The Planning and Housing Committee today approved zoning to facilitate development of a six-storey building with space for a community food bank.
The Planning and Housing Committee today approved a zoning amendment to facilitate development of a six-storey building on Arrowsmith Drive, with space for a community food bank.
The Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard (GEFC) has space within the existing building on the site, which would be demolished for the redevelopment. The new building would include space for the GEFC, which will relocate nearby during construction to ensure the food bank continues to operate. The new building would also have 50 rental apartments, including 10 accessible units, all offered at rents that are affordable to low-income and moderate-income households.
The committee also approved a zoning amendment to facilitate development of a two-and-half-storey residential care facility in Hunt Club, on Forestglade Crescent. The proposed facility would include 13 residential units with a total of 30 beds. The amendment would add Residential Care Facility as a permitted use for the site, allowing for greater housing choice within the neighbourhood.
The Committee approved zoning to facilitate the phased development of a residential subdivision east of March Road in Kanata North. The subdivision would include low-rise residential uses, mixed-use blocks, a public park and an elementary school. A total of 827 dwellings are planned, including 354 detached homes and 473 townhouses. The amendment would rezone the property from Rural Countryside to a mix of zones that would accommodate the plan of subdivision.
The Committee also received an update on residential development indicators for Q3 2024 and the year to date. There were 2,500 housing starts in Q3, an increase of more than 72 per cent over the previous quarter. At the end of Q3, construction was underway for more than 14,500 dwellings, including more than 900 not-for-profit units. The City granted land-use permissions via Official Plan and zoning amendments for about 3,550 dwellings in Q3. While that’s 15 per cent below Q2 figures, the City also approved nearly 4,600 dwellings through plans of subdivision or condominium, site plan control and minor variance or severance applications – a 109-per-cent increase over Q2.
By the end of Q3, the City had put applicants in a position to seek building permits for nearly 19,050 dwellings in 2024 and, since tracking began in January 2023, that number totals to nearly 50,200 dwellings. Less than 17 per cent of those (about 8,300 dwellings) had been issued building permits at the end of Q3, leaving more than 42,250 units in the pipeline to be built or to go through further approvals. To help address the housing crisis, Council committed to providing home builders enough opportunities to build 151,000 quality market homes by 2031 – or 15,100 per year. Visit ottawa.ca/residentialdwellings to see a graphic showing quarterly progress towards those targets.
The City will soon replace that static infographic with a new interactive, accessible online housing dashboard. Staff demonstrated the new dashboard at the Committee meeting today, showing how users will be able to access housing data, such as number of housing applications approved and building permits issued. While the housing dashboard will soon be available for public use, the Committee will also continue to receive quarterly reports on housing metrics.
If Council approves, the land-use permissions that the Committee recommended today will help put applicants in a position to build another 923 new dwellings in Ottawa.
Recommendations from today’s meeting will rise to Council on Wednesday, February 26.
