The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan Control application for the property at 815 Rogers Griffiths Avenue, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Roger Griffiths Avenue and Ploughshare Road within the Mapleton community.
The proposed development from Richcraft consists of two 3-storey apartment buildings located on the western portion of the site. Each building contains 26 apartments with a mix of underground and surface parking for a combined total of 81 spaces for both buildings. Additionally, 230 square metres of outdoor amenity space is provided near the mid-point of the two buildings.
The site’s eastern portion consists of six blocks of stacked townhomes, with a variation of 6, 9, and 12 units for a combined total of 63 homes. A total of 90 surface parking spaces will be provided for this portion of development, with 345 square metres of amenity space centrally located among the six blocks. An accessory building is also proposed north of the amenity space to serve as a garbage room and additional bicycle storage.
Access to the site is provided through two driveways on Ploughshare Road, one servicing the two apartment buildings and another servicing the six stacked dwelling blocks. A total of 52 bicycle parking spaces are provided throughout the site.

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.
Stay informed and provide your feedback
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.
