The City’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee today approved zoning and Official Plan amendments to allow for completion of an age-in-place seniors’ campus in the Village of Richmond.
The changes would allow for a variety of housing types geared at seniors within the village, including a low-rise apartment building and a five-storey retirement home at 6139 and 6143 Perth Street. This is the latest phase in an ongoing development that already includes townhouses.
The zoning would change from an institutional to a residential designation, and the Official Plan amendment would permit the residential development to operate on a private communal well water system.
The Committee approved amendments to permit development of the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre – an integrated waste management site with facilities for recovery and recycling, as well as space for a landfill.
The privately run facility would process solid, non-hazardous waste generated by the commercial, industrial, institutional, construction and demolition sectors. Operations would include composting, contaminated soil treatment, landfill gas collection and waste disposal. Their objective is to divert 43 to 57 per cent of waste received from landfill disposal. That would help the City meet its objective to significantly increase diversion of commercial waste. The facility also promises significant employment opportunities, once it is fully operational.
The Province approved this privately run waste management facility on Boundary Road, and the City has no authority to override that approval. Committee discussion focused on defining conditions to mitigate the facility’s impact on the area.
The Committee also discussed a new Site Alteration By-law that would replace the existing Drainage By-law and eight Topsoil Preservation By-laws carried over from former municipalities.
The new by-law aims to reduce the risk of negative impacts by establishing basic rules for site alteration activities like topsoil removal, excavation and grade alteration. In most cases, the by-law would not require landowners to get City approval before proceeding with activities. Residents engaging in common activities like property maintenance, landscaping, farming and woodlot management would be exempt from most of the by-law’s requirements.
The Committee asked City staff to amend a section of the proposed by-law that deals with protecting designated natural environment areas and features, and to limit that section to a zone about two kilometres outside the Urban Boundary. The Committee will consider the revised by-law at a meeting on Thursday, May 3.
Items approved at today’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee meeting will go to City Council on Wednesday, April 11.
