    Proposal for 3430 Carling (Former Villa Lucia Property) to go to Planning and Housing Committee Wed. Sept. 6

    City staff will recommend approval of a zoning amendment from GM20[2628] H(18.5) to GM20[2628], which will have the impact of increasing the height of the building from 18.5 m to 20.5 m at the front of property and increasing the Floor Space Index (FSI) permitted from 2 to 2.1, along with reducing setbacks to Carling Avenue. The proposed rezoning will facilitate the development of two 6-storey residential buildings.

    The Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association submitted comments on the proposal in February 2023.

    The agenda for the Housing and Planning Committee meeting on Wed. Sept. 6 is here. The 3430 Carling part is early on the agenda. The details, including the planner’s rationale for approving the application, and CBLCA’s written submission, start on page 30.

    You can find the application and the files associated with it here: Application Details – Development Applications Search (ottawa.ca)

    The applicant has asked Theresa Kavanagh and the Bay Ward staff to request that we send them any comments or questions prior to the meeting so that the applicant can address them in advance of the meeting. If you have comments or questions, please, contact both the CBLCA and bayward@ottawa.ca.

      My compliments to the CBLCA Transportation Transit and Infrastructure Committee on its submission in response to this development. TTIC has captured very well the aspirations of this community towards optimizing its livable aspects under the new Official Plan. A work in progress that will continue to require community awareness and action. Well done

      With the city’s renewed focus on self-sustaining communities in which basic necessities (e.g., groceries, pharmacies) are easily accessible within the community, will the city hold the developer to a mixed-use design in which ground floors are dedicated to commercial use? It’s recognized that Crystal Beach is under-served in this respect and could benefit from some mixed use development – especially with the planned housing increase being considered.
