3071 Riverside Drive - Former Bayview School The Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) declared the former Bayview School at 3071 Riverside Drive in River Ward as surplus in 2007. On 28 November 2007, Council directed staff to negotiate acquisition and provide Council with a redevelopment plan and funding recommendation. Due diligence of the site revealed underground contamination, and negotiations during the sale of the property resulted in an agreement that the OCDSB would remediate the site. In addition, the City provided $435,000 towards the demolition of the existing school building on the site. The City acquired the 4 hectares (10 ac.) property from the OCDSB for a negotiated purchase price of $8,090,000 in October 2008 (ACS2007-BTS-RPM-0042). The acquisition was in part intended to preserve green space consisting of an existing sports field, with the intent to sell the remainder of the property for mixed density development in support of the objectives of the Official Plan and to offset the acquisition cost for the property. On 9 February 2011, Council approved the acquisition of an adjacent 0.30 hectare (0.64 ac.) parcel of land that would provide improved access to the development area of the site and increase its overall value for resale (ACS2011-CMR-REP-0009).

Acquisition of the additional parcel was completed on 15 March 2011 for $475,000. The overall cost to acquire the two parcels of land and fund the demolition work was $9,000,000.

From the Report to Finance and Economic Development Committee and Council, January 28, 2014. City seeks interest for development of former Bayview school site ‘I want this done right’: Coun. Brockington By Erin McCracken Ottawa South News, Feb 17, 2016 An invitation has been issued to gauge potential interest in a vacant parcel of land where the Bayview Public School once stood. The city, which owns the property at 3071 Riverside Dr. In the Riverside Park community, is now – through its Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation – seeking expressions of interest from developers and builders who may have ideas for the future development of the site. “It’s just an opportunity to see what folks are thinking,” said River Coun.

Riley Brockington. “The corporation, which is at arms-length from the city, (is) charged with the responsibility of, at the end of the day, marketing this property for development (and) is in a very preliminary fashion announcing to the development community that the city is prepared to market, dispose (and) sell this property.” The request for expressions of interest, issued on Feb. 10, is “a non-binding, non-mandatory initiative,” said Brockington, which is designed to determine what developers may have in mind for the parcel of land, but in keeping with guidelines established by the city with help from local residents.

“It’s still zoned institutional for a school, but (developers) were informed that there was a community concept plan that was developed, that’s been approved by council,” said Brockington. Residents living in proximity to the vacant lot were invited to submit their wishlists for the site during former River Coun. Maria McRae’s tenure, and then by Brockington after he was elected.

He received 80 submissions from residents last fall. “We are firm on it’s going to be low and medium density, residential,” he said, adding building heights would be capped at six storeys and the lot is serviceable. According to the request for interest document, the city first purchased the land from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board in 2011 with the goal of preserving 0.8 hectares of green space at the site and to either “maintain or replace” the former Bayview school's sports field at the southwest corner of the lot. The corporation, in its document, also states the site will have to be rezoned from institutional to accommodate future development. Letting potential interested parties know in advance there is a concept plan in place is important so they are not misled about what can be built there. “Put all the cards on the table – what are your ideas for this?” Brockington said. The maximum area to be developed is 4.3 hectares.

The property’s entrance and egress points have also been flagged by the city, and “can or may be” situated off Riverside Drive and Springland Drive, Brockington said. But that concept plan isn’t set in stone. “There could be some minor tweaks based on lessening the impact on the neighbouring residents,” he added.

Though there is a limit on maximum building heights under the current zoning, there is a hill on the east side of the property closest to Holy Cross Catholic elementary school. For that reason, staff are looking into different configurations to lessen the impact of building heights and reduce a possible loss of privacy for residents living nearby. The city’s planning, parks and recreation and real estate staff and Brockington are currently discussing where a park could go on the site. In the lead-up to a March 10 deadline to submit expressions of interest, parties can request to have a confidential meeting with the development corporation to discuss development options and proposals. The city plans to issue a request for offers on the property in May, before choosing the preferred offer and then completing a purchase-and-sale agreement by the end of this year, according to the request for interest document. Construction at the site likely won’t happen before late 2017, Brockington said, adding that rezoning and other approvals from the city are needed first, as well as a public consultation meeting, among other steps.

“I want this done right,” he said. “This will not be rushed.” To see a copy of the request for expressions of interest, go online to bit.ly/1Xs3dF7.

Bayview development spurs creation of advisory team Retail addition, loss of green space at centre of brainstorming session By Erin McCracken, Ottawa South News December 5, 2016 An advisory team is being pulled together to work with River Ward’s councillor and the developer of the vacant Bayview site before concept plans for the site are set in stone. The group will be made up of Riverside Park residents and members of the Riverside Park Recreation and Community Association, who will be tasked “to try and get what’s best for the community,” Craig Searle, vice-president of the association, said during a community meeting that drew an estimated 90 people to the Riverside Churches on Nov.

30 to discuss changes made to the Bayview concept plan earlier this year. “Maybe we’ll have an impact of where things go and tweak them,” said Searle, who walked residents through changes made to a community concept plan for the 4.3-hectare parcel on Riverside Drive. Many residents are upset the plan, which was approved by council in 2009, now makes room for ground-floor retail shops fronting Riverside Drive, that a multi-use park replaces a field house and sports field and that green space has been scaled back. Carolyn Percy-Searle, who has lived in the area for 32 years, said while it is “a blessing” the density is not higher than six storeys, the addition of a commercial component will bring more traffic. “I moved to this neighbourhood because of the green space,” she said.

“We want our parks protected. “But to have a strip mall on Riverside Drive is idiotic.” she said, drawing applause. “We don’t need a library.

We don’t need stores. We need our green space.” Tracy Murray said she moved to the neighbourhood 25 years ago largely because of the quiet and green space. She said the addition of retail will add to the problem of cut-through traffic. “Something’s got to give,” she said.

“When I hear other people talk of having more retail, it’s not something I would want to see.” Laura Duliner added her voice to the chorus by asking what kind of retail is planned. Those details have yet to be disclosed, but city staff insist there won’t be a strip mall and that R5 zoning includes ancillary or local, small-scale commercial or service use, such as a florist shop, laundromat, newsstand, medical facility, veterinarian clinic and office space. Considering there are vacancies in the nearby Riverside Mall, Duliner said “I question the appropriateness from a marketing point of view of commercial and retail. I’m also very concerned how the traffic situation comes into play in all this.” She is also against the impact to the view of Mooney’s Bay. “The prime view” is the reason why the advisory group will try and have the commercial element located deeper into the property away from the main road, said Searle. But Heather Parker had a different take. Citing a provincial policy statement that sets out official plan guidelines, she said the goals of that include a mix of housing and employment in communities to shorten commutes and reduce congestion.

“So we’re trying to get more planning so that people will walk to places instead of having to rely on their cars all the time,” Parker said. Riverside Park suffers from a lack of retail, which needs to change for current and future generations. “We’re forcing them to have to buy a car so that they can go to South Keys or whatever to do really basic shopping because we don’t have these kinds of services in our community,” she said, adding that small shops in Westboro and the Glebe are good examples of a model that would work. In response to concerns raised, River Coun. Riley Brockington noted that public consultation meetings will be triggered when the developer submits zoning, subdivision and site plan applications. As well, he said the multi-use park at the site will be developed based on community feedback.

“You need to speak up,” he said. The councillor said he plans to meet with the developer once he knows who it is, but in the meantime he has been assured the buyer is “keen to meet with us.” “The intent is to have preliminary discussions with the community,” Brockington said.

Canoe Bay Developments Inc. Is proposing to construct a mixed-use development consisting of two (2) low-rise mixed-use buildings along Riverside Drive, twenty-six (26) townhomes, three (3) low-rise buildings with flats, a six (6) storey retirement home, a six (6) storey residential care facility, a 1.50-acre park, and a daycare building. The two mixed-use buildings on Riverside Drive will have three(3) storeys, with approximately 1,800 square metres of ground floor local commercial uses as well as residential uses on the second and third floors. The total number of residential units proposed is 624. The low-rise development is proposed along the outside perimeter of the site with rear yards and the mid-rise development is proposed at the interior of the site in order to enable appropriate transition to existing low-rise residential development. The majority of the parking to serve the development will be underground, with parking for the local commercial uses and daycare provided at-grade in proximity to commercial entrances.

The townhomes and flats will also have access and parking directly from the internal, private streets. Three (3) accesses are proposed off of Riverside Drive, the most southerly of which will be signalized to control movement into and out of the site and provide safe access to Mooney’s Bay Park across Riverside Drive. The daycare building will have a separate individual access from Springland Road. Development application: Project page: Site: Renderings. Residents hold grudge against city over Mooney's Bay development Jon Willing, Ottawa Citizen Published on: October 31, 2017 Last Updated: October 31, 2017 4:40 PM EDT Residents near Mooney’s Bay are feeling “betrayed” and still holding a grudge against the city for changing a concept plan before selling the old Bayview school to a developer for $16.5 million.

A public meeting scheduled for Wednesday night will let people provide feedback on Canoe Bay Developments’ proposed mixed-use community at 3071 Riverside Dr. Before the project application goes through the land-use approval process at planning committee and council. Canoe Bay wants to build a mix of homes on the 10-acre property, marketing the units to older adults.

According to Canoe Bay’s website, there would be 27 townhomes, 36 apartment “flats,” 42 loft-style apartments, 247 units in a six-storey apartment building and 277 suites in a six-storey retirement residence. There would be a park at the south end and commercial tenants along Riverside Drive.

The Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation (OCLDC) selected Canoe Bay to build on the site. The city bought the school property in 2008, held community consultations on a development concept plan in 2009 and handed the property over to the arm’s-length OCLDC in 2014 to sell it. In 2016, the city changed the concept plan to include a commercial component along Riverside Drive, riling the community.

It has been exactly one year since a preliminary concept plan for the property was approved by the finance and economic development committee, before being ratified by council. Craig Searle, the president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association who lives near the site, said residents feel slighted by the planning process for the property. “The community is basically still feeling very upset with the process,” Searle said on Tuesday. “They feel unheard and betrayed. We feel we’ve wasted a lot of our time.” Searle said the community believes the number of units is too high for the size of the property.

“The city is growing and getting more dense as we go, but this isn’t close to an LRT station,” Searle said. “It completely goes against the Riverside Park secondary plan, which says any development in this area should align closely in nature with what’s existing.” Frank Wilson, who also lives near the site, said the development would only increase the volume of traffic cutting through the community. Wilson bought his home in 2012 after being wowed by the open land behind the property and view to the Rideau River. “I’m okay with the fact I’m going to lose that magnificent open space, but it’s what they plan to do with it,” Wilson said. Riley Brockington said it’s the most heated planning file in River ward. Brockington is still disappointed he wasn’t allowed to be part of the discussions at OCLDC because he isn’t one of the council members who sits on the board.

He signed a non-disclosure agreement to receive information, but “all I got were bubbles,” he said, referring to circles on a map illustrating components of a then-secret proposal. “Having been through this now, you can’t exclude the local councillor,” Brockington said. The public meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. In the main sanctuary of the Riverside United Church at 3191 Riverside Dr. Opponents intend to hold a rally before the meeting begins.

Dress codes are subject to change over time and they should take into consideration those affected by them, says a Carleton University sociologist. Jacqueline Kennelly, an associate professor at Carleton University whose research topics include youth cultures and social movements, said the two-day suspension of an Ottawa high school student is not a black-and-white issue.

Madi Carty, a Grade 11 student at All Saints High School in Kanata, was suspended for two days Tuesday after wearing a pair of ripped jeans to school and then having an altercation with her vice principal over the lack of explanation. The only explanation, according to Carty, was “you wouldn’t be dressed like that for a job interview.” The school has since decided to review its policy, specifically around ripped clothing, next semester. Meanwhile, many of Carty’s peers wore ripped jeans to school in solidarity Wednesday. Kennelly said there’s no fair way of settling the issues around dress codes in schools, except listening to the students’ opinions.

“Often, young people are dismissed or considered to be silly,” she said. “For them, this is their everyday context (it’s important to) have their voice heard and have a debate amongst young people.” She added comparing the school’s dress code to going to a job interview is unreasonable.

“Schools are going to have different norms from job interviews young people know that. She’s not going to wear ripped jeans to job interviews,” Kennelly said. She also said it’s important to look at the reasons behind the dress codes, as they can marginalize certain groups. For example, telling girls to cover their shoulders sends messages that young women should be shamed for exposing their bodies, she said. Carty, who will be back in class Thursday, said she “did not want to go as far” as fighting with her vice principal, but she wants to see a clear explanation over the school’s dress code policies. “I know whenever I wear ripped jeans to my grandma’s house, she says ‘It’s funny you bought them like that’ maybe older people are having hard time understanding that this is the style now.” Nobody from All Saints High School was available for comment Wednesday. Twitter: The Ottawa Catholic School Board dress code: According to the board’s guidelines, principals of each schools should develop a dress code policy, in consultation with the Catholic School Council.

The Ottawa Catholic School Board spokeswoman, Mardi de Kemp, said while each school can “tweak” the fine details, the dress codes in each schools are are fairly consistent.
