An Ottawa developer has reduced the number of units in a controversial apartment building proposed for Sandy Hill and added more parking after its original plan was appealed to the provincial Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
TCU Development Corp. originally submitted a proposal last April for a nine-storey apartment building at 36 Robinson Ave., between the Rideau River and Lees Avenue. The 192-unit building, which was slated to have 53 parking spaces for residents rather than the required minimum of 81, was part of the developer’s plan to construct four buildings with a total of 328 rental units in the Robinson Village neighbourhood.
Council approved the plan at a meeting on Jan. 29 despite complaints from nearby residents that the new development would bring additional traffic to an area where there was already a parking crunch on surrounding streets. In early March, the bylaw amendment to approve the plan was appealed to the planning tribunal.

The proposal also calls for a ground-floor gym and lounge as well as a common room on the ninth floor and a rooftop terrace.
