MOD'S NOTE: Height Changes
Going to Committee of adjustment on Dec 14 and I like it, thought prefer to see it lower than 50%. Odd the city has no objection for this site lower numbers, but it has for Hurontario site that are higher, but not at the O.8 level that will have an LRT on it. Unless the city plans on having the LRT loop hitting Confederation Dr, Let alone Living Art Dr, why is the city willing to see less cars here than Hurontario??
Consolidated Recommendation
The City has no objections to the application. The applicant may wish to defer the application to ensure that all required variances have been accurately identified.
