BACKGROUND:
On April 29, 2019, Council approved the majority of Stage 1 ofthe city's new zoning by-law(By-law No.
2019-051)for Kitchener. Council deferred consideration of portions of Stage 1 of the Zoning By-law in
response to delegations made at the April 15, 2019 Planning and Strategic Committee meeting and the
April 29, 2019Council meeting. Consideration of the Bonusing provisions, the Urban Growth Centre
(UGC)Zones and the properties to which the UGC zones apply weredeferred to May 13, 2019
Planning and Strategic Committee meeting. Consideration of the application of zoning on 27 properties
weredeferred to May27, 2019 Council meeting.
REPORT:
As a result of Council deferring portions of Stage 1 of the Zoning By-law, aZoning By-law Amendment
is required to add theseportionsto By-law No. 2019-051.The Planning Act requires that a statutory
public meeting be held for consideration of aZoning By-law Amendment and that notice of the statutory
public meeting be given. Accordingly, Council cannot proceed with approving the zoning of the
deferred portions until these process requirements have been complied with. Staff is recommending
that they be directed to prepare Amendment No. 1 to By-law 2019-051,that the statutory public meeting
to consider AmendmentNo.1be held on June 24, 2019, and, that notice ofthe statutory public meeting
be given.
8.a - 1
In advance of preparing Amendment No. 1,staff has reviewed the zoningthat was recommendedfor
the27propertiesthat weredeferred, considered the written and oral submissionsreceived from
delegations,and had further conversations and correspondence with each of the delegations.It is
noted that many of the submissions received from delegations the day of, or within days of the
new zoning by-lawidentified issues not previously raised,or
contained new information not previously provided to staff in the 4+ years consultation process.
attached to this report as Appendix A. Staff has also prepared potential wording for alternate options in
case Council considersmodifying
Staff is recommending thatAmendment No. 1 include the contents attached to this report as Appendix
B. Accordingly, staff is recommending that zoning be applied to 17 propertiesandthat the zoning of 4
properties be referredto a future stage of the Zoning By-law or Neighbourhood Planning Review,
whichever is appropriate.The zoning of 6 other properties will be reviewed in the future with all the
Rosenberg Secondary Plan lands.
Further, staff is recommending that Amendment No. 1 also include the UGC Zones, the properties to
which the UGC zones apply and the Bonusing provisionsthat were deferred,with minor updates.
These were the topic of Report DSD-19-106 and discussed and recommended for approval at the May
13, 2019 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee Meeting.
