The plan includes 7 buildings (13 towers) which range in height from 6 to 35 storeys. The lands are to be developed in 3 phases, with implementation guided by a master plan. The commercial and offices uses are proposed to be within buildings closest to King Street and Weber Street.
Official plan changes requested include:
- re-designating the lands to permit mixed-use high density residential
- removing site specific policies (Specific Provision Area 44) from 435 King St N
- allowing varying building heights across the site (6 to 35 storeys)
- allowing additional non-residential uses within mixed use buildings
- re-zoning the lands to permit mixed-use high density residential uses
- allowing maximum building heights across the site, ranging from 6 storeys (21 metres) to 35 storeys (115 metres)
- allowing a maximum density for 435 King St N of 750 bedrooms per hectare and limiting the maximum density for 450-460 Weber St N to 600 bedrooms per hectare
- allowing additional non-residential uses, including commercial school, commercial services, private school and retail stores
- allowing the above-noted additional non-residential uses, and office uses, to locate on any storey within the base of a building
- removing the requirement for childcare centres to be located adjacent to a street
- increasing the maximum amount of specified non-residential uses within Buildings A and C to 15% of the building floor area or 7,700 square metres, whichever is more restrictive
- removing the regulation that limits the size of commercial units to a maximum of 465 square metres for office, child care centre and private school uses
- increasing the driveway width to 10.0 metres where connected to a regional road
