This is the best summary I could come up with:
The motion, which aims to address what is widely referred to as the "missing middle" of housing availability, called on the city to allow four units "as of right" in Mississauga.
For his part, Tedjo said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that the vote is a "set back" but he will continue to push for Mississauga to make changes to its zoning bylaws to address the housing affordability crisis.
Damerla, however, said she approved of the motion to ask staff to study the feasibility of fourplexes in consultation with the city's housing panel and subject to a public meeting.
Crombie, who is running for leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, said, "It continues to be a major priority of mine to see this motion on fourplexes pass at Mississauga City Council at the earliest opportunity."
In an Oct. 3 letter to Crombie, Fraser said he needs to ensure that Mississauga is taking steps to address the housing crisis before he makes a decision on the city's application.
Taking such steps indicated would "put me in a position to approve your application," Fraser said in the letter, later made public by the minister and members of council.
