As the city filed it
Development fees are regularly waived by City Council to support the construction of affordable housing. City Council, at its meeting on December 17, 2019 (2019.TE11.5), authorized 56 affordable rental housing units to be developed on the Bloor-Dufferin site ("Block F") to be exempt from the payment of development charges, building, planning, and parkland dedication fees in accordance with the terms of the City's Open Door Program.

Road occupancy fees were not included in this exemption, even though staging fees are regularly waived for other affordable housing projects. The staging area required to build Block F safely also landlocks two blocks on the same site (Blocks A and B). As a result, Blocks A and B need to occupy a significant portion of the road to maintain access while Block F is under construction. The road occupancy fees would therefore be waived in full for Block F, and Blocks A and B during the construction of Block F.
Staff recommended
Councillor Alejandra Bravo, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher, recommends that: 1. City Council waive in full all application and permit fees required under City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use of, and City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 441, Fees and Charges, for Temporary Street Occupation Permits for Block F, and Blocks A and B while Block F has a construction staging area in place in the roadway, for 1145-1159 Bloor Street West.
