The application of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment – 70 and 80 Woodridge
Crescent will be coming to Planning and Housing Committee Wednesday July 3rd.
A Zoning Bylaw amendment is needed to include Commercial uses / Increase height limit from 34 metres to 130 metres / Reduce front yard setback from 6 metres to 3.23 metres / Reduce interior side yard setback from 7.5 metres to 3.73 metres / Reduce the required bicycle parking from 256-292 parking stalls to 120.
The Official Plan Amendment would amend Section 3.6.1 General Urban Area Site Specific Exception 17, to allow for high-rise buildings up to 40-storeys and remove the requirement to develop a Secondary Plan.
The application would see the development of two mixed-use towers of 40 and 37 storeys, a minimum 1500 square metres of publicly accessible open space, Multi-Use Pathway and public easements. The buildings propose to include between 511 and 584 units dispersed between the two towers, with commercial uses contemplated at the base of each tower. Additionally, new public accesses and active transportation routes will be incorporated on site to enhance connectivity between Accora Village, the Bayshore Transit station, and the active transportation network.
This meeting will be held through a hybrid format with the option to participate in person or electronically in accordance with Section 238 of the Municipal Act, 2001 as amended by the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020.
Meetings in open session are open to the public and will in most cases be held at Ottawa City Hall (please refer to the agenda for the location of the meeting).
