One could always look at incorporating use it or lose it rules into the bylaws, however with current provincial leadership I doubt that would be allowed, however if it was it would effectively force developers to actually build. Obviously it would have to be a reasonable time since we have to at least give developers the ability to play the markets like they're going to but it would theoretically reduce zone and flips.
In the case of half of the approved projects within the Growing Together area they got grandfathered in to the new bylaw but if the developer doesn't get permits in I think 10 years it'll revert to the Growing Together bylaw meaning alot of the OPA/ZBA changes they got wouldn't pass (parking is the exception) so they'd have to go through the process again so in this case it'll force developers hand to actually build.
