Letter of Request To: Township of South Frontenac re Battersea Ball Park Re: Request for facilities at Battersea Ball Park by Kingston Field Naturalists for BioBlitz on Nature Conservancy Milburn Creek property The Kingston Field Naturalists is looking for facilities available in Battersea to support a BioBlitz—a 24 hour count of as many living things as can be identified in the time frame- on the Milburn Creek property of the Nature Conservancy Canada. The event runs from 3:00pm Friday 9 June to 3:00pm Saturday 10 June, 2023 The Battersea ball park may be suitable for our needs. We particularly need parking, primitive camping, base tent location and BBQ site. About 70 participants including specialists and experts are expected from Kingston and surrounds as well as Ottawa and Toronto. The event is open to the public. Guided walks, to learn about a specific group of plants or animals or a special habitat, run throughout the event. There is also a kid’s program. Species to be recorded include mammals, birds, turtles, snakes, fish, invertebrates (including insects, centipedes, snails etc.) and plants including trees, shrubs, vines, flowering plants, water plants, mosses, lichens as well as fungi and minute water organisms. We hope to list up to 1,000 species. This gives us a good overview of the biodiversity of the site and is a base line for changes that may occur due to global warming, invasive species and natural succession. The results will be published in the September issue of the Kingston Field Naturalists quarterly bulletin available on the website (kingstonfieldnaturalists.org under “Resources/Blue Bill”). Reports from our past 24 BioBlitzes may be read here in each September issue. We very much hope that some facilities will be available to us for this event. Thank you for your consideration.

Municipally Significant Event Designation for the Summer Kickoff Music Festival

Summary This report recommends that Council designate the Summer Kickoff Music Festival as municipally significant as required by the Alcohol & Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) Special Occasion Permit (SOP).

Recommendation That Council designate the South Frontenac Summer Kickoff Music Festival as a municipally significant in support of the Alcohol & Gaming Commission of Ontario Special Events Permit Application.

Background As a part of the 2023 operating budget, Council approved an inaugural music festival event. This festival has been scheduled for May 27th, 2023, from 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm in Centennial Park, Harrowsmith. The event will feature a local craft beer and liquor garden and as per the AGCO SOP application processes, public events must be designated as municipally significant to grant the permit.

Discussion/Analysis The Summer Kickoff Music Festival will feature live music, food trucks, as well as local craft beer and liquor vendors. The event will be a true celebration of local talent and artistry, bringing together masters of their craft in the music, food, and drink industries. A main feature at the event will be the craft beer and liquor garden. Staff are working towards contracting local and regional based craft beer businesses to join the event, as well as one liquor vendor. In order to secure the proper permits and approvals for a public event, it must be designated as municipally significant. The event is intended to appeal to a broad range of residents and will feature activities geared towards adults, such as the craft beer and liquor vendors, but also family friendly

To: Council Prepared by: Public Services Department Date of Meeting: March 21, 2023 Subject: Household Hazardous Waste Depot Contract Extension

Summary The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to proceed with a two year contract extension with Brendar Environmental for the operation of the Townships Household Hazardous Waste Depot facility.

Recommendation That Council approve a two-year contract extension with Brendar Environmental for the operation of the Household Hazardous Waste Depot as per the terms and conditions of the extension offer (Appendix A) until April 1st 2025.

Background Brendar Environmental has been operating the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program for the Township since 2015. The Township offers a year round HHW drop off Facility that diverts an average of 94 Tonnes of material from landfill annually. The 2022 contract rate to run a HHW drop off event was $523.11 and the transportation and disposal of the material is charged out by the litre, weight, or drum depending on the product. The 2022 expenses under this contract were $66,424 which includes the flat rate charge per event, managing the operation of the site, all required reporting, and disposal of material. On October 2, 2021 the municipal hazardous and special waste program transitioned to a producer responsibility model that makes producers fully responsible for managing and paying for the full life-cycle of their products. Producer Responsibility Organizations (PRO) are business that are contracted by the producers to meet the requirements under the hazardous and special products regulations. The Township have contracts in place with PROs that expire this year that provided compensation for running the drop off events and disposal of the material to the Township. Brendar Environmental is an approved contractor of the PROs and they are compensated directly by the PROs for their portion of the transportation and handling of the material after it has left our facility.

www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Page 31 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Household Hazardous Waste Depot Contract Extension

Discussion/Analysis The Township is currently in the process of negotiating new contacts with PROs for the disposal of hazardous waste materials. Under these new contracts the Township will continue to be paid a price for each material that qualifies on a productivity model (Price per Kilogram). The PROs are required to pay Brendar directly for the hauling and transfer portion of the material. Staring January 1st 2023, the Township is required to report all hazardous waste generated at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP) electronically on the new online Hazardous Waste Programs Registry that replaces the old Hazardous Waste Information Network (HWIN) and paper manifests. Brendar is currently set up as an agent for the Township and provides all the electronic manifests and annual reporting on our behalf, which reduces the amount of staff time required to manage the site. The next stage of the Provinces transition of waste diversion programs to a producer responsibility model is the Blue Box Program. The Township is targeting July 1, 2025 as the transition date for this program. The contract extension with Brendar Environmental until April 1, 2025 will give the Township time to enter into contracts with PROs for the materials with no service interruption at the HHW facility. It will also align with the recycling pick up contracts that are in place until 2025 and allow the Township two years to make a plan for the Blue Box Transition and what the future of waste diversion looks like for South Frontenac. Brendar Environmental provides excellent customer service to both the residents of South Frontenac and the Public Services Department in their operation of the HHWD.

Financial Implications The annual CPI increase was accounted for in the 2023 operating budget.

To: Recreation & Leisure Services Advisory Committee Prepared by: Public Services Department Date of Meeting: February 23, 2023 Subject: Canada Day Fireworks in South Frontenac

Summary This report provides a rational and a recommendation on a proposed change for Canada Day Fireworks in South Frontenac to go from three firework shows to one, starting in 2023.

Recommendation That the Recreation & Leisure Services Advisory Committee provide the following recommendation to Council: That the Township of South Frontenac host one firework show for the 2023 Canada Day event; That the host location shall be decided by a random draw of the three viable municipal parks (Centennial Park in Harrowsmith, Gerald Ball Park in Sunbury, and The Point Park in Sydenham) upon approval of the recommendation by Council; it being understood that Council will determine the 2023, 2024 and 2025 location based on the outcome of the random draw; That staff engage Northstar Fireworks as the vendor for the 2023 Canada Day fireworks display; and That staff engage a local transportation company to shuttle residents to the host site of the fireworks show.

Background The Township of South Frontenac has been offering three separate Canada Day fireworks shows across the Township since amalgamation. These have been located at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith, Sydenham Point Memorial Park in Sydenham, and Gerald Ball Park in Sunbury. There have been discussions over the past few years about combining the shows to one location. The history, benefits, and challenges to this proposed format change must be considered before a recommendation is made.

Discussion/ Analysis History The oversite and contract management of the fireworks shows has been under the purview of the Recreation & Facilities Manager since 2015. Before that position existed, local groups and the Recreation Committees would host the shows. Legislative requirements and safety standards of practice must be adhered to, and there is an elevated level of risk and liability with fireworks, therefore firework management must be completed by staff and contracted services, volunteers can no longer have oversite of firework shows as was done in the past. For several years, there has been a discussion to move from three firework shows to one. The idea has been met with resistance from some groups, but support from others. Last year, the Canada Day festivities resumed after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic and additional considerations came to light. These include an increase in pricing, labour shortages, and supply shortages. For these reasons, and many other continuing issues, there is a need for a comprehensive review of the firework format in South Frontenac. Benefits of Three Shows:

More realistic for those with limited timelines to travel to shows (i.e., if families have small children and cannot be out too late or have pets at home, etc.) and wish to go to their nearest park.
Community traditions – Families have gone to the same park to watch the fireworks show on Canada Day for many years. These traditions are an important part of community building.
With three shows at three parks, the burden of traffic/ parking is more easily accommodated. Challenges of Three Shows:
The firework industry is still in recovery mode from the pandemic. The prices are up, and the staffing situation is precarious. Last year we needed to find volunteers to help our vendor adequality staff them, which was challenging. Our fireworks vendor has indicated that having three shows is extremely straining for their resources and going to one would be a relief on our pressures and theirs.
The budget for fireworks to host all three shows is huge. If we reduce the number of shows we offer and combine the budget, we have enough to not only have a longer, bigger show, but also offer bus transportation to the show AND still reduce costs. Those savings can be allocated to other event programming and would be of greater value if spent elsewhere. Much larger municipalities, such as Kingston, do not spend the amount of money as South Frontenac does on fireworks.
The township is proactively taking steps towards combating climate change. Fireworks are in contravention of these efforts.
Fireworks are a noise nuisance and cause trouble for people and pets across the township.

Our capacity to host three shows is very tight. It is a challenge every year to ensure that the event is run safely and smoothly, and to get the resources where they need to be (fire department, barriers, crowd control, etc.). When there are three shows, it is extremely difficult to ensure the safety and site plans are being followed. In previous years, including last year, the site plans were not followed and resulted in a dangerous and upsetting experience for neighbours at some sites.

Show Dynamics & Logistics at the Parks:

At Centennial Park, there is the space for a show using medium size shells. Traditionally, this show would be around 10 – 12 minutes long. This park allows for a larger amount of parking/ vehicular traffic and is off a class two arterial road between the helmets of Verona, Sydenham, and Harrowsmith. Moving to one show would allow for a longer timeframe show (18 – 20 minutes), but the shot shells cannot be larger.
At Gerald Ball Park, there is the space for a show using medium size shells. Traditionally, this show would be around 10 – 12 minutes long. This park allows for a larger amount of parking/ vehicular traffic and is on a class three road between the hamlets of Battersea, Inverary, and Sunbury. Families have also traditionally have parked at the Storrington Centre to watch the fireworks off-site. Of note, there is a planned development scheduled for the property adjacent to the park that will impact the show in the future. Moving to one show would allow for a longer timeframe show (18 – 20 minutes), but the shot shells cannot be larger.
At Sydenham Point Park, there is space for a show using a larger size shell due to the larger fallout zone. Traditionally, this show would be around 12 – 15 minutes long. This park allows for some parking and is centrally located between the two hamlets of Sydenham and Harrowsmith and is also the most central park in South Frontenac. Families traditionally have watched the fireworks show from the park, boats, and the Cataraqui Trail. As the shooting location is near Sydenham Lake, there is potential for the use of a barge to shoot from if the budget and show is combined. This would allow for larger and more dynamic shell sizes to be detonated. Historic Funding Structure: Park Centennial Park Gerald Ball Park Sydenham Point Park TOTAL PER PARK TOTAL CONCURRENT

Show Length 10 – 12 minutes 10 – 12 minutes 12 – 15 minutes Average 39 minutes total showtime. Average 12-minute simultaneous showtimes.

Budget $8,000 $8,000 $13,500 $29,500 = $756/ minute at each park. $29,500 = $2,458.33/ minute in South Frontenac.

Between the three shows, South Frontenac typically spends approximately $2,400 per minute. For comparison, Kingston spends about $1,400 per minute (as per a 2019 article). www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Page 37 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Canada Day Fireworks in South Frontenac

Additional Considerations:

Actual distance between parks are as follows: o Centennial Park to The Point: 7.2 km (8 minutes) o Gerald Ball to The Point: 19.7 km (17 minutes) o Centennial Park to Gerald Ball Park: 25.8 km (22 minutes)
South Frontenac is one of the last municipalities in Southeastern Ontario to have multiple fireworks shows as an amalgamation legacy. The City of Kingston went from three to one show with their largest distance between parks being 20.4 km (23 minutes), almost identical to South Frontenac’s.
Some municipalities no longer host fireworks shows as they are in contravention of their clean air, environmental, or climate change policies.
By eliminating fireworks shows, there is a much higher risk of illegal firework displays hosted by residents, businesses, and groups. This can cause a dangerous and a precarious situation and is in contravention of municipal bylaws. We experienced this during the pandemic and our neighbouring municipalities have reported these instances happening when they reduced the number of shows. Proposed Format & Funding Structure:
One show, rotated between the three parks each year with the schedule determined by a random draw.
Contract a shuttle bus service to collect spectators throughout the township at various hamlets. The bus will have added value elements for families (i.e., glowsticks, stickers, temporary tattoos, children’s entertainers, etc.). This will make taking the shuttle bus an experience for families and has the potential to create a new community tradition. We have been quoted at approximately $400/ bus.
Funding from each show would be combined, creating a cost savings. o Fireworks: $17,000. o Transportation services: $2,500 (including the shuttle busses and added value elements) o Total: $19,500 (savings of $10,000)

Financial Implications

Cost savings of approximately $10,000

To: Council Prepared by: Development Services Department Date of Meeting: March 21, 2023 Zoning By-law Amendment Application Subject: PL-ZBA-2023-0013, Ireland, Part 1, 13R22753, 0 MorelandDixon Road

Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to change the zone on the subject property to permit two dwelling units in a single detached dwelling and a third dwelling unit in an accessory building on the property, and to permit the accessory building to exceed the maximum building height.

Recommendation That By-law 2023-24 being a By-law to amend By-law 2003-075, as amended, to rezone land from Urban Residential – First Density (UR1) to Urban Residential – First Density – Special Provision (UR1-24) zone on lands described as Part 1, Reference Plan 13R22753, Part Lot 20, Concession 2, District of Storrington be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2023-24 be given third reading, signed and sealed.

Background Council held a virtual public meeting under the Planning Act on October 11, 2022, on the proposed amendment to Zoning By-law 2003-75. This application is being brought forward to Council for a decision.

Discussion Summary of Application The proposal is to change the zone on the subject property from Urban Residential – First Density (UR1) to a property specific Urban Residential – First Density zone (UR1-24) to permit two dwelling units in a single detached dwelling and an additional dwelling unit in an accessory building on the property. The applicant proposes a single detached dwelling that contains a 1,056 square foot unit and a 846 square foot unit. The dwelling would also www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Page 43 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2023-0013, Ireland, Part 1, 13R22753, 0 Moreland-Dixon Road

contain a shared attached garage. The applicant also proposes a 932 square foot additional dwelling unit to be part of a detached garage to the rear of the property. Both the single detached dwelling and the detached garage would be 7.4 metres in height. The three dwelling units would share a driveway, well and sewage system. The application, concept plan and proposed floor plans can be accessed in the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center (https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/91867/). Property Description The subject property is located on Moreland-Dixon Road in Inverary. Inverary is a settlement area along Perth Road in the southeast corner of the Township. The property is east of Ken Garrett Memorial Park, and is surrounded by residential properties. It is between 4078 and 4108 Moreland-Dixon Road. The 0.8 hectare (2 acre) property is a field with a treed fence line. The property is developed with an old farm building. Related Applications The subject property is not subject to any other applications under the Planning Act. Department and Agency Comments Building Services indicated that the property is suitable for the installation of a sewage system, dependent upon the information that will be provided in an Application to Construct a Sewage System, and if a zoning by-law amendment is passed to permit three dwelling units. Public Comments A virtual public meeting was held under the Planning Act on February 14, 2023. Written comments were received prior to the meeting from several members of the public. These comments can be accessed in the Township’s CivicWeb Document Center (https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/91867/). Several members of the public addressed Council at the public meeting. There were additional comments and questions raised to staff following the public meeting. This correspondence is also on Civic Web. The following is a summary of the comments received. These matters are discussed in the Planning Analysis below.

Concern about the impact of three dwelling units on groundwater supply, as there are residents in Inverary that have water supply issues (e.g. not enough water, well goes dry).

www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Page 44 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2023-0013, Ireland, Part 1, 13R22753, 0 Moreland-Dixon Road

Concern about the size and impact of the required septic system on a two-acre lot beside a watercourse.
Concern about the proposed housing density and overcrowding, and impact on open space and privacy.
Concern about the impact of additional families with children on local public school capacity.
Concern about the narrow circulation of the notice of the application and public meeting based on the perception that the proposal would be precedent setting for the Township. The applicant also addressed Council at the public meeting. He explained that he had a well pump test done before submitting the proposal to satisfy himself that the development would be feasible. The two unit dwelling was designed to have a similar look as other, newer single detached dwellings on Moreland-Dixon Road. The accessory detached garage with the third dwelling unit would be located behind the dwelling, as required on residential lots. The buildings would be slab-on-grade and have wider doorways so that they are accessible, however, they would not be fully barrier-free. The applicant spoke to the need for rental housing in the Township, particularly newer units with modern amenities. He provided the most recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Market Rental Report, which indicates that the vacancy rate in the Township (Kingston Zone 4 in the report) is 0.6%. https://www.cmhcschl.gc.ca/en/professionals/housing-markets-data-and-research/market-reports/rentalmarket-reports-major-centres. Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment needs to be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The subject property is located in the settlement area of Inverary. Section 5.6 of the Township Official Plan intends to direct a majority of the new growth in the Township to existing settlement areas where it can be supported by appropriate servicing, including community services, commercial uses, parks and schools. A full range and mix of housing types and densities are to be permitted in the settlement area, including single detached dwellings, semi-detached or duplex dwellings, multiple unit dwellings, and single detached dwellings converted to multiple unit dwellings. There is such a mix of housing types in Inverary. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Page 45 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2023-0013, Ireland, Part 1, 13R22753, 0 Moreland-Dixon Road

The subject property is zoned Urban Residential – First Density (UR1). The UR1 zone, which permits a single detached dwelling, is the default zone in settlement areas. This means that any proposal for a use other than a single detached dwelling would require a zoning by-law amendment so that the proposal can be assessed against the applicable Official Plan policies and Zoning By-law provisions. All of the residential zones, regardless of number of dwelling units permitted, require a minimum 0.8 hectare (2 acre) lot area for new lots. The required lot area increases for developments of five or more dwelling units. The subject property was created in 2022, in compliance with minimum lot area and lot frontage requirements. The Planning Act was amended in 2022 by Bill 23 so that on urban residential lands with both municipal water and sewer services, two residential units are allowed in a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse, and an additional residential unit may be permitted in a building or structure ancillary to the house on the same property. Three residential units may also be permitted in houses if there is not one in an ancillary building. Terms used to describe additional residential units include secondary dwelling unit, secondary suite, basement apartment, granny flat and granny suite. Prior to Bill 23, additional residential units were to be permitted everywhere, including rural lands with private servicing. Although not mandated in the Township since both municipal water and sewer services are not currently provided, considering individual requests to permit additional residential units on private services supports the accommodation of a mix of housing options and/or of affordable housing in the Township. Section 5.6.2 of the County of Frontenac Official Plan requires the Township Official Plan to permit additional residential units. While required to permit additional units, the Township retains control over the location, access and servicing required for these units. In the absence of Township Official Plan policies, the Township looks to the information published by the Province in the Second Unit Info Sheet (Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Spring 2017) and to recent amendments to the Planning Act. The Info Sheet describes what an additional residential unit is and provides considerations for where it may be appropriate to permit these units. These considerations include locations on roads that are maintained year-round and accessible by Emergency Services, as well as demonstrating that on-site water and sewage services have sufficient capacity for the additional dwelling unit(s). Road Access and Parking The subject property is located on Moreland-Dixon Road, which is maintained year-round by the Township and is accessible by Emergency Services. The two dwelling units in the www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

single detached dwelling and the third dwelling unit in the accessory building will use the existing driveway for access. There is sufficient area on the property to accommodate parking spaces required for the three dwelling units. The proposed dwelling includes an attached garage that can be used for parking and storing vehicles. Wastewater Services Regarding on-site sewage services, the Owner proposes to install a sewage system to service all three dwelling units. The required sewage system is anticipated to be sized similarly to a large single detached dwelling based on the OBC design calculations for the proposed floor plans (e.g. five bedrooms and three washrooms total). As indicated above, Building Services reviewed the proposal and confirmed that the property is large enough and suitable for the installation of a sewage system. Any sewage system on the property would be setback more than 30 metres from the watercourse that flows north of the property, compliant with the Zoning By-law. Water Services The three dwelling units will be connected to the existing well on the subject property. A hydrogeological study was not required in support of the proposal based on the Township Official Plan policies. The daily design flows calculated for the sewage system will be similar to a large single detached dwelling, which suggests that water usage would also be similar to a large single detached dwelling. The Ontario Well Records Database suggests that well yield and recovery rates vary across the immediate area depending on the location and the depth of the wells. Generally, the deeper the well, the better the yields and greater the recommended pumping rates. Regarding on-site water services, the Provincial Guideline D-5-5 Private Wells: Water Supply Assessment explains how to calculate the minimum pumping test rate and well yield required for a particular development based on a peak demand rate for each person and the likely number of persons (based on number of bedrooms plus one) per well. The Owner provided a copy of a well pump test from a well and water treatment professional that included a professional opinion that the well can produce 13 gallons per minute (59 litres per minute). The pumping rate is greater than that required by the provincial guideline (i.e. 6.5 gallons per minute (30 litres per minute) based on 3.75 litres per minute per person multiplied by 8), which suggests that the existing well can produce an adequate volume of water for the three dwelling units. The pump test also showed that water levels in the well recover quickly. Drinking water quality (potable water) will need to be confirmed as part of the required permit under the Ontario Building Code. Any water quality concerns can generally be addressed through an appropriate water treatment unit. www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

Page 47 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - PL-ZBA-2023-0013, Ireland, Part 1, 13R22753, 0 Moreland-Dixon Road

Housing Density The property is in Inverary settlement area, surrounded by residential properties. There are multi-unit dwellings in Inverary. The existing farm building on the property is proposed to be demolished. The single detached dwelling and accessory building are proposed to be constructed at grade (e.g. slab-on-grade, no steps), making them accessible to a large segment of the population. As indicated by the applicant, the buildings have been designed to look like a typical residential lot with a single detached dwelling and detached accessory garage. The third dwelling unit is proposed to be located within a proposed accessory building to the dwelling on the property. This accessory building is located to the rear of the property, and will be visually screened from most properties along Moreland-Dixon Road by the proposed dwelling. It would be visually screened from the property to the west by the treed fence line. This accessory building exceeds all the applicable UR1 minimum setbacks from property lines. The accessory building would be 7.4 metres in height, which exceeds the maximum 6 metre building height permitted for accessory buildings in the UR1 zone. The additional height is requested to accommodate a higher ceiling and taller doors in the garage portion of the building. The building would be the same height as the single detached dwelling. School Capacity Members of the public were concerned that this proposal, and future similar proposals, would impact the local public school which is thought to be at capacity. Staff note that all school boards are notified of applications for zoning by-law amendment, as well as other application types (e.g., official plan amendment, plans of subdivision). School boards use this information to forecast student enrollment and school needs, including planning for school expansions and new schools. Overall, the proposal would be compatible with the surrounding land uses. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent and conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, the County of Frontenac Official Plan, and the South Frontenac Official Plan, and represents good planning for the subject property.

Township-Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments on Additional Dwelling Units

Summary This report provides Council with information about a Township-initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment. The proposed amendments would define what is an additional dwelling unit, where they are permitted and under what circumstances. The Zoning By-law Amendment would also include general amendments to the Zoning Bylaw Administrator, model homes, seasonal dwellings, and accessory building location.

Recommendation This report is for information only.

Background The Planning Act was amended in 2022 by Bill 23 so that on urban residential lands with both municipal water and sewer services, two residential units are allowed in a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse, and an additional residential unit may be permitted in a building or structure ancillary to the house on the same property. Three residential units may also be permitted in a house if there is not one in an ancillary building. Terms used to describe additional residential units include secondary dwelling unit, secondary suite, basement apartment, granny flat and granny suite. In the Township, the term “additional dwelling unit” is used for consistency with current Zoning By-law terminology. This amendment to the Planning Act does not directly impact the Township as we do not currently provide both municipal water and sewer services. However, the Township Official Plan must still conform to the Frontenac County Official Plan, which requires policies to permit additional residential units. Permitting additional residential units on private services supports the accommodation of a mix of housing options and of potential affordable housing in the Township.

Page 53 of 71 Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Township-Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments on Additional Dwelling Units

Over the last few years, Council approved several applications from residents who requested permission to have additional dwelling units on their properties. Development Services staff heard Council and the public raise concerns about small lot areas and impacts to wells. They have also asked for standards that could be applied consistently to all requests. These standards are required now, as the number of requests is expected to increase. As a result, staff has initiated the process to consider official plan and zoning bylaw amendments to permit additional dwelling units Township-wide. Draft Official Plan Amendment The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to make changes to the current Township’s Official Plan to allow additional dwelling units (for example, secondary suite, garden suite, basement apartment) in conformity with the Frontenac County Official Plan. The draft amendment will add policies to define what is an additional dwelling unit, where they are permitted and under what circumstances. The draft policies build on those in the draft Official Plan. In summary, the draft policies will permit additional dwelling units (ADUs) in houses that are the principal permitted use on properties in the Agricultural, Settlement Area and Rural designations provided that several criteria are satisfied. These criteria include compliance with the Zoning By-law, demonstration that the lot has an adequate supply of potable water and sufficient area for the required sewage system, and prohibition on lands within 90 metres of a waterbody. Please see the attached wording for the list of proposed criteria. The draft policies will also require a hydrogeological study and terrain analysis prepared in support of a plan of subdivision or condominium to account for ADUs. Draft Zoning By-law Amendment - ADUs The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to make changes to Zoning Bylaw No. 2003-75 to implement the proposed Official Plan Amendment on ADUs. The effect will be to specify where ADUs are permitted and under what circumstances. The amendment would establish a Township-wide holding overlay for ADUs. A holding overlay is similar to a holding symbol on a zone (-H) in that conditions need to be satisfied before a building permit can be issued, but a holding overlay applies to a geographic area instead of a property and it only applies to a specific use. The proposed By-law will require a hydrogeological study before a lot is removed from the Holding Overlay and a building permit issued for an ADU. The purpose of the hydrogeological study is to determine that the groundwater quality and quantity is sufficient for the additional dwelling unit and will not adversely impact the water supply of adjacent lots and the principal dwelling. This study would be required regardless of the size of the property, recognizing that there are areas of the Township that have experienced groundwater constraints. The scope (level of detail) of the study could be www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

adjusted for a given circumstance if appropriate. It is estimated that a hydrogeological study costs around $4,500. Such a study would need to be peer reviewed for the Township, as we do not have a hydrogeologist on staff. County staff have indicated that it may be possible to use their peer review hydrogeologist for this purpose. Peer review services fees are expected to cost approximately $500. If Council is supportive of the proposed holding overlay approach, staff will engage a hydrogeologist to prepare a terms of reference for the hydrogeological study so that this reference document is ready for use once a zoning by-law amendment is passed. Lifting a holding symbol currently requires an application for zoning by-law amendment and Council passing a by-law. With Council support, staff would recommend that Council delegate authority to lift holding symbols to the Director of Development Services through by-law. Delegated authority is a tool that Council enabled through the adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 24 on January 10, 2023, and that was approved by County Council in February. The proposed amendment would also address matters such as parking requirements, proximity of detached ADUs to the principal dwelling, and standards for an access pathway to an ADU. See the attached wording for all the proposed provisions. Minor variances for accessory building height are a common request to the Committee of Adjustment. Typically, it is associated with a larger building footprint which necessitates a higher roof line or it is associated with a loft or second storey for storage to minimize building footprint. The Committee granted 29 variances for accessory building height between 2020 and 2023. The building heights ranged from 6.4 metres to 9.4 metres. It is proposed to increase the maximum building height for an accessory building from 6 metres (19.7 feet) to 8 metres (26.2 feet). Increasing the maximum building height would facilitate an ADU over a detached garage without triggering the need for a minor variance thereby streamlining the approval process. Draft Zoning By-law Amendment - Other The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment includes other changes to the By-law. These changes are proposed based on staff experience implementing the Zoning By-law, and on specific circumstances that have arisen.

Change the title of the Zoning By-law Administrator from the Chief Building Official to the Director of Development Services. Council recently approved (in principle) the creation of a new staff position to perform zoning compliance reviews in support of the building permit application process. This service would be provided through Planning Services, which specializes in zoning www.southfrontenac.net Natural, Vibrant and Growing – a Progressive, Rural Leader.

interpretation. It is proposed that the administration of the Zoning By-law be shifted to the Director of Development Services, who can then designate the role to a Senior Planner or Planner. This will allow the Chief Building Official to focus on Ontario Building Code interpretation. 2. Add provisions about model homes. Developers of subdivisions are requesting model home agreements in order to construct a house that would temporarily be used as an office, show room or sales centre to promote the sale of lots in draft approved plans of subdivision. The Township’s solicitor confirmed that unless the zoning by-law permits a model home no building permit can be issued to construct a model home, with or without an agreement. This is because a model home is not a dwelling for the purpose of the Ontario Building Code. The proposed amendment would define “model home” and add zoning standards for where and when they are permitted, and how many could be permitted in a plan of subdivision or condominium. 3. Add seasonal dwelling as a permitted use in the Rural zone. The Township contains a significant number of large rural landholdings, including many which have waterfrontage. These properties are zoned Rural (RU). The RU zone permits a single detached dwelling but not a seasonal dwelling. Staff regularly receive inquiries from individuals who want to construct a seasonal dwelling for a variety of reasons. For example, if it is a waterfront property, and/or there is no access to the electrical grid due to remote location. Some have noted that the Ontario Building Code requirement of an HRV and a high efficiency heating system for a year-round dwelling would translate into an electrical load that is difficult to meet with renewable energy sources. In the Official Plan, both a single detached dwelling and a seasonal dwelling are permitted on lands in the Rural designation. In the Zoning By-law, staff note that a seasonal dwelling is a permitted use in the Waterfront Residential (RW) and Limited Service Residential (RLSW, RLSI) zones that apply to waterfront residential properties, as well as the RLS zone that apply to non-waterfront properties on private lanes. Permitting a seasonal dwelling on RU zoned lands would allow the desired seasonal and recreational usage of properties while still maintaining the form of low-density residential development that is permitted in the RU zone. The proposed amendment would permit a seasonal dwelling in the RU zone. 4. Remove the requirement for accessory detached buildings to be located behind the principal building on a property in certain zones and to instead add a minimum front yard for accessory detached buildings in those zones.

Minor variances to locate an accessory building in the front yard of a principal building are a common request to the Committee of Adjustment. Typically, the request is associated with a large property where the principal building is well setback from the front lot line. The Committee granted 34 variances for accessory buildings in the front yard between 2020 and 2023. The setbacks to the front lot line ranged from 20 to 1200 metres. The proposed amendment would delete the requirement for accessory detached buildings to be located behind the principal building on a property except in the Urban Residential zones and the Residential zone. The proposed amendment would add a standard setback for accessory buildings that is consistent with the required minimum front yard of principal buildings. For example, the principal building and accessory buildings in the RU zone would all need to be setback a minimum of 20 metres from the front lot line. Specifying a front yard setback would recognize the significant variation in front yard depths in rural areas across the Township. The current provision would continue to apply in settlement areas and subdivisions where building densities tend to be greater and building setbacks lesser.

Public Meeting The purpose of this report is to provide information about the proposed amendments to Township Council in advance of a public meeting. The statutory public meeting required by the Planning Act is scheduled for April 4, 2023. Staff will provide a brief presentation about the proposed amendments at the public meeting. After the presentation, staff will address questions from Council, as well as members of the public. Subject to any concerns being raised now by Council or at the public meeting, staff will be making a recommendation to Council regarding the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment at subsequent meetings.

Draft Official Plan Amendment - Additional Dwelling Units The purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to make changes to the current Township’s Official Plan to allow additional dwelling units (for example, secondary suite, garden suite, basement apartment) in conformity with the Frontenac County Official Plan. The amendment will add policies to define what is an additional dwelling unit, where they are permitted and under what circumstances. A. Add new Section 6.28 Additional Dwelling Units: 6.28 Additional Dwelling Units 6.28.1 Additional dwelling units (ADUs) are self-contained residential units with their own kitchen, bathroom facilities, and sleeping areas within dwellings or within structures accessory to a dwelling. ADUs are also known as accessory apartments, basement apartments, or in-law suites. ADUs are encouraged as a means of providing a diversity of housing options in the Township. 6.28.2 ADUs are permitted on lands where a single detached dwelling, semidetached dwelling, or townhouse is the permitted principal use in the Agricultural, Settlement Area and Rural designations, provided that: a) The ADU and the lot comply with all applicable provisions of the Zoning By-law; b) It is demonstrated that the lot has an adequate supply of potable water and sufficient land area for the required sewage system to the satisfaction of the Township; c) The ADU is located within the principal dwelling unit or a detached accessory structure; d) The ADU is designed and located in such a manner to avoid adverse impacts on the residential character of the property and the surrounding neighbourhood; e) The ADU is not a stand-alone unit capable of being severed; f) A detached ADU shall be located in proximity to the principal dwelling unit; g) The ADU is not larger than the principal dwelling unit and is limited in size;

Page 1 of 2

Page 59 of 71 Township of South Frontenac PL-OPA-2023-0030 March 2023 h) Parking for the ADU is provided in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning By-law; i) The ADU is addressed in accordance with the Township’s civic addressing by-law; j) The lot has direct access from a year-round maintained publicly owned road, or a private road within an approved plan of condominium, or a private lane that has been constructed to Township standards and that is maintained year-round. For a private lane, the Township will require documentation demonstrating how year-round maintenance is provided; k) The lands are not located within 90 metres of the highwater mark of a waterbody; l) The lands are not located within 300 metres of a highly sensitive (atcapacity) lake trout lake; and m) The lands are not located in a floodplain. 6.28.3 The zoning by-law will control additional dwelling units based on lot size requirements, servicing constraints related to water and sewage, and the other criteria outlined in Section 6.28 of the Official Plan. B. Add policy to Section 7.2 General Policies for Plans of Subdivision: 7.2(d)(i) The supporting hydrogeological study and terrain analysis should account for the inclusion of up to two additional dwelling units on each lot. C. Add policy to Section 7.3 General Policies for Plans of Condominium: 7.3(d)(i) The supporting hydrogeological study and terrain analysis should account for the inclusion of up to two additional dwelling units on each unit.

Draft Zoning By-law Amendment The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to make changes to Zoning By-law No. 2003-75 to implement the proposed Official Plan Amendment on additional dwelling units (file PL-OPA-2023-0030). The effect will be to specify where additional dwelling units are permitted and under what circumstances. It will also establish a Township-wide holding overlay for additional dwelling units. The proposed By-law will require a hydrogeological study before a lot is removed from the Holding Overlay and a building permit issued for an additional dwelling unit. The proposed By-law would also increase the maximum building height for an accessory building with the intent to facilitate an additional dwelling unit over a detached garage. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would also include general amendments to: (1) change the title of the Zoning By-law administrator, in order to shift this role to Planning Services through the Director of Development Services; (2) add provisions about model homes, in order to permit model homes prior to subdivision registration; (3) add seasonal dwelling as a permitted use in the Rural zone, acknowledging that there are large rural landholdings in the Township that can only practically be used on a seasonal basis due to remote location or lack of hydro services; and (4) remove the requirement for accessory detached buildings to be located behind the principal building on a property in certain zones and to instead add a minimum front yard for accessory detached buildings in those zones, in order to have a standard setback for accessory buildings in recognition of the significant variation in front yard depths across the Township. A. Regarding Zoning Administration:

Delete and Replace Section 4.1: This By-law shall be administered by a person appointed by the Council of the Township of South Frontenac as the Chief Building Official. Add “This By-law shall be administered and enforced by the Director of Development Services or their designate.” B. Regarding Model Homes:
Add the following definition to Section 3 Definitions: “Model Home shall mean a single detached house, semi-detached house or townhouse used temporarily for the purpose of an office and/or show room and/or sales centre to promote the sale of residential units within a draft approved plan of Page 1 of 10

Page 61 of 71 Township of South Frontenac PL-ZBA-2023-0031 March 2023 subdivision under the Planning Act or a description under the Condominium Act, 1998 proposed for registration.” 2. Delete and Replace Section 5.4 Holding Zones: Where any zone symbol as shown on the attached schedules is followed by the symbol “H”, this signifies that only existing uses are permitted and no person shall use the land for any new use or erect, alter or enlarge any building or structure on said lands until such time as the holding symbol has been removed by the Township in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act. Add new text: “5.4.1 Holding Overlays are created by identifying specific lands on Schedules A to H and “#” of this By-law and have the effect of restricting the development or use of a lot or building in accordance with the corresponding provisions until this By-law has been amended to remove the lot from the Holding Overlay in accordance with Section 36 of the Planning Act. 5.4.2 A lot that is subject to a Holding Symbol (-H) may only be developed for the following purposes until such time as the Holding Symbol is removed: 5.4.2.1 Uses that legally existed on the date of the passing of this By-law; 5.4.2.2 A model home in accordance with Section 5.48.” 3. Amend Section 5.25 Frontage on a Street: Add the following phrase to the end of Section 5.25.1 “or to Model Home(s) where a Model Home Agreement has been executed by the owner and the Township on a lot prior to registration of the plan of subdivision subject to the regulations of Section 5.48” so that it reads: 5.25.1 No person shall erect any building or structure in any zone unless the lot upon which such building or structure is to be erected fronts upon a street. For the purposes of this By-law a street does not include an unopened road allowance, a private lane, a right-of-way or an un-assumed road on a Registered Plan which has been deemed not to be a Registered Plan under the Planning Act. The above provisions shall not apply to prohibit the erection of any building on a lot on a registered plan of subdivision where a subdivision agreement has been entered into but the streets will not be assumed until the end of the maintenance period, or to Model Home(s) where a Model Home Agreement has been executed by the owner and

Page 62 of 71 Township of South Frontenac PL-ZBA-2023-0031 March 2023 the Township on a lot prior to registration of the plan of subdivision subject to the regulations of Section 5.48. 4. Add new Section 5.48 Model Homes: “Where a Model Home Agreement or a Subdivision Agreement permitting the construction of model homes has been executed by the owner and the Township, more than one single detached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling or townhouse may be constructed on a lot prior to registration of the plan of subdivision under the Planning Act or a description under the Condominium Act, 1998, subject to the following provisions: 5.48.1 The use must be permitted in the underlying Zone in which the single detached dwelling, semi-detached dwelling or townhouse is to be located; 5.48.2 The model home must not be occupied as a dwelling unit prior to the date of the registration of the subdivision plan or condominium plan; 5.48.3 The maximum number of model homes within one plan of subdivision under the Planning Act or a description under the Condominium Act, 1998 proposed for registration is equal to 10% of the total number of lots intended for single detached house, semi-detached house or townhouse purposes within the plan or description for registration, to a maximum of 10 model homes; 5.48.4 The model home must comply with all other provisions of this By-law, as though constructed on the lot within the registered plan of subdivision under the Planning Act or the description under the Condominium Act, 1998; and 5.48.5 The model home must comply with all applicable terms and conditions of the Model Home Agreement or Subdivision Agreement or Condominium Agreement, as applicable.” C. Regarding Seasonal Dwellings:

Add Seasonal Dwelling as a permitted use to Section 7.2 Permitted Uses in the Rural Zone. D. Regarding Accessory Buildings:
Amend Section 5.24.2 as follows: 5.24.2 Except as otherwise may be specified in this by-law, In an Urban Residential zone and a Residential zone, any accessory building which is Page 3 of 10

Page 63 of 71 Township of South Frontenac PL-ZBA-2023-0031 March 2023 not part of the main building shall be erected to the rear of the projected front or exterior side wall of the main building. Where accessory buildings are located behind the main buildings, they shall be located in accordance with the provisions of the particular zone. 2. Amend Section 5.24.3 as follows: 5.24.3 No person shall use an accessory building for human habitation except where a dwelling is permitted as an accessory building, or where an additional dwelling unit is permitted by this By-law. Accessory buildings and structures are permitted to be used as general living areas, including but not limited to an amenity area, study, den, living room, recreational space, studio, home office or home occupation. For clarity, an accessory building used as a general living area is not considered a bedroom. 3. Delete Section 5.24.6: 5.24.6 The minimum distance between any building on a lot including accessory buildings and principal buildings shall be 3.0 metres (9.8 ft.) and in no case shall any overhang, eaves or gutter project into this required minimum area which shall be clear of any obstruction from the ground to the sky. 4.

Add the following definition to Section 3 Definitions: Additional Dwelling Unit shall mean a dwelling unit, which is accessory to a principal dwelling, and is located on the same lot as the principal dwelling.
Add the following sentence to the end of the definition of Dwelling, Semi-detached: “The addition of an additional dwelling unit to a semi-detached dwelling does not change a semi-detached dwelling into any other type of building.”
Add the following sentence to the end of the definition of Dwelling, Single detached: “The addition of an additional dwelling unit to a single detached dwelling does not change a single detached dwelling into any other type of building.”
Add the following provision to Section 5.30 Offstreet Parking Provision: 5.30.1.1 (a) one (1) space for each additional dwelling unit
Add the following text to 5.30.2.1: 5.30.2.1 Each parking space must have a width of not less than 2.7 metres (8.9 ft.) and a length of not less than 6 metres (19.7 ft.) and must be readily accessible at all times and arranged in such a manner to provide access and manoeuvring space for the parking and removal of a motor vehicle without the necessity of moving any other motor vehicle, except that this shall not apply in the case of a single detached dwelling, a semi-detached dwelling or an additional dwelling unit.
Add new Section 5.49 Additional Dwelling Units: 5.49.1 Additional dwelling units must comply with this Subsection and all other applicable provisions of this By-law. 5.49.2 Location of Additional Dwelling Units Additional dwelling units are only permitted as an accessory use to the following principal buildings, if such building is listed as a permitted use in the applicable Zone: a. Single detached dwelling; or b. Semi-detached dwelling. 5.49.3 Additional dwelling units are prohibited: a. On lands that are located in a floodplain; Page 7 of 10

Page 67 of 71 Township of South Frontenac PL-ZBA-2023-0031 March 2023 b. On lands within 90 metres of the highwater mark of a waterbody; c. On lands within 300 metres of the highwater mark of a highly sensitive (at-capacity) lake trout lake; or d. On a lot containing two or more principal dwelling units, a garden suite or a boarding house. 5.49.4 In accordance with section 5.4, a Holding Overlay has been established in the area identified as “Additional Dwelling Unit Holding Overlay – Water Supply/Water Quality” on Schedule “#”. The Holding Overlay on Schedule “#” applies to the development of one or more additional dwelling units. Prior to the removal of any lot from a Holding Overlay and the issuance of a building permit for an additional dwelling unit, the following conditions must be satisfied: 5.49.4.1 A Hydrogeological Study is to be completed to the satisfaction of the Township from an independent qualified professional (P.Eng.) or geoscientist (P.Geo). to determine that the groundwater quality and quantity is sufficient for the additional dwelling unit and will not adversely impact the water supply of adjacent lots and the principal dwelling. The Hydrogeological Study must be completed in accordance with the Township’s Standard for Hydrogeological Assessments. Adjustments to the requirements of a full hydrogeological study to demonstrate the suitability of private water supply may be considered by the Township. The Hydrogeological Study must also assess sewage system impact and demonstrate that: a. The area of development is not hydrogeologically sensitive; and b. The private sewage system is isolated from the receiving aquifer, or the impact of the principal dwelling plus the additional dwelling unit is less than 10 milligrams per litre nitrate-nitrogen at the property boundary. 5.49.4.2 Approval of the private sewage system must be obtained from the applicable approval authority. 5.49.5 General Provisions for Additional Dwelling Units Where permitted in accordance with Sections 5.49.1. to 5.49.4., additional dwelling units must comply with the following provisions: 5.49.5.1 A maximum of two additional dwelling units are permitted per lot. 5.49.5.2 Where two additional dwelling units are located on one lot:

A maximum of one detached additional dwelling unit is permitted; or c. A maximum of two additional dwelling units may be attached to or located within the principal building if no accessory building contains any dwelling units. 5.49.5.3 For the purpose of establishing a detached additional dwelling unit, the existing dwelling unit is considered the principal dwelling. 5.49.5.4 Additional dwelling units must be connected to municipal or private water and sewage services to the satisfaction of the Township. 5.49.5.5 The maximum gross floor area of an additional dwelling unit shall be less than or equal to the gross floor area of the principal dwelling. 5.49.5.6 Where an additional dwelling unit is in a detached accessory building, the additional dwelling unit must be located within 40 metres of the principal dwelling. 5.49.5.7 The additional dwelling unit shall share the driveway entrance to the lot with the primary dwelling. 5.49.5.8 Parking shall be provided in accordance with Section 5.30 of this By-law. 5.49.5.9 Where an additional dwelling unit is attached to or located within the primary dwelling, the additional dwelling unit must have a separate exterior entrance located at the side, rear or front of the primary dwelling. A separate entrance may also be provided through a joint entrance vestibule within the principal dwelling. 5.49.5.10 The exterior entrance to an additional dwelling unit that is within a principal dwelling and is located at the side or rear of the principal dwelling, and the exterior entrance of an additional dwelling unit in a detached accessory building, shall be accessed by a minimum 1.2 metre wide unobstructed pathway provided from the front of the principal dwelling building or the front lot line. For the purposes of this Section, a pathway is defined as a hard surface treated pathway that is separately delineated from the driveway and provides pedestrian access. Unobstructed means no obstructions to a height of up to 2.3 metres. This provision shall not prevent the establishment of a gate to access the rear yard. Page 9 of 10

Page 69 of 71 Township of South Frontenac PL-ZBA-2023-0031 March 2023 5.49.6 Additional dwelling units are exempt from provisions that: a. Establish the maximum number of dwelling units on a lot; and b. Establish the minimum lot area per dwelling unit on a lot.
