Small-scale manufacturing and food processing businesses can now operate in commercial areas, after City Council today approved zoning changes.
Historically, these uses were restricted to segregated industrial zones with heavy industrial uses that generate noise, pollution and freight traffic. Light manufacturing and food processing businesses, like micro-breweries and craft furniture makers, will now be able to operate in other urban areas. These businesses will also be able to sell their products on-site through a retail or restaurant component while also distributing their products for resale.
Council also approved a zoning amendment to increase opportunities for live music and performance venues, in line with the recently adopted Ottawa Music Strategy. Music venues happen across a wide range of locations and are critical to a city’s cultural scene. With this amendment, live music and theatre will be permitted uses in any place of worship or assembly across the city, as well as permitted accessory uses in commercial stores and restaurants.
There are now revised urban design guidelines for high-rise buildings for developments across Ottawa. These technical guidelines replace an earlier set and reflect local, national and international best practices. While the document does not dictate where high-rises are permitted, these guidelines seek to improve compatibility, livability and public spaces.
Council approved amendments to clarify language in the City’s Water By-law and to update roles and responsibilities. The changes also include ending the Home Dialysis Grant program because the Province now offers a grant that covers 100 per cent of the water and electricity costs related to receiving hemodialysis at home.
The Ottawa Paramedic Service met Council-approved response times in 2017 for emergencies of every acuity level as well as for cases of sudden cardiac arrest, according to the annual report for the service.
The service implemented a variety of strategies to mitigate the increasing volume of calls. Community paramedics conducted proactive home visits to patients with complex medical needs. They also administered flu shots and treated patients outside the emergency department during peak flu season, diverting patients away from paramedic transport to hospital.
Council also received 2017 annual reports for the 9-1-1 service and emergency management. Despite a six-per-cent increase in volume, the Ottawa Police Service answered 98 per cent of the 256,294 calls to 9-1-1 within six seconds. The Office of Emergency Management responded to 79 situations and coordinated the response of City services to several other situations, including the 2017 spring flooding. Corporate Security completed 13 security audits and more than 140 electronic security projects, and rolled out the Protective Measures Program to all staff.
Council approved several commemorative naming proposals. The tennis courts in Russell Boyd Park will now be called the Gabriela Dabrowski Tennis Courts, in recognition of Ms. Dabrowski being the first Canadian female to win a senior Grand Slam title.
Council also approved the Lt. Col. William G. Barker VC Park and the Wing Officer Willa Walker Park commemorative namings, both in Rideau Rockcliffe Ward, along with Joe Messner Boat Launch in Eccolands Park and Ed Laverty Fields in McCarthy Park.
