RECOMMANDATIONS DU
RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement
recommande ce qui suit au Conseil :
1. Supprimer du plan 17A du Règlement municipal no 333 de 1999 de l'ancienne Ville de Gloucester le terrain dont l'adresse est le 3105, chemin Hawthorne, tel qu'illustré dans le Document 1, et faire en sorte que ce terrain ne relève plus des dispositions du Règlement no 333 de 1999.
2. Intégrer dans le plan de zonage 43, sous-secteur 1 du Règlement de
zonage no 93-98 de l'ancienne Ville d'Ottawa le terrain dont l'adresse est le
3105, chemin Hawthorne, et dont le zonage est IL F(1.0), industrie légère, et
faire relever ce terrain des dispositions du Règlement 93-98, tel qu'illustré

BACKGROUND
This property is an interior lot located on the east side of Hawthorne Road, approximately opposite to where Ages Drive intersects Hawthorne Road. The property is currently vacant land that straddles the former municipal boundaries of the Cities of Gloucester and Ottawa, and has a lot area of approximately 20295 m². The surrounding area uses consist of industrial storage facilities and general industrial uses typically found in an industrially-zoned area.
Purpose
of Zoning By-law Amendment
Currently the property has multiple zone designations from the former municipal comprehensive Zoning By-laws of Ottawa and Gloucester. The purpose of the Zoning By-law amendments are to apply a single zone designation over the entire property to enable orderly development to occur under one set of zoning performance standards.
That portion of the site lying within the former
City of Gloucester is zoned Mx, Heavy Industrial. The purpose of this zone is to permit a full range of industrial
uses that will include warehousing, manufacturing, storage and handling of
hydrocarbons and hazardous material, a waste transfer facility and other
traditional industrial uses.
That portion of the site lying within the former City of Ottawa is zoned IL F(1.0), Light Industrial. This zone permits industrial uses related to repair, manufacturing, warehousing, maintenance of commercial or industrial vehicles, and transportation uses related to shipping and receiving.
The proposed zoning is IL F(1.0), Light Industrial of the former City of Ottawa. It is proposed that this zone be applied for both the portions of the property occurring within the former Cities of Gloucester and Ottawa.
DISCUSSION
The Official Plan designates this site as
Employment Area. Within Employment
Areas the primary land uses are to include warehousing and distribution,
manufacturing, storage, office and institutional research uses.
The proposed development has been reviewed for
compliance with the general intent of the Official Plan and its policies. The Zoning By-law amendment is considered to
be appropriate in that it will impose one standard set of performance standards
enabling a more orderly development of the site. The recommendation for the former City of Ottawa “IL F(1.0)” zone
designation is the preferred zoning which allows lesser intensive industrial
uses and will permit the applicant's proposal for a self-storage facility
use. In summary, the proposal to change
the industrial zone designation at 3105 Hawthorne Road is considered to be
consistent with the policies of the Official Plan. Therefore, the requested Zoning By-law amendment is recommended
for approval.
