MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY JACKIE DENYES AND MICHAEL MENEZES ON DECEMBER 11, 2024, AND FINAL ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
Link to Order
INTRODUCTION
1The Tribunal convened a Settlement Hearing on an appeal filed by 10 Orchard Crescent Inc. (“Appellant”) pursuant to subsections 53(19) and 45(12) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. P.13 as amended (“Act”) concerning the refusal by the Committee of Adjustment (“CoA”) for the City of Guelph (“City”) respecting an application for Consent to create three new residential lots with one retained parcel in order to construct two new semi-detached dwellings, resulting in a total of four lots on the property municipally known as 10 Orchard Crescent in the City of Guelph (“Subject Property”).
2On March 28, 2024, the Tribunal approved the RL.1 zone permitted uses ascribed to the Subject Property pursuant to a partial approval order regarding By-law (2023)-20790. However, certain regulations associated with the RL.1 zone remain under appeal and are not yet in effect, thereby necessitating the Minor Variances.
3The CoA refused the Severance and Minor Variance applications stating that the proposed severance(s) are not compatible with the neighbourhood due to concerns regarding, parking, traffic, lack of sidewalks, erosion and stormwater management. With regard to the Minor Variances, the CoA was also of the opinion the applications do not meet the four tests set out in subsection 45(1) of the Act, and are not desirable for the appropriate development of the lands, due to the same above-noted concerns.
4Prior to the commencement of the hearing, the City advised the Tribunal that it would not be participating in the hearing of this matter and leaves the decision ultimately to the Tribunal to decide based on the City’s Planning Report authored by Allison A. Thornton, that recommended approval with conditions to the CoA on behalf of the City.
5Following submission of the Appeals, the Appellant and Orchard-Callander Neighbourhood Association (“OCNA”) have worked collaboratively and jointly agreed to a proposed resolution of the matter, as set out in a fully executed Minutes of Settlement (“MoS”).
MINOR VARIANCES REQUESTED
6The Parties seek authorization of the following variances to the City of Guelph Zoning By-law (“GZBL”):
Maximum Attached Garage Width: To permit a maximum garage width of 4.5 metres for the proposed semi-detached dwellings, whereas Table 5.9, Row 1 requires a maximum attached garage width for a semi-detached dwelling in a RL.1 Zone to be 50 percent of the lot frontage or 5 metres, whichever is less;
Maximum Residential Driveway: To permit a maximum driveway width of 5 metres for the proposed semi-detached dwelling, whereas Table 5.10, Row 1 requires a maximum residential driveway width for a semi-detached dwelling in a RL.1 Zone to be 60 percent of the lot frontage or 5 metres, whichever is less;
Attached Garage Projection: To permit the proposed attached garage to project a maximum of 2 metres beyond the main front wall of the first storey containing habitable floor space oriented towards the front lot line abutting a street line, as a roofed porch is proposed, whereas Section 5.11.2(a) requires that within residential zones, attached garages shall not project beyond the main front wall of the first storey containing habitable floor space oriented towards the front lot line or exterior side lot line abutting a street line, and where a roofed porch is provided, the attached garage may be located ahead of the main front wall, to a maximum projection of 2 metres;
Minimum Floor Area of attached garage for Semi-detached Dwellings: To permit a minimum floor area of 20 square metres for the proposed attached garage, whereas Table 5.2 Additional Regulation 1 requires an attached garage for semi-detached dwellings shall have a minimum floor area of 20 square metres; and,
Minimum Parking Spaces per Semi-detached Dwellings: To permit a minimum of one parking space per semi-detached dwelling unit, whereas Table 5.3, Row 15 requires a minimum of one parking space per semi-detached dwelling unit.
CONSENT REQUESTED
7The Parties seek Provisional Consent to sever the Subject Property to create three new parcels for urban residential purposes with one retained parcel resulting in two new semi-detached dwellings, with four lots total on the Subject Property as follows and as further illustrated in the Planning Sketch below.
a. B-32/24 – Proposed Lands to be severed 1: Severance of a parcel of land with frontage along Orchard Crescent of 8.0 metres, a depth of 45.7 metres, and an area of 366 square metres.
b. B-33/24 – Proposed Lands to be severed 2: Severance of a parcel of land with frontage along Orchard Crescent of 7.5 metres, a depth of 45.7 metres, and an area of 342 square metres.
c. B-34/24 – Proposed Lands to be severed 3: Severance of a parcel of land with frontage along Orchard Crescent of 7.5 metres, a depth of 45.7 metres, and an area of 342 square metres.
d. The retained parcel will have frontage along Orchard Street of 7.5 metres, a depth of 45.7 metres, and an area of 342 square metres.
REQUESTS FOR PARTY AND PARTICIPANT STATUS
8In advance of the hearing, the Tribunal Panel received a written Party Status Request from Orchard-Callander Neighbourhood Association (“OCNA”). Through its Chair, Warren Libby, OCNA outlined the distinct character of Orchard Crescent and the surrounding neighbourhood, and indicated that the proposed development in terms of building form, scale, setbacks and massing is not compatible with the neighbourhood. OCNA also highlighted concerns with respect to stormwater management, drainage, erosion, grading, property damages, privacy and overlook as well as pedestrian safety.
9The Tribunal Panel further received a Participant Status Request from resident David Gray outlining that he was in agreement with the refusal decision by the CoA and citing safety concerns, street parking and neighbourhood compatibility.
10Also applying for Participant Status, Mary Ann Groot, who lives at the bottom of Orchard Crescent and is opposed to the applications on the basis of concerns for street safety, pedestrian traffic, lack of sidewalks and the level of intensification being proposed.
11Given that the Tribunal Panel was aware in advance of a proposed settlement in this matter that would resolve the concerns that are above noted, the Tribunal conferred Party Status to OCNA and Participant Status to David Gray and Mary Ann Groot.
HEARING
12The Tribunal Panel received and marked seven Exhibits as follows:
Affidavit of Service and Notice of Hearing dated November 14, 2024;
(a) Party status request from OCNA; (b) Participant status requests from David Gray, and Mary Ann Groot;
Certificate of Incorporation signed by OCNA;
Fully executed MoS dated December 9, 2024, with Recitals and Attachments;
Witness Statement and Expert Report of Chris Corosky, RPP;
Visual Evidence Book; and
Original and proposed modified Severance Sketch.
13Chris Corosky, a Registered Professional Planner (RPP) was qualified as an expert witness in the field of Land Use Planning. He provided an extensive Application Summary and planning analysis (Exhibit 5) in support of the modified proposal and applications. He opined to the differences between the original severance sketch before the CoA and the modified severance sketch included slight changes to the lot frontages and lot areas as well as increased driveway widths that would provide additional parking. It was Mr. Corosky’s opinion that the modified proposal is a good candidate for an intensification proposal, aligns with provincial and city objectives, is in the public interest and represents good planning.
14Regarding the area neighbourhood and street in the modified proposal plan, Mr. Corosky summarized that in all respects, the lot area, lot width, lot depth regulations are all in compliance with the only true variance, that being the driveway width, but that the Appellants still need the four administrative variances to bring the zoning on this property in line with the regulations in the Comprehensive Zoning By-law that would be applicable but are not because those subsections remain under Appeal.
LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
15When considering this Appeal, the Tribunal must have regard to matters of provincial interest as set out in section 2 of the Act, the proposal must be consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2024 (“PPS”) and conform to the Official Plan(s) in effect. Also, in consideration of the statutory requirements, the Tribunal must be satisfied the Appeal represents good land use planning and is in the public interest.
16Further, the Tribunal must be satisfied that the Consent applications have regard to the criteria set out in subsection 51(24), the requested variances meet the four tests set out in subsection 45(1) of the Act, and in accordance with subsection 53(1) of the Act a plan of subdivision is not required.
EVIDENCE
Sections 2 and 35.1 of the Act
17Mr. Corosky testified to matters of provincial interest that must be considered in evaluating and approving applications. In that regard, Mr. Corosky reviewed the modified Consent and Minor Variance applications, detailing matters of Provincial Interest including but not limited to, the protection of ecological systems, including natural areas, features and functions, the minimization of waste, the orderly development of safe and healthy communities, the adequate provision and distribution of educational, health, social, cultural and recreational facilities, the adequate provision of a full range of housing including affordable housing, the appropriate location of growth and development and the promotion of built form that is well-designed, encourages a sense of place, and provides for public spaces that are of high quality, safe, accessible, attractive and vibrant.
18Mr. Corosky attested to the following in support of the modified proposal plan:
(a) Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan (“TIPP”) is required, and a draft plan has been completed and is included in the Appellant’s materials;
(b) The intensified use of the property will enhance efficiency of services and the land base;
(c) The buildings will be constructed to the Ontario Building Code standards and in accordance with the 2023 Comprehensive Zoning By-law update;
(d) The Subject Property is located near a number of existing parks, schools and other amenities;
(e) The project will enhance housing types and choice options;
(f) The proposed residential use is appropriate as per the Official Plan and Zoning By-law (“ZBL”) and this type of infill will assist the City of Guelph in meeting its intensification target within a Built-up area; and
(g) The Built form will incorporate energy efficient measures.
19It was Mr. Corosky’s professional opinion that there are no matters of provincial interest which are negatively impacted by the 10 Orchard Crescent Inc. revised proposal.
20Mr. Corosky also testified that section 35.1 facilitates the provision of “additional” residential dwelling units (“ADUs”) as they are permitted as-of-right by the Guelph Zoning By-law.
Subsection 45(1) – Minor Variance Applications
21The general four tests to be met in considering the approval of Minor Variance applications are:
i. Is the requested variance minor in nature;
ii. Is approval of the requested variance desirable for the appropriate development of the area;
iii. Does the requested variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the ZBL; and
iv. Does the requested variance maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan.
22Mr. Corosky testified the proposed Minor Variances A-40/24, A-41/24, A-42/24 (severed parcels) and A-43-2 (retained parcel) mirror the zoning regulations adopted by the City Council on April 18, 2023, but are not yet in effect due to ongoing appeals. These Minor Variances refer to the maximum attached garage width, maximum residential driveway width, attached garage projection, minimum floor width of attached garage for Semi-detached Dwellings and minimum Parking Spaces per Semi-detached Dwellings, thereby implementing the administrative intent of Council, and are certainly minor.
23Whilst the City’s Official Plan and ZBL allows up to two ADUs, the proposal request is for one ADU per lot. This form of intensification is identified in the GOP as essential to meet future housing demands in the City and is desirable and appropriate.
24The requested variances are administrative in nature and implement the zoning provisions still under appeal for the proposal site. If By-law No. (2023)-20790 was fully in effect, the requested variances would not be required. The requested variances fully implement the intent and purpose of the ZBL.
25The requested variances also implement the intent and purpose of the GOP as the site is designated Low Density Residential and semi-detached dwellings and up to two ADUs per lot are permitted as-of-right. The GOP also addresses that 46 percent of all future housing is to occur through intensification.
Subsection 51(24) Severance Applications
26Subsection 51(24) (a) to (m) of the Act sets out the criteria to be considered in the approval of Consents which deal with matters regarding health, safety, convenience, accessibility for persons with disabilities and the welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the municipality. These include suitability of land, affordable housing units, width, location of grades and elevations of highways, dimensions and shapes of proposed lots, conservation of natural resources and flood control, adequacy of municipal services and school sites and plan design optimization. Through his commentary in his written report, it is the opinion of Mr. Corosky that the Subject Property meets the criteria as set out in subsection 51(24) of the Act.
PPS 2024
27Mr. Corosky indicated the new PPS 2024 underscores the priority of providing a full range of housing options and permits and facilitates all types of residential intensification, promoting densities for new housing and the use of existing infrastructure as set out in Sections 2.2 and 2.3.1.3. He testified this proposal fully conforms and reflects the policy direction as set out in PPS 2024.
GOP
28Section 3.2 of the GOP identifies that Guelph is forecast to grow to a population of 208,000 by 2051 and as such, the City has committed to facilitate 18,000 new housing units by 2031. Pursuant to Section 3.4.2 of the GOP, a minimum of 46 percent of all new growth is to be achieved through intensification of the existing built-up area within the City. It is the opinion of Mr. Corosky that the proposal is consistent with the philosophy outlined in Section 3.4 in that an underutilized existing residential parcel of land is being intensified and the proposal provides for a semi-detached built form which is compatible with existing surrounding development.
29Further, Mr. Corosky referred to Section 9.3 which sets out general objectives which confirm the proposed use of the Subject Property or semi-detached dwellings is permitted and is compatible with the neighbourhood by providing attractive buildings with acceptable impact. It was his opinion this proposal fully complies with the GOP relating to how intensification proposals should materialize and how the property envelope should look in the GOP and Zoning By-law.
30It was Mr. Corosky’s opinion that the proposal complies with the GOP.
GZBL
31Mr. Corosky testified the City has taken demonstrable steps in the preparation of the new ZBL to encourage and allow low density infill as-of-right in large parts of the City and particularly those zoned RL.1. Mr. Corosky’s report contains a chart that summarizes the regulations applicable to this proposal found at page 28. It is his opinion that the proposal for 10 Orchard Crescent fully complies with every applicable provision of the new ZBL, both in force and under appeal, and for the most part, exceed the minimum requirements of the ZBL in lot areas thereby complying with the GZBL.
32After reviewing the supporting technical documents that included Functional Servicing, Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, Source Water Protection, TIPP, Stormwater Management Report, and a Traffic Study to address neighbourhood concerns, it was Mr. Corosky’s opinion that all of these documents comply with the GZBL.
33In conclusion, Mr. Corosky proffered, in his overall planning opinion, as outlined in his Expert’s Report, that converting the one existing residential dwelling at 10 Orchard Crescent into two semi-detached houses (four units, plus up to eight associated ADUs) is consistent with and fully conforms and complies with the Act, the PPS 2024, GOP, GZBL and the City of Guelph’s Housing Pledge as outlined above in a summary matter but further detailed in his Witness Statement and Expert Report filed as Exhibit 5 in this hearing.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
34Having considered the uncontroverted testimony and supporting affidavit of Mr. Corosky and having reviewed the proposed instruments, the Tribunal finds that the modified proposal application represents an appropriate and desirable optimization of the lands located at 10 Orchard Crescent.
35The Tribunal finds that the Proposed Variances have regard to matters of Provincial Interest as set out in section 2 of the Act and represent good planning.
36The Tribunal finds that the tests established in subsection 45(1) of the Act, are met. On the sum of the evidence, the Tribunal is satisfied the general intent and purpose of the GOP and ZBL is properly maintained, the variances will facilitate the development of the Subject Property for a use and in a manner that is appropriate, desirable and consistent with the principles of good land use planning by addressing neighbourhood concerns regarding inter alia, parking, traffic, lack of sidewalks, erosion and stormwater management.
37The Tribunal finds that the modified proposal application is consistent with the PPS as it emphasizes the priority of a full range of housing options and permits and facilitates all types of residential intensification, promoting densities for new housing and the use of existing infrastructure.
38The Tribunal finds that the modified proposed application complies with the GOP as semi-detached dwellings are a permitted use and are compatible with the neighbourhood identifying how intensification proposals should materialize and how the property envelope should look in the GOP and GZBL.
39The Tribunal finds that the modified proposal application complies with applicable provisions of the new GZBL both in force and under appeal and, for the most part, exceed the minimum requirements of the GZBL in lot areas thereby complying with the GZBL.
40The Tribunal further finds that the modified proposal application complies with the City of Guelph’s Housing Pledge by its use of intensification targets.
