"The City has filed an application to re-zone five hectares (or 12 acres) of land on the CEF to be used for the future Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital. In a filing on Friday, the City said it wants to amend the Official Plan to re-designate the land from "agricultural research area" to "general urban area" and relinquish the green space from the farm."
THE 14-ACRE QUEEN JULIANA PARK WILL BE LEFT AS MIXED-USE INSTEAD OF BEING REZONED AS INSTITUTIONAL LIKE ALL OTHER OTTAWA HOSPITALS. Mixed-Use Central permits the construction of offices and post-secondary schools; large institutional buildings; recreation and leisure centres; restaurants and high and medium residential condominiums." (Ottawa Hospital Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments, May 9, 2017.) The Dow's Lake parking lot will be rezoned as Mixed-Use instead of Institutional.

| The tallest building in Ottawa is being constructed on 829 Carling at Preston Street, 60 storeys. One of the Wall of Condos that will inhabit "my street." Say goodbye to Commissioners Park, the Dows Lake parking lot, Queen Juliana Park, the former Dominion Observatory, the grounds of the Neatby building and Canadian Food Inspection Agency lab. 20 years ago a councillor predicted that Carling Avenue would be "Ottawa's Wall of China."...I did not believe her, because I never imagined that Agriculture Canada would give up Canada's Farm. |
