EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
St. Matthew's Lutheran Church is proposing to amend the Municipal Plan Designation and the
zoning of 39 and 51 Church Street. The lands are located on the southern corner of the
intersection of Church Street and Benton Street, as shown on the map above. The owner is
proposing to change the Secondary Plan designation on the lands from High Density Multiple
Residential to High Density Commercial Residential. The owner also proposes to change the
zoning on the lands to a new Cedar Hill Four Zone with Special Use Provision 364U which will
allow the lands to be redeveloped comprehensively in the future, and will allow the existing
building to be used as a single detached dwelling, an office or studio with up to one dwelling
unit. Staff recommend that the subject zone change be approved and Municipal Plan
amendment be adopted.
BACKGROUND:
The subject land is owned by St. Matthew's Lutheran Church and is located on the south corner of
the intersection of Church Street and Benton Street. The subject land is legally considered one
property; however, it currently has two municipal addresses 39 & 51 Church St, as shown on the
map on the previous page. The land currently contains an irregularly shaped parking lot at 39
Church St and a duplex dwelling at 51 Church St.
The purpose of these applications is twofold. First, in the short-term the owner wishes to rent the
existing duplex dwelling as a single detached dwelling, office or studio, and to allow one dwelling unit
to be located in conjunction with an office or studio - facilitating a live-work situation. There are no
immediate plans for the parking lot portion of the property. Second, the requested zone change and
Municipal Plan amendment will bring the lands into the same designation and zoning categories. In
the future, this will allow the lands to be developed comprehensively with a higher intensity use.
In 2005, a City initiated zone change (ZC05/06/C/CB) proposed a comprehensive rezoning for the
entire Cedar Hill neighbourhood. The purpose of this zone change was to implement
recommendations of the Cedar Hill Land Use and Social Environment Study. This study provided a
comprehensive review of Cedar Hill in respect of land use planning policies, housing mix, and
distribution of social services, and put forward recommendations for actions to improve the overall
community. The resulting zoning by-law was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. Therefore,
in order to facilitate this zone change application, the owner must seek to change both the previously
existing zoning and the adopted, but appealed, Cedar Hill zoning.
REPORT:
1. Planning Comments
Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment
As indicated on Schedule "A" of the proposed Municipal Plan Amendment, attached as Appendix
"B", the subject lands are currently subject to two land use designations under the Cedar Hill
Secondary Plan: High Density Commercial Residential and High Density Multiple Residential. As
discussed in the Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment, the owner wishes to apply the High
Density Commercial Residential designation to all the lands. The proposed change mainly
influences the range of uses, and will not significantly impact the density or scale of
development which could be accommodated on the subject lands. Based on the analysis
provided in the Proposed Municipal Plan Amendment, staff feel that it is appropriate considering
the uses, housing types and densities already established in the area, and recommend adoption.
Proposed Amendment to Zoning By-law 85-1:
Originally, the applicant applied to change the zoning on the lands from the current and appealed
zoning, as shown in Table 1 below, to the appealed Cedar Hill Two (CH-2) Zone. However, staff feel
that because the CH-2 Zone has been appealed, it is more appropriate to create an entirely new
zoning category for the subject lands. Therefore, staff are recommending that the zoning on all the
lands be changed to a new Cedar Hill Four Zone (CH-4) with a special use provision for Area 3 (51
Church St.
The overall and long-term intention for the lands is that they be brought into the same zoning
category to allow a comprehensive redevelopment in the future. The proposed Cedar Hill Four Zone
(CH-4) will allow the lands to be used for a variety of commercial and office uses including financial
establishment, funeral homes, health office or clinic, multiple dwellings, office, religious institution,
and studio. Convenience retail or personal services are permitted only as part of a large mixed use
development. In the short-term, the owner intends to re-use the duplexed residential building at 51
Church Street. Special Use Provision 364U proposed for these lands (Area 3 - as shown on the
map below and described in Table 1 above) would permit the building to be used only as a single
detached dwelling, or an office (including social services administration) or studio with up to one
dwelling unit; all other uses permitted by the CH-4 Zone would require a comprehensive
redevelopment of the lands.

Figure 1. Subject Lands showing Area 1, Area 2 & Area 3.
Area 1
The proposed CH-4 Zone is very similar to both the existing CR-3 zoning and the CH-2 zoning,
however the proposed zoning will allow multiple residential units with a floor space of 85 m2 and only
2 bedrooms. Therefore, in Area 1 the range of uses will be very similar and the permitted densities
are the same. The only difference in the setback regulation is that the proposed zoning introduces
a maximum setback of 6.0 metres for front yard or side yard abutting a street. This will help to
ensure that any future development is street oriented and has an urban feel.
Area 2 & Area 3
Area 2 is currently zoned Residential Nine Zone (R-9). This zone permits high rise multiple
residential buildings as well as some office and commercial uses. However, the appealed Cedar Hill
One (CH-1) Zone only permits single detached dwellings, home daycares and home businesses.
The proposed CH-4 Zone permits a range of commercial, office and multiple residential on a scale
considered compatible with the Cedar Hill Community. The permitted building density is the same
as the R-9 zone, however it does represent an increase from the appealed CH-1 Zone.
Staff feel that the proposed CH-4 Zone is appropriate for the future development of the lands and
feel that it is appropriate for the existing duplex dwelling at 51 Church Street to be used as a single
detached dwelling, or office (including the administrative office for a social service) or studio with up
to one dwelling unit. The lands are located in an established neighbourhood which is characterised
by its mix of residential, institutional and commercial uses. These uses represent a mix of heights
and densities and staff feel that this location is ideal for the proposed range uses permitted Cedar
Hill Four Zone (CH-4). Furthermore, the lands are at the corner of a local road and a primary arterial
road. This intersection is surrounded by institutional and commercial uses including several
churches and a funeral home, and the proposed range of uses are considered compatible with the
existing neighbourhood. Staff feel that this site represents a good redevelopment opportunity, which
will allow for intensification in the central city, in an area well served by public transit and pedestrian
amenities. With regards to density, the subject lands are already permitted to be developed with a
Floor Space Ratio of 4.0 by the current CR-3, CH-2 and R-9 zoning, therefore a continuation of
these densities is appropriate. Staff also note that any future comprehensive redevelopment of the
property would be subject to Site Plan Approval to ensure compliance will all City by-laws and
policies -such as the Urban Design Guidelines.
Provincial and Regional Policy Considerations
The proposed zone change and Municipal plan amendments for this site meets the intent of the
following Provincial and Regional policies:
2005 Provincial Policy Statement
The development proposal is consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement which
encourages residential intensification. Section 1.1.3.3 states that "Planning authorities
shall...promote opportunities for intensification and redevelopment where this can be
accommodated taking into account existing building stock or areas". Intensification and
redevelopment helps to efficiently use existing roads, services, utilities, and land. This proposal, by
bringing the lands into the same designation and zoning category will allow the future redevelopment
of the lands.
2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, calls for new growth to be directed to
built-up areas through intensification. The proposed zone change and Municipal Plan Amendment
will facilitate new growth in a built up area. In addition, the zoning will allow for amixed-use
development, in a transit supportive and pedestrian friendly environment, thus potentially reducing
dependence on the automobile.
1998 Regional Official Policies Plan
The development proposal meets the principles of the Regional Settlement Patterns outlined in
Chapter 7 of the Regional Official Policies Plan which encourages compact development and
increased densities to reduce the need for growth at the urban fringe. The subject lands are within
the City Urban Area as established in the Regional Official Policies Plan and the proposed zone
change and Municipal Plan Amendment will facilitate increased densities in the future.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Municipal Plan amendment and zone change would bring the lands into the same
designation and zoning category, allowing the lands to be redeveloped comprehensively in the
future. Proposed Special Use Provision 364U will allow the existing building to be used as a single
detached dwelling, studio, office (including administrative office for a social service establishment)
with up to one dwelling unit. This change is considered compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Staff feel that the requested Municipal Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment are
consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe, and the Regional Official Policies Plan. Based on the foregoing, the applications
are appropriate and are recommended for approval.
AGENCY COMMENTS:
No concerns were raised by any commenting agency or City department as a result of the
preliminary circulation of the Municipal Plan Amendment and Zone Change.
NEIGHBOURHOOD COMMENTS:
As a result of the preliminary circulation of the Municipal Plan Amendment and Zone Change
applications, staff received one written comment from a neighbouring property owner. This
individual was concerned with any changes to the 2005 comprehensive Cedar Hill Zoning By-law
Amendment. Staff comment that the proposed Municipal Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law
Amendment will maintain the uses and regulations put forward in the Cedar Hill Two Zone and will
also permit multiple dwellings greater than 85m2 and a maximum of 2 bedrooms.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
No Capital expenditures required as part of the approvals of or development on these specific lands.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Preliminary circulation of the Municipal Plan Amendment and Zone Change was undertaken on May
25, 2007 to all appropriate agencies and to all property owners within 120 metres of the subject
lands. All residents who provided comments will be mailed a copy of this report.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Municipal Plan Amendment and zone change would bring the lands into the same
designation and zoning category, allowing the lands to be redeveloped comprehensively in the
future. Proposed Special Use Provision 364U will allow the existing building to be used as a single
detached dwelling, studio, office (including administrative office for a social service establishment)
with up to one dwelling unit. This change is considered compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Based on the foregoing, the applications are appropriate and are recommended for approval.

AMENDMENT NO. TO THE MUNICIPAL PLAN
OF THE CITY OF KITCHENER
SECTION 1-TITLE AND COMPONENTS
This amendment shall be referred to as Amendment No. to the Municipal Plan of the City of
Kitchener. This amendment is comprised of Sections 1 to 4 inclusive.
SECTION 2 -PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT
This Municipal Plan Amendment proposes to amend the land use designation on lands owned by St
Matthew's Lutheran Church municipally known as 39 & 51 Church Street, as shown on the
attached Schedule `A', from High Density Multiple Residential to High Density Commercial
Residential in the Cedar Hill Secondary Plan. The amendment will allow the existing building to be
used as an office or studio with up to one dwelling unit and will allow lands to be developed
comprehensively in the future.
SECTION 3 -BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
The current land use designation on the subj ect lands is High Density Multiple Residential within
the Cedar Hill Secondary Plan. This designation permits large multiple residential buildings
with a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 4.0 and also allows a small amount of convenience
commercial, personal services and office uses to be located within a large multiple residential
buildings.
The proposed amendment is to change the designation on the lands from High Density Multiple
Residential to High Density Commercial Residential. The street fronting portion of 39 Church
Street is already designated High Density Commercial Residential. Extension of the High
Density Commercial Residential designation to the remainder of the lands owned by St.
Matthew's Lutheran Church will allow either the current or a future owner to develop the
property comprehensively in the future, rather than in a piecemeal fashion. Uses permitted in the
High Density Commercial Residential designation include: multiple dwellings as well as a range
of other commercial uses including: office, health office and clinic, medical laboratories,
religious institutions, educational establishments, day care facilities, funeral homes, financial
establishments and studios. Convenience commercial and personal service uses are permitted to
be located within a large residential, office or mixed use building.
The proposed designation is considered appropriate and compatible with the surrounding land
uses and the neighbouring properties. In regards to density, the subject lands are already
permitted to be developed to with a FSR of 4.0. The subject lands are located in an established
neighbourhood which is characterized by its mix of residential and institutional uses. The lands
north of the subject lands fronting onto Church Street and Benton Street are designated High
Density Commercial Residential and contain a funeral home. Lands along Church Street are
designated High Density Multiple Residential and contain a mix of institutional and low,
medium and high rise residential uses. These are considered compatible with the proposed High
Density Commercial Residential designation.
Lands south of the subject lands on Benton Street are currently designated Medium Density
Commercial Residential which permits a similar range of uses as the proposed High Density
Commercial Residential designation; however the Floor Space Ratio is limited to 2.0. These
lands currently contain a mix of existing single detached dwellings, small multiples, and vacant
lands for redevelopment. The intention of the Medium Density Commercial Residential
designation is that land uses in the area will intensify over time. The lands south of the subject
lands (which front St. George Street) are designated Low Density Multiple Residential. These
lands currently contain low rise residential uses. Overall, staff feel that the proposed High
Density Commercial Residential designation will have a similar impact to any adjacent lands as
the existing High Density Multiple Residential designation, should the owner redevelop the
properties.
Based on the foregoing, the proposed Municipal Plan Amendment is considered appropriate for the
redevelopment and use of the land and is compatible with the surrounding area. The amendment
complies with the Regional Official Policies Plan, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement
and would help implement the objectives `Places to Grow'.

Invites
PROPERTY OWNERS AND INTERESTED PARTIES

PUBLIC MEETING

A PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND
A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW
UNDER SECTIONS 22 AND 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT, 1990

These lands currently contain a parking lot and a duplex dwelling. The owner would like to
change the City's Official Plan and zoning on the subject lands to High Density Commercial
Residential designation and Cedar Hill Four Zone with a Special Use Provision. These changes
would allow the existing building to be used as a single detached dwelling, an office or a studio

that they could be redeveloped as one site in the future.

August 13t" 2007 at 7:00 P.M. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 2ND FLOOR, CITY HALL, 200
