WHEREAS, at its meeting of June 9, 2015, Planning Committee approved the recommendation that Strategic Initiative 39 - Neighbourhood Revitalization and Redevelopment Program be a Term of Council priority, with the goal of  improving the health, vibrancy and livability of low-income neighbourhoods in the City of Ottawa; and

WHEREAS the Strategic Initiative identified that this program would identify one neighbourhood to act as a pilot based on specific criteria which was expected to include opportunities for public/private partnerships, redevelopment of vacant lands and the potential to increase land values through zoning; and

WHEREAS, following a presentation by the Ward Councillor, Planning Committee further recommended that the Albion-Heatherington community be selected as the site for the pilot program, as it met all of the criteria and was ready to move forward; and

WHEREAS, subsequent to the Planning Committee meeting, Members of Council have asked what other communities might also meet the criteria, so that Council has a city-wide understanding of both the need and the state of readiness of other communities not only for the purposes of selecting the best site for this pilot based on all of the information, but also for the longer-term planning and sustainability of low-income neighbourhoods across the City; and

WHEREAS the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Planning Committee, working with staff, are proposing a two-stage process to establish a Building Better Revitalized Neighbourhoods planning framework, with the Chair and Vice-Chair of Planning Committee acting as sponsors, that would give City Council a broader understanding of the City-wide need while still allowing time for a site to be selected no later than Q1, 2016, as follows:

Phase 1:  Planning and Growth Management staff, with Council sponsors, will lead the development of a planning framework that will identify all relevant internal and external stakeholders, the possible measures to shape future development and social services needs for eligible sites across the City, and develop a governance structure to remove barriers to the coordination of municipal action; and

Phase 2:  Revitalization planning work will be initiated, which could include the identification of opportunities for public/private partnerships, renewing the housing stock, improving public facilities and services, redevelopment of vacant land and the potential to increase land values and development opportunities through zoning;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT City Council approve that the Planning Committee recommendation related to Strategic Initiative 39 - Neighbourhood Revitalization and Redevelopment Program, specifically recommendations 4a. and 4b. in the Roadmap Motion, be amended such that the Building Better Revitalized Neighbourhoods planning framework, as identified in this motion, be used to identify and recommend a site for the pilot program, and that staff report back to Planning Committee and Council on the results of Phase 1 no later than Q1 of 2016.
