We're a residential community protected by R2 zoning that
only allows single, semi-detached and duplex housing.
With a few exceptions, the community has seen single and
semi-detached homes constructed.
This has helped us create a better balance of housing types.
The City's new 2003 Official Plan that concentrates on
denser housing to take advantage of existing roads,
utilities and bus routes is a threat to us.
It literally pushes aside zoning protection at the city's
discretion.
The Queensway Terrace North Community Association is
committed to fighting zoning changes that are not compatible
with the current R2 zoning.

A public meeting to discuss the application to
re-zone 931 Pinecrest from a Duplex to a
Fourplex apartment will be held at the gymnasium
at Severn Public School, 2553 Severn Ave.
This meeting will take place at 7 pm. on Thursday,
May 20th.
Bay Ward Councillor Alex Cullen, City Planner
Doug Bridgewater and Architect Angelo Spadola
will be in attendance to hear your views and
explain the re-zoning application.
The Queensway Terrace North Community Association
is opposed to this application.
Our main concerns are over-intensification, lack of
parking, pedestrian and driver safety as well as a
site inadequate for a fourplex.
Your attendance and support is needed.
If you are unable to attend you can express
your views by contacting Councillor Alex Cullen
at 580-2477, or by email:
