26 Armstrong, 961 Wellington, 40 Armstrong, 979 Wellington 36 Armstrong, 969 Wellington, 967 Wellington - Updated Development Proposal - OPA, Zoning By-Law Amendment Update

In February 2018, Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments were approved for 979 Wellington Street West. These amendments permitted the development of a nine-storey mixed-use building that generally focussed the nine-storey portion of the building along the Wellington Street West frontage with the building stepping down in height to a six-storey mass along the rear of the site facing Armstrong Street.

The current owner of the site has recently acquired the properties within the block at 26, 36, and 40 Armstrong Street and 961, 967, 969 and 973 Wellington Street West, and has now submitted an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law applications for the development of a 22-storey mixed-use building. We hosted a pre-application open house webinar in the Fall with the community to review the proposed development, and modifications have since been made to the application. The applicant would like to rezone enitre site to TM11, with site specific exemptions for height, setbacks, permitted projectons, rear yard setback parking, drive aisles and bicyle parking. You can review the full details of the applications on DevApps.

Please consider sending us feedback on the proposed development via Jeff.Leiper@ottawa.ca and / or Fiona.Mitchell@ottawa.ca as well as to the lead planner on the file Simon, via Simon.Deiaco@ottawa.ca.
