Wow, 44 storeys here

 

[Toronto1834]

My opinion: certainly appropriate for high rise, but this is a bit too tall considering the distance from Yonge and Eglinton and the fact that recently approved buildings near Redpath are all in the 30s.

…but there's a rapid transit station opening here, so add a bit of a height peak here.

42

I get it should be taller here....but this is just a bit too tall....I think 36 or maybe 40 floors if the towers is set back in an appropriate manner.

If they are subject to Midtown in Focus then they'll get 29 storeys.

Page 73 has the height maps.

The City will likely try to enforce Midtown in Focus, but this proposal was submitted before it was approved by council so I don't think the applicant will be bound to it.

Application date is November 14th. Is the cut off date the first of Novemebr 2017 or the first of December 2017? Is it based on the application or are all plans currently working through the system now subject to it?

 

[Toronto1834]

I'm pretty sure only applications submitted after new policies are adopted and implemented are subject to those new policies.

 

[bricksandblocks]

Cut off is the 15th. They just made it.

3. City Council determine that the comprehensive update to the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan is necessary prior to rendering a decision on new development applications submitted in the Secondary Plan area after the November 15th, 2017 meeting of the Planning and Growth Management Committee until the adoption of the revised Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan.

Holy smokes! 44 storeys? Mt Pleasant?

They got in before the deadline. They are going to get something similar to that number.
