REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning and Environment Committee recommend Council enact a by-law to change a portion of the street named Plainhill Drive to Comfrey Crescent.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement recommande au Conseil d’adopter un règlement en vue de changer le nom d’une partie de la rue nommée promenade Plainhill à croissant Comfrey.
BACKGROUND
Cardel Homes has submitted an application to change a portion of the street named "Plainhill Drive" to "Comfrey Crescent" in a residential area off Portobello Boulevard in Orleans. A portion of Plainhill was registered as a cul de sac in the first phase of an approved subdivision plan just south of Ivany Way (see Document 1). The intent is to have the phase 2 public street from the pending subdivision approval join up as a crescent all the way to Ivany Way. The applicant requests to use the name Comfrey Crescent in the phase 2 development and requires the street name change approval for the portion of Plainhill Drive earlier registered.
DISCUSSION
This technical change is necessary in order to blend together the two phases of the development. Since the original registration, the direction and length of the roadway "Plainhill" was altered and the intention in the phase 2 development is to link Comfrey Crescent to Ivany Way, and have the approved section of Plainhill Drive end at Ivany Way.
Based on the above, the Department is satisfied the proposed name change for the small portion of Plainhill Drive is in keeping with the intent of the By-law. The continuation of Comfrey Crescent is acceptable as the name was reserved by City staff for use and the name change will not cause any potential safety concerns. In addition, the change will not disrupt or affect directly any residents or businesses as the development lands are vacant at this time. As a result, the Department supports this request for a street name change.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
CONSULTATION
The proposal was circulated to the Ward Councillor and early notice was placed in two newspapers (Le Droit and The Citizen). In addition, in keeping with the legislative notification requirements, a notice was placed in Le Droit and The Citizen as part of the Planning and Environment Committee agenda notice.
COMMENTS BY THE WARD COUNCILLOR(S)
The Councillor is aware of the application.
LEGAL/RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS
There are no legal/risk management implications association with the recommendation in this report.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN
The report is consistent with Objective 1 of the City Strategic Plan as the street name change will assist to manage growth and create sustainable communities by ensuring that new growth is integrated seamlessly with established communities.
