During it they they mentioned that the current plan was to convert the church and leave the house beside it as is but there wasn't even any official plans. The two properties on Madison weren't even mentioned. I actually emailed Sarah Marsh at the time to ask about the houses on Madison and she had not heard anything about them being part of it.
So since last August until now there hasn't been any mention of what's going on and then this weekend they put up fencing around all these properties including ones that weren't even part of the rezoning. It just seems like it might be bigger than the conversion to 10 units that was originally mentioned.
As far as I can tell, subsequent to the meeting, the church property was rezoned to R-7 (medium height residential), to match the (almost) two surrounding blocks which were already zoned R-7, including the houses on Duke St. Most of the remainder of this neighbourhood is zoned R-5, which also allows medium-height residential.
There is a demolition permit application (21-122002) in the system (not yet showing as approved) for the church: "Permit is for the demolition of a vacant church for future affordable housing complex."

No, it's Vive. The church has closed.
