West Carleton Community Complex
5670 Carp Road, Kinburn
Vision Statement
Introduction
The Village Plan Review project will evaluate and update the existing Official Plan policies, which guide development for all villages including the Village of Kinburn. A Village Plan analysis and Village Profile has been completed for Kinburn to evaluate the existing policy and development situation of the village.
Village Plan Analysis
The Village Secondary Plan policies for Kinburn were extracted from the former Township of West Carleton Official Plan that existed prior to amalgamation. These policies were approved in the 1990s and need to be updated. It is recommended that the policies which apply to Kinburn be consolidated with the other six sets of village Township policies to create a consistent set of City of Ottawa policies which would apply equally to all villages without an independent plan. This recommended approach will eliminate the need for six separate Township policies and create a policy structure which is similar to what currently exists in Volume 1 of the Official Plan. This approach will alleviate overlap between the existing Township policy documents and create a consistent and easy to read set of Secondary Plan policies to guide future growth in the villages.
The general village plan/policies taken the former Township of West Carleton Official Plan should be updated/replaced with one consistent set of Secondary Plan policies. The following site specific policies for Kinburn that were taken from the Township of West Carleton Official Plan should be deleted as there is direction provided elsewhere in the City of Ottawa Official Plan.
The adequacy of the groundwater from both quantity and particularly the quality aspect shall be of particular concern in the review of any further proposal for residential development. In addition, as indicated on Schedule "G", certain lands may have poor septic tank suitability. Therefore all application for new development shall be supported by information on the adequacy of the groundwater and the suitability of the site for septic tank installation.
The above policy is unnecessary as Section 4.4 of the Official Plan, Water and Wastewater Servicing, addresses servicing issues.
The above policy is unnecessary as the Carp River flood plain has been mapped and implemented through the new comprehensive Zoning By-law.
The above policy is unnecessary as recreation facilities are addressed through the recreation Master Plan. Kinburn does act as a centre for the surrounding area with facilities at the Kinburn Community Centre and Park and at the former West Carleton Township Hall where the new ice pad has recently been built.

Village Profile
Kinburn has a population of 278. There are 24.76 ha of vacant land within the Kinburn village boundary with a potential for an additional 103 dwelling units. The village of Kinburn is serviced via individual well and septic system. The availability of the groundwater from both quantity and particularly the quality aspect and the suitability of the areas for septic tanks are constraints to development in Kinburn. The village has a large supply of vacant land but there has been almost no development in the village over the last 10 years, possibly due to servicing constraints. The Fitzroy Centennial Public School has recently closed which is also a concern to the community.

Servicing
The village of Kinburn is serviced via individual wells and septic systems. The City’s Infrastructure Policy Unit will be working to complete a Village Ground Water Characterization study to assess the groundwater in the village over 2011 and 2012.

Proposed Changes
Consolidate the existing six sets of Township Official Plan policy – which applies to 20 villages – into one consistent set of City of Ottawa, Secondary Plan policy to apply equally to all villages without an independent plan.
The spring 2011 public consultation session will help to inform the new consolidated Secondary Plan for villages. This session will:
- Develop a vision statement for the village
- Identify any specific needs for the village that need to be addressed in specific policy
- Comment on an updated Land Use Schedule for the village
Next Steps
Staff anticipate going back to the public in the fall of 2011 with the results of the spring public consultation sessions and to present the recommended Official Plan amendment to adopt new consolidated and improved village Secondary Plan policies and schedules.
Following the fall public consultation, Staff anticipate taking a report to Committee and Council in late 2011 to report public consultation concerns and present recommend updates to the Official Plan – Volume 2C (Village Plans).
