SUBJECT: ZONING- PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING BY‑LAW, 1998

OBJET: ZONAGE- MODIFICATIONS PROPOSÉES AU RÈGLEMENT MUNICIPAL SUR LE ZONAGE DE 1998

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

That the Planning and Development Committee recommend that Council approve the amendments to the former City of Ottawa Zoning By-law, 1998, as detailed in Document 1.

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

Que le Comité de l'urbanisme et de l'aménagement recommande au Conseil d’approuver les modifications au Règlement municipal sur le zonage de 1998 de l’ancienne Ville d’Ottawa, comme détaillé dans le document 1.

BACKGROUND

The former City of Ottawa Planning and Economic Development Committee, during the deliberation process for the Zoning By-law, 1998, recommended that upon the new zoning by-law coming into force, a monitoring process must be established to ensure that the by-law is properly maintained and updated, so that emerging issues and areas of concern can be dealt with expeditiously. This is particularly important following the adoption of a new comprehensive zoning by-law, since a number of new approaches and techniques have been introduced which must be carefully evaluated and refined to ensure that they effectively implement Council's intent and applicable City policy. This type of monitoring process was not officially or consistently put in place under the previous Zoning By-law Number Z-2K, and at the time of its replacement by the new by-law, the previous zoning by-law contained hundreds of unresolved mapping and text anomalies.

DISCUSSION

As the Zoning By-law, 1998 was passed by City Council on May 20, 1998, and is now in effect, staff is continuing this process to implement the monitoring program. This submission format was developed to serve as the vehicle for this monitoring process, and is the seventh of regularly scheduled reports that have been prepared to address identified zoning anomalies. These reports will bring forward such matters as they are raised during the day-to-day functions of responding to inquiries and processing of permits and applications, and will propose amendments to the by-law to address the areas of concern. This process will assist in responding to problem areas and anomalies in an expedient manner, helping to minimize costly and unnecessary delays to the development approval process.

CONSULTATION

As the amendments in this submission are either technical or remedial and are not policy-driven in nature, no additional public participation process was undertaken. Public notice of today’s Planning and Development Committee meeting was given in both the Ottawa Citizen and Le Droit.
