It was noted in the report that City Council at its meeting of July 3, 2001 had authorized an appeal to be filed by staff if warranted given Council’s previous position in respect to such development charges.

In this regard, it was noted that City Council previously approved funding a joint venture with the Downtown Business Association and that $20,000 had been set aside by each party for this purpose. It was noted in the report that the kiosks have two functions; firstly, to provide a business directory and map of business locations in the downtown and; secondly, to provide space for the announcement of Kitchener special events.

The purpose of the report is to recommend revised wording with respect to the plan as it relates to the façade / interior improvement loan program. The revised wording is intended to eliminate confusion as to loan eligibility. Mr. B.

The Committee was also in receipt of Development and Technical Services report BPS-01-119 dated August 13, 2001 circulated this date which was prepared as an addendum to the recommendations in report BPS-01-095. The proposed changes in this report address outstanding and new concerns arising from the proposed new Commercial Policy structure and associated changes to the C-8 zone. All of the changes are site specific in nature and do not affect the fundamental shift in the Commercial Policy structure. The proposed new Commercial Policy structure intent is to create a balanced application of commercial areas throughout the City, within identified nodes and corridors and provides for a full range of retail and other commercial uses in appropriate locations in a non-hierarchial manner with the built form being the primary defining feature of each type of district listed below: · Primary Node · Mixed Use Node · Mixed Use Corridor · Planned Commercial Campus · Neighbourhood Mixed Use Centre · Arterial Commercial Corridor Councillor J.

Masseo presented the staff reports and circulated a list of additional minor revisions for consideration. He then provided background to the 3 year Commercial Policy Review Study process and referred to the involvement of the working group listed in the staff report who assisted in the development of new policy framework. Mr. Masseo reviewed the proposed new designations and described the consultation process from the point of a draft document being tabled in January 2001 to which no responses in opposition to the new direction were received. He described the future zoning implementation process and proposed changes to the C-8 zone and advised that subsequent to report BPS-01-095, a number of requests had been received and are addressed in the addendum report. He then reviewed these requests as put forward on behalf of their clients by Messrs. R. Hardie, P. Britton, W. Green, P. Dietrich and T. McCabe and indicated the action taken by staff in response to each request, many of which are the subject of revised recommendations. Mr. Masseo responded to Councillor J. Ziegler respecting several questions pertaining to the Voisin foodstore as to a holding provision, range of uses and the definition of large and small retail. Mr. Masseo referenced a letter dated April 10, 2001 from CN expressing objection to the Municipal Plan Amendment because it did not address rail corridors. He advised that he responded to CN by letter outlining existing Policies. He also noted that fax correspondence was just received from Canadian Tire Real Estate expressing concern with regard to the proposed ‘Mixed Use Node’ designation and that he would deal with this matter prior to the August 27, 2001 Council meeting. Councillor B. Vrbanovic entered the meeting. Councillor G. Lorentz questioned the practice of including parking within Hydro corridors as part of the parking requirements of developments and Mr. Masseo advised that hydro would not allow any registered agreements in perpetuity. He suggested staff could be directed to look into this issue in more detail. Ms. C. Ladd noted that it was intended to review parking arrangements at Fairview Mall and that staff would like to obtain general information as to what is intended on Voisin lands and Hydro’s requirements. Councillor J. Ziegler commented that Fairview Mall has been open for 35 years and no problems have been experienced with hydro; however, Ms. Ladd indicated that staff had a concern about this issue in view of the privatization of hydro.

He also advised that Mr. Steve Kay has similar concerns respecting his property at 177 Victoria Street North. Ms. C. Ladd responded that the zoning likely would change to implement any new policy structure but that a public process would apply to any proposed changes. In response to Mayor C. Zehr, Mr. L. Masseo noted it was clear to staff but it was agreed reference to ‘retail and commercial uses’ could be addressed under Section 4.3 Mixed Use Corridor designation. Mr. Hermsen also appeared in regard to 560 Queen Street South to express concern regarding the maximum floor space ratio which is currently 4. Mr. Masseo noted that the implementing zoning by-law would be consistent and that that there was nothing to suggest it would be reduced. Mr. Hermsen commented that the owner wants to maintain existing zoning but that the amendment creates uncertainty in this regard. Mr. Paul Dietrich, Wright Dietrich, appeared on behalf of Voisin Developments Limited advising that he supported the new Municipal Plan Policies and distributed a submission requesting several by-law revisions with respect to additional uses, gross floor area, development timing and a related holding provision between Voisin Developments and Max Becker Enterprises Limited, revision to subsection 16 to reflect new wording provided by the Region and parking being permitted on his clients lands and on the HEPC lands.

Mr. Paul Puopolo, Planning Initiatives Limited, appeared to express concern over the proposal as it relates to the firm’s office property on Queen Street South and to advise of support for the proposals as it relates to the Tulane property. Mr. T. McCabe, Green Scheels Pidgeon Planning Consultants Limited, appeared on behalf of three clients and circulated a submission dated August 13, 2001.

Mr. W. Thompson appeared representing the Pinegrove Neighbourhood Association and to comment with the general approval of three other neighbourhood associations. He noted that the new policies should help the downtown but expressed concern that the planning process had ignored adjacent residential areas as there had been no consultation. He commented that the notices given with respect to these matters were not clear to the average person and that it was difficult for them to understand the issues. Mr. Thomson’s concern was that the proposals allow for increased intensification which would adversely affect neighbouring residential areas and that protective measures needed to be addressed. He also commented that major city-wide policy changes should involve communities in addition to businesses. Finally, he asked that the matter be deferred for 6-8 weeks to allow for public input. Mr. Bob McCaul attended to represent Pioneer Tower residents and comment on concerns regarding the notification process as residents were unaware of the proposed changes. He also had concern over the impact on residential area adjacent to the Gateway commercial plaza and the loss of zoning that provided a buffer from more intensive development. Accordingly, Mr. McCaul requested the proposals be deferred 4-8 weeks to allow time to inform residents and ensure previous promises in the neighbourhood secondary plan were upheld. No other delegations responded to an invitation from the Chair to address the Committee. Mayor C. Zehr put forward a motion to adopt the recommendations of the 2 staff reports and the list of additional minor revisions circulated by staff this date. The recommendations and revisions were agreed to subject to any subsequent related changes necessary as a result of further revisions proposed by Committee members. Councillor J.

Britton’s submission The question was raised as to whether C-8 zoning issues could be isolated so as to approve of all other matters. However, Mr. B. Stanley commented that the backing of the Municipal Plan Amendment was needed to deal with these issues. 5.BPS-01-095-PROPOSED NEW COMMERCIAL POLICY STRUCTURE -MUNICIPAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION MP 01/01/TC/LM -ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 01/12/TC/CL (COMPREHENSIVE REVISIONS TO THE C8 ZONE) PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES AUGUST 13, 2001- 87 -CITY OF KITCHENER - CITY INITIATED (CONT’D) On motion by Councillor J.
