les modifications au Règlement de zonage 135-93 de l’ancienne Ville de Kanata
en vue de changer la désignation de zonage de certains terrains du 5271, chemin

terrains situés au 5271, chemin Fernbank, d’ajouter lesdits terrains au
Règlement 168-94 et de changer le zonage à OS1, CG-XX et R3A-XX, comme il est
détaillé dans le document 6.
The subject parcel of land is currently
vacant and has a site area of approximately 53 hectares. It is bounded to the north by a hydro
corridor, on the east by Eagleson Road, and on the west by an unopened road
allowance (Didsbury Road, formerly First Line Road) (see Document 1). The Monahan Drain also transects the
site. The site is part of the 187 ha
Kanata South Business Park which has mostly developed with light industrial and
office uses to the north of the subject lands.
The proposed mixed-use development known as
SoHo West, consists of approximately 1 200 residential units, including 73
‘Chambers Style’ residential/personal service units along Cope Drive, a 2.7 ha
park and a 3-hectare business/employment parcel. As part of the servicing for the lands, the developer will be
installing Fibre to the Home (FTTH) for the entire development. The Concept Plan for the development is
attached in Document 2.
The site is designated Business Park in the
former Regional Official Plan and Restricted Industrial in the former City of
Kanata Official Plan. The Council Approved Official Plan designates these lands
Enterprise Area, a designation which allows for the land to be developed for
residential purposes as long as certain criteria are met.
The application for the SoHo West development
was submitted with the intent to develop the lands in accordance with the
Enterprise Area policies and is proposing a mix of residential and employment
uses. At the time of submission, it was anticipated that the Council Approved
Official Plan would be in full force and effect by the time the subdivision
application had advanced to the approval stage of the planning process. Due to
the number and complexity of the appeals however, the new Plan is not yet in
effect and the Kanata and Regional Official Plans still prevail. In order to
proceed with the Zoning By-law amendment and subdivision approval and render a
decision, the subject application is proposing to amend both the Kanata and
Regional Official Plans to introduce the Enterprise Area policies and allow for
the proposed development.
In addition, the applicant has requested a
site-specific amendment to the Council Approved Official Plan to allow
semi-detached units in the Enterprise Area.
Currently, the criteria permitting residential uses in the Enterprise
Area (Section 3.6.5 – 8) requires that “All housing is in the form of townhouses,
stacked townhouses or apartments...”
The applicant also wishes to rezone the
lands to allow the mix of uses proposed by the development. The lands are currently zoned M1A-3 (Light
Industrial Select – Exception 3), M1D (Light Industrial Automotive), OS1 (Open
Space Type 1) and Hazard (HZD) Zone in the Kanata Zoning By-law (By-law 135-93)
which reflects the anticipated industrial use of the property and the presence
of the Monahan Drain.
City Council
Approved Official Plan
The proposed development includes
approximately 1 200 residential units, comprised of a mix of ‘carriage homes’
(similar to a semi-detached dwelling), row dwellings, stacked row dwellings and
apartments. The City Council Approved
Enterprise Area policies do not currently permit ‘carriage homes’, the intent
being that land converted from employment to residential be developed at medium
to high density. The density of the
proposed development is approximately 25 units per net hectare, the same
density as if the entire area were developed only as row dwellings.
This development proposal, as noted above,
includes the provision of fibre optic cable to each unit (residential,
commercial and industrial). This development would be unique to Ottawa and to
Canada.
The proposed development will provide added
benefit, which goes beyond those of a standard residential development. The Council approved ‘Broadband Plan’ states
that ‘broadband services to the home are clearly a requirement of a
well-planned and serviced municipality.’ By providing Fibre to the Home (FTTH)
for each residential unit for the development, the proposed development
provides the opportunity for the following benefits:
·
Reduce daily commuter traffic by promoting
teleworking via broadband from the home;
·
Bridge the "digital divide" between
urban and rural Ottawa and foster economic development outside the urban core;
·
Enable
home-based businesses to build, test and bring to market new high-bandwidth
applications and services; and
·
Expand
the City's innovation economy by connecting businesses, organizations and
people with ideas efficiently and cost effectively through broadband
infrastructure and services.
Staff’s recommendation is to add a site-specific policy to the Enterprise Area designation to allow one additional housing type, semi-detached dwelling/carriage homes, to the list of housing forms for this specific development, as long as a minimum density target of 25 units per net hectare is met. This density target will be listed in the Zoning By-law for the lands. The proposed development meets all other requirements of the Council Approved Official Plan as it relates to residential uses within the Enterprise Area.
Former Regional and
Local Official Plan
The Enterprise Area designation identifies
areas where commercial, office, and industrial are the primary land uses. Policies in Section 3.6.5 of the Council
Approved Official Plan, state that the Enterprise Area will permit a variety of
industrial and employment generating uses, such as warehousing and
distribution, manufacturing, communications, storage, construction, office,
institutional research and development uses and retail uses. The designation will also permit a variety
of complimentary uses, such as convenience retail, personal service businesses,
and recreational uses to serve employees and the general public in the
immediate area. The designation also
permits residential uses provided that the residential component does not limit
the ability of the area to achieve its original employment target and the
development proposal meets the following criteria:
·
all
housing is in the form of townhouses, stacked townhouses or apartments;
·
where
townhouses form part of the proposal, they must be a logical extension of
adjacent residential areas and be linked to those areas by road, if possible,
but definitely by a pedestrian /cycling linkage;
·
at
least 50 per cent of the developable land in the Enterprise area will be
devoted to employment uses; and
·
a
concept plan may be required indicating how the uses for the whole site could
evolve over time.
Staff is recommending that the Kanata and
Regional Official Plans be amended to introduce these policies including the
addition of semi-detached dwellings provided the minimum density is achieved.
These policies are detailed in Document 4 and the necessary schedule changes
are attached as Document 3. Council has
supported and approved similar amendments to the Kanata and Regional Official
Plan to allow for lands to be rezoned permitting mixed use development in the
Kanata North Business Park and to the Goulbourn and Regional Official Plan to
allow a similar development in the Kanata South Business Park, south of
Fernbank Road. This application is similar to those previously considered by
Council and can be seen as a housekeeping or technical amendment to bring
forward a type of land use designation and associated policies previously
determined by Council as being appropriate for these lands.
Details of Proposed
Zoning
The applicant is proposing to rezone the
lands from M1A-3 (Light Industrial Select – Exception 3), M1D (Light Industrial
Automotive), and Hazard (HZD) Zone to M1A-XX (A new special exception Light
Industrial Select Zone), CG-XX (A new special exception General Commercial
Zone) and R3A-XX (A new special exception Residential Type 3 Zone) and OS1
(Open Space Type One Zone).
Staff
is recommending that By-laws 135-93 and 168-94 of the former City of Kanata be
amended as detailed in Document 6 to include the following zones and associated
provisions.
(Residential
Type 3A Special Exception Zone)
A new special exception residential zone, as
outlined in Document 6 is being proposed for the majority of lands to
accommodate a variety of housing types.
The purpose of the zone would be to permit a flexible range of
ground-oriented, medium density residential dwelling types. The zone would permit semi-detached
dwellings, multiple attached dwellings (townhomes and stacked townhome units)
and apartment dwellings. In particular, special provisions would be added to
the by-law to allow a greater proportion of the dwelling unit to be used for a
home based business use than is normally permitted in the Zoning By-law. This
site specific provision is being introduced to facilitate and encourage the
introduction of home-based businesses and take advantage of the available fibre
optic network. As noted above to ensure
a mix of residential uses, zone provisions would be included in the by-law to
require a minimum density of 25 units per net hectare.
Open Space Type One
This zone presently applies to the Monahan
Drain (including a 20 metres buffer on each side). The proposed by-law would
extend this zoning to include the 2.7 ha Community Park shown on the Concept
Plan in Document 2. This zone permits a
conservation use, park and public use.
General Commercial Special Exception
This zone is proposed to apply to lands
fronting on both sides of Cope Drive and is intended to accommodate live/work
units similar in exterior design to those found along Centrepointe Drive in the
former City of Nepean. This zone would
limit the general commercial uses to office (financial, business and
professional), day nursery, personal service shop and clinic and would permit
dwelling units on the second and third floors.
Light Industrial Select Special Exception
This area would remain zoned M1A, with a new
exception zone created to increase the permitted gross floor area to four times
the lot area and permit office as a primary use, in an effort to ensure preservation of the Business Park’s
employment target.
Approval of these Official Plan amendments
and Zoning By law amendments will provide the opportunity to contribute to
Council’s objectives with respect to the Broadband Plan. The amendment to the
City Council Approved Official Plan would allow the development to include
semi-detached units, as well as, multiple attached, stacked townhouses and
apartments. The Zoning-By law ensures that a density target is met to provide a
medium density development as a minimum. The proposed by-law also includes the introduction
of a zone which permits live/work units, provides more flexibility to the
creation of home based businesses and allows for the industrially zoned lands
to be developed at a higher density than permitted in the existing zoning.
The
site will require subdivision and site plan approval in order to develop the
lands as a mixed-use area. The site details including the road network, the
residential and industrial lot and block layout and stormwater management
facility and pathway locations will be determined through the subdivision
process.
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPLICATIONS
A Preliminary Tree Planting Report and
Conservation Plan and subsequent addendum provided a detailed inventory of
existing vegetation and natural features on the property. The property,
previously agricultural lands and largely disturbed by previous farming
practices, is currently vacant, with some vegetation cover in the northern and
southeast portions. The developer will
attempt to preserve as many trees as possible, concentrating on the future park
and the Monahan Drain area.
The area of the Monahan Drain will be
protected by a 40 metres buffer and enhanced through the subdivision approval
process with a recreational pathway. Connections from the abutting developments
will be required as conditions of development.

AMENDMENT NO. 32
OFFICIAL PLAN FOR THE
CITY OF OTTAWA (2003)
Part A - The Preamble does not constitute part of this Amendment.
Part B - The Amendment, consisting of the following text constitutes Amendment No. 32 to the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa (2003).
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Amendment is to change the Enterprise Area text in the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa to add a site-specific policy for 5271 Fernbank Road.
2. Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are known
municipally as 5271 Fernbank Road. The
lands have a site area of approximately 53 hectares and are bounded to the north by a hydro
corridor, on the east by Eagleson Road, and on the west by an unopened road
allowance (Didsbury Road, formerly First Line Road). The Monahan Drain also transects the site. The site is part of the 187-hectare Kanata
South Business Park, which has mostly developed with light industrial and
office uses to the north of the subject lands.
3. Basis
This Amendment relates to a mixed-use development known as SoHo West, which is proposed on the subject lands. The development consists of approximately 1 200 residential units, including 73 ‘Chambers Style’ residential/personal service units along Cope Drive, a 2.7 ha park and a 3-hectare business/employment parcel. As part of the servicing for the lands, the developer will be installing Fibre to the Home (FTTH) for the entire development.
The site is designated Business Park in the former Regional Official Plan and Restricted Industrial in the former City of Kanata Official Plan. The Council Approved City of Ottawa Official Plan designates these lands Enterprise Area, a designation which allows for the land to be developed for residential purposes as long as certain criteria are met.
Zoning By-law amendment and subdivision applications were submitted for the SoHo West development with the intent to develop the lands with a mix of residential and employment uses in accordance with the Enterprise Area policies. At the time of submission, it was anticipated that the Council Approved Official Plan would be in full force and effect by the time the subdivision application had advanced to the approval stage of the planning process. Due to the number and complexity of the appeals however, the new Plan is not yet in effect and the Kanata and Regional Official Plans still prevail.

Part A - The Preamble does not constitute part of this Amendment.
Part B - The Amendment, consisting of the following text and map (designated Schedule “A”), constitutes Amendment No. 58 to the Official Plan of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton.
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Amendment is to change the land use designation of 5271 Fernbank Road from a “Business Park” designation to a new “Business Park – Special Policy Area” designation. The lands affected by this Amendment are identified on Schedule “A” to this Amendment, being a part of Schedule “B”, Urban Policy Plan, to the Official Plan of the former Region of Ottawa-Carleton. The Amendment also adds text for the new “Business Park – Special Policy Area” designation.
2. Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are known
municipally as 5271 Fernbank Road. The
lands have a site area of approximately 53 hectares and are bounded to the north by a hydro

· where townhouses form part of the proposal, they must be a logical extension of adjacent residential areas and be linked to those areas by road, if possible, but definitely by a pedestrian /cycling linkage;
· at least 50 per cent of the developable land in the Enterprise area will be devoted to employment uses; and
· a concept plan may be required indicating how the uses for the whole site could evolve over time.
This Amendment to the former Regional Official Plan and a concurrent amendment to the former City of Kanata Official Plan will introduce these policies including the addition of semi-detached dwellings provided the minimum density is achieved. Council has supported and approved similar amendments to the Kanata and Regional Official Plan to allow for lands to be rezoned permitting mixed use development in the Kanata North Business Park and to the Goulbourn and Regional Official Plan to allow a similar development in the Kanata South Business Park, south of Fernbank Road. This Amendment is similar to those previously considered by Council and can be seen as a housekeeping or technical amendment to bring forward a type of land use designation and associated policies previously determined by Council as being appropriate for these lands.
1. Introduction
All of this part of this document entitled Part B - The Amendment, consisting of the following text and the attached map designated Schedule “A” to Amendment No. 58, constitutes Amendment No. 58 to the Official Plan of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton.
2. Details
The following changes are hereby made to the Official Plan of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton:
1. That Schedule “B”, Urban Policy Plan, is hereby amended by changing the land use designation of 5271 Fernbank Road from “Business Park” to “Business Park – Special Policy Area” as shown on Schedule “A” to this Amendment.
2. That Section 4.4, Business Parks, be amended by adding the following policy 4.4.14 after policy 4.4.13:
"4.4.14 Notwithstanding Business Park Policies contained within Section 4.4, lands designated Business Park - Special Policy Area shall be developed in conformity with the following policies:
1) Commercial, office and industry are the primary land uses. Residential uses may also be considered in accordance with criteria set out in policy 5 below.
2) The Zoning By-law will permit a variety of industrial and employment-generating uses such as warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, communications, storage, construction, office, institutional research and development uses of a type which are compatible with residential uses.
3) The Zoning By-law will not permit industrial uses with characteristics that are likely to impact negatively on surrounding areas (e.g., industrial uses that produce odours, smoke, heavy equipment movement, large areas of outdoor storage, or noise) from those uses that are likely to have negligible such impacts (e.g., offices or research and development facilities).
4) The Zoning By-law will permit a variety of complementary uses, such as convenience retail, personal service businesses, and recreational uses to serve the employees of the site, the general public in the immediate vicinity and passing traffic. Convenience retail is the only form of retail permitted.
5) Applications to provide for residential uses will be considered provided the following criteria are met:
a) All housing is in the form of townhouses, stacked townhouses or apartments. Semi-detached dwellings can be permitted as long as the minimum residential density required in the Zoning By-law is achieved.
b) Where townhouses form part of the proposal, they must be a logical extension of adjacent residential areas and be linked to those areas by road, if possible, but definitely by a pedestrian/cycling linkage;
c) At least 50 per cent of the developable land within the Kanata South Business Park will be devoted to employment uses;
d) The City will require a concept plan indicating how the uses for the whole site could evolve over time.
e) The introduction of residential uses will not detract from the ability of the area to achieve its original employment target."
3. Implementation
The implementation of this Amendment to the Official Plan shall be in accordance with the respective policies of the Official Plan of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton, and with the provisions of By-law 135-93, as amended, being the Zoning By-law for the Kanata South Business Park.

OFFICIAL PLAN
OF THE CITY OF KANATA
THE
STATEMENT OF COMPONENTS
Part A - The Preamble does not constitute part of this Amendment.
Part B - The Amendment, consisting of the following text and map (designated Schedule “A”), constitutes Amendment No. 79 to the Official Plan of the City of Kanata.
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Amendment is to change the land use designation of 5271 Fernbank Road from a “Restricted Industrial” designation to a new “Restricted Industrial – Special Policy Area” designation. The lands affected by this Amendment are identified on Schedule “A” to this Amendment, being a part of Schedule “B”, Urban Area – Land Use, to the Official Plan of the former City of Kanata. The Amendment also adds text for the new “Restricted Industrial – Special Policy Area” designation.
2. Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are known
municipally as 5271 Fernbank Road. The
lands have a site area of approximately 53 hectares and are bounded to the north by a hydro
corridor, on the east by Eagleson Road, and on the west by an unopened road
allowance (Didsbury Road, formerly First Line Road). The Monahan Drain also transects the site. The site is part of the 187-hectare Kanata
South Business Park, which has mostly developed with light industrial and
office uses to the north of the subject lands.
The lands affected by the Amendment are highlighted on Schedule “A” to this Amendment, which is a portion of Schedule “B”, Urban Area - Land Use, to the Official Plan of the former City of Kanata.
3. Basis
This Amendment relates to a mixed-use development known as SoHo West, which is proposed on the subject lands. The development consists of approximately 1 200 residential units, including 73 ‘Chambers Style’ residential/personal service units along Cope Drive, a 2.7 ha park and a 3-hectare business/employment parcel. As part of the servicing for the lands, the developer will be installing Fibre to the Home (FTTH) for the entire development.
The site is designated Business Park in the former Regional Official Plan and Restricted Industrial in the former City of Kanata Official Plan. The Council Approved City of Ottawa Official Plan designates these lands Enterprise Area, a designation which allows for the land to be developed for residential purposes as long as certain criteria are met.
Zoning By-law amendment and subdivision applications were submitted for the SoHo West development with the intent to develop the lands with a mix of residential and employment uses in accordance with the Enterprise Area policies. At the time of submission, it was anticipated that the Council Approved Official Plan would be in full force and effect by the time the subdivision application had advanced to the approval stage of the planning process. Due to the number and complexity of the appeals however, the new Plan is not yet in effect and the Kanata and Regional Official Plans still prevail. In order to proceed with the Zoning By-law amendment and subdivision approval and render a decision, it is necessary to amend both the Kanata and Regional Official Plans to introduce the Enterprise Area policies and allow for the proposed development.
In addition, the applicant has requested a site-specific amendment to the Council Approved City of Ottawa Official Plan to allow semi-detached units in the Enterprise Area. Currently, the criteria permitting residential uses in the Enterprise Area (Section 3.6.5 – 8) requires that “All housing is in the form of townhouses, stacked townhouses or apartments...”
Council Approved City of Ottawa Official Plan
The proposed development includes approximately 1 200 residential units, comprised of a mix of ‘carriage homes’ (similar to a semi-detached dwelling), row dwellings, stacked row dwellings and apartments. The City Council Approved Enterprise Area policies do not currently permit ‘carriage homes’, the intent being that land converted from employment to residential be developed at medium to high density. The density of the proposed development is approximately 25 units per net hectare, the same density as if the entire area were developed only as row dwellings.
This development proposal, as noted above, includes the provision of fibre optic cable to each unit (residential, commercial and industrial). This development would be unique to Ottawa and to Canada.
The proposed development will provide added benefit, which goes beyond those of a standard residential development. The Council approved ‘Broadband Plan’ states that ‘broadband services to the home are clearly a requirement of a well-planned and serviced municipality.’ By providing Fibre to the Home (FTTH) for each residential unit for the development, the proposed development provides the opportunity for the following benefits:
· Reduce daily commuter traffic by promoting teleworking via broadband from the home;
· Bridge the "digital divide" between urban and rural Ottawa and foster economic development outside the urban core;
· Enable home-based businesses to build, test and bring to market new high-bandwidth applications and services; and
· Expand the City's innovation economy by connecting businesses, organizations and people with ideas efficiently and cost effectively through broadband infrastructure and services.
The concurrent amendment to the Council Approved City of Ottawa Official Plan will add a site-specific policy to the Enterprise Area designation to allow one additional housing type, semi-detached dwelling/carriage homes, to the list of housing forms for this specific development, as long as a minimum density target of 25 units per net hectare is met. This density target will be listed in the Zoning By-law for the lands. The proposed development meets all other requirements of the Council Approved Official Plan as it relates to residential uses within the Enterprise Area.
Former Regional and Local Official Plan
The Enterprise Area designation identifies areas where commercial, office, and industrial are the primary land uses. Policies in Section 3.6.5 of the Council Approved Official Plan, state that the Enterprise Area will permit a variety of industrial and employment generating uses, such as warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, communications, storage, construction, office, institutional research and development uses and retail uses. The designation will also permit a variety of complimentary uses, such as convenience retail, personal service businesses, and recreational uses to serve employees and the general public in the immediate area. The designation also permits residential uses provided that the residential component does not limit the ability of the area to achieve its original employment target and the development proposal meets the following criteria:
· all housing is in the form of townhouses, stacked townhouses or apartments;
· where townhouses form part of the proposal, they must be a logical extension of adjacent residential areas and be linked to those areas by road, if possible, but definitely by a pedestrian /cycling linkage;
· at least 50 per cent of the developable land in the Enterprise area will be devoted to employment uses; and
· a concept plan may be required indicating how the uses for the whole site could evolve over time.
This Amendment to the City of Kanata Official Plan and a concurrent Amendment to the former Regional Official Plan will introduce these policies including the addition of semi-detached dwellings provided the minimum density is achieved. Council has supported and approved similar amendments to the Kanata and Regional Official Plan to allow for lands to be rezoned permitting mixed use development in the Kanata North Business Park and to the Goulbourn and Regional Official Plan to allow a similar development in the Kanata South Business Park, south of Fernbank Road. This Amendment is similar to those previously considered by Council and can be seen as a housekeeping or technical amendment to bring forward a type of land use designation and associated policies previously determined by Council as being appropriate for these lands.
