1. REVISED DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW - URBAN
AREA: FINAL PUBLIC MEETING AND APPROVAL |
MOTION NO. 35/9
Moved
by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded
by Councillor S. Desroches
WHEREAS a motion was presented to Planning and
Environment Committee on April 8, 2008 which stated “that options regarding
updating of parking rules of certain non-residential uses not apply to Areas C
and D”;
AND WHEREAS the actual intention of this motion was to
revise Schedule 2A (Map of Rapid Transit Stations) to remove six proposed rapid
transit stations that have not yet been constructed and completed;
AND WHEREAS it is the objective of this motion to
ensure that the specific minimum and maximum parking rates for properties in
proximity to rapid transit stations do not apply to lands in the vicinity of
these future stations as it is premature at this time;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Schedule 2A of the Draft
Comprehensive Zoning By-law be revised to delete reference to the proposed
Market Place, Barrhaven Centre, Woodroffe, River, Spratt and Limebank transit
stations.
THAT pursuant to the Planning Act, subsection

CITY COUNCIL 14 MAY

MOTION
Moved
by Councillor P. Feltmate
Seconded
by Councillor M. Wilkinson
WHEREAS
the draft comprehensive zoning by-law proposes a standard minimum parking rate
for shopping centres of 3.4 spaces per 100m2 of gross leasable floor
area for lands in Area C (suburban) and D (rural) outside of the 600m radius of
rapid transit stations;
AND WHEREAS this rate does not
sufficiently account for uses in shopping centres that may generate a higher parking
demand than the standard shopping centre parking rate;
AND WHEREAS there is
justification to increase the shopping centre parking rate to better acknowledge
the potential for these high traffic-generating uses;
AND WHEREAS the proposed
reduced minimum parking rate for shopping centres can also result in parking
shortages when a high traffic-generating use such as a restaurant, bar, place of assembly,
place of worship and recreational and athletic facility occupies a large
portion of the floor area of a shopping center;
AND
WHEREAS the predominance of a higher parking-generating use in a shopping
centre can justify applying the higher parking rate for that use;
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that Section 101 be revised to:
- Increase the shopping centre parking rate in Area
C (suburban) and D (rural) outside of the 600m radius of rapid transit
stations from the proposed 3.4 spaces/100m2 of gross leasable area to 3.6
spaces/100m2 of gross leasable area, and
- Where a restaurant, bar, place of assembly, place
of worship or recreational and athletic facility is located within a
shopping centre, and one or more occupancies of that same use comprise
more than 30% of the gross leasable area of the shopping centre, then
required parking for that use will be calculated at the parking rate
specified for that use, and not at the shopping centre rate.
THAT pursuant to
the Planning Act, subsection 34(17) no further notice be given.
