Origin
Summary
This report provides information and identifies preliminary issues regarding the
Official Plan Amendment and Rental Housing Conversion applications for the lands at 230-232 Carlton Street and 33 and 39 Aberdeen Avenue.
The Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is proposing to amend the
Official Plan and requesting approval under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code to permit the severance of the existing social housing property into three separate properties that could be conveyed to qualified non-profit housing agencies as part of the Tenants First initiative. Neither the eight existing rental dwelling units nor the 16 existing dwelling rooms on the property would be demolished or converted to a non-residential rental use, and none of the existing buildings would undergo any physical changes, as a result of the applications. Tenants would remain in their homes and would not experience any changes to their tenancies throughout the Official Plan Amendment and severance process.
Staff are currently reviewing the applications, which have been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the Official Plan Amendment application and a tenant consultation meeting for the Rental Housing Conversion application with the Ward Councillor.
