Windmill Developments is seeking to develop the subject site at 384 Arlington Avenue with one 24-storey tower located on the southernmost portion of the property, adjacent to Highway 417 with the height stepping down to eight storeys in the middle portion of the site and down further to four storeys to the northernmost portion of the site abutting Arlington Avenue.
The subject site is the current location of the Ottawa Korean Church, a church that has outgrown its space and will utilize the proceeds from development of this site to build a new facility in a location more accessible to its member base. They will continue to maintain a presence in the community once the sale is finalized: a community room within the proposed development will be made available to the Korean Community Church to continue outreach programs within the area and to serve the local community.
The subject site consists of one main building on the site which also includes a brick two (2) storey dwelling addition to the east and a vinyl-clad building addition to the south. The two (2) storey dwelling was previously used for residential purposes until 2005 and is now utilized as office space. Although not designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, the main church building has been listed in the City of Ottawa’s Heritage Register as a property of interest under Section 27 of the Act. The north and west façades of the church will be retained and integrated into the overall redevelopment program, with the two-storey building facing Arlington Avenue and the addition to the south proposed to be demolished.
The proposed redevelopment of the subject property consists of the construction of a 24-storey tower on a 2,187 square metre corner lot with a three (3) and four (4) storey podium and eight (8) storey mid-level mass. The existing main-building will be partially retained, preserving key character-defining architectural details and elements, and integrating it into the three (3) storey podium at the northwest corner of the site. The two (2) storey portion to the south as well as the two (2) storey brick building located on the northeast corner of the property would both be demolished.
The proposal includes 274 residential units. A diversity of unit types is proposed, including 32 bachelor, 142 1-bedroom and 1-bedroom + den, 92 2-bedroom and 2-bedroom + den apartments, and 8 3-bedrooom apartments.
Vehicular parking is proposed in an underground parking garage accessed from Raymond Street with two levels for a total of 91 parking spaces provided at a ratio of 0.33 parking spaces per unit. Bicycle parking is proposed at a ratio of one space per unit on the ground floor and in the underground parking garage.
