WHEREAS the Official Plan Technical Amendment proposes a change to Schedule D, Rapid Transit Network, to reposition an incorrectly located proposed station on the North-South LRT line south of Lester Road at the airport spur;

 

AND WHEREAS the North-South Corridor LRT Project Environmental Assessment Report actually shows the proper location of the station to serve this area as being two station locations - at the Airport Parkway/Uplands Drive and at Lester Road;

 

AND WHEREAS the proposed Technical Amendment would correct this error for the Airport Parkway/Uplands station but inadvertently not for the further location at Lester Road;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Schedule 1 to the Technical Amendment be revised to also show the addition of the EA approved transit station at Lester Road and the future North-South LRT line.

 

                                                                                                CARRIED

AND WHEREAS “Part B – The Amendment” neglects to include the required wording to amend policies 9 and 10;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT part b – The Amendment be amended to

                                                                                                CARRIED

 

The Committee received a memo dated 2 February from the General Manager of Planning and Growth Management stating there were no risk implications in the report.  A copy of the memo is held on file.  The Committee also received an amendment from staff (reflected below), which resulted from discussions with an interested party following the previous meeting.  All issues have been resolved through the amendment of Schedule 8 to the Official Plan Amendment.

 

Kevin Yemm, Richcraft was present in support of the amendment.

 

MOTION NO. PLC 28/1

 

Moved by Councillor J. Harder

 

WHEREAS the Official Plan Technical Amendment proposes a change to Schedule B, Urban Policy Plan, to remove the “Developing Community Overlay” from identified lands and to redesignate identified lands from “Mixed Use Centre” to “General Urban Area”; and,

 

WHEREAS the lands identified were not shown correctly;

Janet Bradley of Borden, Ladner, Gervais, indicated her support for the street closure.

 

The Committee noted that Legal staff had prepared a technical amendment to delete one of the conditions which was a factual statement and should therefore not be contained in that section of the report.  The amendment also corrects a minor error in the lot area of 99 Greenfield Avenue.  The Chair indicated he would also add to the amendment:  “Planning Committee makes no recommendation regarding the ultimate disposition as this is a matter with the Term of Reference for FEDCO.”

            Removing Condition #3, which states “When selling the closed road, the City is not legally obliged to offer for sale to an abutting owner all or a portion of a closed road.”

 

b.         “Zoning” section of the staff report be amended as follows:

 

Replacing “406 square metres” with “336 square metres” in reference to the lot area of 99 Greenfield Avenue.

 

Planning Committee makes no recommendation regarding the ultimate disposition as this is a matter with the Term of Reference for FEDCO.

 

                                                                                                CARRIED

ACS2012-ICS-PGM-0043                                                                                               KANATA NORTH (4)

 

 

 

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Planning Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to Zoning By‑law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 760 March Road, from Development Reserve Zone [DR] to Residential Fourth Density Subzone Z urban exception Zone [R4Z(XXXX)] and Open Space Zone [O1], and amend the boundaries of the flood plain hazard overlay, as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Document 2.

 

The Committee received the following written submission, a copy of which is held on file with the City Clerk:

 

a.         F. Blacquiere e-mail dated 13 February 2012

 

Mark Young, Planner, advised Committee that revisions were required to the report because reference to a Zoning By-law Schedule was omitted in the Details of the Zoning By-law Amendment, thereby necessitating a modification to both Document 2 and the Recommendation of the report.  Accordingly, the Committee received revised staff recommendations as set out in Councillor Harder’s motion below.

 

Mr. Young provided an overview of the application and staff’s rationale for recommending approval.  A copy of his PowerPoint presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

The following public delegations were present in support of the amended staff recommendation and the amendment proposed by Councillor Wilkinson and moved by Councillor Monette:

 

Dan Paquette, Paquette Planning

Erin O’Connor and Marcel Denomme, Minto.

                                                                                                CARRIED

 

MOTION NO. PLC 28/5

 

Moved by Councillor J. Harder

 

WHEREAS Report ACS2012-ICS-PGM-0073 recommends certain zoning changes to the lands known municipally as 760 March Road, and;

 

WHEREAS the said report recommends that Document 3 be added as a Schedule to Zoning By-law No. 2008-250 and apply to the lands at 760 March Road, but Document 2 does not reflect the addition of the Schedule to the zoning for these lands;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Planning Committee approve the following changes to Report ACS2012-ICS-PGM-0073:

 

That the Recommendation be replaced with the following:

 

“That the Planning Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to Zoning By‑law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 760 March Road, from Development Reserve Zone [DR] to Residential Fourth Density Subzone Z urban exception Zone with a Schedule [R4Z(XXXX) SXXX] and Open Space Zone with a Schedule [O1 SXXX], and amend the boundaries of the flood plain hazard overlay, as shown in Document 1 and as detailed in Documents 2 and 3.

 

That the legend of Document 1 be amended by adding after the text “R4Z[XXXX]” and “O1” the text “SXXX” wherever they appear, so that they read “R4Z[XXXX] SXXX” and “O1 SXXX” respectively.

 

That Document 2 be amended by replacing item 1 with the following:

 

“1.       The Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 will be amended by rezoning the subject lands and revising the boundaries of the flood plain hazard overlay on the subject lands shown on Document 1 as follows:

 

a.         Area A from DR to R4Z[XXXX] SXXX.

b.         Area B from DR to O1 SXXX.

c.         Area C from DR to O1 SXXX and over which the flood plain hazard overlay is to be added.

d.         Area D from DR to R4Z[XXXX] SXXX and from which the flood plain hazard overlay is to be removed.”

 

That there be no further notice pursuant to Section 34 (17) of the Planning Act.”

 

                                                                                                CARRIED

 

The report recommendation was then put to Committee and CARRIED as amended by Motion Nos. PLC 28/4 and PLC 28/5.

 

 

5.         ZONING – 1683 MERIVALE ROAD

ZONAGE – 1683, CHEMIN MERIVALE

ACS2012-ICS-PGM-0044                                                                                 KNOXDALE-MERIVALE (9)

 

 

 

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Planning Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of part of 1683 Merivale Road from AM5[193] H(34)to AM5[****]S***, as detailed in Document 2 and as shown on Documents 1 and 3.

 

The Committee received the following written submissions, copies of which are held on file with the City Clerk:

 

a.         L. Campbell submission dated 7 February 2012

b.         G. Lemieux e-mail dated 10 February 2012

c.         J. Groen e-mail dated 10 February 2012

 

Simon Deiaco, Planner, provided an overview of the application and staff’s rationale for recommending approval.  A copy of his PowerPoint presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

Laurie Campbell, resident, Crystelle Building stated that while she supported the proposal to construct the retirement residence, in principle, she had the following concerns:

·         Set-back and fence line separating the Crystelle Building from the proposed buildings; owners living in the upper floors will receive little or no compensation from the proposed landscaping which is to help compensate for the lack of view due to the differences in height between the two buildings.

·         Underground parking should be of an appropriate depth to ensure it does not impact negatively on the landscaping on the property or become a burden for future owners of the building.  The long-term maintenance needs to be considered.


Additional details are contained in her letter dated 7 February, a copy of which is held on file.

 

Brian Casagrande, FoTenn Consultants, and Peter Malhotra, Claridge Homes, were present on behalf of the applicant in support of the application.

 

The report recommendation was put to Committee and CARRIED, as presented, with the following directions to staff:

 

DIRECTIONS TO STAFF

 

            That Claridge Homes commit to carrying out a pre-construction review and inspection of the Crystelle Building in order to provide a comparison after construction.

 

            That Claridge Homes confirm that as a condition of site plan, they are agreeable to paying for the cost of the street lighting on Grant Carman Drive.

7.            EXCHANGE OF INCREASED HEIGHT OR DENSITY FOR COMMUNITY BENEFITS - IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

ACS2012-ICS-PGM-0010                                                        City Wide/ à l'échelle de la Ville

 

REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS

 

That the Planning Committee recommend that Council approve:

 

1.                  The “Guidelines and Protocol for the Implementation of Section 37 of the Planning Act” contained in Document 2; and

 

2.                  An amendment to the Delegation of Authority By-law, By-law Number 2002-4, to delegate signing authority for Section 37 Agreements to the General Manager, Planning and Growth Management, with the concurrence of the Councillor for the ward in which the development project is located.

 

3.                  Direct staff to return to Planning Committee in March 2013 with a report that provides an assessment of the implementation of the Section 37 Guidelines and Protocol and in particular a review of the appropriateness of the land value uplift methodology and the application of the policy in suburban areas.

 

The Committee received the following written submissions, copies of which are held on file with the City Clerk:

 

a.         Stittsville Village Association letter dated 14 February 2012

b.         The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Ottawa e-mail dated 13 February 2012

 

John Moser, General Manager, Planning and Growth Management introduced the item.  Stanley Wilder, Planner, and Alain Miguelez, Program Manager, Development Review Process (Urban), provided a detailed overview of the item before Committee.  A copy of their PowerPoint presentation is held on file with the City Clerk.

 

Committee heard from the following public delegations:

 

Raymond Sullivan, Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation, made the following two suggestions for changes to the draft Section 37 Guidelines:

 

Section 2.3

Add a paragraph saying: "for capital-intensive community benefits such as daycare centres and affordable housing, when supported by a community design plan or other community consultation the Ward Councillor will establish a dedicated ward reserve for daycare and housing.

 

Section 3.2

The text should be replaced with: "The payment of community benefits secured as cash will be required, as a condition of the Section 37 agreement, prior to issuing an above-grade building permit.  Where the particular circumstances warrant, for example where restoration of a heritage building is to be carried out prior to the construction of the new portion of the development, or a community facility is needed sooner rather than later for good planning reasons, the payment(s) may be secured at an earlier appropriate trigger."

 

Additional details are contained in his written submission dated 13 February 2012 previously circulated and held on file.

 

Patrick Quealey, Environmental Advisory Committee, spoke in support of the item, but provided the following comments:

·         The EAC preferred the City’s initial threshold of 5000 sqare metres rather than the current size listed in Section 2.5 for choosing a 7000 sqare metre building as the minimum for invoking S.37.  They believe 25per centor greater increase over what is permitted through as-of-right zoning as the additional S.37 trigger, is too high and should be reduced to 15 or 20per cent.  If the 7000 square metre and 25 per cent double trigger is accepted as is, they recommend including provision for the City to invoke S.37 regardless of thresholds in exceptional and specific situations.

·         Section 2.10 should provide greater clarity on how the Committee of Adjustment will be encouraged to work with the City to realize S.37 benefits and what actions are at the City’s disposal should the Committee of Adjustment ignore the City’s request for a s.37 benefit.

·         The EAC would like to see a mechanism where, in addition to staff, the Ward Councillor or community could raise the possibility of a Section 37 benefit.

A copy of his written submission is held on file.

 

Martin Laplante suggested the following changes to the proposal:

·         Section 37 must be a transparent process; having the Section 37 Agreement executed prior to the introduction of the by-law that implements the Zoning By-law Amendment for the increased density and/or height is too late for a transparent process; a number of jurisdictions have a local plebiscite

·         All residential upzoning requests in the designated areas must go through this process; there should not be a 25per cent threshold

·         Restore Floor Space Index (FSI)

·         Make the second zoning maximum explicit and downzone the original

·         Better eligibility criteria

Additional details are contained in his written submission, a copy of which is held on file.

 

Leslie Maitland, Heritage Ottawa, indicated support for various sections of the Implementation Guidelines, but hoped Section 37 would not be used to the detriment of heritage.  She also made the following comments:

·         The funds obtained under the proposed Guidelines may not be sufficient to have any significant effect on retention or preservation of heritage resources.

·         Implementing Section 37 as proposed will routinely result in little or no community benefits, including conservation of heritage resources, actually being achieved.

A copy of her written submission is held on file.

 

Jay Baltz, Federation of Citizens’ Associations, indicated strong support for the item, but submitted the following concerns:

·         They do not agree with the proposal to calculate uplift based on uniform land values determined for large areas of the City.

·         They object strongly to the “drawdown” of benefits based on the relevance of the existing zoning to the Official Plan.

·         They object to the provision which allows the total volume under existing zoning to be redistributed to a taller structure without incurring Section 37 benefits.

 

Additional details are contained in his written submission, a copy of which is held on file.

 

Catherine Boucher, Dalhousie Community Association submitted the following suggested changes to the guidelines:

·         The threshold for building area should be 3000m2, not 7000m2 as recommended.  The threshold for height should be 10 or 12 per cent, not 25 per cent.

·         The portion of all Section 37 benefits automatically ascribed to affordable housing should be prescribed as “minimum 25 per cent”.

·         Where a proposal by-passes the threshold criteria of Section 37 by seeking a Minor Variance, rather than a rezoning, the Guidelines should specifically require staff to recommend to the Committee of Adjustment that the Minor Variance be refused.

·         “Value Uplift” based on merely inner and outer urban, is too general and reduces the value in those areas where redevelopment is most likely.  The number of zones should be substantially increased and fine tuned.

 

A copy of the Community Association’s letter dated 10 January 2012 is held on file.

 

Doug Casey, Charlesfort Development was generally in support of Section 37 but was looking for clarification on several matters:

·         If a developer is changing the shape of a building, but not the density, the report indicates that Section 37 would not be used; however, the preamble in the report states that it would be.

·         If Section 37 is related to good planning and if something can go to the Committee of Adjustment, a separate legal body, it would appear the Planning Committee is overstepping its authority.

 

He suggested that a reasonable time for the timing of payment would be when the condominium is registered.

 

Linda Hoad, Hintonburg Community Association indicated support for many aspects of the Guidelines, but provided the following comments:

·         Opposed to the exemption proposed for redistribution of density as long as the present method of calculation is followed.

·         Strongly opposed policy 2.7 (i) that allows the uplift to be reduced because of the “relevance of zoning to Official Plan, Secondary Plan, and/or Community Design policy.”

·         Strongly opposed policy 2.7. (iii) Implementation of public benefits in the proposed development because some of these items (e.g. plaza, pathways) constitute good urban design, which is a requirement according to the policy.  Suggested this be removed because it pre-empts the consultation proposed elsewhere in the policy.

 

A copy of her written submission is held on file.

 

Michael Casey spoke in opposition to the proposal.  He noted that the City wants to share in the uplift it is creating but it will be onerous on developers to pay these additional costs up front.  He wanted the City to share in the risk and the reward.

 

Christian Pupp spoke in support of Section 37.  With respect to the Development Review Process, he suggested delegating to staff, decisions on how it is calculated, using the average values et cetera.  He wondered if the drawdown for a higher building could be made dependent on the recommendation or the approval of the design review panel.

 

Stephen Pope, Old Ottawa East Community Association, stated that given the low density and low-rise character of his community, this neighbourhood would usually be excluded from any of the Section 37 discussions.  However, they opposed the staff recommendation because of issues associated with valuation and applying a “one size fits all” across the entire urban area.
