City Council today received an update from Mayor Jim Watson, City Manager Steve Kanellakos and General Manager Anthony Di Monte on the current state of the flooding situation in Ottawa and the City’s response.
Council voted to approve a motion directing staff to come forward with a report for the next Finance and Economic Development Committee to defer the property taxes of homeowners who have been flooded.
Council also today approved a plan for a rebuilt Elgin Street that is designed to balance the needs of pedestrians, drivers and cyclists.
Reconstruction of Elgin Street, Hawthorne Avenue and a small part of Waverley Street is needed to replace watermains and sewers while providing wider sidewalks, new landscaping and a 30-kilometre speed limit. This project will be expedited, with the bulk of major construction work to take place in 2019 in order to minimize the impact on residents and businesses.
Council approved a revised plan to restore Somerset House, the heritage building at the corner of Bank and Somerset streets. The owner’s new plan for this building involves a three-storey expansion, to be situated east of the existing building and facing Somerset Street. The addition is designed in a contemporary style that complements the character of the historic building. Restoration work will involve reconstructing the corner tower, re-installing a north-facing bay window and restoring decorative brick and metal work.
Council also approved the addition of 236 properties to the City’s Heritage Register as part of the Heritage Inventory Project. City Heritage staff are in the process of updating this inventory with all properties across Ottawa that have cultural heritage value. Lowertown and Sandy Hill are the first two communities where the inventory has been completed, with 129 properties identified in Lowertown and 107 in Sandy Hill. These new additions are not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. However, adding them to the Register indicates that they have cultural heritage value.
A commitment for a long-term agreement between the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Art Gallery for the management of the municipal art gallery was approved today by Council. A new, larger home for the Gallery is being built by the City as part of a mixed-use project that includes the redevelopment of Arts Court of a multi-tenant, multi-disciplinary arts facility including a hotel, condo and new learning space for the University of Ottawa.
Council approved the phase out of a program to give property-tax relief to businesses that have vacant properties in the commercial and industrial tax classes. The recommendation followed an extensive discussion with the business community. The program will be phased out over two years.
As well, Council voted to approve the redevelopment of the St. Charles Church in Vanier. The new building for this site will feature commercial and retail space at grade and approximately 55 dwelling units, including ground-oriented dwellings that face Barrette Street, and underground parking.
