1. 1. That operation of the Facade Loan Program be extended beyond the
      existing sunset date of June 30, 1992 for a period of 18 months, at
      which time the effectiveness of the program should again be
      assessed. The program would offer a 30% forgiveness incentive
      until December 31, 1992, after which the impact of this feature
      would be evaluated for extension at the same or reduced level.
 
   2. That the proposed Downtown Interior Improvement Assistance Loan
      Program as outlined in the staff report dated June 25, 1992 from T.
      O'Brien be adopted by the City of Kitchener and offered to eligible

      and sunset dates identical to the Facade Loan Program.
 
   3. That Schedule 'A' - Facade Improvement Loan Program and Schedule
      'A' - Downtown Interior Assistance Loan Program, each be modified
      to reflect the following revisions:
 
      - under Funding, paragraph #3, insert a new sentence to read to the
      effect that "The Commissioner of Finance and the City Solicitor be
      authorized to obtain appropriate financial security to secure the
      loan portion of the program".
 
      - under Funding, paragraph #5, be deleted in its entirety
 
      - under Eligibility, paragraph #1, delete the first sentence which
      reads "To be eligible for this program, applicants must not be in
      default of any municipal taxes, local improvements, utility
      accounts, or any other money owing to the City of Kitchener."
                                                               (AS AMENDED)
 
2. 1.  That Kitchener Council adopt the Kitchener Office Location Study
       dated April 1992 by resolution as an implementation plan and that
       the recommendations contained in the study, as listed hereunder, be
       used as a basis for the preparation of new city-wide office
       location official plan policies:
 
   1.1 That the City of Kitchener's current approach of encouraging new
       office development to locate in the Downtown, in part, by
       restricting the number of alternative suburban office locations, be
       revised to create a more balanced approach that recognizes the
       existence of distinct downtown and suburban office sub-markets
       within the overall regional office market.
 
   1.2 That the City of Kitchener create new opportunities for locating
       freestanding offices in locations outside of Downtown Kitchener.
 
       1.2.1 That the City of Kitchener continue its approach of
             permitting freestanding offices to locate in suburban
             locations that abut or are near major interchanges of the
             Provincial Highway System and Homer Watson Boulevard and
             the major interchanges that abut or are near Primary
             Arterial roads that provide direct access to the
             Provincial Highway System.
 
       1.2.2 That the City of Kitchener permit freestanding offices in
             entrance locations to existing areas that are currently
             designated as Business Park and remove the existing gross
             floor area restrictions that apply to office uses zoned
             Business Park Service Centre Zone (B-3).
 
       1.2.3 That the City of Kitchener explore the possibility of
             permitting freestanding offices to locate in the Huron
             Business Park through the Huron Community Plan Review.
 
       1.2.4 That the City of Kitchener consider freestanding office
             uses as one of the primary land uses in a strategy to
             help redevelop existing inner city industrial areas,
             thereby achieving more effective use of existing serviced
             lands and buildings, providing additional inner city
             employment opportunities and promoting proximity of place
             of residence to place of work.
 
   1.3 That the City of Kitchener continue to recognize that Downtown
       Kitchener is, and will remain, an important and unique office
       location in the regional office market for offices that require a
       prestige location, good overall accessibility to other parts of the
       region, and proximity to services and other office functions that
       are located within the Downtown.  Further, that the Kitchener
       Economic Development Department continue to aggressively seek to
       attract such new offices to Downtown Kitchener.
 
   1.4 That the office policies/regulations in the Neighbourhood
       Commercial, Community Commercial Core, Community Shopping Centre
       and Service Commercial Official Plan land use categories and
       Comprehensive Zoning By-law 85-1 categories remain unchanged.
 
   1.5 That the Planning and Development Department and the Economic
       Development Department be directed to prepare an annual survey of
       city-wide trends in office type, location, floor area and
       employment and provide a report on the results of each survey to
       the Planning and Economic Development Committee.
 
   2.  That Kitchener Council direct staff to proceed to prepare the
       official plan amendments required to implement the recommendations
       that are contained in the Kitchener Office Location Study.
 
   3.  That Official Plan Amendments and Zone Change Applications
       conforming to the approved office location policies be processed
       without the necessity to bring them forward to the Planning and
       Economic Development Committee for direction for processing.
 
 
3. A. That Official Plan Amendment Application 91/15 (Berkshire Building
      Corporation) requesting an amendment to the Kitchener Official Plan
      from General Industrial to General Industrial with a special policy
      on lands described as Part of Lot 32, Registrar's Compiled Plan
      1489, more particulary described as Part 1 of Plan 58R-5097, be
      refused.
 
   B. That Zone Change Application 91/38/H/LB (Berkshire Building
      Corporation) requesting a change in zoning from General Industrial
      (M-2) to General Industrial (M-2) with a special use and a special
      regulation provision, all according to By-law 85-1, on lands
      described as Part of Lot 32, Registrar's Compiled Plan 1489, more
      particularly described as Part 1 of Plan 58R-5097, be refused.
 
   It is the opinion of this Committee that the refusal of these
   applications is proper planning for the City.
                                 (DEALT WITH UNDER DELEGATIONS AND CARRIED)
 
4. A. That Kitchener City Council request the Council of the Regional
      Municipality of Waterloo to modify Official Plan Amendment No. 99 -
      Victoria  Street  Secondary  Plan  in  accordance  with:    1)  the
      modifications that are recommended in the Region's post-circulation
      letter dated April 30, 1992; 2) the City of Kitchener's revised
      standardized  wording  for  inner  city  secondary  plan  land use
      categories and; 3) to reflect the Region of Waterloo's approval of

2.4  SECTION 3.2 - LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
     Revise sub-section 3.2.7 Major Institutional by deleting the
     existing text and replacing it with the following new text:

     South and some adjacent lands located on the same block
     generally bounded by Patricia Avenue, Victoria Street South,
     the Grand River Railway, West Avenue and the Henry Sturm
     Greenway, given the scale and nature of H.E.C.K.W.'s
     operations. The Major Institutional land use designation is
     seen as being the most appropriate alternative land use
     designation for the subject block; however, a Special Policy
     is required to recognize the existence of executive and
     administrative offices and associated warehousing and outdoor

     2.5.3  Revise policy 4.2.2 by deleting the phrase "

            with "Flood Plain".
 
     2.5.4  Revise policy 4.2.3 by deleting the phrase "

         may enter on the lands and so complete the required site
         development works to the extent of monies received under

         works shall be deducted from the monies obtained from the
         Letter of Credit. In the event that there is a surplus,
         the City shall pay it forthwith to the Owner.  In the
         event that there are required site development works
         remaining to be completed, the City may by by-law
         exercise its authority under Section 325. of The
