PLANNING MATTERS
PD- 2011 -11 - AM -2011 -001, Zoning By -law Amendment Application. 5547 -5559
Portage Road and Part of 5895 North Street. Applicant: B & A Rental Properties Inc.
Agent: Richard Brady. Proposed 3 Storey Commercial Building
The Director of Planning and Development reviewed the recommendations and
provided the following information.
Proposal
0.25 ha (0.63 ac) known as 5547 & 5559 Portage Rd and part of 5895 North St
Zoned Residential Apartment 5B Density (R5B) in part, Neighbourhood Commercial (NC)
in part and Institutional (I) in part.
Rezoning to a site specific General Commercial (GC) zone.
In December 2010, Council considered and refused a zoning amendment by the applicant
to permit a 5- storey medical building with the same range of uses
Neighbourhood Open House Meeting
Open House meeting was held on January 27, 2011, attended by 4 residents.
Residents noted they preferred the proposed 3- storey building as opposed to the previous
5- storey proposal.
Residents had questions regarding the architecture of the building; snow clearing; fencing;
landscaping and lighting. They were advised that these issues would be dealt with at the
Site Plan Review stage. The owners were open to discussing the site plan details with the
residents.
Concern was expressed about a possible methadone clinic locating within the building.
The owner assured the residents that there would not be a methadone clinic within the
building and that he would have his own medical practice within the building.
Proponent submitted a 400 name petition in support of the medical building.
Planning Analysis
Official Plan
Designated Residential and Special Policy Area 1
Special Policy Area 1 allows uses that are compatible with or ancillary to the Greater
Niagara General Hospital.
New development is to be designed and integrated to achieve compatibility with
surrounding uses in terms of density, height gradation, building mass, setbacks and
appearance.
Proposed building will contain mainly medical offices.
A portion of the building will be used for a small pharmacy outlet and coffee bar which is
intended to be ancillary to the main medical office use.
Zoning
Requested site specific General Commercial (GC) zone.
The height of the proposed building is slightly taller than what is currently permitted (12
metres versus 10 metres). The minor increase in height can be mitigated by providing
additional side yard setbacks.
- 3 - February 14, 2011
Council Minutes
The following are recommended standards to be included in the by -law:
► minimum side yard width of 4.5 m;
► 6 m front yard setback from Portage Rd.
► 3 m wide landscape strip along the front lot line (except the driveway);
► 1.5 m wide landscape strip along the lot lines that abut residential dwellings;
► board -on -board fence with a minimum height of 1.8 m.
► loading space can be reduced to 6 m in length.
These recommended standards will require some redesign of the building and parking
area.
Site Plan
Site plan control will address such items as lot grading, drainage, servicing, measures to
buffer adjacent properties, including fencing and tree planting and ensuring lighting does
not impact on surrounding properties.
The applicant has indicated that parking control gates may be installed at the entrance off
Portage Road.
CITY'S STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Approval of this application will satisfy Council's strategic priorities of intensifying medical
services in close proximity to the hospital, attracting physicians to the City to better serve
area residents and take advantage of existing infrastructure capacities.
Conclusion
The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to permit the property to be developed
with a 3- storey building containing medical offices, ancillary retail and a coffee shop.
The proposal can be supported as follows:
► Proposed building height is not out of character for the area;
► Recommended setbacks and landscaping will minimize impacts on the surrounding
properties; and,
► The addition of this facility will enhance medical services in close proximity to the
Greater Niagara General Hospital.
Recommendation
That Council approve the application to rezone the lands a site specific General
Commercial (GC) zone to permit a 3- storey medical building with a limited range of uses,
subject to the standards recommended in the staff report.
Rob Moreau, 5910 Prospect Street, although the application has reduced the
number of storeys, he is still not in support of this application as the building is now moved
closer to his property.
Andrew Bynkoski, 5904 Prospect Street, has his property backing onto the proposed
area, he doesn't feel the proposed changes will help his issues of privacy.
Bill French, 5928 Prospect Street, expressed his concerns with the parking lot facing
his backyard. Mr. French was concerned of the high volume of cars that will access the
parking lot.
- 4 - February 14, 2011
Council Minutes
Jim McBurney, 5525 & 5533 Prospect Street, expressed concerns with the previous
application's appeal to the OMB, the loss of his privacy, lack of green space, fencing of the
property and the hours of operation for the clinic.
Jeff Aird, 3446 Notre Dame Court, was in favor of this proposal, as a medical
practitioner, he believes it is the ideal location and makes sense to have all the services
centralized near the hospital.
Rick Brady, Planner, provided Council with an update on the proposed changes to
the development to a 3- storey building. Mr. Brady asked for Council's consideration of this
application and assured Council that his applicant would not proceed with the OMB appeal
of the 5- storey building if granted approval for this application. The applicant also was
present and distributed a petition with approximately 30 signatures from Doctors in favor
of the application. Mr. Brady outlined the proposed fencing and landscaping.
Dr. Bartel Le Roux, one of the proponents, indicated that the facility would specialize
in orthopaedics and attract people from throughout the Region. He also pointed out that
the nearby professional building is six storeys.
The Public Meeting was Closed.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor Thomson, seconded by Councillor Kerrio
that the report be approved, as recommended, and that the amending by -law not be
approved until the current OMB appeal has been withdrawn by the applicant.
Carried Unanimously
PD- 2011 -09 - AM- 2011 -024, Zoning By -law Amendment Application. 5043 Centre
Street. Applicant: Ann Louise De Giorgio. Elimination of Parking Requirements for
Certain Uses.
The Director of Planning and Development reviewed the recommendations and
provided the following information.
Proposal
701 sq m (7545 sq ft) of land known as 5043 Centre Street
The proposal involves the redevelopment of a property containing an older home, formerly
used as a restaurant. The older home is intended to be demolished and replaced with a
new building to be used as a 140 seat restaurant.
Applicant is requesting the following:
► An exemption from requiring the provision of parking;
► An allowance for a required loading space to be 6 m in length rather than 9 m;
► A required exterior side yard setback to be established at the limits of Ellen Avenue
after the road widening that is needed.
Neighbourhood Open House Meeting
► Held on January 11, 2011
► No members of the public attended the meeting to hear about the proposal of
express comments.
Circulations Comments
Transportation Services
Support this proposal based on the recommended parking rates as per the Tourist Area
Parking Demand Study with the shortfall of parking met through cash -in -lieu of parking
contributions.
A 1.5 metre road widening is required along the length of Ellen Avenue.
- 5 - February 14, 2011
Council Minutes
A 5 m X 5 m daylight triangle at the corner of Ellen Avenue and Centre Street.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
Cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication (2 %) is required.
Planning Analysis
Official Plan
Subject lands are designated Tourist Commercial (TC) in the Official Plan and are part of
the Clifton Hill Tourist Subdistrict. Lands in this district are intended to be used for a wide
variety of tourist related uses.
The Official Plan provides for reductions in parking requirements for individual uses, as
determined by a comprehensive review.
A Tourist Area Parking Demand Study was completed last year.
A staff report on the study was deferred by Council to allow further consultation with the
public and tourist operators.
This comprehensive study recommends that parking requirements for individual
restaurants be significantly reduced, but not eliminated. Although the study has not yet
been endorsed by Council, the findings still serve as an indication of the need for parking
and the more lenient provisions of the study (1 parking space per 10 seats) have been
applied in the analysis of this application.
Zoning
The applicant has requested the requirement to `not provide parking' .
Exemptions from parking were granted by Council for Antica Pizza (Victoria Avenue) and
the plaza at 5930 -5936 Victoria Avenue in 2010, without the requirement of payment of
cash -in -lieu of parking.
The Parking Demand Study recommended reductions in parking ratios for many of the
uses within the tourist core, including restaurants.
This study was consistent with the OP which provides that parking reductions are to be
determined as a result of a comprehensive study.
Current zoning standards would require a total of 28 spaces for the proposed restaurant.
The Tourist Area Parking Demand Study recommends a standard of 1 parking space per
10 seats in a restaurant. Based on the recommended standard, a total of 14 parking
spaces would be required for the restaurant.
The site plan shows that 6 spaces can be provided on the property, however, 1 space
would be lost due to road widening and 1 space for a loading area.
Staff is recommending the parking standard from the Tourist Area Parking Demand Study
be used and the shortfall of 10 spaces be addressed through a payment of cash -in -lieu of
parking.
Section 40 of the Planning Act allows for an opportunity for relief from a parking
requirement of a municipal by -law, in the form of cash -in -lieu agreement. Cash -in -lieu of
parking has been used for other properties in this area that cannot provide the required
parking for uses on the property.
Although not requiring cash -in -lieu for this property may seem insignificant, waiving cash -
in -lieu requirements will compromise funding when the municipality is required to construct
additional parking in the future.
- 6 - February 14, 2011
Council Minutes
Staff has no concerns with the other site specific standards sought by the applicant. The
applicant proposes a loading area 6 m in length whereas 9 m is required; and,
Minimum setback from the original centreline of Ellen Avenue be reduced from 10 m to
7.62 m.
City's Strategic Priorities
The redevelopment of the subject property represents a positive redevelopment that is
supported from a land use planning perspective. The redevelopment will satisfy Council's
strategic priority by providing infill development within the tourist core that utilizes existing
infrastructure capacity.
Adherence to the cash -in -lieu parking policy is in keeping with the strategic priority of
Convenient, Accessible and Sustainable Transportation which indicates that the
municipality continue the parking operations based on a user -pay philosophy.
Conclusion
The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to be exempted from required parking.
Staff can support the reduction in parking based on the following:
Recommendation
That Council approve the request to eliminate required parking, contingent upon the
parking shortfall of 10 parking spaces being made up through a payment of cash -in -lieu
of parking. This recommendation can be implemented over a 5 year period.
Italia Gilberti, Broderick & Partners, on behalf of the applicant, advised Council of
similar properties in the area that have been granted parking exemptions. Ms. Gilberti
requested that Council consider her client's request to allow 6 metres for the loading
space, rather than 9 metres. Also, that the minimum setback from Ellen Avenue be
reduced from 10 metres to 7.62 metres.
The Public Meeting was Closed.
ORDERED on the motion of Councillor Thomson, seconded by Councillor loannoni
that the report be approved eliminating the cash -in -lieu of parking and the loading space
and setback minimums be adjusted to 9 metres and 7.62 metres, respectively.

- 8 - February 14, 2011
Council Minutes
Conclusion
The zoning amendment to permit a semi - detached dwelling can be supported as follows:
► The proposal represents a modest intensification of use as supported by Provincial
policies; and,

that is compatible with surrounding development.
Recommendation
That Council approve the application to rezone the land to a site specific Residential Single
Family and Two Family (R2) zone to permit the construction of a semi - detached dwelling,
subject to the regulations addressed in the staff report.
Margaret Julian, 6511 Dunn Street, speaking on behalf of her mother, expressed
concern with the garages on the property. She believes they are close to the road and
wondered if they could be pushed further back, as there is plenty of room in the rear of the
property.
Svetlana Dianova, 6491 Dunn Street, is concerned about the size, location and
drainage of the proposed neighbouring semi detached dwelling in relation to her historical
house.
Camine Spadafora, 6501 Dunn Street, requested that the side yard setback for the
proposed 2 storey dwelling be reduced from 1.8 metres to 1.2 metres.
