Toronto 685 Lake Shore East | 201.91m | 58s | Carlyle Communities | BDP Quadrangle

On the north side of the same Lake Shore and Broadview corner the allowed height is 190m according to the by-laws for the East Harbour / Unilever site. Seems like a transit oriented location. I can see having zero affordable units being an issue especially with that being the focus where there is transit and as part of Waterfront objectives, but I'm not sure how this building wouldn't fit here considering what will be across the street and the now much denser plans for Villiers Island.
 
A revised submission is in for this one:


@Paclo

No New Renders

Still BDPQ

Now 2 discrete buildings

Height increase to 59s and 54s

This one was at the last meeting of Council, as a Settlement Offer:

(High Level Link)


There's quite a bit to digest, but I will bring forward the massing/scale related items, please note, this is a two-parter due to a further change adopted at Council, and they need to be read together:

I'll skip over some material, which interested parties can enjoy perusing by following the link...........

But I will bring forward the affordable housing section for @HousingNowTO

Just in time for Doug to cut them down to half size. What a normal place to do business...
You are referring to the jets at Billy Bishop proposal right?

I wonder what the new flight path restrictions will look like if it fully goes ahead since the current path for the turbo props comes in with a big turn.

I'm not sure that flightpath restrictions would run this far north. The flightpath runs south of the Hearn.. Depending on the final Airport Zoning Regs this may or may not be effected.

going off the design of the approach surface for pearson, the surface would end about 200m south of here.

The pearson approach surface is 15km long, and 2.4km off centreline at the end of the surface, or widens by 1 metre for every 6.25m of distance from the runway. The centreline from the runway would be approximately 4km long as it travels past this site, which means a ~640m wide surface off-centreline.. the site is about 950m north of the centreline.

That would (very roughly) limit impacts to south of Commissioners Street, basically. So Villiers would be ok, as would here.. but anything south of that would have to be shorter. Basically, a redevelopment of Rebel Nightclub would be held to ~15 storeys and the Hearn site would be ~25 storeys, but here they could go wild.

This is Pearson's airport regs - I don't see why Billy Bishop would be even more stringent:

This is the existing approach surface for Billy Bishop - the area effectively works out the same (1:6.25m) - the key difference is that the elevation climbs 1:20m instead of 1:50m, which means that Rebel can redevelop at 45st instead of 15st.

This is the approach surface alignment from Porter's 2013 plans - it's well south of here.

It should look roughly like this..

Those are all reasonable points, particularly the unit sizes and remaining respectful of views of local historical structures. Too, that podium, for all its curves and sculpted elevations, remains a bit daunting. Regardless of whatever eventually unfolds, I will not shed a tear for the Greyhound facility.
