The City’s Planning Committee today approved a Shepherds of Good Hope proposal to build a 48-unit building on Murray Street that would offer permanent housing solutions to Ottawa’s homeless population, relocating residents from the nearby shelter at the corner of King Edward Avenue. The eight-storey building would also house a drop-in centre and community kitchen.
The development would be funded through the City of Ottawa and the federal government’s Rapid Housing Initiative, in line with Ottawa’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan targets to develop 300 to 570 new housing options annually.
The Committee approved Official Plan and zoning amendments to permit three high rises on the site of Eastview shopping centre, southeast of Montreal and North River roads. The towers would be 22, 28 and 32 storeys, adding 1,013 rental units to the area with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units for families of all sizes. This project would also add significant commercial space to the site.
The redevelopment would serve as a gateway to Vanier and present a prominent view from Cummings Bridge to the west. Community improvements planned as part of the redevelopment include a new park at Montgomery and Selkirk streets, wider sidewalks, a new crosswalk to connect with Riverain Park and the Rideau River, and new public art.
In Westboro, the Committee approved zoning for a nine-storey building that would add 180 units north of Richmond Road and east of Churchill Avenue. The amendment would increase permitted height and density in an area well served by transit. The applicant would contribute more than $779,000 in community benefits, most of which would be split between investments in road safety and the affordable housing fund for Kitchissippi Ward.
The Committee also approved changes to several provisions of the City’s Zoning By-law – most notably sections related to parking and secondary dwelling units. This is part of ongoing work to clean up the by-law and improve readability, making it easier to use. The changes approved today would halve the overall length of the affected by-law sections.
Recommendations from today’s Planning Committee meeting will rise to Council on Wednesday, July 7.
