The Committee received a brief PowerPoint slide presentation overview (held on file with the City Clerk) from Messrs. Alain Miguelez, Program Manager, Development Review, and Douglas Bridgewater, Planner, Inner Core Unit, Development Review, both with the Urban Services Branch, PGM.
	
The following delegations spoke in opposition to the report recommendation, to the issues of excessive height and density, lack of open space, incompatibility of the planned unit development zoning with that of the the existing neighbourhood, and ‘spot-rezoning’ that was considered offensive to community values:

Committee discussions centred upon the appropriateness of the development, and Chair Hume explained that despite residents’ views on ‘spot-rezoning’, the City had an obligation, under the Planning Act, to consider all applications.  He further noted that the next Official Plan (OP) review would seek to ensure that the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-Law would be in conformity with its OP.

Ward Councillor Taylor explained that while he normally supported intensification (with the community’s backing), he could not do so in this case, as the proposed development was unacceptably incompatible with the existing neighbourhood.  He then called for yeas and nays on the report recommendation.

That the Planning Committee recommend Council approve an amendment to the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 936 Woodroffe Avenue from, R2G, Residential Second Density Zone to a new R3A(xxx), Residential Third Density Zone as detailed in Document 2 and as shown in Document 1.

* Mr. Rod Lahey (R. Lahey Architects);

8.	ZONING - 174 GLEBE AVENUE
ACS2012-PAI-PGM-0199	CAPITAL (17)

REPORT RECOMMENDATION:

That the Planning Committee recommend Council refuse an amendment to the Zoning By-law 2008-250 to change the zoning of 174 Glebe Avenue from Residential Type 3 Zone, Exception 1268 R3B[1268] to permit a four-storey lowrise apartment building.

At the outset, Committee heard from Mr. Michael Polowin, Gowlings, on behalf of Moda Development Corporation (the applicant), to request a deferral of Committee’s consideration of this item to allow for further discussions.  In the temporary absence of Mr. Tim Marc, Senior Legal Counsel, Corporate Development and Environmental Law Branch, the Committee received a PowerPoint slide presentation overview from Ms. Melanie Knight, Planner, Inner Core Unit, Development Review, Urban Services Branch, PGM (held on file with the City Clerk).  

Committee discussed the merits of deferral, development timelines and the possibility of appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Following the receipt of legal counsel, and after hearing from Ward Councillor Chernushenko, who felt there was no reason to defer, as the project had been ongoing for a considerable length of time, and that the applicant was seeking a rezoning for a building that was out of character with the surrounding neighbourhood, Committee considered the following Motion:

MOTION NO PLC 39/2

Moved by Councillor R. Bloess:

That the Planning Committee approve that consideration of this item be deferred to the Planning Committee meeting of 23 October 2012.

NAYS (6):	S. Blais, K. Hobbs, S. Qadri, M. Taylor, J. Harder, P. Hume 

YEAS (2):	R. Bloess, B. Monette

	LOST

Committee then heard from the following delegation in support of the report recommendation:

* Ms. Valerie Lasher*.

In the interest of expediency, Councillor Chernushenko conferred with the following parties, who all expressed concurrence with the recommendation, without needing to further speak to the matter:

* Mr. Jamie Worling;
* Mr. Bobby Galbreath, Glebe Community Association*; and,
* M. Guy Giguère.

Written correspondence was also received from the following, expressing concurrence with the report recommendation:

* Ms. Linda Fournier*;
* Mr. August Heidemann*;
* Mr. John & Ms. Jill Hill*; and,
* Mr. Brian Roberts (as a signatory to correspondence submitted by Ms. Valerie Lasher*.

The Committee then heard from the following delegations in opposition to the report recommendation:

* Mr. Brian Casagrande, FoTenn Consultants Inc.;
* Mr. Michael Polowin, Gowlings; and,
* Mr. Vincent Colizza, Architect.

[ *	All individuals marked with an asterisk either provided their comments in writing or by email; all such comments are held on file with the City Clerk. ]

Messrs. Casagrande and Colizza suggested that the design, as presented, was a better use of built form, and superior to that which was currently allowed under the existing zoning for the area.  They cautioned that a need to recoup losses from a protracted engagement at the OMB could result in a design that would maximize the use of the available space and offer less, aesthetically, than that which was currently being proposed.

Committee discussions having been concluded, the recommendation was then put before Committee and was CARRIED as presented.

INQUIRY

Councillor Hobbs submitted the following Inquiry (PLC 05-12): 

 	Demolition Permits and the Occupational Health and Safety Act

* Why does the City of Ottawa not overtly require the identification of designated substances under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as the City of Windsor, for example, does on an application for demolition?
* Does any legislation prevent the City from collecting this information? Is any legislation not being adhered to in the lack of collection of this information?
* Is a designated substance audit and follow-up required as part of the demolition permit process in the City of Ottawa?
* What consideration is given to accumulated exposure to areas where multiple demolitions in quick succession are taking place of building that may contain these designated substances?
