I should also add, the way the current direct control zoning is written, the plot the Y is on can only be used for the Y. In general the parcels around it are allowed to build residential of any type, subject to some height and density limitations and to contributing to meeting an overall minimum number of dwelling units in the area (1250), but there are no provisions in the bylaw for allowing the construction of anything other than the Y on the parcel it occupies. In the bylaw it is called the "Special Site", and there is no allowable units per acre, FAR or building height. It is essentially carved out as its own little slice of land completely and utterly dedicated to the YMCA as it sits now.
