April 9, 2026 Update

Hello Neighbours 

As you may or may not know there is an application for a Development Permit for a 6 Plex on Chelsea Street in Rosemont. There is a Restrictive Covenant on one of the Lots that the Owner needs for the Development so it is up to us to Uphold the Restrictive Covenant. The Restrictive Covenant was put on the lot in 1958 by Carma Developers that states there should only be one dwelling on the lot.  So far we have sent a letter  to the owner to advise them of the Restrictive Covenant and that we would be upholding it. We are hoping that will be enough to deter them and they will withdraw the application; however,  we have set the dates for these  meetings in the case that they do not withdraw and we have to engage the services of a lawyer to uphold the covenant. The dates of May 12 and May 20 are the only available dates for a community meeting before summer. We will probably need two dates if we do have to engage a lawyer to make sure we have enough support  to afford the legal services. 

Because there is a Restrictive Covenant on the Property we are able to fight this development and hopefully prevent further development like this in Rosemont. If it did not have the RC then we would not be able to fight it. 

Please seriously consider attending one of these meetings to help prevent this kind of development in Rosemont. We hope that Blanket Rezoning will be repealed but in the meantime the City is still accepting Development Permits for RCG development until August.

Meeting for Support of Upholding the Restrictive Covenant for 6 Plex Development Permit on 70 and 74 Chelsea Street in Rosemont 

Tuesday May 12, 2026 or Wednesday May 20, 2026 
7PM at Rosemont Community Hall
