That Planning and Environment
Committee recommend that Council approve an amendment to the former City of
Ottawa Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 2345 Alta Vista Drive – St. Thomas
the Apostle Church, as shown on Document 1, to add a special needs housing as a
permitted use, as detailed in Document 2.
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de
l’environnement recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification à l'ancien
Règlement de zonage de la Ville d'Ottawa pour changer le zonage du 2345,
promenade Alta Vista – église St. Thomas the Apostle, illustrée dans le
Document 1, de manière à ajouter l'utilisation de logement adapté aux
utilisations autorisées, tel qu'exposé en détail dans le Document 2.
The
Church is proposing to construct an eight-bedroom special needs bungalow to
accommodate residents from the Rideau Regional Centre. A concept plan for the
bungalow is attached to the report as Document 3.
The
subject lands are currently zoned I1 – Minor Institutional and special needs
housing is not a permitted use under the current Zoning By-law 93-98. In the
context of the Zoning By-law, a special need house means a supervised
group-residence used for residential purposes by three or more persons,
exclusive of staff, where the residents live as a group in a single household
living arrangement and where the residents, as a condition of their residency,
require and accept support or supervision on a daily basis such that, at a
minimum, staff is responsible for providing or arranging meals, or supervising
the preparation of meals.
The surrounding lands which are zoned R1A and R1D permit the establishment of special needs housing accommodating a maximum of eight residents – section 196 sub g.
The zoning for the subject lands – 2345 Alta Vista Drive - in the Council-approved Comprehensive Zoning By-law is I1A [1485] which permits the establishment of a group home, of up to the new City-wide standard of ten residents, subject to the following site-specific provision - in the case of a group home, no separation distance is required from any other group home.
Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the current Zoning By-law to permit the establishment of special needs housing as a permitted use. The zoning exemption recommended will be exactly the same as the use approved in the Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
A
public meeting was held on April 27 at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. Residents
of Braeside, Randall, Alta Vista Drive, Clontarf and McRobie were invited by
flyer to attend the meeting. Eleven residents attended and five comment sheets
were completed. The Ward Councillor was
in attendance and those attending were invited to fill comment sheets. An on-site sign was not posted.
The
main issues centered around the point of access from Braeside Avenue, the
existing vegetation, impact on the few houses along the north edge of the
subject land (rear yard of certain residences along Clontarf Avenue), and
potential loss of privacy and reduction in property values.
In addition to discussion on the zoning, residents were advised that the proposed development will require minor variances from the Committee of Adjustment and as a result a further opportunity would be available to address site-specific concerns.
Planning, Transit and the Environment
The Department has reviewed this
proposed Zoning By-law amendment in the context of Sections 2.5.2 and 3.1 of
the City's Official Plan.
The need to accommodate social
diversity is a cornerstone of a livable community. Diversity in housing supply is essential and appropriate housing
opportunity must be provided to households with special needs. The policy direction in the Official Plan is
to ensure that all forms of housing are permitted in a residential
community. Section 3.1 of the Official
Plan articulates policies that do accommodate special needs housing as
contemplated by the proposed Zoning By-law amendment. The Department supports this initiative.
