ZONING BY-LAW - URBAN AREA: FINAL PUBLIC MEETING AND APPROVAL |
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 34(17) no further notice be
given.

TABLING
CARRIED
CITY COUNCIL 14 MAY 2008
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:
THAT pursuant to the Planning
Act, subsection 34(17) no further notice be given.
