Lee Ann Coveyduck General Manager Planning and Development Department Peter Crockett, P. Eng. General Manager Public Works Joe-Anne Priel, General Manager Public Heath and Community Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB), through its school revitilization strategy (December 2002), has developed a plan to improve accommodation across the Board. Elements of the Strategy include reducing excess student capacity by making better use of existing schools. In addition, the elimination of the excess capacity will allow the Board to access provincial funding which is required to build new schools in certain parts of the City. In Phase 1 of the strategy, seventeen (17) schools are to be closed within the next few years. The 2nd phase of school closures is currently underway to reduce excess student capacity in the system. Often school sites are used as part of our calculation for parkland; staff evaluated the impact on parkland if the schools are closed and sold.


Staff identified three priority acquisitions:

School Neighbourhood Site Area Parkland

Deficiency (ha) Grange Ancaster 1.76 2.17 Peace Memorial Raleigh 1.9 3.0 Sherwood Heights Sherwood 1.71 1.86

The Planning and Development Department, Real Estate and Property Management Section received a memorandum from the HWDSB, dated March 17, 2003. In this memorandum the HWDSB informed the City that nine (9) of the 17 existing school properties were considered surplus to the requirements of the HWDSB. The remaining school properties will be declared surplus in future years. The HWDSB requested the City notify the HWDSB of any interest the City may have in acquiring each of these nine (9) properties. The City’s Real Estate and Property Management Section circulated the HWDSB’s list of surplus schools to all City departments and Councillors. Two (2) of these surplus school properties (Sherwood Heights School and Fernwood Park/Hampton Heights – Ward 6) were identified as priority acquisitions by staff to reduce existing parkland deficiencies in both these neighbourhoods. The Real Estate and Property Management Section is requesting direction to proceed towards the acquisition of these two (2) properties. BACKGROUND: In recent years, two key issues have arisen concerning the schools in the HWDSB jurisdiction:

• The closure of schools in older parts of the City and small rural communities due to low enrolments; and,

• the lack of schools to accommodate the growing population in the newer

suburban areas. The purpose of this report is to address the issues of school closures. This report provides information on the planning process for new schools. On a HWDSB wide basis, there is considerably more student capacity than there is student enrolment. The excess capacity is aggravated by the fact there are too many schools in the system. Further aggravating the situation is the fact that some schools are severely under capacity (60%) while others are over capacity (120%).


This excess capacity affects the HWDSB’s eligibility to receive New Pupil Place Grants from the Ministry of Education or to collect education development charges for the construction of new schools to facilitate new development areas. As a result, school boards are forced to bus students from new development areas to the nearest school thus leading to the potential for overcrowding. HWDSB School Revitalization Strategy The HWDSC approved a School Revitalization Strategy in December 2002. The elements of this strategy include two integrated components: catchment redefinition and accommodation (school closures and new school development). The purpose of the plan is to begin to rebuild and revitalize the educational infrastructure of the Hamilton-Wentworth public school system. The closure of existing schools will help eliminate excess capacity and allow the HWDSB to become eligible for New Pupil Place Grants from the Ministry of Education and collect education development charges for the construction of new schools. Catchment redefinition will, amongst other things, address demographic changes and assist in maximizing the use of schools. This Strategy will be implemented over a several years. The following section focuses on the proposed school closures in the City of Hamilton in Phase 1. Phase 2 is currently underway and will likely require additional school closures to reduce the excess capacity. Proposed School Closures In order to provide suitable accommodations, the HWDSB must align school capacity with resident enrolment. As a result, the HWDSB identified the following seventeen (17) schools for closure: Rural Areas:

Review of Parkland Deficiency

The City’s Long Range Planning and Design Division, with the assistance of the Real Estate and Property Management Section and Operations and Maintenance Division, reviewed the need for parkland in the neighbourhoods or communities serviced by these seventeen (17) schools.

Given the limited financial resources of the City’s parkland fund, and even though deficiencies may exist, the City cannot purchase all the surplus school sites. Priorities for the purchase of school sites were based on the following considerations:

• The existence of parks within the neighbourhood. • The proximity of large-scale park sites in adjacent neighbourhoods. • The deficit is less than one (1) hectare. • The existence of other schools within the area.

An evaluation of each of the seventeen (17) school sites is contained in Appendices “B” and “C” as attached to Report PD03135/PW03074/HSC03017. The following high priorities have been identified:

School Neighbourhood Site Area Parkland

Deficiency (ha.) Grange Ancaster 1.76 7.02 Peace Memorial Raleigh 1.9 3.0 Sherwood Heights Sherwood 1.71 1.86

Declaration of Surplus School Sites As noted above, school closures will be implemented over a period of several years. Pursuant to reciprocal agreements between various agencies and bodies in the City of Hamilton, the Real Estate and Property Management Section received notice from the HWDSB on March 17, 2003, that the board had deemed nine (9) of the seventeen (17) school properties surplus to its needs. They are:

• Lloyd George Elementary • Fernwood Park Elementary • Hampton Heights Elementary • Sherwood Heights Elementary • Peace Memorial Elementary • Ryckman’s Corners Elementary • Parkwood Elementary • Sheffield Elementary


The HWDSB requested that the City inform them if it is interested in purchasing any of these surplus properties. In order to determine the City’s interest in these properties, the Real Estate and Property Management Section circulated the list to all City Departments and Councillors. The Real Estate and Property Management Section requested that all Departments and Councillors comment on which properties were required to carry on the core business activities of the city. City Departments The circulation process identified two (2) properties as being possible priority acquisitions for the City. The Planning and Development Department, Long Range Planning and Design Division, and the Public Works Department, Strategic and Community Planning and Operations and Maintenance Divisions, commented that if the Peace Memorial and Sherwood Heights school sites were sold and redeveloped, the current parkland shortages in these two neighbourhoods would be further exacerbated. Peace Memorial School is also listed as a building of historical significance. Both these groups requested that the Real Estate and Property Management Section pursue the purchase of these two properties for parkland. Councillors Councillor Mitchell’s office identified Parkwood School (Ward 11) in Woodburn as a priority purchase. The Real Estate and Property Management Section acts as a service department for other City Departments with respect to their real estate matters. The Real Estate and Property Management Section is acting on the request of both the Long Range Planning and Design and Operations and Maintenance Divisions. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES: If these sites are not purchased by the City, and are redeveloped by private interests, the only parkland benefit the City would receive to assist in ameliorating the parkland deficit (in these neighbourhoods) would be minimal. As per the City’s Parkland Dedication Policy, the City would either dedicate 5% of the lands to be developed or receive 5% cash in lieu of parkland dedication. Neither of these two options would address the parkland shortages in these neighbourhoods. It should be noted that the opportunity to purchase one (1) suitable property to significantly increase parkland in an established area of the City is extremely rare. In the past, when parkland has been required in older sections of the city, the Real Estate and Property Management Section has been directed to purchase a series of single properties as they come onto the market. This process is long, costly and seldom results in the establishment of a park in the required time frame.


FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: The current balance of the Parkland Acquisition Fund for Wards 1-8 (original City of Hamilton) is $1,011,276. The current market value for each of the two (2) school sites is to be determined by an appraisal. In the interim, the current value assessment of both properties is offered as rough estimates of value. The current value assessment of Peace Memorial School (land and building) is $2,279,000, and Sherwood Heights Elementary School (land and building) is $1,500,000. The market value is expected to be significantly lower than the assessed values, but well above the funds available in the Parkland Acquisition Fund. Once the City acquires these park sites, these sites would have to be developed into parkland suitable for the residents and users in the area. These funds would come from the Open Space Development Budget while continued maintenance costs would be funded through the Operations and Maintenance Division. The exact costs associated with the purchase of these sites will be known once the appraisals, condition assessment and environmental audits are complete. A report will be prepared for consideration by Committee of the Whole to address the issue of funding. POLICIES AFFECTING PROPOSAL: Both the Long Range Planning and Design and Operations and Maintenance Divisions reviewed the Summary of Parkland Deficiency, which concludes that the neighbourhoods around Peace Memorial and Sherwood Heights Elementary Schools are deficient in parkland. CONSULTATION WITH RELEVANT DEPARTMENTS/AGENCIES: The Real Estate and Property Management Section circulated the HWDSB’s list of surplus schools to all City Departments and Councillors. In addition to the Long Range Planning and Design Division of the Planning and Development Department, the Public Health and Community Services Department and the Operations and Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department indicated that two (2) sites should be pursued to correct certain parkland deficiencies within the City. The Corporate Services Department provided information on the current balance of the Parkland Acquisition Fund for Wards 1-8 (original City of Hamilton). CITY STRATEGIC COMMITMENT: Purchasing these sites will allow for the development of parkland in under serviced areas of the city. In supporting this direction, the City will be directly accomplishing a number of goals of Vision 2020. Specifically:

• to preserve our natural and historical heritage; • to promote Hamilton’s environment as a desirable place to live and

work; and, • to develop our physical environments to enable the participation of all

citizens and communities in community life. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the need for parkland throughout the city, the following school sites were identified as priority purchases. Selection of these sites was determined by several factors; including the amount of parkland deficiency and the availability of parks within the neighbourhood: Ancaster Grange Elementary Ward 6 Peace Memorial Elementary

Sherwood Heights Elementary However, the HWDSB has only declared nine (9) of the seventeen (17) schools surplus at this time. Grange Elementary School has not yet been declared surplus. Therefore, the following actions are recommended: (a) That staff of the Planning and Development Department be authorized and

directed to commission:

(i) one Condition Assessment Study; (ii) one Environmental Audit; and, (iii) one appraisal to establish market value for each property occupied by

Sherwood Heights Elementary School (Sherwood Neighbourhood) and Peace Memorial Elementary School (Raleigh Neighbourhood); identified as priority acquisitions and shown on Appendix “A" to Report PD03135/PW03074/HSC03017.

(b) That staff of the Planning and Development Department be authorized and

directed to commission two (2) real estate appraisals to establish the market value for each of the two (2) school properties (Sherwood Heights and Peace Memorial Elementary Schools) identified as priority acquisitions.

(c) That staff be authorized and directed to initiate negotiations with the Hamilton-

Wentworth District School Board for the acquisition of Sherwood Heights and Peace Memorial Elementary Schools to alleviate parkland shortages in these respective neighbourhoods.


(d) That City Council request Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board to extend

their ninety-day request for interest until October 3, 2003, to allow the City time to obtain appraisals and conditions for the two school sites identified in sub-section (b) above.

SCHOOL CLOSURES – PROPERTY INFORMATION A. URBAN SCHOOL CLOSURES Hamilton The following elementary schools proposed for closure are located in urban areas: Gibson, Sanford Avenue, Robert Land, Lloyd George, Hampton Heights, Fernwood Park, Peace Memorial, Sherwood Heights, Ryckman’s Corners, Burkholder Drive, Thornbrae, Seneca, Maple Lane and Grange. All of the above noted school sites are designated Major Institutional in the Official Plan, which permits residential uses provided they are compatible with the surrounding area, and are in keeping with the Residential policies set out in Sub-sections A.2.1 and C.7 of the Official Plan. Potential for redevelopment for most of the sites is limited to residential (1 and 2 Family Dwellings) and institutional uses, according to the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. For single and two family residential developments a plan of subdivision application would be required. Use of the building or site for anything other than residential or institutional would require an Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning. Sherwood Heights is located in the Sherwood Neighbourhood. This property is zoned “B” (Suburban Agriculture and Residential) District. Based on parkland deficiency, the neighbourhood requires an additional 1.86 ha. In addition, there are no existing parks within this neighbourhood, therefore; this can be considered a high priority for purchase. Peace Memorial Elementary is located in the Raleigh Neighbourhood. The property is zoned “C” (Urban Protected Residential) District with the exception of a small portion of the northwest corner of the property, which is zoned H – Community Shopping and Commercial. Surrounding properties are also zoned C and H on properties northeast of the site. There is an open space component associated with this property along with a play structure. There are no other parks in the immediate area. According to the summary of park deficiencies in Hamilton, there is a deficiency of 3 ha. Based on the lack of park areas within the neighbourhood, this site is considered as a high priority for purchase. Two of the schools proposed for closure located in the Gibson Neighbourhood are Gibson Elementary and Sanford Avenue Elementary. Both sites are presently zoned D – Urban Protected Residential (1 & 2 Family). Surrounding land uses to the north, east and south of Gibson Elementary are primarily residential with commercial to the southwest. There is an open space component associated with the school and a park adjacent to the school on Birch Avenue (to the west of the site). Land uses surrounding Sanford Avenue Elementary include residential (1 and 2 family dwellings). Norman Pinky Lewis Park and the Norman Pinky Recreation Centre are associated with this property including a play structure. Woodlands Park is also


located a block north of the site. Both of these schools are listed under LACAC. Gibson has a deficit of 5.21 ha., however, Sanford school is being rebuilt, therefore; this property will not be declared surplus. The only surplus school would be Gibson with a small site area of 0.5 ha. This site is not of sufficient size to be a viable piece of parkland. Therefore, the priority for purchase would be low. Robert Land Elementary is located within Industrial Sector ‘B’ and the Keith Neighbourhood. This site is zoned D/S – 647 & 647b – Urban Protected Residential (1 & 2 Family). Surrounding land uses to the immediate north include light and limited heavy industrial, as well as residential. To the east and west are residential and to the south is heavy industrial. There is an open space component associated with this school along with a play structure. This building is listed under LACAC. Since there is a deficit of 0.57 ha., the purchase of the school is low. Lloyd George Elementary is in the Industrial Sector ‘E’ McAnulty Neighbourhood. The front quarter of the property is zoned H – Community Shopping and Commercial while the back 3 quarters are zoned D – Urban Protected Residential (1 & 2 Family). Surrounding land uses to the north are zoned K – Heavy Industrial, to the south, east and west they are zoned residential. The H zone is found on properties northeast and northwest of the site along Beach Road. There is an open space component associated with this property as well as a City owned ballpark to the east of the property on Benson Avenue. There is a shortfall of 0.14 ha. of parkland in the Industrial Sector ‘B’ Neighbourhood. Since the shortfall is small, the priority for purchase is low. Fernwood Park Elementary and Hampton Heights Elementary are located in the Hampton Heights Neighbourhood. These schools are adjacent to one another. Surrounding properties are zoned C – Urban Protected Residential. Fernwood Park is associated with the property and is located immediately to the east. Hampton Park is also located northwest (kiddie corner) to the site. There is a shortfall of 1.1 ha. of parkland in this neighbourhood. However, since the neighbourhood contains two existing parks (Fernwood and Hampton), this school would be considered a medium priority purchase. Ryckman’s Corners Elementary is located in the Allison Neighbourhood. This property is zoned B – Agricultural & Residential. Surrounding properties are also zoned B and are mainly residential. According to the park deficiency summary, there is no parkland deficiency in their Neighbourhood. Burkholder Drive Elementary is located in the Burkholme Neighbourhood. The west half of the site is zoned D – Urban Protected Residential (I & 2 Family) and the east portion is zoned C – Urban Protected Residential (Single Family). There is an open space component associated with this property with a play structure as well as a park adjacent to the south. There is a shortfall of 1.53 ha. of parkland in this neighbourhood. Although there is a shortfall, this site would be considered as a medium priority because of the existence of a park and Franklin Road school within the neighbourhood. The priority for purchase of this site is medium.


Thornbrae Elementary is located in the Thorner Neighbourhood. The north half of the property is zoned C – Urban Protected Residential (Single Family) and the south half is zoned AA – Agricultural. There is an open space component with a play structure associated with this site as well a s a park adjacent to the south. There is a shortfall of 0.58 ha. of parkland in this neighbourhood. Although there is a shortfall, this site would be considered as a medium priority because of the existence of parks within the neighbourhood and two community parks (Lawfield and T.B. Mcquesten) within a short distance from the neighbourhood. Seneca Elementary is located in the Gilbert Neighbourhood. This property is zoned AA – Agricultural. There is an open space component associated with this property with ball diamonds used by the City. There is a large park adjacent to the south. There is no shortfall of parkland in this neighbourhood. Ancaster Maple Lane Elementary is located in the Garner Neighbourhood. The site is zoned I – Institutional and are designated Institutional in the Official Plan. Surrounding land uses are single detached residential. This neighbourhood has an existing park; thre is no need to acquire this site. Grange Elementary is zoned I – Institutional and are designated Institutional in the Official Plan. Surrounding land uses are residential. There is an open space component associated with Grange Elementary. According to the parkland policies, this neighbourhood would require approximately 2.17 hectares of parkland. There is no parkland in this neighbourhood; therefore, this property is a high priority for acquisition when it is deemed surplus by the board. B. RURAL SCHOOL CLOSURES The following schools proposed for closures are located in rural areas: Parkwood School, Lynden School and Sheffield School. Glanbrook Parkwood School is located at 1095 Woodburn Road in the Woodburn Rural Settlement Area in Ward 11. This property is zoned ‘I’ Institutional under the Glanbrook Zoning By-law. Under the Official Plan, the subject lands have a dual designation – “Woodburn Rural Settlement Area” and “Agricultural”. There is no secondary plan for this area. Parkwood School is also adjacent to the Environmentally Sensitive Area #61, Woodburn Floodplain and Forest. Regional ESA policies apply to sites within or adjacent to ESA’s. Given the surrounding lands are designated as “Open Space and Conservation”, at this time, there is no priority to acquire parkland in this neighbourhood.


Flamborough Flamborough’s Official Plan parkland requirement is approximately 2.0 hectares per 1,000 population. Two schools proposed for closure in Flamborough are Lynden and Sheffield. Lynden School is located at 95 Howard Street in the Lynden Rural Settlement Area in Ward 14. Under the Flamborough Zoning By-law the subject lands are designated ‘I’ Institutional. Schedule “B-11” of the Flamborough Official Plan designates the property as “Settlement Residential”. Flamborough’s Official Plan parkland requirement is approximately 2.0 hectares per 1,000 population. There is a substantial open space component adjacent to this site. At this time, this is not a priority for parkland acquisition. Sheffield School is located at 1256 Sheffield Road, in the Sheffield Rural Settlement Area in Ward 14. Under the Flamborough Zoning By-law, the subject lands are designated ‘I’ Institutional. Schedule “B-4” of the Flamborough Official Plan designates the property as “Settlement Residential”. Sheffield School is located adjacent to the Environmentally Sensitive Area #20, Sheffield Complex (Regional ESA policies apply to sites within or adjacent to ESA’s). There is a substantial open space component adjacent to this site. There are lands to the south of the site designated “Settlement Open Space” within the Sheffield Rural Settlement Area according to Schedule B – 4. At this time, this area is not a priority for parkland acquisition.
