Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des affaires rurales
recommande au Conseil d’approuver les modifications préconisées dans la Colonne

zonage 2008-250.
On June 25, 2008 City Council adopted Zoning
By-law 2008‑250 affecting all properties within the city. The new Zoning
By-law replaces the 36 Zoning By-laws of the former municipalities. Staff have been monitoring the Zoning By‑law
and identifying anomalies since its adoption.
Reports to correct these anomalies are being forwarded to Committee and
Council for approval on a regular basis.
This report recommends amendments to
correct a number of anomalies in the urban and rural areas of the city. Document 1 provides recommendations for
Planning Committee regarding anomalies in the urban area. Document 2 provides recommendations for Agriculture
and Rural Affairs Committee regarding anomalies in the rural area. Document 3 provides recommendations for the
consideration of both Committees regarding anomalies affecting both the rural
and urban areas. Zoning maps that are
pertinent to site- or area-specific recommendations are included in Document 4.
The recommended amendments are
intended to correct mapping errors, typographical errors and minor technical
drafting errors in the Zoning By-law.
The
rural implications are as outlined in Document 2.
Notice of the public meeting to deal
with these anomalies and corrections was provided in The Citizen and Le Droit,
with a listing of the addresses and provisions subject to correction. As well,
interested parties have been notified by individual mail.

BY THE PLANNING COMMITTEE

Zoning Map and Text
Corrections |

1. 200 Somerset
Street East Schedule
232 Ward 12 |
This property is subject to Schedule 232 of the Zoning
By-law, which illustrates maximum permitted building height and yard setbacks
for King Edward precinct lands. Schedule 232 came into effect in 2010 but a recent survey
of the subject property contradicts some of the dimensions shown on the
schedule. The areas of discrepancy are
internal to the proposed development; all yard setbacks remain the same. It is recommended that Schedule 232 be revised to reflect
the accurate dimensions of the recent survey. |
Amend
Schedule 232 of By-law 2008-250, as shown on the revised schedule in Document
4. |
2. 415 Piccadilly Avenue Ward 15 |
This property is a church, zoned I1A[1465]. Exception [1465] lists a minimum parking requirement of 3.7
parking spaces per 10m2 of gross floor area, which is an exceptionally
high parking requirement that had been implemented through By-law 2007-494. However, the intended parking rate was in
fact 3.7 parking spaces per 100m2. It is recommended that this technical error be amended to
reflect the intended parking rate. |
Amend
Section 239 of By-law 2008-250, Exception [1465]. Under
Column V – Provisions, amend the minimum required parking rate of 3.7 spaces
per 10m2 of gross floor area so that it now reads: -
the parking required for a place of worship is 3.7 spaces per 100m2
of gross floor area |
3. Section 190 Urban Area |
The former Cumberland Zoning By-law contained the CCN zone
– Commercial Convenience Neighbourhood, which was carried forward in By-law
2008-250 as the LC5 – Local Commercial subzone. At the time of the 2008 By-law
consolidation it was intended that only those uses previously permitted under
the former municipalities’ zoning would be carried forward to the LC zones. However, ‘restaurant’, which was previously permitted in
the CCN zone, was not carried forward as it should have been. It is therefore recommended that ‘restaurant,
full service’ be added as a permitted use in the LC5 subzone. |
Amend
Subsection 190(5)(a) of By-law 2008-250 by adding “restaurant, full service”
to the list of permitted uses. |
4. 1002 Karen Way Ward 13 |
This property was subject to a Zoning By-law Amendment which
was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in January 2008. The Board order was correctly implemented
in the former Ottawa Zoning By-law, however it was not correctly carried over
to Exception [1473] of By-law 2008-250, which erroneously omitted the
prohibited uses – “all other uses except for an 8-unit planned townhouse
development and a 10-storey apartment building.” It is recommended that this wording be re-inserted into
Exception [1473]. |
Amend
Section 239 of By-law 2008-250, Exception [1473]. Under
Column IV – Land Uses Prohibited, add the following: -all other uses except for an 8-unit planned townhouse
development and a 10-storey apartment building. |
5. 1442 Baseline Avenue Ward 8 |
This property is zoned Residential First Density –
R1FF[632]. The property was zoned Commercial Automotive – CA3(CN) in
the former Nepean Zoning By-law, and there is currently an automobile service
station on site. Furthermore, the
property is designated as Arterial Mainstreet in the Official Plan. It is therefore recommended that the
property be rezoned Arterial Mainstreet – AM in order reflect the commercial
use of the property and to bring the zoning into conformity with the Official
Plan. |
Amend the Zoning Map for By-law 2008-250 for
the property shown in Document 4. Delete
the zone code R1FF[632] and replace with AM[632]. |
6. 450, 500 and 550 Terminal Avenue 55, 100, 150 and 165 Trainyards Drive 515, 641, 651 and 663 Industrial Avenue 820 and 848 Belfast Road Ward 18 |
By-law 2011-433, passed in December 2011, was intended to
remove the limit on Gross Floor Area and reduce the required parking rate on
the subject lands. However, the By-law
did not completely implement the intended zoning in Exception [1387]; it is
therefore recommended that the exception be amended to implement the zoning
as intended in the Council-approved report. |
Amend
Section 239 of By-law 2008-250, Exception [1387]. Under
Column V – Provisions, delete the following: -the maximum gross leasable area is 40,000 m2 -for a retail commercial use having a gross leasable area
of more than 16,000 m2, parking must be provided at a rate of at
least 4.61 parking spaces for every 100 m2 of gross leasable area |

1. 8930 and 8944 Flewellyn Road Ward 21 |
An error occurred in the Heritage Overlay mapping for 8930
and 8944 Flewellyn Road, as the overlay was applied in error to 8930
Flewellyn, which is a park, when it should have been applied to 8944
Flewellyn, a church designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Therefore it is recommended that the properties be rezoned so
that the Heritage Overlay is applied to the correct property. |
Amend
the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250. Rezone
the properties as shown in Document 4 by deleting the Heritage Overlay from 8930
Flewellyn Road and adding the Heritage Overlay to 8944 Flewellyn Road. |
2. Parts of 2013 Old Carp Road Ward 5 |
This
property is zoned both Rural Institutional - RI5[18r] and Rural Countryside –
RU. The
site is currently a school. The
previous I-2 – Institutional zoning in the former West Carleton Zoning By-law
permitted the school and additional uses, one of which was an auditorium. The
auditorium land use was not carried over to By-law 2008-250; therefore it is
recommended that By-law 2008-250 be amended to permit an auditorium,
accessory to the school, by amending the appropriate development standards
with a new Exception [xxxr]. |
Amend
the Zoning Map for By-law 2008-250 for parts of 2013 Old Carp Road. Rezone
the portion of the property zoned RI5[18r] from R15[18r] to RI5[xxxr], as
shown in Document 4. Amend
Section 240 of By-law 2008-250. Add
Exception [xxxr] to apply to that portion of 2013 Old Carp Road zoned
RI5[xxxr]. Add
under Column II – Applicable Zone: -RI5[xxxr] Under
Column V – Provisions add: -minimum
lot width of 30 m -the
lots zoned RI5[xxxr] are considered one lot for zoning purposes. -Section
59(1)(b) shall not apply to the lots zoned RI5[xxxr]. |
3. Riverwood Village Subdivision Ward 21 |
The
current Flood Plain Hazard Overlay zoning on these lands is based on the
flood plain mapping of the Rideau River prepared for the Rideau Valley
Conservation Authority (RVCA) in 2001.
Two permits (RV6-43/06 and RV6-18/08) were issued by the RVCA in 2006
and 2008 for approval to undertake a balanced cut and fill to revise the
floodplain boundary on the subject lands. The grading works were completed in
2008 and the combined ‘as-built’ elevation surveys for the subject lands
comply with the approved RVCA permits and with the grading plans as approved
in the registered plan of subdivision. On
April 2, 2012 the RVCA revised its floodplain boundary mapping to reflect the
completed grading on the subject lands.
It is recommended that the City’s Zoning Map be amended accordingly. |
Amend
the Zoning Map of By-law 2008-250 to show the new boundaries of the Flood
Plain Hazard Overlay for the map shown in Document 4. |

Objective of Amendment |
Proposed Amendment |
Zoning Map and Text Corrections |
||
1. Section 127 – Home-Based Business Provisions City-wide |
Hair salons are listed in Subsection 127(14)(d), however a
hair salon no longer requires a business licence; hence, permission under
Subsection 127(14) is no longer required in order to establish a hair salon
as a home-based business. It is recommended that Subsection 127(14)(d) be deleted in
order to eliminate this out-dated reference. |
Amend
Subsection 127(14) of By-law 2008-250 by deleting Subsection 127(14)(d) which
reads: (d)
hair salons, limited to a maximum of two coiffeur chairs. |
2. Section 11 City-wide |
Subsection 11(3) and Section 23 of the General Rules of
Interpretation of By-law 2008-250, contain essentially the same statement –
that words used in the By-law have their ordinary meaning, unless otherwise
defined. There is no need to state
this information more than once. It is recommended that the redundancy be eliminated by
deleting Subsection 11(3). |
Amend
Section 11 of By-law 2008-250 by deleting Subsection11(3) which reads: “(3)
the words used in the by-law have their ordinary meaning, unless otherwise
defined.” |
3. Section 9 City-Wide |
Section 9, Transition, is no longer required as the
transition period for recognizing approvals under the former municipalities’
by-laws has passed. It is recommended
that Section 9 be deleted. |
Amend
Section 9 of By-law 2008-250 by deleting the text in its entirety and
replacing it with the following: -Reserved
for Future Use |
4. Section 101 – Minimum Parking Space Rates Table 101 City-Wide |
Former
Ottawa By-law 93-98 did not require parking for dwelling units on lots
abutting Bank Street, Bronson Avenue, Elgin Street and Somerset Street in the
downtown area. This was intended to be carried forward to
By-law 2008-250, however an error in the formatting of Table 101, row (d) has
resulted in the incorrect implementation of this provision. It is recommended that the table be re-formatted
to accurately carry forward the former Ottawa parking provision for lots
abutting Bank Street, Bronson Avenue, Elgin Street and Somerset Street West,
north of the Queensway. |
Amend
Section 101 of By-law 2008-250, Table 101, row (d). Delete
from row (d)(i) the words “on lots abutting Bank Street, Bronson Avenue,
Elgin Street and Somerset Street north of the Queensway - none” and replace
them in an appropriate location with the words “despite (i), on lots abutting
Bank Street, Bronson Avenue, Elgin Street and Somerset Street West, north of
the Queensway”, such that the minimum required parking rate in these situations
is “none”. |
