FORWARD THINKING: a TOD Concept Plan for the Pinecrest Foster Farm Community FORWARD THINKING: A TOD Concept Plan for the Pinecrest Foster Farm Community 21 December 2018 FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 This page was intentionally left blank. P A G E ii FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Pinecrest Foster Farm community, located in the City of Ottawa’s west end, is anticipating the arrival of the Pinecrest light rail transit (LRT) station in 2023. Ottawa Community Housing (OCH), as a major affordable housing provider in the City, and as a major property owner in the area, has a key interest in ensuring that affordable housing is provided near the LRT station. OCH, with support from the City of Ottawa, has retained the Project Team to create a concept plan of what Ottawa’s Pinecrest Foster Farm community might look like if it were redeveloped according to transit-oriented development (TOD) principles. The Concept Plan is looking to a final build-out in 2035. The vision for Pinecrest Foster Farm is to create an inclusive, mixed-use, and transit-oriented community that is a safe and liveable environment for residents and visitors. The geographic scope for this project is differentiated by the Study Area, the site, and OCH-owned property (Figure 1). The Study Area defines a broad area of interest surrounding the future Pinecrest LRT Station, with a focus on lands north of the Highway 417 and west of Pinecrest Road. The site, which is comprised of key lands to be considered for redevelopment, is the focus of the Concept Plan. The site itself is comprised of nineteen hectares of land, which include OCH, municipal, and provincial properties, as well as a few key non-residential private properties. The OCH lands have a mixture of affordable housing units in the form of two-storey townhomes and a fourteen-storey apartment building. Figure 1: Map showing the Study Area, site, and OCH property. Pinecrest Foster Farm currently functions as an isolated bedroom community that is heavily reliant on automobiles. Based on analysis of Duany and Talen’s Urban to Rural transect, the community fell between a Rural (T2) and Suburban (T3) Zone in the 1970s; whereas, today the area falls within the category of Suburban (T3) or General Urban Zone (T4), which is comprised of many single- or semi-detached low-rise residential units (Figure 2). The introduction of the LRT station, and subsequent redevelopment, has the potential to bring Pinecrest Foster Farm into an Urban Centre (T5) or an Urban Core Zone (T6) on the transect. P A G E iii FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 Figure 2: Duany & Talen’s Urban to Rural transect1. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Challenges (SWOC) Analysis A SWOC analysis was conducted for the Pinecrest Foster Farm community (Figure 3). The Study Area’s proximity to major transportation corridors positions the community well for a transit-oriented redevelopment. OCH and the City’s commitment to providing affordable housing near LRT stations is another strength of the site. However, the Study Area has several weaknesses, including a large brownfield, a discontinuous road network, inadequate infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, and a major physical barrier in the form of the highway and its associated sound wall. As such, while there are substantial opportunities for transit-oriented, affordable, mixed-use and mixed-density redevelopment, significant financial investment will be needed from the City, property owners, and developers to remediate the brownfield, construct new roads and connections to neighbouring communities, and support a safe and active public realm. Strengths Weaknesses • Pinecrest LRT station • Former landfill site • Located on prominent corridors • Grading • Good access to public transit • Highway sound barrier • Land owned by OCH and City • Stigmatization of the area • Existing apartment building • Non-pedestrian friendly • Site’s potential S W • Lack of amenities Opportunities Challenges • Improve connectivity • Highway acts as a barrier • Establish a community centre • Difficult to access external • Support from main stakeholders amenities • Surplus of recreational land • Rigidity of road network • Partnerships O C • Hesitation to welcome higher densities • Leverage of funding Figure 3: SWOC Analysis summary. P A G E iv FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 Concept Plan The Concept Plan developed introduces a modified gridiron street network that supports multi-modal connections to the LRT station and throughout the community. The plan substantially increases the number of residential units onsite from 417 to over 3,800, a third of which are RGI or affordable units. It also provides equitably distributed green and open spaces for a diverse population, while setting aside spaces for institutional, retail, and office uses. A figure showing the site at full build-out with proposed building heights can be seen in Figure 4. A breakdown of key statistics for the proposed site, including dwelling units and density numbers, can be seen in Table 1. Table 1: Summary of proposed statistics in Concept Plan. Specifications Existing Site Proposed Site Number of dwelling units 417 3,821 Number of residents 1,373 9,017 Office (GFA in sq.m.) 0 61,895 Retail (GFA in sq.m.) 1,660 14,924 Number of employees 95 4,187 Number of people and jobs per hectare 77 695 Institutional (GFA in sq.m.) 8,900 61,371 Average Net Floor Space Index (FSI) 0.50 4.44 Figure 4: Concept Plan with proposed building heights in storeys. P A G E v FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 Implementation Prior to beginning construction of new buildings in the Pinecrest Foster Farm community, many infrastructure projects and other activities will need to be undertaken. Table 2 below provides an overview of these projects. Table 2: Pre-construction infrastructure projects. Approx. Stage Project Timeline Form community engagement task force, work on master plans, secure 0-3 Research I financing, develop P3 strategies, conclude Pinecrest and Queensview Planning years Study Conduct public engagement, construct LRT station, relocate softball diamonds, 2-6 II realign highway on/off-ramp, submit OPA and ZBLA applications years Conduct public engagement, begin brownfield remediation, submit other 6-9 Implementation III planning applications, upgrade parks years 10-20 IV Construct internal road network, re-house tenants, begin redevelopment years In Stage IV, redevelopment of the site can begin.

  • Organization and Management of Benny Fram Site Public, Private and Semi-Private Spaces September 25 , 2003
    Organization and Management of Benny Fram Site Public, Private and Semi-private Spaces th September 25 , 2003 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF BENNY FARM SITE INTRODUCTION This report is organized into four sections as follows: 1. Public, Private and Semi-Private Spaces 2. Legal Tools 3. Examples of Residential Projects 4. Recommendations and Next Steps In the first section, we analyze the Benny Farm site in terms of the different property regimes, namely, public, private and semi-private land. We also identify the issues of overall site integration and management. In the second part, we provide two possible legal tools that may be used to ensure that the whole project is integrated in terms of overall architectural style and landscaping quality and that the different areas are properly maintained. In the third part, we provide examples of other residential projects in the Montreal area. Finally, we provide our preliminary recommendations as to which legal regime is best suited for Benny Farm and how you may proceed. 1. PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE SPACES With reference to the site plan prepared by Saia et Barbarese/Claude Cormier in August 2003 (the “Site Plan”), the site may be organized into three property regimes: public, private and semi-private. 1.1 Public Spaces (a) Definition In the event that the City acquires a portion of the northeast corner of the site for a community recreation center, such area will become a public space. The Benny Farm site plan includes a new road west of Cavendish. This road is an extension of Prince of Wales Avenue, which will be transferred to the City and become public.

  • 5.0. Community Architecture in Montreal
    5.0. Community Architecture In Montreal The main focus of the last chapter was to present the evolution of community participation in architecture at a global scale. However, since the case study project of this research report is situated in the city of Montréal, Canada, it is also important to present a more local perspective of community-based architecture. The following text accounts the significant events in the history of Montréal that fortified the concept of community participation in architecture in the city. 5.1. The Milton-Park Project At the beginning of this research, one of the main reasons for selecting a project based in Montréal was the feasibility factor due to my location in this city. However, what I did not know at that time was how Montréal has had an active history of community-based initiatives in architecture. One such example and probably the most successful is that of my very neighborhood, popularly known as the McGill Ghetto, located next to the McGill University. The neighborhood is formally known as the Milton-Park area and comprises about eight blocks, which were the “battleground” between the community members residing in this area and a private developer from 1968 to 1983 (Helman 9, 13). Claire Helman in her book, The Milton-Park Affair: Canada’s Largest Citizen-Developer Confrontation, gives a step- by-step account of the efforts of the residents who were involved in a fight to protect their houses and neighborhood from the fate of destruction. In 1860s, the 53 development of the Milton-Park area began with the construction of a new Hotel- Dieu.
