I'm really curious how OGDC is going to achieve the 20m stepback requirement to the neighbourhoods to the east with their tower. The homes have a depth of 33m, which is not enough.
Agree w/ @ProjectEnd - 2818 bayview doesn't work well alone for tower. It has the depth for it, but not the width to hit the 12.5m stepbacks to north and south. It would need assembly w/ 2816
Osmington Gerofsky and Alterra have picked this one up with the addition of 2816 Bayview to expand the site and support higher density.
Single Residential Houses inside PMTSAs should be assembled, in the core - and in the suburbs.... CityStaff are changing zoning on the fly,... in the meantime, land vultures are knocking on doors trying to land assemble these Single Residential Houses,...
So that's 2810 Bayview site went from Dormer Homes recent OMB/OLT approved 7-storey 2.89FSI with 67 Units,... to Osmington's proposal of 42-storey 12.98FSI with 539 units,... which will now be approved,....

The Angular-Plane was a mistake, that is now (finally) being corrected.
Wouldn't be shocked if these last few dozen sfh got up zoned as well, making a relatively coherent chunk of development land from Yonge to Leslie.You do have a propensity for creating bears to poke sometimes, LOL
@sunnyraytoronto can speak for himself, but I don't think what he wrote took a hard position on the removing or not removing the SFH.
Rather it struck me that he felt any discussion about wholesale rezoning of an area ought to be had in the open. Clearly, some have inside knowledge of the impending change, and that is an unfair advantage in the market with literally hundreds of millions of dollars at stake.
I think the ultimate rezoning here was foreseeable, and I frankly expect it to encompass the entire area from Yonge to Bayview and the 401 to the north side of Sheppard.
I also think that's a fine idea, if we add Willowdale Station back to the Sheppard line to support that density and IF we put in place the various community/support services, parkland, schools etc to support that, as well as a new crossing of the 401 somewhere (not an interchange).
That, of course, will cost a bundle, and we need to look at timing and pros and cons vs other areas of the City with other cost profiles for the change.
The idea behind the angular plane was fine; the execution of it and the rigidity of it were not.

But where would you say a crossing should go of the 401?
And would it be a multiuse trail or include vehicle traffic?
I'm sure this is far beyond what the city has the bandwidth to plan for at the moment, but what are your thoughts on the further subdividing of the suburban 'blocks' made up by the old concession roads? I've talked it out with friends in the past to mixed reception.This is why we need to properly plan and model out different choices about what modal splits can be realistically achieved, at what cost, and whose paying.
