The Lobbyist Registry tells us the above properties are in play.

This assembly runs from just north of Eglinton, between Park Hill Road, and The Allen.

This site is ripe for intensification. Adjacent to two transit lines and the Allen....

 

[rdaner]

I wonder if precedent has any real value in cases where the market has changed drastically since the existing structures were built? Also what if the original buildings to go up failed to utilize nearby infrastructure?

Stop there. yes it does.

in cases where the market has changed drastically since the existing structures were built?

There are basis in planning for new precedents to be set; but the barrier is always lower, when an existing precedent serves your purpose.

Also what if the original buildings to go up failed to utilize nearby infrastructure

This is not a legitimate consideration at the level an individual planning application. This is exactly what an MTSA addresses, which, this site is within.

Site size: ~33,000ft2 typically enough for two towers. (The Toronto Maps site property parcel function isn't working this right now, so I can't see the easements)

* note, one can see that these properties currently lack a sidewalk this indicates the need for about an 8m setback which reduces the site to ~24,000ft2

A singular tower thus becomes more likely.

Thanks - do they have a "Local Context" / Future State map or image in the report..?

Site is located inside the now official Keesdale-Forest Hill PMTSA mega-block.

...and on Councillor Colle's side of the street.

Thanks, they are MISSING the CreateTO "Housing Now" site at 1250 EGLINTON WEST in that image, but it will be good to "borrow" their context images as we try to improve that over-station site.

This project and a few others would make Cedarvale station have a proper TOD that is greatly needed.

It would be the southern extension of the condo tower cluster on Marlee.

 

[Cambry Ardship]

93 car parking spaces seems like altogether too many for a place with this good transit and biking connections. This should be an almost wholly transit oriented development. But the general thrust of the development, and the conceptual understanding of the area is right.

Eyeballing it, that future state map is showing the development of roughly 7000 units. What's needed is similar developments to the east side as well. It would be equitable and good for the city to have similar density on other side of the Allen.
