    Thanks for the question. There is no policy in place that limits the number of rezoning applications that can be considered at one time within the Joyce-Collingwood Plan Area. - Nick

    Thanks for the question. The City typically seeks 20% of the residential floor area to be secured at below-market rates. In this application the proponent has proposed 20% of the residential floor area to be secured at below-market rates. In this case, the Community Amenity Contribution (i.e. affordable housing) is subject to a negotiation. - Nick

    Edit to response June 6, 2023: For clarification, the applicant has proposed 10% of the residential floor area to be secured at below-market rates.
