PLANNING MATTERS 7:00 P.M.
Public Meeting
AM-2014-008, Zoning By-law Amendment Application,
Orsini Bros. Inns Inc.
Agent: John Broderick, Broderick and Partners.
Proposal: Deferred Tourist Commercial Zoning.
Background
Applicant has requested a zoning by-law amendment for lands known as 5965-5989
Fallview Blvd. (4 separate contiguous properties). The lands contain three legal non-
conforming dwellings that have deteriorated. The applicant is not prepared to improve
the dwellings and also is not prepared to re-develop the lands at this time.
Three properties are currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) and a fourth property is
zoned Tourist Commercial with site specific regulations to permit a retail store or
museum.
The applicant has agreed to remove the non-conforming dwellings once the TC and TC-
643 zoning of the lands is changed to Deferred Tourist Commercial. (DTC).
Neighbourhood Open House
Held on April 15, 2015, no area property owners attended.
No objections to the proposal have been received by the City.
Planning Analysis
Subject properties are occupied by legal non-conforming dwellings being zoned for
tourist commercial uses.
Dwellings are in various states of deterioration and do not make a good impression on
the City's tourist core.
Applicant is not interested in being a residential landlord and is not ready to redevelop
the properties at this time.
The City's Property Standards By-law requires the dwellings to be maintained in a safe
condition.
7
Council Minutes
May 26, 2015
The applicant is reluctant to remove the dwellings under the current Tourist Commercial
(TC) zoning because the properties will cease to be residential properties and typically
are assessed as vacant commercial land.
Applicant has agreed to remove the dwellings provide the zoning of the lands is
changed from Tourist Commercial to Deferred Tourist Commercial.
Official Plan
Lands are designated Tourist Commercial in the City's Official Plan and located in
Fallsview Subdistrict.
Lands designated Tourist Commercial intended to be developed for large scale
accommodations, entertainment, retail and cultural attractions.
The Official Plan provides that legal non-conforming uses should cease over time.
Policies provide that when a legal non-conforming use seriously affects the general
amenity of the surrounding area, consideration should be given to reducing or
eliminating such conditions. Council may undertake measures deemed necessary to
remove non-conforming uses and to improve the area. Rezoning the lands would
facilitate demolition of the buildings without incurring undue hardship (tax increases) for
the owner.
In the past, Council has deferred tourism development rights through zoning in the
Clifton Hill District. A program of zoning that encourages landowners to remove
deteriorated structures would assist in improving the appearance of this important
tourist district and the overall experience for tourists.
The proposed zoning complies with the Official Plan.
Zoning By-law
Lands are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) in part, and Tourist Commercial (TC-643)
with site specific regulations, in part, which permits a range of Tourist Commercial uses.
The existing dwellings are legal non-conforming uses since they were established prior
to the TC zoning.
Applicant is not interested in maintaining the dwellings or proceeding to redevelop the
properties at this time.
Zoning is requested to be changed to Deferred Tourist Commercial (DTC) zone until the
applicant is ready to proceed with tourist commercial development.
The DTC zone permits only a detached dwelling as a use.
Accordingly, it is anticipated that the proposed zoning change will enable MPAC to
assess the lands as vacant residential lands.
Any future development on the land for tourist commercial uses will require a Zoning
By-law Amendment application. In the interim, the lands should be maintained as a
grassed area.
The amendment is recommended for the following reasons:
• Removal of legal non-conforming uses comply with the policies of the Official
Plan;
• Council may undertake measures to remove non-conforming uses to improve the
amenity of an area;
• Removing the deteriorated dwellings will improve the appearance of the tourist

area which is consistent with the Official Plan;
• The Deferred Tourist Commercial zone is appropriate since the owner is not
ready to develop the lands at this time;
• The applicant has agreed to remove the dwellings if the zoning of the lands is
changed to the DTC zone in anticipation that MPAC will assess the resulting
vacant lands as residential;
• The Fallsview Subdistrict has a surplus of development ready zoned land; and
• The City has used the Deferred Tourist Commercial zone in the Clifton Hill
Subdistrict for lands occupied by non-tourist serving uses as an interim approach
until the demand for the land materializes. It is reasonable to use a similar
approach in the Fallsview Subdistrict.
Conclusion
The amendment is recommended for the following reasons:
• Removal of legal non-conforming uses comply with the policies of the Official
Plan;
• Council may undertake measures to remove non-conforming uses to improve the
amenity of an area;
• Removing the deteriorated dwellings will improve the appearance of the tourist
area which is consistent with the Official Plan;
• The Deferred Tourist Commercial zone is appropriate since the owner is not
ready to develop the lands at this time;
• The applicant has agreed to remove the dwellings if the zoning of the lands is
changed to the DTC zone in anticipation that MPAC will assess the resulting
vacant lands as residential;
• The Fallsview Subdistrict has a surplus of development ready zoned land; and
• The City has used the Deferred Tourist Commercial zone in the Clifton Hill
Subdistrict for lands occupied by non-tourist serving uses as an interim approach
until the demand for the land materializes. It is reasonable to use a similar
approach in the Fallsview Subdistrict.
Recommendation
That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to re-zone the lands
Deferred Tourist Commercial (DTC); and
That Council pass the By-law on tonight's agenda to implement the amendment.
The Public Meeting was Closed.
John Broderick, on behalf of the applicant, was in support of the recommendation
report.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor, seconded by Councillor loannoni that the
report be approved as recommended.

Public Meeting
AM-2015-003, Zoning By-law Amendment Application,
4025 Dorchester Road and Part of the Abutting Hydro Corridor to the West of the
Subject Property. Applicant: Curtis Gail Developments. Agent: Michael Allen, ACK
Architects. Proposal: Reduction of the Landscape Requirements to Allow for a Service
Delivery Access and to Increase the Parking Spaces on the Parking Zone and Allow for
staff parking in the Hydro One Leased Lands.
Background
Applicant has requested several amendments to Zoning By-law 79-200 for the Munroe
Plaza at the south west corner of Dorchester and Thorold Stone Roads.
The applicant has removed a portion of the required landscaping between Building "C"
in the southwest corner of the site and replaced it with an asphalt service lane. The
applicant has also constructed an asphalt parking lot for staff of the plaza on the
abutting Hydro One lands.
The applicant is requesting landscaping requirements be reduced to 18% from 20% to
recognize the asphalt service lane and also to recognize the expanded parking lot.
Neighbourhood Open House
Held on April 16, 2015
Three residents attended and a letter of concern was submitted by a fourth resident.
Concerns were as follows:
• Lack of proper drainage;
• Location of garbage bins in the southwest corner of the property
• Noise generated from loading/unloading of vehicles, vehicles idling,
warning sounds of trucks backing up;
• Insufficient screening behind 4058 McKinless Crescent
• 2 parallel parking spaces behind 4058 McKinless Crescent being used to
park trucks
Agent stated all storm water is contained on-site and speculated that drainage issues on
neighbouring properties could be due to grade changes that have occurred on private
property;
Applicant stated that garbage bin could be re-located to designated area as seen on the
approved site plan;
Applicant stated that vehicle noise would occur when large trucks deliver to end unit,
twice a week during regular business hours. He would post signs to state the lane was
for deliveries only and no idling.
To address the screening of 4058 McKinless Cres., the agent offered to plant cedar
trees.
To address the two parallel parking spaces, the agent suggested they could be
removed.
One neighbour who lives next to the parking on the hydro lands is of the opinion that the
landscape buffer should be wider and include more trees. His concern is that the
parking lot was not constructed with the proper grade, resulting in drainage issues on
his property. The applicant responded that any drainage and landscape issues can be
addressed through the site plan process.

May 26, 2015
Planning Analysis
Official Plan
North half of plaza is designated Minor Commercial in the City's Official Plan; south half
of the plaza is designated Residential.
Official Plan allows for a minor rounding out of commercial areas if the economic
viability of the commercial area is enhanced, internal circulation is improved and
landscaping is increased.
Removal of some of the landscaping between Building "C" and the neighbouring
residential properties and the construction of a service lane in its place has improved
the functioning of the site by allowing deliveries to the rear of the building.
However, the noise created during deliveries are impacting the residents. The laneway
is not wide enough to allow large delivery trucks to be driven around Building "C"
instead they must back down the laneway which triggers the backup warning signals on
the trucks. Further impacts occur when vehicles are idling during a delivery.
The Hydro One lands located to the west of the plaza are designated Residential in the
Official Plan.
The applicant has constructed a parking area on these lands for 18 vehicles for staff
working in the plaza.
The tenant mix together with the size of the plaza has resulted in a unique need for
additional parking over and above typical zoning requirements.
Zoning By-law
Subject property is zoned Neighbourhood Commercial (NC-270) with site specific
regulations that permit the commercial plaza with larger building setbacks and larger
landscape strips along the south and west sides of Building "C".
The plaza was allowed to expand in 2007 based on the applicant's willingness to
provide larger building setbacks and landscape strips to buffer the commercial property
from the dwellings to the south and west.
To avoid deliveries at the front of the plaza units, a service land was constructed behind
the building for on-site functionality. The service lane has resulted in a reduction of
landscaped open space between the building and the lot line common with the
residences.
A garbage dumpster has been placed in the southwest corner of the property. This
necessitates a garbage truck to enter and retrieve the garbage and then back into the
drive thru lane for the coffee shop. This creates a dangerous situation and therefore,
the dumpster should be moved and relocated. The applicant has agreed to do so.
In 1992, Council changed the zoning of approximately 250 sq. m. of Hydro One lands to
Parking (P-318) to allow for 8 surplus parking spaces in the northwest corner of the
plaza.
The applicant is requesting the site specific P-318 zone to be extended over an
additional 500 sq. m. of the transmission corridor to recognize the employee parking
area that has been constructed.

Council Minutes
May 26, 2015
Site Plan Control
Munroe Plaza is under site plan control and the City has a registered agreement with
the owner. A revision to the registered site plan agreement is required to address the
changes to the site that are requested.
Any concerns stated in the open house meeting can be addressed through amendment
of the registered agreement. The owners of the adjacent residences should be invited to
comment on the changes.
Conclusion
The amendments are recommended for the following reasons:
• The Official Plan permits the minor rounding out of commercial boundaries
to enhance economic viability and improve internal traffic circulation;
• The parking area on the Hydro One lands represents a minor rounding out
of the commercial node and can be designed to have minimal impacts on
the adjacent neighbours.
• The proposed parking area complies with the regulations of the Parking
zone.
• Outstanding concerns can be addressed through the site plan amendment
process.
Recommendation
That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to recognize an
asphalt service lane that has been provided in the southwest corner of Munroe Plaza
and a staff parking area that has been established on lands proposed to be leased from
Ontario Hydro to the west of the plaza; and,
That the issues of drainage, signage, site design and screening be addressed through
the Site Plan Approval process and that the abutting neighbours be invited to
participate.
Mike Manella, representing his father-in-law, Sam Di Carlo, McKinless resident,
indicated although the landscaping relief seems minor in certain areas it is substantial
compared to the City standards, he requested an increase buffer between the hydro
parking lot and the fence and with regard to the laneway behind the building, he
questioned how the one-way access and prohibition against backing up would be
enforced if there was not compliance.
Michael Allen, agent for the applicant, said his client did precede the approval
process, however, there had been numerous meetings with the parties, various Council
members and City staff. He stressed that the hydro lot would be strictly for staff and
was a necessity due to the success of the plaza. Mr. Allen indicated that his client was
willing to put up appropriate signage to prevent idling and transport trucks behind the
building. He also confirmed that the hydro lot drains into the corridor away from the
homes.
The Public Meeting was Closed.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor Strange, seconded by Councillor
Campbell the report be deferred.
