Toronto 1375 Queen West | 30.6m | 8s | Skale | Giannone Petricone

By the time this gets screwed around with over at planning, it will turn into another: soul-sucking, window walled, spandrel laced midrise. I wouldnt expect them to come out and outright approve this, but some of the reasoning here is just...ridiculous to say the least.

"Consultation" = Rich Baby boomers with too much time deciding on ways to make things worse for millennials and gen z
 
Request for Directions Report (recommending opposing this at LPAT) heads to the next meeting of TEYCC on April 20th, 2021.

Report here: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2021/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-165492.pdf

The reasons for opposition are numerous, and mostly dubious in my mind; though there are some legitimate technical issues noted as well.

Height (8 floors), Streetwall (5 floors) are both flagged, along with the absence of parking.

Everyone will know by now, I don't like parking minimums and so can't support that.

I am also challenged to see the issue w/height here; though I might be willing to entertain the street wall being cut to 4 floors.

That the applicant did come up short on some legitimate technical issues (for instance inadequate soil volume for the street trees) is unfortunate; but doesn't strike
me as the deal-breaker either way here.
 
Report to the Nov 24th meeting of TEYCC seeks direction on a With Prejudice offer from the applicant.

This is a much needed project that will change the immediate landscape. As per planning's comments, it is a little tall. Drop it to 6 stories and still start a whole sequence of change on Main St Parkdale
 
Approved at tribunal:
