RECOMMANDATIONS DU
RAPPORT
1. Que les Comités conjoints de
l’urbanisme et de l’environnement et de l’agriculture et des affaires rurales
recommandent au Conseil d’appuyer les modifications au Plan officiel,
amendement no 76, présentées dans les documents 1 et 2.
2. Que le directeur général, Urbanisme et
Gestion de la croissance, avise le ministre des Affaires
municipales et du Logement par écrit de la décision du Conseil relative aux modifications
proposées et demande le changement et l’approbation par la suite de
l’amendement no 76 du Plan officiel.
This report accompanies the report on the modifications to Official Plan No. 76 (OPA 76) that are proposed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The purpose of this report is to obtain Council approval for additional modifications to OPA 76 that staff are recommending be made, but which require Council approval before being forwarded to the Ministry.
Most of the changes are errors
and omissions that occurred in the translation of the policy changes presented
to Committees and Council and the preparation of the legal amendment. Staff also has had time to reflect on the changes
and, as a result, propose some new polices that will avoid the need for future
amendments. The modifications
recommended by staff are detailed in Documents 1 and 2. Document 1 has been formatted as
a legal amendment to OPA 76. This is
intended to assist the Ministry in making the modifications to the Official
Plan Amendment adopted by Council.
If supported, these modifications will be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing with a request that they be included in OPA 76 at the time that the amendment is approved by the Minister. Once approved by the Ministry, staff will consolidate these and the other policy changes made by OPA 76 into the Official Plan.
DISCUSSION
The modifications that staff are recommending, have been divided into eight categories as follows:
The following sections provide more detail regarding the more significant changes that staff are recommending.
Polices to be removed from OPA
76.
There are three situations where staff are recommending policies be removed. They are related to the new designation proposed in OPA 76 for large areas recommended for urban expansion, policy related to automobile oriented uses in the Central Area and policies related to parks and greenspace requirements.
Policies to be included in OPA
76.
There are two modifications where staff recommend the addition of new policies to OPA 76. They are changes to the flood plain policies and reinstating former road right-of-way protection corridors.
Schedule 44 to OPA 76 identifies the three parcels of land located south of Stittsville that were to be added to the urban area by resolution of Council when OPA 76 was approved. Staff had also recommended the addition of these lands and proposed the new designation of “Developing Community (Expansion Area)”. This new designation outlines the studies that must be undertaken by the owners before Council approves development to proceed. This designation did not require a community design plan to be prepared and did not require an Official Plan amendment. The resolution passed by Council designated these lands as “Future Urban Area”. This designation requires a community design plan to be prepared and an Official Plan amendment to be approved prior to the lands becoming part of the urban area. Staff believes that this was an error. The proposed modification at Item 36 in Document 1 changes the designation of these lands to “Developing Community (Expansion Area)”.
Reasons for the balance of the modifications, not addressed here, are included in Document 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
The changes to the flood plain policies may permit rebuilding of some waterfront dwellings where the premise is that there must be a reduction of the impact on flooding. The remaining changes have little impact on the environmental policies.
RURAL
IMPLICATIONS
The changes to the flood plain policies may permit rebuilding of some waterfront dwellings in the rural area or in villages.
CONSULTATION
All but the policies related to the flood plain have been discussed with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The City’s Conservation Partners were consulted on the modifications for the flood plain policies.
The majority of the modifications are technical in nature and retain the same purpose as the draft policies reviewed by Councillors prior to the adoption of OPA 76. Where new policies have been added the issues addressed remedy concerns, expressed by individual Councillors and their staff, which have been further investigated by Staff.
There are no legal/risk management implications associated with this report.

DISPOSITION
NOTE: The following Table has been formatted as
a legal amendment to OPA 76. This will
assist the Ministry in making the modifications to the Official Plan Amendment
adopted by Council. Once approved staff will consolidate these and the other
policy changes made by OPA 76 into the Official Plan.
Item |
Section |
Description |
|
2.2 |
Insert a new Item 5.c) to OPA 76 to read as follows: “by
deleting the final sentence from the first paragraph of the preamble,
beginning with the words “Decisions on changing boundaries…”; and renumber the remaining Items accordingly. REASON: This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to Council
(pg.2-5), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.2.2 (now 2.2.3) |
Modify
Item 8.f) as follows: “by inserting the following text immediately after the last
sentence in policy 11.a, to read as follows: “Where the existing zoning provisions are sufficient to meet the intensification and density targets in the time-frame defined by this Official Plan, these targets shall not be used as a planning rationale for approving additional height or density in excess of the current zoning.” and renumber the remaining
Items accordingly. REASON: Council Disposition 68 added this text on the 10 June, 2009,
Joint Committee Recommendation No. ‘2.f’.
However this text was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.2.2 (now 2.2.3) |
Further
modify Item 8.f) as follows: “by inserting the following text immediately after the last
sentence in policy 11.b, to read as follows: “Where community design plans and secondary plans contain sufficient development potential to meet intensification and density targets in the time frame defined by this Official Plan, these plans shall not be altered for the purpose of achieving intensification.” and renumber the remaining
Items accordingly. REASON: Council Disposition 68 added this text on the 10 June, 2009,
Joint Committee Recommendation No. ‘2.f’.
However this text was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.2.2 (now 2.2.3) |
Further
modify Item 8.f) as follows: “by deleting the words “to the mix and density of residential
dwellings will constitute the following:” from the end of the
introductory section to Policy 17 so that it now reads: “17.
For those lands outside the Greenbelt that are included in a community
design plan approved by Council after June 10, 2009, the following housing
mix and density provisions apply:” REASON: The language of the existing
policy is repetitive. |
|
2.3.1 |
Insert a new Item 9.j) as follows: “Section
2.3.1 is further amended by deleting the number ’17’ from the third
bullet of the tenth paragraph and replacing it with the number ‘23’”; and renumber the remaining Items accordingly. REASON:
This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to
Council (pg.2-20), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.3.2 |
Insert a new Item 10.c) as follows: “by
deleting the word ‘release’ from the third bullet of the second paragraph
of the preamble and replacing it with the word ‘treatment’”; and renumber the remaining Items accordingly. REASON:
This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to
Council (pg.2-26/pg2-27), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.3.2 |
Modify
Item 10.i) by deleting ‘d. and e.’ from the text of the new policy ‘5’ shown
within quotes. REASON: The text identified as ‘d’ and ‘e’ of the new policy 5 within
Item 10.i) should have remained as distinct stand-alone policies (they are
existing policies 5 and 6 of S.2.3.2 in the Official Plan) and should not
have been combined within the new policy 5. |
|
2.4.3 |
Modify Item 15.b) as follows: by
deleting the phrase ‘natural features’ from the second bullet”; REASON:
This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to
Council (pg.2-36/pg2-38), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.4.3 |
Modify Item 15.e) as follows: by deleting
the word “The” from the phrase “The subwatershed plan” and replacing it with
the word “A” so that the phrase reads: “A subwatershed plan”; REASON: The affected sentence in policy 7.c begins “A
subwatershed plan…” rather than “The subwatershed plan…” as has been
stated in OPA 76 and hence the wording of Item 15.e of OPA 76 needs to be
corrected (see Document 13 pg.2-37 / pg.2-39 of annotated version of the
Plan). |
|
2.4.3 |
Modify Item 15.j) as follows: by
deleting the word ‘systems’ and replacing it with the word ‘system’. REASON: A typo in OPA 76. See
pg.2-37 of Document 13 / pg.2-39 of annotated version of the OP. |
|
2.4.5 |
Modify Item 17.b) as follows: by
deleting the phrase “by updating the reference to Figure 2.5” and replacing
it with the phrase “by deleting the reference to Figure 2.5 and replacing it
with Figure 2.7” REASON: The text of Item 17.b of OPA 76 states “by updating the
reference to Figure 2.5 in the second paragraph and in the figure that
follows the second paragraph”. It
does not specify what the actual numbered change was. The change to the text portion is shown in
Document 13 presented to Council (pg.2-40) and annotated version of the Plan
(pg.2-41) but other than reflecting the new ‘2.7’, the presentation of the
Figure itself does not actually show a strike through and shading format – it
just shows Figure 2.7. The revised
text for Item 17b above addresses both issues. |
|
2.5.1 |
Modify Item 19.d) as follows: by
deleting the phrase “new vision for exercise” and replacing it with the
phrase “Council-approved planning exercise”. REASON:
The reference in Item 19.d to text “new vision for exercise” as the
phrase the new text is to follow is misquoted. It is correctly placed in Document 13
presented to Council (pg.2-45) and the annotated OP (pg.2-46) and the
revision identifies the correct wording of the phrase the new text is to follow. |
|
2.5.1 |
Modify Item 19.f) as follows: by
deleting the word “provides” where it occurs within the text shown in quotes
and replacing it with the word “provide”. REASON: This corrects a grammatical error. |
|
2.5.1 |
Modify Item 19.j) as follows: by
deleting the phrase “and promote environmental sustainability” where it
occurs within the text shown in quotes. Section
2.5.1, Design Objective 6 is further amended by deleting the words ‘, and
promote environmental sustainability’. REASON:
This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to
Council (pg.2-27), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.5.1 |
Modify Item 19.r) as follows: by
deleting the word ‘incentives’ in the first bullet and replacing it
with the word ‘incentive’. REASON:
This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to
Council (pg.2-47), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.5.1 |
Modify item 19.w) as follows: by
inserting the phrase “the new” following the phrase “a new policy following”
and by deleting the phrase ‘number ‘3’ and replacing it with the word ‘above’
so that the entire phrase reads as follows: “by
adding a new policy following the new policy above as follows:” REASON: Editorial, to accommodate the addition of a new policy 3
subsequently added by Council through Motion on June 10. The policy itself was shown as policy 2 in
Document 13 presented to Council (pg.2-49) and policy 5 in the annotated
version of the OP (pg.2-50). |
|
|
Modify Item 20) by adding two additional changes as follows : “b)
by deleting the words “The City will prepare a Municipal Housing
Statement”, at the beginning of
policy 4, and replacing them with the words “ The City’s Housing Strategy”.
c) by deleting the words “Municipal
Housing Statement”, in the first sentence of Policy 5, and replacing them
with the words “The City’s Housing Strategy”. REASON: Editorial, to reflect the change in terminology to the City’s
Housing Strategy. The objectives of these policies do not change. |
|
2.5.5 |
Modify Item 21.b) as follows: b. by
deleting the word “resources” from the phrase “by deleting the paragraph of
the Preamble which begins ‘Built heritage resources’ and…” REASON: Editorial correction. |
|
2.5.5 |
Insert a new Item 21.d) to read as follows: “by
deleting the words ‘Section 2.5.7’ and replacing them with the words ‘Section
2.5.6’ in the second bullet of the ‘Documentary and material heritage’
section of the preamble.:” and renumber the remaining Items accordingly. REASON:
This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to Council
(pg.2-54), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.5.5 |
Insert a new Item 21.k) to read as follows: “by
inserting within policy 9.a the phrase “as amended from time to time”
immediately following the phrase “City Council’s Handbook for Evaluating
Heritage Buildings and Areas”; and renumber the remaining Items accordingly. REASON: This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to Council
(pg.2-56), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
2.5.6 (Figure 2.5.6) |
Modify Item 22 as follows: “by
inserting a new j) to read as follows: “by
adding a new A.3 to Figure 2.5.6 immediately following A.2 to read as
follows: “3. Situate the study area within its city-wide
context. Include a description of its
role within and relationship to the broader community.” and
renumber the remaining Items accordingly. REASON: This change was
proposed by staff and was included in Document 13 presented to Council, but
because it was not highlighted as a change it was not included in OPA
76.
|
|
3.2.1 |
Modify
Item 40 as follows: by adding the word
“and” at the end of the phrase “adjustment to the definition of features
and functions” where it occurs in the text numbered ‘1’ so that it
reads “adjustment to the definition of features and functions and REASON: This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to Council
(pg.3-6), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
3.6.4 |
Modify Item 68 as
follows: by inserting a new
“1” to read as follows: “deleting from the
second sentence the reference to “section 2.5.7” and replacing it with
“Section 2.5.6”; and” and renumbering the
remaining changes within Item 68 accordingly. REASON: This is
a technical change that was not contained in Document 13 presented to
Council. However, given the technical
nature of this change a modification is considered appropriate. |
|
3.6.6 |
Deleting Item 78 in
its entirety. REASON: This policy was added to the final draft Official Plan
Amendment. The policy was not highlighted as an added policy and no reference
to its addition or purpose was provided to Council in the staff report. The policy was included in OPA 76. The Policy prohibits the construction of new gas bars, service
stations, automobile sales and drive-through facilities in the Central Area.
While staff view this language as only an explicit statement of the intent
already present in the Official Plan, it would nonetheless be appropriate
that this policy statement be given greater exposure for comment. For this
reason staff recommend that the policy be removed from OPA 76 and be
reconsidered by Council as the subject of a separate Official Plan Amendment.
|
|
3.7.2 |
Modify
Item 97 as follows: “by
adding the following phrase to the end of the existing wording: “and
by deleting the word ‘a’ from the phrase ‘for a larger lots’.” REASON: This is a technical change that was not contained in Document 13
presented to Council. However, given
the technical nature of this change a modification is considered appropriate. |
|
3.7.2 |
Modify
Item 110 as follows: “by
modifying policy 21 to read as follows
: 21.
In reference to Policy 20, no more than two lots will be created from
any lot in existence on the 13th May 2003, or from a lot that
was approved by Council under its grandfathering policies after that date.
In addition no further severance will be permitted from either the
severed or retained lot.”
|
|
3.7.3 |
Modify
Item 112 as follows: by
deleting the lead-in statement that reads “Amend the Preamble to Section
3.7.3 by deleting the sentence that starts with the words ‘Limited
development...’ at the end of paragraph 5 and replacing it with the
following:” “Amend
the Preamble to Section 3.7.3 by deleting the sentence that starts with the
words “Limited new
development…” at the
end of paragraph 5 and replacing it with he following:” REASON: This rectifies two minor grammatical errors in the lead-in
sentence to Item 112. |
|
3.7.3 |
Insert a new Item 123 to read as follows: “Amend
Section 3.7.3, Policy 14, by deleting the last two sentences in their
entirety.” and renumber subsequent items accordingly. REASON: This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to Council
(pg.3-47), but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
3.12 3.13 (new) |
Modify Item 145 as follows: 1. by deleting the lead in sentence that
reads “Add two new Sections as follows:” and replacing it with the
sentence “Add a new Section as follows:” and 2. by deleting the heading “3.12 Urban
Expansion Study Area” and all the text and policies that follow and
relate to this section; and 3. by renumbering the heading “3.13
Developing Community (Expansion Area)” to read “3.12 Developing
Community (Expansion Area)”. REASON: The designation “3.12 Urban Expansion Study Area” was prepared
in anticipation of the staff-recommended urban area expansion of 850 ha. It was meant to apply to the larger parcels
where a community design plan or its equivalent would be required prior to
development occurring. When Council
made its decision on the urban boundary this new designation no longer
applies to any land in the city. This policy should be removed. The second new designation described under Item 145, “Developing
Community (Expansion Area)”, is to be retained and re-numbered
accordingly. It will apply to the
three small parcels of land added by the City to the urban area. In this
regard, Schedule R44 to OPA 76 needs to be modified to reflect the correct
designation (see item 36 of this table). |
|
4.7.1 |
Delete Item 195, part 1, and replace it with the following: “1. deleting the phrase ‘and major site plans and
major’ and replacing it with the phrase ‘site plan and’;
and” REASON: This is
a minor change intended to make the language clearer. |
|
4.7.1 |
Delete the new Policy 3 in Item 196 and replace it with a new sub
policy added to Policy 2 as follows: “f) A description of how the principles of
Design Objective 7 (Section 2.5.1) to maximize the energy-efficiency of
development and to promote sustainable design that reduces consumption,
energy use and carbon footprint of the
built environment have been considered. A sustainable design checklist will
be prepared to assist in this description”. REASON: The existing policy is
poorly worded and the matters contained in Design Objective 7 should be
considered as part of the Integrated Environmental Review. The policy is
reworded as part of Policy 2 to do this. |
|
4.8.1 |
Modify Item 226 as follows: 1.
by inserting the following Preamble text immediately prior to the
heading ‘Limits of the Flood Plain’: “The purpose of
these policies is to reduce the potential for public cost or risk of injury,
loss of life, property damage, and economic and social disruption, which may
result directly or indirectly from development and other activities in flood
plains. The policies also recognize
the significant role that flood plains play in support of natural drainage
systems. The overall intent is to
limit development within the flood plain.
In a few established communities, provision is made for some
development within the flood fringe, where it has occurred in the past.” REASON: This
change was proposed by staff and was included in Document 13 presented to
Council, but because it was not highlighted as a change it was not included
in OPA 76. It provides an introduction to the policies that follow. 2. by replacing the words ‘flood flows’ in the
new policy 5 b with the word “flooding” 3. by inserting a new policy 4 c as follows: c. The replacement of a dwelling that was in
existence at the date of adoption of this plan with a new dwelling where: i.
the new dwelling is generally the same gross floor area
and footprint as the existing building; and ii.
the new dwelling, in conjunction with any associated
site alteration does not result in a negative effect on flooding; and iii.
the new dwelling and any associated site alteration are
approved by the appropriate Conservation Authority. and renumbering the remainder of
the policies accordingly. REASON: The City’s Conservation Partners consider that there is some merit
in permitting the replacement of existing dwellings located in the flood
plain where rebuilding does not result in a large increase in the floor area
or footprint of the building and provides opportunities to reduce the flood
impact and future risk. The Zoning Bylaw currently prohibits new dwellings
but does allow minor additions to existing buildings. The proposed change not
intended to permit new dwellings on vacant lots in the flood plain. This
policy is consistent with Provincial Policy Statement. |
|
4.8.7 |
Modify Item 239 by adding the following sentence at the end of
the text within quotations: “This policy is not
to be interpreted so as to require a change in the provisions of the zoning
by-law for 4120A-L Riverside Drive in effect on May 14, 2003.” REASON: This wording was shown in Document 13 presented to Council as part
of policy 5, S.4.8.7, but it was overlooked and not included in OPA 76. |
|
4.9 |
Modify Item 246 of OPA 76 to include the following additional
policies: “Section 4.9 is amended by adding the following: 3.
Adding a new sub-policy policy 1c as follows: “c. Encourage consideration of alternative
energy systems” 4. Adding the following new policies after Policy 1 “2. Landscape designs shall consider energy and
water conservation in landscape design through the following measures: a.
Provide for energy conservation through appropriate
location and choice of species to provide shade and cooling during summer and
wind protection in winter. a.
Utilize native
species and species with low watering requirements wherever possible. b. Utilize permeable, light-coloured or landscaped surfaces wherever practical to reduce heat retention and encourage natural infiltration of stormwater. 3. Design and orientation of subdivisions and
developments should maximize the opportunity for use of alternative and
renewable energy systems by: a.
Maximizing solar exposure through street and building
orientation. b.
Ensuring that opportunities presented by access to
sunlight are not impaired on adjacent properties. REASON: This change was proposed by staff and was
included in Document 13 presented to Council, but because it was not highlighted
as a change it was not included in OPA 76. |
|
Section 4.10 |
Modify
Item 247 of OPA 76 by deleting changes 1 to 5 so that the amendment made by
this item will begin as follows: Section
4.10 is amended by: 1.
inserting a new heading and policies next after the last policy as follows: “Development adjacent to major greenspaces
and waterways….” And
renumbering the subsequent policies as 11 to 14 NOTE: OPA 76 included changes that were also proposed by an earlier
Amendment (OPA) No. 72. The deletion of sub-items 1-5 and the associated
policies is requested because the Ontario Municipal Board has approved OPA 72
that includes the policies contained in these sub items. |
|
Schedule R44 |
Modify
the legend of Schedule R44 by deleting the phrase “Land Changed from General
Rural Area to Future Urban Area on Schedule A and on Schedule B” and
replacing it as follows: “LAND CHANGED FROM GENERAL RURAL AREA TO DEVELOPING COMMUNITY (EXPANSION AREA) ON SCHEDULE A AND ON SCHEDULE B. TERRAINS DONT LA DÉSIGNATION PASSERA DES ZONES RURALE GÉNÉRALE A ZONE
URBAINE SUR L’ANNEXE A ET A <<ZONE COLLECTIVE EN DÉVELOPPEMENT (SECTEUR
URBAINE AGRANDI)>> SUR L’ANNEXE B“ REASON: The Council resolution inadvertently identified the change in
designation for the land identified on Schedule R44 as being Future Urban
Area. The policies of the Developing Community (Expansion Area) were intended
to apply to these lands. |
|
Annex 1, Tables 1
through 14 |
Modify
Item 284 of OPA 76 by adding, in the proper alphabetical order, the rural
arterial road right-of-way protection segments and requirements as set out in
Appendix 1 - Staff Recommended Modifications to OPA 76 - Road Right-of-Way Protection to the
contents of in Table 1 - Road Right-of-Way Protection, in OPA 76, REASON: The former Region’s 1988 Official Plan (OP) and the City of Ottawa
2003 OP generally had a road right-of-way (ROW) protection requirement for
rural arterial roads of 30m except for the older core sections of villages
where a 23m ROW was protected. In
addition to villages there were a number of exceptions to this right-of-way
for rural arterial roads adjacent to the urban area where ROW of between 34m
to 44.5m was to be protected. OPA No.
76 incorrectly deleted these exceptions, which means that the default rural
standard of 30m would apply to these corridors. This error is to be corrected by
reinstating the original ROW width requirements of the 2003 OP for the
identified road segments. |
