By-law Amendments to delete the future Primary Collector road classification
over lands located west of Hamilton Road and north of Commissioners Road East
(1691 Hamilton Road, 1733 Hamilton Road, 1964 Commissioners Road East and
2046 Commissioners Road East):
a) the
proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated August 28, 2017 as
Appendix "A" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be
held on September 5, 2017 to amend the City of London Official Plan to delete
the road classification of future Oriole Drive as a “Primary Collector”, as
shown on Schedule ‘C’ – Transportation Corridors Map;
b) the
proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated August 28, 2017 as
Appendix "B" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be
held on September 5, 2017 to amend the City of London Zoning By-law Z.-1, (in
conformity with the Official Plan, as amended in Part a) above), to delete
the “Primary Collector” street classification over lands located west of
Hamilton Road and north of Commissioners Road East (identified as Street ‘C’
in Draft Plan of Subdivision File No. 39T-13502) in Section 4.21 Road
Allowance Requirements – Specific Roads; and,
c) the
Land Use Concept for the Old Victoria Area Plan BE MODIFIED by deleting the
“Future Road Crossing” of the open space and stream corridor lands located
west of Hamilton Road and north of Commissioners Road East; and by changing
the Primary Collector to a local street;
it being noted that modifications to Map 3
– Street Classifications in The London Plan reflecting the amendments as
recommended in part a) above, will be undertaken by the Civic Administration
and will be brought forward to Municipal Council as part of a future
comprehensive review;
it being pointed out that at the public
participation meeting associated with this matter, the individual indicated
on the attached public participation meeting record made an oral
submission regarding these matters;
it being further noted that the Municipal
Council approves this application for the following reasons:
·
the
recommended amendments are based on a City-initiated review of the future
“Primary Collector” road alignment through the easterly portion of the Old
Victoria Area Plan. The current configuration of the road
alignment crosses a ravine which has been identified as a natural heritage
feature consisting of a stream corridor and local wetland;
·
avoiding
the crossing will eliminate environmental impacts on the ravine and wetland
feature. A local road connection outside of the open space and ravine lands
has been identified, and would eliminate the need for a road crossing as well
as maintaining neighbourhood connectivity; and,
·
the
recommended
Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments and modifications to the Old
Victoria Area Plan are considered appropriate, and consistent with the
Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statement. (2017-D09)

318 sq. m of commercial space within the podium base of the building and a
residential tower ranging from 10-storeys to 24-storeys in height (maximum 80
meters) with a maximum density 534 units per hectare. The building will
include residential units within the podium base and commercial space at
ground-level within the podium base of the building along York Street. The

Thames River”, “Forge connections with the downtown neighbourhoods”, “Green
the downtown”, “Build great neighbourhoods”, and “Create buzz”; and will
support the development of the Forks of the Thames as a transformational
project;
·
the
recommended amendment will facilitate an enhanced form of development which
includes an architecturally defined podium-base, tower-middle and building
cap, with the podium-base enhancing the animation the streetscape and
pedestrian environment; the tower-middle reducing the visual impact of the

Overall
Design
a
contemporary architectural design that uses varied cladding materials in high
contrast colours to provide visual interest and to define different building
elements. The materials will include brick, window walls (with vision
glass), spandrel glass and etched glass as the primary form of cladding on the
podium base on the southerly façade (York Street) and westerly façade (Thames
Street); and brick and precast concrete as the primary form of cladding on the
podium base on the northerly and easterly facades; and window walls (with
vision glass), spandrel glass and precast concrete as the primary form of cladding
on the tower. The development will be designed to incorporate one or more
references to the history and heritage associated with the property (for
example, etched glass renderings of the historic streetscape at this location,
interpretative signage, or other such features);
Podium
Base Design
I)
a
podium base up to 3-storeys in height to provide a pedestrian-friendly scale at

pattern of recurring sections of brick and window-walls with
vertically-oriented mullions to divide the mass of the podium base sympathetic
to the rhythm and verticality of historic commercial facades of the Downtown Heritage
Conservation District;
IV)
the
use of window walls (with vision glass) and separate and direct pedestrian
entrances to commercial space at ground-level along the southerly (York Street)
façade and the westerly (Thames Street) façade to animate the pedestrian realm;

the
use of tempered glass balcony railings and pre-cast concrete balcony columns
set back to reduce the visual impact of the tower and building as a whole;
Cap Design
I)
mechanical
and elevator penthouse enclosures that are architecturally integrated into the
design of the tower in order to provide for a sculpted building cap that is
visually interesting and contributes positively to the Downtown London skyline;
II)
a
horizontal projecting canopy that will provide for visual interest and define
the top of the building; and,
III)
rooftop
lighting that provides a distinguishable landmark in the night-time skyline;
B)

of commercial space within the podium base of the building and a residential
tower ranging from 10-storeys to 24-storeys in height (maximum 80 meters) with
a maximum density 534 units per hectare. The building will include residential
units within the podium base and commercial space at ground-level within the
podium base of the building along York Street. The development design will

participation meeting associated with this matter, the individuals indicated on
the attached public participation meeting record made oral
submissions regarding these matters;

Council approves this application for the following reasons:
·
the
recommended amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014,
which promotes intensification and redevelopment in strategic locations to minimize
land consumption and servicing costs and provide for a range of housing types
and densities to meet projected requirements of current and future residents;
·
the
recommended amendment conforms to the City of London Official Plan and supports
the objectives of the Downtown Area designation, which encourage growth in the
residential population of the Downtown through high-density residential
development and design features which serve to enhance the pedestrian
environment. The recommended amendment will also restrict development where
flood hazards exist in conformity with the policy direction in the Official
Plan;
·
the
recommended amendment is consistent with the policy direction in The London
Plan regarding permitted uses, intensity of development and form within the
Downtown Place Type, and the priority placed on the pedestrian experience in
The London Plan;
·
the
recommended amendment is consistent with the Our Move Forward:
London’s Downtown Plan and the strategic directions to “Reconnect to the Thames
River”, “Forge connections with the downtown neighbourhoods”, “Green the
downtown”, “Build great neighbourhoods”, and “Create buzz”; and will support
the development of the Forks of the Thames as a transformational project;
·
the
recommended amendment will facilitate an enhanced form of development which
includes an architecturally defined podium-base, tower-middle and building cap,
with the podium-base enhancing the animation the streetscape and pedestrian
environment; the tower-middle reducing the visual impact of the tower and
building as a whole, and a visually attractive cap which screens all mechanical
elements and contributes positively to the City skyline;
·
the
recommended amendment will allow for the proposed development including the
required increase in density and the required reduction in the setback for the
residential component of the building through bonus zones. The bonus zones
require the ultimate form of development to be consistent with the Site Plans,
Landscape Plans, Elevations, Renderings and Floor Plans appended to the
amending by-law;
·
the
recommended bonus zones provide for a maximum density of 414 units per
hectare including the southerly part of 330 Thames Street, but excluding the
lands proposed to be zoned OS4; and an increased maximum density of 534 units
per hectare excluding the southerly part 330 Thames Street in return a series
