Presentation(s):
Aníta Sott, Senior Planner with WSP (Ottawa office, 2611 Queensview Drive) addressed the Committee about the City of Quinte West lndustrial Lands, Community lmprovement Plan. For complete details, refer to the full presentation attached to Official Minutes.
Chair Alyea stated his thanks for the presentation and opened the floor to questions from the Committee.
Councillor O'Neil stated that it was a great program to encourage investment. He stated he had a question with respect to the lncrement Equivalent Grant. Councillor O'Neil questioned what would happen during the five (5) year time frame if taxes increased. Page 2 PD-PAC-04-19
Ms. Sott stated that the applicant would get it on the difference. She stated that if the property was reassessed and the taxes increased the difference is what the City is consídering the tax increment. Ms. Sott stated the application would be scored and the applicant would receive a percentage of that increment as the grant.
Councillor O'Neíl stated that if the taxes went up two percent (2 Vo) in year two, they would get forty percent (40 o/o) of the five thousand one hundred ($5,100.00).
Ms. Sott confirmed that was correct
Councillor McCue noted that the objective states that the City of Quinte West is committed to promoting economic growth by providing incentives to attract new businesses and encourage investment from existing businesses, ensuring quality employment, modern work environments, and a diverse, advanced industrial sector for the overall benefit and prosperity of the City. He stated he would like it changed to read the "City of Quinte West is committed to promoting economic growth by providing incentives to attract new businesses and encourage investment from existing businesses, ensuring quality employment, modern environmentally responsible work environments, and a diverse, advanced industrial sector for the overall benefit and prosperity of the City".
Councillor McCue stated that with the original break down, someone could come in and receive an incentive but not be environmentally conscious and not care about receiving the five (5) points. He acknowledged that they had to approve businesses and they have to meet certain criteria but he doesn't see in the declaration the accountability to be environmentally responsible.
Ms. Sott stated that she just wanted to clarify that it is clear in the document because there are point values associated with each of the criteria. She stated that the intent would be that projects that demonstrate full environmental design performance or reach a maximum number of points would have a higher rebate percentage.
Councillor McCue stated that he understood that but they were not going to be putting that out to the general public or someone else that would like to start a business here. He stated he assumed that somewhere along the line people are going to ask about the CIP and the City is going to release the statement to the public to read. Councillor McCue stated that it would not include anywhere in that statement to be environmentally responsible.
Councillor Cassidy stated that it was a great presentation. He questioned whether Ms. Sott has seen a situation where an applicant has received the incentives and after the five (5) years have passed have left the City. He questioned if there was any kind of assurance where
Page 3 PD-PAC-04-19 someone has been approved and the City has provided that investment is there a mechanism in place to ensure that at the end of the five (5) years they don't end up leaving.
Ms. Sott stated that there was a mechanism within the payment term for successful appticants as they are under a financial agreement with the City. She stated that if anything changed with their business or if they go out of business or face a vacancy, the grant payment would cease. She stated she was unsure if there was a mechanism where the applicant must stay in place beyond the grant payment because there would no longer be an agreement with the City.
Councillor Cassidy asked if she had any examples where after the five (5) year grant portion the Company left the municipality.
Ms. Sott stated she was not personally aware of any situations like that
Mayor Harrison questioned if the vacant land around the water tower had been included to see in any adjustments to the zoning for that piece of property could be made.
Mr. Jardine stated that the project had started by only looking at the vacant lands within the City's three (3) existing industrial parks which had focused on North Murray, over on the eastern side, and the lands being currently marketed. Mr. Jardine stated that to expand the project to include the other industrial lands either owned by the City or private lands would encompass that piece of property. He stated that this process itself does not actually change the zoning, marketability or the ability to develop industrial on any of the industrial lands. Mr. Jardine advised that would go through a separate Planning process through zoning. He stated that this provides financial incentive so that if somebody was to move fonruard with a development there is ability for them to apply for the grant.
Mayor Harrison stated that the second point he would like to address is the industrial land that the City has just purchased in Carrying Place. He stated he hoped they would have taken a look at it and made sure there was a selective process in what is developed in that area.
Mr. Jardine advísed that nothing in this process would prohibit the City from having that level of control. He stated that anytime someone proposes purchase of City owned lands, there is an evaluation process that runs through to Council and we have the ability through zoning to control the types of uses to that land. He stated that when you have a proposal for an industrial park or anywhere in the City that would be adjacent to residential, when it comes to the planning review of the development or even the sale of the land, they have that higher level of review because of the sensitivities.
Councillor Kuntze questioned if there was'a copy of the application available for review
Page 4 PD-PAC-04-r 9
Ms. Sott stated that they had prepared the draft application form and a draft financial agreement that was currently with City staff for review, and the financial agreement would also be reviewed by the City's solicitor.
Councillor Kuntze questioned how the points system was generated for construction value jobs created and the environmental and asked where that points system comes from.
Ms. Sott stated that WSP used the Niagara region community improvement plan in place for their industrial lands as it is a regional plan that encompasses all of the local municipalities. She stated that the evaluation matrix and the points system was heavily based on the evaluations system that Niagara has in place, and had seen a lot of success with attracting types of businesses and awarding the right grant levels to the businesses that they were really looking for. Ms. Sott asked Linda Lisle, Manager of Economic Development and Tourism for the City of Quinte West to speak on the actual points system developed by City staff.
Linda Lisle, Manager of Economic Development & Tourism Services stated that signifícant of other communities that have a similar industrial lands community improvement plan was done She stated that the success of the Niagara region was where they had focused on and with that they had the construction value and a points system determine from two hundred thousand (200,000) to over ten million (10, 000 000) and a points system awarded to that. Mrs Lisle stated that they also looked at the full time jobs created or retained. She stated starting with one (1) to nine (9) new positions and up to hundred (100) plus new positions. She stated they also looked at project location criteria allowing more points to be awarded to City industrial lands and if it did involve privately owned industrial lands as well, then there would be less points awarded to that. Mrs. Lisle stated that with keeping with the intent of the program which was to encourage development in the City industrial parks. She stated that a smaller element to it would be the level of lead certification and the design criteria which was around five (5) points. Mrs. Lisle stated that those areas captured what they felt were really important in determining the number of points and the tax incentive that was granted through the program.
Councillor Kuntze questioned if there was still an opportunity to adjust the point system for the dollar value investment.
Mr. Jardine stated that Staff have looked at recent developments and had run the numbers based on actual development and what that would look like. Mr. Jardine stated that the critical thing for the Committee and Council to know was that they ran those numbers through the Director of Finance.
Mr. Jardine stated that the overall intent at that point in time with that plan which can be amended is to encourage medium to large scale investment into the City. He stated that it is an incentive and not a giveaway to encourage people that are already looking at or coming to Page 5 PD-PAC-04-r 9
look at this municipality for sítes. Mr. Jardine stated that the scoring is based on a balance and they had run a significant number of scenarios with the point weighting to see what the effect would be. Mr. Jardine noted that if they changed other points then it ended up not being really worth anything for the developer.
Mr. Jardine stated that he was comfortable with the evaluation they had done and with the points scoring as it reaches that balance point that is creating an incentive without hurting the City. He advised that the CIP was a living Planning document and that it can be reassessed and monitored. Mr. Jardine advised that as one of the recommendations, they will do a one year report back to Committees and Council to see what the results were and how many people had signed on and what the net effect is financially both to the developer and to the City. He advised that the City has the ability to adjust those numbers moving into the future.
Councillor Kuntze stated that if they were to implement the CIP which had his support, he was hoping that this term of Council would have the ability to review what had been done before a new Council comes in. He asked if City staff still had the examples and if he could review the examples that City staff had run.
Mr. Jardine stated that that was just a numerical exercise. He stated that it was a rebate of the municipal portion only, so it's not the full tax payment an industrial use would pay, it is just the municipal portion which cuts it down significantly. Mr. Jardine stated the information could be provided to the Committee and Council.
Councillor Kuntze asked if any changes being made subsequent to this meeting will be pointed out when the final CIP comes back.
Ms. Sott stated that yes they could provide the Committee a version that has track changes or some other method highlighting very clearly what the edits were.
Councillor McCue questioned whether any retroactivity provisions have been included in the ctP.
Mr. Jardine stated there are no retroactive provisions. Mr. Jardine advised that this is always an issue with any policy change or any program implementation as they are put in place at specific times with the intent of moving fonruard.
Councillor Cassidy noted he was not really clear on LEED certification and stated he was wondering why is there an either or and is there some sort of advantage for people to pursue the LEED designation or a simple definition of the silver, gold and platinum.
Ms. Sott stated that they can augment the plan with the different levels of LEED certification and stated that generally if a developer is interested in LEED they are already pursuing it Page 6 PD-PAC-04-19
outside of the CIP process but it is a mechanism ín the CIP to recognize that a property developer is really putting in an investment in LEED and recognizing it by awarding them points. She stated that some of the design criteria that the City would look for outside of LEED are lower scale investments then what a LEED building and certification might require. She stated those were very high standards that require multiple components to a construction project.
Councillor Cassidy stated that it would be fair to assume that LEED was there for someone who wants to come in and do LEED but typically someone who came in and didn't know one or the other would likely chose the design criteria because they are more economically feasible.
Ms. Sott agreed and stated it was especially for small businesses and smaller to medium size industrial developments achieving LEED may be too great a cost, or just may not be feasible for that particular project but the City design criteria can be achieved.
Councillor Cassidy asked if there was an ability to combine both LEED certification and design criteria to increase an applications point value.
Ms. Sott stated City staff could discuss this but noted she was unsure how it would work with the current matrix.
Chair Alyea thanked Ms. Sott on her presentation and stated that there would be a staff report presented to the Committee under Public Meetings and advised that further questions could be asked at that time.

For complete details, refer to Staff Report #19-055PD (File: D08/CO/19) attached to Official Minutes.
Mr. Scott Pordham, Policy Planner stated that Ms. Sott had covered most of the details of the CIP quíte well in her presentation but he wanted to take the opportunity to go over some of the legislative review. He stated the MunicipalAct grants the municipality power and tools for community improvement. The Act grants municipalities the authority to cancel or defer property taxes on eligible properties.
Page I PD-PAC-04-19
Mr. Pordham stated that the Planning Act provides municipalities with the opportunity to adopt community improvement plans. He advised that adopting a Community lmprovement Plan to stimulate industrial development gives the municipality the authority to provide financial incentives. Mr. Pordham stated that the City's Official Plan includes policies for Community lmprovement Plans and includes criteria for adoption of a ClP. The criteria include the presence of vacant lots and underutilized buildings; and the potential exists for job creation as a result of rehabilitation, redevelopment and other forms of improvement.
Mr. Pordham stated that The Industrial Lands Community lmprovement Plan includes two new financial incentive programs which would be a Tax Increment Equivalent Grant and a Zoning By-law AmendmenV Demolition Permit Application Fee Grant. He stated that Council would not be expected to set out a budget as the City would be foregoing increased revenues as a result of the development.
Mr. Pordham stated that based on the CIP being presented staff are recommending that it be approved and that would be including the expanded community improvement plan project areas that Ms. Sott had discussed.
Linda Lisle, Manager of Economic Development & Tourism Services stated that from an economic development perspective the lndustrial Lands CIP is becoming an important tool being offered by municipalities when competing for potential developments. She stated that she believes this would be the first plan in eastern Ontario to implement an lndustrial Land ClP. Mrs. Lisle stated that it can be a very competitive process when working with a developer or site selector looking for their ideal site and location. Mrs. Lisle advised that this type of financial incentive would be very attractive to them.
Mrs. Lisle stated that these plans have been strongly encouraged by the Ministry of Economic Development Job Creation and Trade. Ms. Lisle advised that often the Ministry when presented with development opportunities are now asking communities if they offer this incentive, and have it included in their request for information so that is part of the proposals being asked by leads that are coming into the Ministry now. She stated that the City of Quinte West offers very competitive land costs, including the cost to bring water and sewer services to the property lines, also no development charges for industrial developments which is an advantage over many communities in Ontario.
Mrs. Lisle advised that the lndustrial Lands CIP would provide another incentive as another tool in terms of Economic Development, to attract new investment and also supporting the businesses that are looking to expand in our City. She advised that they would be looking at significant investments to do that expansion, which would contribute to employment opportunities in Quinte West and in the Region. She stated that the Economic Development Committee has been involved and provided with regular updates about the project, and a task group was established as part of the Economic Development & Tourism Committee and have Page 9 PD-PAC-04-t 9 been very engaged throughout the process. Mrs. Lisle stated that the City's Economic Development staff will be working closely with the Quinte Economic Development Commission on marketing initiatives to promote the lndustrial Lands CIP if approved.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in favour of the proposal. No response
The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the proposal. No response
The Chair asked if anyone had questions/comments regarding the application. No response.
The Chair asked if the Applicant / Agent wished to speak and/or answer any questions. No response.
The Chair asked Committee members if they had questions/comments regarding the applícation.
Councillor Cassidy stated that it appears that we include the development charges and building permit fees within the cost of land and wanted to verify if that was correct.
Mrs. Lisle stated that the City does not have development charges on industrial sites but advised that as part of the current offer package the City does include building permits and costs associated with servicing to the property line in our competitive rate of $35,000 per acre, Mrs. Lisle stated that the City already has an attractive package and the CIP would provide an even stronger one.
Councillor Cassidy questioned if neighbouring municipalities do the same
Mrs. Lisle stated that the City's neighbouring communities do not include development charges on industrial lands. Mrs. Lisle stated that it is an advantage to the City as well as land costs within the region were an advantage.
Councillor Kuntze questioned if staff had given any consideration when it comes to the construction value if there were funds coming from other levels of government going towards the project if it would affect the scoring or points system in any way.
Mrs. Lisle stated that that would not be included as a part of this criteria as they are competing for investments like in the United States, there are so many tax benefits that they are throwing at the clients so it is a very competitive process. She stated that for the City to have another level of Government to provide support, as well as a municipal support financial incentive that would definitely be a huge benefit in the City's favor in attracting investment to the region.
Page 10 PD-PAC-04-r 9
Mayor Harrison stated that there are many cases where the City wouldn't know where the funds are coming from.
Councillor Kuntze stated that companies do not necessarily have to report to the City where the funds are coming from. He stated he liked the idea and they need to generate activity for our industrial areas.
Councillor McCue stated he personally didn't care where the funds come from as he wants to see the buildings go up and people be employed and the spin off that comes from it.
Mr. Searle stated that he knew after speaking with Mr. Jardíne that the amendments to the Official Plan were currently on hold because of the number of changes coming down from the Province. He stated he had walked Hannah Park on the south side where the industrial land has been cleared and there has been quite a change to the park. Mr. Searle stated that if you look at the Tremur Lake area and look at figure 1.4 where it shows where the industrial lands are there is a strip along the south side of Tremur Lake that at some points can be as narrow as 30 m and at how close the industrial lands come to Tremur Lake. He stated that once the Official Plan process starts back up he asked that as a Committee member he would like to see that open space as designated as parkland which would give it a high level of protection and maybe perhaps able to widen that a bit.
Chair Alyea stated that he was sure it would be looked at with the process and was sure that staff had looked at it to the amendment of the Official Plan and there would be suggestions and comments made during that time.
Mr. Crews questioned if any of the sites being recommended are considered Brownfields
Ms. Sott stated that there are no Brownfield grants as a part of CIP but would defer to Mr Jardine to speak on any brownfield sites.
Mr. Jardine stated no it does not include any Brownfield sites at this point in time and is currently a policy area that the City does not have in place. He advised that you have to designate lands as Brownfield and go through a process for rehabilitation in order for people to receive those grants. He stated that at the moment it is only lands that are designated and zoned that will allow for industrial development right now.
Chair Alyea commented that in that the only brownfields he could think of are on privately owned lands, being Domtar. He stated that any development there in the future would have to go through a process and would be a separate approval over and above the ClP.
Page 1 1 PD-PAC-04-19
Mr. Jardine stated that was correct and that the intent of the CIP is to attract development to lands that are shovel ready or close to shovel ready for development.

Staff Report #19-056PD Planning Report / Analysis - Zoning By-law Amendment File: D09/T05/19 Owner: Quinte Healthcare Gorporation c/o Kevin Walsh, Templeman LLP Address: Behind 2l2MacLellan Avenue
For complete details, refer to Staff Report #19-056PD (File: D09/T05/19) attached to Officiat Minutes.
Mr. Brian Jardine stated that the applicant for this application is Quinte Healthcare Corporation He stated that the zoning application being presented was a requirement to be fulfilled as a condition of consent application that was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on July 12,2018 and it was for a lot addition for a small portion land at the rear of 212 Maclellan Avenue. He stated that they would be taking land from the Quinte Healthcare site and adding it to the subject property. Mr. Jardine advised that when Quinte Healthcare went and surveyed their property they found that the residential property located at212 Maclellan Avenue essentially over the years had encroached their yard onto Quinte Healthcare's property. He stated that they initiated a process with the property owner to effectively sell them the land and match the property boundary with the lands that had been developed with the residential lot. Mr. Jardine advised that that portion of the property from the perspective of Quinte Healthcare does not impact their site either currently or for any future development as it is fairly steep and has topography that it would not be able to be developed anyway. He stated that the zoning application is to take the small subject lands from the current Open Space (OS) Zone into the I lot and by doing that will enable the lot addition application to be confirmed and completed.
Mr. Jardine stated that the application maintains the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and the Official Plan.

Mr. Searle stated that when that property was expanded he was sure there was a buildíng permit and inspections done and wanted to know how they could have encroached if that process was followed.
Mr. Jardine stated that the encroachment was not the result of expanded development but was one of those situations where property owners tend to encroach beyond their legal lot in situations without development behind them. He stated this did not come to light until Quinte Healthcare had done their survey.

Mr. Jardine stated that this was a recommendation for final approval for a small six lot subdivision at the end of Hillcrest Drive on the western extent of Hillcrest Drive. He stated that the Committee had seen and approved the draft plan at last month's meeting. Mr. Jardine advised that as discussed, it is a relatively small portion of land that provides a secondary access between the Orchard Lane Subdivision directly to its west and in doing so there is also the opportunity to create additional lots.
Mr. Jardine stated that all of the Engineering design work has been completed, reviewed and is satisfactory to City standards. The plan itself includes six (6) lots with a secondary access road built to full standard, but with an emergency access gate at its eastern end. Mr. Jardine advised that it would only be removed upon Hillcrest Drive beíng brought up to full municipal standard at a time in the future. He stated that the plan also includes turn arounds at either side of the access gate in order for service and emergency vehicles to turn around.

Mr. Jardine stated that this would be the associated application to the Híllcrest Drive application. He stated that this would be Phase 3 of the Orchard Lane Subdivision and that Phase 3 creates that access bridge to Phase 4, which would be for the Scott subdivision previously discussed. Mr. Jardine stated with both of the applications moving forward at the same time if approved, that would allow Phase 3 to be developed with seventy six (76) lots which was the next phase and it would allow that second access through that six (6) lot subdivision to connect. He stated that the critical thing there was that access bridge has to be created in order for the development to move past one hundred (100) units which was the threshold on a single access.

Councillor O'Neil stated that he receives numerous calls about the number of houses that have had a fire and now sit vacant and when looking at the by-law statistics for the last 7 months,
Page 20 PD-PAC-04-19
there have been thirty seven (37) complaints and only a thirty seven percent (37Yo) closure rate and there has been zero (0) fines and zero (0) work required. He stated that it does not sound reasonable to him.
Mr. Jardine stated that the statistics include all property stands issues, not just properties with fires. Mr. Jardine stated that the process of follow through on property standards complaints can be lengthy but Staff do try to deal with the complaints as quickly as possible but in certain cases, it is necessary to get Council direction. He stated that when it comes to something as significant as a property fire where the unfortunate circumstance where the property owner walks away from it and does not do the right thing by either demolishing or fix the property up, we have recently brought them to Council for direction to demolish.
Mr. Jardine advised that one thing they have to make sure on is that the City is able to defend that positíon in court, and by that he means that if a property is damaged by fire but does not pose a public health risk in terms of danger of falling masonry or collapse, the City's hands are fairly tied in terms of what level of action they could take but they do start the process and start to work with the property owner. He stated that while the number stated as the completion rate seems relatively low in terms of by-law completion and completion rate it is actually quite high in terms of level of success. Some of the files still open are in progress and take a number of years to follow through the process.
Councillor O'Neil stated that he had noticed that a lot of the properties only had plastic to separate them and wondered if they shouldn't be fenced off for safety reasons.
Mr. Jardine stated that it would really depend on the situation and level of danger there is and there is also a process that is often quite difficult for the City to go in and take action without going through a legal process of making sure we have gone to the courts. He advised there were some restrictions on the City in terms of going in putting up fencing ourselves and we would usually rely on the property owner to do that. Mr. Jardine stated that if the building has been inspected and there is a suspected risk to public safety, Staff will go in and cordon off properties.
Councillor Kuntze stated with the mention of fíre he was concerned about the recent Bay Street fire and stated that the building is situated close to the sidewalk and questioned if the City should be considering closing off the sidewalk for that corner.
Mr. Jardine stated that he would have to follow up with the Building Department and Public Works Department to see if that inspection has been done.

Mr. Jardine noted that the subdivision has other access points with installed sidewalks for resident use at this time.
Councillor Kuntze advised that he had approached Public Works with regard to the Community Safety Zone between Frost Road and Aikens Road about traffic speeds and volumes and was advised that a traffic study would be required before Stonecrest Estates could proceed and wondered whether the study has been submitted.
Mr. Jardine advised he would have to follow-up on the issue but noted that the developer has a request in with the City to expand to the north east that would require traffic study. Mr. Jardine stated he would follow up with Mr. Angelo as to what he was referring to when speaking with Councillor Kuntze and will report back.
Mr. Searle stated he would like to know if the City has a policy regardíng tree planting in subdivisions.
Mr. Jardine stated that municipalities used to require the developers to plant a tree in the middle of the front yard however, it was found that the municipality would usually have to pull pull the trees out or the developer planted poor quality trees that didn't survive. He advised that the City does not at the moment have a policy of that type but if there was a request from the Committee then an information report could be brought back letting them know what was possible and what could be done.
Mr. Searle stated he would like to request that report

SUBJECT Planning Report / Analysis - Zoning By-law Amendment Application File No: D09/S07/19 Address: 390 Ketchesons Road, Foxboro, ON Legal: Part of Lot24, Concession 5 Ward: Former Township of Sidney Owner: Anthony & Brenda Sine
Recommendation
The Committee recommends that Application D091507119 to amend the Zoning By-law on land owned by Anthony & Brenda Sine, located at 390 Ketchesons Road, being Part of Lot 24, Concession 5 in the former Township of Sidney, now in the City of Quinte West from Rural (RU) Zone to Rural Residential Exception 57 (RR-57) Zone and Rural Exception 35 - Hold (RU-35-H) Zone, be approved.
REGION 1.0 Backqround
Application D09/S07/19 applies to land owned by Anthony & Brenda Sine, located at 390 Ketchesons Road, Foxboro. The property was the subject of Application for Consent B22l19S to sever a developed lot with one (1) single detached dwelling with an existing entrance onto Ketchesons Road. The retained lot is undeveloped; it's stated on the application that the existing and intended use is agriculture. The consent was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on April 11, 2019. One of the conditions of approval is the rezoníng of the severed lot and retained lot. Schedule "A" attached hereto shows the location of the subject lands.
1.1 SiteGharacteristics
The subject property is located north of Frankford Rd and west of Ketchesons Rd. The lands slope downward towards Frankford Rd away from the severed lot. The areas in the northern portions of the subject property are mostly forest. There are two creeks that transect the subject lands, one in the middle just above the farm field and one just north of Frankford Rd.
1.2 Adjacent Land Uses
The subject property is situated in north Sidney. The surrounding land uses include agricultural lands. There are rural residential lots in the Hamlet of Wallbridge to the south of the subject lands.
2.0 Existinq Policv
2.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The subject property is located in the Rural designation and therefore, Section 1.1.5 of the PPS in particular pertains to this property. Permitted uses on rural lands include limited residential development. Section 1 .1.5.4 of the PPS states "development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels should be promoted." When directing development on rural lands, Section 1.1.5.5 of the PPS states "development shall be appropriate to the infrastructure which is planned or available, and avoid the need for the unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion of this infrastructure." The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is a condition of consent Application for ConsentB22ll9S that was granted on April 1 1, 2019, which would be considered limited residential development and would therefore be permitted under thís Section of the PPS.
2 Compliance with the MDS requirements is mandated by both the PPS and the City of Quinte West Official Plan. The severed lot is already developed with a dwelling and therefore the MDS setbacks do not apply. The proposed retained land has a lot area of 58 ha and is identified as intended for Agriculture use only, with no structures proposed However, there is adequate lot area to develop a dwelling outside of the MDS setbacks should plans change.
The PPS requires lhat"locally-important agricultural land uses öe designated and protected by directing non-related development to areas where it will not constrain these uses. " The subject property is designated Rural in the City of Quinte West Official Plan which permits the creation of one consent from a Rural property as it existed on July 17, 2013. As such the residential consent is permitted.
Part V, Section 2.1.6 indicates development shall not be permitted on lands adjacent to natural heritage features unless it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or on their ecological functions. All Official Plan mapping was reviewed and the proposed severed lot is not located within or adjacent to a natural heritage feature. The retained land does have a stream and associated wetland, however, the land is actively farmed and no additional development is proposed.
The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
2.2 Official Plan
The subject property is designated Rural on Schedule "A" to the City of Quinte West Official Plan. Policies pertaining to the Rural designation are located in Section 5.2 of the Official Plan. The goal of the Rural designation is to "preserve and enhance the rural character of the City." Supporting that goal are the following three objectives:
"To protect the established rural character of the Murray and Sidney Ward of the City from uncontrolled strip development.
o To protect existíng agricultural uses and the established rural character of the Murray Ward and Sidney Ward of the City from incompatible forms of development.
a To encourage a variety of economic opportunities in the rural designation, including recreation and tourism as related to natural heritage features and conservation areas, as well as existing rural recreation activities."
3 Based on the Goal of the Rural designation and the supporting objectives, protection of the rural environment and the land uses that make up that rural environment are important to the City.
Permitted uses in the Rural designation include low density residential uses. Section 5.2.4 of the Officíal Plan states "development within the Rural designation shall be limited to type, scale and density consistent with maintaining the character of the rural landscape." The proposed severed and retained lots are appropriately sized rural and rural residential lots consistent with other land uses in the area.
Section 5.2.4 (ii) of the Official Plan states that "the majority of non-farm residential development will be directed to the urban and hamlet settlement areas." Limited residential development may occur in the Rural designation through the Consent process in accordance with the policies of Section 12.12.2.1 and 12.12.2.2 of this Plan. The Consent policies contained in Section 12.12.2.2 of the Official Plan pertain specifically to lands within the Rural designation and permit the creation of one lot from any lot in existence as of July 17,2013. Since the subject property was in existence on July 17,2013 it is eligible for one severance provided all other policies of the Official Plan are complied with." The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is a condition of Consent Application B22l19S that was granted on April 1 1, 2019.
The application maintains the general intent of the Official Plan
2.3 Zoning By-law
The subject property is zoned Rural (RU) on Schedule "D" in the City of Quinte West Zoning By-law 14-86. The RU provisions require a minimum lot area of 2 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres. The RU Zone permits a range of uses including a single detached dwelling, a home industry and a farm. The severed lot will not meet the minimum lot area requirement for the RU Zone and the rezoning is required to recognize a rural residential sized lot with no lot frontage and accesses the public road over an unopened road allowance. The retained lot will meet the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirement of the RU Zone. However, a rezoning is needed to require an Environmental lmpact Study (ElS) and Site Plan should the current or future owners decide to build a dwelling.

The Rural designation does contemplate commercial uses that do not affect the rural nature of the area. The proposed venue has the appearance of a barn and a majority of the subject lands will remain pasture, gardens and natural areas. Site Plan Control and building permits will be required to bring the structure and site into compliance with the zoning, building and fire codes.
The applicatíon conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement, complies with the City's Official Plan, and ultimately results in a desirable and compatible development that represents good planning. This application is recommended for approval.

SUBJECT: Planning Report / Analysis - Zoning By-law Amendment Application File No: D09/S09/19 Address: 130 River Drive, Frankford, ON Legal: Being Par|2, Plan 21R-22432, Part of Lot 5, Concession 6 Ward: Sidney Owner: Beverley Wood & Bryon Wood Agent: Ainley Group c/o Caitlin Sheahan
Recommendation
The Committee recommends that Application D09/S09/19 to amend the Zoning By-law on land owned by Beverley & Bryon Wood, located at 130 River Drive, Frankford, ON, legally described as Part 2, Plan 21R-22432, Parl of Lot 5, Concession 6, former Township of Sidney, now in the City of Quinte West, from Rural (RU) Zone to Residential Type 2 (R2) Zone, be approved.
1.0 Background
The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment applies to land located at 130 River Drive, Frankford. Schedule "A" attached hereto identifies the location of the land subject to the Amendment. øUfum The zoning amendment applies to three future residential lots that received provisional consent granted under Applications for Consent 818119S, 819/195 and 8.201195. The Amendment would rezone the severed lands from Rural (RU) Zone to Residential Type 2 (R2) Zone. The effect of the amendment is to permit the construction of one new residential dwelling per lot, each serviced with municipal infrastructure. The proposed lots are shown on the attached Schedule "B." The retained lot is developed with one single detached dwelling and a number of outbuildings. The retained complies with the existing Rural (RU) Zone provisions.
1.1 SiteCharacteristics
The subject site is irregularly shaped, situated on the east side of River Drive, at the north eastern fringe of Frankford. The site is developed with one single-detached dwelling, situated in the northern section of the property. There are also a number of outbuildings. The land slopes gently from the rear lot line down to road grade, and is primarily cleared with large lawn areas.
The subject property has a front lot line 159.74 metres and a total area of 2.63 hectares The land subject to the amendment has a front lot line of 68.14 metres and an area of 0.31 hectares.
1.2 Adjacent Land Uses
The subject property is located at the north eastern fringe of Frankford, on the east side of River Drive, at the northern limit of an established residential neighbourhood, comprised of single detached dwellings, benefitting from full municipal infrastructure. Beyond the River Drive corridor, to the immediate east and north is un-serviced rural land, including agriculturalfields and rural land uses. To the west is the Trent River and associated Crown land.
2.0 Existinq Policv
2.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The lands are located in the "Frankford Urban Service Area" which is considered a "settlement area." Reference is made to Secfion 1.1.3 Settlement Areas of the PPS More specifically, Section 1.1 .3.1 states that "Settlement areas shall be the focus of grovuth and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted."
2 Secfion 1.1.3.2 establishes that land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based upon efficient use of land and resources, efficient use of infrastructure and public service facilities, and provides opportunities for intensification and redevelopment.
Section 1 .1 .3.3 establishes that Planning authorities shall identify and promote opportunities for intensification and redevelopment. Further, the PPS prescribes that new development shall have a compact form, and allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public service facilities.
Section 1.4 Housing, states that Planning Authorities shall provide for an appropriate range of housing types and densities by permitting and facilitating allforms of residential intensification and redevelopment, and by directing new housing towards locations where appropriate levels of infrastructure and public service facilities are available.
Secfion 1.6.6.2 Infrastructure, establishes that municipal water and sewer services are the preferred form of servicing for settlement areas and that intensification within settlement areas on such services should be promoted wherever feasible. ln regards to the above policies, this application would rezone the proposed severed lots, resulting in an intensification opportunity through the creation of three urban residential building lots. The proposed lots are of suitable size and configuration that efficiently uses the land and servicing available. Full municipal infrastructure is within immediate proximity and requires service laterals into each of the severed lots and the residence on the retained. The balance of the land is suitable for a future urban residential subd ivision.
The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement
2.2 Official Plan
The subject property is within "Planning District 3" of the "Frankford Urban Service Area" which permits low and medium density residential uses, subject to satisfying the applicable policies. Residential intensification is permitted via severance of individual lots.
Section 12.12.2.5 Urban Consent Policies states multiple residential consents are permitted in the urban designation. Application for the creation of more than two new Iots by way of consent shall only be permitted where the City is satisfied that;
Plan of subdivision is not requíred
3 The land parcels to be created will not restrict the ultimate development of the land Undue extension of serviced is not required Size and shape of the lot is appropriate for the intended use The lot can be supported by municipal water and sewer services
Regarding the above, a plan of subdivision is not necessary at this time for the proposed severances. However, the development of the balance of the property is required to occur via future plan of subdivision. ln this regard, the applicant has provided a professionally prepared concept plan proving that the proposed three lots will not compromise the ultimate development of the land. The balance of the property could be developed as a conventional plan of subdivision, with a future municipal road, including water and sewer infrastructure, entering the site between the most northerly severed lot and the existing dwelling.
Services are available and require extension for each of the severed lots and the retained lot. The size and shape of the severed lots is appropriate and the future development potential of the retained is not negatively impacted. The lots are deeper than typical urban standard. 45 metres depth is provided, whereas typical depth for an urban lot is 30 to 35 metres. The proponent desires a greater depth in order to achieve an increased front yard setback from River Drive, which is identified as a major collector road in the Official Plan.
Section 12.12.2.1 (xxi) of the Consent policies establishes that all severed and retained lots created shall conform to the lot area and frontage requirements of the zoning by- law. This application for Zoning By-law amendment is required to place the severed lots in the Residential Type 2 (R2) Zone, which is a standard urban residential zone.
This application will ultimately permit three urban residential lots, to be serviced by full municipal infrastructure. The consent policies established in the Official Plan are satisfied and the application is consistent with the Official Plan.
2.3 Zoning By-law
The property is in the Rural (RU) Zone which permits a range of residential uses including a single detached dwelling. However, the proposed severed lots do not meet the Rural zone provisions which require a minimum frontage of 60 metres and minimum lot area of 2 hectares. The owner has applied to rezone the severed lands to Residential Type 2 (R2) Zone which requires a lot frontage of 15.0 metres, lot area of
4 450 square metres. The R2 Zone also requires the provision of municipal water and sewer services. The proposed lots exceed the R2 zone requirements.
The property is located in the Frankford Urban Service Area under the Official Plan. The establishment of urban zoning on the proposed severed lots furthers the intent of the Plan.

4.0 Plannins Analvsis
This application will ultimately result in the creation of three new urban residential lots The lot configuration is compatible with the lot fabric in the immediate neighbourhood, which is somewhat varied. The lot configuration does not compromise the ability to develop the retained with a future plan of subdivision.
Reciprocal drainage easements are proposed over the rear of the severed lots and onto the retained. This will provide the ability for the severed lots to convey surface water via drainage swales along the rear lot lines, as is normal practice.
Site Plan approval is required as a condition of Applications for Consent 818/195, B1gl19S and 8.201195, as is normal for severed lots in the urban areas of Quinte West The proponent is required to provide a site plan prepared by an engineer illustrating how the severed lots and the house on the retained will be serviced. Specifically this will address site drainage and infrastructure, and other technical matters.
6 Lower Trent Conservation has noted that a Section 59 review under the Clean Water Act is required as part of a complete submission for development. This application has been circulated to Matt Tracey, Risk Management Official for the City of Quinte West, and final sign off from Mr. Tracey will be required prior to the City entering into the Site Plan Control Agreement.
Ultimately this application creates an intensification opportunity through the creation of three new urban residential lots in the Frankford Urban Area. The development of the balance of the lands is not compromised. The application meets the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement and the City's Official Plan, and enacts suitable urban zoning. This application is recommended for approval.

øö'fum 1.0 Backsround
Application D09/S11119 applies to land owned by Cynthia & Steven White, located at 2485 Wallbridge-Loyalist Road, Foxboro. The property was the subject of Application for Consent 834/18S to sever a 0.84 ha rural residential lot with a lot frontage of 85 metres on Foxboro-Stirling Road. Schedule "4" attached hereto shows the location of the subject lands.
1.'l SiteCharacteristics
The subject property is located on the south west corner of Foxboro Stirling Road and Wallbridge Loyalist Road intersection. The lands slope downwards in the corner of Foxboro Stirling Road and Wallbridge Loyalist Road. The proposed severed lot is a hill covered with brush. The lands slope towards an area close to the driveway for 669 Foxboro Stirling Road. The proposed severed lot may permit the development of one (1) single detached dwelling.
1.2 Adjacent Land Uses
The subject property is situated in north Sidney. The surrounding land uses include rural lands with fields and areas of brush to the north and west. There are rural residential lots south and the east of Wallbridge Loyalist Road.
2.0 Existinq Policv
2.1 Provincial Policy Statement
The subject property is located in the Rural designation and therefore, Section 1.1.5 of the PPS in particular pertains to this property. Permitted uses on rural lands include limited residential development. Section 1.1.5.4 of the PPS states "development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels should be promoted." When directing development on rural lands, Section 1.1.5.5 of the PPS states "development shall be appropriate to the infrastructure which is planned or available, and avoid the need for the unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion of this infrastructure." The proposed zoning by-law amendment is a condition of consent which would be considered limited residential development and would therefore be permitted under this section of the PPS.
2 Part V, Section 2.1.8 indicates development shall not be permitted on lands adjacent to natural heritage features unless ít has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or on their ecological functions. All Official Plan mapping was reviewed and the subject property is not located within or adjacent to a natural heritage feature.
The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement
2.2 Official Plan
The subject property is designated Rural on Schedule "A" to the City of Quinte West Official Plan. Policies pertaining to the Rural designation are located in Section 5.2 of the Official Plan. The goal of the Rural designation is to "preserve and enhance the rural character of the City." Supporting that goal are the following three objectives:
a "To protect the established rural character of the Murray and Sidney Ward of the City from uncontrolled strip development.
o To protect existing agricultural uses and the established rural character of the Murray Ward and Sidney Ward of the City from incompatible forms of devefopment.
o To encourage a variety of economic opportunities in the rural designation, including recreation and tourism as related to natural heritage features and conservation areas, as well as existing rural recreation activities."
Based on the Goal of the Rural designation and the supporting objectives, protection of the rural environment and the land uses that make up that rural environment are important to the City.
Permitted uses in the Rural designation include low density residential uses. Section 5.2.4 of the Official Plan states "development within the Rural designation shall be limited to type, scale and density consístent with maintaining the character of the rural landscape." The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment was a condition of consent application B34l18S which was granted on August 8, 2018.
Section 5.2.4 (ii) of the Official Plan states that "the majority of non-farm residential development will be directed to the urban and hamlet settlement areas." Limited residential development may occur in the Rural designation through the Consent process in accordance with the policies of Section 12.12.2.1 and 12.12.2.2 of this Plan
3 The Consent policies contained in Section 12.12.2.2 of the Official Plan pertain specifically to lands within the Rural designation and permit the creation of one lot from any lot in existence as of July 17 ,2013. Since the subject property was in existence on July 17 , 2013 it is eligible for one severance provided all other policies of the Official Plan are complied with.
Section 12.12.2.1 (vii) of the Official Plan requires that all lots created have frontage on an improved public road of a standard sufficient to support the proposed development. The proposed severed lot will have frontage on Foxboro Stirling Road and the retained lot will have frontage on Foxboro Stirling Road and Wallbridge Loyalist Road which are both year round municipally maintained roads.
The application maintains the general intent of the Official Plan
2.3 Zoning By-law
The subject property is zoned Rural (RU) on Schedule "D" in the City of Quinte West Zoning By-law 14-86. The RU provisions require a minimum lot area of 2 hectares and a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres. The proposed severed lot will not meet the minimum lot area requirement for the RU Zone and as such requires the rezoning to recognize a rural resídential lot which requires a minimum lot area of .4 ha and 45 metres of frontage. ." The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is a condition of consent application B34l18S that was granted on August 8, 2018.

Subject: Planning Report / Analysis Red Line Amendment & Final Approval - Hillside Meadows Subdivision File No: D121M01118 Address: South of 274 2nd Dug Hill Road Legal. Part Lots 7 & 8, Concession A Ward: Murray Owner: Estate of Audrey Little Agent: Klemencic Homes lnc. Contact: Mark Klemencic
REGOMMENDATIONS:
The Committee recommends that Condition 1 to draft plan approval of subdivision file D121M01118 described as Part of Lots 7 & 8, Concession A, formerly Township of Murray, now in the City of Quinte West, be revised as follows:
1 That this approval applies to the draft plan of subdivision, prepared by Klemencic Homes lnc., dated January 17,2018, as revised December 11, 2018, which shows the complete subdivision having a total of:
(i) 72 lots for single detached dwellings (ii) 28 lots for semi-detached dwellings (iii) 32 lots for townhouses (iv) 1 Block for apartment dwellings (v) 1 Block for storm water management (vi) 1 Block for Parkland
1 (vii) 1 Block for Walkway (viii) lnternal street network
And further, the Committee recommends that Council pass a By-law to authorize the execution of a Subdivision Agreement by the City of Quinte West with Klemencic Homes lnc. for Hillside Meadows Subdivision, entailing a proposed residential subdivision of one hundred and thirty two (132) lots, one block for apartment dwellings, one block for parkland, one block for storm water management and one block for walkway, on lands described as Part of Lots 7 & 8, Concession A, formerly Township of Murray, now in the City of Quinte West, subject to the following conditions being satisfied prior to Council's execution of the Agreement:
1) confirmation of final approval to execute the agreement from Hydro One; 2) the owner providing to the City the necessary performance security, outstanding tax arrears, inspection fees, insurance policies, development charges and any other required fees; 3) the receipt of all written approvals required under the Draft Conditions, including the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Public Works Department, Protective Services Department, Canada Post, Lower Trent Conservation, Union Gas, and Bell Canada; 4) the owner returning to the City six (6) copies of the agreement executed by the owner; 5) the owner providing to the City the necessary original and copies of the Subdivision Plan, approved Engineering Plans and documents, Land Transfer or Easement documents including digital copies, as required by the Planning and Development Department.
BACKGROUND
Hillside Meadows Subdivision received Draft Plan Approval from the City of Quinte West on May 7, 2018. The original Draft Plan consists of 72 lots for single detached dwellings, 34 lots for semi-detached dwellings, 3 blocks for townhouses and I block for apartment dwellings. There are also blocks for a park, walkway and storm pond. The entire subdivision has a total lot area of 15.55 hectares (38.4 acres) and is situated immediately south and west of 274 2nd Dug Hill Road.
Attached as Schedule "4" is the proposed revised draft plan, with changes illustrated in red. The revised plan would reduce the number of semi-detached dwellings from 34 to 28, while increasing the number of townhouses from 24 to 32. The.number of lots for single detached dwellings remains unchanged, as does the block for apartment units.
2 The revised plan increases the width of two road allowances from 20.0 metres to 26.0 metres, and provides a road allowance leading to the west. These are requirements of the City of Quinte West, and have resulted in the need to revise the layout of the subdivision.
The red-lined plan remains compliant with the applicable Residential Type 3 Exception I (R3-8) Zone, which permits a range of residential uses, including single detached, semi-detached, and townhouse dwellings. The Block for apartment dwellings is in the Residential Type 5 Exception 2 (R5-2) Zone and remains unchanged.
The increase in overall density is minimal (2 units), and remains consistent with the density provisions of the Official Plan. The proposed red-line amendment meets the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement, and in particular Section 1.4.3 regarding the efficient use of serviced residential lands, and the provision of a mix of housing types.
The proposed changes to the plan are considered minor, and therefore, in accordance with the Planning Act, the red-line amendment was not circulated for public comment. Comments received from the Fire Department, Chief Building Official, Public Works Department and Lower Trent Conservation confirm no objections. lt is noted that the developer has been working towards final approval with City staff and approval agencies through the submission of detailed engineering plans and supporting documentation. The developer intends to proceed with the development of the subdivision and has requested Council pass the authorizing by-law to permit the execution of the subdivision agreement.
Planning staff recommends Council approve the red-line amendment. Staff also recommends that Council pass a By-law to authorize the execution of a Subd ivision Ag reement.

That the Gommittee recommend that all below-ground and above-ground services including curbing and roadways, namely Meagan Lane installed within Registered Plan 21M-266 being Phase 3 of the Antonia Heights subdivision be assumed into the municipal service system by the City of Quinte West;
And further that the Committee recommend that a 0.3 metre reserve identified as Block 21, Registered Plan 21M-251 be assumed into the City of Quinte West road system;
And further that the required by-laws be prepared for Council consideration and approval.
Hilden Homes is the developer for the Antonia Heights subdivision and is requesting that above-ground and underground services including roadway and curbing of Phase 3, being Registered Plan 21M-266, be assumed by the municipality. The Certificate of Completion for Phase 3 is being authorized with a stated 2 year maintenance period expiring May 31 , 2019, as after which the developer has requested the assumption of services be authorized.
1.0 Background
Antonia Heights subdivision received Draft Plan approval from the County of Hastings in February, 1997 for a total of 80 residential lots. Council for the City of Quinte West subsequently approved red-line amendments to reconfigure the draft plan without increasing the total of residential lots in August and October of 2002. The subdivision has been developed in 3 phases which are now built-out.
To this point, Council for the City of Quinte West has passed by-laws to assume above- ground and underground services in Phases 1 and 2 of the development as well as the central ized storm-water management facility.
With the assumption of Phase 3 services, roadway and curbing, the 0.3 metre reserve established by Block 21, Registered Plan 21M-251 is no longer required and can now be assumed into the public roadway system.
The 0.3 metre reserves established by Blocks 29 and 30 of Registered Plan 21M-266 will remain in place until such time as the lands west of the current termination of Meagan Lane are developed and associated services have been assumed by the municipality. 2.0 lnternalDepartmentCirculation
This request has been reviewed by Public Works, Protective Services and Planning and Development Services. Comments returned by Building Services and Protective Services indicate no concerns or objections to the assumption of this phase of the development.

Securities currently beíng held for Phase 3 will be reduced immediately to a 15o/o minimum maintenance guarantee and then further reduced and returned to the developer after the expiry of the stated maintenance period and the passing of the related By-laws by Council pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Agreement.

Harvest Hastings - Presentation / Demonstration
Dr. Jennifer Davis, Chair of the Harvest Hastings Board, stated that the final copy of the Harvest Hastings Annual Report had gone to the printer and would be available in three weeks. She stated that Harvest Hastings would then hold three different meetings in the north, south and central locations to talk about th< specifics of the report. Dr. Davis stated she was hoping to have good representations from all of the surrounding municipalities as there were some real concerns. She stated that the farmers are losing the abattoirs in the area due to costs and commodities coming in.
Dr. Davis advised that there were good things happening with Harvest Hastings, such as being contacted from someone in British Columbia to set up a meeting to see how they can mirror Harvest Hastings in their province. She stated they were also going to be featured in the Whig Standard in Kingston by the Food Editor which would be great publicity. Dr. Davis stated that she was grateful for the AgriculturalAdvisory Committee as other municipalities do not have one. She advised that a public service announcement to buy locally would be a good radio plug. Dr. Davis also stated that it would be a really good idea to have consumer awareness as to what is local as there are restaurants and grocery stores that state it is local br could be anywhere in Ontario and not necessarily close.
Dr. Davis stated that the Future of Farming report summary will be placed in the new magazine edition coming out. She wanted to thank the City of Quinte West for their continued support and wanted to know what Harvest Hastings could do to help the City of Quinte West or what could be provided back to them.
