OVERVIEW Lloyd Phillips & Associates Ltd. has been retained by the owner (1343487 Ontario Limited) of the lands known municipally as 6690 Mitch Owens Road (the ‘site’) to prepare a Planning Rationale report in support of a proposed rezoning. The site is primarily vacant, containing a few structures in the northwest portion of the lot, while the rest is occupied primarily by mixed vegetation. For zoning purposes the site is split into two unequal portions, each within the same base zone, but both subject to different zoning exceptions. The Owner’s intent is to have the site rezoned to be under a single zone with an expanded list of permitted uses. The site’s current zoning is extremely restrictive, having been established in the year 2000 in relation to the structures existing on the northwest corner of the site. The proposed rezoning would permit a broadened range of appropriate uses on the site. This proposal necessitates a Major Zoning By-law Amendment Application, and as part of that submission, a Planning Rationale. 6690 Mitch Owens Rd. GREELY Figure 1. Parcel fabric map. File No.: 1622 Lloyd Phillips & Associates Ltd. June 2, 2017 Planning Rationale Page 4 of 30 2. SITE AND SURROUNDING CONTEXT 2.1 Site Context The site is primarily vacant, with the exception of the northwest corner, the area nearest the Mitch Owens and Albion intersection. The northwest corner of the site contains a vacant, two-storey detached dwelling, a vacant, one-storey motel, and an operating immobile vehicle food stand. The vacant dwelling was formerly used as a living space and front office for the adjacent motel, both of which were built around the 1960s. The motel ceased operation in the late 1990s while the dwelling was occupied until 2004, the same year the food stand began operating. The remainder of the site is vacant, containing a mix of grass, shrubs, and mature trees. The site is primarily flat with a gradual two metre downward slope from the northeast corner towards the southwest corner (a distance of approximately 390 metres). The site is rectangular in shape with a small saw tooth impression on its northeast corner where a residential lot containing a single detached home is located. The lot has a total area of 71,068.6 m2 (7.1 ha), an average depth of 192.86 m and a frontage along Mitch Owens Road of 339 m (see Figure 3). The site is composed of two parts, with Part 2 (18 m2) subject to Easement OC208765 (represents a buried hydro line). The site’s PIN is 04319-1749, and its legal description is: CON 4 LOT 1 Geographic Township of Osgoode, City of Ottawa. N GREELY 6690 Mitch Owens Figure 2.

  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.

  • SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ********
    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.
