URBAN PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE – MINUTES – 355th meeting / Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 6:17 p.m.

PIIA – Integrated residential project of 6 buildings with 4 units each, semi-detached structure for a total of 24 units – 781, rue Notre-Dame – Lac-Beauchamp electoral district – Denis Girouard

Questions, answers, and comments were formulated, concerning among other things:

• The project is not located near a high-level service corridor and the environment does not offer many alternatives to automobile use;
• Reducing the building footprint to provide more green space would possibly jeopardize the quality of the housing;
• The neighborhood is undergoing revitalization;
• Existing municipal water and sewer services have the capacity to serve the project;
• The Service de l’urbanisme et du développement durable (SUDD) requires the preservation of the white pine, under the recommendation of the Service de la transition écologique.

Conditional Use – Develop a daycare service – 258, chemin des Érables – Limbour electoral district – Louis Sabourin

Questions, answers, and comments were formulated, concerning among other things:

• A certificate of authorization issued by the ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MDDELCC) must be obtained for the installation of a septic tank and a leaching field beyond a certain volume;
• It would have been desirable to obtain the opinion of the Service de la mobilité for this project, since the daycare service is only accessible by car and there are few children in the neighborhood;
• A summary mobility study was submitted by the applicant and does not anticipate any traffic conflicts;
• A residential neighborhood is nearby, and there are no other daycare services in the vicinity.
