Will attend to ask for the building to be Purpose-Built Rental tenure, rather than Condo -- and to have the developer engage with the City's Housing Secretariat on available incentives for adding Affordable Rental apartments. We will also encourage a simpler built-form with fewer balconies.
I live in this building! Ironically, tenants were not notified about the April 9th meeting, as the city only sends notices to landowners. "The city has access to landowners on our assessment rolls and computer systems, not renters, and so that is who we are able to send notices to."

From the plans, it looks like tenants will be on the 2nd floor facing North. Curious what's with all that wasted space over the first-floor retail, and additional not sunny-south facing rental units?

We went to the PUBLIC MEETING, so you didn't have to. The meeting ran past 9:00 PM, and the local Councillor lost control of the room a couple of times...
