The new Official Plan has been prepared and enacted in accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The main purpose of the Official Plan is to provide a general, comprehensive, framework for the guidance of future land use and physical development within the corporate limits of the City of Cornwall. 1.1.1 Context The City of Cornwall consists of approximately 80 square kilometres and 46,400 persons and is situated on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, approximately 37 kilometres west of the Quebec/Ontario border, 100 kilometres south-east of Ottawa and 110 kilometres west of Montreal. It is an integral part of the "Quebec City to Windsor corridor" and is served by numerous excellent transportation facilities including Highway 401 and former Highway 2 (and Highways 138-417 to Ottawa), the CN Mainline and the International Bridge linking Cornwall to New York State. Cornwall has a strong economic base; historically dependent on manufacturing it has increased in diversity to include expanding service and logistics sectors. The City has an immediate regional population of approximately 73,400 (including the City at approximately 46,400 (2014 Watson Report) and surrounding South Stormont and South Glengarry Townships) and is the centre of a much larger region containing 116,500 plus persons. Cornwall is indeed an old City by Canadian standards and celebrated its Bicentennial in 1984. It has a long history and rich cultural heritage and has been strongly influenced by its industrial heritage, as well as English, and French Canadian, and Akwesasne cultures. 1.2 Short Title The Official Plan for the City of Cornwall Planning Area may be referred to as "The Official Plan” or “the Plan". Page 1-2 The City of Cornwall Official Plan – Final Adopted October 23, 2017 1.3 Structure of the Official Plan The Official Plan consists of the written text and the Schedules attached hereto and shall include any future amendments formally incorporated into this Plan. While the background material contained in the Appendices attached to this Plan does not formally constitute a part of the Official Plan, it does provide a necessary context for the reader. Reference should also be made to the many background studies and other reports used to provide a basis for the Official Plan. 1.4 Scope and Type of Plan 1.4.1 The Official Plan is primarily concerned with promoting the orderly development and redevelopment of land within the City of Cornwall. 1.4.2 The Official Plan is intended essentially as a Comprehensive Land Use Plan. It is intended as a comprehensive document in terms of its scope and subject matter. The focus of the Official Plan is primarily upon future land use and the physical development of the Municipality. The Official Plan does recognize however, that land use planning is inherently related to other City functions and objectives such as economic development, the efficient provision and utilization of municipal services, energy conservation and sustainability, protection of the natural environment, and sound financial management. 1.4.3 The Official Plan should be considered as a Primary Plan setting out general city-wide policies. It is intended as a document from which more detailed plans, policies and programs will ultimately be developed. 1.4.4 Scope and Type of Plan - The Official Plan is also intended as a Policy Plan as opposed to a regulatory document and as such, is essentially an official statement of the City's planning aspirations - setting out its goals and policies. The Official Plan document by itself cannot control development. The Official Plan does however, provides the necessary basis for the Zoning By-law and also provides a guide to be used in assessing development applications (e.g. re-zonings and proposed plans of subdivision). It should be noted that the Planning Act provides that all future by-laws passed and public works undertaken by a municipality must conform with its Official Plan or Amendments to that. The City may enact additional by-laws (i.e.: site alteration or tree preservation By-law) which can assist in the implementation of this Plan. Page 1-3 The City of Cornwall Official Plan – Final Adopted October 23, 2017 1.5 Purpose of the Plan 1.5.1 The general purposes of the Official Plan are to define and promote the public interest in the future planning of the City, to promote an enhanced quality of life for the citizens of Cornwall and to reduce the uncertainty that could exist concerning the future development and re-development of the City. 1.5.2 The Plan has been developed to support the creation of a strong healthy community, the wise use and management of resources, and the protection of public health and safety in accordance with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014. 1.5.3 More specifically, the Official Plan is intended to: Set out the official intention of the City towards the future development and redevelopment of the Municipality and by so doing; provide a general framework for future planning decisions and programs. Provide the basis for an updated City Zoning By-law and other land use control documents. Provide guidance to the Planning Advisory Committee, City Council, the Committee of Adjustment, and other bodies on future development applications and assist the Ontario Municipal Board in its decisions on planning appeals. Provide guidance to prospective private developers and investors on the future development and redevelopment of the City and to set out planning approval criteria and related matters.

  • Cornwall Street Railway 23/04/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall - 15Th
    Local Railway Items from Area Papers - Cornwall Street Railway 23/04/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall - 15th. Work has been commenced on the construction of Cornwall's electric street railway and it is expected that part of the line will be opened for traffic in June. -- The work was commenced at the GTR station yesterday and a roadbed is being laid sufficiently solid to carry loaded freight cars from the depot to the various mills and factories. The cars for the road are being built by the Rathbuns at Deseronto and the electric machinery is being made at Peterboro. -- A powerful 120 horse-power electric locomotive will be used to haul freight which will be one of the principal sources of revenue.-- An important part of the scheme is the park on Gillespie's point east of town which is to be fitted up as a pleasure resort.-- It is to be hoped that ere long they will build a line to connect with the CPR at Monkland station. This would shorten the trip to Ottawa considerably. Several spurs of this kind would bring a great deal of trade into the town and profit to the company. 02/07/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall July 1. The Cornwall Electric Street Railway is now an accomplished fact and the members of the town council and a large party of prominent citizens were carried over five miles of track yesterday in handsome trolley cars run by electricity. Work was commenced on the building of the railway in April. A large force of men were employed and the track laid on a good solid bed of macadam from the GTR station down Pitt Street to Water Street and thence east to the St.
