and economics of what the market can support. Mr. Atkinson indicates that the only example is the City of Toronto who has completed the analysis and they have determined only the strongest markets would support a small inclusionary zoning component, as a result the City of Toronto is likely to do this, and however, they are not certain their market will support it. Mr. Hunt indicates that they will provide any updates/communications from the Province to City Council.

Councillor Sleiman requests clarification related to condo units and inclusionary zoning and how it would work as far as keeping a percentage of units for affordable housing.

Mr. Hunt responds that this is one of the difficulties in trying to incorporate various tenure within certain development agreements. Mr. Hunt indicates that they have tried to cleave some of that out of private ownership so that it does not escalate as real estate costs increase and the market fluctuates. Mr. Hunt adds that what generally happens is that they are held by a not for profit that keeps the inflationary aspects of the real estate costs out of the equation so that they are affordable over time and that there are many legal agreements and mechanisms to allow for that to happen. Mr. Hunt adds that it would depend on the ownership model that is chosen and how those individual units are separated legally from the rest of the development file.
