1510 King Street West - Lightening Rod for Community Debate on Affordable Housing
The former single-family house at 1510 King Street was converted to a rooming house years ago and then eventually left vacant in 1994 when the corporation that owned the property went bankrupt and ownership reverted to the province. It was sold to the current owners in 2003 who have since applied to the Toronto and East York Community Council for an amendment to the zoning by-law to allow 20 dwelling units at this site. The council has granted the application, however it is now being appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by a citizen's group in South Parkdale.

- Attachments below, including the City of Toronto's Final and Supplementary report as well as the citizen's group pamphlet and some correspondence to and from the councillor.
- An audio recording of the January 31st, 2008 PRA meeting where 1510 was debated (starting at minute 34 of the recording)
- The eventual OMB case schedule and decision. (note: the hearing took place Feb. 19 to 22nd)
- Finally, the comments at the end of this article make interesting reading.
