It is a result of amalgamation. Carp is within the City of Ottawa, and since there is plenty of room still in Kanata/Stittsville, there is little point also developing Carp.
Arnprior (and Carleton Place which is growing even faster), are just outside of the western edge of the city. Since Lanark and Renfrew Counties want a piece of the pie, they are encouraging development.
I suspect Carp will eventually be developed though (and will become an extension of Kanata like Stittsville is).
