Site size: ~ 1400m2/15000ft2

Heritage protections: None apply.

Those houses on site have been vacated and are sitting empty for a while now. We're getting closer to all SFH's along Raglan Ave, south of Claxton, to be redeveloped into higher density residential in the near future.

Proponent is likely the Lash Group of Companies based on land sales on that assemblage.

 

[AlbertC]

Makes sense. Lash were involved with the two condo towers along St. Clair, at the corners of Raglan and Bathurst. And also with the slightly more recent Barrington project along Bathurst just north of the intersection.

 

[whatever]

Wow. I know it's just one street off of Bathurst, but that's a ton of density dropping onto a relatively minor street. Hopefully the public realm gets the attention it deserves

Between this and the proposal at Bloor and Dundas, there are a lot of crappy condos going up. Are we in a time machine back to 2001?

 

[AlbertC]

They're coasting on the formula of low design initiative, cookie cutter highrise architecture here. Basically just using the template of the adjacent condo towers also by the Goldman Group, but with some slight variations. And Richmond Architects of course are one of the go-to firms in the city for continuous generically dated designs.

5-15 Raglan Avenue - Zoning Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition Applications - Preliminary Report

This item will be considered by Toronto and East York Community Council on February 16, 2022.

Summary​

This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the Zoning By-law Amendment application for a 24-storey residential building, containing 170 dwelling units. The application has been circulated to all appropriate City divisions and public agencies for comment. City Planning staff will proceed to schedule a Community Consultation Meeting for the application, in consultation with the Ward Councillor. Staff do not support this proposal as currently submitted. Substantial revisions are required. The existing site is too small for the proposed tower because it cannot provide adequate side and rear setbacks as per the Tall Building Guidelines. To advance the application, appropriate tower setbacks and separation distances will need to be achieved or secured.​

In a different twist, the settlement offer includes ....... a Height Increase!

The changes:

* not sure if there were new renders, the .pdf file was taking forever to load, I got bored, LOL

the weirdest, smallest retail unit I've ever seen, which for some reason includes a vestibule into the residential lobby (???)

Approved earlier this year. Revised to a 28 storey 95.2m (increase of 16.5m from original proposal).
Not sure how to feel..

Just to be technical about it, City Council approved sending reps to the OLT on April 3 to declare support for the settlement, but is asking that the OLT withhold its final approval until a number of line items have been resolved. So, final approvals are close…
