LGA# 3813 RF See crf. mb. ca for details. A S Winnipeg's new mayor settles into office, he's learning his gig involves more than just trying to implement campaign promises. Being mayor is not just a matter of leading, but successfully managing competing interests and expectations. Some of those conflicts are obvious: People living in single- family homes tend to oppose townhouses and apartment towers. Anti- taxation lobbyists insist on spending cuts, while residents demand costly improvements to snow clearing and street repairs. This is the mundane stuff of municipal governance. It's less common to see competing interests of powerful economic players out in the open. Earlier this month, I stumbled across one of those rifts through a poorly informed passage in a column about the aftermath of Target Canada's colossal collapse. In that piece, I heaped scorn upon the City of Winnipeg for approving a big- box retail development on the former Canad Inns Stadium site at Polo Park, which the city sold to a partnership between Shindico Realty and Cadillac Fairview. The city's expression- of- interest call for the old stadium site gave preference to developments with a residential component. Since that redevelopment involves an existing big- box store and a future outlet mall, I lambasted the city for passing up an opportunity to insist upon residential apartments or condos - something that was in fact part of the Shindico/ Cadillac Fairview plan in 2012, when the land was awarded. Housing planned for the second phase of the development had to be scrapped, but not because of the developers. As it turns out, zoning rules governing the use of land around Richardson International Airport preclude the possibility of any large- scale new residential development within the highly desirable Polo Park area. Winnipeg's airport is surrounded by a broad oval of land city documents call the " airport vicinity protection area planned development overlay district," where new construction is restricted " to minimize exposure of residential and other sensitive land uses to aircraft and their potential impacts, including noise." Development in this district is also restricted " to minimize risks to public safety from aircraft accidents" and " to discourage traffic congestion and incompatible land uses" near the airport. In the outer fringes of this area - parts of Tyndall Park, Weston, the West End, River Heights, Tuxedo, Charleswood and St. James - single- family homes are allowed to rise. Closer to the airport, in Polo Park and eastern St. James, the development restrictions are tighter. Immediately around the airport, no new residential homes or apartments can go up unless they replace existing ones, though " minor residential infilling" could be approved by the city as a conditional use. This district " is intended to ensure that the 24- hour operation of Winnipeg's airport continues to contribute to the economic vitality of the city and the region by avoiding or mitigating potential land use conflicts." In reality, it has engendered conflict between the airport and developers who see no reason why some residential units can't coexist with retail stores at Polo Park, which already teems with shoppers. " It's a perfect place," Shindico development manager Bob Downs said in an interview. " I've been working on Polo Park since 2004. The only inquiries I've had from the general public were for residential." In theory, a developer could come forward with a proposal to build townhouses or condos at Polo Park. But in order for this to get through council, the Winnipeg Airports Authority would have to be on side. " We pursued the airport authority and they said no, we will not approve it," Downs said. The WAA suggested it wouldn't give its blessing to anything that could conceivably compromise operations at Richardson International. " Our forecasting sees growing numbers of people and goods moving from our airport in years ahead," WAA communications manager Breanne Talbot said in a statement. " Future development and expansion of the airport will be needed to keep pace with our community's demand for service. It continues to be in our region's best interest to protect future growth of its airport." The city's stated planning goals include increasing density and promoting more pedestrian- friendly neighbourhoods. Allowing a few dozen housing units at Polo Park would be consistent with those goals. Tens of thousands of people already live within the airport- protection district. Some flexibility on the part of the WAA would allow the city to pursue its livability goals without credibly threatening the airport's economic goals. bartley. kives@ freepress. mb. ca Grant Ave. Peace Rd.
