Huh I thought they updated the C-3A zoning years ago but it's still 1-3 FSR for a 3-storey building.

Also, speaking of Broadway, there are a few anti-displacement folks claiming victory over rezonings being pulled, but they don't realize the City pre-zoned their buildings...

Great outcome from the Coast Mental Health redevelopment is the acquisition of the portion of Sophia Street and the closure of a part of the E-W lane to Kingsway - which makes the street so much safer.

Doesn't say anything about there being any supportive housing, but it is inevitable that some of those units will be supportive housing, given the mental health facilities that will be there. Which is cool I guess, but Mt. Pleasant already has more than its fair share of "high maintenance" residents.

Pretty loosey goosey with the details:

Quote:
He said the proposed 364 homes are not considered supportive housing, but emphasized the importance of dignified, safe and accessible housing to prevent a person’s mental health from deteriorating.

“Whilst we do hope to serve people living with mental illness, that is a portion of the population that we will serve here with the 364 homes,” Macdonald said.

“It could include low-income seniors, single-parent families because it is multifamily housing, as well—from studios all the way to four bedrooms. But also for nurses, teachers and those working in the trades.”
I think it's clear that 364 units is a huge amount, and having them for lower income people with jobs is great. That many people living in the same building requiring significant support is too much IMO.
