City of Ottawa staff are recommending councillors approve a plan to build a high-rise development in Stittsville that, while shorter than initially proposed, would still be the tallest building in the area, if it gets built.
The proposal is for two high-rise buildings on Hazeldean Road, west of Carp Road. The plan is to build one 12-storey building and one 21-storey building, providing 431 apartments.
The initial proposal for one nine-storey building and one 25-storey building was met with public opposition earlier this year. Approximately 300 people attended a virtual public consultation in February and more than 300 written submissions were made about the proposal, with most opposed to the project. A petition with more than 700 signatures opposing the project was submitted to the city.
