Zone change also occurred for the Mile Square clearcut (rural to industrial), presumably during or directly before the destruction of a Significant Woodland. So it may have been ineligible for the farm exemption, but also against planning rules as an application for an industrial purpose to the Planning Dept had/has not been submitted.
"It appears as if someone at the City has changed the zoning of this tiny, unique site in the Second Draft while it’s currently undergoing an application for a Zoning Bylaw Amendment. What an erosion of trust!"
Exposing the changes is important. Many citizens are concerned about changes like this that are easy to miss and all of a sudden something you thought was clear and not a concern has become one.
I do like the mix of apartments being offered as there are very few 3 and 4 bedroom ones in Kingston, which appears to attract families... but on street parking is offered which for a family is more difficult.

This is what I've come to expect from the city - deals made before an application is brought or heard. It would be really nice for this to stop.
