BACKGROUND

 

On 2 October 2008, the Community and Protective Service Committee approved the following Motion:
 

Whereas the Ottawa Police developed a project involving local youth from Foster Farm, Britannia Woods and Michele Heights to remove graffiti from the walls of the hydro transformer station at 1290 Richmond Road;

 

And whereas, the project under the supervision of the Ottawa Police Service will be carried out with the co-operation of Hydro One, Neighbourhood Watch, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre;

 

And whereas, the required waiver from the requirements of the City’s Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law Number 2005-439 has not been obtained in time for this weekend’s (Oct. 4) scheduled launch of the project and the event had to be postponed;

 

And whereas, the By-law prohibits mural signs in a District 1 zone;

 

And whereas, this worthwhile project should be allowed to proceed this fall;

 

Therefore be it resolved that the Community and Protective Services Committee recommend that Council approve a minor variance to By-law Number 2005-439 to:

a)         vary Sections 124 (2) to permit a mural sign in a District 1 zone, and

b)         enable the undertaking of this project this fall subject to compliance with all other provisions of the by-law including that the mural shall not be used for any form of commercial advertising;

 

And be it further resolved that the Community and Protective Services Committee recommend that Council waive the public notification requirements under of By-law 2002-522 as required.
