Chair, John Oldfield, welcomed everyone present and called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Declarations of Interest NIL Presentations NIL Delegations - NIL Minutes of Previous Meeting Moved by: Amy Barnes Seconded by: Nelson Cecilia THAT the minutes of the July 19, 2018 meeting of the Cambridge Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee be considered for errors and omissions and be adopted. CARRIED Staff requested report 2 on the agenda be addressed first as the property owners were present to address any questions. The Chair agreed. Reports 1.

36 Page 2 of 4 Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee September 20, 2018 John Oldfield welcomed the property owners who were present to answer any questions from the MHAC. Laura Waldie noted the Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment was requested for this particular proposal because a variance application will likely be required for the placement of the garage in relation to the property line. A variance application on, or adjacent to, a property on the Heritage Properties Register triggers a Heritage Impact Assessment. A secondary reason for the HIA was because of the property s prominent location adjacent to the Part V designated Dickson Hill Heritage Conservation District. There were no questions or concerns from the MHAC to the owners. Moved by: Kimberly Livingstone Seconded by: Nancy Woodman THAT the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee accepts the findings in the Heritage Impact Assessment for the garage addition at 45 James St. as prepared by Robinson Heritage Consulting, dated August AND THAT the MHAC has no concerns with a minor variance from Zoning By-law as amended, which may be required to allow the accessory garage to be located on the north, James Street side of the property. CARRIED 2. Request to Alter a Designated Property: Restaurant Sign 39 Queen Street East. File No: R The MHAC discussed concerns regarding height, colour and scale of the proposed sign. Several members noted the sign should not obscure the spindles on the porch above the proposed location and that the end portions of the sign with no lettering could be reduced in width. It was determined the sign should balance in size with the existing sign currently in place for The Wellness Team on Queen and it is recommended the background colour of the sign be less stark. Moved by: Amy Barnes Seconded by: Nancy Woodman THAT the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee (MHAC) recommends that Council approve the request to alter the property municipally known as 39 Queen Street East by mounting a restaurant sign on the front façade verandah; AND THAT the MHAC has no concerns with the variance required to the Sign By-law to permit the size of the sign; ECM\Planning Services\Committees\MHAC\MHAC Agendas and Minutes\Minutes\2018 Minutes\September\09_20_2018 MHAC Minutes

Lastly, Central Church is waiting to hear how much funding they will receive from the federal government to help pay for the required work on the war memorial stained glass window. The Region is waiting to hear how much the federal government is willing to pay before commiting to an amount themselves. All involved in the project are hoping to have a clear picture shortly. Sunrise Glass from London, Ontario has committed to doing the work once they have the go ahead. A new committees by-law was adopted by Council this week which covers advisory committees. Going forward, advisory committee members appointments will be on a 4 year cycle coinciding with the term of Council.

Development Review Heritage Impact Assessments (HIAs) for development applications pertaining to heritage properties were reviewed by the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee (MHAC) in As the City continues to grow and infill development becomes more prevalent, the MHAC will see an increasing advisory role to Council in development applications related to heritage properties. The City s Official Plan states that when a development proposal potentially impacts a cultural heritage resource that is either designated or listed on the Heritage Properties Register, a HIA shall be required. A HIA may be scoped or waived by either Council or MHAC. Between November, 2017 and October 2018, the MHAC considered three Heritage Impact Assessments connected to development applications and one HIA addendum. A list of those HIAs, plus the reason the HIA was submitted is as follows: Address Application Heritage Scoped or Full HIA Status Byng Avenue Severance Listed Full St Andrews Severance Listed Full Street St Andrews Design of new Listed Scoped Street (Addendum) home on severed lot James Street Minor variance for garage Listed Scoped There were also HIAs reviewed by the MHAC that were not associated with a development application.

Funding for Heritage Properties Since 2004, Council has approved an amount of $30,000 within the Operating Budget which allows for up to six matching grants of $5,000 each to be awarded through the Designated Heritage Property Grant Program. This program is available to eligible conservation projects on Part IV and Part V designated properties throughout the city.

All eight grant requests were approved. In total, $30,000 has been allocated for As of the writing of this report, four of the property owners have submitted their paid invoices to the City for the grant.

Unused grant money is placed into the Heritage Conservation Reserve Fund for future projects. 5. Designations Between November 2017 and October 2018, there have been no requests for designation. The Senior Planner Heritage regularly responds to property owner inquiries about the designation process. 6. Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Reviews Members of MHAC participate in various municipal projects including Class Environmental Assessment (EAs). MHAC continues to be involved in the following Municipal Class EAs when required: Riverside Dam Class EA On March 6, 2018, Engineering staff presented the preferred alternative for the Riverside Dam Class EA to General Committee. The preferred alternative was to remove the existing dam and re-naturalize the Speed River. On March 27, 2018, Council directed staff to rebuild the dam rather than remove the dam and renaturalize. On June 26, 2018, Engineering staff presented a report to General Committee recommending that Council direct staff to post the Notice of Completion for the EA with this recommendation. There have been five Part II Orders (bump up request) received for this EA. Dundas Street (Hespeler Road to Elgin Street) EA The Dundas Street EA proposes a road widening of Dundas Street from Hespeler Road to Elgin Street. The Dundas Street EA has been delayed by the Region to The MHAC will be kept up to date when the project begins again in 2019.

On May 15, 2017 Council recommended support for the LRT through Cambridge with the exception of the part from Shantz Hill to Eagle Street. Council suggested that options in that area be further evaluated to reduce property impacts. The Region of Waterloo is now investigating alternative routes and will be revising the cultural heritage assessment to reflect any changes to affected properties. That cultural heritage assessment is expected to be complete in the spring of The MHAC will be involved in the review of that document once it has been submitted to the City. 7. Road Reconstruction Projects Road reconstruction projects that are pre-approved in the Class Environmental Assessment process do occur in areas containing built heritage resources which are listed on the City s Heritage Register. This year, the Community Development Department began putting together a plan to reconstruct Salisbury Avenue and Wentworth Avenue in the Dickson Hill Heritage Conservation District (HCD). This project proposes to replace water main and sewer lines as well as add sidewalks along the north side of Salisbury Avenue from Lansdowne Road North to Victoria Park. A PIC was held on May 16, 2018 and was attended by members of the MHAC and the Senior Planner Heritage. The next steps are to get the project to a 70% complete design phase and take the plans to the public and the MHAC by spring, The Blair Road Reconstruction project design was finalized in July, This project included a compromise solution regarding sidewalk widths and boulevard widths. The compromise was to widen the sidewalks on the lower block of Blair Road to have them consistent with the upper half of the block. The compromise also included the installation of pavers along some sections of the street to replace narrowed boulevard widths. The compromise solution was reached by representatives of the Accessibility Advisory Committee, the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee and the Blair Road Reconstruction Neighbourhood Committee. The compromise was presented to Council and approved on July 10, The project, subject to funding, is scheduled to commence in Heritage Properties Register Update So far in 2018, no properties have been added to the Heritage Properties Register. The Register content and wording continues to be updated in 2018 in order to be in

54 (CD) ATTACHMENT 1 MHAC 2018 Annual Report Page 5 compliance with the Ontario Heritage Act. Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act states that: Contents of register (1.1) The register kept by the Clerk shall list all property situated in the municipality that has been designated by the municipality or by the Minister under this Part and shall contain, with respect to each property, (a) a legal description of the property; (b) the name and address of the owner; and (c) a statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the property. 2005, c.6, s.15. (1.2) In addition to the property listed in the register under subsection (1.1), the register may include property that has not been designated under this Part but that the council of the municipality believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest and shall contain, with respect to such property, a description of the property that is sufficient to readily ascertain the property. 2005, c.6, s.15. The Clerk s Office has determined that publishing the names of designated properties owners as part of the Register is a Freedom of Information concern. Therefore, the online version of the Register will be updated to only include: property address legal descriptions; and a statement of cultural heritage value of the property. Also, references to Landmark Series are being removed from entries and replaced with statements of cultural heritage value. The Landmark Series was a regular weekly feature of the Cambridge Times which provided a brief architectural description and historical information about properties that were on the Heritage Properties Register. This feature no longer runs in the Cambridge Times. These changes to the Register are on-going and will continue over the next year. 9. Heritage Plaque Program The City has a Heritage Landmark Plaque Program where all Part IV designated properties receive a brass plaque which is affixed to the front façade of the building. In late 2017, Planning staff found a new contractor to install several plaques that were ordered as far back as Between September and December 2017, eight plaques

55 (CD) ATTACHMENT 1 MHAC 2018 Annual Report Page 6 have been installed. As of the writing of this report, a further five plaques are to be installed by November, Old Post Office The City of Cambridge purchased the Old Post Office, a designated heritage building, in 2012 with the intent to re-purpose the building for additional programming space for the Cambridge Public Library. In 2016, construction of the additions and the restoration of the existing building began. The project was completed in late June, 2018 and the grand opening was held on July 6, The building has been renamed the Old Post Office Idea Exchange. The final Old Post Office Construction Steering Committee meeting is scheduled to be held on October 30, 2018 to wrap up the project. The building was featured on the September 15, 2018 Doors Open schedule and attracted 927 visitors. 11. Grand River Heritage Day Workshop The Annual Heritage Day Workshop was held at the Wilfrid Laurier campus in Waterloo on February 16, This year s focus was on the economics of heritage conservation. Devon Hogue, Business Information Officer for the City, gave a presentation highlighting the positive financial impact of Cambridge s heritage building stock for the film industry. No members of MHAC attended this workshop. The 2019 Grand River Heritage Day Workshop location is yet to be determined. 12. Demolition Control for Residential Units The Senior Planner - Heritage continues to review applications through the Demolition Control By-law prior to the issuance of a permit. Between November, 2017 and September 2018, there were five residential demolition applications processed. None of these properties were on the Heritage Properties Register. A demolition control permit is not issued until a building permit for a replacement structure is issued. The Senior Planner-Heritage prepared a report to the Planning and Development Committee to request that the Demolition Control By-law be repealed because the Bylaw is not an effective tool to conserve established neighbourhoods. In 2005, substantial changes were made to the Ontario Heritage Act, which included the 60 day waiting period on the demolition of listed properties of interest on a Heritage Register. Because the Ontario Heritage Act now has restrictions on the demolition of both designated and listed properties of interest, the Demolition Control By-law is not required and is in fact ineffective to further protect heritage buildings. The staff report was recommended to Council for approval at the October 9, 2018 Planning and

56 (CD) ATTACHMENT 1 MHAC 2018 Annual Report Page 7 Development Committee. Council is expected to make a decision on the repeal on November 6, Doors Open Waterloo Region Event The 16 th Annual Doors Open Waterloo Region was held on September 15, 2018 with an Infrastructure theme. Of the 34 sites throughout the Region, eight sites were located in Cambridge including: the Old Post Office Idea Exchange; Central Presbyterian Church; the Pedestrian Bridge; and the South Waterloo Agricultural building. The total number of visits recorded at Cambridge sites was 4, Galt Core Heritage Conservation District Planning Study As directed by Council on February 20, 2018, the Senior Planner-Heritage conducted a Galt Core HCD Planning Study to determine if there was enough information and public support to move forward with a HCD Study under Section 40(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. A stakeholder consultation process with property owners, development industry representatives, the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee (MHAC), Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) Cambridge and the Galt Business Improvement Association (BIA), and First Nations was undertaken to determine the level of public interest for a Galt Core Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study. This public consultation process included: A Question and Answer sheet explaining what a HCD was and what it means for a property owner; A questionnaire asking land owners and the public what is important to them in terms of heritage conservation; A process flow chart describing the steps to creating a HCD and where we are now in that process; and A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on Monday, May 28, 2018 to receive public and stakeholder feedback on whether to move forward with a HCD Study under the Ontario Heritage Act. The Senior Planner-Heritage prepared a report which was recommended to Council for approval at Planning and Development Committee on October 9, Council is expected to make a decision on November 6, 2018.

57 (CD) ATTACHMENT 1 MHAC 2018 Annual Report Page Heritage Permit Review Process If a property owner wishes to make alterations to the exterior of a designated building, the owner is encouraged to contact the Senior Planner Heritage to discuss the proposal. Currently, the City of Cambridge issues permits for alterations to designated properties through the building permit system under the Ontario Building Code Act (Building Code). However, some types of exterior work do not require a building permit under the Building Code. For example, changing roof materials, cladding materials or windows do not require a building permit, but are considered alterations under the Ontario Heritage Act. The objective of this review will determine how the City can review requests to alter a heritage building which is not regulated under the Ontario Building Code. The pros and cons of a heritage permit process will be examined as part of the analysis. A property owner consultation process will be part of the analysis. The Senior Planner-Heritage will prepare a recommendation report to the MHAC by late spring 2019, which will be forwarded to Committee/Council by June Designation Appeal for 285 Ainslie Street South In September 2015, the MHAC recommended that Council designate the former residence of Galt s first Mayor, Andrew Elliott, at 285 Ainslie Street South. Council directed the Clerk to publish a Notice of Intention to Designated November The designation was appealed by the property owner in January, 2016 and the matter referred to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing. The Senior Planner-Heritage worked with Planning staff, Legal Services staff and the property owner to find a compromise to address the owner s parking needs while conserving the heritage structure in situ. In April 2018, a solution was reached and the appeal was dropped. Council passed the designation by-law in April 2018 to formally designate the property. 17. MHAC Volunteers The MHAC reviewed and advised Council on a variety of cultural heritage matters in MHAC members are an enthusiastic, hard working group of citizens with expertise from architectural design, heritage consulting, carpentry and woodworking, window glazing, to turn key project management. These volunteers have enthusiastically given their time and expertise to assist the City in efforts to ensure the community s heritage resources are protected for the future. MHAC members participate in more than the monthly meetings by carrying out projects and tasks that would not otherwise be completed. They have also conducted a number of site visits throughout the year to meet with developers, members of Council, and property

58 (CD) ATTACHMENT 1 MHAC 2018 Annual Report Page 9 owners on a number of planning issues that involve heritage properties throughout the city. The committee works as a whole to deal with issues such as: advising Council on planning matters as they relate to heritage properties; assisting property owners through the heritage grant process; disseminating information about Heritage Conservation Districts; and sitting on City of Cambridge project subcommittees which have a strong heritage component. Members of the committee also sometimes attend sessions of the Planning and Development Committee and Council as well as Public Information Centre meetings. The value of this volunteer commitment to heritage at the City of Cambridge cannot be overstated.

CEAC 2018 Annual Report and 2019 Work Plan

72 Attachment No. 1 BACKGROUND Cambridge Environmental Advisory Committee 2018 Annual Report The Cambridge Environmental Advisory Committee (CEAC) was formed by Cambridge Council in March CEAC's purpose is to advise Council of ways to protect, maintain and enhance the natural environment in harmony with the built environment. The activities of CEAC are supported by the City's Senior Planner Environment in the Community Development Department Policy Planning Section who acts as the staff liaison person. Staffing responsibility for CEAC s standing subcommittees, Cambridge City Green (and Cambridge WATERS which is currently inactive), is handled by the Sustainability Planner in the Community Development Department Parks and Recreation Division ACCOMPLISHMENTS For 2018, Craig McLeman was once again elected as Chairperson with Brad Hall being elected for a second year in the role of Vice-Chairperson. Alison Fraser, Allison Robson, Connie Cody, Jonas Duarte, Kelly Pritchard, Nicole Semper and Tom VanAarsen continued their membership welcoming new member Lisa Grbinicek in September Councillor Wolf continued as Council's representative in CEAC members Colleen Elm resigned at the end of 2017 and Ashley Gibson resigned in early The major accomplishments of the Committee in 2018 were as follows: 1. Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Reviews CEAC provides local environmental expertise and knowledge to various municipal projects by reviewing projects which are going through a Class Environmental Assessment. CEAC participated in the following ongoing Municipal Class Environmental Assessments in late 2017 and throughout 2018: a) Riverside Dam Public Information Centre (PIC) No. 4 was held in November At this time, members Craig McLeman, Alison Fraser and Nicole Semper provided comments to the Project Manager in support of the preliminary preferred management alternative to naturalize the Speed River as presented at PIC No. 4. In March 2018, CEAC Vice-Chairperson Brad Hall made a delegation to Council in support of naturalization. The Notice of Study Completion in support of rebuilding Riverside Dam was issued July 27, There have been five Part 2 Order (bump up) requests.

73 b) West Cambridge Water System Upgrades Public Consultation Centre (PCC) No. 1 was held in November 2017 to introduce the project and gather public feedback. At this time, members Nicole Semper and Connie Cody provided comments to the Project Manager on the information presented at the PCC. The subcommittee will continue to participate in any further public consultation. c) Region of Waterloo Biosolids Strategy Public Consultation Centre (PCC) No. 2 was held in December At this time, members Craig McLeman, Brad Hall and Alison Fraser provided comments to the Project Manager on the Biosolids Strategy in support of the Preferred Strategy as presented at PCC No. 2. This project was completed in d) East Boundary Road Public Consultation Centre (PCC) No. 3 was held in February At this time, members Kelly Pritchard and Connie Cody provided comments to the Project Manager on the revised Preferred Alignment as presented at PCC No. 3 and identified a number of concerns related to noise, vibration, light, tree removals, road salt, etc. that the Committee would like to see addressed during the subsequent design stage of the project. e) Stage 2 ION LRT Public Consultation Centre (PCC) No. 4 was held in March At this time, members Craig McLeman and Kelly Pritchard provided comments to the Project Manager on the Stage 2 ION Preliminary Proposed Route as presented at PCC No. 4. The subcommittee identified concerns with the Speed River crossing and potential impacts to Mill Creek. The subcommittee will continue to participate in any further public consultation. f) East Side Lands Stage 2 Master Environmental Servicing Plan (MESP) The Region of Waterloo and its partners hosted Public Consultation Centre No. 4 in March 2018 to present a preliminary preferred land use scenario. Members Jonas Duarte and Kelly Pritchard reviewed the information and had no further comments. g) City of Cambridge Transportation Master Plan Public Consultation Centre No. 3 was held in March At this time, member Craig McLeman had no further comments.

74 2. Cambridge City Green Cambridge City Green reflects CEAC s goal to involve Cambridge citizens, schools, businesses, agencies and community organizations in action-oriented projects that promote a sustainable community and individual lifestyles, clean up litter, connect people our environmental features and outdoor places, and plant indigenous vegetation across the city. City Green volunteers have been active in the community since Cambridge City Green and its projects implement the objectives of three goals (Community Well-Being, Environment and Rivers, and Parks and Recreation) within the City of Cambridge Strategic Plan Cambridge Connected. Linda Simpson chairs Cambridge City Green. CEAC members Kelly Pritchard and Allison Robson also served on City Green this year. All CEAC members are encouraged to participate in City Green s events, litter clean ups and tree planting projects. a) Annual Event City Green s Renaissance - going out into the community instead of bringing people to City Hall... This year City Green diverged from the normal annual event format. Throughout the 25- year history, City Green volunteers have mobilized residents and keynote speakers to deliver workshops on timely subjects such as local food, climate change, and our urban forest. City Green also hosted movie nights for several years. This year, the group was focused on moving outside of City Hall into the community and this collection of efforts was named renaissance of City Green. It was important to the group to get out into the community instead of having people sit in the Bowman Room. The prime example of this new direction was City Green s participation in Jane s Walks. Jane s Walks celebrate the life and spirit of Jane Jacobs by having volunteers organize walks on a variety of subjects. The City Green volunteers took up the challenge and the following walks were offered in 2018: The Death and Life of a Great Urban Creek Andrew Ramsaroop We explored the human ecology of a rare coldwater watercourse, Mill Creek, from Soper Park to its mouth along the Grand River, and how the creek has been altered, destroyed, and renewed over the past 200 years. Victoria Park Forest Walk Kelly Pritchard and Laura Pritchard animated the City s new woodlot management plan for Victoria Park and how residents could become involved in implementing it. Living Levee Trail / Flood Walls and the Special Policy Area of Galt Heather Dearlove explored the riverscapes of Galt and illustrated how in the age of

75 bellbottoms the City flooded and afterward a massive public works project followed to prevent future floods and protect the downtown. Cambridge City Green continued to develop a relationship with Reep Green Solutions this year. Reep has been involved with City Green (speakers and displays at City Green workshops, etc.) for twenty years and this year Reep hosted a City Green meeting and provided a tour of their energy efficient house at 20 Mill Street in Kitchener, as well as continue to discuss how the groups can collaborate on urban forest plan outreach to the community. The City Green (City of Cambridge) website and the Meetup City Green site continued to be improved to offer better information and more events to a growing number of followers (i.e. Meetup Site now has 225 followers). Linda Simpson and Diane Day hosted a City Green display booth and clean up event at the first Idea Exchange Earth Day event (Preston). Linda Simpson provided a presentation on City Green to the Preston Horticultural Society. b) Cambridge Community Clean Up In the months that led up to the April event, the group addressed the challenge of hosting 5,000 volunteers in the face of the emerging needle issue. Autumn 2017 clean ups saw almost 3,000 needles collected by various groups across the city. Lessons were learned, training presentations developed, and resources for Organize-Your-Own clean up organizers were produced. The City also contributed a new application which allows a resident to report a needle this application was modified by the City to help the clean up participants notify where their clean up bags were left. This greatly improved bag pickup and will be used in the future. Garbage pickers were handed out at the City Green booths in an additional safety effort. Cambridge Ambassador Team members were available for retrieving needles and the public was advised to allow them to pick up and dispose of needles. City Green volunteers set up six locations across the City to distribute clean up supplies. Almost 4,000 participants and 35 groups were involved in The needle issue did not deter volunteers as City Green normally sees 4,000-6,000 participants each year. c) Cambridge Stewardship Cambridge City Green initiated the Cambridge Stewardship project in 2007 in order to involve community groups in a consistent effort to establish native plants and enhance natural areas in the city. In 2018, only a handful of projects were completed compared to previous years (i.e. 4 projects compared to 12 in the past), no grants were applied to

76 (CNDCF/Ages Foundation, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation), and a key annual event, the TD Tree Day, was not hosted. Projects included the community Dumfries Conservation Area tree planting, Pollinator Preserve planting, Holy Spirit outdoor classroom tree planting, Junior Rangers Day and trout release. A lack of planting sites and capacity of the staff liaison continues to limit the efforts. Public demand and Urban Forest Plan targets would suggest the need to properly resource stewardship capacity in Cambridge. City Urban Forestry contributed significantly to this year s projects. An inventory of tree planting sites is being prepared for the 2019 season.

89 ITEM #9 To: Subject: PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 19 Guelph Avenue/49 Queen Street East Assignment of the Tax Increment Grant (TIG) Meeting Date: 11/06/2018 Report No: (CD) From: Valerie Spring, Senior Planner - Reurbanization File No: D RECOMMENDATIONS THAT Cambridge City Council supports the assignment of the Tax Increment Grant for Parcel A (19 Guelph Avenue) and Parcel C (5 Guelph Avenue) from Riverbank Lots GP Inc. to Riverbank Lofts Limited and Parcel B (49 Queen Street East) from Riverbank Lofts GP Inc. to D.D. 49 Queen Street Ltd. THAT the total joint Tax Increment Grant does not exceed the total amount of $4,161,271 for the City and Regional shares minus any other financial assistance, as approved by Cambridge City Council in November 2013 and re-confirmed in March 2016; AND THAT Council authorizes the Mayor and Clerk to execute any Assignment and Amending agreement with the registered owner of 5 Guelph Avenue, 19 Guelph Avenue, 49 Queen Street East and the Region of Waterloo, with the form and content of such amending agreement to be satisfactory to both the Regional and City of Cambridge Solicitors. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purpose Lands referred to as Parcel B at 49 Queen Street East is in the process of being sold and the new owners of this parcel are requesting a transfer of a portion of the Tax Increment Grant (TIG) to them. The existing TIG agreement requires both City and Regional Council provide written consent prior to assigning the TIG from one owner to another.

90 Key Findings Both Municipal and Regional level staff are recommending approval of the TIG assignment of Parcel B from Riverbank Lofts GP Inc. (HIP Developments) to D.D. 49 Queen Ltd., as HIP Developments is contractually obligated to obtain an assignment in order to sell the property to D.D. 49 Queen Ltd. Financial Implications The property is exempt from City and Regional Development Charges because of its location in the Hespeler Core Area. The TIG is based on the increase in assessed value to cover up to the cost of remediation and is a grant equal to the full amount or a portion of the amount that property taxes increase as a result of the remediation and redevelopment of the site. Based on the eligible remediation costs and the estimated future remediation costs, the total amount of the TIG will not exceed $4,161,274 minus any other financial assistance. BACKGROUND In 2008, the City of Cambridge in cooperation with the Region of Waterloo, established a Joint Tax Increment Grant (TIG) Program to assist property owners with the remediation and redevelopment of contaminated properties in the City of Cambridge. The TIG amount is based on the increase in assessed value to cover up to the cost of remediation. It is a grant equal to the full amount or portion of the amount that property taxes increase after a property is reassessed following the remediation and redevelopment of a property. The subject property is the former American Standard site abutting the Speed River in Hespeler Village. In 2013, a joint TIG was approved for the remediation, redevelopment and reassessment of this property. The Region s portion of the TIG is a maximum of $2,496,764 and the City s portion is a maximum of $1,664,510. In 2016, Cambridge Council approved the assignment of the TIG from a previous owner to the current owners, Riverbank Lofts GP Inc. (HIP Developments). As anticipated, the site has been developed as two phases. The first phase involves land referred to as Parcel B which was redeveloped for an apartment building. The second phase, referred to as Parcel A is the condo conversion of the heritage building. The use for the building on Parcel C has yet to be determined. Parcel B is being sold to D.D. 49 Queen Ltd. by HIP Developments and is eligible to receive TIG proceeds earlier than Parcel A as it is built. HIP Developments is requesting an assignment of a portion of the TIG to D.D. 49 Queen Ltd.

91 The signed agreement between all parties and dated April 2014 requires the express written consent of the City and the Region in order to assign the TIG from one owner to another. ANALYSIS Strategic Alignment: PEOPLE To actively engage, inform and create opportunities for people to participate in community building making Cambridge a better place to live, work, play and learn for all. Goal #1 - Community Wellbeing Objective 1.4 Promote, facilitate and participate in the development of affordable, welcoming and vibrant neighbourhoods. Comments The Tax Increment Grant, in partnership with the Region of Waterloo, provides tax grants to help property owners with the costs associated with environmental clean-up and the redevelopment of contaminated sites. In this case, the assignment of the TIG from one property owner to another is part of the process to redevelop the former American Standard property a key location in the Hespeler Core Area. Existing Policy/By-Law: In order for this site to be redeveloped, it was rezoned from Industrial (M3) to Commercial/Multi-Residential (C1RM2). In addition, the property was the subject of an Official Plan Amendment to redesignate a portion of the site from Flood Way to Flood Fringe. Financial Impact: The Tax increment Grant has a total amount of $4,161,274 minus any other financial assistance. The total City portion is a maximum of $1,664,510. Assignment of the TIG does not impact these total amounts. Public Input: N/A Internal/External Consultation: Planning and Legal staff from the City of Cambridge have worked with the Region of Waterloo to determine the protocol for completing an assignment of a TIG from one owner to another. A parallel report to this one is scheduled to go to Regional Committee on November 6, 2018.

92 CONCLUSION Both municipal and regional level staff are recommending approval of the TIG assignment to in order to facilitate the sale of 49 Queen Street East and the redevelopment of 5 and 19 Guelph Avenue.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purpose The applicant is proposing to combine additional site specific retail and service commercial uses with the current C4 (s4.2.26) site specific zone. Key Findings Current zoning limits the use of the site to retail sale of carpet and flooring coverings only Proposal is to expand retail, office and service commercial uses beyond carpet and flooring sales No additions or site alterations are proposed Financial Implications

96 The costs related to this application will be borne by the applicant

97 BACKGROUND The subject property fronts on the south side of Eagle St N. Surrounding uses consist of commercial and industrial uses to the east, south and west of the subject lands. The subject property contains a 2-storey commercial 741m² (7,986 ft²) building constructed in The property has a lot area of approximately 2507m² (26,985ft²) The current zoning is C4 (s4.2.26), site specific that was previously approved through an Ontario Municipal Board decision from 1998, that limits the use to retail of flooring and carpet product only. The applicant is proposing an office use on both floors; including potential future retail and service commercial uses that are permitted in the C4 Commercial zone. A list additional proposed uses are reviewed in the planning analysis provided in Attachment 1. ANALYSIS Strategic Alignment: PROSPERITY: To support and encourage the growth of a highly competitive local economy where there is opportunity for everyone to contribute and succeed. Goal #1 - Community Wellbeing Objective 6.1 Support the creation and retention of high quality and diverse employment opportunities by becoming the destination of choice for business and entrepreneurship, including helping existing firms thrive and grow. Staff along with the applicant, considered additional retail and service commercial uses that are appropriate for the current lot size and if the proposed uses are compatible. Comments Initially the applicant s proposal is to allow an office use that would occupy both floors of the building. In addition to the office use, the applicant is proposing to include retail, and service commercial uses typically found in the C4 zone. Staff considered additional retail and service commercial uses that are appropriate for the current lot size and that are compatible with surrounding uses. For detailed planning analysis see Attachment 1. Existing Policy/By-Law: City of Cambridge Official Plan (2012) After the public meeting, staff found that the property has two Official Plan designations on the property. The front half of the property is designated as Hespeler Road Mixed- Use Corridor; whereas the back of the property is designated Business Industrial. The Hespeler Road Mixed-Use Corridor designation permits a wide range of commercial

98 activities including business or professional office, while the Business Industrial designation limits commercial uses. In order for the proposed commercial uses to conform to the Official Plan, staff s proposal is to interpret the boundary classification of the Hespeler Road Mixed-Use Corridor to include the entire parcel. Boundaries may be subject to minor variations without amendment to the Official Plan, unless the boundaries are consistent with fixed definable physical features. The boundary extension is considered minor and complies in accordance with Policy and therefore an Official Plan Amendment is not required. For detailed planning analysis see Attachment 1.

99 Cambridge Zoning By-law No , as amended: The subject property is currently zoned Commercial Type 4 (s4.2.26) site specific, which is limited to the retail sales of carpet and floor coverings. The applicant is proposing to include other retail and service commercial uses that are currently permitted in the general C4 - Commercial zone.

102 Attachment No. 1 Detailed Planning Analysis Summary of Development and Planning Application: The subject property fronts on the south side of Eagle St N. Surrounding uses consist of commercial and industrial uses to the east, south and west of the subject lands. The lot contains a 2-storey commercial 741m² (7,986 ft²) building constructed in The property has a lot area of approximately 2507 m² (26,985ft²). The current zoning is C4 (s4.2.26), site specific that was previously approved through an Ontario Municipal Board decision from 1998, that limits the use to retail of flooring and carpet product only. The applicant is proposing an office use on both floors; including potential future retail and service commercial uses that are permitted in the C4 zone. The property has two Official Plan designations on the property. The front half of the property is designated as Hespeler Road Mixed-Use Corridor; whereas the back of the property is designated Business Industrial. The Hespeler Road Mixed-Use Corridor designation permits a wide range of commercial activities including business or professional office, while the Business Industrial designation limits commercial uses. Considering the ongoing use of this entire property for commercial use and associated parking, staff s proposal is to extend the boundary classification of the Hespeler Road Mixed-Use Corridor to include the entire parcel through a minor boundary adjustment as permitted under Official Plan Policy 9.7.8, in order for the proposed commercial uses to conform to the Official Plan. Therefore an Official Plan is not required. Planning Analysis: Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS) Section 2(5) of the Planning Act requires that Council decisions on land use planning matters must be consistent with the PPS. Policy # Policy Response a) promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term; The proposed expansion of commercial uses within an existing building within the built up area of the City that largely caters to existing commercial and retail needs e) promoting cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land The proposed commercial expansion uses existing underutilized land and existing

Planning authorities may permit conversion of lands within employment areas to non-employment uses through a comprehensive review, only where it has been demonstrated that the land is not required for employment purposes over the long term and that there is a need for the conversion. The existing building is currently adequately serviced by surrounding municipal infrastructure. Development of underutilized parcel within the Built-up Area The proposal is taking into account the existing building stock and utilizing an existing lot. The proposal to expand commercial uses and interpret a boundary expansion of an official plan designation is not considered intensification, as the zoning currently allows limited commercial uses and the official plan boundary is not fixed by a definable physical feature. The application is considered to be consistent with the PPS.

120 Financial Implications Costs related to application are borne by developer BACKGROUND The applicant has been granted permission, with conditions, by the Committee of Adjustment to sever the property at 990 Dundas Street into three residential building lots. One of the conditions of approval is to rezone the southern portion of the lands from R4 (Single Residential) to OS1 (Open Space) to protect the existing Moffat Creek wetland and associated buffer area. No site specific zoning provisions have been requested and the concept sketch submitted by the applicant shows building envelopes on the three development lots which conform to the requirements of the R4 Zone. Detailed analysis of Provincial, Regional and City Policies and regulations, supporting documents and agency comments with regards to the lot creation was provided through the report for severance applications B04/18 & B05/18 and further analysis of the Provincial, Regional and City Policies and regulations with regards to the proposed change in zoning to implement the policies of the City of Cambridge Official Plan are provided in Attachment No. 2 below. There were no written or oral submissions received for this application at the statutory public meeting or as a result of the notice of complete application published in the Cambridge Times and circulated to assessed property owners within 120 m (393.7 ft.) of the subject property. Location: The subject lands are legally described as Part Lot 4, Concession 10, Former Twp. Of North Dumfries, Plan , in the City of Cambridge, Regional Municipality of Waterloo. The property is municipally known as 990 Dundas Street South and is located on the south side of Dundas Street South east of Champlain Boulevard and west of Branchton Road.

121 Subject Property Portion to be rezoned The applicant has been granted permission, with conditions, by the Committee of Adjustment to sever the property at 990 Dundas Street into three residential building lots. One of the conditions of approval is to rezone the southern portion of the lands from R4 (Single Residential) to OS1 (Open Space) to protect the existing wetland and associated buffer area. No site specific zoning provisions have been requested and the concept sketch submitted by the applicant shows building envelopes on the three development lots which conform to the requirements of the R4 Zone. The subject property currently contains a single detached dwelling and accessory structure with a portion of the Moffat Creek Wetland and associated buffer in the southern portion. Both the dwelling and accessory structure are to be demolished. The

122 property is surrounded by single detached residential to the west, south and east with open space zoning over a portion of the Moffat Creek Wetland and buffer lands, the Moffat Creek Public Elementary School further to the east and single detached residential, commercial and open space to the north. Proposal The applicant is fulfilling conditions from severance applications B04/18 & B05/18 which granted permission, with conditions, to sever the property into three residential building lots. The applicant has until February 28, 2019 to fulfill all of the conditions or the severance approvals will lapse. Among the conditions included in the Committee of Adjustment s approval is that the applicant apply for, and receive, a demolition control permit to demolish the existing single detached dwelling and rezone the southern portion of the property, containing the wetland and 30 m (98.4 ft.) of buffer from R4 (Single Residential) to OS1 (Open Space). Attachment 1 contains the applicant s concept plan showing the new lots and the proposed change in zoning. ANALYSIS Strategic Alignment: PEOPLE To actively engage, inform and create opportunities for people to participate in community building making Cambridge a better place to live, work, play and learn for all. Goal #4 - Environment and Rivers Objective 4.4 Manage city resources in a responsible and sustainable manner, considering future needs for resiliency and community adaptation. Comments The proposed change in zoning is to implement the policies of the City of Cambridge Official Plan and will result in an existing wetland being zoned for conservation through the Open Space zone rather than allowing development to encroach on the feature and impact it s ecological function as a result of the existing residential zoning. Existing Policy/By-Law: City of Cambridge Official Plan (2012) The 2012 City of Cambridge Official Plan designates the subject lands as Low/Medium Density Residential and Natural Open Space System which permits a range of uses including single detached dwellings to a maximum density of 40 Units Per Hectare

123 (UPH). Each lot is proposed to contain one single detached dwelling with proposed densities of 12.5 UPH for the two smaller lots and 3.5 UPH for the larger lot in the middle. The proposed change in zoning would not require an Official Plan Amendment. City of Cambridge Zoning By-law No , as amended The subject lands are currently zoned R4 (Single Residential) in Zoning By-law No which permits a range of residential uses. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning on the southerly portion of the property from R4 to OS1 (Open Space) to protect the existing wetland and associated buffer lands. Financial Impact: The costs related to this application are borne by the developer. Public Input: The statutory public meeting required under the Planning Act was held on September 11 th, 2018 and official notification was provided in the Cambridge Times on Thursday, August 16, In addition, notice was provided to all assessed property owners within a 120 m (393.7 ft.) radius of the site. No members of the public made oral or written submissions at the public meeting, a question was raised regarding tree protection through the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Internal/External Consultation: The application and supporting information has been circulated to the departments and agencies listed in Attachment No. 3 below. No concerns were raised by any of the agencies or departments. CONCLUSION The applicant has requested to rezone a portion of the subject lands to OS1 (Open Space), as set out above, to facilitate a conditionally approved severance. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshe, the Region of Waterloo Official Plan and the City of Cambridge Official Plan and represents good planning. Detailed Planning Analysis is included in Attachment No. 3.

125 Attachment No. 1 Concept Plan

126 Attachment No. 2 Planning Analysis The proposed change in zoning is a condition of approved severance applications B04/18 & B05/18. The lot creation was analysed through the severance process, this application is only to address a change in zoning from the existing residential to open space to protect the ecological function of the Moffat Creek Wetland as well as establishing a 30 m ( 98.4 ft.) buffer to ensure that development does not impact the existing natural feature. Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS, 2014) Policy 2.1.1, states that natural features and areas shall be protected for the long term Policy 2.1.2, states that The diversity and connectivity of natural features in an area, and the long-term ecological function and biodiversity of natural heritage systems, should be maintained, restored or, where possible, improved, recognizing linkages between and among natural heritage features and areas, surface water features and ground water features. The proposed change in zoning is to facilitate an approved severance with conditions to create two additional residential building lots. The applicant has submitted a Scoped Environmental Impact Statement which identifies the limits of the Moffat Creek wetland as well as the 30 m (98.4 ft.) buffer. The application is to rezone the lands from residential to open space to protect the wetland as well as establishing an appropriate buffer. Accordingly, the proposed amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in staff s opinion facilitates a good opportunity for intensification. Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) The Growth Plan took effect July 1, 2017 and is a Provincial document that provides policy guidance in regards to growth management, transportation, intensification, greenfield development, protection of employment lands, etc. Policy indicates the guiding principles of the plan which, in part, prioritizes intensification and higher densities to make efficient use of land and to support a range and mix of housing options. Policy a) sets out that the vast majority of growth will be directed to settlement areas that: i. Have a delineated built boundary; ii. Have existing or planned municipal water and wastewater systems; and iii. Can support the achievement of complete communities.

127 4.2.2 Natural Heritage System Policy states that Municipalities will incorporate the Natural Heritage System as an overlay in official plans, and will apply appropriate policies to maintain, restore, or enhance the diversity and connectivity of the system and the long-term ecological or hydrologic functions of the features and areas. Within the Natural Heritage System, Policy a.i. states that new development or site alteration will demonstrate that there are no negative impacts on key natural heritage features or key hydrologic features or their functions. The proposal is to rezone the rear portion of the subject property from residential to open space to protect the Moffat Creek wetland. The applicant has submitted a scoped Environmental Impact Statement in support of the related severance applications which clearly identifies the boundaries of the existing wetland as well as identifying a 30 m (98.4 ft.) buffer to try and minimize potential negative impacts from any future development on the ecological function of the wetland. Additionally, the proposed change in zoning meets the Provincial direction for intensification to protect resources and help manage climate change. Accordingly, staff is of the opinion that the proposed Zoning By-law amendment conforms with the 2017 Growth Plan. Region of Waterloo Official Plan (approved with modifications by the Ontario Municipal Board on June 18, 2015) Map 3a entitled Urban Area locates the subject property within an Urban Area in the Region of Waterloo. Lands located within the Urban Area are intended to accommodate the majority of the Region s growth and will be planned and developed in accordance with Sections 2.C (reurbanization through infilling and intensification), 2.D and 2.G which both deal with urban area development. Specifically, Section 2.D.1, requires Urban Areas to be planned and developed in a manner that (in part): protects the natural environment; o The intent of the proposed zone change is to establish a clear boundary for the existing Moffat Creek wetland as well as providing a 30 m (98.4 ft.) buffer to protect the ecological function of the wetland while still facilitating intensification. Additionally, Parks Recreation & Culture (PRCD) staff have included a condition in the severance applications requiring a Tree Inventory and Management Plan (TMP) to their satisfaction. This plan identifies the species and condition of the trees on the property and makes

128 a recommendation as to whether the tree is to be removed or saved and if removed whether it is due to the condition of the tree or the proposed development. The applicant will not get final permission to create the lots until PRCD staff are satisfied with the plan. In review of the above-noted, staff is of the opinion that proposed Zoning By-law Amendment generally complies with the Regional Official Plan. Also, the Region of Waterloo was circulated on this application and had no objections. City of Cambridge Official Plan (2012) as amended The subject property is designated Low/Medium Density Residential and Natural Open Space System in the City s Official Plan, as amended. The proposed change in zoning from residential to open space implements the policies of the Official Plan specifically with regard to the Natural Open space System designation. Chapter 7 of the Cambridge Official Plan states that the protection, enhancement and restoration of Cambridge s parks and open spaces. It further states that one of the goals of the plan is to protect, enhance, or wherever feasible and appropriate, restore natural features and their ecological functions within the parks and open space system (Policy 7.0.i) ). Policy 3.A.4.2.a) states that a natural feature would qualify as Locally Significant Natural Area (LSNA) if, in part, the feature is a wetland which is regulated by the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) but which does not qualify as a Core Environmental Feature. Based on this criterion, the Moffat Creek wetland would qualify as an LSNA. Policy 3.A.4.3 states that development and site alteration will avoid LSNAs wherever feasible and that development within, or contiguous to an LSNA will require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to determine the boundaries of the LSNA as well as any appropriate buffers. The applicant as submitted an EIS (in conjunction with this application and the two related severance applications B04/18 & B05/18) which has been reviewed and accepted by the GRCA and City staff. The EIS identified the boundaries of the wetland as well as a 30 m (989.4 ft.) buffer. The applicant proposes to rezone the LSNA and buffer areas from residential to open space thereby implementing the polices of the City of Cambridge Official Plan as identified above. Accordingly, it is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment conforms to the policies of the City of Cambridge Official Plan. City of Cambridge Zoning By-law No , as amended, The subject property is currently zoned R4 (Single Residential). The applicant is proposing to rezone a portion of the subject lands from R4 to OS1 (Open Space) to

129 protect the Moffat Creek wetland and associated buffer lands as identified in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) submitted by the applicant and accepted by GRCA and City staff. The proposed change in zoning is a condition of approved severance applications B04/18 & B05/18 to facilitate the creation of a total of three lots for residential development. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed change in zoning to protect and enhance the existing wetland is consistent with the intent and purpose of the City of Cambridge zoning by-law and represents good planning. Based on the above noted analysis, planning staff is of the opinion that the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Region s and City s Official Plans and represents good planning.

138 is proposing to retain a 20 m (65.6 ft.) deep section beside Holiday Inn Drive as a buffer and a 15 m (49.2 ft.) wide section along the easterly property line. o The EIS has been accepted by staff and the recommendations are included as conditions of draft approval After the public meeting, the applicant identified a block approximately 0.14 ha (0.34 ac.) in size that is to be transferred to the property to the east (360 Holiday Inn Drive) to facilitate additional parking. It is the opinion of staff that this is a minor change to the subdivision application and no further public meeting is required. Financial Implications The costs related to this application will be borne by the developer. BACKGROUND The applicant submitted a concurrent Zoning By-law Amendment application (R03/18) and site plan application (SP05/18) for the proposed new facility for Apex Cycle in the southwestern block (proposed Block 3). The amending by-law (No ) was passed on September 18, 2018 with the appeal period ending October 9, The remainder of the property is zoned M1 (Prestige Industrial) and may require future zoning by-law amendments once prospective owners or uses are identified.
