Scott St CDP Community Meeting June 26th

While only one small corner of Champlain Park (i.e.: the lands around the mosque) is within the CDP boundary, all of us will be affected by the redevelopment of Scott St. I recommend that Champlain Park residents attend the community consultation, to hear what is being proposed and provide feedback.

Subj: Community Meeting June 26th

Good morning PAC members,

As most of you know, the community meeting is scheduled for next week. We’ve done advertisement in the newspaper and we will also be sending out an e-bulletin in the next day or so.

Could you kindly add the Community Meeting information to your group’s website? Feel free to use the information below to do your own email distribution of the Community Meeting. Thanks.

Wednesday June 26, 2013
Hintonburg Community Centre, 1064 Wellington Street West
6 to 9 p.m. with a presentation at 6:30 p.m.
Interactive sessions will begin after the presentation

Come out to hear about the ongoing development of the Scott Street CDP. The meeting will be lead by Urban Strategies Inc., the urban design consultant hired by the City of Ottawa to undertake the Scott Street CDP.

Interactive Sessions

There are keys areas of the CDP that we need more community feedback on such as:

Scott Street – the design of Scott Street after the Light Rail Transit (LRT) construction is completed
Tall Buildings – the location of future tall buildings within the CDP study area
Neighbourhood focus – key issues for each neighbourhood in the study area

Your ideas and suggestions will make a difference

The purpose of the meeting is to provide Urban Strategies with information to further develop the vision for the Scott Street CDP. Your participation and feedback are integral components in the development of the CDP.

Infill – Staff response to OMB Interim Order

Duncan and CoChair1 of the CPCA Development Committee attended this presentation. There were a number of other community associations as well as development industry members there (including some that we have worked with). Many questions were asked. However, because this is before the OMB and the Divisional court, the presentation was for public information only and not for further input. Rather, a recommendation is being made by Council in response to an OMB order, and the OMB will make the final decisions.

Some highlights: The revised infill zoning by-law recommendation (in response to an OMB Decision based on an industry Appeal of the new by-law provisions) will be:

to extend the provisions to renovation of old dwellings, as well as to new infill,
to expand the comparison properties to five lots in all directions of the subject property,
and to refine the definition of “character” based on some defined parameters that have been identified

Further details are included in the presentation and report, so please read these.

Infill Phase II will focus on height, building envelope, rear and side yard set-backs and will not duplicate the parameters of Infill Phase I. Our Development Committee is participating in this new consultation and CoChair1 will be making a short presentation (in tandem with Carlington CA) at a workshop on June 24. Note that building height has been identified as an issue by a number of communities, and was also addressed at a talk by an urban planner at the Federation of Citizens’ Associations AGM. Height is one of the parameters that contribute to the “building envelope” which equates to building volume.
