On March 22, approximately 130 people participated in an information session and viewed numerous display boards describing the project. Participants were asked to give their comments on a range of preliminary ideas for the Community Design Plan (CDP) including areas proposed to be rezoned, economic development initiatives and four demonstration plan options for complete street design.

The Residential Fourth Density (R4) family of zones is the city's most intensive low-rise residential zone. R4 zoning covers much of Ottawa's old established low-rise neighbourhoods in the inner urban area, including Centretown, Sandy Hill, Vanier, Overbrook, Hintonburg and Westboro. The R4 Zoning Review will specifically focus on topics that were not covered by the two recent Infill studies or the Residential
Conversions study. In particular, rules governing low-rise multi-unit development will provide for such development to align with current policy directions set out in the Official Plan for stable low-rise mixed residential neighborhoods.
Please provide your comments on the draft recommendations for the R4 study before April 19 . The City plans to bring a report to Planning Committee and Council in fall of 2017. |
