The City’s Planning Committee today heard about progress on two important projects that are making new suburban communities more liveable, sustainable and affordable by finding efficiencies that reduce costs for construction, maintenance and replacement of infrastructure.
The City launched the Building Better and Smarter Suburbs initiative in 2013 to explore suburban design challenges. City staff highlighted work done in collaboration with Councillors and community stakeholders to address challenges like how to best locate City parks, get more trees on streets and handle stormwater in ways that will better use the land and make new communities more liveable.
Staff also reported on the Infrastructure Standards Review, designed to complement Building Better and Smarter Suburbs. The Committee heard about how the review will result in reduced costs to build and maintain infrastructure in new and existing communities while still meeting standards to ensure public health and safety.
The Committee also approved a Development Charge By-law Amendment. The City’s Development Charges By-law is being updated to reflect changes to the Development Charges Act that took effect in January 2016, related to Public Transit Services.
The approved changes also reflect the settlement of an Ontario Municipal Board appeal concerning the City’s 2014 Development Charges By-law, specifically concerning Roads and Related Services, as well as another related to intersection costs.
Following the Infrastructure Standards Review, the City has revised infrastructure standards that will make the construction and maintenance of new communities more cost-effective.
The Committee approved a proposal for a four-storey painted mural at 261 Montreal Road in Vanier, as well. The mural will be the tallest in Ottawa and will explore themes of diversity, community and inclusion. It will be unveiled later this year as part of a community celebration and to mark Canada’s 150th anniversary.
Most items approved at today’s Planning Committee will go to City Council on Wednesday, May 24, but several, including the mural at 261 Montreal Road, will be before Council on Wednesday, May 10.
