1. RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Department respectfully submits the following recommendations:
A. That Planning Report No. P-2018-13 be received;
B. That the matter of the King City North East Functional Servicing/Development Area Study (FSDAS), File No. FSDAS-2017-01, submitted by the King City East landowners group, in relation to the development of the north-east quadrant of King City, for residential uses, be referred back to staff, together with all agency. Applicant, Township department and public comments, for a further report following the completion of the Planning Department's review;
C. That staff continue to work and meet with the Applicant to review and address the comments expressed by Council, the public, the Applicant, Township departments and other public agencies, and the Applicant provide revisions and/or further supporting information for the FSDAS in this regard;
D. That the processing and review of the related applications for draft plan of subdivison approval and zoning by-law amendment within the King City North East FSDAS study area be held in abeyance until the review of the FSDAS has been further advanced and Planning staff has prepared a further report for Council's consideration in this regard;
2. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this report is to provide information with respect to the King City North East Functional Servicing/Development Area Study (FSDAS) and the related public meeting.
The King City Community Plan (KCCP) requires a Functional Servicing/Development Area Study (FSDAS), including various component studies, to be submitted as a basis for the evaluation of the development of the subject lands. The FSDAS provides the foundation for the integration of the development of the new community area with the existing community and natural environment, and is based on a broader planning area.
Planning Department Report Page 5 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 2
A land owners group has assembled for the purpose of completing the FSDAS. The King City East land owners group (the "Applicant'VKCELG) is comprised of various participating property owners in the study area, as illustrated on Appendix A. At this time, several properties within the study area are not participating in a direct manner, however, these non-participating lands are still required to be considered by the FSDAS.
The King City North-East FSDAS for the subject lands had been previously submitted, however, requires revisions, updates, and further review. In consultation with the Township and other public agencies, the Applicant commenced work on the FSDAS in 2005. The FSDAS was completed and submitted to the Township in February 2006. As the review proceeded, the review and approval of the FSDAS was scoped to address the lands south of the railway corridor only (Phase 1). The FSDAS for the south-east quadrant was approved by the Township in 2007 for the first phase, i.e. the properties known as King North, King Dufferin, Zancor Homes (King South)/Kingshire Estates, Hickory Hills/Great Gulf, and Osmington (Aspen Ridge). The FSDAS for the subject lands, i.e. phase 2/northern portion of study area was deferred at that time. As the phase 1 lands have approached build out the KCELG have proceeded with the phase 2 FSDAS at this time. The FSDAS is to be approved in advance of the approval of individual subdivision/development applications.
The subject lands are also subject to the policies of Official Plan Amendment no. 89 (CPA 89). CPA 89 amended the KCCP to, amongst other amendments, increase the permitted residential density within the Low Density Residential 5 Area (LDR 5) to an average gross density of 7 units per hectare (3 units per acre) and provide minor reductions to the environmental buffers/vegetation protection zones in limited and isolated "pinch point" locations. Planning staff is currently reviewing the proposed development in relation to the broader development area within the LDR 5 area to ensure conformity with CPA 89.
3. PROPOSAL
The completion of FSDAS is effectively the first step towards the implementation of the residential development contemplated by OPA 89. The FSDAS has been submitted to the Township to facilitate subsequent and future related applications for approval of Draft Plans of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendments. More specifically, the FSDAS proposes a range of uses including residential of varying forms and lot sizes, parks, school, environmental protection lands, and stormwater management. The total residential unit count by type and property is outlined in more detail below.

4. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Townhou The study area of the FSDAS (refer to Figure 1) applies to lands generally describedUnits as the north-east quadrant of King City, north of the railway corridor, south of the 15'^ Sideroad, west of Dufferin Street, and east of the existing community boundary. The study area is approximately 239 hectares, of which the KCELG controls approximately 205 ha (86%). The lands are generally undeveloped and characterized by mixed topography and traversed by various natural heritage features (eg. watercourses, wetlands, valleylands). The surrounding lands are located within the existing community or outside of the Community Plan boundary of the King City Community Plan and are not designated for future development.
5. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS
On January 18, 2018, a public information session was held to introduce the proposal to the community and to provide information and receive and respond to comments from the public. Notice of the Public Meeting of Council was mailed to surrounding property owners and other interested parties and agencies. The notice has aiso been published in the local newspaper. At the time of the writing of this report. Planning staff has received comments from the solicitors for 632025 Ontario Ltd. (13330 Dufferin Street) with respect to matters of coordination between
Planning Department Report Page 7 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 4 the development proposed for 13330 Dufferin Street and the subject lands. A copy of the submission is attached as Appendix 2.
6. AGENCY COMMENTS
The FSDAS has been circulated for comment to internal Township Departments, as well as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Region of York, the public School Board, the Catholic School Board, and the Provincial Ministry of Natural Resources.
At the time of the writing of this report, only the comments of the Region of York have been received. The Region's comments (Appendix 1) address a range of matters including servicing allocation, traffic and roads matters.
7. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
7.1 King City Community Plan (KCCP)
As shown on Figure 2, the subject lands are designated as Low Density Residential 5. The policies of CPA 89 include permission for a range of housing types including single detached, semi-detached, townhouses, or other similar dwelling types not exceeding 3 storeys, and seniors housing not exceeding 3 storeys, at an average gross density of 7 units per hectare. Other lands within the study area are designated Environmental Protection Area.
Prior to any new development and draft plan approval of subdivisions outside the "existing community", CPA 89 requires a comprehensive development plan to be approved by the Township, together with other public agencies, and address all lands within the study area. The FSDAS has been submitted by the KCELG for this purpose. The FSDAS will comprehensively coordinate and layout the major components (roads/street pattern, open space, areas for environmental protection, parks, schools, servicing, etc.) of the future new development, amongst the various land ownerships within the study area to ensure that future plans of subdivision are properly integrated between themselves and with the existing community. The framework provided by the FSDAS is intended to be refined and designed in more detail through its implementation at the draft plan of subdivision stage, following the approval of the FSDAS.
7.2 King City East Functionai Servicing/Development Area Study
The FSDAS is comprised of various components to address the policies of the Community Plan and the Township's terms of reference. Several of the components are addressed in more detail below. Township staff's review of each component is under review and detailed comments will be provided to the Applicant with respect to any required revisions and/or additional information.
Land Use Concept/Preliminarv Development Plan
The land use concept of the FSDAS is based upon the land use designations of the King City Community Plan/CPA 89. The FSDAS lays out the basic land use pattern which lays the foundation for the overall development of the study area. The general land use
Planning Department Report Page 8 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 5 concept/preliminary development layout is shown on Figure 4 of this report. The FS/DAS proposes the development of the study area for:
• primarily low density residential, approximately 897 single detached dwellings;
• 47 townhouses and 77 lifestyle condominium townhouses;
• a network of open space and environmentally protected lands;
• 1 community scale park, 2 neighbourhood parks, and a future elementary school site;
• a road network which most notably includes a bridge crossing of the environmental lands in the central portion of the study area in order to link the eastern and western portions of the community;
• a network of environmentally protected lands comprised of various key natural heritage features such as wetlands, valleylands, and woodlands;
• a pedestrian and cycling trail and path network.
While staffs review remains on-going, staff has identified several preliminary comments:
• the number of cul-de-sac roads should be minimized in order to enhance neighbourhood connectivity and the pedestrian and transit orientation of the new neighbourhoods;
• a need to re-design the development pattern to avoid reverse frontage lotting (i.e. lots which have double frontage and back on to roads) due to design, aesthetic, engineering and maintenance concerns of noise mitigation features. The plan currently proposes a significant amountof reverse frontage lotting along Dufferin Street and 15^ Sideroad;
• potential to increase the amount of townhouses or semi-detached units (OPA 89 permits up to 15% of the units to be townhouses or semi-detached, while the current concept plan proposes approximately 12%), and to further distribute these units throughout the study area;
• further detail required in regard to the overall phasing of the development relative to the timing of the east-west collector road and bridge crossing, and the provision of a temporary emergency access route to the 15^ sideroad and adjacent to the park and school blocks in order so that the overall phasing of development is more flexible relative to the timing of the construction of the bridge crossing;
• staff notes that some lands currently within the study area but not within the KCELG as a participating owner merit further consideration to be included within the landowners group in order to most effectively and efficiently provide for the development of such lands with respect to coordination of external services and other matters. In particular, staff notes that the review of the development proposed for the lands located at 13330 Dufferin Street should be considered in conjunction with the KCELG development concept. Planning staff has and will continue to encourgage cooperation between these land owners;
Planning Department Report Page 9 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 6
• Planning staff notes that some properties within the subject area may be less appropriate and/or capable of supporting the density permitted by OPA 89 while some sites may be more appropriate for higher density, thereby achieving the average of 7 units per hectare as permitted by OPA 89. For example, the Acorn property and portions of the King Rocks property have significant access limitations which may present a challenge to achieve a design with multiple access points and, therefore, more difficult to rationalize a higher number of units within those areas. The Township's typical standard for the number of units allowed on a single access is approximately 40 units. OPA 89 includes specific policies which require consideration of these factors when determining the appropriate density/yield for that area. Conversely, areas in close proximity to Regional/arterial roads, future transit routes, community amenities such as parks and schools, may be more well suited to higher densities;
• the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department has been working with the applicant to identify parkland and facility needs and the size, location and distribution of such parks throughout the future development. Based upon the identification of the land/park requirements in the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan 2013 a requirement for both a Community Park and associated neighbourhood parks has been identified. Comments on the approximate sizing and location of these parks have been provided;
• As an element of the review process for OPA 89, the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) advised that they will require a future school site within the development area. The FSDAS has included a future school site. Planning staff has not yet received the comments of YRDSB with respect to the FSDAS and the siting and sizing of the proposed school site.
It is important to note that, although illustrated on the concept plan, the FSDAS does not specifically address or provide approval for the overall lot pattern and/or density of development. These matters are typically addressed at the subsequent draft plan of subdivision stage.
Environment
The environmental analysis component of the FSDAS includes a natural heritage evaluation Significant Woodlands Assessment, Restoration Strategy, and Wetland Compensation plan. The study area contains several environmental features including wetlands, watercourses, woodlands, valley and stream corridors. The FSDAS identifies the boundaries of these features including buffers, and provides an assessment for their protection and for avoiding and mitigating any impacts of development. The boundaries of the environmental features were established in the field in accordance with the policies of the Community Plan, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and in consultation with Planning, Ministry of Natural Resources, and TRCA staff. These policies generally require 30 metre (+/- ICQ ft.) buffers adjacent to the environmental features. The FSDAS incorporates these buffers and maintains the future development/lots outside their limits, with the exception of several isolated "pinch points" as permitted by OPA 89.
The review of these components of the FSDAS is underway by the TRCA. Township staff requires the TRCA's comments in order to further evaluate these elements of the FSDAS. The TRCA's comments have not yet been received by Planning staff.
Planning Department Report Page 10 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report 9-2018-13 Page 7
Design: Urban Design/Landscape and Architecture
The design component of the FSDAS is to be guided by the community design strategy of the King City Community Plan. The purpose of the design strategy is to establish a clear set of urban design principles that provide direction for high quality neighbourhoods within the study area and guide the visual character of the new development. The design strategy includes a:
• Urban design/landscape plan: the urban design plan provides for the integrated design of the public and private realms by addressing elements such as streetscape design, landscape buffers, gateways and nodes. This includes street trees, street lights, fencing, etc..
• Architecture design guidelines: the architecture design guidelines establish architectural design principles intended to harmonize the natural and built environments and provide a general overview of the intended visual character for the built-form by addressing various architectural elements, such as site planning, building entrances, windows, garages, etc.. The guidelines are intended to provide the framework for more detailed site specific guidelines to be implemented through individual subdivisions.
Staffs review of the urban design/landscape plan remains on-going, however, the following preliminary comments are identified:
• In general, staff notes that the FSDAS provides a significant amount of connectivity throughout the different sections of the study area as well as between the study area and the existing neighbourhoods. In particular, pedestrian connections are proposed to Tawes Trail, as well as a pedestrian crossing of the East Number River through the Acorn lands and ultimately connecting to the lands south of the railway. Overall, through a network of sidewalks, trails, and bike/muiti use paths, the FSDAS proposes a high level of pedestrian connectivity;
• the primary location for the trail network will be within the environmental buffers. Staff is generally satisfied in this regard, however, some potential revisions to the trail layout and linkages/connections and additional information regarding the trail design, may be required;
• the review of the parkland area calculation details is underway to ensure that the amount of parkland provided is appropriate relative to the parkland requirements of the Planning Act. Any shortfall will be addressed through a cash-in-lieu payment and a related Parkland Dedication Agreement between the KDELG and the Township as a condition of draft plan approval;
• The review of the proposed park sizes, locations, facilities is under review by Township Parks, Recreation and Culture staff;
• stormwater management facilities have been sited together with other open space/environmental lands and serve to provide additional public open/"green" road frontage and vistas. Staff is supportive of this approach.
Staffs review of the architectural design guidelines component remains on-going and further comments will be provided at a later date.
Planning Department Report Page 11 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 8
Transportation/Traffic Impacts
The FSDAS also includes a transportation/traffiG analysis which makes detaiied recommendations with respect to projected traffic impacts to the existing and proposed roads and necessary improvements to roads and intersections to accommodate the proposed development. This component of the FSDAS is currently under review by the Township's Engineering and Pubiic Works Department and additional comments will be provided upon completion of their review. Preliminary comments have noted the following:
• a requirement for additional information with respect to the proposed cross-section of the collector and local roads in the study area. In particular, concerns have been expressed with respect to the incorporation of multi-use paths rather than dedicated side-walks and bicycle paths;
• a need to minimize the number and length of cul-de-sac roads to facilitate continuity of the local and collector road network between neighbourhoods, efficient roads maintenance, as weli as accommodate appropriate servicing; there is also a concern with respect to the length of some of the cul-de-sacs which would result in a significant stretch being served by a singie access point;
as noted above there is a need to re-design the development pattern to avoid reverse- lotting. This will likely require revisions to the road pattern. This comment has also been provided and reinforced by the Region of York;
the development includes a proposed road connection into the existing community at the easterly terminus of East Number Drive. As noted above, a continuous road network between neighbourhoods is considered appropriate. However, staff also notes the extent of development served by a single access point should be minimized. Staff has expressed a concern with respect to the length and number of units proposed to be served by a single access by the extension of East Number Drive and has requested the Applicant to explore possible revisions in this regard;
Staff also notes the need to address construction access with respect to the Acorn lands to ensure construction access is not proposed or provided via East Number Drive. It is staffs understanding that the Applicant has been pursuing this matter with the TRCA to ensure that a viable construction access route from Dufferin Street can be achieved. Preliminary comments provided to date indicate that such a route will be viable subject to certain design and construction requirements of the TRCA. However, Planning staff continues to await receipt of the TRCA's comments;
the alternatives for the main east-west collector road route and location of the bridge crossing of the valley/stream corridor have been considered through a concurrent Environmental Assessment (EA) process together with the FSDAS and planning approval process. Public consultation has taken place as an element of the EA process. The FSDAS has incorporated the outcome of that process.
Planning Department Report Page 12 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-201d-13 Page 9
The Region of York has carried out a review of the transportation analysis and provided comments and requested additional information to be provided by the KCELG. The Region's comments area attached as Appendix 1.
Water and Sanitarv Servicino and Stormwater Manaoement
New development is required by the Community Plan to be serviced by full municipal services. The existing municipal water supply and distribution system is proposed to be extended to service the development contemplated by the FSDAS. The proposed development will also be serviced by the municipal sanitary sewer system. The Township's Engineering and Public Works Department is reviewing the servicing analysis submitted with the FSDAS and will be providing detail technical comments in this regard.
The Region has confirmed that there is adequate capacity in the existing water supply system for King City to accommodate the proposed growth including the development proposed by the FSDAS.
The Region has also noted that the increase in the overall population of King City as provided by CPA 89 may require upgrades to the Regional sanitary system infrastructure, in particular, the main King City Sewage Pumping Station located south of King Road and west of Keele Street.
Planning staff is undertaking a review of the FSDAS with respect to overall phasing which will, amongst other matters, identify the priority and phasing of the developments relative to the availabiilty of servicing capacity allocation. The specific allocation of capacity to the individual developments will take place at the draft plan of subdivision approval stage.
The FSDAS also includes an overall drainage and stormwater management plan. In general, the stormwater management scheme is based upon a series of stormwater management ponds dispersed throughout the study area. The FSDAS provides the advantage of a broader study area which allows for the most appropriate and efficient locations for these facilities and their shared use amongst multiple properties, thereby minimizing the number of these facilities which will ultimately be assumed by the Township. The FSDAS also proposes the stormwater management blocks to partially extend into the environmental buffers, but not within the environmental feature itself. The policies of the Community Plan permit this approach subject to the need and no negative impacts to the environmental feature being demonstrated by the FSDAS. Staff and TRCA have indicated general acceptance of this approach, however. Planning staff has not yet received the TRCA's comprehensive comments on the FSDAS.
Timino/Phasino
The FS/DAS is also required to address the phasing and staging of the development to detail the location, rate and timing of new development to ensure that growth contemplated occurs in a comprehensive and orderly manner. The phasing must address broad considerations such as the servicing capacity allocation, road network and access constraints, and servicing infrastructure connections. Staff is continuing to review the FSDAS in this regard and will be providing further comments.
Planning Department Report Page 13 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 10
Noise and Vibration
The FS/DAS also addresses noise and vibration impacts. Most notable with respect to this component of the FS/DAS is the identification that the reverse frontage lotting proposed by the development results in a need for noise and vibration mitigation measures (sound barrier/fencing, berming, etc.). Staff has concerns with respect to the design and aesthetic impacts, engineering and maintenance of these measures. The Community Plan includes specific policies to prohibit reverse frontage lotting and, as such, the FSDAS must be revised.
Planning staff also awaits the comments of Metrolinx with respect to noise and vibration impacts related to the railway corridor and necessary mitigation measures.
7.3 Applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment
The FSDAS provides the overall framework for the submission and evaluation of future draft plans of subdivision on the individual properties within the study area. Some of the participating landowners have recently submitted applications for draft plan of subdivision and zoning amendment for their respective properties. However, the processing of these applications has not advanced since the FSDAS has not yet been finalized and approved. As discussed above, the FSDAS will establish the framework for the layout and evaluation of the future subdivisions. Since further comments and revisions to the FSDAS are anticipated, it would be premature for the review of the related applications for draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment to proceed at this time.
7.2 Region of York Official Plan and Provincial Policy/Plans
The subject lands are designated "Towns and Villages" and "Regional Greenlands System" as shown on Maps 1 and 2 of the York Region Official Plan (2010), and are within the "Settlement Area" designation as per the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.
The Regional Plan indicates that the Township is required to plan for population growth from 20,300 people in 2006 to 34,900 people in 2031, an increase of 14,600 people. This additional population is to be provided by a combination of development within the existing built up areas (intensification) and development within designated greenfield areas. CPA 89 which provides for the residential development contemplated by the FSDAS was approved by the Region on the basis of these population targets.
The Province's "Places to Grow" Plan promotes intensification and sets specific targets for residential intensification. It should be noted that the targets set by the Growth Plan are to be considered in a broader community and regional context. The Growth Plan recognizes that one size does not fit all and that municipalities are to develop their own policies and phasing strategies to achieve the targets in a manner that respects and compliments the community's character. The development proposed by the FSDAS will assist in achieving the above noted growth targets set by the Growth plan and the Region of York Official Plan.
The subject lands are also located within the Greenbelt area. However, they are located within a designated settlement area of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) and, therefore, not subject to the Greenbelt Plan, but rather are to be govemed by the King City Community Plan and the ORMCP. The subject lands are also designated "settlement" by the ORMCP and, therefore, their development for residential purposes, in accordance with the King
Planning Department Report Page 14 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Planning Department Report P-2018-13 Page 11
City Community Plan Is permitted. The FSDAS is currently under review by both the Township and the TRCA with respect to the detailed technical requirements of the ORMCP.
8. INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY PLAN LINKAGE
The recommendations of this report support the land use planning objectives of the Environmental Pillar, of the Township's Sustainability Plan. However, further analysis in regard to the Township's Sustainability Plan will be addressed in the subsequent recommendation report from Planning staff to Committee on this matter.
9. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Any external costs (peer-review architect, legal, engineering, etc.) incurred by the Township through the processing and review of this application will be recovered from the applicant.
Security deposits, ievies, development charges, and cash-in-lieu of parkland, if required, wiii be collected at later stages in the development review process. Further financial implications, if any, will be assessed as the review proceeds.
10. CONCLUSION
The review of the FSDAS remains on-going by the Planning Department and other Township Departments and external agencies. Planning staff requires further opportunity to continue to review the FSDAS, provide comments, and work with the applicant to review and address the various issues raised in this report as well as by the public and Council. In addition, comments have not yet been received from ail departments and agencies. As the review proceeds. Planning staff will report back to Committee of the Whole. It is recommended that this report be received and referred back to staff, together with any public and Council comments, for a future report.

Mr. Gaspare Ritacca, MClP, RPP Manager of Planning and Development Township of King 2075 King Road King City, ON L7B lAl
Dear Mr. Ritacca:
Re: Request for Comments - Functional Servicing/ Development Area Study (1^^ Submission) King City East - North Lands The King City East Landowners' Group Township of King
Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comments on the Functional Servicing/ Development Area Study King City East - North Lands, prepared for the King City East Landowners' Group, dated November 2017. The King City East (KCE) - North Lands are approximately 205 hectares (506 acres) in size and are generally located south of 15^^ Sideroad, north of the railway line, east of Keele Street and west of Dufferin Street in the Community of King City.
Prior to submitting new and revised subdivision and zoning applications for the various properties on the KCE North lands, King Township required the submission of an updated Functional Servicing/ Development Area Plan (FSDAS). We understand the purpose of the FSDAS is to provide the basis for the successful integration of this development area with the surrounding existing community and natural/ environmental systems and to set out facility and infrastructure, servicing, drainage, design, open space, heritage, and transportation requirements, as well as implementation, phasing and monitoring requirements. The FSDAS will form the basis of evaluation of future development proposals and plans of subdivision on the KCE North lands. The content of the FSDAS will also tie into the Joint Class 'C Environmental Assessment for the crossing of the Eaton Hall Creek and/ or Tawes Trail currently in progress.
APPENDIX T The Regional Municipality of York, 17250 Yonge Street, Newmarket, Ontario L3Y 6Z1 Tel: 905-830-4444,1-877-464-YORK (1-877-464-9675) Internet: www.york.ca
Planning Department Report Page 20 of 95 Number P-2018-13 FunctionalServicing/DevelopmentArea Study King CityEast - North Lands(FSDAS-2017-01) 2
Proposed Concept The KCE North lands are proposed to be developed as a predominately residential neighbourhood with a focus on environmental protection, the incorporation of public parks and trails, and a potential school site. The Plan consists of primarily single detached lots (863 units) with some townhouse units (47 units) and lifestyle seniors' units (55 units) on a condominium site, totalling approximately 1020 units. Approximately 91 hectares (225 acres) or 44% of the participating Landowners' lands consists of natural heritage features and minimum vegetation protection zones (vpz).
Planning Policy Context The subject lands are within the "Settlement Area" designation as perthe Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and are designated 'Towns and Villages" on Map 1 of the York Region Official Plan - 2010 (yROP-2010). The lands are generally undeveloped or "greenfield" and are outside the existing built-up area. Map 2 shows a portion of the subject lands within the Regional Greenlands System. Watercourses, Provincially Significant Wetlands and wetlands are located the subject site (Map 4), along with woodlands (Map 5) and valley lands. Habitat for several Species at Risk, including Redside Dace, an endangeredspecies, has also been identified onthe subject lands. The site is within Wellhead Protection Area D(WHPA-D) (Map 6), an Area of High Aquifer Vulnerability (Map 7), a Significant Groundwater Recharge Area (Map 13), a Highly Vulnerable Aquifer (Map 14), and within Recharge Management Area (WHPA-Q) based on current mapping. IS^** Sideroad, Keele Street and Dufferin Street are Regional Roads with planned street widths of up to 36 metres (Map 12).
York Region has reviewed the FADAS and provides the following comments:
Regional Planning 1. Recently approved OPA 89 permits a density of 7 units per hectare (uph) on the subject lands. While OPA 89 allows a small increase in densityup to 15% of the unitsto be semi- detatched or townhouses to meet the equivalent population of 7 uph. Page viii. of the Planning Opinion Report indicates that approximately 3,060 persons and 1,020 residential units are proposed resulting in a density of 7.2 uph on the King City East North Lands. The density proposed appears to be in keeping with the persons equivalent; however, should the proposed concept exceed the density requirements of OPA 89, an Official PlanAmendment may be required.
2. OPA 89 also permits the reduction ofthe 30m buffer in5 areas on the plan of up to 20% (or 6m) of the 30m, if supported by an environmental study. Based on the concept provided, reductions are proposed in 2 of the 5 areas identified. A Natural Heritage Evaluation (NHE), Natural Heritage Assessment, and Significant Woodland Assessment was submitted in support of the FSDAS, along with studies prepared by North-South Environmental addressing the site alteration, compensation strategy and ecological function associated with the previous removal a 0.2 hectare area of a PSW located on the Kingsfield property.York Region relieson the TRCA to review and provide comment
Planning Department Report Page 21 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Functional Servicing/ Development Area Study King CityEast - North Lands (FSDAS-2017-01)
on natural heritage matters related to the Regional Greenlands System and associated applicable provincial plans. We understand that TRCA is still in the process on conducting their review of this submission. We defer to the TRCA and their review of the studies addressing Natural Heritage, the determination of the appropriateness of the VPZ intrusions, and the proposed compensation/ wetland restoration. York Region requests that a copy of TRCA comments be provided for our review and further comment.
3. With respect to water and sanitary servicing for the KCR North lands, page 44 of the Planning Opinion Report states that, "York Region had confirmed that there is sufficient water and sanitary allocation to support the proposed densities". As reflected in comment #4 below, servicing allocation is assigned by the local municipality. Please refer to the infrastructure Asset Management Section for full detailed comments.
4. Please confirm and provide the density target calculation for this development area (i.e. • of persons & jobs per hectare). A number of density calculations are shown in the Planning Opinions Report but it is unclear where this calculation is documented.
Infrastructure Asset Management (lAM) lAM has reviewed the King City East North Lands Development Area Plan in conjunction with the FSDAS dated November 10,2017 and providethe following comments:
Servicing Allocation 5. All residential development requires servicing capacity allocation from the Township of King prior to the final approval of the developments proposed within the Development Plan area. Ifthe Township of King does not grant allocation from the existing capacity assignments to date, the build out of the Development Plan area may require additional Regional infrastructure based on conditions of future capacity assignment, which may include:
• Duffin CreekWPCP Outfall Modification —2021pendingthe outcome of the Class EA currently underway • Other projects as may be identified in future studies. Thetiming of the above infrastructure isthe current estimate and maychange as each infrastructure project progresses and isprovided for information purposes only.
Potential Impact on Regional Water and Wastewater Svstems 6. King City is connected to York Region's York Water System with Lake Ontario based supply from Peel and Toronto. There is adequate capacity in the system to service the
Planning Department Report Page 22 of 95 Number P-2018-13 FunctionalServicing/Development AreaStudy King CityEast - North Lands (FSDAS-2017-01) 4
planned growth, including the proposed development subjectto the availability of local municipal infrastructure.
7. King City is part of the Regional York Durham Sanitary System (YDSS). York Region's King City Sanitary Pumping Station (SPS) located near Keele St. and King Road was originally designed to service the Community Plan residential population of 12,000 persons and associated employment. The additional increase in population from the ongoingOPAs in King City, including the subject development, will have a potential impact on the capacity of the King City Pump Station and associated linear infrastructure. Although minor impacts may be manageable through the ongoing water conservation programs and Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Strategy, significant increase in population beyond 12,000 persons may require an upgrade of the King City Sewage PumpingStation.
Transportation Planning/ Traffic Signals Operations 8. ATransportation/Traffic Road Pattern Study was prepared in July 2016 to support the related CPA application (CPA 89) for this development area. York Region has reviewed and determined that this Study must be updated to be consistentwith the York Region Transportation Mobility Plan Guidelines for Development Applications (November 2016).
9. The studyshall alsoinclude a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management plan to support active transportation and transit, and to minimize the number of single- occupant-vehicle trips to/from the proposed development.
10. Comments were provided on the Transportation/Traffic Road Pattern Studyat the OPA stage in our letter dated July 6, 2016. These comments must be addressed in the updated study.
Upon receipt of the updated Transportation Mobility Plan, we will continue our review and provide further comment. Additional preliminary comments have also been provided to assist with subsequent development applications (i.e. future draft plans of subdivision) in the attached memorandum.
Development Engineering 11. Section 5.2 should identify the opportunities for urbanization along King Road and Dufferin Street.
12. Page 18 of Section 5.3.2 discusses sub trunk watermains on 15^^ Sideroad and Dufferin Street. However, figures for the proposed servicing plan 5.10, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.14 did not include these proposals of boundary watermain on 15*^ Sideroad and Dufferin Street.
Planning Department Report Page 23 of 95 Number P-2018-13 Functional Servicing/Development Area Study King City East - North Lands (FSDAS-2017-01) 5
13. Page 19 of Section 5.3.4discusses adequate capacity in the water distribution systemto supply water to non-participating lands; however the report did not elaborate on how the water connection to non-participating lands will be achieved.
14. Page 86 of Section 9.1 the construction phasing plan only addresses the schedule of spine services. However, the plan should also include the infrastructure required to adequately service all phases of the development including Street C, Street E, IS^"^ Sideroad and Dufferin Street road works. The phasing plan should also address the impact of non-participating landowners on the overall servicing of the FSDAS area, and what interim servicingmeasures will be required.
15.The Transportation / Traffic / Road Pattern Study (July 2016) recommends that the collector road intersection with Dufferin Street be controlled by a traffic signal. However, the detailed signal warrant and need justification will need to be brought forth during the preparation of the detailed Traffic Study for the King City East lands. Regional Council has recently approved the signalization of the Country Day School access. It is recommended that an interconnection from the King City East lands to the south lands (non-participating) be protected such that ifa signal is not warranted at the proposed collector road and Dufferin Street intersection the development traffic from the King City East lands will have access to a signalized intersection. Additionally, should the Non-Participating Landowners opposite to the Country Day School become part of the King City East Landowners Group, opportunities should be explored to align an access with the existing Country DaySchool access on the east side of DufferinStreet. 16.15^^ Sideroad between Keele Street and Dufferin Street is a year round load restricted. Evaluation ofthe pavement condition of IS^'^ Sideroad is required by the Landowners' group and anytemporary improvements, ifnecessary, provided.
17. The SWM section 5.5ofthe reportdoes not discuss the condition ofthe existing culverts that convey drainage under the Regional road or their capacities. The report needs to Include a condition survey and capacity of each cross culverts. Depending on timing of build out, the Landowners' group may be required to replace the culverts that are in poor condition.
18. Any proposed tree removal in the Region's right-of-way is subject to the York Region Tree Removal Policy. Notree removal is permitted without Regional approval.
19. Based on Figure 27: Noise Barrier Locations of the Planning Opinion Report, 1.8m high barriers are proposed along the 15^^ Sideroad, save and except for the identified environmental areas, and a 2.2m high barrier is proposed along the entire frontage of Dufferin Street to facilitate the reverse frontage lots proposed. Policy 9.2.4.2 v) of the King City Community Plan generally prohibits reverse lotting on all streets. York Region supports this policy given the extent of Noise Barrier proposed along both Regional
Planning Department Report Page 24 of 95 Number P-2018-13 FunctionalServicing/Development Area Study King CityEast - North Lands(FSDAS-2017-01) 6
Roads. As such, York Region requests KCE to re-examine alternative lot layouts and/ or other opportunities in an effortto reduce the amount of noise barriers necessary. This approach is consistent with Section 3 of the York Region Traffic Noise Mitigation Policy for Regional Roads (March 23, 2016) which states that noise barriers are only to be used as a last resort where no other noise mitigation measures are feasible. Alternative methods of reducing the noise impact shall be considered prior to considering noise barriers (i.e. alternate alignments, landscapeberms etc.).
20. The Noise and Vibration Impact Feasibility Study prepared by J. E. Coulter Associates Limited dated November 10, 2017 has referred to the Newmarket subdivision throughout the document, this should be King City. Please revise the document accordingly.
Water Resources 21. As the property iswithin a Wellhead Protection Area and within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Boundary, under the YROP-2010 please note that there is a prohibition on the following activities, listed below, on the site associated with the storage, manufacture or use of: • Petroleum-based fuels and or solvents; • Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or fertilizers; • construction equipment; • Inorganic chemicals; • Road salt and contaminants as Identified bythe Province; • Thegeneration and storage of hazardous waste or liquid industrial waste, and waste disposal sites and facilities; • Organic soilconditioning sites and the storage and application of agricultural and non-agriculturalsource organic materials; and, • Snow storage and disposal facilities.
22. The property ispartially located within a Significant Groundwater Recharge Area (SGRA) andentirely within the WHPA-Q. As such the CTC Source Protection Plan waterquantity recharge maintenance policy will apply. The proponent will be required to maintain recharge as demonstrated through a hydrogeological study that shows the existing (i.e. pre proposed development) water balance can be maintained in the future (i.e. post proposed development). The CTC Source Protection Plan Water Balance Requirements document and TRSPA Water Balance Tool fhttDs://trca.ca/conservation/drinklng-water- source-protection/trspa-water-balance-tool/) should be consulted. The contact person forthe scoping and review ofthe water balance forSource Protection Plan conformity is Don Ford at Toronto Region Conservation Authority.
23. The owner is to be advised that Low Impact Development (LID) measures are encouraged to be applied to the site. As per YROP-2010 policy 2.3.37, developments
Planning Department Report Page 25 of 95 Number P-2018-13 FunctionalServicing/Development AreaStudy King CityEast- North Lands(FSDAS-2017-01) 7
should maximize infiltration through integrated treatment approach techniques to minimize stormwater volume and contaminant loads. This should include, but not be limited to, techniques such as rainwater harvesting, phosphorus reduction, constructed wetlands, bioretention swales, green roofs, permeable surfaces, clean water collection systems, and the preservation and enhancement of native vegetation cover. The use of the following resource is encouraged: Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning and Design Guide and is available using the following link: http://www.creditvallevca.ca/low-impact-develoDment/low-imDact-development- support/stormwater-management-lid-guidance-documents/low-impact-development- stormwater-management-plannine-and-desien-guide/.
24. The site is on the Oak Ridges Moraine (CRM), and the prohibition policy takes precedence, the Highly Vulnerable Aquifer policy requiring a Contaminant Management Plan should there be bulk fuel or chemicals onsite will not be triggered.
25. Should significant dewatering be required, a Dewatering Plan shall be prepared by a qualified person and submitted by the proponent to York Region for approval prior to excavation.
Summary Upon receiving the requested information outlined in this letter, we will continue our review and provide further comment on this application. York Region staff is available to provide assistance throughout this application processshould it be required.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Sara Brockman, Senior Planner, at 1-877-464-9675, ext. 75750 or at [email protected].

In response to updated transportation analysis provided by the applicant's consultant, we have revised ourTransportation Planning comments that were previously included inour letter dated June 22, 2016. As recommended in the updated "KCE Transportation Assessment andJnstification Report" by Poulos and Chung Limited, dated July, 2016, the densities being proposed at 7 units per hectare can be satisfactorily accommodated by the available and feasible roadway network. As such, the capof 450 dwelling units that were subject to a Holding Provision "H" and tied to a new east/west collector road, and King Road/Keele Street intersection improvements, will no longer benecessary. Transportation and engineering staff has no objection to the proposed OPA application. Updated detailed comments have been provided ina memo dated July 5, 2016 (attached), which also provide preliminary comments for subsequent development applications for thissite. Please note that, in addition to the revised comments above, all othercomments provided inourletter dated June 22,2016 remain unchanged.

RE: Proposed Official Plan Amendment Application - OP-2015-02 King City East Landowners Group King City East - Phase 2 (North) Part ofLots 7-10, Concession 3 South west quadrant of Dufferin Street and 15th Sideroad Township of King
As requested, Regional staff has reviewed the proposed OPAapplication alongwith the updated supporting Transportation/Traffic/Road Patterning Study (TPS) report dated July2016 prepared by Poulos & Chung. The proposed OPA application is for the KingCity East(KCE) Lands-Phase 2 development. The proposed OPA application is to increase the density from 3.0dwellings units to 7 dwelling units per hectare resulting in an increase from 450approved dwelling units to 989 dwelling units in the area. The KCE lands are bounded by 1S"' Sideroad on the North, Dufferin Street on the East, existing development and Keele Streeton the west and existing development and King Road on the south side.
The following updated consolidated comments are provided in coordination with staff from Transportation Planning, Trafllc Signal Operations, Development Engineering and YRT/Viva.
A. OPA Comments
York Region staff has no objection to the approval of the Official PlanAmendment application.
B. Preliminary Comments for Subsequent Development Applications for this site

3. Access should be provided via local roads where possible. If accesses are proposed onto Regional Roads, it shall meet the Region's Access Guidelines and appropriate analysis must be provided for review at the site plan stages for the developmentapplications in the KCE lands.
4. Directshared pedestrian and cyclingconnections shall be provided to the boundary roadways and adjacentdevelopments to support publictransitand active transportation. A pedestrian and cyclingconnection shall be provided connecting TawesTrail with the proposed development.
5. Address all commentsdetailed in Section C on the supporting updated Transportation/Traflic/Road Patterning Study (TPS) report, dated July 2016, prepared by Poulos & Chung.
6. Comprehensive transportation demand management implementation plansshall be provided by the individualdevelopmentapplicationsat the site plan stages to support active transportation and transit, and also to reduce the number ofauto trips to/from the proposed developments. However,the detailed Transportation/Traffic/Road PatterningStudy preparedin support of the KCE Lands shall also include a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management(TDM) Plan. The TDM Plan shall include:
i. Strategies and incentives that could be implemented given it will be a car-dependent neighborhood; ii. Tangible transit route suggestions; iii. Pedestrian and cycling facilities to encourage walking and cycling; iv. Provide carefully planned, safe, illuminated and convenient pedestrian walkways and sidewalks linking the building to bus stops and transit stations/ terminals; V. Where appropriate, adequate signage for pedestrians, including directions to nearest transit stops and terminals; and vi. High quality pedestrian amenities such as benches and garbage receptacles, where appropriate. vii. A TDM communication strategy, to assist the Region and the Township of King to effectively deliver the Information Packages and pre-loaded PRESTO Cards to residents. This strategy shall also include a physical location for distribution of the Information Packages and pre-loaded PRESTO Cards.
C. Comments on the Transportation/Traffic/Road Patterning Study
Transportation Planning No comments
Traffic Signal Operations I) Section 12 ofthe TPS report concludes that with the proposed development density increases on the subject lands, all the intersections are able to provide very good operating conditions with very acceptable levels ofservice and minimal vehicle delay in the future. However, our review indicates that this conclusion is not consistent with the analysis results illustrated in Figure 21. Particularly the Keele Street and King Road intersection operating at LOS 'F' and v/c ratio being significantly over 1.0. As such, clarification is required as to how the acceptable level of
f'a^e 2 oj 5
Planning Department Report Page 30 of 95 Number P-2018-13 servicewill be achievedand what infrastructure improvements are required to achieve the acceptable level ofservice.
2) Thestudy applies a horizon yearof 2031. However, it is notclearwhen the proposed development is to be fully built-out by 2031. The Study should include theanticipated build-out horizon.
3) Therearc somediscrepancies and errorsin the figures of the TPS report, suchas: a) Lane configurations shown in Figure 6 at the King Road and Keele Street intersection and if the incorrect lane configuration is used in the Synchroanalysis; and b) Posted speed limits in Figure6 including King Road, just cast of Keele Streetand Keele Street north of 1S''' Sideroad;
Theseerrorsand discrepancies shouldbe checked and the report be revised accordingly.

Future transit services will be implemented in a phased approach based on development, providing transportation opportunities in thisarea. Implementation of transit should beat an earlystage in the development in order to encourage a high modal split.
Transit Routing Standards Transit routes arc located so that 90% of all residences, employment, secondary and elementary schools,shopping centresand public facilities in an urban area are within a walking distance of no more than 500 metresof a bus stop duringdaytimeservice(from Monday to Saturday) and 1000 metres ofa bus stop for Sunday and holiday service. In lower density or rural areas, walking distances may be greater than 500 metres.
Roadway Considerations The following conditions are required for the study area:
1. Road Network - The street network shall form a grid network and have appropriate lighting and sidewalks/connections. Collector roads shall be continuous in order to permit the linking of several adjacent developments with direct transit routes. Strcctscaping shall be designed to encourage walking, cycling and transit use.
2. Roadways - Roads shall be designed to accommodate transit vehicles to the satisfaction ofthe area municipality and YRT/Viva. Transit-supportive roadways shall be designed with a
I'age 3 of5
Planning Department Report Page 31 of 95 Number P-2018-13 minimum pavement width of3.5 metres and a minimum curb radius of 15 metres. These standards are according to the Canadian Transit Handbook and the Ontario Urban Transit Association.
3. Sidewalks - Sidewalks are required on bothsides of roadways with transitservices unless only one side of the street lies within the limits ofthe subject lands. The sidewalks shall meet the local municipality'sstandards. Sidewalk plansshall considerthe pedestrian connections to transit stops. Concrete pedestrian accessconnections shall be seamless and at-grade(i.e. no steps).
4. Illumination - Illumination to be installed in accordance with the local municipality's design standards along all street[s] which have or will have transit services. Provide continuous lightingat pedestrian scale along sidewalk, bus stop locations and at pedestrian cross-walks (i.e. not exclusively illuminating the street).
5. On-Street Parking - On-strect parking along roadways with transit shall not interfere with bus stop locations and turning movements ofbuses.
6. TrafficCalming - YRT/Viva supports municipal introduction of well-planned traffic calming measures into the municipal landscape. It is, however, necessary to continue to provide bus services whilemaintaining a safe and comfortable environment for the general public, transit customers and busoperators. YRTA^'iva needsto ensurethat buses can negotiate traffic calming schemes in a satisfactory manner without damaging the buses.
7. YRTA^iva opposes the installation ofvertical traffic calming devices on roads with transit services. YRTA^iva acceptsthe installation of horizontal obstacles wheretheir design takesinto accountbus type used on that route, including their length, width, and turning radius.
Development 1. TransitOriented Development - Transitoriented development (TOD) is an approach to planning and design that recognizes the relationship between howwe grow and our ability to provide efficient and effective transitservices. The goalof TOD is to shapedevelopment in a way that responds to the needs oftransit users and the transit service itself.
2. To be a transitsupportive development, it requires a mix of land uses including higherdensity housing, business and commercial development. Mixed use and higher densities are encouraged along key arterial/collector roads where public transit will operate.
3. If there will be rear elevation lots along roads with transit then there needs to be walkway connections to these roads in order to reduce walking distance to transit. There need to be breaks in the fencing to allow pedestrian movement between the residential areas and streets that have transit services.
Transit Facilities Considerations The following transit facilities considerations are required:
1. Bus Stops and Passenger Standing Area - Bus stops are placed at most intersections, trip generators and transfer points with spacing ofapproximately 250 metres on roadways where transit will operate.
Page 4 of5
Planning Department Report Page 32 of 95 Number P-2018-13 2. Bus stops and the area leading to the stop should consist with Ontario Disability Act standards in order to provide universal access.
3. Sightlincs to traffic lights should be freeofinterference from posts and columns related to bus stop facilities.
4. Passenger standing areas/shelter pads identified shall be installed to the satisfaction ofthe local municipality and York Region Transit. The Region confirmsthat all passenger standing areas/shelter padsshall be ownedand maintained by the Regionand that the local municipality shall have no responsibility.
5. The passenger standing areas/shelter pads (as per YRT/Viva Accessibility Standards) shall be provided concurrentlywith constructionof necessary sidewalks and need to be incorporated into the urbanstreetscape, publicsidewalks and walkway connections to buildings.
6. The locations of the passenger standing areas and shelter pads will be determined during the plan ofsubdivision phase.

Mayor Steve Pellegrini and Members of Council Township of King 2075 King Road King City, Ontario L7B 1A1
Dear Mayor and Members of Council,
Re: Comment on King City East Landowners Group's Functional Servicing/Development Area Study ("FS/DAS")
We are the solicitors for 632025 Ontario Ltd., the owner of 13330 Dufferin Street, generally located on the west side of Dufferin Street, north of King Road, in King City. Our client submitted applications for a zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision in May 2017 and the applications were deemed complete in July 2017. Our client's lands are located within the area studied by the FS/DAS, although our client is not at this time a member of the King City East Landowner's Group {"KCELG") that prepared the FS/DAS.
We are writing to provide preliminary comments on the FS/DAS submitted by the KCELG. The FS/DAS is a requirement under section 10.3.2 of the King City Community Plan and requires a comprehensive study of the different quadrants of King City. This study's purpose is to address matters of stormwater management, water and sanitary servicing, transportation connections, trail connectivity, the design and layout of public open space, connections, integration and transition and the overall land use concept.
Early in the process, we were advised that the KCELG was undertaking the FS/DAS and that the Township encouraged coordination between our client and the KCELG. Throughout the process, the Township has indicated a requirement that the FS/DAS be a comprehensive document addressing all of the lands in the study area, including the non-participating landowners. Our client is in agreement with and supports the Township's requirement in this regard.
We have had two meetings with Malone Given Parson ("MGP") (the "KCELG Planner") and certain members of the KCELG in an effort to coordinate our development with theirs. These

meetings occurred on Friday. February 3"^, 2017 and Monday,July 24'", 2017. Our client provided their plans for their property to MGP in an effort to ensure the FS/DAS Is a comprehensive plan.
The FS/DAS shows our client's proposed lotting fabric on the east side of the watercourse, as submitted in their draft plan of subdivision application. We have no concern with this depiction, however, on the west side of the watercourse, no lotting or development Is shown as proposed on 13330 Dufferin Street and therefore, the development pattern shown in the FS/DAS landlocks the western portion of our client's lands. Since a bridge crossing of the watercourse connecting the east and west parts of our client's property would not likely be acceptable to the TRCA, our client's western part of the property must be integrated with the planning for the adjacent lands to the west. The landlocking of otherwise developable parcels does not constitute proper block planning nor proper land use planning. In addition, in our preliminary review of the FS/DAS, no accommodation appears to have been made for the servicing of 13330 Dufferin Street, or of the other non-participating owner's lands. Our client submits that these two matters should be addressed in the FS/DAS.
We will likely provide additional comments on the FS/DAS once we have done a detailed review of the copy provided to us by Township staff.
We respectfully request the Township's Involvement in facilitating coordination with the landowner's group.
Yours truly,
LOOPSTRA NIXON LLP

Planning Department Planning Report No. P-2018-14 RE: Public Meeting Draft Plan ofSubdivision 19T-17K01; Zoning By-law Amendment Z-2017-03 Subject Lands: 13330 Dufferin Street; Part ofLots 8, Cone. 3; King City Applicant/Owner: 632025 Ontario Ltd.
1. RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Department respectfully submits the following recommendations:
A. That Planning Report No. P-2018-14 be received;
B. That the applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision 19T-17K01 and Zoning By-law Amendment Z-2017-03, submitted by 632025 Ontario Ltd. to allow the residential development of the lands described as 13330 Dufferin Street, Part of Lot 8, Cone. 3, consisting of a range of lot sizes for 34 residential dwellings comprised of single detached units/lots fronting on to common element private roads, be received and referred back to staff together with all agency, applicant, Township departments, Council and public comments for a further report following the receipt of the same and completion of the Planning Department's review;
C. That Planning staff's review and consideration of the subject applications be carried out In conjunction and coordination with the FSDAS submitted by the King City East Landowners Group, FSDAS-2017-01, to ensure that common and related issues with respect to potential pedestrian connections, trails/paths, servicing connections and other similar development considerations have been appropriately addressed, and that the landowners be encouraged to cooperatively participate in this regard.
D. That staff continue to work and meet with the applicant to review and address the issues expressed by Council, the public, the applicant. Township departments and other public agencies and report back to Committee of the Whole.
2. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this report is to provide information with respect to the subject applications and the related public meeting. The subject applications propose to amend the Township's zoning by-law and seek approval for a related application for Draft Plan of Subdivision. More specifically, the subject applications propose to permit the development of 34 residential dwellings comprised of single detached units/lots fronting on to common element private roads.
A pre-consultation meeting with Township staff with respect to these applications was held and a pre-consultation meeting letter prepared by Township Planning staff, dated October 28, 2016 was provided to the applicant. The subject applications were initially received by the Township in May 2017. However, the review of the applications was held while Planning staff and the
Planning Department Report Page 38 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Planning Department Report P-2018-14 Page 2 applicant considered the need for the submission of a related Functional Servicing/Development Area Study (FSDAS). The applications were considered in terms of their relationship between the subject lands and the adjacent development lands (King City North East Landowners Group) and the scope of work which has been completed to address connections and common issues, i.e. FSDAS/Block Plan level analysis. The FSDAS prepared by the King City North East Landowners Group (KCELG) was submitted in late November 2017.
3. PROPOSAL
The subject applications have been submitted to the Township in accordance with sections 34 and 51 of the Planning Act and seek approval of a Draft Plan of Subdivision, and Zoning By-law Amendment. The subject applications propose to amend the Township's zoning by-law and seek approval for a related application for Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit the development of 34 residential dwellings comprised of single detached units/lots fronting on to common element private roads.
4. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The subject applications apply to the lands shown on Figure 1, and are located on the west side of Dufferin Street, north of King Road. The subject lands are currently used for agricultural purposes, and contain environmentaily sensitive areas and related buffers^egetation protection zones associated which runs through the central portion of the subject lands.
5. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS
Notice of the February 26, 2018 public meeting was mailed and circulated to the surrounding property owners, interested parties and agencies. In addition, the Township published a notice of application and public meeting in the local newspaper.
In accordance with the Township's protocol for draft plan of subdivision applications, the applicant hosted a public open house on November 6, 2017. While such an open house is not a statutory or mandatory requirement, the Township encourages such open houses in an effort to provide as much opportunity as possible for public input and participation and to enable the sharing of information.
At the time of the writing of this report. Planning staff has not received any public comments in response to the notice of the public meeting or in regard to the subject applications.
6. AGENCY COMMENTS
The application has been circulated to various external agencies and internal Township departments. At the time of the writing of this report, comments have not yet been received from all agencies, including the Region of York and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA).

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
7.1 King City Community Plan (KCCP)/Offlcial Plan Amendment 89 (OPA 89)
The subject lands are designated as "Low Density Residential 5 Area" and "Environmental Protection Area" by the KCCP.
Planning Department Report Page 40 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Planning Department Report P-2018-14 Page 4
The subject lands are located within the area addressed by OPA 89. OPA 89 amended the KCCP to, amongst other amendments, increase the permitted residential density within the Low Density Residential 5 Area (LOR 5) to an average gross density of 7 units per hectare (3 units per acre). Planning staff is currently reviewing the proposed development in relation to the broader development area within the LDR 5 area to ensure conformity with the permitted density. Planning staff also notes that the draft plan does not provide separate blocks and associated land area for the environmental buffers/vegetation protection zones. As a result, it is difficult to carry out density yield calculation for the subject lands since environmental features are to be excluded from the calculation but buffers are to be included. Planning staff will seek clarification from the applicant in this regard.
The Environmental Protection Area (EPA) designation applies to the environmentally sensitive areas on the subject lands, the boundaries of which have been established on site in consultation with the TRCA. It is important to note that the environmental buffers/minimum vegetation protection zone (MVPZ) component of the environmental areas are included within the EPA designation. In general, the KCCP policies, in accordance with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, require a minimum vegetation protection zone/buffer of 30 metres from the environmental features to be incorporated into the draft plan of subdivision and no development and/or lots are permitted to encroach into that buffer area. The draft plan of subdivision is not proposing reductions to these buffers, however. Planning staff has not yet received the comments of the TRCA. The TRCA's comments will assist staff in confirming the extent of the environmental boundaries within the draft plan and that they have been respected by the proposed development.
7.2 Comprehensive Development Pfan/FSDAS
Planning staff notes that the King City Community Plan and OPA 89 requires a Functional Servicing/Development Area Study (FSDAS) and Comprehensive Development Plan to be completed as a basis for the evaluation of the development of the subject lands. The purpose of the FS/DAS is to comprehensively coordinate and lay out the major components of the future new development amongst the various land ownerships within the study area. The FSDAS for the north-east quadrant of King City is currently underway and has been submitted by the King City East Landowners Group for submission to the Township for review and approval. Regard for and coordination between the proposed development and the FSDAS is required.
It is Planning staffs understanding that discussions and meetings between the applicant and the KCELG have taken place. However, to date, these efforts between the landowners have not led to a landowners' group arrangement and/or joint submission.
As a result, the development proposed by the subject applications and the King City East FSDAS are not coordinated and are inconsistent in terms of the development concept, lot fabric, and connectivity.
The FSDAS is required to be approved in advance of the approval of individual subdivision/ development applications. Planning staff has raised concerns with the applicant with respect to this requirement for the broader based FSDAS and lack of coordination with the subject applications. The FSDAS is to address the coordination of matters such as stormwater management, water and sanitary servicing, transportation connections, trail connectivity, the design and layout of public open space, connections, integration and transition between the subject lands and neighbouring future and existing residential lands, and the overall land use
Planning Department Report Page 41 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Planning Department Report P-2018-14 Page 5 concept in this area, particularly in accordance with the policies of Official Plan Amendment No.89 (CPA 89) which provide for the permitted densities to be considered in terms of an average for the broader area to which CPA 89 applies.
Itis Planning staff's opinion that the review of the subject applications would benefitsignificantly from cooperation between the landowners within the broader FSDAS process in order to most effectively and efficiently provide for the development with respect to coordination of external services and other matters. Planning staff has and will continue to encourgage cooperation between these land owners.
7.3 Region of York Official Plan and Provincial Policy/Plans
The proposed development area is designated "Towns and Villages" by the York Region Official Plan (2010), and are within the "Settlement Area" designation as per the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. These designations defer to the local official plan (KCCP/OPA 89) with respect to guiding proposed development.
The Province's "Places to Grow" Plan promotes intensification and sets specific targets for residential intensification. It should be noted that the targets set by the Growth Plan are to be considered in a broader community and regional context. The Growth Plan recognizes that one size does not fit all and that municipalities are to develop their own policies and phasing strategies to achieve the targets in a manner that respects and compliments the community's character.
The subject lands are also located within the Greenbelt area. However, they are located within a designated settlement area of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) and, therefore, not subject to the Greenbelt Plan, but rather are to be govemed by the King City Community Plan and the ORMCP. The subject lands are also designated "settlement" by the ORMCP and, therefore, their development for residential purposes, in accordance with the King City Community Plan is permitted. The applications are currently under review by both the Township and the TRCA with respect to the detailed requirements of the ORMCP.
7.4 Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment
The subject applications include the submission of a draft plan of subdivision which identifies the layout of the residential development which would be enabled by the zoning by-law amendment. The more detailed review associated with the draft plan process remains on going, however, the following generally identifies matters noted to date:
The lot fabric proposed by the draft plan of subdivision is not consistent or coordinated with the lot fabric proposed for the adjacent lands to the west. Further coordination is required, particularly in regard to servicing connections;
The draft plan proposes to obtain sanitary servicing by way of an easement and connection to the proposed development on the external lands to the west. Further coordination with respect to the alignment and overall phasing and timing of the respective developments is required.
The drat plan includes lots with reverse frontage on Dufferin Street. The policies of the KCCP prohibit reverse frontage lotting. Revisions to the draft plan will be required.
Planning Department Report Page 42 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Planning Department Report P-2018-14 Page 6
Generally, Planning staff notes that the proposed development concept of single detached homes/lots is constrained by the overall size, layout, and location of environmental features of the subject lands, which has resulted in a proposed common element road being proposed due to its smaller road allowance dimensions. The challenges faced by the subject lands suggest that alternative development concepts for the subject lands may be appropriate. Planning staff notes that OPA 89 permits other residential forms in addition to single detached dwellings, including "townhouses, semi-detached dwellings or other similar dwelling types, with a maximum height of three storeys, and seniors housing development, with a maximum height of three storeys";
Planning staffs review of the draft zoning by-law and proposed development standards is on-going and staff will report back to Committee in more detaii in this regard in the subsequent recommendation report.
8. INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY PLAN LINKAGE
Further analysis in regard to the Township's Sustainability Plan will be addressed in the subsequent recommendation report from Planning staff to Committee on this matter.
9. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The required application fee has been submitted. In addition, any external costs (peer-review architect, legal, engineering, etc.) incurred by the Township through the processing and review of this application will be recovered from the applicant in accordance with the Township's standard practice and owner's acknowledgement through the application form. Security deposits, ievies, development charges, and cash-in-lieu of parkland, if required, wili be collected at later stages in the development review process. Further financial implications, if any, will be assessed as the review proceeds.
10. CONCLUSION
The review of the applications remain on-going by the Planning Department and other Township Departments and external agencies. Planning staff requires further opportunity to continue to review the applications, provide comments, and work with the applicant to review and address the various issues raised in this report as well as by the public and Council. In addition, comments have not yet been received from all agencies. As the review proceeds. Planning staff will report back to Committee of the Whole with respect to a decision on the application. It is recommended that this report be received and that the applications be referred back to staff, together with any public and Council comments, for a future report. Planning staff, in consultation with the various commenting agencies and departments, will be working with the applicant to continue to identify and address any comments and the various other matters highlighted by this report.

Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan, prepared May 2017 Dec. 22, 2017 by Savanta Inc. This site is located on the west side of Dufferin Street between King Road and 15^*^ Sideroad. The lands are withinthe King City East (Official Plan) area, but are not participants in the associated landowners group. The subject applications propose to amend the Township's zoning by-lawand seek approval for a related application for DraftPlan of Subdivision to permit the development of 34 residential dwellings (comprised of single detached units/lots fronting on to common element private roads). The lots are all detached dwellings but the roads and services are proposed as private, common elements for purposes of this development. We provide the general observation that much of the material providedfor this application assumes a connectivity with the development of the King Rocks site. Infact, at this time the plans are not congruent (given that the layouts are very different). Itis difficult to provide a meaningful review and detailed comments on the application, given the apparent lack of coordination. Accordingly, some of the comments provided are quite general in nature. Our comments based on a review of the current submission materials are as follows; General Comments 1.1 The plans for the westerlysection ofthe plan do not coincidewith plans provided through the King City East LandownersGroup. Therefore, we cannot support the layout shown. Itwould be preferable to obtain an acknowledgement from King Rocks regarding the integration of the proposed development plans. 1.2 itappears all roads and services are being contemplated as private services, internal to the site. Itshould be confirmed that the Township will not be responsible for said Planning Department Report Page 58 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Mr. Gaspare Ritacca Page3 of6 January 26,2018 Project No.: 300042067.0000 services, and that appropriate demarcation points will be determined at the limitsof the site. (Requires valve chambers and backflowprevention.) 1.3 The servicing options indicatedfor all services (storm, water and sanitary) are premised on connectivity of portions or all the services through the King Rocks lands. Atthis time, the King Rocks site is proposed as a privately held development. It is not deemed appropriate to located municipal works withinthese private lands. Therefore, an agreement should be arranged between the two distinct ownerships for the provision of, and ongoing maintenance of, the affected services. 1.4 Draft Plan - see attached red-lined plan: a. it is recommended that the northerly leg of the Condo Road be terminated with a cul-de-sac, with possible emergency access only to Dufferin. b. Ifthe valley lands are transferred to the Township, and ifthe stormwater controls are permitted to intrude into the buffer areas, then an easement should be placed to give access to the Condo for future maintenance of these private facilities. c. Documentation should be provided indicating the ownership/rights regarding the right-of-wayalong the north limit of the site. It is desirable to utilize this existing access as an emergency access route for the future development of the King Rocks lands and to provide a secondary watermain connection, (see 1.16) d. The lands at the west side cannot be subdivided pending the approval of the site for the lands west of the development. (It is expected these may be in the form of a privately held condominium concept with a common roadway, not detached lots.) The lands should be indicated as blocks for purposed of this Draft Plan approval (subject to concurrence from Planning staff). e. The site will require a buffer block along Dufferin Street frontage to accommodate a noise barrier, ifthey are to be Installed as proposed. Environmental Report(s), Natural Environment, Tree Inventory 1.5 The Township should confirm ifproposed compensation is satisfactory regarding tree removals. The Savanta report notes there are 46 "candidate compensation trees" to be removed. Said compensation should be quantified by a Landscape Architect or Arborist priorto final approval. (Note - we did not reviewthis report forfurther commentary and would defer this to the Township's arborist.) Preliminary Environmental Noise Report (Kristlna Zeromsklene, Ph.D.) 1.6 See attached comments from Kristlna Zeromsklene. We note the proposal requires excessively high barriers (over 3 metres) to mitigate the noise impacts on the rear yard amenity areas for the proposed lots. This would not complywith Township or Region standards. Planning Department Report Page 59 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Mr. Gaspare Ritacca Page4 of5 January 26,2018 Project No.: 300042067.0000 Geotechnical and Hydrogeology Investigations/Reports 1.7 The geotechnical report appears to be generally acceptable, however, there Is no discussion of the requirements pertaining to deep services (sewers, etc). This should be addressed prior to final approval. 1.8 See attached comments from Kim Hawkes. Phase One Envlronmenfal Site Assessment 1.9 No issues were identified by the consultant that require further investigation. We have no further comment. Transportation Impact Assessment (Henry Centen, P.Eng. and Cody Raposo, EIT) 1.10 Comments are required from York Region regarding the two intersection points on Dufferin Street. We note the northerly access is proposed as with right-in/right-out only movements. It is preferable to close this access and present the road as a cul-de-sac. 1.11 The proponent will be required to coordinate for the provision of sidewalks along the frontage of the site (in conjunction with all sidewalks for King City East area). 1.12 See attached comments from Henry Centen. Servicing 1.13 The proposed sanitary system includes a private collection and pumping system which directs wastewater to the west. This system would extend through private (King Rocks) lands. The system would not reach a municipal road allowance for approx. 700 m. We suggest the proponent should also explore alternatives such as a connection to the south which would be shorter. (Tatton Court is approximately 500 m south, which is not noted in Section 5.1.) The report should indicate all alternatives and Justifythe selected solution. 1.14 Stormwater quality is proposed to be addressed through various Low Impact Development (LID) techniques. The FSR contains only general references to the various techniques that may be utilized. The report should contain specific details regarding the use and location of LID features. 1.15 Stormwater Management (comments from Harold Faulkner) a. The eastern naturalized SWM facility is proposed to "leak" through the berm to eliminate concentrated discharge, however, this outlet may not provide the required controlied release rate. The outlet configuration is to be revised to provide a quantifiable release rate. b. Groundwater and soil may not provide reiiable infiltration conditions. Infiltration storage should not be considered part of the quantity controlvolume. Planning Department Report Page 60 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Mr. Gaspare Ritacca Page 5 of5 January 26, 2018 Project No.: 300042067.0000 c. The reportshould contain specific details regarding the quantity control of the run-off from the rear lots ofthe westerly block. Alternatively, overcontrol may be provided in the eastern development to off-set the additional flow from the westerly rear lots. d. Stormwater managementforthe western portion of development is proposed to be providedwithin the adjacent King Rocks development, however, this is not consistent withthe current King CityEast Functional FS/DAS. Similarly, western external drainage is assumed to drain west, whichmay not be part ofthe King Rocks plan. Further co-ordination with the King CityEast development is required. e. Encroachment intothe wetlandand fioodiine setbacks are subject to approval bythe TRCA. Miscellaneous 1.16 The lots on the west side of the watercourse, includingthe adjacent King Rocks site, would benefit from the provision of an emergency access route in the event of a problem on the proposed access road. We recommend the solution Includes a linkalong the existing farm lane located at the north side of the subject lands. The access route could also be utilized for the provision of a secondary watermain connection. This matter requires further review and coordination with the King City East Landowners Group. We do not support approval of this Draft Plan application pending further review of the transportation and servicing issues as outlined above.

From: Kristina Zeromskiene, Ph.D. A Noise Feasibility Study for a proposed Residential Development at 13330 Dufferin Street, King City prepared by HOC Engineering, dated May 10, 2017, was reviewed as part of the Draft Plan of Subdivision application process for this development. The numbered comments are summarized below. The assessment was performed following Ministryof the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) publication NPC-300'' as appropriate. Sound levels were predicted using prediction method for road traffic noise ORNAMENT as recommended by MOECC and compared to the applicable criteria. Several items, as noted below, require further clarification. 1. The Noise Feasibility Study recommends acoustic barriers for several lots along the Dufferin Street. The recommended barriers heights vary from 3.2 m to 5.7 m. These acoustic barriers are expected to reduce sound levels to the required levels between 55 dBA and 60 dBA. Dufferin Street is a regional road and according to York Region SOP's for Traffic Noise Mitigation on Regional Roads^, "The Commissioner of Transportation Services can approve noise attenuation barrierfences up to a maximum height ofup to 3.0 meters in situations where deemed appropriate and where approved by the iocai municipaiity." Please confirm whether there was any communication with the Region, considering the recommended barrier height along this road is above 3 m. 2. Please confirm whether proposed site grading was used in the acoustic barrier assessments. ^ MOECC (2013) Environmental Noise Guideline, Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning (Publication NPC-300). 2Transportation Services - York Region (2010) Capital Delivery- Roads.

Planning Department Report Page 62 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Memorandum Page 2of 2 300042067.0000 January 19,2018 Basedon the provided sample model printout, an absorptive ground surface option was utilized in the calculations. Consideringthe distance between the source and receiver and the future width of the road, it looks like more than 50% of the area between the receiver and the centre line of the northbound lane will be road surface which is considered to be reflective. According to the Technical documentfor ORNAMENT^, If more than half of the ground surface between the centre line of the traffic lanes under consideration and the point of reception is sound reflective, the ground absorption coefficient is assumed to be zero. Please justify using an absorptiveground surface or revise calculations. Two different speed limits were used at the same location for northbound (60 km/h) and southbound (70 km/h) traffic. Please confirm that speed limit is different in both directions and is expected to stay that way in the future. The acoustical performance of the building components should be confirmed once detailed floor plans are available as recommended in the report.

Section 1 of this memorandum outlines the general site conditions and reported study findings while Section 2 provides comments on the report as it relates to this draft plan of subdivision application submission. 1.0 Summary of Reported Site Conditions 1. The Site is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine and is part of a settlement area [King City]. 2. The surficial soil is primarily comprised of fine textured glaciolacustrine-derived deposits (Halton Till) of silt and clay. Alluvial deposits are present in the iow-lying areas/creek valley. 3. In-situ hydraulic conductivity testing in the on-Site monitoring wells confirms that the soils are moderate to low permeability with Kvalues inthe order of 10"® to 10"^ m/s for the sandy siltat BH3 and 10"® m/s for the sand at BH6. 4. Groundwater at the Site follows surface topography with flowtowards Eaton Hall Creek with an overall SE component towards the East Number River. 5. The water table is inferred to be 1.8 m to 4.6 m below ground surface based on soil moisture and groundwater conditions encountered during drilling. 6. Water level measurements in the monitoring wells are recorded at 0.12 m (BH4) to 1.93 (BH3) In the borehole logs.The consultantsuggests that the water levelsin the wells Planning Department Report Page 64 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Technical Memorandum Page 2 of 4 Project No.; 300042067 January 23,2018 reflectthe potentlometricsurface forthe underlying sand deposits with water levels closer to ground surface than the water table. 7. The development will be fully serviced therefore potential Impactson nearby water supply wells are limited to those beyond the serviced areas of King City. The well records are summarized in Appendix E of the report. 8. The Site is not within a known municipal wellhead protection area. 9. Water Balance findings: a) The water balance was completed using the Thornthwalte Method. The overall approach is reasonable. b) The post development water balance demonstrates a high loss of infiltration with development. In developed portions of the site, pre development infiltration is reduced by half post development if no mitigation strategies are implemented. c) The mitigation strategies, proposed to compensate for the infiltration losses, rely on diversion of roof water to pervious areas to enhance infiltration. Other low-impact development strategies will reportedly be presented at the detailed design stage. d) Evaporation from impervious areas was assumed to be 20% of precipitation. e) The Infiltrationfactors increase from predevelopment to post development without mitigation then increase again with post development mitigation as shown below. Scenario Infiltration coefficients (1 factor) East Block West Block Natural Heritage Pre Development 0.5 0.45 0.6 (Table G.2) Post Development 0.55 0.5 0.65 (No Mitigation) (Table G.3) Post Development 0.6 0.55 0.65 (With Mitigation) (Table G.4) Change in 1factor +0.1 +0.1 +0.05 Planning Department Report Page 65 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Technical Memorandum Page3 of4 Project No.: 300042067 January 23, 2018 2.0 Burnside Comments 1. The general description and interpretation of site conditions is reasonable. There are hydrogeological constraints that will make it difficult to maintain pre-development (existing) infiltration. The proponent must demonstrate that all reasonable efforts are made to maintain Infiltration and that the proposed techniques be implemented in a manner that best suits site specific conditions. 2. Due to the reliance on LID (low impact development) techniques to achieve a post- development infiltration water balance, including collection of roof water, infiltration trenches and swales, the applicant must demonstrate that these techniques are feasible given the soil and groundwater conditions in the proposed locations of these features. The soil conditions, final grade elevation, base of feature elevation and seasonal high groundwater elevation must be determined. The potential infiltration capability of each feature must be estimated. 3. Information is required for any long term groundwater control as proposed around buildings and basements that will generate additional flow into the storm water system. Groundwater contributions into the storm water system must be based on the expected basement elevations compared to the seasonal high groundwater elevations to estimate the volumes of groundwater to be drained or pumped away from the buildings. 4. There are a few minor discrepancies/errors/omissions in the report that must be updated/corrected: a) The borehole logs are not included for the Terraprobe wells shown in the figures; b) Monitoring well GLL-4was drilled on this property in 2005 for the NE King application. It is not included in the interpretation; c) The report does not include geological cross sections; d) There are discrepancies between the information provided in the King City East development's FSDAS report and that provided in this report (e.g. monitoring wells and road network, shallow water level interpretations). The servicing and layout for this application needs to correspond with the Functional Servicing Report for the entire Northeast Quadrant of King City. e) The report does not provide a clear interpretation of groundwater-surface water interaction. Geological cross-sections and piezometers installed at key locations along Eaton Creek, equipped with transducers, would assist in this regard; f) The water levels were only provided for February. Water levels for the Spring period are not included. Planning Department Report Page 66 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Technical Memorandum Page4 of4 Project No.: 300042067 January 23,2018 g) Ifthe water levels in the monitoring wells are Interpreted to reflect potentiometric surfaces for confined sands (as suggested by the consultant) then shallow monitoring wells/piezometers should be installed to confirm that the water table is no present in the overlying shallow soils. h) A rationale for changing the infiltration factors between scenarios (refer to the summary table in Section 1) is needed, especially for areas where the Site is assumed to remain unchanged with development; i) Additional detail is required to demonstrate how pre-development infiltration will be maintained. j) The report must address potential impacts on nearby water supply wells.

From: Henry Centen, P. Eng. This memorandum provides our comments on the following documentation: • Traffic Brief, 13330 Dufferin Street, Township of King; dated May 2017; prepared by C.F. Crozier & Associates Ltd. The Traffic Brief (TB) proposes two access roads off Dufferin Street (i.e., one full moves and one right-in/right-out) to serve twenty-five (25) condominium units on the east part of the site. It also proposes that nine (9) condominium units on the west part of the site be accessed via a road connection in the adjacent proposed King Rocks development. The TB forecasts that the proposed accesses will provide acceptable traffic operations, with no northbound left turn lane being required. In addition, the existing access to the Country Day School will have sufficient capacity, although egress movements in the a.m. peak hour will have long delays. Burnside Comments: 1. Comments are required from York Region. 2. Attachments to the TB indicate that the Region had concerns over having direct access to Dufferin Street. The TB notes that a road connection to the north is constrained by a wetland buffer in that area. No information is provided on this constraint, or on potential development plans on the lands to the north. However, a recent presentation by the King City East (KCE) development group shows a potential future signalized intersection at the Country Day School driveway, which would be a logical connection to these adjacent development lands. Further review of the proposed access roads to Dufferin Street is required and on the potential for better integration with adjacent developments. Ifa connection is not possible to the lands to the north, then consideration should be given to providing a single access to Dufferin Street. Planning Department Report Page 68 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Memorandum Page 2of3 300042067.0000 January 18,2017 3. The KCE development group has proposed a configuration of roads, sidewalks, trails and multi-use paths on the broader lands inthis area. Also, the Country Day School may warrant improved pedestrian crossing facilities on Dufferin Street, to connect to the development lands on the west side ofthis road. Furtherreview of the integration of the subject development to the KCE lands and/or the Country Day School is required. Also since part of the subject development relies on servicing through the King Rocks development, the viability of that development (I.e., long cul-de-sac servicing a relatively high number of units), needs to be established. 4. Awidening is proposed along the Dufferin Street frontage. The timing/responsibility for sidewalks on Dufferin Street should be confirmed. 5. Access to public transit is located about 0.9 km to 1.0 km from the site. The potential for modification to transit routes should be identified. 6. A single lane egress is proposed for the south access to Dufferin Street. Consideration should be given to providing separate right tum and left turn egress lanes. 7. It is forecasted that the south access to the Country Day School will have poor operations (LOS F, 80 second delay). The analysis also assumes two-stage entry from this driveway onto the central median area, which is not desirable from an operational perspective. Considering the nature of this facility (i.e. 760 students, 350 seat performing arts theatre, recent (2016) 51,000 sq.ft. addition), it is likelythat signals may be required at this location. A recent request by the Country Day School to have this intersection signalized was supported by King Township Council, however we are not aware of the Region's decision on this matter. The TB should review the possibility that this intersection will be signalized. 8. The TB applies the Region's criteria for access spacing on Dufferin Street based on the minimum spacing between minor driveways (Access Guidelines for Regional Roads, Region of York, 2007). Considering that the accesses to the proposed development are via condominium roads and that the County Day School access has 460 vph In the peak hour, we suggest that the spacing criteria between maior accesses should apply (i.e., minimum 200 metres). Consideration should be given to eliminating the second access to the development site to achieve better access management on Dufferin Street. 9. The TB suggests that the low left turn percentage (1.8%) is not sufficient to trigger the use of the MTO left turn warrant chart to determine whether a left turn lane is required on Dufferin Street, at the development's south access. Consideration of the applicability of the warrant charts should also consider the overall traffic volumes on Dufferin Street, and not just the relative percentages of left turn movements in the advancing traffic Planning Department Report Page 69 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Memorandum Page3 of3 300042067.0000 January 18, 2017 Stream.The IB forecasts that the a.m. peak houropposing traffic is 1119 vph at the site access, which indicates a high levelof utilization of the existing southbound lane and few gaps for achieving a northbound left turn movement intothe site. With the proposed development of the broader KCE lands, these opposing traffic volumes are expected to increase significantly. Considering that the runout lane for the southbound left turn lane at the Country Day School drivewayterminates In the vicinity of the proposed access to the subject development, further consideration should be given to providing a northbound left turn lane at the proposed access. The widening to accommodate the left tum lane at the subject access would be maintained between this access and the Country Day School access. 10. The TB forecasts traffic conditions in horizon year 2017 only. As required by the Region's Transportation Mobility Plan Guidelines for Development Applications (2016), traffic conditions in additional horizon years should also be reviewed, including build-out year and 5 years after build-out. 11. The draft plan proposes a 7.9 metre road, within an 11.9 metre condominium road right- of-way (ROW). The TB should provide cross sections that confirm that this road and ROW can meet the Town's servicing requirements, including access for all travel modes, parking etc. HBC: 042067_TrafRc Revi8W_1st Sub_Revi8W.docx 1/18/2018 10:26 AM Planning Department Report Page 70 of 95 Number P-2018-14 Natural Heritage System i i ' "J! •mner's Cerlificale Surveyor's Certificate Sdiedule of Laitd Use i "desisiPTiCN Natural Heritage SyEtem Planning Department Report Page 71 of 95 Number P-2018-14 THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF KING COUNCIL MEETING #4 – MINUTES (DRAFT) MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2018 Township Council met at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Township of King Municipal Building, 2075 King Road, King City, with Mayor Pellegrini presiding.
