Looking at the context slides really makes it clear: maxing out at 18 stories here is a bad joke.

From the CreateTO Board report above - "The proponent team, led by Missanabie Cree First Nation and EllisDon Community Builders, are working with the Housing Secretariat to advance a City-initiated zoning by-law amendment in response to Council direction received through Item CC2.1. This rezoning submission is expected for July. Concurrently, the development partners continue to work with the Housing Secretariat to refine the financing package in preparation for a submission to CMHC’s Co-Investment program with refreshed numbers to reflect the targeted additional density."

We're taking side-bets now as to if you think the new City-initiated zoning by-law amendments will --- [1] Approach, [2] Meet, or [3] Beat --- our HNTO volunteers Height and R-GFA numbers for that site as submitted to Council in 2019..?

[Summer 2019 HNTO Validated Numbers]

- Storeys = 26
- Units = ~293 (approx)
- R-GFA = ~17,265 m3 / ~162,478 ft3

I'm not sure why it shouldn't be higher than 26s at this point; though, I would support a more generous setback above the ~4th floor as part of that; and/or reprofling. That only works, of course, if one picks up enough new height to offset those changes.
 
I think 36 stories would be a good use of the site without going overboard. I was thinking mid-30s all along, while 36 specifically is a nice choice for being exactly twice as tall as 18 stories.
 
The AIC link in this thread no longer works, and I can't pull up any applications on Merton Street for some reason, which is absurd. (I hate when they rejig the AIC)

@Art Tsai do we have a working link for this one?
