accommodating eight apartment units and structured parking, with the Ridout
Street street-facing façade designed to appear as “stacked townhouses” and183
residential units in the apartment tower from floors 4 to 22, which shall be
implemented through a development agreement in return for the
provision of the following services, facilities and matters:
i) a
building
design which, with
minor variations at the discretion of the Managing Director, Planning and
City Planner, matches the Site Plan, Roof Top Terrace Plan, and Elevation
Drawings, as appended to the staff report as Schedule “1” and includes an
architecturally differentiated base, middle and top:
·
with
the base consisting of the portion of the façades between the ground floor
and the top of the 3rd floor positioned toward the front lot line along
Ridout Street, generally in line with the established street wall,
incorporating architectural detail which creates a prominence on the Ridout
Street frontage, including apartment units which appear as “stacked
townhouses” along the street-facing façade, with entrances to each “stacked
townhouse” unit provided directly to the street; including architectural
elements projecting above pedestrian entrances at street level and
above-grade structured parking which is screened with a variation in
materials and colours, with specific architectural detail provided to
pronounce the primary building entrance along the northern building facade to
accentuate the entrance;
·
with
the middle portion consisting of the portion of the façades between the top
of the base and the top of the 20th floor, including two separate
columns of glazed window-wall on both the north and south facades and, one
column on both the east and west facades, employing balcony design which
creates articulation and variation in the facades, includes substantial tower
step-backs at the 4th floor, with an outdoor terrace on the 4th
floor which includes a combination of soft landscaping, passive amenity
space, communal gardens, and vegetated green roofing;
·
with
the top consisting of the portion of the façades above the top of the 20th
floor, employing building step-backs on the 21st floor to provide
for outdoor terraces, employing further step-backs above the 21st
floor to articulate the top of the building, using window-wall columns to
break up the visual massing of the facades, using attractive materials and
architectural details to screen all mechanical elements located above the 22nd
floor, using high-quality building materials and incorporating decorative
lighting elements to create an aesthetically pleasing cap;

for the refinement to the design of the entrances/porch areas of the stacked
townhouse units in order to achieve a more cohesive design approach;
iii) allowing
for the refinement to the design of the top or ‘cap’ of the building
integrating the mechanical penthouse into an architectural feature that will
add interest to the skyline;

retention of the existing tree in front of the proposed townhouses;
c)
pursuant
to Section 34(17) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as

That, on the
recommendation of the Managing Director, Planning and City Planner, the
following actions be taken with respect to the application of Rand
Developments Inc. (2355440 Ontario Inc.), relating to the properties located
at 250,
268, 270 and 272 Springbank Drive:
a)
the
Municipal Council BE ADVISED that this Official Plan and Zoning By-law
amendment application (OZ-8279) has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal
Board by Alan Patton of Patton, Cormier & Associates LLP on behalf of the
applicant on the basis of non-decision by Council within 180 days;
b) the
Ontario Municipal Board BE ADVISED that the Municipal Council recommends that
the Official Plan BE AMENDED, as appended to the staff report dated June 17,
2014, to change the designation of the lands on Schedule “A” – Land Use – FROM an
Auto-Oriented Commercial Corridor designation and a Low Density Residential
designation TO a Multi-Family, Medium Density Residential designation; and, to add a
“Special Policy” to Section 3.5 – Policies for Specific Residential Areas –
to guide the future development of the subject lands;
c) the
Ontario Municipal Board BE ADVISED that Municipal Council recommends that the
request to amend the Official Plan to change the designation of the subject
lands FROM an Auto-Oriented Commercial Corridor designation and a Low Density
Residential designation TO a Multi-Family, High-Density Residential
designation BE REFUSED for the following reasons:
i)
the
Municipal Council has made land available to accommodate an appropriate range
and mix of land uses within the municipality, including opportunities to
provide for high-rise residential development in a manner which is integrated
and harmonious with its surroundings in many appropriately designated large
Multi-Family, High Density Residential areas, including areas along the
Springbank Drive Corridor, in conformity with the policies of the PPS;
ii) the
subject site is inconsistent with the location criteria of the Multi-Family,
High Density Residential designation;
iii) the
subject site is not of a suitable size to accommodate the high density
housing forms proposed through this application in a manner which provides
adequate transition and buffering measures to protect adjacent low density
residential uses; and,
iv) the
requested amendment for the Multi-Family, High Density Residential
designation introduces potential for high-rise built form adjacent to the
Coves Environmentally Significant Area. The physical context of the
surroundings including the topography of the site being perched upon a
plateau facing the Thames Valley Corridor and the low-rise character of
surrounding development provides an unsuitable context for high-rise
apartment buildings;
d) the
Ontario Municipal Board BE ADVISED that Municipal Council recommends that the
request to amend the Official Plan to add a “Special Policy” to Section 10 –
Policies for Specific Areas – to guide the future development of the subject
lands BE REFUSED for the following reasons:
i) the requested amendment should not be
considered in absence of the approval of the foregoing amendment;
ii) the intent of the requested policy is to
permit a broader range of uses than normally permitted within the
Multi-Family, High Density Residential designation including office uses and
commercial uses up to 2,000m2 within the first 3-storeys of
apartment buildings. These land use permissions have generally been
incorporated into the Official Plan amendment recommended in clause b) above;
and,
iii) in specific areas where it is appropriate
to address development opportunities, and constraints through specific
policies that provide additional guidance to the policies contained in the
various residential land use designations, such specific policies should be
included within Section 3.5 – Policies for Specific Residential Areas – of
the Official Plan as recommended in clause b), above;
e) the
Ontario Municipal Board BE ADVISED that Municipal Council RECOMMENDS that the
request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 to change the zoning of the subject
property FROM an Arterial Commercial Special Provision (AC(2)) Zone and an
Open Space (OS1) Zone, TO a Residential R9 Special Provision Bonus (R9-7(_)●B(_))
Zone and an Open Space (OS4) Zone, BE REFUSED for the following reasons:
i) the
height and density increases proposed by way of bonus zoning are dependent on
the lands being designated Multi Family, High-Density Residential Designation
(MFHDR) which is not appropriate for the site;
ii) the proposed development does not take
into account surrounding land uses in terms of height and scale, presents an
extreme in bulk between the existing built fabric of adjacent properties, and
is not in keeping with the low-rise open space character of this portion of
Springbank Drive;
iii) the range and extent of special zoning
regulations required to facilitate the proposed form of development including
reduced standards for landscaped open space, increased building coverage and
reduced side yard setbacks are indicative of over-intensification;
iv) the
requested amendment results in a net density of 286 units per hectare whereas
Official Plan policies normally limit densities in the MFHDR designation
outside of Central London to 150 units per hectare;
v) the
requested amendment does not satisfy the criteria for instances where Council
may consider height and density increase beyond what is normally permitted in
the MFHDR designation (150 units per hectare) including a requirement that
the proposed development exceed the prevailing standards established in the
Urban Design principles of Section 11 of the Official Plan;
vi) sanitary
servicing capacity does not currently exist to accommodate the increased
sewage flows anticipated through the proposed redevelopment and the potential
solution to this issue remains unresolved;
vii) the
proposed form of development includes a parking structure which protrudes
from grade level excessively along the eastern portion of the site adjacent
to the Coves; and,
viii)
the
proposed form of development does not meet the Urban Design principles of
Chapter 11 of the Official Plan and, as such, does not satisfy the criteria
for bonus zoning outlined in Section 19.4.4 of the Official Plan;
f) the
Ontario Municipal Board BE ADVISED that Municipal Council RECOMMENDS that the
request to amend the Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, to add a definition for
“Retirement Suite” to Section 2 (Definitions), to add parking requirements
for “Retirement Suites” to Section 4.19 (Parking), and to add special density
considerations for “Retirement Suites” to Section 3.4 (Density “D”); BE
REFUSED for the following reasons:
i) the requested amendments are intended to be
considered on a site specific basis and should not be considered in absence
of the approval of the foregoing amendments;
ii) the intent of the requested amendment is
to allow for reduced density and parking considerations for a specified form
of senior’s housing. Exceptions to density limits may be made without
amendment to the Official Plan through bonus zoning for developments which
are designated and occupied for senior citizen’s housing; and,
iii) site-specific
special Official Plan policies have been incorporated into the recommend
Official Plan amendments, as appended to the staff report dated June
17, 2014 as Appendix
“B” to recognize the propensity for senior’s housing on this site and
contemplate density bonuses in return for the provision of such housing;
it being pointed out that at the public
participation meeting associated with this matter, the individuals indicated
on the attached public participation meeting record made oral
submissions in connection therewith. (2014-D14)
