Each dwelling unit is intended to be severed into separate lots. The community outreach centre that is proposed adjacent to Adelaide Street will also be located on a separate lot. This application proposes to create new lots to allow the development.

Each dwelling unit is proposed to have a floor area of 1 square metres containing a kitchen, washroom, great room and attached garage on the main floor, and three bedrooms and a washroom on the second floor. No basements are proposed for these dwelling units. The proposed six residential lots will be approximately 15 square metres in area with. metres of lot frontage. The proposed community outreach centre building is 0 square metres in floor area and will be located adjacent to Adelaide Street with the building located close to the street and a side driveway leading to parking for vehicles located at the rear of the property accessed via Adelaide Street. The community outreach centre is proposed to be a single storey building and the 3 semi-detached dwellings are proposed to be two-storeys in height. To allow for this proposal, this zoning amendment application is required to review compatibility and impact of the proposed development and ensure compliance with policies in the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Number. Upon the enactment of a site specific zone to facilitate this proposal, 3 consent applications would be required to create lots 3 semi-detached buildings on each separate lot and the community outreach centre on its own lot. A site plan application will be a condition of these 3 consent applications to ensure that the proposed form and function of the development is reviewed in detail for compliance with the established zone and to review grading and servicing for the entire site. Once the site plan is approved, Building Permits could be obtained to start construction.

Site Characteristics The subject site is located at the intersection of Cowdy Street and Adelaide Street. Surrounding land uses are a mix of existing low and medium density residential units. The form of housing consists of single units, semi-detached units, townhouses and apartment units. The Katarokwi Learning Centre is located south of the subject lands and is the site of the former Frontenac Public School. The subject lot is approximately 1,06 square metres in area and includes 50.6 metres of frontage on Cowdy Street and 3.3 metres of frontage on Adelaide Street. Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement (201) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development, which are intended to be complemented by local policies addressing local interests. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) encourages intensification of uses within the urban boundaries. The PPS also calls for efficient use of land to develop healthy, livable and safe communities by using existing infrastructure to support development. The subject redevelopment is considered intensification within the urban boundary and meets the intent of the policies in the PPS. Official Plan Considerations The subject property is designated Residential in the City of Kingston Official Plan. The residential designation allows for different forms of housing including detached, semidetached or duplex dwellings, townhouses and apartments. This designation also allows for uses that support residential neighbourhoods and are compatible with a residential setting such as a community outreach centre. The semi-detached units will be developed at a density that is within the limits of the medium density policies. Once the land is severed, the residential component of the property will be developed at a density of 50 units per net hectare. The proposed density is compatible considering the mix of existing built form and densities in the neighbourhood. This proposed density is appropriate based on locational criteria, infilling and intensification policies of the Official Plan. The proposal will result in a moderate form of intensification. The site is located in proximity to property owned by the Limestone District School Board, Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School and is within a short walk (approximately 300 metres) to transit routes located on Division Street. The property is located approximately 1 kilometre ( minute walk) to the downtown core. The infill policies of the Official Plan direct redevelopment in an area with full municipal services and encourages redevelopment that is compatible to existing built form. The zoning amendment will ensure compatibility of the proposed development with the existing neighbourhood in order to conform to infill policies.
Report to Planning Committee Report Number PC-1-00 August 3, 201 Page 6 of This proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan. Zoning By-Law Considerations The subject property is zoned A One-Family Dwelling and Two-Family Dwelling Zone in Zoning By-Law Number. This zone permits one and two-family dwellings as well as community centres. This proposal requires relief from minimum lot area per dwelling unit and minimum rear yard provisions of the A zone for the semi-detached dwellings. A site specific zone is required to provide relief from the provisions stated below and allow for the proposal. The proposed community outreach centre does not require any relief though this zoning amendment. This proposal meets all other provisions of Zoning By-Law Number. Provision Requirement Proposed Minimum Lot area per dwelling unit 30 metres squared per dwelling unit Minimum rear yard.5 metres 6.0 metres 15 metres squared per dwelling unit Technical Circulation Process The application has been circulated to a number of internal departments and external agencies for review and comments. The responses to the technical circulation will be addressed in the technical review and included in the comprehensive report for consideration at a future Planning Committee meeting. Existing Policy/By-Law: The proposed amendment will be reviewed against the policies of the Province of Ontario and City of Kingston to ensure that the changes will be consistent with the Province s and the City s vision of development. The following documents will be assessed: Provincial Planning Act Provincial Policy Statement, 201 Municipal City of Kingston Official Plan Zoning By-Law Number Notice Provisions: Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, a notice of the Statutory Public Meeting was provided by advertisement in the form of signs posted on the subject site 20 days in advance of the Public Meeting.
