camera.
Okay,
I'll,

councillor

moves

that

and
item
7.11
citywide
heritage
serve
a
feasibility
study.
We
have
speakers
and
7.12.
How
does
the
city
grow?
We
will
have
a
presentation
on
that,
and
that
is
our
agenda
for
today,
just
a
short
one:
no
lots
of
good
stuff.
Okay,
let's
start
with
item
7.1,
that's
changing
lanes
the
city's,
the
city
of
Toronto's,
review
of
Lane
way,
sweet
citywide,
expansion
of
city
initiative,
initiated
official
plan
amendment
and
zoning.
C
Thank
you
to
the
committee
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
I'm
here
to
lend
my
support
for
the
citywide
expansion
of
laneway
Suites.
Without
the
passage
of
the
amendments
last
year,
my
laneways
suite
likely
never
would
have
been
approved.
As
of
this
fall,
there
will
now
be
one
more
rental
unit
available
downtown.
So
thank
you
for
making
this
process
so
transparent
and
easy.
C
With
that
being
said,
I
implore
this
committee
to
use
the
momentum
it
has
gained
to
unlock
other
forms
of
density.
As
you
all
know,
Toronto
is
beyond
desperate
for
the
creation
of
new
rental
stock
and,
furthermore,
we
are
at
serious
risk
of
losing
our
competitive
advantage.
The
highly
skilled
labor
force
that
calls
this
city
home.
This
is
no
longer
a
housing
affordability
issue.
It
affects
the
city's
ability
to
compete,
compete
globally
for
the
jobs
of
tomorrow.
If
businesses
cannot
attract
the
retain
talent,
they
will
create
jobs
elsewhere.
D
So
again,
I'm
Katherine
borer
I'm,
a
member
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
ABC
residents,
Association
and
Karen
Gore's
line
is
a
former
member
of
the
board
and
was
actively
participating
in
the
consultation
process.
Last
week
last
year
on
laneway
housing.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
ABC,
we
are
the
neighborhood,
that's
bounded
by
Avenue
Road
to
the
west
north
street,
to
the
south,
the
CP
tracks
to
the
north
and
Yonge
Street
to
the
east
and
our
residents.
D
Association
has
been
around
since
nineteen
57,
actively
involved
in
participating
in
municipal
issues
on
behalf
of
our
residents.
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
that
we
are
not
opposed
to
laneway
housing
in
principle,
but
that
we
do
have
some
policy
and
practical
concerns
that
were
expressed
during
the
consultation
process.
Last
year
we
I
personally,
don't
have
a
vested
interest
in
whether
the
housing
goes
in
or
not,
but
I
am
here
to
gain
your
support
to
honor
City
Council's
earlier
specific
direction.
D
With
respect
to
the
SA
SP
211
review
on
laneways
Suites
during
last
year's
consultation
process,
ABC
expressed
a
number
of
concerns,
some
of
which
such
as
height
and
overlook,
have
been
addressed
with
the
policy,
but
others
such
as
Lane
size,
traffic
and
neighborhood
character
have
been
not
adequately
addressed.
Most
importantly,
for
our
neighborhood
ABC
ra
feels
that
neighborhood
character
has
not
been
adequately
addressed
with
the
policy
laneway
suite
height
size
and
setbacks
are
not
the
only
aspect
of
character
that
should
be
considered
when
looking
at
laneway
housing
policy.
D
D
Okay,
great,
so
the
picture
on
the
right
shows
the
type
of
laneway
housing
dwellings
that
have
been
coming
up
in
the
city.
Very
modern,
very
sleek,
nothing
wrong
with
that
type
of
architecture,
I,
quite
like
it
myself,
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
fit
into
some
of
the
more
character
neighborhoods
that
we
have
in
the
city,
especially
in
our
neighborhood,
where
the
bay
and
Gables
character
is
quite
dominant,
and
so
we're
very
concerned
about
the
very
stark
and
very
jarring
contrasts
that
will
arise
in
the
laneways
Suites
that
are
in
our
neighborhood.
D
The
neighborhood
section
of
the
Official
Plan
set
a
baseline
for
what
is
expected
throughout
Toronto
secondary
plans
and
site
and
area
specific
policies
set
out
more
refined
and
detailed,
expect
and
criteria
that
are
specific
and
unique
to
an
area
such
as
ABC
si
SP
211
goes
beyond
looking
at
just
building,
structure
and
placement
on
lots
and
includes
unique
features
and
aesthetic
aspects
of
a
neighborhood
such
as
the
bay
in
Gables
architectural
style.
That
I
just
mentioned
this
view
here
as
part
of
changing
lanes.
D
Approval
in
June
of
2018
City
Council
adopted
the
following
regarding
si
SP
211,
which
are
likely
familiar
with,
but
please
allow
me
to
quote
City
Council
direct,
the
chief
planner
and
executive
director
City
Planning
to
consider
any
necessary
policies,
and/or
bylaw
standards
to
permit
and
regulate
laneway
Suites
as
part
of
the
review
of
site
and
area
specific
policy
211
a
b
c
ra
requests.
The
2018
city
council
direction
that
laneways
Suites
be
looked
at
in
the
context
of
the
SI
SP
211
review
be
honored.
D
This
is
what
Council
agreed
to
and
approved,
and
we
do
not
see
a
reason
why
this
change
at
this
time
is
taking
place
until
we
have
si
SP
211
in
place,
which
we
expect
to
be
sometime
in
the
fall.
As
far
as
we've
been
told,
nothing
to
our
knowledge
has
changed
since
the
date
of
City
Council's
direction.
That
would
warrant
a
change
in
that
direction.
D
D
C
A
Don't
think
there's
any
question.
I
just
got
one
for
clarification,
you're
here,
just
asking
that
this
work
on
the
reviews
of
Leno
has
and
be
part
of
the
211.
That's
basically,
okay,
it's
not
that
you're
opposing
you.
Just
you've
started
a
piece
of
work
that
you
want
to
have
this
included
and
there
and
have
annalistic
view
of
everything.
D
C
Good
morning
I'm
Craig
race
from
Lane
scape.
We
were
fairly
involved
in
the
creation
of
the
policy,
and
we've
been
involved
in
communicating
with
many
homeowners
who
have
started
undertaking
designs
and
work
on
lane
way.
Houses
I
would
like
to
say
that
the
intention
I
thought
that
would
come
up
the
policy
is
one
that
would
allow
citizens
of
Toronto
to
build
their
own
lane
way
houses.
C
This
was
not
something
designed
for
developers,
something
to
create
rental
opportunities
for
families
by
families,
and
we
found
that
in
almost
every
single
case
for
the
hundreds
of
people
we've
spoken
to.
That
has
been
what
has
resulted.
This
is
homeowners,
building
these
for
loved
ones
and
to
rent
for
themselves,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
provide
insight
on
the
people.
We've
been
speaking
to.
A
E
Don't
have
specific
comp
I'm,
an
architect
and
city
planner
with
over
45
years
experience
abroad.
There
are
very
good
examples
of
this
sort
of
development
in
the
UK
in
London,
in
particular
with
news
housing.
But
some
of
the
points
that
I
want
to
raise
are
one
is
that
there's
a
consistency
of
character
and
in
the
style
and
the
housing
and
the
height
over
there?
They
allow
the
ground
floor,
which
used
to
be
for
carriages
and
horses
to
be
included
in
the
accommodation,
so
you
sometimes
have
ground
plus
one
other
times
ground
plus
two.
E
So
my
first
point
is
any
style,
or
is
there
going
to
be
some
kind
of
consistency
of
character
in
my
case,
I'm
interested
because
I
have
some
houses
in
Indiana
cost
aisle
is
Victorian,
so
do
you
get
every
style,
or
is
there
going
to
be
some
kind
of
relationship
to
what
exists?
The
other
point
is
that
the
road
surface,
if
you
want
to
create
a
good
environment,
you
need
to
treat
the
road
surface.
B
Fletcher
I
just
have
a
question
because
I've
had
a
number
of
applications
for
lean
way:
housing
in
my
new
Ward,
both
sides
of
the
border
of
the
Danforth
and
sometimes
people
are
running
into
problems
with
the
committee
of
adjustment
or
a
little
encroachment
that
they're
seemingly
having
some
trouble.
Unraveling
and
I'm
just
wondering.
If
we
could
comment
on
how
easy
the
application
process
has
been
and
what
assistance
there
is
to
people
who
are
trying
to
create
these
new
houses.
F
Through
the
speaker
and
I
can
have
the
Senior
Planner
supplement
my
comment:
we're
in
a
two-year
monitoring
period
for
this
first
batch
of
laneway.
We
expected
that
we
would
encounter
a
few
learning
experiences
around
easements
other
tricks
of
the
trade,
so
to
speak
as
people
get
used
to
how
they
develop
laneway
housing.
The
whole
one
of
the
major
intents
of
this
initiative
was
to
make
it
easy
and
make
it
straightforward.
So
this
these
will
be
important
things
for
us
to
understand.
As
we
go
through
the
monitoring
period.
I
don't
know
Greg.
G
The
chair
since
laneways
suites
were
were
permitted.
As
of
last
year,
we've
had
ongoing
dialogue
with
the
building
department
committee
of
adjustment
staff.
When
issues
arise
were
trying
to
come
to
a
consistent
understanding
about
how
to
process
the
applications
and
better
advise
people
who
call
us
with
enquiries
and
I
will
continue.
B
H
G
To
respond
that
the
the
by
law
for
laneways
sweets
does
not
require
a
parking
space
to
be
provided
on
a
lot
for
the
laneway
sweet.
It
also
does
not
require
that
a
parking
space
continue
to
be
provided
for
the
main
house
on
the
lot.
That's
the
way
that
the
current
by
law
is
written.
Then
those
provisions
are
proposed
to
be
expanded
to
the
area
noted
in
the
report.
I
I
I
I
G
Felt
that
the
the
approach
to
overreach
and
consultation
was
adequate
and
engaged
a
broad
number
of
people
in
the
city,
even
those
who
do
not
live
on
houses
with
laneways
Suites.
During
the
consultation
process,
we
were
approached
by
a
number
of
people
who
may
not
be
able
to
realize
the
benefits
of
building
a
laneways
suite
as
they
don't
live
on.
A
house
live
in
a
house
with
the
laneway,
but
we're
interested
in
other
types
of
auxilary
dwelling
units
that
those
questions
were
raised
fairly
frequently.
I
I
agree
with
catching
the
broad
net
because
it's
it's
a
decision
for
the
whole
city,
but
the
neighborhood's
that
are
affected
significantly
by
the
transformation
that's
being
proposed
should
have
had
individual
drops
to
their
homes.
So
I
guess,
can
you
still
do?
That
is
that
something
you
could
still
do
is
drop
to
the
areas
where
their
changes
are
proposed
through.
F
Through
the
chair,
that's
typically
not
our
process
on
a
citywide
policy
shift
like
this
we've
maintained
a
very
strong
social
media
presence.
Throughout
this
initiative,
we've
run
ads
in
the
newspaper
we
hold
district
meetings,
we've
had
specific
meetings
with
residents
associations
through
the
the
big
round
of
consultation.
That
happened
with
the
first
initiative.
F
Council
I
would
I
would
have
trouble,
though,
with
a
drop
in
terms
of
the
cost
and
the
the
added
bonus
that
it
would
give
us
in
terms
of
consultation,
I,
think
the
the
matter
is
well
understood
from
my
perspective,
but
we
certainly
avail
ourselves
available
for
any
Association
who
wants
to
have
a
talk
about
this
before
it
gets
to
Council
be
happy
to
do
that.
So.
I
F
C
Chris
all
right.
Well,
thank
you,
chair,
just
a
couple
words
on
laneway
housing,
first
of
all,
what
it
is
and
what
it
is
not
what
it
is,
as
it's
been
carefully
developed,
first,
piloted
in
TYC,
sea
and
now
coming
citywide
is
purpose-built
rental.
That
is
what
its
intended
to
be
or
accommodations
for
in-laws
and
others,
but
it
is
purpose-built
meant
rental
within
primarily
established
neighborhoods,
which
have
become
financially
and
accessible,
and
the
this
is
sorry
counselor
effort.
It
is
intended
to
focus
on
the
so
called
missing
middle.
C
This
will
not
change
rental
affordability
overnight,
but
smart.
It
is
appropriate
and
it
provides
an
additional
housing
option
for
renters
who
will
be
able
to
afford,
but
currently
can't
access
this
type
of
housing.
What
it
is
not
is
affordable,
housing
and
that's.
Okay.
We
need
a
range
of
housing
options
in
this
city.
We
desperately
need
affordable
housing,
but
this
is
this
is
a
by
design
project
to
increase
purpose-built
rental
housing
and
we've
built
in
some
mechanisms
to
improve
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
with
this,
and
that's
all
value-added
and
good.
C
C
I
I
have
three
motions
I'd
like
to
place,
so
you
know
this.
Is
this
certainly
and
it's
an
innovative
idea
and
certainly
interesting
I,
just
think
that
we
have
to
do
the
right
consultation
on
it
with
the
neighborhoods
that
are
actually
affected.
So
that's
why
I
would
like
to
ensure
that
you
know
neighborhoods
are
aware.
This
is
happening
one
to
that.
All
those
issues
around
privacy
are
managed
and
impacts
are
mitigated
and
three
I
think
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
would
not
be
thrilled
if
these
became
Airbnb
ease.
I
Not
that
I
have
anything
huge
issue
with
Airbnb,
but
they
have
had
a
lot
of
impacts,
negative
impacts
on
neighborhoods,
and
so
we
have
to
ensure
that's
not
the
case
and
I
know.
Certainly
my
residents
associations
are
concerned
about
that.
Those
unintended
consequences
so
I'm
moving
these
motions
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
proper
consultation
with
the
affected,
neighborhoods
and
local
councillors
have
that
opportunity
and
then
also
do
to
do
consultation
with
the
Federation
of
the
North
Toronto
residents,
Association,
which
I
think
represents
I.
I
I
This
is
the
process
I'm
just
saying:
let's
tighten
up
the
process
so
ensure
that
we
have
the
proper
consultation,
the
proper
staff
training,
which
we
should
be
doing.
We
should
be
making
sure
our
panels.
Our
appeal
panels
have
proper
training
anyway.
So
I'm
saying
put
this
in
the
mix
and
I'm
saying
to
ensure
that
there's
staff
reports
along
with
these,
because
it's
a
new
initiative.
B
Understand
but
there's
not
normally
a
staff
report
on
everything
that
comes
forward
to
committee
of
adjustment,
there's,
usually
a
staff
report.
If
there's
a
problem
with
something
coming
to
the
committee
of
adjustment,
that's
my
experience
in
watching
the
committee
that,
if
there's
a
variance
that
let's
say
you
want
a
front
yard
parking
but
you're
not
allowed
to
then
they'll
they'll
write
but
other
than
that.
Our
planning
staff
as
I
understand
they're.
Not
writing.
Every
time,
something's
in
front
of
the
committee.
I
So
I'm
saying
what
I'm
saying
is
for
this
is
now
spreading
out
throughout
the
city.
That's
what's
being
proposed,
so
it's
new
and
it's
different,
and
so
we
have
to
make
sure
the
right
steps
are
in
place
as
the
process
unfolds.
There's
no
way
that
any
of
this
could
slow
it
down.
The
committee
of
adjustment
hearing
is
set.
The
date
is
set.
You
can't
change
the
date
so
that
doesn't
slow
any
of
your
thinking
that
this
might
slow
things
down
is
not
accurate,
I'm.
A
What
the
counter
is
asking
like,
let
me
try
this
I
know
where
you're
going.
Let
me
try
counselor
you're,
asking
that
the
all
the
variances
are
looked
at
and
are
part
of
the
monitoring
process
so
that
when
we
get
the
report
back,
there's
actually
some
analysis
on
what
kind
of
variances
have
been
asked
and
so
that
we
can
monitor.
That.
Is
that
correct,
yes,
I'm
talking.
A
Anytime,
there's
a
variance
that
that
is
taking
in
consideration.
So
when
the
report,
the
monitoring
report
comes
back,
we
actually
understand
what
kind
of
variances
have
been
asked
and
so
on
right,
you're,
not
asking
staff
to
write
to
committee
of
adjustment
every
time,
there's
a
net
laneway
housing
up,
Wow.
I
It
depends
on
well,
first
of
all,
I,
don't
think,
there's
gonna
be
a
dull
edge
of
them,
so
I
think
that
I
think
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
to
look
at
everyone.
That's
coming,
certainly,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
happen.
In
my
word,
it's
not
a
huge,
it's
not
a
huge
area.
My
word,
that's
that
this
is
being
proposed
for
it.
B
The
Eric
counselor,
if
I,
can
you
and
your
verbal
said
that
there
would
be
a
report
to
the
staff
report
to
the
committee?
This
just
appears
that
there
being
an
analysis,
so
I'm
unclear
and
staff
always
look
at
they
always
look.
They
only
write
if
there's
an
issue
that
they
feel
they
need
to
raise
with
the
committee
uh-huh.
I
I
I
H
Just
trying
to
understand
so
there's
two
ways
this
could
be
read.
One
is
that
staff
write
report
when
there's
a
laneway
suite
application
and
that
that
report
go
to
the
committee
of
adjustment.
Another
way
to
read
it
is
we
have
a
monitoring
report
on
the
overall
success
of
the
program
that's
coming
in
two
years
and
that
you
would
like
when
that
report
comes,
that
this
analysis
be
included
in
this,
which
of
those
two
interpretations
is
your
intention
right.
I
J
Just
to
speak,
no
questions.
This
is
my
speaking.
I
could
support
that
as
that's
written
I.
Think
it's
a
it's
a
good
motion
as
it's
written.
My
thinking
on
this
is
actually
we're
probably
going
to
learn
a
lot
from
this,
as,
as
these
applications
are
coming
in
we're
going
to
see
the
type
of
minor
variances
that
are
coming
forward
and
identify
trends
and
consistencies
in
those
applications
which
could
lead
to
direction
of
us,
actually
updating
the
bylaw.
J
Therefore
that's
a
great
place
for
that
discussion,
and
so
as
it's
written
and
everything
is
that
you've
presented
there
and
one
two
three
I
would
be
supporting
what
you
had
up
there
on
the
screen
a
few
moments
ago,
but
that
really
that
wasn't
my
purpose
of
speaking
here.
What
I
wanted
to
say
was
a
big
congratulations
to
councillor
Bala
former
councillor
McMahon
chief
planner
Lynn
turn
Greg
EWTN's
Kerry
moon,
Baucus,
a
whole
team
on
getting
us
to
the
final
report
here.
J
This
is
a
pioneering
effort
in
Toronto,
long
overdue,
but
very
happy
to
see
it
enthusiastic
supporter
would
love
to
see
more
of
these
across
Toronto
and
certainly
Ward
19,
and
it's
it's
the
beginning
of
more
and
as
we
move
forward
with
looking
at
coach-house
options,
that's
really
important.
It's
incremental!
J
I
A
A
I
usually
say
that
this
policy
really
started
from
the
outside
in,
and
it
was
a
lot
of
the
the
community
groups
and
nonprofit
organizations
in
the
city
that
actually
led
the
initial
consultation
efforts
and
planning
was
right
there
beside
them,
but
it
was
actually
a
really
interesting
way
to
bring
policy
into
the
city.
I
also
like
to
think
of
this
more
as
not
so
much
the
breaks
and
mortars,
but
about
the
people
that
end
up
living
in
it
and
because
I've
participated
in
so
many
consultations.
A
I
actually
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
a
lot
of
people
that
are
thinking
about
building
laneway
housing,
and
this
is
really
about
the
way
that
people
are
living
in
our
city.
More
and
more
people
are
talking
about
multi-generational
homes,
the
amount
of
people
that
actually
come
to
me
and
say
you
know
what
I'm
thinking
about
building
a
laneway
housing,
because
I
want
to
have
my
aging
parents
close
by
I,
want
to
be
able
to
have
my
you
know,
young
30
year
old,
that
can't
afford
anything
in
our
neighborhood
anymore
to
be
able
to
live.
A
Closeby
I
want
to
be
able
to
buy
this
property
and
I
need
the
whole
house,
because
I
have
a
growing
family,
but
I
need
some
rental
income
and
so
a
new
rental
unit
is
built
and
that
person
is
now
able
to
buy
a
home
and
those
are
the
faces
and
and
the
stories
that
I
think
we
need
to
put
in
this
policy.
It's
how
we're
affecting
people's
lives,
and
this
is
how
people
are
living
in
Toronto
and
I
had
a
really
interesting
conversation.
A
The
other
day
I
was
in
councilor
perks
area
and
we
were
talking
about
room
rooming
houses
with
the
Parkland
Land
Trust,
and
they
were
telling
me
that
back
in
the
30s,
it
was
extremely
popular
to
have.
You
know
rooming
house
it
because
that's
what
people
could
afford
and
it
was
it
didn't,
have
the
connotation
that
ended
up
having
after
many
years
after
and
when
we
look
back
at
laneway
housing.
You
see
so
many
of
them
existing
already
in
in
our
city.
From
back
in
the
day
that
we
had
coach
houses,
we
had
many
Suites.
A
So
this
was
done
when
we
first
moved
the
report
last
year
and
we're
just
continuing
to
do
that.
So
with
that
said,
if
I
could
get
a
vote
on
the
motions
on
councillor,
Jay,
Robinson's
motions,
all
those
in
favor
that
carries
and
councillor
my
motion,
all
those
in
favor
that
carries
and
Adam
as
amended.
All
those
in
favor
can
I
have
a
recorded
vote.
C
A
I
Some
of
the
planners
know
I
represent
areas,
an
area
that
has
heavy
industrial
and
so
I'm,
just
wondering
about
youth
compatibility
and
I
know.
Some
of
them
did
appear
at
the
public
meetings
that
were
held
and
I
felt
that
we're
well
advertised
and
promoted
so
I
guess
I
would
ask
that
you
maybe
just
give
me
a
little
bit
of
feedback
on
the
youth
compatibility
when
you
have
those
neighborhoods
that
are
really
not
neighborhoods,
but
our
business
employment
areas
that
are
heavy
industrial.
G
Restaurants,
breweries
in
some
cases,
patios
are
permitted
in
this
particular
area
and
in
some
areas
in
the
light
industrial
or
light
employment
and
employment
zones.
We
are
introducing
the
use
of
patios
with
similar
criterion
provisions
to
patios
permitted
in
other
industrial
areas
in
the
city,
and
that
was
the
source
of
some
concern.
We
had
a
good
conversation
and,
as
I
said,
we
understand
the
issues
raised
by
representatives
from
that
particular
area
and
we
discussed
them
in
the
report
and.
I
So
thank
you
for
doing
that,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
picture
our
chemical
plant
beside
a
patio
mm-hmm.
So
the
restaurants
find
the
brewery
the
you
know.
Making
of
all
that
seems
to
you
know,
work
but
patio
in
in
really
and
as
a
use,
compatibility
with
a
chemical
plant
or
a
lot
of
trucks
circulation
like
lots
of
big
trucks
trying
to
circulate
through
the
business
park.
How
does
that
square
so.
G
In
the
city's
view,
the
patios
are
not
considered
a
sensitive
use
in
terms
of
the
Planning
Act
or
requirements
to
the
Ministry
of
Environment
for
usage,
Aysen
C,
which
is
why
we
felt
comfortable
recommending
that
they
be
included
in
the
three
of
the
four
employment
and
industrial
zone
categories.
We
know
that
they
we
aren't
recommending
the
patios
be
permitted
in
heavy
industry,
which
is
where
you
would
characteristically
find
the
type
of
use
described
in
your
question.
I
I
So
are
we
protecting
employment
land
/,
you
know,
have
you
no
industrial
lands,
or
are
we
not
because
I'm
just
worried
about
all
this
activity
happening
around
the
edges
that
are
slowly
creeping
in
and
various
types
of
outlets
that
are
there
that
really
don't
match
the?
What's?
You
know
what's
happening
in
a
Business
Park
through.
F
In
that
context,
the
nature
of
work
is
changing
a
bit.
So
we've
tried
to
walk
that
line
between
the
the
effect
that
you're
describing
the
the
incremental
changes
that
might
be
negative
and
the
incremental
changes
that
might
be
positive.
That
are
happening
in
employment
areas.
We
found
with
microbreweries,
for
example,
and
and
and
again
this
is
not
affecting
areas
of
heavy
industry,
but
we've
found
with
microbreweries
and
I've
been
to
several,
even
though
I
don't
drink
beer.
F
I'm,
just
declaring
that
I
have
no
bias
here,
but
we
found
with.
We
have
several
that
it's
that
shift
in
the
way
that
manufacturers
are
operating,
small
micro
breweries.
They
want
a
small
eating
or
a
place
where
you
can
try
the
beer
or
or
maybe
it's
a
small
patio.
Many
of
the
ones
that
I've
seen
are
very
small
and
they're
very
well,
positioned
and
very
well
placed
I.
Don't
think
the
micro
breweries
themselves
want
to
put
themselves
in
a
position
where
they're
gonna
conflict
with
their
neighbors.
F
So
it
just
adds
to
the
to
the
flavor
of
some
of
our
employment
areas
without
crossing
a
line
and
causing
trouble
with
some
of
our
major
employers.
But
we're
very
much
aware
of
that
line
that
you
are
that
you're
speaking
about
in
your
comment
and
in
mindful
of
that,
as
we
look
toward
the
future
and
the
changing
nature
of
work
in
the
city.
So.
I
Just
there
is
a
development
right
now,
that's
being
proposed
for
the
lease
side
business
that
it's
not
a
brewery,
but
it
is-
and
your
your
team
would
know
about
this
with
a
patio
on
the
edge.
So
I
guess
my
question
to
you
is:
does
the
city
staff
support
industrial
parks
at
this
time
and
will
you
continue
to
in
the
future
or
should
they
no
absolutely.
F
We,
as
per
the
official
plan,
we
very
much
support
the
the
employment
areas
and
the
uses
that
are
permitted
in
the
Official
Plan.
The
only
point-
and
it's
a
small
point
that
we're
making
with
this
is
that
certainly
micro,
breweries
are
permitted
in
these
industrial
areas
and,
incidentally,
occasionally
one
or
two
of
them
may
want
a
patio
use,
and
that's
really
the
only
small
touch
point
here
that
is,
that
we're
discussing
okay.
I
Robinson,
yes,
thank
you
so
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
comprehensive
and
well
thought-out
report
and
I
think
you
know
definitely
Toronto's
craft
breweries
are
an
asset
to
our
city,
a
great
attraction
for
locals,
as
well
as
tourists,
so
I
just
I.
Just
think.
We
have
to
continue
to
think
about
use
compatibility
and
these
industrial
manufacturers,
whether
you
like
them
or
not.
I
I
Just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
highlight
the
patios
are
not
ideal,
because
what
happens
is
people
are
sitting
on
the
patio
and
their
spelling
smells
and
seeing
big
trucks
and
they're
very
concerned
about
the
aesthetic
and
the
the
neighborhood
as
its
as
it
stands,
and
so
the
complaint
starts
so
I
think
we
have
to
really,
as
we
move
forward,
think
about
all
these
issues
and
how
how
we
facilitate
them
and
navigate
these
things.
But
I
do
think
this
is
a
you
know,
a
great
initiative
in
the
right
place:
Thank
You.
J
Just
very
quickly,
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
think
this
is
a
great
amendment
to
our
zoning
bylaw.
The
East
End
has
a
ton
of
breweries,
as
many
of
you
guys
know
and
I
had
a
chance
to
visit.
Brunswick
beer
works
last
week,
they're
looking
to
expand
they're
up
in
the
Bermondsey
area
and
that
that's
largely
because
of
the
success
of
the
craft
brewing
scene,
that's
growing
in
Ontario,
250,
plus
craft
brewers.
J
Many
of
them
are
located
here
in
the
city
and
as
the
economy
changes
and
as
we
look
to
maintain
employment,
look
to
maintain
manufacturing
having
a
zoning
bylaw
that
reflects
the
that
changing
dynamic
is
really
important,
so
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
work
on
this
and
I
am
biased
because
I
do
drink.
Beer
I
actually
enjoy
it
quite
a
bit.
So
this
this
is
a
big
win,
big
win
for
the
city
and
a
big
win
for
the
East
End.
Thanks
very
much.
A
Any
other
speakers
seeing
none
okay,
I'd
like
to
just
make
a
few
remarks.
I
I,
do
want
to
thank
staff.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
colleague,
councillor
Layton,
that
I
know
he
was
working
very
closely
with
staff
on
on
this
on
this
piece
of
work
that
is
in
front
of
us
I
think
if
I'm,
not
the
councillor
with
the
most
breweries
I'm
pretty
up
there
and
okay
now
we're
gonna
have
a
challenge
on
this.
No,
but
the
reality
is
that
for
anybody
that
has
a
significant
amount
of
breweries.
A
We
know
that
has
been
a
challenge,
because,
if
they're
on
a
Main
Street
is
a
challenge
if
they're
an
employment
land
is
a
challenge,
and
these
have
been
F
turned
out
to
be
great
business
in
our
community
who
are
employing
people.
A
lot
of
them
become
great
community
members,
doing
lots
of
activities
in
the
neighbourhood.
A
They
become
small
community
hubs
and
and
I
think
that
it's
about
time
that
that
we
facilitate
for
these
intrapreneurs
to
do
business
in
the
city
and
do
it
in
a
way
that
is
well
integrated
and
and
that
they're
they
they're
allowed
to
become
parts
of
our
communities.
And
this
is
our
city.
Changing
it's
our
city,
evolving
and
I.
Think
it's
a
good
piece
of
work.
So
thank
you
for
for
the
work
here
and
with
that
all
those
in
favor
of
the
report
and
that
carries
okay.
A
E
Good
morning,
chair
and
a
blower
and
committee
members,
I'm
here
representing
today,
put
on
a
hat
confederation
of
resident
rape
associations
of
Toronto.
This
is
the
organization.
That's
been
a
party
at
the
the
OMB
and
now
the
l-pad
hearing
with
respect
to
the
appeals
to
the
zoning
bylaw
569
2013
I
mean
really
I'm,
representing
the
interests
of
residents
right
across
the
city
in
in
that
important
zoning
bylaw.
The
the
issue
today
is
very
straightforward.
In
that
staff
is
recommending
that
everything
be
kept
confidential.
E
The
proposed
amendment
be
added
to
the
regular
public
consultation
process
before
they
go
before
a
final
vote
by
City
Council
and
the
Planning
and
Housing
Committee
reserve
its
decision
until
the
requests
one
and
two
have
occurred.
It's
obviously
crucial
that
the
contents
of
such
amendments
be
publicly
accessible,
so
the
members
of
the
public
can
appropriately
access
those
and
understand
those
proposals
and
weigh
in
on
the
issues,
so
it
seemed
to
us
extraordinary
that
we
want
to
keep
these
confidential.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
any
questions
for
the
speaker,
seeing
none
questions
of
staff.
I
just
want
to
warn
the
members
of
the
committee
that,
depending
on
what
kind
of
questions
you'd
like
to
ask,
we
might
need
to
go
in-camera,
so
we
might
need
to
stand
down
this
item
since
councillor.
Fletcher
also
said
that
she
had
another
item
to
go
in
camera.
So
are
there
any
questions
of
staff
seeing
none
can
I
just
given
the
comment
from
the
speaker?
Can
staff
just
let
us
know?
A
A
H
Towns
for
perks,
okay,
so
first
of
all
bear
with
me:
I
received
this
yesterday
at
3:45
and
it's
a
complete
change
and
a
very
complex
change,
so
I'm
not
sure
I
understand
all
of
it.
If
we
approve
this,
comparing
the
circumstance
we're
in
today
and
the
circumstance
we
will
be
in
if
this
is
approved,
how
many
additional
times
does
a
TCH
see
revitalization
project
come
to
City
Council
for
approval.
H
H
H
There's
there's
language
in
here
about
you
know
what
why
we
have
to
have
conversations
with
all
these
different
members
of
the
Toronto
Public
Service,
for
you
know,
city
building
purposes,
or
something
like
that.
What
are
those
city
building
purposes
that
are
different
from
things
that
the
Planning
Department
would
normally
review.
L
Through
the
chair,
a
counselor
C
planning
would
review
the
planning
application.
There
are
other
divisions
within
the
city
that
have
an
interest
with
respect
to
revitalization.
This
is
public
land
and
potentially
the
collocation
of
other
public
services
and
public
facilities
on
those
lands.
It's
an
important
part
of
state
building
and
similarly,
the
financial
implications
of
the
project
may
in
some
instances
involve
a
contribution
in
the
form
of
either
capital
or
operating
just
by
way
of
example,
councillor.
L
Through
the
chair,
there
was
a
social
development
plan
that
had
been
created,
and
part
of
it
had
happened
through
that
process,
and
also
some
of
it
frankly
was
informal
and
ad-hoc.
What
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
to
create
a
process
where
there's
certainty,
where
everyone
who
has
a
part
to
play,
is
contributing
and
being
a
part
of
the
success
of
these
initiatives.
Is
there.
H
C
H
If
I'm
reading
recommendations
three
through
five
correctly,
it
effectively
requires
it's,
not
the
purpose
of
it,
but
it
effectively
requires
the
TCH
see
always
have
a
private
development
partner.
Is
that
it's
sort
of
built
in
there?
Is
that
correct
in
true
six
actually
as
well?
They
all
make
reference
to
a
private
development
partner.
L
B
Yes,
thank
you,
and
this
is
report-
is
coming
back
since
we
had
this
earlier,
and
we've
asked
for
a
supplemental,
and
now
we
have
that
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
a
little
bit,
and
this
was
coupled
really
with
the
Auditor
General's
report,
which
indicated
that
there
had
not
been
an
introduction
of
affordable
housing
in
the
revitalizations
at
TC.
Hc
is
undertaken.
Any
substantial,
affordable
housing
introduced.
K
Corrected
share.
The
the
Auditor
General's
report
recommended
that
TC
HD
in
the
city
have
a
much
more
stronger
and
robust
process
to
look
at
for
looking
at
other
city
building
objectives
or
priorities,
whether
it
be
affordable,
housing,
other
community
needs
or
social
needs
for
a
community
as
part
of
the
process
and.
B
K
B
B
B
C
B
B
F
B
B
Know
what's
in
there,
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
wish
to
go
into
camera.
I
wish
to
understand
that
a
little
bit
more
and
that's
it
so
the
also
in
tenants
first,
which
is
coming
to
executive
on
July
the
4th.
That's
tomorrow,
there's
a
plan
that
the
revitalization
operation
at
Toronto,
Community
Housing,
would
migrate
to
create
teal
I'm
just
going
to
ask
the
deputy
city
manager,
that's
the
plan,
so
the
overall
housing
now
approach
would
be
very
much
applied
to
all
of
the
sites,
including
Dawn
Somerville.
B
J
L
J
L
J
L
J
L
Did
due
diligence
exercise
on
the
sites
will
include
particularly
a
check
in
with
planning
with
respect
to
proposed
built
form.
This
is
exactly
what
we're
doing
in
the
sites
that
we're
presenting
related
to
the
housing
now
initiative.
It
will
also
include
due
diligence
around
the
financial
implications
of
redevelopments
risks
associated
with
the
developments
and
what
other
city,
building
objectives
and
colocation
of
city
facilities
could
occur
within
these
developments.
So.
J
L
Councillor
through
the
chair,
it's
important
that
we
get
this
right,
we're
building
communities
that
will
be
there
for
a
hundred
years,
plus
and,
as
I've
indicated
I
think
everyone
is
looking
to
row
in
the
same
direction
and
expedite
and
speed
these
revitalizations
along,
but
we
also
want
to
get
them
right.
I.
J
Guess,
yeah
and
I'm
with
you
a
hundred
percent
but
I
guess
my
concern
and
I'm
sorry
to
belabor
this,
but
the
three
main
recommendations
in
the
report
setting
out
the
new
process
for
all
TCH
sites
direct
this
strategic
program
management
committee
to
make
a
decision
before
anything
actually
comes
to
Council.
But
the
report
doesn't
give
us
any
information
about
how
those
proposals
will
actually
be
evaluated
that
that's
like
we
could
talk
about
build
form
but
and
we
could
talk
about
the
financial
impacts.
But
there's
not
a
lot
of
detail.
J
K
Through
the
chair,
my
recollection
of
that
process
is
that
the
revitalization
sites
would
come
through
for
council
approval,
but
other
reset'
projects
etc
would
not
necessarily
come
through
to
count
for
council
approval.
So
this
is
looking
at
TCH.
See
will
continue
to
look
at
their
lands
and
identify
opportunities,
whether
they
need
to
replace
the
rgr
units
or
redevelop
a
site.
K
All
that
we're
asking
is,
as
they
identify
those
opportunities
to
have
a
preliminary
discussion
with
the
city
with
the
city
divisions
here
through
coordinated
through
the
Housing
Secretariat,
so
that
when
we
come
forward
to
Council,
we've
already
done
our
due
diligence.
We're
not
coming
forward
with
one
for
opportunities
that
TCH
C
has
identified
in
isolation.
We're
coming
forward
with
taking
a
whole
city
approach
to
it.
Okay,.
J
K
The
same
approach
but
they're
droughts
there
there
aren't
there
isn't
gonna,
be
as
much
time
required
on
the
smaller
sites.
Hopefully
they
should
go.
That
process
should
be
a
little
more
streamlined.
We
will
work
with
finding
time
to
understand
the
densities
and
the
opportunities
on
the
smaller
sites.
The
idea
isn't
to
slow
it
down.
It's
just
that
when
these
opportunities
come
forward
to
council,
that
council
has
the
full
information
before
it,
so
it
can
make
its
best
decisions.
Okay,.
J
A
Thank
you
any
further
questions.
I
do
have
some
questions.
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
few
things
and
maybe
use
some
examples
of
what
we're
going
through
so,
for
example,
the
site
at
fir
Grove.
It
includes
everything
from
a
possible
childcare,
a
pool,
a
community
space
that
we,
for
example,
don't
know
if
those
divisions
are
going
to
be
funding
or
not.
A
A
Correct
and
at
this
table
that
I
can
see
how
some
people
look
at
all
these
people
that
have
to
be
consulted
and
it's
like
a
lot
of
them,
but
all
these
people
are
actually
part
of
your
strategic
table.
There's
going
to
be
a
review
table
that
yeah,
it's
gonna,
be
then
able
to
comment
from
all
the
different
areas.
Correct.
That's.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
Yes,
I
do
have
a
motion
that
I
believe
has
been
circulated
or,
if
not
it's
going
up
on
the
board,
which
would
basically
have
us
work
on
the
Don
Somerville
project
between
now
and
Council,
which
just
gives
us
a
couple
of
weeks
and
look
at
doing
a
number
of
things
you
can
see
them
all.
There
I
think
that
it
would
be
great
to
achieve
more,
affordable
rental
on
the
site.
As
they
did
say.
B
This
site
has
gone
from
a
hundred
percent
market
condo
to
outside
of
the
replacements,
to
a
total
of
50
percent
rental,
but
getting
more
affordable
rental
units
would
be
fantastic.
I'd
like
to
see
the
engagement
run
a
little
differently
than
currently
exists
and
look
at
a
resident
sector
target,
as
we've
done
in
a
number
of
different
places.
We're
talking
about
sector
housing.
Is
it
possible
to
do
that?
B
Look
at
having
our
a
auch,
which
is
right
across
the
street,
Apple
Grove
being
more
involved
and
I
guess
I'd
be
directing
that
to
the
DCM
as
ways
to
do
that
they
are
staying
in
the
neighborhood
and
they
will
be
there
for
a
long
time.
So
having
those
relationships
built
now
is
very
important
and
then
look
at
the
guiding
principles
that
are
in
this
report
and
just
see
how
we're
able
to
match
up
I
have
gone
through
myself
and
see
that
out
of
eight
of
them.
B
I
think
that
we
can
achieve
about
seven
out
of
the
eight,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
all
in
agreement
to
that
and
I.
Think
there's.
Is
there
one
more
H?
Is
there
an
H
there
No,
so
I
did
just
G,
there's
no
H,
just
G
okay.
So
those
are
the
motions
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
working
very
hard
on
this
and
I.
Do
want
to
really
think
mr.
B
Cohen,
where,
where
is
he
today
for
your
patience
in
this
long
exercise
of
the
city
and
TCH,
see
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
approach
revitalization
sites?
And
you
have
been
on
a
site
and
in
the
election
it
was
very
clear
that
affordable
housing
is
something
that
is
on
everybody's
mind
every
day,
every
family
and
achieving
affordable
housing
on
the
TCH
see
revitalization
sites
is
been
my
goal
since
I
took
this
area
over
as
tch
knows,
and
city
knows
and
developer
knows
and
as
well.
B
It
is
a
subject
of
the
Auditor
General
saying
you
can't
just
use
this
land
for
replacement
and
market
condos.
So
I
do
want
to
thank
everybody,
particularly
mr.
Cohen
and
the
TCH
staff
and
mr.
garden,
for
coming
up
with
a
different
model
here.
That
I
think
will
meet
what
I'm
going
to
say.
The
city's
needs
at
this
point,
and
also
it
comes
at
a
time
when
we're
shifting
how
development
would
be
done
in
the
city
regarding
affordable
housing
and
for
TCH
C.
B
So
this
gives
us
a
chance
right
off
the
get-go
to
look
at
how
to
manage
this
redevelopment,
probably
in
a
little
bit
of
a
different
way,
with
much
more
involvement
by
the
housing
Secretariat
and
by
create
teal
and
I
did
mention.
That
executive
will
have
tomorrow
a
plan
to
shift
the
development
development
portfolio
to
create
teal.
B
I
know
we
can
work
together
in
the
next
two
weeks
to
make
some
of
these
changes
so
that
this
will
be
a
development
that
didn't
get
left
behind
in
the
housing
now
approach
it
didn't
get
left
behind
and
how
important,
affordable
housing
is
enough
to
the
city
to
the
residents
and
that
were
up-to-the-minute
and
what
we're
doing.
As
far
as
the
Lawrence
Heights
and
the
remaining
80
acres
and
the
ability
to
achieve
affordable
housing
on
those
I
think
that's
very
clearly
a
goal
for
the
city
and
for
fir
Grove.
B
It's
basically
the
same,
because
there
are
no
binding
agreements.
There
is
a
binding
MOU
on
this
site,
which
really
I'd
say
that,
within
that
these
negotiations
have
been
very
successful
and
I
hope
we'll
continue
on
to
achieve
what
this
motion
sets
out.
So
thanks
everybody,
let's
get
to
Council
and
have
a
few
more
things
that
we
can
achieve
and
then
have
a
great
development
on
Queen
Street.
Thank
you.
B
F
F
H
A
H
In
other
words,
what
it
does
is
cement
the
notion
that
the
way
we
pay
for
maintaining
the
social
housing
that
we
have
is
to
sell
publicly
owned
land
land
that
is
owned
by
our
housing
company
to
a
for-profit
developer
effectively.
What
this
does
is
shrink
the
city's
capacity
to
provide
affordable
housing
in
the
long
run
by
selling
off
our
housing
lands
to
make
sure
that
for-profit
developers,
land
financers
and
mortgage
brokers
all
get
richer
off
a
public
asset.
H
Everyone
in
the
city
keeps
insisting
that
the
number
one
priority
is
to
build
affordable
housing,
but
that
the
are
actual
action
seemed
to
be
that
our
number-one
priority
is
to
take
a
public
eye
set
and
hand
it
over
to
people
who
want
to
enrich
themselves.
It's
exactly
the
opposite
of
what
we
claim
to
be
doing.
If
we
truly
believed
that
we
should
be
taking
public
lands
and
building
affordable
housing,
we
would
not
be
inviting
in
private
sector
development
partners.
H
We
would
be
building
the
capacity
either
within
TCH
C
or
within
the
not-for-profit
and
co-op
sector
to
act
as
the
developers
on
these
lands.
Sure
they'd
have
to
hire
a
builder,
but
we
would
maintain
these
lands
as
lands
where
we
build
social
housing.
If
we
really
meant
what
we
say
in
public
about
our
commitment
to
solving
the
affordable
housing
crisis,
we
would
be
taking
a
different
approach.
H
It's
time
to
look
under
the
hood
for
how
we
actually
deal
with
public
lands
and
I.
Ask
ourselves
the
simple
question:
who
should
benefit
from
things
that
we
as
a
society
own
through
our
governments?
Should
it
be
private
land,
speculators
and
developers
and
mortgage
lenders,
or
should
it
be
the
people
who
are
struggling
to
find
housing?
H
To
my
mind,
the
question
is
simple
and
obvious
and
I
want
city
staff
to
show
us
a
path
for
how
the
social
side
co-ops
not-for-profits
and
our
publicly
owned
housing
company
can
act
as
the
developer
so
that
the
profits,
instead
of
going
in
into
private
hands
and
then
disappearing
from
the
housing
sector
altogether,
are
kept
in
the
housing
sector
to
maintain
the
quality
of
the
building
and
to
build
the
next
tranche
of
affordable
housing.
It's
as
simple
and
obvious
as
that.
B
H
H
H
I
know
this
is
something
you're
passionate
about
I
know
that,
just
recently
there
was
a
conference
at
U
of
T
that
you
attended
where
those
those
actors
that
you're
describing
brought
in
expertise
from
British
Columbia,
where
they
are
building
the
capacity
of
the
coop,
not-for-profit
and
public
housing
sector.
To
do
this
work,
it's
it's
something
that
unless
we
as
a
committee
and
council,
send
a
strong
message
on
will
never
happen.
Then.
J
Yep
great
thanks
very
much
so
I
see
this
report
kind
of
in
two
pieces.
The
first
part
is
setting
out
a
framework
for
making
sure
we're
we're
trying
to
leverage
the
most
out
of
very
limited
to
the
assets.
These
are
once
in
a
generation
opportunity.
If
we
can
get
a
good
process
in
place,
we
will
look
back
on
this
and
we'll
be
grateful
and
we'll
have
actually
made
some
progress
on
our
goals
and
our
targets
here
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
J
The
second
piece
is
is
more
concerning
for
me,
as
you've
heard
in
my
questions
and
comments
today
and
I'm
concerned
that
we've
actually,
you
know
in
in
the
need
to
develop
a
modernized
process.
We've
we've
muddied
that
with
the
urgent
need
to
deliver
affordable
housing
on
these
three
sites.
When
I
read
the
report-
and
admittedly
we
just
kind
of
read
it
last
night
that
in
and
it
is
a
complicated
report
but
I'm
not
seeing
how
we're
delivering
new,
affordable
housing
on
these
three
sites
as
quickly
as
possible.
J
J
We
can
discuss,
but
we
do
need
to
be
building
affordable
housing
as
quickly
as
possible,
we're
supposed
to
be
working
towards
our
city's
priority
of
40,000
units,
and
it
seems
like
with
some
of
the
discussion
in
the
process
here,
we're
actually
setting
up
barriers
to
three
sites
that
are
ready
to
go.
My
comments
and
questions
were,
of
course
around
Dawn
Somerville.
That's
a
that's
immediately
adjacent
to
my
ward
there
on
Cox
well,
and
because,
when
you
look
when
you
look
at
the
report
on
page
13,
you
know
you
see
the
new
proposed
plan.
J
You
see
195
market
rental
units,
you
see,
75,
affordable
rental
units,
270
new
rental
units.
You
got
the
120
rgi.
This
is
stuff
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
forward
and
and
and
staff
directions
to
report
back
again
after
two
months
of
reporting,
with
another
report
update
that
actually
doesn't
give
us
the
direction.
I'm,
not
happy
about
that.
J
There's
been
tenant
consultation
meetings,
there's
been
QA
online
for
tenants.
The
process
actually
started
in
twenty
twenty
twelve,
that's
on
TCH
C's
website
and
and
again
that
the
report
is
saying:
let's
have
another
report
in
the
fall,
so
you
got
to
ask
ourselves
like
how
did
we
get
here?
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
to
that,
but
I
think
it's
critical
that
we
move
faster
on
the
sites
where
we
can,
where
we
can
really
deliver
affordable
housing.
I
really
do
appreciate
councillor
Fletcher's
motion
to
bring
this
to
Council
in
two
weeks
time.
J
I
will
certainly
be
looking
forward
to
having
a
decision
on
this
and
I
think
it's
an
important
conversation.
It
really
sets
the
tone
here
in
the
city.
We
have
our
eleven
housing
now
sites.
We
have
more
sites
coming
in
the
in
the
pipeline
and
the
message
we
need
to
send
is
that
there
is
a
clear
and
predictable
pathway
forward
to
actually
unlock
these
sites
and
and
whatever
that.
That
looks
like
that's
something
that
we
can
discuss,
but
it
has
to
be
clear.
It
has
to
be
consistent
and
we
have
to
get
going
with
this
there's.
J
Also.
You
know
a
number
of
additional
city-owned
parcels
in
this
area
and
I
do
think.
If
we're
moving
forward
with
this
new
approval
process,
we
should
be
identifying
all
of
the
opportunities
in
the
wards
lining
them
up
and
leveraging
those
assets
together.
I've
spoken
with
staff
at
create
EO
about
these
properties,
and
these
offered
and
these
opportunities
there's
some
agreement
there.
J
So
I
would
like
to
see
that
move
forward
with
some
precinct
planning
or
discussions
around
these
opportunities
in
the
collective
we've
had
a
very
productive
six
months
here
on
this
committee,
we've
passed
and
moved
a
number
of
really
important
initiatives,
but
we
have
to
do
more.
I
do
find
aspects
of
this
report
were
frustrating,
but
I
am
glad
we're
moving
forward
with
the
clarity
on
how
we're
actually
going
to
secure
city
building
objectives.
J
I
Three
words,
and
that
is
I'll-
be
supporting
staff
recommendations
and
councillor
Fletcher's
I'm,
not
supporting
councilor
perks,
because
there
simply
isn't
any
capacity
for
such
an
effort.
It's
already
very
strained.
We
all
know
that,
and
it's
not
the
role
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
that
motion
before
us.
A
Thank
you
to
speak.
Let
me
turn
myself
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
staff
from
bringing
us
this
report.
I.
Think
many
of
us
had
some
concerns
from
the
last
time.
The
report
was
here
and
I
think
we
need
to
step
back
and
understand
the
actual
shift
that
has
happened
in
the
city
in
the
way
that
we've
been
dealing
with
our
land
just
a
few
years
ago.
Not
that
long
ago,
maybe
I
would
say
three.
Four
years
ago
we
were
selling
land
for
cash.
That's
what
the
city
was
doing.
A
A
We've
also
now
worked
with
TC
HC,
who,
let's
be
honest,
has
done
an
incredible
amount
of
work,
given
the
resources
that
they
had
to
leverage
that
their
land
to
actually
deal
with
an
issue
that
was
for
many
years,
ignored
by
all
three
levels
of
government,
which
was
the
backlog
for
years.
This
corporation
was
left
to
themselves
without
you
know,
and
having
to
deal
with
revitalizations
and
everything
to
deal
with
the
backlog.
A
So
what
we're
doing
now
is
actually
partnering
with
our
own
corporation
to
say:
no,
it's
not
only
good
enough
to
replace
the
rgi
units
because
we're
coming
to
the
table
we're
bringing
cash,
we're
bringing
other
levels
of
government
to
help
with
you
with
that
issue
as
well,
and
since
we're
doing
that,
let's
take
the
opportunity
to
use
that
land
and
do
something
else,
and
it's
not
only
on
TC
HC
to
do
that.
It's
on
the
city,
it's
on
all
the
departments,
it's
about
building
communities!
A
A
Think
we
need
to
turn
that
process
around
and
started
with
a
bigger
commitment
from
the
city
on
city
building
and
community
building
from
the
beginning
and
saying
TCH
see,
go
ahead
were
right
here
behind
you
and
we
acknowledge
that
this
is
not
your
project.
This
is
our
project
and
that
the
city
baizen
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
we're
hoping
that
this
is
going
to
create
as
more
certainty
to
the
developers
so
that,
after
you
sign
an
MoU
after
you
sign,
you
go
out.
A
You
know
for
sure
that
the
city
is
already
behind
this
project
and
that
you
have
no
surprises
throughout
the
process.
So
I
think
that
that's
the
that's
where
we
want
to
head
is
that
that
creates
some
certainty.
It
creates
better
communities
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
leverage
our
assets
to
the
highest
potential
and
I
think
that
councillor
perks
brings
an
important
point,
which
is
a
capacity
building
off
our
nonprofit.
We've
been
trying
hard
to
do
that.
We
we
did
it
through
the
housing.
A
Now,
there's
specifically
money
allocated
there
specifically
sites
allocated
that
are
going
to
be
marketed
specifically
to
the
nonprofit
sector
and
that's
work
that
we
as
a
city
need
to
do
is
work
hand
in
hand,
because
we
need
to
do
capacity
building
without
our
nonprofits
sector,
so
that,
eventually,
when
we
have
sites
that
we
need
to
build
2,000
units,
we
have
people
with
the
sector
out
there
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
say
we'll,
take
it
we're
gonna,
do
it
and
and
that
we
have
it.
We
have
it
in
in
perpetuity.
A
So
I
am
happy
to
to
support
that.
I
do
have
also
a
motion
to
add
to
councillors
Fletcher's
motions
on
on
Somerville,
which
is
actually
about
the
jobs
that
sometimes
we
get
created
through
these
programs.
We
we
can
leverage
these
things
I'm
a
big
proponent
of
social
procurement
and
loving
jobs
opportunities
as
we
are
developing
these
sites
as
we
are
creating
jobs.
Let's
make
sure
that
our
tenants
are
also
benefiting
of
that,
and
let's
do
it
in
a
proper
way.
A
Let's
make
sure
we
document
that,
let's
make
sure
we
understand
that
we
are
actually
giving
the
opportunity
giving
careers
to
some
of
our
tenants.
That's
how
you
fully
revitalize
the
communities,
it's
not
only
about
the
brick
and
mortars.
It's
about
people's
lives
as
well,
so
I
hope
that
I
can
also
get
your
support
for
this
part
of
the
motion
and
I'm
moving
staffs
recommendations.
A
A
C
C
C
A
M
I
have
sought
to
address
this
committee
on
the
subject
of
Toronto's
housing
crisis
and
what
we
think
this
city
this
province
and
this
country
can
learn
from
a
highly
successful
social
housing
program
underway
in
the
Bolivarian
Republic
of
Venezuela
I
endorse
all
efforts
to
expand,
Toronto's
housing
allowance
program,
including
the
creation
of
a
new
upper
tier
of
the
municipal
land
transfer
tax,
the
Ontario
priorities.
Housing
initiative
should
address
priorities
in
the
areas
of
housing,
supply
and
affordability.
M
Its
achievement
over
the
past
eight
years
is
nothing
less
than
spectacular,
I
call
it
a
social
wonder
of
the
modern
world
and
I
propose
that
this
committee
and
council
as
a
whole
takes
some
positive
action.
I
suggest
that
you
invite
experts
from
Venezuela
to
come
to
Toronto
to
share
their
knowledge
of
the
grand
mission,
vivienda
the
great
housing
project
and
send
some
city
councilors,
and/or
social
housing
officials
to
Venezuela
to
witness
and
learn
about
housing
achievements
in
that
South
American
country.
This
can
be
done
at
no
expense
to
City.
Council
here
are
some
facts.
M
2014,
at
all
l
told
the
assembly
quote
the
ground
mission.
Vivienda
continues
to
be
an
example
to
the
world
that
housing
in
Venezuela
is
a
social
right
rather
than
a
commodity.
Close
quote.
The
ground
mission
has
been
operative
for
eight
years.
Its
aim
is
to
counter
social
exclusion
and
injustice
due
to
the
historic
housing
deficit
in
Venezuela.
It
has
housed
two
million
six
hundred
and
twenty
one
thousand
seven
hundred
and
three
Venezuelan
families
throughout
the
country.
It
was
created
by
President,
Hugo
Chavez,
inspired
when
in
2011
a
powerful
freak
storm
left,
100,000
families
homeless.
M
It
has
been
carried
forward
by
President
Nicolas
Maduro,
even
in
these
days
of
economic
warfare
waged
against
the
country.
Illegal
sanctions
by
the
USA
Canada
and
the
EU
have
robbed
Venezuela
of
its
foreign
accounts.
It's
gold
deposits
and
have
disrupted
oil
exports,
blocked
international
commerce,
causing
a
shortage
of
food
and
medicines.
This
has
caused
the
deaths
of
40,000
Venezuelans,
especially
those
in
a
precarious
state
of
health.
In
November
2018,
the
keys
to
home
number
2,400,000
were
given
to
a
family
in
materon
in
the
state
of
Monegasque.
M
Currently,
130,000
units
are
being
built
of
the
500,000
that
are
scheduled
to
be
finished
this
year.
A
total
of
3
million
housing
units
are
to
be
reached.
This
December
and
5
million
more
are
scheduled
for
completion
by
2025.
The
program
consists
of
housing
that
is
sometimes
fully
constructed
by
professionals
and
others
constructed
by
the
communities
themselves
with
professional
supervision.
M
It
is
not
simply
a
program
of
building
houses
on
an
empty
lot.
It
is
an
endeavor
of
building
communities
with
work
programs,
schools,
daycare,
government
service
offices
markets.
It
does
not
build
isolated,
low
income
ghettos
where
the
poor
are
kept
at
bay.
The
units
are
integrated
throughout
the
cities
and
towns
as
an
organic
part
of
city
and
rural
life.
The
program
develops
agreeable
and
integrated
housing
zones
that
make
available
a
full
range
of
social
services,
from
education
to
health
care,
which
likens
its
vision
to
that
of
the
new
urbanism
model.
M
Well,
I'll
have
to
come
back
five
months
from
now
to
finish
this
proposal,
but
I'll
just
conclude
by
saying
that
people
can
access
credit
for
the
program
called
credit
habitat
which
president
Maduro
has
just
increased
to
us
40
million
dollars
and
allows
individuals
to.
Thank
you
gauge
in
this
thing
last
sent
you
a
sentence.
I.
M
A
K
Morning,
so,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you.
Counselors
and
staff.
The
Toronto
alliance
and
homelessness,
as
you
know,
is
a
collective
impact
initiative
working
to
end
homelessness
in
Toronto
and
we're
also
your
and
these
Community
Advisory
Board
on
homelessness.
Our
vision
is
zero,
chronic
homelessness
in
Toronto,
which
means
at
any
given
time
we
have
more
housing
than
we
have
people
experiencing
homelessness.
K
K
There's
no
doubt
that
housing
allowances
are
a
critical
tool
and
ending
people's
homelessness
allowances,
provide
a
pathway
to
stable
housing
and
effectively
prevent
and
divert
people
from
experiencing
homelessness.
In
turn,
this
keeps
people
out
of
shelter
releasing
some
of
the
well-documented
and
wildly
understood.
Sorry
widely
understood
pressures
on
our
city's
emergency
system,
including
respite
centres,
where
people
are
now
aging
into
chronic
homelessness.
K
K
So
since
then,
the
use
of
the
Fe
Ontario
provincial
housing
initiative
funds
for
this
allowance
has
been
established.
It's
in
the
report
and
it's
critical
that
this
funding
be
used
in
this
way,
because
it
maintains
not
only
the
benefits
of
those
people
that
were
were
on
the
old
Toronto
housing
allowance
program.
It
adds
significant
new
people
to
that
allowance.
K
Housing
allowances
to
be
effective
for
all
people
living
in
homelessness
must
also
be
strategically
designed
to
meet
today's
realities.
This
means
that
they
must
honestly
respond
to
the
current
cost
of
housing
in
Toronto
and
the
disparity
between
this
and
the
income
of
most
people
needing
an
allowance.
For
example,
it
must
be
deep
enough
per
household
to
make
up
the
difference
between
the
O
W
shelter
allowance
maximum
of
three
hundred
ninety
dollars
per
month
for
a
single
adult
and
the
true
average
market
rent
in
Toronto.
K
The
affordability
gap
here
cannot
be
overstated
in
2017,
the
city
itself
identified
that
the
difference
between
CMH
C
average
market
rents,
which
is
our
traditional
benchmark
and
the
real
lasting
rents
in
Toronto,
was
anywhere
between
forty
to
sixty
eight
percent,
there's
a
chart
in
the
deputation
we
submitted
back
in
May.
That
shows
the
difference
for
a
variety
of
apartment
sizes.
It
means,
however,
that
instead
of
designing
an
allowance
to
meet
average
market
rent,
we
need
to
make
these
allowances
deep
enough
to
afford
the
asking
rent
of
in
real
time.
K
In
other
words,
a
target
of
80
percent
of
average
market
rent
is
no
longer
enough
to
create
true
affordability
and
to
end
people's
homelessness.
We
recommend
it
be
a
hundred
percent
of
average
market
rent
to
other
critical
points.
We
recommend
as
part
of
any
new
tool
our,
but
it
reflect
the
real
cost
of
rental
housing
by
moving
up
and
down
as
rents,
do
and
that
housing
allowance
has
become
permanently
available
for
all
relocations,
including
illegal
evictions,
and
that
could
be
something
that
the
new
task
force.
I.
K
As
the
city's
Community
Advisory
Board,
we
will
be
working
with
s
sha
and
the
housing
Secretariat
to
identify
opportunities
through
our
coordinated
work,
including,
but
not
limited
to
housing,
Toronto,
the
SSH,
a
service
planning
and
the
reaching
home
investments
we'll
be
able
to
work
and
look
at
how
all
these
revenue,
sources
and
program
guidelines
can
be
used
to
increase
our
pool
of
housing
allowances
and
to
make
some
of
them
deeper.
For
the
reasons
I
just
noted,
we'll
also
be
looking
at
the
Kofi
investment
plan.
K
A
I
L
Counselor
through
the
chair,
it
wasn't
as
much
the
concern
with
the
MLT
GT.
It
was
the
fact
that
there
was
an
alternate
source
of
revenue,
it
that
was
provided
by
the
federal
and
provincial
governments,
and
so
this
was
essentially
a
tailor-made
revenue
source
that
could
be
used
to
do
this,
and
that
seemed
to
be
the
approach
that
was
the
best
one
to
be
taken.
So.
I
J
L
Councillor
through
the
chair,
there
are
a
number
of
other
initiatives
that
this
funding
will
be
used
and
deployed
for
the
next
report.
It
deals
with
those.
It
also
includes
a
capital
for
new
housing
developed
in
partnership
with
the
nonprofit
sector,
as
well
as
repairs
for
seniors
eligible
repairs
for
low-income
seniors
in
their
homes,
and
then,
lastly,
it
provides
for
a
small
homeownership
component
for
first-time
homebuyers
as
well.
Okay,.
J
K
Through
the
chair
through
the
chair,
our
occupancy
remains
fairly
steady
at
above
90
percent,
even
though
we
have
increased
capacity
by
a
few
thousand
beds,
it's
very
difficult
to
predict
demand
in
the
shelter
system,
given
the
complexities
of
people's
needs,
but
I
would
anticipate
that
we
will
continue
to
experience
the
same
level
of
pressure.
Okay,.
J
K
The
chair,
we
had
a
report
for
information
at
EC
DC
this
month,
giving
an
update
on
that.
We
have
located
80
percent
of
the
beds
required
for
the
thousand
beds.
They
will
come
online
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
Various
construction
schedules
we
continue
to
search
for
the
last
few
properties,
but
staff
have
made
excellent
progress
on
that
initiative.
However,
even
with
the
300
new
beds
that
we
already
have
online
this
year,
we
have
not
seen
an
impact
on
the
occupancy.
K
H
L
A
K
A
K
K
A
I
want
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
that,
so
how
do
we
make
sure
that
people
are
being
housed
in
a
stable
condition?
There
are
capped
housing.
Are
we
following
up?
Are
we
keeping
track
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
successful
and
that
people
are
not
just
you
know
house
for
a
few
months,
and
then
you
know
back
on
the
street
again
like
how
do
we
support
that
work?
Counselor.
K
So
we
we
do
track
people
we
continue
to
follow
up
with
them.
We've
been
really
pleased
to
see
that
we
have
more
than
an
80
percent
rape
staying
housed
after
one
year.
So
you
know
when
people
are
matched
with
the
right
supports
and
the
right
housing
solution
they
do
on.
The
most
part
have
success.
Okay,.
A
3200
subsidies
that
we
were
created,
so
we
used
now
this
the
money
from
the
provincial
and
federal
government,
and
we
have
different
programs
that
could
be
used.
But
we
chose
a
big
chunk
of
this
to
be
specifically
targeted
at
this
population
to
target
this
issue.
Is
that
an
option
that
we
had
and
that.
K
Is
correct:
counselor
we
had
a
pressure
where
the
money
that
we
had
been
using
to
house
people
with
housing
allowances
had
reached
the
end
and
we
needed
to
either
stop
placing
people
with
housing
allowances
or
find
a
new
funding
source,
and
this
provided
us
with
that
option
and
again
we
need
to
make
sure
we
continue
to
move
people
through
our
homeless
shelter.
It
is
meant
to
be
a
temporary
place
for
people
until
they
can
secure.
A
I
I'll
just
say
a
couple
make
a
couple
points,
and
that
is
that
I,
you
know
I
agree
with
staffs
take
on
this
and
their
recommendation
and
the
availability
of
the
other
of
the
other
funding
sources
that
are
now
in
play,
and
that's
really
all
I
wanted
to
say.
I
think
I
think
them
for
this
report
and
for
looking
at
these
alternate
options.
A
Thank
you
so
much
councillor,
Robinson
I,
do
have
two
motions.
One
motion
is
to
basically
continue
the
very
close
work
collaboration
that
we've
been
having
with
the
Toronto
Alliance
to
End
Homelessness.
It
has
been
really
beneficial,
I
think
staff
could
agree
with
me
that
has
been
really
beneficial
to
work
closely
with
them
on
implementing
and
tracking
and
getting
their
feedback
on
on
how
to
target
chronic
homelessness
and
and
really
focus
these
funds
to
ensure
that
we're
housing
people
and
that
we're
keeping
them
housed
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
collaboration
continues.
A
Everybody
understands
that
we
need
to
build,
is
more
housing
and
particular
supportive
housing,
and
that
that
takes
time
and
that's
why
it
is
so
important
to
have
programs
like
this
around
housing
allowances
so
that
we
can
immediately,
as
of
August,
start
taking
some
of
the
pressure
away
and
making
sure
that
that
we
has
people
as
soon
as
possible.
So
it's
over
3,000
that
we're
gonna
have
at
our
at
our
disposal.
A
It
is
a
great
number
I
think
that,
as
a
committee
we'll
be
paying
close
attention
and
how
successful
the
program
we
know
that
last
year
we
had
a
pilot
with
200
housing
allowances
and
it
was
extremely
successful.
This
is
I
think
this
takes
it
to
a
total
different
level,
I'm
happy
to
see
that
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
results
and
continue
to
working
with
the
Toronto
Alliance
to
End
Homelessness.
The
other
motion
I
have
is
around
the
MLT
t.
As
most
of
you
know,
that
was
a
source
of
revenue
that
we
had
identified.
A
We
were
able
to
get
this
program
using
one
source
of
revenue
that
is
the
provincial
and
federal
funds.
However,
with
conversations
with
many
people
around
this,
the
the
municipal
land
transfer
tax,
which
is
all
around
housing
and
real
estate,
it's
it's
the
the
funds
that
we
take
from
our
real
estate.
Lots
of
people
said
you
know,
maybe
it's
time
to
have
a
review
on,
for
example,
the
tears
and
to
make
sure
that
it
actually
responds
to
the
housing
policy
that
we're
trying
to
create.
So,
for
example,
we
have
tears.
We
have
exemptions
for
first-time
homebuyers.
A
Is
that
the
right
kind
of
exemption
we
had
the
proposal
to
create
a
different
tier
is
that
does
that
make
sense?
I
think
that,
instead
of
just
going
into
the
idea
of
one
creating
a
new
tier,
maybe
what
we
need
to
do
is
ensure
that
our
taxing
and
our
financial
policies
match
the
other
policies
that
we're
creating
in
the
city.
A
And
so
that's
why
I'm
asking
the
the
planning
and
housing
secretary
and
our
chief
financial
officer
just
to
make
sure,
as
we
embark
in
a
new
10-year
housing
plan,
that
we
have
the
financial
tools
that
actually
go
hand
in
hand
with,
with
with
the
policies
that
we're
creating
and
and
that
assist
in
furthering
those
goals.
So
with
that
said,
I
ask
for
your
support
for
these
two
motions
and
for
the
report
and
again
thank
you
staff
for
a
good
good
report.
A
I
A
A
So
that's
the
kind
of
conversations
I
think,
instead
of
just
focusing
on
one,
we
have
to
what
kind
of
points
of
the
housing
spectrum
are
going
to
be
touching
with
the
housing
policy
and
something
like
the
land
transfer
tax,
which
is
all
around
the
the
use
of
land
and
real
estate,
should
actually
work
hand
in
hand
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
giving
on
one
hand
and
taking
with
the
other
that
actually
it
works
hand
in
hand
for
the
goals
that
we
hope
that
we
have
as
a
city.
So.
I
A
And
this
isn't,
this
is
there's
certain
things
that
you're
doing
like
I
gave
you
the
example
of
the
first-time
homebuyers
you
exempt
now
first-time
homebuyers.
Why?
Because
you
want
to
create
the
opportunity
for
first-time
homebuyers,
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
buy
that's
a
housing
policy,
so
you
need
to
make
sure
that
your
fiscal
policy
actually
responds
to
your
housing
policy.
A
We
have,
as
you
said,
been
told
by
our
finance
department
that
the
MLT
T
is
not
a
stable
source
of
revenue
that
we
should
actually
divert
much
of
that
money
to
capital
which
we've
started
doing
as
of
last
year.
Should
that
be
going
to
housing?
That's
another
conversation
that
we
should
have,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
a
fiscal
tool
that
is
not
responding
to
the
new
housing
policy
tools
that
we're
actually
creating
these
things
need
to
work
hand
in
hand.
I
You're
not
you're,
not
saying
that
I
mean
you're
this.
This
line
of
aligning
and
supporting
that's
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
that
changing
the
envelope?
Are
you
trying
to
alter
the
what
where
the
funds
go
with
that
with
that
line
or
well
sure
what
your
objective
is
from
that
the
last
three
lines
of
your
emotion:
it.
A
I
F
A
C
A
N
N
3,000
units
of
single
housing
came
about
across
ontario
that
has
to
do
with
this
property
and
beyond
that,
the
subsidies
we've
just
been
discussing.
Subsidies
singles
were
suddenly
allowed
to
get
subsidies
in
public
housing.
This
was
a
great
great
reform,
and
now
we
come
back
to
this
property
that
which
has
seen
such
damage
and
seen
such
horror.
This
property
for
many
years
now
has
been
used
for
speculation.
It's
at
they're,
looking
across
the
street
at
the
suffering
and
the
people
dying.
N
This
happens
all
the
time
and
this
place
this
building
must
be
ours.
We
must
make
it
a
monument
to
this
kind
of
this
kind
of
world
that
we
want.
We
want,
we
don't
want
homelessness,
I,
don't
think
you
want
homelessness,
I
think,
there's
a
degree
of
cowardice
involved,
but
most
people
don't
want
homelessness
and
we
want
that
place
to
be
ours.
We
wanted
a
place
for
ordinary
people
where
I
and
other
people
who
are
ordinary
can
live
and
unaffordable.
N
On
Canada
Day
I
wonder
how
many
people
celebrated
Canada
today
the
way
I
celebrated
Canada
Day.
That
was
just
a
couple
of
days
ago.
I
live
south
of
this
building
on
Sherbourne
and
the
Esplanade
176,
the
Esplanade,
and
in
the
morning
at
the
brown
10:00
a.m.
my
roommate
said.
There's
something
happening
in
the
backyard
here
and
we
looked
out
over
the
balcony
and
we
saw
numerous
police,
maybe
15,
and
they
were
all
near
the
garbage
bins.
A.
N
Homeless,
man
there
named
Aaron
died
there
that
morning
in
my
backyard
he
died
and
this
building
has
remained
empty.
This
building
remains
empty
laughing
at
the
homeless
people
as
they
pass
it.
This
building
should
be
made
for
us
for
us,
ordinary
people
in
this
city
and
we'll
chat
no
more.
This
would
be
one
place
and
it
should
be
an
example
that
you
don't
speculate
and
laugh
and
make
fun,
because
it's
making
fun
when
you
do
nothing
when
people
die
and
get
injured.
