The John Howard Society of Ottawa has applied to the City of Ottawa to ask for a zoning change to make way for a 3.5-storey, 34-unit apartment building, according to documents sent out to members of the surrounding community.
The property, located at 318,320, 322 and 324 Gardner Street, is currently home to two duplexes. The applicant wants to tear them down and build the low-rise apartment building in its place.
