According to the Toronto Region Conservation Authority, which has planning & permiting authority and provides advice to the city planning department, the subject hill is an impediment to construction.

TRCA holds a surprising amount of planning and permitting jurisdiction throughout the watershed - the site is adjacent to a major ravine and there are a lot of regulations, buffers and set-back requirements from hazard zones and the tops of embankments.
 
And here's phase three:
