“The lands may be used for an expansion of the existing surface parking area or to accommodate additional outdoor play space for students.”
That’s a pretty big difference. If they’re tearing down a house to build a playground, I’m probably in favour. To build parking, probably opposed. Weird that there are different zones for single family, semi-detached, townhouses, and apartments of various sizes, but you can rezone land as institutional and then either build a naturalized play area or pave it all for parking without any more interaction with the zoning regime.
