Summary
This Report recommends an amendment to the Zoning By-law for Phases 4 and 5 of the Regent Park revitalization to avoid conflicts with critical City infrastructure and increase the opportunity to provide a range of housing options. The amendment will modify the development permissions for Blocks 4B and 5C/5D to provide the necessary setbacks from City infrastructure and permit additional building massing elsewhere on the block to provide opportunities for additional housing.
