·                     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;

Properties located at 250, 268, 270 and 272 Springbank Drive (OZ-8279)

 

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;
