The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan Control application for the construction of six residential buildings at 319 Huntmar Drive, between Tanger Outlets and the Queensway. Feedmill Creek runs along the north side of the property.
Each of the six buildings would have six storeys, with a total of 472 units, 551 parking spaces through underground and surface parking, and 62 bicycle parking spaces. Access to the site is proposed via Huntmar Drive to the east and to Tanger Outlets in the north.
This land is located entirely within Ward 4 (Kanata North) but given its proximity to Ward 6 (Stittsville) we’re sharing this update for Stittsville residents.
In 2025, a hotel and restaurants were proposed for this location as “Phase 2” of the Tanger Outlets development, but that plan never went forward.
More information about the proposal is available on the City’s DevApps site…

What is Site Plan Control?
The site plan control process allows the City to influence land development so that it is safe, functional and orderly. It is also used to ensure that the development standards approved by the City and other agencies are implemented and maintained. Building location, landscape treatment, pedestrian access, drainage control and parking layout are a few of the items addressed during review. Please note that issues such as building height or building use (residential versus commercial, ownership versus rental, etc.) are not a part of a site plan review.
What’s next
This application has not been approved. City staff will be reviewing the application to ensure it complies with applicable provincial policy and city policy and by-laws. Councillor Glen will also be reviewing this application with his team.
Note that under Bill 109 enacted by the Provincial government in 2022, City Council no longer has the final say on Site Plan Control approvals. Although councillors can provide feedback and comments, the final decision rests with City staff.
