REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of Kanata Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 720 Silver Seven Road from "M1A" (Light Industrial, Select) and "M1C-2(H)" (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception 2, Holding) to "M1C-XX(H)" (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception  XX, Holding), as shown in Document 1 and detailed in Document 2. 

 

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de  recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de l’ancienne Ville de Kanata afin de changer le zonage de la propriété du 720, chemin Silver Seven de « M1A » (Zone d’industrie légère spéciale) et de « M1C-2(H) » (Zone d’industrie légère mixte, assortie d’une exception 2, aménagement différé) à « M1C-XX(H) » (Zone d’industrie légère mixte, assortie d’une exception XX, aménagement différé), comme il est montré dans le document 1 et expliqué dans le document 2.

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

720 Silver Seven Road is located in the Terry Fox Business Park at the southwest quadrant of the Highway 417 and Terry Fox Drive interchange, as shown in Document 1.  The site has an area of 4.45 hectares and is bounded by Terry Fox Drive to the east and Silver Seven Road to the west.  A Costco is located immediately to the north of the site.  To the east of the site across Terry Fox Drive is a residential subdivision.  A hotel and office uses are located to the south.  An industrial and office building is located west of the site across Silver Seven Road.  The site is undeveloped and slopes downwards from Terry Fox Drive towards Silver Seven Road. 

 

Proposed Development

 

The applicant proposes to develop the site with a shopping centre containing approximately 8175 square metres of gross floor area.  Vehicular access to the site will be provided from a new signalized intersection on Silver Seven Road.  

 

Existing Zoning

 

The southern portion of the site is zoned "M1A" (Light Industrial, Select), and the northeast corner is zoned "M1C-2(H)" (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception 2, Holding).  The "M1A" zone allows a variety of uses including light industrial uses, offices, a printing establishment, a wholesale establishment and public uses.  The "M1C-2(H)" zone permits all of the uses in the "M1A" zone, business park retail outlets, home renovation centres, hotels, recreational establishments, restaurants, automobile sales dealerships, automobile rental establishments, planned retail centres and retail warehouses.  A retail warehouse use, which has a minimum gross floor area of 1858 square metres and a maximum gross floor area of 4999 square metres, is only permitted after the holding (H) symbol has been lifted.  The conditions to lift the holding symbol include the submission of a traffic study, a market study, a site plan application, and any other information required by the City.  

 

Purpose of Zoning By-law Amendment Application

 

The purpose of the application is to rezone the site to a new site-specific "M1C-XX(H)" (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception XX, Holding) zone.  The proposed zone would permit all the uses currently permitted in the "M1A" and "M1C-2(H)" zones and would allow the following additional uses: a department store, a retail store, a shopping centre, a fast-food restaurant, a full service restaurant and a take-out restaurant.  Specifically, the applicant has requested zoning to permit retail stores with a gross floor area of less than 1858 square metres.

 

Ontario Municipal Board Appeals

 

In April 2006, the applicant appealed the subject application to the Ontario Municipal Board because the City refused to make a decision on the application within the prescribed timeframe under the Planning Act. 


 

A hearing has not been scheduled to date for the application.  However, a separate hearing was held in 2006 for a nearby property at 15 Frank Nighbor Place and 737 and 777 Silver Seven Road.  Traffic issues that relate to the proposed development at 720 Silver Seven Road were examined at this hearing. 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan

 

The site is located within the Terry Fox Business Park which is designated as an "Employment Area" in the Official Plan.  The Terry Fox Business Park is bounded by Highway 417 to the north, Terry Fox Drive to the east, Maple Grove Road to the south and the Carp River to the west.  Employment Areas are planned to provide at least 2000 jobs at a range of densities.  Permitted uses include a variety of industrial and employment-generating uses, such as warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, communications, storage, construction, office, institutional, and research and development uses.  Complementary uses, such as recreational, health and fitness, child care and service commercial uses are also permitted. 

 

Policy 3.6.5(g) in the Official Plan specifically permits retail uses on lands located south of Highway 417, west of Terry Fox Drive, east of the Carp River and north of Palladium Drive, save and except for property with any frontage on Palladium Drive, and provided that adequate road capacity is available.  This policy recognizes that the former City of Kanata Official Plan permitted limited retail uses within part of the Terry Fox Business Park.  As the subject property is located within the geographic area described in the policy, retail uses are permitted provided that adequate road capacity is available.  The Official Plan does not contain any restrictions on the type of retail uses permitted, and does not provide any minimum or maximum sizes for retail uses in this area. 

 

Road Capacity

 

In 2006, the issue of road capacity in the Terry Fox Business Park was examined at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing regarding appeals to four planning applications at 15 Frank Nighbor Place and 737 and 777 Silver Seven Road.  These properties are located on the west side of Silver Seven Road opposite the Costco store.  The appeals were to two minor variance applications, an application to lift the holding symbol from the existing "M1C-2(H)" zone to permit retail warehouse uses, and a site plan application to permit 12 167 square metres of retail and service commercial space.

 

One of the conditions to lift the holding symbol was for the proponent to submit a traffic study identifying the roadway/intersection modifications required to support the scale of development proposed.  Existing retail developments in the area include Home Depot with a gross floor area of 11 891 square metres, and Costco with a gross floor area of 13 311 square metres. In 2007, Council also approved a Zoning By-law amendment application at 20 Frank Nighbor Place to permit a shopping centre with a gross floor area of 19 773 square metres. 


 

In total, there is upwards of 65 000 square metres of existing and proposed retail commercial space in the Terry Fox Business Park including the proposed space at 720 Silver Seven Road.  In terms of scale, the existing and proposed developments would form one of the larger retail nodes within the city.

 

Silver Seven Road provides the only access between Palladium Drive and the existing and proposed retail developments.  There is no other access between the developments and the arterial road network.  The hearing focused primarily on the ability of the road network to accommodate all of the existing and proposed retail developments in the Terry Fox Business Park, and whether a single access was appropriate to support the scale of development. 

 

The City argued that a single access is not sufficient to accommodate all of the retail and service commercial space proposed, and that the applications should not be approved until a second access can be provided.  The developers argued that the road network could support all of the existing and proposed developments without the addition of a second access. 

 

The Board issued a decision that supports all of the proposed retail and service commercial space proceeding with a single access.  In particular, it was found that the intersection of Palladium Drive and Silver Seven Road will operate with a volume to capacity ratio of 0.9 during the peak hour and will meet the City's transportation criteria.  The Board found that a second access is unnecessary.  The Board's decision was predicated on roadway modifications being undertaken and the implementation of a cost-sharing agreement between the area landowners.  The required modifications affect Silver Seven Road, Frank Nighbor Place and the Palladium Drive/Silver Seven Road intersection.  After these roadway modifications have been implemented, there will be adequate road capacity available to support all of the existing and proposed retail developments.  Accordingly, retail uses are permitted at 720 Silver Seven Road under Policy 3.6.5(g).

 

Employment in the Terry Fox Business Park

 

As discussed previously, there is a minimum employment requirement of at least 2000 jobs in the Official Plan for each Employment Area.  It is noted that the Department excludes retail jobs from employment calculations for the purpose of meeting the employment targets in Employment Areas.  According to the results of the 2006 Employment Survey, there were 2155 total jobs in the Terry Fox Business Park in 2006 including full-time and part-time jobs.  This figure includes 542 total jobs at Home Depot and Costco, which are classified as retail jobs.  When the retail jobs are excluded, there were 1613 non-retail jobs in the Business Park in 2006.  Since the survey was conducted, buildings for EMS Satcom at 400 Maple Grove Road and Smart Technologies at 501 Palladium Drive have been occupied adding approximately 681 non-retail jobs.  In total, it is estimated that there are approximately 2294 non-retail jobs in the Business Park, which exceeds the minimum employment requirement in the Official Plan.  The proposed shopping centre development will also contribute to employment in the Business Park through the addition of full-time and part-time retail jobs.


 

Department Store Use

 

In 2000, the Ontario Municipal Board redesignated the northern portion of the Terry Fox Business Park to permit a limited range of retail uses including a business park retail outlet, a retail warehouse, a large retail warehouse, and a planned retail centre.  This decision was based in part on an Employment and Commercial Land Use Study prepared by Malone Given Parsons Ltd. and FoTenn Consultants Inc.  The study included an analysis of commercial land use needs, which suggested that at least one and possibly two new department stores could be warranted in Kanata in the future.  The study recommended that, given the importance of the Kanata Town Centre and its role as a regional facility, it is important that the next new department store be located in the "Regional Shopping Centre" (RSC) designation in the Town Centre unless it cannot be accommodated for whatever reason. 

 

Since the Employment and Commercial Land Use Study was completed, development within the RSC designation has expanded to a total floor area of over 86 000 square metres.  The northern RSC-1 designation is occupied by the Kanata Centrum Shopping Centre including a Wal-Mart department store and a Loblaws supermarket.  The southern RSC-2 designation has been developed with the Kanata Entertainment Centrum, which includes an AMC cinema complex, Centrum Walk, and a variety of retail and service commercial uses.  A second department store cannot be accommodated within these designations without redeveloping part of the existing shopping centre.  Redevelopment opportunities would likely be complicated due to existing lease commitments and typical lease restrictions such as "no build" areas.  

 

The only large vacant parcels available in the Regional Shopping Centre are located in the RSC‑3 designation on the south side of Kanata Avenue between Earl Grey Drive and Lord Byng Way.  The RSC-3 designation is intended to be a high-density employment area with the potential for high-density residential uses and a limited amount of retail and service uses on the ground floor.  This designation does not permit a department store use.     

 

The Employment and Commercial Land Use Study recommended that the Terry Fox Business Park be developed for both employment and retail, with retail focused on the Highway 417 frontage between Terry Fox Drive and the Carp River.  Further, the planning strategy was to permit large format retail uses on the Highway 417 frontage that are space extensive and regionally oriented, but that would not compromise the Regional Shopping Centre.  The proposed department store will not compromise the Regional Shopping Centre because this area has already reached a sufficient size and tenant mix to firmly establish it as the dominant regional shopping centre within the West Urban Area.  The proposed shopping centre at 720 Silver Seven Road will satisfy the demand for additional commercial space within the trade area that cannot currently be fulfilled within the Regional Shopping Centre.

 

Department stores generally attract customers from a large trade area, and the subject property offers a regionally accessible location near the Highway 417 and Terry Fox Drive interchange.  The site is also located near a Home Depot store and a Costco store, which are also regionally oriented retailers that attract customers from large trade areas. 


 

The proposed department store will complement the Home Depot and Costco stores and further establish this node as a regionally oriented shopping destination. 

 

Retail Stores

 

The applicant has proposed smaller retail store uses with a gross floor area of less than 1858 square metres as a component of the shopping centre development.  Smaller retail uses are typical of shopping centres and often depend on the customer traffic that is initially generated by an anchor tenant or by the shopping centre as a whole.  The proposed Zoning By-law amendment to allow a department store and smaller retail uses will facilitate a broader retail mix for the shopping centre and improve product selection, choice and convenience for customers.  

 

Restaurant Uses

 

A restaurant use is currently permitted at 720 Silver Seven Road within the portion of the site zoned "M1C-2(H)".  The proposed zoning would allow a restaurant use to be located on the portion of the site currently zoned "M1A". 

 

It would also expand the range of restaurant uses to permit a fast-food restaurant, a full service restaurant and a take-out restaurant.  The proposed zoning would permit these three restaurant types without drive-through facilities.  The requested restaurant uses are classified as service commercial uses, which are specifically permitted in Employment Areas.   

 

Compatibility

 

The proposed shopping centre is compatible with existing and proposed development in the area. In particular, it will have a similar built form to the existing Costco and Home Depot developments on Frank Nighbor Place and Silver Seven Road.  There are no residential uses located immediately abutting the site that would be adversely impacted by the proposed shopping centre. 

 

Details of Recommended Zoning

 

The proposed amendment will rezone the site from “M1A” (Light Industrial, Select) and “M1C‑2(H)” (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception 2, Holding) zones to a new, site-specific “M1C‑XX(H)” (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception  XX, Holding) zone.  The details of the new zone are contained in Document 2 and summarized below. 

 

The proposed “M1C-XX(H)” zone will permit all of the uses allowed under the existing “M1A” and “M1C-2(H)” zones, and will add a department store, retail stores, fast-food restaurants, full service restaurants, take-out restaurants and a shopping centre as permitted uses.  The proposed amendment will add definitions for a retail store and a shopping centre.  New zoning provisions will be created for a department store, a planned retail centre, a retail store, a retail warehouse and a shopping centre including provisions for minimum yards, minimum required parking spaces, landscaping and maximum building height. 

 

The Ontario Municipal Board has determined that the road network can support upwards of 65 000 square metres of retail and service commercial uses in the area bounded by Highway 417 to the north, Terry Fox Drive to the east, Palladium Drive to the south and the Carp River to the west, including 8175 square metres of retail uses at 720 Frank Nighbor Place, subject to the implementation of the roadway modifications described in the “Terry Fox Business Park Full Retail Buildout Traffic Impact and Roadway Modifications Report” prepared by Novatech Engineering Consultants Ltd.   The proposed zoning will establish a maximum aggregate gross floor area of 8175 square metres for all retail and service commercial uses in accordance with this report. 

 

The existing “M1C-2(H)” zoning restricts the density of retail warehouses and planned retail centres to a maximum gross floor area of 2298 square metres per development hectare.  With the establishment of a maximum aggregate floor area of 8175 square metres for the shopping centre, there is no longer a need to regulate the density of these individual uses for traffic or market impact reasons.  Therefore, the proposed zoning will delete the density provision. 

 

The holding symbol that applies to the existing “M1C-2(H)” zone requires the submission of a traffic study, a market study, a site plan application and any other information that the City may require, prior to permitting retail warehouse uses.  These conditions to lift the holding symbol are no longer relevant. 

 

The Ontario Municipal Board has already accepted a traffic study supporting retail development on the site. A market study is no longer required because development in the Regional Shopping Centre designation exceeds a gross floor area of 50 000 square metres.  A condition to submit a site plan application is unnecessary, as development of any of the permitted uses will require the submission and approval of a site plan application.  Therefore, the Department recommends that the four conditions to permit a retail warehouse be deleted.

 

The Employment Area policies only permit retail uses on the subject property if there is adequate road capacity available.  The Ontario Municipal Board has identified the roadway modifications necessary to accommodate all of the existing and proposed retail uses in the Terry Fox Business Park.  However, the implementation details for the required roadway modifications remain outstanding.  It is recommended that a holding symbol be used to ensure that the roadway modifications will be implement prior to permitting any retail uses including a department store, a planned retail centre, a retail store, a retail warehouse and a shopping centre.  The conditions to lift the holding symbol will be as follows:

 

a)                  The detailed design for the roadway modifications described in Exhibit 61 to the Ontario Municipal Board hearing regarding 15 Frank Nighbor Place and 737 and 777 Silver Seven Road (OMB Case Nos. PL051066, PL060317 and PL060318) has been approved by the Director, Planning Branch;

b)                  All necessary road widenings to accommodate the roadway modifications identified in subclause (a) above have been conveyed to the City;


 

c)                  A registered cost sharing agreement to construct the roadway modifications identified in subclause (a) above has been entered into between the owners of 15 Frank Nighbor Place, 20 Frank Nighbor Place, 720 Silver Seven Road, 737 Silver Seven Road and 777 Silver Seven Road, and provided to the City;

d)                  An implementation plan including a construction schedule for the roadway modifications identified in subclause (a) above has been provided to the City; and

e)                  A performance deposit has been provided to the City for the roadway modifications identified in subclause (a) above.

f)                    Prior to the lifting of the holding symbol, the permitted uses shall exclude a department store, a planned retail centre, a retail store, a retail warehouse and a shopping centre.

 

Conclusions

 

The Employment Area policies in the Official Plan specifically allow retail uses on the subject property provided that adequate road capacity is available.  The Ontario Municipal Board has determined that the existing road network can provide adequate road capacity subject to the implementation of roadway modifications on Frank Nighbor Place and Silver Seven Road and at the Palladium Drive/Silver Seven Road intersection.  Service commercials uses such as restaurants are also permitted in Employment Areas.  The recommendation is to rezone the subject property from “M1A” (Light Industrial, Select) and “M1C-2(H)” (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception 2, Holding) to a new, site-specific “M1C-XX(H)” (Light Industrial, Mixed, Exception  XX, Holding) zone.  The proposed zone will permit all of the uses permitted in the “M1A” and “M1C-2(H)” zones and will add a department store, retail stores, fast-food restaurants, full service restaurants, take-out restaurants and a shopping centre as permitted uses. 

 

In addition, the proposed zoning will include a holding symbol.  New conditions to lift the holding symbol have been introduced to ensure that the required roadway modifications will be implemented prior to permitting a department store, a planned retail centre, a retail store, a retail warehouse and a shopping centre.  The proposed shopping centre development complies with the applicable Official Plan policies, and will complement the existing Home Depot and Costco stores, and further establish this area as a regional shopping node.
