Deferral from September 19, 2023, Committee of Adjustments Meeting Agenda Minor Variance A2023-111 15 Catalina Court was Deferred from the September 19, 2023, Committee of Adjustments Meeting Agenda for the following reasons: Page 9 of 221 • To give the applicant the opportunity to provide a Preliminary Grading Plan showing the elevation of the proposed location of the ADU (Detached). A Grading Plan has been provided and is included alongside this report as `Attachment B'. • For the applicant to modify the drawings to show that the proposed basement of the ADU (Detached) is below grade. The front elevations shown in `Figure E', along with zoning analysis conducted by Planning staff, confirm that the proposed basement of the ADU (Detached) is below grade. REPORT: Planning Comments: In considering the four tests for the minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O, 1990 Chap. P 13, as amended, Planning staff offers the following comments: General Intent of the Official Plan The subject property is designated `Low Rise Residential' on Map 3 of the Official Plan. This designation permits a full range of low density housing types including semi-detached dwelling units, additional dwelling units, and other forms of low-rise housing. The intent of this designation is to ensure compatibility of building form, with respect to massing, scale and design in order to support the successful integration of a range of building types. It also places emphasis on the relationship of buildings to adjacent properties, streets, and exterior areas. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances meet the general intent of the Official Plan. General Intent of the Zoning By-law Minimum Lot Width for Additional Dwelling Unit (Detached): The intent of Section 4.12.3 k) of Zoning By-law 2019-051 which requires a minimum lot width of 13.1 metres to permit an ADU (Detached) is to ensure there is adequate space on the lot to accommodate the size of an ADU (Detached), required parking and a sufficient amenity area for use by the residents of the dwelling units. The proposed ADU (Detached) is able to locate within the rear yard of the property while preserving the existing driveway and a portion of the landscaped area. The proposed ADU (Attached) will be located within the existing semi-detached dwelling unit. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Parking Spaces within 6.0 metres of a Street Line: The intent of Section 5.3.3 a) ii) of Zoning By-law 2019-051 which permits a maximum of one (1) parking space within 6.0 metres of a street line for a property having 3 dwelling units is to ensure that the front and exterior yards of properties do not primarily function as parking areas. Two of the three required parking spaces will be located in the existing driveway in the exterior side yard and will be set back 0.3 metres from the street line. One of the three parking spaces will be located in a new driveway in the front yard and will be set back 0 metres from the street line. A Curb Cut Permit has already been issued for this new driveway. The exterior side yard of the property will still provide greater than the minimum required 20% landscaped area. Staff is of the opinion that the requested variance meets the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Page 10 of 221 Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor? Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are minor. The proposed ADU (Detached) will not impact the neighbouring properties. The potential issue of overlook is mitigated by the building design which does not feature any windows on the wall adjacent to the neighbouring property. The boulevard and existing street trees provide a visual barrier between the parking spaces and the street. Accordingly, the effects of the variances will be minor. Is/Are the Variance(s) Desirable For The Appropriate Development or Use of the Land, Building and/or Structure? Staff is of the opinion that the variances are desirable and appropriate for the use of the land as it will facilitate the development of 3 dwelling units on the subject property, supporting a gentle intensification of the property, will make use of existing infrastructure, and support the City's Housing Pledge. Environmental Planning Comments: No natural heritage concerns. The neighbour's tree (root zone) is close to the ADU construction but should be far enough away to prevent damage, therefore there are no concerns. Heritage Planning Comments: No heritage concerns. Building Division Comments: The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance. A Building Permit application has been made for the detached additional dwelling unit. Engineering Division Comments: Advisory comment: it is City policy for only 1 set of services per property. Parks/Operations Division Comments: Comments revised to indicate no concerns. Transportation Planning Comments: Transportation Services can support the proposed application to permit three (3) parking spaces to be located within 6 metres of the property line as the proposal includes an updated driveway that can accommodate the proposed number of vehicles. NOTE: The homeowner is responsible for obtaining an approved Curb Cut Permit from the City of Kitchener before modifying the curb in any way. This application can be filled out via the City of Kitchener website. Region of Waterloo Comments: There are no conditions for this application. However, the owners are advised that any noise -sensitive development on the subject lands may have impacts from environmental noise from transportation noise in the vicinity. The applicants are responsible for ensuring that the subject development does not have any environmental noise impacts.

Page 27 of 221 From: To: Committee of Adiustment (SM) Subject: 15 Catalina Court permit request. Date: Monday, September 18, 2023 9:38:58 AM Good Morning I am writing to encourage the City of Kitchener NOT to allow the permit requested by the owner of the rooming house at 15 Catalina Court in Kitchener. This property is already a problem to many of the neighbours. The yard is always unkept to the point that complaints have be filed regarding clean up and cutting of grass each year. Please check your files for the complaints that have been filed in the last few years. The tenants do things that are unacceptable to my neighbours and myself. ie clean out their car and throw the garbage in the lawn so it will blow away or be picked up by us when it ends up on the road, barking dog at all hours and allowed to run free without leash, late night parties. Too add more people on that property would be just added anxiety for myself and the great families that live on our street. I have owned my home at for 34 years and never had any problems with disrespectful neighbours until now. There are MANY people living there, probably more than there should be. If the owner of this property is allowed to expand it will make things so much worse for us on this street and in this neighbourhood. I fear that if this permit is issued I will have to sell my house as it is already overwhelming for me and I can't imagine more people across the street from me. There is a neighbour of mine whom I rely on for some help as I am a senior and I have spoken to him and he will not stay if this goes through. Also, I am assuming this would affect our property values. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Margo Kleehaas Page 28 of 221 Public Copy From: To: Committee of Adiustment (SM) Subject: Permit application for 15 Catalina Court, Kitchener Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 8:29:48 AM You don't often get email from To the City of Kitchener, Council of Chambers Re: permit application for 15 Catalina Court, Kitchener To whom it may concern, My name is Michael Donis and I live at , across the street from 15 Catalina Court. While I have never complained about the occupants of 15 Catalina Court in the past, I now feel I should have. Regardless, I do believe there are numerous complaints already on file from my surrounding neighbours pertaining to noise and poorly maintained property. They also have a golden Labrador retriever that lately they have been letting loose into the neighbourhood to defecate in other people's yards. I can't say for certain how many people are currently living at 15 Catalina Court but I'd have to say from 8 to 10 people come and go on a regular basis there. And that is in the semi-detached house. I believe adding more people to a second dwelling in the rear yard will be exacerbating the problem our neighbourhood faces from the current occupants. I would find it disappointing and irresponsible if the permits for 15 Catalina Court are passed today. Thanks for your time...
