DISCUSSION

City Council, on 8 January 2003, approved the Innes Road Reconstruction Project between Orleans Boulevard and Frank Kenny Road. The Project was partially funded by the Federal and Provincial Governments. It was necessary to purchase several properties where the buildings were within the alignment for the new road. A decision was also made to purchase entire properties where the building was in close proximity to the new alignment, in order to alleviate any hardship the City’s Project would have on property owners and also to expedite the Project. This decision was deemed to be in the best interest of the City, as owners were more open to outright purchase, rather than have their homes fronting on or close to a busy highway and the cost could be offset by the sale of the residual lands.

One property has been identified as a possible site for a group home required by the Province, to facilitate the closing of the Rideau Regional Institute. Over the next few months, the properties will be offered for sale to the general public, through advertisement and the City’s Web Site, in accordance with the City’s Disposal Policy.

In order to alleviate the necessity to forward a report to Council with each individual sale, which could cause a purchaser unnecessary delay in obtaining a building permit, declaring the properties surplus will allow for the closing of transactions sooner.

Acceptable offers will be submitted to the appropriate Delegated signing authority for approval.

CONSULTATION

In accordance with policies approved by City Council on 14 November 2001, the availability of the property is being circulated to all City Departments, including the Housing Branch, Public Works and Services and Planning and Growth Management, to determine if the parcel should be retained for a City mandated program. The Environmental Management Group of the Planning and Growth Management Department was consulted with respect to the Greenspace Master Plan and their comments are indicated under the Environmental Implications section of this report.

The following Advisory Committees have also been circulated:

Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC)

Ottawa Forests and Greenspace Advisory Committee (OFGAC)

Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC)

Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PRAC)

Roads and Cycling Advisory Committee (RCAC)

Rural Issues Advisory Committee (RIAC)

Arts, Heritage and Culture Advisory Committee (AHCAC)

Pedestrian and Transit Advisory Committee (P & TAC)

The Ward Councillors have been made aware of the intent to dispose of the subject property through circulation.

With respect to the closed road allowance shown on the attached sketch indicated as Annex “A-17”, circulation comments have not been received at the time of writing this report, however any objections to the disposal of this property received through the circulation process, will be reported to Corporate Services and Economic Development Committee when this report is considered.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

The subject properties consist of residential properties that were acquired for the Innes Road widening. There are no natural features associated with the properties and no environmental implications associated with the disposals.

HOUSING FIRST POLICY

The Official Plan policy directs that the City make land available for affordable housing and give priority for the sale or lease of surplus City-owned property for this purpose.

The Housing First Policy approved by Council on 13 July 2005, establishes priority consideration to the Housing Branch, in the identification of potentially surplus City-owned property, to be used in achieving the City’s affordable housing program targets. The policy also requires that the Official Plan target of 25% affordable housing, be met on any City-owned property sold for residential development. Where viable, residential properties are disposed of without a condition requiring an affordable housing component, 25% of the proceeds from the sale are to be credited to a housing fund, to be used for the development of affordable housing elsewhere in the City.

The majority of the properties are zoned residential. As the Project was funded by the three levels of government, with the understanding that the Project account would be credited with any revenue generated by the sale of any residual lands, Housing has advised that they will not request that any of the properties be held for their purpose in achieving the City’s affordable housing program targets.

One of the properties is however being held for a possible group home, required as part of the Provincial relocation of residents in the Rideau Regional Institute and will be conveyed to the Province at market value.
