This is Yonge Street, walking distance from a future rapid transit interchange.

This is fine, so long as near 0 parking spots are built.

Developer is Rockport Group, architect is RAW:

So I gather that's the general height planned for Yonge south to Davisville (save for the main intersections)?

 

[Midtown Urbanist]

That would be okay for me. Yet, I am sure they will find opposition from the councilor.

Preliminary Report: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2019/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-124061.pdf

Built Form, Planned and Built Context Planning staff are reviewing the application for conformity to the Official Plan policies speaking to built form and an application's planned and built context including Sections 2.2.3 (Avenues), 3.1.2 (Built Form), 3.1.5 (Heritage Conservation), 4.5 (Mixed Use Areas), and the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan. Planning staff are also assessing the application in the context of OPA 405 (Midtown in Focus) which updates the YongeEglinton Secondary Plan, including:
• Reducing the overall height of the building to meet the height requirements of OPA 405;
• Incorporating additional stepbacks to enhance the prominence of the listed heritage resource and improve the presence of the building on the street; and
• Ensuring the alignment of building elements with the approved development to the north at 2112-2114 Yonge Street.

Oh brother, here we go.

I really hope that Ford strikes down OPA 405 as the rumours are saying - the last minute council NIMBYism on it is ridiculous and would never have stood up at the OMB prior to the LPAT changes.

Agreed. That and the LPAT has had a few decisions lately "re-educating" Staff on the Clergy Principle (High Park comes to mind).

Forgive my ignorance but what is OPA 405?
