A
Okay,
welcome
everyone
we
have
forum
and
before
we
get
going
on
the
agenda,
I
just
wanted
to
to
let
you
know
a
couple
things
number
one.
This
is
like
breaking
news.
John
buck
has
been
confirmed
in
his
position
as
chief
building
officer.
So
congratulations,
john.
What
a
big
year
I
mean
it's
been
for
our
our
people
in
pied,
and
certainly
those
have
in
building
services,
have
been
superstars
in
bringing
all
of
their
successes.
A
A
I
think
we
could
maybe
have
a
contest
to
come
up
with
something
a
bit
more
exciting
and
worthy
of
this
amazing
program.
So
let
me
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
how
a
cpp
system
works
and
you'll
start
to
see
why
this
is
so
exciting.
Essentially
within
a
defined
area
like
the
canada
north
tech
park,
the
cpc
a
cpp
system
involves
enacting
a
bylaw
that
would
replace
any
secondary
plans,
community
design
plans
and
even
a
zoning
bylaw.
A
A
Development
would
only
require
a
single
application,
no
more
separate
applications
for
official
plan
zoning
or
site
plan
approval
would
be
delegated
to
staff
on
a
shortened
45
day
timeline.
That's
a
huge
change
from
how
we
do
things
now
now.
Obviously,
this
shift
cannot
happen
without
first
weighing
a
lot
of
groundwork.
A
cpp
system
can
only
succeed
if
we
involve
stakeholders
early
on
and
build
consensus
to
establish
that
shared
vision.
That's
not
the
kind
of
work
that
happens
overnight,
which
is
why
canada
north
is
perfect
for
this
pilot.
A
The
canada
north
business
association
has
already
been
crafting
a
design
concept
for
the
canada
north
tech
park.
That
will
see
it
transformed
from
a
1970s
area
era
business
park
to
one
that
rivals
the
best
tech
parks
in
the
world.
Canada
north
is
the
biggest
tech
park
in
canada
and
because
it
is
so
important
to
ottawa's
economy,
there
is
a
plan
to
designate
it
as
a
special
economic
district
in
the
new
official
plan.
A
That's
why
so
much
work
has
already
gone
into
creating
a
common
vision
for
the
park,
and
it's
why
this
is
such
a
perfect
opportunity
to
test
the
cpp
system.
Hopefully,
a
successful
pilot
will
show
us
how
we
might
begin
to
roll
this
approach
out
across
communities
across
ottawa.
I
know
the
counselor
says
it's
going
to
be
very
involved
in
the
coming
years.
A
The
city
will
work
with
stakeholders
using
the
park's
concept
plan
to
create
the
cpp
bylaw
for
the
area
that
bylaw
would
only
be
put
in
place
after
council
adopts
the
new
official
plan
and
it's
approved
by
the
province,
so
we're
still
a
couple
of
years
away.
In
the
meantime,
developers
can
continue
to
submit
applications
using
the
current
process
and
we
can
continue
to
build
excitement
for
canada,
north
and
a
pilot.
That's
definitely
worth
watching
now.
Councilor
says:
did
you
want
to
say
a
couple
of
words
about
this?
How
excited
you
are.
C
Sure
sure
thank
you,
chair
harder.
I
did
want
to
thank
staff.
We've
had
a
number
of
meetings
and
discussions
about
this
opportunity
to
pilot
the
cpp
system
and
I'd
like
to
thank
them.
First
of
all
and
just
outline
for
my
colleagues.
I
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
pilot
in
the
tech
park,
given
the
the
importance
as
an
economic
driver
and
employment
hub
for
our
city,
I
think
we
can
learn
a
lot
from
this
process
and
benefit
from
it.
C
C
The
current
zoning
that's
been
in
place
is
as
ter
harder
mentioned.
This
is
a
1970s
park
and
and
not
much
has
changed,
so
it's
not
conducive
to
the
type
of
growth
that
we
want
to
see
and
we
want
to
support
in
our
city
and
I
think,
by
piloting
this
program,
we're
enabling
the
property
owners
to
be
part
of
the
process,
the
community
to
be
part
of
the
process
and
help
define
how
we
want
to
see
this
growth
happen
and
help
it
happen
quicker.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity.
C
A
You
know
someone
has
to
go
first
in
a
pilot,
and
I
think
that
to
have
staff
put
this
before
us
as
an
opportunity,
let's
look
at
as
an
opportunity
that
we'll
be
able
to
see
become
successful
as
quickly
as
possible
and
and
then
look
for
opportunities
across
the
city,
making
business
easy
making
investment
easy
is
only
good
for
ottawa
and
it
certainly
puts
us
ahead
of
of
the
rest.
So
maybe
we
should
keep
that
to
ourselves
in
case
somebody
wants
to
get
competitive
too
early
anyway,
we'll
go
on
to
the
meeting.
A
A
For
the
items
just
mentioned,
only
those
who
make
oral
submissions
today
or
written
submissions
before
the
amendments
are
adopted
may
appeal
the
matter
to
the
local
planning
appeal
tribunal.
In
addition,
the
applicant
may
appeal
the
matter
to
the
local
planning
appeal
tribunal
of
council
does
not
adopt
an
amendment
within
90
days
of
receipt
of
the
application
for
zoning
and
120
days
for
an
official
plan
amendment
to
submit
written
comments
on
these
amendments
prior
to
their
consideration
by
city
council,
which
will
be
april
14th.
A
Please
email
or
call
the
committee
council
coordinator,
melody
tiffany,
and
if
anybody
has
any
motions
that
they'd
like
to
share
with
us
the
sooner
the
better.
Thank
you.
So
any
declarations
of
interest,
casino,
hands,
confirmation
and
confirmation
of
minutes
of
the
meeting
from
february
25th
is
that
carried.
D
A
Thank
you
communications,
as
noted.
Okay.
The
first
item
is
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
department.
2020
year-end
report
wow.
It's
amazing
what
was
accomplished
in
a
very
difficult
year
by
the
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
department.
So
congratulations,
mr
willis,
to
you
and
your
entire
team.
It
certainly
is
a
pleasure
working
with
people
that
are
so
committed
and
have
you
know,
I
think,
gone
beyond
in
many
ways
when
others
weren't.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
is
that
item.
A
Okay,
so
320
mcrae
avenue
and
315
tweets
mere
avenue
in
kitchissippi.
We
don't
have
anyone
registered
to
speak.
I
don't
see
any
hands
up
for
this
one.
We
do
have
people
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
before
I
go
to
the
applicant
counselor
leap
or
do
you
have
questions.
B
D
A
Great.
Thank
you
next
item,
I
think,
is
zoning
by
law,
amendments
for
1619
to
1655,
pearling
avenue
and
again
this
is
in
kitchissippi.
I
don't
have
anyone
to
speak
in
opposition.
I
have
the
applicant
again
that's
here:
does
anyone
have
any
questions
seeing
none
I'm
going
to
go
to
nick
sutherland
brian
casagrande,
kevin
reed
and
team
brian?
Do
you
need
to
speak
on
this
item.
A
A
A
A
A
Thank
you
so
on
this
item,
is
it
kerry?
Yes,
thank
you.
Next
item
is
the
zoning
bylaw
amendment
in
council
man's
board
at
4639
bank
street?
We
have
no
one
speaking
in
opposition,
we
do
have
representation
from
the
applicant.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions,
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands
up
so
to
matthew
mcgilligan.
I
saw
you
the
high
map.
Do
you
need
to
speak
if
we're
prepared
to
carry
this
item.
E
A
All
right
so
everyone
on
the
zoning
by-law
amendment
for
4639
bank
street,
is
it
carry
okay
good.
Thank
you.
The
next
step,
zoning
by
law,
amendment
1642,
marigold
road
in
council,
shirelli's
college
board
at
maryville
mall,
and
I
don't
see
anyone
in
opposition,
but
we
did
receive
comments
thanks,
rick
for
sending
them
in
yesterday,
as
the
last
meeting
rick
had
a
hard
time
getting
onto
into
the
meeting,
so
he
sent
those
in
advance.
Do
you
do
you
need
to
speak
to
this?
D
In
addition
to
the
notes,
not
really
no
just
basically
that
this
is
a
significant
difference
to
what's
there
now
and
the
the
community
is
a
two-story
community
and
getting
a
large
apartment
building
and
a
large
mixed
use
building
is
going
to
be
a
big
change
that
they
don't
feel
as
warranted.
At
a
time
when
we're
doing
significant
traffic
studies
on
viewmount
drive.
D
D
D
A
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
No,
we
don't
have
a
precise
timeline
simply
because
we're
the
owner
is
looking
to
obtain
approval
for
the
zoning
bile
amendment,
we're
also
about
to
submit
a
consent
application
just
to
facilitate
the
development
as
proposed.
So
we're
not
imminently
preparing
a
site
plan,
control
application.
D
D
D
D
A
A
B
Thank
you,
chair
and
good
morning
to
you
and
colleagues.
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
the
staff
great
to
see
the
the
annual
stats
and
to
see
the
city
keeps
on
chugging
along
moving
along
well
I'll,
get
straight
to
my
question.
For
a
number
of
years,
I've
raised
the
point
that
there
is
a
misconception
in
the
community
that
every
single
planning
file
that
gets
submitted
to
the
city
of
ottawa
gets
approved
by
this
committee,
and
we
know
that's
not
true.
We
know
that
many
files
go
through
a
long
period
with
staff
they
get
refined.
B
There's
push
pull,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
happens
before
it
sees
the
light
of
the
day
and
before
the
public
sees
those
files
and
I've
raised
with
staff
the
importance
of
tracking
that
data.
So
at
the
end
of
the
year
we
can
say:
hey,
we've
received
x,
number
of
files
and
here's
the
number
that
went
through
significant
modification,
because
again,
there's
that
misconception
that
hey
come
to
city
bottle
will
prove
everything.
No
problem
have
staff.
Looked
into
this
further.
There
was
some
comment
in
the
past.
It
might
be
difficult
to
produce
this
information.
F
So
chair,
first
of
all,
council
raises
a
good
point.
It's
important
to
remember
that
all
the
building
permit
applications
issued
in
the
city
of
ottawa
only
10
percent
ever
require
any
planning
change,
because
90
of
them
comply
with
the
zoning
that
is
already
in
place
in
the
city
of
ottawa.
That's
an
important
first
fact.
F
That
happens
in
which
applications
don't
proceed
after
we've
had
a
pre-consultation,
but
we
are
doing
a
new
technology
project
called
the
land
management
system
which,
when
implemented,
will
allow
us
to
do
a
better
tracking,
we're
rolling
out
the
first
phase
of
that
lms
in
the
next
year
in
building
code
on
building
permit
applications,
but
when
it
goes
to
the
planning
services
applications.
The
ms
steden's
group
responsible
for
we'll
have
more
data
at
that
point
and
we'll
be
able
to
put
more
reliable
reports
together.
F
Just
anecdotally,
we
think
that
they're,
you
know
we
get
a
lot
of
people
who
kick
the
tires
on
ideas,
and
I
think
only
you
know
only
a
a
portion
of
them
ever
proceed
to
planning
applications
and
ms
sneddon's
on
the
line,
but
I
think
my
gut
would
be
about
60
turn
into
real
applications,
but
40
go
away
or
they
come
back
substantially
modified.
That's
just
anecdotally
from
what
staff
would
say.
I
don't
have
data
to
back
that
up
and
then
and
then,
through
the
planning
application
process.
F
A
G
B
B
F
B
F
Are
two
things
driving
the
number
of
pool
enclosure
permits
within
the
last
year?
One
is
if
you
went
out
and
tried
to
buy
new
recreational
things
to
do
in
your
backyard
in
this
last
year.
If
you
tried
to
get
a
hot
tub
or
a
pool,
they
were,
they
were
incredibly
high
demand
and
most
of
the
suppliers
were
sold
out.
F
A
D
Yeah,
I
noted
in
the
report
there's
a
summary
of
success
rate
for
processing
time
targets
and,
in
particular,
site
plan
control
and
zoning.
By-Law
amendments
have
a
low
percentage
meeting.
The
deadline
did
staff.
Give
us
a
little
more
context
of
why
that's
happening
and
if
there's
any
strategies
to
improve
the
on-time
performance
rates.
F
So
to
chair
I'll
start,
the
answer,
msn
we'll
add
to
what
I
have
to
say.
So
we've
been
looking
very
carefully
at
our
on-time
performance
and
site
plan
applications
and
there
are
three
drivers
to
those
problems.
One
are
two
ones
out
of
our
control
and
two
are
within
our
control,
so
one
that's
out
of
our
control
is
when
significant
technical
issues
are
raised
after
someone
files
an
application,
you
know
whether
it
be
a
traffic
issue
or
servicing
issue.
We
don't
control
how
long
it
takes
for
the
applicant
to
address
those
issues.
F
So
that's
the
one
that's
out
of
our
control
this,
the
two
that
are
within
our
control
are
one
is
related
to
the
you
know.
If
the
file
is
a
complex
file
and
we
do
a
lot
of
public
consultation
in
ottawa,
ottawa
is
one
of
the
only
municipalities
in
all
of
ontario
that
does
public
consultation
on
site
plans.
F
So
that's
one
thing:
that's
within
our
control.
The
other
thing
is
within
our
control
is
our
legal
agreement
side
and
we
are
working
on
this
issue
and
we're
looking
at
working
very
closely
with
legal
services.
Part
of
that
has
to
do
with
vacancies.
You
know
these
are
positions
we
have,
but
there
are
vacant
that
need
to
be
filled
in
order
to
have
support
to
the
legal
services
team
we're
looking
at
assisting
them.
The
industry
will
probably
raise
to
us.
They
wouldn't
mind
it.
F
If
we
actually,
they
would
pay
through
fees
for
that
group
to
be
increased
in
size
and
we're
also
looking
at
some
short
form
agreements
for
simple
things
that
are
not
particularly
complex
and
very
repetitive.
So
ms
sneden's
working
with
legal
services
on
a
project
like
that
right
now
and
I've
just
given
an
overview
leanne's
very
seized
with
this
issue.
It's
a
priority
for
us
to
try
to
make
some
progress
on
this
issue.
G
Liam,
I'm
sure
thanks
very
much
madam
chair
just
to
add,
I
mean
the
files
that
are
coming
into
our
complex
and
and
that
that
that
takes
additional
time.
Often
our
urban
design
review
panels
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
good
design.
I
mean
that
takes
time
as
well
and
just
to
kind
of
tie
into
the
question
that
counselor
rockington
had
with
respect
to
whether
or
not
we
decline,
applications
or
say.
G
No
one
really
important
factor
that
does
contribute
to
time
is
that
almost
every
application
that
comes
in
doesn't
end
up
being
the
outcome
of
that
application.
So
there
may
be
times
we're
not
saying
no
to
an
application,
but
almost
every
application
changes
from
the
time
they
enter
and
we
receive
them
until
staff
provides
feedback
and
the
community
provides
feedback.
The
outcome
is
always
different,
so
these
processes
do
take
time.
A
Thank
you,
I
don't
see
any
other,
and
so
is
this
item
received
received
steve.
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
willis,
and
your
your
team,
your
excellent
team
for
all
of
your
work.
Next

kavanaugh.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
yeah.
No,
I
just
had
some
concerns
from
the
community
that
I
wanted
to
pass
on
there.
There
was
concerns
that
the
building
was
approved
back
in
2019
and
then
this
came
along
and
there
was
concern
that
this
is
to
do
with
the
rooftop
that
it
would
mean
more
issues
with
people
looking
over
on
their
backyards,
because
it's
right
next
door
to
single-family
homes,
and
so
so
I
just
wanted
to
pass
that
on.
E
But
one
of
the
things
that
came
up-
that's
just
a
process
thing
is
the
fact
that
851
is
attached
to
another
building.
It's
it's
a
current
apartment
apartment
building
there
that's
already
there
they're
going
to
be
connected
underground
and
there
was
no
notice
notices
given
to
the
residents
who
live
in
that
apartment
building,
because
the
rules
are
that
you
send
it
to
homeowners
in
the
area,
so
they
got
up.
Notices
of
you
know,
updates,
etc,
but
not
the
people
in
the
apartment,
even
though
the
building's
going
to
be
attached
to
them.
G
E
D
D
So
if
the
the
building
next
door-
and
I
believe
it
is-
is
a
rental
property-
then
those
renters
wouldn't
have
received
a
notice,
but
it
would
have
been
passed
on
to
the
registered
property
owners
and
often
in
the
case
of
rental
buildings,
they
post
those
notices
on
their
on
their
common
area
bulletin
boards
to
notify
residents
there
would.
There
was
also
a
sign
that
went
up
on
the
property
as
well
in
front
of
to
notify
residents
who
have
concerns
of
the
zoning
amendment
proposed
yeah.
It's.
G
G
E
Thank
you,
I'm
just
passing
that
on,
because
that
was
that
was
raised
to
me
a
few
times
as
well.
The
the
other
concern
was
the
fact
that
it
was
over
and
above
what
was
originally
put
in
in
2019
the
building
itself,
and
then
there
was
a
concern
that
it
would.
It
would
mean
more
more
visitors,
because
it's
a
it's
a
party
feature.
It's
it's
like
a
party
room
on
the
roof,
so
I'm
just
passing
on
those
concerns
that
residents
raised
with
me.
