I wholeheartedly support the City of Hamilton's request for a Minister's Zoning Order to permit plans for urgent residential housing development of the Jamesville property in Hamilton's North end.

Maximum height of towers should take in to consideration existing surrounding buildings and neighbourhood elements. A tall building will negatively impact the character of the neighbourhood, and reduce community connections
The City of Hamilton needs to provide affordable housing to the community. There are examples f mixed use dwellings with emphasis on affordable housing. Having the land lay dormant for years is not a solution but also we should develop housing that is environmentally safe to all.
I was involved in the redevelopment of the Jamesville housing complex as President of CityHousing Hamilton from 2006-2014. Given the aging 'rent geared to income' townhouses, the intent was to redevelop the large site with even more 'rent geared to income' housing, bolstered by market rent housing.

Hamilton needs housing desperately. This plot of land has been vacant for far too long. I live in the North End and fully support high density housing, including a high rise on this plot of land.

I would like to register my enthusiastic support for the development of the site known as Jamesville in Hamilton. This has sat decaying and derelict while so many people struggle to find housing.

So many people in need of affordable housing and this property sits empty and an eyesore for so long. Really can’t imagine that the sound of trains would be as upsetting to people wanting somewhere to live as some of the places they are now forced to live in .

As a resident of Hamilton, I support the the requested MZO to permit the Jamesville site to be used for
housing, commercial and institutional uses pending soil remediation.
Hamilton needs more affordable housing and constructing homes on this site is long overdue. Thank you.

Please advance the MZO for this site. The proposed development is exactly the type of development we should be encouraging in this province, and should not be held up any longer!

Hamilton has a housing crisis - this very long delayed project was supposed to replace low income housing. Please do the right thing and make this development happen.
This is the best reason to use an order to get housing built for low income and vulnerable people. I drive by this location regularly and it is a travesty that this prime location has stood empty and seemingly abandoned for so many years.

I find it outrageous and very sad that this much needed housing project has been stalled by a major corporation. If they are concerned about complaints re noise, dust, etc. why not share the number and type of complaints of complaints they have had over the past decade .
