Lol ohhh the highest score on UT wow, you must be proud.
Ive built 1000's of units, including many barrier free ones. A few missing middle projects without an elevator aren't going to move the needle one way or the other.
We shouldn't be designing based on the lowest common denominator..
Mississauga fights tooth and nail for 0.95 spaces/unit (0.8 res + 0.15 visitor). These are their recent rates and they are gospel to staff and Council.
But they did redesignate these lands in the Official Plan for Mixed-Use thereby signaling to the development community that they want to see residential and commercial growth along Dundas. The issue with Mother Parkers was that the smell of coffee brewing would be an issue for the new residents...
No. It is designated a Neighbourhood in the Official Plan - the Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 does not have a Neighbourhood zone...
This would need Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments for mid or high density residential.
No way should the City have that kind of power - if I'm a developer and I've approached you to purchase your lands, you refuse, that's great - but it should not impede development of whatever else I own.
If it is the same owner from when the last building was demolished then they are in a very ideal situation..
They've watched their land become and the area around it become a major transit hub with huge redevelopment potential.
Might have been a tax write off for the last 25 years and now can...
