Does anyone know about JFJ? Google turns up a company with a similar name in Chicago, but the company address according to the documents is in Richmond Hill.

John Filion is going to have a field day with this one.

Looks very similar to the one closer to Yonge. Towns on Bogert and a midrise on Sheppard. It's a big increase in density, but honestly, I don't mind it. It works.

Also: the city is requiring quite the road widening there. Do they really see Sheppard with 6 lanes eventually?

Why stop at 6?! If we're really smart, maybe we can hold a drag race here someday!

Actually 7 lanes along Sheppard Ave West; 3 eastbound + 3 westbound + 1 left turn lane. Sheppard Ave West is already 7 lanes closer to Yonge Street,... between the service ring roads of Beecroft Road and Doris Ave.

BTW, that almost identical twin closer to Yonge,... aka 53-63 Sheppard Ave West,... has already been chopped by the developer before going to OMB.

This is why we need the OMB.

This is why we need the OMB.

I seriously doubt this "developer" would even take this "development proposal" to the OMB.

The developer has filed an appeal at the OMB, but there are no hearings scheduled yet: https://www.omb.gov.on.ca/ecs/CaseDetail.aspx?n=PL170200

A prehearing is scheduled at the OMB for September 15, 2017.

Just like 53-63 Sheppard & its adjacent properties 62-68 Bogert Ave, this likely won't be built anytime soon. These are Land Assemblers, UpZoning their assembled lots to Flip.

I believe the "Updated Project Description" is what was previously submitted, refused by City and then approved at OMB/LPAT - see image. Since it was originally submitted prior to Sheppard Avenue Commercial Area Secondary Plan coming into effect - it's not subject to the lower height and density limits.

The docs for new resubmission isn't online yet,... but I suspect the previous Land-Assembler PineLake/JFJ Development has likely sold and previous design technically belongs to them,.... so new owner is required to resubmit new design - likely within same OMB/LPAT approved built form - anything outside of that would be subject to the lower height and density limits within Sheppard Avenue Commercial Area Secondary Plan.

Newest rendering from Development Application site seems very similar to previous rendering - just a few slight cosmetic changes
