14:36:33 »TERENCE DIMATULAC: Awesome.  
Again, my   name is Terence 
14:36:37 dim
14:36:43 Dimatulac.  Estimation of 
additional   dwelling units 
14:36:45 using
14:36:48 ARC GIS. 
14:36:55 As well as Frazier   fathers. 
Okay
14:36:59 .  So if you live in Canada
for the past   few years, I'm 
14:37:02 pretty sure you're aware how 
difficult it   is to buy or 
14:37:07 rent homes in recent years and
we think that   having 
14:37:10 additional dwelling units 
could help to kind of   
14:37:14 alleviate that problem by 
providing a more affordable   
14:37:19 housing for many.  This 
specific project, we can focus
14:37:23 on   the detached ADU.  ADU 
must be self-contained which 
14:37:28 means   it has to have a 
kitchen as well as a bathroom
14:37:32 So the main purpose for this 
is again, to   estimate the 
14:37:34 available area
14:37:38 for an ADU for the City of   
Windsor and to see if that 
14:37:43 specific area follows the city
bylaw in order to have an ADU 
14:37:47 book on it.  In order to do   
that, we develop
14:37:51 a (indiscernible) ARC GIS
14:37:54 in calculating   this area.  
Using publicly available data 
14:37:58 sets.  Having a   public 
available that's one of the 
14:38:02 focus of this because   we 
kind of, in the FUTURE, we 
14:38:06 would like to extend this   
project and aa ply it in 
14:38:10 different cities in Canada.  
The   three main of use is the
14:38:13 road network as well as the 
land   parcels and the 
14:38:17 building footprint.  In most 
cities that   we saw, they 
14:38:22 should be available in the 
open data catalog   of
14:38:26 the city.  You should be able 
to apply this model like   in 
14:38:32 other cities.      And then 
before kind of inputting those
14:38:35 in the   model, we first kind 
of process specifically the 
14:38:40 land   parcel as well as the 
building footprint where we 
14:38:43 focus   on the residential 
land use.  So meaning that 
14:38:48 parcel   should contain a 
detached or townhouse building
14:38:51 .  And   then the building 
parcel should be at least 18 
14:38:58 18 meters in   area and also 
the building should be, the 
14:39:04 largest house   or the largest
building footprint represents 
14:39:09 the main   house.      So, 
without going like in detail, 
14:39:12 the   nitty-gritty of the 
model
14:39:18 , the model we develop is the 
GEO processing command as 
14:39:21 union, join creating the 
buffer   in order to create 
14:39:25 the polygons that depicted 
this gross   area of the ADU. 
14:39:30 For each of the parcels in the
City of   Windsor.  And this 
14:39:33 is like, I guess, again, 
without kind   of discussing 
14:39:38 the entire model, so this is
the UI of that   model builder
14:39:41 .  I don't know if you can se
my cursor.    The first three 
14:39:45 are the inputs.  So we kind of
want
14:39:48 to to   define like what would
be the building foot 
14:39:53 print, the   parcel and the 
start line.  It's the road 
14:39:57 that   (indiscernible).  And 
one of the important input as 
14:40:02 well,   we want to group these
parcels as well as the 
14:40:07 building   footprint by street
, see where it belonged to.  
14:40:11 It's   important to find the 
street names and as well as 
14:40:15 the   fund age or the buffer 
from the street to the very 
14:40:19 edge   of the building.  So in
this case, we're showing the 
14:40:24 the   25 meters away from the 
street.  And the offset 
14:40:26 distance   from the back of 
the house and from the fence, 
14:40:29 this is   specifically define
for the City of Windsor.  So 
14:40:34 because   based on the bylaw, 
it must be 2.5 meters away 
14:40:39 from the   fence.  I'm sorry, 
from the back of the house and
14:40:45 at   least 1.2 meters from the
fence.  This is specifically  
14:40:50 applied for the City of 
Windsor.  So, after running 
14:40:53 the   model, like I guess, 
what we did was, we need to 
14:40:57 validate   if the results 
actually make sense
14:41:00 .  Doing multiple spot   
checks and many different 
14:41:04 areas of the city.  It's kind 
difficult because there's 
14:41:09 about more than 6 to 6000   
individual parcels in the city
14:41:14 .  All we can do is take   
like a specific area, I think 
14:41:17 what we did was 20   different
areas and focus on that.  
14:41:21 Manually kind of look   into 
them.  What are
14:41:26 the area, the created area 
makes   sense.  From there, we
14:41:29 found that in some instances 
that   the area that has been 
14:41:33 created is less than 15 years.
And that's quite too small to 
14:41:37 be livable.  So for those   
estimated areas, we simply 
14:41:41 drop them and assume that it's
not possible to have an ADU 
14:41:46 for a special parcel.      
From there, we found that 94% 
14:41:52 of that 66 thousand   parcels 
are able to house an ADU.  And
14:41:57 here's like a   simple map to 
show what I mean by that.  So 
14:42:01 I guess the   slashes are the 
ADU area while the primary 
14:42:06 building or   the main house 
are the rose color.  Not all 
14:42:09 of them have   the secondary 
building which is the detached
14:42:13 garage or a   really big shed
I guess.  And then the blue 
14:42:20 one would   represent the 
center line or the road.  So, 
14:42:25 we know that,   not all of 
those ADU can house like an 
14:42:31 actual ADU.  It's   because of
specific bylaws passed by the 
14:42:35 city.  But by   doing that,
based on the bylaws, there's a
14:42:37 there's a mandatory   
requirement and I'm not going 
14:42:40 to go through all of them   
but for the mandatory 
14:42:44 requirements, in order to have
an   ADU in that area, the 
14:42:48 parcel must be located in the 
residential zone as well as 
14:42:52 the house should have like a  
single detached, semide/
14:43:00 semidetached or a tow
dwelling.  The   ADU must be 
14:43:07 be smaller than the main house
.  While the other   criteria 
14:43:11 are focused on the size of the
ADU.  Based on   that, we kind
14:43:14 of create a category for those
parcels   which is green 
14:43:18 yellow and red.  Green meaning
all those   cry tiers I just 
14:43:24 showed, all of them are met.  
Yellow   only met some of them
14:43:27 as some of the minor ones are 
violated.  It means that it's 
14:43:30 still possible to have an   
ADU but it's not possible to 
14:43:35 have a detached ADU.
For   the rent parcels, we're 
14:43:39 not allowed to have an ADU 
there   and there's about 44% 
14:43:43 of those are green while 40 
are   quell low and 15% are 
14:43:48 red.  I guess the final 
results if   you guys are 
14:43:54 interested, you can check out 
ADU research
14:43:59 dot CA.  It's the full report 
of what we did specifically   
14:44:05 what we did in those models.  
Here is the final output.    
14:44:10 It looks something like this.
