This Planning Rationale provides a description of the proposal and substantiates the planning basis for amendments to the South Nepean Town Centre Secondary Plan (South Nepean TC SP) and the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law No. 2008-250. The Planning Rationale demonstrates consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement and meets the intent of the City of Ottawa’s Official Plan, the South Nepean Town Centre Secondary Plan and Community Design Plan, as well as the City’s Zoning By-law No. 2008-250. In so doing, the Planning Rationale serves to justify the proposed increase in building height for the Mid Rise Mixed-Use site (as designated within the South Nepean Town Centre Secondary Plan) from six storeys to nine storeys. 1.2 Site Location & Description The subject property is owned by the South Nepean Development Corporation and is legally described as Blocks 3 and 4, Plan 4M1438. Figure 1: Location Map of Subject Property Novatech 1 Planning Rationale The Waterford Barrhaven Retirement Community The property is approximately 0.92 hectares in size and is bound by Marketplace Avenue, Longfields Drive, Lindenshade Drive and Sue Holloway Drive. It is the size of a typical downtown block in the City of Ottawa. The subject property is a rectangular vacant parcel that slopes to the south and east with the eastern portion of the site having a 3 metre lower elevation when compared to the portion of the property near the intersection of Marketplace and Sue Holloway Drive. Given that the site is part of an existing subdivision, it had previously been cleared with some fill material being present. Currently, some utility installations (hydro) have already taken place around the perimeter of the site. 1.3 Surrounding Uses & Community Context The subject site is located within the South Nepean Town Centre lands and is within 400 metres of existing and proposed Transit Stations (Bus Rapid Transit and Light Rail Transit). It is located immediately to the east of the Strandherd Retail District and is designated Mid Rise Mixed-Use within the South Nepean Town Centre–Area 7 Secondary Plan. Existing land uses within the surrounding Town Centre lands include: Residential: 4 storeys to south and 2 ½ and 3 storeys to the east; Commercial: 1-2 storey commercial/retail buildings to west and northwest on lands known as the Strandherd Retail District; Vacant land: Undeveloped High Rise Mixed-Use lands (to be developed with 17 storeys) immediately to the north; and Institutional: a 2 storey Secondary School (École Secondaire Pierre-Savard) located kitty-corner to the site. The South Nepean Town Centre Secondary Plan guides the development of the Town Centre lands, which were envisioned to include a hub of concentrated higher densities of mixed-use development in the north-central section that would transition through mid-rise densities south to lower density residential development reaching the greenspace network along the Jock River. Currently, more than 50% of the Town Centre lands remain undeveloped and zoned as development reserve lands (see Figure 2). Within the Town Centre, the High Rise Mixed-Use lands are intended to develop as an active mixed-use shopping district with the Mid Rise Mixed-Use policy area to develop at a comparatively lower scale, with opportunities for live-work units and medium density housing forms. Novatech 2 Planning Rationale The Waterford Barrhaven Retirement Community Figure 2: Subject Property in South Nepean Town Centre lands 2.0 THE PROPOSAL The Waterford Barrhaven Retirement Community would offer housing choices to seniors across the spectrum of a continuum of care, from independent living units to housing options that will allow aging in place. The vision of the proponent is to offer a range of housing choices that would satisfy the needs and level of care required by a senior throughout the aging process. Providing choice and a range of retirement housing options increases the possibility that housing will be available in-situ and eliminate the need for and disruption of moving elsewhere. The development would consist of 291 rooming* / apartment units within two connected buildings that represent a combination of: 140 independent units (ranging from studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom rooming

  • Lebreton Flats Redevelopment
    Public Consultation on the Redevelopment of LeBreton Flats Final Report APRIL 28, 2016 Public Consultation: Redevelopment of LeBreton Flats I — Description Background LeBreton Flats occupies one of the most beautiful sites in Canada’s Capital, and making it a world-class destination is a priority for the National Capital Commission (NCC). The recent remediation of contaminated soils, the added accessibility provided by the upcoming light rail transit (a station will be located south of the site) and the upcoming new urban development have set the stage for the NCC to embark on the next development phase of the site. Therefore, in 2014 the NCC initiated the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process for the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats. Four proponents were then qualified for the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase of the project. Following the deadline for submissions of proposals for the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats on December 15th, the NCC announced that two proponents, Devcore Canderel and DLS Group and RendezVous LeBreton Group, had submitted proposals. The proposals will be assessed by an evaluation committee, which is composed of selected individuals from the NCC and the private sector. Based on the evaluation criteria identified in the RFP document, the evaluation committee is to recommend the preferred proponent(s) to the NCC’s Board of Directors. In addition, the NCC has hired P1-Consulting, an independent, third-party fairness monitoring firm, to observe the entire request for proposal process, in order to ensure the fairness of the process for both the NCC and the proponents. The fairness monitors are involved at every step of the solicitation process, and provide advice when required.
