A Community Design Plan for Mid-Centretown

What is a Community Design Plan?Community Design Plans help shape the evolution of neighbouhoods by directing future growth and guiding development across areas facing significant change.
Implemented through the Official Plan, CDPs are meant to update and/or replace Secondary Plans (current plan from 1976).
CDPs translate the principles and policies of the Official Plan to a community scale and provide guidelines for decision-making on land use planning. CDPs include:• Analysis of existing conditions• Targets for community development (housing, open space, transit access, etc.)• Constraints and Opportunities• Spatial components (land uses, parks, green spaces, transportation corridors, etc.) • Implementation Strategy and Policy Directions
A key objective of process is to build consensus from land owners, the business community, residents and politicians around an updated twenty-year vision for Mid-Centretown.

Directing Growth: TargetsThe Official Plan indicates that by 2031, 265,000 new residents will make Ottawa home.
The plan dictates that at least 40% of new residential growth is to occur in the City’s Urban Area.
This means that a minimum of 53,700 new homes are required in the City’s Urban Area.

The Official Plan indicates that by 2031, 265,000 new residents will make Ottawa home.
The plan dictates that at least 40% of new residential growth is to occur in the City’s Urban Area.
This means a minimum of 53,700 new homes are required in the City’s Urban Area.
The Residential Land Strategy illustrates much greater opportunity in the Urban Area, identifying the potential for 71,250 units by 2031 and up to 122,000 new homes in the longer term.

What is Mid-Centretown?
In 2006, the Mid-Centretown [Kent to Cartier] was home to:• 11,200 residents• 8,450 homes• 19,700 jobs
Mid-Centretown is Growing:• In 2006, employment in Mid-Centretown accounted for 89% of all jobs in Centretown, an increase of 12% since 1981.
• Although population growth stagnated, between 1951 and 2006, the number of homes in Mid-Centretown increased from 4,000 to 8,000
What type of neighbourhood has Mid-Centretown become?An Apartment Neighbourhood. In 1951, 80% of all dwelling units were apartments, in 2006, 96% of all dwelling units were apartments.
![Page 32: Open House #1 June 8, 2010 Final.ppt€¦ · 08/06/2010 · An Open Discussion: Opportunities for Engagement 7 scheduled client / team working sessions 5 scheduled Public Consultation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052003/6016a17ea0faae4aed438243/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What does this tell us about Mid-Centetown?Although part of Centretown…Mid-Centretown is a distinct place:
• How it is used – a growing population and employment hub• How people interact – a higher population density • How people live – 96% of dwellings are in apartments• How it looks – taller, larger buildings, faster streets, urban landscape • How it feels – broad mix of eras and building typologies
The current planning policy framework does not have a category for what Mid-Centretown is today, how it operates, how it is used or how to position it for a successful future.

Ottawa’s Planning Framework
The Official Plan established a new Vision for an amalgamated City.
Provides a city-wide policy framework as a blueprint for where the City wants to be physically, socially and economically in 2021.
The Plan is supported by 13 area-specific Secondary Plans, including Centretown.
Secondary Plans are the most important policy documents to direct change and growth at a neighbourhood level.
Important that plans are current. Municipalities must review their Official Plan and bylaws every five years.
![Page 35: Open House #1 June 8, 2010 Final.ppt€¦ · 08/06/2010 · An Open Discussion: Opportunities for Engagement 7 scheduled client / team working sessions 5 scheduled Public Consultation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052003/6016a17ea0faae4aed438243/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Centretown Secondary Plan
Purpose is to guide future growth and change to:
1. To maintain a residential character2. To safeguard affordable housing
Supplemented with 19 supporting objectives across a variety of themes.

Centretown Secondary Plan
The Centretown Secondary Plan was approved in 1976.
Today, Ottawa as a City - and Centretown as a district - are facing very different planning and community development pressures than those from 35 years ago.
This is especially true for the Mid-Centetown portion of the neighbourhood.
…what does it not say?
![Page 38: Open House #1 June 8, 2010 Final.ppt€¦ · 08/06/2010 · An Open Discussion: Opportunities for Engagement 7 scheduled client / team working sessions 5 scheduled Public Consultation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052003/6016a17ea0faae4aed438243/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
City of Ottawa’s Zoning By-law
The purpose of a zoning by-law is to regulate what you can build on a property.
This is achieved by regulations around permitted uses and a building’s size, height, bulk, density and location on a property.
Adopted most recent Zoning By-law in 2008.
![Page 39: Open House #1 June 8, 2010 Final.ppt€¦ · 08/06/2010 · An Open Discussion: Opportunities for Engagement 7 scheduled client / team working sessions 5 scheduled Public Consultation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052003/6016a17ea0faae4aed438243/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

1 unique and well-defined neighbourhood….…supported by 14 different zoning Land Use classifications.
More than a dozen different height permissions ranging from 14.5m to 37m……many of which are over-ridden by an 11m Heritage Overlay height limit.
A patchwork of ‘split zoning’ in 8 different locations……that support both Height and Density limits.
An important shopping and working hub for the city……but has strong restrictions on active uses like shops, restaurants and offices.
Limited recognition of Kent and O’Connor as special streets …...restricts opportunities for improving their condition.
‘Traditional Main Street’ classification is provided for Bank & and Elgin streets……but not Somerset Street.
Centretown’s Zoning… a Complex Planning Puzzle

Mid-Centretown’s
Zoning …
… is a by-law of Exceptions
140 different zoning areas, with:
110 Exceptionsvs.
30 ‘No Change’
80% of Mid-Centertown
has been changed ad-hoc .

So….The Community Design Plan process is the tool for updating the Zoning By-law and aspects of the Secondary Plan to reflect current community aspirations while creating future opportunities for contemporary urban living and working in Mid-Centretown.

Mid-Centretown supports a large Heritage Overlay (Section 60 of Zoning By-law).
Adopted in 1978, it is an additional layer of planning regulations imposed ‘over’ an area to encourage the retention of existing heritage buildings.
The Heritage Overlay is universal and applies to all Heritage Conservation Districts regardless of their local neighbourhood and streets character
The Overlay enforces 3 rules:
1. where a building is removed it must be rebuilt with the same height, bulk, size, floor area, spacing and in the same location;
2. additions can only be located in a rear yard behind the original building, must maintain the height and slope of the existing roof, are limited to 30% of the gross floor area of the building, and are not permitted to have projections
3. parking requirement are modest.
Centretown’s Zoning… Preserving Heritage
![Page 60: Open House #1 June 8, 2010 Final.ppt€¦ · 08/06/2010 · An Open Discussion: Opportunities for Engagement 7 scheduled client / team working sessions 5 scheduled Public Consultation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052003/6016a17ea0faae4aed438243/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Supporting such a geographically large overlay with such a highly mixed offer of heritage quality and character, creates its own challenges:
34 buildings have been demolished in Centretown since 2001.
27 new buildings have been introduced in Centretown since 2001.
15 cases have been brought before the OMB since 2006.
1 case was won.
Preserving Heritage… with mixed results
