Has anyone on here seen anything about the rezoning of 543 Elmhurst Road? It's coming up on EPC this Wednesday and I think it looks like a good idea, but all the City Planners reject it and it received a lot of opposition at the Community Committee...
It looks like the the developer wanted to create something like a
pocket neighbourhood at the location but because it would have had to change zoning it had to go to public committee. The development would have created excess tax density for an area that is lacking it. It almost looked like a cul-de-sac, but the roads would be the responsability of the land owner, not the city.
What is even more sad is that the City put together a counter-proposal for the developer to make it all single family dwellings -- even though the property directly north of the one in question is zoned multi-family.
Sometimes, when I read the City is strapped for cash I think "you reap what you sow".
