A&F Greenfield Homes Ltd. propose to construct a 16-unit residential apartment building geared towards seniors independent living. The purpose of this Parking Justification Report is to determine an appropriate supply to accommodate anticipated parking demand at the proposed development, based upon the zoning by-law requirements, parking demand patterns at comparable developments in Kitchener, and the sustainable transportation network in the area. The traffic impacts of the proposed development on Pinnacle Drive are also briefly discussed. We note that the City of Kitchener did not require a formal Transportation Impact Study for the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment or Site Plan application given the small-scale nature of the development and limited number of residential uses. 2 Project Understanding 86 Pinnacle Drive is located in the Doon South neighbourhood of the City of Kitchener. The property is located on the east side of Pinnacle Drive, approximately 100 metres north of Doon Valley Drive. The area surrounding the development consists primarily of residential uses, with the Conestoga College Doon Campus being located to the east. The location of the proposed development is illustrated in Exhibit 2-1. Exhibit 2-1: Development Location Proposed Development ↑ N Base Map Source: City of Kitchener. Retrieved February 22, 2019 from: https://map.kitchener.ca/OnPointExt/WebPages/Map/FundyViewer.aspx February 27, 2019 2 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT PARKING JUSTIFICATION REPORT – 86 PINNACLE DRIVE, KITCHENER Prepared for A&F Greenfield Homes Ltd. Presently, the property contains a single detached residential dwelling. A&F Greenfield Homes Ltd. are proposing to replace the existing dwelling with a 2-storey, 16-unit residential apartment building geared towards seniors independent living. 23 total parking spaces are proposed to satisfy the parking needs of both residents and visitors. The proposed Site Plan for the development is illustrated in Exhibit 2-2. Exhibit 2-2: Proposed Development of Project Site 3 Zoning By-law Requirements The property is presently governed by the City of Kitchener Zoning By-law 85-1 (ZBL 85-1), which specifies that multiple dwellings totalling 13 to 60 dwelling units must supply 1.75 parking spaces for each dwelling unit. As 16 units and 23 parking spaces are proposed, the parking requirement would be 28 spaces (15% of which are required to be for visitors). This results in a ZBL deficit of 5 parking spaces. Though not in effect, the April 2018 final draft of the proposed Kitchener Zoning By-law specifies a requirement of 1.0 resident parking spaces for each dwelling unit, plus 0.10 visitor parking spaces for each dwelling unit. Were these policies to apply, the parking requirement would be 18 spaces and the development would comply with the ZBL. As the proposed zoning by-law is designed to better reflect the goals and objectives of the Official Plan, this suggests that complying with the existing zoning would undermine Kitchener’s built form and sustainability goals. A summary of the parking requirements, proposed supply, and surplus / deficiency is presented in Exhibit 3-1.

This location was chosen due to similar intended occupants (seniors living independently), similar urban contexts, and similar access to sustainable transportation options. This location was also chosen as the residence is known to be fully occupied. On-site parking occupancy was observed on Thursday, January 31, 2019, and Saturday, February 2, 2019, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Observations were collected every 30 minutes, and the observed occupancy was converted to a utilization rate per dwelling unit for comparison purposes. The key findings of the surveys are shown in Exhibit 4-1. February 27, 2019 4 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT PARKING JUSTIFICATION REPORT – 86 PINNACLE DRIVE, KITCHENER Prepared for A&F Greenfield Homes Ltd. Exhibit 4-1: Weekday Parking Utilization Parking Utilization - 278 Carwood Avenue, Kitchener 2.00 ZBL 85-1 parking requirement = 1.75 spaces per dwelling unit 1.80 1.60 Proposed parking supply = 1.44 spaces per dwelling unit 1.40 Peak parking utilization = 1.20 0.48 spaces per dwelling unit 1.00 0.80 0.60 0.40 0.20 0.00 Parking Utilization (Spaces per Dwelling per (Spaces Dwelling Unit) Utilization Parking Time of Day Weekday Parking Utilization Weekend Parking Utilization Proposed Parking Supply ZBL 85-1 Parking Requirement As shown in Exhibit 4-1, peak parking utilization was 0.48 parking spaces per dwelling unit, and occurred at 5:00 p.m. on the weekday, and at 11:30 a.m. on the weekend. Trends over the course of the day are consistent with the demographics of the proxy site, as seniors are less likely to be in full time employment, and more likely to see visitors during the daytime. The observed peak parking utilization is significantly lower than the 1.75 parking spaces per dwelling unit ZBL rate, and lower than the 1.44 parking spaces per dwelling unit rate proposed at the development. At this level of demand, only 8 parking spaces would be occupied at the proposed development. This suggests that the proposed parking supply is sufficient to accommodate anticipated parking demand. 5 Development Area Transportation Network The development is located approximately 100 metres walking distance from the Pinnacle / Doon Valley bus stop, which is served by Grand River Transit (GRT) route 10 – Pioneer. This route operates every 30 minutes on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

  • Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021
    Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021 C2015-16 September 22 2015 March 2018 Dear Friends, Since Grand River Transit (GRT) was established in January 2000, multi-year business plans have guided Council in making significant operating and capital investments in public transit, taking us from a ridership of 9.4 million in 2000 to 19.7 million in 2017. The GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) will guide the planned improvements to the Regional transit network and service levels over the next five years to achieve the Regional Transportation Master Plan ridership target of 28 million annual riders by 2021. Increasing the share of travel by transit supports the Regional goals of managing growth sustainably, improving air quality, and contributing to a thriving and liveable community. Over the next five years, GRT will experience a quantum leap as a competitive travel option for many residents of Waterloo Region. This is the result of significant improvements to the service including the start of LRT service, completion of the iXpress network, continued improvement to service levels with a focus on more frequent service, the introduction of new and enhanced passenger facilities, and the implementation of the EasyGO fare card system. The proposed transit network and annual service improvement plans will be refined annually based on public feedback and changing land use and travel patterns. The implementation of annual service improvements would then be subject to annual budget deliberations and Regional Council approvals. The new GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) builds on the successes of the previous business plans and on GRT’s solid organizational and infrastructure foundation.

  • Screening of Rapid Transit Routes and Stations – Comments and Responses Given by the Public at the March 20-22, 2007 Workshops
    Screening of Rapid Transit Routes and Stations – Comments and Responses given by the Public at the March 20-22, 2007 Workshops Introduction: As part of the Rapid Transit Environmental Assessment (RT EA), Phase 2, Step 2: Evaluation and Ranking of Reasonable Route Section and Technology Alternatives, the public was asked to provide input on the preliminary route and station locations that will be evaluated at this step. Three workshops were held in the cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo on March 20 – 21, 2007. Approximately 425 people attended the workshops, and several others provided comments through e-mail, phone, letters and faxes. Below is a summary of the public comments/suggestions on the alternative routes and stations and staff’s response and conclusions in preparing the final list of alternatives to be assessed during Phase 2 Step 2. In general, the majority of people who answered the question asked at the workshops “Do you agree with the proposed route and station locations to be evaluated?” stated that they agreed (approximately 60%) with the preliminary list. Several people offered suggestions of additional stations and routes to be added, removed or relocated. Review of Proposed Reasonable Routes Proposed alternative reasonable routes were identified in each of the seven segments of the 38-km long Central Transit Corridor study area using the following principles: • Corridors should connect potential stations in a relatively direct manner to minimize transit travel time and delays; • Corridors should minimize the potential disruption through environmental sensitive areas and mature, stable neighbourhoods; • Corridors should have a reasonable right of way width to accommodate either Bus Rapid Transit or Light Rail Rapid Transit technologies.

  • Stage 2 ION Environmental Project Report
    1 Introduction In June 2011, Region of Waterloo Council approved the implementation of a staged Light Rail Transit (LRT) system for rapid transit in Waterloo Region, to link the major urban centres of the Cities of Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge. In 2013 the Region’s rapid transit system was given the name ION. The Region is directing more growth to the existing built-up area to make better use of land, infrastructure and services. By building up instead of out the Region will help to limit urban sprawl and reduce the environmental impacts of urban growth. ION was approved by Region of Waterloo Council to achieve two major goals: to move people, and to build community. ION is being implemented in two stages: » Stage 1 ION includes LRT from Conestoga Station in Waterloo to Fairway Station in Kitchener, and adapted Bus Rapid Transit (“aBRT”, now referred to as “ION Bus”) from Fairway Station to the Ainslie Bus Terminal in Downtown Cambridge. ION Bus service commenced in September 2015, and LRT commenced in June 2019. » Stage 2 ION will replace the ION Bus service from Fairway Station in Kitchener to Downtown Cambridge with LRT, with 8 stations in this section of the route. This will create a continuous and seamless route across the Region’s three urban centres. The complete ION rapid transit system, shown in Figure 1-1, will do more than just increase transit access throughout the Region. It will also create an opportunity to build healthy and vibrant communities along the route. This Environmental Project Report (EPR) documents the Environmental Assessment (EA) process undertaken by the Region of Waterloo for the Stage 2 ION LRT system under Ontario Regulation (O.

  • Notice of Commencement of Transit Project Assessment Process Stage 2 ION: LRT from Kitchener to Cambridge
    Notice of Commencement of Transit Project Assessment Process Stage 2 ION: LRT from Kitchener to Cambridge The Project The Region of Waterloo is proposing to extend the ION LRT system an additional 18 km from Fairway station in Kitchener to Downtown Cambridge with eight new stations, creating a continuous LRT service across the Region’s three urban centres. Regional Council endorsed the Preferred Route (see map below) in June 2019 and the preliminary design in April 2020. Background In June 2011, Region of Waterloo Council approved the implementation of a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, linking the Region’s three major urban centres of the Cities of Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge. This project was approved as part of a strategic framework to manage long-term growth within the Region, as set out in the Regional Official Plan and the Regional Transportation Master Plan (2011, updated in 2018). Stage 1 ION opened in June 2019, a 19 km long route from Conestoga Station in Waterloo to Fairway Station in Kitchener. 3351989 The environmental impact of this transit project is being assessed through the transit project assessment process (TPAP) as outlined in Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. As part of the TPAP, a draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) has been prepared by the Region of Waterloo, and is now available for public review and comment (along with supporting environmental and technical studies, and public meeting materials) until February 12, 2021 at regionofwaterloo.ca/Stage2ION and Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
