Preston-Carling Design Charette

From the City of Ottawa:

City holds public meeting on Preston-Carling district plan

Urban design consultant George Dark's recommended development plan for the Preston-Carling district, one of the fastest growing neighbourhoods in the city, will be presented at a public information session on Tuesday, February 5.

The Preston-Carling strategic directions will complement two community design plans in the Preston Street corridor: One for Bayview Station District at the north and Gladstone Station District farther south.

This information session will be a chance for residents to see and comment on the Mr. Dark's recommended approach for redevelopment of the Preston-Carling district, including project timelines, and to view the results of a recent public design charette. The Preston-Carling district plan was commissioned to ensure orderly development after the City received a number of applications for major developments in the area.

The charette was conducted by Mr. Dark and resulted in a model showing possible buildings, greenspace and transportation links. After the public information session, City Planning staff will review the public comments and present their recommendations to the City's Planning Committee and Council for consideration in March.

Date: Tuesday February 5, 2013
Time: 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Location: Tom Brown Arena, 141 Bayview Road, Ottawa

For more information on the Carling-Bayview Community Design Plan and to review and comment on the results from the design charette, please visit ottawa.ca/carlingbayview.

What is a design charette and how do I fit in?

A Design Charette is an intensive, engaging hands-on workshop that brings people from different disciplines and backgrounds together to explore design options for a particular area or site. You, your friends and neighbours are invited to drop-in anytime and contribute your ideas.

Ongoing physical modeling and drawing will be used to reflect discussions, developed options and illustrate directions.Your feedback will be invaluable for helping us to unlock some of the potential of this changing community.

Who is running the Charette?

As part of the Carling-Bayview CDP process, the City of Ottawa is hosting a design charrette to discuss issues around the transformation of the area around the O-train Carling Station. The charette will be led by an urban design consultant, Urban Strategies Inc.

How will my ideas and suggestions make a difference?

Once all the results are in, Urban Strategies will make recommendations to the City of Ottawa to establish planning and design directions to guide community improvements, review of future development applications for the area and help complete the Carling-Bayview Community Design Plan.

What area is being covered by the Charette?

The area is bounded by the Queensway to the north, Lorretta to the west, Dow's Lake to the south, and Booth Street to the east and is within the boundaries of the Carling-Bayview CDP project.

Where can I get more information?

Questions about the Charette can be e-mailed to CarlingBayviewCDP@ottawa.ca

Open House: Wellington Community Design Plan

Event Date: May 12, 2010

Event Time: 7 pm to 9 pm

Location: Connaught Public School, 1149 Gladstone at Rosemount

This Wednesday evening, you are invited to an Open House to review and discuss the Community Design Pl an (CDP) for the entire Wellington St W corridor and Parkdale Market area. This meeting is in advance of the CDP's approval at the Planning and Environment Committee next month (on June 22, 2010). City staff and Councillor Leadman will be present to answer questions.

The CDP for Wellington Street W is a City-led process that results in a plan that will guide both the development of private lands and public works (of the City and other government agencies) within the study area. The CDP will create a vision, and a means to implement that vision, in ways that are meant to satisfy both community aspirations and the relevant strategic growth management policies of the Official Plan.

The CDP will guide the changes we will see over the next 20 years for this area including:

Zoning and urban design considerations
Land development proposals
Open space and community linkages
Streetscape and road improvements
Civic initiatives
This is an important meeting. If you would prefer to view the plan and comment online, click on this link http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/public_consult/wellington_cdp/index_en
