Ottawa council approved a settlement with the National Capital Commission to allow the crown corporation to use green space near the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway for new embassies.
According to a motion approved by council, the future embassy site will have no more than "five principal buildings", parking will be encouraged to be built underground but surface parking will be allowed and there will be a new pedestrian corridor.
The city's planning committee approved rezoning in 2021 for the proposed embassy zone, but council rejected the rezoning application. The NCC filed an appeal with the Ontario Land Tribunal, arguing council didn't follow provincial planning rules for the area. In a statement, the Mechanicsville Community Association confirmed it signed an out-of-court agreement for a settlement on the 3.7-hectare piece of land for the embassy precinct.
