1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY
This Study assesses the transportation impact of a proposed mixed-use residential development in the City of Cambridge. The proposed development is located at the southwest corner of the future intersection of Nottinghill drive and Main Street East, City of Cambridge, as shown in Figure 1.
The development consists of one residential tower with 12 stories and ground floor retail and another 10- storey residential tower. The development will feature a total of 367 dwelling units, 648 m2 of ground-floor retail, 443 total (25 surface and 418 underground) parking spaces, and a single direct access onto Nottinghill Drive.
Stantec attended a pre-study conference meeting on the 3rd of June 2020 with the Region of Waterloo and the City of Cambridge to review the scope and methodology of the study. The agreed upon pre-study conference form has been attached to Appendix A for reference.
The scope of the study is as follows:
• The study area comprises the proposed intersections of: . Site Access / Nottinghill Drive extension; and . Main Street and. / Nottinghill Drive extension. • Weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic are forecasted for the years of 2022 and 2027, which represent the anticipated full build-out and occupancy of the subject development, and five years following full build-out. • Transportation impacts and requirements are assessed related to background traffic forecasts and total traffic forecasts including the proposed development. This is because the development is proposed to be built upon a future road extension of Nottinghill Drive, which does not currently exist.
The following methodology is used to analyze traffic operations and recommend transportation improvements:
• Future peak hour background traffic is estimated for future horizon years based upon a 4% growth rate along Main Street and 1% percent per annum growth rate on other corridors. The background traffic forecast also includes additional traffic generated by the full build-out of nearby developments (if any); • Estimates of the expected net increase in future site traffic are generated for the proposed development using data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publication, “Trip Generation, 10th Edition”; • The future background traffic is combined with the net increase in subject site traffic to determine the total traffic volumes for future horizon years. The future peak-hour intersection operations are analyzed for the future background and future total traffic conditions; and • All the above data is used to determine the net impact on operational performance as a result of the subject site traffic, and to provide recommendations for road and/or traffic control improvements (if any) to address the identified impacts.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 ROADS AND TRAFFIC CONTROL
The characteristics of the roads and intersections within and around the Study Area limits are described below. Figure 3 illustrates the existing road conditions and lane configurations.
Main Street is a two-lane (one in each direction) arterial road under the jurisdiction of the Region of Waterloo and runs in the East-West direction. The roadway runs from the city limits in the East to the Grand River in the West. Within the study area the roadway has paved shoulders on both sides and a posted speed limit of 60km/hr.
Franklin Boulevard is a four-lane (two in each direction) arterial road under the jurisdiction of the Region of Waterloo and runs in the North-South direction. The roadway runs from Mayers Road in the South to Queen Street in the North. Within the study area the roadway has multi use paths on both sides and a posted speed limit of 60km/hr.
Green Gate Boulevard is a two-lane (one in each direction) collector road under the jurisdiction of the City of Cambridge and runs in the East-West direction. The roadway runs from Nottinghill Drive in the East to Franklin Boulevard in the West. The roadway is restricted to truck access. Due to the absence of a posted speed limit, the statutory speed limit of 50km/hr is assumed for analysis.
Nottinghill Drive and Sparrow Avenue are local roads primary serving residential uses. Due to the absence of a posted speed limit on these roads, the statutory speed limit of 50km/hr is assumed for analysis.

Route Stations 50 Dundas Cambridge Centre, Delta 54 Lisbon Pines Ainslie 59 Christopher Ainslie 53 Franklin Ainslie, Cambridge Centre 59D Cambridge Centre Ainslie
Figure 4 shows the transit routes within and around the study area. Separate route maps for each route are included in Appendix C for reference. 2.3 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
The proposed site has access to a good network of cycling and pedestrian facilities. Figure 5 displays the existing and planned cycling facilities within and adjacent to the study area. The east-west cycling facilities include the bike lanes on Maple Bush Drive, Paved shoulders on Main Street, and a trail connecting to Churchill Park. Multi Use paths on Dundas street, Franklin Boulevard, and shared routes on Elgin Street South provide North-South connections. The site is also surrounded by a dense network of sidewalks on both sides of roadways within the study area.

2.4 TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Existing Traffic Counts where available were obtained from the Region of Waterloo. The counts consisted of eight-hour intersection turning movements collected between 2017 to 2019. Motor vehicular traffic as well as pedestrian crossings were available in 15-minute intervals with vehicles classified by type.
Stantec collected intersection turning movement counts (TMCs) at the intersections of Green Gate Boulevard / Nottinghill Drive and Green Gate Boulevard / Sparrow Avenue from Streetlight Data’s StreetLight InSight platform, due to the risk of traffic undercounting as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic when the study was undertaken.
StreetLight Data is a transportation insights platform that uses anonymous telecom and mobile app-based location data to estimate turning movement counts, AADT, and Travel behavior. StreetLight’s data has been validated against public external sources including permanent sensors, household surveys, license plates, Bluetooth scanning, and Census data.
As the scope of the study only involved the proposed intersections of the Site Access / Nottinghill Drive and Nottinghill Drive / Main Street; operation analysis was not conducted for the existing conditions.
The existing traffic volumes within and around the study area were reviewed to understand the traffic patterns and redistribute traffic to the proposed Nottinghill Drive extension in the future background scenario.
The existing base year 2019 traffic volumes for the AM and PM peak hours are illustrated in Figure 6 and Figure 7. Traffic data is provided for reference in Appendix D.

3.0 FUTURE CONDITIONS
3.1 HORIZON YEARS AND BACKGROUND DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
For the purpose of this study it was assumed that the subject development’s anticipated full occupancy year is 2022, therefore the horizon years considered for analysis of all Study Area intersections are 2022 and 2027, which represent full build-out and five years following the full build-out of the subject development. Planned roadway improvements are also reviewed in this section.
3.1.1 Growth Rate
Based on the discussion with the Region and the City a Growth rate of 4% per annum was used for Main Street and a nominal growth rate of 1% per annum was applied for all other roads. Additionally, it is assumed that any trip from planned developments around the study area would be captured within the applied growth rates used to forecast the future volumes.
3.1.2 Planned Roadway and Transit Improvements
Nottinghill Drive is proposed to be extended and connected to Main Street before the full build-out of the subject development. Traffic analysis within this study assumes the connection will involve a stop sign at the south approach of the intersection, with unimpeded East-West through movements along Main Street.
It is also noted that an environmental assessment (EA) study has been planned for Main Street with a potential consideration for road widening to four lanes. It is anticipated that this EA will commence some time in 2026.
As the extension of Nottinghill Drive would provide a more direct access to Main Street it is expected that a portion of the existing neighborhood traffic would use Nottinghill Drive to access Main Street. As a conservative approach, all trips along Green Gate Boulevard and Sparrow Avenue were distributed to use the Nottinghill Drive extension to exit the neighborhood.
Based on the review of background conditions and assumptions noted above, future background traffic volumes for the 2022 and 2027 horizon year during the weekday AM and PM peak hours are shown through Figure 8 to Figure 11.
3.1.3 Intersection control
Due to the relatively low volumes that are expected to use the Nottinghill drive extension in the future background and total scenarios a stop-controlled intersection was analyzed at intersection of Nottinghill Drive and Main street. Based on pre-consultation with the City of Cambridge and the Region of Waterloo it was anticipated that a signal warrant or a roundabout feasibility would be conducted if the stop control resulted in poor operations.

3.2 FUTURE BACKGROUND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
The quality of intersection operations at signalized and unsignalized intersections is evaluated in terms of level of service (LOS) and volume to capacity (v/c) as defined by the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). LOS is evaluated on the basis of average control delay per vehicle and includes deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay, and final acceleration delay. Capacity is evaluated in terms of ratio of demand flow to capacity with an at-capacity condition represented by a v/c ratio of 1.00 (i.e. volume demand equals capacity). For signalized intersections, LOS ranges from LOS A for 10 seconds or less average delay to LOS F for average delay greater than 80 seconds. For unsignalized intersections, the LOS ranges from LOS A for 10 seconds or less average delay to LOS F for average delay greater than 50 seconds. (See Table 3)
Table 3 Intersection Level of Service Delay Criteria
Level of Service (LOS) Signalized Intersections Unsignalized Intersections A ≤10s ≤10s B >10s and ≤20s >10s and ≤15s C >20s and ≤35s >15s and ≤25s D >35s and ≤55s >25s and ≤35s E >35s and ≤80s >35s and ≤50s F >80s >50s
To assess the existing peak hour traffic conditions, a level of service analysis is undertaken for the Study Area intersections using TrafficWare Synchro 10 Software, which implements the methodology of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). The key parameters used in the analysis include:
• The intersection of Main Street / Nottinghill Drive is assumed to be an unsignalized intersection with a stop control on the south approach and the existing roadway layout on Main Street with no dedicated turning lanes and no stop control for East-West movements. • Heavy vehicle percentages as derived from collected traffic count data. • A nominal peak hour factor (PHFs) of 0.92 was applied for the Study Area intersections. It is noted that this factor adjusts the hourly volumes to better represent conditions during the peak 15 minutes of intersection operations; and • Synchro default values for all other inputs.
The results of the analysis for the Future Background conditions are summarized in Table 4 and Table 5 and the Synchro analysis outputs are provided for reference in Appendix E.

As shown in the traffic operational analysis tables, the intersections operate at good levels of service and volume to capacity ratios under future background conditions. All movements are anticipated to operate within the thresholds outlined in the Region of Waterloo’s Traffic Impact Study Guidelines for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies. All movements are anticipated to operate at a level of service C or better.

3.3 SITE TRIPS
3.3.1 Trip Generation
The number of vehicular trips that are anticipated to be generated by the proposed development was estimated based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publication, “Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition”. Specifically, the weekday AM and PM peak hour of adjacent traffic rate was estimated using the trip generation rates for a “Multifamily Housing (High-Rise)” (ITE land-use code #222) for building A and “variety Store (ITE land-use code #814)” for the retail space and “Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise)” (ITE land-use code #221) for building B. The site generated trips are summarized below in Table 6.

As the retail land use is planned to serve the residents an internal trip reduction was applied to the retail trips. Internal trip capture rates were obtained from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report - Enhancing Internal Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-Use. A reduction of 1% during the AM peak hour and 42 % during the PM peak hour was applied to the retail trips.

3.3.2 Trip Distribution and Assignment
The estimated trip distribution was calculated based on patterns observed in the existing traffic volumes. Total traffic entering and exiting the Study Area in the AM and PM Peak hours was used to determine the existing distribution. The trip distribution patterns have been summarized below in Table 7.
Table 7 Trip Distribution Inbound Outbound To/From Road AM PM AM PM North Main Street 81% 82% 76% 77% South Nottinghill Drive 2% 2% 1% 0% East Main Street 8% 6% 8% 7% West Main Street 9% 10% 15% 16%
The site traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 12 and Figure 13 for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.
The weekday AM and PM peak hour total traffic forecasts are the combination of the background and site traffic forecasts. The future total traffic volume forecasts for the 2022 and 2027 horizon year are illustrated in Figure 14 through Figure 17.

3.4 FUTURE TOTAL TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
Future total traffic forecasts were analyzed using the same methodology, parameters and lane arrangements used in the analysis of future background traffic conditions. The results of the operational analysis for the 2022 and 2027 future total conditions are presented in Table 8 and Table 9, respectively. The Synchro analysis output is provided for reference in Appendix E.
The future total traffic conditions under both horizons (2022 and 2027) largely reflect similar operational conditions as observed under the future background traffic conditions, however, operations are slightly deteriorated as a result of the additional site trips. Overall, all movements within the Study Area network operate at good levels of service of C or better and within the available capacity. As a result of the good operations anticipated in future conditions no intersection improvements are required and thus no signal warrants or roundabout pre-screening was conducted. This is in alignment with the expectations set out during pre-consultation with reviewing agencies.

3.5 PARKING REVIEW & TDM
3.5.1 By-Law Requirements
This section reviews the parking supply for the proposed redevelopment and compares it to the parking requirements specified in the City of Cambridge Zoning By-law, as consolidated in 2012. This includes a review of both the residential and retail parking supply.
Based on a review of the City of Cambridge By-Law parking rates as derived from Section 2.2.1 for the following:
• Residential (d) – an apartment house, maisonette, mixed terrace or cluster attached duplexes;
• Commercial (3) – all other retail commercial establishments
Table 10 summarizes the required number of vehicle parking.
Table 10 Vehicle Parking Space Requirements
Car Parking Requirement No. of units Land Use 2 Proposed or GFA (m ) Ratio Required Spaces Difference Spaces Apartment Building 1.0 /Unit 367 367 Visitor Parking 0.25 / Unit 91.75 443 -32 (-7%) Retail 648 2.5 Per 100 m2 16.2 Total parking ~475.0
Per the by-law requirement, the proposed development requires a minimum of 475 parking spaces for residents and visitors. The proposed parking spaces on-site are a total of 443 split between 418 underground spots across 2 parking levels and an additional 25 surface parking spaces. The proposed reduction represents a reduction of 32 spaces from the zoning by-law requirements or a 7% reduction. For the parking supply on site, please refer to the concept plan in Appendix B.
3.5.2 Mode Share & Car Ownership Comparison
To gauge the sufficiency of the proposed vehicle parking supply, mode share and car ownership data was investigated within the vicinity of the study area as derived from the 20111 transportation tomorrow survey (TTS). The TTS Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) that the proposed development resides in is 7415. Beyond this zone, another one in proximity to the development (7411) with apartments buildings was also investigated to accurately capture the travel behavior of residents in apartment buildings since the
1 TTS data from 2011 and 2016 were analyzed. The 2016 data showed fewer total trips compared to 2011 despite a number of new developments within the zones. Hence only 2011 data was used for the analysis.

Figure 18 TTS Zone Map
Table 11 summarizes the average mode share throughout the day of both TTS zones analyzed. The data shows that 6% of the households in zone 7415 (proposed development site) use transit as a mode of transportation, which aligns with the proposed reduction of 7% in parking supply. Additionally, about 14% of the residents in zone 7411 which has around 3 apartment buildings use transit.

The average car ownership per household in apartments in zone 7411 is 0.72 per household. A rate of 0.72 would result in a parking requirement of 372 spaces if these rates are applied to the residential tenant requirements only. This would result in 71 fewer spaces than the 443 proposed, or a reduction of 15% from the zoning By-Law rates which aligns with mode share data for TTS zone 7411.

The public transportation services operated by Grand River Transit (GRT) in the study area provide a reliable, cost effective alternative mode of travel through the comprehensive and continually growing transit network system.
The subject site is situated in a transit supportive neighborhood with the bus stops located less than 200m from the site and within comfortable walking distance. Additionally, future transit stops are planned to be located on Main Street, west of Nottinghill Drive (eastbound direction) and on Nottinghill Drive, north of Sparrow (southbound direction). The Route Services are illustrated in Appendix C. The route services in the immediate area are described below:
50 Dundas: The 50 Dundas bus route operates approximately every 30 minutes from Franklin/Green Gate and ending Cambridge Centre Station, generally in a north-south direction. Cambridge Centre Station in located in front of Cambridge Centre Mall and is a transit hub for local routes to ION rapid transit and GO transit buses. The 50 Dundas bus route provides service on weekdays, only. Accessible service and bike racks are provided on the route
53 Franklin: The 53 Franklin bus route operates approximately every 30 minutes from Ainslie Terminal to Cambridge Centre Station, generally in a north-south direction. Ainslie St. Transit Terminal is the main hub for local GRT bus services within the City of Cambridge and some intercity connections. It is also the southerly terminus for the adapted bus rapid transit service of Ion. The 53 Franklin bus route provides service on weekdays, only. Accessible service and bike racks are provided on the route
54 Lisbon Pines: The 54 Lisbon Pines bus route operates approximately every 30 minutes in a loop from the Ainslie Street Transit Terminal connecting communities of East Galt and Kinbridge-Christopher- Champlain. The 53 Franklin bus route provides service on all days. Accessible service and bike racks are provided on the route
63 Champlain: The 63 Champlain bus route operates approximately every 30 minutes in a loop from Ainslie Terminal. The bus service travels on major roads such as Franklin Boulevard, Elgin Street, Alison Avenue, Dundas Street, and Champlain Boulevard. The 63 Champlain bus route provides service on weekdays and Saturdays. Accessible service and bike racks are provided on the route

PART OF LOT 4 CON 10, NORTH DUMFRIES TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
Future Conditions July 23, 2020
59 Christopher: The 59 Christopher bus route operates approximately every 30 minutes in a loop from Ainslie Terminal, generally in a north-south direction. The bus service travels as far north as Main Street and Harris Street and as far south as Christopher Drive and Myers Road. The 59 Christopher bus route provides service on weekdays and Saturdays. Accessible service and bike racks are provided on the route.
It is also noted that the Region of Waterloo ION light rail transit (LRT) system is expected to connect the Cities of Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo. The Stage 2 ION preferred route replaces the bus rapid transit service between Fairview Park Mall and Ainslie Terminal with an LRT service. The LRT provides high frequency service, with planned service operation approximately every eight (8) minutes during peak hours and every 10-15 minutes outside of peak hours. The subject site is conveniently located close to the proposed Main street station (2.5Kms).
The easy access to existing transit facilities such as the Ainslie Terminal Station, Cambridge Centre Station and the future rapid transit site will encourage residents to use alternative and sustainable modes of transportation. Additionally, the site is located in a walkable and mixed-use area that allows for a higher proportion of walking or cycling modes of travel. The on-site retail land use and proximity to commercial land uses along Dundas Street would encourage more active trips.
3.5.4 Regional TDM Checklist and Parking Management Worksheet
The TDM checklist and parking management worksheet provided in the Region of Waterloo TIS guidelines were completed for the subject development. As the checklist and worksheet are not designed for residential properties multiple parameters were not applicable to the development.
The development received a score of 35 on a maximum of 65 categorizing as a TDM supportive development. Additionally, the parking management worksheet indicated a total parking reduction of 6 % from the applicable fields aligns with the proposed reduction of 32 spaces in parking supply. The completed checklist and worksheet are provided in Appendix F for reference.
3.5.5 Parking Justification Summary
Based on a comparison of the required and proposed parking supply, along with an investigation of local travel demand characteristics, an evaluation of TDM, and an evaluation of the regional parking management worksheet, the proposed parking supply is considered appropriate. This is based on the following considerations:
• The proposed parking supply represents a reduction of 32 spaces (-7%) compared to zoning by- law requirements.
• Existing AM peak period mode shares in the study area are between 6-14%.
• The average car own ship per housed in apartment buildings in the vicinity of the proposed development is 0.72 indicating a lower tenant demand for parking spaces in apartment buildings.

PART OF LOT 4 CON 10, NORTH DUMFRIES TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
Future Conditions July 23, 2020
• Applying the derived car ownership rate for apartments buildings (0.72/unit) while leveraging the by-law rates for visitor and retail parking would result in a supply of 372 space which is 71 fewer spaces than proposed and a 15% reduction over required parking rates.
• The site is located in a transit supportive zone which is well served by existing surface transit. Six surface transit routes provide convenient and frequent transit service around the study area and connect to higher-order transit services in the vicinity of the proposed development.
• The site is located in a walkable and mixed-use area that allows for a higher proportion of transit, walking or cycling modes of travel.
• The presence of onsite retail use and the proximity to commercial land uses along Dundas St S and Franklin Blvd will encourage more trips by active modes.
On this basis, the future parking demand will be satisfied with the proposed parking spaces, considering, the site is located in a heavily transit supportive zone, with future light rail transit stations a convenient walking distance away and in close proximity to mixed and commercial land uses.

Conclusions and Recommendations July 23, 2020
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The conclusions of the Traffic Impact Study are as follows:
• Under future background conditions, all study area intersections are anticipated to operate withing acceptable levels of service and within capacity under the 2022 and 2027 horizon years.
• Under the future total conditions, all study area intersections and site accesses are anticipated to operate at good levels of service and volume-to-capacity ratios under the 2022 and 2027 horizon years. No queueing issues are anticipated.
• Due to anticipated good levels of service under future total conditions, there is no need for intersection improvements at Main Street / Nottinghill Drive and as a result no signal warrants or roundabout pre-screening were conducted. It is anticipated that once Nottinghill Drive is extended a stop sign at the south approach should suffice in accommodating the re-distributed neighbourhood traffic as well as the site-generated traffic.
• The proposed parking spaces represent a 7% reduction from the Zoning By-law requirements, but are anticipated to be sufficient to meet the parking demand and to be used as a measure to encourage residents to switch to active transportation modes such as transit and biking for which infrastructures are already established in the study area.
In conclusion, the road network does not require any improvements or mitigation measures to accommodate the proposed development. The road network will continue to perform at good levels of service at all intersections and movements.

Development Planning - Comments: The proposed development exceeds the current permitted density of the Low/Medium Density designation. Either bonusing pursuant to Section 10.16 of the Cambridge Official Plan will be required or an application for Official Plan Amendment to address the proposed increase in height and density. Staff is generally supportive of the proposed increased density but planning justification would need to be provided to address the density as it relates to the proposed secondary plan. Please note that Notting Hill Drive will need to be constructed prior to, or in conjunction with, the proposed development. What is the proposed tenure of the residential units? o If condominium, what form of condominium is proposed (please note that plan of condominium requires formal pre-consultation) Staff prefer concept C9C which allows for future lotting of units fronting onto Sparrow Ave rather than private amenity space along the public road. Are any affordable units being provided? Staff appreciate the applicant providing emergency vehicular access point for lands to the west. Access point should coordinate with proposed development to the west to align with proposed internal street pattern Pedestrian connections across to Main Street and the development to the west will need to be clearly delineated on future site plan application The lands to the north of the subject property are currently zoned and designated for employment uses. Provide a D-Series Guideline analysis (can be included in the Planning Justification Report) Please ensure that any LED lighting and/or signage proposed is shown on the photometric plan to ensure zero light spill at property line. (Cambridge OP Policy 5.7.6) o Staff also note that any proposed signage is subject to the
Page 5 of 35
City of Cambridge Sign By-law and will be formally reviewed through a sign permit. Should any LED signage be applied for that is not addressed on the photometric site plan, a further site plan amendment application may be required. Site design shall have regard for the accessibility for persons with disability, in accordance with the Ontario Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation. Incentive programs may be available for your proposed development please contact Steve Rakidzioski at 519-667-4121 ext 5154121 for Union Gas incentives and the Manager of Energy Efficiency at [email protected] for incentives available from Energy+ Inc.

Regional Road Dedication
At this location Regional Road #97 (Main Street) has a designated road allowance width of 30.48 metres (100 feet), as listed in Schedule ‘A’ of the Regional Official Plan (ROP). The existing road width in this area of Main Street is 20.117 m (66 ft); therefore an estimated road allowance widening of 5.18 m (17 ft) will be required across the property frontage with Main Street. A daylight triangle at the proposed intersection of Nottinghill Drive and Main Street will also be required. The daylight triangle must measure 7.62 m x 7.62 m (25 ft x 25 ft), and be measured from the post road widening property line. The road widening and daylight triangle must be dedicated to the Region of Waterloo for road allowance purposes and must be dedicated without cost and free of encumbrance. It appears that the correct road widening and daylight triangle dedication has been shown on the proposed concept plan.
The applicant will need to engage an Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS) to prepare a draft Reference Plan which illustrates the required road allowance and daylight triangle dedication on Main Street. Prior to registering the Reference Plan, the OLS should submit a draft copy of the plan for review by the Transportation Planner. An electronic copy of the registered plan is to be emailed to the
Page 7 of 35
Transportation Planner. Further instructions will come from the Region’s Legal Assistant with regard to document preparation and registration. The road widening and daylight triangle dedication can be postponed to a formal Site Plan application.
The road widenings, daylight triangle, as well as any additional road widenings along Main Street identified in a Transportation Impact Study (TIS) would be required at the time of a formal Site Plan application.
Traffic Site Circulation & Access
The proposed development will obtain vehicular access to the future extension of Nottinghill Drive. There is no proposed direct access to Main Street from the proposed development. The applicant will be responsible for the closure of the existing single unit vehicular access location(s) to Main Street. Regional Road Access Permit(s) will be required for any access closure. The Regional Road Access Permit application form can be found on the Region of Waterloo website (http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/doingBusiness/RoadandTrafficPermits.asp). Any access related items can be deferred to a future Site Plan application.
Earlier this year, the applicant’s consultant inquired about the possibility of an interim access to Main Street. An interim access to Main Street may be acceptable subject to further review of a detailed site plan and appropriate phasing that is satisfactory to the City and the Region. Any interim access would need to be closed to Regional standards once access to Nottinghill Drive has been provided. A Regional Temporary Access Permit would be required. The fee for this permit is $230. A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) may be required with a future application. This requirement will depend on the timing of any development application for the subject property, taking into account other proposed and ongoing developments in the area. The applicant should confirm this requirement with Regional staff prior to submitting any development application for the subject property and once the preferred development concept for the subject property has been determined.
If TIS is required before Regional clearance can be provided for a Site Plan
Page 8 of 35
application, any recommended and approved off site works would require an approved functional design, approved cost estimate, letter of credit, and a signed agreement to the satisfaction of the Regional Solicitor. There would be a $350 fee for the review of the TIS by Regional staff. This fee must be paid prior to the final approval of the TIS.
Stormwater Management & Site Grading
The applicant must submit a detailed Site Grading & Drainage Control Plan(s) and Site Servicing Plan(s) along with a SWM report (including an electronic copy) to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo for approval. This should include drainage details for the subject property, abutting properties and the public road allowance so as to ensure compatible drainage and to show thereon all existing and proposed connections to the municipal storm sewers, sanitary sewers and water mains and all detailed erosion and siltation control features, all to the satisfaction of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo.
The site must be graded in accordance with the approved plan and the Regional Road allowance must be restored to the satisfaction of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. Please be advised that the any new servicing connections or update to the existing servicing would require Regional approval through a separate process of Municipal Consent. For servicing approvals please contact Nora Fleming @ 519- 575-4757 x3312 Email: [email protected]
Stormwater and grading related items can be postponed to a formal Site Plan application.
Transit Planning
Grand River Transit will require two (2) shelter and landing pads in order to provide bus transit service to the proposed development. Future transit stops are planned to be located on Main Street, west of Nottinghill Drive (eastbound direction) and on Nottinghill Drive, north of Sparrow (southbound direction). The applicant will be required to provide the necessary funds for the installation of up
Page 9 of 35
to two transit shelter and landing pads prior to final approval of this development, as part of a future Site Plan application. The current approximate cost for the two transit stops is $8,600.
Transportation and Stationary Noise
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the proposed development is not impacted by anticipated transportation (road) noise from Main Street and/or stationary noise from any adjacent properties. Therefore, the applicant must complete an Environmental Noise Study for the proposed development at the time of any Planning application. The noise level criteria and guidelines for the preparation of the transportation aspects of the Environmental Noise Study are included in the Region of Waterloo Implementation Guideline for Noise Policies. Any requirement for the analysis of transportation and stationary noise impacts must comply with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Environmental Noise Guideline, Publication NPC-300.
The noise consultant must be pre-approved by the Region of Waterloo. The noise consultant is responsible for obtaining current information, applying professional expertise in performing calculations, making detailed and justified recommendations, submitting the Consultant Noise Study Declaration and Owner/Authorized Agent Statement along with a copy of the Environmental Noise Study to the Region of Waterloo.
There is a $250 fee for the preparation of traffic forecasts and review of Environmental Noise Studies by Region of Waterloo staff. The noise consultant preparing the Environmental Noise Study must complete and submit a Transportation Planning Noise Assessment Fee Form. The form can be found at http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/doingBusiness/resources/Noise_Assessment_ Fee_Application.pdf. The noise study will not be approved until payment has been received. As indicated on the form, traffic forecasts for noise assessments will be prepared within 15 business days of the data of the request, but will be withheld if payment has not been received.

The applicant is proposing a 7-story mixed use residential building with 129 units, a 4-storey retirement home with 44 units and some street fronting townhouses along Sparrow Avenue, all on a property located south of Main Street and along the proposed Nottinghill Drive. The street fronting townhouses would need to be developed in conjunction with the adjacent plan of subdivision 30T-13102. The property currently has draft approval for 13 single detached lots. A pre- submission for this property was held in July of 2017 for a proposal consisting of 53 townhouse units. The lands are designated in the City of Cambridge Official Plan as Low/Medium Density Residential and are zoned (H)R4. An Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment may be required.
Community Planning
General Comments
The property is subject to a draft approved plan of subdivision (file 30T-06101) for 13 single detached lots. As the proposed development is significantly
Page 12 of 35
different from the draft approved plan and given that 11 years have passed since the draft approval, the subdivision file will need to be closed once the new plan of condominium application is submitted and processed.
In accordance with policy 5.2.8.3 of the new Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (P2G) 2017, any proposed plan of condominium application, if draft approved, may be subject to a lapsing date to be determined by the Region at the time of the application.
The proposed development does not include any details as to how the site will function in terms of ownership. Is one plan of condominium contemplated for both buildings (residential and retirement home) or will there be two plans of condominium, one for each building? How is this development proposed to be phased? This information needs to be provided.
Planning Justification Report
A Planning Justification Report (PJR) will be required and must address the requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (P2G) 2017, the Regional Official Plan (ROP) and the City of Cambridge Official Plan.
Hydrogeology and Source Water Protection
The subject property is located within Wellhead Protection Sensitivity Area 4 as designated in the ROP.
A Salt Management Plan (SMP) will be required as part of the plan of condominium application. As part of the SMP, Regional staff encourage the applicant to incorporate design considerations with respect to salt management, including:
. Ensure that cold weather stormwater flows are considered in the site design. Consideration should be given to minimize the transport of meltwater across the parking lots or driveway. This also has the potential to decrease the formation of ice and thereby the need for de-icing.
Page 13 of 35
. Directing downspouts towards pervious (i.e. grassy) surfaces to prevent runoff from freezing on parking lots and walkways. . Locating snow storage areas on impervious (i.e. paved) surfaces. . Locating snow storage areas in close proximity to catchbasins. . Using winter maintenance contractors that are Smart About SaltTM certified. . Using alternative de-icers (i.e. pickled sand) in favour of road salt.
The applicant is eligible for certification under the Smart About SaltTM program for this property. Completion of the SMP is one part of the program. To learn more about the program and to find accredited contractors please refer to: http://www.smartaboutsalt.com/. Benefits of designation under the program include cost savings through more efficient use of salt, safe winter conditions by preventing the formation of ice, and potential reductions in insurance premiums.
In addition, the proponent should visit https://taps.regionofwaterloo.ca to determine if any Prohibitions and/or Risk Management Plan requirements apply to this property under the Clean Water Act. This property falls within a Part IV area under the Act.
A Stormwater Management Plan will be required at the time of any proposed Official Plan and/or Zoning By-law Amendment applications. The Zoning By-law will need to include the prohibition of geothermal energy systems and/or earth energy systems.
Finally, any existing private wells will need to be decommissioned.
Servicing
Water Services staff advises of the following existing conditions and proposed future changes that could potentially impact the servicing of this property:
. The subject property is located in Pressure Zone Cam 1a. . Currently, supply from Cambridge Zone 1a is available from 200 mm dia watermains on Sparrow Avenue and Nottinghill Drive. . Main Street is currently supplied from Pressure Zone Cam 1 and has a 300 mm dia watermain that terminates near 825 Main Street. . The Region had a study completed by BM BluePlan, dated October 22,
Page 14 of 35
2015, which provides changes to the operation of the water distribution system including the expansion of Pressure Zone 1a. . There are several projects requiring completion for the expansion of Pressure Zone 1a that is currently anticipated to be undertaken over the next 5 years.
A Functional Servicing Report will be required. The Report needs to address the servicing of the site under existing conditions or advise if it requires any additional infrastructure to be developed.

The following Parks, Recreation & Culture Division (PRCD) comments and submission requirements are based on information provided in the application. The requirements are based on the mandates of the PRCD (parks, trails, forestry, cemeteries, etc.) and applicable legislation. The comments below are initial, based on the information received to date, and may change with further detail, further discussion with, or submissions by, the proponent, alternative concept designs, and/or changing City or other policy between now and submission of complete applications.
Summary of PRCD Requirements:
1. Parkland dedication – condition on planning application
2. (scoped) Tree management plan/tree permit – required on first Planning application for complete application (tree permit may not be required, applicant should confirm whether or not any of the hedgerow trees are over 20cm dbh)
3. 13-15 street trees along Nottinghill frontage (plan required, letter of credit within the appropriate schedule/agreement)
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS, CONDITIONS AND COMMENTS:
Parkland Dedication
Parkland dedication will be required as cash-in-lieu of land as a condition on the appropriate planning application.
Comment The proposed parks are not suitable as programmable parks based on a number of criteria and are not accepted by the City. The Official Plan also requires the 1/300 formula if land is required (whereas the 5% formula was used in the Concepts). An appraisal will be required as per the Planning Act (day before Page 16 of 35
day of draft approval) to the satisfaction of City of Cambridge Property & Realty Services 1/500 formula to be used as per the Official Plan/Planning Act Example for illustration purposes only of anticipated parkland dedication cash-in-lieu calculation/outcome: - 1/500 formula = 182 units / 500 units = 0.364 ha / 0.90 acres - Appraisal is $800,000/acre day before day of draft approval - $720,000 parkland dedication cash-in-lieu required (or $3,956 per unit)
Tree Management Policies & Guidelines and Tree By-law Permit
A Tree Management Plan (TMP) and Tree By-law Permit will be required for a complete application (earliest Planning application). A TMP / Tree By-law Permit (same products as for the complete Planning application) may not be required if trees above 20cm dbh do not exist on site (e.g. as part of the hedgerow on the western side of the property.
Comment
Page 17 of 35
Specific Comment The applicant should be aware that the adjacent property to the west has submitted a Landscape Plan which involves a number of plantings on the western border of the subject site. It is strongly recommended that the Tree Management Plan depict a Tree Protection Zone (silt fencing) along the western boundary whether or not the hedgerow is retained.
The TMP is scoped to the hedgerow which may or may not be shared with the neighbouring owner (875 Main). The scope would also involve not tagging individual trees within the hedgerow (“Detailed Inventory”) but as a General Inventory of the feature as per the TMP&G, and if not removed a TPZ fence line should be shown on the submitted TMP. Additionally, preservation of the hedgerow may provide some screening/premium lots. If any of the hedgerow trees are over 20cm dbh then, despite the above noting a General Inventory, those specimens would be subject to the City’s private property tree by-law and would require a permit if they are to be removed or injured.
General Comment
Trees, both City street trees in the right-of-way and your site’s trees on private property, should be looked at very early in the planning process.
A Tree Management Plan (TMP) will provide an inventory of trees above 10cm dbh, demonstrate Tree Protection Zone fencing for taking trees through the construction process, and will complete compensation calculations for trees above 20cm dbh under the private property by-law, and if applicable, compensation or protection of City street trees. The City’s by-laws which should be incorporated into the TMP include the following:
By-law 71-06 – “City-owned street tree by-law” By-law 124-18 – “private property tree by-law” Page 18 of 35
The City’s street tree by-law (71-06) concerns trees in the right-of- way typically called “street trees”. You may be proposing a new driveway (or a driveway on a new severance) that would require removal of the tree. Approval for city street tree removals is not always forthcoming and plans may have to be adjusted. The replacement cost of the tree and compensation planting, if approval is provided by the City should also be considered in addition to tree removal costs. Ownership of the tree is determined by its location (on City or on private property). City street trees must be inventoried and Tree Protection Zones and measures demonstrated in Tree Management Plan.
The City’s private property tree by-law (124-18) applies to all the trees on your site (above 20cm dbh) and prohibits removals without an approved permit and Tree Management Plan. Injury or destruction of trees requires a replacement planting and/or contribution to the Replacement Tree Planting Fund. Trees to be removed or injured will be depicted on the Tree Management Plan.
The Tree Management Plan should feature a table/plan and report, including a Detailed Inventory of each tree above 10cm dbh (subject to any scoping) and outlining:
1. Any permit requirements or information from the City tree by- laws including replacement tree planting plans and/or compensation payments (e.g. take all trees above 20cm dbh from the inventory and use the Tree Permit Application Form table to calculate compensation costs);
2. trees to be retained (and protection measures) and trees to be removed due to construction, grading, etc.. Trees to be injured and the measures to limit impacts will also be depicted on the plan alongside removals and retained trees with their Tree Protection Zone fencing;
3. special attention should note proposed protection measures, or removal rationale in the inventory table, for trees in the following Page 19 of 35
categories:
a. on boundaries, or “straddling trees” (these trees will require the written permission of the neighbour to remove as per the Forestry Act and letters should be submitted with the Tree Management Plan);
b. trees that provide some measure of screening/compatibility between the new development and existing neighbouring uses;
c. trees regulated by others (e.g. Endangered Species such as Butternut);
d. on adjacent properties should their pre-construction driplines enter the construction zones as well as signed letters from adjacent property owners noting their understanding of protection measures and suggesting any compensation planting should the applicant/construction activities damage or destroy trees on their properties within a set amount of time;
e. on City right-of-ways through the City street tree By- law 71-06;
f. trees regulated by the City’s private property tree By- law 124-18. Trees above 20cm dbh. The application form, arborist’s assessment, and compensation planting plan or funds will be required as part of the tree management plan submission.
City approval of a Tree Management Plan does not include approval of the foreseeable destruction of trees on adjacent properties and the City assumes no liability – the onus is on the applicant to conduct a thorough inventory of trees susceptible to construction impacts, note retained trees and removals, plan- implement-inspect TPZ protection measures, and to compensate neighbours for any losses should all the above reasonable efforts fail. The tree by-law (124-18) requires signed statements by neighbours for any trees injured or destroyed on their property.
Page 20 of 35
No TMP/Tree Permit will be reviewed unless all aspects, including signed letters from neighbours, are included within the information submitted and an application will not be considered complete.
Trails
No comments.
Street Tree Plan, Stormwater Management Plan, or other Landscape Plans
13-15 street trees will be required along the Nottinghill frontage. Street tree plan is required (together with Composite Utility Plan), and a letter of credit within the appropriate agreement/planning application (e.g. Plan of Condominium). Letter of credit to be calculated based on Engineering Manual standards (e.g. minimum tree every 12m of road frontage). Trees not established due to conflicts as noted in the Composite Utility Plan will still be required and applicant will have to demonstrate on the street tree plan how these trees will be provided (e.g. may involve silva cells, forfeit of letter of credit or cash-in-lieu of trees and trees are planted by the City, etc.).
The interior of the subject site will likely be required to provide a Landscape Plan as a condition (by others, e.g. Planning Division) of Site Plan or other appropriate planning application.
Fencing
The City’s fence policy does not apply as the property does not abut City lands.
Open Space
No open space associated with the subject property to convey to the City.

- 450mm Storm Sewer
This site was accounted for in sanitary design completed as part of the adjacent Greengate Subdivision. This site was assigned a population density of 115 persons per hectare. The servicing brief should include a review of the available sanitary outlets and their available capacities. An excerpt of the Greengate Sanitary Drainage Area Plan has been attached to these comments. An inspection manhole is required on the sanitary service and must be located on private lands. By-Law #146-03 permits only one (1) water service and meter per property. The City does not make provision(s) for sub-metering on a property. If the site is developed as a single condo block then only one water service will permitted. The City must approve the optimum water meter size (and its location). Submit water demand calculation sheets for the entire property/development, per the City’s Water Customer Data Sheets standard. By-Law #146-03 requires the Owner to purchase from the City any water meter larger than 25 mm (1”). Meter fees will be part of the new servicing installation costs. All watermain 100 mm (4”) and larger require a Watermain Commissioning Plan to be submitted for approval. For City procedures on water quality testing, contact the Engineering Services Division. By-Law #146-03 specifies that if the length of the water service piping between the property line and the building exceeds 30 metres, the Owner shall build, at their own expense, a chamber, protected against frost and theft, easily accessible off of the roadway, and as close as practical to the property line, for the purpose of housing the water meter.

The subject property was discussed at a pre-consultation meeting on July 27, 2017 with concept plans to redevelop the site with stacked townhouses. The subject property is zoned (H) R4 in the City of Cambridge Zoning By-law and is currently designated as Low/Medium density residential in the 2012 City of Cambridge Official Plan. As indicated at the time of the July 2017 pre-consultation meeting, this property is within the study boundaries of the Growth and Intensification Study – Main and Dundas Street South area. As part of the Study, a Secondary Plan has been drafted for this area which will provide the detailed planning framework to guide future development and redevelopment (Policy 8.7.2.B (6)). A Statutory Public meeting, in accordance with the Planning Act, has been held and a further meeting with the area stakeholders is anticipated in 2019. Please note, the results of the Study will need final approval by the City of Cambridge and Region of Waterloo. At this time, the subject property has been identified as low density residential in the draft Secondary Plan. This designation is anticipated to change to medium density residential. Medium density as proposed in the draft Secondary Plan will include street and stacked townhomes. The permitted height for new residential is proposed to be a minimum of 2 storeys up to a maximum of 4 storeys. Two alternative design concepts have been proposed for the subject property which is currently a vacant parcel of land approximately 0.8 hectares (1.98 acres) in size. Concept C9A consists of two “L” shaped apartment buildings. The first building has a proposed height of seven storeys and the second building has a proposed height of four storeys. The estimated density is 233.8 u/ha which does not conforms to Policy 8.4.6.3 a) of the 2012 Cambridge Official Plan which states low-medium residential density will have a maximum density of 40 units per hectare. Concept C9A does not conform to the proposed design principles of the draft Secondary Plan because its height is in excess of 4 storeys and would not meet
Page 34 of 35
the criteria for the medium density residential.
Concept C9C has a density of 254.4 u/ha which does not conform to Policy 8.4.6.3 a) of the 2012 Official Plan and would require an Official Plan Amendment. Concept C9C does not conform to the design principles of the Secondary Plan because the height exceeds the proposed 4 storeys in the draft Secondary Plan which would not meet the criteria for medium density residential. Density bonusing may be considered to allow the proposed density in exchange for community benefits. The benefits the applicant might consider are: affordable housing; public art or transit improvements. Affordable Housing is encouraged in the City of Cambridge Official Plan, the Region Official Plan and the Growth Plan (2017). The draft Secondary Plan encourages the re-development of infill properties which relate to adjacent properties. Infill properties should be connected to services, such as transportation, through trails or sidewalks. Staff continues to encourage the applicant to discuss this proposal with others who are proposing to develop adjacent lands. Further, the applicant is encouraged to participate as a Stakeholder at any future public consultation sessions of the Growth and Intensification Study. The staff contact for this study is Valerie Spring, Senior Planner – Reurbanization, [email protected] (519) 623-1340 ext. 4213.
