What’s Proposed
24‑storey residential tower

262 residential units; 123 underground parking spaces
Proposal: https://devapps.ottawa.ca/en/applications/D02-02-25-0087/details
A 24‑storey tower is permitted under the Lincoln Fields Secondary Plan, but a zoning amendment is still required — creating an additional opportunity for public input.

Neighbourhood Compatibility
Lack of adequate transition between 24 story high-rise and 1-2 story neighbouring houses on Edgeworth and Wentworth
Loss of light to neighbouring properties
Increased noise and loss of privacy
Infrastructure
Adequacy of city infrastructure for water, sewage and stormwater
Lack of commitment by city to upgrade Edgeworth to absorb this development (ie sidewalks, removal of ditches, upgrading of road)
Impacts on traffic flows through neighbourhood
Parking
Importance of city management of anticipated parking on nearby streets (new parking restrictions and increased enforcement)
Environment
Loss of mature trees
Lack of space for young children to play (on site or nearby)
The committee will NOT consider comments on:
Property value impacts
Construction‑phase inconveniences (noise, dust, vibration during construction, temporary traffic or parking disruptions) as these are regulated separately not through zoning decisions.
Private disputes or personal preferences
Market‑based objections such as on housing supply.
Operational issues unrelated to land use such as waste collection, snow removal complaints, policing or security concerns not tied to built form
