That the Building Division Monthly Report

|
|
That, on the recommendation of the Managing
Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with
respect to the proposed Regulations Promoting Affordable Housing Act 2016
(Inclusionary Zoning):
a)
the
staff report dated January 22, 2018, entitled “Information Report - Proposed
Regulations Promoting Affordable Housing Act, 2016 (Inclusionary
Zoning)" BE RECEIVED; and,
b) the
staff report dated January 22, 2018, entitled “Information Report - Proposed
Regulations Promoting Affordable Housing Act, 2016 (Inclusionary
Zoning)" BE FORWARDED to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for
consideration in response to the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) posting of
the proposed regulation; it being noted that the Municipal Council wishes to
highlight the following concerns:
i)
purpose-built
rental projects would be exempt from any inclusionary zoning by-law; it being
noted that this exemption would eliminate a large portion of London’s potential
affordable housing supply;
ii)
unless
part of a Community Permit Planning System, a municipal financial
contribution is required for every affordable unit to be created; it being
noted that this contribution would be the equivalent of 40% of the difference
between the average market price and the affordable price of the affordable
units; it being further noted that given that the total number of affordable
housing units that could be developed as a result of inclusionary zoning, and
the difference between the average market price and affordable price of
affordable housing has not yet been calculated, there could be significant
financial implications to the City in implementing inclusionary zoning; also
noting that it is also important to note that inclusionary zoning regulations
from other jurisdictions does not generally include any provision for municipal
incentives or contributions;
iii)
the
maximum unit set aside is 5% (10% if located at an identified transit
station), which is much lower than the general 10-20% set aside in other
jurisdictions;
iv)
the
proposed regulations are silent on matters of standards of design, unit size,
energy efficiency, etc. as noted in the City’s previous submission; it being
noted that by not specifying minimum standards of design, unit size, etc.,
affordable housing units could be developed at a lower standard than the
prevailing community standard with respect to such matters as materials and
appearance and qualities of finishes and/or smaller unit sizes not consistent
with the prevailing development pattern;
v)
the
affordable units required to be provided as part of a development may be
permitted to be located off-site, to be constructed within 36 months of the
transfer of the affordable units from the proposed development; it being
noted that it is not known how these off-site units could be provided if they
were not developed within the 36 month period after the development requiring
the units was completed, nor is there any direction regarding “in proximity
to”; it being further noted that this could also result in a concentration of
affordable housing units, rather than a distribution across the community to
provide for integrated and inclusive communities;
vi)
the
agreements to implement Inclusionary Zoning will require significant staff
resources to develop and administer; and,
vii)
Bonus Zoning and Inclusionary Zoning be considered as complimentary to allow
a developer to build units using bonus zoning as well as units using
Inclusionary Zoning to increase the number of affordable housing units. (2018-S11)

That, on the recommendation of the Managing
Director, Planning and City Planner, based on the application by Bradley
Linton, relating to the property located at 3 Glenroy Road, the proposed
by-law appended to the staff report dated January 22, 2018 BE INTRODUCED at
the Municipal Council meeting to be held on January 30, 2018 to amend Zoning
By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), to change the zoning
of the subject property FROM a Convenience Commercial (CC) Zone TO a
Convenience Commercial Special Provision (CC6(_)) Zone;
it being noted that no individuals spoke at
the public participation meeting associated with this matter;
it being further noted that the Municipal
Council approves this application for the following reasons:
·
staff
have reviewed the requested Zoning By-law Amendment and find it is consistent
with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with the existing Official
Plan policies that apply to the subject site;
·
there
are some inconsistencies with existing zoning to The London Plan as The
London Plan requires commercial uses on the site to be in conjunction with
residential uses and existing zoning does not permit residential uses;
·
the
recommended Zoning By-law amendment would bring the zoning permissions closer
to conformity with The London Plan as the expanded range of permitted uses
would include dwelling units;
·
the
existing convenience commercial plaza has achieved a measure of compatibility
with the surrounding neighbourhood and this expanded range of permitted uses
is not anticipated to have adverse effects on the surrounding neighbourhood
given that the uses are limited to the existing plaza; and,
·
an
Official Plan amendment is not required as the recommended Zoning By-law
amendment complies with the 1989 Official Plan which is currently in-force
and effect. (2018-D09)

That, on the recommendation of the Managing
Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with
respect to the application by Southside Group, relating to the properties
located at 940 and 956 Wharncliffe Road South:
a)
the
proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated January 22, 2018 BE
INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on January 30, 2018 to
amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), to
change the zoning of the subject lands FROM an Urban Reserve (UR4) Zone TO a
Restricted Service Commercial Special Provision (RSC1/RSC2/RSC3/RSC4(_))
Zone; and,
b) the
Site Plan Approval Authority BE REQUESTED to consider providing enhanced
landscaping between the abutting residential zones and any future uses on the
subject site through the site plan approval process;
it being noted that no individuals spoke at
the public participation meeting associated with this matter;
it being further noted that the Municipal
Council approves this application for the following reasons:
·
the
recommendation is consistent with Provincial Policy Statement 2014;
·
the
recommendation is consistent with the Auto Oriented Commercial Corridor designation
of the Official Plan;
·
the
recommendation is consistent with the North Longwoods Community Plan and
Southwest Area Plan;
·
The
recommendation provides for an appropriate range of permitted uses on the
subject site for future development;
·
The
required setback between the abutting residential zones ensures the existing
developments will have a sufficient buffer between potential future uses and
maintain their privacy; and,
·
The
proposed uses are in keeping with the future Commercial Industrial place type
of the London Plan. (2018-D09)

That, on the recommendation of the Managing
Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with
respect to the application by Italian Seniors Project, relating to the
properties located at 1090, 1092 and 1096 Hamilton Road:
a)
the
proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated January 22, 2018 BE
INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on January 30, 2018 to
amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), to
change the zoning of the subject properties FROM a Residential R1 (R1-6) Zone
TO a Holding Residential R8 Special Provision (h-_•R8-4(_)) Zone; and,
b)
the
Site Plan Approval Authority BE REQUESTED to consider the following design
and engineering issues through the site plan approval process:
i) the
provision of a 1.8 metre high board-on-board privacy fence along the
perimeter of the subject lands shared with adjacent properties;
ii) the
provision for outdoor lighting fixtures within parking areas that will
minimize light trespass onto adjacent properties;
iii) maximize
tree preservation and retention on the subject lands;
iv) address
concerns raised through the community engagement process about the potential
for reflection or amplification of road traffic noise on adjacent properties;
v) the
provision of the following road traffic noise mitigation measures as per the
recommendations of the accepted Noise Feasibility Study, prepared by Howe
Gastmeier Chapnik (“HGC”) Limited, dated August 21, 2017, and the
recommendations of City Staff be included in the Site Plan and Development
Agreement:
A) central
air conditioning be required and the location, installation and sound rating
of outdoor condensing units be compliant with MOECC Guideline NPC-300;
B) building
and double glazed window construction be provided meeting the minimum
requirements of the Ontario Building Code for adequate sound installation for
the building; and
C) the
inclusion of noise warning clauses in the property and tenancy agreements and
offers of purchase and sale stating:
“Purchasers/tenants
are advised that despite the inclusion of noise control features in the
development and within the building units, sound levels due to increasing
road traffic may on occasion interfere with some activities of the dwelling
occupants as the sound levels exceed the sound level limits of the
Municipality and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change”; and “This
unit has been supplied with a central air conditioning system which allows
windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor
sound levels are within the noise criteria of the Municipality and the
Ministry of the Environment and climate Change”;
the
following wording be added to the noise warning clauses:
“The
City of London assumes no responsibility for noise issues which may arise
from existing or increased traffic on Hamilton Road as it relates to interior
or exterior living areas within this development. The City of London
will not be responsible for constructing any form of noise mitigation for
this development.”; and,
the
following wording be added to the clauses within the Development Agreement:
“Prior
to the issuance of a building permit, the Owner shall have the plans for all
dwelling units reviewed and certified by a qualified acoustical engineer
licensed in the Province of Ontario, before building permits are issued, to
ensure that they incorporate the recommended indoor and outdoor noise control
measures outlined in the accepted noise study prepared by HGC Limited and
dated August 21, 2017”; and “The Owner’s qualified acoustical
consultant and architect shall, upon completion of construction of the
accepted noise abatement measures and prior to issuance of occupancy permits,
certify the work has been carried out in accordance with the accepted noise
study”;
it being pointed out that at the public
participation meeting associated with these matters, the individuals
indicated on the attached public participation meeting record
made oral submissions regarding these matters;
it being further noted that the Municipal
Council approves this application for the following reasons:
•
the
recommended amendment is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement
which encourages intensification in appropriate locations where it can be
accommodated. The PPS also encourages a range and mix of land uses, and
directs municipalities to permit all forms of housing required to meet the
needs of current and future residents, including affordable housing and
special needs requirements;
•
the
recommended amendment conforms to the 1989 Official Plan, and will implement
the residential intensification policies of the “Low Density Residential”
designation that contemplate residential intensification in the form of
low-rise apartments up to 75 units per hectare. The recommended amendment
will provide for housing choice and a range of housing types encouraged by
the Official Plan;
•
the
recommended amendment is consistent with the policy direction in The London
Plan which contemplates low-rise apartments at this location and provides for
residential intensification in the “Neighbourhoods” Place Type where it’s appropriately
located and fits with the receiving neighbourhood. The recommended
amendment will provide for housing choice and a range of housing types
encouraged by The London Plan;
•
the
subject site is an appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the
proposed use in keeping with most of the standard Residential R8 Zone regulations.
The recommended special provision to recognize a reduced front yard depth
results from the required road widening dedication along Hamilton Road, and
good urban design practice of maintaining the building-line established by
existing adjacent buildings; and,
•
the
recommended reduction in the minimum number of required parking spaces is
relatively modest given the total number of parking spaces to be provided; on or
off-site impacts are not expected to result with any regularity. (2018-D09)
