REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The purpose of this report is to review applications for minor variances to facilitate the
construction of 4 mixed-use buildings each containing 60 residential dwelling units and
commercial units.
There are no financial implications.
Community engagement included a notice sign being placed on the property advising
that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received, notice of the
application was mailed to all property owners within 30 metres of the subject property
enda in advance of the
Committee of Adjustment meeting.
This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
The subject properties are located between Franklin Street South and Eighth Avenue in
close proximity to Kingsway Drive. The subject lands are surrounded by low rise
residential uses to the west, high rise residential uses to the south, and commercial uses
to the north and east.
Figure 1: Subject properties 55 and 59 Franklin St. S., 50 and 54 Eighth Ave.
The subject properties are on Map 2 Urban Structure and
are Commercial
The properties are General Commercial Zone (COM-2-law 2019-
051.
The purpose of the minor variances is to facilitate the construction of 4 mixed-use
buildings each containing 60 residential units, and commercial units on the ground floor
with a reduced amount of required parking. The applicant is requesting to reduce the
parking requirement for each building to 0.41 parking spaces per dwelling unit (25 spaces)
rather than the required 1 parking space per dwelling unit (60 spaces) and to permit a
multi-unit parking rate of 1 space per 53 square metres of gross floor area (6 spaces)
rather that the required minimum multi-unit parking rate of 1 parking space per 35 square
metres of gross floor area (9 spaces). Overall, 31 parking spaces will be provided per
building and an overall total of 127 spaces will be provided on site for the entire
development.
The properties are being developed in conjunction with the building at 50 Eighth Avenue
which has been completed first with the other 3 buildings currently in different stages of
development. The properties were approved for Minor Variances as per Decision A2021-
011 for the setbacks of the buildings. Furthermore, the properties were approved by
Council in June 2022 for a vacant land condominium to subdivide the original property into
5 units. Each of the mixed-use buildings are 1 unit, with a central structure parking facility
th
being the 5 unit, and the remaining lands are within the common element.
The original Site Plan Application consisted of 4 mixed use buildings, each containing 64
residential units, however the design of the buildings has been changed to 60 residential
units within each building. The owner has then requested to reduce the amount of parking
on site, in order to reduce the size of the parking structure to accommodate less parking.
An updated site plan will be required as a condition of the minor variances in order to show
the reduction in parking.

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
tchener Official Plan. Lands
located within the Commercial designation in the Official Plan may include dwelling units,
where appropriate, provided they are located in the same building as compatible
commercial uses and are not located on the ground floor.
redevelopment:
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.
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 13.C.8.2 also states that the City may consider adjustments to parking requirements
for properties within an area or areas, where the City is satisfied that adequate alternative
parking facilities are available, where developments adopt transportation demand
management (TDM) measures or where sufficient transit exists or is to be provided.
Based on the above policies, staff is of the opinion that the minor variances will maintain
the general intent of the Official Plan.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
The intent of the parking requirement is to ensure that there are adequate parking spaces
available for residents, visitors and customers needs of the property. The proposed
residential uses are a form of affordable housing which results in a number of residents
not owning a vehicle and using alternative modes of transportation. Furthermore, the
provided parking is designed and shared with the intent that the parking can be used
together between the 4 mixed use buildings. Transportation staff have further reviewed the
parking study that was submitted by the applicant and are satisfied that the provided
parking reduction that is requested will be sufficient parking on site to handle the various
demands and uses on the subject property. Staff is of the opinion that the requested
variances meet the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor?
Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are minor as the reduced parking
requirement will not present any significant impacts to adjacent properties or the overall
neighbourhood. Further the Parking Study, prepared by Paradigm, dated October 2023,
submitted with the Minor Variance Applications, supports the reduction in parking.
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 for the appropriate development and
use of the lands, building and/or structure. The proposed variances support the creation of
4 mixed-use buildings containing a total of 240 residential units and commercial units. The
reduction in parking will support more active transportation uses and promotes a healthier
community.
Environmental Planning Comments:
No natural heritage concerns or tree management concerns.
Heritage Planning Comments:
No heritage planning concerns.
Building Division Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variances.
Engineering Division Comments:
Engineering comments/concerns provided through SP20/075/F/AP (Approval November
1, 2021)
Parks/Operations Division Comments:
Parks and operations have no concerns, or comments.
Transportation Planning Comments:
Transportation Services can support the request for a further reduction of vehicle parking
for the subject properties. Given the type of development, the previous parking study
undertaken for the proposed development, and the updated parking study prepared by
Paradigm, dated October 2023, staff are confident that the provided parking will be
enough to handle the demand for parking on-site.
Staff also recommends that the applicant seek to expand their offering in regard to Class
A secured bike parking. This can be secured through an updated Site Plan Application.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This report supports the delivery of core services.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Capital Budget The recommendation has no impact on the Capital Budget.
Operating Budget The recommendation has no impact on the Operating Budget.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
INFORM This report has been

advising that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received. The sign advises
interested parties to find addi

The amendment removed most minimum parking requirements for new
developments, except for visitor and accessible parking, and allows for
maximum parking requirements instead. The November 2021
recommendation also acknowledges that “housing affordability is a
significant challenge” with high costs of constructing and maintaining
parking, and “minimum parking requirements limits households’ ability
to avoid those costs”.

5 Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) refers to ways of making
the capacity of our roads more efficient by reducing vehicle demand.
TDM approaches consider how people’s choices of travel mode are
affected by land use patterns, development design, parking availability, affected by land use patterns, development design, parking availability,

The development is proposing 142 bicycle parking spaces on-site
including 132 Class A spaces and 10 Class B spaces.
As per Minor Variance Application A2021-011, the site requires 132
Class A spaces between residential and retail uses on-site. Zoning By-
law 2019-051requires 10 Class B spaces (4 retail and 6 residential).

The Zoning By-law defines Class A bicycle parking as “a bicycle locker
or an enclosed, secure area with controlled access in which a bicycle
may be parked and secured for the long term in a stable position with
at least one point of contact with the frame of the bicycle” and Class B
bicycle parking as “an area in which a bicycle may be parked and
secured for the short term in a table position with two points of contact
with the frame of the bicycle”.
