should consider a future link-in with McCormick Park. This will be achieved
through collaboration of property owners, the community and the City of Ottawa

A12 Brownfield Redevelopment Strategy
Since some of
this Mixed Use Area was an industrial area many years ago, there are
potentially a number of properties with some significant contamination
challenges. The City specifically encourages the redevelopment of such
properties through the Ottawa Brownfields Community
Improvement Plan (BCIP).
The BCIP places
the highest priority for brownfield redevelopment in
the Central Area, Mixed Use Centres, along Mainstreets
and within 600 metres of existing or planned rapid transit stations.
Therefore, this block is an excellent candidate to take advantage of the
various incentive options the program provides. Other properties within
the designated Mixed Use and Traditional Mainstreet
areas with potential contamination issues may do the same, if qualified.
The
Rehabilitation Grant Program component of the BCIP, for example, can provide
funds to a maximum of 50% of eligible cleanup costs through a variety of grant
options. More detail about these options is provided at: http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/planning/brownfields/index_en.html
This Community
Design Plan encourages the use of the City’s
comprehensive Brownfields Program in conjunction with
other development incentive mechanisms, such as Section 37 of the Planning Act, to make desirable
redevelopment feasible and a reality. Any forthcoming
redevelopment applications for contaminated sites will include consultations
with local residents and community associations; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT pursuant to the Planning Act, subsection 34(17) no further notice be given.
