560 Hazeldean rezoning heads to Ottawa committee Oct. 7

The City of Ottawa's Planning and Housing Committee will consider a zoning bylaw amendment at 560 Hazeldean Road on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, according to a city notice. The application would rezone the site, currently used as a golf practice facility, to allow 98 homes: 50 single detached homes and 48 townhomes.¹

The proposal also includes an Arterial Mainstreet Zone for the northern portion of the site along Hazeldean Road. A future Site Plan Control application, a separate approval stage that reviews building design and site layout, will be submitted for a residential and mixed-use development block there.¹
