  • Clemow Estate Preliminary Heritage Study
    Phase III: Clemow Estate Preliminary Heritage Study Clemow Estate (Phase III) Heritage Conservation District Study Preliminary Analysis and Recommendations 1.0 Introduction The area around Central Park in the Glebe was initially highlighted for its potential heritage value in 2004. Since then, the Clemow Estate East Heritage Conservation District was designated in 2011 and the Clemow Estate Heritage Conservation District Study Phase II is currently underway. The last remaining area for consideration is the area around Central Park, west of Bank Street. City Council approved the initial study of this area on October 27, 2004 through the following motion: Approve that this process be followed by Phase II, which would include Linden Terrace and Patterson Creek to the Canal, and by Phase III including Central Park and buildings adjacent to it west of Bank Street. The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the study area, its historic and architectural context and to provide recommendations for next steps. 2.0 Description of Study Area Central Park West is bounded by Lyon Street and Bank Street as well as Powell Avenue, Renfrew Avenue, Chamberlain Avenue and Rosebery Avenue.

  • Binding Old and New at Lansdowne Park Ottawa, Canada
    Copyright© 2016 Citygreen CASE STUDY BINDING OLD AND NEW AT LANSDOWNE PARK OTTAWA, CANADA Ottawa’s Lansdowne Park has gone through exten- sive redevelopment with three major components that makes the venue a significant national and international attraction. The revitalisation was planned early 2009 as part of a series of initiatives approved by the Ottawa Coun- cil. In June 2010, the council voted to continue the Lansdowne Partnership Plan (LPP), “an innovative and dynamic solution to redevelop Lansdowne Park” through a partnership of the city with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG). Lansdowne Park is a world-class attraction that “blends modern amenities, courtyards, heritage buildings and green space”. The urban public destination, well situated in the heart of Ottawa, features events and activities for all ages and all seasons. The new Lansdowne revitalisation is a “model of modern-day innovation in an urban form where people can go to walk, cycle, shop, enjoy a good meal, be entertained, work, live and play” in an environment respectful of the city’s architectural heritage. The plan included the renovation of the TD Place stadium, mixed-use area with shops, residences and offices, and the 18-acre urban park. The main aim of the refurbished stadium is to “seamlessly integrate the facility into the new urban setting by using varied and natural features”. The TD Place Stadium features 24,000 seats and newly refurbished 10,000 seat indoor arena. It will host sports events, concerts and performances by headline acts. The first major park event in the renovated stadium was held in July this year.

  • Capital Brownfields: an Assessment of Brownfield Planning Policy in the City of Ottawa, Ontario
    Capital Brownfields: An Assessment of Brownfield Planning Policy in the City of Ottawa, Ontario by Mark Roy Ouseley A thesis Presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Mark Roy Ouseley 2013 i AUTHOR's DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT A brownfield is previously developed land which suffers from actual or perceived contamination due to past uses. The City of Ottawa, like many of Canada's municipalities, is faced with a significant inventory of brownfields. As the legacy of industrial activities in earlier times, these sites have become an environmental threat, blight to the community and economic loss for their owners and the City. Unlike many of Ontario's more highly industrialized municipalities, Ottawa has a less industrialized history and, as the Nation's Capital, faces unique brownfield challenges and development climate, requiring a policy approach that is tailored to the Ottawa development market. Ottawa's major brownfield sites are owned by different levels of governments and private firms, ranging from the National Capital Commission owned LeBreton Flats to the City of Ottawa owned Bayview Yards. This thesis intends to examine current development trends for brownfields, impediments and opportunities for development, assess the efficacy of current policies and provide suggestions for the improvement of the existing brownfield development planning process in Ottawa, using an applied research method.
