LOCAL EVENTS The Phoenix Big Band: SATURDAY SEPT 14, 2024 AT 411 BILLINGS AVENUE We are happy to announce the 3rd Annual Musical Event for The Heron Emergency Food Centre (HEFC). This Event will take place on Saturday September 14, 2024 from 2-5pm at 411 Billings Avenue, Ottawa. We are looking forward to playing for this very worthy cause and look forward to seeing all of the neighbourhood coming out to support the event. The HEFC will be in attendance to collect donations of food and money. ZONING The City has released the first draft of the Zoning Bylaw. Along with a several hundred page draft bylaw that is still being analyzed by FHCA and other Community Associations, the City has released an interactive zoning map. This map sets out the proposed zoning on a lot by lot basis. Go to https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/maps-and-zoning and type in your address to see the proposed zoning of your lot. To help you determine the maximum number of units that could be built on your lot (being proposed under the new bylaw) Councillor Jeff Leiper has created a handy density calculator. Click on the link below (with JavaScript enabled) after you determined what code you are. https://kitchissippiward.ca/2024/06/24/simple-density-calculator/ Enter your lot width and depth, and click on whichever zoning is proposed for your property. To note the proposed density for Faircrest Heights is quite high (much higher than the four units per lot that the City has already approved). A more thorough analysis of the draft Zoning Bylaw and its potential impacts is in the works and will be shared with this mailing list. For awareness a number of Community Associations have questions and concerns about the proposed density levels. Comments on this draft are due to the City later in September. It will be important to express your views, particularly if you have concerns (please cc me). There will be a second draft of the Zoning Bylaw released around early 2025. In the meantime to learn more go to https://engage.ottawa.ca/zoning To note the City will be hosting a virtual information session on September 4th for residents of Alta Vista Ward (in conjunction with a few other wards). A copy of the invitation link will be sent to this distribution once live. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Judy Korecky/FHCA |
