BACKGROUND
This site is described as Part of Lots 3 and 4, Concession 10 and identified as Stage 14 and part of Stages 11 and 12 in the Avalon South Community. This application comprises the last stage of this subdivision. It is bound to the north by the Blackburn Hamlet Bypass, to the east by the future extension of Portobello Boulevard, to the south by Stages 12 and 13 and to the west by residential development.
This proposal is in keeping with the approved Avalon South Community Concept Plan which intended to have a combination of detached, semi-detached, multiple attached dwellings, apartments (stacked townhomes), a commercial development, a school and a public square in this stage of development. The draft approval for this plan of subdivision, which includes these lands, recently has been revised and extended.
The current zoning on these lands is I1B – Minor Institutional and DR - Development Reserve, which recognizes lands intended for future urban development in areas designated General Urban Area in the Official Plan.
Proposed Zoning
The requested Zoning By-law
Amendment will rezone these lands to an R3Z (1684) zone to facilitate detached,
semi-detached and multiple attached dwelling units, an R4Z (1296) zone to
facilitate apartment dwellings, an LC6 zone to permit a local commercial
development, an I1B zone to facilitate a school and an O1 zone to allow a
public square.
DISCUSSION
Official Plan
The Official Plan designates the subject property as "General Urban Area" which permits a full range of types and densities of housing to meet the needs of all ages, incomes and life circumstances, including low, medium and high density housing and seniors' apartments, in combination with well located employment, shopping, service, cultural, leisure, park, natural areas and institutional uses to facilitate the development of complete and sustainable communities.
Details of Proposed Zoning
The proposal is to amend the zoning from DR - Development Reserve to R3Z[1684] which will permit detached, semi-detached and multiple attached dwelling units. This development is in an area of sensitive marine clay soils. Council policies require that tree planting in these soils be setback from main buildings by 7.5 metres and located at a minimum of 2.5 metres from the curb. The proposed exception zones will reflect this requirement as the front yard setback has been increased to accommodate tree planting. This distance, in addition to the width of the standard right of way in this area of the development, would permit the planting of the recommended species identified in the "Trees and Foundations Strategy in Areas of Sensitive Marine Clay in the City of Ottawa" report presented to Planning and Environment Committee in September, 2005. The front and rear yard setbacks in this zone will allow for the planting of trees to create the desired streetscape within the community and provides a functional rear amenity area for each unit.
The R4Z [1296] will also be used to allow for the construction of stacked townhomes around the public square in this stage of the subdivision and adjacent to the public square in Stage 11.
This neighbourhood will provide a diversity of residential housing types and densities. The proposed medium and high density residential in this stage will provide a form of affordable housing given the increasing market demand for townhomes and apartments in this area.
The I1B zone will be used in this amendment to permit the construction of a future elementary school at the intersection of Esprit Drive and Vistapark Drive. The existing LC6 zone will facilitate the development of a local, small scale commercial plaza at the corner of the Blackburn Hamlet Bypass and the future extension of Portobello Boulevard. The O1 zone will allow a public square along Esprit Drive, which will be a focal point for the apartments.
CONSULTATION
Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy. The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff recommendation.
A number of residents surrounding the subject lands sent in comments inquiring about the proposed uses. In particular they wanted to know where the commercial plaza and apartments were going to be constructed and what school board had reserved the institutional block at the intersection of Esprit Drive and Vistapark Drive. There was also some concerns expressed with the impact the construction traffic and the operation of heavy machinery could have on their existing foundations and interior finishing (i.e. ceramic flooring, walls, etc.).
Staff explained that the neighbourhood development plan for the Avalon South Community was in place since 2004 and that the subdivision was draft approved in 2005 and extended earlier this year and that these plans were being implemented through this Zoning By-law amendment. The homeowners were generally satisfied with the information provided and accepted the future uses proposed in this stage of development including their location.
