REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: The purpose of this report is to recommend conditional approval of consent applications B2022-012 and B2022-013 to facilitate a larger development parcel for 30 Breithaupt Street and to resolve construction financing complications. There are no financial implications to the City. This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: This report is being brought forward to recommend approval of a consent application to sever a portion of 20 Breithaupt Street and convey it to 30 Breithaupt Street as a lot addition. Also, consent is being sought to release a mortgage from the severed lands and the retained lands. The purpose of the subject applications is to create a larger development parcel for 30 Breithaupt Street, to permit future development of an office building, and to resolve construction financing complications. Planning staff recommends approval, with conditions, of both applications. REPORT: Planning Comments: The subject property is municipally addressed as 20 Breithaupt Street and is located at the northeast corner of Breithaupt Street and Moore Avenue, north of downtown. The subject property is part of a complex of buildings located on both sides of Breithaupt Street that are occupied by Google. An 11-storey office building is presently under construction on the subject property. The building is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2022. The applicant advises that prior to the construction, the property consisted of an area that included both 20 Breithaupt Street and 30 Breithaupt Street, but due to construction financing obligations for 20 Breithaupt Street, the applicant was obligated to legally place 20 Breithaupt Street in a separate ownership from 30 Breithaupt Street. The subject property is designated Mixed Use on Map 3 Land Use and Specific Policy Area 39 (Breithaupt Block Phase 3) on Map 5 Specific Policy Areas in 2014 Official Plan. The property is zoned High Intensity Mixed Use Corridor Zone (MU-3) with Special Regulation Provisions 716R and 717R and Special Use Provision 465U in Zoning By-law 85-1. The property is not presently zoned under By-law 2019-051 (a by-law emanating -law). The adjacent property, municipally addressed as 30 Breithaupt Street, is currently used as a surface parking lot. However, a site plan application has been submitted to the City for a future 4 storey office development (Site Plan Application SP21/120/B/AP). Figure 2. View of subject property from Breithaupt Street. At this time, the applicant is seeking approval of two consent applications, as noted below: Consent Application B2022-012: Consent to sever a parcel of land with an approximate width ranging between 9.6 metres and 12.0 metres, a depth of 48.1 metres, and an area of 567.5 square metres, and convey it as a lot addition to the property municipally addressed as 30 Breithaupt Street, and Consent for a partial discharge of a mortgage for the severed lands. Consent Application B2022-013: Consent for a partial discharge of a mortgage for the retained lands. The applicant advises that their request for consent, if approved, would achieve the following: Realign the property boundary between 20 Breithaupt and 30 Breithaupt, prior to completion of construction at 20 Breithaupt Street for construction financing closeout (the application will resolve construction financing complications); and Realign the property boundary between 20 Breithaupt Street and30 Breithaupt Street to support the future development of a 4-storey building on 30 Breithaupt Street. It should be noted that no minor variances are required to facilitate the applications; the resultant lots will comply with the Zoning By-law. Parking for the subject property is primarily accommodated within a private, off-site parking garage located at 305 Joseph Street. A registered off-site parking agreement currently exists to ensure parking supply is maintained. However, the consent application would result in 18 parking spaces being lost to the enlarged 30 Breithaupt Street property. Accordingly, Planning staff recommends that as a condition of approval, that the applicant obtain a revision to the registered off-site parking agreement, to allocate an additional 18 off-site parking spaces to the parking garage at 305 Joseph Street. In addition, Planning staff recommends that the applicant submit and obtain approval of a revision to the Site Plan Application for 20 Breithaupt to reflect changes related to the subject consent application. For example, the site plan should be changed to update the property boundary; add FSR statistics and calculations; and update parking statistics, including how barrier-free spaces will be accommodated. With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51 (24) of the Planning the dimensions and shapes of the resultant parcels are appropriate and suitable for the existing and proposed uses, the resultant parcels front onto established public streets, and the resultant parcels will be serviced with adequate municipal services. The requested consent for lot addition will facilitate a larger parcel for appropriate commercial (office) intensification (severed lands plus 30 Breithaupt Street) and will ensure that the nearly constructed 11 storey office building on the retained lands (20 Breithaupt Street) is able to function effectively. Planning staff has no concerns with either request for a partial discharge of mortgages. In this regard, subject to conditions outlined in the Recommendation section, Planning staff recommends approval of both applications. Environmental Planning Comments: Both applications: No natural heritage / tree management policy issues. Building Division Comments: Both applications: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent. Transportation Services Comments: Both applications: Transportation Services does not have any concerns with the proposed application.

B 2022-013 20 Breithaupt Street (Retained): Engineering has no comments. Parks and Cemeteries Comments: Both application: Parkland dedication is not required for this application as no new developable lot has been created (lot addition). Region of Waterloo Comments: Both applications: The owner/applicant is proposing a lot addition in favour of 30 Breithaupt Street and to allow partial discharge(s) of mortgage(s) on the severed lands. These consent applications will realign the property boundary between 20 Breithaupt Street and 30 Breithaupt Street and support the future development of a 4-storey building on 30 Breithaupt. Regional Fee: The owner/applicant is required to submit the Regional consent review fee of $350.00 per consent application ($350.00 x 2 applications = $700.00) prior to final approval of the consent.

However, should noise sensitive development be proposed for the subject lands, Regional staff advise that there would be noise impacts from nearby environmental noise sources (road traffic and rail) in the vicinity.
