PLANNING MATTERS
PD- 2010 -72 - 26T -11- 2010 -02 & AM- 2010 -0121, Revised Zoning By -law Amendment
Application, Deerfield Estates Phase 9 Draft Plan of Subdivision. Kalar Road ( West
Side), South of Lundy's Lane. Owner: River Realty Development (1976) Inc. ( Stewart
Branscombe)
The Director of Planning and Development reviewed the recommendations and
provided the following information.
The applicant has requested approval of a draft plan of subdivision and a zoning
amendment to permit the development of 16.36 ha (40.4 ac) of land with a subdivision of
207 single detached lots and 4 blocks for townhouses and apartment buildings.
The application was deferred by Council at its July 19, 2010 meeting.
Council requested staff and the applicant to consider moving the apartment blocks away
from Kalar Road in response to public comments and investigate road widenings.
This report addresses the changes investigated.
Planning Analysis
Subdivision Design Alternatives
The Official Plan directs apartment buildings to locations at the periphery of
neighbourhoods and close to commercial areas with convenient access to arterial roads
so as to limit potential adverse affects on lower order streets and land uses. Sites located
close to designated commercial lands are allowed to be developed with apartment
buildings up to 6 storeys in height and 100 u /ha in density.
In response to Council's direction on July 19, 2010, staff met with the developer to discuss
alternative subdivision layouts and zoning amendments.
1. Move apartment blocks further into subdivision and replace with townhouses or
single detached dwellings fronting onto a new internal road.
Advantage: will provide lower building heights on sites along Kalar Road;
Disadvantage: will create reverse lot frontages along Kalar Road with undesirable,
unattractive and a 'no- man's -land' streetscape and will place the longest side of an
apartment building next to single detached dwellings inside the subdivision.
2. Move apartment blocks further into subdivision and replace with townhouses or
single detached dwellings fronting with driveways off of Kalar Road.
3 August 30, 2010
Council Minutes
Advantage: room for lower building heights along Kalar Road
Disadvantage: will introduce additional driveways onto a future 4 lane arterial road
which is undesirable and can create unsafe traffic conditions.
3. Leave apartment blocks adjacent to Kalar Road, but rotate them to face onto Street
Advantage: none
Disadvantage: will create massing impacts with the long side of an apartment
building in front of the existing residences.
4. Reduce the apartment building heights to 3 storeys
Advantage: apartment buildings will be of a height and built form similar to what
has already been built on Kalar Road (Bethlehem Place). Does not require any
changes to the plan.
Disadvantage: to meet the required densities, buildings with either larger footprints
or compact units will have to be built. This may effect the types of projects that
could be developed on these blocks.
As the first 3 alternatives listed previously will have negative impacts, the location of the
blocks as originally proposed by the applicant provide the following advantages:
• The apartment buildings would have direct access to an arterial road (Kalar Rd)
without the need to utilize local streets;
► The apartment buildings would be within walking distances of existing and proposed
commercial facilities;
► An adequate separation distance is provided from the dwellings on the east side of
Kalar Rd. Kalar Road is intended to function as a four lane arterial road with a 30
m width; and
► The orientation of the apartment blocks in an east/west direction will result in the
narrower facades being oriented towards the residences on the east side of Kalar
Road. This orientation affords a more generous skyview between the buildings.
Zoning Alternatives
In response to the concerns expressed by the area residents, the applicant proposes to
increase the front yard setback for the proposed apartment dwellings along Kalar Road
from the standard 7.5 m to 15 m which would:
► provide a greater separation from the dwellings on the east side of Kalar Road.
► result in a separation distance of at least 45m (150 ft) between the apartment
buildings and the front lot lines of the dwellings on the east side of Kalar Road. A
length to height ratio in excess of 2:1 would be achieved. A minimum length to
height ratio of 1:1 between medium rise and low rise buildings is generally viewed
as acceptable.
► allow for a berm and intensive landscaping in the front yard which would assist in
screening the new development from Kalar Road.
The amending by -law should include a provision requiring a minimum landscape strip of
7.5m between the building and the street.
Although not one of the options listed above, reducing the height of the buildings to 3
storeys is an acceptable option provided a minimum density of 66 u /ha is achieved.
(Bethlehem Place was developed at 72 u /ha)
If Council determines that the building height should be limited to 3 storeys, the standard
front yard setback should be maintained at 7.5 m and the lot coverage increased from 30%
to 40% to provide the future builder more flexibility in design.
Road Widenings
Kalar Road is identified in the City's OP as an arterial road that is to be widened to 30m
to accommodate expected development. This width will accommodate a 4 lane road
cross - section. The traffic is being generated by new development in the Garner
Neighbourhood and commercial development in the Niagara Square area.
The width of the right of way will have to be increased by approximately 10m to
accommodate the additional lanes.
To date, road widenings have been dedicated on both sides of Kalar Road, south of the
lands. A 3 m wide road widening has been dedicated on the west side of Kalar Road
between the subject lands and McLeod Road through registration of plans of subdivisions.
A 3m road widening is proposed to be obtained along Kalar Rd frontage of the proposed
subdivision.
An Environmental Assessment will be undertaken to determine the necessary road cross
section and alignment and any further property requirements prior to the reconstruction of
Kalar Rd.
Public notification and participation in the process will occur
Stormwater Management
4 August 30, 2010
Council Minutes
The westerly portion of the plan of subdivision (84 single detached lots) is within the
Beaverdams Creek watershed area. Stormwater from this portion of the plan is to be
directed to stormwater facilities in the Edgewood Estates Plan of Subdivision. The balance
of the subdivision is within the Warren Creek watershed area.
Although it was noted in the previous report that stormwater in this area is to be services
by facilities to be constructed or upgraded in the future, a limited number of Tots in this
watershed (Lots 17 to 58 inclusive and 162 & 163) can be serviced at this time. The
balance of the Tots and blocks within this Warren Creek watershed area (including Lots 59
to 131 inclusive, Lots 156 to 161 inclusive and Blocks 208 -211 inclusive) should be subject
to a holding (H) symbol until the necessary stormwater facility upgrades are completed.
Conclusion
Requested approval of a draft plan of subdivision and a zoning amendment to permit the
development of a subdivision with 207 single detached lots and 4 blocks for multiple unit
residences
The request can be supported for the following reasons:
• The proposal complies with Provincial and Regional policies with respect to
providing compact development in greenfield areas;
► The proposal complies with the Official Plan with respect to the location of higher
density residential developments and with the Garner Neighbourhood Secondary
• Increasing the minimum building setbacks for the apartment buildings from Kalar
Road from 7.5 m to 15 m will provide a greater separation from the existing
dwellings on the east side
► The plan of subdivision will provide a logical extension to previous phases of
Deerfield Estates.
Recommendation
5 August 30, 2010
Council Minutes
That the Deerfield Estates Ph 9 Plan of Subdivision be draft approved, subject to the
conditions in the attached appendix.
That the Mayor or designate be authorized to sign the draft plan as "approved" 20 days
after notice of Council's decision has been given as required by the Planning Act, provided
no appeals of the decision have been lodged.
That draft approval be given for three years after which approval will lapse unless an
extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council.
That the revised application to amend the Zoning By -law be approved as detailed in staff
report (PD- 2010 -60) to provide the necessary land use regulations to guide the
development of the subdivision, subject to the apartment dwellings being set back a
minimum of 15m from Kalar Road, and the application of a holding (H) symbol to the
easterly portion of the subdivision to secure stormwater management facilities and a
Record of Site Condition for part of Block 210.
That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Subdivision Agreement and
any required documents to allow for the future registration of the subdivision when all
matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City solicitor.
Deby O'Connor, 6050 Kalar Road, requested higher density beside the commercial
property. She requested that Council try and lessen the impact of the development through
landscape mitigation. She also wanted the retention of trees on the east side of Kalar
Road.
Victor Muratori, agent for the applicant, indicated that the removal of trees has to
do with the road design and not his client's subdivision design. He pointed out that s.
51(24) of the Planning Act, mandates looking at the welfare of future residents, not just
current ones. Mr. Muratori outlined the setbacks being proposed and the offer of five feet
to the municipality. He indicated that any further set back would necessitate parking for
the apartment building adjacent to single dwelling lots. Mr. Muratori pointed out that the
location of the apartment buildings cannot change based on the Provincial Policy
Statement and Official Plan. He gave the opinion that a higher, thinner building would be
preferable to a shorter, denser building.
The Public Meeting was Closed.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor Fisher, seconded by Councillor Mayes that
the recommendation report be approved with amendments that staff have further
discussions with the developer regarding the offer of 5 feet and that the residents be
involved in the site plan for the apartment blocks.
