										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About 40 people joined us on Saturday for the annual Jane’s Walk on Stittsville Main Street. It was part of the <a href="https://www.janeswalkottawa.ca/">Ottawa Jane’s Walk Festival</a> with dozens of free walking tours happening all over Ottawa (and many more happening around the world).</p>
<p>This year’s walk focused on the history, present state, and future of the street, and how it has transformed from “string town” to suburb. I’ve been leading this walk since 2016, and over ten years I’ve seen a lot of change on the street: Several new buildings, a lot of new businesses, new LED streetlamps, a new public square.</p>
<p>After ten years, it’s a good opportunity to take stock of where we’ve been, and where we may be going.</p>

<h3>Stittsville&#8217;s origin story</h3>
<p>Indigenous people have lived in our area for millennia. There’s no direct evidence that they settled or travelled on what’s now Stittsville Main Street*, but their presence in the area is well-established. In 2006, during the construction of Holy Spirit Parish 1,200 metres away at Shea and Abbott, <a href="https://ottawacornwall.ca/news/a-celebration-of-the-land-in-stittsville-at-holy-spirit-church/">archeologists discovered over 800 artifacts dating back 9,000 years</a>.</p>
<p><em>(*I have no idea when the street was first referred to as “Main Street”. It started being known as “Stittsville Main Street” sometime around the municipal amalgamation in 2000. Throughout this article I’ve used modern street names for clarity, although several streets have had different names over the years.)</em></p>
<p>The first settler surveys in this area were done around 1817 when it was largely swamp and forest. The road that would become “Stittsville Main Street” left the military settlement of Richmond and forged northward, staying fairly straight save for a few curves to avoid low, swampy areas. The road would intersect with another road (now Hazeldean Road) that crossed the northern end of <a href="https://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/searchmapframes.php">Goulbourn Township</a> from east to west, between the 11<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup> concessions.</p>
<p>From that crossroads, you could have headed south to Richmond, north to Carp, east to Hazeldean and Bells Corners, or west to Carleton Place. Up sprang a small settlement at around 1820 around the triangle bounded today by Stittsville Main Street, Hazeldean Road, and Carp Road.  By the 1840s this settlement was known as “Stitts Corners”. Jackson Stitt became the settlement’s first postmaster in 1854.</p>
<h3>The Great Fire blazes a new course</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/150-years-ago-on-august-17-old-stittsville-was-swept-up-in-the-great-fire-of-carleton-county/">Great Fire of August 1870</a> would change everything. On a windy day in the middle of a hot, dry summer, workers clearing the brush between Almonte and Pakenham for a new railway sparked a fire that devastated much of Carleton County. Almost everything in Stittsville was destroyed, save for a few stone buildings including two that still stand today: <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/susannah-kemp-a-pioneer-of-historic-significance-to-stittsville/">Kemp’s Tavern</a> (now Cabotto’s on Hazeldean Road) and the <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/the-home-of-patrick-and-mary-hartin-on-maple-grove/">little stone cottage</a> on Maple Grove Road in Fairwinds.</p>
<p>The railway eventually was completed, following what’s now the Trans Canada Trail, along with a train station in Stittsville just east of the main road – now the site of Village Square Park. The centre of Stittsville shifted from the old “Stitts Corners” towards the train station, and a number of shops, hotels, and local businesses sprang up in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century and early 20<sup>th</sup> centuries.</p>
<h3>A “string town”</h3>
<p>It’s hard to imagine from today’s perspective, but for most of Stittsville’s history the main street was not only the main road, but also one of the *only* roads in the community. The community was referred to as a “string town”, meaning that most of its buildings and institutions were along one very long street, with very few cross-streets or secondary roads.</p>
<p>The first subdivision was created in 1901 with several homes back-to-back on Abbott Street and Manchester Street, west of Main Street. Additional subdivisions didn’t come until after the Second World War.</p>
<p>That linear layout makes the street quite different than other “traditional main streets” in our area. It lacks the grid-like structure and intersections of the Glebe or Westboro, and it’s way less compact than old main streets in Carleton Place or Almonte. It remained very much rural in character until well into the 20<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<h3>Post-war ambition</h3>
<p>The people who lived in Stittsville immediately following WWII were an ambitious bunch. In the late 1940s they opened a new elementary school (Stittsville Public School, now <a href="https://frederickbantingalt.ocdsb.ca/">Frederick Banting Secondary Alternative School</a> and home to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=61567020748076">Home Bosses Youth Centre</a>). It was a model of a modern elementary school and school board officials from across the province came to visit. At about the same time the community established a Board of Trade, and an Urban Development Area – a first stab at a master plan and zoning for the village.</p>
<p>In 1956 Stittsville became a “Police Village”, which gave decision-making and budget powers to local elected officials, within the broader Goulbourn Township. By the early 1960s, Stittsville was recognized formally as a “village”.</p>
<p>This period also marked the start of suburban growth and car commuting, with Stittsville a convenient distance from jobs in Ottawa. The first post-war subdivisions were established in the older parts of Stittsville on large lots, due to the need for wells and septic. Streets like Pretty and Ralphpark, Henry Goulbourn and Norway Spruce, Coach and Conductor, Brigade and Bell Park, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Through the 60s and 70s Stittsville welcomed new churches, a community centre and arena (<a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/photo-essay-johnny-leroux-arena-turns-45-years-old/">Johnny Leroux Arena</a>), a post office, a fire hall, a library, all along (or very close to) Stittsville Main Street. Goulbourn Non-Profit Housing built a two-storey affordable apartment building on Carleton Cathcart.</p>
<p>In the late 1970s, the town council decided to connect the village to municipal water and sewage. That, combined with construction of the Queensway to the west end in the 1980s, would eventually shift Stittsville’s focus away from Main Street towards the close of the century.</p>
<h3>End of the railway</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/museum-display-marks-25-years-since-stittsvilles-last-via-train/">last VIA Rail train travelled through Stittsville in January 1990</a>, making the end of nearly 120 years of rail. Soon the tracks would be torn up, the rail buildings demolished, and the crossing arms removed from Main Street.</p>
<p>In 1991, work began to upgrade Main Street. The $8-million project was funded by the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and Goulbourn Township, and included burying hydro lines, building sidewalks on both sides of the street, and boulevards, trees, and street lamps.</p>
<p>In 1996 the site of the old train station was redeveloped as Village Square Park, including the <a href="https://glengower.ca/information/update-work-starts-soon-on-the-village-square-park-playground-renewal/">first version of the railway-themed play structure</a>. (The second generation of the play structure <a href="https://glengower.ca/community/photos-official-opening-of-the-new-play-structure-at-village-square-park/">opened in 2024</a>.) The old rail lines were removed and the Trans Canada Trail was established by 2000, connecting from Bells Corners to Carleton Place.</p>
<p>There’s an old painting by Ben Babelowsky at City Hall capturing Stittsville as it looked around 1999-2000. Looking northward from about where the pedestrian crosswalk is now, it depicts a colourful collection of small two-storey buildings, a mix of shops and restaurants, and a local police station.</p>
<p>The painting is one of a collection of depictions of cities and townships before they were amalgamated into the City of Ottawa in 2000.</p>
<h3>A planning crisis and the Community Design Plan</h3>
<p>With amalgamation, “Main Street” became “Stittsville Main Street” to differentiate it from all the other ones across Ottawa. Amalgamation also coincided with the start of an economic decline on the street, despite continuing residential growth overall in the community.</p>
<p>I think there were a few factors at play here: Stittsville’s residential development was shifting north, west, and south. Newer retail pads built in the 1990s and 2000s on the north end of Stittsville Main and along Hazeldean Road shifted the retail centre of the community northward. A few of the older buildings burned down.</p>
<p>Around 2010, a proposed mixed-use apartment building and townhomes next to the Stittsville Legion sparked an uproar. At five storeys, it would have been the tallest building on the street in one of the narrowest sections. After a few twists and turns, the <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/reverie-revived-stalled-condo-project-could-continue-later-this-year/">townhomes were built</a>, the apartment building was not, and part of the lot remains for sale today.</p>
<p>But that development would still have a major impact. Responding to community interest, former councillor Shad Qadri launched a “Community Design Plan” process for Stittsville Main Street. <a href="https://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/default/files/documents/stittsville_main_cdp_en.pdf">Approved in 2015</a>, it provided a blueprint for future development on the street from Hazeldean Road to Bobcat Way. The vision was for a vibrant neighbourhood with more homes, businesses and services in old and new buildings. It included a four-storey height limit; a preference for mixed use <em>(retail on the bottom, apartments on top);</em> and highlighting opportunities for community enhancements <em>(public art at the corner of Carleton Cathcart; a public square at the trail south of Abbott; acquiring Frederick Banting school for city recreational use should it ever go up for sale).</em></p>
<h3>Revitalization begins</h3>
<p>The plan estimated that Stittsville Main had the capacity for about 2,200 housing units between 2015-2031. More than a decade on, we’re nowhere near the target, but there have been several developments:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Switzer (1531 Stittsville Main) – 43 apartments, opened 2022</li>
<li>The Landing (1370 Stittsville Main) – 71 apartments, opened 2025</li>
<li>The Station (1518 Stittsville Main) – 27 apartments, under construction</li>
<li>1412 Stittsville Main – 18 apartments, under construction</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these were permitted “as of right” under the Community Design Plan and required no rezoning. Each of them (except for 1412 Stittsville Main) includes retail on the ground floor and apartments above. Together, that’s just over 150 apartments.</p>
<p><em>(We could also include the 37 Wildpine apartment development just off of Stittsville Main, with 93 apartments. It’s still going through the approval process.)</em></p>
<p>Besides housing, there’s been a large crop of new businesses opening up on the street. Most of them are independently owned and operated, taking advantage of cheaper rents in older buildings. The street has become an incubator for a score of women-owned and diversity-owned businesses. Restaurants, retail shops, and more. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Jacobs">Jane Jacobs</a> would approve.</p>
<p>Even the <a href="https://glengower.ca/community/celebrating-the-new-stittsville-muslim-association-sign/">Stittsville Muslim Association has moved in</a>, adapting the old Bradley’s Insurance building at 1469 Stittsville Main Street for a temporary mosque and school while they search for a larger property elsewhere in Stittsville.</p>
<p>In the first few years of my Jane’s Walk, we would stop on the porch of the old Green’s Hotel / Butler’s Hotel at the corner of Stittsville Main and Abbott. At the time, it was home to Hudson’s Insurance and I would talk about how great it would be to have a coffee shop or a brew pub open up. Today, it’s home to Ritual Café owned by Chinelo Houron – a popular stop for cyclists and walkers along the Trans Canada Trail.</p>
<p>Instead of stopping at the porch of the building, now we gather at Bradley’s Square. <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/update-final-plan-for-the-stittsville-main-trailhead-project/">Completed in 2019 with main street stimulus funding</a> from the provincial government, it was one of the projects identified in the 2015 community design plan, and <a href="https://glengower.ca/community/official-naming-ceremony-for-bradley-square/">renamed for the Bradley family’s historic contributions to Stittsville</a> in 2022.</p>
<h3>Looking down the road</h3>
<p>Stittsville ward has about 55,000 people today, and will grow by another 25,000 in the coming decades. As far as Ottawa’s suburbs go, our main street is unique: the character, the mix of old and new, and the growing ranks of eclectic businesses.</p>
<p>One of the big challenges is transportation. Stittsville Main is somewhere between a road and a street: a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroad">“stroad”</a>.  It’s a road, in the sense that it’s an artery for vehicles heading north and south in the community. It’s a street, in the sense that it is lined with small shops and quite walkable.</p>
<p>In the future it will have to shift more towards a street, because neighbourhood-scale retail thrives on streets and struggles on roads.  New roads like Robert Grant Avenue will deflect north-south traffic away from Stittsville Main. And the <a href="https://glengower.ca/information/stittsville-main-street-public-realm-plan-heads-to-committee-for-approval/">2022 Public Realm Plan</a> and subsequent <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-map-of-future-transportation-projects-in-stittsville/">2025 Transportation Master Plan</a> call for new sidewalks and pathways on both sides of the street – making it safer and more convenient for pedestrians and cyclists and connecting to the Trans Canada Trail. OC Transpo route 163 launched in 2025 and Route 61 service will become more frequent soon.</p>
<p>In the next few years Stittsville Main will be extended northward, connecting through Jackson Trails and Connections to Palladium Drive and then the Queensway. The old road to Carp will soon become a road to Kanata and beyond.</p>
<p>There will be new apartment buildings, both on the street and nearby. Thanks to the rural origins of the street, most lots are large and deep, making them ideal for housing and retail. The old firehall at Carleton Cathcart is due for a major rebuild, where the City will create a permanent home for the Stittsville Food Bank, likely along with affordable housing and community meeting rooms.</p>
<p>Meanwhile close to Hazeldean Road, new provincial policy has superseded the 4-storey limit established in the 2015 Stittsville Main Street Secondary Plan. Provincial rules mean that <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/update-provincial-rule-changes-and-their-impact-on-stittsville-main-street/">maximum heights are now 10-18 storeys</a> between Hobin and Hazeldean. So if the strip malls or school board land ever gets redeveloped, we’re likely to see some taller mixed-use buildings.</p>
<h3>Change is constant</h3>
<p>I can’t remember where I heard or read it, but a smart urban planner observed that while land uses change over time, and buildings may come and go, the roads will always be there.</p>
<p>Walking up and down the road, you can see evidence of every part of Stittsville&#8217;s history. Architecture from many decades, and clues about the rural and railway history of the village. I wonder if the original surveyors and settlers of Goulbourn Township had any concept that the road they plotted north from Richmond Road to Concession Line XI would eventually become the backbone of a growing 21<sup>st</sup> century suburb in the Nation’s Capital?</p>
<p>Ten years ago when I started the Jane’s Walk, Stittsville Main was at the very start of its modern revitalization. We’re still in the very early stages, it’s far from perfect, and there are some growing pains. But in new buildings like the <a href="https://glengower.ca/tag/1531-stittsville-main/">Switzer</a> or <a href="https://glengower.ca/tag/1518-stittsville-main/">The Station</a>, you can see a glimpse of where the street is going, and what it might become over the next 25 years.</p>
<p>I’ll see you around the neighbourhood.</p>

<hr />
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>The lands are approximately 2.05 hectares in size and are within a draft approved plan of subdivision. The draft plan of subdivision proposes two residential blocks, one for the proposed apartment and another for a proposed semi-detached dwelling, an open space block, and a new road connecting Ravenscroft Court and Wildpine Court. The proposed apartment building is to be located on the north side of the proposed road connection.</p>
<p>Located on the site, between the proposed apartment and the commercial lands to the north, is Poole Creek and its wetlands, which comprise a total 1.22 hectares of the overall site. These lands are to be preserved and dedicated to the City through the associated plan of subdivision application.</p>
<p>In 2025, City Council approved a <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-planning-and-housing-committee-approves-zoning-for-37-wildpine/">Zoning By-law Amendment</a> to permit a four storey, 94-unit apartment building, and a semi-detached home containing two dwelling units on this site.</p>
<hr />
<h3>What’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 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. Building location, landscape treatment, pedestrian access, drainage control and parking layout are a few of the items addressed during review. Please note that issues such as building height or building use (residential versus commercial, ownership versus rental, etc.) are not a part of a site plan review.</p>

<hr />
<h3>Contexte</h3>
<p>Les terrains, d’une superficie d’environ 2,05 hectares, sont inclus dans un plan de lotissement provisoire approuvé. Ce plan prévoit deux îlots résidentiels (un pour l’immeuble proposé, l’autre pour une habitation jumelée) ainsi qu’un îlot d’espace vert et une nouvelle route reliant la cour Ravenscroft à la cour Wildpine. L’immeuble d’appartements se trouvera au nord de la nouvelle route.</p>
<p>Entre l’immeuble et les terrains commerciaux au nord, on retrouve le ruisseau Poole et ses terres humides, qui occupent 1,22 hectare de la superficie du site. Ces terres doivent être préservées et cédées à la Ville au titre de la demande de lotissement connexe.</p>
<p>En 2025, le Conseil municipal a approuvé une <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-planning-and-housing-committee-approves-zoning-for-37-wildpine/">modification au <em>Règlement de zonage</em></a> pour permettre la construction, à cet endroit, d’un immeuble de quatre étages comptant 94 logements ainsi que d’une habitation jumelée comprenant deux logements.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Prochaines étapes</h3>
<p>Cette demande n’a pas été approuvée. Le personnel de la Ville l’analysera pour veiller au respect des politiques provinciales applicables ainsi que des politiques et règlements municipaux pertinents. Le conseiller Glen Gower l’analysera aussi avec son équipe.</p>
<p>À noter que selon le projet de loi 109 adopté par le gouvernement de l’Ontario en 2022, les conseils municipaux n’ont plus le dernier mot concernant les demandes d’approbation des plans d’implantation. Les conseillères et conseillers peuvent donner leur avis et faire des commentaires, mais la décision finale relève du personnel municipal.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Information et commentaires</h3>
<p>L’approbation du plan d’implantation permet à la Ville d’influer sur l’aménagement du territoire pour que celui-ci soit sécuritaire, fonctionnel et harmonieux. Elle sert également à garantir l’application des normes d’aménagement approuvées par la Ville et d’autres organismes. Sont notamment examinés durant le processus l’emplacement des bâtiments, le traitement du paysage, l’accès piétonnier, la régulation du drainage et la disposition des places de stationnement. Le processus ne porte pas sur les questions relatives à la hauteur ou à l’utilisation du bâtiment (résidentiel ou commercial, propriété ou location, etc.).</p>

Vous pouvez mettre le conseiller Glen Gower en copie conforme (<a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a>).</p>
<p>Date limite pour les commentaires : <strong>5 mai 2026</strong>. Les commentaires reçus après cette date seront acceptés et examinés, mais ne seront pas nécessairement pris en compte dans le rapport du personnel.</p>

<p>The City’s <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/official-plan-and-master-plans/transportation-master-plan">Transportation Master Plan</a> (TMP) sets out how the city will plan, develop, and operate its walking, cycling, transit and road networks over the next few decades. It’s meant to reflect the City’s new <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/official-plan-and-master-plans/official-plan/new-official-plan">Official Plan (2022)</a> by accommodating population growth to 2046, and supporting a shift to sustainable transportation modes (walking, cycling, transit).</p>
<p>There are many much-needed projects for Stittsville included in the updated Transportation Master Plan that was approved in July 2025 and we often get questions from residents when these projects will be built. The timelines are quite broad, and we are pressing to have all of these projects completed as soon as possible.</p>
<p>I asked City staff to put together a map that shows all of the Stittsville projects in the TMP. You can click on the map or the legend to enlarge, and we&#8217;ve included descriptions of each project below.</p>

<h2>BLOC-NOTES : Carte des éventuels projets de transport dans Stittsville</h2>
<p>Le Plan directeur des transports (PDT) de la Ville fait état des moyens grâce auxquels la Ville planifiera, aménagera et exploitera dans les prochaines décennies ses réseaux de déplacements à pied, à vélo, dans les transports en commun et ses réseaux routiers. Ce plan, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre du nouveau <a href="https://ottawa.ca/fr/urbanisme-amenagement-et-construction/plans-officiel-et-directeurs/nouveau-plan-officiel">Plan officiel de la Ville (2022)</a>, vise à adapter ces réseaux à la croissance de la population jusqu’en 2046 et à privilégier les déplacements qui font appel aux modes de transport durables (soit les déplacements à pied, à vélo et dans les transports en commun).</p>
<p>La version à jour du Plan directeur des transports, qui a été approuvée en juillet 2025, prévoit de nombreux projets absolument nécessaires pour Stittsville. Les résidents nous posent souvent des questions pour savoir quand ces projets seront réalisés. La durée du calendrier est assez vaste, et nous mettons tout en œuvre pour réaliser tous ces projets dans les plus brefs délais.</p>
<p>J’ai demandé au personnel de la Ville de mettre au point une carte représentant tous les projets de Stittsville selon le PDT. Vous pouvez cliquer sur cette carte ou sur la légende pour l’agrandir. Vous trouverez ci‑après la description de chaque projet.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa has received a Zoning By-law Amendment application from Taggart and Tamarack for part of 6015, 6021 and 6041 Fernbank Road.</p>
<p>The applicant wants to remove Urban Exception 2238 from the subject lands, in order to permit townhouse dwellings within a portion of Idylea Subdivision. This is part of the next phase of the Idylea subdivision.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Zoning By-law Amendment</h3>
<p>Zoning is used by municipalities to regulate how land and buildings can be used. Zoning rules typically control: Permitted uses (for example, housing, retail, offices); Building height and density; Lot size and setbacks; Parking requirements; Landscaping and buffering; and building placement on a property.</p>
<p>A Zoning By-law Amendment application has been submitted to remove Urban Exception 2238 from the existing Residential Third Density Zone, Subzone Z (R3Z) under Zoning By-law 2008-250, as well as from the proposed Neighbourhood Zone 3, Subzone B (N3B) under the draft Zoning By-law 2026-50.</p>
<p>The removal of the Urban Exception would permit townhouse dwellings as an additional permitted use. The proposed townhouse units are to be centrally located within the subdivision.</p>
<p>You can find information about the application and all of the submitted plans, reports, surveys and accompanying documents on the City&#8217;s DevApps web site: <a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D02-02-26-0002/details">https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D02-02-26-0002/details</a></p>
<hr />
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>A subdivision application has been draft approved. The subdivision proposes to include a total of 605 residential units, consisting of 277 detached dwellings, 156 semi-detached dwellings, and 170 townhouse dwellings. The subdivision will also include a central neighbourhood park, and linear urban greenspace along the west side of the subdivision.</p>
<p>These properties have been subject to several rezoning applications, <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/planning-committee-to-consider-zoning-by-law-amendment-for-zoning-by-law-amendment-part-of-6015-6021-and-6041-fernbank-road-on-february-10/">most recently in 2021-2022</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 is consistent with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. As part of this process, staff will collect feedback from the public, municipal departments, and external agencies. Councillor Glen will also be reviewing this application with his team.</p>
<p>City staff will present a report and recommendations to the Planning &amp; Housing Committee. The target date is May 27, 2026.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Stay informed</h3>
<p>Register for future notifications about this application and provide your comments by contacting Emily Charby at 613-580-2424, ext. 76243 or <a href="mailto:Emily.Charby@ottawa.ca">Emily.Charby@ottawa.ca</a> and including File No. D02-02-26-0002 in the subject line. You can copy Councillor Glen at <a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a>.</p>

<h2>6015, 6021 et 6041, chemin Fernbank : demande de modification du <em>Règlement de zonage</em></h2>
<p>La Ville d’Ottawa a reçu une demande de modification de zonage de Taggart et Tamarack pour une partie des terrains situés aux 6015, 6021 et 6041, chemin Fernbank.</p>
<p>Le demandeur souhaite faire supprimer l’exception urbaine 2238 appliquée aux terrains visés et ainsi permettre, sur une partie du lotissement Idylea, la construction d’habitations en rangée. Celles-ci feraient partie de la prochaine phase du projet.</p>
<h3>Modification du <em>Règlement de zonage</em></h3>
<p>Les municipalités ont recours au zonage pour régir l’utilisation des terrains et des bâtiments. En règle générale, les règlements en la matière déterminent l’utilisation permise (logement, commerce, bureau, etc.); la densité et la hauteur des constructions; les retraits et la superficie des lots; les restrictions de stationnement; l’aménagement paysager et les zones tampons; et l’emplacement des bâtiments sur une propriété.</p>
<p>Une demande de modification du <em>Règlement de zonage</em> a été présentée en vue de supprimer l’exception urbaine 2238 de la désignation actuelle de Zone résidentielle de densité 3, sous-zone Z (R3Z) dans le <em>Règlement de zonage</em> (n<sup>o</sup> 2008-250), et de la désignation de Zone de quartier 3, sous-zone B (N3B) dans la version provisoire du nouveau <em>Règlement de zonage</em> (n<sup>o</sup> 2026-50).</p>
<p>La suppression de cette exception urbaine permettrait l’ajout d’habitations en rangée comme utilisation autorisée. Les habitations en rangée proposées seraient construites au centre du lotissement.</p>
<p>Vous trouverez davantage d’information sur la demande ainsi que les plans, rapports, études et autres documents afférents sur le site Web DemDam de la Ville : <a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/fr/applications/D02-02-26-0002/details">https://devapps.ottawa.ca/fr/applications/D02-02-26-0002/details</a></p>
<h3>Contexte</h3>
<p>Une demande de lotissement a fait l’objet d’une approbation provisoire. Le lotissement comprendrait au total 605 logements, soit 277 habitations isolées, 156 habitations jumelées et 170 habitations en rangée. Il y aurait en outre un parc de quartier central ainsi qu’un espace vert urbain linéaire longeant la limite ouest.</p>
<p>Ces propriétés ont déjà fait l’objet de plusieurs demandes de modification du zonage, <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/planning-committee-to-consider-zoning-by-law-amendment-for-zoning-by-law-amendment-part-of-6015-6021-and-6041-fernbank-road-on-february-10/">la plus récente remontant à 2021-2022</a>.</p>
<h3>Prochaines étapes</h3>
<p>La demande n’a pas encore été approuvée. Le personnel de la Ville l’examinera pour s’assurer qu’elle respecte les politiques applicables du gouvernement provincial ainsi que le Plan officiel et le <em>Règlement de zonage</em>. Dans le cadre de cette démarche, il recueillera les commentaires du public, des directions générales de la Ville et des organisations externes. Le conseiller Glen Gower examinera également la demande avec son équipe.</p>
<p>Le personnel de la Ville présentera un rapport assorti de ses recommandations au Comité de la planification et du logement. La date prévue est le 27 mai 2026.</p>
<h3>Restez au courant</h3>
<p>Pour recevoir les prochains avis sur cette demande ou transmettre vos commentaires, communiquez avec Emily Charby au 613-580-2424, poste 76243. Vous pouvez aussi lui écrire à l’adresse <a href="mailto:Emily.Charby@ottawa.ca">Emily.Charby@ottawa.ca</a> en précisant le numéro du dossier (D02-02-26-0002) dans l’objet, et en mettant le conseiller Glen Gower en copie conforme (<a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a>).</p>
<p>La date limite pour fournir vos commentaires est le <strong>13 avril 2026</strong>. Veuillez noter que les commentaires reçus après cette date seront tout de même acceptés et examinés. Toutefois, ils ne seront pas nécessairement pris en compte dans le rapport du personnel.</p>

<p>You might have heard: <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/urban-boundary-expansion-area-6435-fernbank-road-and-6437-flewellyn-road/">Claridge wants to build new homes on 112 hectares of land</a> just west of Stittsville. So they’ve applied to the City for an urban boundary expansion.</p>
<p>In this video I explain what&#8217;s happening, and stick to the end &#8211; I&#8217;ll tell you what you can do.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ontario Planning Policy requires that cities need to have enough residential land supply to accommodate 15 years of projected growth. So every decade or so, cities do a population study and update the planning maps. The last time Ottawa did this was just a few years ago for our Official Plan.</p>
<p>Population data predicted growth from 1-million people to 1.4-million people. We spent 3 years in the last term of council updating the plans, and after a lot of consultation and debate, we <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-ottawas-urban-boundary-expansion-and-stittsville/">expanded the urban boundary</a> and added a bit of new development land, mostly at the edges of the city. We made sure to keep new development land<strong> away</strong> from sensitive natural areas, and <strong>avoid</strong> sprawling into good farmland. The land west of Stittsville was <strong>NOT </strong>approved for expansion.</p>
<p>But then in 2024, <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-new-provincial-rules-for-urban-boundary-expansion/">the Province changed the rules on us</a>. Instead of waiting for an Official Plan update every decade or so, landowners can now apply at any time to change the urban boundary to develop land. And that&#8217;s exactly what developers are doing. In the last year, a bunch of landowners have applied to add land at the edges of the suburbs, all around Ottawa.</p>
<p>City staff and City Council have consistently said “no” to all of these ad-hoc proposals. And I fully expect we’ll say no to this “Stittsville West” proposal as well.</p>
<p>It’s bad planning: This land from Claridge near Stittsville is isolated from the community: Far from transit, far from shops and services, far from schools. It would be expensive to service with water and sewer. And it’s close to sensitive natural areas, including wetland. Not only that, but there’s <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-stittsville-greenfield-residential-land-survey-mid-2024-update/">a ton of land already designated for growth</a> that hasn’t been developed yet. In fact it’s way more than the 15 year land supply that the province requires.</p>
<p><strong>So what can you do?</strong></p>
<p>Write to your MPP, <a href="https://www.ola.org/en/members/all/george-darouze">George Darouze, </a>and write to the Premier, <a href="https://correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/en/feedback/default.aspx">Doug Ford</a>. You can tell them to change the urban boundary expansion policy, and before we sprawl out further into farmland and natural areas, we need to get developers building where there’s already land designated for development.</p>
<p>You can also contact the City planner responsible for this file, <a href="Colette.Gorni@ottawa.ca">Colette Gorni,</a> and share your comments about this proposal.</p>
<p>We’re going to keep pushing back against this proposal. Please share this post with a neighbour, and watch for more updates on my web site: <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/">glengower.ca/development/</a></p>

<h2>VIDÉO : Le point sur la demande d’expansion urbaine à l’ouest de Stittsville</h2>
<p>Peut-être en avez-vous entendu parler : <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/urban-boundary-expansion-area-6435-fernbank-road-and-6437-flewellyn-road/">Claridge Homes veut bâtir de nouvelles maisons sur un territoire de 112 hectares</a> directement à l’ouest de Stittsville. L’entreprise a donc soumis une demande d’expansion des limites du secteur urbain à la Ville.</p>
<p>Dans cette vidéo, j’explique ce qui en est. Visionnez-la jusqu’à la fin, puisque je vous dirai aussi ce que vous pouvez faire.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="All about the Stittsville West urban expansion application" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y50zM8MRIU8?feature=oembed"  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>La politique d’aménagement de l’Ontario exige que les villes aient suffisamment de terrains résidentiels pour s’accommoder de la croissance prévue sur une période de 15 ans. Les villes réalisent donc des études démographiques environ tous les dix ans et mettent à jour les cartes de planification. La Ville a fait l’exercice il y a quelques années, dans le cadre du Plan officiel.</p>
<p>Selon les données démographiques, la croissance ferait passer notre population d’un million à 1,4 million. Dans le dernier mandat du Conseil, nous avons passé trois ans à mettre à jour les plans, et après moult consultations et délibérations, <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-ottawas-urban-boundary-expansion-and-stittsville/">nous avons élargi les limites du secteur urbain</a> et avons ajouté quelques terrains pour des projets d’aménagement, surtout en périphérie. Nous avons veillé à que ces terrains ne se trouvent <strong>pas </strong>à proximité de zones naturelles sensibles et qu’ils n’empiètent<strong> pas</strong> sur de bonnes terres agricoles. Les terrains à l’ouest de Stittsville n’étaient <strong>pas</strong> visés par cette expansion.</p>
<p>Or, en 2024, <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-new-provincial-rules-for-urban-boundary-expansion/">le gouvernement provincial a imposé de nouvelles règles</a> : au lieu de devoir attendre la mise à jour du Plan officiel environ tous les dix ans, les propriétaires fonciers peuvent désormais présenter en tout temps une demande de modification des limites du secteur urbain en vue de projets d’aménagement. Et c’est exactement ce qu’ils font. Dans la dernière année, plusieurs propriétaires ont soumis des demandes visant à ajouter des terrains aux limites des banlieues, tout autour d’Ottawa.</p>
<p>Le personnel de la Ville et le Conseil municipal ont toujours refusé ces demandes ponctuelles, et je m’attends à ce que nous refusions aussi cette demande visant l’ouest de Stittsville.</p>
<p>Ce serait de la mauvaise planification urbaine. Les terrains de Claridge près de Stittsville sont isolés du reste du quartier : ils se trouvent loin du transport en commun, loin des commerces et des services et loin des écoles, et les relier au réseau d’eau et d’égouts coûterait très cher. De plus, ils se trouvent tout près de zones naturelles sensibles, dont des milieux humides, et <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-stittsville-greenfield-residential-land-survey-mid-2024-update/">beaucoup de terrains déjà destinés à être aménagés attendent toujours de l’être</a>. À eux seuls, ces terrains dépassent de loin le nombre exigé par la province pour les 15 prochaines années.</p>
<p><strong>Que pouvez-vous faire?</strong></p>
<p>Écrivez à votre député, <a href="https://www.ola.org/fr/deputes/tous/george-darouze">George Darouze</a>, ainsi qu’au premier ministre, <a href="https://correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/fr/feedback/default.aspx">Doug Ford</a>. Vous pouvez leur demander de modifier la politique sur l’expansion des limites du secteur urbain. Il faut que les promoteurs immobiliers construisent sur les terrains déjà destinés à l’aménagement avant d’empiéter sur des terres agricoles et sur des aires naturelles.</p>
<p>Vous pouvez aussi écrire à l’urbaniste de la Ville responsable de ce dossier, <a href="mailto:colette.gorni@ottawa.ca">Colette Gorni</a>, pour faire part de vos commentaires sur ce projet.</p>
<p>Nous continuerons de nous opposer à ce projet. Merci de faire circuler cette publication dans votre entourage. Consultez mon site Web pour obtenir les dernières nouvelles à ce sujet : <a href="https://glengower.ca/development/">glengower.ca/development/</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan Control application from Grant Castle Corporation is for a new strip mall at 6111 Hazeldean Road. The site is located on the north side of Hazeldean Road, west of the Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street intersection.</p>
<p>The proposed development is to permit the development of &#8220;a multi-tenant, single-storey retail building&#8221; as Phase 2 of the existing commercial site on Hazeldean Road, which includes the Halo Car Wash and other businesses. Vehicle access will be from Hazeldean Road, with on-site and barrier-free parking, internal drive aisles, pedestrian connections, and landscaped buffers along property edges. It has a patio space, parking in front of the retail area, as well as plantings along the frontage. The proposal includes nine commercial units, five bike parking spaces, and 60 car parking spaces, as well as four accessible parking spaces.</p>
<p><a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D07-12-25-0123/details">More information about the proposal is available on the City’s DevApps site…</a></p>

<h3>What is site plan control?</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. Building location, landscape treatment, pedestrian access, drainage control and parking layout are a few of the items addressed during review. Please note that issues such as building height or building use (residential versus commercial, ownership versus rental, etc.) are not a part of a site plan review.</p>
<hr />
<h3>What’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>

<h2>6111, chemin Hazeldean : demande d’approbation d’un plan d’implantation</h2>
<p>La Ville d’Ottawa a reçu une demande d’approbation d’un plan d’implantation de Grant Castle Corporation concernant la construction d’un centre commercial linéaire au 6111, chemin Hazeldean. Le site se trouve du côté nord du chemin Hazeldean, à l’ouest de l’intersection avec la rue Stittsville Main.</p>
<p>Le projet consiste à construire un « immeuble d’un étage pouvant accueillir plusieurs commerces de vente aux détail ». Ce serait la phase 2 du site commercial situé sur le chemin Hazeldean, où sont établis le lave-auto Halo et d’autres commerces. L’accès pour les véhicules donnera sur le chemin Hazeldean. Seront aménagés sur le site un parc de stationnement sans obstacle, des allées pour les automobiles, des liens piétonniers et des zones tampons paysagées aux limites de la propriété. Il y aura une terrasse, des espaces de stationnement devant la zone commerciale ainsi que de la végétation le long de la façade. Le projet prévoit 9 unités commerciales, 5 places de stationnement pour vélos et 60 pour automobiles, et 4 places de stationnement accessibles.</p>

<h3>Qu’est-ce que le processus d’approbation du plan d’implantation?</h3>
<p>Ce processus permet à la Ville d’influer sur l’aménagement du territoire pour qu’il soit sécuritaire, fonctionnel et harmonieux. Il sert également à garantir l’application et le respect des normes d’aménagement approuvées par la Ville et d’autres organismes. L’examen porte notamment sur l’emplacement des bâtiments, le traitement paysager, l’accès piétonnier, la régulation du drainage et la disposition des places de stationnement. Il ne porte pas sur les questions relatives à la hauteur ou à l’utilisation du bâtiment (résidentiel ou commercial, propriété ou location, etc.).</p>
<hr />
<h3>Prochaines étapes</h3>
<p style="margin: 0in; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">Cette demande n’a pas été approuvée. Le personnel de la Ville l’examinera pour s’assurer qu’elle respecte les politiques applicables du gouvernement provincial ainsi que les politiques et les règlements de la Ville. Le conseiller Glen Gower examinera également la demande avec son équipe.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
Veuillez noter que selon le projet de loi 109 adopté par la province en 2022, les conseils municipaux n’ont plus le dernier mot sur les plans d’implantation soumis pour approbation. Les conseillères et conseillers peuvent formuler des observations et des commentaires, mais la décision finale revient au personnel municipal.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa has received an application from Claridge Homes to amend the Official Plan to expand the Urban Boundary by including 6437 Flewellyn Road and 6435 Fernbank Road. The proposed expansion, known as the Stittsville West Urban Expansion Area, would allow for a future development of approximately 2,391 new homes.</p>
<p>The two land parcels have a combined area of approximately 112 hectares (277 acres). The parcels are separated by Fernbank Road, and stretch to the Trans Canada Trail in the north and Flewellyn Road in the south.</p>
<p>The proposed Official Plan Amendment seeks to designate the lands as a &#8220;Category 1 – Future Neighbourhood Overlay Urban Expansion Area&#8221; of the Official Plan, and to redesignate the lands from &#8220;Rural Countryside&#8221; under the Rural Transect to &#8220;Neighbourhood&#8221; under the Suburban Transect, with the addition of a Future Neighbourhood Overlay to guide future development.</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.</p>
<p>More information is available on the City’s DevApps site:<br />

<h3>A note from Councillor Glen</h3>
<p>In 2024, the Provincial Government changed the rules for adding land to the urban boundary. Previously, it could only be done every 5 or 10 years through a comprehensive city-wide review, as part of an Official Plan process. Now, landowners <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/residential-property-regulations/development-application-review-process/development-application-submission/development-applications/official-plan-amendment-urban-and-village-boundary-expansion#section-23e30a5f-39eb-48d0-9e91-6a45f507165b">can apply at any time</a> to add land to the urban boundary.</p>
<p><a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-new-provincial-rules-for-urban-boundary-expansion/">This policy is bad for Ottawa.</a> Any new suburban expansion requires extensive planning for water, sewer, and transportation infrastructure; planning for municipal services like emergency response, libraries, and recreation; and so on. By allowing urban boundary expansion applications at any time, there’s no way cities can plan efficiently and holistically with such a piecemeal approach. In Stittsville (and elsewhere in Ottawa) there is still a ton of land closer to existing infrastructure that is waiting to be developed. We need developers to finish building homes within the existing urban boundary, before we extend it any further.</p>
<p><strong>I do not support this urban boundary expansion.</strong> Homes on this land would be an isolated enclave of suburban homes with poor access to transit, no connections to schools, and far from neighbourhood retail. Ottawa&#8217;s Official Plan policies are intended encourage walkable neighbourhoods and discourage endless suburban expansion in order protect farmland and natural areas. On top of that, this land on Fernbank/Flewellyn is close to sensitive natural areas, including wetland. It was already evaluated as part of the 2022 Official Plan and council rejected the land for new development.</p>
<p>Several other developers have made applications to add land to the urban boundary over the past year, and staff have recommended refusal for every one.</p>
<hr />
<h3>What’s next</h3>
<p><strong>This amendment has not been approved.</strong> City staff will be reviewing this revised application to ensure it complies with applicable provincial policy and city policy, and will bring a recommendation to Planning &amp; Housing Committee.</p>

<h2>Proposition d’expansion de la limite du secteur urbain : 6435, chemin Fernbank et 6437, chemin Flewellyn</h2>
<p>La Ville d’Ottawa a reçu une demande de Claridge Homes pour modifier le Plan officiel afin d’étendre la limite du secteur urbain de la ville en incluant le 6437, chemin Flewellyn et le 6435, chemin Fernbank. L’expansion proposée, connue sous le nom de « Zone d’expansion urbaine de Stittsville-Ouest », permettrait l’aménagement futur d’environ 2 391 nouveaux logements.</p>
<p>Ensemble, les deux parcelles de terre couvrent une superficie de 112 hectares (277 acres). Ces parcelles sont séparées par le chemin Fernbank, et s’étendent jusqu’au sentier transcanadien au nord et jusqu’au chemin Flewellyn au sud.</p>
<p>La modification du Plan officiel proposée vise à désigner les biens-fonds dans la Catégorie 1 – Surzone des quartiers projetés (zone d’expansion urbaine) du Plan officiel, et de faire passer la désignation des biens-fonds de « zone d’espace rural » du transect rural à « Quartier » du transect de banlieue, assortie d’une surzone des quartiers projetés afin d’orienter leurs aménagements futurs.</p>
<p>Ces terrains sont entièrement situés dans le quartier 21 (Rideau-Jock), mais étant donné leur proximité avec le quartier 6 (Stittsville), nous partageons la présente mise à jour avec la population de Stittsville.</p>
<p>Vous trouverez de plus amples renseignements sur la page de la Ville consacrée aux demandes d’aménagement :<a href="https://devapps.ottawa.ca/fr/applications/D01-01-26-0001/details"> https://devapps.ottawa.ca/fr/applications/D01-01-26-0001/details</a></p>

<h3>Une note du conseiller Glen</h3>
<p>En 2024, le gouvernement provincial a modifié les règles régissant l’ajout de terrains à la limite du secteur urbain. Auparavant, l’ajout ne pouvait être effectué que tous les 5 ou 10 ans par l’entremise d’un examen exhaustif à l’échelle de la ville, dans le cadre d’un processus du Plan officiel. Maintenant, les propriétaires fonciers <a href="https://ottawa.ca/fr/urbanisme-amenagement-et-construction/reglementation-entourant-les-proprietes-residentielles/le-processus-dexamen-dune-demande-damenagement/depot-de-la-demande/demandes-damenagement/modification-du-plan-officiel-pour-lextension-du-perimetre-de-la-zone-0">peuvent faire une demande n’importe quand</a> pour ajouter des terrains à la limite du secteur urbain.</p>
<p><a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-new-provincial-rules-for-urban-boundary-expansion/">Cette politique est néfaste pour Ottawa.</a> Toute nouvelle expansion exige une planification approfondie des infrastructures d’eau, d’égout et de transport; la planification des services municipaux, comme les interventions d’urgence, les bibliothèques et les loisirs, etc. Si on autorise les demandes d’expansion de la limite du secteur urbain à n’importe quel moment, les villes ne pourront pas planifier efficacement et globalement avec une approche aussi fragmentée. À Stittsville (et ailleurs à Ottawa), il y a encore un grand nombre de terrains situés plus près d’infrastructures existantes qui attendent d’être aménagés. Il faudrait que les promoteurs finissent de construire des logements à l’intérieur de la limite du secteur urbain existante, avant de l’étendre davantage.</p>
<p><strong>Je ne suis pas en faveur de cette expansion de la limite du secteur urbain.</strong> Les résidences situées sur ces terrains constitueraient une enclave de maisons de banlieue isolées avec un accès limité aux transports publics, sans lien vers les écoles et loin des commerces de détail de quartier. De plus, ces terrains sur Fernbank et Flewellyn sont situés à proximité de zones naturelles sensibles, y compris des milieux humides. Ils avaient déjà été évalués dans le cadre du Plan officiel de 2022, et le Conseil avait rejeté l’aménagement de ces terrains à l’époque.</p>
<p>Plusieurs autres promoteurs ont présenté des demandes visant à ajouter des terrains à la limite du secteur urbain au cours de la dernière année, et le personnel a recommandé de refuser chacune de ces demandes.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Quelle est la prochaine étape?</h3>
<p><strong>Cette modification n’a pas encore été approuvée. </strong>Le personnel de la Ville examinera la demande modifiée pour s’assurer qu’elle est conforme aux politiques provinciales et municipales applicables et fera une recommandation au Comité de la planification et du logement.</p>
