Moved by Councillor M. Taylor

 

WHEREAS the Demolition Control By-law was introduced by the former City of Ottawa to control or reduce the depletion of residential rental units, either being demolished outright or converted into condominium units;

AND WHEREAS the owner of 807 Maplewood has met with Planning and Growth Management staff and has indicated that he will be filing applications related to the development of the site shortly and expects to be in a position to begin development of the site in the Fall of 2012;

 

AND WHEREAS the Ward Councillor has indicated his support for exempting this property from the requirements of the Demolition Control By-law;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT that 807 Maplewood be exempted from the requirements set out in the Demolition Control By-law in order to enable the demolition of the building immediately subject to the following conditions which shall be incorporated into a registered agreement prior to the exemption taking effect:

DISCUSSION

 

The Demolition Control By-law was introduced by the former City of Ottawa to control or reduce the depletion of residential rental units, either being demolished outright or converted into condominium units. The By-law provides the property owner the choice to apply to Council for an exemption to the by-law, which if approved requires the applicant to enter into an agreement with the City to demolish and build within a fixed period of time, failing which a penalty applies.

 

The owner of 807 Maplewood has met with Planning and Growth Management staff and has indicated that he will be filing applications related to the development of the site shortly and expects to be in a position to begin development of the site in the Fall of 2012.  The Ward Councillor has indicated his support for exempting this property from the requirements of the Demolition Control By-law, and the property owner has agreed to enter into a demolition agreement subject to the above-noted conditions.

No rural implications, as the property is in the urban area.
