This site is located on the east side of Stittsville Main Street to
the south of the Ward 6 boundary. Immediately north of the lands is a
residential urban subdivision, known as Upcountry, and to the south of the lands
is an estate lot subdivision.

subject lands,
approximately 19
hectares, be changed
from General Rural to

this site were included
in the urban boundary
for future development.

proposed a future
subdivision of
approximately 142 lots
for single detached
houses. Further to the
comments raised at the
public meeting on
January 28, 2008 the

revisions to the

size.

60 Sweetnam Dr. (proposed Stacked
Townhouses)
Last year the City received a development proposal for stacked townhomes at 60
Sweetnam Drive, located on the northeast corner of Sweetnam Drive and Harry
Douglas Drive. The applicant proposed to develop four, three and one-half storey
stacked townhouses that will accommodate a total of thirty-two residential units
with eight units per townhouse block.
On May 23, 2007 City Council rejected the zoning by-law
amendment application to rezone the land from “Local Commercial” (CL) to a
“Residential Type 4” (R4) Exception Zone to allow for stacked townhomes. The
applicant has appealed this decision to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). The
OMB hearing will be on May 12, 2008 and 5 days have been provided for the
hearing.
Concurrently with the zoning application, the applicant
has also submitted the Site Plan Control Application. Site Plan Control is the
process that is used to control or regulate the various features on the site of
an actual development, including building location, landscaping, drainage,
parking, and access by pedestrians and vehicles. Both the zoning request and the
site plan will be dealt with at the OMB hearing.
In preparing for the OMB hearing, the City must hire an outside planner to
represent the City's case at the OMB. City planners cannot be used for this case
because the City's Planning Department supported the application as it followed
the City's Official Plan infill policy.
The City's legal council contacted a total of 12 planning
firms, and all those firms declined the offer. Professional planners will only
accept cases that they believe they can represent given their interpretation of
the City's Official Plan. The recommendation from the City's legal department is
that if 12 planning firms have declined the case, then they will not be able to
find a planner to represent the City Council decision to refuse this
development. If there is no planner to represent the City Council decision, then
there will not be a case to put in front of the OMB for the rezoning proposal.
Therefore, the City will not be able to fight the zoning
request at the OMB. However, the City can still work on the site plan issues
with the developer. The major site plan issues that have been raised by the
community have been building locations, parking, garbage storage, pedestrian
connections and landscaping.

Planner, Mark Young at 613-580-2424 x41396 or

240 West Ridge Drive
In the Spring of 2010, the applicant has submitted a revised plan of subdivision
for this site located on the west side of West Ridge Drive, south of the Trans
Canada Trail and north of Deer Run Park. The application will be processed
concurrently with a site plan application. These applications are for 60
freehold townhomes ranging from 1400 sq ft to 1800 sq ft and 5 single-detached
homes. It is proposed that the public street would have two intersections which
would align with the southern intersections of Eliza Crescent and Greenhaven
Crescent.
This site has had some
history over the past
number of years.
Originally during the
construction of West
Ridge/Deer Run area, the
land was reserved for an
elementary school,
however the school board
indicated they no longer
required the land. In
2007 City Council
approved the requested
zoning by-law amendment
to rezone the land from
Institutional Zone (I)
to Special Residential
Type 4 (R4-15 and
R4-17). This zoning
permits town homes,
semi-detached, and
single detached
dwellings with a
restriction to not
permit town homes
fronting on West Ridge
Drive. At this time the
applicant was proposing
town homes and single
dwellings, but given the
community's concern with
that proposal there were
additional zoning
restrictions which did
not permit town homes
fronting on West Ridge
Drive and I also put a
motion forward altering
the original concept
plan submitted by the
proponent restricting
the development of some
town homes siding onto
West Ridge Drive. In
2008 a proposed plan of
subdivision was for 31
single detached
dwellings. Since this
time the ownership of
the land has changed and
the new owners have
submitted the revised
plan of subdivision for
60 freehold townhomes
and 5 single-detached
homes.
A public meeting on the
revised plan is to be
held on Monday, July 12,
2010 from 7-9 pm at the
Goulbourn Recreation
Complex Hall A located
at 1500 Shea Road in
Stittsville.
