Expanding the urban boundary is a high\u002Dstakes decision for developers and landowners, as well as for those concerned about the economic and environmental costs of sprawl.
sent letters to the minister about reconsidering the urban boundary expansion. Meanwhile, the local development community, via the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association, has impressed on the province its concerns that Ottawa isn’t adding enough land, and has also asked it to overturn a council decision that reduced the height permissions contemplated in the new official plan for what are called “minor corridors.
They could make the decision and any changes themselves, and this would be final. They could push anything they don’t want to decide over to the quasi-judicial Ontario Land Tribunal, which adjudicates planning matters. Or they could return anything they’ve deemed a problem area to the new city council for a decision, over which the province would still have the final say.
Moffatt argued that eliminating single-family zoning across the board is the easiest way to get the development the city needs — low-rise infill, gentle intensification — and by allowing it in every neighbourhood, “it’s less likely that any one community is going to be inundated with that type of growth.”
In August, staff reported to council that the intensification seen between 2018 and 2021 exceeded the target in the new official plan. But that came with a major caveat: while apartment construction was humming along, the number of ground-oriented homes, like singles, semis, townhouses and low-rise apartments with larger units, were lagging the official plan target by about 385 units a year in the built-up areas of Ottawa.
