The
first
item-
4.1

think
many
of
us
were
at
the
table
yesterday
when
that
was
brought
to
the
finance
and
Corporate
Services
committee,
our
members
interested
in
receiving
a
presentation
on
that
again,
no
I
think
everyone
here
was
pretty
much
available
for
that.
So
is
that
item
carried
Lauren
and
Paul?
Thank
you
very
much
great
work
on
that
application.

Edinburgh
place.
We
have
again
Vegeta
al-shawa
with
Macintosh
Perry
Michelle
Julio
available
to
speak
to
the
item.
I
wasn't
anticipating
in
a
presentation
to
the
applicants.
If
the
committee
is
prepared
to
carry
this,
did
you
still
wish
to
speak.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
that
item
carried?
Thank
you.
Colleagues.
We
have
an
item
at
200
and
201
feral,
Street
I
know
we
have
delegations
to
this
one
and
I'm,
anticipating
a
presentation
so
we'll
hold
that
item
the
zoning
bylaw
Amendment
at
1184,
1188
and
1196
Cummings
Avenue.
We
have
a
delegation
for
that
one,
so
we
will
hold
it.
B
Is
the
status
update
for
plan
and
housing
committee
increase
in
motions
for
the
period
ending
June
23
23
received,
thank
you
and
then
I'm
going
to
now
before
we
get
to
it,
just
ask
for
your
permission
to
lift
the
information
previously
distributed
and
add
it
to
the
agenda.
Counselor
Curry
has
that
motion.
A
B
H
Sure
I
brought
it
out
at
the
last
meeting,
so
I
don't
feel
like
I
need
to
read
the
whole
thing,
but
essentially
the
Miracle
League,
which
is
a
beloved
Park,
that
provides
an
accessible
space
for
children
to
play,
is
received
a
donation
for
a
new
sign
and
it's
been
a
bit
of
a
challenge
to
locate
it
just
because
of
right-of-way
and
Etc,
et
cetera.
But
staff
have
worked
with
me
on
this
to
find
a
solution
so
therefore
be
it
resolve.
The
committee
recommends.
B
B
I
So
the
recommendations
are
to
permit
retail
food
stores
in
additional
zones
and
we're
going
to
be
adding
a
definition
for
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
and
modifying
the
current
definition
of
utility
installation
to
exclude
renewable
energy
generation
facilities.
From
that
definition,
we
also
looked
are
looking
to
limit
the
size
of
battery
energy
storage
systems
in
agricultural
zones.
The
first
recommendation
here
is
a
housekeeping
Amendment
and
the
second
two
are
interim
measures.
Until
we
have
a
report
in
Q4
of
2023
to
introduce
regulations
regarding
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
next
slide.
I
So
providing
retail
food
stores
in
more
locations,
so
these
amendments
are
proposed
to
permit
retail
food
stores
in
the
last
remaining
zones
where
retail
store
is
permitted
and
Retail
food
store
is
not
permitted.
This
is
a
general
housekeeping.
Amendment,
a
retail
food
store
will
be
added
as
a
permitted
use
to
the
following
zones,
so
certain
R5
zones,
so
residential
fifth
density
zones,
where
limited
non-residential
uses,
are
already
permitted
on
the
ground
floor
and
then
in
the
I2
zone.
I
I
This
report
will
also
be
going
to
a
rack
tomorrow,
as
these
facilities
are
principally
proposed
in
the
rural
areas.
These
are
interim
measures
until
the
full
set
of
Provisions
are
brought
in
the
fall
of
2023
as
directed
by
Council
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
will
not
be
permitted
in
any
Zone
as
of
right
in
the
city
until
these
the
full
set
of
Provisions
is
in
place
and
approved
by
Council
before
the
end
of
the
year.
I
I
B
J
B
J
J
Okay,
so
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation,
okay,
so
it's
kind
of
coming
up
weird
on
my
screen,
but
I
can
see
it
exit
full
screen,
that's
better,
all
right,
yeah,
so
I'm
I'm,
not
here
to
talk
about
the
grocery
stores
but
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
renewable
energy
generation
and
batteries
next
slide.
Please
I
think
most
of
you
know:
cafes,
we've
been
around
for
over
10
years,
we're
a
network
of
local
environmental
leaders.
J
J
Next
slide,
please!
So
this
thing
came
as
a
huge
surprise
for
us.
We
were
well
aware
of
the
official
plan
having
Provisions
to
permit
renewable
energy,
and
we
were
well
aware
of
councilor
Brown's
motion
that
was
passed
in
February,
asking
for
the
zoning
regulations
on
this
to
be
spelled
out
by
Q4.
So
the
fact
that
suddenly,
in
the
summer,
we're
bang
this
comes
with
no
consultation
with
kind
of
like
a
surprise.
So
I
got
this
email
saying
like
Angela
Angela.
Have
you
seen
this?
J
J
So
after
I
peeled
myself
off
the
ceiling,
I
was
then
in
like
told
I
should
speak
with
Carol
Ruddy,
who
has
excellent
communication
skills
and
was
able
to
very
effectively
like
lower
my
blood
pressure,
and
we
had
a
good
chat,
and
she
assured
me
that
there
was
no
evidence
like
there
was
no
project,
that's
being
held
up
by
this.
This
is
just
purely
an
interim
measure.
It's
not
going
to
have
any
measurable
impact
on
anything.
J
J
It's
like
a
little
bit
bizarre
and
Carol
told
me
that
this
was
coming
from
staff,
so
we're
usually
told
about
how
staff
are
very
busy
and
tied
up
and
I.
Think
there's
many
things
that
the
new
OP
has
has
introduced
uncertainty.
Hence
we're
working
on
the
new
zoning
bylaw,
so
it
seems
very
mysterious
that
we're
suddenly
using
City
administrative
resources
to
put
these
like
interim
measures
for
no
apparent
reason.
So
next
slide.
J
Please,
however,
we're
not
excited
because
we
are
not
seeing
any
project
held
up,
so
I
thought
that
I
I
would
give
you
a
little
bit,
though,
of
of
how
we're
seeing
this.
We
know
that
there's
a
very
high
percent
of
people
in
Ottawa
that
are
concerned
about
the
climate
emergency,
and
this
is
like
I,
would
say:
75
85
percent
of
people-
and
this
is
not
just
inner
urban.
This
is
everywhere.
The
problem
is
the
question
comes
like
well.
What
can
we
do
about
this
climate
emergency
and
it's
an
uncomfortable
topic?
J
So
most
people
then
like
go
live
their
normal
lives,
but
in
terms
of
the
solutions
that
that
are
there
in
terms
of
individual
solution,
government
solution
regulation
like
Banning
renewable
energy,
is
like
never
on
the
menu
it
it
just
like
isn't
so
all
Energy
Solutions
come
with
risks
and
we
need
to
manage
risks
with
a
responsible
and
balanced
way.
So
I
mean
one
of
the
questions
that
I've
been
asked
as
well
is
Ottawa
going
to
regulate
like
new
gas
plants,
as
the
Ford
government
has
has
proposed?
J
Is
there
going
to
be
zoning
that
permits
setting
up
you
fossil
fuel
infrastructure?
So
these
these
questions
are
are
being
raised
because
of
this
like
sudden
ban,
which
I'm
told
is
just
for
five
months
and
just
interim
next
slide,
please
so
cafes
has
been
doing
these
workshops
across
the
city
on
the
climb
on
climate,
resiliency
and
resiliency
is
defined
as
a
system's
ability
to
anticipate,
prepared
for
and
adapt
to
changing
conditions,
and
it
part
of
it
is
also
like
the
ability
to
recover
like
to
recover
from
shocks
next
slide.
Please.
J
So
on
the
energy
Dimension,
we
we
have
been
hearing
a
lot
from
from
people
in
terms
of
how
people
want
backup,
Solutions
and
micro
grids
and
all
this
kind
of
thing,
but
at
a
higher
level
when,
when
I,
look
at
the
literature
like
what
are
the
dimensions
of
like
utility
or,
like
municipal
or
or
provincial
level,
energy
resiliency,
these
Dimensions
that
I've
taken
from
okay,
my
slide
is
a
little
cut
off.
So
this
is
like
a
community
resiliency
options.
Report
from
2023.
J
Sorry,
I
I
have
to
admit:
I
haven't
timed
this,
so
people
are
concerned
about
energy
resiliency.
But
we're
also
aware
that
in
the
rural
area,
there
is
a
great
deal
of
concern
about
Solutions
being
imposed
on
them
from
like
the
urban
area.
So
it's
like
okay,
inner
otherwise
making
decisions
that
will
then
Force
industrial,
wind
turbines
and
all
kinds
of
things
on
the
rural
area.
B
K
J
Yes,
I'm,
like
I'm
planning
to
and
again
like
the
the
main
concern
is
that
we
figure
out
ways
that
I
think
the
the
public
consultation,
like
certainly
there's
been
like
zero
public
consultation
on
this
interim
measure.
Right
it
just
like
showed
up,
but
for
the
the
new
zoning
regulations
that
we're
expecting
in
Q4,
I
I.
Think
that
that
the
pitch
I'm
trying
to
make
is
that
we,
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
the
different
rural
voices
are
are
heard
and
there's
like
a
a
more
in-depth
consultation
than
just
saying
seven
days
before.
J
You'll
get
some
documents,
because
there
there
are
certain
organizations
like
cafes
right
that
keep
an
eye
on
the
legislative
agenda.
And
there
are.
There
is
like
a
very
active
anti-wind,
a
set
of
people
that
are
just
a
small
group
of
people,
but
they're,
very
active
but
I
think
to
be
fair
to
the
rural
residents.
J
I
think
that
there
should
be
a
more
full-some
consultation
process,
especially
if
the
city
is
has
engaged
a
consultant
and
that
they'll
be
like
more
elaborate
knowledge
being
generated
in
terms
of
the
dimensions
that
need
to
be
considered
before
deciding
on
setbacks
and
sizes,
and
definitions
and
figuring
out.
What
is
the
best
practice
in
in
other
parts
of
Canada,
if
not
North,
America.
K
K
L
Questions
are
very
simple
I,
just
you
know
in
particular
to
the
the
retail
food
stores.
I
know
it's
housekeeping.
Why
was
it
not
already
in
place?
It
seems
like
it's.
It's
a
given
right
that
we
want
to
see
more
our
food
stores.
We
want
to
see
more
accessibility
to
Food
Supplies.
Is
this
historically?
Was
there
a
reason
why
we
didn't
have
it
on
the
books.
I
L
You
have
food
insecurity,
so
I
was
pleased
to
see
that
in
regards
to
the
renewable
facilities,
I'm
pleased
that
we
are
putting
a
pause
on
it
to
see
what
the
report
says,
because
I
do
think
that
there
are
implications
with
where
we
position
these
locations
and
these
facilities,
particularly
for
Rural
communities,
so
just
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
what
will
be
coming
back
once
again,
you
haven't
you're
in
the
process
of
working
on
it.
So
I
don't
want
you
to
give
me
the
the
full
report,
because
otherwise
we'd
be
debating
that
here.
G
Review
of
you
know,
setbacks
and
so
on,
for
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
in
their
various
forms,
as
well
as
a
an
overview
of
current
practices
in
Ontario,
and
they
they
understand
that
they
have
to
consult
with
various
stakeholders.
They've
been
given
a
stakeholder
list
which
includes
Hydro,
Ottawa
and
Hydro,
One
and,
and
all
of
the
you
know,
Angela
and
cafes,
to
look
after
that
oversight
on
our
part
for
not
having
contacted
Angela
with
this
amendment.
Well,.
L
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
Hydro
Ottawa
is
also
included.
They're,
a
huge
partner
with
us
we're
their
largest
stakeholder
I,
will
ask,
though,
and
I'm
sure,
that
they're
on
the
list,
but
rules,
counselors
I'm,
assured
that
their
stakeholders
included
separately.
We
all
are
curious.
We
all
are
invested
in
the
outcome
of
this,
but
them
more
so
than
than
maybe
even
some
of
us
on
more
suburban
and
urban
areas.
G
L
You
know
once
again,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
my
colleagues
who
are
in
rural
areas
have
a
significant
heads
up
as
to
what's
coming
from
the
report
and
then,
of
course,
if
the
invite
is
extended
to
the
rest
of
us,
I'm
sure
we'll
be
interested
as
well.
But
if
that
could
be
included
on
the
stakeholder
list,
that
would
be,
and
the
comms
roll
out
that'd
be
appreciated.
Very
much.
Thank
you.
K
H
Great,
thank
you
yeah,
so
glad
to
see
the
update
on
retail
food
stores.
It
generated
a
lot
of
interest
and
some
of
my
last
15-minute
neighborhood
design
communities
that
would
love
a
grocery
store
or
closer
than
an
hour
walk,
but
it's
a
bit
of
a
chicken
and
an
egg
situation
because
because
they
don't
have
amenities,
it's
more
of
an
r3r4
Zone
in
those
communities.
So
I
was
just
wondering
why
you
could
explain
why
the
permissions
don't
extend
past
R5,
I,
think
I,
know
what
you're
going
to
say,
but.
I
H
B
M
M
So
the
site-
it's
just
under
a
hectare
right
now
and
it's
an
Ottawa
Community
Housing
property.
There
are
two
buildings
on
the
site:
existing
that's
11
and
a
13
story,
building
on
the
site
with
a
total
of
155
dwelling
units.
So
the
site
also
has
a
surface
and
underground
parking
garage
on
it,
which
is
seeking
to
be
redeveloped
for
a
new
proposed
development
of
a
20-story
building
with
160
units
within
it
for
Ottawa
Community,
Housing
next
slide.
M
So
the
current
zoning
on
the
property,
it's
a
residential
fifth
density
Zone
and
the
proposed
zoning
will
maintain
that
residential
shift
density
but
apply
two
different
exceptions.
One
to
address
the
existing
buildings,
the
two
11
and
13
story,
buildings
in
the
existing
situation
and
the
other
to
reflect
the
proposed
development
on
the
site.
So
I'm
going
to
come
back
in
a
second
to
the
proposed
amendments
to
floor
space,
index,
height
and
setbacks.
M
But
in
terms
of
why
we're
accepting
of
these
proposed
amendments
in
terms
of
aisle
with
the
applicant's
still
working
on
the
configuration
of
the
underground
parking
garage
and
it
will
be
bigger
in
places,
but
at
their
smallest
point,
they
are
proposing
4.5
meters
and
that
doesn't
impact
site
maneuverability.
So
we're
okay
with
that
there's
a
driveway
with
Max
right
now
in
our
zoning
bylaw,
and
the
intention
of
that
is
so
we
don't
really
have
wide
driveways
that
dominate
the
public
realm
in
this
particular
situation.
M
M
Next
slide,
please
so
in
terms
of
the
height
and
the
floor
space
index,
we
do
have
policy
permission
in
this
area
for
up
to
25
stories
with
a
floor
space
index
maximum
of
five
under
certain
circumstances,
which
are
being
met
through
this
application,
there's
Direction
in
our
official
plan
and
housing
and
homelessness
plan
to
prioritize
and
provide
affordable
housing
and
to
leverage
existing
sites
in
the
city.
In
order
to
do
so
next
slide,
please.
M
Foreign
separation
distances-
this
just
shows
you
can
see
the
parking
garage
on
the
site.
The
surface
parking
areas
where
the
proposed
building
will
be
the
policy
in
general
in
our
in
our
plan,
is
a
23
meter
setback
between
high-rise
buildings
and
to
accommodate
13
meters
on
each
site.
The
intention
of
this
is
to
ensure
that
there's
privacy
that
there's
not
Windows
facing
directly
into
each
other
from
high-rise
developments
and
that
there's
some
light
and
air
between
the
buildings.
So
we
have
two
scenarios
that
we
looked
at
when
considering
this
request
for
the
reduction.
M
It's
the
existing
scenario
right
now
and
potential
future
Redevelopment
of
the
sites
around
this
particular
proposed
site.
So
the
other
building,
that's
owned
by
Ottawa
Community
Housing,
is
on
the
left
of
the
screen
will
be
21
meters
away
from
this
proposed
development
and
has
a
blank
facade
on
that
sidewall
which
eliminates
our
concerns
about
privacy.
As
we
mentioned,
the
development
to
the
South
is
a
morgard
property
located
at
South,
160
Chapel
Street,
and
they
have
also
a
blank
facade
which
is
located
27.9
meters
away
from
this
proposed
high-rise,
where
their
Windows
face
on
this
development.
M
At
160
Chapel,
the
distance
is
about
60
meters,
so
that's
the
separation
distance
that
we're
contemplating
between
those
existing
high-rises.
This
proposed
development.
We
looked
at
it
to
the
South
and
it
is
built
to
approximately
the
maximum
proposed
density
in
the
official
plan,
and
so
we
looked
at
potential
Redevelopment
scenarios
in
that
area
and
we
think
generally
they
would
be
oriented
towards
Rito
Street
and
would
still
be
able
to
accommodate
those
reasonable
separation
distances
from
this
particular
proposal.
M
M
So
just
in
conclusion.
We
think
this
project
is
consistent
with
the
policy
Direction
and
our
official
plan,
especially
in
the
new
official
plan
and
the
direction
towards
looking
at
affordable
housing
projects
and
prioritizing
them.
It's
a
compatible
project
with
minimal
impacts
on
the
surrounding
area
and
it
provides
affordable
housing.
So
that's
my
presentation.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much
Aaron

do
have
the
applicants
who
to
whom
will

good
morning,
I'm
Arns

I'm,
an
associate
with
diamond
Schmidt,
Architects
and
I'll,
be
leading
the
presentation
this
morning
for
the
200
201
Friel
Street
development,
I'm
joined
by
the
client
team
here,
Baron
meyerhoffer
and
Dylan
Bennett,
my
colleague,
Stephanie
Huss
and
Nadia
desanti
practice
lead
from
wsp
Ottawa
and
Lead
planner
for
the
development
next
slide.
Please
foreign
for
this
morning
is
is
shown
to
you
here,
so
we
will
run
through
all
of
these
all
of
these
items
fairly
quickly.
D
This
morning,
one
note
to
mention
we
met
with
the
community
on
the
evening
of
June
26th
of
this
year,
detailed
the
project,
design
and
responded
to
questions
and
comments
from
the
community,
including
those
that
had
come
in
over
the
past
few
months,
as
this
project
has
been
in
development.
Next
slide,
please
to
quickly
go
through
the
project
context,
as
mentioned
it
is
located
in
the
Lower
Town
neighborhood
and
is
highlighted
here
in
yellow
and
orange.
D
The
Lower
Town
neighborhood
is
one
that
is
well
established,
containing
many
existing
Community
amenities,
shopping
areas,
schools,
libraries
Parks
among
others,
and
it's
also
well
connected
to
Transit
and
has
a
strong
pedestrian
focused
fabric.
Next
slide,
please
here
just
this
is
the
our
site
as
it
exists
right
now.
It
is
currently
a
closed
surface
parking
lot
alongside
one
level
of
below
grade
parking.
That
is
also
shuttered
at
the
moment.
D
This
is
the
view
along
beausoleil
Drive,
where
you
see
the
blank
slide
site,
we
believe
the
site
in
its
current
state
state
does
not
add
any
character
or
benefit
to
the
neighborhood
and,
in
fact,
the
tracks
from
The
Pedestrian
fabric
that
exists
or
is
actively
in
development
on
neighboring
properties.
Next
slide,
please.
D
D
So
here
we
just
see
a
quick
snapshot
of
a
few
of
the
existing
neighborhood
amenities,
including
schools,
parks
and
Library
facilities.
Next
slide,
please
and
a
snapshot
of
the
surrounding
high-rise
residential
architecture.
Some
of
these
examples
being
directly
adjacent
to
our
site,
including
150
151,
Chapel,
160,
chapel
and
200
into
a
one
Friel
Street
next
slide.
Please
moving
into
the
details
of
our
proposal.
Here
we
see
a
partial
site
plan
alongside
statistics
table
which
shows
our
permitted
allowances
versus
the
proposed
development.
D
D
Please
first
is
a
clarification
of
heights
of
the
major
components
of
the
building
with
the
podium
at
23
meters
in
height
the
tower
at
67
meters
in
height,
the
mechanical
Penthouse
extends
a
further
five
meters
with
the
elevator
overrun
extending
nine
meters
over
the
tower
height,
although
these
elements
are
exempt
from
the
height
restrictions
based
on
zoning
bylock
2008
250.
next
slide.
Please
next
is
a
highlight
of
building
setbacks
and
step
backs
of
both
the
podium
and
the
tower.
The
podium
is
set
back.
D
0.2
meters
from
beausoleil
drive
and
which
we'll
explain
in
the
next
few
slides
it's
set
back
1.5
meters
to
the
podium
from
from
Chapel
Street
and
three
meters
from
the
south
property
line.
The
tower
steps
back
further
1.5
meters
from
the
podium
along
beausoleil,
as
well
as
along
Chapel
from
the
podium
and
steps
back,
10.3
meters
on
the
west
side
and
no
step
back
on
the
south.
D
Next
slide,
please,
as
Aaron
detailed,
we
also
looked
at
separation
distances
between
Towers
next
slide.
Please.
This
highlights
in
a
slightly
more
graphic
way
that
we
are
well
within
or
well
outside
the
23
meter,
minimum
requirements
here
along
the
the
South
and
the
East
and
21
meters
to
the
existing
201
Friel
Street
next
slide.
D
D
This
masking
here
is
detailed
with
dimensions
and
the
program
definitions,
a
GFA
of
approximately
10
100
square
meters
and
a
26
story
Podium
with
a
20-story
tower
and
159
total
units.
20
percent
of
these
units
are
required
to
be
fully
accessible,
and
this
is
to
a
can
CSA
b651
standard,
which
is
above
and
beyond
that
required
by
the
Ontario
building
code.
Next
slide,
please
and
just
to
to
detail
this
one
item
in
the
podium.
D
We
are
placing
all
of
our
accessible
units,
and
this
is
a
requirement
for
Ottawa
Community
housing's
funding
model.
It's
the
reason
we
we
do
have
that
smaller
setback
along
the
north
as
we
do
need
to
provide
these
larger
units
within
the
building,
and
it's
the
only
way
that
that
we're
able
to
provide
the
20
of
accessible
units
in
an
in
an
efficient
and
cost-effective
way,
which
is
obviously
important
to
to
affordable
housing
developments,
to
use
that
funding
efficiently.
D
D
B
N
N
Lower
Town
East
is
a
large
majority
of
low-income
housing,
mostly
from
built
in
the
60s
and
70s.
A
lot
of
the
infrastructure
is
a
little
validate
and
seeing
some
new,
affordable
housing,
especially
with
a
lot
of
the
condo
building
being
built
on
radio.
It's
really
nice
to
see
being
not
only
that
if
this
building
introduces
a
lot
of
public
amenities,
including
public
indoor,
public
event,
space
which
was
lost
during
when
the
Jewish
Community
Center
at
one
150
151
Chapel
was
closed.
So
it's
really
nice
to
show
this
project
is
great.
N
It
would
greatly
benefit
the
community
yeah.
Sorry
yeah
that
I
just
just
thought,
I'd
make
my
opinion.
Manchester
with
this
project
would
be
a
greatly
benefit.
The
community
not
only
seeing
modern
u4
but
housing,
but
also
seeing
like
the
public
space
it
adds
and
as
well.
I
would
also
like
to
plot
the
the
people
involved
in
planning
this
building
and
using
the
underutilized
parking
space
at
200
201,
which
would
which
helps
increase
the
amount
of
housing
that's
available
on
site
by
moving
parking
to
already
available
facilities
and
yeah.
B
E
Good
morning
appreciate
your
patience
while
I
start
out
the
technology
here
good
morning,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
committee
this
morning.
My
name
is
Brian
Athie
I'm,
the
senior
vice
president
of
development
for
morgard
Corporation,
just
a
bit
of
background,
is,
is
heavily
invested
in
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
surrounding
environment.
We
have
a
portfolio
of
about
10,
000
rental
apartment
units
across
Canada.
E
E
E
If
approved,
it
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
our
future
ability
to
develop
on
our
site.
The
current
Chapel
Towers
were
built
in
1971.
they're,
Now,
52
years
old,
they're,
a
mix
of
Studios
one
bedrooms
and
two
bedrooms
total
of
370
units
about
a
hundred
of
those
are
furnished
Suites.
We
provide
rental
housing,
affordable
rental,
housing
in
the
community
for
students,
families
and
working
professionals.
E
The
specific
point
I'd
like
to
raise
about
the
Ottawa
Community
Housing
Development,
is
that
the
impact
that
our
future
development
will
be
significant.
This
is
a
the
Ottawa
Community
Housing
site
is
a
very
small
site.
It's
very
constrained.
The
actual
Development
Area
is
about
it's,
not
one
acre
it's
about
a
tenth
of
an
acre
when
you
look
at
the
plans
that
were
put
forward.
E
To
redevelop
our
site
at
some
point
in
the
future
and
Redevelopment
will
take
place,
aren't
the
the
Northerly
20
meters
of
our
site
is
effectively
sterilized.
If
this
goes
forward,
three
meters
of
the
23
is
on
the
Freel
site
and
20
meters
of
the
23
would
be
on
our
site,
so
we
would
be
significantly
constrained
in
the
future
if
this
proposal
is
approved.
E
B
B
K
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
on
this
project.
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
this
is
going
to
bring
much
affordable
housing
to
a
community
that
needs
it.
I
did
note
in
the
comments
that
the
local
counselor
was
concerned
about
security
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
those
issues
were
addressed.
As
far
as
the
city
is
concerned,.
M
Certainly
we're
still
looking
at
those
concerns
through
the
site
plan
Control
process,
in
particular
in
the
development
of
the
the
privately
owned,
publicly
accessible
space.
So
we
have
had
discussions
with
Ottawa
Community
Housing
about
implementing
things
like
security
cameras
and
lighting
that
can
ensure
that
safety
is
presumed
across
the
site,
but
it's
not
part
of
the
consideration
of
the
zoning
amendment
in
terms
of
the
scale
or
massing
of
the
building.
That's
before
us
today,
no.
K
B
B
M
In
in
terms
of
well
generally,
our
policies
do
like
to
see
a
23
meter,
separation
between
high-rise
towers,
and
so
not
too
paraphrase
what
Mr
atha
is
saying,
but
I
think
his
his
assumption
is
that
it
would
limit
their
ability
to
place
a
high-rise
Tower
in
that
particular
area
of
the
site,
whereas
staff's
position
is
that
there's
multiple
other
areas
on
on
that
large
development
site
that
would
accommodate
a
high-rise
development
proposal
up
to
the
maximum
gross
floor
area.
That's
anticipated
in
the
official
plan.
B
B
B
B
B
All
right,
if
I'm,
not
wrong,
Kelly.
The
next
item
is
1184
1188
and
1196.
Cummings
Avenue,
amazing
Steve
is
here
to
make
a
presentation.
Do
members
want
the
presentation
on
this
one
so
I'll
be
giving
the
the
applicant
an
opportunity
to
make
a
presentation
as
well,
and
we
have
no
delegation?
Oh
sorry,
we
have
one
delegation.
O
O
The
subject
property
is
located
on
the
west
side
of
Cummings
Avenue,
just
north
of
in
it
or
of
Ogilvie
Road.
It
is
within
the
Silver
Oak
community
at
the
site
is
approximately
of
3
500
square
meters
in
size,
with
75
meters
of
Frontage
on
Cummings
Avenue
and
a
lot
depth
of
around
45
meters.
Deep,
the
surrounding
lands
to
the
North
and
the
West
are
predominantly
residential.
O
The
here
are
a
couple
of
the
street
views
of
the
site
as
you're
looking
South
on
Cummings
Ave,
it's
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
property.
There
are
three
existing
residential
houses
on
the
property
and
to
the
South.
If
you
see
looking
North
oncomings,
you
can
see
the
gas
station
and
car
wash
that's
right
at
the
corner.
O
O
The
official
plan
designation
has
the
property
designated
as
neighborhood
with
involving
neighborhood
overlay.
This
is
in
the
inner
urban
transect
schedule.
B2
The
Plan
Focus
is
development
in
the
universe,
in
our
Urban
transacts
to
Hubs
and
along
corridors.
Ogilvie
is
a
corridor
Main
Street,
just
south
of
the
site.
Section
4.1.4.2
of
the
plan
also
allows
for
reductions
in
required
parking.
As
long
as
you
are
within
800
meters
of
walking
distance
to
a
rapid
transit
station,
the
site
is
located
within
700
meters
of
the
cerealville
station.
O
O
It
shows
that
the
site
is
in
area
D,
which
permits
a
six-story
buildings
along
with
a
minimum
of
180
units
per
hectare.
This
is
to
show
that
it
is
a
transitional
site
from
the
30-story
property
across
the
street
that
so
this
becomes
a
transition
between
those
low-rise
Condominiums
and
the
higher
future
development
to
the
to
the
east
next
side.
Please.
O
This
site
is
also
within
the
transit
oriented
development
plan
or
the
Tod.
It
also
shows
this
as
a
transition
site
between
the
30-story
buildings
and
the
areas
that
are
existing
and
not
to
be
redeveloped,
so
it
also
shows
it
as
a
TD
one
zone
proposed
and
that
consists
of
or
allows
for
up
to
six
stories
in
that
area.
O
Here's
the
concept
plan
of
this
site:
it
is
a
six-story
Residential
Building,
with
a
kind
of
an
L-shaped
formation,
with
the
massing
of
the
building
pressed
up
towards
Cummings
Avenue
and
onto
Windon
Drive,
leaving
some
space
in
the
rear
of
the
property
for
some
parking
amenity
and
allow
for
the
ramp
to
go
down
into
the
to
the
base
of
the
building.
The
building
has
proposed
to
be
six
stories
on,
which
is
about
18.5
meters.
In
height.
O
There
is
a
mechanical,
a
permitted
mechanical
floor
on
top
they
are
proposing
34
or
sorry
37
residents
parking
spaces.
That
is
a
reduction
from
the
88
that
is
required
under
the
standard
conditions
of
the
or
provisions
of
the
bylaw,
and
they
are
providing
the
full
19
visitor
parking
spaces
that
are
required
under
the
bylaw
next
slide.
O
O
Sorry
there's
this
is
a
very
busy
slide
and
it
goes
over
all
the
provisions
that
are
normally
allowed
in
the
td1
zone,
which
we're
contemplating
on
rezoning
this
to
it,
meets
all
the
qualifications
of
or
all
the
provisions
of,
the
TD
Zone
saving,
except
for
the
parking
for
the
residents.
They're.
Looking
to
reduce
the
parking
from
a
0.5
per
unit
down
to
about
a
0.19,
and
this
is
supported
by
the
fact
that
it
is
within
walking
distance
of
the
rapid
transit
station.
O
O
It's
a
mid-rise
building
that
will
contribute
to
housing
diversity
in
the
area
it
meets
The,
Heights
and
the
minimum
densities
required
in
secondary
plans.
It
implements
the
Tod
plan,
underground
parking
enhances,
the
residential
makes
more
room
for
amenity
space
on
the
on
the
surface,
and
and
they
are
we're
working
with
them
through
the
site
plan
to
ensure
that
the
public
realm
is
protected
and
that
there
are
Street
trees
on
the
site
is
adequately
serviced
and
the
parking
reduction
coupled
with
the
increase
bicycle
parking
is
supported
as
a
sustainable
mode
of
travel.
B
O
B
O
B
We're
going
to
move
on
to
the
applicants
led
by
Tim
bead
I'll,
just
make
a
quick
note
to
the
applicants
and
I
know.
I've
said
this
a
couple
of
times
this
term
of
counsel
you're,
probably
going
to
run
out
of
time.
If
you
make
the
same
presentation
that
staff
made
so
I
would
suggest.
Focusing
on
those
points
that
you
need
to
make
to
the
to
the
committee.
P
Yes,
thank
you
Mr
chair
committee,
thanks
I,
because
I
have
a
presentation,
but
I
I
agree
there.
We
there'd
be
a
lot
of
reiteration
so
I'm
happy
to
just
skip
to
the
last
two
slides
I
think
would
be
appropriate
and
speak
to
some
of
I
guess
the
last
three
slides.
So,
as
you
know,
this
is
a
a
site
within
very
close
proximity
to
to
Transit
and
therefore
is
within
the
to
plans,
as
well
as
the
secondary
plans
with
which
support
increased
intensification
and
height
on
on
the
lands.
P
I've
included
this
site
just
to
show
that
we
are
currently
zoned
for
the
residential
third
density
Zone
with
some
exceptions.
But
as
Steve
mentioned
in
this
presentation,
the
application
is
due
reason:
the
lands
to
the
to
the
td1
zone
as
it's
directed
within
the
secondary
planetary
Transit
oriented
development
plan.
But
we
can
see
here
that
further
supporting
this
application
is
the
the
existing
zoning
framework
on
the
lands
which
allow
Heights
up
to
22
stories.
P
The
next
slide,
please,
there's
been
some
discussion
about
the
reduced
parking
on
the
site
and,
as
we
can
see
here,
the
site
is
within
area
X
currently,
which
would
request
or
require
a
0.5
parking
rate
per
residential
unit.
But
we
are
also
in
very
close
proximity
to
the
area
Z
and
areas
that
is
meant
to
be
a
Transit
supportive
area
for
the
parking
requirements
within
the
city
of
Ottawa,
which
requires
zero
parking
on
site.
We're
within
a
few
hundred
meters
of
that
designation.
O
P
I
think
just
to
kind
of
reiterate
the
proposed
zoning
bylaw
amendment
to
transition
to
the
td1
zone
is
supported
and
facilitated
by
the
official
plan,
the
Todo
plan
and
the
East
lines
one
and
three
station
secondary
plan.
So
it
helps
to
establish
that
scale.
That's
been
anticipated
by
the
city
and
it's
over
in,
as
well
as
the
secondary
plan
for
the
minor
quarter
designation
to
facilitate
that
that
gentle
density,
it's
I,
think
sometimes
referred
to
as
the
missing
middle
and
it's
compatible
in
scale
and
size
with
the
existing
and
plan
function
of
the
site.
K
P
P
In
an
underground
parking
garage
and
I
think
we're
looking
for
those
you
know
immediately
accessible.
You
know
the
front
door
near
the
public
right-of-way
type
spaces,
which
will
be
determined
as
we
also
work
through
tree
planting
and
there's
a
right-of-way
taking
that
will
be
required
for
the
site.
So
there
are
some
some
technical
issues
that
we're
continuing
to
work
through
with
saf
on
the
site
plan,
but
a
one-to-one
bicycle
parking
ratio
is
an
important
aspect
of
you
know
the
full
Suite
of
TDM
measures
that
are.
K
P
P
K
R
Great
thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
Tim
from
one
time
to
another.
I
know:
you've
been
working
hard
on
this
proposal,
making
many
modifications
and
just
up
the
road
actually
at
1068
they're
completing
300
units
on
a
piece
of
property
that
was
kind
of
industrial
was
kind
of
weird
sandblasty
stuff
that
stripper
road
is
is
always
it's
always
going
to
be
upgraded
to
Something
in
the
future
as
far
as
housing.
It's
also
six
stories.
Did
you
base
a
lot
of
your
principles
on
that
as
well?
P
P
Know
important
considerations
in
terms
of
determining
a
height
massive
building
are
obviously
the
overarching
policy
and
Regulatory
framework,
which
is
quite
supportive
of
the
site
in
terms
of
the
six
stories
in
the
secondary
plan,
as
well
as
through
the
official
plan,
but
also
importantly,
and
I.
I
kind
of
referenced
to
it
earlier,
but
I
could
elaborate,
is
the
existing
zoning,
so
the
azerite
zoning
and
existing
built
form
on
the
site
includes
permissions
for
or
existing
buildings
of
this.
P
This
similar
typology
that
six
story
missing
metal
with
adequate
transitions
to
maybe
some
of
those
lower
rise
communities
generally
in
the
rear
of
the
properties,
especially
when
fronting
a
street
light
coming.
So
it's
important
obviously
to
ensure
that
the
building
fits
fits
now
and
also
with
the
with
the
future
planned
context
of
a
site,
especially
in
close
proximity
to
to
Transit,
which
can
can
kind.
B
Thank
you,
counselor
thanks,
counselor
Tierney
Tim.
If
committee
were
to
recommend
refusal
of
this
application,
that
we
didn't
consider
that
reducing
the
number
of
parking
spots
was
appropriate.
What
are
some
of
the
design
changes
you
could
make
to
try
to
accommodate
that?
What
would
be
the
outcomes.
P
I
think
that
there
are,
you
know,
there's
a
design
consideration
as
well.
As
a
you
know,
feasibility
consideration
in
terms
of
units
and
ensuring
that
there's
that
that
high
density,
intensification
and
close,
the
proximity
to
the
the
city's
LRT,
as
well
as
just
a
complete
Community,
with
a
number
of
amenities
and
services
but
I
suppose,
if,
if
necessary,
considerations
for
a
different
unit
layout
unit
count
could
reduce
that
it's
difficult
to
consider.
Providing.
B
Yeah
I
tend
to
agree
and
I
mean,
logically
speaking,
you
could
on
the
same
footprint.
If
you
wanted
to
adhere
to
the
six
stories,
you
could
just
significantly
reduce
the
number
of
units
in
here
but
you're,
sacrificing
units
which
we
desperately
need
during
a
housing
crisis
or
parking
virtually
across
the
street
from
an
area
in
which
parking
is
not
even
required
by
zoning.
So
I
think
that
would
be
a
pretty
drastic
outcome.
B
Q
I
am
thanks
for
having
me
so
I
I
appreciate
all
the
bylaws
that
exist
that
allows
this
development
but
I'm
going
to
read
something,
hopefully
within
five
minutes,
so
here
I
go
and
I
apologize.
If
the
things
I'm
saying
is
inappropriate
according
to
procedures,
the
bylaw
zoning
Amendment
and
the
site
plan
control
should
not
be
approved
for
the
site
to
rezone
from
a
three
R3
to
a
td1.
For
the
following
reasons.
Q
They're
reported
to
the
planning
committee
regarding
the
application
does
not
completely
address
or
raise
the
following
matters
that
support
reasons,
possibly
not
to
possibly
reasons
not
to
approve
such
a
zoning.
Bylaw
Amendment
the
following
provides
some
reasons:
the
site,
size
and
proximity
to
a
to
the
abutting
units
that
are
one
to
two
stories,
make
the
site
inappropriate
because
of
the
size,
height
and
position
relative
to
the
surrounding
context
does
not
allow
for
appropriate
transition
and
harmonious
integration
for
a
six-story
building.
Q
Q
My
next
Point,
even
though
the
secondary
plan
for
the
area
designates
The
Proposal
site
as
planned
for
td1
when
considering
this
in
the
context
of
the
area
and
readings.
The
specific
planning
considerations
in
the
Tod
planning
documents
which
specifies
that
proposed
development
should
be
reviewed
in
Planet.
Q
The
area
south
of
Ogilvy
Ogilvy
is
suitable
for
TD
zoning
as
there's
low
dense.
There
is
no
low
density,
stable
housing
requiring
harmonious
transitions,
TD
zoning
north
of
Ogilvy,
where
the
site
is,
is
possibly
not
the
best
fit
and
should
be
Amendment
amended
on
the
secondary
plan.
After
some
consideration
the
proposed
design.
My
next
point,
then
the
proposed
design
only
allows
for
one
driveway
for
the
site,
which
is
inadequate
to
allow
proper
traffic
to
service
the
density
of
188
units
sub
point.
Q
This
causes
congestion,
congested
access
to
the
site
for
the
high
likelihood
of
pickups
drop-offs
for
those
without
cars
or
them
residents
using
friends,
rightfair
services
for
commuting,
paratrends,
para
para
transportation
to
and
from
appointments
for
our
Asian
community
and
delivery
trucks
of
online
purchases.
That's
now
common.
Q
Q
There
are
other
options
that
allow
Redevelopment
of
the
proposed
sidecut
would
meet
all
relevant
policies
and
provide
adequate
entry
exit,
harmonious
transitions,
fit
and
density
for
the
size
of
the
Lots,
such
as
rezoning
to
R5
density,
which
matches
the
surrounding
context
and
provides
densities
that
support
Transit,
use,
building
multiple
low
right.
Another.
Q
B
B
Your
assertion
is
that
while
the
td1
zoning
may
be
contemplated
by
the
secondary
plan,
there
is
still
a
requirement
that
it
be
appropriately
transitioned
to
the
abutting
low-rise
neighborhoods.
You
don't
feel
it
is,
and
thus
this
committee
should
reject
the
the
the
recommendation
from
staff.
Is
that
roughly
accurate?
Yes,
okay,
any
other
questions,
none!
Okay!
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
today.
B
O
Foreign
actually,
a
secondary
plan
sees
this
as
a
transitional
space
rather
than
the
transition
from
this
site.
The
Tod
or
the
TD.
The
one
zone
actually
has
Provisions
for
setbacks
and
step
Downs
to
the
properties
at
the
rear,
so
that
the
six
stories
in
massing
is
up
close
to
Cummings,
but
as
you're
going
down
the
wing
on
the
north
side
of
the
property,
it
steps
down
to
I
believe
it's
15
meters
at
the
so
down
to
the
four-story
level,
which
is
more
conducive
to
what
is
going
on
behind
it.
B
B
Moving
on
does
anyone
take
like
a
five
minute
break.
We've
got
a
few
items
left
or
yeah.
We've
only
got
the
information
the
ipd
carry
through.
Let's
do
it.
Let's
do
it
all
right.
So
the
the
final
substantive
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
status
update
on
the
new
zoning
bylaw.
Thank
you
very
much
committee
for
your
main
ability
to
lifting
that
for
discussion.
B
G
G
G
G
These
new
permissions
support
the
objectives
of
the
city's
Municipal
housing
pledge
the
housing
accelerator
fund,
the
new
official
plan
and
the
directions
that
we
will
be
taking
the
new
zoning
bylaw
to
implement
the
official
plan
in
response
to
Bill.
23
staff
circulated
a
comprehensive
package
of
zoning
amendments
in
March
of
this
year
to
a
better
align
the
provisions
of
the
zoning
bylaw
with
the
intent
of
Bill
23
and
the
official
plan.
G
So
those
a
comprehensive
package
of
zoning
amendments
was
distributed
and
to
the
public
and
the
following
following
consultations.
Community
representatives
in
the
development
industry
of
the
package
of
amendments
was
scaled
back,
so
the
original
package
was
very
comprehensive
and
we
went
for
the
full
range
of
amendments
that
could
be
undertaken
in
response
to
Bill
23
to
implement
the
intent
of
the
official
plan
better
and
more
effectively,
rather
than
just
making
the
Bare
Bones
changes
to
the
secondary
dwelling
unit
provisions
and
the
Coach
House
Provisions.
G
So
the
that
we
included
those
there
was
a
broad
range
of
amendments
and
they
went,
they
were
far-reaching.
We
were
proposing
to
extend
the
application
of
the
in
all
of
the
infill
initiatives
broadly
across
the
city,
and
the
point
of
that
was
really
to
address
the
you
know:
minimum
standards
in
terms
of
design
and
functionality
for
what
are
now
higher
permissions
for
Development
Across,
the
city.
G
So
we
consulted
with
the
development
industry
and
Community
associations
and
wound
up
scoping
back
the
the
that
comprehensive
package
to
focus
on
a
three
initiatives.
So
the
first
bucket
is
are
the
modifications
supervisions
for
secondary
dwelling
units
and
Coach
houses,
which
everyone
agreed
upon
that
agreed
that
these
are
what
are
needed
to
eliminate
unnecessary
barriers
in
the
bylaw.
G
The
second
bucket
was
harmonization
of
certain
R3
R4
and
R5
subzone
Provisions
for
detached
duplex
and
Triplex
dwellings,
where
the
development
standards
are
different
for
those
dwelling
types.
So
this
was
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
each
of
these
dwelling
types
permit
a
total
of
three
units.
So
it
no
longer
makes
sense
to
have
a
higher
lot
width
and
lot
width
area
requirement
for
three
units
in
a
Triplex.
Then
for
three
units
in
a
detached.
Well
and
then.
G
So,
and
this
was
specifically
to
allow
us
to
achieve
room
for
a
tree,
and
this
isn't
keeping
with
directions
in
the
official
plan
regarding
healthy
neighborhoods
and
the
urban
heat
island
effect,
and
basically
just
the
quality
of
the
environment
of
neighborhoods
and
try
and
support
livable
neighborhoods
in
the
future.
And
the
amendment
is
seen
as
a
response
to
a
form
of
development
that
we're
currently
seeing
across
the
city.
G
That's
becoming
more
common,
specifically
associated
with,
for
example,
with
long
semis,
where
the
rear
yard
of
of
the
of
the
property
is
completely
paved
and
used
for
parking.
And
we
heard
in
our
consultations
with
the
community
associations
that
they
were
finding
this
to
be
a
harsh
form
of
development
that
it
didn't
allow
for
trees
and
that
they
would
prefer
that
something
was
done
about
it.
G
So
it
was
determined
that
first,
their
consultations
were
needed.
I
should
have
mentioned
also
that
Community
associations
were
not
really
generally
in
favor
of
the
harmonization,
so
some
Community
Association
Representatives,
you
know
continued
to
favor.
They
liked
the
higher
standards
for
certain
for
Triplex
buildings,
for
example,
and
they
wanted
those
to
remain
so,
since
we
weren't
really
able
to
get
very
far
in
our
consultations.
Despite
having
scoped
back
the
the
Amendments
considerably,
we
are
proposing
further
consultations.
G
We
just
think
that
further
consultations
are
needed
and
intend
to
pursue
pursue
those
this
summer,
I
should
mention
that
bill
23
also
modified
requirements
for
growth
related
charges
and
that
we
need
to
better
understand
those
implications.
So
additional
dwelling
units
are
not
subject
to
development
charges
in
cash
and
lieu
of
Parkland
payments,
and
we
are
working
with
staff
and
finance
and
staff
working
with
the
development
charges
biology
just
to
better
understand
what
sort
of
reductions
we're
going
to
see
in
revenues
as
a
result
of
that
next
slide,
please.
G
Staff
also
want
to
continue
to
modify,
monitor
the
form
of
development
that
we're
seeing
with
those
building
permits
that
are
being
issued
under
Bill
23
for
three
units
in
a
a
single,
a
semi
or
a
detached,
or
rather
a
townhouse
dwelling.
Just
to
see
the
type
of
development
that
we're
seeing
are
we
seeing
rear
yards
being
paved
in
many
cases
and
evaluate
what
types
of
Provisions
are
going
to
be
needed
and
build
that
into
our
the
consultations
as
we're
going
next
slide?
Please.
G
Implementing
zoning
Provisions
to
achieve
those
minimum
distance
densities
in
the
official
plans
is
a
priority
identified
in
the
municipal
housing
pledge
and
the
housing
accelerator
fund.
Submission
staff
developed
a
method
for
evaluating
the
density
potential
offered
by
current
zoning
that
applies
in
pmtsas,
or
that
zoning
can't
deliver
the
density
specified
in
table
3
of
the
official
plan.
G
Zoning
changes
will
be
proposed
to
the
amended
to
ensure
the
minimum
densities
can
be
achieved,
and
so
what
I
want
to
highlight
here
is
that
that
that
protected
major
transit
station
area
report,
which
will
be
coming
to
committee
before
November
4th
of
this
year,
is
not
going
to
implement
the
full
intent
of
the
policies
for
hubs.
So
we're
not
going
to
be
applying
permissions
for
40
stories
in
protected
major
transit
station
areas.
That
is
not
what
the
planning
Act
is
telling
us.
G
The
city
has
hired
Consultants
to
complete
the
analysis
of
the
the
pmts
areas
in
terms
of
the
ability
of
the
current
zoning
to
achieve
those
densities.
In
the
official
plan,
some
of
the
consultant
costs
will
be
submitted
for
a
reimbursement
to
the
province
through
the
streamlined
development
approval
fund.
G
Feedback
received
will
be
considered
in
developing
the
first
draft
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw,
with
the
summary
report
published
prior
to
the
release
of
the
first
draft
in
March
next
slide,
please
so
Staffing
and
Project
funding
implications
in
terms
of
Staffing
for
the
new
zoning
bylaw
project.
The
zoning
unit
has
been
at
half
of
the
projected
complement
of
Staff
needed
to
complete
the
bylaw
for
the
duration
of
the
ballot
on
the
for
the
duration
of
the
work
on
the
bylaw
to
date.
G
This
is
a
tight
labor
market
for
planners
and
the
hiring
both
internal
and
external
competitions
have
not
been
successful
in
hiring
or
attracting
new
staff
for
the
team.
Additional
work
from
Bill
23,
the
housing
accelerator
fund,
the
legislative
review
for
Bill
109,
regular
maintenance
to
the
zoning
bylaw
have
also
strained
staff
capacity
for
work
on
the
new
zone.
Ambala,
for
example,
amendments
needed
for
renewable
energy
generation
facilities,
both
at
this
planning
committee
and
later
in
the
year,
are
required
office
to
residential
conversions.
G
Our
staff
have
been
involved
in
the
zoning
amendments
needed
for
that
report,
which
is
upcoming,
affordable
housing,
related
amendments
in
relation
to
City,
owned
properties
that
will
need
to
be
rezoned
to
maximize
their
benefit
and
use
for
affordable
housing
in
the
future.
Well,
coming
forward
separately
from
the
new
zoning
bylaw
work,
my
team
has
also
been
working
on
inclusionary
zoning.
The
housing
accelerator
fund
application-
that
was
a
member
of
the
zoning
unit
who
worked
on
that
that
application,
who
is
a
lead
for
that
application?
G
The
work
that's
undertaken,
the
Amendments
required
under
the
planning
act
for
protected
major
transit
station
areas,
which
must
occur
before
November
4th.
The
regular
Omnibus
zoning
amendments
that
we
do
undertake
to
correct
areas:
the
bill,
23
amendments
that
Robert
has
been
working
on
and
work
that
staff
have
been
contributing
to
for
storm
water
management
for
the
infrastructure,
master
plan,
and
then
reports
such
as
for
short-term
rentals
and
updates
the
floodplain
mapping
in
the
zoning
bylaw.
All
of
these
are
reports
that
my
team
is
responsible
for
in
addition
to
the
new
zoning
bylaw.
G
G
Consultants
have
been
hired
to
assist
with
the
first
draft
of
the
bylaw,
including
for
Provisions
for
hubs:
corridors
protected,
major
transit
station
areas,
Urban
industrial
zones,
rural
industrial
zones,
the
mineral
aggregate
overlay
which
will
apply
in
the
rural
area
and
is
needed
in
response
to
policy
changes
in
the
new
official
plan,
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
and
the
neighborhood
zones.
So
we
have
hired
Consultants
to
work
with
us
on
all
of
these
packages
for
the
new
zoning
bylaw
and
given
that
we
are
hiring
we've
hired
Consultants
to
help
us
with
the
neighbors
neighborhood
zones.
G
G
So
in
terms
of
consultations
and
next
steps,
we
have
released
seven
discussion
papers
earlier
this
year
and
we've
been
receiving
comments
on
on
those.
So
public
feedbacks
on
the
surveys.
The
surveys
will
be
open
until
the
end
of
July
when
we
release
the
discussion
paper
for
neighborhood,
Form
and
Function,
when
we
once
that's
released,
we'll
be
receiving
comments
on
that
discussion
paper
until
the
end
of
2023
and
as
we've
heard
it
report
will
be
published
in
early
September,
summarizing
initial
responses
to
the
discussion
papers
and
feedback
on
the
Form
and
Function
paper.
G
And
the
point
of
that
is
to
get
a
diverse
comments
from
a
wide
range
of
groups
which
is
really
needed
to
to
ensure
that
we
do
effective
public
consultation.
We
want
to
hear
from
all
people
and
get
a
variety
of
viewpoints.
A
final,
as
we
heard
at
report
will
be
published
in
q1
of
2024
summarizing
feedback
from
the
consultation
activities
and
to
inform
and,
of
course,
how
it's
going
to
informed
the
first
draft
of
the
zoning
bylaw.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
a
good
comprehensive
overview
and
a
good
update
in
a
in
a
timely
way
before
we
break
for
summer.
So
my
understanding
is
that
the
Bill
23
amendments
Bill
23,
related
amendments.
It
would
be
helpful
for
you
to
have
some
direction
from
Council
with
respect
to
bringing
that
forward
and
I
believe
counselor
kits
has
a
motion
to
that
effect.
B
H
Therefore,
be
it
resolve
that,
with
respect
to
the
ipd
council
approved
the
following
direct
staff
to
return
to
council
no
later
than
September
2023,
with
options
to
amend
the
zoning
bylaw
in
response
to
Bill
23,
a
direct
staff
to
consult
with
industry
and
members
of
the
community
prior
to
returning
to
committee
and
two
direct,
the
staff
return
to
Council
in
Q4
2023,
with
proposed
amendments
to
the
zoning
bylaw.
Pursuant
to
recommendation.
One.
K
G
A
yes
staff
have
been
in
touch
with
planners
in
city
of
Toronto
to
to
review
their
Multiplex
provisions
and
discuss
the
challenges,
and
so
on
that
that
they
faced
in
implementing
those
provisions,
and
we
will
be
trying
to
keep
up.
We
do
try
to
keep
up
to
date
with
other
municipalities
and
what
they're
doing
foreign.
K
Yeah,
no
I
I
just
assume
that
we
all
it's
like
Reinventing
the
wheel.
If
we,
if
we
all,
have
the
same
issues
that
we're
working
with
that,
we
can
learn
from
each
other.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
and
I
realize
it's
tough
to
get
new
planners
I'm,
also
wondering
about
other
occupations
when
you're
talking
about
we
need
more
planners.
Do
we
not
need
more
Engineers
etc
for
like
storm
water
except
and
the
other
issues?
Is
that
also
an
issue.
G
F
Yes,
certainly
through
the
recent
Bill
109
Staffing
complement
that
was
approved
through
Council,
there
were
a
number
of
planners
added,
but
also
civil
engineering
staff,
legal
staff,
everyone
that
supports
the
planning
process.
So
it's
it's
not
just
planners.
It's
it's
a
whole
Suite
of
folks
that
we've,
you
know
we're
adding
through
that
through
that
piece.
K
Yes,
yes,
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
really
sticking
to
our
commitment
and
the
official
plan
of
40
percent
tree
canopy.
It
seems
to
like
there's
an
emphasis
on
the
rear
yard.
But
but
when
I
look
at
the
diagrams
Etc,
it's
the
front
yard
is
important
too.
If
it's,
if
it's
possible,
providing
shade
to
streets
Etc.
G
So,
typically
in
the
zoning
bylaw
there
is
a
general
prohibition
on
front
yard
parking.
So
we
don't
I
mean
there
are
driveways
permitted
and
in
most
zones,
but
we
there
is
generally.
There
are
limitations
on
the
width
of
driveways
and
front
yards,
and
so
then
that's
really
to
leave
space
for
for
Trees
and
Landscaping.
There
are
currently
no
requirements
to
work
for
the
rear
yard
landscaping
in
most
zones,
the
Westborough
Provisions
do
have
requirements
for
rear
yard
landscaping.
So
that's
the
issue.
There's
a
gap
right
now,
there's
no
minimum
Landscaping
requirement
in
most
zones.
Okay,.
G
S
Thank
you,
so
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
your
comment,
Carol,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
when
you
said
that
you
were
working
to
staff
up
some
of
these
rules,
but
the
the
Staffing
effort
was
not
successful
and
you
know
in
the
context
of
us.
You
know
just
having
approved,
as
you
say
so
many
new
ftes
I
want
to
know.
Is
there
something
that
the
that
committee
and
Council
should
understand
that
is
creating?
S
G
So
I
think
that
may
be
an
issue
and
I
think
in
terms
of
from
my
project,
and
then
there
is
just
my
understanding,
a
shortage
of
planners
right
now
in
Ontario
for
us
to
draw
from,
and
there
are
other
municipalities
who
are
also
trying
to
hire.
You
know
in
response
to
Bill
109
I
know
that
the
city
of
Toronto
is
trying
to
hire
150
new
staff
I'm
assuming
a
combination
of
planners
and
engineers,
and
so
we
are
competing
with
all
other
municipalities
who
have
staffing
needs.
So
that's
those
are
the
comments.
J
F
We
are
looking
at
excuse
the
109
piece
using
different
staff
to
we
had
a
good
discussion
on
Bill
109
in
terms
of
you
know,
using
planning,
technicians
and
and
support
staff
to
help
with
front
end
of
the
process
more
of
a
team-based
approach.
So
we're
looking
at
creative
ways
of
building
those
Staffing
gaps.
But
the
reality
is
it's.
It's
a
very
tight
Market.
S
Okay,
thank
you
for
for
that,
and
then
I
was
also
going
to
offer.
You
know
a
suggestion
when
you
are
considering
those
in-person
open
houses
on
the
on
the
discussion
papers
that
you
might
consider
hosting
them
in
some
of
the
wards
who
have
traditionally
experienced
R1
zoning,
because
I
think
that
you
know
the
the
changes
I
was
saying
to
chair
leaper
on
the
phone
last
night.
I
said
you
know
we
we
mentioned.
S
S
Is
everyone
cool
with
R1
zoning,
disappearing
and
and
chair
leaper
said
no
I
think
that
maybe
people
just
aren't
aware
of
what
the
implications
of
that
are
so
I
would
welcome
an
in-person
open
house
in
college
Ward,
most
certainly
so
that
those
residents
who
you
know
have
had
those
those
zoning
protections
or
protections.
That's
not
the
right
word.
Those
zoning
boundaries
will
Now
understand
what
changes
and
what
opportunities
might
come
through.
B
Foreign,
thank
you
very
much.
Councilor
Johnson.
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
staff
I'll,
just
post
one
of
my
own,
just
with
respect
to
clarification,
is
in
order
to
implement
the
spirit
letter
Bill
23
there
are.
It
sounds
like
three
sort
of
major
plots
of
changes
that
would
need
to
be
made.
The
first
of
them
is
to
eliminate
a
Prohibition
against
accessory
units
being
more
than
40
percent
of
the
principal
dwelling
unit,
and
it
sounds
like
all
parties
are
agreed
to
that.
B
The
second
and
probably
more
contentious
which
I
guess
we'll
need
to
deal
with
in
the
fall,
is
whether
or
not
we're
protecting
space
in
the
rear
yards
for
Green
Space.
If
we
just
harmonize
everything
to
the
single
detached
housing
performance
standards,
there's
no
guarantee
that
we're
going
to
get
any
green
space
in
the
rear
yard.
It
sounds
like
Builders
are
Keen
to
move
ahead
without
protecting
rear
yards
communities,
on
the
other
hand,
are
Keen
to
protect
those
rear
yards
with
respect
to
Green
Space.
B
So
that's
another
pot
and
then
the
final
part
is
with
respect
to
the
performance
standards.
What
is
the
size
lot
on?
Which
a
structure
can
be
built
the
minimum
size
lot?
What
are
this
minimum
setbacks
from
the
property
line
that
determine
what
can
be
built
on
that
lot
and
it
sounds
like
we
again
have
two
different
perspectives.
The
builders
are
Keen
to
harmonize
the
performance
standards
for
singles
for
semis,
for
triplexes
down
to
the
most
permissive
performance
standards,
where
some
communities
are
keen
on
harmonizing
around
the
most
restrictive
performance
standards.
B
So
that
sounds
like
something
that
we'll
need
to
sort
out
politically
as
a
council.
So
if
the
motion
that's
being
brought
by
counselor
kits,
passes
you're
going
to
come
to
us
in
September,
hopefully
sooner
in
September,
rather
than
later,
with
a
list
of
options
for
sorting
three
loads,
the
the
directions
in
which
you'd
like
to
go
a
consultation
plan,
and
we
can
have
that
battle
as
a
body
of
politicians
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
and
determine
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
Bill
23..
Is
that
roughly
accurate.
B
So
I'll
just
fire
my
shot
across
the
bow
today,
which
is
I
I'm,
not
willing
to
do
any
kinds
of
changes.
Beyond
I'm
willing
to
wait
until
we
do
the
full,
comprehensive
zoning
bylaw
review.
Unless
we
have
those
protections
for
the
rear
yard,
I
don't
mind
doing
things
that
allow
for
greater
intensification
harmonizing
around
more
permissive
performance
standards,
we're
moving
to
40,
but
we
have
to
protect
those
those
rear
yards
in
R4
in
Westboro
infill.
