News & Announcements

I've received the following note from the City with an invitation to participate in consultations on the winter maintenance quality standards.

The City of Ottawa has received Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to permit offices and diplomatic missions to allow the development of embassies. This application amends the Official Plan.

For those who have been following the 243-245 Hinchey Ave development, you may be interested to know that a few additional minor changes have been made to the application, as follows:

A Site Plan Control application has been submitted to construct a three-storey residential building, containing 12 units. The proposal includes 160 square metres of amenity space and 12 covered bicycle parking spaces. The site is currently occupied by a triplex, detached garage, and surface parking area. Adjacent to the property on the east side of Holland Ave are mainly mixed-use developments with ground floor commercial and residential units above. Across the street on the west side of Holland Ave are mature, semi-detached homes.

The property owners of 935 Wellington St W are moving forward with an application to permit the demolition of the 1.5-storey residential building dwelling which is currently in poor condition and is uninhabitable.

Council received this morning an update on the work being done in Ottawa to vaccinate residents against the covid-19 virus. Click the .pdf document below to read more.

Since last spring, residents around the former Webb’s Motel (1705 Carling Avenue) have been working in opposition to the 22-storey apartment tower and 9-storey retirement building proposed for the site.

Good afternoon, Kitchissippi.

This evening I was alerted to what is apparently a forced shut-down and eviction of popular restaurant Grunt in Mechanicsville. The Ottawa Citizen article is here.

The Jewish Youth Library is planning to relocate to 166 Huron Avenue North. The site is currently zoned for residential (R3I – Residential Third Density, Subzone I), therefore, a Zoning By-law Amendment is required to permit a small library use. As the site and current building are a designated heritage resource, no changes to the site or building are proposed in association with the Zoning By-law Amendment.
