PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE – MINUTES – 354th meeting / Monday, March 24, 2025 at 5:31 p.m.
⭐ Notable items (9)
This item proposes rezoning a portion of land to allow for the development of Phase 7F2 of the 'Village de la Ferme Ferris' residential project. The change will increase the maximum number of permitted housing units from one to three on three vacant lots along chemin Antoine-Boucher, aligning the area with existing residential phases.
This proposal involves a major mixed-use development at 150 rue Wellington, featuring 298 residential units. The project requires special planning approval (PPCMOI) because it exceeds the current 12-storey height limit and requires adjustments to rear setback requirements. The development includes the demolition of existing structures and aims to integrate contemporary design with the historic character of the Portage heritage site.
This project involves replacing two single-family homes with a three-storey building containing eight housing units and 11 individual rooms for a community-based 'house for people in difficulty.' The proposal requires special planning approval (PPCMOI) to authorize this community use and to waive parking requirements, as the developer aims to maximize green space on the site.
This item concerns the renovation and expansion of a heritage-value home in Old Aylmer. The committee approved the project on the condition that all windows on the main facade be replaced with wood-frame windows to preserve the building's historical character.
This project involves the construction of five four-storey multi-family buildings totaling 120 units. The development requires a minor variance to reduce the setback distance from chemin Vanier to align with existing buildings to the north, and includes the opening of a new street to facilitate access.
As part of the municipal road reconstruction project (Phase 5) on rue Notre-Dame, the city needs to widen the road by 3 meters to accommodate a bike path. This requires the removal of 34 trees from a protected woodland area; the city will plant 42 new trees as compensation.
This project involves repairing the outlet of Lac Beauchamp, which includes replacing a culvert and cleaning/reprofiling a watercourse. The work requires the removal of 12 trees in a protected area and involves excavation in wetlands, which is subject to provincial environmental authorization.
This item seeks to regularize a home that was built in non-compliance with zoning regulations regarding its entrance threshold height and the number of storeys (built as 3 storeys instead of 2). The committee recommends approval despite the building's height exceeding the local uniformity of existing homes on the street.
The owner of a commercial building in an industrial zone wishes to add two concrete floor slabs inside the existing structure, effectively turning a two-storey building into a three-storey one. A minor variance is required to allow the third storey, as the current zoning limits the site to two storeys.
