Public information session - Urban Design Guidelines for Low-rise Infill Housing (concluded)

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Thank you to all participants who took part in the online public information session on Wednesday, October 29 at 6 pm.

The City of Ottawa is developing new comprehensive Urban Design Guidelines for Low-rise Infill Housing. The guidelines will reflect the policies and directions set out in the City’s Official Plan.

The new guidelines will help improve how low-rise housing fits into Ottawa’s neighbourhoods. They will:

  • Explain what low-rise infill housing is and why thoughtful design matters.
  • Give clear design advice to City staff, developers, and residents.
  • Offer guidance on how to plan sites so they work well, consider trees, are sustainable, and well-integrated.
  • Support better-designed housing that is sensitive to the existing and planned

In advance of the information session, residents were able to view Draft 1 of the guidelines and provide feedback to the project lead.
