1.             COMPREHENSIVE FIVE-YEAR REVIEW OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN - PUBLIC MEETING

 

RÉVISION QUINQUÉNNALE DÉTAILLÉE DU PLAN OFFICIEL - ASSEMBLÉE PUBLIQUE

 

 

JOINT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS AS AMENDED

 

(This matter is subject to Bill 51)

 

That Council approve the following:

 

1.         That further to the Jellett motion regarding Schedules R35, R38, R44 and R45, adopt the City of Ottawa Official Plan Amendment on Urban Expansion Areas as shown in Document 4, subject to the following:

 

a.         That the boundary for Area 1C (Schedule R34) be shifted eastward to coincide with the boundary of the escarpment.

 

b.         That in addition to the staff recommended conditions applying to the urban expansion lands, that the following additional conditions apply to the lands east of Cardinal Creek described in the staff report as Area 11:

i.    The City will complete the Cardinal Creek Sub-watershed Plan before Council commences the preparation of an Environmental Management Plan and community design plan for the area. The sub-watershed plan and the Environmental Management Plan will identify the Natural Heritage System, as defined in the proposed Official Plan policies and further identified through on-site investigation, and will recommend means to protect this system in the context of this land being part of the urban area. The EMP will identify the natural features remaining on the land and measures to maintain or restore their ecological function.

ii.   Prior to the redesignation of Area 11 as part of the Urban Area by the City the landowner(s) will:

·        Transfer the lands identified by the Sub-watershed Plan and the Environmental Management Plan as the natural heritage system to the City as public land for the sum of $1.

·        Provide a written undertaking to plant a minimum of $250,000 value of trees as part of the development of this area and ensure that a portion are butternut trees, an endangered species in the Province of Ontario and a tree common to this area.

·        Provide a written undertaking to construct a pathway connection to Watters Road East and Petrie Island as part of the City’s pathway system.

·        Provide a written undertaking to contribute a minimum of $250,000 for the construction of a new sports complex in the vicinity of Cardinal Village.

·        Undertake to hold quarterly on-going public consultations with the community on all key planning and development matters related to this community over the next five years.

iii.  In order to accommodate the increased traffic demand from Area 11 the traffic studies that support the community design plan will identify:

·        The timing and need for widening of Ottawa Road 174 and the early provision of traffic control measures to ensure a safe and secure access to this busy road.

·        The timing and need for widening of Old Montreal Road through the study area to Trim Road.

·        The need for widening and the need to advance the construction of the Trim Road realignment from Ottawa Road 174 to Innes Road.

·        The provision for adequate public transit to this new community.

iv.  That landowner(s) provide a buffer for the land adjacent to Frank Kenny Road, similar to the buffer adjacent to Ted Kelly Lane.

v.   That when Council considers the  proposed Urban Tree Conservation By-law, that that it also consider extending the by-law to include additional lands, such as lands within approximately one kilometre of the urban boundary or land approved by Council for urban expansion. This will assist in preventing the Kanata and Cumberland tree clear-cutting experiences from happening in the future. It will also demonstrate the City of Ottawa's leadership in environmental stewardship.

 

2.         Adopt the City of Ottawa Comprehensive Official Plan Amendment dated May 2009 as detailed in Document 13, subject to the following:

 

a.         That Council reinforce its commitment to intensification through:

·        Support for proactive, multi-faceted marketing and incentive programs to promote appropriate intensification;

·        Support of intensification in the target areas in the Plan, with emphasis on rapid transit stations;

·        Support for staff reviewing zoning by-laws and secondary plans in intensification target areas to ensure that targets can be met within established zoning;

·        Support for the proposed intensification working group and its objective to coordinate all City practices, by-laws and administration to support intensification and lead discussions with all external stakeholders such as school boards and utilities to improve the success of the residential land strategy;

·        Support for design review to ensure high quality development in target areas; and

·        Support for the Capacity Management Strategy to provide infrastructure capacity in intensification areas.

 

b.         That the appropriate wording be brought forward for Council’s consideration of the comprehensive Official Plan Amendment that will provide:

i.    A moratorium be placed on the creation of new Country Lot Estate Subdivisions and Conservation Lot Subdivisions which moratorium shall end at the earlier of five years from the adoption of the Amendment or the coming into force of an Official Plan Amendment that addresses the matters in Recommendation 2 of this motion;

ii.   That during the moratorium staff be instructed to study issues around Country Lot Estate subdivisions, particularly “cluster” developments, including:

·        Whether the clustering of Country Lot Subdivisions has the potential to cause problems with groundwater that are not picked up in the studies for a single subdivision

·        How much growth will be encouraged in the long term in these areas and whether in fact the presence of these settlement areas will encourage country lot development where it may otherwise not have been contemplated

·        The implications of such development on the need for communal services and the feasibility of providing such

·        The relationship between these clusters, as complete communities, and existing villages 

·        How the presence of clusters of Country Lot Estate subdivisions on the edge of the urban boundary will affect any expansion of the urban boundary, particularly efforts to avoid building over prime agricultural land and rural natural features

·        Costs to the taxpayer of providing services

·        Impact on the Official Plan objective of sustainability

·        Impact on character of Rural Ottawa.

iii.  That prior to reporting back to Council, have staff consult with the community and in particular consult with the rural working groups who contributed to the Rural Settlement Strategy:

·        If there is support for cluster development, seek to achieve consensus on where and how big these clusters should be since this approach will remove development rights from properties outside of these areas.

·        Assess how willing the rural community is to accept more intense development around them, especially residents already within these clusters.

·        Recognizing the impact of country lot estate development on residents of the urban area, include residents of communities inside the urban boundary most affected by traffic and pressure on city services like recreation from country lot estates and groups concerned about the cost of growth.

 

c.         The Village of Sarsfield Plan in Volume 2C of the City Official Plan is hereby amended by:

i.    re-designating the land shown by heavy outline and a note on the attached Schedule A, from ‘Village-Residential’ to ‘Village-Mixed-Use’; and
