BACKGROUND
The subject property is
located on the southeast corner of Nepean and Percy Streets. Presently located on the property is a two
storey brick and concrete building. The
property has been used by the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa (a community
serving use). The applicant wishes to
demolish the building on the site and construct a 33 unit stacked townhouse
project with seven single storey units and 26 two storey units.
DISCUSSION
OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
The City Council Adopted
Official Plan designates the subject property as General Urban Area. Lands having this designation are expected
to develop with a wide range of residential uses as well as employment, service,
cultural, leisure, entertainment and institutional uses.
Both the former City of
Ottawa Official Plan and the Council Adopted Official Plan contain a Secondary
Plan for the Centretown Neighbourhood.
This Secondary Plan designates the subject property as a Public/Institutional
Area, which anticipates uses such as schools, parks, public utility
installations, municipal facilities, community and health centres and places of
worship. This designation is located on
properties across the Centretown Neighbourhood that accommodate public and institutional uses, including the subject
property; which has accommodated a community serving use for many years (boys
and girls club).
The Public Institutional designation plays an important role in
providing a location for community serving uses within the Centertown
area. Since the subject property
represents only a small fraction of the lands in Centretown having this
designation, it is the Department's position that removal of this designation
from the subject lands will not inhibit the fulfillment of the policies
relating to community serving uses.
Amending the designation on
the subject property to allow residential uses will enable other policies
contained in both the Council Adopted Official Plan and the former City of
Ottawa Official Plan to be realized.
The City Council Adopted Official Plan provides polices for
intensification of residential development.
It states that within the Greenbelt there are intended to be
approximately 283 000 households by the year 2021. Currently, there are approximately 223 000 households. It is expected that approximately 90 percent
of the growth in population, jobs and housing will take place within the established
urban boundary. This intensification
approach to residential development ensures that new development makes the best
use of existing services such as sewers and the transportation network, in an
effort to restrict urban sprawl and therefore the City's cost of providing
these services. It is the Department's
position that redesignating the subject lands to allow for residential
development will advance the intent of the residential intensification policies
in the new Official Plan.
Similar intensification
goals exist in the Primary Plan of the former City of Ottawa Official Plan
which provides for denser residential development within the greenbelt, to make
use of existing infrastructure, to reduce energy consumption, decrease the
financial burden of underutilized municipal services and relieve pressure for
development of designated natural area and open space. Approval of this Official Plan Amendment satisfies this intent as indicated
in the former City of Ottawa Official Plan.
The proposed Medium Profile
Residential Area designation will allow for residential development consistent
and compatible with existing residential development in the area and extends
the current medium profile residential area designation applying to lands to
the south and west on to the subject site.
With the medium profile Residential Area designation, policies set out
in both the Council Adopted Ottawa Official Plan and the former City of Ottawa
Official Plan will apply to ensure that development will fit within the
adjacent community.
ZONING AMENDMENT
Council Adopted Official
Plan
The Council Adopted Ottawa
Official Plan requires that proposals for residential intensification be considered with respect to their
contribution to the maintenance and achievement of a balance and range of
housing types for a variety of demographic profiles. New development is to relate to the existing community character
so that it enhances and builds upon desirable established land use patterns and
built form. Towards this end, specific
policies are set out to ensure that proposed uses are appropriate in relation
to surrounding uses and that development will respect the built form patterns
existing and/or that can be accommodated within an area. These policies relate to the compatibility
of development and ensuring that the development becomes an integral component
of the neighbourhood (Section 2.5.1.).
Many of these policies, such as those relating to the design of
buildings and landscaping will be addressed through the site plan control
approval process. Nevertheless, the
rezoning proposal satisfies other policies in the Council Adopted Official Plan
related to zoning, dealing with matters such as heights and setbacks to ensure
that the setbacks and height of the proposed development are compatible with
the surrounding developments.
The 13 metre height limit
proposed under the recommended zoning will allow buildings of about three
storeys. This is compatible with the
two and three storey residential buildings located in the surrounding
neighbourhood to the south. As well,
the setback for the southern face of the building proposed is in compliance
with the Zoning By-law and will respect the private amenity areas of adjacent
dwellings. This area will also be
landscaped through the Site Plan Control Process. To the east is the parking area for a school. Parking for the proposed residential
development and a driveway leading to this parking is proposed adjacent to the
parking on the adjacent school site.
This will provide for a compatible relationship between the school and
proposed residential development.
Policies in the Council
Adopted Official Plan also provide direction that new residential development
be located on a road having sufficient capacity to accommodate the anticipated
traffic to be generated by the proposal.
The proposed rezoning will allow a development of approximately 33
units. Although it is located at the
intersection of two local roads, the anticipated traffic volumes from the
proposed development can be accommodated by the existing road network, without
any modifications.
Finally, direction is
provided to give consideration to how a proposed development will add to the
diversity of land uses or activity in the surrounding area. The surrounding land uses consist of a
diversity of residential, commercial and public uses. The proposed rezoning to allow residential uses on the property
will add to that mix and complement the existing diversity.
Former City of Ottawa
Official Plan
Policies 3.6.2.i and j of
the former City of Ottawa Official Plan relate to moderate residential
intensification, which is the type proposed by this application. These policies indicate that intensification
should be permitted where a number of factors can be satisfied. These include the provision of adequate
transportation and service capacity, schools, parks and other amenities, as
well as where the design of the development allows for adequate vehicular and
bicycle parking, access to abutting streets, facilitates the use of public
transit and incorporates a pedestrian circulation system. These policies also articulate the built
form of a development and address issues such as lot size, setbacks, parking,
private amenity areas and the height of buildings. They are intended to ensure that infill is compatible with the
surrounding community. Taking into
consideration the subject property's relationship to the surrounding community
and the type of development proposed, it is the Department's position that the
recommended zoning satisfies these polices of the former City of Ottawa
Official Plan relating to moderate residential intensification.
In summary, it is the
Department's position that the proposed rezoning to allow residential uses on
the property will provide the opportunity for a range of development types to
serve a wide demographic profile, which is consistent with the policy
directives set out in the new Official Plan and in the former City of Ottawa official Plan. The rezoning of the property to allow more
intense forms of residential development, such as stacked townhouses, will create
a built form and pattern of development that is appropriate for this location
and compatible with the lower-rise residential buildings to the south.
Exceptions to the Zoning
In addition to rezoning the
subject property from Leisure L3 to R5D H(13.0), the applicant is also
requesting exceptions to the regulations of the zoning. These include:
- allowing the development (which has a common foundation)
to be treated as stacked town housing for the purposes of applying the
Zoning By-law.
- permitting a rear yard of 3.6 metres.
- eliminating the requirement for a minimum separation
distance and a landscape strip between
a parking lot and a lot line.
- to permit a driveway leading into the parking garage to be
6.0 metres wide.
- to permit air conditioning units to project into the
required vertical clearance above a parking
garage.
It is the Department's
position that the requested exceptions do not result in over development of the
site nor detract from the functionality of the property. They allow the site to be developed as
proposed, represent only minor deviations to the parent R5D zoning and should
not result in any undue hardship on adjacent residential properties. The request to have the proposed development
considered as stacked townhouses stems from a technicality whereby the proposal
shares a common underground parking garage, which having a common foundation
wall, requires it to be considered as an apartment building. Despite this technicality, the proposed
development functions and will be constructed as a stacked townhouse
development.
CONSULTATION
Notice of this application
was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and
Consultation Policy. Information signs were posted on-site indicating the
nature of the application. The former
Ward Councillor also held a public meeting where 14 people attended. No comments were received as a result of the
posting of the on-site sign. Concerns
raised at the public meeting regarding the proposed amendments related to the
loss of privacy and the location of the garbage bin on the property. Detailed responses to the comments received
as a result of the notification/circulation of the applications are provided in
Document 6.

1.0
Purpose
The
subject property at 412 Nepean Street

3.1
Background
The
subject property is presently occupied by a two storey brick and concrete
building. It has been used by the Boys

wishes to demolish this building and construct a new stacked townhouse
development consisting of 33 units.
3.2
Context of Amendment
The
applicant is requesting modifications to Schedule H, Centretown Land Use. The property is presently designated
Public/Institutional and will be amended to Residential-Medium Profile.
Lands
in the Secondary Plan designated Public/Institutional Use are anticipated to be
developed with uses such as schools, parks, public utility installations,
municipal facilities, community and health centres and places of worship. This designation plays an important role in
providing a location for community serving uses within Centertown. The subject
property is designated Public/Institutional because of the community serving
nature of the use that occupied the property for many years. Since the subject property represents only
a small fraction of the lands in Centretown having this designation and is no
longer used for community uses, removal of this designation from the subject
lands will not inhibit the fulfillment of the policies relating to community
serving uses. These policies will still
be satisfied by other existing facilities, including the adjacent school.
Given
the foregoing context, it is appropriate and compatible to redesignate the land
Residential/Medium Profile to allow the site to be used to achieve residential
intensification objectives of the Official Plan. The adjacent school to the east will continue to be designated
Public/Institutional.

NOTIFICATION AND ONSULTATION PROCESS
Notification and public
consultation was undertaken in accordance with the Public Notification and
Public Consultation Policy approved by City Council for Official Plan and
zoning Amendments. One public meeting
was also held in the community.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Two comments were received from people who wanted more information
concerning the proposal. One comment
with concerns was received as a result of the public meeting. A summary of that comment and comments
received during the meeting which are different, as well as a response to those
comments are presented below.
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC INPUT
1. I have a concern about
the garbage container being too close to existing residences.
Response
The location of garbage containers is a consideration of the Site Plan
Control Approval process. Nevertheless, the revised proposal does not have a
large garbage container located next to existing residences.
2. I have a concern about
windows and how they would interfere with the privacy of existing homes.
Response
The location of windows must be in accordance with the Ontario Building
Code. As well, during the Site Plan
Control process, the City can discuss options for moving windows.
June 26, 2003 - PUBLIC MEETING COMMENTS
1. The proposed balconies
will be looking into my backyard.
Response
Permitted projections, such as balconies, must be provided in
accordance with the zoning regulations.
However, as with windows and the garbage, this issue can be addressed
through the Site Plan Control process.
2. Can more parking be provided on the property?
Response
Minimum parking requirements will be provided on the property in
accordance with the Zoning By-law.
Additional parking spaces will be at the discretion of the property
owner.
