DEMOLITION REQUEST COMMITTEE – MINUTES – 226th meeting held on March 25, 2025 at 4:33 p.m.
⭐ Notable items (5)
The committee approved the demolition of this 1928 home, which is in poor condition and requires significant structural repairs estimated at $550,000. The site will be redeveloped into a two-family dwelling, following recommendations from the local heritage council regarding building materials and parking.
The committee approved the demolition of this underutilized building to allow for the construction of a new two-story, eight-unit multi-family building. This project is part of a broader effort to revitalize and increase density along a collector road.
The committee approved the demolition of this 1955 building, which has been determined to have no heritage value, to make way for two new multi-family buildings containing a total of ten units. While concerns were raised regarding the relocation of current tenants in a low-vacancy market, the committee noted that no regulatory tools exist to force the owner to rehouse them in the new development.
The request was deferred to a future session to ensure tenant rights are protected. Although the applicant claimed the building was vacant, a tenant appeared at the public hearing, and the committee requires proof that proper written notice of the demolition has been provided to all residents.
The committee approved the demolition of this single-family home to allow for a larger residential project consisting of 30 new housing units across three buildings. Despite an active complaint regarding the building's exterior, the committee determined the demolition was appropriate given the significant increase in housing density.
The request to demolish this property was withdrawn because the city is reviewing the application against updated demolition regulations. The public notice on the property was removed, making it impossible to proceed at this session.
