PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa The Subject Prperty directly abuts the University f Ottawa s main campus bundary and enjys clse prximity t the Mint Sprts Cmplex. It is als within walking distance t the Rideau Centre, the Byward Market and Ottawa s dwntwn cre. The surrunding area t the nrth and east is predminantly residential in character with much f it being tailred t the ff campus husing needs f University f Ottawa students. There are 3 and 3 ½ strey residential buildings alng the west side f Hendersn further nrth. The Sandy Hill Park and Cmmunity Centre is lcated a shrt distance t the east and in the sutheast is the St. Germaine Park. On the suth side f Templetn Street are several single unit residences. These residences back directly nt the Mint Sprts Cmplex ftball field (Exhibit D Air and Street View Phts). The Sprts Cmplex is a significant develpment with indr and utdr recreatinal facilities t service students and the area s residents. Hwever the Sprts Cmplex als subjects abutting residences t nise and fldlighting during games and practices. In recent years, the junctin f Hendersn Avenue and Templetn Street has witnessed the erectin f several new larger scaled buildings. Immediately acrss frm the Subject Prperty, the five-stry Centre fr Advanced Phtnics and Envirnmental Analysis (CAPEA) with a grss flr area f 4,013 m 2 was cmpleted in 2013. It is lcated n a parcel f land that is bunded by Hendersn Avenue, Templetn Street and King Edward Avenue. The CAPEA is an extensive structure that huses high technlgy labratries. The Hendersn Residence, the newest residence fr the University f Ottawa was cmpleted in 2015. The fur-strey residence is lcated next t the CAPEA and huses 172 first year residents. It des nt cntain a cafeteria. It is envisaged that essentially all f these residents will nt have private autmbiles and as such will need sme basic services that may nt be prvided within their residence. Bth sites are lcated immediately acrss frm the Subject Prperty and set precedence fr mdern architecture, increased density and demnstrate/cntribute t a need fr mre amenities t be integrated int the neighburhd t service nearby site users. In the wider neighburhd, there has been an influx f a number f new residential buildings, many pushing the envelpe fr maximum size and dwelling units thrugh cnventinal and uncnventinal means. The result is sme general cncerns raised by area residents thrugh the lcal cmmunity assciatin, Actin Sandy Hill, when new develpment prjects are advanced. Furthermre, the City f Ottawa recently apprved f a pilt prject that allws members f the cmmunity assciatin t participate in the frmal pre-applicatin cnsultatin meeting/prcess that the prpnents g thrugh when advancing a develpment applicatin. As such, fr this particular prject, such a meeting was held n Nvember 9, 2016 fllwing an initial infrmal discussin with a member f the CA in Octber 2016. 3

PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa Inclusive Design Presently, the Subject Site is lcated in a neighburhd that is zned fr purely residential land uses. The Prpsed Develpment has been designed t prvide a seamless transitin between the immediate residential neighburhd t the nrth and east and the University f Ottawa institutinal uses t the suth and west. The Prpsed Develpment prvides high quality husing ptins that is in line with the desired residential uses fr the area. It als intrduces a nn-residential grund flr that includes a fd curt t service the needs f bth residents and the immediate neighburhd. The Prpsed Develpment will enjy pedestrian cnnectins t bth Hendersn Avenue and Templetn Street, as illustrated by Exhibit F. These walkways will be finished with paving stnes r brushed cncrete t be determined thrugh the site plan applicatin prcess. Adequate building and site lighting will prvide illuminatin in the evening hurs t ensure a safe envirnment while respecting the City s lighting plicy.

PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa II Planning and Plicy Cntext 1 Prvincial Plicy Statement ( PPS ) The PPS is issued under the authrity f Sectin 3 f the Planning Act. It prvides directin n matters f prvincial interest related t land use planning and develpment, and prmtes the prvincial plicy-led planning system. Accrding t the PPS, the visin fr Ontari s land use planning system is t carefully manage land t ensure apprpriate develpment t satisfy current and future needs. In additin, land planning must prmte efficient develpment patterns, which prmte a mix f husing, emplyment, pen spaces and multimdal transprtatin. The PPS ultimately aims t encurage cmmunities that are ecnmically strng and envirnmentally sund and that fster scial wellbeing. The PPS sets a time hrizn f up t 20 years during which time there shuld be a sufficient supply f land fr husing, emplyment pprtunities and ther uses t meet the demand f cmmunities. The supply f land is t be cntrlled thrugh three mechanisms: redevelpment, intensificatin and designatin f grwth areas. The PPS defines residential intensificatin as intensificatin f a prperty, site r area which results in a net increase in residential units r accmmdatin. The Prvincial Plicy Statement fcuses grwth within settlement areas which are defined as urban areas and rural settlement areas within municipalities (such as cities, twns, villages and hamlets) that are built up areas where develpment is cncentrated and which have a mix f land uses; and lands which have been designated in an fficial plan fr develpment ver the lng term planning hrizn. 2 City f Ottawa Official Plicies 2.1 City f Ottawa Official Plan (the OP ) The City cnducted a review f its Official Plan and Cuncil adpted Official Plan Amendment N. 150 ( OPA 150 ) in 2013. A number f appeals have been filed with the Ontari Municipal Bard n OPA 150 that have nt been reslved at the time f this reprt. While OPA 150 is nt in full frce and effect, develpment prpsals need t cnsider the City s intended plicy directin in OPA 150. Under OPA 150, the Subject Prperty maintains the General Urban Area designatin (Exhibit H). The General Urban Area is a brad land use designatin that permits a range f husing types as well as retail, service, emplyment, leisure, entertainment and institutinal uses. The fllwing are the key plicies f the General Urban Area as they relate t the Subject Prperty and the Prpsed Develpment: All types and densities f husing are permitted; Prpsals fr residential intensificatin shall enhance and build upn desirable established patterns and built frm; A full range f husing fr a variety f demgraphic prfiles shuld be maintained; 10
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa Semi-detached and ther grund-riented multi-unit husing is the desired predminant frm f develpment; Develpment applicatins will be assessed in accrdance with Sectins 2.5.1 and 4.11 in rder t ensure apprpriate and inviting urban design and cmpatibility. Objective criteria such as height, bulk r mass, building/lt relatinships (setbacks), access and parking can be used t evaluate cmpatibility. Exhibit H - Official Plan Designatin Official Plan plicies with respect t the review f develpment applicatins fr infill develpment in the General Urban Area are mre specifically addressed in the Urban Design Guidelines fr Lw-rise Infill Husing (May 2012). These guidelines are intended t facilitate the implementatin f the plicies f the OP. One f the key bjectives in any new develpment is t create a place that is safe, accessible and is easy t get t, and mve thrugh. Accrdingly, the design guidelines address nt nly building design but streetscapes and landscaping features. The Urban Design Guidelines fr Lw-rise Infill Husing address the ntin that residential intensificatin and cmpact develpment patterns prvide benefits t the cmmunity, including: Mre efficient use f existing infrastructure and cmmunity facilities; Reduced expense n entirely new infrastructure and transit systems; Lwer energy requirements fr transprtatin due t reduced autmbile travel and mre pprtunities fr public transprt, walking and cycling; Reduced cmmuting time and stress n the envirnment; Mre cmpact develpment patterns prtect greenspace; Reduced rate f encrachment n undevelped areas; Reduced water cllectin csts in clustered and mre dense develpment; Lwer water treatment csts with larger treatment plants serving mre hmes; 11
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa Mixed dwelling types encurage peple t stay in the same cmmunity, as their husing needs change. King Edward Avenue is designated as an Existing Arterial rad n the Inner City Rad Netwrk (Schedule F f the OP). Schedule K t the OP des nt identify any envirnmental cnstraints fr the Subject Prperty. The intended develpment cnfrms t the City f Ottawa Official Plan plicies cntained within Vlume 1. 2.2 Sandy Hill Secndary Plan The Subject Prperty is lcated within the area f the Sandy Hill Secndary Plan (the Secndary Plan ) where it is designated Lw Prfile Residential (Exhibit I). The Sandy Hill cmmunity is bunded by Besserer Street t the nrth; the Rideau River t the east, the Queensway and the Hendersn Street ff-ramp t the suth, Nichlas Street, the Rideau Canal and a line jining the tw t the west, and Laurier Avenue and King Edward Avenue t the nrthwest. Exhibit I - Sandy Hill Secndary Plan Land Use The main bjectives f the Secndary Plan are: T preserve and enhance Sandy Hill as an attractive residential neighburhd, especially fr family living; T prvide fr a brad range f sci-ecnmic grups; T accept a mdest increase in ppulatin, primarily as a way f husing sme f the grwth in the Central Area labur frce. 12
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa The Secndary Plan als acknwledges the cmmercial and institutinal functins f Sandy Hill that serves a wider area, such as the mainstreet mixed use area alng Rideau Street and the University f Ottawa. The purpse f the Residential Land Use designatin, as referred t in the Secndary Plan is: T preserve and enhance the existing stck f gd husing; T distinguish amng types f new husing n the basis f scale, and t lcate the different types in areas apprpriate t them; T prvide a wide variety f husing, including accmmdatin fr lw-incme peple, the elderly, the handicapped and thers with special needs; T permit public uses that cmplement the residential nes in type and intensity; and The Secndary Plan als sets ut certain site develpment criteria, which are relevant t the Prpsed Develpment: T ensure that the scale, frm, prprtin and spatial arrangement f new develpment cause minimal intrusin n the sunlight, air and aspect enjyed by existing adjacent develpment. Wherever pssible, such new develpment shall cntribute t the verall physical envirnment; T ensure that new develpment shall prvide fr internal and external n-site amenity areas; T enhance develpment with landscaping, especially fr parking and lading areas and as a buffer between dissimilar land uses; T ensure that new infill develpment alng the eastern side f King Edward Avenue is f a scale that transitins dwn frm the larger university buildings t the smaller residential buildings f Sandy Hill. It is imprtant t nte that a site-specific amendment t the Residential Land Use plicies f Sectin 5.3.2 a. f the Sandy Hill Secndary Plan was intrduced in 2015. This amendment expanded the list f permitted uses n a particular site t include institutinal and cmmercial as well as residential uses n a sequence f cntiguus parcels. This is precisely what the Prpsed Develpment aims t achieve. Thrugh an Official Plan Amendment, this prject aims t intrduce a suitable, nn-intensive cmmercial use in the frm f a fd curt/restaurant that wuld benefit the residents f the building, students destined t and frm the University f Ottawa campus and the adjacent residential cmmunity. Exhibit J indicates that Templetn Street is designated as bth a Pedestrian Netwrk and a Bicycle Netwrk. Templetn Street is currently serviced n bth sides by sidewalks and nstreet bicycle linkages. These plicies/existing infrastructure assist in prviding the ratinale fr the intended develpment. 13
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa Exhibit J - Sandy Hill Secndary Plan: Pedestrian and Bicycle Netwrk With the intrductin f the mix f uses within the prpsed building, this requires an amendment t the Sandy Hill Secndary Plan, hence the need fr the Official Plan Amendment. 2.3 City f Ottawa Urban Design Guidelines fr Lw-rise Infill Husing The City f Ottawa has established a set f Urban Design Guidelines fr Lw-rise Infill Husing in rder t guide the physical layut, massing, functining and relatinships f infill buildings. Well-designed infill husing shuld be cmpatible with the existing landscape, raise the value f the infill develpment itself and increase densities apprpriately. These guidelines are applied t all infill develpment under the OP s General Urban land use designatin. The Urban Design Guidelines utline several bjectives, including: Enhance streetscapes; Prvide new husing designs that ffer variety, quality and a sense f identity; Emphasize frnt drs and windws rather than garages; Create at grade living spaces that prmte interactin with the street. The Guidelines als intrduce several benefits f intensificatin, including: Mre efficient use f existing infrastructure and cmmunity facilities; Reduced expense n entirely new infrastructure and transit systems; Lwer energy requirements fr transprtatin due t reduced autmbile travel and mre pprtunities fr public transprt, walking and cycling; Mixed dwelling types encurage peple t stay in the same cmmunity, as their husing needs change. It is ur view that mre pprtunity exists t intrduce strng architectural design fr the prpsed single building rather than the three individual buildings that were previusly apprved fr the subject prperties. Therefre, the Prpsed Develpment takes int cnsideratin the principles utlined in the Urban Design Guidelines fr Lw-rise Infill Husing and applies them t the prpsed architectural design. 14

The Prpsed Develpment prvides 278m 2 f cmmunal amenity area with 115m2 prvided as cmmunal n the grund flr. Parking As the Subject Prperty lies in Area X f Schedule 1A, the parking requirements include the fllwing prvisins: In the case f a building cntaining residential uses, n ff-street mtr vehicle parking is required t be prvided under this sectin fr the first twelve dwelling units and the parking requirements under Table 101 apply nly t dwelling units and rming units in excess f 12. The By-law als sets ut the requirements fr visitr parking spaces based n Table 102. The prvisins include: Within Area X, n visitr parking spaces are required fr the first twelve dwelling units n a lt. The Prpsed Develpment is als required t prvide parking spaces fr users f the nnresidential use under the general parking prvisins. Hwever, it is ur intent t apply fr a Zning Amendment t include the Residential Neighburhd Cmmercial Suffix. As a part f the Suffix prvisins, parking fr nn-residential uses is permitted. This prvisin supersedes the requirements utlined in Sectin 101 f the Zning By-law. Therefre, parking fr nnresidential uses have nt been included in the fllwing parking calculatins. The City f Ottawa encurages undergrund parking in rder t minimize disturbance t pedestrian flw. Sectin 101 f the Zning By-law states that: where all parking spaces prvided r required fr a permitted land use are lcated belw grade in the same building as that land use, the parking required by Table 101 fr that land use may be reduced by the lesser f: 10 per cent f the required parking spaces; r 20 parking spaces 18

The Prpsed Develpment meets the required number f vehicular parking spaces. Furthermre, due t the prime lcatin f the subject site and its prximity t the University Campus, Dwntwn and the future LRT statin, residents are likely t use alternative frms f transprtatin such as cycling and public transit. The develpment takes this int cnsideratin and have prvided ample bicycle parking fr residents (undergrund parking) and visitrs (utdr rack) t encurage active transprtatin. 19

Sectin 139 utlines the prvisins fr the Mature Neighburhd Overlay. Althugh the Subject Site is lcated within a Mature Neighburhd Overlay area, the perfrmance standards are mainly applicable t residential dwellings and nt t mixed-used buildings like the prpsed develpment. The prvisins that are applicable are as fllws: In the case f an apartment dwelling, lw-rise, stacked dwelling, apartment dwelling, midrise r apartment dwelling, high-rise with mre than 12 dwelling units, the parking required is calculated based n the ttal number f dwelling units, excluding the first 12 dwelling units.

The purpse f the suffix is t: regulate develpment in a manner that is cmpatible with existing land use patterns s that the residential character f a neighburhd is maintained r enhanced; allw a variety f small, lcally-riented cnvenience and service uses that cmplement adjacent residential land uses, and are f a size and scale cnsistent with the needs f nearby residential areas; prvide cnveniently lcated nn-residential uses predminantly accessible t pedestrians, cyclists and transit users frm the surrunding residential neighburhd; and prvide cnveniently lcated nn-residential uses predminantly accessible t pedestrians, cyclists and transit users frm the surrunding residential neighburhd; and Permitted nn-residential uses based n the suffix are: artist studi cnvenience stre instructinal facility medical facility persnal service business restaurant retail fd stre retail stre Specific t the Prpsed Develpment s grund flr fd curt/restaurant, the fllwing prvisins must be met: A restaurant use must: be ancillary t and lcated in the same building as anther permitted nn-residential use; and, nt have any assciated seating area within the building exceed 15 square metres. A permitted nn-residential use may nly be lcated n the grund flr, basement, r bth f a residential use building; Despite the definitin f residential use building, a nn-residential use is permitted within a residential use building, and where a nn-residential use is included within a residential use building, the type f dwelling applicable t the building shall be determined based n the number f and cnfiguratin f the dwelling units; The cumulative ttal f all nn-residential uses in a building must nt exceed a grss flr area f 100 square metres, except in the case f a semi-detached r twnhuse dwelling, where the maximum f 100 square metres applies t each principal dwelling unit; Despite sectin 101, n parking spaces are permitted in assciatin with a nn-residential use, hwever mtr vehicles may be parked in a driveway leading t a parking space assciated with the dwelling; Sectin 85 des nt apply, and an utdr cmmercial pati is permitted subject t the fllwing: it is lcated n a crner lt; 21

(By-law 2015-197) Out f the prvisins listed abve, the Prpsed Develpment des nt cmply with tw prvisins. First, the cumulative ttal f nn-residential uses exceed the 100 m 2 maximum. The current G.F.A f the fd curt/restaurant is 218 m 2. Secnd, the utdr pati exceeds the maximum area f 10 m 2, at 54 m 2. As stated, the intrductin f small, lcally-rientated cnvenience and services uses wuld cmplement the adjacent residential uses and be limited in size f a prtin f the grund flr flrplan nly. The building/structure will cntinue t respect the character f the neighburhd that has been evlving thrugh many f the recent residential infill prjects, the new uottawa residence and the CAPEA building acrss the street. Therefre, the Residential Neighburhd Cmmercial Suffix is highly apprpriate and desirable fr the Prpsed Develpment. There are n ther current zning prvisins that are relevant t the applicatin fr zning bylaw amendment t implement the Prpsed Develpment plan. III Planning Analysis 1 Cnsistency with PPS It is ur pinin that the prpsed Zning By-law amendment will facilitate the develpment f the Subject Prperty in a manner that is cnsistent with the intent f the brad plicies in the PPS. The Prpsed Develpment cntemplates residential intensificatin and redevelpment in a settlement area that will prvide the neighburhd with an apprpriate frm f husing and cnvenience retail that is an efficient use f land, resurces, public service facilities and infrastructure. 2 Cnsistency with the OP The General Urban Area permits the frm f husing that is being prpsed by the Applicant and assists in achieving the grwth management and husing stck plicies in the OP. The OP prvides that grund riented multiple husing are a desirable means f intensifying within established lw-rise residential cmmunities; and while we wuld acknwledge that the Prpsed Develpment may be cnsidered a deviatin frm grund-riented develpment, it is nnetheless cmpatible as it fits within the fabric and character f the area, especially with the new lw-rise apartment dwelling lcated acrss frm the Subject Prperty, and will nt cause undue adverse impact n surrunding prperties. In ur pinin it will enhance the cmmunity by ffering a frm f apartment husing and cnvenience nn-residential that is in shrt supply. 22
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa In terms f the assessment f the Prpsed Develpment in the cntext f Sectins 2.5.1 and 4.11 f the OP, the scale f the prject is apprpriate especially in light f the rapidly evlving built frm alng King Edward Avenue and the west side f Hendersn Avenue. Further evaluatin f the specific design f the building will be undertaken and is apprpriate at the Site Plan Cntrl applicatin stage f the apprval prcess. Furthermre, walkways have been designed such that there is a seamless integratin f the pedestrian walkways frm the private entrances t each f the street frntages that are enjyed by the Prpsed Develpment. The lighting f the walkway arund the Subject Prperty will be designed in a manner that minimizes light spillage. The Prpsed Develpment is neither a disturbing r nxius use and adverse impacts are cnsequently nt expected in this regard. While the Prpsed Develpment prvides bth indr and utdr amenity areas, the lcatin f the Subject Prperty is within a shrt walking distance t Saint Germaine Park and the recreatinal trails that hug the banks f the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal. As well, given the demgraphic f the prspective tenant base f the Prpsed Develpment, it is reasnable t assume that the recreatinal facilities and amenity areas at the University f Ottawa campus will be an exciting additin t the n-site amenity areas at the Subject Prperty. Other scial/cmmunity activities will take place in the Sandy Hill Cmmunity Centre lcated nearby the Subject Prperty. The prpsed develpment will include sufficient undergrund parking as well as a secure bicycle strage area fr bth residents f this structure and ptentially ther users in the area that is underserved by daily parking. In additin t this, the fd curt cmpnent n the grund flr prvides a cnvenience pprtunity fr area residents, including thse residing in the Hendersn Residence acrss the street t find suitable fd service. Furthermre, the Subject Prperty enjys an urban lcatin that is well serviced by pedestrian walkways and prximity t an extensive rapid transit netwrk. A limited amunt f n-street parking is als available in the immediate neighburhd. The Applicant has engaged prfessinals t prduce the necessary reprts and studies addressing issues such as traffic and shadwing in rder t ensure that adverse impacts in relatin t existing develpments are minimized. 3 Cnsistency with the Sandy Hill Secndary Plan The prpsed zning amendment is entirely cnsistent with the intent f lw-prfile residential land use designatin f the Subject Prperty in the Secndary Plan, certainly in massing and design. The Applicant is cgnizant f the cncern that the Prpsed Develpment shuld be f a scale and design that is cmplementary t the area and accrdingly the Applicant will respect the recmmendatin f the reprts and studies that are cmmissined in supprt f the applicants fr fficial plan and zning by-law amendment and fr site plan cntrl. The prpsed building height is a minr deviatin frm the current maximum height limit under the existing zning, while still respecting the maximum number f flrs defined in a lw-rise residential use. The intrductin f the nn-residential cmpnent is cnsistent with the new directin t intrduce cnvenience nn-residential uses in established neighburhds t reduce the dependency n vehicles fr lnger trips fr cnvenience gds and services. 23
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa It is ur pinin that the Prpsed Develpment will enhance the existing stck f husing in the area in a manner that satisfies the demand fr nn-grund rientated husing units that will be well integrated int the fabric f the area which is well suited due t strng pedestrian and public transprtatin systems. 4 Cnsistency with the Zning By-law The current zning recgnizes the intended built frm. The marginal exceeding f the maximum building height is necessitated due t the grund flr nn-residential use and lading bay that results in a required flr t ceiling height that when cmbined with a standard flr t ceiling height fr residential uses, results in a building height greater than what is currently envisaged by the Zning. This small increase will be mitigated by the presence f the similar height buildings lcated immediately acrss Hendersn Avenue as well as by the tpgraphy f Hendersn Avenue which slpes dwn dramatically frm the nrth t the Subject Prperty. The height f the prpsed building will nt be ut f character with the height f buildings lcated nrth f the site. Exhibit L demnstrates the permitted heights f buildings in n the west side f Hendersn Avenue. This assists in demnstrating that the Prpsed Develpment height is indeed cmpatible with the existing and permitted land use patterns in the area. 24
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa Exhibit L - Permitted Heights (Hendersn Avenue West Side) 25
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa The established built frm fabric in the surrunding area des nt generally meet the required building setbacks. The type f tenure in the surrunding residential area is f mainly rental accmmdatins used substantially by students that d nt wn private vehicles. The amenity space prvisins are intended t prvide fr sme amunt f private amenity when desired. In the case f the Subject Prperty and intended develpment, the ccupants will likely have easy access t University and public facilities in the lcal area that augments thse lcated n site. The City recently cmpleted a study n intrducing limited cnvenience cmmercial uses int established residential areas. It is ur view that since the subject prperty was nt identified fr study, it was nt included in the areas that were subsequently rezned. It is ur planning pinin that the lcatin and ther attributes described abve cnclude that it is an extremely suitable candidate fr the intrductin f such nn-residential uses. As such, a zning amendment t the current R4H[480] is required t address the fllwing prvisins: Maximum permitted height Minimum frnt, crner side and interir side yard setbacks Alternate Urban Area Setback fr the interir side yard Maximum permitted number f units in a single building Permitted Nn-residential uses thrugh the Residential Neighburhd Cmmercial Suffix Maximum permitted utdr pati space Maximum area fr nn-residential use 5 Integratin with the UOttawa Master Plan The UOttawa Master Plan delineates the west side f Hendersn Avenue, acrss frm the Subject Site as Mid-Prfile Residential, which allws fr a maximum f 380 beds. The Prpsed Develpment integrates with the UOttawa Master Plan s streetscape and prvides fr a variety f husing that cmplement the University s plans as sme will likely be rented by students. Furthermre, the Prpsed Develpment is in line with the UOttawa Master Plan s gals f creating a street netwrk that accmmdates all types f mbility including walking, cycling, driving and public transit. The Prpsed Develpment is serviced by sidewalks and is situated in an ideal lcatin that allws future residents t seamlessly cnnect with the University s pedestrian and pathway netwrks. The Prpsed Develpment als includes extensive prvisins fr bicycle strage t encurage active transprtatin and allw residents t take advantage f their prximity t nt just the University, but the Byward Market and Ottawa s Dwntwn cre via the Crkstwn bridge ver the Rideau Canal. 6 Incrpratin f Gd Urban Design Principles fr Lw-rise Infill Develpment The Prpsed Develpment adheres t many f the gd urban design principles utlined in the Urban Design Guidelines fr Lw-rise Infill Develpment. With active frntages n tw sides, the Prpsed Develpment will enhance the streetscape by utilizing glazing n bth Hendersn Avenue and Templetn Street t fster an inviting, safe and accessible streetscape by emphasizing the grund flr and street façade f infill buildings. The Develpment als prvides fr pedestrian scale, dwnward facing lighting that cntributes t safety and visibility, while minimizing spillage nt neighburing prperties. 26
PLANNING RATIONALE: Hendersn Blck, Ottawa Additinally, the Prpsed Develpment takes int accunt the applicable guidelines fr Building Design. The Prpsed Develpment hlds t a high standard, particularly alng the sides f the building frnting nt public streets by aviding large blank walls and incrprating extensive glazing fr an integrated and cntinuus grund flr design. The Develpment als eliminates the need fr surface parking at the site by incrprating an undergrund garage t service residents with vehicles and bicycles. The entrance and exit ramp will be paved with different material than the walkways t highlight pedestrian accesses t address safety/cnflict cncerns. In additin, the building wall will have a view screen fr exiting vehicles t see pedestrians and the intersectin f Templetn/Hendersn. 7 Cmpliance with Slid Waste Cllectin Guidelines Multi-Unit Residential Develpment The grund flr/site plan fr the Prpsed Develpment depicts the integratin f the service elements (lading areas, garbage and recycling strage int the design f the building s that they are nt visible frm the street and/r adjacent public spaces. It generally cmplies with the guidelines laid ut fr lw-rise multi-unit residential buildings. In additin, by prviding an indr, full-service garbage dispsal and recycling rm, the Prpsed Develpment will help enhance the general aesthetic and cleanliness f the Sandy Hill neighburhd by eliminating the need fr utdr garbage bins which are susceptible t spillage and verflw. This is a significant advantage ver the previus develpment that cntained 3 individual buildings that culd nt practically cntain internal refuse rms fr each building and hence had exterir refuse areas in the rear yards abutting adjacent residential dwellings. 8 Required Studies and Technical Material Frm the pre-cnsultatin with the City f Ottawa, and the fllw-up email with revised Identificatin List received n December 16, 2016, the fllwing studies have been cmpleted in supprt f the required applicatins fr Official Plan Amendment, Zning By-law Amendment, and Site Plan Cntrl: Assessment f Adequacy f Public Services / Site Servicing Study / Brief Getechnical Study Transprtatin Overview Strmwater Management Reprt Planning Ratinale Design Brief Phase 1 Envirnmental Site Assessment Tree Cnservatin Reprt (cmbined with Landscape Plan) The Applicant has engaged prfessinals t prepare the required reprts and the required technical plans that have been submitted in supprt f the applicatins fr the Zning By-law Amendment, Site Plan Cntrl and OPA Amendment.
