Development Areas School Boundary Assignments Report

Report to Committee of the Whole
February 10, 2014
Inspired Learners – Tomorrow’s Leaders
SUBJECT:
Development Area School Boundary Assignments – Kitchener
ORIGINATOR:
This report was prepared by Marilyn Allen, Executive Superintendent of Business and
Financial Services, Dennis Cuomo, Manager of Planning and Lauren Manske, Senior
Planner, in consultation with Executive Committee.
PURPOSE/STRATEGIC PLAN:
The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding the school assignments for plans of subdivision
that have registered within the development areas as identified in the Huron Village Boundary Study and to
identify a development are in the Grand River South community of Kitchener.
The assignment of these development areas to a facility that can accommodate the students report relates to the
Waterloo Region District School Board’s (Board’s) strategic direction of promoting forward-thinking.
BACKGROUND:
On January 14, 2013, recommendations resulting from the Huron Village Boundary Study were presented to
Committee of the Whole and the following motion was passed:
That the Waterloo Region District School Board designate the areas as illustrated on
Appendix B attached to this report, dated January 14, 2013, as “development areas,”
allowing staff to assign each registered phase of development to a school that has space to
accommodate the projected enrolment until a permanent solution can be established.
Since some of the plans of subdivision in these development areas have registered, staff have assessed where
students can be accommodated until new schools are constructed in the area and assigned these subdivisions to
schools temporarily.
On January 20, 2014, the Board approved a motion to delay the opening date of Chicopee Hills Public School
in the Grand River South area of Kitchener to September 2016. Prior to the approval of the construction of
Chicopee Hills Public School, some students in the area had already been directed to Sheppard Public School to
address over-enrolment at Lackner Woods Public School. This area continues to grow and Sheppard Public
School cannot accommodate any additional development; therefore, a second holding school needs to be
identified.
STATUS:
Mattamy “Wildflowers” Subdivision Stages 1-3, & 6 (Registered Plans 58M-562 to 565)
In early 2013, Mattamy Homes opened a sales centre for their newest master-planned community that has been
named “Wildflowers” (see map on Appendix A). The first stages of this development registered on October 29,
2013, and the sales team anticipates that the first building permits will be issued in the Spring of 2014.
A total of 318 lots will be released in the first phase of development. Of those 318 lots, 228 homes are
designates to be single detached and 83 as street townhomes. It is anticipated at build-out these plans will yield
approximately 125 JK-8 students.
The Wildflowers subdivision will remain designated as a “development area;” however, students moving into
the area will be directed to Queen Elizabeth Public School. Although Queen Elizabeth Public School is not the
closest school, it is the only school within a reasonable distance that has enough space available to
accommodate the number of students anticipated in the first phase of the Wildflowers subdivision. With the
opening of Jean Steckle Public School this year, and the phasing out of students from that boundary at
Laurentian Public School next year, it will be the most able to accommodate students in Grades 7 and 8.
-1-
Transportation will need to be provided to students attending Queen Elizabeth and Laurentian Public Schools.
The secondary school for this community will be Huron Heights Secondary School. Table 2 below shows the
enrolment and capacity of schools in South Kitchener.

It is anticipated that students from this development will need to be accommodated at Queen Elizabeth and
Laurentian Public Schools until a new elementary school is approved for funding and is built in a subsequent
phase of development. The targeted opening date for a new elementary school is September 2017.
“Huron Woods” Subdivision (Registered Plans 58M-568 and 58M-569)
Many stages of the “Huron Woods” subdivision are built out; however a few stages remain. Stages 4a and 5a of
this development registered on December 12, 2013, with a total of 126 lots and 6 blocks created (see Appendix
B). It is anticipated at build-out these plans will yield approximately 55 JK-8 students.
These stages of the Huron Woods subdivision will remain as a designated “development area;” however,
students moving into the area will be directed to Jean Steckle Public School for Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.
The secondary school for this community will be Huron Heights Secondary School. It is anticipated that Jean
Steckle Public School can accommodate these additional students until such time as a new elementary school
can be built in the area. The majority of students within these registered plans are within walking distance of
Jean Steckle Public School.
Grand River South Subdivisions (Registered Plans 58M-371 to 373, 58M-566 and Draft Plan 30T-10202)
There are several registered lots in the Grand River South area that have seen no development activity yet
(registered plans 58M-371 to 373) and one plan that registered in late November 2013 where only model
homes given building permits to date. It is anticipated at build out these registered plans will yield
approximately 45 JK-8 students.
These registered vacant lots, as well as the draft plan of 30T-10202 (see Appendix C) are currently assigned to
Sheppard Public School. It is projected that Sheppard Public School will require portables to accommodate its
current boundary until Chicopee Hills Public School opens; therefore, staff have designated the aforementioned
plans as a “development area.” Students moving into the development area will be assigned to Crestview
Public School for Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 until such time as Chicopee Hills Public School opens and
the students from these areas will be directed to Lackner Woods Public School. Without this development area
assignment, Crestview Public School is projected to operate at approximately 75% capacity in the 214/15
school year.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Letters were sent to the Mattamy Homes and Freure Homes sales centres in February, 2013 to advise them that
the holding school for the area was to be determined (see Appendix D). Follow-up letters will be sent in the
next week advising the sales centres of the school assignments. Maps indicating these school assignments will
be posted on the Board’s website for the general public to view.
-2-
Further, once municipal addressing is assigned, the “School Finder” application on the Board’s website will be
modified to display the correct school assignments and transportation eligibility.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There will be transportation implications to these development area assignments, however, given these are
short-term solutions; there will be no long-term transportation costs. It is difficult to determine a cost for
transportation until the bus routes have been established.
By utilizing existing unused classroom spaces, there will be a cost-savings to the Board because there will a
minimal number of portables that will need to be placed on the sites to accommodate increasing enrolment.
RECOMMENDATION:
No recommendation. For information only.

Re: Public Schools for the Huron Woods Community, Kitchener
Dear Freure Homes Sales Team:
It has come to our attention that your website for the Huron Woods community in Kitchener is
inaccurately advertising which school attendance areas this community is assigned to. As a result, I
wish to update you with the most recent information so that you can provide purchasers accurate
information as to which public schools they will be attending.
On January 14, 2013, the Waterloo Region District School Board (Board) voted to change the public
elementary school boundaries in this area of Kitchener. As part of this change, the Board has
established a boundary that defines several “development areas” in Southwest Kitchener, including the
future phases of the Huron Woods community. A development area is an area with planned future
residential development where there are no existing students or homes. Staff will be assigning each
phase of registered development areas to a school that has space to accommodate the projected
enrolment until a permanent solution can be established.
As of the date of this letter, staff have yet to determine which elementary school(s) students in the
remaining unregistered phases of the Huron Woods community will be assigned to. We are in the
process of assessing which school(s) can accommodate students from this community temporarily and
will notify you as soon as we reach a decision. Please be advised that this may take a few months.
Through the community planning process the Board has identified the need for an elementary school
site in this community. This school site has been identified in the plan as being located on Tartan Drive,
Kitchener. Since the Board relies on Ministry of Education grants to construct new facilities, it cannot
control if/when funding will become available to construct a school and therefore cannot be certain of
an opening date for this future elementary school.
Since the abovementioned development area boundaries only apply to elementary school students,
we can advise you that the secondary school (Grades 9-12) attendance boundary for this area is Huron
Heights Secondary School, located at 1825 Strasburg Rd, Kitchener. Elementary school students in
existing phases of this development will be directed to Jean Steckle Public School, located at 130
Woodbine Avenue, Kitchener, starting in September 2013. I have attached a map to this letter showing
the approved public school boundaries for the Huron Woods community for your information.
APPENDIX D
Please feel free to share this information with perspective purchasers. We will be in touch with you
once any new information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Lauren Manske
Senior Planner, Planning Department
519-570-0003 ext. 4596; [email protected]

February 25, 2013 Mattamy Homes Sales Centre 1571 Fischer Hallman Road Kitchener, ON N2R 1P6 Re: Public Schools for the Wildflowers Community, Kitchener Dear Mattamy Homes Sales Team: It has come to our attention that the sales centre for the Wildflowers community in Kitchener has recently opened and that purchasers are interested to know which public schools they will be attending.
