<p><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-CA">Recycling and composting at the park is getting easier. The City is adding three-stream waste bins to 48 parks across Ottawa this year. Most of the new bins are already in place, and the rest will be installed by the end of July.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-CA">The new waste stations include colour-coded recycling, organics and garbage bins, along with clear signs that make it easy to sort your waste, just like at home. </span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-CA">More parks will get three-stream bins over the next few years, with about 350 existing parks scheduled to receive them between 2026 and 2029 as part of the Parks Waste Diversion Strategy. New parks that meet the criteria will have three-stream waste bins from the start.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="EN-CA">When waste is sorted and thrown away properly, parks stay cleaner, attract fewer pests and are more enjoyable for everyone. Please use the bins for waste from your visit. Your picnic scraps belong in the bins, not as a snack for local wildlife. Household waste should be disposed of at home.</span></p>
<hr />
<h1 class="page-title"><span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Des parcs plus propres, un tri plus facile</span></h1>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">Il est maintenant plus facile d’effectuer le recyclage et le compostage dans les parcs. Cette année, la Ville ajoute des bacs de tri sélectif à trois flux dans 48 parcs de ses parcs. La plupart des nouveaux bacs sont déjà en place et les autres le seront d’ici la fin juillet.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">Ces nouvelles stations de collecte des déchets comportent trois bacs de couleurs différentes pour le recyclage, les matières organiques et les autres déchets, et des panneaux clairs pour faciliter le tri des déchets, comme à la maison.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">Des bacs de tri sélectif à trois flux seront installés dans d’autres parcs au cours des prochaines années. Environ 350 parcs existants devraient en recevoir entre 2026 et 2029, conformément à la Stratégie de collecte et de réacheminement des déchets dans les parcs d’Ottawa. Les nouveaux parcs répondant aux critères seront équipés de bacs de tri sélectif à trois flux dès leur ouverture.</span></p>
<p><span dir="ltr" lang="FR-CA">Un tri et une élimination appropriés des déchets permettent de maintenir la propreté des parcs, de réduire la présence d’animaux nuisibles et d’en faire un lieu plus agréable pour tous. Veuillez utiliser les bacs pour vos déchets lors de votre visite. Les restes de votre pique-nique doivent y être jetés pour ne pas servir de nourriture à la faune locale. Les ordures ménagères doivent être éliminées à domicile.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Originally published October 10, 2025</em></p>
<p><em>Updated July 30, 2026, with information related to the Plan of Condominium, below.</em></p>
<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa has received a Zoning By-law Amendment, Plan of Subdivision application, and plan of condominium proposal for the property located at 560 Hazeldean Road, located on the south side of Hazeldean Road, approximately halfway between Terry Fox Road and the future Robert Grant Avenue. It is the current location of the Kevin Haime Golf Centre.</p>
<p>The proposal from Regional Group / EQ Homes is to rezone the site from &#8220;Agricultural, Rural Exception 263&#8221; to permit future residential and non-residential land uses as well as an open space area next to the Carp River.</p>
<p>More information about the proposal is available on the City’s DevApps site:</p>

</ul>
<hr />
<h3>Zoning By-law Amendment</h3>
<p>The Zoning By-law Amendment has been submitted to rezone the lands from Agricultural, Rural Exception 263, to Residential Third Density, Subzone Z – R3Z, Arterial Mainstreet Zone – AM, and Parks and Open Space, Subzone R – O1R.</p>
<p>The Third Density Subzone Z will allow for the development of 98 dwelling units, including 50 detached dwellings and 48 townhouse dwellings.</p>
<p>The Arterial Mainstreet Zone is proposed to apply to the northern portion of the site along Hazeldean, for which a future Site Plan Control application will be submitted to construct a residential/mixed-use development block.</p>
<p>The Open Space is proposed to apply to the eastern portion of the site, abutting the Carp River, and includes a pathway connecting to the existing Carp River pathway to the north.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The City has received a Site Plan Control application from Caivan to build 268 new homes in 13 three-storey stacked townhome buildings. The development is located at the north side of Flewellyn Road within the Stittsville South W-4 lands, one of the new <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-ottawas-urban-boundary-expansion-and-stittsville/">urban expansion areas approved by Council</a> with the New Official Plan.</p>
<p>This proposal is just one part of Caivan’s larger <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/update-6070-fernbank-road-and-5993-and-6115-flewellyn-road-stittsville-south-w-4-official-plan-amendment/">Magnolia development project on the Stittsville South lands</a>. The full subdivision—anticipated to have approximately 1,700 units over 29 developed hectares—is currently going through the City’s planning review process. <a href="https://glengower.ca/information/committee-approves-concept-plan-for-development-of-stittsville-south/">The Official Plan amendment</a> for the development was approved in September 2025 and the<a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D07-16-24-0020/details"> plan of subdivision</a> for a portion of the area was approved this June. The <a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D02-02-24-0042/details">zoning bylaw amendment</a> applications for this site and the entire development are still pending approval.</p>
<p>This land is located entirely within Ward 21 (Rideau-Jock) but given its proximity to Ward 6 (Stittsville) we’re sharing this update for Stittsville residents. We have previously shared<a href="https://glengower.ca/tag/stittsville-south/"> several updates on this file. </a></p>

<hr />
<h3>Site plan</h3>
<p>The subject site is a 2.37 hectare rectangular parcel in the south-western corner of the Stittsville South W4 lands. The applicant is proposing to build a “planned unit development,” which is considered as one lot for zoning purposes. Within the lot would be 13 buildings arranged along six private streets. Each building would contain between 16 and 24 stacked townhouse condominium units for a total of 268 new homes.</p>
<p>Surface parking would be provided at a rate of one space per unit along with 22 visitor spaces, for 290 total. Two access points to the site are proposed to come from a new north-south street that will connect Flewellyn Road with Parade Drive.</p>
<p>The site also contains communal amenity spaces, a waste collection area, and bike parking (0.5 spaces per unit). The tree canopy coverage at 40 years is projected to be 26% of the site.<a href="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/MagnoliaSitePlan.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22274" src="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/MagnoliaSitePlan.png" alt="A site plan showing 13 townhouse buildings on an internal street network" width="976" height="1131" srcset="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/MagnoliaSitePlan.png 976w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/MagnoliaSitePlan-480x556.png 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 976px, 100vw" /></a></p>
<hr />
<h3>What&#8217;s next</h3>
<p>This application has not been approved. City staff will be reviewing the application to ensure it complies with applicable provincial policy and city policy and by-laws. Councillor Glen will also be reviewing this application with his team.</p>
<p>Note that under Bill 109 enacted by the Provincial government in 2022, City Council no longer has the final say on Site Plan Control approvals. Although councillors can provide feedback and comments, the final decision rests with City staff.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Stay informed and provide your feedback</h3>
<p>The site plan control process allows the City to influence land development so that it is safe, functional and orderly. It is also used to ensure that the development standards approved by the City and other agencies are implemented and maintained.</p>
<p>Building location, landscape treatment, pedestrian access, drainage control and parking layout are a few of the items addressed during review. Issues such as building height or building use (residential versus commercial, ownership versus rental, etc.) <strong><em>are not a part of the site plan review.</em></strong></p>
