January 17, 2018 Urban Design Committee Report UDC-18-02

Report to: Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake Urban Design Committee Subject: 493-507 Line 2 Road – medical centre – preliminary review 1. RECOMMENDATION Planning staff recommends that with respect to the consent application: As this proposal is coming before the Committee for preliminary review, recommendations will be limited to preliminary comments on for the site plan. Staff note that when an application has been submitted and circulated for review, the applicant will return to the Committee for formal review. 2. PURPOSE / PROPOSAL Applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Approval will be submitted at a later time for a medical centre to be located on the property known municipally as 4983-507 Line 2 Road. The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary comments on the submitted materials, which include a site plan and floor plans. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 Site description and surrounding land uses The subject property is located within the urban area of Virgil, immediately abutting Crossroads Public School. The property is located on the corner lot that is bound by Line 2 Road to the north and Niagara Stone Road on the south. The surrounding land uses are institutional, and residential to the west of Niagara Stone Road, and industrial and commercial to the east of Niagara Stone Road. 4. DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS The applicant has submitted the following for the Committee to review:

• Site plan • Floor plans

4.1 Site plan 4.1.1 Building location and orientation The site plan indicates that a commercial building will be built towards the southern property line, adjacent to the parking lot of

Department of Community & Development Services 1593 Four Mile Creek Road P.O. Box 100, Virgil, ON L0S 1T0 905-468-3266 • Fax: 905-468-0301

www.notl.org

Figure 1: Location map

Cross Roads Public School. Staff encourage buildings, at corner lots, to be oriented at the two public roads with architecturally articulated elevations at these two roads. Staff seek clarity from the applicant as to the rationale behind locating the building where it is. Staff also seek the Committee’s advice on the location of the building. Building elevations should be included in the formal submission for the Committee to review.

4.1.2 Parking A parking area is located at the northern and eastern portions of the property. A total of 178 spaces are provided. Staff recommend that parking be oriented towards the rear of the property and screened from view along Niagara Stone Road. Staff seek the Committee’s advice on the parking configuration. 4.1.3 Landscape The landscaping, as shown on the site plan, provides street trees along Line 2 Road with smaller plantings along Niagara Stone Road. Staff recommend that landscaping should be emphasized along Niagara Stone Road to 1) provide visual interest from a pedestrian perspective and 2) to screen the parking area. Staff seek the Committee’s advice on the types of plantings that should be recommended along Niagara Stone Road. A landscape plan should be included in the formal submission for the Committee to review. 4.2 Floor plans The floor plans provided show that a two-storey building is proposed. The first floor for both floor plan options is the same. Therefore, the only difference is the layout for the second floor. Staff seek clarity from the applicant as to what the large central open area is in option 2. Judging from what is indicated in option 1, it may be a waiting area for patients. Staff do not have a preference for which option is selected, however seek the Committee’s advice on a preferred option. 5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Fees will be collected upon receipt of planning applications. Additional fees will be collected at building permit stage. There are no cost implications to the Town associated with this proposal.

7. CONCLUSION Staff recommend that the urban design materials generally be supported, subject to the advice of the Committee. Once a formal application has been submitted, the applicant will return with more materials for the Committee to review.
