A Community Design Plan for Mid-Centretown
![Page 6: MCT Open House #2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/555554c9b4c9052b208b4e84/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is a Community Design Plan?Implemented through the Official Plan, CDPs direct future growth and guiding development across areas facing significant change.
CDPs provide guidelines for decision-making on land use planning at the neighbourhood level, around:
1. Future development2. Urban design3. Parks and open spaces4. Streetscape improvements 5. Zoning 6. Community priorities
Community Design Plans (CDPs) are used to update Secondary Plans.
A key objective of process is to build consensus around an updated twenty-year vision for Mid-Centretown.

Centretown Community Amenities: A Snapshot of Provision Today
![Page 23: MCT Open House #2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/555554c9b4c9052b208b4e84/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Worked with University of Ottawa to prepare a Community Amenities Audit – sets the baseline scenario for the provision of community facilities in Centretown.
Focused on public spaces & facilities that provide community services.
Starting point for understanding existing provision and where gaps exist.
Centretown Community Amenities
![Page 24: MCT Open House #2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/555554c9b4c9052b208b4e84/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Key Findings
As a well-established, central neighbourhood, Centretown is generally well provided for with facilities.
However, Centretown suffers from many of the same deficiencies experienced in other urban communities, such as:
Centretown Community Amenities
community centres … meeting space … local libraries … youth centres…investment in existing facilities…outdoor recreation space…
Findings were reinforced by what we heard from you:
… more park space … more healthy trees … better quality affordable housing … a new local library …. more bike lanes
needed … schools are essential … improvements to rinks, tennis and basketball courts
![Page 25: MCT Open House #2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/555554c9b4c9052b208b4e84/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Section 37
Allows the City to grant additional height and/or density beyond existing permissions in return for ‘community benefits’.
Typically community benefits are cash contributions, but can also be physical facilities.
Community benefits are negotiated between the applicant, the City, the local councilor.
Making It Happen
![Page 26: MCT Open House #2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070315/555554c9b4c9052b208b4e84/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What qualifies as a ‘Community Benefit’?
From City of Ottawa’s Official Plan:
> Cultural facilities
> Public art
> Heritage conservation
> Rental housing conservation
> Affordable housing provision, including land
> Child care
> Improvements to rapid-transit stations
> Artist live-work studios
PLUS…other local improvements identified in community design plans, community improvement plans, capital budgets, or other implementation plans or studies.
Community Benefits

…but could also include:
> Parkland
> Park improvements
> Funding for non-profit arts, community, cultural or institutional facilities
> Streetscape improvements
> Land for municipal purposes
> Funding for the urban forest
> Green technologies
Let us know what ‘community benefits’ are important to Centretown

Moving Centretown: Projects
1. Metcalfe should be converted to two-way
2. Restore grid street system around Museum
3. Safe Crossing Project: Signalized pedestrian crossing should be introduced at intersections along arterial routes.
4. New on-street cycle lanes
5. Pedestrian comfort improvements should be pursued as a priority on Metcalfe, Elgin, Bay, Somerset.
