REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The application is requesting to sever the subject lands into two lots to build a semi-detached duplex
dwelling.
Location Map: 113 Walter Street
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on Walter Street and is identified as on
Map 2 - Urban Structure in the 2014 Official Plan and designated Low Rise Conservation in the K-
W Hospital Secondary Plan in the 1994 Official Plan.
The property is zoned as Residential Five Zone (R-5) in Zoning By-law 85-1.
REPORT:
Planning Comments:
The applicant is requesting consent to create one new lot and retain one lot equal in size. To facilitate
the redevelopment of the subject lands the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing duplex
dwelling on the property and replace it with a semi-detached duplex dwelling.
Both the severed and retained lots would have a lot width of 7.62 metres, a depth of 44.19 metres,
and an area of 336 square metres.
City Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the property on January 24, 2022.
Existing Duplex Dwelling at 113 Walter Street (January 24, 2022)
Zoning By-law
The subject property is zoned as Residential Five Zone (R-5) in Zoning By-law 85-1. The R-5 zone
permits a range of low density dwelling types such as semi detached duplex dwellings. The R-5
Zone requires a minimum lot width of 7.5 metres and minimum lot area of 235 square metres for
semi detached duplex dwellings. The proposed lot widths and lot areas of the proposed severed and
retained lots exceed the minimum R-5 zone lot width and lot area requirements.
Official Plan
The subject lands are designated Low Rise Conservation within the K-W Hospital Secondary Plan
in the 1994 Official Plan. The Low Rise Conservation land use designation permits a full range of
low density housing types. The Low Rise Conservation designation aims to preserve the existing
low rise scale of the neighbourhood.
The proposed severance and use would conform with the residential land use designation.
Section 17.E.20.5 of the Official Plan implements Section 51 of the Planning Act and contains
policies regarding infill development and lot creation (Consent Policies).These policies state the
following:
a)the lots comply with the policies of this Plan, any Community Plan and/or Secondary
Plan, and that the lots are in conformity with the Zoning By-law, or a minor variance
has been granted to correct any deficiencies;
b) the lots reflect the general scale and character of the established development pattern
of surrounding lands by taking into consideration lot frontages, areas, and
configurations;
c) all of the criteria for plan of subdivision are given due consideration;
d) the lot will have frontage on a public street;
e) municipal water services are available;
f) municipal sanitary services are available except in accordance with Policy 14.C.1.19;
g) a Plan of Subdivision or Condominium has been deemed not to be necessary for
proper and orderly development; and,
h)
The proposed lot widths and lot areas of the proposed severed and retained lots exceed the
minimum R-5 zone lot width and lot area requirements and minor variances are not required.
Planning staff is of the opinion that the size, dimension and shape of the proposed lots are suitable
for the use of the lands and compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood which is developed with
single detached, semi detached and multiple dwellings with lots sizes that vary in width, depth, and
area. The lands front onto a public street and full services are available. There are no natural heritage
features that would be impacted by the proposed consent application. The proposed building will
retain the scale of the existing neighbourhood.
Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed severance conforms with the City of Kitchener
Official Plan.
Provincial Policy Statement, 2020:
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest
related to land use planning and development. Section 1.4.3(b) of the PPS promotes all types of
residential intensification, and sets out a policy framework for sustainable healthy, liveable and safe
communities. The PPS promotes efficient development and land use patterns, as well as
accommodating an appropriate mix of affordable and market-based residential dwelling types with
other land uses, while supporting the environment, public health and safety. Provincial policies
promote the integration of land use planning, growth management, transit-supportive development,
intensification, and infrastructure planning to achieve cost-effective development patterns,
optimization of transit investments, and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs.
Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed application will facilitate a form of gentle
intensification of the subject property with the creations of lots and future semi-detached duplex
dwellings that are compatible with the surrounding community and will make use of the existing
infrastructure. No new public roads would be required for the proposed development. Planning staff
is of the opinion that this proposal is consistent with the PPS.
A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020 (Growth Plan):
The Growth Plan supports the development of complete and compact communities that are designed
to support healthy and active living, make efficient use of land and infrastructure, provide for a range
and mix of housing types, jobs, and services, at densities and in locations which support transit
viability and active transportation. The subject lands are in close proximity tohigh ordertransit and
the subject lands are in closer proximity to trails and parks.
Policy 2.2.6.1(a) Municipalities will support housing choice through the achievement of the minimum
intensification and targets in this plan by identifying a diverse range and mix of housing options and
densities, including additional residential units and affordable housing to meet projected needs of
current and future residents.
lopment
targets. The severance application will help make efficient use of existing infrastructure, parks,
roads, trails and transit. Planning staff is of the opinion that the development proposal conforms to
the Growth Plan.
Regional Official Plan (ROP):
Urban Area. The subject lands are designated Built-Up Area in the ROP. The proposed development
conforms to Policy 2.D.1 of the ROP as this neighbourhood provides for the physical infrastructure
and community infrastructure to support the proposed residential development, including
transportation networks, municipal drinking-water supply and wastewater systems, and a broad
range of social and public health services. Regional policies require Area Municipalities to plan for a
range of housing in terms of form, tenure, density and affordability to satisfy the various physical,
social, economic and personal support needs of current and future residents. Planning staff are of
the opinion that the severance application conforms to the Regional Official Plan.
Planning Conclusions
With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51(24) of the Planning Act,
R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, staff is satisfied that the creation of the severed lots are desirable and
appropriate. The uses of both the severed and retained parcels are in conformity with th
Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Planning staff is of the opinion that the size, dimension and shape
of the proposed lots are suitable for the use of the lands and compatible with the surrounding
community. There are existing schools within the neighbourhood. Staff is further of the opinion that
the proposal is consistent with the Region of Waterloo Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement,
conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and is good planning and in the
public interest.
Building Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent. Region of Waterloo and Area
Municipalities' Design Guidelines and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal Services (DGSSMS)
allows only one service per lot. Separate building permit(s) will be required for the demolition of the
existing building, as well as construction of the new residential buildings.
Heritage Comments:
No cultural heritage issues or concerns.
Environmental Planning Comments:
The standard condition will be required for the owner to enter into an agreement registered on title
of both the severed and retained lands requiring a Tree Preservation / Enhancement Plan to be
submitted and approved before a building/demolition permit will be issued.
