BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located to the west of Highland Road East on the intersection of
StirlingAvenue Southand Lorne Crescent.
Urban Structure and
Land Use in the Ci
--law 2019-
051.
Figure 1: Location Map
Figure 2: Zoning Map
The purpose of this application is to recognize a sunroom addition constructed at the front
of a detached dwelling. While the owner was in the process of obtaining Building Permit
#25 112678 to legalize the sunroom addition, it was determined that variances were
required for both the front and interior side yard setbacks.
The property is located within an Established Neighbourhood Area, where front yard
setbacks are regulated based on the context of surrounding properties. In the case of a
corner lot, such as this one, the "Established Front Yard" is defined as the front yard of the
abutting lot within a low-rise residential zone, oriented toward the same street.
Based on this definition, the required minimum front yard setback for the subject property
shall be the established front yard minus one metre, which in this case is 3.7 metres.
However, the constructed sunroom has a front yard setback of 1.8 metres and an interior
side yard setback of 1 metre from the south side lot line, thereby requiring the requested
variances.

REPORT:
Planning Comments:
In considering the four tests for the minor variances as outlined in Section 45(1) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O, 1990 Chap. P 13, as amended, Planning staff offers the following
comments:
General Intent of the Official Plan
T Land Use. This
designation places emphasis on the compatibility of building form with respect to massing,
scale, and design in order to support the successful integration of different housing types.
It also emphasizes the relationship of housing to adjacent buildings, streets, and exterior
areas.
The use of the property for a detached dwelling conforms with the land use designation.
The proposed addition is one storey with windows all over, which does not create a large
massing or scale. Accordingly, the variance to facilitate the sunroom addition meets the
general intent of the Official Plan.
General Intent of the Zoning By-law
The intent of Section 7.3, Table 7-2 of the Zoning By-law, is to ensure that the built form of
residential dwellings is compatible with the lot size and the character of the surrounding
neighbourhood. These regulations help maintain a consistent and functional urban
environment by guiding the placement and scale of buildings.
The purpose of the Established Front Yard provision is to promote a unified and
harmonious streetscape. This is particularly important in established neighbourhoods,
where the rhythm and alignment of building setbacks contribute significantly to the visual
character and overall quality of the area.
The purpose and intent of the interior side yard setback is to preserve adequate
separation between buildings. This separation supports privacy, access for maintenance,
and appropriate spacing between windows, contributing to both livability and
neighbourhood compatibility.
The proposed sunroom addition is a modest, single-storey structure located at the front of
the dwelling. It features all sides of glazing on the front façade, which reduces the
apparent massing and visual impact of the addition as per Figure 6. The transparent
design allows the structure to function and appear more like an enclosed front porch,
helping it integrate seamlessly into the existing streetscape.
Despite the reduced setbacks, the sunroom maintains the openness and character of the
front yard and does not have any adverse impacts on adjacent properties. Its scale,
design, and placement are respectful of the neighbourhood context and align with the
broader intent of the zoning regulations.
Figure 6: A side picture of the sunroom
Is/Are the Effects of the Variance(s) Minor?
The sunroom is a single-storey addition with a lightweight appearance due to its extensive
glazing. This design minimizes the visual impact and massing typically associated with
front-yard encroachments. The addition enhances the usability of the dwelling without
introducing a massing overdevelopment. It remains subordinate to the main structure that
appears similar to a platformthe requested
variances for the front yard setback (from 3.7 metres to 1.8 metres) and the interior side
yard setback (from the required 1.2 metres to 1 metre) are considered minor.
Is/Are the Variance(s) Desirable For The Appropriate Development or Use of the Land,
Building and/or Structure?
The reduced setbacks do not result in any significant adverse effects related to privacy,
access, or shadowing. The sunroom does not obstruct views or limit the enjoyment of
neighbouring yards. Planning staff is of the opinion that the variance to reduce the
minimum front yard and side yard setback is appropriate for the desirable development
and use of the lands, as it will facilitate additional living space for the family in the
detached dwelling.
Environmental Planning Comments:
No comments.
Heritage Planning Comments:
No Heritage comments or concerns.
Building Division Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed variance provided a building permit
for the sunroom addition is obtained prior to construction. Please contact the Building
Division at building@kitchener.ca with any questions.
Engineering Division Comments:
No concerns.
Parks and Cemeteries/Forestry Division Comments:
No concerns, no requirements.
Transportation Planning Comments:
Transportation Services has no concerns with this application. Based on scaling the
provided drawing, the proposed building does not encroach into the Corner Visibility
Triangle.
The owner of the dwelling should be aware that per section 4.5.a) of the Cit
Plan, the 7 x 7 metre Corner Visibility Triangle (CVT)
South and Lorne Avenue frontage should not have any impediments that obstruct driver
visibility (such as vegetation) that is more than 0.9 metres in height.
Region of Waterloo comments:
No concerns.
Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) Comments:
GRCA has no objection to the approval of the above applications. The subject
properties do not contain any natural hazards such as watercourses, floodplains,
shorelines, wetlands, or valley slopes. The properties are not subject to Ontario
Regulation 41/24 and, therefore, a permission from GRCA is not required.
Six Nations of the Grand River Environmental Comments:
Advisory Comments:
Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) Territory is within the most highly urbanized land in
Canada. Development has occurred on Six
consultation or consent of SNGR. The cumulative effects of this intense development has
contributed to significant environmental degradation, and as a result, Six Nations has
experienced severe impacts on its ability to exercise Aboriginal and Treaty Rights that are
not only set out in the treaties themselves but are also recognized and affirmed in Section
35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. These treaty lands are subject to unresolved litigation and
any infringement upon our treaty rights must be fully mitigated by the proponent. The 1701
perpetuity, but this proposal undermines those rights. SNGR must be accommodated to
mitigate any harm to its treaty rights caused by the proponent.
Bird and Light Friendly Design
SNGREC requests that the building is designed using bird and light-friendly practices. This
includes minimizing reflective surfaces, creating visual barriers on windows, and directing
light downwards. Large windows are shown on the sunroom in Figures 2 and 3. Please treat
these windows to minimize bird kills. bird friendly practices
for glass and for lighting as guidelines and implement them thoroughly across the entire
design:

Subject:SNGREC Environmental Comments for Sept 16 Committee of Adjustments
Date:Monday, August 25, 2025 11:58:56 AM
Attachments:image.png
Sekon (Hello),
Included are my environmental comments on behalf of Six Nations of the Grand River Elected
Council (SNGREC) regarding all applications included for the Sept 16 Kitchener Committee of
Adjustments.
The following Preamble applies to all applications:
Haldimand Tract and 1701 Nanfan Treaty Preamble
Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) Territory is within the most highly urbanized land in
Canada. Development has occurred on Six Nations’ traditional territory without consultation or
consent of SNGR. The cumulative effects of this intense development has contributed to
significant environmental degradation and, as a result, Six Nations has experienced severe
impacts on its ability to exercise Aboriginal and Treaty Rights that are not only set out in the
treaties themselves but are also recognized and affirmed in Section 35 of the Constitution Act,
1982. These treaty lands are subject to unresolved litigation and any infringement upon our
treaty rights must be fully mitigated by the proponent. The 1701 Nanfan Treaty guarantees
SNGR’s right to harvest and hunt on this property for perpetuity, but this proposal undermines
those rights. SNGR must be accommodated to mitigate any harm to its treaty rights caused by
the proponent.

Treaty Rights Compensation
As this development will essentially ensure that this land will never be returned to a
natural state, SNGREC requests that this development be paired with compensation for impacts
to Six Nations Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and to the environment. SNGREC requests that these
compensations come in the forms of affordable units, dedicated units for First Nations people,
and environmental enhancements. Please reach to plan a meeting to collaborate on determining
compensation.
Landscaping
SNGREC requests that only native plant species are used in landscaping efforts. Please
provide SNGREC with a landscape plant list before procurement begins. SNGREC requests that
the proponent uses Kayanase Plant Nursery for procurement of plants if Kayanase’s capacity
allows.
4438 King Street East & 65 Gateway Park Drive.
Treaty Rights Compensation
As this development will result in a large amount of emissions and waste through
demolition and paving, SNGREC requests that this development be paired with compensation
for impacts to Six Nations Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and to the environment. SNGREC
requests compensation in the form of offsite environmental enhancements. Please reach out to
lrlust@sixnations.ca to collaborate on determining compensation.
535 Stirling Ave. S.
Bird and Light Friendly Design
SNGREC requests that the building is designed using bird and light friendly practices. This
includes minimizing reflective surfaces, creating visual markers on windows, and directing light
downwards. Large windows are shown on the sunroom in Figures 2 and 3. Please treat these
windows to minimize bird kills.
Please see the City of Toronto’s bird friendly practices for glass and for lighting as
guidelines and implement them thoroughly across the entire design:

Glass.pdf
184 Woolwich St.
Environmental Impact Study (EIS)
SNGREC requests an EIS for this property to evaluate downslope impacts and impacts to
the wetland on the property (as identified via GRCA mapping). SNGREC believes that this should
have been required before tree clearing on the property, and thus requests enhanced
environmental compensation from the proponent for this development. This requirement could
be solved by sufficient environmental compensation such as habitat creation and construction
of artificial habitat structures (i.e. bat boxes).
Tree Replacement
SNGREC requests a 10:1 tree replacement ratio for all trees removed regardless of DBH
and 1:1 for any dead trees/snags removed as these are an important habitat feature. A high tree
replacement ratio helps to restore lost ecological function and considers time for regrowth and
reduced survivability due to deer browsing and tree die-off. The goal of an increased tree
replacement ratio is also to create habitat and strengthen ecological resilience. On this site, this
would include trees removed before approval of this application. If accurate tree counts are not
already recorded, SNGREC will accept a liberal estimate (higher count). SNGREC acknowledges
that this site would not fit this level of tree replacement and thus requests offsite tree planting.
Further, the higher tree replacement ratio better compensates for the long lasting,
permanent impact of the development that will no longer be able to be used by Indigenous
people. The removal of or damage to the natural environment has an immense negative impact
to Six Nations of the Grand River Aboriginal and Treaty Rights in this area. Planting additional
trees and improving the environment helps make up for the negative impacts from development
on these rights.
Planted trees must be site-specific native species and should be planted as close to the
site as possible without impacting existing features and ecosystems, as should any future
landscaping species be native species.
Please consider planting plugs or other earlier-growth trees to help increase the feasibility
of planting additional trees. SNGREC requires planting best practices are used and suggests
collaboration with Kayanase Plant Nursery for recommendations and guidance.
Please be advised, if tree offset is not feasible onsite, SNGREC expects offset plantings to
take place as close as reasonably possible to the impacted site. SNGREC encourages
collaboration with the Grand River Conservation Authority, City of Kitchener, Region of Waterloo,
or RARE to achieve these offset plantings. Lastly, the Six Nations of the Grand River
Environmental Levy may be considered should closer sites be unavailable. SNGREC expects that
the tree replacement is paired with a robust and complete monitoring and maintenance plan
complete with contingency actions to ensure successful establishment of the trees for long term
success.
Wetland Buffer Encroachment
SNGREC requests that any encroachment into the wetland buffer (as shown for the
proposed driveway) is compensation for with enhancement or creation of wetlands.
To minimize the required compensation, SNGREC suggests changing the driveway
location to fit closer to the north edge of the lot and to have the garage and parking on the north
side of the property.
Landscaping
SNGREC requests that only native plant species are used in landscaping efforts. Please
provide SNGREC with a landscape plant list before procurement begins. SNGREC requests that
the proponent uses Kayanase Plant Nursery for procurement of plants if Kayanase’s capacity
allows.
Bird and Light Friendly Design
SNGREC requests that the building is designed using bird and light friendly practices. This
includes minimizing reflective surfaces, creating visual markers on windows, and directing light
downwards.
