There's no application on the city website, is this just a preliminary mockup?

If Mike pulls this off, all power to him.
5.5m setback to east, 5.7m to north, 1.2m to south and 0m to west
150k SF GFA @ $16m purchase for $106/buildable
The standard floor plates are 911m2... I almost wonder if they just did a 25 storey slim tower at 650m2 floor plates, you can get into the low 200,000s GFA . Though your efficiencies will be jeopardized with more than 2 elevators. If you tacked on 1926, you'd have a very efficient tower site... but it looks like 1926 comes with rental replacement, and who knows if the seller was willing to sell, etc and at what price point you could appeal to them

Let's look at how this evolved since the previous page:
Now a closer look at what's proposed here:
@HousingNowTO should be flagged given the proximity to transit and seeming appropriateness of affordable housing here.
Site Plan:
Ground Floor Plan:
Comments:
@1Ć0 is entirely on point above, this is one very challenged application as-is.
From setbacks to floor plate size; the building does not conform to either the mid-rise standards or the tall building standards and isn't particularly close.
The first issue to jump out at me, beyond the above is parking.........the argued justification here is PMSTA right next to High Park Station then we get 63 parking spaces vs 144 units for a 0.43 parking ratio - way high for this argument.
Elevator ratio is good though, 3 elevators to 144 units is over 2 elevators per 100 units.
I have difficulty seeing this one going through in its current iteration. But we shall see!

I very much hope this gets through in at least a version of what is currently being proposed and sets some precedent for changing floor plate/setbacks guidelines.
Large and decently shaped units? What is this the 70s? It's crazy the things one can fit in a building when the floor plate isn't the size of a pin head.

Disappointing. I think 17s is perfect for the site and would be my ideal height for the northern border of High Park.
