REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:
The purpose of this report is to review a Consent Application to sever a new Semi-
Detached Duplex Dwelling into two lots so that each unit may be dealt with
independently
The key finding of this report is that the Consent Application is consistent with the
Provincial Planning Statement, the Region of Waterloo Official Plan, City Official Plan
and is good planning and in the public interest.
There are no financial implications.
Community engagement included a notice sign being placed on the property advising
that a Committee of Adjustment application has been received, notice of the
application was mailed to all Owners within 30 metres of the subject property and this
of Adjustment meeting.
This report supports the delivery of core services.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located in the Vanier Neighborhood south of Kingsway Drive near
to the intersection of Stirling Avenue South and west of Fairway Road South.

-By-law 2019-
051.
The subject lot was created through two previous severances: the severance of 151 Fifth
Avenue in 2018 and the severance of 285 Connaught Street in 2020. Following these
severances, the property remained vacant until 2025, when an application was submitted
for the construction of a new Semi-Detached Duplex Dwelling.
A Building Permit has been issued for the Semi-Detached Duplex Dwelling and
construction is currently underway. The foundation has been poured, the backfilling is
completed;and the framing construction is underway.
It is noted that although the foundation has been poured, and the proposed setbacks of
the Semi-Detached Duplex Dwelling were based on an original survey of the property, a
Reference Plan and Building Location Survey were not provided and submitted with the
Consent Application. Typically, best practices dictate that prior to the Consent of a
property proposed to contain an attached dwelling, the foundation is to be set and
surveyed so as to accurately capture the new lot line as constructed. The Applicant is
submitting this application with confidence that the foundation will coincide with the
proposed lot dimensions and setbacks, no maintenance easements are necessary and is
proceeding with the application at this time . The following condition is
recommended to be added to as follows:
That the Owner provide a Reference Plan and a Building Location Survey, prepared
by an Ontario Land Surveyor, to confirm the boundaries of the new lots and that the
location of the foundation and setbacks, with respect to the proposed new lot lines,
conforms with the Zoning By-law to the satisfaction of the Manager, Development
Approvals. Failure to comply with the Zoning By-law may result in additional
Committe
Should the common wall of the foundation not be located on the common lot line, or the lot
widths and/or setbacks of the building/dwelling do not meet zoning requirements, the
Applicant will be required to rectify and/or submit Committee of Adjustment Applications to
resolve the errors and/or deficiencies at their own expense.
The purpose of the current application is to request consent to sever the lot in order to
create two separate parcels, allowing each half of the semi-detached duplex dwelling to be
on its own lot and to function independently.
The proposed severed lot would have a lot width of 7.6 metres, a lot depth of 34.4 metres,
and a total area of 262.1 square metres. The retained lot would have the same dimensions
and area, as the division is proposed through the centre of the newly constructed
Semi-Detached Duplex Dwelling. The entire semi-detached duplex is being constructed on
the existing lot, and each dwelling unit has been designed to correspond to one of the
newly proposed lots.

REPORT:
Planning Comments:
In considering all the relevant Provincial legislation, Regional and City policies and
regulations, Planning staff offer the following comments:
Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024)
The Provincial Planning Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial
interest related to land use planning and development. Section 2.2.1 of the PPS promotes
providing an appropriate range and mix of housing options and densities to meet projected
needs of current and future residents, and sets out a policy framework for sustainable
healthy, liveable, and safe communities. The PPS promotes all housing options required to
meet the social, health, economic and well being requirements of current and future
residents, and all types of residential intensification while promoting densities for new
housing which efficiently use land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities. It
also supports the use of active transportation and requiring transit supportive
development.
Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed application will facilitate a form of gentle
intensification of the subject property with the creation of two new lots for the new semi-
detached duplex dwelling that are compatible with the surrounding community and will
make use of the existing infrastructure. No new public roads would be required for the
proposed development. Therefore, Staff are of the opinion that this proposal is consistent
with the PPS.
Regional Official Plan (ROP):
The Region of Waterloo is an upper-tier municipality without planning responsibilities. The
responsibilities from upper-tier governments across the Province, including the Region of
Waterloo to local municipalities. The Region is responsible for commenting on the
infrastructure and service delivery that the Region of Waterloo delivers to the community,
such as Public Health and Paramedic Services, Affordable Housing, source water
protection, water and wastewater infrastructure, transit and transportation, waste
management, and the Region of Waterloo International Airport. As a result, the Region no
longer has a ROP as it is now an Official Plan for area municipalities who are responsible
for implementation of the ROP until it is repealed through a future Area Municipal planning
exercise.
within the Urban Area. The subject lands are designated Built-Up Area in the ROP. The
proposed development conforms to Policy 2.D.1 of the ROP as this neighbourhood
provides for the physical infrastructure and community infrastructure to support the
proposed residential development, including transportation networks, municipal drinking-
water supply and wastewater systems, and a broad range of social and public health
services. Regional policies require Municipalities to plan for a range of housing in terms of
form, tenure, density and affordability to satisfy the various physical, social, economic and
personal support needs of current and future residents. Planning staff are of the opinion
that the severance application conforms to the Regional Official Plan.
City
Urban Structure and is
Section 17.E.20.5 of the Official Plan implements Section 51 of the Planning Act and
contains policies regarding infill development and lot creation (Consent Policies).These
policies state the following:
Applications for consent to create new lots will only be granted where:
a) the lots comply with the policies of this Plan, any Community Plan
and/or Secondary Plan, and that the lots are in conformity with the
Zoning By-law, or a minor variance has been granted to correct any
deficiencies;
b) the lots reflect the general scale and character of the established
development pattern of surrounding lands by taking into consideration
lot frontages, areas, and configurations;
c) all of the criteria for plan of subdivision are given due consideration;
d) the lot will have frontage on a public street;
e) municipal water services are available;
f) municipal sanitary services are available except in accordance with
Policy 14.C.1.19;
g) a Plan of Subdivision or Condominium has been deemed not to be
necessary for proper and orderly development; and,
h) the lot(s) will not restrict the ultimate development of adjacent

-4 Planning staff is of the opinion
that the size, dimension and shape of the proposed lots are suitable for the use of the
lands and compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood which is developed with low
rise residential uses with lot sizes that vary in width, depth, and area. The subject lands
front onto a public street and full services are available. There are no natural heritage
features that would be impacted by the proposed Consent Application.
Planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed consent conforms with the City of
Kitchener Official Plan.
Zoning By-law 2019-051
our Zone (RES-4-law 2019-

single detached, semi-detached and multiple dwellings. The whole of the Semi-Detached
Duplex D-4Zone requirements, and each half of the Semi-
Detached Duplex Dwelling will comply as well.
Planning Conclusions/Comments:
With respect to the criteria for the subdivision of land listed in Section 51(24) of the
Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, staff is satisfied that the creation of the severed lots are
desirable and appropriate. Planning staff is of the opinion that the size, dimension and
shape of the proposed lots are suitable for the use of the lands and compatible with the
surrounding community. There are existing schools within the neighbourhood. Staff is
further of the opinion that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement
the Region of Waterloo Official Plan, City Official Plan and is good planning and in the
public interest.
Environmental Planning Comments:
No natural heritage comments or concerns.
Heritage Planning Comments:
No heritage comments or concerns.
Building Services Comments:
The Building Division has no objections to the proposed consent.
Engineering Services Comments:
The Region is currently updating the Water Supply Strategy. Through this work, concerns
have been identified regarding water servicing capacity within the Mannheim Service Area.
Regional staff are currently undertaking work to better understand the magnitude of the
concerns and to be able to provide you with comments relating to the availability of sufficient
water capacity to service the development. The Region of Waterloo is responsible for water
treatment and supply and provides treated drinking water to the area municipalities, and the
The City of Kitchener is responsible for, and legally obligated to, accept and review all
development applications within prescribed timeframes, as outlined by legislation. The City
while
City will leverage all the tools available through the Planning Act like the use of a holding
provision to support reasonable and responsible development in Kitchener. Off-site work
permits may be required as a condition of a development approval to facilitate work in the
City's right-of-way for future utility connections (water, wastewater).
Notwithstanding this approval under the Planning Act, at this time, staff are not
entering into any off-site works permits as they relate to water services connections.
The Region of Waterloo has committed to updating the community as more information
becomes available. You can
www.regionofwaterloo.ca/watercapacity.
Severance of any blocks within the subject lands will require separate, individual
service connections for sanitary, storm and water, in accordance with City policies.
The owner is required to make satisfactory financial arrangements with the
Engineering Division for the installation of new service connections that may be
required to service this property, all prior to severance approval. Our records indicate
sanitary and water municipal services are currently available to service this property.
Any further enquiries in this regard should be directed to PM
(katie.wood@kitchener.ca).
A storm service is not available to the property. The Owner shall implement a suitable
design solution for a sump pump outlet to the satisfaction of the Director of
Engineering.
Any new driveways are to be built to City of Kitchener standards.All works are at the
building. A servicing plan showing outlets to the municipal servicing system will be
required to the satisfaction of the Engineering Division prior to severance approval.
A Development Asset Drawing (digital AutoCAD) is required for the new municipal
infrastructure with corresponding layer names and asset information to the satisfaction
of the Engineering Division prior to severance approval.
The owner must ensure that the basement elevation of the building can be drained by
gravity to the municipal sanitary sewer. If basement finished floor elevations do not
allow for gravity drainage to the existing municipal sanitary system, the owner will
have to pump the sewage to achieve gravity drainage from the property line to the
municipal sanitary sewer in the right of way.
Parks Planning/Forestry Comments:
Cash-in-lieu of park land dedication will be required at the time of severance for the
severed parcel as 1 new development lot will be created. The cash-in-lieu
dedication required is $11,862.00. Park Dedication is calculated at 5% of the new
development lot only, with a land valuation calculated by the lineal frontage of 7.62 m
and a land value of $36,080 per frontage meter, which equals $13,746.00. In this case, a
per dwelling unit cap of $11,862.00 has been applied.
Please note that there are multiple existing City-owned street trees within the right-of-
way on Fifth Avenue. The trees could be impacted by proposed construction activities. It
is expected that all City owned tree assets will be fully protected to City
standards throughout demolition and construction as per Chapter 690 of the current
Property Maintenance By-law.
Transportation (Planning) Services Comments:
Transportation Services have no concerns with this application.
Region of Waterloo Comments:
The owner/applicant is proposing consent to sever to create a new residential lot. The
severance will facilitate the redevelopment of a currently vacant lot with a semi-detached
duplex, each containing an additional dwelling unit for a total of 4 units. The subject lands
are currently connected to municipal water and waste services, with access to a local
road. Minor variance applications are not required to facilitate the consent.
The proposed lot configurations are as follows:
