ADJOURNMENT Page 8 of 55 January 11, 2025 Good afternoon, I stand before you today as a concerned tenant facing eviction due to alleged renovations at - a place I've called home for 10 years. It's more than just a building, it's a community where we care for each other. Now, I'm filled with anxiety about the future of my home. That's why I'm asking you to support a law that prevents wrongful evictions disguised as renovations. If you search the name online, you will find several articles and discussions about him. He is associated with 21 buildings across Ontario, including ours. Reports suggest that he purchases affordable housing, evicts long-term tenants, and increases rents for new occupants. Many feel his actions prioritize profit over people. Similarly, our building's property manager, Rahul, is perceived as supporting these practices and not offering adequate assistance to residents. In 2019, New Westminster, BC, was the first city in Canada to pass a renoviction bylaw, upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Other cities like Vancouver, Toronto, and Hamilton have followed, and Kitchener should too. The Waterloo Region is in a housing crisis. As one of the fastest growing regions in Canada, affordable housing is hard to find, and rents are rising. Right now, over 2,371 people in our region are homeless, more than double the number from three years ago. For me, this fight is deeply personal. I came to Canada in 2006, fleeing political instability in the Balkans. During the war, my home was hit with bullets, grenades exploded nearby, and neighbors disappeared. My family and I moved from place to place, relying on humanitarian aid, never knowing if we'd make it through another day. We lost everything. When we arrived in Kitchener, this city became our home. We had to start from the beginning. I was determined to learn English, support my family, and rebuild our lives. I was able to do this because we had a safe place to live. I never thought I would have to fight for housing again, especially in Canada, a country known for peace and safety. But now, I may lose my home, not because of war, or anything I've done, but because of a renoviction that prioritizes profit over people. Because there is no bylaw in place to protect people from those like The tenants in my building are suffering. The uncertainty and stress weigh heavily on us. Across Ontario, renovictions are displacing people from their homes, but not everyone has the chance to stand here and plead their case. Many are forced out quietly, without a voice and those who chose to stay are facing unethical consequences. We lost access to our building's garage unless we pay over four times the original fee, from $60 to $250, yet $60 is still being withdrawn from our account. The city helped with street parking during summer, but that has now ended, and with winter coming, we're forced to park blocks away, in city lots, which we have to pay for, although the amount is much less than what our landlord is asking. This action alone creates health and safety risks. This is just one example of the injustice and intimidation we face, with the property manager dismissively telling us, "see you in court" when approached. Page 9 of 55 This council has the power to change that. We need a bylaw to protect tenants from unfair evictions. Other cities have set the example, and Kitchener can too. The right to housing is recognized as international human law. Without stable and secure housing, mental, physical, and financial toll is devastating. This isn't just about emotions, it's about justice and logic. By passing this bylaw, the city can help stabilize the rental market, prevent unjust evictions, and reduce the pressure on emergency shelters and social services. It's a solution that helps the entire community. I urge you to think not only of us here today, but of the countless people this bylaw would protect in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration, and for ensuring that Kitchener remains a place where we can all continue to live safely and Thank you.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to provide Council with updated `Proposed By-law' and `Map No. 1' and updated concept plan for the Zoning By-law Amendment Application for the subject lands located at 400 Westwood Drive that was presented to the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee on January 6, 2025 in report DSD -2025- 004. • This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: On January 6th, 2025 Staff presented Zoning By-law Amendment Application ZBA21/012/W/ES for the subject lands located at 400 Westwood Drive in report DSD - 2025 -004 to the Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee. Committee referred the decision to the Council meeting January 20th, 2025 and directed Staff to dialogue with the applicant and area residents to discuss possible changes to address concerns. Staff scheduled a meeting with the applicant, an area neighbour who participated by delegation, and representatives from the Green Belt Neighbourhood Association for January 14th, 2025. Staff received an updated plan from the applicant on January 13tH *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance.

M Figure 1: Revised Concept Plan (January 13, 2025) Interior Side Yard Setback (South Property Line) The applicant has increased the side yard setback from 2.5 metres to 4.0 metres, pushing the building 1.5 metres further from the southern property line. This will result in the preservation of one additional tree that was previously proposed to be removed as a result of construction of the proposed building. The setback of 4.0 metres is at the front corner of the townhouse unit (pinch point), and the setback increases to 5.8 metres at the rear corner of the townhouse unit. Paired Driveways The applicant has paired the driveways for Lots 2-5, resulting in greater space between driveways of Units 3-4 and 5-6. The resultant 2 larger lawn spaces do not meet the technical length requirements for on -street parallel parking, however in the opinion of Planning Staff it would still be possible to park regular -sized vehicles in those areas. This would result in potentially 5 on -street parking spaces, rather than the original proposal of 3 on -street parking spaces. Zoning of Tree Protection Area to remain as RES -1 Staff have amended the `Proposed By-law' and `Map No. 1' to keep the areas identified as the Tree Protection Area as `RES -1' zoning, rather than changing the zoning to RES -4 as per the original recommendation. Staff acknowledge that while the zoning provision in the Tree Protection Area would not permit any development regardless of whether it is zoned `RES -1' or `RES -4', the Green Belt Neighbourhood Association identified the change to Page 12 of 55 `RES -4' zoning as a concern for potentially opening the area to future development. Staff are able to make the necessary changes to keep the Tree Protection Area as `RES -1' as a result. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: The recommendation of this report supports the achievement of the City's strategic vision through the delivery of core service. 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 posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the council / committee meeting.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is an update on construction phasing for 1001 King Street East. The full building is 29 storeys with 514 dwelling units. Phase 1 is roughly half of the building, being a podium and tower, that are collectively 29 storeys in height with 267 dwelling units, 3 live work units along Charles Street, and 1 commercial unit. • Community engagement was undertaken through the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications. This report was posted with the agenda in advance of the Council meeting. • There are no financial implications with this recommendation. • This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: On May 8, 2023, Kitchener City Council approved Official Plan Amendment Application OPA22/001/K/KA for King Charles Properties (Kitchener) Limited which amended the land use designation to `Mixed Use Corridor with Special Policy Area 10' and approved Zoning By-law Amendment Application ZBA22/001/K/KA to amend the zoning to `High Intensity Mixed Use Corridor Zone (MU -3) with Special Regulation Provision 544R, Special Regulation Provision 788R and Holding Provision 100H'. The Special Regulation Provisions permit an increased Floor Space Ratio (FSR), further regulate parking, permit reduced *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 19 of 55 setbacks to the street, allow for dwelling units and commercial uses to both be located on the ground floor, and to apply a Holding Provision to require remediation of site contamination and an updated noise study. Further, Council adopted the Urban Design Brief for staff to ensure implementation through the site plan process. The applicant has submitted Site Plan Application SP23/075/K/CD which has received conditional Site Plan Approval for a mixed use development with 514 residential dwelling units and ground floor commercial units within one 29 -storey Building. On August 26, 2024, Council issued draft approval of a vacant land plan of condominium for the subject lands. Vive Development is proposing to construct the building in phases — phase 1 of the building (unit 1 of the vacant land condominium) and phase 2 (unit 2 of the vacant land parcel condominium). Attached as Appendix "A" to this report is a Phasing Brief submitted by Vive Development which outlines the technical approach to the phased construction. Staff are advising Council of the phased construction approach as phase 1 will not fully implement the Council adopted Urban Design Brief. REPORT: Vive Development is proposing to construct the proposed building in two phases, where the total build out will largely align with the adopted Urban Design Brief. Phase 2 is proposed to be built as a building addition at a later time. Staff have been advised that phasing is proposed to improve the financial feasibility of the project as a whole. As a result of the phased approach, Staff have had to split the site plan approval process into two phases. Phase 1 alone does not fully align with or implement the Council adopted Urban Design Brief. Staff have raised concerns that if phase 2 construction does not advance immediately, or at all, the temporary exterior walls of the podium and tower do not meet architectural standards and expectations required by the Council adopted Urban Design Brief and the City's Urban Design Manual. While the temporary exterior cladding does match the design of the building and temporary windows have been negotiated for the temporary exterior wall, overall, the temporary exterior wall design is not an acceptable permanent standard as it does not include sufficient architectural details and may appear to be a mostly blank wall. Staff are concerned about the appearance of a 29 storey blank wall that will exist prior to the completion of phase 2 construction. Staff have raised concerns with Vive Development about the phased construction method, the appearance of the temporary exterior wall, and the technical considerations for ensuring life safety systems and building code compliance is met throughout the project (both phases, and phase 1 alone). In response, Vive Development has provided building elevations drawings for the temporary exterior wall that feature consistent building materials that match the rest of the building. Temporary windows are shown on all floors where the future hallway extension will extend into the phase 2 portion of the building (phase 2 will be a building addition). Staff recognize Page 20 of 55 this is an improvement, but the temporary exterior wall lacks sufficient openings, including windows and balconies, that would be typical for this type of building design. To address staff concerns about the blank fagade along the podium and tower, Vive Development is proposing to provide the City with a $50,000 security for the installation of a mural or other public art installation (the "Public Art Feature") to be installed along the blank wall. In the event that the Owner fails to complete their obligations (phase 2 construction), the City shall have the right to draw down on the security at any time for the installation of the Public Art Feature to the satisfaction of the City's Director of Development and Housing Approvals. Staff are also securing a temporary free and unobstructed right, interest and easement on, over and through the property for the purpose of ingress and egress, and access for constructing, installing, hanging, inspecting, altering, affixing, replacing, reconstructing, maintaining and repairing the Public Art Feature, at the sole cost of Vive Development. Staff are not familiar with other Canadian examples of vertical phasing for towers (examples exist for phased podium) and have asked for examples from the Applicant's team. The attached Phasing Brief notes that Vive Development's Director of Construction, Bassem Saweris, has been involved in other international projects that used vertical phasing. The project architect, Kyle Reinders of Reinders + Law Ltd. has provided a professional opinion letter (as a qualified Architect, Ontario Association of Architects) advising on the approach of the vertical phasing and how life safety systems and building code compliance will be met for both phases. Staff are concerned with the risk of the appearance of a temporary (and permanent) 29 storey blank wall until phase 2 construction is completed. Staff are also concerned that such an approach may set a precedent for future developments in Kitchener or become permanent if phase 2 is not realized. Staff are not aware of any Canadian examples of vertical phasing of a high rise tower and believe this will be the first of its kind in Canada. Recent changes to the Planning Act exclude exterior design as a matter that is subject to site plan control. Vive Development has responded to staff requests for consistent cladding materials and some windows on the tower portion of the temporary wall. Further, construction phasing is not regulated by the Planning Act, and a building could be partially constructed, in phases, and still comply with the Ontario Building Code. Vive Development has agreed to the City's requirements of a Public Art Security, easement, and exterior cladding for the temporary wall. While staff would prefer the full construction of the building, life safety and building code compliance can be achieved used this phased approach. Staff recommend adopting the Phasing Brief. Staff will report back with the progress on this project after construction of Phase 1 and do no recommend any other vertical phasing projects be supported before that time (approximately two years), without specific Council direction.

RE: 1001 King St — Phased Development rPilo ohkn The King Ottawa and Charles development project at 1001 King Street East has been split into two Phases of Construction. Phase A is 267 units encompassing a 29 -storey residential tower along with a 4 -storey podium residential and parking garage building. Phase B is 248 units encompassing a 29 -storey addition to the existing tower and a perpendicular 11 storey residential tower to complete the 515 -unit development. The Phase line between Phase A and Phase B will be on the west side of grid line G which is running north and south in a straight line for this development (see drawing attached). The rationale for undertaking the two-phase project is to suit the financial viability of the entire development. As soon as Phase A is built and occupancy can start, then the intention is for the Phase B development construction to start. Construction drawings for the Phase B development are nearing completion so that all detailing between the two Phases is complete in their integration and understood, while Phase A is being constructed. The building design has been developed with this two -Phase approach to allow the development to be undertaken. The following attributes have been considered in the two -Phase approach: The Life Safety aspects (sprinklers, travel distances, spatial separation, fire protection, etc.) of Phase A and Phase B have been coordinated and complement each other. The Life Safety of Phase A is intact to serve the single development so that it can be occupied while Phase B construction is ongoing. Phase A is not dependent on Phase B to maintain the Life Safety of Phase A. Once Phase B is constructed the Life Safety of the entire building is holistically complete. Whether reviewed singularly or in combination Life Safety has been coordinated and both these plans have been illustrated on the building permit submission for Phase A. Elevator and vertical travel elements (stairs) have been coordinated so that when Phase A is constructed and occupied the appropriate number of elevations and exit stairwells have been provided to suit the Phase A development. When Phase B is constructed in the future, additional elevators and exit stairwells are being added to allow the completed development of Phase A and Page 36 of 55 B to act as a single building development. Entrances on King and Charles Streets developed in Phase A will be maintained as the entrance to the entire development once completed. The Structural Cast -in place Engineers and the Total Precast Concrete Engineers have worked in tandem on both Phase A and Phase B. Phase A has the structure designed so that it is not dependent on the development of Phase B for structural or lateral loading. This way the Phase A development can be safely occupied while the Phase B development is under construction. The structures have been designed so that after the construction of the first tower the second tower can be erected independently but the final design will allow for one overall development. There is no additional structure being added in Phase B to sustain the Phase A structure. The structural engineers have detailed the development of the raft slab for Phase A and the adjacent temporary shoring to the west of Phase A so that in the future the raft slabs can be connected for a holistic building structure and that the west development on this site will have additional shoring being placed on the north, east and south sides. Once these shoring elements are in place then the temporary shoring at the Phase A and B junctions can be removed. All details at the junction of the two buildings have been reviewed to allow the separate construction of both developments. Phase A has been designed with a loadbearing CIP or Precast wall on the west side of the building. The exposed face of this building will be concrete with architectural details (reveals and panels) and windows along the future corridor connection, that will allow for a temporary aesthetic of this west face while the future Phase B building is being developed. Similarly, this west face will be internally thermally insulated to allow the north facing units on this side to have a thermal barrier to the exterior while Phase B is being erected and constructed. This will allow for full comfort of these tenants until the building is fully constructed. Once Phase B is constructed the internal insulation of these north units will remain intact which increases the STC rating between the buildings. The Developer has agreed to a letter of credit for placing a mural or artwork on the west face of the development should Phase B not proceed. All heritage aspects of the development have been incorporated into Phase A showing the intentionality of the developer and the importance of these items. They have not been deferred to Phase B. The building elevations of both buildings have been designed so that both Phases will match together and show one complete building mass when both Phases of the project are completed. Careful detailing has allowed this to occur. Inherently the design of the Phase A and Phase B buildings have allowed them to exist singularly and together as complete developments. Many phased residential projects have been completed across the province. Examples of phased developments that our firm has been involved in are: King Cameo Development on 3241 King St East. This is a three-phase development by Vive Developments. Tower A is currently under construction, while Tower B is in for permit and Tower C has started design development. All three developments are link by a below and above grade parking garage while respecting each other's vistas. Development is similarly a multi -phase approach due to financing feasibility. 64 ONTARIO STREET NORTH, MILTON, ON L9T ZT1 / OFFICE: 905-457-1 61 8 Page 37 of 55 1430 Highland Road (Savic Homes) is a four phased development with Reinders and Law Ltd. being involved in the fourth phase 17 storey building completing the development. Similarly, the three other developments were permitted to occur before the final street facing facade of Building G. The three residential towers are linked by an underground parking garage and a sharing of various facilities. Redeemer University - Charis Live and Learn Centre was a twin pod student housing project encompassing a north and south residential pod that allowed the north pod to be fully constructed to allow student occupancy while the south pod was being completed six months later to meet funding and financial timelines. A total of 170 student accommodations were provided in this facility. In addition to these projects that we have been involved in, Vive Development's Director of Construction, Bassen Saweris, has been involved in multiple high-rise projects that have followed a similar process of Vertical Phasing. We have reviewed the methodology used in these projects in developing our approach as explained above. P2 Marina Walk — Bassein was involved in Phase 2 of this Tower Complex as part of the contractor's team focused on forming and construction of the second phase of this elongated slab tower. This development was built in 4 consecutive vertical phases. Due to the length of the slab and the scale of the project, vertical phasing was introduced. This phasing was implemented to facilitate the leasing sales and marketing of smaller, incremental portions of the development. The phases were vertically connected to each adjacent phase. There were challenges in matching the texture and colour of the adjacent phases due to the weathering of the finish. This has informed the development at 1001 King to provide colour changes along these phasing lines to reduce the impact of matching finishes on adjacent precast panels. Another challenge was the connection between the two adjacent raft slabs. 1001 King St will use 1.Om of lean concrete in the connection between rafts rather that epoxy coat or dowelling. JLT Cluster X, Sheikh Zayed Rd, Dubai — Bassein was involved as the Owner's Representative and Engineer -in -Charge of this two -phased project. The Tower development was split vertically through the center of the building with 3 elevators servicing one half of the development and 3 elevators servicing the other half of the development. The phasing was done as it was anticipated that Phase 1 was to be developed as offices and business centres and Phase 2 was being developed as a hotel. Phasing allowed for expedited construction of Phase 1 while contract negotiations continued for Phase 2. As Phase 1 was completed construction, work on Phase 2 began immediately from the base, attaching the newly built tower vertically at each level. The curtain wall building envelope provided a unique challenge in the detailing for water -tightness and constructability. The phasing line for the 1001 King development has been located at the joint of two precast panels at all points vertically on the tower. This allows for a simple and common joint detail to be used to complete the building envelope as Phase 2 is constructed. In addition to the phasing strategies listed previously, 1001 King will also use knockout panels in the hallways and parking connections. The knockout panels will be constructed with heavy gauge steel studs to facilitate enclosing Phase 1's building envelope while allowing for constructability of Phase 2 of the development. A shelf angle will be welded to the precast panel/slabs to allow for future connection to the Phase 2 building components. 64 ONTARIO STREET NORTH, MILTON, ON L9T ZT1 / OFFICE: 905-457-1 61 8 Page 38 of 55 Boundary Laver Wind Tunnel I MEMO VIA EMAIL Attn: Tristan Connelly, Vive Development From: P. Case, Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory Date: January 7, 2025 Re: 1001 King St E, Kitchener (1001 King) It is common practice that pedestrian level wind studies for new developments consider the full site in their completed configuration. It is less common to consider phased construction where the phasing is known or expected to be a relatively short term and therefore reflect an interim condition. In the case of the KOC development, the adjoining west side of the site (Phase 2) is to be constructed following Phase 1. The completed development (i.e. Phase 1 + 2) reflects a larger and broader (more bluff) configuration and as typical would be expected to displace more oncoming wind, thereby leading to the more critical wind conditions at ground level. In this respect, the interim condition (Phase 1 alone) can generally be expected to produce lesser winds at ground -level compared to that of the completed development. Nonetheless, without Phase 2 present, the 29 -storey tower extends to the ground which will impact the effect of downwash winds, particularly at the SW corner of the 29 -storey building (at ground level), and at the NW corner of the 29 -storey building (at podium level). While the fully phased development is expected to reflect the more critical condition for ground level winds, it would be prudent to incorporate mitigation to provide greater assurance for wind comfort in Phase 1 of the development. Recommended mitigation is illustrated in Figure 1. Sincerely, P.
