Northern Light
Superstar
New Application into the AIC for this one, at the corner of Northcliffe and Vaughan, just south of Eglinton:
Site as it is:
* Docs are Up *
Architect is Studio JCI
There's a lot to like here, Studio JCI rarely disappoint.
From the Planning Report:
Comments:
Height is a reach here, clearly predicated on MTSA
24 parking spaces, including 2 carshare spots vs 483 units is a parking ratio of less than 0.1
Landscape Plan is quite good overall, with open-trench planting beds, silva cells and good soil volumes.
The one notable downer for me is a large number of Ginko trees in the plan which are non-native and the single worst species for local wildlife (no evidence any wildlife makes use of Ginkos)
But that should be an easy change.
Unit layouts: Too many studios in the mix. A 4-brdm with under 1,000ft2 is a bit suspect.
