Staff identified other concerns, including a need for affordable housing units in the plans, streetscape improvements, servicing and stormwater management and required right-of-way widenings.<\/p>\n Neighbouring property owners raised concerns about the development proposal at the Feb. 23 meeting.<\/p>\n A rendering shows the proposed design with the seven-storey wing on Cook Street.

They currently have issues with people parking in their lot and taking spots from patients.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are a medical building, we do service the community, and we have a lot of patients who come in and out,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cWe are just completely worried that this will overshadow us, inundate us with too many people, and our own patrons won\u2019t be able to get the services they are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n The building at 55-57 Dundas St. W.
