SUBJECT:

Official Plan Amendment to redesignate the Proposed Armadale West Industrial Area

File No.  OP.01-102884

 

 

 


 

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the report entitled “Official Plan Amendment to redesignate the Proposed Armadale West Industrial Area” dated 2004-04-06, be received;

 

AND THAT staff be authorized to modify and update the April 2001 draft Official Plan and Secondary Plan Amendment to incorporate any minor amendments appropriate to address the issues raised in this report;

 

AND THAT a further Public Meeting be held to consider the proposed revised Official Plan and Secondary Plan Amendment to redesignate the subject lands from URBAN RESIDENTIAL to INDUSTRIAL to permit certain Business Corridor Area uses along the 14th Avenue frontage and General Industrial Area uses to the rear;

 

AND THAT notice of the Public Meeting be published in the Markham Economist and Sun, in accordance with the Planning Act requirement, and that notices also be mailed to all owners of property within 120m of the site as shown on the last revised assessment roll;

 

AND FURTHER THAT prior to the Public Meeting, a further meeting be held with the owners of land within the proposed Amendment area.

 

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to respond to Council’s request for a report which addresses the issues raised at the April 2001 public meeting regarding the Town-initiated Official Plan and Secondary Plan Amendment to redesignate lands on the north side of 14th Avenue east of McCowan Road for appropriate business corridor and general industrial uses.  In addition, the report includes recommendations to move forward with the proposed redesignation.

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Recent studies have shown that the Town has a very limited supply of land available to accommodate single and mixed-function, low-rise industrial-style buildings accommodating employment land employment (ELE).  Many of the users of these types of buildings help to support the Town’s existing and future high-tech industries.  The proposed Armadale West Industrial Area is an appropriate and needed expansion to the Travail Road industrial area.   The rapid growth of the Travail Road area for employment uses is evidence of recent demand for lands in this eastern Markham location. 

 

Both the Planning and Urban Design Department and the Economic Development Department recommend proceeding with the redesignation of the lands east of the Travail Road subdivision to permit certain Business Corridor Area uses along the 14th Avenue frontage, and General Industrial Area uses along the CNR line to the rear.  The Town has an established reputation for the development of high quality employment areas.  The concerns raised by the public at the April 2001 meeting can be addressed through the use of appropriate secondary plan policy, zoning provisions, design guidelines and the Town’s development approvals process.  Given the passage of time since the previous consideration of this proposal, a further meeting with the owners of land within the proposed amendment area, and a new public meeting are appropriate.  Direction from the Committee is required regarding any special notice requirements.

 

BACKGROUND:

The proposed 26.8 ha employment area is currently vacant and designated URBAN RESI-DENTIAL in the Official Plan

The subject lands consist of five properties (approximately 26.8 ha) located on the north side of 14th Avenue, between Father Michael McGivney Catholic Academy, and the Travail Road industrial subdivision.  To the north are the CN rail line, and the Ontario Hydro and Hwy 407 corridors.  To the south across 14th Avenue is a residential neighbourhood.  To the southeast are vacant lands designated INDUSTRIAL (see Figure 3).

 

The Official Plan designates the subject lands as URBAN RESIDENTIAL.  The Secondary Plan for the area (PD 24-1) designates the lands as Low Density Residential, Neighbourhood Park, Community Park and Separate Secondary School (see Figure 5 attached).   In a separate report dated April 6, 2004, staff recommend that Council hold a public meeting to consider a technical Amendment to the Secondary Plan for the Armadale Planning District which would have the effect of relocating the Community Park symbol from within this area to the actual site of the community park that has been built northeast of Denison Street and Middlefield Road.

 

The Employment Lands Strategy Study recommended that these lands be considered for redesignation for employment uses

The subject lands have been designated URBAN RESIDENTIAL since 1982.  There have been no residential development applications for the subject lands.  Over the years, there have been several applications to permit industrial uses. 

 

The Employment Lands Strategy Study, completed in February 2000, concluded that Markham needs to designate additional employment land to meet employment objectives and non-residential assessment growth targets to 2021.  One of the locations within the urban area which the study recommended should be considered for redesignation for employment uses was this undeveloped area on the north side of 14th Avenue adjoining the Travail Road industrial area.

 

In 2001 Council initiated and deferred consideration of an Amendment to permit employment uses on these lands

With the agreement of the property owners, the Town initiated an Official Plan and Secondary Plan Amendment in 2001 to redesignate the subject lands from URBAN RESIDENTIAL to INDUSTRIAL.  On March 6, 2001, Development Services Committee directed staff to prepare a draft Amendment, and call a statutory Public Meeting to consider the proposed Amendment.  The public meeting was held in April 2001.  The effect of the proposed Amendment for the Armadale West Industrial Area would have been to:

1.      permit appropriate Business Corridor Area uses along the 14th Avenue frontage,

2.      permit General Industrial Area uses adjacent to the railway line,

3.      revise park designations no longer applicable (i.e. the community park had been constructed elsewhere), and

4.      recognize the actual site configuration of the adjacent secondary school use. 

A copy of the draft Amendment considered at the Public Meeting is attached (Appendix A).  

 

At the Public Meeting, area residents raised the following issues with respect to the proposed redesignation:

  1. Is there a need for additional employment land;
  2. Is there a need for additional employment land at this location;
  3. Inequitable distribution of industrial lands within the Town;
  4. Traffic/ safety issues associated with the high school;
  5. Inappropriate land uses locating next to the school;
  6. Increased truck traffic on 14th Avenue;
  7. Incompatibility between industrial uses and residential uses and the uncertainty regarding the nature of future industrial uses;
  8. Need for a Community Park north of 14th Avenue as identified in the Secondary Plan; and,
  9. Inadequate notice of the Public Meeting.

 

One letter, an email and a petition were submitted in opposition to the proposed redesignation and were received by Committee at the Public Meeting.  No specific issues were identified in either the petition or the letter.  The minutes of the Public Meeting, and a copy of the email received are attached (Appendices B and C). 

 

Subsequent to the Public Meeting, Council resolved that the Town-initiated amendment to redesignate the subject lands be deferred and combined with the Town-wide Employment Lands Study.

 

Additional staff analysis of employment land supply has confirmed a shortage of land for employment land employment

In May 2002 Council received a further report from staff regarding the constrained land supply for employment uses.  That report concluded that there is an imbalance between projected employment growth and the available supply of land for  employment, both in the short and long term.  Whereas the existing supply of designated INDUSTRIAL land would accommodate forecast major office employment (MOE) growth within the time horizon of the current Official Plan (to 2011), the existing land supply would only accommodate about 40% of the short term forecast growth in employment land employment (ELE) (see Issue No. 1 below).  In the longer term, beyond 2011, additional employment land supply will be required for both MOE and ELE. 

 

The May 2002 staff report also evaluated several opportunities within the urban area to redesignate land to accommodate the short term need for additional employment land.  The 26 ha of land on the north side of 14th Avenue was identified as one of the potential locations within the urban boundary to provide additional employment land in the short term.

 

In May 2002 Council received the staff report regarding employment land supply and authorized steps towards the redesignation of some areas which could accommodate longer term employment land needs (e.g. the Box Grove Secondary Plan, and the Cornell Secondary Plan update).  The staff recommendation that the Official Plan Amendment for the proposed employment area on the north side of 14th Avenue be reconsidered by Committee was not adopted at that time.  Council requested a further information report regarding the proposed Armadale West Industrial Area, addressing the issues raised at the April 2001 Public Meeting.  Each of the issues raised at the Public Meeting are addressed below.

 

DISCUSSION:

Issue No. 1:  Is there a need for additional employment land

Members of the public questioned if there is already sufficient vacant land designated for employment use.

Both the Employment Lands Strategy Study completed in 2000, and subsequent analyses have confirmed a shortage of land within the Town to accommodate employment land employment to 2011.  As shown in Table 1 below, over 50% of Markham’s total forecast employment growth to

* including Box Grove, adopted June 2002

 

2011 is employment land employment.   The demand for single and mixed-function, low-rise industrial-style buildings accommodating employment land employment, is projected to increase in the evolving economy.   Many Markham companies, including those in the “high-tech” sectors, prefer single storey, flexible buildings which accommodate their evolving range of business activities.  Uses which occupy these low rise building forms are complementary and supportive of uses which choose to locate in multi-storey office structures (major office employment).  A March 2004 analysis (undertaken by staff in conjunction with the development charges review) has shown that the current designated supply of land suitable for employment land employment is sufficient for only approximately two years of employment land employment growth, and only half of that land is market-ready.  The Employment Lands Strategy Study concluded that if additional land to accommodate this type of development is not designated on a continuing basis and brought to the market for development in a timely manner, the Town will not maintain its competitive position within the GTA employment market.

 

The Economic Development Department has confirmed the immediate need for additional land for the type of buildings required for employment land employment - both large and small floor plate, single and mixed-function, low-rise industrial-style buildings.  The Economic Development Department has advised that the consensus in the real estate community is that there is a serious shortage of employment land available in Markham, and that Markham is losing opportunities to other municipalities due to a lack of available land.  This reduces the Town’s competitive position to attract both new employment land employment as well as office employment.

 

Issue No. 2:  Is there a need for additional employment land at this location

The rapid growth of the Travail Road subdivision since 1999 is evidence of the recent demand for, and the suitability of, lands in this area to accommodate employment land employment. Virtually all of the adjacent Travail Road subdivision has been developed in the last four years for single and mixed function, low-rise (1 to 2 storey) office and industrial uses (ELE). Development applications have been submitted for all but one of the remaining three vacant lots.  Between 1999 and 2003, the Travail Road subdivision added 78,000 sq.m. (840,000 sq ft) of development on 17 ha, and additional approvals are in process.  Many of the original lots in the subdivision have been combined to form larger building lots to accommodate buildings with large floor plates.  The range of building and lot sizes illustrates the variety of land requirements for Markham’s employment land employers.  The area includes buildings ranging from 2,500 sq m to over 17,000 sq m., on lots ranging from 0.6 ha to 4.7 ha in size.

 

The land with the greatest potential to provide additional employment land employment opportunities within the urban area in the short term is the subject proposed Armadale West Industrial Area. These lands represent a logical extension to the adjoining employment district, have easy accessibility to Hwy 407 at both the McCowan Road and Markham Road interchanges, and can be readily serviced.  The proposed Armadale West Industrial Area is ideally suited for early development for employment land employment.  

 

Redesignation of land outside of the Town’s urban boundary to accommodate additional INDUSTRIAL land is on hold pending resolution of Bill 27 (Greenbelt Protection Act 2003).

 

Other land identified within the urban area with potential for redesignation to INDUSTRIAL is summarized in Table 2.  The Town is continuing to pursue secondary plan studies to implement additional employment areas in the Hwy 404, Hwy407/Rodick and Cornell south areas.  The time frame for these lands to reach the market and their potential to accommodate employment land employment varies.  In any case, the overall requirement for additional land for employment land employment cannot be met through these lands alone.

There is a proven market for employment land in this south eastern Markham location. The lack of development of the designated INDUSTRIAL land on the south side of 14th Avenue east of Middlefield Road is due to landowner decisions relating to the timing of bringing the lands to the market, not due to a lack of demand for employment land.  Both the vacant designated lands on the south side of 14th Avenue and the proposed Armadale West Industrial Area are required to address (at least in part) the Town’s shortage of industrial lands to 2011. The development of both of these areas will also help to increase the viability of the existing eastern Markham employment district.

 

Issue No. 3:  Inequitable distribution of industrial lands within the Town

One of the submissions at the time of the Public Meeting suggested that there was a disproportionate amount of non-residential land use in Markham Centre (Appendix C).  It appears that there is some confusion here, as the subject area is not in Markham Centre, but rather, is in the Armadale community.  The Armadale Planning District (which extends from approximately Brimley Road on the west, the railway and Hydro corridor on the north, the Rouge River on the east, and Steeles Avenue on the South) is predominately residential and does not appear to incorporate a disproportionate share of non-residential land use.

 

Decisions relating to the appropriate location of industrial and office land use are based not only on distribution of these uses throughout the Town to meet live-work objectives, but also ensuring that employment lands are designated at locations with the attributes needed for a successful business community, such as:  proximity to other employment activities; access to arterial roads and provincial highways; proximity to markets; and an appropriate interface with adjacent uses.  The 14th Avenue lands exhibit each of these attributes.

 

The development of these lands for employment purposes represents the only opportunity available and marketable in the short term for new live-work opportunities east of Kennedy Road in the Town of Markham.  The development of these lands for non-residential uses would not, however, negatively impact the Town’s short term residential land supply.

 

 

Issue No. 4:  Traffic/ safety issues associated with the high school.

Area residents expressed concern regarding the impact of additional traffic from employment uses on the safety of students accessing Father Michael McGivney Catholic Academy.  However, the school board has not expressed concerns with respect to the traffic generated by the redesignation of these lands for employment purposes.

 

Students driving to Father Michael McGivney Catholic Academy currently access the school from a driveway off McCowan Road at the north end of the school, or from a driveway off 14th Avenue at the east end of the school.  Pedestrians are expected to cross 14th Avenue at the lights at McCowan and 14th Avenue, however some students do not always comply, resulting in pedestrian and vehicular conflicts.  The proposed development could help to improve the existing situation by ensuring that vehicular traffic to and from 14th Avenue and pedestrian traffic to and from the residential community to the southeast of the school, is directed to a future signalized intersection at Coppard and14th Avenues.

 

The development concept for the proposed Armadale West Industrial Area includes a new north/south road opposite Coppard Avenue (See Figure 6).  In 1991, the School Board provided an undertaking to the Town to revise access to the school site once a north/south road to the east is available, by:

  1. acquiring (through negotiation or expropriation), the necessary access right-of-way between the school and the future north/south road leading to 14th Avenue; and
  2. restricting movements at their existing 14th Avenue access to right-in/right-out only.

 

The Engineering Group has confirmed that the spacing between the Coppard Avenue intersection and the lights at both McCowan Road and Featherstone Ave is sufficient to allow for a signal at the Coppard and 14th Avenues intersection, subject to the approval of the Region.  The proposed Secondary Plan policies should be clarified to include a provision requiring that, prior to approval of applications for development in this area, traffic analysis be undertaken in co-operation with the Region to ensure appropriate signalization at this intersection. 

 

Issue No. 5:  Inappropriate land uses locating next to high school

The public expressed concern regarding the appropriateness of industrial uses adjacent to a high school. 

 

The proposal to designate these lands INDUSTRIAL was circulated to the school board in 2001.  At that time, the school board advised that they have no objection to industrial uses, however they identified the following commercial uses as non-compatible in proximity to a high school:  place of entertainment, video store, place of amusement, motel/hotel, beer or liquor store, and tavern.  The proposed Secondary Plan Amendment was drafted in 2001 to ensure that the uses identified by the school board would not be permitted within 300m of the high school.  In addition the proposed Amendment included urban design policies requiring an attractive and compatible interface between the proposed employment area and the school, through building design and orientation, landscaping, noise attenuation features, and similar means.

 

Issue No. 6:  Increased Truck traffic on 14th Avenue  

The proposed employment area is separated from the existing residential community to the south by a Regional Arterial Road with a planned width of up to 36m.   Regional roads are designed and intended to accommodate a full range of vehicle traffic, including trucks. Trucks are typically restricted from the local road system and directed to the larger capacity arterial road and provincial highway network.  Projections indicate that even without the development of the vacant lands on the north side of 14th Avenue, traffic (including trucks) moving through Markham on 14th Avenue will continue to increase.

 

Issue No. 7:  Incompatibility between industrial uses and residential uses and the uncertainty regarding the nature of future industrial uses.

In order to promote live/work opportunities, the Town has numerous areas where lands designated URBAN RESIDENTIAL are adjacent to lands designated INDUSTRIAL.  In some cases these uses are not separated by a road, whereas in this instance a Regional Arterial Road (14th Avenue) will separate the uses.  The Town of Markham has a proven record of achieving, through its development approval processes, attractive, high quality employment areas accommodating a mix of employment uses and displaying high quality of urban design.  The high quality industrial/office uses in the Town’s newer employment areas have been found to be generally compatible with adjacent residential uses, especially where the traffic serving the employment area can be separated from local residential traffic.  Uses permitted in the Town’s employment areas are regulated by the Town’s Official Plan policies, and further refined in the Town’s Secondary Plans and Zoning Bylaws.  In addition to identifying specific permitted uses, the Town’s zoning by-laws include an extensive list of prohibited/obnoxious industrial uses. 

 

The proposed Official Plan Amendment would redesignate the lands to permit appropriate Business Corridor Area uses along the 14th Avenue frontage, and General Industrial Area uses adjoining the CNR Line to the north.  The uses permitted in these designations are identified in the Town’s Official Plan, and further refined in implementing Secondary Plans and zoning bylaws.  The Business Corridor Area designation of the Official Plan is intended to accommodate a mix of high quality business activities in corridors along major roads within or at the periphery of, employment areas.  These corridors permit light industrial uses, as well as certain commercial activities that benefit from locating on major transportation routes.  Business Corridor Areas are specifically prohibited from including certain uses that might impact nearby residential areas, such as automobile repair or auto body paint uses, self-storage warehouses and outdoor storage. 

 

The General Industrial Area designation is intended to accommodate industrial activities related to manufacturing, processing, repair and servicing, warehousing, and similar uses, as well as complementary uses to serve employees (e.g. fitness uses) and business needs (e.g. accessory office).  General Industrial Areas are specifically prohibited from including uses such as retailing uses, funeral homes, night clubs and other entertainment uses.

 

The uses permitted in each designation may also be tailored in the Secondary Plan to address particular circumstances.   The draft Secondary Plan Amendment for the Armadale West Industrial Area (Appendix A) specifically prohibits the following uses in the proposed Business Corridor Area:  hotels, motels, outdoor places of amusement, nightclubs and trade and convention centres.  The Plan also includes policies to ensure that the uses of concern to the School Board are not permitted within 300m of the high school.

The draft Secondary Plan Amendment also includes policies to ensure that the potential impacts of the proposed employment uses on nearby residential uses are minimized, including requirements for:

  • development of an urban design concept for the area which is satisfactory to the Town;
  • development and approval of urban design guidelines for the Armadale West Industrial Area addressing appropriate streetscape standards, noise attenuation features, building design and other matters;
  • completion of  traffic and noise mitigation studies prior to subdivision or zoning approval; and,
  • site specific traffic and noise assessments, where required.

 

The implementing zoning bylaw may also restrict the uses permitted.  For example, in some locations where industrial lands immediately abut lands designated for residential use (not separated by an arterial road), incompatible uses such as motor vehicle repair, transport terminals, outdoor storage, restaurants, taverns, hotels, motels, commercial and technical schools, have been specifically prohibited, and additional setbacks and landscaping have been required, in the zoning bylaw. 

 

Issue No. 8:  Need for a Community Park north of 14th Avenue as identified in the Secondary Plan

At the Public Meeting in April 2001, some members of the public expressed concern that no Community Park would be provided in the area northeast of 14th Ave and McCowan Road.

 

Whether the subject lands are developed for residential or employment use, no Community Park is planned to be provided north of 14th Avenue.   Council decided in 1992 to relocate the community park to an area northeast of Denison Street and Middlefield Road.  The Community Park (known as Beaupre Park) has now been constructed and there is no need to provide additional community park land to serve the Armadale Community. 

 

The Secondary Plan policies provided for the relocation of the community park without an Amendment to the Plan, and no subsequent Amendment was made to reflect the Town’s decision to relocate the park.   A technical Amendment to the Secondary Plan for the Armadale Planning District would be appropriate to reflect the relocation of the community park.  This issue is addressed in a separate report to Development Services Committee dated 04/04/06. 

 

Issue No. 9:  Inadequate notice of Public Meeting

Submissions at the Public Meeting included concerns that interested residents in the area south of 14th Avenue did not receive notice of the Public Meeting in the mail, and that there was no sign posted on property. 

 

The Planning Act requires that notice to the public be given either by:

  1. mail to owners of property within 120m of the site as shown on the last revised assessment roll, and posting on each property where clearly visible from a public road, or at a nearby location chosen by the clerk; or
  2. publication in a newspaper that, in the opinion of the Clerk, is of sufficient circulation in the area to which the Amendment would apply that it would give the public reasonable notice.

Council may also direct additional notice, if required, however no specific direction in regard to providing notice was given by Council in 2001.  The Town’s records indicate that the notice given by the Town Clerk of the April 2001 public meeting exceeded the requirements of the Planning Act.  To meet the requirements of the Act, notice was placed in the Markham Economist and Sun.  In addition, the Clerk mailed notice to all owners of property within 120m of the site, including the owners of residences on the south side of 14th Avenue within 120m of the site.  No sign was erected, and there was no requirement or direction to place a sign on the property(ies) affected by the Amendment. 

 

A further Public Meeting on the draft amendment should be held

Both the Planning and Urban Design Department and the Economic Development Department recommend proceeding with the redesignation of these lands to permit employment uses, in accordance with the design concept attached (Figure 6).  Some minor changes to the draft Amendment would be appropriate to address the issues raised in this report as well as certain technical matters.  Staff recommends that further discussions be held with the landowners within the Amendment area and that a further Public Meeting be held.  Council may also wish to consider whether an additional meeting with the residents would be appropriate, possibly via the Milliken Mills Subcommittee.

 

Staff recommends that Notice of the Public Meeting be published in the Markham Economist and Sun, in accordance with the Planning Act requirement.  In addition, Notices should be mailed to all owners of property within 120m of the site as shown on the last revised assessment roll.  Direction is required if Council requires any additional special notice of the Public Meeting.

 

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The current and future economic vitality of Markham is dependent on maintaining an appropriate supply of land to accommodate growth in employment that is sufficient in size, diverse in opportunities and delivered in a timely manner.  In addition, the Economic Development Department notes that there is also a need to ensure a land supply for employment that maintains or improves the current assessment balance.  Additional lands are required to accommodate growth in employment land employment in the Town.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

There are no identified significant environmental features in this area.  Where possible, hedgerows and specimen trees may be incorporated into future development plans for the area.

 

ACCESSIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS:

There are no identified accessibility considerations.

 

ENGAGE 21ST CONSIDERATIONS:

The redesignation of these lands for employment purposes will support the corporate Economic Development and Managed Growth goals by increasing the supply of land for diverse high-tech and related businesses within the urban boundary and further promoting live-work opportunities.

 


BUSINESS UNITS CONSULTED AND AFFECTED:

The South District Team, the Engineering Group, and the Economic Development Department have participated in preparing this report.
