Critics of the province’s road map say it will lead to more delays while not producing needed housing supply.

The Ontario government calls it an incentive that will help speed up new home construction and make housing more affordable across the province.provincial housing bill

“The majority of development in Toronto is approved … because we work with people. That takes some time. It certainly takes more than 60 or 90 days to do it right. Why would we be punished for that — not getting to that approval in 60 or 90 days? The logic escapes me. It is not the way to do planning,” he said.

Fees range according to the size and complexity of a project. One site plan application cost $210,780 for a 49-storey, 678-unit mixed-use building. The developer of a 67-unit, seven-storey condo paid $62,605. “It doesn’t take into account the fact that the application will be circulated to all the relevant divisions to consider whether it be child care or other benefits that need to be part of the development.

Whittemore added that sped-up planning comes at a cost in reduced community consultation, community safety and the time it takes to focus on great city-building.

Man who participated in creating housing crisis disagrees with plan to end it. I loathe Ford, but at this point why are we pretending the municipal government establishment has any credibility at all on fighting the housing crisis? They had decades to legalize infill.
