NEW BUSINESS 9.1 BUSINESS ARISING FROM PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 15, 2021 Holland Hills Development —Rezoning (PIDs 00056614, 00065094, 00056598) 8December 2021 Memorandum from Town Clerk Banks 8December 2021 Recommendation from Planning Advisory Committee By-law 2-10-29 DRAFT Development Agreement Deputy Mayor Alexander requested clarification, asking ifthe recommendations address the rezoning of the property, the development agreement, or both. He noted the two recommendations from the Planning Advisory Committee deal with both separately. Town Clerk Banks advised the recommendations are for 1St and 21 Reading of By-law 2-10-29 to Amend the Zoning By-law (rezoning); and the draft development agreement is part of the By-law. She explained, since the public hearing was held on November 15th, the process differs from the usual practice of scheduling public hearings prior to regular Council meetings, which allows Council to vote on 1st and 2nd Reading, of rezoning by-laws, at the subsequent meeting the same evening. ROTHESAY Regular Council Meeting (by videoconference) Minutes -8- 13 December 2021 Town Clerk Banks further noted, if 1st and 2m1 Reading are given, Council then votes on the development agreement following Reading in its Entirety, 311 Reading and Enactment of Zoning By-law amendments at the next meeting. Deputy Mayor Alexander asked ifCouncil were to approve 1st and 2nd Reading would that indicate approval of the development agreement as itstands, or would Council have the opportunity to vote on the development agreement separately. Town Clerk Banks advised a recommendation for the development agreement would be discussed subsequent to Council’s vote on 3rd Reading and Enactment. Town Manager Jarvie clarified further, noting there would be aseparate vote on the development agreement distinct from the vote on rezoning the property. Mayor Grant noted the purpose of By-law 2- 10-29 is to rezone the property from Single Family Residential to Multi-Unit Residential (R4) to allow for the development of two 48-unit six-storey apartment buildings. DPDS White confirmed this is correct, and added the item can return to staff if Council wishes to revise the development agreement. MOVED by Counc. Shea and seconded by Counc. Mackay French Council give Ut Reading by Title, to By-law 2-10-29, “A By-law to Amend the Zoning By-law”. ON THE QUESTION: For clarification, Mayor Grant reiterated the purpose of the By-law isto rezone the property from Single Family Residential —Standard Zone to Multi-Unit Residential (R4) to allow for the development of two 48-unit six-storey apartment buildings. DPDS White encouraged the public to review the By law, included in the Council agenda package, for further details. Counc. McGuire listed concerns regarding: the size of the buildings, the impact to the aesthetic of the Town, traffic, setting aprecedent, and future financial implications to both Rothesay and Quispamsis for fire protection. Deputy Mayor Alexander noted he has similar concerns, primarily the height of the buildings. He suggested the height will impact the privacy of adjacent properties, and capital expenditures for the Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department. He noted these buildings would be the tallest in the Town, which presents challenges from afirefighting perspective. He agreed with prior concerns from Counc. Brown regarding perimeter access for firefighting. He added approval of the development could set aprecedent, which may invite other developers to submit applications for buildings of asimilar height. He suggested buildings of this height would be more suitable in areas within the Secondary Plan. He indicated, based on history, it is reasonable to believe residents would not expect multi-unit apartment buildings, exceeding four storeys, to be constructed near their properties. Counc. Brown stated as anew councilor he supports growth and development in the Town, however he has concerns. More specifically, his concerns relate to: perimeter access for firefighting; the cul-de-sac (emergency access and maneuverability for large vehicles); and traffic (concerns received from residents of Chapel Road). He indicated he disagrees with the findings of the traffic study, suggesting the traffic generated will have an impact. He added traffic signals at the Marr Road/Chapel Road intersection may encourage shortcuts down Parkdale Avenue. He mentioned he has observed the municipal stormwater system overflowing which may be problematic despite the development’s stormwater management plan. He encouraged areview of property access, proposing Holland Drive be extended and changed to aone way street, to eliminate the dead end. Counc. Brown continued, noting it remains unclear if the buildings will be constructed with wood or concrete which impacts fire protection. He stated he isnot in favour of the project until these concerns are addressed. ROTHESAY Regular Council Meeting (by videoconference) Minutes -9- 13 December 2021 Counc. Boyle stated her agreement with all the aforementioned concerns. With respect to the height of the buildings, she noted four storey buildings are sufficient whereas six storey buildings are too big. She added approval would set aprecedent and encourage development of six storey buildings —Rothesay could end up resembling downtown Toronto. She stated she is not in favour of the project. Counc. Mackay French mentioned these concerns reflect discussions of the Planning Advisory Committee. She stated her main concern pertains to traffic and its impact to residents on Chapel Road. She mentioned she finds itproblematic that the developers indicated access through the Sobeys and Canadian Tire parking lots cannot be discussed until after approval. She noted she would like to hear comments from DPDS White. Mayor Grant stated she would like to provide comments but asked if DPDS White would like to comment first. DPDS White advised he has written extensively on this project and is willing to answer any questions. With respect to traffic concerns, he noted atraffic study was completed, by areputable finn, and reviewed by the Town Engineer, and did not indicate any issues. He noted he understands the skepticism expressed by some Council members about the traffic study, but noted this is the standard process for development applications. He disagreed with the belief that these buildings will set a precedent, noting conditions must be identical for this to occur. However, the location — between Sobeys and Canadian Tire, represents aunique condition of this property that is not easily replicated throughout the community. This is one of the reasons staff support this project, whereas other locations for similar projects would not be suitable. From an urban design perspective itis believed the height of the buildings, in this location, would not take away from Rothesay’s general aesthetic as alow-rise suburban community. Mayor Grant asked Deputy Mayor Alexander to assume the Chair. Deputy Mayor Alexander assumed the Chair. Mayor Grant acknowledged the need for housing, and diversity of housing options to attract more people to the Greater Saint John region. She added her appreciation for the uptake on affordable units, and support for development. With respect to higher density in residential areas, she understands this is needed to reduce sprawl, improve walkability, and support local businesses. However, she expressed concern regarding the number of units (96) and its impact on traffic through aneighbourhood of single family homes, rather than through an arterial road. She listed further concerns with the size, particularly the height of the buildings, as these would be the first six storey buildings in Rothesay. Despite the Fire Chief allaying some concerns, fire safety remains an issue. If aprecedent is set there will be financial implications for fire protection. She added the height of the buildings could result in loss of privacy for adjacent properties. She referenced public opposition received from neighbouring properties. She agreed this development could set aprecedent and open up Rothesay to being ahigh-rise community which may be undesirable to residents. She added further discussion isrequired before approval is granted for six storey buildings. She stated she is not in favour because of the six storey buildings. Mayor Grant resumed the Chair. Council debated the pros and cons of options to proceed, more specifically, tabling, defeating, or approving the recommendations. Ifthe motion is defeated by Council, aperiod of one year is required before the developer can resubmit the application —unless the developer has made substantial changes, or external conditions have changed. In this case, itis at Council’s discretion as to what changes would be considered substantial. Staff recommended another public hearing ifsubstantial revisions are made. The application could also be tabled, for an indefinite period of time, until the developer returns with modifications to the project. This is favorable to the developer as iteliminates the need to reapply and incur additional fees; additionally, the one year period would not apply. ROTHESAY Regular Council Meeting (by videoconference) Minutes -10- 13 December 2021 Staff cautioned, ifthe item is tabled for aconsiderable period of time itcould be deemed as arefusal of the project. Suggestions were made by Council to change the height of the buildings (4 storeys is preferable), access, and schedule another public hearing (subject to changes). Counc. Shea commented on the general opposition to six storey buildings, and asked why the Municipal Plan does not specify a maximum height for developments. DPDS White explained the inability to do so as this would be forecasting the will of Council. YEA vote recorded from Counc. Shea. NAY votes recorded from Deputy Mayor Alexander and Councs. Boyle, Brown, Mackay French, and McGuire. DEFEATED. Counc. Lewis returned to the videoconference.
