New Official Plan-Engage Ottawa November 20, 2020.

City of Ottawa Official Plan. Volume 2A: Urban Secondary Plans.

Alta Vista/Faircrest/Riverview Park Secondary Plan.

Bank Street South Secondary Plan. The Billings Bridge Shopping Centre will no longer exist: "...The shopping centre site should become a transit-oriented neighbourhood with retail, streets and residential and office towers organized around a system of streets and blocks centred on a park...""A master concept for the entire Billings Bridge shopping centre site shall be submitted with proposed development when the FSI for the site exceeds 1.0. The master concept plan shall demonstrate how the redevelopment will unfold to meet the city's intensification targets." (Pages 10 and 11.)

 Parking lots facing Bank Street even on private property will be phased out. High rise and mid rise condominiums will be constructed along, and adjacent to the Rideau River.( My comment- Sections of land along the Rideau River in Ottawa are untouchable, read the 1950 Greber Report; the 1988 National Interest Land Mass document and "Definition and Assessment of Cultural Landcapes of Heritage Value on NCC Lands"---Small Scale Cultural Landscapes within the Rideau River Corridor:

  • Rideau Falls
  • Hog's Back Falls and Vincent Massey Park.
  • Riverside Drive Corridor. (Information about Cultural Landscapes within the Rideau River Corridor is from page 40/109.)

Cleary and New Orchard Secondary Plan.

Elmvale Acres Secondary Plan.

Inner East Line 1 Secondary Plan.

Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan.

Mer Bleue Urban Expansion Area Secondary Plan. (My comment-Mer Bleue is part of the Greenbelt. A letter to Mayor Watson regarding Mer Bleue: "Dear Mayor Watson: It is as a CPAWS supporter that I learned of the proposed changes to the Greenbelt. As a resident of the National Capital Region, the Greenbelt is important to me...Mer Bleue is the most biologically diverse area in Eastern Ontario, an internationally recognized RAMSAR site and living laboratory where scientists from around the world come to learn about climate change, bogs and the species which depend on them."

   An August 24, 2019 letter to the Ottawa Citizen by former City Councillor Alex Cullen, regarding residential encroachment into the Greenbelt: "The City of Ottawa recently released its discussion paper '5 Big Moves' as part of its Official Plan Review...Much of it is laudible, but Policy 3 is not. The policy states: 'Where urban expansion may be required in the future...consider the potential to expand into the Greenbelt'. Whoa! Ottawa is already at one million people and is expected to grow more, but nowhere are they manufacturing any more greenspace. Once you permit urban development in the Greenbelt that greenspace is gone forever. In short, don't bother considering this option." Alex Cullen, Ottawa.
