On the agenda
As the city filed it
The Alexandra Park and Atkinson Housing Co-operative Revitalization is a community-led project that will result in refurbishing and rebuilding all of the existing affordable homes, and to provide community benefits including a new community centre, new parkland, investments in social enterprise, and funds for expanded affordable housing on site. Phase One of the Revitalization was approved by City Council in 2012-2013.

For Phase Two of the Revitalization, some changes were adopted in 2018-2019, and as a consequence of ongoing work a number of technical amendments to the zoning by-law and the Section 37 legal agreement are required to bring the Phase Two zoning into force. There is no change to the built form or the community benefits approved in 2018-2019. This Motion is urgent to ensure the next phase of the Alexandra Park and Atkinson Housing Co-operative Revitalization can proceed with in-force zoning and can maintain construction timelines, and minimize risk associated with delays to the joint-venture project.
