REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to outline a request to be approved by Council to demolish an existing Single Detached Dwelling located at 153 Courtland Avenue East. • The key finding of this report is that staff support the demolition of the Single Detached dwelling as the By-law Enforcement Division is requesting demolition and Heritage Planning Staff have issued a Heritage Demolition Permit for the site. • The financial implications are that the cost of the demolition will be invoiced to the property owner. If the invoice is not paid, the costs will be added to the property tax roll as a priority lien. • Community engagement included the information posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the Council/Committee meeting. All property owners within 30 metres of the subject property will receive notice of the demolition control application for information purposes immediately following Council approval. • This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: The Development Services Department has received an application to demolish an existing Single Detached Dwelling at 153 Courtland Avenue East. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 3 of 187 The subject property is located in the Mill Courtland Woodside Park area, between Cedar Street South and Madison Avenue South on Courtland Avenue East. The existing building is in extremely poor condition and is currently vacant. The property is designated as `Strategic Growth Area A' on Map 3 — Land Use in the City's 2014 Official Plan. It is zoned `Residential Five Zone (R-5)' under Zoning By-law 85-1 and `Strategic Growth Area One Zone (SGA -1)' under Zoning By-law 2019-51 (currently under appeal). The purpose of this application is to permit the demolition of the existing dwelling due to persistent by-law violations and ongoing complaints. As no resolution has been achieved, and repair costs are excessive, By-law Enforcement has determined that demolition is the most economical course of action. Additionally, the property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Heritage Planning staff have reviewed the proposed demolition and have no objections and a Heritage Permit Application for demolition was issued in October 2024. Figure 1: Location Map REPORT: Staff advise that the By-law Enforcement Division is proposing to demolish the unoccupied property due to the deterioration of the property, the costs of demolition are significantly less than the cost of the required repairs, and staff do not have `right of entry' into the dwelling unit to complete the required repairs. By-law Enforcement staff first received a complaint regarding the deteriorating exterior condition of the subject property in May 2020. In response, an inspection was conducted, leading to the issuance of an Order to Comply in June 2020. The order identified several Page 4 of 187 deficiencies requiring repair or replacement, including cladding, soffits, fascia boards, and windowsills. The deadline for compliance lapsed on July 15, 2020, with the property owner failing to complete the required work. While staff acknowledge that the COVID-19 pandemic may have posed challenges to meet the deadline, no corrective action was ever taken. By-law Enforcement staff took further steps to bring the property into compliance. However, during this process, structural concerns were identified. In November 2023, the property owner granted permission for an interior inspection, which confirmed that a structural analysis was necessary before any exterior repairs could proceed. In March 2024, By-law Enforcement staff received a Structural Condition Assessment prepared by Tacoma Engineers (dated April 4, 2024). The assessment concluded that the required exterior repairs could not be completed without addressing significant structural issues, which would ultimately necessitate a full rebuild of the building. Given this finding, By-law Enforcement staff proceeded to obtain cost estimates to bring the property into compliance. By-law Enforcement staff are proposing to demolish the single -detached dwelling to comply with the original Order to Comply, which requires that the building either be repaired or demolished. Approval of this application will result in the property becoming a vacant lot. Demolition Control Considerations The property is located within the City's Demolition Control Area, as defined in the City's Demolition Control By-law. The demolition control provisions under Section 33 of the Planning Act are intended to: • Prevent the premature loss of viable housing stock and the creation of vacant parcels of land. • Protect the appearance, character, and integrity of residential neighborhoods and streetscapes where no redevelopment is planned. • Prevent the premature loss of municipal property assessment. • Retain existing dwelling units until redevelopment plans have been considered and approved. • Ensure that redevelopment occurs in a timely manner, where proposed. Heritage Considerations As the property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, a Heritage Permit Application for demolition was required and was obtained in October 2024. The permit approval was based on the property being in an advanced state of deterioration, making repairs impractical and significantly more costly than demolition. Regulatory Requirements Under Sections 15.1 to 15.8 of the Building Code Act, the By-law Enforcement Division is required to: • Obtain quotes for both the repair and demolition of buildings that do not comply with the Property Standards By-law. Page 5 of 187 • Proceed with the lowest quote to bring the property into compliance. Since the demolition will result in the loss of a dwelling unit without an approved plan for redevelopment (such as a Building Permit, Zoning Occupancy Certificate, or Site Plan), a Council decision is required in accordance with the City's Demolition Control Policy.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to outline a request to be approved by Council to demolish an existing single detached dwelling located at 101 Clive Road. • The key finding of this report is that staff support the demolition of existing two storey dwelling as Habitat for Humanity (Owner) intends to redevelop the property with a multiple residential development consisting of 24 dwelling units within two buildings in accordance with the conditionally approved site plan SP22/014/C/ES. • There are no financial implications as there is no impact to the capital or operating budget. • Community engagement included the information posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the Council/Committee meeting. All property owners within 30 metres of the subject property will receive notice of the demolition control application for information purposes immediately following Council approval. • This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: The Development Services Department has received an application requesting the demolition of an existing single detached dwelling addressed as 101 Clive Road. The subject property is located on the north-east side of Clive Road and Fairmount Road. It is in the Eastwood neighbourhood which is primarily comprised of low-rise residential *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 10 of 187 uses. It is identified as `Community Areas' on Map 2 — Urban Structure and is designated `Low Rise Residential' on Map 3 — Land Use Designation in the City's 2014 Official Plan. The property is zoned `Low Rise Residential Five Zone (RES -5)' in Zoning By-law 2019- 051. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing multiple dwelling to allow for future construction of multiple residential development consisting of 24 dwelling units within two buildings. Location Map — 101 Clive Road REPORT: Habitat for Humanity has requested that the current unoccupied two storey dwelling be demolished in order to prepare the site for future residential development, which will provide an overall increase of 23 units (24 new units, one unit demolished), parking spaces, landscaped areas, and amenity space including a playground. A site plan application has been conditionally approved to facilitate the proposed development. The intention of the demolition control is to retain the existing housing stock for interim use prior to redevelopment. However, the existing dwelling has been vacant for over two years and is currently in poor repair condition. Therefore, it is not suitable for occupancy. Staff do not have concerns with the demolition of the existing two storey dwelling as it is the intention of Habitat for Humanity to redevelop the lot with new multiple residential developments. Since the demolition will result in the loss of a dwelling unit without an approved plan for redevelopment (Building Permit for redevelopment), a Council decision is required in accordance with the City's Demolition Control Policy. Page 11 of 187 Demolition Control Considerations The property is located within the City's Demolition Control Area, as defined in the City's Demolition Control By-law. The demolition control provisions under Section 33 of the Planning Act are intended to: • Prevent the premature loss of viable housing stock and the creation of vacant parcels of land. • Protect the appearance, character, and integrity of residential neighborhoods and streetscapes where no redevelopment is planned. • Prevent the premature loss of municipal property assessment. • Retain existing dwelling units until redevelopment plans have been considered and approved. • Ensure that redevelopment occurs in a timely manner, where proposed. The property is not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and is not adjacent to any cultural heritage resources. Heritage Planning has no concerns with the application.

Page 14 of 187 BACKGROUND: The History of Growth Management in Kitchener Kitchener has a long history of responsible growth management dating back to the 1960s, when our population of 100,000 residents was forecasted to double in 20 years. The "Kitchener 2000 — A Regional Concept" was completed in 1964 to stage development in a "logical economic means" that would "closely relate to the financial ability for the City to provide infrastructure". This set the stage for what was known as the "Staging of Development" process for coordinating new subdivision growth in Kitchener. In the early 2000s, the Staging of Development process evolved to the "Kitchener Growth Management Strategy" to forecast growth to 2031, including strategies for managing growth within the existing built-up area of the City (i.e., infill and intensification). The Kitchener Growth Management Strategy remains in place today, and at regular intervals, a Growth Management Plan is created to prioritize and align development approvals with infrastructure and complete community objectives. Additionally, an annual growth management monitoring report has been prepared each year since 2010 that provides a snapshot of Kitchener's growth and its achievements toward provincial growth targets, including the Annual Growth Monitoring Report for 2024 (DSD -2025-101) that is being presented to Council on March 17, 2025. Looking Ahead As Kitchener grows to become a city of up to 450,000 residents by 2051 (reflecting an average annual growth rate of 1.5 percent), a new Official Plan is needed. A new Official Plan will guide where people live and work and shape the way that neighbourhoods evolve and change over time. It will be ambitious and intentional as we plan for the Kitchener of 2051 and set the stage for the next iteration of growth management planning in the City. On February 10, 2025, a Council Strategic Session (DSD -2025-061) was held to present the Community Values and seek Council's input on the draft Big Ideas and Focus Areas which will help shape Kitchener's new Official Plan. This Report is being brought forward to Council alongside "Engaging on Approaches to Growth (Kitchener 2051)" (DSD -2025-091). REPORT: Studying Approaches to Growth Kitchener 2051 will inform where and how we grow from a range of perspectives, including the environment, the economy, infrastructure capacity, and fostering complete communities. Two technical studies will: • Confirm the number of residents and jobs to plan for in 2051. • Inform Where and how Kitchener will grow to accommodate the forecasted population and jobs. 2 Page 15 of 187 The "Population and Employment Forecast Study" prepared by Watson & Associates has confirmed the population and employment forecasts set out in the Regional Official Plan, finding that Kitchener is expected to grow to a population of 446,000 residents (reflecting an average annual growth rate of 1.5 per cent, much less than what has occurred on an annual basis in recent years). The "Growth Scenarios Study" being undertaken collaboratively between City staff, with support from Dillon Consulting, CIMA+, and Watson & Associates, will determine where and how we will grow to accommodate this growth. This Study includes technical analyses related to transportation, water, wastewater, and financial implications to inform decisions about how and where we grow. Evaluating Approaches to Growth Determining the preferred approach to growth — which will be the key driver of the new Official Plan, will be shaped by multiple inputs, including: • Community Parameters — informed by the Community Values, Kitchener 2051 Community Working Group input, and best / emerging practices, Community Parameters will help facilitate conversations with the community about trade-offs and opportunities about how and where Kitchener will grow in the future. • Technical Evaluation Criteria — informed by the Kitchener 2051 technical studies and modelling, Technical Evaluation Criteria will enable analysis of each approach to growth and identification of opportunities or constraints needing to be addressed. • Council Direction & Cross -Divisional Staff Priorities — informed by regular and ongoing engagement.

The evaluation process may also identify policy interventions which are required. The approaches to growth which will be evaluated are introduced in "Engaging on Approaches to Growth (Kitchener 2051)" DSD -2025-091. 3 Page 16 of 187 Engaging on Approaches to Growth Community Parameters Community Parameters will help facilitate conversations with the community about trade-offs and opportunities related to how and where Kitchener will grow in the future. The Community Parameters are not intended to be exhaustive or lead someone towards a `preferred' approach to growth but rather to understand the community's priorities. Feedback from the community will be considered in the development of a preferred composite approach to growth. They will serve as the basis for the upcoming Phase 3 community and collaborator engagement activities, including an interactive workshop and speaker series event (as detailed in DSD -2025-091). The activities will present information and gamify the Community Parameters in a manner that requires attendees to balance trade-offs in important city building decisions. The Community Parameters have been prepared with direct input and collaboration with the Kitchener 2051 Community Working Group and informed by the Community Values. The Community Parameters are outlined below: • It is important that I have access to shops and services that serve my neighbourhood, like places to buy groceries or grab a coffee, within a short walk, roll, or bike ride from home. • It is important that I be able to live in my neighbourhood throughout different stages of I ife. • It is important that I live near transit routes that come frequently enough to not have to check a schedule during the week. • It is important that I live near trails with year-round access. • It is important that I have park or natural area within a short walk from home. • It is important that we find ways to add new trees as we grow. • It is important that every neighbourhood include spaces to work, shop, gather, and build community. • It is important that there are places throughout the city beyond Downtown where I can enjoy community events and local arts and culture. • It is important that there are good job opportunities within a short walk, roll, bike, or transit ride from home. Technical Evaluation Criteria Concurrently, the Project Team and Consultants will be evaluating each approach to growth through a series of technical evaluation criteria (Attachment A). The technical evaluation criteria will include the following considerations: • Climate Adaptation and Mitigation (e.g., tree canopy impacts) • Social Planning (e.g., proximity to existing amenities and community facilities) • Housing (e.g., support for a mix of housing types) • Transportation (e.g., road network capacity, proximity to trails) 4 Page 17 of 187 • Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (e.g., capacity in existing water and wastewater distribution networks) • Financial Implications (e.g., costs to expand municipal infrastructure) • Complete Communities & Economy (e.g., shops, jobs, non-residential uses, industry, institutional uses) • Natural Heritage System (e.g., proximity of residents to natural areas) • Parks and Open Space (e.g., access to parks, sports fields) The Community Parameters and Technical Evaluation Criteria will be used to inform continued community and collaborator engagement on Kitchener 2051 and approaches to growth.

Collaboration on Kitchener 2051 is occurring regularly with the Community Working Group (CWG). The CWG includes a diverse group of individuals that represent the demographics of Kitchener (and look like the Kitchener of tomorrow). The CWG is learning about what the City needs to consider through a new Official Plan and collaborating with staff and consultants to meaningfully shape all aspects of the plan.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the status of Housing for All (2020) actions and highlight the ways that Kitchener has established itself as Ontario's leader in innovative and advanced housing policy and planning. • All 44 Housing for All actions have been completed or substantially progressed. • Staff continue to work on implementing the Housing for All action items, alongside Housing Accelerator Fund initiatives, and preparing a new Official Plan, which will focus on, among other things, housing supply, choice, and affordability. • This report supports building a Connected City Together: Focuses on neighbourhoods; housing and ensuring secure, affordable homes; getting around easily, sustainably and safely to the places and spaces that matter. BACKGROUND: In 2020, very few area municipalities in Ontario had housing strategies. Kitchener was forward -thinking in its ambition to establish an housing strategy and set out a list of priorities and action items to create meaningful change in areas related to housing. As an area municipality, Kitchener has found creative ways to support and contribute to the provision of housing and it has seized as many opportunities as possible to provide solutions to the housing affordability crisis. Kitchener intentionally prioritized housing with its first housing strategy, Housing for All (HFA) which was approved by Council in 2020. HFA is Kitchener's comprehensive strategy to realize the right to housing and help make housing affordable using the tools and resources available to a local municipality. It is also Kitchener's commitment to addressing matters related to housing *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 22 of 187 supply, affordability, and inequity. HFA contains seven key priority areas and 44 actions, all of which have either been accomplished or significantly advanced in the intervening years (See Attachment A for the status of all 44 actions). Through HFA, City staff have supported the development of numerous supportive housing projects, launched an innovative collaboration with people who have the lived experience of homelessness through the Lived Expertise Working Group, and completed significant policy and by-law amendments that support existing and new affordable housing, including development fee waivers for affordable housing, a Rental Replacement By -Law, and as -of -right permissions for lodging homes across the city. Alongside HFA, the City has undertaken a complementary series of initiatives targeted at private market housing development. Achieved in part under the CMHC's Housing Accelerator Fund program, these include the six -time award-winning planning framework for Kitchener's Major Transit Station Areas (Growing Together); an Inclusionary Zoning framework; and city-wide permissions for 4 units as of right.

Federal programs like the Rapid Housing Initiative and the Housing Accelerator Fund have further supported these efforts by prioritizing the growth of affordable and supportive housing. REPORT: Since the approval of HFA in December 2020, Kitchener has redefined what is possible for area municipalities in housing policy. With Council's leadership and staff's determined commitment, all 44 of the actions in HFA have been advanced. This report Page 23 of 187 summarizes what has been achieved under HFA and related housing work and recognizes the City's accomplishments, setting the stage for the next phase of the City's work. Building a Strong Housing Policy Framework • Crafted an effective balance between the promotion of high-quality development (through initiatives such as Growing Together), efficient approvals processes, and measures designed to protect and promote affordability (such as the Rental Replacement By -Law and Inclusionary Zoning). • Established a transformative, bold and balanced planning framework for transit - oriented development through Growing Together in Kitchener's major transit station areas (MTSAs). • Implemented city-wide permissions for four residential units as of right, significantly expanding housing options. • Developed an Inclusionary Zoning framework that will require affordable homes within Kitchener's protected major transit station areas. • Enacted a Rental Replacement By-law to protect tenants and preserve affordable housing stock. • Established as -of -right permissions for lodging homes across the city where other residential uses are allowed. Advancing Equity and Lived Expertise • Established and extended the Lived Expertise Working Group (LEWG) pilot, ensuring that individuals with first-hand experience of housing precarity and homelessness have an opportunity to share their insights into housing policy development and decision-making. • Developed an online resource of information for tenants that is hosted on the City's website and an online eviction survey in collaboration with LEWG to collect data and inform housing policy. • The LEWG informed the development and implementation of Kitchener's Rental Replacement By-law. • Members of the LEWG shared stories about their experiences through a photo exhibition, storytelling theater, and a LEWG video that highlighted the importance of lived expertise in housing decisions. Expanding Affordable and Supportive Housing Facilitated the creation of over 184 supportive homes in Kitchener with an additional 84 in development. Partnered with non -profits and developers to maximize the use of City -owned land for affordable housing, including three upcoming projects. Supported projects such as YWKW Block Line (41 supportive housing units and 10 affordable housing units), Indwell St. Mark's redevelopment, and Habitat for Humanity initiatives. Page 24 of 187 Enhancing Development Approvals and Incentives • Created an affordable housing concierge service to streamline approvals for non- profit and affordable housing developments. • Waived development fees for non -profits and introduced a Not-for-profit affordable rental and co-op housing incentive grant that will distribute $5.2 million in seed funding grants for non -market housing development. The Housing Accelerator Fund and Kitchener 2051 In 2024, Kitchener further intensified its efforts to advance housing -related initiatives and ensure that Kitchener continues to be a leader in addressing housing challenges for all residents. City staff have leveraged the funding opportunities resulting from the Housing Accelerator Fund program, which is set to distribute an estimated $2.9 million in 2025 and $42.4 million over the course of the program's 4 -year lifespan. Highlights of Kitchener's Housing Accelerator Fund program include: • Enabling city-wide permissions for four residential units as of right with a how-to guide and public campaign to support the uptake and adoption of additional units. • Leveraging funding to acquire strategic parcels of land to land bank for future affordable housing opportunities. • Partnerships with Kitchener Housing Inc. and Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region to develop approximately 105 units of affordable housing on City -owned land. • The launch of the Not-for-profit Affordable Rental and Co-op Housing Incentive, which is set to distribute $5.2 million over the course of the program's lifespan. • The successful passage of the Growing Together West planning framework and Inclusionary Zoning framework and considerable progress on Growing Together East. City Staff are also advancing work on a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) in support of the development of the Kitchener 2051 Official Plan. Early findings of the HNA confirm that, despite the City's many successes, persistent and emerging challenges related to housing equity remain in Kitchener. The early findings highlight that access to housing in Kitchener is shaped not only by supply constraints but also by systemic inequities, affordability gaps, and barriers faced by priority populations for housing need—including seniors, racialized communities, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and low-income renters. The assessment further emphasizes that housing affordability must be considered in the broader context of community well-being, infrastructure planning, and economic resilience. Housing for All 2.0 To ensure that the new Official Plan being developed through Kitchener 2051 is informed by the current state of the housing landscape (e.g., housing policy at other orders of government), and given that 2025 marks 5 years since the approval of Page 25 of 187 Kitchener's first housing strategy, staff are proposing to commence work on Housing for All 2.0 which will build on the successes of HFA. It will be a focused update to complement and integrate with existing work occurring through the Kitchener 2051 including the Housing Needs Assessment. Housing for All 2.0 is intended to provide a better understanding of available policy tools within the Ontario legal framework, build and strengthen relationships with community collaborators, and identify any additional opportunities to support the construction of affordable housing led by non -profits and community groups. Over the next year, staff will conduct a detailed assessment of the local housing landscape (including housing providers and available funding streams). This work will, where appropriate, inform recommendations for Kitchener's new Official Plan and ensure that the City's housing policies remain effective, forward -thinking, and responsive to community needs STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports Building a Connected City Together: Focuses on neighbourhoods; housing and ensuring secure, affordable homes; getting around easily, sustainably and safely to the places and spaces that matter. 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. Additionally, the HFA actions status was shared with Kitchener's Lived Expertise Working Group in March.

BACKGROUND: As Kitchener grows to become a city of up to 450,000 residents by 2051 (reflecting an average annual growth rate of 1.5 per cent, lower annual growth than what has been experienced over the past few years), a new Official Plan is needed. A new Official Plan will *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 41 of 187 guide where people live and work and shape the way that neighbourhoods evolve and change over time. It will be ambitious and intentional as we plan for the Kitchener of 2051. On February 10, 2025, a Council Strategic Session (DSD -2025-061) was held to present the Community Values and seek Council's input on the draft Big Ideas and Focus Areas which will help shape Kitchener's new Official Plan. This Report is being brought forward to Council alongside Report DSD -2025-084 "Evaluating Approaches to Growth (Kitchener 2051)". REPORT: Community and Collaborator Engagement Through meaningful community and collaborator engagement, the new Official Plan and elements of the planning process such as data analysis, forecasting, and the work of policy experts, will be anchored in and shaped by the voices and experiences of those who live, work, and play here. What We Heard in Phases 1 and 2 Phase 1 of Kitchener 2051 engagement was focused on developing the engagement approach, gaining a deeper understanding of community demographics, building relationships, and enhancing collaboration between City staff undertaking other city -building initiatives. Staff had conversations with representatives from Conestoga Students Inc., the Coalition of Muslim Women of Kitchener -Waterloo, the Kitchener -Waterloo Multicultural Centre, as well as Kitchener's Equity and Anti -Racism Advisory Committee and Lived Expertise Working Group, amongst others. This early foundational work prepared the Project Team to foster productive discussions, integrate diverse perspectives, and create a transparent and inclusive process in the Community Engagement Plan. A call for applications to join the Kitchener 2051 Community Working Group was put out in July 2024, with over 140 applications being received. Applications were carefully reviewed by community members and City staff, with 32 residents being selected to join. The CWG meets monthly with City staff and consultants supporting Kitchener 2051 which provides opportunities to learn about city planning, shape the project process and outcomes, generate ideas based on personal experiences, and act as champions for the project in their communities. To -date, the CWG has helped identify community groups to engage with, shape Community Parameters, and inform keys messages around approaches to growth. Phase 2 of Kitchener 2051 engagement was focused on publicly launching the project in a big way, sharing information on the role of a new Official Plan with the community, and seeking input and ideas on how the changes unfolding in our community over the next 25 years can benefit everyone. A "What We Heard Report" (Attachment A) has been prepared by Urban Strategies — the Kitchener 2051 community engagement consultant, to summarize the extensive Page 42 of 187 engagement completed and input received to -date. Kitchener 2051 has taken bold steps to reach new audiences, equity denied communities, and residents from all wards of the city including: • Hosting a day -long Gaukel Block Party launch event in October which was attended by over 1,200 residents who shared their ideas and aspirations through game -based learning throughout the day; • Hosting 7 Community Working Group Meetings, and finding opportunities for members to support community engagement by attending events in their neighbourhood; • Holding 20 additional engagement opportunities City-wide with the community and collaborators, including advisory committee meetings, one-on-one meetings with community groups, and industry meetings; • Starting the Kitchener 2051 Speaker Series, with the first event being hosted in collaboration with KW Habilitation to discuss topics around ability and mobility, attended by over 100 community members; • Receiving over 1,300 comments, ideas, and survey responses; and • Promoting Kitchener 2051 on the cover of the "Kitchener Life" magazine, which is sent to over 60,000 households, and reaching an additional 20,000 residents via social media, posters, and radio advertisements. Distilled from the thoughts, ideas, and suggestions gathered during Phase 2, the Community Values illustrate a shared desire for a future Kitchener that is equitable, connected, and resilient, with a deep sense of care for its people and environment. What's to Come in Phase 3 Building on what was shared and heard in Phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 will focus on conversations about approaches to growth through a series of Community Parameters and sharing the Big Ideas and Focus Areas. Key components of Phase 3 engagement include: • Continued monthly conversations with the Community Working Group; • Continued dialogue with First Nations; • Launching the Community Conversation Kits; and • Hosting interactive in-person and online community engagement and the second event in the Kitchener 2051 Speaker Series. Phase 3 of engagement will communicate where changes have been made to the process and connecting what we learned to the development of new content in the introduction of Big Ideas and Focus Areas (DSD -2025-084) and Approaches to Growth. During the Council Strategic Session on February 10, 2025 (DSD -2025-061), members of Council shared comments as they related to the Big Ideas and Focus areas, as well as general comments for consideration in the new Official Plan. Attachment B provides responses to many of the questions raised during the Council Strategic Session. Page 43 of 187 Conversation Kits Accessible and interactive Conversation Kits will introduce and gather feedback on the Big Ideas and Focus Areas through community -led discussions facilitated by members of the Community Working Group and other communities in Kitchener. These kits aim to build knowledge, provide opportunities for community connection, and generate ideas and conversations about the directions of Kitchener's new Official Plan. The Community Conversation Kits will be available digitally online and in -print at City facilities. Approaches to Growth Engagement & Speaker Series Event An interactive and engaging public event is being designed to have conversations about Kitchener's future and approaches to growth. This will begin with the second Speaker Series session that will get the audience thinking about Kitchener's future and about the types of disruptions and opportunities that exist as we write a new Official Plan. Following the speaker, the event will continue with activities based on the Community Parameters to help attendees better understand the trade-offs and opportunities that need to be considered as we plan for growth. Three approaches to growth (Attachment C) as well as the community parameters will be the focus of the conversations held at this in-person engagement event, as well as a parallel engagement online. As outlined in report DSD -2025-085, the community parameters will be used by participants to understand the community's priorities. The input gathered at this event as well as online, together with all input gathered to date, and technical studies/evaluation will be considered by the Project Team in developing a recommended composite approach to growth. Modelling Approaches to Growth To enable the assessment of different ways of distributing housing and job growth, the City undertook a modelling exercise to evaluate three potential approaches to growth. Attachment C details the approach to developing these models, including the background and core assumptions. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports Building a Connected City Together: Focuses on neighbourhoods; housing and ensuring secure, affordable homes; getting around easily, sustainably and safely to the places and spaces that matter. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Capital Budget — The recommendation has no impact on the Capital Budget. Operating Budget — The recommendation has no impact on the Operating Budget.

The intent of this work is not to choose one approach over the other, but to understand the benefits and impacts of each, to help best evolve the City's plan for Kitchener in 2051. The It Just as they always have, Kitchener's neighbourhoods are growing to meet' the changing needs of our community members, both existing and new. Responsible, equitable strategies to accommodate growth will lead to a more vibrant, sustainable Kitchener with more to offer to more people,�l��pl�y�� including homes for all, and shops, services and community spaces that can meet all our needs. Directing most of our future growth toward a mix of uses in already built-up areas of the city will help limit sprawl and protect farmland and natural areas, make public transit more accessible to more people, create more opportunities to shop locally, and allow people to spend more time in more vibrant spaces in all our neighbourhoods. It will enable more housing choice, with the goal of providing a home within every neighbourhood that meets the needs of anyone or any family among our diverse and diversifying community. II[Ad you know? I The Kitchener 2051 Approaches to Growth build on the work of the Growing � Together project for Kitchener's Major Transit Station Areas - the areas surrounding the ION Light Rail Transit line. Growing Together prioritizes housing supply and choice in low, mid and high-rise forms, with carefully designed regulations to ensure that all kinds of housing are viable. It also broadly enables a mix of uses in all zones to bring more shops and services to all neighbourhoods, helps boost new small businesses, and creates more opportunities for innovation. Kitchener 2051 is exploring ways to apply lessons learned through Growing Together to other areas of the city outside of our Major Transit Station Areas. Page 122 of 187 How will Kitchener accommodate projected growth? Kitchener is forecasted to grow by approximately 150,000 residents and 57,000 new jobs by 2051. Prior to the early 2000s, the city focused on growing outwards in new suburbs. Starting in the early 2000s, City Planners created the "Kitchener Growth Management Strategy" to shape growth within the existing built-up area. This informed the City of Kitchener's 2014 Official Plan which focuses on new growth in "nodes" such as major intersections or commercial areas, and along "corridors" being streets served by transit. The City is exploring ways to complement this approach by allowing different types of housing growth and directing civic investment in other parts of the city. This will support more complete communities for current and future residents. Through community engagement, we have heard about important community values such as affordability, thoughtful & resilient growth, and mutual care & belonging. Through our technical analysis, we have learned that there are changes that we need to make to how and where we grow to foster complete communities, where residents are never far from places to pick up groceries, grab a coffee, or meet up with friends. Page 123 of 187 To enable us to assess different ways of distributing housing and job growth, the city undertook a modelling exercise to be able to evaluate three potential approaches to growth. Each approach includes the same core assumptions: Core Assumptions What does this mean? Maintain Growth within the . Growth to 2051 is planned within our existing urban Existing Urban Area Boundary area boundary. • Plan for new and more compact greenfield development, primarily within Southwest Kitchener. • Direct at least 60% of new growth to already built- up areas. Be Future Focused • Accommodate a future population of 450,000 residents by 2051. Plan for Change Across the City • Plan for change across the city's neighbourhoods in ways that support current and future residents by dispersing 5,000 units of future residential growth broadly throughout Kitchener's existing low-rise neighbourhoods. Greater Integration of Places, • Plan for significant growth within our Major Transit Systems, and Networks Station Areas by carrying forward the Growing Together planning framework. • Connect more people and jobs to mobility networks such as transit and complete streets. Conserve and Protect the Natural . Protect and enhance our natural areas including Heritage System greenspaces and waterways, by carrying forward the natural heritage and floodway mapping. Support Kitchener's Economy . Protect existing and plan for new jobs by assuming 15% growth in jobs within Kitchener's employment areas. • Foster economic development by supporting job growth outside of employment areas. Page 124 of 187 The following describes how each approach to growth was developed and its key features that make it unique. All three approaches would accommodate the same number of residents and jobs by 2051 and continue to protect important areas such as industrial parks, natural areas, and parks. ;Approach. What if your local retail strip plaza could be transformed into a neighbourhood hub? This would mean new buildings with more housing and jobs, new restaurants and shops, and more of the things you need and want, closer to where you live. It also means new public spaces for you to spend your time outside of your home or job, connect with your neighbours, and attend local events and celebrations. It means access to frequent and reliable public transit for new and existing residents that connects you to other neighbourhood hubs, downtown Kitchener, and beyond. You can easily connect to a network of bike routes and trails, for all ages and abilities. Key Fea Lu res This approach would: • Emphasize growth generally within the City's existing Mixed -Use Nodes & Corridors structure from the 2014 Official Plan. • Update development permissions within these Nodes & Corridors to promote more housing supply and choice, support a greater variety of uses, and better match what is being built today. • Continue to encourage low-density commercial properties to evolve overtime into higher -density neighbourhood focal points. Page 125 of 187 A MCIFO, PbpYLjj]jU",n and EITIployrnent Growth Page 126 of 187 (IIII�IIIIIIII����� "'�t��ii�ii�m1,11I What if you could spend time on a new main street in Stanley Park? And another in Country Hills? And one in Forest Heights? This approach brings new urban centres to different areas of the city. It is similar to the `Supporting Transit' approach but would concentrate more growth within a smaller number of specific locations. It means adding more housing and jobs around important existing amenities such as community centres and parks, so that more people have more equitable access to parks, libraries and community centres. It would focus investment in these amenities, benefiting everyone who uses them. It would help unlock tools for new affordable housing opportunities in more areas of Kitchener. Key Features This approach focuses on growth within new urban centres, generally at the intersections of: • Ottawa St. N. & River Rd. E. • Strasburg Rd. & Block Line Rd. • Highland Rd. W. & Fischer -Hallman Rd. These areas were chosen based partially on their capacity to grow, as well as their proximity to important community features such as parks, trails, frequent transit (e.g., Npress routes), schools, community centres and libraries. This approach also examines growth in transit -supportive neighborhoods on the periphery of Kitchener's Major Transit Station Areas, generally within Kitchener's central neighbourhoods north and west of the expressway and in growing main streets already seeing new mixed-use development, such as near Weber St. E. and Franklin St. N. Did you Iknow? The City is also completing a separate project to plan for a new community in god Southwest Kitchener, known as the Dundee Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan will provide a road map for new urban uses over the long-term such as homes, parks, natural areas, shops, and schools - connected by trails, transit, streets, and sustainable infrastructure. As part of the Dundee Secondary Plan, an additional new urban centre is being envisioned to benefit this growing part of Kitchener. Page 127 of 187 New UrbCentres Less Population and Employment, Grcmth 'MMM More Population and Emiployri'�& A Growth MIND Page 128 of 187 i Approach What if a diversity of homes, shops and services were found more evenly throughout Kitchener's neighbourhoods? This approach adds different types of homes, as well as jobs, shops and services to all areas of Kitchener, with rather than concentrating growth in specific centres or nodes. It means that all of Kitchener's neighbourhoods will add some more housing options for all types of families and all stages of life, making it possible to meet their needs within any neighbourhood they choose, and to stay their neighbourhood long term. It means future generations will have more equitable access to more homes across all neighbourhoods, but also a greater number of existing parks, schools, and community resources. Key Features This approach enables growth on properties within neighbourhoods where it can fit comfortably from a built -form perspective and without the need to assemble too many lots to make a new building happen. Examples include: • Allowing places of worship to develop with a mix of uses. These often have large surface parking lots and can offer opportunities to add affordable or supportive housing. • Small commercial plazas. • Wider and/or deeper residential lots that back onto parks, open spaces, natural areas, school grounds and other non-residential properties, which provide greater opportunities to achieve built -form transition.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to provide Committee and Council with the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy: Annual Monitoring Report 2024 (Monitoring Report). The Monitoring Report is an action item of the 2009 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS), which requires tracking of the general supply of land and the achievement of intensification and density targets on an annual basis. REPORT: The KGMS provides a long-term framework for planning where and how future residential and employment growth should occur in Kitchener. To ensure that growth contributes positively to the quality of life, the KGMS coordinates the provision of infrastructure and services with new development. The KGMS introduced a number of goals, one of which was to develop and facilitate an ongoing growth management program to manage growth -related change in an effective and co-ordinated manner (Goal 6). One of the action items of this goal is to prepare an annual monitoring report to track the supply of development opportunities and the achievement of intensification and density targets. Monitoring reports have been prepared since 2010. This is the 15th edition of the Monitoring Report and reflects the recent changes to Provincial legislation and to the Regional Official Plan (ROP) (i.e., ROP amendment 6). It includes statistics for Protected Major Transit Station Areas and other primary intensification areas that were established in Kitchener's 2014 Official Plan. This report also tracks progress towards the City of Kitchener's housing pledge that was approved in response to a request from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, on March 20, 2023 supporting the building of 35,000 homes in Kitchener by 2031. Highlights of the 2024 Monitoring Report are: Municipal Housing Targets • Kitchener's Housing Pledge is 35,000 new housing units between March 2023 and 2031. • Council approved development applications for 3,916 units in 2024, a cumulative total of 24,414 units have received Council approvals since 2022. • Building permits were issued for 2,558 units in 2024, accounting for a total of 8,846 units since 2022. • The Province's evaluation of the housing target is based on new housing and additional residential unit starts as provided by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the new or upgraded beds in long-term care homes as provided by the Ministry of Long -Term Care. Kitchener's annual housing starts target, under the Building Faster Fund is 2,917 for 2024. Although the Province is Page 132 of 187 yet to confirm housing starts for 2024, it appears that Kitchener has achieved at least approximately 95% of the provincially assigned 2024 housing starts target under the Building Faster Fund. • Kitchener has set the stage to achieve and potentially exceed its 2031 housing target through its planning approvals, efficient processes, investments in supporting infrastructure and updates to its planning framework. Residential Development Rates • The number of new dwelling units created in 2024 (2,558) is the second lowest figure in the last five years (2020-2024) after 2022 (2,303). This was expected given the state of not only the local but national and global economy. • 67% (1,715) of the new residential units in 2024 were in the form of multiple dwellings. This was a considerable decrease compared to that in 2023 of 77% (3,068) of the new residential units in the form of multiple dwellings. • 1,477 multiple dwelling units created in 2024 were in the form of low to mid rise multiple dwellings, representing about 58% of the total new units created. • 594 duplex dwelling units were created in 2024, higher than the last five year average of 500 duplex dwelling units. The number of triplex dwelling units has also increased from 29 units in 2023 to 40 units in 2024. • 22 permits were issued for Detached Additional Dwelling Units (also referred to as backyard homes) in 2024, a slight decrease compared to 2023 (27 permits) but indicating a steady increase in the last four years (2021-2024) since detached Additional Dwelling Units were first permitted in 2021. Development within Built Up Area and Designated Greenfield Area • Building permits issued for new residential units within the Designated Greenfield Area continue to provide a varied and balanced supply of dwelling types. • The number of multiple dwelling building permits issued in the Built -Up Area exceed those that were issued within the Designated Greenfield Area. This is expected as higher density multiple dwellings are focused within intensification areas (e.g., Protected Major Transit Station Areas, nodes, and corridors). • The residential intensification level (new residential construction that occurs within the Built-up Area) saw a dip in 2024 (57%). In contrast, the residential intensification level saw a spike in 2023 (69%). • The City's 5 -year average residential intensification level is 57%, which continues to be an indication that the City is on track to contribute towards, and in some years exceed, its intensification target of 60%. Urban Growth Centre (UGC) Density • The estimated density of the Urban Growth Centre (UGC) is 220 residents and jobs per hectare. Kitchener is on track to achieve the City's Official Plan minimum density target of 225 residents and jobs per hectare by 2031. Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA) Density • Of Kitchener's 10 PMTSAs, the Queen and Frederick PMTSA is currently estimated to have a density of 194 residents and jobs per hectare, exceeding its minimum density target of 160 residents and jobs per hectare. Page 133 of 187 • All of Kitchener's PMTSAs will be well positioned to achieve the prescribed minimum density targets based on the current or updated zoning through the Growing Together project. Capacity for Growth • The City continues to have the potential to accommodate its allocated employment growth to 2051 within its urban area. • With comprehensive updates to land uses and zoning within Kitchener's protected major transit station areas through Growing Together West and as of right permissions for 4 units in residential areas across Kitchener as well as future opportunities to accommodate growth through land use changes as part of Kitchener 2051: Kitchener's new Official Plan, and ongoing secondary planning work in the Dundee area of southwest Kitchener, there continues to be sufficient opportunities to accommodate planned residential growth to 2051.

Kitchener is expected and planned to accommodate a relatively significant amount of residential and employment growth by 2051. The City has also been assigned a housing target by the Province to achieve the building of 35,000 homes in Kitchener by 2031 - known as Kitchener's municipal housing pledge. As part of tracking progress on Kitchener's housing pledge, the Province requires municipal planning data to be reported on a quarterly and annual basis. Kitchener tracks and monitors specific growth data in a dynamic manner. A snapshot of the data is contained within this report. The results of the 2024 growth management data continue to be encouraging. Kitchener has set the stage to achieve and potentially exceed its 2031 housing target through its planning approvals, efficient processes, investments in supporting infrastructure and updating to our planning framework. Building these housing units falls primarily to the private sector. While the number of housing starts is yet to be confirmed by the Province, it appears that at least approximately 95% of the housing target was met in 2024. However, economic and market headwinds put the achievement of the City housing starts in the next couple of years in question. The number of residents and jobs per hectare (RJs/ha) in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown) is 220 RJs/ha, surpassing the provincially mandated minimum target of 200 RJs/ha by 2031, and approaching the City's higher Official Plan minimum target of 225 RJs/ha by 2031. Further, the estimated density of the Queen and Frederick Protected Major Transit Station Area is 194 RJs/ha, exceeding its density target of 160 RJs/ha. The City's 2024 intensification level and the 5 -year average intensification level is 57% indicating that the City is on track to contribute towards, and in some years exceed, the minimum intensification target of 60%. In 2024, building permits were issued for a total of 2,558 new residential units. 86% of new multiple dwelling units developed in 2024 were in the form of low to mid rise multiple dwellings - a substantial increase compared to that in 2023 (32%). Although the development of duplex dwelling units and detached ADUs has declined in 2024 compared to 2023, the development of triplexes has seen an increase. It is anticipated that the City's growth management program, including the strategy, framework and dynamic tracking and monitoring system, will be updated in future years to reflect changes to provincial legislation and the City's new Official Plan. 2 Page 136 of 187 CONTENTS Executive Summary....................................................................................... 2 1 Evolution of Growth Management............................................................... 5 2 Municipal Housing Target........................................................................... 7 2.1 Tracking Progress on Kitchener's Municipal Housing Target ...................... 7 2.1.1 Council Approved Units.................................................................. 7 2.1.2 Residential Development Rates ....................................................... 8 2.1.3 Provincial Evaluation of the Housing Target .................................... 10 3 Growth Forecasts & Targets..................................................................... 13 3.1 Intensification Targets....................................................................... 13 3.1.1 Intensification Level Progress........................................................ 14 3.2 Density Targets................................................................................ 17 3.2.1 Tracking Growth in Intensification Areas ......................................... 19 3.2.1.1 Existing Measures................................................................ 19 3.2.1.2 Capacity for New Growth ...................................................... 20 3.3 Estimated Land Supply...................................................................... 23 3.4 Population and Employment Allocation ................................................. 23 4 Conclusion.............................................................................................25 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.

The population of 100,000 was expected to more than double in 20 years. Kitchener proactively undertook and participated in several long-range studies aimed at guiding the future growth of Kitchener and the surrounding area. One of these studies from 1964 entitled, Kitchener 2000 - A Regional Concept, suggested an approach for a 'Staging of Development' program. It was thought that given the predicted rapid growth, a logical economic means for developing the city was needed that would closely relate to the financial ability of the City to provide infrastructure services for an area. Following work on a new Official Plan in 1968, annual Lot Levies Reports were prepared. This report coordinated the provision of engineering services with the timing of approving new subdivisions. At the time, the annual Council -approved report led the way as an effective tool for managing growth and after several years the process became known as the 'Staging of Development'. The Staging of Development paved the way for coordinating subdivision growth in Kitchener. It was nearly 30 or more years later that many other municipalities in Ontario implemented a formal staging program. As with all processes, the need to evolve arises. After 40 years, the growth management landscape significantly changed. Kitchener became part of a provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Regional Municipality of Waterloo (the Region) adopted a Regional Growth Management Strategy (RGMS). Social, environmental and economic objectives became more complex. These changes saw the Staging of Development program evolve and make way for the new Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS), along with its implementation tools. Approved by Kitchener Council in 2009, the KGMS provides a framework for planning where and how future residential and employment growth can be accommodated in Kitchener while positively contributing to the City's quality of life. The KGMS worked alongside the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 (the Growth Plan, 2006) which was in effect at that time and the RGMS. One of the goals (Goal 6) of the KGMS introduced an ongoing growth management program to manage growth - related change in an effective and coordinated manner. A biannual Kitchener Growth Management Plan (KGMP) and an annual Growth Management Monitoring Report (Monitoring Report) were identified as important components for the growth management program. The KGMP establishes priority levels for development and infrastructure projects for each growth area within the City. It includes the prioritization and allocation of resources towards completing initiatives that are required to move lands from the draft approval stage to registration, construction and developing complete communities. The Monitoring Report, historically, has tracked the supply of development, and the achievement of intensification and density targets for Kitchener. Monitoring Reports 5 Page 139 of 187 have been prepared and presented to Council and the development industry since 2010. The previous Monitoring Report iterations are available on the .��.ai.:ty's Girow tlh ...p .....g..ii:::..ii::::............l pa. ge. These Monitoring Reports have included a summary of Planning Act applications, residential development rates within the delineated Built- up Area (BUA) and the Designated Greenfield Area (DGA), and potential capacity to accommodate growth in the City. Kitchener has been on the leading edge with respect to the ability to track and monitor specific growth data in a dynamic manner. As part of Kitchener's ongoing growth management program the intent is to continually refine the data, improve the dynamic capabilities and provide information to help support numerous corporate studies and infrastructure projects. The Province implemented .irk.:taii"Ii............II .e..rAallatlioir� 323 I air liclip...IL............ IPII....lr:..ir:..li..ir..g............. II;; ..: . 1 :..p..rL.Jaru...q in April of 2023 and further amended it in January of 2025. The regulation complements the Province's initiative of developing standards and achieving consistency for the reporting of data required for development applications. The City of Kitchener is required, under this regulation, to report Planning Act application information on a quarterly basis and additional information on an annual basis. The City of Kitchener has submitted quarterly Planning Act application data to the Province for each quarter in 2024. The provincial legislation and the regional planning landscape have significantly changed in the last year. In May 2024, Bill 162, Get it Done Act reinstated modifications to Regional Official Plan Amendment 6 which included additional lands in southwest Kitchener to the urban area. A new Provincial Planning Statement (PPS), 2024 came into effect on October 20, 2024, integrating both the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020 (the Growth Plan, 2020). Further, the Region became an upper -tier municipality without planning responsibilities as of January 1, 2025. The Regional Municipality of Waterloo Official Plan (the Regional Official Plan) in effect is now deemed to be part of Kitchener's Official Plan as per Section 70.13 (2) of the Act, until the time City revokes or amends it to provide otherwise. These changes have and will continue to influence how the City plans, manages, and monitors growth. This is the 15th edition of the Monitoring Report and reflects the recent changes to provincial legislation and to the Regional Official Plan (ROP). It includes statistics for Protected Major Transit Station Areas and other primary intensification areas that were established in Kitchener's 2014 Official Plan. This report also tracks progress towards the City of Kitchener's .Ir::i..o u.:.liii.i.g........lp.11_ d. e that was approved in response to a request from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, on March 20, 2023 supporting the building of 35,000 homes in Kitchener by 2031. C. Page 140 of 187 2 MUNICIPAL HOUSING TARGET In October 2022, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing provided individual housing targets for 29 municipalities across Ontario and requested that each municipality submit a municipal housing pledge to the Province. 21 additional municipalities were assigned housing targets in 2023 as part of Ontario's plan to build at least 1.5 million homes by 2031. On March 20, 2023, the City of Kitchener approved aIh.ouu..j[in..g plledcle supporting the building of 35,000 homes in Kitchener by 2031. Further annual targets were assigned as each municipality's proportion of the overall 1.5 million housing goal and applying that proportion against province -wide annual targets. Table 1 summarizes the annual and overall housing target for Kitchener. These targets are independent from the intensification and density targets in the former Growth Plan and the new PPS. Table 1. Annual Housing Target for the City of Kitchener Province 110,000 125,000 150,000 175,000 1,500,000 City of Kitchener 2,567 2,917 3,500 4,083 35,000 Note - No housing targets have been assigned for 2022. However, the overall housing target of 35,000 for Kitchener is from 2022 to 2031. 2.1 TRACKING PROGRESS ON KITCHENER'S MUNICIPAL HOUSING TARGET 2.1.1 COUNCIL APPROVED UNITS Plan of subdivisions, Official Plan amendments, Zoning By-law amendments, and Part Lot Control applications require approval by Council. The number of units that are approved by Council indicate how many units are anticipated to be built in future years. It is important to note that there is a time lag between Council approval and actual development of units. The length of time it takes to get from Council approval to the start of construction varies dramatically and is highly influenced by market conditions. Figure 1 compares the municipal housing target with the number of units that Council has approved since 2022. In 2022, Council approved 37 applications with a total of 8,271 units. In 2023, Council approved 65 applications with a total of 12,227 units. In 2024, Council approved 55 applications with a total of 3,916 units. A cumulative 24,414 units have been approved since 2022. This accounts for approximately 70% of Kitchener's municipal housing target. 7 Page 141 of 187 Figure 1.

The development of single detached, semi-detached street townhouse and cluster townhouse dwellings has been steady since since 2023. The development of Page 142 of 187 townhouses (both street townhouse and cluster townhouse) has been low in the last two years. Although the development of duplex dwelling units and detached ADUs has declined in 2024 compared to 2023, it is still higher than the 5 -year average. The development of triplexes has seen an increase. 2024 has been slow for development of multiple dwellings compared to 2023 which a record year for the number of multiple dwelling units for which building permits were issued.

CMHC defines a housing start as the beginning of construction work on a building. This is usually when the concrete has been poured for the footings or basement. Figure 4 illustrates the number of new housing starts annually since 2010 and 5 year moving average. The trend generally follows the number of building permits that are issued in Kitchener. 10 Page 144 of 187 Figure 4.

These have not been reported and are not available for the years prior to 2022. Figure 5 illustrates new housing starts from 2010 to 2024, ARU starts and long-term care beds in 2022 to 2024, a 5 -year moving average of total units, and annual housing targets from 2023 to 2031. A multi-year average provides a better indication of progress towards the housing target. The compounded annual growth rate of the 5 -year moving average for a 5 year period (2010 to 2024) is 7%. Kitchener exceeded its 2023 assigned housing target by 39%. While the number of housing starts in 2024 is yet to be confirmed by the Province, it appears that at least approximately 95% of the assigned housing target was met in 2024. This indicates that Kitchener is on track to achieve and potentially exceed its assigned housing target and receive provincial Building Faster Fund. 11 Page 145 of 187 Figure S.

Figure 6 illustrates Kitchener's progress towards its provincially assigned housing target of 35,000 by 2031. Since 2022, Kitchener has seen a total of 9,293 units created, which includes new housing starts as reported by CMHC, additional residential units, and new or upgraded beds in long-term care homes. This represents approximately 26.5% of the housing target. 25,707 units are needed to meet the housing target by 2031, an average of approximately 3,672 units every year. Figure 6.

Figure 7 shows the Urban Area Boundary, the BUA, and the DGA for Kitchener. It should be noted that in May 2024, Bill 162, Get it Done Act reinstated modifications to the Regional Official Plan Amendment 6. This included an expansion of Kitchener's Urban Area Boundary and DGA. Figure 7 reflects these modifications. Figure 7. Urban Area Boundary, Built-up Area, and Designated Greenfield Area for Kitchener The Built-up Area (BUA) represents the lands that were developed with urban uses as of 2006 and does not change year over year. Lands within the BUA have been used to implement and measure minimum residential intensification targets. Intensification refers to the development of a property, site or area at a higher density than currently exists. The residential intensification targets have been a key component to create more compact development patterns, promote energy 13 Page 147 of 187 efficiency, provide a greater variety of housing options, and better integrate transit and land use planning. Kitchener's residential intensification targets have changed overtime since they were first introduced through the 2006 Growth Plan as a Region of Waterloo intensification target. Kitchener's current minimum residential intensification target, established through the Region's Official Plan amendment number 6 (ROPA 6), is 60%. It should be noted that the PPS 2024 does not carry forward the concepts of BUA, the DGA, and the Urban Growth Centre. Further, there are no minimum residential intensification targets established in the PPS 2024. Kitchener's current Official Plan includes these concepts. The PPS 2024 does not preclude planning authorities from establishing intensification targets. The intensification target as established through ROPA 6 is in effect. 3.1.1 INTENSIFICATION LEVEL PROGRESS Annual residential development rates by dwelling type in the BUA and DGA are indicated for 2023 and 2024 in Table 4. The intensification level in 2023 was 69% and in 2024 was 57%. The City expects to see "spike" (such as in 2023) and "dip" (such as in 2024) years with respect to intensification levels as the timing of multiple dwelling developments can affect the reported development rates in a given year for a municipality the size of Kitchener. As we have seen in recent years, when there is a substantial number of multiple dwelling units created in the BUA, the City's intensification level is higher. Table 4.

A multi-year average provides a better 14 Page 148 of 187 understanding, for growth monitoring purposes, of whether the City is on track to achieve the required intensification level.

Figure 9. 2024 Intensification Levels 16 Page 150 of 187 3.2 DENSITY TARGETS Kitchener's Official Plan establishes a density target of 55 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare for areas serving primarily a residential function and 40 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare for areas serving primarily an employment function within the Designated Greenfield Area (DGA). Designated greenfield area (DGA) are lands within the urban area but outside of delineated built- up areas that are designated for development and are required to accommodate forecasted growth. Through ROPA 6, the minimum DGA density target for Kitchener and the Region have been revised to 65 and 59 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare by 2051, respectively (Table 5). Table S. Minimum DGA Density Target, Kitchener and Region of Waterloo DGA Kitchener DGA Region of Waterloo 65 59 It is to be noted the PPS 2024 does not establish minimum density targets for DGA but rather encourages large and fast-growing municipalities, including Kitchener, to plan for a target of 50 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare in designated growth areas. Intensification areas are identified throughout the City in both the BUA and the DGA as key locations where growth is to be focused. Kitchener's primary intensification areas include the Urban Growth Centre (UGC), Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSA's), City Nodes, Community Nodes, and Urban Corridors. The Secondary intensification areas include Neighbourhood Nodes, Arterial Corridors and other site- specific opportunities. Figure 10 shows the primary and secondary intensification areas. 17 Page 151 of 187 Figure 10. Intensification Areas in Kitchener, Kitchener Official Plan 2014 The Growth Plan, 2020 provided a minimum density target of 200 residents and jobs combined per hectare to be achieved for Kitchener's UGC (Downtown) by 2031. Although the Regional Official Plan notes the same density for Kitchener's UGC (Downtown) as the Growth Plan, the Kitchener Official Plan sets a minimum density target of 225 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare. The PPS 2024 did not maintain the concept of an UGC and therefore does not establish a minimum density target for Kitchener's UGC. The Growth Plan, 2020 has further established a minimum density of 160 residents and jobs combined per hectare for PMTSA's that are served by light rail transit or bus rapid transit, as is the case in Kitchener. There is no timeline associated with density Page 152 of 187 targets for PMTSA's. The density targets established for PMTSA's are carried forward in the PPS 2024. ROPA 6 sets the same minimum target for all of the PMTSA's in Kitchener except for the Block Line PMTSA which is to achieve a minimum density target of 80 residents and jobs combined per hectare. Table 6 summarizes the minimum density targets established for the UGC and the PMTSA's in Kitchener. Table 6.

The non-residential floor area and job estimates have not been adjusted to account for changes in office and work from home trends brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Region has undertaken a workplace count survey in 2024 and it is expected that the results from this survey (unavailable at the time of writing this report) will inform updates to the non-residential floor area and job estimates that reflect pandemic related changes to employment. Interest in residential development has remained robust. The estimated density of the Urban Growth Centre (UGC), Queen and Frederick PMTSA, and Victoria Park and Kitchener City Hall PMTSA is 220 RJs/ha, 194 RJs/ha, and 137 RJs/ha respectively in 2024. The Queen and Frederick PMTSA has already met its density target of 160 RJs/ha. 19 Page 153 of 187 Table 7.

Boundary for the Urban Growth Centre overlaps with the boundary of the Central Station, Victoria Park and Kitchener City Hall, and the Queen plus Frederick PMTSA boundaries. Therefore, Urban Growth Centre data has not been included in the subtotal for primary intensification areas. 3.2.1.2 Capacity for New Growth Table 8 explores the estimated potential for accommodating new development within the primary intensification areas based on existing zoning only. The primary intensification areas are well positioned with the existing zoning in place to accommodate some of the projected growth in Kitchener. New development applications and land use/zoning reviews such as the Growing Together project and on-going secondary planning work will continue to refine the planning framework and add to the capacity to accommodate growth in these areas. 20 Page 154 of 187 Table 8. Additional Capacity Measures for Primary Intensification Areas 50% Scenario The maximum amount of development permitted in the as -of -right zoning represents the City's total capacity to accommodate growth given current planning tools. It is anticipated that only some parcels within intensification areas will be redeveloped within the short or medium term for a variety of reasons. Some parcels will be developed at lower densities than the maximum permitted by zoning. Still others will receive zoning by-law amendments to exceed these maximums. In order to account for these factors, this report evaluates 50% of the maximum permitted by zoning as a reasonable estimate or proxy of opportunities for growth. As -of -right zoning permissions do not include any changes to zoning proposed through Growing Together project as it is under appeal.

Additional capacity measures for MTSAs do not account as -of -right zoning permissions through the Growing Together project as it is under appeal. Table 9 provides an account of the total number of dwelling units, residents, non- residential floor area, jobs and density measure (residents and jobs per hectare) for the primary intensification areas within Kitchener's BUA and DGA. Given the additional opportunities for redevelopment, based on existing zoning, there is capacity and potential to accommodate more people and jobs within Kitchener's primary intensification areas. 21 Page 155 of 187 The UGC is well positioned to achieve its density target of 225 residents and jobs per hectare. Further, six (6) PMTSAs (Central Station, Victoria Park and Kitchener City Hall, Queen plus Frederick, Kitchener Market, Borden, and Block Line) are also well positioned to meet the prescribed minimum density targets based on the current zoning. However, four (4) PMTSAs (Grand River Hospital, Mill, Fairway, and Sportsworld) may not be able to achieve their prescribed density target of 160 residents and jobs per hectare. These estimates are based on current zoning and do not take into account the zoning framework for the PMTSAs through the Growing Together project. Growing Together West has been approved but is not yet in effect and at this time Council's consideration of updated land use and zoning for Growing Together East is expected in early Q2 2025. When new zoning regulations come into effect, the City will be well positioned to meet or exceed its minimum density targets for all of the PMTSAs. Other primary intensification areas do not have assigned density targets but add considerable population and employment to contribute to Kitchener's growth allocation. Table 9.

Additional capacity measures for MTSAs do not account as -of -right zoning permissions through the Growing Together project as it is under appeal. 22 Page 156 of 187 3.3 ESTIMATED LAND SUPPLY The estimated land supply for Kitchener is a total of the potential capacity within the primary or secondary intensification areas, and the potential supply from registered, draft approved and in -circulation subdivisions. As development moves from raw land through the development approvals stage and eventually to construction, the land supply estimates become more accurate. Table 10 illustrates that the City's land supply includes a potential capacity of approximately 45,810 dwelling units and 2.97 million square metres of non- residential floor space. The estimated supply of dwelling units and non-residential floor space is further anticipated to increase once zoning is updated based on land use/zoning reviews such as the Growing Together project comes into effect and on-going secondary planning work. Timing of development from the estimated supply of units, however, is influenced by many factors including infrastructure timing, landowner priorities and market forces. Table 10. Estimated Land Supply (capacity of lands within the urban area boundary) 3.4 POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT ALLOCATION A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020 (the Growth Plan, 2020) provided population and employment forecasts for all upper -tier and single -tier municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area (GGH). The growth forecasts are further allocated to area municipalities by the Region. The Region's and Kitchener's population and employment allocation as per Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 6 (ROPA 6), is identified in Table 11. Kitchener is forecast to grow to 409,200 people and 170,500 jobs by 2051 representing an increase of about 52 percent and 54 percent respectively between 2021 and 2051. Population and employment forecasts are being updated as part of City of Kitchener's new Official Plan. These forecasts will be used as the basis for planning and managing growth to 2051. Table 11. Population and Employment Forecasts Allocation Notes: 23 Page 157 of 187 2021 2051 2021 2051 City of Kitchener 269,100 409,200 111,000 170,500 Other Area Municipalities 347,900 513,800 191,000 299,500 Region of Waterloo 617,000 923,000 302,000 470,000 1. Population figures in this table show census -based population plus four percent under coverage. As such, it does not include university and college students who temporarily reside in the Region (either in student residences or other accommodation) to study at post -secondary institutions. 2. All population and employment in this table represent mid -year figures. Table 12 compares the current population and employment capacity with the population and employment allocations provided by the Region of Waterloo. Kitchener's 2024 mid -year population estimated by the Region is now 283,606 with approximately 2,700 more people than reported in mid -year 2023. Table 12 also estimates that the City has an existing supply/capacity of developable land to accommodate more jobs than the 2051 employment allocation by the Region. However, it shows that there is a shortfall with respect to 2051 population allocation by the Region. As previously discussed in this report, the estimated capacity for Kitchener is based on existing zoning. It does not include zoning updates anticipated through land use / zoning reviews such as the Growing Together West project (under appeal), Growth Together East (Council consideration expected early Q2 2025) and on-going secondary planning work. Further, this report is based on intensification areas established as per the 2014 Official Plan that uses a 2031 planning horizon. There is sufficient zoned capacity to meet the City's 2031 population forecast of 319,500. Additionally, updated planning permissions will occur as part of Kitchener's new Official Plan project: Kitchener 2051, and ongoing secondary planning work in the Dundee area of southwest Kitchener and Hidden Valley. This ongoing work will ensure that there are sufficient opportunities to accommodate planned residential growth within the urban area boundary to 2051. Table 12.

Unofficial interim population and employment estimate as of mid -year 2024, Region of Waterloo 24 Page 158 of 187 4 CONCLUSION Kitchener has set the stage to achieve and potentially exceed its 2031 housing target through its planning approvals, efficient processes, investments in supporting infrastructure and updating to our planning framework. Building these housing units falls primarily to the private sector. While the number of housing starts is yet to be confirmed by the Province, it appears that at least approximately 95% of the housing target was met in 2024. However, economic and market headwinds put the achievement of the City housing starts in the next couple of years in question. In 2024, building permits were issued for a total of 2,558 new residential units. A broad range of housing types have been developed in 2024 with 67% as multiple dwelling types (86% of multiple dwelling units were in the form of low to mid rise buildings - representing 58% of the total new units), and 33% in single -detached, semi-detached, townhouses, duplex, triplex and detached additional dwelling types. Although the development of duplex dwelling units and detached ADUs has declined in 2024 compared to 2023, the development of triplexes has seen an increase. The City's 2024 intensification level and the 5 -year average intensification level is 57% indicating that the City is on track to contribute towards, and in some years exceed, the minimum intensification target of 60%. The number of residents and jobs per hectare (RJs/ha) in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown) is 220 RJs/ha, surpassing the provincially mandated minimum target of 200 RJs/ha by 2031, and approaching the City's higher Official Plan minimum target of 225 RJs/ha by 2031. Further, the estimated density of the Queen and Frederick Protected Major Transit Station Area is 194 RJs/ha, exceeding its minimum density target of 160 RJs/ha. It is anticipated that the City's growth management program, including the strategy, framework and dynamic tracking and monitoring system, will be updated in future years to reflect: changes to provincial legislation; and, the City's new Official Plan. With updates to land uses and zoning within Kitchener's protected major transit station areas, land use reviews that will occur as part of Kitchener's new Official Plan, and ongoing secondary planning work in the Dundee area of southwest Kitchener and Hidden Valley, there continues to be sufficient opportunities to accommodate planned residential and employment growth to 2051. 25 Page 159 of 187 Staff Report J IKgc.;i' r� R Development Services Department www.kitchener.ca REPORT TO: Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee DATE OF MEETING: March 17, 2025 SUBMITTED BY: Rosa Bustamante, Director of Planning and Housing Policy / City Planner, 519-783-8929 Garett Stevenson, Director of Development and Housing Approvals, 519-783-8922 PREPARED BY: Rosa Bustamante, Director of Planning and Housing Policy / City Planner, 519-783-8929 Natalie Goss, Manager Policy & Research, 519-783-8933 Janine Oosterveld, Manager Customer Experience & Project Management, 519-783-8942 Garett Stevenson, Director of Development and Housing Approvals, 519-783-8922 WARD(S) INVOLVED: All DATE OF REPORT: March 3, 2025 REPORT NO.: DSD -2025-089 SUBJECT: Quarterly Report (Q1) - Planning and Housing Policy Division & Development and Housing Approvals Division - Significant Planning Applications, Policy Projects, Affordable Housing Projects, and Housing Pledge Update RECOMMENDATION: For information. REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: The purpose of this report is to provide an update of significant development applications, policy projects, affordable housing projects and significant projects to streamline and remove barriers as well as our housing pledge update. Not all work that is currently being undertaken by the Planning and Housing Policy, and Development and Housing Approvals Divisions is captured in this report, rather a snapshot of significant work is captured. Planning staff provide a quarterly update report every March, June, September, and December of each year of all current significant development applications. It is important to be providing greater transparency on significant development applications with the community and Council. The key findings of this report include: o Since signing the Housing Pledge in March 2023, Kitchener Council has approved Official Plan Amendment and/or Zoning By-law Amendment applications for projects which propose 15,386 dwelling units (43.96% of housing pledge), Planning staff have issued final site plan approval for 5,034 dwelling units and building staff have issued building permits for 5,432 dwelling units. o Five initiatives associated with the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) have received a Council decision: Growing Together, Inclusionary Zoning, Enabling 4 Units, the Affordable Rental and Co-op Housing Incentives Pilot Program, and endorsement of *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 160 of 187 the land transaction to donate a City -owned parcel at River Road and Ottawa Street North for affordable owner occupied units. The other four initiatives are underway with various milestones anticipated over the coming months. o The Affordable Rental and Co-op Housing Incentives Pilot Program has awarded $1.4 million in funding among five projects to date. o Extensive work continues to streamline development approvals, meet provincially mandated timelines and support excellent customer service with the current priority as site plan folder updates and preparation for the public portal. There are no financial implications with this report. Community engagement is undertaken for each development application and project, which varies for each. This report supports the delivery of core services. REPORT: Since December of 2021, Planning staff have provided a quarterly update report every March, June, September, and December of all current significant development applications. This report, and future quarterly reports, include the following: • Progress and next steps for Kitchener's Housing Accelerator Fund initiatives; • Progress and next steps for major planning policy projects; • A summary of development applications that include affordable housing; • Updates on significant initiatives to remove barriers and streamline processes to support the development of housing; • Housing Pledge reporting - Development application data required to be reported under a new Provincial regulation — Ontario Regulation 73/23 — Municipal Planning Data Reporting. It is important to be providing greater transparency on significant development applications with the community and Council. Attached to this report, the Significant Planning Applications Quarterly Report (Q1 2025) provides a summary of the current Planning applications under review at the time of the preparation of this report (Attachment A). The current significant development applications section includes Subdivision, Official Plan Amendment, and Zoning By-law Amendments that have not received final approval. These are the bulk of the applications that Planning staff consult with the community on an application specific basis. Significant development applications include property specific proposals as well as new greenfield communities (subdivisions). Additional details on the development applications can be found using the online mapping tool available at www.kitchener.ca/planningapplications. Kitchener's Housing Accelerator Fund Initiatives In November 2023 Kitchener was awarded $42.4 million, payable in 4 annual installments, as part of the Federal government's Housing Accelerator Fund to help deliver more affordable housing in our community. Nine action plan initiatives are part of Kitchener's Housing Accelerator Fund and they include the delivery of: • Growing Together West: planning framework updates in Kitchener's western protected major transit station areas; • Growing Together East: planning framework updates in Kitchener's eastern protected major transit station areas; • Growing Together West Inclusionary Zoning; • Affordable Housing Construction Offset on City -Owned Lands Incentive • Not -for -Profit Affordable Rental and Co-op Housing Incentive Pilot; • Enabling 4 Units — additional dwelling unit implementation; • Strategic land acquisition and supporting infrastructure; • A climate adaptation plan as an input into Kitchener's new Official Plan; and, • A housing needs assessment Page 161 of 187 Attachment B provides a description of each initiative, status, next steps and target completion. Major Planning Projects There are currently 12 planning projects underway or that have been recently completed spanning a wide range of topics. These include: • Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review • High Performance Development Standards • Housing for All implementation • Kitchener 2051 -New Official Plan • Review of Provincial legislation, policies and plans • Tree Conservation Tools Review • Urban Design Manual Review • Hidden Valley Secondary Plan • Growing Together (Major Transit Station Area) Planning Framework review — West MTSAs and East MTSAs • Dundee Secondary Plan • Inclusionary Zoning Attachment C provides a description of each project, status, next steps, and target completion. Development Applications — Affordable Housing With a strong focus on the housing crisis, this report also includes a summary of the 2025 current projects that include affordable housing, that are either under review, have received approvals this year to start construction or are under construction. To address provincial directives, streamline development approvals and support excellent customer service, the report also provides an update on significant process improvements underway in 2025 (Attachment D). Housing Pledge Reporting As part of the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022 (Bill 109), the Planning Act was amended to give the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing the authority to require municipalities to report information on planning matters (Section 64). On April 6 2023, the Province implemented Ontario Regulation 73/23 - Municipal Planning Data Reporting requiring Ontario's largest and fastest- growing municipalities, which includes the City of Kitchener, to report development application information on a quarterly basis (as per Schedule 2 of the regulation) and additional information on an annual basis (as per Schedule 3 of the regulation). In January 2025, the province amended Ontario Regulation 73/23 introducing new reporting requirements, including a new quarterly summary report (as per Schedule 4 of the regulation) which is required to be posted and maintained on a municipality's website for five years. The City's quarterly report data includes the following development application types: • Official Plan Amendments, • Zoning By-law Amendments, • Site Plan Applications, • Minor Variances, • Land Severances (Consents), • Plan of Subdivisions, • Plan of Condominiums, • Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator Orders, and • Minister's Zoning Orders The report data must include the following: • application identifiers (application ID and address); Page 162 of 187 application details, as applicable (date application submitted, date application deemed complete, application status, date of withdrawal, date of decision, date of adoption/passing, date of registration, number of suggested future residential units/lots); heritage information for the subject property as applicable (listed under section 27 (3) of the Ontario Heritage Act, designated to be of cultural heritage value or interest, subject to easement or covenant under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act, within a heritage conservation district area); and, appeal information if applicable (third party appeal, type of appeal, date of appeal, date of appeal decision). The data gathered by the Province is being used to measure progress towards various Housing Supply Action Plan commitments and will also provide the information needed to support informed, evidence -based decisions around housing and planning policy. The regulation also complements the Province's initiative of developing standards and achieving consistency for exchange of data required for development applications. The City of Kitchener has submitted quarterly development application data to the Province since June 2023. The Q4 2024 quarterly planning data reports to the Province are attached to this report (Attachment E). On an annual basis, each year by March 31 It, Kitchener is required to report geospatial data for the following areas: • Strategic Growth Areas • Employment Areas • Employment Area conversions • Major Transit Station Area boundaries • Settlement Area boundaries, and • Designated Serviced Land Supply This information will be submitted to the Province as required and new reporting requirements will be reflected in quarterly and annual reports for 2025. 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 posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the Council / Committee meeting. CONSULT — Significant development application specific engagements are undertaken for Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law, and Subdivision applications. Engagement includes mailing postcards to property owners and occupants of all buildings within 240 metres of the subject lands, publishing a newspaper notice when the application is first circulated and when the statutory public meeting is scheduled, as well as informal community meetings including Neighbourhood Meetings and/or site walks. A large plain language sign is also posted on the property. Page 163 of 187 For planning policy projects, community engagement plans are developed and implemented to ensure fulsome, tailored engagement occurs early and throughout each project at a level commensurate with the scope of the project.
