Three development projects were approved by city council Wednesday, as well as some changes to the city’s BIA structures.
A plan to allow up to 90 not-for-profit housing units to be built on a vacant lot in the Glebe is going ahead. Last week, the city’s finance and corporate services committee approved a recommendation by staff to transfer ownership of a portion of the land at 574 Bank St. to the Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corp. (CCOC), which is looking to construct a nine-storey mid-rise development on the lot.
Located behind the colourful Glebe sign on Bank Street at the intersection of Chamberlain Avenue just south of the Queensway, the portion of the lot declared surplus is 690 square metres and currently occupied by a parking lot.
A city report said the site is valued at approximately $3.3 million, according to an internal assessment, but will be transferred to CCOC for “nominal value.”
The proposed nine-storey development would include 80 to 90 residential units, 30 per cent of which will be affordable at below-market rents.
