New proposal for 26 and 28 storey towers at 151-152 Chapel

Trinity Development Group, who owns the land formerly occupied by the Jewish Community Centre at the corner of Rideau and Chapel resubmitted its application for an official plan amendment. If approved, the amendment would permit two mixed use towers of 26 and 28 storeys sitting on a nine storey podium. The proponent reduced only slightly the height of the towers, which still leaves them at five times the permitted height. The new proposal shows a decrease in the number of units from 785 to 550 and in the number of parking spaces from 721 to 532.

The revised proposal still requests the opening of the culdesac at Chapel and Beausoleil to give access to a garage that would be located on Beausoleil. The proposal is now accompanied by a traffic study that posits that the proposed development and the opening of the culdesac would have no major impact on the traffic circulation on Rideau, Chapel and Beausoleil. Comments on this proposal can be directed to city staff at Erin.O’Connell@ottawa.ca.
