RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité des services organisationnels et du développement
économique recommande au Conseil :
1. de déclarer la propriété décrite
légalement comme partie du lot 30, concession A, façade rivière, canton
géographique de Nepean, constituant les partie 1 d’un projet de plan
d’arpentage préparé par Paul A. Riddell
(no de référence 05-1004-13), d’une surface d’environ
3 118,9 m2 (33 573 pieds carrés) dans la ville d’Ottawa et
indiquée par des hachures dans l’Annexe A ci-jointe, excédentaire aux besoins
de la Ville;
2. d’approuver la vente de la propriété détaillée dans la recommandation 1, sous réserve d’une servitude de réseau séparatif au profit de la Ville sur une partie des terrains à vendre, à Ashcroft Homes - Citi Place Inc., pour la somme de 154 000 $, TPS en sus, conformément à la convention d’achat-vente reçue.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is part of a larger parcel municipally known as 15 Colonnade Road and legally described as Part of Lot 30, Concession 5, Rideau Front, geographic Township of Nepean acquired from the National Capital Commission. The property being conveyed contains an area of 3,118.9 m2 (33,573 square feet) and is shown hatched on the attached sketch marked Annex “A”.
The subject property abuts a larger parcel owned by the purchaser and is to be incorporated into the larger parcel as part of the overall development of this site. The property was circulated to all City Departments and there was no requirement indicated to retain the property in City ownership. A utility circulation determined that there was no other interest in the property.
DISCUSSION
An agreement has been reached with Ashcroft Homes – Citi Place to purchase the subject property for $154,000. The sale price is in keeping with the market value estimated by an independent appraisal. The current zoning is MBC(H) Block 6 – Industrial Business Campus Zone, however, City Council, at its meeting of 30 November 2005, approved the purchaser’s request to rezone the subject property to CMU(H) Block Y. The intended use of the property by the Purchaser is to incorporate the subject lands into its overall development, which is in compliance with the current zoning.
The recommended sale of the subject property is within the market value range, established by an independent appraisal report.
The offer is considered fair and
reasonable and is recommended for acceptance.
CONSULTATION
In accordance with policies approved by City Council on 14 November 2001, the availability of the property was circulated to all client City Departments, including the Housing Branch, Public Works and Services and Planning and Growth Management Services, to determine if the parcel should be retained for a City mandated program. The Environmental Management Group of the Planning and Growth Management Services Department was consulted with respect to the Greenspace Master Plan and their comments are indicated under the Environmental Implications section of this report. Neither the Housing Branch nor any other City Department expressed interest in retaining the property.
The utility companies were also circulated and no requirements were indicated.
The circulation of this property predated the implementation of the new circulation practices and only the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee Co-ordinator was circulated.
The ward Councillor has been made aware of the intent to dispose of the subject property and supports staff’s recommendation.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no environmental impacts associated with this proposed sale of property adjacent to Colonnade Road North. Although the subject property is in close proximity to the Nepean Creek Corridor, designated as an Urban Natural Feature in the City's Official Plan, the proposed parcel for sale is further than 30 metres away from this feature. Should the subject property have been within 30 metres of the Urban Natural Feature, any future proposed development for this site would require an Environmental Impact Statement as part of the development application process (section 3.2.3.5 of the Official Plan) to demonstrate that the proposed development would not impact upon the existing natural features and functions of this feature to the north of the subject property.
HOUSING FIRST POLICY
The Official Plan policy directs that the City make land available for affordable housing and give priority for the sale or lease of surplus City-owned property for this purpose.
The Housing First Policy, approved by Council on 13 July 2005, establishes priority consideration to the Housing Branch in the identification of potentially surplus City-owned property to be used in achieving the City’s affordable housing program targets. The policy also requires that the Official Plan target of 25% affordable housing be met on any City-owned property sold for residential development. Where viable residential properties are disposed of without a condition requiring an affordable housing component, 25% of the proceeds from the sale are to be credited to a housing fund to be used for the development of affordable housing elsewhere in the City.
The subject is a non-viable property and the new approved zoning is Commercial Mixed Use. Therefore does not meet the affordable housing criteria outlined in the Housing First Policy.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
This transaction represents revenue of $154,000 to the Corporation and will be credited to the City’s Sale of Surplus Land Account.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Attached, as Annex "A" is a sketch showing the surplus property.
DISPOSITION
Following Council’s approval, Real Property Asset Management and Legal Services Branches will finalize the transaction

Councillor J. Harder advised
Councillor Hume would be putting forward a motion on her behalf. She explained the subject land was being
sold to Ashcroft Development. As well,
another development application at the other end of Colonnade Road which would
be coming forward very shortly from Colonnade Developments (for which she would
be bringing forward with the same motion).
She spoke of the sports area in between these two developments and the
fact the community has long been seeking a washroom facility for this
area. The Councillor explained her
intent was to take part of the money accrued from this sale and part of money
from the other development (i.e. by Colonnade Development) and put this money
towards construction of a building to house a washroom and possibly a storage
facility.
At Mayor Chiarelli’s request Marian
Simulik, Acting City Treasurer, advised that a separate reserve fund could not
be established specifically for this project.
However, funds could be segregated within the City-wide reserve for this
project. Councillor Harder amended the
wording of her motion to reflect this and Councillor Hume put it forward for
the Committee’s consideration.
