EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Planning Staff is recommending approval of the requested Zoning By-law Amendment application to: amend Zoning By-law 2019-051 by removing site Specific Regulation Provisions 223 and 232 for the subject lands; add a new Site Specific Provision (342) to Zoning By-law 2019-051 to regulate Floor Space Ratio (FSR), the required side yard setback, and the minimum required parking; and amend Special Regulation 744R in Zoning By-law 85-1 to further regulate Floor Space Ratio (FSR) and Required Parking. BACKGROUND: The City of Kitchener has received an application for a Zoning By-law Amendment from Windom KW Inc for a development concept that proposes a three-storey multiple dwelling building with twenty- four (24) residential units and twenty-four (24) surface parking spaces. The subject property is identified as `Community Areas' on the City's Urban Structure (Map 2 - City of Kitchener Official Plan) and designated as `Low Rise Residential' (Map 3 - City of Kitchener Official Plan). In 2018, Council approved Zoning By-law Amendment application ZC16/001/W/ATP to change the zoning from Residential Five Zone (R-5) to Residential Six Zone (R-6) to legalize an existing 5 -unit multiple dwelling. A Special Regulation Provision (744R) was added to the lands to prohibit certain uses (hospice, lodging house, etc.) and to cap the unit total at 5 units to recognize the existing dwellings. J This image cannot currently be displayed. Figure 1 — Existing Dwelling on Site (5 units) Page 282 of 336 Between 2019 and now, a new Zoning By-law (2019-051) has been approved by Council. Special Regulation Provision 744R in Zoning By-law 85-1 was carried forward into the new Zoning By-law as Site Specific Provisions 223 and 232. The new Zoning being applied to these lands was approved by Council on March 21 st, 2022 and is currently under appeal. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would amend special use provision 744R in Zoning By- law 85-1 and create a new site specific provision (342) in Zoning By-law 2019-051. The amended special use provision and new site specific provision would establish special regulations for Floor Space Ratio (FSR), side yard setback, and required parking. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would also remove the site specific provisions 223 and 232 from the lands in Zoning By-law 2019-051. Site Context The subject property is addressed as 42 Windom Road and is on the west side of Windom Road. The lot area of the subject site is approximately 0.18 hectares and the lot frontage is 25.9 metres. The lands contain one five -unit multiple dwelling building. The surrounding neighbourhood contains a mix of low-rise multiple dwellings, semi-detached, and single detached dwellings. The subject property is located near the terminus of Windom Road which abuts Howard Robertson Public School, an elementary school. � O q- O� SUBJECT AREA 0 COO 0CO /1/Q U� o°D F � Figure 2 - Location Map: 42 Windom Road Page 283 of 336 REPORT: The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and develop the subject property with a 3 -storey, 24 -unit multiple dwelling building. The building is proposed to be cantilevered, with vehicular access under the building leading to the parking area at the rear of the site. Twenty-four (24) surface parking spaces, including two visitor parking spaces and one barrier free parking space are proposed. Twenty-one (2 1) bicycle parking spaces, including fifteen (15) enclosed and secured spaces for residents, and six (6) short-term spaces on an outdoor bicycle rack, are proposed. n R� FIRE RO.f1E x.63 .eV tfr SF4LE5 9 �.tim—w.�0 1+4 50 J. r.� 6M 144rm 1.�CONCRETE SIOEWALK W. Ver ax axe a3v e'u aw e.x A-11sa 71.35 Figure 3- Original Development Concept Figure 4- Revised Development Concept Through the review and evaluation of this application, a revised development concept has been prepared. The original concept proposed a long narrow building that did not orient units towards the street, located surface parking close to the street, oriented massing along the side property line, and did not contain sufficient amenity space. The revised concept introduces the building cantilever design feature that orients the massing towards the street, moves the parking to the rear of the site to be screened by the building, and allows for provision of an adequate on-site amenity area. To facilitate the redevelopment of the lands, a Zoning By-law Amendment is proposed. The Zoning By-law Amendment would remove the cap of 5 units, and establish a new site specific provision to Page 284 of 336 create development standards for Floor Space Ratio (FSR), side yard setback, and required and visitor parking. 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. Section 1.4.3 (d) of the PPS promotes densities for new housing which efficiently use land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities. The PPS 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 contribute to an appropriate mix of housing types within the context of the surrounding neighbourhood. The subject lands are within an existing neighbourhood with adequate servicing capacity, road network capacity, and other required infrastructure and therefore represents a cost-effective development pattern that minimized land consumption and servicing costs. 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 supports the development of completeand 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. 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. Policy 2.2.1.4(a) This plan will support the achievement of Complete Communities that feature a diverse mix of land uses, including residential and employment uses, and convenient access to local stores, services and public service facilities. The proposed development represents multiple dwelling residential, which will contribute to a greater mix of housing types in the neighbourhood. The existing neighbourhood is well served by local stores, services, and public service facilities such as a commercial plaza on the corner of Fairway Road North and River Road East, and the City's Centreville Chicopee Community Centre, just 250 metres away. Planning staff is of the opinion that the development proposal conforms to the Growth Plan. Regional Official Plan (ROP), 2010: Urban Area policies of the ROP identify that the focus of the Region's future growth will be within the 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 Page 285 of 336 range of social and public health services. Regional policies require the City 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. Regional staff have indicated that they have no objections to the proposed applications (Attachment `C'). Planning staff are of the opinion that the applications conform to the Regional Official Plan. City of Kitchener Official Plan: Urban Structure The subject lands are identified as a `Community Areas' in the City's Urban Structure (Map 2). The planned function of Community Areas is to provide residential uses as well as non-residential supporting uses intended to serve the immediate residential areas. Community Areas may have limited intensification with development being sensitive and compatible with the character, form, and planned function of the surrounding context. Land Use Designation The subject lands are designated `Low Rise Residential' in the City's Official Plan (Map 3). Low Rise Residential areas are intended to accommodate a full range of low density housing types including single detached, semi-detached, townhouse, and low-rise multiple dwellings. The Low Rise Residential designation states that the City will encourage and support the mixing and integrating of innovative and different forms of housing to achieve and maintain a low-rise built form. No buildings shall exceed 3 storeys or 11 metres in height. Planning staff is of the opinion that the requested zoning by-law amendment represents a housing form that conforms with the Low Rise Residential land use designation in the City's Official Plan. Transportation The City's Official Plan contains policies to develop, support, and maintain a complete, convenient, accessible and integrated transportation system that incorporates active transportation, public transit, and accommodates vehicular traffic. In regard to alternate modes of transportation, objectives of the Official Plan include promoting land use planning and development that is integrated and conducive to the efficient and effective operation of public transit, and encourages increased ridership of the public transit system. The City shall promote and encourage walking and cycling as safe and convenient modes of transportation. The proposed development aims to increase density on an existing site that is served well by public transit, with access to Grand River Transit Routes 1, 8 and iXpress Route 206. The proposed development concept includes provision of safe, secure indoor bicycle storage to encourage active transportation. Staff is of the opinion that the requested zoning by-law amendment conforms with the transportation policies of the City's Official Plan. Urban Design The City is committed to achieving a high standard of urban design, architecture and place -making to positively contribute to quality of life, environmental viability and economic vitality. Urban design is a vital component of city planning and goes beyond the visual and aesthetic characterof individual buildings and also considers the functionality and compatibility of development as a means of strengthening complete communities. Urban Design policies in the 2014 Official Plan support creating visually distinctive and identifiable places, structures and spaces that contribute to a strong sense of place and community pride, a distinct character and community focal points that promote and recognize excellence and innovation in architecture, urban design, sustainable building design and landscape design. The City will require high quality urban design in the review of all development applications through the implementation of the policies of the Official Plan and the City's Urban Design Manual. Page 286 of 336 The revised development concept with a cantilevered vehicle entrance represents an innovative and efficient housing form that assists in meeting and achieving several urban design objectives. Firstly, the massing and orientation of the building is facing toward the street and the public realm. Opportunities for windows, doors and balconies facing the public realm will help to activate the streetscape and provide visual interest. Secondly, the cantilever allows the building to screen the surface parking at the rear of the site. Urban Design policies favour the screening of vehicle storage to ensure the streetscape is not dominated by vehicles, which can be achieved using this building design. Finally, the building design provides space at the rear of the site for an on-site at grade amenity space to be used by future residents. Provision of amenity space is a critical urban design feature for multiple residential developments. Housing The City's primary objective with respect to housing in the Official Plan is to provide for an appropriate range, variety and mix of housing types and styles, densities, tenure and affordability to satisfy the varying housing needs of our community through all stages of life. This low rise multiple dwelling proposal can be considered a "missing middle" housing type by providing an option that bridges the gap between high density residential towers and single detached dwellings. The proposed housing type is an important segment in Kitchener's housing continuum. Policy 4.C.1.9. Residential intensification and/or redevelopment within existing neighbourhoods will be designed to respect existing character. A high degree of sensitivity to surrounding context is important in considering compatibility. Policy 4.C.1.12. The City favours a land use pattern which mixes and disperses a full range of housing types and styles both across the city as a whole and within neighbourhoods. Policy 4.C.1.22: The City will encourage the provision of a range of innovative housing types and tenures such as rental housing, freehold ownership and condominium ownership including common element condominium, phased condominium and vacant land condominium, as a means of increasing housing choice and diversity. Based on the above housing policies, staff is of the opinion that the application conforms to the Official Plan. Policy Conclusion Planning staff are of the opinion that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is consistent with policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Regional Official Plan and the City of Kitchener Official Plan, and represents good planning. Proposed Zoning By-IawAmendment: The subject lands are currently zoned both in Zoning By-law 85-1 and Zoning By-law 2019-051 (currently under appeal). Changes to both By-laws are necessary as part of this Zoning By-law Amendment and are described separately below. Zoning By-law 85-1: The subject lands are currently zoned `Residential Six Zone (R-6)' with Special Regulation Provision 744R and Special Use Provision 470U in Zoning By-law 85-1. The applicant has requested to amend Special Regulation Provision 744R in Zoning By-law 85-1 Page 287 of 336 The amendment would remove the cap of a maximum of 5 dwelling units and replace it with site specific development standards for the proposed multiple residential development. Current wording of Special Regulation Provision 744R. Notwithstanding Section 40.2.6 of this By-law, the maximum number of dwelling units in a multiple dwelling shall be five. Proposed new revised wording of Special Regulation Provision 744R Notwithstanding Section 40.2.6 of this By-law, the following regulations shall apply. a) The maximum Floor Space Ratio (FSR) shall be 0.7 b) The minimum required parking shall be 1 space per unit c) The minimum required visitor parking shall be 8% of required parking V. I I : :iMIFFIVI iSF%ai167i The subject lands are zoned `Low Rise Residential Five Zone (RES -5)' with Site -Specific Provisions 223 and 232 in Zoning By-law 2019-051 (currently under appeal). The applicant has requested to remove Site Specific Provisions 223 and 232, which cap the total dwelling units at 5 and not permit certain other uses in the RES -5 zone. The current wording is provided below: (223) — Within the lands zoned RES -5 and shown as affected by this provision on Zoning Grid Schedule 239 of Appendix A, the maximum number of dwelling units in a multiple dwelling shall be five and the following uses shall not be permitted: a) hospice,- b) ospice,b) lodging house,- c) ouse,c) an additional dwelling unit (attached) associated with a semi-detached dwelling; and, d) street townhouse dwelling. (232) — Within the lands zoned RES -5 and shown as affected by this provision on Zoning Grid Schedule 239 of Appendix A, the maximum number of dwelling units in a multiple dwelling shall be five and the following uses shall not be permitted: a) hospice; b) lodging house,- c) ouse,c) additional dwelling unit (attached) in association with a semi-detached dwelling; and, d) street townhouse dwelling. The applicant is proposing to add Site Specific Provision (342) as follows (342) — Notwithstanding Tables 5-5 and 7-6 of this By-law within the lands zoned RES -5 and shown as affected by this subsection on Zoning Grid Schedule Number 239 of Appendix A, the following special regulations shall apply.- a) pply.a) The maximum Floor Space Ratio (FSR) shall be 0.7 b) The minimum required parking shall be 1 space per unit c) The minimum required visitor parking shall be 8% of required parking d) The minimum side yard setback shall be 2.5 metres Staff offer the following comments with respect to the requested amendments and special regulations. Removal of unit cap of 5 units The cap of 5 dwelling units was established in 2018 to legalize an existing 5 -unit multiple dwelling. The applicant has now proposed to demolish that building and replace it with a 24 -unit multiple Page 288 of 336 dwelling. Staff are supportive of the proposed redevelopment of the site with a low-rise multiple dwelling building and do not have concerns with the removal of the restriction of 5 dwelling units in a multiple dwelling. Floor Space Ratio The maximum floor space ratio in both zoning by-laws is 0.6. Policy 15.D.3.11 of the Official Plan allows for increases up to 0.75 as follows: "15.D.3.11. A maximum Floor Space Ratio of 0.6 will apply to all development and redevelopment. Site-specific increases to allow up to a maximum Floor Space Ratio of 0.75 may be considered where it can be demonstrated that the increase in the Floor Space Ratio is compatible and meets the general intent of the policies in this Plan. An Official Plan Amendment MI be required to consider an increase in the Floor Space Ratio greater than 0.75. " Increases in Floor space ratio between 0.6 and 0.75 require demonstration of compatibility and meeting the general intent of the policies of the Official Plan. Compatibility is defined in the Official Plan as: "Land uses and building forms that are mutually tolerant and capable of existing together in harmony within an area without causing unacceptable adverse effects, adverse environmental impacts or adverse impacts. Compatibility or compatible should not be narrowly interpreted to mean "the same as" or even as "being similar to." The existing surrounding neighbourhood on Windom Road is made up of a mix of low-rise housing types, including multiple dwellings. Adjacent to the subject lands at 48 Windom Road is a 12 unit townhome multiple dwelling development. The road also contains single and semi-detached dwellings. The wider surrounding neigbourhood contains larger multiple dwelling buildings. The property abutting the rear of the subject lands is a 4 -storey, 30 -unit multiple dwelling building. The proposed building at 3 storeys and 24 -units is similar to, and compatible with, the surrounding neighbourhood in the opinion of Planning Staff. Required Parking &Visitor Parking The applicant is requesting a parking rate of 1 space per unit, including 8% visitor parking. This would result in a total of twenty-four (24) parking spaces; twenty-two (22) spaces for residents and two (2) visitor spaces. In addition to vehicle parking spaces, the applicant is proposing fifteen (15) indoor secured bicycle parking spaces, and six (6) outdoor short-term bicycle parking spaces. The location of the site is well served by existing public transit. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed complement of vehicle and bicycle storage on site is adequate and a full range of transportation options are available to future residents. Side Yard Setback The applicant is proposing a side yard setback of 2.5 metres, a slight reduction from the minimum 3 metres required in Zoning By-law 2019-051.The cantilevered building design provides unit orientation towards the front and rear of the site, which helps to mitigate impacts to side yards. Given this proposed design, Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed 2.5 metre side yard setback is appropriate for this site. Department and Agency Comments: Preliminary circulation of the Zoning By-law Amendment was undertaken on January 21, 2021 to applicable City departments and other review authorities. No major concerns were identified by any commenting City department or agency. Copies of the comments are found in Attachment "C" of this report.

This will result in too many people 2 visitor parking spaces are included. Street parking is for parking on the street on Windom temporary use only and cannot exceed use for 3 hours. Road Residents will be aware of the parking availability before choosing to rent a unit. The on -street parking rules are enforceable by the City's By-law Enforcement staff. The proposed development will remain a low-rise residential use, which is permitted in the Low Rise This development is too large for Residential land use designation in the Official Plan. The this site scale and massing is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and the use is present on Windom Road, including adjacent to the subject property. The number of units for the proposed development is low The proposed development will and does not warrant a detailed traffic study. Staff have result in an increase in traffic. directed residents to Regional transportation staff to Current conditions for turning onto discuss the existing condition at nearby Thaler Ave and Fairwary Road from Thaler Avenue Fairway Road North (Regional Road).

The development should be redesigned to incorporate and protect existing healthy trees onsite and eliminate any need for tree removals offsite. 3. Policies, Standards and Resources: • As per Section 8.C.2 — Urban Forests of the Official Plan ... e policy 8.C.2.16., the City requires the preparation and submission of a tree management plan in accordance with the City's Tree Management Policy (available on the City's Website), as a condition of a development application. A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 294 of 336 policy 8.C.2.6., the City will incorporate existing and/or new trees into the streetscape or road rights-of-way and encourage new development or redevelopment to incorporate, protect and conserve existing healthy trees and woodlands in accordance with the Urban Design Policies in Section 13 (Landscape and Natural Features) of the Urban Design Manual (UDM) and the Development Manual.

Site Specific Comments & Issues: Minimize the visual impact of parking through the thoughtful placement, orientation and articulation of built form. Site building to face and activate the public realm. The building should occupy a minimum of 75% of a site's street frontage. Locate surface and structured parking away from public street frontage, preferably at the rear of the buildings and internal to sites. Due to limited frontage of the site, the applicant may wish to explore additional consolidation or design modifications, which would allow the building to re -orient such that more units face the street and rear yard (rather than internal lot lines, where significant privacy impacts are created). The options may be to design units as stacked and back to back townhouses facing the street or low-rise apartment building. Stacked and Back -to -Back town house Low -Rise Apartment Buildin A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 302 of 336 • The proposed layout shows 4.5m front yard setback. New building should be consistent with the existing neighborhood setback pattern. • Consider ways to keep some of the existing trees, such as maximizing the setback from the side and back of property line thus not interfering with the existing trees and then being able to introduce further landscaping • A minimum 1.5m landscaped buffer is required on all property lines. The current layout does not have 1.5m buffer on south side of the proposed building • Provide a shared, at -grade outdoor amenity space that is integrated with the site and landscape design. Provide seating options and be barrier free accessible without requiring users to cross parking areas or drive aisles. A 1.8 m high visual barrier should be noted on the plan when parking is adjacent to residentia' Design unit accesses to be clearly defined, consistent, easy to identify and without adding unnecessary visual clutter to a building's elevations. The use of multiple material types and articulated elements such as porches is encouraged to provide visual variety in built form. Please ensure all publicly visible fagade are well articulated and detailed. Use materials, details, colour, architectural projections, etc. to create visually consistent and engaging elevations on all sides. The proposed utilities should be coordinated and provided on the plan, Metering, transformers will not be supported at the front of the building. A composite utility plan should be provided as part of clearing of conditions to coordinate with landscape design and building elevations. 2. Anticipated Requirements of full Site Plan Approval: Updated Site Plan Tree Management Plan ,civ..von.kitchener.ca/tree maUggeniInt` The tree management plan should identify all existing trees to be retained, relocated and removed and the tree management methods to be employed to protect any existing trees during construction in accordance with the City's Tree Management Policy. This plan should also identify all trees located on adjacent properties, where the dripline encroaches onto the subject property, in order to ensure that these trees are not directly impacted by any proposed grading. ■ Written permission for removal of or impact to trees in joint ownership along property lines is required. ■ The tree management plan should accurately show the driplines of the trees; identify the species, condition of the tree, the impact of development on the tree and show the existing and proposed grades. ■ The protection methods must be clearly identified and accurately shown on the plan. An assessment of the value of the vegetation proposed for removal is required and compensation plantings to that value should be provided beyond UDM base standards through the Landscape Plan that will be required as part of final Site Plan approval. A City for Everyone Working Together— Growing Thoughtfully— Building Community Page 303 of 336 A Landscape Plan is required - please see UDM Part C, Section 15 A copy of the Grading Plan must be submitted with the Landscape Plan A Lighting Plan is required - please see UDM Part C, Section 4 Building Elevations and floor plans are required * Provide a variety of architectural styles and avoid repetition of identical materials, features and building massing. * Full colour building elevation specifying all materials and colours are required * Consider providing quality building designs and orient architectural details to enhance public realm. ■ The main entrance into the building should be clearly distinguishable through its architectural design and treatment and should act as the focal point of the dwelling and be given appropriate design emphasis. * Please find enclosed markup plan for additional comments. 3. Policies, Standards and Resources: Urban design policies are intended to address the visual character, aesthetic and compatibility of land use including heritage features. The objective of Urban Design Policies is to create safe, attractive, simulating, accessible, and barrier -free environment in which to live and work. Within the City's approved Official Plan there are numerous sections that are relevant including Part C, Section 11 Urban Design. www.kit&bgrier�'iaZ§ffi6alplan A link to the City of Kitchener Urban Design Manual — UDM - is provided. Please be aware that over the next year this document will be updated to reflect Official Plan policies and new standards of best practice. www.kitdhenerica&, dm' Part A of the Manual provides further urban design and built form objectives. Part B of the Manual contains Design Briefs which outline specific requirements related to particular geographic areas or land uses. Part C of the Manual contains City standards for many site development requirements and these should be accurately reflected in the proposal: parking stall dimensions; aisle widths; sidewalk dimensions; planting rates; landscape plan details; dark -sky luminaire compliance and photometric details.

City of Kitchener 200 King Street West Kitchener, ON N2G 4G7 Dear Mr. Schneider Re: ZBA20/017/W/ES 42 Windom Road Windom KW Inc. CITY OF KITCHENER The owner/applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and construct a new 22 -unit multiple dwelling building. The subject lands currently contain a 5 -unit multiple dwelling building. To facilitate the redevelopment of the lands, the owner/applicant is requesting to remove a special regulation provision (744R) that limits the number of units on the site to 5. The proposed application requests a new special regulation provision to be added to the Zoning By -Law to allow an FSR of 0.75 and a parking reduction. Regional Fee Regional Staff acknowledge receipt of the required Zoning By -Law Amendment fee of $1,150.00. Hydrogeology and Source Water Regional Staff note that a Salt Management Plan is required as part of a future Site Plan application. Water Services Regional Staff have reviewed the Final Functional Site Grading, Servicing and SWM Report 42 Windom Road, City of Kitchener, prepared by IBI Group dated November 16, Document Number: 3562499 Version: 1 Page 305 of 336 2020. Appendix D of the report included a Hydrant flow test that supports the proposed development. However, a modeling request was made by City Staff back in September 2019 proposing to remove a local 150 mm dia watermain located in an easement at 312 Southill Drive that connects with the 450 mm in diameter ductile iron watermain on River Rd E. Part of the report to City staff included results located within the proposed development. Regional Staff note that the current hydrant test for the proposed development at 42 Windom Rd shows that the development can be supported. However, Regional Staff note that removing the easement of the watermain may address negative impacts on the available fire flow at the subject site. Discussions with City Staff has indicated that the City will now not be removing the easement as it could negatively impact the proposed development. Regional Staff have no further concerns given that the City has no issues with the proposed development and will maintain the watermain in the easement. Regional Staff advise that the subject property is located in Kitchener Zone 4 with a static hydraulic grade line of 384 mASL. Any development with a finished road elevation below 327.9 mASL will require individual pressure reducing devices on each water service in accordance with Section B.2.4.7 of the Design Guidelines and Supplemental Specifications for Municipal Services for January 2020. Airport Regulation: Regional Staff advise there are no concerns. However, the owner/applicant is advised that the subject lands are located within 6 kilometres of the outer Airport Zoning Regulated (Transport Canada) area. Regional Staff have no objection to the proposed Zoning By -Law Amendment application. Regional Development Charges Any future development on the subject lands will be subject to provisions of Regional Development Charges By-law 19-037 or any successor thereof.

Thank you for your comments and concerns regarding parking. I understand that Windom Road was recently reconstructed, which could impact street parking. The applicant has proposed to make 2 of the 24 parking spaces Visitor Parking spaces, which could accommodate overnight parking in the winter months. That means that the parking will be unbundled (renting a unit does not automatically come with a parking space, prospective tenants would need to rent it separately) which allows for residents without a car to rent simply a dwelling unit. The small unit sizes will target single person households which will be more likely to have one or less cars. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

It would be good to publish that along with this design diagram to allow people to visualize it. If we are reading the plan correctly, it appears that this new design of the building will pretty much fill the front of the property, with a pass-through under part of the building to the parking lot at the back. It is out of character with the neighbourhood. This does very little to address the parking issue - adding 2 more units, albeit some are smaller units, and 3 more parking spaces. This design allows for one parking spot per unit, which means no one will have more than one vehicle and no one will have overnight visitors in the winter months. There is no parking for trades people other than on the street. We already have problems now when occasionally our garbage doesn't get picked up because the truck can't get down the street because of people parking on it. The existing townhouse developments on the street, which do have visitor parking, regularly have residents parking on the street for days at a time. What will it look like when we have 24 more Page 313 of 336 families on our small street with not enough on-site parking? I don't expect this letter to make any difference. The developer will eventually be allowed to put too many units on too small a lot and we will have to live with it. Thanks for keeping me in the loop, though.

At the time, I commented on the rezoning application, saying that most likely the reason for rezoning has nothing to do with compliance, but more likely is to make it easier to sell the property and open the possibilities for future development of more units. Guess what? That's exactly what is happening. We already have a lot of parking issues on this street, particularly with the existing multi -unit properties, including the residents at 42 Windom Road, parking on the street for days, around the clock, and sometimes weeks at a time. Kitchener by law does come by when there is a complaint, marks the tires, and people run out and move their cars temporarily. After bylaw returns, they move the cars back and there they stay. What is going to happen when there are 22 more families on the street with only 21 parking spots and no place for visitors? Many families have multiple vehicles. Very few have none. Are people only ever going to ever have visitors for 3 hours or less, and never overnight in the winter? Where are visitors going to park? There is no overnight on -street parking allowed in the winter, and only 3 -hour day time parking. Reducing the parking requirements from 39 spaces to 21 is ridiculous. There should at least be one spot for each unit and some visitor parking. Furthermore, lots 32, 39 and 31 on this street have similar or even larger lots than 42. My lot, 43 is fairly large, but not quite as big as these others. If the owners of 42 get approval to build 22 units, does that set a precedent to make it easier for these other owners to get zoning changes to build more multi -unit dwellings on their properties? If the owner of 42 can do this, Page 318 of 336 why shouldn't everyone else with a large lot also be able to? How many units can this small street support? In conclusion, I fully expected when the first rezoning happened, that the property would be sold and redeveloped, but 22 units is a lot. And not even having enough parking spots for each unit to have a place to park is ridiculous. Please keep me informed of what is happening with this property. If this is the direction the street is going, maybe I should ask the developers of 42 if they want to buy my property too and I'll move somewhere else.

Earl Campbell & Sandra Allen Definitely against such a proposal. #1 Parking. Parking in the area is always an issue. During the school year a lot of parents forget how to park or do not want their child to have to walk 20 feet more. In many cases the wide streets get reduced to just barely getting between the parked cars. We get multiple flyers each year asking for parking during the winter months while parking restrictions are enforced, reducing the number of parking spots required will only increase the issue. #2 Traffic. There is an issue during school hours and the city is very well aware of it as they did a traffic study a couple years ago and implemented traffic calming measures. Be it during school time or not there is a big traffic issue at the corner of Thaler and Fairway Rd. Traffic gets congested and leads to people taking chances, I am surprised there are not more accidents there. People turning left from Thaler are crossing two lanes of traffic to turn left. Visibility is restricted due property obstructions on the south east corner. Not to mention traffic turning left off of Fairway Rd tends to lead to cars behind darting into the right lane to go around the turning vehicle. Increasing the number of people in this area will only lead to more traffic issues. Please I invite you to come and sit at the corner after school lets out or a little later when work tends to get out. It is an Page 320 of 336 awkward corner as it is not 90 degrees. It really should be a right turn only off of Thaler. #3 Population. It is very disconcerting to see the general trend in the area. Where once the duplex was the go -to multiple building we are seeing people that don't live here and are only in it to make a buck tearing down a single home dwelling and putting up a quadplex. We have had 3 along Morgan Ave. already and as I said it doesn't affect the people doing this then we will surely see more .... as long as you are not affected it's ok right? The rules were originally put in place to help protect the city and people from potential abuse of a situation. This type of request would not be tolerated in affluent areas with potential increased risk to people safety. (school kid, residents and general traffic along Fairway Rd) We are against any exception to facilitate a change just to make more money at the other residents in the area's expense.

I currently reside at in a single detached home. I am concerned about the size of the building Floor space ratio, the number of units and especially concerned about the parking reduction per unit. Parking has always been problematic on our street. I fear this development will cause this to be unsustainable. Not having enough parking for these units as well as the increase in visitors' vehicles, will severely limit the ability to have visitor parking for the existing residents. I understand the need for more affordable housing, but developments should not negatively impact longtime current residents. I hope you consider the impact this will have on the neighbor's and keep the FSR of 60% and the minimum 1.75 parking spaces per unit. Thank you so much for your time.

My husband and I reside at and have been living at that location for the past 15 years. We are opposed to the idea of building a new 22 unit multiple dwelling unit. We are opposed to allowing the zoning by-law to build a 3 story multi dwelling complex to occupy 75 % of the total land area as we feel this will look very ugly and will consume a lot more traffic to a small rd. We already have the subsidized housing unit on this road and townhouse units at the end. Windom Rd is used by the young children to come and go to school every day and we already have many parents parking on both sides of the road to pick up and drop off their child twice daily. We would like to be updated on further developments regarding 42 Windom Rd and would like a forum to voice our concerns.

I am still quite worried about the lack of visitor parking for 24 units (none). As you are aware, all the longtime residents on the street have lost a parking spot on their driveways to accommodate a sidewalk and apron. In addition to losing a driveway spot the road has been narrowed and only allows a very small number of parking spots for the entire street. These few spots are highly sought after and will negatively affect our ability to have our own visitors park on the street. Will there be something in place to address this? i.e visitor parking permits for existing residents? Parking is most definitely my biggest apprehension going forward with this project. Hopefully this can be resolved. Thank you again for your time.

Eric Concerns: #1- Parking - everyone who rents an apartment has the right to own a vehicle and have a place to park. Parents dropping & picking their children cause a traffic congestion to the point where the parents are yelling and close to fist fights. So by adding 21 + cars to the area will make things worse. #2- Children - the layout of the building and parking lot cover most of the lot. It looks like the only place for the under ground garbage to go is at the end of the parking lot. That leaves the back west corner for any children to play. Example: 22 units with 1 child = 22 children, where are they going to play. I do not want them in my yard as I would be liable for any injuries. # 3- Fencing - right now there is no fence between the properties. There are trees and shrubs which keep privacy between the lots. Will there be some kind of fence built. I am not against an apartment up to a 6-12 units . The building being proposed is way to big for property. I feel that the big builders are trying to cram as may people in as small of a space as possible just for the money. I am sure I won't see any of them living here.

The new owner ( Jackman ) now has a bobcat come in to clear the snow. This winter has been a light one as per other years. My concern is where the snow is going to go ? Right now they are piling the snow at the side of the road. The driveway in the proposal will be approx. 200 ft. plus the area of the 21 parking spaces.The piling of the snow could be a safety issue for the children and for the cars leaving the driveway.
