Multi-Tenant (Rooming) Houses
|
|
|
The City is proposing the creation of city-wide zoning and enhancements to licensing and enforcement of Multi-Tenant (Rooming) Houses (MTHs) to encourage and regulate safe, liveable, well-maintained and affordable housing across the city (adding all of York and Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, Leaside and East York).
A proposal and proposed by-law changes were reviewed at the City Council meeting on July 15th. Numerous communications were received from individuals, residents organizations, university-associated organizations and other social/tenant associations. Over 50 speakers were heard! Councillors then provided their comments and it became obvious that a number of the Wards did not accept the recommendations and the proposed zoning amendments. Mayor Tory spoke indicating that there were insufficient votes to pass the motions. Mayor Tory then put a Motion forward to DEFER the discussion to the Oct 1/4 meeting of City Council to give time for additional discussions. We hope to be advised shortly whether amendments will be made to this proposal.

Ontario Place Redevelopment
The News Release on August 30, 2021 on the Ontario Place Development advised that the province is launching the next phase of engagement, which will include both an online survey and virtual public information sessions. Ontarians will have the opportunity to share their views on how they would like to experience a redeveloped Ontario Place.
“Ontario Place holds a special place in the hearts and minds of Ontarians for the many family-friendly events and activities that have been enjoyed by millions over the past 50 years,” said Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. “That’s why our government is launching a provincewide digital engagement process – we want to hear how Ontarians see themselves using a redeveloped Ontario Place and what features are important to them.”
The public survey is available online through Ontario.ca/OntarioPlace, along with information about the Ontario Place site and the redevelopment process, including the three successful participants. The survey will be open for nine weeks, closing in late October.
In addition to the survey, there will be two provincewide virtual public information sessions on October 13 and 27, which will provide additional opportunities for the public to learn about the planned redevelopment and provide input. More information about the virtual sessions, including how to pre-register, is available on the website.
