City Council today approved a plan to revitalize the ByWard and Parkdale markets by endorsing the establishment of a Municipal Services Corporation to provide dedicated management and leadership.
The ByWard Market, established in 1826, and the Parkdale Market, established in 1924, are important public markets in Ottawa that have, in recent years, seen a decline in number of vendors, volume of sales and variety of local products. Staff recommended moving forward with a Municipal Services Corporation, which will provide dedicated strategic management in support of a focussed, innovative and entrepreneurial approach to markets management. The expected result is more vendors, greater diversity of local products and services, more customers and sales.
Council approved tax policies for 2017, including the tax ratios that determine the tax share of various property classes, such as residential, commercial, industrial or farm. The City’s Revenue Service recommended adopting ratios for 2017 that generally maintain the existing property tax impact on each property class and prevent shifting of tax burden, especially from commercial and industrial property classes to residential taxpayers.
Council approved two developments in Kitchissippi Ward: a complex of highrise towers on the site of the Westgate Shopping Centre and a mixed-use tower where the Trailhead Paddle Shack used to be, at 1960 Scott Street in Westboro. At Westgate, located at 1309 Carling Avenue, RioCan Management plans to transform this property into a mixed-use area with five towers. On Scott Street, the 22-storey mixed-use building proposed would feature retail on the ground floor, as well as office space and 149 residential units in the remainder of the building, which will be 110 metres from Westboro Station.
A new place of worship and community centre for the Salvation Army, at 102 Bill Leathem Drive in Barrhaven, was approved by Council.
Council approved zoning amendments to allow farmers’ markets to be operated by the Ottawa Farmers’ Market Association in three communities:
Council approved a policy for allowing the posting of a speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour on existing roadways, but only where the lower limit meets traffic management best practices and supports the safety of vulnerable road users.
An On-Street Parking Regulation Change Policy, approved by Council today, will establish a consistent process to change neighbourhood parking rules and ensure public consultation takes place before any change is made.
Council also received the year-end report on Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, an update on the City of Ottawa Municipal Accessibility Plan, the 2016 Information Management and City of Ottawa Archives Annual Report and the Annual Report of the Board of Health.
