Share Oh yes, forgot to ask, why does this proposal have ZERO one bedroom units? ZERO. How does that make any sense? The existing building is majority one bedroom suites, which complicates the situation existing tenants getting " right of first refusal" in the new building. "Studio" apartments are likely going to be offered to existing tenants who choose to come back to the,building. How is that fair? Does it comply with the enhanced tenant protections currently in place? ZERO one bedroom units in a 16 storey building? Seems done on purpose. on Facebook Share Oh yes, forgot to ask, why does this proposal have ZERO one bedroom units? ZERO. How does that make any sense?

mhanafin asked 28 days agoThank you for the question. As part of the application review process, staff will be reviewing the proposed unit mix in the new building and the unit types in the existing building. If there are potential gaps in the applicant addressing their right of first refusal obligations under the City’s Tenant Relocation and Protection (TRP) Policy, staff will work with the applicant to ensure eligible tenants are offered a new below-market rental unit appropriate to their household as per the City’s TRP Policy. Therefore, there will need to be enough one-bedroom units to accommodate returning tenants. Such requirements would be a condition of rezoning to be incorporated at the development permit stage.

Share Why is it that when the original rezoning application was noted as non-compliant with the Broadway Plan (as it existed at the time) and this was,raised during a conference call involving tenants and the city, no one could give a straight answer as to why the proposal wasn't being shut down? Did the applicant get any advice that it wouldnt be a problem? Or that the Broadway Plan rules would be changed to make this application compliant? Will planning staff be "just taking the applicants word for it" on the renderings which make it look like there's next to nothing in the neighbourhood except little white boxes? Is the health of the nearby trees being considered? The removal of sunshine from the the people living across the street in 11 East 11th? Has anyone from planning really looked at the neighbourhood? on Facebook Share Why is it that when the original rezoning application was noted as non-compliant with the Broadway Plan (as it existed at the time) and this was,raised during a conference call involving tenants and the city, no one could give a straight answer as to why the proposal wasn't being shut down?

mhanafin asked 28 days agoThanks for the question. City staff have been actively working with the applicant to resolve the identified areas of noncompliance, which have been addressed in the revised proposal.
The application is currently under review by various City departments. This review includes an evaluation of the proposal’s design, potential neighbourhood impacts, and tree preservation measures.

redpanda asked about 1 month agoThank you for your inquiry. The fly-through video has been created to illustrate the proposal within the context of the existing neighborhood. Since the other application is still under review, it would be premature to speculate on its final form or approval.

Mt Pleasant Resident asked about 1 month agoThank you for your question. At this time, we do not have information regarding the unit mix or rental rates for the 20 units in the existing building.
For the proposed development, a rental unit composition of 80% market-rate and 20% below-market units will be required. Market rental rates will be determined by the owner based on prevailing market conditions at the time of occupancy. Below-market units will be priced at a 20% discount to the average CMHC city-wide rents (please refer to Table 6 below). These below-market rental rates will be adjusted in accordance with the discount applied to CMHC rents at the time of occupancy.
