Holyday voted against? Is he just trolling at this point?

Holyday voted against? Is he just trolling at this point?

No, Councillor Holyday is pretty consistent about voting against anything that might speed-up housing approvals - and upset his NIMBY voter base.

City slides form tonight's public-meeting...

"BULLET" dodged...

DEVELOPER slides ----

NOTE : Zero (0) One-Bedrooms.

"Starter" units are Studio or 2-Bedroom (w/ Roommate)

Essentially, because ~500 sq ft - 1-Bedroom in new midrise is not viable as a "Purpose-Built Rental" product today.

Plans...

 

[HousingNowTO]

Minor Shadow impact on the north side of Queen (which is mostly a parking-lot anyway).

City should let them relax the angular plane more on the Queen side of this building.

 

[HousingNowTO]

No real serious NIMBY drama during the Q & A.
A handful of complaints about "too BIG - and not enough underground parking", etc.
Lots of local support for getting some kind of Affordable Housing units into the various CORE developments in Toronto-Danforth... and an understanding that the MATH has to work - and their have to be trade-offs.

 

[Towered]

Another solid midrise for Queen Street.
