A conflict in Ottawa Zoning Regulations may have been resolved. the Ottawa Planning Commission recently was faced with a dilemma in which a developer wants to build a duplex in an R-1 Low Density Residential, which is allowed in current Zoning rules, but the developer later informed the City he want to make it into an attached single family dwelling and split the lot in the future. City Planner Sarah Anzicek told the Planning Commission there are further problems:
The Planning Commission approved allowing attached single family dwellings in the R-1 District and removing the minimum 1,200 square foot and making other changes. The Community Development staff also plans to study possible regulations to control an excessive amount of on-street parking that could occur with the revised regulations.
