6.1 Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing
Node Intensification Study
D. Jacobs, Principal Planner — Policy, appeared
before the Committee to provide members with an
overview of the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty
Retailing Node Intensification Study. He provided
background information on the study which began in
2017 with approvals from Council to have consultants
prepare a land use and urban design study.
Through the aid of a Power Point presentation, the
key steps and elements was outlined as well as the
location of the lands. He noted that through a
community survey conducted, the Kingston Road
Corridor was identified as a major connector road and
priority area for intensification. The study area was
outlined, which is divided into 4 precincts, identified
as Rougemount, Whites, Dunbarton/Liverpool, and
Brock. Mr. Jacobs noted that the first phase looked
at existing conditions, servicing and built form, noting
it was predominately retail, not very walkable, with a
lack of greenspace. He noted this process
culminated in the creation of the background report,
beginning with the vision and objectives, with Phase
2 developing different development scenarios.
Mr. Jacobs noted that four properties had been
identified as having historical significance within the
study area; 301 Kingston Road, 1 Evelyn Lane, St.
Pauls Anglican Church, and Post Manor.
Mr. Jacobs continued his presentation by outinling
the vision statement and key inputs, which included
the expectations of developers and looking at vacant
and underutilized sites for redevelopment. He
indicated the key features of Connectivity as well as
Place -Making, noting this was a critical element in

order to create a sense of community. He also
outlined Land Use and Built form, explaining building
heights. He also indicated that a public consultation
and open house had been conducted in 2018, with
two scenarios being developed.
The 4 precincts were outlined as follows:
Rougemount
• Consists of many small parcels
• Gateways of Altona Road & Rougemount
• Will have less of an impact to the north
Whites
• Transit corridors converge — capitalize here
• Ideal opportunity for future office development
• Higher building heights can be considered
along south side
• Better connectivity created through blocks
• Residents indicated a desire for additional
open space and parks
Dunbarton/Liverpool
• Narrower section
• New public road being proposed by Home
Depot
• Outlined future connection to Liverpool Road
• Identified Regional flood plain area which is
prone to flooding and will require further
analysis
Brock
• Current landowners have submitted plans and
are looking at concepts
• Proposed huge central park
• Heights taper down to established
neighbourhoods
• Area consists of big box stores with long term
leases, redevelopment to be done in phases
Also outlined in the presentation of each of the four
precincts, was the proposed ratio of people to jobs.

In closing, Mr. Jacobs outlined the next steps which
would involve the consultant's preparation of urban
design guidelines and an intensification plan. He
stated that a further open house would be conducted
later this year, and if endorsed by Council, the City
could proceed with OPA and Zoning By-law
amendments.
A question period ensued as follows;
• What is the proposed total ratio of people to
jobs?
• Are formal comments required at this time
from Committee members?
• What is the heritage status of the four
properties indicated within the study area?
• What is the intent with respect to the Manor
House, would it be kept intact?
• Would the study include a section to deal with
heritage properties?
• Would the need for hospital/school/seniors be
considered?

accommodated
• No consideration being given to job creation,
only concentration seems to be on residential
• Timeline for moving forward with the
designation process

designation

concern is with respect to this property
