Area Specific Zoning Meeting

ISLAND PARK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Invites you to attend a briefing on Area Specific Zoning

Wednesday, February 21, 2018
6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Kitchissippi United Church 630 Island Park Drive

What:

Area Specific Zoning is a tool is being offered by the City to preserve a unique feature of our street – our 25 foot setbacks – that will no longer be protected once the National Capital Commission’s (NCC) covenants begin expiring in 2020.

Why:

When the covenants expire, the street will remain R1 (residential, single family). However, the normal setbacks for R1 are between 9.8 to 19.6 feet, considerably less than what we currently have.

Who:

Representatives from the IPCA, the City and Councillor Leiper’s office will be at this meeting to explain fully what ASZ is and listen to your feedback.

Ashcroft Homes Convent Development Open House

Ashcroft Homes is proposing an adaptive re-use of Les Soeurs de la Visitation Convent at their 114 Richmond Rd site, which would see the building partially demolished and encapsulated in glass, combining heritage and modern elements. The refreshed convent would see office tenants and mixed commercial. We invite you to join us to learn more about this proposed development during a community open house:

Wednesday, January 10

6:00-8:00pm

Van Lang Field House (29 Van Lang Pvt)

Information on the proposed development will be available from Ashcroft Homes, and City of Ottawa staff in both Heritage and Planning will be on hand to field additional questions

Thai Embassy at 180 Island Park Drive

Well the Thai Embassy is at it again!

They want to tear down 180 IPD and put up an office building!! They applied to the City to change the zoning in 2014-2015 to do the same thing. Our street is for people and families, not offices. Here are the details and where to send your thoughts:
