250 Besserer Limited Partnership, the owner of the subject property at 250 Besserer Street, proposes to demolish the existing office building and garage and redevelop the property with a nine (9) storey, mid-rise residential apartment building consisting of a total of 99 dwelling units, with associated parking.
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of King Edward Avenue and Besserer Street in the Sandy Hill community in Ottawa, and is known municipally as 250 Besserer Street. The square shaped corner lot has a total area of 910.8 square metres with equal frontages of 30.18 metres along Besserer Street to the north and King Edward Avenue to the west.
The proposed building will feature a mix of unit options, as follows: 18 bachelor units; 63 one-bedroom units; and 18 two-bedroom units. The building’s main entrance will front onto Besserer Street; a fire exit door is located along King Edward Avenue, though separated from the public right-of-way by a retaining wall due to site grading.
A covered parking garage is proposed to provide the nine (9) required parking spaces for visitors. Access to the parking garage will be provided via a driveway near the east interior side lot line, along Besserer Street. No parking is proposed to be provided for the building’s residents. The absence of resident parking is judged to be appropriate given the subject property’s proximity to the Central Area, the University of Ottawa Campus, the Rideau LRT Station, and two Transit Priority Corridors.
