Didn't see a thread, so time to start one up. Originally I thought there were going to be some townhomes on this lot, but now it's a different animal.

Interesting - thanks.

This is LiUNA's new temporary office while 75 James S is built, which I believe they plan to move back in to afterwards. So I imagine this one won't get built until 75 James St. S is built.

It's a pretty basic, unattractive building I have to say. Get rid of the surface parking off of Ferguson, and ideally there should be a corner retail unit at Ferguson and Hunter given the City's vision for Ferguson (which admittingly is taking forever to come together).

I like it and I like the location. Only a 5 minute walk to the GO station and 10 minutes from the downtown core.

This is a not-for-profit housing project, so considering that, this isn't that bad.

The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a Notice of Case Management Conference (formerly known as pre-hearing) for LiUNA’s Wellington Hamilton Non-Profit Housing Inc. zoning appeal at 186 Hunter Street East in Ward 2.

The CMC will be held on January 9, 2023, beginning at 10:00 am via video conference.

The OLT uses GoTo Meetings for video hearings. The access code for the video conference is 442-599-157.

Members of the public can join by phone by dialling 1-647-497-9391, access code 442-599-157.

LiUNA is seeking OLT approval to build a 12-storey residential building with 104 residential units on lands located alongside the south side of Hunter Street between Ferguson Avenue and Liberty Street in Ward 2’s Corktown neighbourhood.


HANDOUT

The developer’s render for a proposed redevelopment of 186 Hunter Street East in Hamilton, Ontario.

They filed their non-decision appeal shortly after the 120-day deadline for Council to decide upon their application passed in June 2022.

The developer’s website, with all development application documents, is https://urbansolutions.info/186-hunter-street-east/.

The OLT case number for the appeal is OLT-22-004063. The OLT page includes contact information for the case coordinator.

I can see this getting a rubber stamp. It's nothing special, but it's needed and well-scaled and a good fit for that parcel of land.

Hopefully they end up using some high quality materials like Kiwi. Right now it looks like a stucco disaster.

[King&James]

no reason why this should be going to OLT and wasting more taxpayers cash. City must find a way to get through straight-forward apps faster, even if it is to decline, should never be due to no decision.

City and LiUNA reach deal to allow mid-rise at 186 Hunter East
- Joey Coleman

"There is a tentative confidential settlement between the City of Hamilton and LiUNA’s Wellington Hamilton Non-Profit Housing Inc. to allow the construction of a mid-rise building at 186 Hunter Street East.

LiUNA applied for an official plan amendment to permit a 12-storey residential building containing 104 residential units. A portion of the units will be affordable using Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation definitions.

As TPR first reported in July 2022, LiUNA filed a non-decision appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal shortly after the 120-day deadline for the City of Hamilton to render a Council decision passed.

At the time, City of Hamilton Director of Planning and Chief Planner Steve Robichaud stated he hoped to reach a negotiated settlement.

The deal comes only days before the two sides were expected to spend two weeks contesting positions before the Ontario Land Tribunal. Arguments were to begin on Monday, November 6.

Notice of the settlement was transmitted to the OLT just before 5 p.m. on Monday.

City Council will debate the settlement in closed session during the November 14 planning committee meeting.

The deal will be kept confidential until after the OLT settlement hearing on December 6."
