neighbouring lands;

That, on the recommendation of the Managing
Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with
respect to the application of Vireo Health Facility Ltd, relating to a
property located at 1444 Adelaide Street North:
a) the
proposed by-law, as appended to the staff report dated March 25, 2014, BE
INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on April 1, 2014, to
amend the Official Plan to change the designation of the subject lands FROM

Residential designation;
b) the
proposed by-law, as appended to the staff report dated March 25, 2014, BE
INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on April 1, 2014, to
amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, in conformity with the Official Plan as amended
in part (a) above, to change the zoning of the subject property FROM a

Zone;
c) the
Site Plan Approval Authority BE REQUESTED to implement the following items
through the site plan process:
·
the
relocation of the building to front onto Adelaide Street North to create a
street wall which is oriented toward the corridor while parking is to be
accommodated in the back of the property away from the prominent street
corner;
·
the
existing trees located at the southwest corner of the property should be
retained to facilitate a landscaped buffer at the gateway of the residential
neighbourhood along Glenora Drive;
·
parking
areas should be screened from Glenora Drive and Adelaide Street North with
enhanced landscaping to create a soft interface between this office use and
the existing residential neighbourhood and the location of the driveway off
of Glenora Drive to support safe circulation of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic;
·
a
paved walkway should be provided from the building to the public sidewalk in
order to provide direct and convenient access; it being noted that the
Adelaide Street North façade should appear as the primary façade and the
Glenora Drive elevation should have a similar level of detail and appear as a
secondary façade in order to facilitate the appropriate building orientation;
it being further noted that a reduction in the amount of glazing on the south
façade is acceptable to mitigate the effects of too much sun entering certain
rooms of the building; it being also noted that the windows should be more
balanced or their location should respond to articulation on the building
façade; and,
·
ensure
that the siting/construction of the proposed office building is consistent
with the conceptual site plan and elevations appended to the
staff report dated March 25, 2014 as Appendix C;
it being

residential block and one (1) new internal road that will align with
Settlement Trail SUBJECT TO the conditions appended to the staff report dated
March 25, 2014, as Appendix "39T-13504";

c) the
proposed by-law, as appended to the staff report dated March 25, 2014, BE
INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on April 1, 2014, to
amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), FROM a

Residential R5/Residential R6/ Community Facility
(h.h-53.h-56.h-91.R5-2/R6-4/CF3) Zone, to permit cluster housing and
community facilities and a Community Facility (CF3) Zone to recognize an

Design principles through the site plan approval process for Block 35:

'A' and orient the primary entrances into the building(s) towards the
streets. This may be achieved in several configurations such as: stacked
townhouses, back to back townhouses, or a double row of townhouses with rear
lane access garages. Locating the built form along the street edge and
orienting the entrances towards the street will create an active frontage,
improving both the pedestrian realm and the visual experience along Colonel
Talbot Road;
ii)
include architectural details such as windows, doors,
projections, and high quality materials on the façade(s) facing Raleigh
Boulevard as this elevation faces the main entryway into the Talbot Village
community; and,
iii)
locate parking either internally to buildings (garages) or
within the interior side yard (next to the EMS Station); it being noted that,
alternatively, if parking must be located along a street frontage it is
preferred that it is located along the Street 'A' frontage;
e) the financing for
this project BE APPROVED in accordance with the “Related Estimated Costs and
Revenues” as appended to the associated staff report dated March 25, 2014, as
Schedule “B”;

submissions in connection therewith. (2014-D14/D12)

façade enhancements and fencing for the townhome at the south-east corner to
articulate the east elevation;

Plan and Elevation Drawings appended to the staff report dated March 25, 2014
as Schedule “1”, as well as the design features recommended below:
·
develop the edge
treatment by enlarging the terraced gardens along the entire Fanshawe Park
frontage incorporating the proposed staircases as shown on the existing plan in
order to create an urban edge condition between the building face and public
sidewalk;
·
include options such as
fencing, landscaping and the location of parking for the edge treatment which
abuts the Open Space in order to create a positive relationship between this
site and the Open Space;
·
consider
a courtyard space at the central drive by eliminating the centre lane and
incorporating a water feature or public art, along with a high level of
planting to improve the public realm;
·
ensure
a high level of planting between the public sidewalk and the parallel pathway
at the podium. Consider planters that are not as symmetrical in response to the
topography to strengthen the landscaped open space;
·
consider
adding another pedestrian connection, or shifting the proposed connection to
the public sidewalk at the southwest corner of the site, to relate more to the
likely pedestrian activity to the adjacent commercial development;
·
encourage
the use of the sloping topography as an opportunity to develop a natural podium
and consider multiple steps and the possibility of sunken courtyards for the
townhomes and creating a positive interface of the site with the ravine to
benefit from the natural topography;
·
consider
façade enhancements and fencing for the townhome at the south-east corner to
articulate the east elevation;
·
consider
high quality building materials that are consistent with the high quality of
the design to enhance the building design and ensure its long term durability;
·
consider
the provision of a green roof to enhance the amenity space at the podium roof
and to reduce the heat island effect on this site; and,
·
to
improve the storm water management generated from this development, consider
using permeable paving materials wherever possible and cost-effective;
d) the
Staff BE DIRECTED to ensure, throughout the construction process, that a safe
and accessible pedestrian access is maintained between the Amica building and
the shopping area to the west, at the intersection of Wonderland Road North and
Fanshawe Park Road West;
it being noted that the shadow impact will be
shared and pedestrian safety will be considered;
it
being
further noted that the Planning and Environment Committee reviewed and received
a communication, dated March 13, 2014, from C. Creighton, Land Use Planner, Upper Thames
