BACKGROUND
The lands that are the subject of this Zoning By-law amendment application are located within the Leitrim Community Design Plan. The property, 4637 Bank Street, is located on the east side of Bank Street, south of Leitrim Road and north of Analdea Drive.
The property that is the subject of this application is approximately 50 metres east of Bank Street and will have frontage on a proposed collector road that will run east from Bank Street along the north side of the property.
Purpose of
Zoning Amendment
The applicant wishes to zone the site for use by the Ottawa Rotary Club to operate a respite care facility. There is to be a one-storey respite care building situated on the site. The building is proposed to have a central entrance and administration area with a 12-bed wing for children and a separate eight-bed wing for adults ages 21 to 55 years. The Ottawa Rotary Respite Home is proposed to be built in advance of the abutting subdivision that will provide the public road to the site. The short term road access together with servicing requirements and the ultimate permanent service connections will be addressed as part of the site plan process.
The land that is the subject of this Zoning By-law amendment is zoned Future Growth, Fg.
The applicant is requesting that the zoning be changed from Fg to Institutional Community (Exception 15), Ic (E 15) to permit an institutional accommodation use on a lot that will not have frontage on a public open road.
DISCUSSION
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) focuses on growth within settlement areas (which includes the urban area of the City of Ottawa) and promotes their vitality. The Ottawa Rotary Home is receiving Provincial funding to assist in the establishment of this facility and can be considered a ‘public service facility’ as defined in the PPS. Through site plan approval, this public service facility will be developed in a coordinated, efficient and cost-effective manner for use by those in need within the community.
The Official Plan places the site in the General Urban Area with a Developing Community Overlay. The overlay designation requires that a Community Design Plan be completed prior to any development being approved. The Leitrim Community Design Plan was approved by City Council on July 13, 2005. There is an institutional land use designation on the subject lands. The intent of the designation is to identify specific locations for government, service and community facilities in the community. A care facility is a permitted use.
The intent of the “General Urban” designation is to provide a full range of housing types in combination with conveniently located employment, services, cultural, leisure, entertainment and institutional uses. This designation permits all types of densities of housing as well as park and institutional uses.
The zoning of the subject lands will be changed
to permit the Ottawa Rotary Home Respite Care Facility to locate on lands that
do not have frontage on a public open road at this time. The change in the zoning for 4637 Bank
Street will implement the Leitrim Community Design Plan and permit the Ottawa
Rotary to proceed with development of the site in advance of the subdivision
approval that is to provide the public road in front on this facility.
The applicant has submitted a site plan
application and specific development issues such as access, full municipal
services (water and sanitary sewers) and stormwater interim facility will
addressed as part of the site plan approval process and registered agreement.
Staff supports this application as it is
consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, meets the intent of the City
Official Plan and in conformity with the Leitrim Community Design Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The environmental issues related to the development of 4637 Bank Street will be addressed as part on the site plan approval process.
