BACKGROUND Following the National Capital Commission’s 2016 site selection review process of federal lands within the urban area of the City of Ottawa, on December 2, 2016, the Minister of Canadian Heritage requested that federal government undertake the Submission: 2017-P06e Page 1 of 4 Public document Submission necessary preparations to make the Carling Avenue (East) site, commonly referred to as the Sir John Carling site, available as the future location of the new Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital (TOH). The site is comprised of 20 hectares of land within the ownership/management of three (3) federal parties, including Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the National Capital Commission (NCC), as shown in Appendix 1. PSPC is the federal agency given the responsibility for the federal land assembly and to lease the lands to The Ottawa Hospital. This approval gives the authority to the federal agencies involved, including the NCC, to transact NILM lands to PSPC and will approve, with conditions, PSPC to transact the assembled federal lands to The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) in the form of a long term lease, for construction of a new world-class hospital and teaching facility. As the site is designated NILM, the transaction will be subject to conditions, as part of the federal land use and transaction approvals (FLUTA) required under the National Capital Act. Approval conditions to be included in the transaction documents from PSPC to the Hospital shall ensure relevant capital interests and approval obligations are reflected at the appropriate stage of the site development. The FLUTA document in Appendix 3 includes: • NCC undertaking amendments to the Capital Urban Lands Plan (2015), to reflect the proposed use; • The provision of 200 vehicles and seven (7) bus parking spaces shall remain available for use of visitors to the capital realm features such as the Dow’s Lake Pavilion and Commissioners Park; • The Ottawa Hospital project shall be subject to subsequent phased federal approvals, with a focus on design quality and capital realm principles (Appendix 2); • The transaction approval will form part of a joint submission for the central agency process approvals from Treasury Board Secretariat to formalize the future location of the new TOH facility in Canada’s Capital Region. Moving forward, these approvals will facilitate TOH to advance the planning of the new Civic Campus in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, and on its schedule. 6. ANALYSIS OF OPTIONS AND RISK • All lands are within the NILM. To ensure the long term reflection of this important heritage and capital realm designation in the Capital; a long term ground lease is being negotiated rather than disposing of NILM lands; • There is a precedent of a hospital on NILM lands, where a long term lease is held by a federal entity (Queensway Carleton Hospital with the NCC); Submission: 2017-P06e Page 2 of 4 Public document Submission • PSPC, on behalf of the federal government, is committed to targeting completion of the transaction in 2017. 7.
