D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36

neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age
The following motion was considered
PDD104-2014 1 That the report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 to the Planning Design and Development Committee Meeting of June 9 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill) be received and

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact
Questions concerns and comments received are addressed in the report

G 1 Report from D VanderBerg Central Area Planner Planning and Building Division dated May 7 2014 re Application to Amend the Zoning By-law ndash Davis Webb LLP ndash Yvonne and Randall Bowers ndash 8 Joseph Street ndash Ward 5 (File C01W06074)
The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact
Questions concerns and comments received are addressed in the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Jenn Morrison Development Planner provided details on the technical aspects of the application Ms Morrison noted that the subject land is designated ldquoResidentialrdquo in the Official Plan and designated ldquoLow Density Residentialrdquo in the Secondary Plan An amendment to the Secondary Plan is required to allow commercial uses in a low density designation The subject property is zoned ldquoAgricultural (A)rdquo in the Zoning By-law and an amendment is required to permit the office and commercial uses Staff will continue to process the application and prepare a recommendation report to be brought back to Committee that will include comments and questions received at the meeting
Members of the public addressed Committee as follows
Nurul Syed Fairwood Circle Brampton expressed concern on the visual impact of the commercial development in the predominantly residential area Area residents use the walkway behind the subject lands and do not want to lose the use of it Mr Syed suggested that low rise residential would best suit the subject site and character of the neighbourhood
Committee advised that documents from the public such as pictures and letters may be submitted to the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the subject site will be connected to full regional services and will not include a masonry wall as the intent is to make it look as residential as possible A wall may be installed only in places where a noise study would warrant and a tree inventory has been requested with the expectation to protect as many trees as possible

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature

neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age
The following motion was considered
PDD104-2014 1 That the report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 to the Planning Design and Development Committee Meeting of June 9 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill) be received and

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact
Questions concerns and comments received are addressed in the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Members of the public addressed Committee as follows
Nurul Syed Fairwood Circle Brampton expressed concern on the visual impact of the commercial development in the predominantly residential area Area residents use the walkway behind the subject lands and do not want to lose the use of it Mr Syed suggested that low rise residential would best suit the subject site and character of the neighbourhood
Committee advised that documents from the public such as pictures and letters may be submitted to the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the subject site will be connected to full regional services and will not include a masonry wall as the intent is to make it look as residential as possible A wall may be installed only in places where a noise study would warrant and a tree inventory has been requested with the expectation to protect as many trees as possible

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Jenn Morrison Development Planner provided details on the technical aspects of the application Ms Morrison noted that the subject land is designated ldquoResidentialrdquo in the Official Plan and designated ldquoLow Density Residentialrdquo in the Secondary Plan An amendment to the Secondary Plan is required to allow commercial uses in a low density designation The subject property is zoned ldquoAgricultural (A)rdquo in the Zoning By-law and an amendment is required to permit the office and commercial uses Staff will continue to process the application and prepare a recommendation report to be brought back to Committee that will include comments and questions received at the meeting
Members of the public addressed Committee as follows
Nurul Syed Fairwood Circle Brampton expressed concern on the visual impact of the commercial development in the predominantly residential area Area residents use the walkway behind the subject lands and do not want to lose the use of it Mr Syed suggested that low rise residential would best suit the subject site and character of the neighbourhood
Committee advised that documents from the public such as pictures and letters may be submitted to the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the subject site will be connected to full regional services and will not include a masonry wall as the intent is to make it look as residential as possible A wall may be installed only in places where a noise study would warrant and a tree inventory has been requested with the expectation to protect as many trees as possible

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Committee advised that documents from the public such as pictures and letters may be submitted to the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the subject site will be connected to full regional services and will not include a masonry wall as the intent is to make it look as residential as possible A wall may be installed only in places where a noise study would warrant and a tree inventory has been requested with the expectation to protect as many trees as possible

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age
The following motion was considered
PDD104-2014 1 That the report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 to the Planning Design and Development Committee Meeting of June 9 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill) be received and

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

D 7 Report from N Rea Land Use Policy Planner Planning and Infrastructure Services dated May 14 2014 re City of Brampton Initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law to Regulate Building Additions and Replacement Dwellings in the Cityrsquos Older Mature Neighbourhoods ndash City Wide (File P80 OP Review Infill)
Members of the public requested a presentation on this item
Natasha Rea Land Use Policy Planner provided details on the City initiated Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law that included the following
Proposed planning amendment is an approach to protect older mature neighbourhoods from incompatible additions and replacement dwellings
The City retained Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc (SGL) to undertake a study on Bramptonrsquos mature residential neighbourhoods and recommend changes to the Official Plan Zoning By-law and an approach for reviewing proposals
The City-initiated planning amendments are intended to replace Interim Control By-law 35-2013 that requires building additions greater than 15 of the existing size to go through a City review and approval process
The draft Official Plan amendment establishes policies that recognize the uniqueness of older mature area neighbourhoods and requires that building additions and replacement dwellings be compatible within the host neighbourhood
o Requires massing scale and height of a replacement dwelling or addition to be an appropriate fit within the host neighbourhood
o Requires a scoped site plan approval process for any proposal that is greater than 50 square metres (540 square feet)
The draft Zoning By-law amendment proposes regulations for single detached dwellings within the Cityrsquos mature
2014 06 09 Page 17 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age
The following motion was considered

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

neighbourhoods to control coverage setbacks and building heights
Mature neighbourhoods refer to areas with homes generally constructed prior to 1980
The proposed Citizenrsquos Guide to Neighbourhood Character prepared by SGL is a tool to help home owners design building additions and replacement dwellings that will enhance the streetscape and ensure that the architectural style is compatible within the neighbourhood
The Citizenrsquos Guide will be available with other planning resources at the Planning Counter or on the Cityrsquos website once the planning achievements have been adopted
Building permit applications for additions and replacement dwellings in mature neighbourhoods will be evaluated against zoning regulations
A scoped site plan process will be triggered if the proposal is greater than 50 square metres or 540 square feet
Associated site plan processing fee will range from $500-$700 and will cover the cost of the review
Next steps include review of public input a Recommendation Report for the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law to the Planning Design and Development Committee in early September 2014 and Council adoption by late September 2014
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified that the Cityrsquos Zoning standards apply to all development applications at all times and an addition or replacement dwelling is not to exceed thirty percent of the lot The mature neighbourhoods outlined in the study were recommended by the consultants Not all neighbourhoods established prior to 1980 will qualify as a mature neighbourhood and neighbourhoods will not be excluded based solely on age

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact
Questions concerns and comments received are addressed in the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together
Trees green roofs and landscaping elements are proposed by the applicant in effort to improve visual impact
Questions concerns and comments received are addressed in the report

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood

Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership

entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal

Lynn Wallace Eldomar Avenue Brampton provided Committee with a petition containing 52 signatures of area residents who oppose the development and a hard copy of photographs of the neighbourhood with a building photo-shopped into the subject location Ms Wallace then expressed her concerns with the development proposal and stated the following
The building will dwarf everything in the neighbourhood There are 308 units proposed on a site that would hold no more
than 19 single detached homes The building is incompatible with the neighbourhood and is ten-
times the height of surrounding structures The development is 16 to 20-times the density of what is in the
area currently The area infrastructure is unable to support a drastic surge in
population There are a few apartment buildings in the area and none
exceeds 12 storeys The development will ruin the character of the mature
neighbourhood
Barbara-Anne Smith Cornwall Road Brampton opposes the proposed development and stated the following
The development does not suit the neighbourhood The density cannot be supported by the infrastructure or
resources The area needs revitalization not high density population Other issues in the neighbourhood should take precedence over
development
In response to questions from Committee staff clarified the following
The applicant reduced the proposed building height for the building located to the west as reflected on page F3-9a of the report
The draft plans are available to the public in the Planning department
The area is generally zoned for commercial and auto repair Unable to provide comment on the photos of the photo-shopped
building submitted by the delegation as it is unknown how it was put together

The following motions were considered
Ron Webb Davis Webb LLP stated that he represents the owners of the property The owners applied to amend the Zoning By-law to legalize the third rental unit of the subject property The units have been in use since 1995 and the owners believed it complied with the By-law when they purchased the property Mr Webb suggested that the Committee adopt the recommendations outlined in the report as they are consistent with the provincial statement and policies and can be considered good planning Mr Webb requested that Committee not impose the conditions of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and a conveyance of 25 metre road allowance widening The money required for the cash-in-lieu would be better spent on improvements to the building and the conveyance of land will not be useful to the City The conditions will create difficulties for the owners
Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law
requirement owners will be required to pay High crime rate in the area need to ensure that desirable
tenants are attracted to the neighbourhood
2014 06 09 Page 27 of 36
MINUTES Planning Design and Development Committee
Owners may not always own the property no guarantee what will become of units under new ownership
In response to questions from Committee staff advised the following
Cash-in-lieu should be payable as required by the By-law There is no evidence of previous payments made owners not
entitled to a credit No evidence to suggest that parkland was provided The City does not search the Downtown core for illegal
additional units in dwellings An amendment to the Official Plan is not necessary The dwelling consists of an underground unit and two upper
level units all are fully contained and have separate entrances The dwelling could not approved as a group home as it does not
meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities

Committee consideration of the matter included the following
Need to improve the look of the surrounding neighbourhood Three unit dwelling is excessive for the area Legalizing a three unit dwelling may encourage others in the
area to create additional units Credits towards cash-in-lieu for previous years of ownership Application consistent with the provincial policy and Downtown
Secondary Plan that encourages infill Property owners responsible landlords maintain lands and
make consistent repairs Committee does not have discretion in cash-in-lieu By-law

meet the distancing requirements and there are policies in place to protect the existing communities
