Status update: Wellington Street West CDP

From the City of Ottawa:

I wish to provide you with a status update of the Wellington Street West Community Design Plan. 

1.       Council approved (May 25)

On Tuesday, April 26^th, the Staff report and recommendations for the Wellington St. West CDP were carried by Planning Committee.  Last Wednesday, May 25^th, the CDP, Official Plan Amendment (Secondary Plan) and Zoning By-law amendments were carried and approved by Council.  Congratulations, and again, many thanks who have contributed to this achievement!

2.        Correction to Technical Error:  Zoning by-law amendment (June 8 Council)

It has been brought to my attention by our Legislative & Technical Services Unit  that there is a technical error in the Zoning by-law amendments.  Although easily corrected, this will require that the zoning by-law passed at the May 25^th Council must be repealed and replaced with the new by-law that corrects this technical issue.  This will happen at the upcoming June 8^th Council. 

PLEASE NOTE: This means that the Zoning by-law amendment notifications will not be made until after the Council of June 8^th.  This includes mail-out notifications to parties who have requested and/or received notifications by mail in the past. 

The Secondary Plan (OPA) notifications will proceed as planned.
