| An e-newsletter featuring planning projects and upcoming public
consultations. |
 It is with great enthusiasm I am authoring the first ever Community Spotlight Article. The Planning and Growth Management Department is reserving this column just for you.
As Chair of Planning Committee, I see on a daily basis how involved you are as a community in our city and specifically in the matters of planning. What the Department and I would love to hear is your ideas and thoughts on how to manage growth in Ottawa. We are launching a Residents' Roundtable with the first meeting being on Saturday November 7, 2015 at City Hall. This column is hoped to serve as another tool to highlight all your thoughts to an interested audience.
Our city is changing fast. LRT is coming, the suburbs are maturing and we are seeing intensification throughout the city. We, each and every one of us, have the ability to make it great! I believe that through the rules of planning and community involvement we have the tools to continue to build an exciting, prosperous city. So get your thinking caps on – we want your ideas on projects, developments and creative planning initiatives. I know, for sure, I am going to open my newsletter each month, eager to read your column.

 The Urban Forest Management Plan Study started with a celebratory launch on September 23, 2015. About 200 residents
participated in an evening devoted to learning more about urban trees and discussed the importance and challenges of urban forest management. The Study will take approximately 18 months to complete. |
Check out the Uptown Rideau Community Design Plan and Secondary Plan now available for review and comment. To be included in the staff report to Council, have your comments in by October 8, 2015. Uptown Rideau is envisioned as a vibrant downtown mainstreet and entry way to the City's central area and Parliamentary District. With these new documents the City is recommending new policies for things like building heights, urban parks, and publically owned accessible spaces.
Can you build a Coach House? Well, maybe. Read our Secondary Dwelling Unit discussion paper and answer our questionnaire before October 19,
2015.
Where should you be able to park your car? The Minimum Parking Requirements project is asking that very question. Our first discussion paper is online; our second paper – complete with recommendations for the Zoning By-law, will be available by October 21, 2015. Read what others have had to say so far.
What's up with Preston Street Traditional Mainstreet Study? You have until October 11, 2015 to review the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law amendments for these two blocks in the heart of Little Italy. Read what others have to say and send your comments today. |
 Riverside South could be in for some new features, including a new location for the second Park and Ride and changes to the multi-use pathway network. Read what's being proposed for their Community Design Plan update. Staff are scheduled to present the final plan to Council in November 2015. |
Ever wondered who and what makes up the Ward you live in? Things like total population, how old we are, how many households, family types, language, mobility, education and ethnicity? Wonder no more! You can find all these things and more reading the 2011 Census and National Household Survey. |
 Do you have an idea to transform a parking spot into a vibrant public space? The city will accept applications for their Streetside spots pilot program from October 5 to December 7, 2015. |
