First- For
27 years, I have lived and worked in Willowdale as a tenant in
properties belonging to the same owner who considered his
tenants as members of his family.
Fieldgate took over the ownership in 2019 and sold it recently with a
considerable profit without putting pressure on its tenants.
The property
management of the new owners immediately increased the rent by
33% for all three tenants, Zaffron Restaurant, Sign and Print,
and Red Rose Bakery. Instead of disclosing the identity or
contact information of the owners for direct negotiation, the
property management continues to send us warnings. .
As both a residential and
commercial tenant of the same landlord of properties located at Yonge/Moore
Park, I realize how commercial tenants are vulnerable, and there is no law
to protect them.
A lot needs to be done! Every journey begins with a single step.
Here I am. Join me in protecting together our neighbours and neighbourhood.
Later-
Having an accommodating new landlord and after months of
negotiations, we could cancel the rent increase and agree on a
five-year lease with a demolition clause not before march 2024.
Unfortunately,
there are no laws to protect commercial tenants in Ontario.
Something should be done. The task is on us, the business
owners. This could be done better with the cooperation of
developers in good faith.

Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods -

Schedule Meetings Information
Missing middle' housing
solutions - Community Consultation
North York
Big changes could be coming to your neighbourhood as Toronto
looks to increase its housing supply by relaxing current
zoning restrictions which limit new construction to
single dwellings on relatively large lots in almost
all of Willowdale and most other areas outside the
downtown.
The City's Planning staff are currently looking at providing
"missing middle" housing in the form of semi-detached units,
duplexes and multiplex units.
To find out more about what's being considered, and to
provide your comments, you are invited to an online
presentation of the Expanding Housing Options in
Neighbourhoods initiative April
5, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
John will be holding an additional meeting for Willowdale
residents only, details to be announced later.
Here are the details of how to join. From a computer, visit https://toronto.webex.com/toronto/j.phpMTID=m858889d93a386e899d231f093f9af7fa .
The webinar number is 2453 750 8141 and the webinar password
is NorthYork. To join by phone, dial +1 647-484-1598. The

Community Consultation on
172 - 186 Finch Avenue West residential redevelopment
City planners and Councillor John
Filion want to hear from the public on a proposed development at
Finch and Grantbrook.
The application, encompassing 172 to 186 Finch Avenue West, 1 to 33
Grantbrook Street and 305 to 3013 Hendon Avenue, proposes 496
residential units in a mix of low and mid-rise buildings and
townhouses, ranging between three and 11 storeys.
This proposal is contrary to the City's planning rules for the area,
as contained in the Finch Ave. Secondary Plan.
The meeting will take place between 7
and 9 p.m. on Thursday April 14, online. To find out
how to log on, visit Toronto's Engagement Webpage at http://www.toronto.ca/cpconsultations. |
- Why The Ontario Municipal Board Appeals Process Has To Go (OMB)
The OMB appeals process takes
control and accountability over planning issues away from communities and
democratically elected officials.The OLT was
formerly known as the
Ontario Municipal Board before it was renamed the Local Planning
Appeal Tribunal in 2018. On June 1, 2021 the Local Planning Appeal
Tribunal was merged with the Environmental Review Tribunal, Board of
Negotiation, Conservation Review Board and the Mining and Lands
Tribunal into a new single tribunal called the Ontario Land
Tribunal.
- Official Plans Amendment
An official plan describes your upper, lower or
single tier municipal council or planning board's policies on how land in your
community should be used. It is prepared with input from your community and
helps to ensure that future planning and development will meet the specific
needs of your community.
- Zoning Bylaws Amendment
An official plan sets out your municipality’s general policies for future land
use. Zoning bylaws put the plan into effect and provide for its day-to-day
administration. They contain specific requirements that are legally enforceable.
Construction or new development that doesn’t comply with a zoning bylaw is not
allowed, and the municipality will refuse to issue a building permit.
