During Mr. DiGiuseppe’s presentation he opined that the application was following appropriate process and met the four (4) tests to be considered under the Planning Act. Mr. DiGiuseppe provided examples of similar businesses that also utilize valet parking and provide less parking onsite. He reviewed the parking justification provided by NextTrans and opined that the requested parking deficiency could be accommodated using available street parking, municipal parking lots, the Library and the Kleinburg Public School. He reviewed the City of Vaughan Cash-in-Lieu (CIL) of Parking By-law, explained applicable CIL rates. He noted that he supports the condition relating to CIL provided that the condition requiring the registered agreement (with respect to shared parking) be removed. He advised that shared parking arrangements with the adjacent property (10477 Islington Avenue) have been discussed with Development Engineering staff. While the abutting land owner supports the shared parking arrangement, an agreement registered on title is not supported by the parties involved, therefore cannot be satisfied as a condition of approval. In response to Member Perrella, Mr. DiGuiseppe explained available parking hours for the library and school. Member Perrella commented that she visited the site and many signs in the area note “private property” and do not allow public parking. In response to Member Perrella, Mr. DiGuiseppe explained that the abutting property, 10477 Islington Avenue, is currently used as a fitness studio during the day/week. He noted that the site is empty during week nights. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the fitness studio is used mid- morning to approximately 5:00 p.m. and is also used on an appointment basis for personal training. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the peak hours of the proposed COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018

restaurant have been identified as Thursday – Saturday after 7:00 p.m. Member Perrella commented that the Kleinburg area has changed significantly since the 2010 studies and reports provided. She reviewed previous approvals in area and opined that at some point parking in the area will not be available. In response to Member Perrella, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the parking situation has always existed and that the Heritage Study for the area was competed in 2001. Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the approved removal/relocation of parking bollards will result in 10 additional parking spaces on the street. In response to Member Perrella, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the Official Plan outlines CIL requirements. While the applicant is agreeable to pay CIL, he reiterated that an agreement cannot be registered on title. In response to Member Perrella, Christopher Cosentino, Planner, advised that staff do not have the information available to determine if adequate parking exists at 10477 Islington Avenue. Member Perrella expressed concerns that the nature of the business at 10477 Islington Avenue may change and be unable to support a shared parking arrangement in future. In response to Member Perrella, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that shared parking with the abutting property is not required. He opined that sufficient parking to support the proposal can be obtained on the street, library and school. In response to Chairman Cesario, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the farthest distance customers may have to travel (walk) from the Kleinburg School is approximately 600 feet. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that valet parking could be provided, as indicated in the parking study. He noted that valet parking could be done everywhere, without the use of registered agreements. In response to Member Perrella, Mr. DiGuiseppe opined that adequate valet parking is available. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that many properties in the area are deficient in parking and do not have shared parking agreements registered on title. He noted that registered agreements limit property owners in future if they cannot be released from the agreement. He advised that the applicant has been utilizing valet parking and has had a parking agreement (not registered) with abutting owners since the approval of the previous minor variance in 2015. Richard Lorello, 235 Treelawn Blvd, commented that residents want a comprehensive solution to resolve parking deficiencies in the area. He advised that similar applications have been refused by Council though other development application processes and questioned why the application was before the Committee of Adjustment. He expressed concern with establishing precedent in the area. In response to Mr. Lorello, Member Mauti advised that the previous application before Council required an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and that the Committee is not aware of the details. She noted that the Committee of Adjustment has supported parking variances in the past. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. Lorello advised that the parking deficiencies were similar for both applications and both have same By-law requirements. He noted that the Kleinburg Area Ratepayers Association (KARA) has requested a comprehensive parking solution for the Kleinburg Area and until a solution is in place no further parking reductions should be considered. In response to Chairman Cesario, Andrew Pearce, Director of Development Engineering, advised that the parking justification, as provided by NextTrans, was reviewed based on the Zoning By-law and the IBI standards. He explained the IBI parking requirements with respect to the proposal and noted that while the Zoning By-law does not include the mezzanine as part of the parking calculation, the IBI standards have been applied to the mezzanine floor area to accommodate the proposed restaurant tables/patrons. He explained available parking onsite and CIL requirement (7 spaces) and noted that street parking can also be utilized. He advised that a parking study to address potential opportunities and strategies in the downtown Kleinburg area is being reviewed for 2019. Mr. Lorello reiterated that the comprehensive parking study should be completed first.

COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018

Patty Hayes, 15 Valley Ridge Lane, Hamilton, consultant for the Kleinburg Business Improvement Area (KBIA), advised that the KBIA has requested that the City of Vaughan find a parking solution for the area. She advised that approval for the removal of the 10 bollards took approximately three (3) years to obtain. She expressed concerns regarding the cumulative effect of development on parking and the health of the downtown area. She opined that people will not want to walk or utilize offsite parking and valet parking is not a solution. She advised that businesses are losing customers due to parking shortages and there are no alternative transportation methods available. Silvio DeGasperis, 43 Cowan Drive, commented that there is always parking in the area, both on street and valet. Maria Pizzitola, 21 Kellam Street, reviewed the petition of support provided by Mr. DiGuiseppe and advised that she was not consulted to participate. She commented that while she does not oppose new development the parking crisis must be resolved before a decision is made. Pasquale Perrelli, 284 Barron Avenue, commented that there is available parking during the day, from the morning until approximately 5:00 p.m. He opined that parking issues are created at night by Starbucks. He owns a clothing store at 10489 Islington Avenue and has been in the area 13 – 14 years. Francesco Filipo, 21 Kellam Street, advised that he runs a local business in the area. He noted that more than one business uses the school for overflow parking, which he has witnessed while attending his son’s soccer game. Many homes have been built in the area creating more traffic in the downtown core. He noted that parking is available in the morning, however 7:00 p.m. is when parking becomes an issue. He opined that the application is compounded by other site development in the area and shared parking should not be used as a solution. He expressed concern regarding people parking on his property at night and safety issues when asking them to leave or having to call the police to resolve the situation. He noted that the parking issues impact local businesses. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. Filipo advised that he has resided in Kleinburg since 2015 and was aware of the Starbucks when he moved to the area. Ms. Pizzitola advised that many changes have occurred since 2015. She explained the rate of local residential growth and noted that Kleinburg is a tourist area that cannot rely on shared parking. If reliance is going to be placed on shared parking, an agreement needs to be registered on title. She also expressed concerns with respect to setting precedent. John Cutler, on behalf of Kleinburg Area Ratepayers Association (KARA) advised that he has lived in area for 25 years and the parking situation has become considerably worse than it was 3 – 10 years ago. KARA is supportive of business development, however they have concerns with respect to the proposed parking. Regardless of the parking standard used, shared parking is not a tangible solution unless an agreement is in place. He noted that CIL contributions have not generated any new parking spaces and the variances are not supported by KARA. In response to Member Zheng, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that the abutting property owner is not willing to register an agreement on title with respect to parking. He noted that there is a current parking deficiency on the property and a registered agreement would impact future development. He advised that use of the abutting property for parking is a secondary measure, to be used after available street and offsite parking. Member Perrella opined that the application is not minor and noted that recommended support is conditional on an agreement being registered on title. Member Mauti reviewed previous decisions by the Committee and noted that agreements were not required. In response to Member Mauti, Mr. Pearce advised that agreements have been used in the past (i.e. Canadiana development). He advised that a verbal agreement may create a situation whereby the proposed business is left with an inadequate parking supply. In response to Chairman Cesario, Mr. Pearce advised that there may be other parking solutions available if applicant cannot enter into an agreement. In response to Chairman Cesario, Mr. DiGuiseppe advised that he would be willing to work with staff to assess available parking, however an agreement with respect to shared parking cannot be supported. He noted that a parking study of the area could take years and it would be unfair for his client to wait. COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018
