1. DTS-06-137 - CHANGE TO COUNCIL POLICY RESOLUTION POLICY NUMBER 1-1075
- PART LOT CONTROL EXEMPTION BY-LAWS RE: EXPIRY DATE OF
BY-LAW
The Committee considered Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-06-
137, dated September 11, 2006, regarding a change to Council Policy I-1075 (Part Lot Control
Exemption By-laws Re: Expiry Date of By-law).
On motion by Councillor B. Vrbanovic -
it was resolved:
"That Council Policy Resolution (Policy Number I-1075 Part Lot Control Exemption By-
laws), Policy Content No. 2 be deleted and replaced with the following:
"2. That under authority granted to municipalities in accordance to Section 50 (7.1) of
the Planning Act, RSO, 1990, c P13 as amended, the expiration time of the By-law
exempting undeveloped residential lots or blocks within a registered plan of
subdivision from Part Lot Control is set at two years from the date of enactment of
said By-law by City Council. There shall be no expiration date for By-laws
exempting lots which are developed on the date the by-law is passed. Developed
lots shall be defined as lots that have services in place, have a building permit
issued for the main building, and have the foundation in place."
2. SPEED REDUCTION -GLASGOW STREET
Ms. S. Pryde and Ms. S. Tilley were in attendance to request that the City impose a lower speed
limit on Glasgow Street. Ms. Pryde advised that 2005 data shows that 7,200 vehicles drive on
Glasgow Street each day, and 85% of them exceed the 50 km/h speed limit. She then spoke of
traffic accidents that have taken place on Glasgow Street, including deaths and serious injuries.
Ms. Pryde stated that in October 2002, the Region of Waterloo told Glasgow Street residents
that Glasgow Street will be closed once Ira Needles Boulevard is in place. She questioned when
this closure will take place. Ms. Pryde state that although this area is still classed as a rural
route, it is growing at a rapid rate. She requested that if the speed can not be reduced, that the
City consider installing speed bumps 100m either side of the school and make this road an
emergency exit only. This area is growing rapidly and people need to be educated to obey a
lesser speed.
Councillor Galloway brought to Ms. Pryde's attention the fact that an Environmental Assessment
is required by the province for any traffic calming measures, which will take from 8-16 months to
complete. Ms. Pryde advised she is aware of that process. She stated she is aware that Ira
Needles Boulevard will take some traffic from Glasgow Street; however, there will still be traffic
at excessive speed.
In response to questions from Committee members Ms. Pryde advised that the neighbours have
not previously approached the City to reduce the speed limit because in October 2002 the
Region advised that Glasgow Street was going to be closed at this end, once Ira Needles

Boulevard was constructed. Councillor Lorentz noted that lowering the speed limit won't work
without a police presence. A discussion took place regarding the fact that there are no
sidewalks on the portion of Glasgow Street, and a suggestion was made that the neighbours
could submit a local improvement petition to have sidewalks installed.
Mr. D. Mansell stated that the opening of Ira Needles Boulevard will solve some of the traffic
problems on Glasgow Street, and around-about is proposed to be constructed by the Region.
Mr. Willmer advised that the timing and design for the proposed development on the west side of
Ira Needles is still undetermined; as is a decision on the location and timing for the closure of
Glasgow Street.
Mayor Zehr noted that later this week the Region will be discussing installation of traffic lights at
the intersection of Highland Road and Glasgow Street. He also stated that, the traffic on
Glasgow Street will dramatically decrease with the opening of Ira Needles Boulevard.
Staff was directed to provide Committee members with the following: updated traffic count and
speeding for Glasgow Street; whether Glasgow Street is on the priority list for traffic calming
measures and if not, whether it could be; a history on the development of the subdivision that will
bring about the closure of Glasgow Street.
3. DTS-06-193 - ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 06I13ISICB
- 100 SPORTSWORLD DR 14336 KING ST E 1427$ KING ST E
- GPM MANAGED INVESTMENTS INC.
The Committee was in receipt of Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-
06-193, dated September 11, 2006, recommending approval of zone change Application ZC
06/13/S/CB, and that the implementing by-law not be given 3 readings until such time as the
City's Director of Transportation receives a letter from the Region of Waterloo confirming that the
existing transportation network can accommodate the proposed development to a satisfactory
service level, or that sufficient resources have been secured.
The Committee was provided this date with a memorandum from Mr. C. Bluhm, dated
September 18, 2006, along with a revised Proposed By-law. Mr. Bluhm advised that Regional
staff met with the proponents of this development, and all have agreed that retail stores will be
limited to a maximum size of 6,100 square metres per unit. With such a limitation, trip
generation through this rezoning should not exceed the anticipated trip generation under the
existing zoning. Mr. Bluhm also advised that the by-law will treat this site as one consolidated
property for the purpose of the regulations in the zoning by-law.
Mr. Kindrachuk, GPM Managed Investments Inc. presented the Committee with the design of
the site including the proposed placement and height of buildings intended to be developed on
site. He advised this will be a mixed use life style project, which will contain progressive
concepts, and be a quality development.
Comments from Committee members suggested this will become a regional attraction that will
draw people from a large geographic area. Mr. Kindrachuk explained that the property will be
developed by a partnership that includes a pension fund, and they are long term investors. He
also advised that it is the intention for this development to attract one of a kind retailers.
Councillor Gazzola thanked Mr. Kindrachuk for working closely with him, the neighbours and
staff. He pointed out the revised recommendation of staff, and Mr. Kindrachuk advised he
agrees with it. With respect to the old school site, Mr. Kindrachuk advised it has been removed
from the demolition program and he will work with the neighbours and staff to determine its best
use.
Mayor Zehr questioned timelines for this development, and was advised that the first phase will
commence in March 2007, to be completed by Christmas 2007; the second phase will
commence in March 2008 for completion that Christmas; with the offices being developed as the
market dictates.

East);
be approved in the form shown in the `proposed bylaw', dated September 16, 2006
attached to the memorandum from Cory Bluhm, Planner, dated September 18, 2006."
4. REVIEW OF ZONING IN OLD WESTMOUNT
Councillor Weylie asked for the Committee's support to have staff review existing zoning in the
area bounded by Glasgow Street, Westmount Golf Club, the City of Waterloo boundary, and the
limit of commercial zoning on Belmont Avenue, in order to identify situations where zoning may
need to be amended to discourage severances.
On motion by Councillor M. Galloway -
it was resolved:
"That Planning staff undertake a review of current residential zoning in the Old
Westmount neighbourhood, bounded by Glasgow Street, Westmount Golf Club, the City
of Waterloo boundary, and the limit of commercial zoning on Belmont Avenue, and report
to Council identifying where the current zoning provides opportunities for creation of new
lots by severance, in order to identify situations where zoning may need to be amended to
discourage such severances."
5. DTS-06-13$ - ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 06I10IKIJB
- 501 KRUG STREET
1291105 ONTARIO LTD.
Councillor M. Galloway declared a pecuniary interest in this matter, as he is employed by a
business who may benefit from this zone change, and he left the meeting at this time.
The Committee considered Development and Technical Services Department report DTS-06-
138, dated September 8, 2006, regarding Zone Change Application ZC 06/10/K/JB to change
the zoning on the lands at 501 Krug Street. Mr. Willmer reviewed this staff report noting it is
staff's recommendation that this zone change application be refused.
Councillor Vrbanovic noted that these kinds of neighbourhood plazas are experiencing problems
because of the current big box store trend. Because of the challenges being faced by these
types of plazas, he questioned whether staff will be reviewing them as a whole. Mr. Willmer
acknowledged the difficulties faced by neighbourhood plazas, advising that staff have
considered allowing for residential development. He stated the long term hope is that as the
economy and society changes, due to rising fuel costs, that people will return to local based
foods and services.
Councillor Vrbanovic stated that bingos have a wider draw than uses normally permitted in
neighbourhood plaza; he questioned whether the same can be said of the doctors' offices in the
Forest Hill Plaza or such uses as Giant Tiger. Mr. Willmer responded that doctors' offices and
retail uses such as Giant Tiger are distributed across the City, and bingo halls have a broader

SEPTEMBER 1$, 2006 - 71- CITY OF KITCHENER
5. DTS-06-13$ - ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 06I10IKIJB tCONT'D)
draw.
When questioned by the Committee, Mr. Willmer advised that the current zoning on the property
will allow this space to be used as a large restaurant or bar.
Councillor Smola questioned what would happen if the bingo hall fails, and Mr. Willmer advised
the zoning will stay the same until someone initiates a zone change.
Councillor Smola then questioned what jurisdiction licensing has in this case. Mr. Gosse
responded that hours of operation can be regulated through Public Hall licensing; however,
regulating hours of operation would apply to all bingo halls.
Mayor Zehr referred to the financial implications section of the staff report and directed that staff
provide Council with the traffic analysis by next Monday night's Council meeting.
Mayor Zehr then questioned whether there can be any provisions to have the zoning cease if
this use leaves. Mr. Willmer responded that Council could pass a temporary use by-law which
could last up to 3 years. If a standard zone change is followed, Council could change the zoning
back to what it is now, once the bingo hall use is established, then the use would become legal
non-conforming and could continue until it ceases.
With respect to meeting the intent of the Official Plan, Mr. Willmer stated that the Official Plan
states some intended uses, but not that they are the only permitted uses. It is up to Council to
decide if the proposed use meets the intent, which is for commercial uses that serve the
immediate area.
Councillor Gazzola questioned noise and traffic problems. Mr. Willmer responded that if traffic is
a significant issue, there may be a need for a holding by-law, or it may be addressed through site
plan control. Noise from patrons may be a policing issue. Overflow parking can be addressed
through parking restrictions or a permitting system.
Mr. B. Pegg was in attendance on behalf of the 27 not-for-profit groups who make up the K-W
Charities Bingo Centre. They have been operating on King Street East in Downtown Kitchener
since 1984. Due to the changing landscape of gaming in Ontario they have sought to relocate
the bingo hall for the last 2 years. For over 20 years, the members of these not-for-profit groups
have raised funds through thousands of volunteer hours day in and day out in order to: support
those with disabilities, feed and cloth those in need, provide worthwhile recreation, enhance the
efforts and mandates of many service clubs, and make minor sports in our community 2"d to
none. He estimated that over $250,000 each year from bingo proceeds funnel through their
members to the community.
Mr. Pegg them addressed some of the issues and concerns raised by the community respecting
the zone change. He advised that they did not intend to hide anything from the residents by
sending the initial letter in May to residents within 120m of the subject property. They were
following City guidelines and they also realized that ultimately a meeting such as this would take
place. Respecting parking, Mr. Pegg advised that the average attendance for the last 2 years
has been approximately 43 in the daytime and 72 at the evening and weekend sessions. The
assumption is that 2 patrons will attend per car. If they achieve an increase in attendance of
50%, the parking requirement will be between 30 and 60 cars. The parking lot at the Krug Street
plaza has 208 spaces, with 50% of them being unoccupied on weekdays and there is a greater
percentage of vacant spaces on weekends.
In terms of required space, Mr. Pegg advised that they currently occupy 12,000 sq. ft. The
space at 501 Krug Street will be slightly smaller. They intend to put in better washrooms, a nicer
snack bar, and a lounge area with no alcohol. They would also include a "rapid fire" game area
in 30% of the space, as their customers enjoy this before bingo starts and during intermissions.
He advised that 75% of their patrons are women between the ages of 35 and 65, many of them
are mother/daughter combinations for whom bingo is a social night out.

Respecting hours of operation, they intend to alter the beginning and end times so as not to
coincide with school hours of operation, to address the concerns raised by neighbours. Further,
according to Grand River Transit, the bus stops at the plaza at 10:55 p.m., and they intend to
end their evening sessions before 10:45 p.m. to allow customers, staff and volunteers to access
that bus. With respect to concerns about noise and light, bingo facilities are not noisy, and
anyone passing by the facility during a session would never know what was going on inside.
Also their signage will be tasteful, professional, and in keeping with the location. With respect to
smoking, they intend to create a separate outdoor smoking area, not visible from the street and
accessible only from a side door of the facility. Smoking will not be permitted at the front doors
and this will be enforced. Mr. Pegg then advised that it is their intention, if this zone change is
approved, to establish a formal procedure for the neighbours to voice any ongoing concerns
about their operation.
In conclusion, Mr. Pegg stated that in relocating to the Rosemount Plaza, it is the intention of the
K-W Charities Bingo Centre to: provide their customers with a 1St class facility; be excellent,
stable, long term tenants; be respectful of and communicate with our neighbours; be good
corporate citizens; and above all enhance each of our members' ability to continue to play a key
roll in our community.
In response to questions from the Committee, Mr. Pegg advised that they are leaving their
current location because it is in a basement and it does not have a proper elevator; there are
parking issues in the downtown; and people have unfortunate perceptions about downtown.
In terms of other locations, Mr. Pegg advised they tried to secure space at the Forest Glen Plaza
and the former Highland Road Canadian Tire, but the landlords refused to speak to them. In
addressing a question from Councillor Vrbanovic, Mr. Pegg advised that if this zone change is
not approved, they will not last in their current location, and will have to leave there by next year.
They have been looking for a new location for 2 years but have had no luck.
Upon questioning by Mayor Zehr concerning a delay in adopting the amending zoning by-law to
allow Council an opportunity to regulate the hours of operation for bingo halls, Mr. Pegg advised
that given the time required for renovations, they would not be opening until February 2007.
With respect to limiting the zone change by way of a temporary use by-law or by repealing the
zone change to make the use legal non-conforming, Mr. Pegg responded that he can not speak
for the land owner; however, the charities need stability and they don't want to have to move
again.
In response to Councillor Gazzola, Mr. Pegg advised they will be undertaking $500,000 in
leasehold improvements and are looking for a long term lease.
The Committee was in receipt of correspondence from Mr. J. Benninger, Caldwell Banker
Commercial, dated September 13, 2006, explaining the difficulties encountered while trying to
find a new location for Kitchener Charities Bingo, and asking the Committee's support for this
zone change. Mr. Benninger was in attendance this date and advised he was retained by
Kitchener Charities Bingo to find them a new location. Between October 2005 and March 2006,
he did a comprehensive search for new locations, searching for properties zoned for bingo halls,
to no avail. The Krug Street plaza meets all the requirements of a bingo hall, and it is suffering
from a change in retailing. Kitchener Charities Bingo will be an excellent long term tenant in the
plaza, the parking requirement will be much less than a grocery store, and bingo customers will
patronize other plaza stores.
Mr. J. Heij, of Bingo Country, attended this meeting to advise the Committee that he is in
agreement with the staff recommendation to refuse this zone change. He stated that although
the proponents will make a fine facility, he does not believe that making an exception to planning
principles is the proper way to hep the charities. He suggested that the best way is to maximize
the charities in one facility. This would be better for the charities and the City could make sure
all charities are protected. Upon questioning from the Committee, Mr. Heij advised he is not
sure if the two bingo halls have ever discussed amalgamation, but if K-W Charities amalgamated
with Bingo Country, City staff would be deeply involved. Each charity would have fewer sessions
but would make more money.

Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, neighbours of 501 Krug Street, addressed the Committee, advising they
have lived in their home for 25 years, and this is a quiet neighbourhood. Mr. Bowman stated
there is no grocery store there now, but it will come back. He stated that the proponents keep
changing their statistics, first there will be 3 people to a car, then 2 people; they previously
indicated 90 patrons but their numbers have changed again. Further, the proponents have not
advised that the number of patrons changes with the size of the pot, and the larger the pot, the
more people play bingo, and this will increase the flow of traffic. Concerning public
transportation, buses to this plaza come every 30-45 minutes; whereas the Downtown and
Fairview Mall area have much more frequent public transportation. Mr. Bowman stated that of
the 37 responses from neighbours, only 4 have no concerns. This application should not be
approved.
Mrs. Bowman advised she is a bingo player and is not opposed to bingos; however, bingo halls
should not be located in residential areas. Upon questioning, Mrs. Bowman advised that her
concerns in the past with a grocery store was that there was not enough parking. Councillor
Vrbanovic stated that restaurants and bars are permitted in this plaza, and he questioned if
these uses would be more acceptable. Mr. Bowman advised that if a bar opened up in this
plaza, they would be back at Council with their concerns.
Councillor Gazzola questioned what Mrs. Bowman's major concern is and she advised that her
concerns are traffic at night and gambling in an area where there are schools and churches.
Councillor Gazzola also questioned whether Mrs. Bowman has every seen 300-500 people at a
bingo, and she responded that she has only seen a few people at bingo but when there is a
large pot, there is a large turn-out.
Councillor Weylie questioned how many people attended the neighbourhood meeting on June
6th, and Mr. Bowman responded that that there were approximately 10 neighbours in attendance
and others from the charities. He commended Mr. Heij's comments that there are other options.
Ms. Bowman addressed the Committee advising that she has been a resident of the Rosemount
area since she was born, and wasn't invited to the June meeting. She stated that other people
join her in not wanting a bingo hall in this neighbourhood. Neither she nor her neighbours
received a notice of the June 6th meeting. She stated that Rosemount is a safe neighbourhood
and not an area where gambling should take place.
Ms. Bowman stated that there will be traffic changes with the location of a bingo hall in the
neighbourhood, and this will cause an overflow of traffic in the school zone. The beginning and
ending times for bingos will be during school times, and there is no guarantee that they will
change the times for bingo. She stated that she bought a house in this neighbourhood and does
not want a bingo hall in her backyard.
Councillor Vrbanovic questioned whether Ms. Bowman felt unsafe when she has attended
bingos, to which she responded that there have been break-ins and fender benders. He
questioned whether she felt unsafe because of the clientele, and she responded that she felt
unsafe attending the bingo hall in the Downtown but not the one on Weber Street. She stated
that they know their neighbours and they do not want Downtown clientele in their
neighbourhood.
Councillor J. Smola stated that he is a resident of the Downtown. In response to comments
made by the delegations, he commented that the bingo hall operators have indicated they will
change the hours of operation so as not to coincide with school leaving times and close earlier
so as to allow patrons and volunteers to be able to use public transit.
Mr. Willmer responded to questions from the Committee advising that the zone change
notification was sent to property owners with 400' or 120m of the limits of this property. For the
June 6th neighbourhood meeting, City staff mailed the notice; however, it is possible that the
MPAC data is not current.
Ms. L. Kennedy, one of the retailers in the plaza, addressed the Committee, advising there was
a grocery store in the plaza but it was not successful. She stated she is not worried about the
DEVELOPMENT & TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 1$, 2006 - 74- CITY OF KITCHENER
5. DTS-06-13$ - ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION ZC 06I10IKIJB tCONT'D)
amount of parking, the security features proposed are wonderful, and the extra traffic is good for
everyone. She stated that she is in support of the zone change. Upon questioning Ms. Kennedy
advised she owns the licence office in this plaza and people come there from all over Kitchener
and outside of town. She also advised that this space in the plaza has been vacant for two
years.
Ms. J. Foley, JAR Jewellers, addressed the Committee, advising that she thinks this change in
the plaza will be good for everyone. The plaza needs in influx of business. She stated she is a
bingo player and bingo players are not bad people. Bingo is a social event and there are no
fights and no drinking. Gambling is everywhere and it does not interfere with traffic, and it's not
noisy. Bingo players usually stay at the bingo halls for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, so there is no
movement of traffic as there is with a grocery store.
Ms. R. Penner, Loonie Lizard Dollar Store, advised the Committee that she doesn't believe there
is an issue with parking, as the businesses close at 5:00 p.m. so there is lots of parking
available. Also, there are 4 exits from the parking lot, so there should not be a bottle neck. The
plaza landlord is great and they are always around. She stated that she supports the bingo hall.
Councillor J. Smola provided Committee members with the parking count he completed last
week. At the times he was in the neighbourhood last week, he went from house to house to
discuss this zone change. He spoke with the neighbours about any issues or concerns they had
with a bingo hall moving into the plaza, and their concerns were: parking overflow on
neighbourhood streets, safety of the school children, and questions about what would happen to
the space if the bingo hall leaves. Councillor Smola then moved approval of the zone change.
In reviewing the written submission of Mr. Pegg, Councillor Smola stated that the bingo
association has addressed the neighbourhood issues, and they have agreed to respond to
neighbourhood concerns immediately.
Councillor Lorentz stated his support for Councillor Smola's motion. He pointed out the
problems experienced by neighbours to the Forest Hill Plaza when a bar was located there,
which is also a permitted use in this plaza. He gave the opinion that this bingo hall will be an
asset. This is a responsible organization, there will be better lighting, they will undertake
substantial leasehold improvements, and the charities will have a committee to address
neighbourhood concerns.
Councillor Vrbanovic advised that he has experience with charities and bingos and has never felt
unsafe. He also stated that he grew up in the Rosemount neighbourhood. The parking situation
will work, and there are bars and fast food outlets that cause more grief than a bingo hall ever
will. He stated this is the best situation short of getting a grocery store.
Councillor Gazzola noted that there are not many people from the neighbourhood here, as their
concerns have been addressed. Gambling is now a way of life. We are fortunate to have these
charities and we have to support them.
Mayor Zehr commented that this sort of operation will not be a detriment to the neighbourhood,
and under the circumstances, this use will be good for the neighbourhood. Mayor Zehr also
voiced concern about where bingos may go in the future, and requested an amendment to
Councillor Smola's motion, which was accepted by him, that the approval of the bingo hall be
conditional on: the traffic analysis, that 3 readings of the amending by-law not take place until
the licensing by-law has been changed to control hours of operation, and that Planning staff
report on the best way to limit the use of a bingo hall to this user only.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic requested a recorded vote.
