My understanding is it's up to each individual homeowner to add the RC to his/her title. I suspect there will be a lot of pressure from neighbours to conform.

A few communities are in the process of registering a blanket restrictive covenant to preserve their single family only status. Roxboro and Rideau are doing it and I'm sure there will be others. The appeals lawyers are going to get very rich.

She might not axe it, but a new slate of councillors next year could. Should be an interesting 12-months at multiple levels of government.

That's what I'm nervous about. It's hard to tell by the angles of the renderings, but this feels like Metropolitan 2.0.

Woof

Bad news - that's not brick. They note it as this: https://www.adex.ca/products/brik-tex/ Barf

Isn't Calgary getting a similar treatment via the Rivers District CRL? This arena financing would be on top of that.

Oilers fans are paying for it too! ;)

RNDSQR was on the brink of bankruptcy and had to exit the majority of their projects, including this one. This was likely the main reason for the extended delay. Eagle Crest is the current developer of this project - https://www.eaglecrestconstruction.ca/projects/flyover

This is holy shit bad

Anyway you can post a link to the location?

Those cases haven't been challenged by a DC that shadows an existing zoning like R-CG.

I think that goes without saying. My point is there's precedent now, so I wouldn't depend on having a RC as a back-up plan, if the blanket rezoning is approved.

A RC can be overridden by DC land use. See Banff Trail case law. Unless an entire street goes the heritage preservation route, homeowners are SOL.

When dealing with Strategic - absolutely. That money would've disappeared faster than a fart in the wind and the project would've still stalled out.
