MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY J. E. SNIEZEK ON NOVEMBER 4, 2011 AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

2200474 Ontario Ltd. applied for four variances to By-law 1-88 as amended subject to special exception 9 (1247) and the variances were approved. The variances were appealed by Canuck Properties Ltd. (the Appellant). LRT Investment Group Ltd. (the Developer) purchased the property and has finalized negotiations with the Appellant calling for 34 live-work units (previously limited to 24 units) having a maximum height of eleven metres (previously three storeys) and one heritage property with the provision of 216 parking spaces - 177 parking spaces, 5 handicapped parking spaces and 34 car parking spaces within garages (previously 181 parking spaces). These parking provisions exceed the zoning requirement of 101 spaces. In addition, 21 on-street parking spaces are shown on the site plan. These spaces may not be permanent given the fact that they are located on a regional road and future traffic improvements might necessitate their reduction or removal.

The revised site plan has been filed with the City of Vaughan (the City) and the Developer and the Appellant are satisfied with the site plan as submitted. The final details with respect to landscaping have yet to be finalized but the concept has been accepted.

The Parties ask that the appeal be allowed in part and the variances to By-law 1-88 be granted to permit 34 live work units on the site and one heritage unit subject to the provision of 216 parking spaces and subject to the height of the live work units not to exceed 11 m.

Re: Parking Study for 8204 Kipling Avenue Woodbridge, City of Vaughan City File: A285-12, Our File 21244

Mark Engineering has completed its parking study for the proposed development at 8204 Kipling Avenue in Woodbridge. This study is in support of a minor variance application related to the on-site parking supply. In completing this study, and at the request of City staff, supplementary (actual) traffic count data was collected from two similar live-work sites in the City of Vaughan to be used as a comparative model for the subject development.

A. Proposed Development

The proposed development is to consist of 35 live-work units, which includes the heritage house, and a total commercial floor area of 809.26 m² gross floor area. The live components will have 3 bedrooms.

Each of the live-work units will have a garage.

In the future, an additional 10 live-work units may be added to the site. Although these future units do not currently have planning status, this parking supply study assumes the inclusion of these units as a “worse-case” scenario. These units will not have garages.

The total build-out of the site is assumed to be 45 live-work units.

The proposed parking supply is 197 spaces, consisting of 34 garages and 163 at grade spaces.

The site plan is shown in Figure 1.

Parking Study for 8204 Kipling Avenue, Woodbridge

Page 2 of 7

B. By-Law Parking Requirements

The current zoning by-law 1-88 requires 2 spaces per residential [townhouse] unit

The employment area requirements would be 2.0 spaces/100 m² gross floor area or 3.5 spaces per unit, which ever is greater.

It is assumed that one of the residential spaces would be for the residents and one space would be for visitors.

Under these requirements, the total parking requirements would be 203 spaces, as shown in Table S1.

The City of Vaughan commissioned a "Review or of Parking Standards Contained within the City of Vaughan's Comprehensive Zoning By-Law" by the IBI Group, DATED March 2010. The report cites the difficulties in applying strict standards to live-work as this business class was widely varying. Nonetheless, it notes that application of current standard of cumulative requirements for residential and home occupation are high:

Section 4.1.4 states that the parking requirements could be:

“Home-based businesses should generally be supported as they encourage mixed use, promote economic development, and generally reduce travel needs of residents. The current parking requirements of 2 spaces for Home Occupation and Cottage Industry land uses, in addition to residential requirements, are high given that such uses may often generate little additional employee or customer parking…As such, it is proposed that these three categories be amalgamated into one use with the following parking requirements:

• Home-based business: 1 parking space in addition to residential requirements, which can be provided as a tandem parking space.

Though not proposed as part of the current by-law due to the fact that defining a “live-work” use definition requires more study given the larger implications, parking requirements that could be applied at a future date could be:

• Live-work unit with work area < 200 m2Greater of 1.5 spaces per unit or corresponding residential requirement (whichever is greater).

• Live-work unit with work area > 200 m2 Sum of required parking for residential and commercial uses based on individual standards. Commercial parking requirement should be calculated based on the floor area dedicated to this use.

These standards assume that once the work area goes beyond a certain size, parking for the commercial use dominates over the residential function and generates higher parking demand. Further study is recommended for planning and zoning policy on live-work units.

Under the proposed Review, the parking supply requirements for this site would be 90 spaces.C. Proxy Surveys

To confirm the parking demand trends of live-work units, and as requested by staff, proxyparking usage surveys were done at two sites.

The first site is on the north side of Major Mackenzie Drive just west of Keele Street. It consists of 18 live-work units that include an employment area of 660± m². There are 16 parking spaces in garages and 16 parking spaces at-grade. [See Figure 2] The street number range from 2286 to 2302.

Figure 2 – Proxy Site 1

Parking Study for 8204 Kipling Avenue, Woodbridge

Page 5 of 7

The second site is at 9699 Jane Street south of Avro Road. It consists of 32 live-work units that include an employment area of 4900± m2. All of the parking spaces are located in the parking lot: there are no garages. [See Figure 3]

Figure 3 – Proxy Site 2

The parking usage at the two sites was surveyed twice. The first survey occurred on Wednesday, October 24, 2012. The results are shown in Table S2.

The actual usage at Site 1 was probably higher than the survey since it was not possible to record the vehicles that were parking in the garages. For analysis purposes, it was assumed that the garages were fully used.

Since Site 1 was a small site and Site 2 was a big site, it was thought that the parking rates for the residential units and the work units could be determined by solving for the coefficients of the parking equations, as shown in the Rate Calculations section of Table

Parking Study for 8204 Kipling Avenue, Woodbridge

Page 6 of 7

S3. Unfortunately, the analysis resulted in a negative coefficient for the residential units, which does not make sense. It is noted that the coefficient for the commercial was 3.66 spaces/100 m² gross floor area, which is a reasonable number.

If it is assumed that there was no residential parking, the commercial parking usage rates shown in the Commercial Parking Rates section of Table S3 range from 0.91 spaces/100 m² gross floor area to 2.85 spaces/100 m² gross floor area.

The second survey occurred on Tuesday, October 30, 2012. The results are shown in Table S4.

Since Site 1 was a small site and Site 2 was a big site, it was thought that the parking rates for the residential units and the work units could be determined by solving for the coefficients of the parking equations, as shown in the Rate Calculations section of Table S5. The analysis resulted in a negative coefficient for the residential units, which does not make sense. It is noted that the coefficient for the commercial was 2.68 spaces/100 m² gross floor area, which is a reasonable number.

If it is assumes that there was no residential parking, the commercial parking usage rates shown in the Commercial Parking Rates section of Table S3 range from 1.36 spaces/100 m² gross floor area to 2.63 spaces/100 m² gross floor area.

The results of the proxy parking surveys are mixed, at best. They do indicate that the parking usage for the commercial is substantially less than the commercial parking requirement in By-Law 1-88.

D. Proposed Parking Requirements

Based on the low commercial parking usage rates in the survey data, it is proposed to use parking requirements that are a modification of the By-Law 1-88 requirements.

The live component requirements of the units would remain at 2 spaces per unit.

The work component would have a requirement of 3.0 space/100 m² gross floor work area.

The requirement of 3.5 spaces/unit would not be used.

The reasoning is that the majority of the units will have garages that will not be available to the public. With one vehicle parked in the garage, there should be room for 1 other vehicle that is visiting the live component or the work component.

The resulting parking requirement would be 115 spaces, which is 82 less than the proposed supply.

Parking Study for 8204 Kipling Avenue, Woodbridge

Page 7 of 7

E. Conclusions

The conclusions are:

1. The live-work parking requirements should be 2 spaces per live unit and 3.0 spaces/100 m² gross floor area of the work unit.

2. The proposed parking requirement would then be 115 spaces.

3. The proposed parking supply of 197 spaces should be more than sufficient to serve the expected demand.

F. Recommendations

The recommendations are:

1. The parking requirements for live-work units should be 2 spaces per live unit and 3.0 spaces/100 m² gross floor area of the work unit.

2. The proposed parking supply of 197 spaces be deemed sufficient to serve the expected parking demand.

8158, 8196 and 8204 Kipling Avenue, Woodbridge Ward 2, Vicinity of Kipling Avenue and Langstaff Road

Proposal:

The Owner is requesting permission to construct 35 live/work units with a minimum of 197 parking spaces, whereas By-law 1-88 requires a minimum of 216 parking spaces (OMB Decision PL110055).

Official Plan:

The subject lands are designated “Mid-Density Mixed Use” by in-effect OPA #240 (Woodbridge Community Plan), as amended by in-effect OPA #679 and OPA #695. The subject lands are also designated “Low-Rise Mixed-Use” by the new City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010, which is subject to approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. The proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.

Comments:

On December 16, 2010, the Committee of Adjustment approved Minor Variance Application A291/10 to permit the following on the subject lands:

1. 35 live/work units, whereas the By-law requires 24 live/work units;

2. A minimum of 181 total parking spaces, whereas the By-law requires 232 parking spaces;

3. A maximum of 3 storey live/work units, whereas the By-law requires 2 storey live/work units; and

4. A maximum of 44 commercial units to be used only for business and professional offices to be located within Blocks B1 and B2 (as per the attached sketch), whereas the By-law requires commercial units to be located in Blocks A, B, C, D, E and H, as shown on Schedule E-1374.

The decision of the Committee of Adjustment was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by the Owner of the neighbouring property. On November 18, 2011, the OMB issued a memorandum of an Oral Decision delivered by J.E. Sniezek and the Order of the Board, which allowed the appeal in part to increase the number of live/work units from 24 to 34 units and one heritage unit subject to the provision of 216 parking spaces (177parking spaces, 5 handicapped parking spaces and 34 car parking spaces within garages) and a height limitation of 11.0m.

lands submitted an additional Minor Variance Application (File A185/11) to permit a maximum building height of 11.55m and reductions in driveway width and parking space dimensions. This application was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on December 8, 2011. For Minor Variance Application A285/12, the Applicant is requesting a further reduction in parking to 197 spaces, as the Site Plan used as evidence before the OMB contained geometric calculation errors such that 216 parking spaces cannot be achieved. The Applicant submitted a Parking Study prepared by Mark Engineering, dated October 31, 2012. The Vaughan Development/Transportation Engineering Department has requested that the Owner revise the submitted Parking Study, and is requesting further adjournment of the application. The Development Planning Department concurs with this request, and recommends that Minor Variance Application A285/12 be adjourned until such time that the Applicant submits a revised parking study for review and approval by the Development/Transportation Engineering Department.

Recommendation:

The Development Planning Department requests adjournment of Minor Variance Application A285/12, until such time that the Owner submits a revised parking study as per the specifications of the Vaughan Development/Transportation Engineering Department, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Vaughan Development/Transportation Engineering Department.

Condition(s):

Location: 8158, 8196 and 8204 Kipling Avenue Proposal: 1) To permit a minimum of 197 parking spaces for the site. By-Law Requirements: 1) A minimum of 216 parking spaces are required for the site.

(OMB Decision PL110055). Comments: The Development/Transportation Engineering Department has

reviewed the Parking Study prepared by Mark Engineering, dated October 31, 2012 for the above mentioned application and provides the following comments: The parking rates for this development have been approved as part of the OMB decision under file PL 110055. The minimum required parking spaces as per board decision is 216 spaces. However the total proposed parking supply is 197 spaces.

The report concludes that the proposed parking supply would be sufficient for development’s specific requirements. This conclusion is substantiated by parking utilization surveys conducted by the traffic consultant on the existing similar facilities.

The study should be revised to include more information and address the following comments:

1. The study shall provide more information with regards to the proxy sites.

2. The lay-by parking spaces cannot be counted towards the parking supply for a development.

3. The study shall include existing utilization rates for proxy sites.

4. The study should also include more details on the OMB decision under file PL 110055.

The Development/Transportation Engineering requests adjournment of Minor Variance Application A285/12, until such time that the Owner submits revised parking study and the parking study is reviewed and approved by the Development/Transportation Engineering Department.

The Committee Decision was appealed by the adjacent landowner to the OMB. The OMB increased the required parking spaces to 216 spaces under file PL110055. Accordingly, the Development/Transportation Engineering Department requests adjournment of Minor Variance Application A285/12, until such time that the Owner submits a parking study for review and approval by the Development/Transportation Engineering Department.
