The City’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee today approved its portion of Draft Budget 2022, which commits $4.4 million to renew rural infrastructure. That funding includes $3 million to renew and replace guiderails and $1.4 million to upgrade rural roads.
When added to funding approved through other Committees, the City’s draft budget invests about $67 million in rural infrastructure, an increase of approximately $25 million compared to the previous year. This includes $10.2 million for rural culverts, $4.1 million for bridge structures, $6.5 million for buildings and parks, including accessibility, and $41.6 million for road resurfacing, road preservation and sidewalk renewal.
The Committee approved zoning measures to relax regulations around the establishment and placement of outdoor commercial patios and outdoor retail pop-up spaces.
The amendment eliminates the minimum separation required between a patio and a residential zone, offering more flexibility for patio operators. Patios within 30 metres of a residential zone, however, would be prohibited from having an amplified sound system and would need to be screened with an opaque structure that is at least two metres tall.
The City adopted these measures on a temporary basis in 2020 to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The measures are set to expire in 2022 and the amendment would make them permanent, in part to help encourage some of the kinds of businesses that will foster 15-minute neighbourhoods across Ottawa, including in rural villages.
The Committee approved a preliminary engineer’s report regarding the Kizell Municipal Drain. The report determined that work to widen and deepen the existing drain, extending it to the Beaver Pond Storm Water Management Facility is feasible. The Committee recommended the City proceed with a final engineer’s report.
Recommendations from today’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee meeting will rise to Council on Wednesday, December 8.
