Rendez-vous
Vittoria Wikston, Director, Business Development, Niagara Falls Tourism,
provided an update to Council on the recent Rendez-vous event held in the City.
PLANNING MATTERS 7:00 P.M.
Public Meeting
PBD -2015-34 - AM -2015-004, Zoning By-law Amendment Application, 7901, 7913
and 7933 Thorold Stone. Applicant: Niagara Falls Facility Inc. (Reichmann Seniors
Housing Development Corp) Agent: Ken Dakin, RPP, Proposal: Proposed
Retirement Home.
Background
The applicant has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for 3 properties totaling 0.77
ha(1.9ac)
Lands are zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4-815) with
site specific provisions restricting their use to a retirement home with building heights
between 2 and 4 storeys and 83 units.
The applicant proposes to increase the building height by 3.2 m (one storey) to permit a
3-5 storey building and number of units by 35 for a total of 118 units.
Neighbourhood Open House
Held on June 18 and attended by 12 residents.
Concerns:
• Parking spilling out onto Cardinal Drive;
• Speeding and traffic volumes on Cardinal Drive;
• Disruption from emergency vehicles accessing the facility;
• Lot drainage, screening and loss of privacy due to height of building.
Applicant's responses to concerns:
• Parking is provided in excess of minimum requirements for retirement homes
therefore, excess parking spilling out onto Cardinal Dr. would be rare.
• Parking and speeding could be studied further if future concerns raised by
residents.
• Use of trained staff would minimize emergency calls and the emergency vehicles
could be directed to service entrance off Thorold Stone Rd.
• Drainage would be handled at site plan stage, and would be directed so as to not
adversely impact surrounding properties.
• Applicant would work with neighbours to provide trees, plantings and fencing to
adequately screen and protect privacy of abutting residences.
Planning Analysis
CURRENT APPROVAL
In 2008, Council passed a zoning by-law amendment to permit the development of a 2-
4 storey, 83 unit retirement home.
Project was supported for following reasons:
• It complied with Official Plan with respect to locating ancillary uses on
residentially designated lands.
• Its location at the intersection of an arterial road and a collector road would
accommodate anticipated traffic and minimize infiltration into the neighbourhood;
and,
• The building was adequately setback from adjacent single detached dwellings.
4
Council Minutes
July 28, 2015
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT & GROWTH PLAN
• Provincial policies require 40% of all residential development to occur through
intensification within the City's built up area.
• Proposed retirement home would assist the City in meeting its intensification
targets and would provide an additional housing choice for seniors.
OFFICIAL PLAN
Lands designated Residential
Although residential dwellings are intended to be the primary use, ancillary uses
including retirement homes may also be permitted where compatible and where they
contribute to a complete community.
The request to add a partial floor and 35 units to the approved retirement home is
acceptable as follows:
• The setbacks from the abutting single detached dwellings are significantly larger
than what is expected from a building of this height and therefore the additional
partial floor is not expected to affect the project's compatibility with surrounding
development.
• The building steps down to the Cardinal Dr and Thorold Stone Rd frontages as
well as the rear lot line to reduce impacts on the adjacent single detached
dwellings as well as the Cardinal Dr. and Thorold Stone Rd streetscapes.
• The proposed peaked roof assists in blending in with the character of the
surrounding development.
■ Landscaping can be used to further screen the project and protect the privacy of
adjacent properties.
■ As many residents in a retirement home do not drive, the additional units would
not be expected to generate a significant amount of traffic. The current design
would direct the majority of traffic out to Thorold Stone Rd. which can support the
additional traffic.
ZONING BY-LAW
Current zoning restricts the use of the property to a retirement home and accessory
buildings and accessory structures.
The site specific R4-815 zoning limits the size and siting of the project to ensure it is
compatible with surrounding properties with extensive setbacks and buffering.
Current zoning regulations require the building height to be stepped down closer to
Cardinal Dr. This form keeps the building closer to the scale of the single detached
dwellings along Cardinal Dr. and permits additional building height where larger
setbacks from adjacent single detached dwellings are provided.
Due to the north -south slope of the land, the building will appear lower from adjacent
dwellings at the north end of the site. The building will have a height of 15.4 m when
viewed from abutting dwellings including the peaked roof. The height of the building at
the top of the highest floor is 11.6 m. This is modestly higher than the 10 m height limit
for surrounding properties.
Given the substantial setbacks, the requested increase in height is acceptable.
A rear year of 38 m and a westerly side yard of at least 17.5 m would be maintained.
For an apartment building of similar height, the setbacks would be 10 m for rear yard
and 7.7 m for side yard. The setbacks assist in mitigating the increased height.
The requested increase in the number of units by 35 is to accommodate residents
requiring `light memory care', another segment of the aging population.
5
Council Minutes
July 28, 2015
Seven additional on-site parking spaces will be required as a result in the increased
number of units. This should alleviate concerns about demands for on -street parking.
CONCLUSION
The amendment is recommended for the following reasons:
• The development complies with the Official Plan and will provide an additional
housing choice for seniors; and,
• The proposal represents a reasonable expansion of an approved use which will
remain compatible with the surrounding area;
Concerns about landscaping, buffering and parking can be dealt with at the site
plan stage.
The resident's concerns about speeding along Cardinal Drive and queuing of vehicles at
the Thorold Stone Rd and Cardinal Dr. intersection are about existing conditions.
It is recommended that staff be directed to review these matters and to report back to
Council, independent of the application at hand.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to permit an approved
retirement home to be increased in building height be a partial one storey (3.2 m) and
the number of living units be increased by 35.
That resident's concerns about speeding along Cardinal Drive and queuing of vehicles
at the Thorold Stone Road and Cardinal Drive intersection be referred back to staff for
further review.
Margaret McGregor, Cardinal Drive resident, speaking on behalf of several
neighbours, advised they are opposed to the proposal being brought forward, which will
add congestion to the area. The residents were accepting of the original proposal. She
has concerns regarding the entrance and exit, considering the use of Cardinal Drive as
a thoroughfare.
Lazarus Nyaundi, resident of Cardinal Drive, expressed concern with the
proposed number of units and increased traffic in the area.
Terry Pollowy, resident of Cardinal Drive, is opposed to the proposed retirement
home and would like to see something smaller. She questions the ability of emergency
access.
Francesco Romeo, a Fox Drive resident, expressed concern with the size of the
proposed retirement home. Mr. Romeo would like to see it at a maximum of 4 storeys in
order to maintain some privacy in his backyard.
Mildred Aguilar, a Cardinal Drive resident expressed concern with the increase of
cars in the area, the loss of privacy for her and the extended height of the retirement
home.
Vince Liao, a Cardinal Drive resident, backs onto the proposed retirement home.
Mr. Liao has issues with the height of the building and loss of privacy.

Council Minutes
July 28, 2015
Walter Pollowy, a Cardinal Drive resident, is opposed to the increased size of the
proposal.
Ernest Smith, a Cardinal Drive residents, feels his concerns were not heard at
the open house. He has concerns regarding increased illumination and feels more
residents means more staff and possible on -street parking.
Ken Dakin, Planner representing the applicant, was in agreement with the staff
report and recommendations. He confirmed that it is the same applicant as the original
approved proposal. The increased proposal is based on their efforts to diversify the
types of care the retirement home will accommodate. He outlined that they have more
parking than required under the by-law, parking will be underground and they have
large setbacks from adjacent properties. The applicant will work with the neighbours
during the site plan process.
Rod Wilson, CEO of Reichmann Seniors Housing, outlined the company's
facilities in the Region, including the former Kerrio Place. The additional units will go
toward memory care. He is confident that the facility will be aesthetically pleasing and a
welcomed addition to the neighbourhood.
The Public Meeting was Closed.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor loannoni, seconded by Councillor
Morocco that the application be denied.
