The submission and approval of a Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was made a
requirement of a proposed Site Plan, Severance of Land, and Minor Variance applications
that were submitted to the City in 2017. The scoped HIA dated March 16, 2017 and updated
May 8, 2017, was submitted to the City in support of these application and was presented
to the Heritage Kitchener Committee at its May 2, 2017 meeting. These applications related
to the construction of a five (5) — storey Retirement Home and a three (3) -storey addition to
the existing building. The proposed changes also included modifying the entrance canopy
by decreasing its current size, as well as removing a section of the curtain wall on the
northern elevation to facilitate the installation of a service elevator. The scoped HIA did
receive approval from the Director of Planning on October 11, 2017.
In March 2021, the Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care awarded an additional 80 long-
term care beds to Peoplecare Inc. As a result, the maximum building height needed to be
increased, prompting the need for a Stamp Plan `A' application and the request for a revised
HIA. An updated HIA dated May 3, 2022, was submitted to the City. Since the updated HIA
included minor changes, and with time constraints associated with processing Stamp Plan
`A' applications, the revised HIA could not be circulated to Heritage Kitchener again. The
HIA concluded that the subject property is a significant cultural heritage resource that meets
all three criteria for designation under Ontario Heritage Act Regulation 9/06 (Since the
applications were submitted prior to the changes enacted by Bill 23, the property has been
assessed according to O. Reg. 9/06) with the proposed modifications having no effect on its
heritage value. As a result, heritage planning staff provided comments as part of the stamp
plan A application requesting that the property by designated under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act to conserve its cultural heritage value and heritage attributes.
REPORT:
Identifying and protecting cultural heritage resources within the City of Kitchener is an
important part of planning for the future, and helping to guide change while conserving the
buildings, structures, and landscapes that give our City its unique identity. The City plays a
critical role in the conservation of cultural heritage resources. The designation of property
under the Ontario Heritage Act is the main tool to provide long-term protection of cultural
heritage resources for future generations. Designation recognizes the importance of a
property to the local community; protects the property's cultural heritage value; encourages
good stewardship and conservation; and, promotes knowledge and understanding about
the property. Designation not only publicly recognized the promotes awareness, it also
provides a process for ensuring that changes to a property are appropriately managed and
that these changes respect the property's cultural heritage value and interest.
The property municipally addressed as 369 Frederick Street is recognized for its
design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values. The existing building is
comprised broadly of three elements — a free standing canopy which leads to the
administration and reception area, which then leads to the three-storey residential wing
situated perpendicularly to the administration and reception area (Fig. 3).

Design/ Physical Value
. Source: Draft HIA
The existing building was designed by Montgomery and Sisam Architects in the
`International Style' of modernist architecture for the Salvation Army in 1991 and was
constructed in 1993. It has been featured in the Images of Progress: Modern Architecture in
Waterloo Region 1946-1996 and described as having "a crisp stucco and glass exterior
(that) pays homage to the modern architectural expression of many Salvation Army projects
in Canada since the 1950s. The plan is irregular, to preserve the existing mature trees, but
also in the modern tradition of bending the plan to suit spatial and functional needs. The
residential wing is set furthest from Frederick Street. In front, a suite of public rooms looks
toward the entry court through glass walls. A free-standing entrance canopy in concrete,
steel and timber provides a sheltered verandah at the entry."
According to the HIA, the existing building is made of curtain walls with a fairly smooth acrylic
rendering in a medium grey colour. There are yellow panels and red -painted shed roofs with
pre -finished, red metal flashing and downspouts which contrasts nicely with the grey. The
glazing is comprised of punched windows, with curtain wall section that incorporate the
yellow panels (Fig. 4). Furthermore, from a design perspective, the building has `pure, simple
geometric, clean lines' and is in impeccable condition even after 24 years with little to no
alterations to the original structure.

Figure 4: View of the entry canopy with the yellow panels.
Even though the International Style of modernist architecture is usually considered from the
1940s to the 1960s, the existing building exhibits many of the design features of that style.
For a modern building to be considered of heritage significance, it must satisfy many criteria,
including but not limited to whether it is representative of the modern aesthetic, does it
contribute to the historical development of Kitchener and whether it contributes to
community identity. This building satisfies all of these criteria through its historical and
contextual value.
The existing building was designed by Montgomery Sisam Architects, an award-winning
architecture firm based in Toronto who specialize in healthcare and sustainable design.
The heritage attributes that were identified as part of the HIA include:
- The scale and irregular massing of the one and three-storey building;
- The entry canopy;
- The acrylic stucco non -load bearing walls;
- The glazed and solid panel curtain wall sections;
- The pre -finished metal shed roofs of the administration wing and entry canopy; and
- The clerestory form and glazing in the administration wing, filling the space with light
and marrying the indoors with the outdoors.

Historical/Associative Value
The subject property has significant historical value. Historically, this building sits on a site
which has a history of long-term care homes since 1869, starting with the House of Industry
and Refuge. The original House of Industry and Refuge was built after the passing of the
1867 Municipal Act which required all municipalities to provide support for residents
requiring assistance'. The House was in use from 1869 when unwed mothers and poor
homeless children were first admitted on June 15, 1869. Since then, this site continued to
evolve, transitioning from a `poor house' to an `old -aged home' in 1947. The existing building
represents a symbol of continuum of a pattern of social, political, cultural, and economic
status of the community, contributing to our understanding of Kitchener's history and
development. It also has its associations with Arthur R. Goudie, who was a department store
founder and a major donor for the construction of this building, and the Salvation Army.
Contextual Value
This building has contextual value as it is the fourth building in succession of care homes
on the site since 1869, yields information that contributes to the understanding of the
community, and it is physically, functionally, and historically linked to its surroundings.
A complete Statement of Significance (Attachment A) including the list of heritage attributes
will form part of the Designation By-law.
Some of the changes proposed by the applicant do modify some heritage attributes, such
as the entry canopy and one section of the northern curtain wall to accommodate a new
elevator (Fig. 5 &6). These changes have already been approved as part of the previous
site plan application that was submitted in 2017. However, the HIA has concluded that these
modifications result in a moderate, but acceptable negative impact on the heritage attributes,
and that these modifications do not affect the designation criteria of the building (Attachment
B). Staff are generally in agreement with this assessment and are of the opinion that
notwithstanding these minor alterations, the building should be designated under Part IV of
the Ontario Heritage Act due to its otherwise significant design, historical and contextual
value .

Descriotion of Cultural Heritage Resource
369 Frederick Street is a late 20th century stucco clad institutional building built in the
International Style of modernist architecture. The building is situated on a 2.6 acre of land
located on the south side of Frederick Street between Frederick Street and East Avenue in the
Central Frederick Neighborhood of the City of Kitchener within the Region of Waterloo. The
principal resource that contributes to the heritage value is the 1993 A.R. Goudie Eventide Home
building.
Heritage Value
369 Frederick Stret is recognized for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual
values.
Design/Physical Value
The building is a notable example of the International Style of modernist architecture in
Kitchener. The building is in good condition with many intact original elements since it was built
in 1993. The building can broadly be divided into three main elements: the entrance canopy,
the one -storey administration wing, and the three-storey residential wing perpendicular to the
administration wing. The irregular plan of the building was done so to preserve the mature
trees on site. The building features include: curtain walls made of smooth acrylic rendering in
medium grey colour, yellow panels and red -painted shed roofs with pre -finished, red metal
flashing, and curtain wall sections incorporating the yellow panels. Even though the
International Style of modernist architecture is usually considered from the 1940s to the 1960s,
the existing building exhibits many of the design features of that style.
The existing building was designed by Montgomery Sisam Architects, an award-winning
architecture firm based in Toronto who specialize in healthcare and sustainable design. The
existing building is the forth building in a succession of buildings that have been built for long-
term home care.
Historical Value
The subject property has significant historical value. Historically, this building sits on a site which
has a history of long-term care homes since 1869, starting with the House of Industry and Refuge.
The original House of Industry and Refuge was built after the passing of the 1867 Municipal Act
which required all municipalities to provide support for residents 'requiring assistance'. In 1867,
The County purchased a 141- acre farm from John Eby for $9,024. Then, advertisements were
published for a contractor to plan and building the House from plans made by Joseph Hobson,
County Engineer. Lewis Kribs was the successful contractor who was hired in 1868 for $8.908.
Page 55 of 122
The House of Industry and Refuge opened in 1869, when it first admitted poor homeless children
and unwed mothers, with the original building housing 100 people. The institution was originally
intended to be self-sufficient by the residents contributing towards the farm and household
chores. However, farming in a rapidly growing town of Berlin/Kitchener became increasingly
problematic. Significant amounts of farmland ended up being lost, and to make up for those,
three other farms were purchased, including the Shuh and Weber farms, and farming continued
at the House until 1956.
The House began transitioning in 1919 from a "poor house" to an "old aged home" in 1947 when
the Ontario Home for the Aged Act mandated service for seniors. The House was then changed
to "Waterloo County Home for the Aged".
The buildings were expanded on and new buildings added over the course of its existence. In
1956, a new home for senior was built on Franklin Street (now the current site of Sunnyside
Homes). This property was then sold to the Salvation Army, who in 1962 constructed another
building on the property. To meet rising demands, another building was built in 1993, which is
the current A.R. Goudie Eventide Home. The building built in 1962 was demolished in the 1990s,
leaving the A.R. Goudie Eventide Home as the only building on the property for a long time. This
building was named after Arthur R. Goudie, who was a department store owner, and had made
a major donation towards the construction of this building.
The building was then sold to its current owner, PeopleCare, in 2013 after the Salvation Army
made the decision to withdraw its operations due to resourcing issues.
Contextual Value
This building has contextual value as it is the fourth building in succession of care homes on the
site since 1869, yields information that contributes to the understanding of the community. It is
also physically, functionally, and historically linked to its surroundings, existing on the original
site of the House of Industry and Refuge. It also yields information that is important to the
Kitchener's history, and how the city has developed.
Other Values
Cnr 1n1 \/nINIn
The existing property has social value because of its original institutional use. The property has
been a site of refuge and assistance since the original building of the House of Industry and
Refuge was built. The property, along with the existing building has made significant social
contribution to the City as a place that initially provided a place of care for residents of
Berlin/Kitchener, and till today provides a space for long-term care and assistance of residents
of Kitchener.

1.0 BACKGROUND - REQUIREMENT for a HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
A Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment in support of proposed Site Plan, Severance of Land, and Minor Variances
for 369 Frederick Street, Kitchener ON (HIA), dated May 8, 2017 was submitted to the City of Kitchener. In
February 2019, Site Plan Approval was issued for a 148 -bed, 5 storey Retirement Home and a 192 -bed, 3 -storey
addition to the Long -Term Care facility. In March 2021, the Ministry of Health and Long -Term Care awarded
Peoplecare an additional 80 long-term care beds. To accommodate the additional beds, the approved building
addition to the Long-term Care facility needs to be modified. As a result, site-specific zoning considerations
including increasing the maximum building height; thus, the need for this update to the original HIA. A Pre -
Submission Consultation meeting on November 25,2021 (Appendix 1) determined that a revised Heritage Impact
Assessment will be required to address the proposed site plan modifications as well as assess the proposed changes
to the window spandrels.
The property at 369 Frederick Street is of cultural heritage interest, having been placed on the Heritage Kitchener
Inventory of Historic Buildings. Information in the City's file shows this 1993 modern building, designed by
Montgomery Sisam Architects, was featured in Images of Progress: Modern Architecture in Waterloo Region
1946-1996.' The listing states, "The Salvation Army has been a consistent patron of modern architecture. Here
the `crisp stucco and glass exterior pays homage to the modern architectural expression of many Salvation Army
projects built in Canada since the 1950s'. The plan is irregular, to preserve the existing mature trees, but also in
the modern tradition of bending the plan to suit spatial and functional needs. The residential wing is set furthest
from Frederick Street. In front, a suite of public rooms look toward the entry court through glass walls. A free-

standing entrance canopy in concrete, steel and timber provides a sheltered verandah at the entry." The subject
property is also located adjacent to a protected heritage property - 362 Frederick Street is designated under Part
IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Further consultation with heritage staff scoped the HIA requirements to exclude
the need for a Land Registry search and the need to address the adjacent protected heritage property.2
The subjectproperty is 1.7 ha (4.2 acres) in area and is located on the south side of Frederick Street, between Edna
Street and East Avenue (Figures 1 & 2).

369 Frederick Street became the site of the "House of Industry and Refuge" in 1869. The House of Industry and
Refuge was built based on the requirements of the 1867 Municipal Act which stated that all municipalities were
to provide support for residents requiring assistance. In 1867, the County purchased a 141 -acre farm from John
Eby for $9,024 ($64 per acre ), then advertised for a contractor to plan and construct the House from plans by
Joseph Hobson, County Engineer. The contract was awarded to Lewis Kribs in 1868 for $8,908 when
construction began. All of the work and resources to build the main building was done by members of the local
community, many of whom were from or family members of the County Council.3
The House was in operation from 1869 when poor homeless children and unwed mothers were first admitted June
15, 1869. The original building housed 100.4

The institution was originally intended to be self sufficient by means of operating a farm. Residents were
expected to contribute to farm and household tasks. The sale of farm goods was intended to cover the costs of
the institution.' The practicality of a self-sufficient farm in the growing town of Berlin/Kitchener became
increasingly problematic. Three other farms were purchased to replace the lost farmland from the Frederick Street
location, including the Shuh and Weber farms. The Frederick Street facility looked after the chronically ill, while
the destitute worked and lived on the farms.6 Farming continued at the House until 1956.
The House began a transition in 1919 from "poor house" to an "old aged home" by 1947. In 1947 the Ontario
Home for the AgedAct mandated services for seniors. The home's name was changed to "Waterloo County Home
for the Aged".' The term "Industry" had been dropped from the title of the House at the beginning of the 20th
century.

The subject property is across Frederick Street from 362 Frederick Street (Figure 19), a property designated under
Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Ado. Known as Eby House, it was built in 1837. It is the oldest residential house
in Berlin/Kitchener occupied by a single family. Built for John and Rebecca Eby, the farm house was occupied
by them shortly after their marriage. Rebecca was the daughter of Samuel Bricker who was famous for getting
a loan from friends and relatives in Pennsylvania to pay the mortgage on the Beasley Tract, which is now the lands
occupied by Waterloo. He sold all of the farmland in 1869 when the House of Industry and Refuge was built
across the street. John's daughter Magedeline became owner in 1887 and moved from Harriston with her husband
Martin Dunham. Dr. Mabel Dunham was their daughter, the first professionally trained librarian in Ontario. One
of Canada's most noted authors, B. Mabel Dunham, was always conscious of the value of history and enriched
Canadian literature with her books: The Trail of the Conestoga; Toward Sodom; The Trail of the King's Men;
Grand River and Kristh's Trees. Dunham was librarian of the Kitchener Public Library from 1908 until her
retirement in 1944, the first trained librarian to be in charge of a public library in Ontario. She developed one of
the first children's library departments in Ontario at the Kitchener Library."

walls of the building like the shed roof of the administration wing. The underside is tongue and groove wood.

369 Frederick Street, Kitchener
Although the `International Style' of modernist architecture in Canada is usually considered to be from the 1940s
through the 1960s, 369 Frederick Street exhibits many of the design features of that style, including:
• uninterrupted surface volumes,
• non -load bearing walls and internalized structure,
• flat and angled roof lines,
• sense of visual weightlessness with the use of pilotis and extensive glazing,
• single unobstructed clear spans with unitary volumes,
• volumes wrapped in textureless, unarticulated skin.
For a modern building to be considered of heritage significance, it must satisfy several of the following
conditions.13
Philosophy Does the project represent the philosophy of the modern movement?
Design Does the design of the project reflect the most salient characteristics of the Modern
aesthetic?
Materials Is the material palette treated in a distinctively modern way?
Construction Is the structure of the project particularly innovative or representative of Modern
technology of construction?
Alterations Does the project retain its most salient design features, or have alterations been sensitive
to the original intentions of the design?
Architect Was the project designed by an important and influential architect who made a significant
contribution to the Modern Movement?
Historic Significance Has the project contributed to the historical development of Kitchener?
Influence Has the project influenced the development of architecture locally, nationally, or
internationally?
Awards Has the project received recognition through publication or awards?
Context Does the project contribute to community identity?
Application of Criteria
Philosophically, the building provides an aesthetic that enhances the arts, architecture, and lifestyles of the
machine age; it provides modern space filled with light and fresh air to promote health and vitality.
From a design perspective, the building has pure, simple geometries, clean lines. It appears fresh and immaculate
(even 24 years after its construction). Its interior volumes have a sense of visual weightlessness through
suspension on pilotis and the use of extensive glazing. It sports flat roofs, unadorned finishes, and elegantly
machined details. It is devoid of decoration. The interior and exterior of the administration wing become
ambiguous with the opening up of the ground plan and the extensive use of glazing. The emphasis is on volume
rather than mass and symmetry has been avoided, relieving static composition. The form of the building
somewhat reflects and reveals its function.
Materials used are synthetic, including acrylics, aluminum, concrete, glass, and steel.
The building's structure expresses the elements that are structurally necessary with exterior walls being merely
a skin to clad the envelope of the building rather than being load bearing.

Little or no alterations have been made to the original structure.
Founded in 1978, Montgomery Sisam Architects Inc. is a mid-sized architectural firm based in Toronto with a
specialty in healthcare, education and sustainable design. Their numerous awards include a number of senior and
long-term care homes. The body of work produced by the firm over nearly four decades is a comprehensive cross-
section of Modern design.
Historically, the building is the latest in a series of structures on this property specifically designed and built for
the care of people in the City, starting with the 1869 House of Industry and Refuge. It is a symbol of a continuum
of a pattern of cultural, social, political and economic status of the community, contributing to the identity of the
municipality and its landscape. Its association with the major donor, A. R. Goudie14, and the Salvation Army is
important to the City's history.
The building has received recognition through the publication of Images of Progress: Modern Architecture in
Waterloo Region 1946-1996.
The property's architectural features, massing, landscaping, and siting enhances the character of the surrounding
neighbourhood.
Heritage Attributes
The cultural heritage attributes of the property are:
• the scale and irregular massing of the one and three-storey building, including the entry canopy;
• the entry canopy in its entirety;

1.5 Proposed development and impacts
The subject lands are approximately 1.70 hectares (4.21 acres) in area with approximately 98 metres of frontage
along Frederick Street to the north. The proposal is to sever part of the Frederick Street frontage from the area
of the existing facility to facilitate the construction of a retirement home on the severed portion. Access to the
A. R. Goudie Eventide Home and its proposed addition will be from Frederick on the new P -shaped lot.

The proposed addition wraps around the west side of the existing building, enclosing the current entry turning
circle to create an internal courtyard. The canopied entrance, shortened on either end to accommodate the new
drive and addition (Figure 54), remains the visual and main entry to the long-term care home. Materials are stucco
(EIFS), like the existing. To differentiate it from the original, the colour will be a warmer and lighter tone. It is
also differentiated by picking up the existing and proposed curtain wall vertical and horizontal lines as V -grooves
in the EIFS. The building outline follows the contoured shape of the existing building and the topography of the
site. The large glazed and solid curtain wall on the north side of the building will be relocated to the interior to
facilitate the addition to the building and the curtain wall stair tower is modified by moving the wall slightly
northward and adding a new piece to accommodate a new elevator (Figure 55). The northerly portion of the
curtain wall remains visible. (Figure 46) as does the administration wing Blazed and solid curtain wall.

The new building, a retirement home, is located on the site of the 1962 retirement home (Figures 14 & 45) with
its main entrance on the same axis as the 1869 and 1962 buildings. The proposed building is almost a mirror
image in form and in the same location as the 1962 building. The new building is also in red brick with a cultured
stone base. This building will effectively screen the existing building and its proposed addition from Frederick
Street. Visitors to the long-term care home will pass by the new retirement home to the original entrance to the
1993 building.
The following assessment of potential impact the proposed redevelopment or site alteration may have on the
cultural heritage resource(s) is based on the possible negative impacts as stated in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit.

There is a moderate, but acceptable negative impact on the cultural heritage resource, and no impact to the
adjacent cultural heritage resource from the proposed addition and new residential building.
1.6 Conservation - principles and mitigating measures
The 1993 building is preserved in situ; its use remains as a residence for seniors. Methods of minimizing or
avoiding negative impact on cultural heritage resources, noted by the Ministry of Culture, include but are not
limited to the following:
Alternative development approaches
Four alternative development approaches were formulated and assessed (Figures 56 - 59).

From these alternatives and through discussion with City staff, a preferred option that met the criteria for both
functionality and heritage conservation was selected (Figure 46).
Isolating development and site alteration from the significant built and natural heritage features and vistas
The built heritage features, with the exception of retaining the north -facing curtain wall as an interior feature,
removing portions of the entry canopy, and a modification to the stair tower curtain wall, remain intact; views
are changed from the public realm (in the winter months only) to the private realm (see Figure 26).
Design guidelines that harmonize mass, setback, setting and materials
Massing, setting and materials are harmonized with the existing building.
Limiting height and density
Height of the addition is consistent with the existing building. Density is substantially increased by making
use of the open space,
Allowing only compatible infill and additions
Infill and the addition are compatible.
Reversible alterations
Not applicable.
1.7 Proposed alterations justified and explained
The alterations are designed to provide a substantial number of new long-term care and seniors' residences,
fulfilling an important need in the community.
The loss of the ends of the entry canopy is partially offset by retaining most of the canopy and retaining its
symmetry on the doorway as well as the overhangs at each end. Retention of the more visible portion of the stair
tower curtain wall, albeit moved slightly north, somewhat compensates for the loss of a slightly smaller portion

CHC Limited May 3, 2022
Updated Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 40
369 Frederick Street, Kitchener
of the wall. The visible glazed and solid administration wing curtain wall at the main entrance is retained.
1.8 Recommendations
The addition and new building, their locations on the site, and their landscape shall conform to the plans in this
impact assessment. More specifically:
• originally it was recommended that as much of the existing large glazed and solid panel curtain wall as
possible should be salvaged to be used as an interior feature as a dividing wall between interior spaces -
however, according to the project architect, it is not salvageable;
• to ensure that the addition is a product of its own time, without a blurred distinction between old and new, and
is physically and visually compatible with the 1993 building, the proposed cladding should be stucco (EIFS)
carried to the foundation without a distinct base like the original and differentiated from the 1993 building
with a warmer and lighter tone to be established at Site Plan Approval stage;
• differentiation may also be accomplished by picking up the existing and proposed curtain wall vertical and
horizontal lines as V -grooves in the EIFS, lending a more residential feel to the building;
• new curtain wall sections at points of internal communal and circulation spaces should retain the dimensions
and form of the originals, but the solid panels constructed in natural aluminum rather than the yellow of the
original, again to not be a copy, but pay homage;
• to suit the needs of the residents there is no air conditioning in the units, only in the hallways and common
areas; therefore, windows must be operable with a restricted opening - details of the type and style of window
on the north elevation should be deferred to the approval of the building elevations at Site Plan Approval;
As some of the heritage attributes are to be modified, commemoration in the form of interpretive panels with text
and images outlining the history of the property and photographs showing the 1993 building before the addition
be placed in the reception area or some other public room.
In order to promote the retention of historic information, copies of this report should be deposited with a local
repository of historic material. Therefore, it is recommended that this report be deposited at the Kitchener Public
Library, Grace Schmidt Room.
1.9 Qualifications of the author completing the Heritage Impact Assessment
See Appendix 2.
2.0 SUMMARY STATEMENT and CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS
With respect to "the significance and heritage attributes of the subject property", the significance is limited
to the existing building and the history of the property and its former occupants. Some of the heritage
attributes are affected as is noted. None of the history is lost by the proposed development; rather, another
chapter in the property's history of care -giving opens.
Regarding "impact the proposed development will have on the heritage attributes ofthe subject properties and
on the attributes of surrounding protected heritage property", although the site is proposed to house
significantly more density, moderate negative impact on the heritage attributes of the heritage resource is
expected.
• As far as "what conservation or mitigative measures, or alternative development, or site alteration approaches
Pana 1 nr, of 122
CHC Limited May 3, 2022
Updated Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 41
369 Frederick Street, Kitchener
are recommended", if the conservation principles espoused in the recommendations above are adhered to, no
other mitigating measures, additional alternative developments, or site alterations are recommended.
• Respecting "clarification as to why specific conservation or mitigative measures, or alternative development
or site alteration approaches are not appropriate", the proposal generally meets the existing zoning by-laws
and it conforms to the Conservation Principles in the Ontario Heritage Toolkit. Recommended mitigating
measures are limited to deposit of this report at the Kitchener Public Library, Grace Schmidt Room and
implementation of the architectural and landscape architectural designs as found in this report. Additional
alternative development or site alteration approaches are not necessary as the proposal meets policies and by-
laws and has a moderate negative impact on the heritage resource, most of which can be successfully
mitigated.
3.0 MANDATORY RECOMMENDATION
Section 2 of the Planning Act indicates that Council shall have regard to matters of Provincial interest such as the
conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest. hl
addition, Section 3 of the Planning Act requires that decisions of Council shall be consistent with the Provincial
Policy Statement 2014 (PRS). Policy 2.6.1 of the PPS requires that significant built heritage resources and
significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved.15
The PPS defines "built heritage resource" as one or more significant buildings, structures, monuments,
installations or remains associated with architectural, cultural, social, political economic or military history and
identified as being important to a community. These resources may be identified through designation or heritage
conservation easement under the Ontario Heritage Act, or listed by local provincial or federal jurisdictions. The
term "significant" means resources valued for the important contribution they make to our understanding
of the history of a place, an event, or a people.
"Conserved" means the identification, protection, use and/or management of cultural heritage and
archaeological resources in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are retained. This
may be addressed through a conservation plan or heritage impact assessment.
Ontario Regulation 9/06 `Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest' 16 states for a property to
be considered of cultural heritage value or interest, it must meet one or more of the following criteria:
have design value or physical value because it,
• is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction
method,
• displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit, or
• demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement.
2. have historical value or associative value because it,
has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is
significant to a community,

• yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of a community or
culture, or
• demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist who is
significant to a community.
3. have contextual value because it,
• is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area,
• is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings, or
• is a landmark.
The potential built heritage resource and potentially significant heritage resource on this property is the 1993 A.
R. Goudie Eventide Home. The home is of cultural heritage interest, having been placed on the Heritage
Kitchener Inventory of Historic Buildings. The house has design value or physical value. It is a representative
example of a style, type, expression, material and construction method (the International Style of Modernism);
it displays a high degree of style, craftsmanship and artistic merit (see paragraph 1.4, page 28). The property has
historical value or associative value as it has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, persons, activity,
organization and institution that is significant to the community. It has the potential to yield information that
would contribute to an understanding of the community or culture, and it demonstrates and reflects the work of
an architectural firm and a former owner who are significant to the community. The Home retains its form, mass,
outline, and materials, and is considered to have contextual value as it is the fourth building in a succession of
care homes on this site since 1869.
It is the opinion of this author that the building meets the criteria for designation under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act. This opinion is not compromised by the proposed modifications to the building if the
recommendations of this report are carried out.

Subject: Pre -Submission Consultation - Committee of Adjustment & Site Plan
369 Frederick St
Heritage Planning staff provide the following comments in relation to the proposed addition to the existing Long
Term Care Facility and new Retirement Home building at 369 Frederick Street, to be discussed at a Pre -
Submission Consultation meeting on January 19, 2017.
The property at 369 Frederick Street is of cultural heritage interest, having been placed on the Heritage Kitchener
Inventory of Historic Buildings. Correspondence with the owner in January 2015 requested permission to access
the property to take exterior photographs of the building and evaluate the property for possible listing on the City's
Municipal Heritage Register. A response was not received at that time.
Information on file shows this 1993 modern building, designed by Montgomery Sisam Architects, was featured in
Images of Progress: Modern Architecture in Waterloo Region 1946-1996, by the Kitchener Waterloo Art
Gallery. The listing states, "The Salvation Army has been a consistent patron of modern architecture. Here
the "crisp stucco and glass exterior pays homage to the modern architectural expression of many
Salvation Army projects built in Canada since the 1950s." The plan is irregular, to preserve the existing
mature trees, but also in the modern tradition of bending the plan to suit spatial and functional needs. The
residential wing is set furthest from Frederick Street. In front, a suite of public rooms look toward the entry
court through glass walls. A free-standing entrance canopy in concrete, steel and timber provides a
sheltered verandah at the entry."
The subject property is also located adjacent to a protected heritage property - 362 Frederick Street is designated
under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Section 2 of the Planning Act identifies matters of provincial interest, which includes the conservation of significant
features of architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest. Section 3 of the Planning Act
requires that decisions of Council be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Policy2.6.1 of the PPS
states that signiticantbuiltheritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. Policy
2.6.3 states that authorities shall not permit development and site alteration on adjacent lands to protected heritage
property except where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conserved. The PPS defines
significant as resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest for the important
contribution they make to our understanding of the history of a place, an event, or a people, and notes that while
some significant resources may already be identified and inventoried by official sources, the significance of others
can only be determined after evaluation.
Regional and municipal policies and guidelines also address the conservation of cultural heritage resources. The
Regional Official Plan contains policies that require the conservation of cultural heritage resources. The City's
Official Plan contains policies that require development to have regard for and incorporate cultural heritage
Pana 1 nc) of 122
CHC Limited May 3, 2022
Appendix 1
Pre -submission Consultation - Heritage 2
resources into development. These policies establish the requirement for the submission of studies, such as
Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) and Conservation Plans (CP), as part of complete planning applications. The
Official Plan also acknowledges that not all cultural heritage resources have been identified; a property does not
have to be listed or designated to be considered as having cultural heritage value or interest.
In considering the above, the City will require the submission of an HIA and a CP as part of complete planning
applications. The HIA will need to assess the potential impact of the subject applications (CofA and SP) and the
proposed development on the existing cultural heritage resources on the subject property. If an impact is identified,
the HIA must recommend mitigative measures to avoid or reduce those impacts. These measures should be
reflected in the planning applications and the design of the development proposal submitted to the City for
consideration.
It is the opinion of Heritage Planning staff that the proposed planning applications will not negatively impact the
adjacent protected heritage property, 362 Frederick Street, and so will not require the HIA to assess potential
impacts on it. Heritage Planning staff will avail themselves to review building elevations and provide input and
comment to Urban Design and Development Review staff, as required, to ensure the design of the future
Retirement Home building complements the adjacent protected heritage property, 362 Frederick Street.
In keeping with Ministry and City guidelines on the preparation of HIAs, the following key components will need to
be addressed:
a) historic research, site analysis and evaluation;
b) identification of the significance and heritage attributes of all cultural heritage resources;
c) description of the proposed development;
d) measurement of development impact to the existing cultural heritage resources on the subject property;
e) identification of alternatives, mitigation and conservation methods;
f) identification of preferred and recommended conservation, mitigation or avoidance measure(s), together
with appropriate implementation and monitoring strategies; and
g) concluding value and summary statements.
Note that HIAs may be circulated to the City's Heritage Kitchener Committee for information and discussion. A Site
Plan Review Committee meeting may not be scheduled until Heritage Kitchener has been provided an opportunity
to review and provide feedback to City staff. Approval of the HIA by the Director of Planning will be required prior
to Site Plan Approval in Principle.
A CP is required where a cultural heritage resource worthy of retention is identified and recommended in the HIA.
In keeping with Ministryand Cityguidelines on the preparation of Conservation Plans, the following keycomponents
will need to be addressed:
1. analysis of the cultural heritage resource, including documentation, identification of cultural heritage attributes,
assessment of resource conditions and deficiencies;
2. short-, medium- and long-term maintenance and conservation measures including appropriate conservation
principles and practices, qualifications of contractors and trades people that should be applied, and an
implementation strategy;
3. security requirements, including measures to protect the resource during phases of construction or related
development; and
4. cost estimates for short-term maintenance and mitigation measures to be used to determine sufficient
monetary amounts for letters of credit or other securities as may be required.
The submission of a CP may be waived by City staff in instances where an HIA does not recommend Listing or
Designation of a cultural heritage resource, has been reviewed by City staff and is deemed acceptable.
In summary, the Citywill require the submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment and a Conservation Plan as part
of complete planning applications. The terms of reference will be consistent with the City's generic terms of
reference for HIAs and CPs. Contact Heritage Planning staff for copies.

❑ I do NOT plan to attend the meeting (no concerns)
1. Site Specific Comments & Issues:
Heritage Planning staff provide the following comments based on the pre -submission consultation application form
signed September 23, 2021 and supporting documents including: cover letter prepared by Polocorp Inc. dated
September 23, 2021; revised site plan prepared by SRM Architects dated September 15, 2021; elevations and
angular plane prepared by SRM Architects; and shadow study prepared by SRM Architects.
The proposal contemplates modifications to an approved Site Plan, including increasing the maximum building
height from 15.3 metres to 18.5 metres; reducing the interior side yard setback from 9.91 metres to 6.1 metres;
reducing the minimum required parking from 78 spaces to 70 spaces; and increasing the maximum Floor Space
Ratio from 1.0 to 1.25 to accommodate an additional 80 long-term care beds. In addition, the applicant is
contemplating changing the colour of the existing yellow spandrels to a new colour.
The property municipally addressed as 369 Frederick Street is of cultural heritage value or interest, having been
placed on the Heritage Kitchener Inventory of Historic Buildings. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) prepared
by CHC Limited dated March 16, 2017 and updated May 8, 2017 was submitted in support of the previous Site Plan
applications. The HIA identified the following heritage attributes of the property:
• Scale and irregular massing of the one and three storey building, including the entry canopy;
• Entry canopy in its entirety;
• Acrylic stucco non -load bearing walls;
• Glazed and solid panel curtain wall sections;
• Pre -finished metal shed roof of the administration wing and entry canopy; and
• Clerestory form and glazing in the administration wing filling the space with light and marrying the indoors with
the outdoors.
The HIA identified the previous development proposal had moderate, but acceptable, negative impacts on the
cultural heritage resource, and recommended the following mitigating measures:
• As much of the existing large glazed and solid panel curtain wall as possible should be salvaged to be used as
an interior feature;
• Proposed cladding should be stucco (EIFS) carried to the foundation with a warmer, lighter tone;
and
• New curtain wall sections at points of internal communal and circulation spaces should retain the dimensions and
form of the originals, but the solid panels constructed in aluminum rather than the yellow of the original.

In addition, the HIA goes on to recommend that commemoration in the form of interpretive panels with text and
images outlining the history of the property and photographs showing the 1993 building before the addition be
placed in the reception area or other public room.
A revised Heritage Impact Assessment will be required to address the proposed site plan modifications as well as assess
the proposed changes to the window spandrels.
Heritage Planning staff will review and approve elevations in conjunction with Urban Design staff.
