CITY POLICY
Amberlea Neighbourhood
Policies (cont’d)
(d) on lands designated Urban Residential Areas
- Low Density Areas east and west of Whites
Road, north of the Ontario Hydro Gatineau
Corridor,
(i) encourage a development form that
takes advantage of the small, isolated
pockets of land in close proximity to a
Type ‘A’ arterial road, and minimizes
the impact of development on the area’s
natural features and functions;
(ii) further to section 11.13(c) above, ensure
that new roads connecting to Whites
Road are designed in a manner that
minimizes impacts on the area’s natural
features and functions, and intersect with
Whites Road at locations that do not
prejudice the future construction of a
Whites Road/C.P. rail line overpass; and
(iii) despite the Low Density Residential
Areas provision of Table 10 of Chapter
Three, City Council may permit
development at a residential density of
up to 80 units per hectare on these lands
if the resulting development form
demonstrates that the size characteristics
and constraints are better addressed.
