Phase 3 Resubmission (May 30, 2024)
The First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa is proposing to develop a two-building project, named Odayanhaway, at 30 Cleary Avenue.
The first building is approximately 66 units, a 6-storey affordable housing solution that is non-profit owned and managed. The building units will include a range of 1-bed, 2-bed and 2-bed+den units to meet the needs of Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services (OAHS). The building size will be roughly over 11,000 SF in footprint with a gross building area of around 65,400 SF. The building would occupy the North-Western most part of the lands immediately adjacent to the NCC parkway. This would provide OAHS with symbolic connection to the existing green spaces and the Ottawa River.
The second building is a 16-storey market affordable building, aimed at balancing affordability and the desire to create a revenue stream for the Church. The intention for this building is to use the CMHC Rental Construction Financing Initiative program, with most of the units in the building meeting or exceeding CMHC’s definition of affordable housing in Ottawa. This building will provide close to 150 units of various types. This building is currently proposed to be located just North of the River Parkway Childcare Centre and around 14m from the West property line at the podium levels and 16.1m at the tower portion. The building’s area includes a 4-storey podium of around 10,700 SF/ floor in foot print, and tower area of around 8,070 SF / floor. This building will be served by an underground parking garage with around 96 spaces and an additional 10 spaces at grade. Required visitor parking will be provided at various locations at grade, including at an existing gravel area at the Southern end of the property.
With regards to bicycle parking, the project will provide a 1:1 ratio in order to encourage the use of the existing paths and trails in the neighbourhood and along the parkway along the river.
