The proposal

City initiated Proposed Amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law - Section 69 - Setback from Watercourses and Waterbodies - In order to emphasize the intent of this section the proposed amendment would state, "(3) Development requiring a plan of subdivision or that is subject to site plan control shall provide the watercourse or waterbody setbacks set forth in subsection (2) unless, as established through conditions of approval, a different setback is determined to be appropriate in accordance with the criteria set forth in the Official Plan". Amendments are also proposed to the zoning of properties along the Ottawa River shoreline, beginning at Thomas A. Dolan Parkway extending west to Arnprior. The amendments would permit the construction of small accessory structures or additions (maximum 20 square metres in area) within the required 30 metre setback, provided they are no closer to the waterfront than the existing main building.
