design of the building and shown on elevation drawings as part of the building elevation approval process.

Box 1118, Kitchener, ON N2G 4G7 Dear Mr. Schneider, Re: Proposed Official Plan Amendment OPA 21-003 and Zoning By-law Amendment ZBA 21-006 120 Bullock Street GSP Group Inc. (C/O Heather Price) on behalf of PDCP Block 5 Industrial GP Inc. /PDCP Block 5 Industrial Limited Partnership CITY OF KITCHENER _____________________________________________ GSP Group Inc. has submitted an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment for a development proposal at 120 Bullock Street in the City of Kitchener. The purpose and effect of the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment is to facilitate the construction of a 47,295 square metre (509,709 square foot) industrial building with associated surface trailer and car parking areas located on site. The applicant has proposed two (2) accesses from Bullock Street and has proposed 77 tractor-trailer spaces adjacent to the Bullock Street frontage with 391 surface parking spaces along the Homer Watson Street frontage. Landscaping has also been proposed throughout the site with the majority of the landscaping being located along the Homer Watson Blvd. frontage. To facilitate the development, the owner has requested an Official Plan Amendment to amend the Urban Structure of the subject lands from the Arterial Corridor to Industrial Employment and amend the land use designation from the Commercial Designation to the General Industrial Employment Designation. In addition, the applicant is proposing 5ƚĭǒƒĻƓƷ bǒƒĬĻƩʹ ЌАЉЏЊБЌ ĻƩƭźƚƓʹ Њ to remove Special Policy Area #30 from the subject lands. Special Policy Area #30 permitted additional commercial and retail uses on the lands. In addition, the applicant has applied for a Zoning By-law Amendment to amend the Zoning of the subject lands from the Arterial Commercial (COM-3) Zone to the General Industrial Employment (EMP-2) Zone. The Region has had the opportunity to review the recent proposal and offers the following: Regional Comments Consistency with Provincial Legislation and Regional Official Plan Conformity - the Regional Official Plan (ROP) and the site is designed Commercial in the City of Kitchener Official Plan and zoned Arterial Commercial (COM-3) Zone in the Zoning By- law. The applicant is proposing to amend the commercial land uses to permit an industrial development on a vacant parcel of land in proximity to an industrial park in the City of Kitchener. Section 1.3 of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 requires planning authorities to promote economic development and competiveness by providing opportunities for a diversified economic base including maintaining a range and choice of suitable sites for employment uses and identifying strategic sites for investment, including market-ready sites that have necessary infrastructure to support current and projected needs. Furthermore, Section 2.2.5 of A Place to Grow Growth Plan establishes policies that encourage economic development and competitiveness by ensuring there is sufficient land in appropriate locations to accommodate the forecasted employment growth. Regional staff recognize that the site is located in proximity to an existing employment area within the Built-Up Area of the City of Kitchener and the amendment would facilitate a market ready site with the necessary infrastructure available to support the projected employment needs within the Region. In addition to the above, Chapter 4 of the Regional Official Plan establishes policies for Municipalities to designate and preserve lands in the Urban Area that are in proximity to major highway interchanges, rail yards or the Region of Waterloo International Airport as employment areas. Regional staff recognize that the subject lands are in proximity to an existing industrial area of the Region and that the subject lands have frontage on two Regional Roads (Bleams Road and Homer Watson Boulevard), with direct access to Provincial Highway 401. Regional staff are supportive of employment land uses in appropriate areas of the Region and have no objection to the applications. Furthermore, Regional staff wish to advise the applicant of the following technical comments related to the proposal: 5ƚĭǒƒĻƓƷ bǒƒĬĻƩʹ ЌАЉЏЊБЌ ĻƩƭźƚƓʹ Њ Corridor Planning Access Permit/TIS/Access Regulation: The subject lands (120 Bullock Street, Kitchener) appear to use two accesses from the site to Bullock Street, with no direct vehicular access locations to Regional Road 28 (Homer Watson Boulevard) or Regional Road 56 (Bleams Road) as shown on the concept plan described as Figure 6 within the Planning Justification Report (prepared by GSP Group Inc. dated April 30, 2021). The Region of Waterloo has no concerns with the proposed access design shown on Figure 6 (Planning Justification Report prepared by GSP Group Inc. dated April 30, 2021), and a Regional Road Access Permit will not be required as access is not proposed from the Regional Road network through the concept plan provided. Stormwater Management & Site Grading: Both completed by MTE. Regional corridor planning staff have reviewed the plans and report and have no objection to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Detailed comments related to the civil engineering plans will be provided under separate cover and can be addressed under a future Site Plan application. Environmental Threats/Record of Site Condition Regional staff acknowledge the applicant has received a Record of Site Condition (RSC No. 225537) which has an approved Risk Assessment and Certificate of Property Use. The Risk Assessment and Certificate of Property Use must continue to be complied with. Please note that the Record of Site Condition does not list sensitive land uses as a permitted use, however the EMP-2 Zone permits a day care facility as an accessory use to the intended primary industrial land use. Regional staff request that a prohibition on sensitive land uses (such as a day care facility) be written into the Zoning By- law Amendment. Risk Management Please note that a Risk Management Plan has been negotiated for this property and the Section 59 Notice is valid. There are no further comments or requirements from a Risk Management perspective at this time.

This is directly across the street from the subject property. We are a metal stamping facility that is currently exempt from environmental noise guidelines due to our distance from sensitive receptors. While we support the change in zoning, we have concerns that the zoning would allow for a daycare. Is there a mechanism that would allow for the other types of uses in EMP-2 WITHOUT allowing a daycare facility? A daycare would be impacted by the noise from our facility, and likely the other industrial facilities surrounding the subject area. Thank you for your assistance, Sarah Tebbutt, P.Eng, MBA CEO - Trillium Metal Stampings (519)748-5295 ex 243 (519)590-0335 (mobile) sarah@trilliummetal.com Comprehensive Employment Lands Review KITCHENER KITCHENER Employment Lands Protected Employment Urban Growth Centre Major Transit Station Area Fischer Hallman Study Area Hidden Valley Study Area Y A W R I A F Rapid Transit Stations Light Rail Transit Future Light Rail Transit Adapted Bus Rapid Transit 800 m from Rapid Transit Station 0120.5 Km Rapid Transit: Region of Waterloo- Planning (Draft 2009) Corporate Services Department Information Technology - GIS March 22, 2010 B-1
