Did you check to see if this does or does not meet those transition requirements?.....
Also are you taking it in context of what can be built or what is currently built or what the zoning for an urban areas of a city should be.... Also note the zoning in the area only allows amenities along Carling so kind of a chicken vs the egg situation.

As for movement on the Carling LRT development which pays thousands in fees to the city may be forcing there hand to provide the service there plan spells out.
