A
Let's
benefit
there,
no
addendum
for
tonight's
meeting.
No
correspondence
has
been
received
regarding
any
of
the
files.
The
PowerPoint
presentations,
if
anyone
is
curious,
are
also
available
on
the
city
of
Kingston's
website
below
the
reports
on
the
agenda.
Alright,
mr.
chair,
you
can
proceed.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
thank
everybody
for
being
here
tonight.
I
am
going
to
apologize
in
advance,
I
have
a
dog
of
a
that
will
be
scratching
at
my
patio
door
on
and
off.
So
if
I
jump
up,
that's
what's
happy,
I'll
read,
we
have
one
public
meeting
tonight
and
then
we
have
a
couple
of
things
on
the
agenda
action
items.
B
The
purpose
of
public
meetings
is
to
present
planning
applications
in
a
public
forum,
as
required
by
the
Planning
Act
following
presentations
by
the
applicant
committee.
Members
will
be
afforded
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions.
Excuse
me
for
clarification
or
further
information.
The
meetings
will
then
be
open
to
the
public
for
comments
and
questions.
Interested
persons
are
requested
to
give
their
name
and
address
for
recording
in
the
minutes.
Interested
members
of
the
public
can
email
the
committee
clerk
or
the
assigned
planner
if
they
wish
to
be
notified.
B
Regarding
a
particular
application,
no
decisions
are
made
of
public
meetings
concerning
applications
and
less
otherwise
noted.
The
public
meeting
is
held
to
gather
public
opinion.
An
exception
to
this
rule
is
combined
reports
which
consolidate
the
public
meeting
and
comprehensive
reports.
These
applications
are
deemed
by
staff
has
straightforward
and
routine.
This
business
practice
has
been
in
place
for
a
number
of
years
and
is
received
by
the
applicants
as
efficient
customer
service,
an
effective
use
of
committee
time.
B
Please
note
that
staff
use
discretion
in
determining
if
an
application
can
be
a
combined
public
meeting
comprehensive
report
to
expedite
the
approval
process.
Public
meeting
reports
are
provided
to
inform
the
public
of
all
relevant
information.
Information
gathered
is
then
referred
back
to
planning
services
staff
for
the
preparation
of
a
comprehensive
report
and
recommendation
to
Planning
Committee.
This
means
that
after
the
meeting
tonight,
staff
will
be
considered
considering
the
comments
made
by
the
public
in
their
further
review
of
the
applications.
B
When
this
review
is
completed,
a
report
will
be
prepared
making
a
recommendation
for
action
to
this
committee.
The
recommendation
is
typically
to
approve
with
conditions
or
to
deny.
The
committee
then
makes
a
recommendation
on
the
applications
to
City
Council
city
council
has
the
final
say
on
the
applications.
From
the
city's
perspective
following
council
decision
notice
will
be
circulated
in
accordance
with
the
Planning
Act.
B
If
a
person
or
public
body
would
otherwise
have
an
ability
to
appeal
the
decision
of
the
Council
of
the
corporation
of
the
city
of
Kingston
to
the
local
planning,
Appeal
Tribunal,
but
that
person
or
public
body
does
not
make
oral
submissions
at
a
public
meeting
or
make
written
submissions
to
the
City
of
Kingston.
Before
that,
my
law
is
passed
that
person
or
public
body
is
not
entitled
to
appeal
the
decision
so
we'll
move
on
to
our
first
and
only
public
meeting
tonight,
which
is
Centennial
Drive
and
Resource
Road.
A
B
C
C
I
was
talking
to
myself.
How
often
does
that
happen
in
these
meetings?
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair,
and
to
James
as
well
for
organizing
my
name
is
Tess
Gilchrist
and
I'm,
a
planner
with
ibi
group
and
I'm,
going
to
speak
to
the
zoning
bylaw
amendment
application
for
the
Cataraqui
estates,
Business
Park
this
evening.
It
is
a
total
of
six
slots,
four
of
which
I
see
have
municipal
addresses
and
they're
listed
there,
and
the
municipal
addresses
are
also
interchanged
with
the
Lots
within
the
plan
of
subdivision.
C
The
purpose
of
the
zoning
amendment
is
to
permit
those
uses
described
in
the
Official,
Plan,
designation
and
just
yeah,
and
which
is
the
Business
Park
industrial.
It
also
establishes
performance
standards
for
the
site
specific
zone
and
addresses
matters
such
as
open
storage
and
parking
requirements.
Next
slide,
please.
C
As
I
mentioned,
there
are
a
total
of
six
lots
that
are
subject
to
this
zoning
bylaw
and
then
application,
three
of
which
are
on
the
north
side
of
resource
Road,
adjacent
to
Centennial,
lot,
437,
438
and
452,
and
then
on
the
south
side
of
venture
Drive
lot
430
lot,
four,
four
four
and
lot
446
next
slide.
Please
the
areas
of
the
subject:
lots
vary
quite
significantly.
C
C
Next
slide,
please,
as
previously
mentioned,
all
six
lots
are
located
within
the
business
park.
Industrial
Official,
Plan
designation,
the
three
northern
lots
about
about
open
space.
I
will
note
that
the
mapping
for
the
city
indicates
the
open
space
designation
over
a
portion
of
lot
4437,
but
we
believe
this
is
a
mapping
error
and
that
the
entirety
of
lot
47
437
pardon
me,
is
within
the
business
park.
C
Industrial
designation
and
I
will
follow
up
with
the
city
and
real
estate
department
to
confirm
that
the
center
of
the
business
park
is
designated
a
general
industrial
and
then
on
the
so
side
of
the
three.
The
three
southern
Lots
are
located
adjacent
to
the
cataract
in
North
neighborhood,
which
has
a
secondary
plan,
but
these
three
Lots
are
our
body
separated
from
the
neighborhood
with
a
hydro
corridor
that
runs
east-west
next
slide.
Please
the
proposal.
So
there
are
no
specific
development
proposals
associated
with
this
zoning
bylaw
amendment
application.
It
is
purely
an
ex
matching.
C
C
Will
just
do
a
very
high-level
summary
of
the
PPS
if
there
are
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
it
and
there's
a
more
fulsome
explanation
within
the
justification
report,
but
in
general,
the
proposed
zoning
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
new
and
shiny
2020
PPS.
These
lands
are
located
within
the
urban
boundary
and
are
designated
for
employment
use.
C
C
Next
slide,
please,
the
sixth
subject:
Lots
are
designated
Business
Park
industrial
in
the
city's
official
plan
and
the
permitted
uses
are
quite
specifically
listed
in
Section.
Three
point:
six
point,
eight
point:
one
and
the
proposed
zoning
bylaw
amendment
is
consistent
with
this
list
lot.
437
is
also
subject
to
site-specific
policy
area
62
in
the
Official
Plan,
which
specifies
that
the
property
located
at
193,
Resource,
Road
indoor
storage
of
equipment
shall
be
also
be
permitted.
Proposed.
Zoning
does
not
conflict
with
this
special
policy.
C
Section
two
point:
seven
speaks
to
land-use
compelled
compatibility
principles
and
the
term
compatible
in
the
O
P
is
defined
as
the
ability
of
various
land-use.
This
building
sites
work
urban
design
treatments
to
coexist
with
one
another
in
a
manner
that
will
not
have
an
undue
physical
or
functional
adverse
effect
on
existing
or
proposed
development
area
or
pose
an
unacceptable
risk
to
environmental
or
human
health,
and
the
proposed
permitted
uses
are
consistent
with
the
Official
Plan
policy
or
the
Business
Park
industrial
designation,
and
are
generally
compatible
with
the
existing
business
park.
C
All
future
development
will
be
subject
to
site
plan
control,
as
I
mentioned,
and
the
site
plan
process
includes
a
detailed
review
of
development
and
provides
an
opportunity
to
implement
any
necessary
mitigation
measures
for
any
future.
Sensitive
land
use
is
proposed,
a
study
must
be
conducted
and
those
two
years
as
are
I'll,
get
to
it
a
little
in
a
moment,
but
our
proposed
complimentary
use
as
being
a
daycare
and
a
hotel.
C
Section
three
point:
six
point
two
and
three
point
six
point:
three
pertained
to
supporting
economic
based
in
the
city's
rule.
The
city
strongly
supports
a
strong
and
diversified
economic
base
and
will
continue
to
promote
the
city
for
business
parks,
which
of
course
includes
the
Cataraqui
estates.
Business
Park
section
three
point:
six
points:
seven
employment
areas
will
be
protected
from
fragmentation:
the
intrusion
of
sensitive
uses,
traffic
issues,
efforts,
effects
and
section
three
point:
six
point:
twelve
through
three,
six
fourteen
and
three
six.
C
Sixteen
identify
complementary
uses
that
are
contemplated
in
the
business
parks
and
the
specific
policies
have
been
incorporated
into
the
proposed
zoning
amendment
and,
as
per
Section
three
point:
six.
Seventeen
within
employment
areas,
the
proposed
development,
is
subject
to
several
criteria.
All
future
development
will
be
subject
to
cyclone
control
which
would
address
these
matters,
including,
but
not
limited
to
safe
access,
loading
areas,
parking
design,
screening.
D
C
Lastly,
section
nine
point:
five:
nine
of
the
Official
Plan
provides
direction
on
matters
for
planning
committee
and
council
to
consider
which,
of
course,
first
and
foremost
is
conformity
of
the
proposal
with
the
intent
of
the
Official
Plan.
There's
several
other
criteria
as
well.
Next
slide,
please.
C
The
Cataraqui
Business
Park
is
within
zoning
bylaw
76
26,
and
the
existing
zoning
for
lots
for
34:44
and
446
on
this
outside
of
venture
Drive
are
and
1-12,
and
lots
438
and
452
on
the
inner
side
of
resource
Road.
Our
Business
Park
to
zone
lot
437
in
a
special
Business
Park
zone.
Six
and
the
proposed
zoning
is
site-specific.
Business
Park
zone
would
be
one
zone
for
all
six
of
the
Lots
next
slide.
Please.
C
The
new
site-specific
VPX
zone
would
be
consistent
directly
with
the
business
park.
Industrial
policies
of
the
o,
P
and
the
proposed
amendment
is
compatible
with
existing
development.
Preserves
flexibility
through
the
performance
standards
and
open
storage
is
contemplated
to
be
permitted.
However,
visual
impacts
would
be
mitigated
through
the
use
of
setbacks
and
landscaping,
and
further
mimic
mitigation
measures
associated
with
open
stores
would
be
implemented
through
site
plan.
C
C
Compare
and
contrast
in
some
ways
the
existing
three
isms
that
apply
to
the
various
Lots
in
comparison
to
what
is
being
proposed.
I
will
note
ibi
met
with
the
city
of
kingston
planning,
staff
and
representative
from
the
business
real
estate
and
Environment
Department
last
week
to
discuss
technical
comments
received
on
the
application
and,
as
a
result
of
this
meeting,
there
are
a
few
small
changes
to
the
zoning
matrix
which
I've
included
in
red
and
primarily
those
are
associated
with
the
language
for
removing
the
holding
symbol
on
daycare
and
hotel.
C
We
have
a
specific
language
from
engineering
to
include
there
and
clarification
on
the
size
of
parcel
that
is
his
able
to
have
complimentary.
These
provisions
and
matric
provides
a
breakdown
on
the
permitted
uses,
permitted
complementary
uses
and
performance
standards.
The
performance
standards
for
what
is
being
proposed
in
the
site-specific
zone
are
generally
consistent
with
one
of
the
existing
zones,
with
the
exception
of
lot
area
and
all
of
their
provisions
were
intended
to
preserve
as
much
flexibility
for
future
development
as
possible.
C
If
you
could
advance
to
the
next
slide,
please
apologies
I
should
have
prompt
sooner.
These
are
the
proposed
performance
standards
again.
Just
reiterating
that,
what's
being
proposed,
dis
is
already
representative
of
one
of
the
three
existing
zones
for
those
Lots
next
slide.
Please
and
the
open
storage
provisions
are
included
to
limit
the
location,
the
size
and
to
implement
screening
requirements
as
well
next
slide.
C
Please
and
lastly,
the
proposed
amendment
sets
out
specific
parking
rates
for
the
proposed
industrial
office
and
complementary
uses,
as
the
permitted
uses
that
are
contemplated
by
the
Official
Plan
do
not
translate
to
the
defined
uses
in
the
zoning
bylaw
76
26
for
parking
rates.
So
to
avoid
additional
kind
of
confusion
or
lack
of
clarity
there,
the
intent
is
to
put
the
parking
rates
and
size
requirements
into
the
site-specific
zone
for
these
six
Lots
next
slide.
Please,
in
the
summary
the
requested
amendment
is
appropriate.
C
It
is
consistent
with
PPS,
conforms
to
the
O
P
and
is
compatible
with
surrounding
land
uses.
The
proposed
zoning
amendment
represents
good
planning
and
is
in
the
public
interest
last
slide.
Please
I
welcome
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
any
questions.
The
planning
committee
members
or
any
members
of
the
public
may
have
thank
you.
Thank.
E
Through
you,
through
you,
mr.
chair,
thank
you.
This
is
Megan
Robin
speaking
and
pursuant
to
the
requirements
of
the
Planning
Act,
a
notice
of
statutory
public
meeting
was
provided
by
advertisement
in
the
Kingston
wig
standard
20
days
in
advance
of
this
public
meeting
as
well.
A
courtesy
notice
was
placed
in
the
Kingston
wig
standard
on
May
12
2020.
To
date
we
have
received
no
written
submissions
regarding
this
application.
E
B
F
E
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
your
question.
Counselor
cynic
and
yeah
for
those
lots
subject
to
the
current
application
that
do
not
currently
have
municipal
addresses,
I've
referred
to
them
throughout
the
public
meeting
report
by
their
lot
numbers.
Okay.
So,
yes
to
answer
your
question.
Okay,.
F
No
problem
I'm
the
comment,
well
that
you
talked
about
for
lot
437
and
about
how
it
has
a
partial,
open
space
designation
on
it.
I
was
on
planning
committee
when
we
first
looked
at
the
Cataraqui
Business
Park
estates
and
I
think
that
was
a
SWOT.
We
were
developing
land,
one
of
the
other
Lots
to
the
south
and
it
might
have
cursed
that
lands
in
there.
So
it
was
a
SWOT
in
in
turn
of
developing
one
of
those
lands.
Open
space
was
going
to
be
left
on
437.
F
There
was
a
long
time
ago,
but
I
don't
think
it
was
a
mistake
that
the
open
space
is
on
lot.
437
I
think
there's
a
reason
why
it
shows
the
open
space.
The
way
that
it
does
I
would
have
to
do
digging
and
consult
with
some
other
people
that
might
have
been
on
the
committee
back
then
to
try
to
remember
but
I,
don't
think
it's
a
mistake,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
forward.
I'm
for
four
out
of
the
six
slots
that
we're
talking
about
tonight.
I,
don't
have
a
problem.
F
You
know
the
comprehensive
report.
You
know
no
issue.
That
sort
of
thing
but
I
do
have
a
problem
developing
lot.
438
and
452
438
is
205
Resources
Road,
when
all
of
us
started
on
this
term
account.
So
somebody
wrote
us
when
we
were
doing
all
the
climate
change
action
plans
and
forming
that
committee.
F
All
that
sort
of
thing
I'm,
someone
wrote
to
us
specifically
about
those
two
lots:
438
and
452
I-
will
forward
that
person's
email
to
planning
committee
and
to
planning
staff
to
form
a
record
tonight,
because
she
makes
really
good
points
about
how
on
pure
and
dense
and
what
a
great
forest
is
actually
on
there.
If
we
all
look
at
Exhibit
B,
that's
in
our
PDF
document
for
tonight's
agenda,
you
can
see.
F
You
can
see
how
dense
it
is
of
those
evergreens,
and
you
know
like
of
climate
change,
that
person's
email.
She
actually
outlines
how
many
acreage
it
is,
and
it's
just
really
dense
trees,
and
we
know
that
we
can't
do
a
lot
of
climate
change
protection
like
even
not
as
much
as
we
had
planned
from
last
night's
meeting,
because
we
have
kovat
and
everything's
being
deferred
till
next
year,
the
year
before,
even
offering
new
plant
new
trees
for
people
to
plant
on
their
own
property.
That
entire
program
we
wanted
to
kick
start
in.
F
2020
is
now,
can
it
be
delayed
to
2021,
and
we
also
want
to
double
our
tree
canopy
in
our
urban
forests,
and
this
is
the
urban
area,
because
we're
below
the
401-
and
my
last
point
too,
is
that
for
effective
tree
coverage
in
any
city,
Environment
Canada
says
that
we
should
try
to
have
30%
tree
coverage,
and
this
is
gonna
be
another
huge
loss
to
our
tree
coverage.
As
far
as
I
know,
we
have
been
Jenna
I'm.
F
F
So
those
are
my
comments.
My
questions,
I,
don't
know
it's
staff
can
answer
when
we're
going
to
be
doing
another
urban
forestry
coverage
mapping
to
see
what
percentage
we're
at
and
the
last
one
just
to
confirm.
In
case
we
did
do
one
a
couple
of
years
ago.
I
wasn't
aware
of
I
think
her
last
one
was
like
eight
years
ago
or
so.
Thank
you.
E
E
This
is
something
that
planning
staff
are
currently
looking
into
and
will
include
a
response
in
the
comprehensive
report.
As
far
as
confirming
the
accuracy
of
of
that
mapping
based
on
the
drop
in
a
subdivision
that
was
approved
for
this
Business
Park
and
in
terms
of
the
timing
of
a
future
urban
forestry
coverage
study
or
updated
mapping
and
I'm
I'm,
not
personally
aware
of
of
whether
that
is
something
that
is
currently
planned
or
scheduled
for
updating,
and
that
may
be
something
that
mr.
park
could
speak
to.
G
B
G
I
Thank
You
sanic
on
your
questions
regarding
open
space.
I
have
provided
some
information
which
shows
that
lot.
437
is
the
remaining
part
which
was
designated
Business
Park
and
some
part
of
it
was
designated
open
space.
It
is
no
more
part
of
lot
437,
but
again,
I
will
followup
with
the
Planning
Department
and
provide
confirmation
on
that.
I
Regarding
the
lot
438
and
452
I
think
we
would
need
an
offline
discussion
with
you
on
that
part.
I
was
not
aware
of
the
email
that
you
have
mention
receiving
from
a
member
of
the
public.
I
would
like
to
confirm
that
we
do
have
a
sale
in
progress
already
for
438
property.
It
is
a
local
company
for
the
research
and
development
and
like
typical
sale
agreements.
It
is
this.
F
F
F
I
F
One
further
questions
specifically,
then
about
lot
438.
The
site
plan
will
just
be
between
staff
and
the
company
like
to
tell
you
the
truth.
Even
if
site
plan
comes
to
planning
committee,
we
don't
even
really
vote
on
it.
It
basically
comes
as
an
information
report
to
us,
so
are
they
going
to
be
saving
any
trees
on
that
property.
F
My
other
question,
then,
when
Planning
Department
replies
is,
if
I'm
are
they
for
that
Big
Lots?
Are
they
building
it
all
out
in
one
phase,
are
they
going
to
face
it?
Sometimes
in
our
business
parts
we
sell
them
the
piece
of
property,
but
they
only
use
a
certain
portion
and
then
they
buy
the
rest
of
it
for
expansion
in
the
future.
So
I'll
just
also
add
that
if
we
could
have
that
detail.
H
H
You
can
certainly
do
that
and
have
consultation
with
you
if
you
would
like
during
that
process,
the
the
phasing
I
can't
really
speak
to
because
I'm
not
privy
to
the
terms
of
the
real
estate
transaction
I,
don't
know
if
they,
if
they
plan
to
build
one
big,
the
lien
or,
if
they're
planning
to
do
it
in
phases,
as
you
discuss,
I
I'm,
not
sure
if
real
estate
can
speak
for
that
issue
or
not.
Thank
you.
B
F
F
F
F
B
We
not
make
a
a
definitive
decision,
because
this
is
a
public
meeting,
but
of
course,
when
that
comes
as
a
comprehensive
report,
we
all
have
the
right
to
decide
so
right
now
we
should
be
focusing
primarily
on
questions.
So
thank
you.
Councillor
of
sanik
councillor
Kiley,
followed
by
councillor
Hutchison.
J
Thank
You
mr.
chair
through
you.
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
comment
made
by
staff
and
not
in
the
report,
but
I
think
it
was
an
illuminating
comment
and
I
want
to
further
explore
it
because
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
process
here.
If
we
have
the
public
meeting
on
an
issue
and
then
a
comprehensive
report
will
come
requesting
Planning
Commission
to
change
zoning,
what
if
the
zoning
isn't
changed?
What
becomes
of
the
deal?
That's
being
done.
B
H
H
J
That's
me
here
so
that
makes
me
feel
much
better,
because
I
was
going
to
question
why
we,
even
here
if
the
deal
is
being
made
on
the
potential
change,
because
I
very
much
share
a
counselor
or
sanics
sentiment
and
in
fact
I
was
gonna.
Make
a
comment
based
on
the
report
that
at
multiple
times
we
heard
that
it
was
vacant
land.
J
That
was
the
language
used
when
in
fact,
it's
far
from
that
I
think
councillor
sanic
said
very
clearly
about
the
tremendous
value
that
force
and
parcels
within
the
urban
growth
boundary
have
for
climate
change,
particularly
not
to
mention
air
purification
and
biodiversity.
So
I'm
glad
to
know
that
we're
not
presuming
will
make
a
change
and
making
negotiations
based
on
that,
because
I
think
that,
as
the
democratic
body
we're
here
to
ensure
that
we
take
all
those
considerations
and
more
and
of
course,
including
the
benefit
to
local
small
business.
J
But
I
would
very
much
caution
any
presumption
that
zoning
will
be
changed
because,
in
fact
it
might
not
be
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we're
only
dealing
with
current
zoning
and
maybe
in
the
future.
Looking
to
harmonize
based
on
what
the
comprehensive
report
says
and
just
thank
you,
the
counselor
or
sanic
for
bringing
these
points
up,
Thank.
L
Thank
You
mr.
chair
there's
some
common
question
about
the
similar
concern,
but,
first
of
all
let
me
say
thank
you
to
staff
for
this.
This
report
in
the
work
that's
being
done
and
providing
employment
lands
in
the
city
I
think
it's
one
of
the
things
the
time
I've
been
on
council.
That
is
really
well
done.
L
That
is
the
development
and
scale
of
employment
lands
and
it's
not
always
easy,
but
former
CEO
hunt
was
really
pressed
that
we
put
a
lot
and
it's
good
to
see
under
the
new
CEO
we're
doing
the
same
thing
which
speaks
to
the
fact.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
people
I
on
the
city
of
city
employees,
who
are
doing
this
work
in
real
estate
planning
and
so
on.
So
and
in
the
report
in
general,
it
seems
to
be
quite
quite
good
and
it
shows
where
we
can
go
on
that
said.
L
There's
a
question
along
the
same
theme
is
councilor
sanic,
it's
not
quite
the
same,
but
as
a
similar
concern,
and
that
is
regarding
the.
What
is
the
proposed
use
of
the
open
space
that
to
the
north
of
lots?
437
438
I
think
they're
labelled
OS
and
OS
13
and
above
them
again
is
the
EPA
one
of
the
EPA's
sections.
I
L
I
I
It
was
done
nine
decades
ago,
but
at
that
time
all
kinds
of
studies
were
done
to
understand
the
quality
of
the
Creed
area
and
at
that
time
all
these
blocks,
which
are
designated
as
Business
Park,
industrial
and
general
industrial,
were
were
to
be
utilized
for
future
industrial
use
and
added
to
employment
plans
inventory
and
those
properties
which
are
not
thought.
The
Business
Park,
which
are
designated
as
open
space
and
EPA,
were
but
stay
undeveloped
and
contribute
to
the
open
space.
L
You
know
what
what
we
tried
to
do
as
a
city,
and
that
is
currently
that
I
think
the
other
counselors
are
got
this
in
the
back
of
their
heads
as
well.
Is
employment?
Lands
are
important,
no
doubt
about
it
and,
as
I
said,
good
work
is
being
done.
However,
the
difficulty
in
thinking
sustainably
is
you've
got
your
four
colors,
but
you
still
think
we
have
on
the
books-
and
you
know
the
environmental
and
social,
the
cultural,
the
economic
and
the
difficulty
is
think
about
these
in
the
tension
they
hold.
That
is
thinking
about
them
simultaneously.
L
All
the
time
and
I
know,
staff
knows
this.
I
mean
in
terms
of
my
thought
patterns,
but
I
was
a
song.
The
can
be
travel
there.
West
of
Sydenham
Road
in
there
in
the
tree
covers
getting
a
rainbow
on
the
thin
side
at
certain
points
anyway
and
I
think
that's
what
councilor
sonic
is
thinking
about
when
you're
talking
with
trails,
you
can't
be
trail,
Thank
You
Miz,
for
bringing
that
up,
because
it
gives
substance
to
something.
L
That's
just
a
blot
on
the
map,
so
I
was
thinking
about
how
good
it
is
to
be
tree
planting
on
the
edges
of
forested
areas
because
of
the
natural
protections
and
makes
the
tree
survival
much
greater.
So
in
that
sense,
I
certainly
support
what
the
previous
two
counselors
said.
I
think
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
what
we
can
to
maintain
that
creative
tension
between
the
pillars
of
sustainability,
which,
unfortunately
even
15
years
ago,
or
so
we
weren't
doing
a
very
good
job
of
so
that's
my
first,
my
commenting
question
there.
L
L
E
You
through
you
mr.
chair
and
yeah,
so
the
applicant
has
proposed
a
minimum
lot
area
of
zero
square
meters
here,
and
so
there
are
several
existing
zones
within
all
of
the
zoning
bylaws
in
the
city
of
Kingston,
which,
while
they
may
not
indicate
a
minimum
lot
area
of
zero
square
meters
and
they
would
not
have
a
minimum
lot
area
requirement.
E
C
Certainly
I
think
Thank
You
Megan.
My
response
is
very
much
consistent
with
yours,
in
that
there
are
others,
films
that
do
not
require
a
minimum
lot
area
and
the
intent
behind
this
was
to
preserve
flexibility
for
future
development
on
these
Lots,
and
it
is
something
that
we
could
further
discuss
with
staff
as
I
expect
they'll
be
further
back
and
forth
to
address
conference.
L
I'm,
a
utilization
of
that
land
of
the
god
of
mind
and
I'll.
Tell
you
why?
Because
it
costs
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
even
millions
to
develop
this
land
we
putting
in
water
and
sewer
and
so
on.
It's
really
expensive,
so
I
would
think
we
would
want
to
have
them
optimally
used,
and
so,
when
I
read
zero,
I'm
thinking,
how
small
are
we
going
here?
B
C
Sir,
you
mister
chair.
Thank
you
test
Gilchrist
here
it
is
a.
It
is
a
challenging
task
when
you
are
proposing
a
zoning
amendment
for
future
development
that
has
not
yet
been
hashed
out
in
terms
of
the
details
like
it
would
be
for
a
site
plan
application.
So
the
intent
behind
the
provisions
was
to
preserve
the
flexibility
of
the
city,
to
sell
these
lands
and
and
I'm
glad
that
you
mentioned
that
you
know
servicing
these
lot
was
a
very
expensive
endeavor.
L
B
Could
I
suggest
we
have
one
other
councillor
who
has
had
patiently
his
hand
out?
Can
we
save
if
you
have
a
specific
question,
that'd
be
great.
We
also
have
the
opportunity
at
the
end
to
to
make
comments
and
questions.
So
would
you
count
Rochester?
Are
you
done
pardon
me,
I'm
going
oh
I'm,
the
only
one
talking
that
I
apologize
councillor
Hill
floor
is
yours.
Well,.

My
question
is:
are
you
allowed
to
build
hotel
or
motel,
then
in
the
industrial
park
versus
allow
that
also
I
guess
I'm,
just
trying
to
understand
what
the
uses
are
in
the
industrial
park
back
in
1986
to
1988
I
was
the
industrial
commissioner
in
Kingston
Township.
B
B
C
Thank
you
very
much
through
you.
Mr.
chair
Tess
Gilchrist
for
I
the
I.
The
proposed
zoning
would
permit
a
hotel
as
a
complimentary
use.
However,
there
are
limitations
on
the
maximum
allowable
total
floor
area
of
all
complimentary
uses
within
the
Business
Park,
and
that
provision
is
that
all
complementary
uses
total
floor
area
not
exceed
25%
of
established
or
concurrently
develop
space
for
permitted
employment
uses
within
the
business
park.
B

Regular
planning
committee
meeting
I'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
mover
in
a
seconder
for
the
agenda:
Thank
You
councillor,
Hill,
Thank,
You,
councillor
osanic,
all
those
who
favor
carried
confirmation
of
minutes
from
our
May
7th
meeting
to
be
confirmed.
Mugur
Thank,
You,
councillor,
Kiley,
Thank,
You,
councillor
Hill,
all
those
in
favor
carried
disclosure
pecuniary
interest.
B
Seeing
none
delegations
we
have
none
briefings.
We
have
none
I'll,
just
very
quickly,
read
the
brief
business
declaration.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
open
to
the
public.
The
city
has
initiated
a
new
process
in
which
members
of
the
public
will
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
for
up
to
five
minutes
on
comprehensive
reports
presented
before
the
Planning
Committee.
B
A
A
N
Name
is
James
Barr.
My
planner
with
the
city
of
Kingston
I,
have
been
working
on
this
application
and
presenting
a
recommendation
on
it
tonight.
The
property
is
located
at
328
Queen
Street.
So
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
which
is
located
on
the
south
side
of
Queen
Street
between
division
and
Chapman
Street
next
slide,
please,
the
purpose
and
effect
of
this
application
is
to
rezone
the
property
to
allow
the
existing
building
to
be
developed
completely
with
residential
units
converting
the
ground-floor
commercial
unit
and
basement
storage
area
into
two
additional
residential
units.
N
N
It
will
maintain
its
commercial
zoning
and
all
the
commercial
uses
associated
with
that
multi-unit
residential
is
being
added
as
a
new
use
to
the
site
to
facilitate
this
minor
redevelopment
next
slide,
please,
the
lands
are
located
within
the
central
business
district,
which
allows
for
higher
density
residential
development
in
standalone
buildings,
where
the
site
does
not
front
onto
a
mandatory
commercial
frontage
area.
Additionally,
the
first
floor
must
be
designed
to
be
converted
to
commercial
in
the
future.
Should
there
ever
be
and
need
next
slide,
please.
N
This
is
the
map
from
the
Official
Plan,
which
shows
areas
in
the
downtown
which
are
mandatory
commercial
frontage
areas.
The
site
is
no
key,
is
located
on
the
far
left-hand
corner,
there's
a
blue
star
phase
in
Queen
Street,
and
you
can
see
that
this
site
is
not
part
of
the
mandatory
commercial
frontage
area.
N
Next
slide,
please,
there
are
no
major
changes
occurring
to
the
site.
As
a
result
of
this
application,
there
will
be
fencing
added
to
the
front
of
the
property
noted
in
the
top
corner
as
amenity
area,
to
provide
separation
between
the
public
realm
and
the
private
amenity
space
for
the
units.
A
bike
rack
will
be
mounted
and
secured
to
the
side
of
the
building.
N
The
bike
rack
is
indicated
there
and
it's
going
to
be
located
at
the
end
of
the
parking
space
on
the
side
of
the
building,
and
it
will
come
with
a
roof
cover
as
well,
and
a
small
awning
for
weather
protection
is
being
added
to
the
front
of
the
building
to
make
it
look
more
like
a
residential
unit
to
provide
some
weather
protection
for
patrons
entering
and
exiting
that
front
door.
The
one
vehicular
parking
space
will
be
maintained
where
its
location
currently
is,
and
there's
no
change
associated
with
that.
There.
N
Next
slide,
please,
so
this
is
the
building
that
currently
exists
there
today.
The
top
portion
here
is
the
elevations
as
they
exist,
and
the
bottom
portion
is
the
elevations
that
are
proposed
as
part
of
this
application.
You
see
there
are
very
minor
changes,
and
this
site
was
originally
purpose-built
to
have
that
commercial
unit
at
grade,
and
there
are
no
modifications
happening
that
would
reduce
its
ability
to
be
converted
back
to
commercial
in
the
future.
Should
that
be
required
next
slide,
please
as
well.
N
N
So
it's
planning
staffs
opinion
that
the
application
for
zoning
bylaw
amendment
at
3:28,
Queens
Street,
is
consistent
with
the
PPS
and
conforms
to
the
Official.
Plan
and
amending
bylaw
has
been
prepared
with
the
amendments
to
the
zone
provisions
and
that
this
location,
sorry,
this
redevelopment
of
an
underutilized
commercial
space
with
additional
residential
units
located
near
commercial
amenities,
employments,
transit
and
active
transit,
represents
good
land-use
planning
and
a
minor
intensification
application.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
here
forward.
N
Man,
staff,
councillor
Neill,
and
it
can
also
confirm
that
notice
was
given
in
accordance
with
the
Planning
Act
this
evening,
and
we
have
received
no
communications,
written
or
I
guess
over
the
phone
because
we
don't
have
verbal
anymore
at
the
counter.
So
we
haven't
received
any
communications
from
members
of
the
public.
Thank.
B
L
L
N
Through
you,
mr.
chair,
it's
James,
Barr,
again
speaking
for
everyone
on
the
the
zoning
bylaw
amendment.
Sorry,
the
zoning
bylaw
requires
that
there
are
ten
square
meters
of
amenity
space
for
each
and
the
development
has
the
ability
to
provide
16.5
years
of
amenities
based
on
site,
given
the
tightness
of
the
existing
development.
That
is
already
there.
L
N
Correct
the
building
exists
as
it
is,
and
they're
just
repurposing,
the
interior
of
it
for
additional
residential
units.
I
believe
the
existing
building
covers
almost
70%
of
the
lot
area,
bearing
in
mind
that
there
is
the
parking
space
and
entrance
to
the
side
of
the
building,
as
well
as
about
a
meter
of
space
around
the
sides
and
rear
of
the
building.
L
L
The
location
of
the
bicycle
saying
because
if
you
are
not
parking,
I,
think
part
of
our
thinking
is
there
better
be
opportunities
for
bike
storage
and
it
seems
to
me
that
what's
being
proposed
is
inadequate
like
I.
Don't
it's
on
the
side
of
the
building,
I
think
that's
particularly
insecure
in
the
neighborhood
and
there's
a
lot
of
bikes
left
in
that
north
kingstown,
and
so
in
its
a
person
complaint.
L
N
N
Perfect,
so
if
we
look
at
the
the
site
plant
here,
the
top
of
the
drawing
is
Queen
Street
and
the
bottom
of
the
drawing
is
the
adjacent
lot
lines
in
the
back
of
the
building.
There
isn't
sufficient
room
to
accommodate
bike
parking
anywhere
on
site
other
than
the
place
that
it
is
currently
proposed.
The
bike
parking:
that's
there
on
the
side
of
the
building
is
also
going
to
be
secured.
N
There
will
be
an
ability
to
lock
your
bike,
so
that's
not
just
their
visible
and
it
isn't
a
bit
more
of
a
secure
location
being
located
interior
to
the
site
so
away
from
the
street
and
near
to
entrances
to
the
building.
So
it's
not
as
though
it's
completely
put
up
at
the
front
of
the
property
where
it
would
be
a
little
bit
more
visible
so
from
a
SEP,
10,
/
spective.
This
area
is
a
little
bit
more
secure.
N
Will
be
visible
from
the
street
when,
when
you
look
down
the
driveway,
but
it's
not
as
though
right
there
on
the
street,
there
could
be
a
vehicle
parked
in
front
of
it
and
it's
located
next
to
two
entrance
doors.
So
it's
not
tucked
around
behind
the
side
of
the
building
where
no
persons
go
here.
It
gives
it
a
bit
more
eyes
on
the
street
perspective
because
there
are
patrons
of
the
building
will
be
entering
and
exiting
the
site
through
the
doors
which
are
adjacent
to
the
bike.
Parking.
L
L
B
J
B
A
O
Here
mr.
Thompson
and
you
mr.
are
the
only
I
want
to
thank
staff,
mr.
Barr
for
the
presentation
and
the
overview
of
application.
The
only
one
he's
a
thought
that
I
would
like
to
add
is
that
the
applicant.
We
continue
to
work
with
staff
through
the
processing
of
the
state
plan,
control
application,
so
just
to
confirm
that
this
application
is
subject
to
say,
plan
control,
it's
not
yet
obviously
been
finalized,
and
it
will
not
be
for
until
the
conclusion
of
phoning
go
through
a
process.
O
We
will
absolutely
into
consideration
that
bicycle
location
from
a
quick
review
on
a
point,
six
meter,
side
and
rear
yard
and
I
do
not
I'm
confident
that
will
not
locate
your
fit
in
that
location.
However,
the
security
of
that
bike
rack
that
could
be
something
that
considered
through
state
plan
control.
Secondly,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
this
application,
we're
proposing
to
additional
dwelling
units
and
two
existing
dwelling
units
are
in
the
existing
building,
so
a
on
site
amenity
space
at
ten
square
meters
per
dwelling
unit
would
necessitate
in
total
through
this
220
square
meters.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
point
that
20
small
consideration
out
as
it
relates
to
the
the
relief
being
thought
it's
around
four
square
meters
from
20
down
to
the
keen,
as
opposed
to
40,
based
on
the
legal
non-compliant
of
the
exert,
the
legal
amount
complying
interesting
situation.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
further
questions
in
associations.
Mr.
Barr.
B
B
L
I'll
be
brief,
just
following
up
on
what
don't
so
Neal
and
I
was
saying
before.
Is
it
I
recognize
that
there's
a
tendency
here
to
want
to
make
this
work
and
there's
limited
flexibility,
a
site
like
this,
and
it
does
occur
in
the
downtown,
with
fair
regularity
and
so
amenities,
space,
parking,
bicycles,
storage
or
is
relatively
minor
to
the
larger
issues
involved
with
this
application.
I
understand
that
that's
the
approaches
staff
will
take,
but
we're
down
to
I,
think
0.25
of
the
space
parking
and
bicycle
storage,
which
I
think
is
questionable
an
amenity
space.
L
L
It
doesn't
mean
anything
we
have
minimums,
but
we
don't
stick
to
them
and
that's
a
bit
disturbing
now,
in
a
case
like
this,
you
can
say
like
she
knows
what
I
just
can't
work
any
other
way
so
and
that's
fine
but
I'd
like
to
know
more
about
what
the
rationale
is
for
the
minimums
and
because
there
are
been
cases
where
we
have
not
stuck
to
them
unit,
size
and
so
on
and
I
think
we
have
to
look
ahead
to
people
have
to
live
there.
So
that's
my
final
comment.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
sure
there
is
an
explanation.
I,
don't
see
anybody
jumping
into
the
fray
here,
so
I
will
see
no
other
hand,
so
I'll
call
the
question
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
Thank
you
we'll
move
on
to
our
second
and
last
proposal
in
front
of
us,
and
that
is
Gore
Road.
Yes,
235
Gore,
Road
and.
A
H

P
P
The
purpose
and
effect
of
the
subject
application
is
to
apply
a
modified
c2
zone
to
the
subject
property,
to
enable
a
one-story,
2,000
square
metre
commercial
development,
which
will
accommodate
six
commercial
units.
I
should
also
mention
that
the
proposal
will
require
site
plan
control
approval.
An
application
is
currently
under
review
next
slide.
Please,
the
locations
illustrated
here
at
an
aerial
photo.
P
P
There
are
a
number
of
single-family
dwellings
in
the
neighborhood
surrounding
the
property
there's
also
a
bank
in
the
northwest
corner
fire
station
located
to
the
west
and
a
retirement
residence
is
under
development
in
the
southwest
side
of
the
property
next
slide.
Please,
these
photos
are
in
the
staff
report
just
illustrate
the
existing
development.
The
Rideau
town
center
is
anchored
by
a
grocery
store.
There's
a
number
of
commercial
tenants
in
the
plaza.
The
next
slide
illustrates
some
of
the
pathways.
P
It's
very
well
connected
through
paths
to
the
adjacent
neighborhoods
through
a
breezeway
as
well
in
the
existing
building.
There's
currently
in
the
top-left
there's,
currently
an
informal
path,
that's
connecting
to
the
homes
on
winfield
crescent,
and
this
is
proposed
to
be
formalized
through
the
subject.
The
proposed
development
next
slide
please
this
is
the
the
existing
designation
of
the
property
is
in
a
district
commercial
land
use
designation
in
the
Rideau
community
secondary
plan.
P
There's
low
density,
residential
designation
on
the
north
east
and
south
district
commercial
areas
are
intended
to
be
the
major
commercial
business
activity,
areas
for
the
Rideau
community
and
Kingston
East
and
shopping
centers
are
limited
to
these
designations.
The
proposed
commercial
use
can
form
to
this
overall
policy
direction.
P
The
next
slide
illustrates
the
existing
zoning
and
the
the
c2
zone
is
proposed
over
the
entire
gray
shaded
area
and
a
modified
form
addressing
some
relief
that
was
identified
through
the
technical
review.
The
MVC
and
the
MVC
one
zone
are
proposed
to
be
removed
and
I'll
get
into
some
details
on
that
quickly
and
then
upcoming
slides.
P
The
applicant
has
increased
the
landscape
buffer
at
the
south
side
of
the
property
to
now
stretch
over
the
entire
south
lot
line
and
there's
a
number
of
additional
tree
plantings
proposed
here,
which
will
of
course
be
finalized
or
worked
out
through
the
site
plan
control
application.
There
is
an
intent
to
plant
some
additional
trees
which
address
some
comments
from
forestry
and
Parks
and
planning,
as
well
as
some
comments
that
we
received
as
part
of
the
application.
P
Garbage
enclosures
have
been
moved
out
of
the
required
setbacks
and
are
concentrated
behind
the
post
building
landscape
meeting
median
has
been
added
to
the
parking
area
of
the
proposed
development,
and
a
potential
pathway
is
now
shown
not
just
the
pathway
connecting
to
the
properties
to
the
south,
but
also
potentially
to
the
retirement
residence
which
is
being
redeveloped
to
the
to
the
west.
There
does
seem
to
be
a
desire
for
that
pathway
noticed
on
site
there's
an
informal
trail.
That's
that's
formed
there,
so
this
will
be
explored
further
through
the
site
plan
application.
P
There
were
comments
to
receive
from
two
homeowners
to
the
south,
as
well
as
comments
received
at
the
public
meeting.
There
have
not
been
any
comments
since
since
that
the
staff
report
was
finalized.
The
comments
can
be
primarily
grouped
into
the
following
headings,
and
I
can
get
into
any
of
these
the
comments
and
responses
in
the
question
period.
If
the
committee
would
like
to
discuss
them
in
the
next.
Oh
sorry,
we
haven't
addressed
in
the
slides,
sorry
James
I'm
sort
of
going
off
on
my
own
here.
P
P
P
There's
two
other
items
that
were
that
are
linked
through
further
review.
It
was
determined
that
the
overall
site
did
not
meet
the
minimum
landscaped
open
space
requirement
of
20%
staff
worked
with
the
applicant
to
increase
the
landscaping
and
it
was
able
to
be
brought
up
to
18%
that
did
eliminate
approximately
41
parking
spaces
at
the
south
side
of
the
property,
so
that
in
turn
required
some
parking
relief
from
a
to
a
parking
rate
of
one
parking
space
per
19.2.
P
These
are
this
is
an
excerpt
from
the
staff
report
illustrating
the
permitted
uses
that
are
currently
in
the
mixed
village
center
zones
and
what
would
subsequently
be
permitted
in
the
c2
zone
that
would
be
applied
and
intended
to
to
highlight.
There
are
some
minor
residential
permissions
that
apply
now
to
dwelling
units
are
currently
permitted
and
that's
as
well
as
a
library.
That's
at
a
point
in
time.
I
think
a
library
was
thought
of
for
this
site,
but
ended
up
being
established
at
the
in
the
historic
building
on
Gore
Road.
P
P
Sorry
consistent
with
the
provincial
policy
statement
and
conforms
to
the
city's
Official
Plan.
The
proposed
development
will
add
additional
commercial
uses
to
an
underutilized
commercial
site
which
is
fully
serviced
and
within
the
urban
boundary.
The
proposal
meets
the
overall
intent
of
the
community,
the
Rideau
community
secondary
plan
by
establishing
additional
commercial
uses
in
one
of
the
two
district
commercial
designations,
which
are
intended
to
be
focal
areas
of
commercial
and
business
activity.
P
L
L
P
L
L
If
you
don't
do
it
properly,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
know
the
size
and
I
say
this,
because
in
my
experience,
if
the
trees
aren't
like
50
millimetres
or
more
people,
they
don't
grow
fast,
I'm
big
enough,
so
that
people
really
appreciate
them
and
then
quite
often
just
sticks
in
the
ground,
but
a
guy
off
at
quite
a
rate,
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
we,
what
our
requirements
are
for
the
replacement
trees
in
that
location.
Thank
you.
P
Yes
through
you,
mr.
chair,
our
replacement
requirements
are
my
understanding.
There
isn't
a
specific
requirement
with
respect
to
size,
although
we
would
certainly
keep
that
in
mind
in
reviewing
the
the
landscaping
plans
and
and
what
would
provide
the
best
screening
on
a
on
a
year-round
basis,
the
coniferous
trees
versus
the
leafy
trees,
certainly
from
a
planning
perspective.
We
would
look
at
that
in
forestry
and
Parks
I'm
sure
would
be
looking
at
that
from
a
certain
point
of
view
as
well.
P
The
tree
by
law
does
require
two
trees
for
one
tree
in
good
condition
to
be
provided
as
a
replacement
ratio.
So,
if
there's,
if
there's
good
trees
and
good
condition
on
the
site,
there
will
need
to
be
two
in
place
that
are
planted.
We'll,
certainly
look
at
that
closely
as
part
of
site
plan
control,
but
the
intent
is
to
provide
visual
buffering,
because
certainly
the
the
loading
area
of
the
building
is
something
that
we
would
want
to
screen
great.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
the
other
thing
is
on
the
parking.
It's
an
interesting
metric,
so
many
spaces
for
so
much
commercial
square.
Footage
ticket
staff
understand
that
metric
and
they
are
they
satisfied
that
enough
parking
spaces
to
serve
that
commercial.
The
additional
commercial
development
is
satisfactory.
P
3
mr.
chair,
the
parking
ratio
that's
being
proposed
has
been
recently
applied
to
the
shopping
center
along
Highway
15
that
was
recently
approved.
So
it's
thought
to
be
a
fairly
up-to-date
understanding
of
what
is
required
for
a
shopping
center
of
this
nature.
It's
also
similar
to
another
parking
rates
that
have
been
applied
for
shopping
centers
in
the
townships,
Kingston
Township,
as
well
as
Pittsburgh,
Township,
they're,
very
close
and
traditionally
based
on
Ariel
I
did
do
a
scan
of
aerial
photography
and
I
seems
as
though
the
applause
has
been
traditionally
over
supplied
with
with
parking.
B
B
B
Seeing
none
I'll
call
the
question
all
those
in
favor
Kerry.
Thank
you
very
much
that
ends
our
business
portion
for
tonight.
I'll
just
complete
this
before
we
move
to
adjournment,
can
I
ask
James
and
Derek,
and
perhaps
councillor
Kiley,
to
stick
around
just
for
a
minute
to
talk
about
something
technical
that
had
