EXTRACT FROM COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF JUNE 26, 2012
Item 45, Report No. 25, of the Committee of the Whole, which was adopted without amendment by the Council of the City of Vaughan on June 26, 2012.
45 SITE DEVELOPMENT FILE DA.12.009 1801402 ONTARIO INC.

There are no requirements for new funding associated with this report. Communications Plan
N/A Purpose
The Owner has submitted Site Development File DA.12.009 on the subject lands shown on Attachments #1 and #2, to permit the construction of one-storey 1462.4 m2 office building, served by 55 parking spaces as shown on Attachment #3.
Background - Analysis and Options Location
The 0.45 ha parcel is located on the west side of Regional Road 27, north of Milani Boulevard, known municipally as 8290 Regional Road 27, City of Vaughan, as shown on Attachments #1 and #2. The surrounding land uses are shown on Attachment #2.
Official Plan and Zoning
The subject lands are designated "General Commercial" by OPA #240 (Woodbridge Community Plan), as amended by OPA #345 (Woodbridge Commercial Structure Study Policy Review) as further amended by site-specific OPA #451. The lands are designated “Commercial Mixed-Use” by the new City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010 (VOP 2010), which was adopted by Vaughan Council on September 7, 2010 (as modified September 27, 2011 and April 17, 2012) and is pending approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. The proposed site development conforms to the Official Plans.
The subject lands are zoned C2 General Commercial Zone by Zoning By-law 1-88, subject to Exception 9(343), which permits an office building use with a minimum gross floor area of 1,371.25 m2 on the property. In order to implement the proposed site plan (Attachment #3), the applicant is requesting the following zoning exceptions:
CITY OF VAUGHAN
EXTRACT FROM COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF JUNE 26, 2012 Item 45, CW Report No. 25 – Page 3
Table 1:
By-law Standards By-law Requirements of the C2 General Commercial Zone,
subject to Exception 9 (343)
Proposed Exceptions to the C2 General Commercial Zone a) Minimum Front Yard
(Regional Road 27)
15.0 m
(9.0m - Minor Variance Application A184/10)
3.0 m
b) Minimum Interior Side Yard (north) 6.0 m 3.0 m c) Minimum Landscape Strip Width (Regional Road 27) 6.0 m 1.5 m
d) Office Building Use Minimum building height shall be 2-storeys
Minimum building height shall be 1-storey
It is noted that the lands are subject to Minor Variance Application A184/10, which approved a reduced parking standard (3.5 spaces/100 m2 of gross floor area) and a reduced front yard (Regional Road 27) of 9.0m on the subject lands.
The applicant has submitted Minor Variance Application A124/12 for the approval of the above-noted variances. During the site plan review process, an additional variance was identified. Zoning By-law 1-88 defines an office building as having more than one-storey, which must be constructed on the site, whereas the proposed office building is one-storey in height, which the Development Planning Department has no objection.
The Development Planning Department can support the proposed zoning exceptions as they facilitate an appropriate development of the subject lands. The minimum landscape strip width of 1.5m and 3.0m minimum front yard along Regional Road 27, provides for a building located closer to the street, which is consistent with the City’s urban design objectives. The proposed 3.0m northerly interior side yard abuts a retaining wall and drainage swale and does not impact the adjacent vacant property. The proposed one-storey building provides a built form that is compatible with the surrounding development.
CITY OF VAUGHAN
EXTRACT FROM COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF JUNE 26, 2012 Item 45, CW Report No. 25 – Page 4
Site Plan Review
The proposed site plan shown on Attachment #3, includes a one-storey, 1462.4 m2office building sited along Regional Road 27, which encompasses approximately half of the site. The site is accessed from Regional Road 27 by an existing driveway adjacent to the south property line, which serves both the subject lands and the adjacent commercial complex. The proposed building elevations are shown on Attachment #5. The office building will be constructed to a maximum height of 7.38 m at the highest points located at each corner of the building, providing a 2-storey high massing. The building materials consist of brick, stucco and glazing. The proposed landscape plan is shown on Attachment #4. The Vaughan Development Department has reviewed the proposed site plan, building elevations and landscape plan and is generally satisfied with the plans, and will continue working with the applicant in order to enhance the landscape plan and building elevations.
The Vaughan Development/Transportation Engineering Department has reviewed the site servicing and grading plans and storm water management report. Prior to the execution of the Site Plan Letter of Undertaking, the Owner must satisfy the requirements of the Development/Transportation Engineering Department. A condition to this effect has been included in the recommendation of this report.
The Owner will be required to pay cash-in-lieu of the dedication of parkland, prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. A condition to this effect is provided in the recommendation of this report. The Owner will also be required to implement the policies contained in the approved “Waste Collection Design Standards Policy” to the satisfaction of the Vaughan Public Works Department. A condition to this effect is also provided in the recommendation of this report.
Relationship to Vaughan Vision 2020/Strategic Plan
This staff report is consistent with the priorities set forth in Vaughan Vision 2020, particularly "Manage Growth & Economic Well-being".
Regional Implications
The subject lands are located on the west side of Regional Road 27, which is a Regional Road. The Site Development Application was circulated to the Region of York Transportation and Community Planning Department for comment. The Owner will be required to fulfill all conditions and requirements of the Region of York. A condition to this effect is included in the recommendation of this report
Conclusion
The Vaughan Development Planning Department has reviewed Site Development File DA.12.009 in accordance with OPA #451, Zoning By-law 1-88, the comments from City Departments and external public agencies, and the area context. The Development Planning Department is satisfied that the proposed development for a one-storey office building is appropriate and compatible with the existing and permitted uses in the surrounding area, and conforms to the Official Plan. Accordingly, the Development Planning Department can support the approval of the Site Development Application, subject to the conditions contained in this report.
