⭐ Notable items (7)
The committee recommends approving a specific project (PPCMOI) to allow a variety of commercial and industrial uses at 95-105, boulevard de la Technologie. This decision aims to balance the business park's industrial designation with the needs of the nearby Hautes-Plaines residential community by permitting specific low-to-medium impact services and light manufacturing.
The committee recommends approving the architectural plan for an 8-unit, 3-story multi-family building at 64, rue Brook. The project replaces an existing structure and includes minor zoning variances to allow for surface parking and reduced building setbacks, aiming to harmonize with the local heritage character.
The committee recommends approving the architectural plan and necessary zoning variances for a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family building at 60, rue Thomas. The project involves replacing an existing single-family home with a modern building designed to fit the surrounding heritage-sensitive neighborhood.
The committee recommends approving the construction of a 3-story commercial building in the Connaught Eco-district at 810, chemin d’Aylmer. The project targets LEED Silver certification and includes a minor variance to reduce landscaping depth requirements along the road.
The committee recommends approving the architectural and landscaping plans for the new Gatineau Police Headquarters at 975, boulevard Saint-Joseph. The project involves demolishing the existing commercial building and constructing a new facility that incorporates green space and rooftop parking.
The committee recommends approving an integrated residential project consisting of 92 units across seven 2-story multi-family buildings on avenue de Buckingham. The project is located in a protected wooded area and includes significant tree planting to offset the development's footprint.
The committee recommends rejecting the requested minor variances for an 11-unit, 4-story residential project at 49, rue Chevalier-de-Rouville. The committee cited concerns that the building's size and the requested variances (including reduced setbacks and parking) would negatively impact the neighborhood and the rights of adjacent property owners.

The committee recommends granting a minor variance to regularize the location of a 4-unit building at 20, boulevard Sacré-Cœur. The building was constructed 13 cm into the side setback due to an excavation error, which the committee deemed a minor, good-faith mistake with no impact on neighbors.
The committee recommends granting a minor variance to allow a larger-than-permitted detached garage at 688, chemin Saint-Thomas. The property is in an agricultural zone, and the committee determined the impact on the surrounding area is negligible.
