The Planning and Growth Management Department undertook a review of the existing Manotick Secondary Plan as a result of a project to update village plans older than five years as part of the update of the Official Plan (OP). Due to the extent of updates required, a separate project was initiated in early 2014 involving Manotick residents, property and business owners as well as other interested individuals. Three public consultations/open houses were held as well as smaller meetings with a public consultation group which represented various stakeholders. The draft Manotick Secondary Plan and associated zoning changes were presented at the third meeting on June 27, The Mud Creek Subwatershed Study is being completed in parallel with the secondary plan update. As part of this study, minor changes to the City s Natural Heritage System mapping have been identified in and around the Village of Manotick. These proposed changes were also presented at the meeting on June 27, Purpose of Official Plan Amendment Proposal: The proposed Official Plan Amendment will: (1) Replace the existing Manotick Secondary Plan found in Volume 2C with the proposed Manotick Secondary Plan; (2) Update Schedule A Rural Policy Plan to adjust the Village boundary to be in accord with the village boundary found in the Manotick Secondary Plan; (3) Remove the former City of Nepean policies relating to Manotick found in Volume 2C of the Official Plan; (4) Amend the OP s Schedule L Natural Heritage System Overlay and replace it with an updated schedule; (5) Amend the OP s Schedule H Road Network Select Villages to add the Mahogany community s collector road, and; (6) Amend the OP s Permitted Uses in Village s policy to increase retail and commercial services up to a maximum of 11,000 sq.m. gross leaseable area at the Mews.
