Zoning by-law amendment for 16-storey mid-rise building near transit station approved over City's 10-storey modification.
The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's decision to amend its zoning by-law to permit a 10-storey mixed-use building, seeking instead approval for a 16-storey building.
The Tribunal found that the 16-storey proposal constitutes an appropriate 'tall mid-rise' building given the site's proximity to a major transit station area.
The Tribunal preferred the applicant's expert evidence that the proposal fits the existing and planned context, adequately limits shadow impacts on the public realm, and provides acceptable transition to adjacent neighbourhoods.
The appeal was allowed in part, and the proposed zoning by-law amendment for the 16-storey building was approved in principle.
