Section of the PPS states that Settlement Areas will be the focus of growth and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. Section of the PPS states that Planning authorities shall identify and promote opportunities for intensification and redevelopment where this can be accommodated taking into account existing building stock or areas, including brownfield sites, and the availability of suitable existing or planned infrastructure and public service facilities required to accommodate projected needs.

13 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 OFFICIAL PLAN: The subject lands are designated Service Commercial according to the City of Woodstock Land Use Plan, as contained in the County Official Plan. Service Commercial areas are those that are largely developed for commercial uses which primarily cater to the commercial needs of the traveling public. Types of service commercial uses that generate significant amounts of traffic and draw patrons from a wide area may also be located within these areas. These areas are characterized by numerous individual parcels of land and future development is anticipated largely through infilling and redevelopment. Service Commercial designations which are in close proximity to existing or planned residential development will restrict the range of uses permitted to those which avoid nuisance effect associated with noise, odour, traffic, visual or other adverse effects on residential development. The intent of the Service Commercial designation is to promote a nodal or clustered form of development by facilitating the grouping of commercial uses into integrated forms of development that have common access points and parking facilities. Permitted uses in the Service Commercial designation include video rental establishments, commercial recreational establishments, automotive service stations, gas bars, car wash facilities, retail sales of automobile supplies, automated teller machines or kiosks, tourist information outlets or kiosks, hotels, motels, automotive services, automotive dealerships, building supply outlets and hardware stores, sale of seasonal produce, furniture stores and home furnishing stores, nurseries and garden centres, animal hospitals and boarding kennels, assembly halls and private clubs, personal and business services, convenience commercial uses, retail food stores, recreation and entertainment uses, restaurants and fast food outlets, uses which require large areas for on-site storage of goods or vehicles and other types of commercial uses that offer a service to the traveling public, business and industry. ZONING BY-LAW: The subject property is currently zoned Highway Commercial Zone (C4), which permits a broad range of commercial uses. Uses permitted within the C4 zone include but are not limited to a convenience store, a business of professional office, a drug store, a motor vehicle dealership, a retail food store, and a wholesale outlet. AGENCY REVIEW: The development proposal was circulated to various agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. The City of Woodstock Engineering Department (Building Division), City of Woodstock Engineering Department (Engineering Division), City of Woodstock Economic Development Department, County of Oxford Source Protection Program Coordinator, and County of Oxford Public Works Department indicated that they had no objections or concerns with the proposal. Page 3 of 4

14 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Notice of the zone change application was circulated to the public and surrounding property owners on two (2) occasions, September 21, 2016 and October 3, As of the date of this report, no concerns or objections have been received regarding the proposed zone change application. Planning Analysis The subject application seeks to amend the existing C4 zoning to add a health club to the list of permitted uses. The subject lands are located within the Service Commercial designation. The intent of this designation is to facilitate commercial opportunities which primarily cater to the needs of the traveling public, generate significant amounts of traffic and draw patrons from a wide area. The proposed health club is considered to be a form of a personal service, which is permitted in the Service Commercial designation as noted above. As such, it is Planning staff s opinion that the proposed use generally maintains the intent and purpose of the Service Commercial designation of the Official Plan. Planning staff are also of the opinion that the proposed use is consistent with the policies contained in the PPS as the use promotes economic development and competitiveness by providing an additional commercial use within the municipality and also represents an efficient use of land and existing infrastructure. In light of the foregoing, this Office is satisfied that the applicant s proposal to rezone the subject lands to facilitate the establishment of a health club in the existing commercial building is consistent with the PPS and maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. A draft of the proposed amending Zoning By-law is attached to this report for Council s consideration. RECOMMENDATION It recommended that the Council of the City of Woodstock approve the amending Zoning By-law (File ZN ) for lands comprising Part Lot 50C, Plan 216 and Part of Park Lot 9, Plan 187 in the City of Woodstock, whereby the applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from Highway Commercial Zone (C4) to Special Highway Commercial (C4-46) to add a health club to the list of permitted uses.

Section of the Official Plan further deals with the High Density Residential policies in stating that the height and density limitations applicable to the various forms of development shall be determined on the basis of the nature, character and scale of adjacent land uses. The net residential densities will not normally exceed 150 units/ha (60 units/ac). Section of the Official Plan includes policies which relate to bonus zoning. Under the provisions of the Planning Act, a municipality may include zoning regulations that permit increases to height and density limits applicable to a proposed development in return for such facilities, services or matters as set out in the By-law. Page 3 of 6

23 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 The facilities, services or matters that would be provided in consideration of density bonus should be reasonable, in terms of cost/benefit implications for both the municipality and the developer and must result in a benefit to the general public and/or an enhancement of the design or amenities of a development to the extent that a greater density or height is warranted. Also, the height or density bonus received should not result in a scale of development that is incompatible with adjacent uses or exceeds the capacity of available municipal services. Area Councils may pass By-laws providing for bonusing to achieve, among other objectives, support for the development of affordable housing and the preservation of structures and/or districts identified as architecturally and/or historically significant by the municipality. As a condition of the application of bonus zoning provisions to a proposed development, the owner of the subject land will be required to enter into an agreement with the City to be registered against the title to the land. The agreement will set out the facilities, services or matters that are to be provided, the timing of their provision and the height or density bonus to be given. CITY OF WOODSTOCK ZONING BY-LAW: An apartment dwelling house is a permitted use in the C5 zone. The applicant proposes to rezone the subject lands from C5 to C5-16 to include special provisions to reduce the total number of parking spaces from 20 to 15 and to increase the maximum lot coverage from 60% to 100%. The purpose of the parking provisions of the By-law are to ensure that adequate off-street parking is provided for customers and residents of the downtown area, while recognizing that patrons of the downtown do not have to rely on vehicles to travel throughout the downtown and that additional parking may be provided by public facilities. The lot coverage provisions in the Zoning By-law are typically designed to ensure adequate space for all buildings and structures, parking and adequate space for landscaping and common areas. AGENCY REVIEW: The development proposal was circulated to various agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. The City of Woodstock Engineering Department (Development Division), City of Woodstock Engineering Department (Building Division), County of Oxford Public Works, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA), City of Woodstock Downtown Business Improvement Association and City of Woodstock Police Services indicated that they have no concerns or comments regarding the proposal. PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Notice of the zone change application to the public and surrounding property owners was provided on two (2) occasions, July 8, 2016 and October 3, As of the date of this report, no concerns or objections have been received regarding the proposed zone change application.

24 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 Planning Analysis The subject application proposes to amend the existing C5 zoning to include special provisions increasing the maximum lot coverage and reducing the required number of parking spaces to facilitate the development of a 4 storey multi-use building with commercial on the ground floor and 36 residential units on the upper floors. The proposed development of the subject lands is considered to be an efficient use of lands, municipal services and infrastructure. Additionally, staff are of the opinion that this proposal will assist in providing a mix of housing types to accommodate current and future residents of the regional market area. It is the opinion of this Office that the subject application is consistent with the policies of the PPS. The subject lands comprise approximately m 2 (9,899.8 ft 2 ) and the applicant s proposal is to develop 36 residential units on the site. As such, the proposal constitutes a net residential density of approximately 400 units/ha (158 units/ac), which exceeds the high density range provisions of 150 units/ha (60 units/ac). That being said, City Council in accordance with the density bonus policies, may allow an increase in the density of development beyond the limit otherwise permitted in return for the provision of affordable housing. The Official Plan recognizes the importance of increasing the supply of affordable housing within Woodstock and directs that the City may consider the use of reduced municipal infrastructure requirements and lot standards on a site-specific basis to facilitate the delivery of affordable housing provided that the use of such measure continues to meet the overall objectives of the Plan. In light of the foregoing, this Office is of the opinion that the consideration of the applicant s proposal in the context of bonus zoning provisions of the Official Plan is appropriate. The applicant has indicated that the proposed development will be financed through federal and provincial funding administered by the County of Oxford. Matters related to securing the development for affordable housing can be addressed through a development agreement against the title of the lands in accordance with the provisions for bonus zoning as contained in the Planning Act. Planning staff are of the opinion that the increased lot coverage and reduced parking requirements necessary to facilitate the development are appropriate and should be given favourable consideration. The lot coverage provisions are typically designed to provide sufficient space for all buildings and structures, parking and adequate space for landscaping. The location of the subject lands within the City s central area is such that the residents of the proposed apartment building will have access to numerous facilities, including parks within easy walking distance of the proposed development. With respect to parking, the applicant is providing the majority of the required parking on the ground floor of the building with access to Opera House Lane. The municipal parking lot located on Light Street can also be used for visitor parking and permits can be purchased for additional vehicles that tenants may own. In light of the foregoing, this Office is satisfied that the applicant s proposal to rezone the subject lands to facilitate the development of a 4-storey, multi-use building with commercial on the ground floor and 36 residential units on the upper floors is consistent with the PPS and maintains the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan.

25 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 It is therefore the recommendation of this Office that City Council approve the subject application in principle until the owner enter into a bonusing agreement with the City to provide 20 affordable housing units for a minimum of 20 years on the subject lands. Once the owner has entered into the agreement with the City, the bylaw will be brought to Council for approval. RECOMMENDATION It recommended that the Council of the City of Woodstock approve-in-principle the amending By-law (File No. ZN ) for lands comprising Part Lot 1, w/s Light Street, Plan 10, in the City of Woodstock, whereby the applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from Central Commercial Zone (C5) to Special Central Commercial Zone (C5-16) to facilitate the development of a 4-storey, multi-use building with commercial on the ground floor and 36 residential units. AND FURTHER THAT City Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to enter into an agreement with HOC Holdings Limited under Section 37(3) of the Planning Act regarding the provision of 20 affordable housing units at 385 & 387 Dundas Street in the City of Woodstock.

30 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 Item 8(c) To: From: Mayor and Members of Woodstock Council Ron Versteegen Senior Planner, Community and Strategic Planning Application for Extension to Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 32T Lunor Group Inc. REPORT HIGHLIGHTS The application proposes to extend the approval of a draft approved plan of subdivision for a five (5) year period. The plan is set to lapse on October 31, Agency circulation did not indicate any concerns with the proposed extension. Planning staff recommend support of a three-year extension to grant additional time to satisfy the conditions of draft plan approval and allow for the registration of the plan of subdivision. DISCUSSION Background OWNERS: AGENT: Lunor Group Inc. 66 Arrow Road, Unit 6B Guelph, ON N1K 1T4 MHBC Planning c/o Andrea Sinclair Bingemans Centre Drive Kitchener, ON N2B 3X9 LOCATION: The subject lands are described as Part of Lots 14 & 15, Concession 1 (Blandford) in the City of Woodstock. The lands are located on the south side of Devonshire Avenue, east of Lansdowne Avenue. PROPOSAL: A request has been submitted to extend the draft approval of a plan of subdivision (32T-08003) for a five (5) year period. Page 1 of 3

31 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 The existing draft plan was originally draft approved in June, 2009 comprising 231 lots for single-detached dwellings, 14 residential blocks that could accommodate a range of residential units, a block for a neighbourhood park and 2 blocks for stormwater management purposes. Since this time, 4 registrations have taken place to create conveyable residential lots. On December 30, 2011, Plan 41M-273 was registered that established 32 residential lots and 2 development blocks. On December 12, 2013, Plan 41M-291 was registered where 49 residential lots and 4 development blocks where created and on February 25, 2015, Plan 41M-300, 6 residential blocks were created for townhouse purposes. Further, the applicant recently registered another phase (Plan 41M-316), which includes 51 residential lots and 4 development blocks. Plate 1, Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision. The area displayed in purple shows the extent of the lands that remain under draft plan approval while the area displayed in orange illustrates the extent of lands that have been registered since Comments AGENCY REVIEW: The development proposal was circulated to various agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. The City of Woodstock Engineering Department (Development Division) requested that a condition be added whereby the owner agrees to provide cash in-lieu for sidewalk along Devonshire Avenue to the satisfaction of the City. Additionally, a condition should also be added whereby the owner agrees that fencing will be constructed along either side of the 3 m (10 ft.) wide block from Street Four to Les Cook Park to the satisfaction of the City. The County of Oxford Public Works Department requested that revisions be made to the financial condition to clarify that the owner will be responsible to pay for their portion of the sanitary sewer and water pumping stations that service the area. The City of Woodstock Engineering Department (Building Division) indicated that they had no objections or concerns with the proposal. Planning Analysis County Council granted draft plan approval to a residential plan of subdivision on the subject property on December 9th, Since this time, the owners have registered 4 portions of the subject property, the most recent of which is currently underway. The remainder of the draft approved plan is proposed for residential development in addition to a commercial block and is to be registered in phases according to future demands. Given the size of the subdivision and current market demands, the applicant has requested an extension of five (5) years. As noted above, through the circulation of the request for the extension, the City s Engineering Office and County Public Works requested revisions to the existing approved conditions of draft plan approval. In the process of resolving these matters, this Office granted four temporary Page 2 of 3

32 Report No: CASPO COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING Council Date: October 20, 2016 extensions to provide the applicant the opportunity to address the matters raised by both departments. The most recent extension was granted to October 31, In terms of the comments received by the City Engineering Department, it was confirmed through discussions with City staff that the issue of fencing along the pedestrian connection to Les Cook Park and the payment for sidewalks along Devonshire Avenue has been incorporated into the Phase 4 subdivision agreement. Therefore these matters have been addressed to the satisfaction of the City. Similarly, to address the concerns raised by the County Public Works Department provisions were incorporated into the Phase 4 subdivision agreement to ensure that the owner will be responsible to pay for their portion of the sanitary sewer and water pumping stations that service the immediate area. Accordingly, it was confirmed by staff of both the City Engineering Department and County Public Works Department that no further revisions to the draft approved conditions are required. While the applicant has requested a five (5) year extension Planning staff note that the County typically recommends two (2) year extensions to ensure that the applicant is actively working towards registration of the approved plan as well as ensuring that sufficient capacity of municipal services exists to accommodate the proposed development. In some circumstances, given the amount of lands that remain under draft plan approval Planning staff has supported three (3) year extensions. This office is satisfied that the approved draft plan of subdivision has proceeded in an appropriate manner and considering the amount of lands that remain under draft plan approval recommend that a three (3) year extension be granted for the draft approved plan of subdivision to October 31, A resolution of City Council in support of the owner s request is necessary in order for the County to grant an extension of the draft approval. RECOMMENDATION It recommended that the Council of the City of Woodstock advise Oxford County that the City supports a 3-year extension to the draft approval of the Lunor Group Inc. subdivision, (32T-08003), for lands described as Part of Lots 14 & 15, Concession 1 (Blandford) in the City of Woodstock to October 31, SIGNATURES Authored by: original signed by Ron Versteegen MCIP, RPP Senior Planner Approved for submission: original signed by Gordon K.
