Industrial complex planned for Greely

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Auto shops, HVAC technicians and deck experts could all be joining the Greely neighbourhood before 2016.

Apex Developments in Ottawa has submitted an application to the city to build a three-building, 16unit industrial condominium at 35 Sappers Ridge, southeast of Hawthorne and Rideau roads. Although no units have been ofďŹ cially sold – Apex can’t sell until it has its building permit in hand – project manager Matt Firestone said interested buyers currently include a heavy equipment pulley manufacturer, a heating and cooling company, a truck servicing station, a residential deck manufac-

turer and a commercial scaffolding company. “We’re hoping to start construction in April of next year, with completion in November,â€? Firestone said. Apex will need to sell 10 units before it can ďŹ nance construction, he added. The site is zoned rural heavy industrial, which allows a range of uses: auto body shops and service stations, gas stations, drive-throughs, kennels, warehousing, waste processing facilities, printing plants, crematoriums, and even medical marijuana production facilities. The 16 units are between 120 square metres (1,285 square feet) and 158 sq. m (1,700 sq. ft), but can be combined up to about 743 sq. m (8,000 sq. ft), Firestone said. The site includes 61 parking spaces – each unit gets one free and can buy up to three more - and large, grade-level loading doors are accessed from the back. A common driveway would connect to Sappers

Ridge. The units would share garbage facilities, and would use private well and septic services. The site is north of the Orgaworld organic waste processing facility and about 300 m from a limestone quarry. It is surrounded by vacant lands. According to the zoning by-law, rural heavy industrial uses offer “limited-service commercial uses at locations which are neither environmentally sensitive nor in close proximity to incompatible land uses� and “will have a minimal impact on the rural area.� Firestone said Apex expects to have its building permit in September or October 2014. In the meantime, the city is collecting comments on the development until July 22. Feedback can be directed to Natalie Persaud at 613-580-2424 ext. 12681 or natalie.persaud@ottawa.ca.
