RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l'urbanisme et de
l'environnement recommande au Conseil d'approuver une modification au règlement
de zonage urbain de l'ancienne Ville de Nepean visant à faire passer la
désignation de zonage du 3505, promenade Strandherd, du 3211, chemin Greenbank,
du 400, promenade Paul-Métivier et des 80 et 261, chemin Bren-Maur, de zones de
croissance future (FG) et de conservation (CON), à zone à utilisation
résidentielle mixte (RMU), zone institutionnelle scolaire (IS), zone de parcs
et de loisirs (publics) (PRP), zone de conservation (CON) et zone institutionnelle
(I), comme l'illustre le document 1 et le précise le document 2.
BACKGROUND
The subject site is located in the South Nepean Urban Community. The property is located on the west side of Woodroffe Avenue, south of Strandherd Drive, north of the Hearts Desire Community and the Jock River. Further west is the Trinity Shopping Centre and the First Capital Shopping Plaza is to the northeast. The site area is 91.25 hectares in size and will accommodate approximately 800 residential units at full build out, including two school sites and neighbourhood parks. This development will represent an expansion of the Chapman Mills subdivision, which consists of a number of phases to date.
Purpose of Zoning Amendment
This amendment proposes to change the zoning of these lands to allow for the continued development of residential, institutional and park uses in the South Urban Community in conformity with the Official Plan and Secondary Plan for Areas 4, 5, and 6. The Zoning By-law amendment is necessary to remove the Future Growth zoning to allow for the continued expansion of the Chapman Mills subdivision.
Existing Zoning
The site is primarily zoned as Future Growth - FG in the Zoning By-law of the former City of Nepean. This zone applies to all lands that are within the future South Urban Community and require plans of subdivision to ensure the development occurs in compliance with existing Official Plan policy.
Proposed Zoning
The Zoning By-law amendment application would rezone the property to the following zone categories as shown on the attached zoning key plan (Document 2):
- Area A: From Future Growth to Residential Mixed Unit (RMU) Zone – to permit a combination of single, semi-detached and multiple-attached dwelling units
- Area B: From Future Growth to Institutional School (IS) Zone - to permit the two proposed school sites
- Area C: From Future Growth to Park and Recreation (PRP) Zone – to enable the development of neighbourhood parks
- Area D: From Future Growth to Conservation (CON) Zone – for an area that will be developed as a stormwater management pond, adjacent to the Jock River,
- Area E: From Conservation (CON) to Residential Mixed Unit Zone (RMU) – to enable the development of eight residential lots backing onto a woodlot, and
- Area F: From Future Growth to Institutional (I) Zone - to enable the future development of lands for a church use on an adjacent property.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan
The Official Plan designates this area as 'General Urban Area'. The Secondary Plan policies for Area 4, 5 and 6 designates most of the subject lands for 'Mixed Density Residential', 'Mixed Use', 'Schools' and 'Greenway'. The “Mixed Density Residential” designation is intended to permit low, medium and high-density residential development, in combination with neighbourhood serving facilities.
Details of Proposed Zoning
The Zoning By-law amendment proposal conforms to the policies in the Official Plan and especially the Secondary Plan, which contains guidelines for land-use mix, unit targets, and design guidelines. The subdivision will consist of approximately 800 dwelling units made up of single detached and townhouse units, four neighbourhood parks, and two school sites. A stormwater management facility is proposed on lands adjacent to the Greenway System that makes up a continuous open space linkage network alongside the Jock River.
The development of multi-storey buildings up to four storeys along Chapman Mills Drive is being examined by staff and the applicant, with a view to establishing uses that front directly onto streets with laneways at the rear to service the units. It is anticipated that these units will incorporate residential and commercial/office functions on the ground and/or second level. The zoning for these uses will be brought to Committee at a later date when site plans are more fully developed.
Two elementary school sites form part of this plan, an elementary school operated by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and a second by the Conseil des Écoles Catholiques de Langue Française du Center-Est (CECLFCE), both adjacent to community parks. The planning for the park site has not occurred yet, but will be subject to review by staff to determine the programming needs of the area and appropriate designs.
The Zoning By-law amendment from Conservation to Residential Mixed Unit (RMU) Zone applies to a small portion of land abutting a woodlot recently acquired by the City. After rationalization of the woodlot boundary, this area identified as Area ‘E’ in Document 1, was declared as falling outside of the core woodlot. The zoning for the woodlot was completed under a previous plan of subdivision, prior to the exact limits of the woodlot being formally established. As a result, Area ‘E’ now needs to be rezoned to RMU to enable the development of residential units.
Staff supports the rezoning proposal based on the above-noted considerations. This development represents a logical extension of the South Nepean Community and will establish some of the Secondary Plan design principles, which can then be reinforced as development proceeds westerly along Chapman Mills Drive.
CONSULTATION
Notice of
this application was carried out in accordance with the City’s Public
Notification and Consultation Policy. The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff
recommendation. The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to
the Zoning By-law amendment application.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
APPLICATION PROCESS
TIMELINE STATUS
The application was not processed within the
timeframe established for the processing of Zoning By-law amendments due to the
resolution of subdivision issues on a pathway connection between this
development and the Hearts Desire Community, which are dealt with in a separate
report to Planning and Environment Committee.
