This is location is the subject of a new OPA/ZBA in the AIC..........
It is currently home to a 4s lowrise rental building containing 13 units.
The intent is to replace the building, with a 10s, 70 unit building, inclusive of 13 rental units.
Existing Building:

From the above:
No renders, so we'll kick off w/elevation drawings:
Site Plan:
Ground Floor Plan:
Elevator Ratio: 1 elevator only - 1 elevator per 70 units
Parking: Zero
Comments:
I'm fine with it in theory..........but
With SFH on 2 to 3 sides...........and this being a side street, the scale may get push back. Of note, this is a low point in the landscape, well below Gerrard, and below the side streets to the east and west, which may serve to mitigate the issue.
Aerial Pic:
Also 1 elevator is inadequate, in a 10s building............this means if the elevator goes down, you are requiring someone, potentially for weeks to haul groceries up 10 floors......
***
I'm fine, in theory, with the absence of parking, but would note the absence of visitor or carshare spaces, and that existing tenants have parking in some cases, which may be an interesting test of the rental replacement regime.
