This report recommends approval of proposed amendments to Official Plan Amendment No. 189 (2012), Zoning By-law Amendment 1710-2013, and Draft Plan of Subdivision Approval (2014) on the northwest portion of the subject property, know as Phase 2A (Sites 1, 2 and 3) as shown on the key map.

[...]

The proposed Phase 2 changes include an increase to the size of the on-site public park space, changes to the block pattern, relocation of the proposed community centre, changes to approved building heights and massing, the demolition and reconstruction of the apartment building at 73-75 Augusta Square, and general increases in floor area for both the market and social housing portions of the development.

The proposed Official Plan, Zoning By-law, and Draft Plan of Subdivision amendments, and the Rental Housing and Conversion Applications for the balance of Phase 2 require further review and will be reported on in 2019.

These are the new Atkinson Co-op townhomes (front and right). I think the exteriors are complete now and they are just working on the insides. People should be moving in before Christmas.

The taller building on the left is Tridels SQ2 (roof should be done in Nov) and the Tridel townhomes are in the middle.

New report for phase 2 of this project with some changes:


From the report:

As part of the revised Revitalization Plan, additional streets have been introduced on Site 16, between the retained 91 Augusta Square and the new townhouses, to help improve internal circulation.

The revised Plan includes an increase to the on-site parkland dedication by an additional 145 square metres (for a total area of 6,397 square metres) and the relocation of the community centre to the Central Green. In order to accommodate these changes, minor revisions were required to the block layout.The revised site layout and block pattern will be formalized through an amendment to the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision.


Also of note are some changes to the Dundas frontage:

The original Plan also requires that all buildings be situated within a 45-degree angular plane measured from the north side of Dundas Street West. On Sites 8 and 9, the original Plan allows 4 and 5-storey base buildings, respectively, each with one stepback facing Cameron Street. The proposed changes to the Plan lower the podiums facing Dundas Street West to 3 and 4-storeys. To create a comfortable pedestrian space, base buildings on Sites 4 and 6 are stepped back from the street, allowing a 6.0 metre sidewalkfrom curb to building face on Dundas Street West

.....

Above the base building height, the proposed buildings on Sites 4 and 6 are not situated entirely within the 45-degree angular plane as measured from the north side of Dundas Street West. The applicant has proposed that intermittent projections into the angular plane, combined with increased setbacks from the angular plane in other areas, should be permitted to allow for architectural differentiation in the buildings fronting Dundas Street West, provided the resulting impacts of building mass encroaching into the angular plane maintain the original intent of that provision. The City concurs that, in this instance, minor encroachments into the angular plane are appropriate

Is it different from this project?
 
Why is this development taking so long to materialize? We all know demand is there. The planning of this is going on a decade now.
