Miguelez: The right kind of housing could enhance Sussex Drive
This article was written in response to ' Sussex Drive deserves better from the NCC, ' May 27: Article content The NCC is in the process of updating its 2005 Core Area Plan, a strategic planning document intended to guide the future evolution of the nine square kilometres at the centre of the nation's capital for the decades to come. The proposed three big moves — turn towards the water, make great spaces and create connections — are already evident in new NCC projects such as River House, Kìwekì Point and the soon-to-be-opened Westboro Beach pavilion. Article content Article content In order to respond to the directive of our shareholder, the Government of Canada, to contribute to solving the housing crisis, we are also re-examining how NCC lands in the core of the capital can be used for housing — an approach that has the added advantage of increasing the resident population and dynamism of our downtown. One of many such sites, two blocks on Sussex Drive across the street from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the French Embassy, is currently zoned in our 2005 plan for institutional use, with the intention that those sites be developed for diplomatic or other public buildings. Article content NCC staff are proposing that these sites could instead be imagined in the revised 2025 plan for a wider variety of building uses, including housing, but also commercial and retail. Such buildings, with a height of no greater than five storeys, reflective of the New Edinburgh Heritage Conservation District and the dignity of our ceremonial route, could serve a variety of functions including residential apartments or town homes, offices and ground-level services such as cafés and restaurants that integrate to the surrounding neighbourhood and workplaces. Our proposed idea would be consistent with the city's Official Plan, which permits housing in these blocks as part of the Parliament and Confederation Boulevard Special District. Article content Interestingly, although the blocks in question are now vacant, as recently as the late 1960s they housed apartment houses, a fire station, a hotel and various shops. In hindsight, we know that the demolition of these places, like at LeBreton Flats, was a mistake that led to too many decades of vacant lands that deprived the capital of housing, energy and built heritage.
