DISCUSSION:
The proposed development conforms to the Official Community Plan.

The preliminary design submitted with the application mostly conforms
with the provisions of the RM-4 Zone and design guidelines for the area.

Council has, to date, frozen all approvals for development in the
proximity of the Woodland - Kitchener intersection until final resolution of
this intersection is achieved.

In consideration of the need to obtain some lands from this project
for the right-of-way of the realigned Kitchener Avenue, it is recommended
that the application be allowed to proceed at this time. Final adoption of
this project will be dependent upon completion of road construction for the
intersection.

The project excludes one lot designated for multi-family development
under the Official Community Plan, at the corner of Patricia Avenue and
Woodland Street. The said lot could not be redeveloped as multi-family on
its own due to its small area. The applicants of Rezoning 40/90 should be
strongly encouraged to incorporate this lot into their project or, failing
to do that, provide satisfactory proof that the owners of the lot at the
corner of Patricia and Westwood are not interested in participating in the
development at this time.

The proposed development conforms with the Official Community Plan,
will provide needed seniors and multi-family residences, will facilitate the
realignment of the Kitchener - Woodland -— Westwood intersection and is
provided with vehicular accesses that will minimize any traffic intrusion on
the surrounding single family neighbourhood. It is therefore recommended
that, subject to the conditions noted above, this project be approved to
proceed.
