My opinion on that: Place on hold. Ensure that stores are fronting Merivale (to allow for further redevelopment to push towards mainstreet arterial) and parking lots front Colonnade (being an industrial collector, there is no benefit of stores facing it). Eliminate the direct access from Merivale north of Colonnade - cars would be forced onto Colonnade to access the site.

Anyone else see any irony in an eco-products store setting up shop in a single-use single-storey asphalt-intensive development on Ottawa's most car-oriented road with sub-par transit service and poor cycling access?

Finally! A power centre was just what that area was lacking!

eternallyme · #**286** Posted: **Jan 30, 2012, 9:48 PM**

After rethinking an ideal area structural plan, I would REJECT the proposed development. There are plenty of open boxes farther up Merivale to develop or redevelop. That land should be rezoned as institutional.

I hope they keep enough space for a potential cross-town rapid transit corridor there.

Wrong side of Colonnade Road, but I agree. That land should be completely rezoned anyway - there is plenty of open land and open boxes farther north on Merivale as stores go out of business. How about the half-empty Merivale Mall (which IMO should be torn down)?

When did Merivale Mall become half-empty? The quality of the tenants inside the mall has gone down but it's far from the state of, say, Barrhaven Mall was at when it was torn down. It's not like you can just tear down parts of it and leave the YMCA and Tailgators continuing operations during that time.

South side of Colonnade looks to be very tight for a BRT corridor so that's why I was thinking of the north side

Tanger Outlet Centres
subdivision application
http://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/...appId=__81MX7G
The Plan of Subdivision application will facilitate the creation of three development blocks for the retail outlet mall, restaurants, and the hotel; 15 blocks for the office/industrial park; and three preservation blocks for the Feedmill Creek Corridor. Three new public streets will be created as well.

1963 parking spaces!

"More specifically, the eastern half of the subject lands is planned for a 31,587 m2 (340,000 ft 2 ) retail outlet mall (Tanger Outlet Centers) located north of Feedmill Creek as well as 2,230 m2 (24,000 ft 2 ) of restaurants and a 200-room hotel located south of Feedmill Creek"

I am sure its just a matter of time before people start speaking out aginst this project.

MountainView · #**294** Posted: **Feb 2, 2012, 11:14 PM**

Do they have any of the tenants already lined up? I noticed that some of the buildings say they will be used for "anchor" tenants. Perhaps a large Nike or Rebook outlet?

S-Man · #**295** Posted: **Feb 3, 2012, 12:05 AM**

I'm guessing that really tall hotel/condo tower from a few years back proposed for this are is kaput? I recall people mles away didn't like the height. Thankfully, they'll just be hetting glorious 1-storey retail outlets and 2,000 parking spots, rather than traffic-causing tall buildings.

And worst thing, the traffic will be worst. Imagine the jam during the Christmas rush and other busy periods and during Sens games at the same time. Even with the extension of Campeau, it will be chaotic until the Transitway gets built.

that site is at 417/Terry Fox.. approved at 15 floors IIRC

Barf.

One thing that should at least be changed is the location of the proposed stormwater pond. A transit station is planned for the 417 & Huntmar; having the stormwater pond at the east of the site makes any attempt at future intensification next to impossible.

The pond should be moved to the southwest corner where it would at least be outside of the 400m radius of the transit station.

I submitted the following comment using the Development Application Search tool:

This proposal is pretty much the exact opposite of the finely grained urban pattern envisioned by the Kanata West Concept Plan.

However since this is likely to be approved anyway, one thing that should at least be changed is the location of the proposed stormwater pond. A transit station is planned for the 417 & Huntmar; having the stormwater pond at the east of the site makes any attempt at future intensification next to impossible and forces any development to be further from the station.

The pond should be moved to the southwest corner where it would at least be outside of the 400m radius of the transit station. If possible, the shopping centre buildings should be moved further east to enable the majority of the parking to be on the west side, away from the future residential community east of Huntmar.

The owners should also be required to construct high quality pedestrian linkages between the development and the future station, including a pedestrian bridge over highway 417 if appropriate.

I would conditionally approve that project, based on further stormwater assessment. Realistically, that kind of centre will not be transit-intensive, and should not necessary be situated adjacent to the transit station. Rather than have another Terry Fox mess, I would focus the intensification at other sites. (Also, if the Transitway is extended westward onto a more intense site, that should become the main transit hub for Kanata)
