My thoughts exactly. In fact, I thought zoning had changed to discourage parking lots directly on King, but maybe that doesn't go this far down. I guess we will just have to hope the whole site is redeveloped one day, maybe with the inclusion of some neighbouring properties.
I think discouraging parking lots on King is part of the proposed new zoning which hasn't been approved yet. I think it also mentions once the existing car dealerships/repair shops close the land can't be used for new ones. It would probably extend to Ottawa St if that's the border of the King East neighbourhood.
I heard from a neighbour that the surface lot at the corner of King and Cameron (beside AIM medical) has also been sold for redevelopment. The building between Biba Boutique and the Market Lofts is also for sale.
