On the next page you will find this quote(pg 18)
Whitby’s Intensification Strategy will:
1. Look at the big picture.
2. Articulate where and how intensification should be
accommodated in Whitby.
3. Set the policy context against which all individual projects will
be evaluated, so that decisions aren’t made on an ad hoc,
piecemeal basis
I am sorry it appears to me as though the statement "so that decisions aren't made on an ad hoc, piecemeal basis" is false and misleading. If you drive a little further west on Hwy #2 from the trailer park, you will find a couple large vacant properties for sale or just vacant. Why are these properties not being investigated for this kind of development without having to displace the tenants from a property which dates back to before most of us were even born.
On page 33 you can find this statement Establishes intensification target for Whitby: 11,963 units between 2015 and 2031 (approx. 45% of res. growth). So is our history going to be wiped out to acomodate some future target at least 5 years if not 16 years before the deadline for that target?
