A proposal to create a housing action plan which could result in significant changes to existing zoning regulations will be up for debate today as city council holds its final meeting of 2022.
Mayor John Tory is asking staff to create the action plan and report back on its exact structure in March. Tory, however, has said that the plan should, including amending zoning laws to “increase density within neighbourhoods, creating “transition zones between commercial and residential areas” and “increasing zoning permissions on major streets.”
In addition, the motion calls for city staff to review Toronto’s “urban design guidelines, heritage standards and urban forestry policies” to ensure they align with the goal of expediting the delivery of new housing., also known as the Better Municipal Governance Act, Tory could benefit from the new powers which could allow him to pass certain bylaws with the support of only one-third of city council.“The law is the law, and it's there but I have no desire to use it.
Separate from the housing plan, Tory is also asking council to approve the multi-tenant housing bylaw to make those homes safer for tenants.
