AppendixD

APPENDIXD Overall Planning Context

The following presents the overall planning context for the Terry Fox Drive Class Environmental Assessment as summarized from relevant planning documents and policies.

Kanata Official Plan Designations

The City of Kanata Official Plan contains 12 separate designations which are applicable to lands within the study area. Three are shown on Schedule A, the Rural Land Use and Roads Plan with nine additional ones on Schedule B, the Urban Land Use Plan. The various policies applicable to these designations relate to land use issues and only indirectly to transportation issues of the type relevant to the Terry Fox Drive EA Study.

In addition to the designations identified on Schedules A and B, several other Schedules identify relevant information:

•

Schedule C 'Urban Area Roads and Community Phasing' identifies the conceptual Terry Fox Drive alignment as the urban boundary for the MarchwoodlLakeside portion of the urban part of the City of Kanata. Schedule C also shows Terry Fox Drive as a Major Arterial road.

• Schedule E 'Environmental Constraints' identifies Class 1, 2 and 3 wetlands, flood plains and organic soils which impact on the study area. Policies related to these environmental constraints are contained in Section 3.7 and are similar to those contained in the RMOC Official Plan. It is also noted that Section 3.7 contains policies related to noise which are also similar to those contained in the RMOC Official Plan.

The following additional policies of the Kanata Official Plan address issues which are directly relevant to the Terry Fox Drive EA Study:

•

Subsection 2.2.12, the Transportation Objectives, refers to a safe and efficient hierarchy of roads, requires that land uses are appropriately located with regard to the road system with efficient access to that system, promotes transit usage by designing road networks conducive to efficient bus routing and requires a network of pathways within and between communities to accommodate pedestrian traffic and provide recreation opportunities.

•

Subsection 3.3 defines public uses to include roads and permits public uses in all of the land use classifications except the Agricultural Resource designation. The Agricultural Resource definition does, however, permit utilities. It is noted that subsection 3.3.6 emphasizes the responsibility to undertake an Impact Statement pursuant to the Environmental Assessment Act.



Page D-J


Appendix D

•

Section 4.1.9 addresses road improvement issues in rural areas. These address such issues as obtaining improvements as a condition of development approval, intersection improvements, road widenings and conveyances.

•

Section 5 addresses urban area development concepts and provides detailed policies for the numerous urban communities. Several policies of interest and generally common to the different communities are the following:

Pathways should integrate with the Greenbelt pathways system.

Road systems are hierarchical with neighbourhoods separated by Minor Collector roads.

Sidewalk/pathway systems should be properly linked.

Concept plans shall require roads in general conformity to Schedules B and C.

•

Of specific interest is subsection 5.3.3.9 which requires a multi-use pathway parallel to the Goulboum Forced Road, a Minor Arterial road, north of Richardson Side Road. This pathway has already been constructed.

•

Subsection 5.8.3.1, which addresses transportation issues in Business Parks, notes that Business Parks shall generally be bounded by Major Arterial roads connecting to the Queensway.

•

Subsection 6.9.3.3 states, with respect to Industrial designations, "No direct vehicular access shall be permitted from Major Arterial roads, except that direct vehicular access may be permitted to Terry Fox Drive from the Industrial area on the north side of Terry Fox Drive adjacent to Riddell Village, subject to the approval of the Regional Municipality."

• Section 8 addresses transportation Issues. Of major and significant importance IS Section 8.1.2, which states, in part:

"Minor and Major Arterials shall not pass through neighbourhoods, but shall form their boundaries."

•

Subsection 8.1.4 states that the locations of proposed roads are approximate.

•

Subsection 8.2.4 states:

"Major Arterial Roads are intended to carry large volumes of through traffic and shall be limited access roads. Major Arterial roads are intended to intersect with Provincial Highways and with Minor Arterial and Neighbourhood Collector roads only. Rights-of- Way shall generally be a minimum of 40 metres. Generally, Regional Roads shall be classified as Major Arterial roads."

AppendixD

• Subsection 8.4 addresses the sidewalk/pathway system, requiring it to link appropriate land uses, including the NCC Greenbelt lands and be integrated with the public transportation system to encourage use and maximize convenience.

Greenbelt Master Plan

In 1996, the National Capital Commission completed the Greenbelt Master Plan, a document which "is designed to provide strategic policy guidance for land use, programming and landscape character in order to ensure the long-term relevance and quality of the Greenbelt."

The Greenbelt does not directly abut the study area but contains several elements which have a potential influence over some aspects of the Terry Fox Drive Environmental Assessment Study. Principally, these are related to pathway systems and natural environment linkages.

Numerous statements are made throughout the Greenbelt Master Plan about the Greenbelt Spine Trail and connections to it:

"Trail networks dedicated to nature study, skiing and hiking will be linked by the Greenbelt Spine Trail, a multi-use recreational pathway running the length of the Greenbelt. "

The Overall Concept Plan shows the location of the Greenbelt Spine Trail and spurs, as does the map identified as the Experiences Network. These spur lines are further identified on the maps entitled 'Shirley's Bay and Crystal Bay Sector' and 'Stoney Swamp and Bruce Pit Sector'. The two spur lines which cross the Terry Fox Drive Environmental Assessment Study Area are the Arnprior-Nepean Railroad (CNR) Line, located in the northwest extremity, and the abandoned Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Line (now part of the TransCanada Trail Network) near the southerly end of the study area, approximately halfway between Hazeldean Road and Fembank Road. Special care to provide for these recreational pathway linkages will be important at these intersection points.

The Overall Concept Plan identifies a Continuous Natural Environment Linkage designation using a conceptual green arrow in the vicinity of Eagleson Road and Hope Side Road. This follows the Monahan Drain watercourse, the objective of which is:

"to maintain ecological continuity and conditions that facilitate movement of animal and plant species, and nutrients and water."

Care will be necessary to help encourage linkages to other natural areas outside the Greenbelt where the Terry Fox Drive corridor crosses this and other watercourses.

Integrated Pathways Study

The June 1994 Final Report entitled Integrated Network of Recreational Pathways For The National Capital Region, Strategic Development was prepared for the National Capital Commission (NCC) together with the municipalities on both sides of the Ottawa River. This



Page D-3


AppendixD

r

document formed the basis for the pathway policies and locations shown III the new RMOC Official Plan.

r

The report advocates a multi-use approach to recreational pathways (page 27) and identifies locations for these facilities. It was previously noted that the RMOC Official Plan Schedules identify the pathways in varying locations. This study identifies them as follows:

[ L

•

A north-south "Potential Network" follows the east side of the Carp River, merging into the Terry Fox Drive conceptual alignment at the south end of the study area (another north-south "Existing Network" passes through the centre of Kanata).

c

• Three east-west "Potential Networks" connect with it and would, therefore, cross Terry Fox Drive. These are shown passing through the Natural Environment Area (AJ lands in the north part of the study area, along Campeau Drive and along the abandoned CPR right-of-way (now part of the TransCanada Trail) in the south part of the study area.

r [

[ [

C

An additional east-west route labelled "Secondary Potential Network" is shown following the Arnprior-Nepean Railroad (CNR) right-of-way, also near the north end of the study area.

This study, read in combination with the RMOC Official Plan, suggests the following conclusions:

• Two cycling networks are proposed. They appear to form a common network along Terry Fox Drive near the south end of the study area but are otherwise separate. One is an on-road facility on Terry Fox Drive. The other is a recreational network along the Carp River.

• Connections to the on-road and recreational networks must be provided for at (north to south):

• March Road

• CNR right-of-way

• Natural Environment Area (AJ

• Campeau Drive

• Palladium Drive (Katimavik Road)

• Hazeldean Road

• CPR right-of-way

• Hope Side Road
