BACKGROUND

 

In November 2002, the local community produced a report entitled Beechwood Avenue Revitalization Project which recommended that:

 

 

The City Council Approved Official Plan

 

The City Council Approved Official Plan designates Beechwood Avenue as a Traditional Mainstreet and establishes that the preferred method of planning for Traditional Mainstreets is through the adoption of a Community Design Plan. The purpose of a Community Design Plan is to translate the principles, objectives and policies of the Official Plan to specific areas and streets. A Community Design Plan should be prepared in a comprehensive manner in accordance with Section 2.5.7 and in conformity with Section 3.6.3 of the Official Plan, which provides policy direction for Traditional Mainstreets. The policy direction requires that the City should:

 

 

The Beechwood Community Design Plan conforms to the City Council Approved Official Plan and to the Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan except that:

 

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Recommendation 1a), approve the Beechwood Community Design Plan.

The planning area is identified in Document 1 and the Beechwood Community Design Plan is contained in Document 2. The goal of the Plan is to provide a broad and integrated 20-year vision for the revitalization of the street. The Plan has met all of the objectives contained in the terms of reference and the Official Plan and has been prepared in a collaborative way, in consultation with property owners, businesses and the surrounding community. Refer to Document 3 Consultation Details. The key issues involved with the development of this Plan are described below.

 

Development Strategy

 

A development strategy was prepared for each of three identified sectors of Beechwood Avenue based on the public response to the ideas and recommendations developed at an urban design workshop. Many specific development opportunities have been identified including public improvements such as the entry to Genest Park and  a roundabout by the Beechwood Cemetery.

 

Traffic and Parking

 

A consultant, National Capital Engineering Limited, was hired by the City to review traffic issues and staff undertook a separate and detailed parking review. The two studies reached the following key conclusions:

 

 

Building Height

 

Two views about building height have been consistently expressed throughout the planning process. One view is that building heights should remain low and village-style, with higher mid-rise heights at identified nodes and intersections. The other view is that mid-rise heights should be more prevelant and perhaps there are specific locations for more. The Plan was guided by both views. There were practical reasons to apply added height in some situations, for example, to avoid significant down-zoning and to apply the principles of intensification as expressed in the Official Plan. Where higher heights are permitted, the portion of buildings above three storeys will be setback further from the street so as to present a village-style of development along Beechwood Avenue.

 

The Waterfront Project

 

The purpose of the Waterfront Project is to develop a small pavilion that will allow people to sit by the water during summer months and enjoy the view and perhaps rent a canoe or kayak. Since the City owns the property, it can apply strict performance standards to any future use of the land.

 

It is recommended that the Beechwood Community Design Plan be approved as contained in Document 2.

 

Recommendation 1b, approve the amendment to the Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan.

The Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan contains a provision that caps the maximum residential density for properties that abut Beechwood Avenue, from Acacia Avenue to Oakhill Road on the north side of Beechwood Avenue, at 50.00 units per hectare and the Rockcliffe Park Zoning By-law contains an associated cap of 55.00 units per hectare. This, for example, would mean that the block face from 241 to 251 Beechwood Avenue, which has 57 metres (or 187 feet) of frontage and which presently contains five residential buildings could only accommodate a maximum of eight units at a maximum of 50.00 units per hectare. This maximum unit provision should be eliminated because:

 

The Amendment to the Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan, contained in Document 4, removes the residential density cap along Beechwood Avenue. The list of zoning changes, contained in Document 5, removes the associated residential density cap from the Rockcliffe Park Zoning By-law. It is therefore recommended that these amendments be approved.

 

Recommendation 1c), approve the amendments to the former City of Ottawa Zoning By-law.

 

The CN zoning of the former City of Ottawa is the template that was used to create the new zoning for Beechwood Avenue. Changes include the following:

 

o       Lowered to a maximum 15 m for the properties at 67-127 Beechwood Avenue, 15‑23 Langevin Avenue (east side), 5 Champlain Street (east side), 143 Putman Avenue (east side)

o       Increased to 15 m for the properties at 11 Champlain Street, and 21-23 Langevin Avenue

o       Increased to 25 m at the intensification site identified in a hatched marking on Map 2 in Document 5.

 

Recommendation 1d), approve the amendments to the former City of Vanier Zoning By-law.

The CN zoning of the former City of Ottawa is the template that was used to create the new zoning for Beechwood Avenue. Changes to the Vanier By-law include the following:

 

 

Recommendation 1e), approve the amendments to the former Village of Rockcliffe Park Zoning By-law.  The existing RD9 residential zoning remains for those Rockcliffe properties along Beechwood Avenue with the following changes applied to the properties at 2 Acacia Street, 207 Beechwood Avenue and 229 to 255 Beechwood Avenue:

 

 

Once approved by Council, the Beechwood zoning changes mentioned above will be integrated with the revised draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law that will be prepared in advance of the public hearings for the Comprehensive Zoning By-law in early 2007. The Beechwood zoning changes respect the principles and basic standards for Traditional Mainstreets as contained in the draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law and have been modified where appropriate to reflect the unique circumstances of Beechwood Avenue and the planning directions contained in the Community Design Plan.

 

Visualization Techniques

As part of the community design plan project, the City undertook to explore four visualization techniques as part of a pilot project in the undertaking of community design plans:

 

Three of the techniques have been finalized and the products of all three are contained in the Beechwood Community Design Plan. These techniques proved to be successful tools in the planning process. They enabled the project team to make more informed decisions and helped the public to more clearly understand some of the urban design concepts presented in the Plan. Staff from the Surveys and Mapping Unit of Corporate Services prepared the 3-D Model (in consultation with planning staff).

 

Although PhotoShop illustrations are less time-consuming, they  are more useful at illustrating individual sites or ideas and are best at preparing before and after images.

 

For a skilled designer, the free-hand sketches were the quickest to do. They are better than PhotoShop in depicting exactly what the designer wants to illustrate however the impact is less than a good PhotoShop illustration. 

 

A fourth pilot method of visualization will be completed after the Community Design Plan is approved. Surveys and Mapping staff will create a movie clip of the 3-D Model similar in nature to the movie clips created for the light rail project. The GIS Technical Support Group will also investigate the creation of a 3-D Adobe PDF file for posting on Ottawa.ca. (A draft version of the movie clip is on the City's website under Public Consultation - Beechwood CDP.) It should be noted however that given the current tools, objects such as trees, human figures, cars etc will not appear on either model. If this pilot is successful, it could be used in future Community Design Plans to help the public visualize the future state of their community.

 

CONSULTATION

 

A summary of the public consultation, including the comments received, are detailed in Document 3 attached. Generally, the community and local businesses support the Community Design Plan and the Rockcliffe Park Residents Association supports the Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan Amendment, as submitted.

 

 


FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The Community Design Plan anticipates that the streetscaping improvements will be implemented through the City's regular road maintenance programs. Some specific improvements could be done on a cost and/or revenue sharing basis, such as:

The City has sponsored four public information and comment sessions for the Beechwood Avenue CDP project:

 

 

In all four cases, the public was notified of the session via: direct mail delivery to all property owners and businesses within the planning area, e-mail notice to all those on the contact list. For the first three, notice was also provided via advertisements in community newspapers.

 

The following are the public comments received based on the Summary document presented at the October, 2005 community meeting.

 

 

Nature of Comment

No.

Planning Response

General support for the planning concepts (fully or with minor changes). Lots of good ideas, creative concepts, exciting vision. Heading in the right direction. Like the village concept.

20

This indicates broad support for the planning approach.

Specific support for the following ideas:

§   The roundabout (4);

§   The waterfront concept (3);

§   Anchor stores at either end of Beechwood (2);

§   The entry to Genest Park from Beechwood (2);

§   The Carsdale pedestrian walkway (2).

13

This indicates support for some of the specific ideas mentioned in the CDP summary.

Dedicated bike lanes on Beechwood are preferred. (9) Put the bikes on Barrette. (1)

Bike lanes will congest traffic. (2)

12

It is suggested that dedicated bike lanes be included in the CDP. However there may be choke points that will not be wide enough to accommodate them.

Beechwood is already congested. There is concern that the proposed development may worsen it. (9) Where are all of these people going to park? (1) People worried about congestion are not necessarily against the CDP. (1)

11

The City hired National Capital Engineering to undertake a Transportation Review of the Planning Area.

§   Congestion will worsen west of Springfield with or without the development proposed in the CDP.

§   Congestion is not a serious issue east of Springfield.

Reduce the size of the bump-outs so they do not restrict on-street parking. They are hazardous to cyclists and motorists.

9

The bump-outs are proposed to provide a pedestrian-focus for the street similar to Laurier Avenue East. They are subject to further consultation upon implementation (in the future).

A certain amount of density and traffic is necessary. The City should press on with the CDP. Higher buildings should be permitted:

§       At some intensification sites;

§       East of Marier (south side);

§       Between Champlain Street and Chapleau (north side)

§       At 131 Beechwood Avenue.

 

7

Adjust the development strategy in the CDP and the zoning provisions to reflect the following changes to building height:

§                               Increase from 3-storeys (Vanier By-law) to 20 m on the south side between Charlevoix and Loyer, at the 7-Eleven property and between Marier and the Fire Station;

§                   Keep the 20 m height for the property at 131 Beechwood Avenue;

§                   Only decrease from 18 m to 15 m, instead of the 11 m as was first proposed, between Champlain Street and Chapleau;

§                   Increase of 18 m to 25 m at the intensification site as illustrated on Maps 2 and 3 of Document 5.

Keep the street narrow. No more than one lane each way with on street parking to calm traffic.

6

The CDP proposes to keep the street as narrow as possible without adversely affecting its function as a transportation corridor.

Discourage cut-through traffic in New Edinburgh and on Crichton, Barrette and Charlevoix Streets. Make Barrette one-way at Marier to reduce eastbound traffic.

6

Recommend that Traffic and Parking Operations staff review these ideas for implementation.

The CDP should promote transit. (4) Could we get light rail on Beechwood? (1)

5

The CDP will integrate bus transit, as it exists today. A Light Rail EA for the Rideau-Montreal Road Corridor is underway and will include an evaluation of the Beechwood-Hemlock corridor.

Ensure development is controlled and sustainable, not too high. Do not over-develop.

5

All development proposed in the Planning Area is infill to mid-rise in height. High-rise development is not permitted.

Another traffic signal is needed for pedestrians to cross along the eastern part of Beechwood.

3

At the present time, warrants do not justify signalizing the Joliet Street intersection. This could change as the Rockliffe Node develops. The signalization of the intersection could be a condition of development approval.

Snow banks and parking on both sides of the street blocks traffic. Barrette, Putman, Douglas.

3

Recommend that Traffic and Parking Operations staff review the idea of eliminating parking from one side of Douglas Street during winter months.

Remove the morning peak period parking between Springfield and Douglas (Second Cup). (2)

Extend the afternoon peak period parking prohibition from 5:30 to 6:30 between the Vanier Parkway and Charlevoix. (1)

3

Recommend that Traffic and Parking Operations staff review both ideas for implementation.

The St. Charles Sector should not be singled-out as a heritage sector.

2

The references to heritage character in relation to the St. Charles Sector should be changed to village character.

Delivery trucks for The Works are problematic. As a suggestion, convert the Bus Stop in front of The Works to a Loading Zone.

2

Recommend that Traffic and Parking Operations staff review this idea for implementation.

Do not permit commercial at Loyer.

1

Initially, commercial uses were proposed at the corner of Loyer and Barrette Streets. This provision has been removed from the CDP and the list of zoning changes.

Do not rezone property at 139 Putman.

1

Keep existing zoning.

Don’t eliminate private parking spaces.

1

Many of the references to reduced parking in the proposed zoning reflect variances for approved developments on existing properties. Two situations were added, one for the Loeb property and the other for the Adjust property as a means to encourage the right kind of infill development. Both should remain in the Plan.

Proposed rear and side yard setbacks will restrict development potential.

 

1

The “all other cases” rear yard setback in the proposed zoning provisions is 3.0 m when there is no minimum in the existing by-law. The “default” setback has been returned to no minimum.

Remove 255-259 Beechwood Avenue from the Planning Area.

1

259 Beechwood Avenue has been removed from the Planning Area.

Conservation Authority

§   Changes to the EW zoning should continue to have a 30-metre setback.

§   RVCA permits required in the EW area;

§   Geotechnical review for slope stability;

§   Evaluation required for significant fish habitat.

1

Development within the Special Waterfront Area will be required to respect the 30 m setback and any studies will have to be submitted if required by the Conservation Authority.

Ottawa Hydro

Possible conflict between building setbacks and the existing overhead high voltage lines.

 

1

Add the following provision:

§                   In the case of a hydro pole, the setback may be 2 m, and from a high voltage power line, the setback may be 5 m.

Rockcliffe Park Residents Association

§   Support the height increase from 10.6 m to 12.5 m at 241-251 Beechwood Avenue.

§   Support removing the FSI ratio in the RD9 Zone.

§   Opposed to adding the three proposed uses: home occupations, bed and breakfast and artist studio.

1

The Official Plan requires that development opportunities be identified through the CDP process.

 

§                     The zoning height will be increased from 10.6 m to 12.5 m for the properties at 2 Acacia Street, 207 Beechwood Avenue and 229-255 Beechwood Avenue.

§                     The FSI ratio is removed.

§                     A home-based business is added.

§                     An Official Plan amendment is required to remove the maximum residential density of 50.00 units per hectare that relates to these properties in the Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan.

 

 

 


 

The following are the multiple comments (two or more) provided by the public on or after the July 5, 2006 Community Consultation held at St. Charles Church.

 

Public Comment

No.

Planning Response

Do not permit a restaurant on the waterfront lands. Perhaps a small pavilion would be OK.

6

The restaurant use has been removed.

Positive comments - “very impressive plan”, “well thought-out”, “good effort”, “clearly laid out, excellent”, “like info”.

5

This highlights that there is general public support for the Plan.

Do not permit the 27 m building height on the Loeb block. Concerned about large blank walls.

3

On the Loeb block, the triangular area closest to Charlevoix Street has been removed from Map 3 of Document 5, which reduces its height from 27 m to 20 m.  The second triangular area has been reduced from 27 m to 25 m.

Do not permit buildings higher than three to four storeys along Beechwood Avenue.

3

The requirement that buildings be setback further from the street after three storeys should provide the right balance to attract compatible, village-style development.

Concerned about increased traffic from the Rockcliffe Air Base development.

2

The Transportation Review, prepared by National Capital Engineering, indicates that the development at the Rockcliffe Air Base will not significantly affect the volume of traffic along Beechwood Avenue.

Object to the traffic bottleneck at the Vanier Parkway/Beechwood Avenue intersection.

2

The traffic congestion at the intersection of the Vanier Parkway and Beechwood Avenue will continue with or without the development proposed along Beechwood Avenue. There are no proposals in the streetscape and corridor strategy to reduce the road cross-section at this location.

The Loeb grocery store and accessible parking are important to the surrounding neighbourhood.

2

The Plan proposes to continue to permit a grocery store use on the Loeb block and to allow parking underground.

Oppose parking on the St. Patrick Street Bridge.

2

Parallel parking can be provided on the north side of the bridge without affecting vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic.

Oppose angled parking along Charlevoix Street.

2

Angled parking along Charlevoix may have a positive traffic-calming effect.

Would prefer a plan for a larger area that includes the Rockcliffe Air Base and Claridge lands.

2

A Community Design Plan is being initiated for the Rockcliffe Air Base redevelopment. The Claridge lands are not part of the designated Mainstreet, which is the focus of this CDP.

Bell Canada

For security reasons, Bell does not support the vertical segregation of Bell utility installations.

 

 

The vertical segregation of utility installations has been removed.

THE STATEMENT OF COMPONENTS

 

PART A - THE PREAMBLE, introduces the actual Amendment but does not constitute part of Amendment No. ___ to the City of Ottawa Official Plan.

 

PART B - THE AMENDMENT, consisting of the following text constitutes the actual Amendment No. ___ to the City of Ottawa Official Plan.


 

 

PART A - THE PREAMBLE

 

1.0 Purpose

 

The purpose of this Amendment is to remove the maximum residential density provision (50.00 units per hectare) for specific properties that abut Beechwood Avenue in Rockcliffe Park.  This provision is considered as an additional layer and an unnecessary form of development control. Building setback and height provisions, is sufficient to regulate development. The amendment is intended to implement the Beechwood Community Design Plan.

 

This change requires amendment to Schedule A of the Village of Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan.

 

2.0 Location

 

The lands subject to this Amendment consist of the properties identified by the following addresses, which comprise all of the lands on the north side of Beechwood Avenue within the former Village of Rockcliffe Park between Acacia Avenue and Oakhill Road:

 

 

3.0 Basis

 

The Official Plan (2003) designates Beechwood Avenue as a Traditional Mainstreet and establishes that the preferred method of planning for Traditional Mainstreets is through the adoption of a Community Design Plan. The purpose of a Community Design Plan is to translate the principles, objectives and policies of the Official Plan to specific areas and streets. A Community Design Plan should be prepared in a comprehensive manner in accordance with Figure 2.5.7 of the Official Plan. The Community Design Plan should encourage redevelopment and infill “in order to optimize the use of land through increased building height and density”.

 

The City has undertaken to prepare the Beechwood Community Design Plan, which has established that some of the Rockcliffe Park properties subject to this Amendment are designated as part of the Planning Area.  The Community Design Plan has further established a development strategy for the Rockcliffe Sector, which establishes that these properties are suited to infill development.

 

It has therefore been determined that the Village of Rockcliffe Park Secondary Plan needs to be amended in order to implement the development strategy contained in the Beechwood Community Design Plan and to take advantage of the fact that the subject properties are located along a mainstreet.


 

PART B - THE AMENDMENT

 

 

1.0 The Introductory Statement

 

All of this part of this document entitled Part B - The Amendment, consisting of the following text and the attached map designated Schedule “A”, constitutes Amendment No. ___ to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa.

 

 

2.0 Details of Amendment

 

The following changes are hereby made to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa:

 

  1. That Schedule “A” – Plan of Land Use contained in the “Secondary Plan for Village of Rockcliffe Park” is hereby amended by removing the references to 50.00 as the maximum dwelling units per hectare in relation to the properties that abut Beechwood Avenue between Acacia Avenue and Oakhill Road.

 

 

3.0  Implementation

 

The implementation of this Amendment to the Official Plan shall be in accordance with the respective policies of the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa.
