Committee of Adjustment Submissions and Decisions


Jan 2017 - 115 Champagne Avenue

Committee of Adjustment Rejects application for Minor Variance to allow outdoor car storage at 115 Champagne Avenue

This site has been used as vehicle storage for Otto's BMW Sales Centre and a notice of zoning violation was issued to the owner in July 2016. The owner then requested a Minor Variance from the Committee of Adjustment to allow outdoor storage to the site. CHNA, residents and the City Planning Department opposed the application, arguing that the proposed application is not a minor variance and must be treated as a temporary zoning amendment and go through the appropriate process.  Additionally, CHNA feels this is NOT an appropriate use for the property and should not be given temporary zoning approval.  

The Committee of Adjustment agreed and refused the request to allow car storage at 115 Champagne. The owners initially appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal board, but in May they withdrew their appeal.   Late in 2017,  the owners submitted a request to the City Planning Department, requesting the site be rezoned to allow the car parking on a 3 year, renewable, "temporary"basis. See details on our Development Applications Page.

The COA's decision,  CHNA's comments and those of the City Planning Dept can be found below.  The Ottawa Citizen article (and the above photo) can be found here.

Jan 2017 - 235 Breezehill S

CHNA has no concerns about the proposal, but once again encourages the applicant to consider a landscaping plan that includes larger trees that would contribute to the city's urban canopy.

Jan 18, 2017 - University of Ottawa Heart Institute at Committee of Adjustment

The UOHI expansion has been increased to 6 floors (5 above ground) from the originally envisioned 5 story annex to allow for future growth.  The Committee of Adjustment is being asked to approve a minor variance in height.  Twenty five feet of the additional floor's NW corner was built between 18" and 1 metre taller than zoning permits. 

Please note,  the structure for all 6 floors has been built.  No additional height above what can be seen today is being added.
