Ottawa reopens 6250 Hazeldean Road zoning file after parcel error
Council approved the Suncor application for a KFC and drive-thru on Sept. 9, 2026, but a technical error in the listed parcels means the file is open again, now including 6240 Hazeldean Road and 1179 Carp Road.
The City of Ottawa has re-opened the minor zoning by-law amendment and site plan applications for 6250 Hazeldean Road after a technical error was found in the parcels listed in the amendment, the office of Councillor Glen Gower said. City Council had approved the application on Sept. 9, 2026.1
The corrected information now includes 6240 Hazeldean Road and 1179 Carp Road. The details of the application and the size of the proposed development are unchanged, and notifications are being recirculated to the surrounding area.1
The site sits at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road, where the Petro-Canada gas station is located. The owner, Suncor, wants to add a single-storey KFC restaurant and drive-thru. The existing gas tank nest, canopy, convenience store and car wash will remain as is.1
The site is currently zoned Arterial Mainstreet, Subzone 9 (AM9) under the City of Ottawa's Zoning By-law 2008-250, and Mainstreet Zone 2 (MS2) under Zoning By-law 2026-50, which is pending approval. The minor zoning by-law amendment seeks relief from both by-laws to permit a reduction to the minimum building height, maximum front and corner yard setbacks, and minimum drive-through stacking provisions.1
Site plan control lets the City influence land development so that it is safe, functional and orderly, and covers building location, landscape treatment, pedestrian access, drainage control and parking layout. Building height and building use are not part of a site plan review.1
Under Bill 109, enacted by the provincial government in 2022, City Council no longer has the final say on site plan control approvals. Councillors can provide feedback and comments, but the final decision rests with City staff. The zoning by-law amendment will be considered under the City's new staff delegated authority for minor zoning by-law amendments, and Councillor Gower can remove delegated authority if required.1
Comments can go to planner Jillian Simpson at Jillian.Simpson@ottawa.ca, with File Nos. D02-02-26-0033 and D07-12-26-0044 in the subject line, and Councillor Glen can be copied at glen.gower@ottawa.ca. The deadline for comments is June 3, 2026. Comments received after that date will be accepted and considered, but may not be reflected in the staff report.1
